[00:00:00] Speaker A: Wvuafm, tuscaloosa.
[00:00:11] Speaker B: We are back. You are listening to the student section. NFL on WVUA 90.7, the capstone. I'm your host, Jalen Brooks, and I'm joined by my co host, Tanner Thompson.
[00:00:22] Speaker A: What up?
[00:00:24] Speaker B: Connor Rolls.
[00:00:25] Speaker C: Hello. Hello.
[00:00:26] Speaker B: And Evan Cisneris.
Sorry. I thought I heard some feedback. It was.
[00:00:30] Speaker A: You're good, man.
[00:00:31] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm just. There we go. This is the speaker.
[00:00:33] Speaker A: I just want to make in studio speakers a little bit.
[00:00:36] Speaker B: Yeah, there's like. There's an echo in here. And I thought I heard you.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: My voice is just really loud.
[00:00:41] Speaker B: That's what I was saying. That's it. I heard you from over there, but you were also sounding like you were.
[00:00:45] Speaker A: Right behind my ears, because I also am.
[00:00:47] Speaker B: Yes. I was a little freaked out, but. Okay. Back on track. But, man, it's good to be back in the studio. It's been a while since we talked to NFL.
[00:00:54] Speaker C: Oh, I know. Last week it was the weather. The weather canceled everything.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:00:57] Speaker B: Tornado watch, tornadoes.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: Alabama, man.
[00:01:01] Speaker C: Gotta love it.
[00:01:01] Speaker A: I get a lot of those around here.
[00:01:03] Speaker B: I mean, hey, you never know. We could end up in Kansas.
[00:01:06] Speaker A: They don't actually don't end up in Kansas, you know. You know what the line is?
[00:01:10] Speaker B: No, to be honest, I've never seen it.
[00:01:12] Speaker C: We're not in Kansas.
[00:01:13] Speaker A: We're not. The line is, we're not in Kansas anymore. That's the whole point, that they're not.
[00:01:17] Speaker B: Maybe in Alabama.
[00:01:19] Speaker A: Maybe they know. Or Oz.
[00:01:21] Speaker C: But, you know, it could be the same place.
[00:01:23] Speaker B: We got it.
[00:01:24] Speaker A: We got it. We gotta get you to watch.
[00:01:25] Speaker B: I guess I should.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: Wizard of Oz.
[00:01:26] Speaker B: I guess I should really sit down.
[00:01:27] Speaker A: Isn't it like, the first ever movie in color?
[00:01:30] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:01:30] Speaker A: I think it is.
[00:01:31] Speaker B: I don't know.
[00:01:31] Speaker A: You know, they used asbestos, pure asbestos, for the snow in that movie.
[00:01:35] Speaker B: That must have been a wonderful choice health wise.
[00:01:38] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah. I can't imagine, like, just submitting myself to that. But.
[00:01:42] Speaker A: Well, I mean, they didn't know at the time, to be fair. They were like, oh, this. This stuff looked like snow.
[00:01:46] Speaker B: This is the effects of Oz.
[00:01:47] Speaker A: Exactly. They didn't even. They didn't even know that. Nobody knew asbestos was bad at that time. But.
[00:01:54] Speaker D: They painted the tin man all in lead.
[00:01:57] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:01:57] Speaker C: Leg I.
[00:01:58] Speaker A: With actual head paint also.
[00:02:00] Speaker B: Do you.
[00:02:00] Speaker A: Did y'all remember that the. The scarecrow just has a gun in that movie?
[00:02:03] Speaker C: He does.
[00:02:04] Speaker A: He does. He straight up just has a six shooter on the whole time.
[00:02:07] Speaker C: He should have used that against the witch.
[00:02:10] Speaker A: I mean, I don't know, water clue against the witch.
[00:02:13] Speaker C: I just probably know water did.
[00:02:15] Speaker A: You would think they've developed a way to. Also, no one else has a gun in that movie, so. Yeah, so maybe she's not protected against guns. Who knows?
[00:02:22] Speaker C: I mean, also the little bat monkey things that are flying around.
[00:02:26] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:27] Speaker C: Just, you know, was there.
[00:02:29] Speaker A: I can't think of the actual name for him.
[00:02:30] Speaker C: Yeah, I can't remember the name either.
[00:02:32] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:33] Speaker B: Well, going back to football.
[00:02:36] Speaker C: What, you mean this is a movie show now?
[00:02:41] Speaker B: Well, it is the off season and things section.
[00:02:43] Speaker A: Film edition, actually.
[00:02:45] Speaker B: That doesn't sound like too bad of an idea. I like that.
[00:02:47] Speaker C: Just actual, like NFL fam and not movies.
[00:02:50] Speaker A: Yeah. Unless we actually does sound like a good idea. I would love to do that, but.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: Hey, but we digress.
[00:02:56] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:02:56] Speaker B: So I guess we should get into the big news of the offseason so far. I mean, within the last couple weeks. Let's go ahead and talk about Stefan Diggs. That Stefan Diggs trade. Evan, I'm going to start off with you because you're the, you know, you're the Dolphins fan. They're right in there. Right in your division. So the bills, your reaction?
[00:03:13] Speaker D: Finally. Finally. I have not had hope to win the division ever. I don't think I've ever thought that the Dolphins were going to win the division in my whole life. And it's the gates. They're opening up. Patriots. Awful. Bills. Patriots could be good soon. Bills, they're on the downturn.
[00:03:33] Speaker C: Jets, they just got Hassan Reddick. That demons.
[00:03:37] Speaker A: I would not feel good about the jets next year, but I'm not confident.
