"Has matured enough to fix some of their defense's issues if that makes sense. It is such a dominant ball control offense, but it also can be beautiful and field stretching at the right times. But I think that it is the hyperdrive version of what the forty-niners aspire to be, right? With the right quarterback. And I think the way that they're running it now is just ahead of where the Fortnite is running it by virtue of who's behind center. And I think because of that, it will help your defense more than it has in the past. Especially because you're not as worried about the forty-niners coming in and doing what you did, they did to you two years ago, which is just completely pulling your pants down and running you over and then supplementing that with a world beating defense. This is not D'amico Ryan's is a good coordinator. He's brought some excellent pressure. I thought it critical times this year, but that's not this is not the defense that Robert sala had a couple of years ago and they made the Super Bowl. No and look, they're bad at cornerback and nothing hamstrings defense coordinator worse than not being able to trust your cornerbacks at this point. Now Andrew Thomas has played better The Rookie cornerback there and they have not had to put Josh Norman on the field quite as often over the last couple of weeks, but it's still a problematic spot and certainly when you go against Aaron Rodgers, that's not a good place to have a weakness. And if Nick Bosa, who is in concussion protocol as we tape the show, if he misses this game, I don't, I shouldn't say, I don't see a scenario where the forty-niners can win this game. But essentially at that point, you are going to say, okay, well, we have to get a lead, and we have to keep on sort of piling it on. We have to control the clock for 40 minutes if you're the forty-niners at that point. I don't know if that's in the cards for this game. I think it's just, it's not going to be enough if they can't hold the packers under 30 points when it's all said and done. Yeah. And I just think it's, this is the laziest trope that I'm going to make in the history of this podcast, but it's just time. Like I think they have to go to win 13 games each year with Matt Lafleur and then to not be able to advance at some point. I think it's just time. And I think that they needed time in order to get that offense together in order to get all the pieces the way that they want it. And I think that they have things set up so well. I think the one thing that Green Bay does right now better than any other team is understand what they've put on film to this point and how teams are going to react to it. And either beat them that way anyway because of whatever it is, if it's a short passes from Rogers to Devante Adams, that's one thing. But the other thing is to use that and to basically use the defense's tendencies against them to create chunk plays and to create big plays downfield..

"All this stuff is going on. So I don't know. It's just why was this your play? And his rationale, I mean, the forty-niners did call a timeout to shift to the sideline defense. I mean, they had they were just basically like guarding the sideline exclusively, which is what you do during that situation. So you take the chunk plays. But under those scenarios, you would have had to have had a feel for timing on that. How long it takes for all that stuff and everyone's saying too that dak should have slid three yards earlier? Come on. The plate you shouldn't have been called. It's a boy. I mean, in a way it was a fitting ending for a team that just really showed up unprepared for this game. I mean, the pre snap penalties that just piled up as this one went on. Look, I don't want to pull bones fossil into this, because quite frankly, the cowboy special teams is what ended up keeping them in this game that similar play where they got the fake punt first down. They kept the punt unit on the field because they were trying to do some chicanery with the substitution and then did the full offense substitution and all that stuff. And they did not calculate the time correctly. And they ended up getting a delay of game and everyone's getting on the officials for holding up the staff. You substituted. So now the snap gets held up and the forty-niners are not obligated to Russian panic and get their guys on the field. They did the I mean they basically just beat the cowboys at their own game and got a free 5 yards out of it. I'm curious if you notice too. I was watching the sideline and so fossil calls the fake putt. And then he goes bananas. Like he's so excited that they hit this thing. And he's like, he's like James Brown, like in the 60s. He's just like shaking on the sideline. He's so excited. And then they decide to do whatever this thing is where they keep the putter out and he's just like meandering about kind of like pretending to be the quarterback not pretending to be the quarterback. Mike McCarthy looks over at him. And then fossil is going, no, no. Keep them out there. It's going to work. He said something to that degree. And then Mike McCarthy is just like, okay, but it's like, dude, you're the head coach. You get to decide what you do. Like, the special team's coordinator isn't in charge of the team. You are. And you can just be like, let's cut the shit out and pull these guys off the field. Oh, bones, fossils. You know, whatever. I like bones though. I'm a big bone guy. The fake punt was one of the key players for them. I mean, look, Brian anger was basically their player of the game in this one. I mean, he was bombing puns the entire game. The only thing that went right in this game for the cowboys was a special team. So, but yeah, I don't know. That was a little bit of oh boy. Thank you you're hot of the blackjack table and sort of getting out of control a little bit there. Take the fake punt, get your offense back on the field and start trying to move the ball mostly unsuccessfully again. And look, I don't really know if the cowboys stay in this one if Nick Bosa doesn't go out with a concussion as well because their offensive line got overwhelmed..

"So which is it? Because we've heard both from them. And again, I think different philosophies for different situations, I think this is a best 5 situation. I would I'm not worried about moving pieces because again, Trent's played on that left side. When it was played right tackle, to me, it's put the best 5 out there and see what you can do. So that's what I would go with, but it is interesting because we've heard both philosophies from them over the last few years. Yeah, I think the difference in philosophy is pretty much just the situation and when it is in the season. When you play Houston in week 5, it's a lot of, you know, a bunch of guys are out due to COVID in that game. It's a much different situation than when it's a one and done. You will lose or you're going home, right? You win or go home. Much different. So I don't know. I'm with you. I would love to see a Brown at left and on when you're at right. I think they probably go with her on and maybe they change it up. Midway through the game if it's an absolute problem. The one thing I will say about this buffalo pass rush, they got some they got some very depth. They got some good players on their front. I'm not saying it's a bad front, but it's not like they're gonna line up miles Garrett over Justin her on in this game, right? They have a Greg Rus a good player, Hughes is a good player, certainly Mario Addison's a good player. But those guys are it's not Nick Bosa, coming off the left side. It's not Garrett. It's not Aaron Donald that over a guard that's a backup, right? You know, it's a much different situation than that. So I don't necessarily think that they have one dominant rusher that makes me lose sleep at night. Like, oh, how are they gonna block this guy, right? I don't think it's definitely I don't think it's quite there yet for buffalo. Maybe Aaron in the Chad said a guy like at Oliver, but it's all of her gonna go play 5 technique, like is he gonna go out over the tackle and rush from out there? Because if he is, I actually think that that's fine with me. Honestly, right? Let Oliver go out there because Mack will just get the ball out quickly and it won't be as much of a problem. I'm more worried about Oliver, putting pressure on him up the middle. Then we're coming off the edge. And in the context of this, right? We're talking about moving tackles. The Patriots interior offensive line has been great all year. Yeah. So, you know, at Oliver in this context, right? You're talking about that elite edge rusher who's going to stress a backup. That's what you're talking about. Is the bill stressing a backup. That's not going to happen in the interior. So I wouldn't necessarily, not to say that Oliver is not a good player. He is. I just don't think he fits in the context of this conversation..

"About a team in ohio state. They gave a five hundred and five yards sacked. If the brown oregon's starting quarterback that i mentioned before zero times thirty five passing attempts and brown rushed ten times for sixty five yards. Seventeen to thirty five or two hundred thirty six yards two touchdowns and oregon average more than seven yard per carry and ran for two hundred and sixty nine flipping yards. Threw the ball thirty five times ran the ball thirty eight times. You compare that with the balance or lack of balance that between the run game pass game of ohio state where cj style. A red shirt freshman starting second game through the ball fifty four times in ohio state or we ran the ball thirty one times averaging only four yards per carry. I'm telling you man. I'm telling you you can't put the how much blamed. You can put the blame. The blame game goes around for ohio state. So this is not to say the only reason why that michigan. Let's give me that del. Ohio state lost get because of their defense played a big role. But it wasn't the only reason why i thought overall he played well but again s- crowd started off a little bit inconsistent in a little. Bit sketchy for ohio. State the run game never got going like i thought it should in that an indictment on the offensive line. What thought was fantastic. The week before against Minnesota but that run defense for ohio state again after ever after mohammed opera hyun for minnesota ran for one hundred sixty three yards and thirty carries three quarters before being injured or i'll be speaking about ohio. State may be an own too but albert ran for one hundred sixty three yards and three quarters well. Cj for the week after that ran for one hundred and sixty one yards thirty. Four yards receiving scored three touchdowns rent for a seventy seven yard. Touchdown run so this is this is a situation. And how many times have i was watching that game. Because i see anthony brown go back look look look look i. Receiver wasn't open second. Second receiver wasn't open third. Receiver wasn't open. He was still wide open in terms of having a clean pocket to go through progressions especially on third down and out fine a guide to well complete pass to joey. Bosa nick bosa chase young. The next great pass rusher for ohio state. At least for this season hasn't been found yet and it was evident not only against minnesota but also even more so against oregon now luckily for ohio state in the big ten that they're not playing any type but dynamic offenses in terms of quarterbacks are concerned but still this run game lord. The lack of run defense at ohio state showed very alarming extremely alarming so an offense will go hi allstate finish was six hundred and twelve total yours. Okay but then again you take a look at that. Four hundred and eighty four yards on fifty four pass attempts for stroud discrepancy in the past run ratio was something that should be concerning. Ohio state was only five on fourth downs and folly failing to score on consecutive fort down drives. So there's some things going on here with ohio state. That definitely need to be fixed now. The good part. Is that the talented there. So this should be situation. Where of ohio state should be. This putrid on defense especially when it comes to run defense. But then again if you're pessimists if you don't like ohio state if you're a glass half empty guy you take a look and you say well wait a minute. Weren't they saying this year after year. After year with oklahoma when oklahoma's defense negated lincoln riley and that offense from being a true championship contender now over a period of time. Two or three years..

I mean to get canned after you know, at this point in the season after a dramatic loss like that, I mean, he came into the year on the hot seat. And then it got sizzling with with the Stanford upset, but Man that shows you how SC feels about itself and how they felt about helping coming in and everybody kind of knew. Even people that were backing him were like, Wow, you know? Do you like him? You know when they when he would win, they'd be like kind of grudgingly like him when they every time as he loses a major game. It's like that guy has got to go.

"Week. Yeah but they couldn't do anything against the eagles hargrave every year when the eagles are good defense they've been a good defense stylized yup The steelers were another smell tests. Pick They won twenty three. Sixteen outright at buffalo You know the the the guy that i think has a chance to end up being the offensive. Rookie ears nudge. a harris. He did not have a big day but they blocked a punt and scored in their defense was nasty and t. j. watt who just signed the biggest contract for defensive player in nfl history had two sacks in the opener. And this is where an and a forced fumble. This is where we just need to understand. We all think chase young is really talented. You know in montana sweat too but the chase young could be you know at an all time. Great kind of a player. It's fine that we think that. And he's only in his second year and there's plenty of time here but t. J. watt is a dominant player. Joey bosa right now is a dominant player. They took games over yesterday. And so our guy. Jones five sec. We'll get to that our guy dominant play our guy in his last. Two games hasn't gotten one in the playoff game that we're his defense allowed five hundred yards and yesterday where they got dominated to the tune of fourteen of eighteen on third down those are dominant pass rushers in the league myles garrett is it dominant. Pass rusher in this league right now. Joey bosa would it. Nick bosa doing the game yesterday. back healthy. I didn't even look to see what what he did. in this game But watch the lions cover late. But we'll give a bosa. Had a sack into quarterback hits so you know we we too many of of our fans watch our games and they don't watch the league right now. Chase young has extraordinary potential. And he's a good player and he had a very good year last year. He's not an elite player yet. Not yet the players. I just mentioned are elite right now. Chandler jones had five sacks for the arizona cardinals as they sacked ryan tannehill six times and they blew out tennessee with cuyler murray accounting for five touchdowns in the game man this division every one of the nfc west teams one in week one. What a division. that division is going to be the. Afc west is going to be. And i think the nfc south is is better than people. Think too but The cardinals man they. I don't know i. I picked him to finish last. I like the other three teams more. But i it's that divisions of a total coin flip any one of the four could win it at a high level where any one of four in the nfc east. I think could win it but not as high of a level. Any thoughts on the cards. Titans titans.

