Episode Date: February 27, 2026

On today’s episode, NFL Combine Week is officially underway. We take a look at some of the big stories surrounding a few prospects as well as general NFL news. Will Trent Williams be on the move? Nobody wants to touch Tua or Tyreek Hill? Titans and Jets trade defensive linemen, and Landon Dickerson announces his return to Philly. Chris Costich and CJ Medeiros talk all this and more!

On today's episode of the Fumbaruski podcast, it's Combine Week. Biggest stories going into Combine Week in terms of prospects, well, more so in terms of who's actually in the league and who could potentially be on the move. Titans have already made a trade with the Jets. We'll talk about it here on the Fumblewiski podcast. It may not have always showed it in the stats sheet, but you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back-to-back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie.

Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides. Welcome to the Fumble Ruski podcast by Power 88 Dean Radio and Secret Weapon Consulting. We got C.J. Medeiros and we got myself Chris Kostich for you today. It's Combine Week. That's obviously we kind of surprised ourselves with it on Monday, or Tuesday, I should say. But, you know, obviously the big talking point is who's going to impress the most. in terms of draft prospects for this week. But, of course, the other thing is just general NFL storylines altogether.

And, well, there's a lot of them, to say the least. But I guess quickly on the draft prospects. So today was, remind me, it was D-line. I have a wrap. Yeah, I think it was front seven guys, yeah. D-line, linebackers, and place kickers. Yeah, so front seven guys and kickers. Yeah.

We're recording this on Thursday just before four. So Combine started up at three Eastern time, pretty sure. I'm terrible keeping track. But you were saying there's someone with short arms again. Two guys with short arms. Two guys, short arms. Shit. So I'm just going to say it.

As the resident draft guy, I have authority here. So yippee. Two of the top edge rushers in this year's class, Miami's Rubin Bain Jr. and Texas A&M's Cassius Howell have really, really short arms. For reference, they both are projecting going on the first round, and for me, they're both in my top five edge rushers for the draft. So I cannot stress this enough. How short are their arms, you may ask me? This is like where we're in historic territory, by the way. Ruben Bain Jr. at Edrushar, once again out of Miami, his arm length is 30 and 7 eighths of an inch.

Cassius Howell is, you know, out of Texas A&M is 30 and a quarter inches. So I would like to say this real quick. just how bad is it, you may ask. Cassius Howell is the third smallest arm length for an edge rusher, and Bain Jr. is tied for the fourth shortest. If they both go in the first round, they would have the shortest arms since 1999. Literally before some NFL teams, you know,

like the Houston Texans even existed. So, so, yeah, we're, so there has not been players with arms this short, or at least on the defense side. the ball in a millennium. And what was that? What did you say the measurements were again? Cassius Howell, 30 and a quarter.

Bain 30 and 7.8s. So to give you an idea, the average arm span for, in CJA, I'm more or less just saying this for the listeners, because I'm assuming you know this, or maybe you don't. Yeah, no, you got to say it's the job. The average arm length, uh, for edge rushers and just defensive linemen in general is about 33 and a half inches. That's three inches less.

Like, Jesus Christ. Don't get me wrong. Like, I like these guys. Ruben Bain's actually my number one in my Eddrusher prospect rankings. Because he's just a ball. He's just a gamer. You know what I mean? Like, I love Ruben Bain.

He's saying stuff. I don't know if you've seen like his interviews. Have you by any chance? seen his combine interviews have just been immaculate and people are already saying that he doesn't really have it people are noting that his hair is not done up in any special way he doesn't have any flashy jewelry dude's just there for the love of the game he is no flash but he is all substance in fact uh you know former NFL player devon walker was talking about Ruben bay and said NFL comby week my guy got no haircut, line, nothing.

14 time all probe on the way. Draft him number one. I got to agree, man. Ruben Bain said, quote, I eat, sleep, and breathe football. I have no hobbies. That's just that killer mentality. And we saw them at the U.