[00:03:41] Speaker D: In the jets ever that the jets are gonna jet.
[00:03:43] Speaker C: That's also very true, but it's looking up.
[00:03:48] Speaker D: Dolphins winning the AFC east.
[00:03:49] Speaker C: Call it. Now that jets team looks scary if Aaron Rodgers does play.
[00:03:53] Speaker A: Yeah, that dude's just got to be on the field, man. Yeah, it's. That team is screwed without him.
[00:03:58] Speaker B: And don't forget, like, you know, so early in the draft, like, rumors. So you never know what the Patriots could do since they do hold that third overall pick.
[00:04:06] Speaker A: And you also never know what the Bills could do.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: That's true.
[00:04:08] Speaker C: They did. The Bills did cut literally everybody on defense besides the guy that did not get a single tackle last season, Von Miller.
[00:04:17] Speaker A: It's because he's on that ridiculous contract.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: I know.
[00:04:19] Speaker A: Two more years, three more years.
[00:04:20] Speaker C: He got that huge contract, was like, ah, yeah, I don't need to play anymore.
[00:04:24] Speaker A: He got the huge contract and even like, literally like, Madden franchises had him retiring right now and then they signed into a four year contract. It's awesome.
[00:04:32] Speaker B: You know, it's also interesting is, like, during this process, I know, reacting to the bills. I mean, first of all, from texan side of things, what a pickup for CJ Stroud. I mean, like, this is like what I was kind of going into the offseason, I know we started, I kind of pitched the idea of Mike Evans going to Houston. Just, you know, one, it'd be good for him to come home to his hometown team, but also always thought, like, adding a threat like that, an x x factor wide receiver, like a true number one, would be huge. I mean, like, we've talked about the emergence of Nico Collins and Tank Dell. Hopefully he's doing better now and healthy.
[00:05:05] Speaker A: Huge tank Dell fan, man.
[00:05:06] Speaker B: But, man, adding, like, a true whiteout like Stefan Diggs, I think that's only going to help the both of those wide receivers.
[00:05:12] Speaker C: You know, there's one name that we didn't even mention. I mean, I feel like John Metchie has been coming to his own with the Texans. He's starting to pick up a bigger role.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: Yeah. So, I mean, pretty complete room.
[00:05:25] Speaker C: It's a complete whole offense.
[00:05:27] Speaker A: Funny to think about that. Like, the beginning of last season, everyone was terrified of the receiving room because really, mainly because there just wasn't experience, there wasn't snaps, there wasn't, you know, people, there wasn't knowledge behind that receiving core. But, I mean, we saw the way Niko played, Tank played. They were a great receiving doe just by themselves.
[00:05:48] Speaker C: But I think Tank got hurt, but still, Nico.
[00:05:50] Speaker A: Exactly.
[00:05:50] Speaker C: Destroying.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: Exactly. I think Diggs is going to fit in that offense really well. I do hope that I have to imagine that the Texans are had some kind of conversation of like, listen, when they signed him, like, your role was going to be your role, if that makes sense. I'm hoping they didn't try to, like, guarantee him some big part of this offense because that will probably stir poorly in the future because he doesn't have the greatest track record.
[00:06:13] Speaker B: Well, I think the way they set it up. Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
[00:06:15] Speaker A: Very good.
[00:06:15] Speaker B: But I think the way they set it up is like, they voided the rest of his years of his contract. So it's like, kind of like, hey, if this works. Well, I don't know. I think, like, it's more like, if this works out, like, extend you, but this is more like a. We'll see how this.
[00:06:27] Speaker C: I think they wiped all the years off the end and put an option to it.
[00:06:30] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:06:30] Speaker C: So if this is his one year, if, you know, he wants to test for agency, he definitely can. But then also the Texans have a chance to pick up his option and.
But I do think this is just a perfect fit. Stefan Diggs and Nico Collins on the outside with tank Dell in the middle in the slot is going to be insane. You just have Dalton Schultz at tight end who looked very, like, I don't want to say a top. He was a top ten tight end last year, some could say he.
[00:06:56] Speaker B: It's fair to say that. Yeah.
[00:06:58] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:06:58] Speaker C: He played near top five, in my opinion, with some of the injuries to the other tight ends. And then you add, like, guy like Joe Mixon who can do everything out of the back. I think that's a big upgrade than over Devin Singletary.
[00:07:09] Speaker B: And I completely forgot about, like, Joe Mixon just the other day. I mean, like, you think about everything that they've added this offseason, man. I think Texans have to be up there for winners of the offseason.
[00:07:18] Speaker C: Oh, without a doubt.
[00:07:19] Speaker A: What are their, have they made a line additions?
[00:07:22] Speaker B: They made. They added Danielle Hunter or offensive line?
[00:07:25] Speaker A: Excuse me.
[00:07:26] Speaker C: I can look, right. I can't think of any.
[00:07:29] Speaker A: None of the time. They've still got Shaq Mason and Manly Tunsil. It's still a soft juice.
[00:07:34] Speaker B: Scruggs.
[00:07:35] Speaker A: Yeah.
I imagine they'll probably draft someone.
[00:07:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:07:39] Speaker A: I mean, especially depending on who's available, obviously. But there's a lot of, there's a lot of guys to choose from, in my opinion. Especially with where I imagine they'll sit, which is like around the 20 range, I have to guess. Maybe. Maybe in the high teens.
[00:07:51] Speaker B: I think they took. They traded the 23rd pick to the Vikings, did they not?
[00:07:54] Speaker C: Okay. I'm pretty sure. I thought it was the Cardinals.
[00:07:58] Speaker A: It sounds.