"A glenn. She can give us a five to ten percent improvement over last year. I think that's enough. I think that's an odd comfortable giving atop ten fifty right tackle but if yes if you could tell me might be blessed you can improve ten percent and stay at that level. We'll give him a second contract and just saying hey the line overall think what as much as we bitch about the line in this now. All of last season was ninety. Nine in the league. It was it was it was not so think about that bitch. About how many sacks he give up the center of the line was horrible. You know everything. They were still a top ten line. It's just. I imagine being someone who you know. Sixteen seventeen twenty. Look at the model of complaining and bitching and moaning that we spent on a top. Ken line there still existed with everything that happened. Look for the only started. It wasn't graded top ten. Yell great last year was killed. Does the other four of our starters were were ranked top ten players if beth last year and so i think that in a team that's going to have to pay nick bosa is going to have to pay Brennan who is paying. George kittle will have to pay fred warner that will have to obviously not number one linebacker money. But we're probably have to pay jerry. Greenlaw drink get maybe two three. You're deal you can't have the best to every position and so overall on our. I think our last our last thought an alarm is okay with having the night. Raided offense I if we can have the from sex to ten rated offensive line in the league. I think that's why. I think you can win a championship with that. Especially if you tell me is the number one number. Two run great rushing numbers. I'm good yeah the we're in the super bowl because i'm sorry writing off Believe that if we run the football like we did throughout the playoffs while she's out i think that's not even close and so i think it's i'm thinking big things from my mcglinchey adjacent last thoughts on the ally before we go ahead and write this down It's definitely better than it was last year in my opinion. And that's the a lot. Because again like i said as much as we harped on the offensive line. It actually. wasn't that bad. You know those times of the office of lying completely dominated is it happened to be. When when they gave a bad place they gave up bad place. There was times ram we completely dominated. The rams was aaron donald aaron. Donald dominates everybody. We have backups. Dominating all so yeah. And that's you know with the scheme that we run. Obviously we can scheming. They're donald ninety telling me we're going to get better offensive linemen and hopefully healthier environment with the same scheme. That's already dominating stuff like that. I'm not. I'm actually very excited for this offensive line because i honestly think it's going to be a top five overall line with the way things are rolling out.

"But no, they like They will, um Which you know, whatever. I'm just, you know, I'm just trying to go through the position here. Um It's tough because there's a lot of safeties. Um So Maybe we could be freed from our Marcel Harris. Hell, that's that's what I was thinking. Maybe, like veteran Tavon Wilson beat him out. But, you know, we thought that would happen. Like last year, Um, with the guy who I can't remember his name and didn't play it all. So you know, it shows that we Um, who who Surprise you. What? When you went out to O t a s, and you're looking around, and I mean my guys already Jimmy. He looked like he was slinging. It looked pretty darn good. I liked what I saw from Lansing and rookie minicamp. Anybody surprised you would all just kind of laying eyes on him for the first time in a minute? E was sort of surprised. Um, you know, Elijah Mitchell had a lot of distance the receiver again like we We've got such limited reps. But I really really liked the way he had out of the backfield. Um He's gonna beat somebody on a wheel route, and it's going to be embarrassing this year. Um, like if you get him, and it's sort of the Kyle you struck thing where he sort of sneaks to the side and then goes down the sideline. And then there's just like a pocket of space and he gets wide open into Mitchell's going to get that sort of play, and it's going to be really embarrassing for probably a linebacker who shouldn't be covering him. He sums Use incredibly fast, and he's so he's not his tiny on DSA. Oh, he's tough to tackle to, um, we're sort of like, you know, one of those like politico. What is it machines where it sort of bounces around. Sort of like that, from the price is right tackle him and he's going to be really fun to watch. Um, you know, soon he stays healthy because running back is a horrible position where you just get injured all the time. I have no idea why animal we're gonna play it like a legitimately at this point, like you're never gonna get paid. I mean, I guess you get paid millions of dollars, but never like tens of millions of dollars. Unless unless you play for the Dallas Cowboys. You know, like the way that they've done, where he moster is pretty much how every team should be treating their running backs and that is to do them dirty at all points, just what it is. There might be a conversation we had about. Most are not making the team but is that is that way too far out because they do have if sermon looks really good, right? Yeah, like they're going to get rid of most of it at the end of the year anyway, maybe they get out ahead of it. It's not out of the realm of possibility. Um, and if they get really desperate need to create money for Julio Jones, and they really don't want to touch Armstead, and they really don't want to touch Ward. Um There's there's definitely are out there, but he's still so damn good when he's healthy, like it's It's something where he paints three million And he is like what he showed in 2019. I don't. I think it's just irresponsible to cut him. Um, but it's not out of the round the possibility, especially if he picks up an injury in camp or something. Here like this is just gonna be a thing all your long. We've got a deeper running back room. Maybe Wilson is coming back quicker than expected. Um, I don't I really don't think that happens, but it's you can't rule it out. Are you feeling about the defensive line? Obviously, that is where this team's identity has lied for years now, and we have a new defensive coordinator here in Santa Claire and S O. Maybe things have changed in the depth without Nick Bosa there. It doesn't feel a strong as one would inherently believe you don't have Nick Bo say he's still in Florida. How do you feel about just kind of the Overall rotation that could be happening there on the defensive line going into a season where they're expecting to win, and if they're gonna win, they need to be able to get to the quarterback. I like it. I think it's pretty deep. I mean, you could make an argument. They could add another defensive end. Um, but I think it's fairly good rotation. You know Eric Armstead. That is best when you know there are other people on the line doing things which you know is maybe a reason why you're like, Why did we pay him $21 million a year but pointed dream on Green scenario. Right. He's not going to be as bad as he was last year. I just think there that was, you know, I was talking to a couple of players the other day, and it's like you really like, kind of forget. Weird and just awful. Last season was like this room, a mental health perspective. They had to go to Arizona on short notice. They were literally living in their hotel rooms, not like able to leave for anything other than playing football. And then they sucked. Oh, you know, that's that's hard. That's hard to know. You're right, man. That that is a good way. It is incredible. I will maintain. I think that as more time as we get fully out of this bad boy, we don't have to wear a mask and anything is kind of ridiculous. We think back on Oh, that weird time. And the world was on fire, like will be like. Damn. How did that team not completely rupture? I mean, they kept playing hard and they had, like, five weeks with nothing going on. They really did on DSA. I got off on attention. You're asking my defensive and it's a good chance that I appreciated them. Right it is. It's just a really rough season last year, so I am willing to like that. A guy like arms It's and flack is. He was one of the few guys that's that's stayed healthy and you're just sort of plane. Do you think he got a chance? But you know, deep down that it's over pretty early. Ondo. So I do like their deaths this year..

"After Julio Jones picks up his phone on undisputed on Fox words. Shannon Sharpe gives him a call and it can't It raises the question of like, people were all over this on Twitter yesterday. Should you be letting, like, Should Shannon Sharpe of let Julio Jones? Oh, hey, By the way, you're on the air right here because it didn't appear that way at all. We just call them, he answered, and they were like, Oh, my God, he answered. Shannon Sharpe. Just asking the question. Maybe Shannon assumed Julio would know. Hey. You're on TV at this time, but that I mean, that's not who he was responsibility. It's like when you're in a car with somebody. You gotta let him know. Hey, you're on speaker phone before you just are blabbing. Whatever it is, you've got a blab. It keeps you safe. Keeps a person on the other line safe. Don't hurt anybody's feelings in the car, but also now Julio Jones, and maybe he didn't care. Maybe he's like, Yeah, This is fine that this came out. I already went to management. I lent to Phil in it or to keep saying Philly. Great Me, right? Went to Atlanta and told him I need to be moved on. It's gotta happen this offseason. So 40 Niner fans, of course. Wondering based on call CNN comments from a couple of years ago that quote if a Julio Jones becomes available, you've got to be in on that. I think we've I think we've come to understand and when totally aligned with the fact that John Lynch and Kyle will pick up the phone about just about any player, whether or not they land him with enough that the offer is right. If the deal is right of the maneuvering for it is right. They are in on going after top talent. We know about this even from the climactic remember Jon Gruden basically saying, Hey, I I took the draft picks. I took thinking that Maybe Chicago would end up is the worst team and we get a better draft pick. The 40. Niners were better built to succeed in the Niners, of course, went out and lost Jimmy G that year and ended up with another topic and they get nicked Boston So you could have been boasting. Could've been Khalil Mack. What they end up with Nick Post Anyway, They're picking up the phone on draft day. They're maneuvering. They're making moves. They obviously move up to get trey lands. They have been active and aggressive. So the question is, If you're going to make a trade for Julio Jones, what is it gonna cost you and the teams that it's looking like would have the most interest. Our contenders. Obviously, the ones that are out there. If you consider the Patriots, a contender, Bill Belichick certainly does. But they're looking at him potentially. Or the Patriots is AH landing spot. Would you give up a Sony Michelle in a second rounder? Or maybe a couple of second rounders? I'm not sure the past would do to second rounders. For Julio, unless Atlanta took on some of his contract He's owed 15.3 million this year for the 40 Niners. They're seeing potentially it would be like a second rounder next year in 2022, Maybe a third rounder in 2023. They've got a couple of them. But the bigger issue for the 40 Niners is making room here on the salary cap. 15.3 million. The 40 Niners have about 11 million. David Lombardi of the athletic will join Murph in back later this morning. Had a good Good article yesterday and a couple of days ago, put out a tweet where it was, like, sort of a spreadsheet where you could interact with it and maneuver the salary cap. However, it was you saw fit. Do whatever you thought you needed to do to get Julio Jones onto the roster. So how they maneuver that remains to be seen? It also gets really, really, Harry, if you talk about trying to, uh Given extension to Fred Warner after this year. Who would be expensive? You're gonna have to deal with Nick Bosa in the coming years as well. Which could be really, really, really expensive on. I think they'd like to have five million just for 5 to 7 million. Around September for injury Take right. We've seen this over the last couple years. Guys go down. You need to make sightings. You need to maneuver the roster and manipulated just a little bit. You don't want to get painted into a corner with no leeway when it gets into the regular season, So we'll see what happens with the Julio Jones situation. But I mean, we're we're a week away from this thing going down Per Adam Schefter, how much you listen to Adam Schefter. Is up to you right? Because he was the one telling us first and foremost, it was Mac Jones. It's absolutely Matt Jones, Kyle and John want Matt Jones. That's their God. And maybe at some point he was their dead. Then maybe Trey lands blew him away or he was never there guy and it was a smokescreen. Bottom line is he's right about a lot of stuff. Adam Schefter even turned around member on draft day and told us Aaron Rodgers wants out of Green Bay and everybody said, Well, why did you wait till drafted to tell us that Well, I felt like it was an accumulation of enough things going down that it was time to report that Aaron Rodgers wants out. Fact is Aaron Rodgers is upset. He doesn't like the way that they've handled things in Green Bay. But he didn't make it clear yesterday with Kenny Mayne on ESPN. Kenny made Final day on ESPN. Every Roger stops by to to do another interview with his buddy. We're not close. They are they've had What a funny moments of the last couple of years last few years, releasing Sarah Rogers has been the starter in Green Bay anyway. Aaron Rodgers pretty simply breaks it down for him like it has nothing to do with Jordan Love the person so not how they went about drafting a quarterback behind him. And don't forget he saw this go down first hand when he was George Love when he got drafted behind Brett Farve and Brett Farve was kind of told him, man. Time to retire before Brett Farve was ready. Aaron Rodgers was not ready either went on back to back NFC Championships and won an M V P. I'll be it losing both of those games. Here's Aaron Rodgers, with Kenny Mayne, saying It's not about Jordan Love. It's about the organizational philosophy. It's never been about. Never mind about the draft. Big bacon, Jordan. I loved Jordan. He's a great kid. A lot of fun to work together. But love coaching staff loved my teammates. You know, I love the fan base and Green Bay is incredible, Incredible 16 years. It's just kind of about a world philosophy, you know, and maybe forgetting that it is about the people that make the thing go. It's about. It's about character. It's about culture. It's about Doing things the right way. Yeah. What's funny is he didn't have the problem when? When he was the guy, right? What He was the one that was that was drafted behind it. It's not much different than what the last regime did..