Cassius Howell has been one of the risers as well, with most mock drafts I see having them in the first round. And for what it's worth, I do think both of them end up going. Yeah, I mean, do you think that the Will Campbell saga of his, of him having T. Rex arms is going to, because it didn't affect Will Campbell's draft stock. He really didn't. It didn't really affect his play until he got hurt. Like, that became really apparent once he got hurt. But as far as, like, if that affects it, honestly, I'm going to say, yeah.

I think it does. it's an easy cop-out answer, but there was never this much worry of players' arm length until Will Campbell. I mean, maybe you kind of saw it with Peter Skoronsky, but Campbell, that was like the talk of the draft. And it got really stupid, really fast. And now you're starting to see it matriculate its way to the defensive side of the ball, whole other planted essentially. So, yeah, we might have just started. started here. For a lineman, people who obsess over arm length, this is offense or defense,

are the same people that said Joe Burroughs' hands were too small for him to play quarterback in the NFL. And yet here we are. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'd be interested to see if, you know, that, like, if it does end up affecting them, especially because, you know, when you look at Will Campbell and his performance in the Super Bowl, it was pretty pissed poor. I mean, to be fair, and as someone who has criticized Campbell a lot, even I can say he was her. Like he was playing through a torn ligament. I don't know what, but either way.

Yeah. And like also too, I think in terms of, you know, since we're on the topic of edge rushers, you know, it's there's different types of these edge rushers. You got the power guys and you got the power guys. and you got the finesse guys. And then you got the guys that can do both. And I guess that's what we're going to find out here of what kind of edge rushers they can be or are

and how the arm length is going to affect that. Because if it's a power rushing guy and he's got some beef to him, I'm just speaking generally, I'm not speaking on anyone specific. If he's got some beef to him and he's got a lot of power, then he can get a lot of knockback on. And that's a whole other thing. If he's a finesse guy can blow right by an offensive tackle, that's great too.

But if he can't do either of those, then, yeah, the short arms are going to be a fucking problem because he's just going to go manhandled. My personal opinion on this matter is I think this is going to impact Cassius Howell far more than it affects Ruben Bain because the guy you said had some power to him, that's Ruben Bain. he is just a vicious, powerful, like, well-built edge rusher. Cassius Howell is more of a... He does have some power to him, I'll grant him that, but he's mostly like a speed and finesse rusher as well. He wins mostly on technique. Bain wins.

That don't get wrong, I'm not understanding Bain's technique at all. It is immaculate, but for the most part, it is his power. So Bain, I think, will go in the top 10, probably top five. I don't know. This is a very weird draft to predict. Howell, though, this could really hurt him. He might actually, because already, I said he was rising, I don't think I've ever seen him go higher than 20. So this could theoretically knock him out of the first round. Yeah. Like I said, if you got a guy that can get some knockback, then I think your problems about short arms are maybe weak, but who knows?

All right. anything else i want to touch on in terms of actual draft prospects i mean obviously not a ton to go off at the moment but might be not really but just for the general populace for the love of god stop being swayed by fast 40 times i beg of you yeah i mean they're important but john ross anyone true well uh we'll be able to do more of a uh in-depth full breakdown of combine on tuesday but, you know, there's a couple stories to look at right there. Did you see Dan Orlovsky doesn't have Fernando Mendoza going number one? Yeah, I did see that.

And you know what? Just Dan Orlovsky, man, that's all. You see, the thing is, especially in the Bokdraft business, you've got to be different. You know, you have to say, this is going to happen and here's why. That's what it is. It's Dan Rolovsky. That's all. And you know what?

I can sleep peacefully at night knowing that whenever he says something stupid, every giff in the comments will just be of him running out of bounds from his lion's time. God bless. God bless. All right. With that, we'll take a quick break. When we come back,

we'll get into more general NFL news that has come out basically since Tuesday. This is the Lumberusk podcast. It may not have always showed it in the statute. sheet. But you can see him making throws when he needs to make the throws. Back-to-back games where he has three touchdowns. Someone's got to get that six or seven spot. He's an elite wide receiver as a rookie. Truly a lose-lose scenario for both sides.