[00:07:59] Speaker B: I don't think that was the Cardinals. I think that was the Texans, but I think the Cardinals was the Nard mock draft in which I did that, if that makes sense. But you might be right. I have to go double check that, but. Well, Connor is searching that up. Let me ask you guys, Evan Tanner.
[00:08:13] Speaker C: The Texans did not make signing to the O line, so it's the same O line.
[00:08:17] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:08:18] Speaker B: We're hearing more. What's more obvious, that the bills might go with the wide receiver in the first round. So we're hearing rumors of, like, you know, some of the guys that they're bringing in for their top 30 visits, whether it be Adani Mitchell, Brian Thomas, you know, Jaden Daniels and Malik. Neighbors were on Instagram live and they were saying a fan asked him where they think Brian Thomas is going and they said the bills. So out of all these names, out of the wide receiver core and most likely who's going to be there, which white receiver do you think fits best for that system?
[00:08:46] Speaker A: For Josh Allen, I think my personal favorite would probably be ad Mitchell.
[00:08:52] Speaker D: I agree.
[00:08:53] Speaker A: I think ad Mitchell just kind of. I think he can fill into any role faster. That means incredibly talented, you know, six four, super athletic. I think I would like him as a basis, if that makes any sense, than some of the other guys I've seen. Like, I've seen people mock Xavier worthy of the bills, and I just don't think it's going to happen because, one, I also don't think you don't want Xavier worthy as your only talented receiver. Not, I really shouldn't say only talented receiver, but I also believe in, like, Khalil Shakira, for example. He's still on that roster and I think he's a very good player, especially in a slot kind of role. So that's why I think ad Mitchell is. You want to get someone who is, you know, Stefan Diggs esque of a natural route runner, big, great hands, and yeah, I think it's a easy choice.
[00:09:40] Speaker C: So y'all were right, it was a Texans, not the Cardinals. But I agree. I do think you can't. I don't. It would make no sense, in my opinion, to draft Xavier worthy in the first round if you were the bills, just because you have Curtis, Samuel, Khalil, Shakur Shakir and then Matt Collins, who kind of all do the same thing. I mean, Matt Collins is a little bit taller. He's more of a vertical threat than an actual, like, speed route runner kind of that stuff.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: Right.
[00:10:01] Speaker C: But if you just add Xavier worthy, it's the same kind of. It's like what the Panthers had, just opposite where they were all just possession receivers also.
[00:10:09] Speaker A: I mean, Xavier Worthy, he's not going to be a wide receiver, one in this league. Yeah, I don't think I really, I get that he is very fast and he's also very good in college, but I think there's a reason that he's being mocked. Mocked outside of the first round a lot.
[00:10:23] Speaker C: So we can also say, like, there's a lot of guys we did not expect to be like, a first rounder who turns out to be one of the top receivers in the draft. So maybe Xavier Worthy can be that number one, but not with the Bills, who have three of the same archetype receiver, which then, like I. You said, I would like them to go, Mitchell.
[00:10:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:10:41] Speaker B: Okay. Well, let's talk about another team that Evan brought up. You're talking about your division rival and the Patriots. Now, there's been some rumors about what they're going to do at that number three spot. Now, I could ask you the questions just real quick. Do you guys prefer may or Daniels? And before we get. But before you get to that, what do you guys think about this rumor out there? There's a j like I talked about earlier, Jaden Daniels and Malik neighbors. They were on Instagram live and answering questions. Now, Malik neighbors kind of hinted out there's a possibility that Jaden Daniels could be reaching out, reaching out, reconnecting with his old homie. There's a lot of speculation to what that means. It could mean nothing. It is draft talk, right? Exactly that it could be. Some were saying it's Antonio peers. Some are saying, don't forget, hey, Brandon Ayuk is unhappy with the 49, 49 ers and he's looking for a way out. And he, and either with a new contract or just a draft trade scenario. Now you think about the Patriots. They kind of have a lot to offer and they desperately need wide receiver help. Now Daniel's to the Patriots with Brandon Iuke. I'm not. Is that something you could be concerned about?
[00:11:44] Speaker D: As a football fan, I would love that. As a Dolphins fan, I'd be worried about. I'm not going to say dynasty, Patriots, dynasty rekindling or anything, but that would be an exciting young team with bringing that new coach, new culture, an established wide receiver, one with other than Caleb Williams, I think the most dynamic quarterback in draft class, that that would be a team to watch. And I almost want to compare them to the Texans just in like a young team that could burst up in the scene in one or two years very quickly.
[00:12:17] Speaker C: So, yes, as a football fan, that would be an insane move to grab Brandon Iuke and you can get your quarterback, quarterback like Jayden Daniels and stuff like that. But let's look at the past with the Patriots. Do they make any of these moves? I know it's a new head coach and not Bill Belichick, but it's. It's still the same ownership.
[00:12:34] Speaker B: New GM, though.
[00:12:35] Speaker A: Yeah, but I mean, yeah, it's a new GM.
[00:12:36] Speaker C: I know. It's just. It could be something. I just don't see the Patriots doing something like that. I could see the only way is out. You said what?
[00:12:43] Speaker D: I think the Patriot way is out there in with new, completely new culture.
[00:12:47] Speaker C: I do think that. I think they could do something, but I do think they will definitely draft a quarterback at three. They won't trade down and then they'll pick another receiver if they're like second pick, second round pick or something like that. Just because mean, do they really have anything to offer besides picks?
[00:13:06] Speaker B: They have second round pick. But also, let's not forget 49 ers a couple years ago. Who was it? D four. They couldn't afford d Ford anymore, so what do they do? They traded D for it for a second round pick. And I forget what they did, what team that was, but they used that second round pick, if I'm not mistaken, to help move up to get that third overall pick.