"Dan Dan. It's today Got Albert Breer Monday morning quarterback coming up in a couple of minutes. He's got a bid on Carson Wentz what he thinks the Eagles need to do right away. But another story, Doug the kind of crap Up this weekend in the hay. Oh, by the way, category. You and I were on the air Friday when, when Trevor Laurence had his big Pro day and he was as advertised through a couple of deep balls that looked phenomenal, and then we find out over the weekend. Yeah, I'm going to have that surgery on my left shoulder, not his throwing shoulder his left shoulder. And recovery time is 5 to 6 months. So now suddenly it's oh, not that it's going to stop the Jaguars from taking him. But what kind of rookie season? Is he gonna have? Five and six months could be a little bit longer. You're getting into the end of August beginning of September. I wonder, you know what kind of rookie year could Trevor Laurence have? Because this is a pretty big deal. You don't just drop. Oh, by the way, Hey five or six month recovery period. That's a pretty big deal. Now it is his non throwing shoulder right. This is very important to point out. But what happens when you can't use your non throwing shoulder is you can't bend. There's lots of things you can't do. Um, you can do the mental reps. You can't go into all the meetings. I do wonder how much he can throw, considering he's not using his is off arm. I don't know enough. Like when, in that 5 to 6 month recovery Can he start throwing Because you do use not just your hips, but you're all farm in terms of your movement. Um The other part to it, though, is I think this is a They're playing the long game. Not too short game in Jacksonville, like I don't think their intention was to be super hyper competitive. Season one and Good. One of the unspoken parts of what allowed the Francisco 49 hours to reach the Super Bowl a year ago was that Jimmy Garoppolo got hurt two years ago where, three years ago whatever it was Because that then the season and you know, crumbling up and they end up getting, uh, the second pick in the draft, which became Nick Bosa, who was the best player in Super Bowl. Up until you know a pup until Tyree kill broke loose, And, you know, then they got Debo Samuel the start of the second round as well so again, and it doesn't mean they necessarily tank but there could be reasonable expectations of season one and allow them to have a slow build, if you don't start him right away. Yeah, it's for me. I look at it as look at you. You can try to dress up all the controversy. Oh, it's Urban Meyer really know he's going to take Trevor Laurence number one. But what kind of rookie season is gonna be you? You want it to be a season? Where? Okay. If you're not going to compete, you want Trevor Laurence to be able to learn everything he needs to is a rookie. So we can it year to running and this is when now we're going to start making leaps. And, you know, I honestly think they're going to be in the Super Bowl the next in the next five years. They're gonna be there They have. They will take a huge jump because of Trevor Laurence. But now it's a rookie season. Where how much is he even gonna play and, you know, are you going to hold him out even longer? Let's just say he doesn't get the clean Bill of health until the beginning of September. Well, then he's missed the entire preseason and then, all right. He's not going to start to start the season. But then there's going to be a huge rush to get him in because he's the number one overall pick. He's going to start without a lot of reps. And then it's gonna be a rocky rookie season where you're coming out of it, and you're looking back saying Boy. I wish he had a different rookie season. I wish we were able to have a year where he took his lumps. He understood the game. He had a good year. But then we can get two year too. It's it's almost like you're one. You have to think that this could just be a lost season for him because you don't know how he's going to develop. Not clearly. Look, He's that kind of talented. He could show up. We wanna go. Yeah, I'm good. No training camp and throw four touchdowns week one. But this five or six months rehabilitation you talked about the things you can't do is I'm already thinking, Okay, this this season's going to be whatever it's going to be for the Jaguars and a lot of the excitement that's there. You have to, you know, kind of put a pin in it and go well. We may not see this guy in the field now until September. And remember, you know, many of these quarterbacks come out and the first year is not not a good one. I mean, Troy Aikman's obviously the most famous. But you kind of go through the kind of the living dead like Peyton Manning was terrible his first year as well. So it's you know, it's it's not. It doesn't mean your career is gonna be a disaster. If you have a shortened Khyber even disappointing first year Um So, yeah, but like, Look, it's it's interesting. It's something that's like now he through and through fine with it. You know, at his pro day, so I don't know how much would issue you know it should be. But it is at least interesting to see kind of this timeline, which is A much different timeline than many of us thought it would be Fox Sports Radio Jason Smith, Doug Gottlieb in four. Dan and Dan. It's today. So when you mentioned the Texans and what they have going on a few minutes ago about their situation, a quarterback and obviously to Shawn Watson is a big deal. But we're looking to see where JJ Watt is going to land. And right now there is some kind of interesting him. Look, the guy Three time defensive player of the year. He's a big name, and you know he's hoping for the Hey, can I get one last ride? You know, can I Can I hook up somewhere? Whether it's with my brothers and Pittsburgh or someplace else or Green Bay? Hey, can I get one last ride and maybe we get into the Super Bowl, But I think there's a deeper thing with JJ Watt when it comes to do Shawn Watson and as we continue to talk about the quarterbacks here Is that when you and I talked about this, he was let go in the middle of our show that we did on Friday, and already it was. It was positioned as boy. Did they cut him and we find out that he wanted to be released so we could go pursue a Super Bowl the last couple years. That's big PR that the Texans needed because the last thing I need is more bad optics as they're trying to deal with it to Shawn Watson situation and I think they got a lot back by saying hello. That was a nice thing. They did right. That was that was a big reaction. There's a nice thing they did They let they let JJ Watt go so we can go someplace else. And clearly, look, you know I didn't want to pay in that kind of money for being a guy that's that's not the player he used to be. But sometimes the optic is worth it. And they needed that because right now, with Shawn Watson things they're just to the point where both sides seemed dug in, and I feel like if you really want to bring your quarterback back and have him be part of the team and not have to trade him. You have to be doing things that's going to bring him back and not things that are gonna alienate him like the the sides aren't talking. And they fired the longtime equipment manager that both J. J Watt ended. Shawn Watson, Love and JJ What was very vocal on Twitter and you're firing the guy that we really liked. It's well respected as the Texans Just continue toe clean house here..

Super Bowl LV: How Tom Bradys Bucs Upset The Chiefs
"Bill. It is eleven twenty nine pm eastern and we made it. We have arrived at our final late sunday night session of the nfl season. I think you're showing the appropriate level of enthusiasm. Just watch ill. Barnwell has been our. Nfl oracle through low. These many football weeks you can catch wisdom on the bill. Barnwell show podcast and his monday column on. Espn plus bill. I know i'm washed. I knew that coming in. But tonight i also discovered that i'm like had to close my eyes because the weekend halftime show is making me wash so on top of these horrific super bowl. We ended up getting an. I'm also just the opposite of tom brady. In every sort of genetic sense it turns out. There were so many songs i've heard in uber's or biggest when i was like. Oh that's who does that song. That sucks i. i'm. I'm okay with that songs now. I really learned a lot during the halftime show. Not sure i learned so much during the actual game l. If i mean it just in thinking about what are most notable takeaway or the the moment remember from the super bowl will be years from now it comes down to maybe mccall hardman lining up full yard offsides on a field goal. Try tony romo. Getting very excited about a streaker. In the fourth quarter of lot where he was trying to will the game to be competitive was a a complete and utter dominant victory by the buccaneers and was an upset but the thoroughness of the whole thing and the repetitive nature. What happened from series and series for possession possession. Really just sort of by the end of the game. Everyone knew what the story was because it was really office so it did feel a times bill like we were getting. Tom brady playing his hits. But before we pay our respects at the altar of brady and all of his non washington is. I want to ask how exactly kansas city. Patrick mahomes looked this helpless. Because that's what was shocking to me too twenty seventeen before mahomes was a starter in the league to find a game where the chiefs had been. Shut out of the end zone entirely before tonight. So how did the buccaneers. How defensive coordinator. Todd bowles stopped. One of the most unstoppable offenses. We ever seen it. Was you know sort of a game. Plan out of the nineteen sixties. Winning at the line of scrimmage and dominating upfront and you know. I don't want to exaggerate. Wanted to subscribe to recency bias. But i have to admit i'm not sure i've ever seen an offensive line. Get beaten badly over the course of an entire game as the chiefs were by the buccaneers on sunday. Night me last year in the super bowl we saw nick bosa and the forty niners really dominate the chiefs from most of the first three quarters were on pace to win that game but fourth quarter. Nick bosa got tired. And patrick mahomes turn things around very quickly. The chiefs launched forward scored a bunch of touchdowns and won the super bowl. And this time around. We were sort of waiting for that moment right and it never happens. The buccaneers pressure mahomes on virtually every single meaningful past play. This game often

"They know what they have. They know their strengths and weaknesses. The Chiefs to a very good job. Of putting. This is an old Expression. And they really exemplify it offensively to me. They put players in position to succeed. Now that's going to be challenged in this game. Because their offensive line is so dinged up. And if you can't protect If you can't Yeah, I don't see really. Last last Super Bowl. I give the Chiefs credit. You know they had question marks at running back. They were going up against that vaunted 40 Niners front with Nick Bosa. And Damian Williams stepped up and could have easily been the M V P in the game. So they've surprised me in a big in a big spot before. But I think now even more so than last year I think the difference between the Chiefs offensive line in the Buccaneers front is so pronounced. It is such a massive disadvantage for the Chiefs. That I think it's going to be very difficult to gain plan around that Now, if anybody can do it, I guess I'll see. Andy Reid can If any quarterback and get around it, I guess I'll say Patrick Mahomes skin. But then again, We don't know. With this turf toe situation is with my homes. And if he's gonna get flushed out, and he's going to be forced to move way more than he did the Bills defense The Bills defense. You look at The Chiefs. I've said I called him lucky and people got mad at me. They really if they've not played a good defense in the playoffs yet The bills didn't have a Super Bowl caliber defense. Browns have a Super Bowl caliber defensive player in Miles Skerritt. That's not a that's not a championship caliber D The team's in the A F C playoffs. That could win with defense were Stealers.