All right. General NFL news. There's a lot to go over. We'll try to get through this somewhat quickly. Probably won't. We'll see what happens. Well, we have to kind of get through it quickly just because of my schedule. We'll start with the news. well, there's a couple things that just came out

within the last couple hours of us recording or before us recording. This being one of them, Colton, Anthony Richardson, agreed to seek out a trade. This is one of the few stories that we're going to go over today that relate to trades or potential trades. And really, the writing on the wall with Anthony Richardson

was there already. I mean, you have a guy that, you know, beautiful deep ball, but his accuracy is shit. It's more of a running back, this and that. And then he pulls himself out of a, he pulls himself off for a play, which you don't do as a quarterback. You would know you are a quarterback. Like I said it last year, as soon as he did that, I said he should never play a snap in the NFL again. And granted, was I, was I harsh? Maybe.

but at the same time It never happens. That's the thing. It never happens. Quarterbacks literally have to be dragged off the field half the time to be like pulled off to be if they're hurt and what. Like I just got done watching the John Elway documentary on Netflix. And it's like that's a guy that you literally had to drag off the field

in order to like save them essentially, especially later in his career. Um, so and you can also say that, you know, maybe Shane Steichen wasn't, uh, using Richardson correctly and the fact that literally all they did was run him. So that's why you had to take a playoff, which still, like I said, bullshit. Um, but in terms of Anthony Richardson, this has been a, uh, this hasn't been a great situation for him. Do I, does he deserve a reset?

Sure. But in the back of my mind, I'm still going to remember him as the guy that, the quarterback that took a playoff because he was tired. I want to take us back to 2023. Do you remember what I said? I said Anthony Richardson should not be taken this high. I said he was the pure deaf fission of a project quarterback. even his college tape did not suggest he's worthy of going in the first round.

And unless the Colts do everything right, like everything is to go right, he's going to flop. And see, not to cut you off. Like, I'm a casual football college football watcher. And like I hadn't seen Anthony Richardson play all that much. And literally all you have to do is look at Florida's season from that year. And you would know that he wasn't a. first, wasn't even close to being a first round guy. Exactly.

Nothing in his stats, nothing in his tape, nothing in the way the Florida offense looked would suggest he's first round. But, you know, he's tall, he's fast, and he is a rocket arm. He was literally the quintessential definition of a project. He was just Joe Milton with better PR, essentially. And that's what happened. And I said, like, I don't think Andy was a good place for him to go. And, well, I like my write-again award, please.

You can just send that to my address, which I can't say here. But, you know, imagine if I did just for the wolves. So, yeah, this isn't shocking to me. I don't think he's a starting caliber quarterback. Honestly, even if you have to start him, let's just say four games as a backup, I think best case scenario, you're going one in three. He can't even stay healthy either. So if your starting quarterback does go down,

you're probably going to need to invest in a good third stringer if he's your number two. Even when he doesn't play, he gets hurt. Yeah, that orbital bumping, that was weird. All jokes aside, that's scary. I do hope he peels up well? And I think, do you want to know what I think Anthony Richardson's future in the league is?

Tase him Hill on steroids. Because Richardson's a big dude, and he's fast and he's strong. Get him out there in a jumbo formation. let it be like a glorified fullback use them as like a fourth string tight end use them as a run specialist on the goal line damn imagine a tush push with that monster

and you know what if it's Hail Mary time just let him fucking sling it you know like I think there is a future for him but I see him like we see Taysam Hill yeah I agree with that