[00:13:23] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:13:24] Speaker B: If I'm not mistaken, I can go back and double check. Maybe Evan can check for us. But that would make sense. I'm just saying they have a chance of history repeating itself. I wouldn't be surprised if the Patriots have the best offer.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. I just think there might be better teams like the Raiders who could offer something. Imagine putting Devontae Adams and Brandon iuke together. And then you mentioned Jayden Daniels and Malik neighbors on the same thing, like instagram live and stuff. And talking about the Raiders. I don't see it happening just because, I mean, you're telling me you're going to be able to land Jaden Daniels, Emily neighbors in the same draft when you only have the 13th overall pick? I mean, yeah, I know you can definitely trade up with other stuff, but I just don't see them giving all that resources away for a quarterback that you're gonna draft right now and then more receiver help, stuff like that. I think you're, you would have to, if you're gonna trade all that away, you're gonna have to go for more established receivers, that of someone who's just.
[00:14:20] Speaker B: Yeah, and I get that. And I was gonna also gonna ask you, because the only reason I threw that out there as a potential possibilities because one, you know, them saying that his old homie, which means, I figure they might still have some chemistry there. IU can Daniels, but going back to, like you said, you think the Patriots are definitely going to go with a quarterback. So let me ask you, let's have open this conversation back up. Which quarterback would you like to see going to the Patriots?
[00:14:43] Speaker C: Going to the Patriots. I would say I kind of would like Jaden Daniels going to the Patriots.
Just mix it up. I know. Like I was saying before, it's not a very patriot thing to do. But, you know, like Evan said, the Patriot culture is out, I guess the old culture. So it's gonna be nice. I know.
Forget the head coach's name.
[00:15:05] Speaker B: Jarod Mayo.
[00:15:06] Speaker C: Jarod Mayo. That's right. I know he said he wants like a mobile quarterback, if I'm not mistaken. So I think that would be a good pickup for them.
If he can learn how to protect himself from the QB, from big hits.
[00:15:16] Speaker A: He has to.
[00:15:17] Speaker C: He has to. He won't last long if he's got.
[00:15:21] Speaker A: He's got some. He's got some Johnny Knoxville to his game, man. Do you guys know what Johnny Knoxville is? Yeah, it's actually insane, the situations that he puts himself in. And I will say that part of that does really hurt my projection for him. I was going to ask where you guys have him falling in the. In the first round. Obviously, I imagine I'll go in the first round, but. But if I'm a team sitting the top ten or I guess especially with the Patriots, like your, like your question. I'd probably rather have Drake May.
[00:15:54] Speaker C: I mean that I'm saying Drake May is probably going to go second. That's why I said, okay, I guess that's fine.
[00:16:00] Speaker B: I think Daniels might go after McCarthy. I know that might be a really.
[00:16:05] Speaker A: I think it's very realistic.
[00:16:07] Speaker C: I could see Jaden Daniels having a similar fall to Justin Fields.
[00:16:10] Speaker A: I could see. I could see him falling on the top ten. I honestly think I could.
[00:16:14] Speaker D: I would love that. I would love to see him on the Raiders.
[00:16:17] Speaker B: That would be fun.
[00:16:18] Speaker C: Oh, I.
[00:16:19] Speaker D: Raiders, giants or patriots of three teams.
[00:16:21] Speaker C: I want Jaden, not the Giants, anything.
Not a Giants again. I mean, if Jaden Daniels can't protect himself, maybe, like, there's a. Maybe we do want him on the Giants, on a man with Jake.
[00:16:32] Speaker A: Like, we can't protect himself very well. But also there's. There are legitimate problems to his game. Like, he doesn't target the middle of the field well. And, dude, in the NFL, if you can't. If you can't consistently hit throws in the middle of the field and push your team down the field, you are like, you're not going to be successful as a quarterback. I think it's almost. I think it's necessary. I'm not going to make this comp at all because he has far different tools and is better in a lot of aspects, but big reason that Zach Wilson didn't work out. He had the arm talent. He could make every throw in the field, but he wasn't confident enough and could not read well enough the middle of the field to be able to make plays there. And that's pretty much all that Jayden Daniels has done in college. He'll add a lot to the running game. But I think, I think you may be a little bit limited in terms of your passing game with Jay Daniels at quarterback.
[00:17:21] Speaker B: And I agree with you. And honestly, your comparison to Zach Wilson, that's not what you want to, you want to be too ecstatic if you hear that comparison.
[00:17:30] Speaker A: Not the ideal comparison nowadays.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: Yeah. But speaking of a New York Jet. We got a jet. You are listening to the student section NFL on WVUA 90.7 the Capstan.
[00:17:48] Speaker A: WVUAFm Tuscaloosa.
[00:18:00] Speaker B: And we are back here listening to the student section NFL on WVUA 90.7, the capstone. This conversation is getting a little hot and heavy right now. Talking about MLB, hot and heavy, a little spicy. There we go. That's all I meant.
[00:18:15] Speaker C: I don't know if that's much better.
[00:18:17] Speaker B: Maybe not. Probably not.
[00:18:18] Speaker A: It's pretty lateral, but we'll keep going.
[00:18:21] Speaker B: Right next to it. Right adjacent. So I guess getting back into some NFL talk, where do you guys want to lead off? There's still so much we give.
[00:18:27] Speaker C: We talked about the Jets a lot, but we haven't talked about how Hassan Reddick just went to the jets. And I feel like how that makes them just a scary defense before.