"Well, we build and we build and we build all year and we finally get to Super Bowl week and then we have Adam Schefter on and then we're gonna talk about Kirk cousins. Heo just kind of kidding here, Adam. Happy Super Bowl Week. Tol on the human guest line. Apologize for my dogs losing their minds. The exterminators here. How you doing, man? Hey, guys, How you doing? We're good man. It's crazy, right? It's crazy. We're in like quarterback central here. I mean everything. Mahomes Brady. Who cares when we can talk about Jimmy G? All right, Adam. So they fill us in a little bit on when we talked to you last week. You said that Matt Stafford was going to get done real quick. Did you anticipated that quickly? I mean, you predicted by the Super Bowl, and how much did the whole Rams thing you know, play out the way you expected? Or was it a little bit of a surprise? Uh, A little bit, But again, I expected him. I guess I should tell you this spot last week At this time. I thought he betrayed before the Super Bowl. Um You that he picked up a lot of steam last Thursday, Friday Saturday. Move it. Detroit was a rustic Gonna get clarity on that situation, and it did. And I think the, um Situation is that He had an offer from the rest. It couldn't refuse. The Rams were were Obviously looking T o Okla dramatically. And that's you today. Believe that Stafford does that. It's AH, Do you get the sense The Niners feel they missed out or they're like now That's not a price we wanted to pay. Ah! I think it's a situation where basically They might have had two images of the price is probably lost deep, but you know The hard thing in an off season like this is there are so many different quarterbacks. Do you want to take the plunge on the very first one and pay top dollar like Is that what you want to do? I don't know. I don't get along great. What was that? That was a little you got something to tell you about the dogs barking. We got sound popping in. It's a mess here, Adam a doctor in the crate now so you could continue your thoughts Go on about you don't want to pay the first one unless Unless that was the guy they really felt they could afford right? Because the other ones I mean to Shawn's gonna be so expensive. Uh, well. Again. I don't think There's a price that's too expensive to pay for a quarterback like you shot like to me. I would trade anybody for him. Anybody. There be nobody in the Russian that's safe for him. No, but that's finishing point. We brought this up, You know, you know for their fans are so in love with Nick Bosa, this young stud pass rusher. And there's you get divided between two camps. There's the camp that says You can't trade Nick Bozo. He's so young and talented, and then there's the campus is what you says, which is. What are you kidding me? You can get a quarterback like to Shawn Watson. So for you, if you're the Niners just to throw the Niners out there in any other team, A player on the level of a Nick Bosa is movable for a dish on watching in your world. Uh, Houston is not budging again. So, um You know they're not budging right now. We'll see if they have changed their stance about that. Okay, So that's the one you said to us last week is gonna play out for a long time. Would you say Just for the heck of it, like, months down the road kind of thing. With the show wants it and there will be no clarity for weeks weeks. I believe everybody's cool their heels. Chill out. Adam. I believe you gone on record this week to saying ah, Kirk cousins in the 40. Niners is there's there's nothing there, right? Um You know, I Uh, e. Listen, his name keeps coming up right now. Um and It's a situation where I don't know how the Kirk cousins Situation plays out. I I know that there's room. I haven't heard anything about them dealing him, so I'm not gonna take can happen. But there have been a lot of talk about a lot of quarterbacks this offseason. I have not been privy to anything on Kirk wins. Kirk Cousins stay true because it's so we'll see how that goes. Okay, so we'll keep our eyes peeled on that whole deal. And then the Matt Ryan story was the other one that came out this week. Um, I guess Has it been reported that the Falcons have no interest in moving him that he's Stand or what have you heard? But they can't move them. They can move him. I mean the prices to prohibited to move. Uh, Matt Ryan. Right now. It's like a $44 million. Cannot charge so They're stuck with that right right now for this year. So there were scratch that one off the list. Everybody, it just keeps looking. And you know, like this. It looks like for the $40. It's going to be dis Shawn or nobody or my forgetting somebody else out there that You know, I would wouldn't say that. I wouldn't say that. Well, what to Shawn or nobody that there's a lot of quarterbacks out there. Well, like you know who you're talking about. No. Mean, looks look at the list, right?.

"Now they did beat the Rams twice last year. They did get a split against Arizona. And they did wind up losing to Seattle twice, But I mean everything we're saying if Aaron Donald has a Nick Bosa type injury, then then everything I'm saying is on hold or if they lose Jalen Ramsey. They've also lost their D coordinator Brain and Staley. They're going to use Jalen Ramsey in the same way with that star position and move them around and move him in the slot. They, You know they're there would've Stafford gets hurt. I mean, Jimmy got hurt. What if they lose Whitworth? I mean, you know what words retire? There's a lot of things that could happen, but I think right now and I the 40. Niners have not started their off season yet, so I'm not gonna make any negative evaluate. Any of them is far but the Rams and what they did. Tell me where they're weak, and I don't know what else they have to do. Except bring back you know, it's the secondary, which I think they'll find a way to do. I think that we let Leonard Floyd go. I mean, you never know in a pandemic. You know how much money is she gonna get with the economics down? I think they may let him go. Could they bring him back and a shorter term deal? He played? Well, there is some conjecture how well he Place and, you know, forcing the run back inside. I thought he was good at it, actually, but I've heard reports of people didn't like He's obviously great pass rusher. That he played much better. They got him for one year. $10 million approve a deal. We'll see what they do. But I don't know what else they're going to doom or they're still gonna draft and they're gonna be involved. But they're solid and wide receiver room is solid outside and rumors solid. Their offensive line two solid again the way they rebuilt that so fast is impressive. They're running backs. They got a three man committee. They got a quarterback. It can start. John Woolford proved that he's a capable backup now. Maybe didn't play long enough. You know, naked night after his November the first game of 18 against the Raiders, we thought he was the second coming and then you wind up playing more. And you know, you see why you're in the situation You're in and you're in the alliance of American football, But Walford looks like He's a player. Then they got the young linebackers. You know, on the front it Sebastian Joseph Day and Rockers MacDonald. They're They're good if they bring back the panel, and Williams and Johnson Or at least two of those three One corner and keep Johnson I don't know, John. They're dirt have a glaring weakness. Now we the 40. Niners haven't started. Seattle's gonna be Seattle. Arizona's gonna, You know, he's just started the off season, but I don't know what else less need is looking at when he looks at his team. And he doesn't have any draft picks forever. So how is he going to do it? But they're pretty solid. See why I can't see a weakness on the ramp team Right now. Texan is wide open. Give us a thought. Give us your thoughts on the Ford matters. Not getting Stafford on the room's getting staffer on who you'd like to see behind center. By the way, this is it's amazing. He just mentioned the pics. So 2017 they traded that was part of the golf deal in 17, the Pats. They got Brandon cooks and 18. They traded out of the first round of the Falcons in 19. 20 in 21 was for Ramsey to the Jags and 22 23 are both traded the lines and Stafford deal, so they're going to go from 2016 when they drafted golf. To at least 2024 without a first round pick. And remember George Allen of the Redskins used to trade a lot of first round picks. But I don't know if any teams ever gone eight years between first round picks. That's what they're looking at in the history of American sport. And in the end Battat stepping in Cleveland, the brief owner there he was out of his mind. You know, he traded the Lakers James Worthy the first pick in the draft. When they were the defending champion. So they put the Stepien rule in showing almost put. I don't know. If it's the less need rule, because he was there, which have Fisher before McVeigh came on, or Stand cranky rule. I think a little bit is just l, a the owners of a zillionaire and he's impetuous. And you just don't mean any other franchise would not just throw away first round draft picks like this, but A mistake. I mean, you could justify doing it for Ramsey and I remember you and I criticize the hell out of them for giving up to one's for Ramsey, and I'm not sure I'd even do that. To be honest with you, but they did it. But the real heir they made add up all the draft capital They have essentially burned. And the whole Jared Goff is in L. A Ram for five years. Deal what they what they did to trade up from 15 overall to number one overall to get him. And then what they had to include to dump him after if they were never in the Jared Goff business. How many of those draft picks were they still have? No. Exactly. It's crazy. Yeah, it is. It is crazy. By the way, I'm reading a story on a guest when McVeigh called golf very icy that, according to Mike Sweeney told me got traded Very icy, he said. Kind of like golf, Snow driveway. Ellen Parker, Grosse Pointe, How'd you get a deal? It is his father's probably has less if there was any way Jerry doesn't like because I was always critical of Jared Goff. But Guy grew up in Marin went to Cal and played in L. A. He have any advice about Detroit for him, too? Yeah. You know what It's like to be in that kind of weather. I mean, you just You have to embrace it. You have to make friends with it. You can't fight it, cause it goes on forever. You'll get snow until April there and you just gotta Hey, layer up.

Certainly what is going on in Cleveland, and he got iced right away there with the flying J. Jimmy has limb and also Kansas City's roster. Beach to a lot of great things getting the homes but a lot of the people on the chief's roster that air dominating right now John Dorsey drafted there, so I don't know what his role is there, but we'll get into it. But in any circumstance, John, I wholeheartedly disagree with you. I'm not trading Nick Bosa. Otherwise I'm gonna go out and get another Nick both. So where do I get a neck? Bosa Quarterbacks. You got to be on the market to some degree artist. Hang with Garoppolo went on to a damn thing. I'm not trading Nick Bosa. I'm not trading Fred Warner, and I'm not trading George Kettle. They are nonstarters. For May. I'd give up more draft picks. I would you. No, It's not like the NBA with salaries have to match you don't have to do that. I'm not giving up any of those three. Anybody else on the roster we can engage in conversation with unless I signed Trent Williams back then I'm not trading him either. But anybody else besides those three and that those three to me or completely untouchable? I'm not trading that. The only reason I said it is because how many times I can't really think of it. Can you get a quarterback of the age of 25? As good as he is, He's your quarterback for the next 10 years. You don't have to worry about the position and he is hate the word, but we use it all the time. He is elite. He is one of the top five quarterbacks in this game. And he can run it. He can throw it. He can win a shoot out for you for the top five most efficient offense is where the final four You gotta score points. I love Nick BOS I love Fred Warner. But if I give up one of those guys, I think I can find a linebacker easier than the Sean John Watson. I think I can find a pass rusher and he's elite elite elite elite. He might be a Hall of Famer. But the Sean Watson's a Hall of Famer the most important position you can have. I don't agree with that. I think George Kettles a better football player than to Shawn, Watch the Knick. Bos is a better football player. That is Shawn Watson. Fred Warner's a better football player than short. If you weigh the position, you think that I understand what you're saying, but I'm not gonna do it some other way. And you mentioned you know young quarterbacks. They don't become available because you have a franchise tag on the franchise tag. Really. What it was put in for was to protect Pat Bowlen, which John Elway it's called The John Elway will really On to your point. This scenario came up with L Davis years ago, and it always bring up You know, I got job, Rose. L wouldn't give me Elway. You know when Elway pulled the power play With the Earth's A's and where they babies still in Baltimore, then they're involved. It was a long time our calls, and they got Christian in a state of the art left tackle and some of the draft picks, But Elway so I was in that train. Oh, John Elway is a raider. You know much what? He loved that and he brought it up. I could have had Elway could handle way. Hit the documentary, Right. Welcome into something he never mentioned to me ever ever was that Holly long had to go on the trade. And he had never brought that up. But the way it was presented by some agents that were involved in an Elway's agent. Is that al wouldn't trade Howie Long and I could see were now going back on it Should he have Maybe. Maybe not. Elway didn't went to late in his career. How he was ah, centerpiece of a great defense that one of the championship right away, So maybe that's debatable. But you just You can't do it. It breaks your heart and I would put Bosa In that same category. You know, maybe time would say you could should have done that. I would not do that. I don't think of the same team. You no longer have the gold rush. He's a guy you drafted number two. Overall, You developed him. I don't care that he's sorry He's going to come back. They come back off a CL so I just wouldn't do it. I go get somebody else. And right now I'm gonna love watching is gonna be available. You know, Matthew Stafford's the guy. We'll talk to the day Burkett from the Detroit Free Press about you know what you have to give up to get him, But I I don't agree with that. I would not trade Bosa. I would not Trade Warner. I would not trade Kittle. It does not mean you can't put a package together to get watching. Other teams will probably give up more. You get him? I just would not trade any of those of even if you did it. You know what if he did it straight up? No, that we could have a discussion. If I don't have to give you three extra draft picks or two extra draft picks, it would not be Bosa. The other one's possibly if that's it. If it's just a one on one trade player for player, I still would be reluctant to do that. I don't know, you know, but they're not gonna do that. They're gonna wind up getting a lot more in return than just a player for player trade. All right. Like you said, We'll talk about the Matthew Stafford situation that could be realistic. David Birkett from the free Press. In Detroit. As you said, he's written a list about it, and we'll get the inside on why they came to a mutual decision to trade Matthew Stafford the offseason we'll do it next. Only here on the SportsCenter..