I can agree with that all right Moving on to the next topic. The Titans and the Jets get involved in the trade. Tavadre Sweat is heading to New York. In return, Jermaine Johnson is heading to the Titans. This is what if you've ever played Madden, this is one of those trades, you know,

that you just see like in the background of your simulation. of the world. We're just like, huh, that happens. You know, like you, it's like the years like 2031 in your franchise and that's just like a background blurb. That's what this is. Jermaine Johnson, obviously first round pick out of Florida State for the Jets back in 2022. He's very good, I think, but he just hasn't been able to put it all together. He's, he gets dinged up quite a bit. And last season, he started 13 games, played in 14, had 43 total tackles and three sacks,

six QB hits, like, I think he's only got one forced fumble on his career. So, you know, maybe he just needs a fresh start. You know, it is worth noting that his best season was with Robert Salas, so, you know, so now he's with the Titans, maybe that could work. But on the other side for the Jets, they're bringing in the big man to Vondre's sweat from the Titans, six, four, 360 some odd pounds, just absolute monster in the run stuffing world. So that's really what you're going to be getting. The pass rush bag is like non-existent. The ability to get to the quarterback isn't there. I think across two years, he has six total

QB hits. He's got three total sacks, but you're getting him for the run stuffing ability. And believe you, me, the Jets need the run stuffing ability. The only issue, that I think people have with sweat is his conditioning. He's not an every down type of player. Remember when the Eagles drafted Jordan Davis and people had issues with his conditioning, but those incoming fruition is Davis is on the field a lot. That actually manifests itself in Tavandre Sweat.

But I think he can be good with the right team. I also don't think the Jets are the right team. No, I mean, the Jets, I would argue that Tavondre Sweat is the better guy here, but. Oh, yeah, at this point. So you could say the Jets won the trade, but you also brought up the fact that Jermaine Johnson is essentially a solid guy. Titans should win if Johnson can stay healthy. Yeah, I like it.

The ceiling's higher, you know. Yeah. Other trade news, well, there's a update on Tua. Nobody wants them, apparently. There was a anonymous NFL executive that, I don't have the quote up right now, but it was some harsh words said about Tua. Nobody wants them. And same thing.

Kind of a similar thing with Tyree Kill as well. Like there was one guy that said they wouldn't even touch him with a 10 foot pole. And yeah. But we'll get, we can touch on Tyreek after. But in terms of Tua, I mean, nobody wants to touch his contracts. And it's seemingly like more and more. that that's who it's just going to get cut

and the dolphins are just going to have to eat a fuck ton of money. Yeah, even off of his insane career year, we all knew he wasn't worth the money because Tua was very much a guy who was a product of the weapons around him rather than him elevating the team. And that has obviously come to fruition.

And in 2026, his his cap hit is $56 million. And, you know, there were rumors that Miami would be willing to eat like half of that in a trade, but it's just not going to happen. Also, on top of that, right? On top of him being mid, and on top of him being too expensive to just be mid, he's injury prone. Like, every year he keeps getting hurt. And sometimes it's just concussion stacked on top of each other, which, Dude, you've got so much money in the bank already, man, just retire for the love of your family.

But, yeah, that doesn't shock me to apparently most teams around the league are just waiting for him to get cut. He might do a Russell Wilson thing where after he successfully fleeces an organization, he gets cut and signed somewhere for dirt chief. And as for Tyree Kill, yeah, his knee exploded. There's structural damage. There's ligaments blown. And you got to remember, his whole game. is speed. He's not the best route runner. He's not the best contested catch guy. His game is speed. And he's already on the wrong side of 30s. So low key, this could be the

end. I don't think it is, but it could very well be. Yeah. And that's the shady part with the dolphins now is that you have two choices. You either cut them or play them and you really don't want to play them. Yeah. It's wild news. Some people upside. I didn't want to cut you up. say apparently there are some people that actually don't expect Hill to even play this year. Yeah. Not surprising. That, I think that was part of the, uh, the quote that I was, uh, thinking of in terms of Tyree kill.

That was a, that was a scathing quote to say at least. I mean, oh, yeah. For good reason. Tyreek's kind of a shit, uh, shithead. But, uh, in terms of some other potential trades or cuts, Trent Williams. now in a contract dispute with the 49ers. The big thing really is that the Niners are trying to restructure Williams' contract, and he is having none of it.

So there's a very real chance that Trent Williams is on the move sometime soon. Honestly, I can see that. Now, you've got to realize he's old as far as, you know, as far as NFL players go. He was drafted in 2010. Yeah, that was his draft. They don't get around the accolades speak for themselves. He is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, one of the best tackles of all time.