[00:18:37] Speaker A: Yes.
[00:18:37] Speaker C: Makes them so much better.
[00:18:39] Speaker A: Yeah. Because having the defense I had before and then having Will McDonald and Hasan Reddick opposite each other on the line.
[00:18:46] Speaker C: It'S going to be crazy.
[00:18:48] Speaker A: Not forget they're 30 00:32 30 to zero.
[00:18:52] Speaker D: Dolphins put up 30 points without their starters in.
[00:18:55] Speaker A: Aaron Rodgers wasn't on the field. What are we doing?
[00:18:58] Speaker C: You had Zach Wilson gifting y'all.
He was taking 30 points.
[00:19:04] Speaker D: That's all I gotta say.
[00:19:05] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:19:05] Speaker D: Defense is, sorry, the jets. The Jets are bad anyway.
[00:19:10] Speaker B: Without the Dolphins bias aside, yeah, I do think the jets are going to make a little bit of a deeper run than last year. Hopefully Aaron Rodgers can definitely stay healthy.
[00:19:19] Speaker C: Well, he's not on the campaign anymore, so he should play.
[00:19:23] Speaker A: He's no longer a potential vice president, so.
[00:19:25] Speaker B: Which is a crazy statement to even say it to begin with. But now that he might resume his.
[00:19:31] Speaker C: Duties as a quarterback, not might, he will, we think. Yeah, I forgot.
[00:19:37] Speaker A: The question is how long will be.
[00:19:39] Speaker B: Playing quarterback until he gets bored. But. So let me ask you guys this. There's rumors of like, you know, I think I've mentioned it last week a little bit about there being some turmoil in the front office about Robert Salaam and the Woody. Speaking of vice president candidates, though, jets owner. Oh, yeah.
But also there's a little bit of turmoil between Robert Sala and Woody I for blanking on his last name for some reason. What'd you say, Evan?
[00:20:07] Speaker A: Woody Johnson.
[00:20:08] Speaker B: Woody Johnson. There we go. Thank you. Whether what? Whether what side of the ball they should use this draft pick on for the 10th overall pick. Whether they should be Robert Salomon to defensive player. But Woody Johnson, potential VP candidate, wants a piece on the offensive side of the ball.
[00:20:24] Speaker C: Well, I know they were highly upset once Bryce Huff left. I'm pretty sure Robert Salla, somebody came out and said how they were like, yeah. Distraught how they lost him because he was a great edge, great pass rusher. Great.
[00:20:38] Speaker B: Still raw.
[00:20:39] Speaker C: Yeah, raw. But a great attacker off the ball.
[00:20:41] Speaker B: Only 25 years old, too.
[00:20:44] Speaker A: I wonder why they like this guy so much. I wonder why we're such big Bryce Huff fans on this show.
[00:20:49] Speaker C: But, you know, everyone is upset. You know, to fill that void is going to be pretty difficult. And then.
[00:20:55] Speaker A: Yeah, where is he. Where is he going again, by the way?
[00:20:57] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure Philadelphia.
[00:20:58] Speaker A: Oh, really? Awesome.
[00:21:00] Speaker B: Wait, Bryce Huff is the Philadelphia Eagle?
[00:21:02] Speaker A: Oh, my God.
[00:21:03] Speaker C: You mean a guy that played 42% of the snaps and still had over ten sacks?
[00:21:07] Speaker A: Wait, this is so painfully obvious.
[00:21:09] Speaker B: Did Howie Roseman commit another steal?
[00:21:12] Speaker A: Probably not.
[00:21:13] Speaker B: Well, time will tell.
[00:21:15] Speaker A: We've thought Howie Roseman's committed steals before.
[00:21:17] Speaker B: Oh, trust me. He, he has done. But as a great Howie Roseman quote says, you gotta. You gotta do bad deals to know you do. You do good deals.
[00:21:26] Speaker C: I see.
[00:21:27] Speaker A: Been a GM to still be saying that.
[00:21:29] Speaker C: I don't think. I don't think that's the exact quote, but I know it. I know what you're saying.
[00:21:33] Speaker A: You have to have bad deals. That's what he says after every single time he messes up.
[00:21:37] Speaker B: So I think I definitely botched that.
[00:21:39] Speaker C: No, you definitely did. But, I mean, I don't think I.
[00:21:42] Speaker A: Want my GM saying that it is necessary to make bad trades.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: But, hey, well, at least we didn't sign Adam Thielen and DJ chark when they were.
[00:21:49] Speaker B: Well, Adam Thielen had a great year.
[00:21:52] Speaker A: That's. Adam Thielen did have a good year. And that's really because he's the only man who was capable of having a good year on that roster.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: I was trying to.
[00:22:00] Speaker C: I just don't want.
I just don't want GM slender coming.
[00:22:03] Speaker A: From that was scott Federer? Respectfully, I don't have. Scott Federer is not my gm anymore. Oh, no, it's dan Morgan.
[00:22:09] Speaker B: So who was fist bumping all his players as they arrived to train?
[00:22:13] Speaker A: Because he's cool.
[00:22:13] Speaker C: Yeah, just like Jonathan Gannon. But let's get back to the beginning.
[00:22:17] Speaker A: What is that?
[00:22:19] Speaker C: Jonathan Gannon. Remember when he was talking, he's talking.
[00:22:22] Speaker A: About the fire in your gut.
[00:22:24] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:22:26] Speaker B: But coach, do you want to walk the work? You want to travel?
[00:22:30] Speaker A: How do you want to commute?