"nick bosa" Discussed on ESPN Chicago 1000 - WMVP
"And trade value. Are we talking? Ah, 12131 like what would you be given up to get him? Sure, Frank appreciate the phone. Call him and for what it's worth and Brian. I'm sure you've seen and we talked about it a little bit. When Jesse was on for the first two hours of the show, Mike Sando of the athletic wrote up a handful. Five. In fact, kind of Perspective trades. He's aren't necessarily things. He's reporting that teams would give up for this Shawn Watson, but to make sense, then his right eye ball in some stuff as it were. He's got one where Watson goes to the Jets. The Jets get dish on Watson and Randall Cobb. The Texans get Sam Donald To first and a handful of other picks a 3rd and 1/4 in 2022 2023. 3 firsts, in fact, from the Jets in that 12 firsts in a mock trade with the Dolphins, plus two attack of Iowa. Two firsts in a trade with the Falcons and no players going back there to first from the Lions on Ben something that Stanford right and Matt Stafford absolutely true. And then this one to the Niners is a really interesting one for me, because I I love that coaching staff over there. I wouldn't adore what they what they're capable of doing, and the innovation they like to play with. Look was where he did it with two and they had to do it on the road, even their home games. I'm looking You wanna talk about adversity and getting through a pandemic and Overcoming obstacles and boy Kyle Shanahan and that staff Oh, my, what a job they did. There's so much fun, and that defense played pretty well. Even without Nick Bosa and half and having Given forest DeForest Buckner to the Colts. I mean, they still played fairly well, Despite all of the injuries and all of the covert problems, they had this trade from Sando of the athletic The Niners get to Shawn Watson. The Texans get Jimmy Garoppolo and Nick Bosa, who I assume would want to be healthy 2021 1st and a 2022 seconds that could go up given. You know escalators in Watson's play, I assume The money attached to Watson. It's you know, it's a hefty dollars, right? It's 2021 price tag of 10. It's a 2022 of 35. 2 23 of 20. I mean, he's a big big dollars. And you know Brown. We see quarterbacks with big price tags Advance and Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, who will have a very large price tag. But We see roster building work in the NFL wher that quarterback on his rookie deal. Allows a GM to go all sorts of crazy guys like Khalil Mack or Robert Quinn or other things, even Alan Robinson to a certain point. And I can't help but think that if if I had my just riffle Ricana word if I had my druthers Try and build a team that way with the rookie quarterback that I really like and can and can supplement the roster around. Shoot if you got the Shawn Watson out there yet Franchise definer, but you have well and here's the problem. You didn't have the rookie quarterback contract you have the quarterback. You could have made hay with Mr Biscuit, And we can argue all day whether you know the midst Robiskie Fan Club will say that that Maggie did him no favors and actually Hindered his development. Be that as it may he looks like he is tail lights from here. He's out of here and probably happy to be so. So you don't have a quarterback to give back to the Texans. You're drafting 20th overall this year, so you finally paid off the debt on the cool Mac draft picks. And you have limited resource is with which to engineer deal Now it was saying well. Texans don't want to trade doing a C team. So maybe the Bears can hopscotch a few teams. They're gonna take the best deal. I mean, I know what they're they their wish would be not to see him in the FC. What if the best deal or deals that are on the table are from the Jets or whomever. Miami. They're going, They're going to take that. That's a franchise changing. Deal so you can't sit there and say, Well, I just wanted my conference. You have to take the best deal. It's on the table. No matter Yeah. And if your if your necklace area was just coming over there to be the GM for the Texans after, you know, apprenticeship under Bill Belichick, right? You. I kind of of the belief, Brian. I don't know where you sit on this. That Sincerity will probably goes into that Texan situation. Understanding that things aren't great between two Shawn Watson and management if he doesn't know that, you know, he's right. If I knew it, you know, a year ago, and you knew it then. Then I would imagine that Nick probably had a heads up on his way into the facility's on Unterberg you morning, right? So you can't let yourself be handcuffed by well, We got to see the Jets next year. We just can't have not to hell with that. You take the draft picks, you take their offsetting cap. You know, hit whatever Whatever contract it is that you want. I don't know if I'm Don't know if I'm really interested in Sam. Donald. If I'm the Texans, and I'm trying to build, I guess if I just need a warm body for whomever I'm taking in the first year, So yeah, I guess I suppose you could do that..

"nick bosa" Discussed on KNBR The Sports Leader
"Had a great time with him all through the season with the free and the postgame through this strange 2020. And at the end 2021 season is the 40 Anders have done and we want to get his Final thoughts on everything that went down. But Dennis, what we're talking about is we're talking about building a team. And obviously Nick bows to be in the second overall pick last year and what the 40 Niners missed out on by obviously missing him most of the year because he had the game. Speaking of two in the second game of the year against the Jets. Yeah. Big loss. Um, you know that defensive line we saw last visit, and 40. Niners have not been bashful about spending money on the defensive line, I think last year It paid off in what you had a front was a dominating force on Nick Both. It was a big part of it. And you know when she dropped off, and then eh? Before when they're like he, you know that you would hold him hold him to be it affected everything. And then you had a young guy. You lose Defoe. You bring in the young kid Qian long and I think he played well. He got better as the season went and then Eric Arm said, I mean, he was a guy that benefited from a Nick Bosa. De force and the force Buckner. So you know that defensive line is still up. But here's here's a positive thing. It got real good as the year went on these young guys really playing well, These guys really stood up and, you know, guys kind of all of a sudden showed up. Hideaki are carry Haider Junior. He showed up and you had some guys really makes a big play. So we are making a missing big votes. It was it was a big deal and it and it and it showed You know, as the season went on, but you've got to give these guys on the defensive line. These young kids they really kind of showed up a little bit. And they put some good film on tape. So I was impressed by them. And then you know, solid the way he coached this whole season. I mean, when he was given to, you know to do. It was a tough task, and I think he did a really good job. And that's why you know, even though the team had a losing season. You know, he's one of the hottest coaches now. I mean, you know, you don't see that. I know what's the time after Super Bowl? It's kind of like when you know these coaches are. You know this is the hot coach, but now you have a guy like Sala. Comes off a really bad year, but his defense played really well. They did. I mean, they wound up a top five defense. Despite all the losses, and it's incredible, they were strong against the past. They were strong against the run. It really wasn't a weakness, but so, um, let's just knock on wood. You know, people get over a C. L's. It's not like years ago, Nick posted comes back and his neck Bosa. But the other side of that, you know the gold rush. There. There. Turbo is D fort, And he's a huge question mark. Huge, huge, so I would identify edge. Russia is the biggest priority this team has and they need cornerbacks they need. They need obviously to solidify the offensive line. They need depth at quarterback, but you gotta get If you only have one. They're gonna slide all the protection 90 seven's way and direct the game. But man, he's not gonna record like you can. So do they have to go out? And either draft one or two By Ah, guy, or is there anybody among the group that one guys? You mentioned Kerry Haider that I kind of wonder if you lined up Carrie Hider on one edge. And Nick on the other and moved Armstead inside. Um you know what D J Jones or view Jovon Kin Law or when my idea would be moving Haider inside with Armstead and then getting a screaming edge rusher like D ford. So where do you identify? This. The other guy, the other outside edge rusher to Nick, Who would be that guy in your perfect scenario, Dennis? Well in the perfect scenario, it would be D Ford. But I don't think he's gonna be a 40 Niner next season, and I think you can go out in the draft. I make it one of these young kids and I really jumped on my draft or, like a like like Larry Krueger probably has, but I'm sure they're necessarily we got God's trash Till April, 20 dies. We got time. I'm sure I'm sure Larry's got a few guys draft board, but I mean, you know, I mean, there's some young kids out there you gotta you gotta find that athletic outside guy who's just a beast. He just wants to rush the passer. And you he can. He can set up a nice, tough edge on that other side and you know, and I think it makes everybody and what? That wide nine. I mean, you have to find a guy that's just a straight speed man. Someone outside linebacker. That's That's a defense of line with a guy who can't just rush that edge consistently and get pressure on the quarterback. And that helps out that defense so much Then, like you said, You can't fly to a Nick Bosa and you can leave it open in the middle for Eric Armstead to kind of do his stuff on the guard. So you know, I think there's somebody out there in the draft. I don't I don't know if there's any set out there right now that You can kind of go in grab and bring into this this type of defense. I think you have to go in the draft and I think you build a team in your draft. I think you know that's that's how you kind of do it. How you build a team you want, find another Nick books up and you know that's that's kind of what you kind of have to do..