Yeah. You know, he's been in the NFL, like, you know, if you don't count that one injury year for 15 years. And he has started 203 games. And credit where it's due, that's very good. that's very good, but he's kind of been dinged up as of late, especially uh, 2024 where, you know,

he only played 10 games. It's starting to become like, he's going to miss a game here, miss a game there, and they're starting to snowball, you know? Last year, we only missed one game,

but then the year before that, like I said, you know, he missed like seven and then two, then three, you know, it's like he's not that 17 game guy anymore. And honestly,

for the Niners. Like, don't get me wrong, he's good, but a $39 million cap hit for a guy who's this old, I don't know. Yeah. Yeah. It's 38. I mean, that's the thing, though, is like, you know, you mentioned the age, but Truman Williams is still a fun motherfucker to watch Block. Like, yeah.

When he's trying, you know, there have been a few times this season or if you've tuned in to watch the Niners, dude will just, every so often, he will just actually take a playoff. He can't really have that as left tackle. I mean, you've seen it.

I don't know if I have actually. Huh? I don't know if I have actually. I don't, I mean, I've seen it at least like once or twice. I mean, but it's Trent Williams,

so they let it slide, but I don't know, he's 37. So it gets to a point where it's like, all right, dude, 39-mill. Like, why? Why won't you restructure?

you're still going to get your money just later yeah yeah how many excuse me how many years does you have left on this contract oh this is he has two years left on his deal yeah yeah so i mean just to restructure you're literally just going to get it next year so come on yeah yeah yeah i mean they could just i mean that's i guess the other thing too is that the Niners still have 25 mil in cap space though. Yeah. Well, what's my rule? You never have as much cap space as you think you do.

And the Niners have seven guys over the roster limit. Yeah, well, they should probably do something about that. Yeah. So I feel like that you could definitely easily get rid of some contracts without getting rid of Trent Williams. But at the same

time like you're probably going to be looking to depart from him at some point here and you don't really want to kick the can down the road for another season especially if you're trying to get younger at the same time in terms of other trade rumors the cj stroud trade rumors squashed rubbed out erased uh i think it was nick casseroe you can correct me on that if you can but i think it was nick stereo that came out and said all those trade rumors throw it out the window they're not real they are Fugasey good for him yeah good for him like but i want to say this

i mean maybe it's one of those things where they say one thing july for like misdirection which i totally get you need a smoke screen but just look into it is all i'm saying and i hate these bastard texans fans that have been saying things like oh the c j stroud hate man, that's just recency bias. That's a word that's been thrown around here. Recency bias. No, it's called he's been regressing for the past two seasons and it's pretty fucking obvious bias.

If you are willing to look me in the eye and tell me that he is the same player and just as good as his rookie season, that I have some beautiful beachfront property in Wyoming. I'd like to sell you. I guess that's the other. Really, recently bias, if we can see it with our own eyes, though. There were problems last year, too. Yeah. No, that's the other thing is like, you know, we've seen what he can do.

And yeah, he's regressed. Is that a CJ Stroud problem? Or is it a Houston Texan's problem? Because, you know, Bobby Sloak was the OC and he was really good that rookie season. And all of a sudden, he's gone. Now, they were having problems starting having. problems with while Sloke was still the OC. But when you also look at what's around them, Houston's receivers have also had a hard time staying healthy. Stefan Diggs last season,

or not this past season, and 24, Tours ACL, Tank Dell missed this entire season because of an insane injury that nobody could ever fathom. Nico Collins has been in and out of the lineup. Christian Kirk is also another guy that's a little injury prone. Like, which is funny enough considering that Christian Kirk was the most consistent guy to stay in the lineup. Yeah, but you have to realize they also did a lot to remedy this. You know, Woody Marks emerged as a solid running back. And then they drafted Higgins and Noel from Iowa State.

Yeah. So, like, they've tried. And look, and they've even improved the offensive line. I mean, I'll give you his sophomore year. It was bad. But this time they at least brought it to around average, you know? Like it gets to a point where I'm just saying like trade rumors getting squash or not. But to call the C.J. Straub bashing recency bias is laughably uneducated.