[00:22:32] Speaker C: I think the jets are definitely going to use their pick on offense now because they got an edge atop the line. Edge who? Some people in the Eagles organization. I don't know how true is this? But they're saying that, you know, Hasan Reddick might have just been chasing sacks for the contract instead of actually, like, setting the edge and doing, I don't say his job, but that's what, that's the reports that I'm hearing.
[00:22:55] Speaker A: I believe you, but why are you laughing? I do.
[00:22:58] Speaker C: It's just I. I do.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Everything we've been saying for the past five minutes in some way has been pro philly, like, like suggesting that.
[00:23:06] Speaker C: I don't want to hear you laugh because you just said 30 to zero.
[00:23:09] Speaker A: On the chance defense Reddick, implying that assault Reddick was chait was stat padding for the sake of his contract to explain that why the team maybe performed a little bit worse.
[00:23:19] Speaker C: No, no, that's not the form. A little bit worse, but that's just why they might have been looking to move on instead of paying him the top of the line edge money that he wanted. Don't get me wrong, I still wish Hasan Reddick was on my team.
[00:23:30] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:23:30] Speaker C: But I think he's going to do great things in New York. Well, I guess New Jersey, since that's where they play, because it's just stupid. Like, I don't just play in New York, but interesting.
[00:23:42] Speaker B: Very well noted.
[00:23:43] Speaker C: Yeah, but I do think it's a great pickup. I think Dolphins will not score 30 points to zero again on the jets because they might have a competent offense this year with Mike Williams, Garrett Wilson, Aaron Rodgers. Brie saw who's great and then probably, hopefully Brock Bowers.
[00:24:00] Speaker A: I'm hoping that, well, Dallin Cook's a free agent, but it was, you know, how frustrating it was to see Dalvin Cook be on the field with Bries hall on the roster last year?
[00:24:08] Speaker C: Oh, yeah.
[00:24:08] Speaker A: I think Bruce hall deserves, you know, like a confident, like, dominant share of the touches, and it just felt like they were giving Dalvin Cook the ball just cause, you know, I feel like.
[00:24:18] Speaker C: That was beginning the year and then they were like, wait, he's a lot.
[00:24:22] Speaker A: Actually pretty good.
[00:24:24] Speaker C: So let's give him the ball.
[00:24:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:25] Speaker C: And then he like went off.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: So, Connor, you're an Eagles fan?
[00:24:30] Speaker C: Yes. So wait, how'd you know?
[00:24:32] Speaker B: It's an educated guess. So let me ask you, what did you think about the return for Hasan Reddick? I mean, hey, you're getting a conditional third round pick that might turn into a second rounder in 2026 when Aaron Rodgers could be done playing question mark.
[00:24:46] Speaker C: I do think it will become a second rounder. Cause I'm pretty sure it's a conditional if he plays 67% of the snaps this year.
[00:24:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:24:52] Speaker C: And I mean, you're not gonna take.
[00:24:54] Speaker A: That guy out if he's what's meant life stadium.
[00:24:58] Speaker C: Don't say that. But I think the return is good because you looking at what, what's his DJ Burns got? Not DJ Burns.
[00:25:08] Speaker A: DJ Burns.
[00:25:10] Speaker C: Brian Burns.
[00:25:11] Speaker B: NC State.
[00:25:12] Speaker C: What the Panthers got for Brian Burns? A second round picking a fifth round pick.
Guys like legerious need got what, like a second or third and a fifth. It was a third and a fifth. So the market isn't great for some top of the line guys. So you're getting a third, which is going to be a second round pick, hopefully for a 30, 31 year old rusher who just got signed to a three year deal. If I'm sure he got signed as soon as he got traded, I'm pretty sure.
[00:25:38] Speaker A: Probably.
[00:25:38] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:25:38] Speaker C: So I do think it's a. It's a good.
It was a good get. I was expecting a little bit less.
[00:25:46] Speaker A: Yeah, fair.
It's tough to read on. That stuff is with like no matter what, anytime a trade happens, I'm. I feel like I'm always surprised by the, by the return for it for mainly players.
[00:25:58] Speaker C: Like I saw, I had a friend after, I think it was a legerious need trade or something like that. They were like, man, this isn't realistic. Like after the trades, he was like, yeah, I can go on Madden and none of this is happening. I'm like, do you know what realistic means at this point? Like it happens in real life. Not going into Madden, that was the.
[00:26:15] Speaker A: Realistic thing right there.
[00:26:17] Speaker B: So let me ask you guys this. So out of everything that's happened so far this offseason, what's the move that you like the most or that's really caught in you by surprise?
[00:26:27] Speaker C: I don't know, honestly. It might be recency bias, but I really just do love Stefan Diggs. The Texans.
[00:26:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:35] Speaker C: And just the whole offense coming together.
[00:26:37] Speaker B: Special teams, special play.
[00:26:39] Speaker C: Speaking of sketch, I mean, who would have thought like, you guys see him running routes? Yes.
[00:26:45] Speaker B: I mean, I'm sorry, we gotta take a moment just to be like good, good for him.
[00:26:49] Speaker A: Look at him. He is on a special run right now.
[00:26:52] Speaker B: The fact that he was used as a sports center, like intro.
[00:26:56] Speaker C: Yeah, dude, awesome sportsCenter intro. I mean all the like big guy like CJ Stroud and everybody are doing a stuff with him. I mean that. The Phillies double celebration is the Tuesday, Tuesday.
So I think it's crazy how popular he's gotten in this, like. No, it's a short span of time.
[00:27:17] Speaker B: How long do we see sketch until an NFL commercial?
Because it's gonna happen.
[00:27:22] Speaker A: Madden in.