New York Giants Confirm Saquon Barkley Tore ACL, Out For The Season
"There are terrible injuries all over the NFL yesterday alone. Nick. Bosa. From the niners Saquon Barkley from the giants both suffered torn ACL statistics show that through two weeks nfl record twice as many significant injuries as last year. It's actually at least six players suffered a torn acl including just recently Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bruce Irvin Eleven, injuries to starters in the one o'clock games alone John Do you think these injuries have something to do with the fact that there were no preseason games. Well. For example, the Rams don't play any of their starters in preseason games I think is in the spirit of your question i. think it has something to do with no camp no real camp they kind of shotgun training camp and I don't know how you could make the opposite argument that it has nothing to do with it. I wouldn't tied to preseason games what I would do it to the fact that there was very little tackling. Yes in. The game started and the other thing is I know Kyle Shanahan the niners felt like the field wasn't ready like the field I think he played in the meadowlands and he's got play there again next week because he played the jets and now he's GonNa, play the giants. Players on both teams going down. So I don't necessarily think that the facilities were one hundred percent prepared either I think again, I think the spirit of your question is the fact that they fast tracked everything and started the season. Because of Covid is that having any do with the injuries I don't know how you could say it doesn't I think it has to yeah. I mean I I completely agree I mean between training camp and preseason games where guys at least get a sense for what they get a reminder of what getting hit is like. I think they're I think they would be better off. It is an extraordinary number of injuries and none worse than Christian McCaffrey who's gone for four to six weeks and his the stalwart of my fantasy team just loyal to John Ireland how about? Yeah. I cleaned your clock thinking Matt Ryan. But. How about how about Saquon out for the year? Yeah. Entirely out for the year Bosa gone for the with a tornado. And that means that the giants I. It might be a race between the giants and the jets who the worst team football is. The whole new. York City area has to just garbage football teams because the jets are a mess and now the giants have no running game. So it's going to have it's going to have after-effects. All these
The Woody Show
San Francisco 49ers lose Jimmy Garoppolo, Nick Bosa, Raheem Mostert
"The bigger headline from NFL week to injuries done worse than Greg's forty niners. Jimmy Garoppolo the quarterback going to be out four to six weeks with an ankle sprain juice is really bad on defense nick. Bosa. Likely. Horn. Seal. That's the season ender Solomon Thomas. Knee injury as well. Running back Brahim. MOSTER. He left the game after an eighty yard nobody touched me touchdown. He left he left the game. He's believed to have a mild knee injury giants running back Saquon? Barkley has what is believed to be an ACL tear? He would be done for the season broncos quarterback drew lock shoulder injury cam acres of the rams rib injury packers, Davante Adams Hamstring Christian McCaffrey with left with an ankle. To Ankle, but one of them is hurt but the forty niners had saquon Barkley. Those are those are the season enders probably right there. So tough day. A lot of people who weren't playing tweeting out like all the best everybody that's going down with injury Roy.
KNBR Tonight with Drew Hoffar & Kevin Frandsen
NFC West: Who will unseat the 49ers?
"So glad to be joined by Candace Silva of the rams wire as we go around the NFC west try to figure out who's going to unseat the forty Niners if they can be unseeded at the top of the division cam covers the the rams the rams who apparently are the hot bat right now to win the Superbowl at thirty to one what the hell's going on their camp yeah apparently they were the most popular Super Bowl bet of the last I think there's some were the bachelor come in anywhere on the rams won the Superbowl which is surprising because they've done nothing in the past okay two months to really bolster their claim as a Super Bowl contender in it's been a rough offseason for them so they got a bounce back in to see them as a Super Bowl favorite or not people will favor but to see so many people jumping on the bandwagon for them to win the Superbowl surprising I mean obviously they were just in the Super Bowl now might about a decade ago by our current time frame standards but it was two seasons ago and they still have the same quarterback they still have the same head coach where has it gone wrong we know what happened last year it in fact but if if people are buying in why would you say don't hi this is biggest issue right now I was really surprised that they essentially ignored the the office of identity try to remake it or bring in much talent really on the opposite line this offseason they refinance or what works best it brought back Austin blight who could play guard and center I'm so really they're sticking with the same group that they had last year there's a lot of competition really the only position that sat on the opposite wanted at left tackle with what danger what work right but the other four spots where they're gonna be competitions with Bobby Evans and rob Stein at right tackle Austin Blake and Bryan Alexander in the guard position is kind of just a mishmash of players who are relatively unproven at the NFL level so I would say that's the biggest issue switching Todd Gurley out for can makers they hope is going to be an upgrade at least hopefully in the in the explosiveness department because we do the regular Todd Gurley last season and he kind of seems like he's past his prime with the old me injury in right usage so they hope that with the improved often combined with these guys developing the younger guys and then a a better run game they're going to hopefully get back to their roots from the twenty seventeen twenty seventeen to twenty eighteen season that also supplying plan doesn't seem like a very good one considering that they're in a division with the forty Niners who I don't think I'm being a Homer here by saying that they have a pretty darn good defense of line like that that might not be a good match up for them yeah that's one of the best defensive line principality and you're gonna have it you're gonna have such a us a big mismatch every time that these teams square off because the defense of life for forty third San Francisco so good you got Nick Bosa all the guys on the interior Erik Armstead so there's gonna be tough match ups all across the front when these teams square off twice a year and you're not gonna want to right now in blocking these guys or Bobby Evans are often blight it's it's gonna be a tough match up for all these guys what's M. brings us to the cornerback what what went down with Jared Goff I mean I don't know what it was it all just smoke and mirrors in that Super Bowl season was he figured out I mean there there's been plenty of arguments I've seen a lot of smart people say listen as soon as Matt Patricia showed how to basically not bite on the play action it was game over for the rams they still made the Super Bowl but last year was not great is there any realistic expectation around the rams that they can make it jump now with you know maybe acres and there is the full time running back yeah I I wouldn't say your golf was just smoke and mirrors in twenty eighteen I thought he was a legitimate MVP candidates for most that season and then they kind of have that by the crazy Monday Night Football game against the chiefs and ever since then he's just more grass than not been the same player it was it was he was really terrible on play action last season which was a surprise but again that goes back to the office of line you just didn't have time to to get to a second read he didn't have time to to turn his back to the defense on these armies clashing passes so that a big impact but he's a player who I know they gave them a hundred thirty four million dollars but at this point in his career he doesn't seem like someone who's going to really master the issues of the rest of the offense it's not can overcome terrible off in one place so for him in the rams to really bounce back it's going to take an improvement on the offensive line golf getting back to how he was playing in twenty eighteen and then that running game coming alive and that seems like a lot of that on because it's it's everything coming together as a cohesive unit but I mean with the talent that they do have they still look really good receivers with concocting Robert wood acres and Henderson at running back our promising and golf if he if he lives up to his contracting really pleased the way the FHS quarterback showed the ram should bounce back nicely I like Henderson he came out of Memphis right yep yep he he really was under utilized last year yeah they were kind of well I wouldn't say stubborn sticking with elderly but he just didn't get many opportunities but when he did when he did get some chances he showed his show computer production yeah if you could once against the forty Niners last season to worry bounced off a few tackles and I mean he he's a smaller guy he runs hard and he he he also I'm interested to see how they utilize them with Cammy Kerr's

Barnwell show so after two weeks Of Extremely Exciting Football Championship weekend did not disappoint niners and chiefs fans disappointed pretty much everyone else or at least anyone who wanted close close games both favorites dominated so let's start with the most dominant team the San Francisco Forty niners bill win the niners packers met earlier earlier. This season. Aaron Rodgers had one of the worst games of his career threw for one hundred and four yards. Tonight he threw for three hundred twenty six yards But the result wasn't much better. Why is that okay? So the first time these two teams played the niners won with an absolutely dominant. Pash Josh Rush Nick. Bosa and his teammates knocked down Aaron Rodgers ten times on Sunday. The only knockdown Aaron Rogers twice and while they did hold them without a first down conversion in the first half both of those games the packers movable pretty consistently I should say after after halftime instead the forty niners otherworldly in a different way on Sunday they ran the ball forty two times for two hundred eighty five yards and four. We're touchdowns averaging nearly seven yards per carry to put that in context. ESPN has a stat called expected. Points with measures how each play impacts team's James Chances of scoring on a given the forty niners racked up the second most rushing. EPA for any team in a game this season and and the most for any single team in a playoff game over the last decade just narrowly beating out the prior record holder. which just happened to be the forty niners? Twenty wanting twelve playoff win over. The Green Bay Packers would Colin Kaepernick. Ran For one hundred. Eighty one rushing yards. So they're leading rusher tonight. I was not Colin Kaepernick. It was re Moster who ran for two hundred and twenty yards by himself. were good has hat trick the first half of the NFC championship game deserves a hat trick of field grade baby bill. Will I am guessing. A decent amount of football fans hadn't heard Ramos before tonight. Okay so you mustard is basically it accident accident in football terms but it's such a cool story so the Shanahan offense has a history of unearthing obscure running back and turning them into stars going back to Mike Shanahan stays in Denver but even among those backs most particularly remarkable case. Liners did everything they could to find a different running back over the past a couple of years. They hand picked a runner who they traded up to nab in the two thousand seventeen draft never played a game for the team. They signed Jerick McKinnon Torres. ACL He's collected more than and twenty one million dollars for the niners without ever playing a single game for the team. This offseason they added. Kevin Coleman from the Falcons who suffered an injury in the first half and that opened up the door from western and most of its story is easy to root for. You heard him talk about it. After the biggest game of his life on Sunday crazy that I've been on seven. Different teams actually still have cut dates every before every game a look at the dates when I got cut not everybody can can deal. Would that type of stressing the pain and agony I went through. I kept the faith to not only myself but whoever gave me the opportunity is organization has done a great job most are made the niners roster as a special teamer at first but after he looked good in limited time last season they gave him a three year extension after playing. Well this season most are just became the first running back. NFL history to top two hundred rushing yards and scored four rushing touchdowns in a single game. That's never happened in the playoffs playoffs before pretty good for a guy who was really an afterthought until the two thousand eighteen season. What's just remarkable? Bill is those two hundred twenty rushing yards. Were nearly three times as many yards as Garoppolo the night as quarterback past for which made for a remarkable stat sheet. There was a point in this football game where according to ESPN stats and Info. Jimmy went ninety four minutes in real time without attempting a pass so I have to ask going into the Super Bowl. Is that a sustainable offensive approach. I mean we all had that friend and in our twenties who got by succeeded solely because they were good looking right now that friend is Jimmy. Garoppolo I mean in the divisional round. He barely through through the football in the conference championship game. He barely through the football. We saw a similar situation with Ryan. Tannehill right over the first two weeks of his post. The season and when Tennessee ran into an offensive juggernaut with the chiefs their offense with Danny Hillis not able to accelerate into a higher gear. Now of course Garoppolo is the one who has to face the chiefs unless the forty niners can shut down the Kansas City. Passing game with their pass rush which isn't out of the question they're going to need to throw the football more quite a bit more. We've seen the niners succeed in games or Garoppolo and to throw the ball at ton with the Saints Win. Maybe as a notable for example but since Garoppolo through that interception against the Vikings in the divisional round cow Shanahan has called seventy one runs against just twelve passes passes even if the niners do end up throwing the ball effectively against the chiefs. It's clear that Shanahan doesn't WANNA put the game on Garoppolo shoulders unless absolutely necessary and that in itself is telling throughout the game bill packers fans were frustrated. Understand police and they seem to be taking out some of their wrath on the coaches arguing. They should have devised better game. Plans to both run the ball more and stop the run and do you think there's anything that Matt Leflore or the Packers Defensive Coordinator Mike Patton could have done differently in this game. Yeah I think so I think to be fair. Shanahan might just ask pedants number. It just felt like you is several steps ahead of the packers defensive coordinator and when pen and tried to adjust it just never seemed to catch up and work there. There was one play I think in the second quarter was a microcosm of everything that went wrong for the packers in this game. They came out in their nickle package with five defensive backs against the forty niners base. He's too back offense which created the size mismatch. The niners pitched the Baltimore and not only did he have a huge hole but he made both safeties with on their tackle attempts downfield win for about thirty yards. pedants struggled to put his players in positions where they could succeed and meanwhile leflore didn't coach like a guy who was a seven point underdog. The packers punted. I believe on their first drive on fourth and one from the fifty yard line. We know the packers are enormously more effective offense with Aaron Aaron Jones on the field but the floor still Jamal Williams their backup running back. Play over thirty percent of the offensive snaps and he didn't really take advantage of move the niners movement Richard Sherman. That was really fascinating during the regular season for the niners and during the vast majority of his time in Seattle Sherman signed up for almost every every snap asked the left cornerback. Defense playing against the right side of the offense. The niners started the game on Sunday. Which chairman on the opposite side of the field on the right side of the defense on the left side of the offense against devante items and while Sharon didn't travel to the left side very frequently? He did do it a few times during the first half. The second half Adams was able to be isolated Sherman over the top for a huge play downfield. I think that played about half of his snaps on either side of the field. I would have liked to have seen for trying to isolate him against German a little more often and take his chances with