And the people that say, well, it's just recency bias. Like, just don't even watch football. You're unworthy. I see it as half at half personally. Like. sure it could be recency bias, but like the writing's still on the wall.

Like, you essentially have to give C.J. Stroud one more year and that's... Yeah. And now you have your opinion about C.J. Stroud at this point. I do have a question, though. So this was obviously his third year in the league. It's time for Houston to make a decision.

Chris, play GM. You're Nick Casario. Do you pick up his fifth year option? Hey, I'm not going to lie. Even though I just said some pretty heinous stuff, I can see both sides. I say yes, evidently. I say yes.

Okay, fair enough. Fair enough, I get that. So you would give him two more years. And if he's still looking like this, I'm sorry, then you can't justify an extension. You just can't. In a league where anybody who can hold a clipboard can get a nine-figure contract,

I just don't think C.J. Stroud should be getting that. No. Especially when you have to pay Will Anderson. Yep. Just saying. Just saying. In terms of some Patriots news, Elliot Wolf, reportedly non-committal about Stefan Diggs and Christian Barmore.

Of course, they're in the news for some legal troubles. Stefan Diggs is currently in. a court case in terms of being the fuck out of, allegedly beating the fuck out of his personal chef. And that trial is going on in March. I forget what the exact date for that is. And same thing with Christian Barmore. And that's more or less a domestic case, correct?

Yes. Yes, it is. So not talking legal shit. But, you know, we've kind of had this discussion before. more so with Diggs in the sense of like, you know, the Patriots are in this weird spot right now where, you know,

they finally bring in a wide receiver one. Now, Diggs throughout this entire season for a lot of the bigger games, like the Ravens, the Bills, he showed up, but barely cracked a thousand yards. And,

yeah, he was one of the only guys that was over 500 receiving yards period on the year. And this is the first wide receiver, true wide receiver one that you've had. If we're not counting Edelman, basically since Moss and Brandon Cooks. And Brandon Cooks, yeah. And, you know, and that's been one of the biggest thing, one of the biggest jabs at the Patriots since the turn of the decade. Or even before, even Brady's final year.

Like, they didn't really have a true wide receiver one. That was a huge reason why Brady even left to begin with because his weapons sucked. And now they tried in 2019. They had AB. They had Josh Gordon. But draft and kill Harry, trade for Mohammed Sunu. I mean, that was just a horrible situation. They just got a really shitty roll of the dice, honestly.

Yeah. And now you're in the spot where Diggs puts up 1,000 yards, which is great. But he was also inconsistent as a motherfucker. And now you have these legal troubles coming in. And it's like, shit, we got another wide receiver that can't stay out of trouble. And yeah, he's a diva. But sometimes you like your wide receiver one to be a bit of a diva. There's nothing terrible with that sometimes.

Yeah. Sometimes one way or another. But it's okay to look, in a world of Stefan Diggs is you can't be a Tyreek Hill. I will leave that there. Yeah. but it's like how long can you go with having Stefan because like I said cracked a thousand yards but incredibly inconsistent was almost a no show for the playoffs including the Super Bowl and you essentially not that you had the same thing Christian Barmore um but there's there's

some problems here there's some problems I as a then I don't know. I don't know either. I love these guys. I just, oh, honestly, this might be a hot take. I would be more torn up about losing Barmore, honestly, than I would digs. Because look, I know that you have to get off the wide receiver carousel at some point, but I don't know, maybe take a swing at someone in the draft.

trade for AJ Brown. That's an option. Apparently Pats and the Eagles have been talking about that. That's like, but, but CJ, that's basically the only pat, though, at a wide receiver one is AJ, because they're not going to take another swing in the draft. They have to go out and trade for somebody or go out in free agency. Like there, there's literally no other way for the Patriots at this point, especially with their draft position.