[00:27:23] Speaker C: Yeah, Madden. I don't think NFL, but Madden commercial. But I think he could be in a Super bowl commercial. That, that's very cuz, like, you know how they do like the Super bowl stuff, they just get like celebrities within like, I guess.
[00:27:36] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:27:36] Speaker C: Around the NFL and stuff like that.
[00:27:38] Speaker A: So they know what's good for them and if they know their audience, then I think they'll, they'll get sketching something.
[00:27:44] Speaker C: But the real question, do you think he'll be famous at that point? Not famous, but like still popular. Cuz like right now, I don't know, the way it's going is like mainstream. Mainstream. But I know a lot of people who are mainstream who get mainstream this quick. Fall off pretty quick too.
[00:27:59] Speaker B: So can you give us examples?
[00:28:01] Speaker C: I mean, like speed, he kind of fell off. I know.
[00:28:04] Speaker A: Still, he's still doing some pretty stuff.
[00:28:06] Speaker C: He's still like there, but he's not like in the mainstream media. That's true all the time.
[00:28:09] Speaker B: Well, you just got arcade last night.
[00:28:11] Speaker C: That's the most media I've seen of him since 2022.
[00:28:16] Speaker B: I mean, I know you're not wrong, but speaking of Philly, how is that.
[00:28:20] Speaker A: Speaking of, how on earth is that speaking?
[00:28:23] Speaker C: How do we get back to Philly?
[00:28:24] Speaker B: Because, you know, I said got arcade. WrestleMania was. Oh, okay, yeah, so transition it, you know, but anyway, I'm just saying. Great show, great show. I really want to say that we at some point we all need to take a moment and please explain to me what this storyline's happening. I don't know what it is, but I know I like it. So when we come back from break, maybe you guys can tell me a little bit more about that.
[00:28:45] Speaker C: About what storyline?
[00:28:46] Speaker B: What's happening to WWE. Yeah, I'm very lost.
[00:28:50] Speaker A: It kind of like happened, but yeah, I've just.
[00:28:52] Speaker B: It's been a couple years, you know, and then it's peaked by interest. Yeah, I'm observing from a distance, but I like it. I'm walking closer. I'm trying to get a bigger picture of it.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: And then I'll make my final choice if I want to do it.
[00:29:03] Speaker A: Very detailed.
[00:29:04] Speaker C: All right.
[00:29:05] Speaker A: Allegory for your relationship with the WWE.
[00:29:08] Speaker B: I was just trying to. Anyway, that's where I'm coming from. But more on that when we come back. You were listening to the students NFL on WWA.
[00:29:27] Speaker A: Wvuafm tuscaloosa.
[00:29:38] Speaker B: We are back yearly listening to the student section NFL on WVA 90.7 the Capstan.
[00:29:45] Speaker A: We're back.
[00:29:46] Speaker B: I'm your host, Jalen Brooks. And, you know, I'm still here with all the guys.
[00:29:49] Speaker C: All the guys.
[00:29:50] Speaker A: What's up, man?
[00:29:51] Speaker B: Counter rules. Evan Cisneris. It's a party. Yep.
[00:29:56] Speaker C: All right.
[00:29:58] Speaker B: Sorry, was that.
[00:29:59] Speaker A: It's okay.
[00:29:59] Speaker B: I ruined the vibe.
[00:30:00] Speaker C: No, no, no.
[00:30:01] Speaker A: It wasn't on you. It was on Connor. Really.
[00:30:03] Speaker C: The vibe is great.
[00:30:05] Speaker A: Never better.
[00:30:09] Speaker B: All right, so why don't we get back into some NFL news real quick? Just leading off, there's a lot of rumors still happening in this offseason so far. So is there a rumor out there that's floating around that you want to dig into or just a little bit deeper?
[00:30:24] Speaker C: I do. Like, I'm very interested in where JJ McCarthy goes. You know, the Vikings traded up for him or like if the Vikings will trade up for him, if somebody else I know, I've heard the Giants were interested in him getting Daniel Jones 2.0 or getting like the Vikings getting a quarterback besides, you know, Sam Darnold to throw the ball to Justin Jefferson. So I'm interested in that. Yeah, I. The Vikings don't just trade for another for a second 1st round pick just for no reason.
I don't think they're going to use it. I think they're going to try and trade up, but we'll see.
[00:31:01] Speaker A: Yeah, kind of going off that. I'm really excited to see where Bone and Michael Pennix go.
[00:31:05] Speaker C: That's true.
[00:31:06] Speaker A: I, I do like both. I just. Michael Pennix is. It's tough with him because like watching him, he was really probably one of my favorite quarterbacks, if not the favorite quarterback to watch this past year, just in terms of their foot. It was probably because he had the best football team out of the major quarterbacks, but it's just fun to watch him drop back and zip it down the field. And, you know, I think there's a place for that in the NFL, but it's just about how they view the injury history, how he'll interview, all that stuff. But I would, I really, I would really like to see him be successful on a team.
[00:31:40] Speaker B: We're seeing him, you know, the top 30 visits are happening for these teams right now. We're seeing him get invited to a lot of these teams with first round, like a lot of high mid first round picks. Like the Steelers, for instance, the Seahawks.
[00:31:50] Speaker A: Right.
[00:31:51] Speaker B: I think I want to say that he got an interview with the Raiders as well. I want to say he also got an interview with the Giants. Maybe that was for like their second round pick, but, you know, I think they just traded that. Right. So, yeah, I don't know. It's interesting to see where he's going to fall. Bo Nicks is another name that we've been. Well, I haven't really been hearing much about him, but I've also have been hearing that the Broncos are most likely the link to him. So, you know, Sean Payton, he believes that quarterback is the most essential part of the team. And especially with a guy like you rave about, like Bo Nicks, who is really good at making just beyond the first read, and his arm strength just don't let alone perfect fit for Sean Payton.