Let's overreact to Week 8: The 49ers are the NFL's best team
"I think that what we want to talk about our vise lows the NFL season so far and highs at this point are the Sansko forty niners it's the New England patriots to undefeated teams and then we want to get into Adam gays who want to get into Freddie Kitchens in WanNa get into the Chicago bears those I probably don't need to say are the lows of the nfl let's start with the great teams the teams that are that are undefeated mic Bosa and San Francisco Forty niners so this was so we talked about this last week where essentially both of the undefeated teams have been dogged by this Weirdo they haven't played anybody and eventually as maze I talked about last week eventually you know this is just the NFL they're beating up on these bad teams because there's just too many bad NFL team that's sort of the way things are going right now there's like five good teams that are quote unquote nice schedule winds and then there's twenty-seven teams who are who everyone considers inferior one AA competition Ravin said that the forty niners host the Carolina Panthers on Sunday they win fifty one to thirteen the panthers where the fifth ranked offense in the NFL all fifteen th ranked defense Nick Bosa three sacks three tackles for loss one pass break up and one interception return for forty six yards the forty niners I I I don't feel the need to say there will jit because we already knew their religion you've written about this this was the type of win that I August isn't very analytical this shuts people up oh yeah I mean this is this is what they call a statement when I think the most points they've scored since ninety three or something like that I saw that today Yup yeah type of win where if there was college they would get like twenty more first place votes this week exactly kind of win they wouldn't jump over the Patriots but it'd be getting close yeah I mean this what stood out to you when you just looked at I mean it was as complete performance you can get it turning that stood out that maybe I mentioned already I mean yeah obviously the defense I think has been the foundation that they've been operating on this year they've -pletely remade that front seven I should say the front the Front Line Nick Bosa you know changes everything default has been good deforest buckner is just playing out in elite level still Eric Armstead has been playing really really well as you know two and then I actually saw Solomon Thomas make a really good play today too I mean they've got guys they've got it reminds me a little bit of the rams of old in one sense that they spent several years of like accumulating talent and it's finding all starting to kind of click together her and their defense is looks like a juggernaut and then on the other side of the ball run game is just so dominant You know we saw we saw what they could do today. Seven Coleman really really good they've got like woman baby yeah they've got like four backs that could that could be their starter yeah they're just really really good so they they control the clock they it's such an old school method in you know it's it's funny because in the in the stage when passing is so much more efficient they're kind of breaking that rule that passing more efficient because when you can run with that level of efficiency in that level of explosiveness I mean it just you don't Oh you don't actually really need to pass that much because they've just been doing it sufficiently my favorite maybe event of twenty nineteen so far is field yates tweeted out most pass attempts prior to first career interception history number one is Dak Prescott number three was Kyle Allen after the game yeah Richard Sherman Seen this yet Richard Sherman quote tweeted that tweet which is I'm so happy to have Richard Sherman back in our lives I talked with a couple of weeks ago but just like the thing where he may be made up that thing with Baker Mayfield I'm fine with it leveraged do whatever he wants he's back in the spotlight he's GonNa Talk unquote tweet field Yates tweets about say element Mayo hundred percent on the rich German experience back to hit a piano yeah I know this is a pro Richard Sherman podcast now I think it's really interesting what happens now in the NFC obviously the Green Bay packers won tonight there are no drew breeze comes back with the saints and they look like they didn't miss a beat obviously you know teddy bridgewater is a very good quarterback while he was aperture breezes he's wearing your mind is the pecking order in the NFC and are the niners significantly above those other two teams man that's such a good question I really like The saints still I think the fact that they were able to do what they did go five zero at bridgewater and just Kinda keep going you know keep them momentum going forward I think they are still one of the favorites I would say you know it San Francisco New Orleans one and the packers just slightly below that but with the way that Aaron Rodgers has been playing last couple of weeks there certainly scary I think their defense has taken a little bit of a step back so there may be not quite as balanced as we thought they were but yeah I mean I think those are clear top three teams there's no question about that and then you could you know make arguments for the vikings or whoever but yeah I think those are like the like the cream of the crop for share in then there's a bunch of other teams speaking of the cream of the Crop New England patriots okay so the stats from the NFL the browns I can barely get throughout the browns had turnovers on three consecutive offensive plays against the Patriots that is the first time any team has done so since week one twenty twelve only the seventh time it's been done since two thousand this is not good if you're the browns we're GonNa get to the browns and are very robust stocks downs section a little bit but this patriots team unfortunately this is not kind of the schedule will win that we thought it was going to be you know the niners get there's the browns are not as good as the panthers the browns have been kind of a disaster but this was just another performance Devin mccourty looks like maybe defensive player of the year candidate the defense he just unbelievable in Baker Mayfield after the game said that the Patriots didn't do anything confuse them they were just playing really well yeah and you you kinda wonder like isn't that the worst case scenario for a team is the they're not doing anything new there just being the crap out of you I mean it was amazing when you think about this patriots defense what comes to mind yeah I think a couple of things going to mind number one discipline that's kind of a hallmark of the belichick teams is just being really disciplined like you know obviously Cliche do your job or whatever that's the first thing versatility you know they're able to play it's

Which college produces the best NFL talent?
"A special edition of N._F._l.. Live on deck today at the N._F._l.. Celebrates one hundred season just six weeks away however we are just five weeks away in college. Football Opens It one hundred fiftieth the anniversary so today welcome N._F._l.. You were combining the two worlds to answer age-old question what college produces the best n._F._l.. Talent however I'm Wendy net sand Hutus here you know what's better to be on this panel our expert notice icy expert telling me when Lewis Minute of her panter on the list not on the House for back the quarterback guru he and his brother in a lot of N._F._l.. Games James A lot and Ryan Clark. You see the L. L._S._U.. They are ills college football. L. Is Jonathan Vilma bike. He will join US shortly. He happened to win a National Championship and Oh by the way a super bowl as well coming up on N._F._l.. Live will break down position by position which college produces the best quarterback Oklahoma has the number one overall pick the last two years we have the top ten plays all the N._F._l.. Superstars when they were in college and answering big question which school produces the best all time N._F._l.. Talent we had to ask the players themselves to kick things off. We're the first pick quarterback Oklahoma Viva say Oklahoma Alabama Clemson because proven it is one atop factory the Ohio state highest in Alabama. 'cause I never lost beat out. You really can't understand it into your inside. Sadness programming is all about the you for N._F._l.. Because of Georgia in every aspect but I think L._S._U.. CRESA environment of gray competition and guys is trying to feed off of IT University of Pittsburgh. You Got Dorset. Dan Marina you got Larry. Fitzgerald was not a me show. It's about having everybody involved in working for the Sandal clumps in would cushman he's been doing. He's making people believe everything is possible for House is the best our stop it. Stop stuff well. Let's start shall we with the most players from each college currently in the N._F._l.. Alabama leads the way with V with sixty five players players followed by Ohio state in second place with fifty eight so we're going to debate these schools I in terms of who is best at producing N._F._l.. Challenge here's a tale of the tape on Alabama at Ohio state success since the two thousand draft folks tools I have had thirty one first round picks the most of any school while the Buckeyes have thirteen more total picks in the last twenty drafts but Bama's players have been slightly more successful in the league producing three more pro bowlers than Ohio St Louis Rick. Let's start with with the crimson tide. They're starting eleven if you will offense and defense current N._F._l.. Talent there's any question that these are both very impressive lineups that if Alabama can roll these teams out there right now now. I think they'd win a few games without a doubt. If you look at the offense aside outside of the ball the first thing that jumps out of these starting eleven are the two wide receivers look Julio. Jones is one of the finest athletes in the N._F._l.. For guardless of position he's in the news right now because he's about to get a new contract extension and he's really one of the he's one of the transcendent players at the position that this game the scene Amari Cooper the same way. When Amari came out of college? I remember doing his tape in thinking point honestly as far as catching one pet and run wide receiver. I hadn't seen one as good as him as him. In a long long time on the defensive side look they have fine players throughout the eleven here really that when you get to the secondary and you guys like Eddie Jackson Landon Collins I mean these guys are disband tastic players on the front dont`a hightower our multiple time superbowl winner. These are great great players right here. Make our way to Columbus shower of the to Ohio state you go to the offense side of the football. Look the first thing that jumps out without a doubt as Ezekiel Elliott because if he's not the best running back in the N._F._l.. He would be considered a top three running back in the N._F._l.. Wide Receiver Michael Thomas Really someone who was unheralded coming out of college. He's a tremendous tremendous. Pro will probably be the highest paid wide receiver in the N._F._l.. In short time then move over to the defensive side of the ball this this is where really this football team really kind of jumps off the board starting up Front Joey Bosa Cam Hayward those are two of the best defense alignment in the N._F._l.. Right now and then when you look down there at the Secondary Malcolm Dyson Dinkins Denzel Ward Marshon Lattimore doesn't let's get much better than that. All right Jonathan Vilma made his way again surly qualified to weigh in on this discussion. Look I mean there's a shortage of talent with either of these squads. It's almost ridiculous factory and a lot of ways both of these institutions but let the debate again a Ryan Clark. You can't pick L._S._U.. Just yet but when you look at this group what stands out L._S._U.'s better than both of these things we're gonNA get to that. We're supposed to be talking outlets. Let's be honest. There's amazing players. Neither one of them have a quarterback right before proven yet though little I mean why don't we always have to see something first before we can get you well Ray Richardson running back right you saw God compare that with you why time gentlemen we're GonNa play Nice Got Ninety minutes ago. You're the Glenn Difference from every other position that we're looking at okay fair enough now back to you Louis. It is a production results oriented industry. Is it not so it is fair to say seeing something. Does one believe they'll be success won't sure but I mean we're we'll see this is kind of like a combination of what they have done in college. What some of these guys have done in the pros in some of it's a little bit of projecting about what they're gonNA continue to do in the pros? That's how I'm going to expand it to that all right so at quarterback quarterback Dwayne Haskins I believe right now. There's no comparison as far as I don't care what A._J.. McCarron did it Alabama cows tape. Those Wayne has close exact Haskins is going to be a fine football player. What's going to happen to him? Really is going to be more predicated on what Washington redskins overall due to him then what he does to himself. I firmly believe that as far as these rousers overall look the wide receiver position Julio Jones Amari Cooper. Julio Jones's the standard if you go and look N._F._l.. For an offices and look in their scouting books books every team has a standard at every position that they put for scouts the suit for as far as whenever when their scouting people polio is going to be on that list for for many many teams he's about as good as it gets so skill positions at Alabama are awesome. The defensive players at Ohio State is what stands out for me as far as their front seven is concerned particularly their defensive line and their secondary Denzel Award Marshon Lattimore. You tell me a team that wouldn't take those two young men right now and startled. Let me ask you a specific question since you spend some time as an analyst watching these players at the collegiate level if you had to choose either of this group Alabama Ohio state who's players really got better or who took a bigger step forward than you anticipated when they got to the N._F._l.. Out To you to dance your last part no neither standout. They're pretty equal because watching these guys watching Jonathan Allen he played okay well Dante. I'll tell you knew who is going to be tremendous player defensive player C._J.. Moseley's same thing and then you go to the other side and you look at Joey Bosa Nick Bosa Darren like Malcolm Jenkins. I play with Malcolm Jenkins in in New Orleans knew he was going to be a study. He's Philistine but what is surprising how fast or House they defense is. I did not realize how fast defensive you think big ten you didn't big Brawley guys not so fast but these guys can move joey. Bosa also can move nick volks in Darren League. We know the Burner Malcolm J. Denzel War March. I mean that is a very very talented athletic fast fast defense. I thought I was going to jump in your rookie. I think that's a great question Wendy about as far as what teams teams have players that have gotten better pros. You look at Ohio state this look at their offense. In particular Michael. Thomas was a good wide receiver to hire Stayton. He's fantastic now. He's GonNa be highest paid wide receiver in the N._F._l.. Andrew Norwell most people wouldn't even know Andrew Norwell well what from Andrew Doorbell he right now just judge Moore Norwell can't open open some N._F._l.. Spectacular and even on the defensive side of the ball. I didn't think Marshon lattimore. I've liked Marshon Lattimore at Ohio state. I didn't love Marcet. He has taken his game to another level as well in the really own Alabama side you know how I feel about Alabama I feel nick and what he does and how he builds his program but really focus on their offense align that was just look okay and think about that question. Wendy Wendy asked how many players have gotten better how many have continued to improve Andre Smith may have his best days at Alabama. Dame's carpenter has really been good pro Brian Kelly the jury still out he could be a he's a good player. He's GonNa play already in Indianapolis D._J.. fluker was he ever ever really that guy that dominant guy no. He hasn't been Cam Robinson. Have you seen story so it's interesting because they're preventing people have been many people who've hit Alabama and said they get the best out of their players at Alabama. Maybe it's good discussion legal where people go by what teams there drafted so we look at Michael Thomas he falls into a place where he needs an accurate passer and he's one of the most accurate passers all the time also about the place you land in ashore and how they develop you ask Josh Rosen he absolutely he knows that all too well. I ten Hasselbeck. The whole point of this is to pick one of our producers here a little bit we talked. I'm going Alabama mainly change quarterbacks. Yeah I think looks great point about the offensive line at Alabama because so many of them when you look at them just in terms of body type you're like Oh my God look at those guys body type wise but like I don't know that some of those guys have come in and be like Oh and they got a whole lot better. We're obviously splitting hairs here on this ongoing Alabama Lewis Sorry Nick. Oh from a hustle change your mind or did you stick the way said one because I don't care if between Haskins hasn't played. I think he's I think he's in the saints. Stratosphere is A._J.. McCarron so I like that I liked it their offense of line one of the things that talked about how they develop those guys on the defense aside but they're fun four plus their secondary this going with them Ryan Clark you have to pick one while I was brought here for one reason in one reason only when the Knicks because everyone knew it my answers it would be and what Tim Hasselbeck has proven is. You don't need a quarterback. That's really he's GonNa be Ohio state in Alabama that don't have quarterbacks guess what we don't need a quarterback back and by the way you don't want our first off was good enough for Bill Belichick your boy to draft him as Tom Brady's heir-apparent draft. We thought they they went to L._S._U.. Because this guy has what they decided to we throwing the ball all around the field Andrew Whitworth he's played a thousand years. There's a Guy Jerry go look at the Neil hundred may has like negative two percent body fat Michael Broncos out. There aren't key. We gotta wait on them but it's are are you at the back of position. That's all we got mad. I gotTa get here all even have to work conviction when you spoke scissors. I'm sorry I just so tim. I love your twenty. Two question your toughness Whoa West I've seen because as you know what fair enough he's at Alabama alum landon dare you wait into the circus that we've created. But what do you have to say about this. Whole debate ain't Ryan got some good good good stuff going on say? I wouldn't question his toughness at all. I don't know why you questioned Ryan toughness. I saw him not got a lot of Alabama's always number one no matter Corolla tyrod. Let me ask you a serious question. You know obviously nick. Sabin is a hall of Famer one of the best ever coach this game but specifically what does he do that has allowed such historic success at the university. Steve Alabama <hes> as a coach he speaks for as a coach. He represents his players as players coach. I would say he makes all this coach. All the players are on the him as a player as a father <hes> <hes> and as a as many tried to teach us they'd be a man and a great play all at one time you know so he does it all leading. Can you please tell the people why you are now better that you have trusted your career training with the guy from L._S._U.. Hey right you agreed trying to grow been gone on gone for years