Like, it, you never know. I mean, I'm just saying, like, I think it's more of an option than you think. but yeah, no, like, I get it. I do. I just... I'm saying more of where the Patriots are right now, especially considering that they just made a Super Bowl run, and now they have their expectations,

and they need to somehow live up to it. Yeah, well, I don't know, man. Like I said, if you can keep... If they end up staying out of trouble and nothing happens because of this, I would say keep Barmore digs, at least hasn't out at the end of his deal. And maybe you could argue the Barmore point, is just the sunk cost fallacy,

but him and Williams together is just that's nice. Also, there are a lot of drafts that have the remark drafts to have them taking a defensive tackle in the first round, and I really don't want them to do that. Yeah. I mean, I think I kind of alluded to this after the Super Bowl, too. We had a similar discussion after the Super Bowl,

and it's like, and I guess I'll say it again, you know, it's great that digs. cracked a thousand yards you have these problems and like if you do get rid of them and you don't like that like that's that's the weird thing about where you're going with this is that if you don't get a j brown you don't get a top guy uh in a trade or in the free agency market then you're essentially telling yourself that you're relying on kishan booty or somebody else in that wide receiver room to become the wide receiver one and like sure booty's shown some flashes but like is it wide receiver one material like is that's the thing you got a bunch of twos and

potential high end twos and a bunch of threes on your team and that's what the paths have been dealing with literally since 2020 I would argue before that but yeah before that a lot of cases like I just I don't know as a fan can we please have a real wide receiver one by hook or by crook can we please have like an actual wide receiver one like i don't understand why even like some of the real horrible teams have them but but we don't i just i don't know i would like one please that is all yeah that'd be nice because i don't uh ending our general news with a bit more lighthearted landon dickerson announces he will return for another season to the philadelphia eagles

You know, that's huge for them because, you know, there were a lot of rumors that, you know, just due to his injury history, he was considering retirement. But he is an absolute world beater at guard when he's on the field. So I definitely think Philly's beating a side relief. And he got Lane Johnson coming back for another go-around. So at this point in the draft, I think that's coming up, you can stock up from the future, you know, maybe grab a guard or tackle in the second round. develop them. So by the time, if Dickerson does decide, okay, this might be my last year, or if Lane Johnson does, then you'll be ready.

That's really all there is to it. Yeah. Yeah. And obviously, you know, him staying healthy is going to be big this season because, you know, Nick Seriani's probably on the hot seat once again, just because it's Philadelphia. And you've seen the numbers when there's no Landon Dickerson on that O line. Yeah. Yeah, actually.

They're not good. It's bad. Yeah, you're right. And apparently the future of Nick Siriani hinges per Jason Lock and Forra on the success of Jalen Hertz and new O.C. Sean Manion in 2026. No pressure. No pressure. No pressure at all. All right.

Time for a little macula grid to end the show once again. So for our listeners, we got a eagle and a Viking. a Viking and Akami, a Viking that was a first team APL Pro, a Patriot and an Eagle, a Patriot and a commander, Patriot that was a first team APL Pro. And then a first round draft pick that was AP all pro, first round draft pick for Commander and an Eagle. All right, since we're Pat's fans, you want to knock this out.

Do you want to do, okay, so Pat's Eagles, Jalen Rieger. Yeah. You know, just let, I mean, I know you could go Chris Longer. Legerrat Blunt, but let's have some fun. 3%. Off to a great start. Viking. Oh, we could have done Jaylen Reger for Vikings Eagles, too. Oh, true. Damn it.

But that's probably the most famous one because Jaylen Reger was drafted ahead of Justin Jefferson. Now, right now you can probably go Carson Wentz. Ooh, you're right about that. You're right about that. For Eagles, Vikings. That's too obvious, though, is the problem. But you know what? We're loki on a time crime.

or at least you are, I just got back. So, yeah, I can... Honestly, 21 got bad. All right, a Viking and a commander? What? Was Aldrich Robinson ever on the Vikings? Aldrich Robinson. I'm not sure.

I don't know. I've played a lot of bad, and I'm pretty sure I've seen them there at some point. I don't know. Well, Pat's commie. We'd go Albert Hainsworth. You could. You could go Dietrich Wise.

You could go. Jonathan Jones. No, no, Terrence Knighton didn't actually make the team. Dang it. I thought I was smart, but no, I am not. There was Yeah, yeah, you could. So that, I mean, you could go

Haynesworth, you could go Dietrich-wise, you could go Jonathan Jones. Those are your options. Let's go Jonathan Jones. If I know how to spell his name correctly. 2%. What a ball. By the way, I remember it now. Aldrich Robinson was in fact on the

Vikings. All right. So Aldrich. 0.07. Thank you, Madden. Thank you for that ball knowledge.

Oh, that's good. 0.07. Okay. So we've got all the teams out of there. A Viking who is a first team all pro.

There are some really easy polls here, man. Go Chris Carter, Moss. Do you want to go Chris Carter? Just shake it up a tiny

bit. Wait, he was, right? I don't see why he wouldn't be. Yeah, true. 3%. Sweet. A pat and a first team all pro. Brady's the obvious answer. Gronk's obvious answer. Moss. I think Stefan Gilmore was, if you want to try him.

Yeah. No, Gilmore definitely was. I mean, he was defensive player of the year, so he was 100% of his team. He'd be all pro. 4%. Hey, wow. I'll take it. Look at his go. an eagle who was a first round draft pick uh i mean just looking at present day say quans one um well but

do they have to be drafted by the eagles though is my question ooh ooh that's i think we've been burned on some BS technicality before remember i don't know what it was it wasn't quite like this but yeah so it was the one from like three episodes ago yeah uh I don't know. Brian was, oh, Donovan McNabb was a first round pick. Yeah.

That's like, yeah, there's a lot of ways you could go here, you know, obviously. Yeah, let's just go McNabb. 6%.

36, hey, less than 10, that's still good. Akami, who was a first round pick. Brian Kerrigan. I don't care.

Obviously it is. No, Ryan. R. Ryan. Oh, R-R-R-Y-A-N. go to name

one percent I'm sorry look I'm not even a commander's fan but the right but from an NFL history standpoint the Ryan Carrigan disrespect is evil it is evil

I'd say the fact that we've gotten less than 5% on all these besides two is pretty nice yeah first round draft pick that was a first team AP all pro There's so many You know what

Adrian Peterson, I guess Wait, was Sean Alexander one If you really want to get spicy Was Sean Alexander a first round pick? That's a great question Should we just send it? Send it, yeah, it's the last one Sean Alexander, legend

Bang! Point one percent Yes. Oh, never to anyone who listens, never question my ball knowledge ever again. Oh, 40. We got 40 on the rarity. How about that? And for those of you who don't know at home, the lower your rarity score, the absolute better. And a 40 is elite. This was the most popular ones. I was correct about Jalen Rager. I was correct about that. this is where it really pays to be Pat's fans because imagine pulling out Jaylen Rieger for Eagles Pat's and pulling out Jonathan Jones.

Oh yeah. Dan Daniels was the most obvious. Devanta Smith being the most obvious for the Eagles is interesting, which leads me to believe that we were correct about the about going with an actual eagle because yeah. Obviously, if it, uh, if it's not, not Sequin or A.J. Brown.

Yep. Yep. Payton Manning, 12%. I mean, there's so many first-round draft picks that were first-team all-pros. Do that make sense? Jetta's the most obvious. Kirk Cousins, the most obvious for commies, Vikings. The fact we got none of these is the most obvious really warms my heart. Yeah, facts.

Yeah. How about that? I don't want to glaze myself too much, but like, that shone out. Alexander pull. The only reason I thought of him is because I was like, okay, who was an MVP that people don't think about? Yeah, especially because Sean Alexander fizzled out so quickly afterwards. Yeah, after they gave him that huge deal.

That happens a lot with running backs. I don't think about it. But, you know, I think we did good. I think we did good. I'd say we did pretty damn good on that. That was good. Too bad. Tuck wasn't here for that.

Oh, yeah. That would have been really fun. Yeah. All right, that's all the scheduled content that we have for you today. A quick one here for us.