Nick Bosa: I Will 'Keep My Opinions to Myself' After Criticism of Old Tweets
"And then there's the story about Nick Bosa and Nick Bosa has praised President Trump. He's called Colin Kaepernick clown in tweets later deleted. He's also admitted the possibility of landing in San Francisco prompted him to curtail his social media activity and on Wednesday. He sounded as if he's done sharing his conservative opinions quote. I'm just getting ready for the draft. I'm not really worried about Twitter anymore. I think the people who know me know, who I am. And I'm going to keep my opinions to myself from now on he's tweeted things in the. The past like beyond say sucks. Stuff that I mentioned earlier, that's not hill. That's really necessary. But here's the thing. These are opinions. Right. We have the freedom to express our opinions. We're doing right now on the radio people. Do it at the water cooler peop-, the water cooler is now Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. Right. Is it really that big of a deal that this guy is definitely leaning to the right? And that he should should this affect his his livelihood in any way. No. I think the bigger issue is that he feels he has to get rid of it. Because of the backlash say everybody has nothing raises or a legally. Yep. Yeah. It's not a race league. Tom Brady, a big fan of Trump's and nobody says anything him if he wants to put them up there. That's a great point. Yeah. I think he was more concerned because he's going to eat thinks he's going to San Francisco, which is the bastion of liberal. It's yeah. Like moscow. Yeah. And he's. Comrade? Have you read the paper day worried? But he races. Because once you put them onto it is there somebody that's true. It's not coming off. They're going to see it again, just say, hey, how and some of the tweets like when he was in high school, and, you know, come on, man. Yeah. I agree with you. If somebody says something that's racist or defamatory, something like that. If you like just go after someone like, you know in a brutal mean-spirited way. Yeah. That's gonna come out to buy. It's funny because now I've got a twenty one year old son. He's a junior college. And I got a twenty three year old daughter who happens to be a teacher, and my daughter has a Twitter page for work, and then she has her own private Twitter page with just a handful of followers that she uses for her own stuff. But on neither page will you find anything that's remotely close to being controversial, exactly. But the the point is is that I kind of beat this into their heads. Because of what I do for a living. Because I'm on the radio. And I know these things you put it out there. It's never coming back. It's like you said, Ken, you can delete the tweet, but somebody's got a screen shower somewhere. Always. And you do have to do that. You have to be careful about I always think, you know, there's many tweets that I have not sent I've wanted to say, well, you're just like somebody up. But then I think too I really want to deal with the blowback. No forever. Exactly. Yeah. We'll Blaine in two thousand eleven you tweeted out, blah, blah. Well, yeah. It was two thousand eleven and this was happening. And that's why I felt that way. I I don't know. I kinda have mixed feelings about it. Because I think we should all be able to say whatever you want to say, nobody gets mad at calling capital, or at least the people who are mad at this guy aren't mad at calling capper. Nick, right run. They have no problem with Colin expecting expressing his opinions. But this guy who has opinions that opposed. There's well. He's he's terrible because he's conservative. He's worried about he hasn't got glass. Yeah. So he really doesn't know what would have happened. But if it became world famous when you I was grilled all my tweets, just in case, would you know, what I said ten years ago, you know, what I'm just saying they have people that just go back and look at everybody tweets was some guy last year, and he would hold a baseball. From when he was any no hitter. Yeah. So they got people just go back to try to find something. I would I was growing those. If you don't have it locked by
First Take
Hour 2: Mel Kiper Jr's NFL draft predictions
"Mel kiper junior into the show. What's up melt? Hey, guys, how you doing? Good. All right. So number one overall. Mel you have Nick Bosa going to the cardinals. You've heard the things cliff Kingsbury has said about collar Murray, he's a big fan. But he's also said Josh Rosen is our guy. So how confident are you about the cardinals going Bosa at one do guys with a mock draft you call around and you get different opinions. You try to build some type of a consensus. Steve drafted Josh Rosen. I thought he held his own for getting no help you seems like the players in that locker ROY believe in him you move forward. Josh Rosen would have a higher grade than any quarterback in this draft. If you go basically apple apple, and you try to reject a year with a year experience where they would be. But I think they're happier with Josh Rosen than they would have been a quarterback including Tyler Perry. Tyler Murray is still five nine five ten and size body type or still some things at the combine and pro day, and he's going to have to answer to give up on Josh Rosen and go that direction. I don't see it happening based on the people have spoken to. So I went with both. Over Josh Allen. That's going to be the debate the trait outta there. Do you tape boasts Allen right now, it seems like Bosa may be the lead who knows internally with their thinking. But trading out of there for team. Let's go out and get Askins. Maybe something maybe interested in listening to Mel. I'm very surprised by that draft. Order Nick Bosa is the is the foolproof, right? He's going to be a stud, but people felt that way about Nick last year. Sorry, Bradley Chubb last year, he's the best Pash rusher by so much you might as well, get them. There question marks about everyone including including. Cleveland Browns quarterback acre Mayfield, including Gregor Mayfield. Sam darnold everyone. So they're going to go, Bradley choke with not only didn't go Bradley Chubb. They went to the talented quarterback, you know, out of the big twelve who they had questions about right? Isn't that Keiler Murray this year, and isn't Nick Bosa basically, Bradley up? Well, Trump had a great year and shove ended up going to a team that utilize him and put him out there with Miller and he's a tremendous player. Tremendous young man, he's going to have a huge future and the ratio that I think when taken the war, Denzel word overcharged was what Cleveland was kind of debating there. Do you take the corner the pass rusher and put him opposite Garrett? They thought Ogbeh would come on. He didn't. But that was a decision obeyed word played well till he got hurt. I think we look at at Murray Murray is different in that he's five nine and a half. He's not six foot and a half to twenty like Baker Mayfield was and is I think that body type when you think about we've never seen before we've seen Baker Mayfield types. Okay. Before we haven't seen Cuyler Murray fight go this SARS, no conflict Kyle Murray. Guys. There's none. So I think we've talked. The number one pick four pick even a first round pick for that matter. I've at thirteen to Miami you've never seen this ever happened before. So I think some answers may become at the combine when you see him as he looked like he can hold up. It looks those guys in the eye. Does he looked like an NFL quarterback putting on a board? You know, it's football IQ should be really good the hand size people. Always look at that nine is that is that there you can do it or you can't will see hand size with collar Murray comes in at so still some things that'd be determined the answers. I got back from that question. This week is was leave Cuyler Murray at thirteen don't move him up that seems to be fair for right now in the process is that you say that Mel just this morning. We learned we got some news. Peter King was speak into Lincoln Riley, the coach at OU, and he said that ninety one percent of the past column Murray through from the pocket while at OU last season ninety one percent of this passes were from floor from Nepal. So when you look at him in comparison to Dwayne has its handicap that us was break that down. What makes? What one quarterback better than the other for the next level in light of that ninety one percent there column, right? That's a great point. Because I think you look at how do you compare? I don't remember one man's L came out. I said he's a wild card even out liar. I don't know what he's going to be Baker Mayfield. Last year was the wildcard big three. We knew it was Josh Allen Sam darnold. Josh Rosen maker Mayfield was the wild card this year the wild card again is Kyle Murray. So you compare him to Haskins asan's as a traditional guy. Everybody knows what you're getting there. Even though he was one year as a starter. We don't know we're hoping I think if you draft him say at thirteen or wherever in the first round, you hope that today's NFL okay with the shotgun so deep getting that shotgun snap not under center, basically in space Todd mcshane's but talking about the statute great set more passes batted down for six foot and over quarterback than six foot and under quarterbacks like Cuyler Murray. So today's NFL makes this happen. It's kind of the perfect storm for him coming out at the right time and the right situation. So there's going to be able to protect his body. He can slide. We know that we know how lightning quickie. Yes. That is in the back. Of his Eddie senses things that nobody else. Can't you mentioned the pocket of build? That's underrated part. He will sit in that pocket. He will wait he'll go through progressions. And he's tremendously accurate. His completion percentage. Was right. Where Mayfield was and he accounted for more touchdowns this season. The Baker Mayfield did during his great year two seasons ago. So I said three months ago collar Murray six foot tall five eleven. It's no discussion. He's the number one pick. But at five nine and a half, it makes it interesting. So let's go to the other quarterback that people are talking about many projected to the giants including you at sixth Wayne Haskins. You said something interesting to me earlier, you said that that Sam darnold. Did you say Sam darnold would've sorry? Josh Rosen would've graded out as the best quarterback in this draft to me Dwayne Haskins looks like a better prospect than Josh Rosen or even probably Sam darnold does not as mobile as Sam darnold. How what do you think of where does Haskins rate and all this? Why wouldn't you give him a great underwear? Josh Rosen was less. Year. Well, they were better quarterbacks coming out. I think that those guys were elite we had talked to years ago about those guys even before they were in the draft that they would have come out earlier. They would have been highly. They were they were considered special. And they said back in August prior to those kids coming out last year that in August that it wouldn't set up well for those and they were Josh Allen, Los everything around them. Sam darnold loss a lot around him. And Josh Rosen was that UCLA where they didn't have a ton of talent. So it wasn't set up for those guys to live up to all the hype in terms of the numbers and the way they were expected to take over and dominate gains and be spectacular. So people were kind of wondering over radium. No, you weren't there. Great quarterbacks. And I thought the people in the league is that these guys this year be thankful if you're those teams you got those quarterbacks they're better and every team in the first round from Lamar Jackson won the Baker and everybody in between those guys are thrilled to have. And they don't have to worry about this Dwayne Haskins a one year starter. That's it. And he had a little trouble struggles rowing the Penn State game. But I like the fact he got better. He learned a seems like he's going to be all in to be a quarterback. He loves the challenge and the pressure that comes from being a quarterback. But so criticism of him to say those guys better those guys were considered super elite and special entities for a two year period. So that's not a critique Dwayne Haskins or or taking a shot. Joe Dwayne Haskins on that's a fair thing to say those three. And then you throw Baker Mayfield John Dorsey number one. Look what happened. He emailed that pick. They can own that division for the next ten years because of this draft and because of getting Baker Mayfield Bubills love Josh ninety five and five they weren't a games. He started to finish. You can Nate Sam darnold. Look what he did in the last month of the season. Look around more Jackson games. He wants those teams guys are thrilled that they know they got the right quarterback for a long long time. And hopefully for Baltimore. Lamar Jackson the passing has improved. But from from winning, and the attitude they're all in on the March access by those teams are really happy where they are right now quarterback