[00:32:25] Speaker A: So I think statistically he's like the best first read quarterback in the league. And I'm sure Sean Payton loves the idea of someone who's going to do exactly what Sean Payton tells him to do. Yeah, but yeah, also, I mean, Bo Nicks was. He did not turn the ball over very much at all last season. I camera what the final numbers were, but he didn't have like one, maybe two picks for the whole season. And then he had like, I think he had 333 total then however many touchdowns he had. Insane amount of yards. He had a ridiculous.
[00:32:55] Speaker C: We were talking about this with Bo Nicks and JJ McCarthy comparing stats.
[00:32:59] Speaker B: Right.
[00:32:59] Speaker C: And how, like, I think JJ McCarthy didn't even get to 2000 passing yards.
[00:33:02] Speaker A: Yeah, he was way short or something like that.
[00:33:04] Speaker C: But Bo Nicks had 45 touchdowns, three interceptions and 4500 passing yards.
[00:33:10] Speaker A: That's insane.
[00:33:11] Speaker C: Like, with a QBR of 91.2, which is second in the nation, that's nuts.
[00:33:15] Speaker A: For a whole, I mean, again, 45 touchdowns and three picks over a whole season, that's pretty unbelievable. I'm. I wouldn't be surprised the Broncos walk away with so, like very happy with him.
[00:33:26] Speaker B: Let's say the Broncos just decided to go with another player, which they very well could do. No one really knows what direction they're gonna go in, but.
[00:33:34] Speaker A: Right.
[00:33:35] Speaker B: Where do you think, what's another team that you would like to think that Bo Nicks could fit into their system?
[00:33:40] Speaker C: So I would like the Falcons to draft another quarterback, but I wouldn't, like, want them to draft Bo Nicks just because he's so old.
[00:33:50] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:33:50] Speaker C: You don't want him sitting behind for NFL coming in as a rookie. That's pretty old.
[00:33:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:33:56] Speaker C: But, you know, Kirk Cousins is 36, you know, coming off an Achilles tear. Four year contract, which I think is a big contract, but I don't think he'll finish his career through the contract. So, yeah, I give it a few more years. So I think the Falcons should draft somebody that's more of a project like a.
Not Joe Milton I would like, but even Joe Milton, still old, I would say. Isn't he a little bit. Yeah. So I don't know. But Bo Nicks, I would like to see the Raiders use their pick, like, second round pick for him.
[00:34:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:30] Speaker B: Good fit. And also, there's, I don't know if you guys have heard the rumors, like, the Ramses on other team, they're actually actively trying to look into a quarterback, you know, with Matt Stafford getting older. Right. Recently, uh, they tried to trade for Sam how they really wanted Sam Howell, like, really badly, apparently. But, um, Seattle, they won the offer.
[00:34:49] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:49] Speaker B: And apparently, uh, Sam Howell almost went to another team, but he was seen as the alpha, and, like, he has the alpha mentality, like, he wants to prove himself. So they didn't think that was going to be the right situation. I think it was maybe the Vikings, like, they didn't want him competing with Donald. I'm not really for sure, so don't quote me on that, but.
[00:35:05] Speaker A: So is there gonna be a QB competition in Seattle?
[00:35:09] Speaker B: I mean, at this rate? I would think so, yeah.
[00:35:12] Speaker C: Really?
[00:35:12] Speaker B: I mean, I'm sure you're gonna start Gino.
[00:35:14] Speaker A: Odds are it's Gino, but I imagine there will be a conversation there.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: I think there'll be a conversation like, are you saying there's a conversation happen with you the year or during training camp?
[00:35:23] Speaker B: I think there would definitely be one during training camp.
[00:35:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
Again, they're both. They're both starting quarterbacks. Obviously, Gino's the incumbent, I guess, but. But I don't know. I mean, maybe the. That arm of Sam Howells, something they would. They would like to see. I will say Sam Howells does, you know, not the perfect quarterback and there's a lot of things I like to see improve, but his deep ball accuracy is unbelievable. It's truly like very high up in the terms of the context of the league.
[00:35:52] Speaker C: But I'm not saying this is like, still talking about Geno Smith and same how QB thing. I don't think it's the same level, but it kind of gives me like Jack Prescott and then Trey Lance, like you bring in a guy, a young quarterback who has, you know, showed potential, I guess you could say with the quarterback already proven himself these past few years. So just get him to learn and hopefully he takes that next step.
[00:36:16] Speaker A: The tough. Yeah, Trey Patreon is like the emergency guy in Dallas, technically, I think.
[00:36:21] Speaker C: I thought he was.
[00:36:22] Speaker A: He was the third or fourth QB on the roster.
[00:36:24] Speaker C: I thought he was second. Who was.
[00:36:25] Speaker A: He's not second.
[00:36:26] Speaker B: He's not second. I think he's third.
[00:36:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:36:28] Speaker C: I think they traded for him for him to be the second, but.
[00:36:30] Speaker B: Well, that's what I was. I think, like, this is all part of a tactic. I just think. Don't forget like Dak is.
[00:36:36] Speaker C: I think he's gone after this year.
[00:36:38] Speaker B: I do, too. I think it's all about his contract negotiations and I don't think Dallas, who's already capped out, is going to give him another extension. Don't forget that Dallas is currently dealing with like, rumors of CD holding out, but apparently CD saying he'll be in Dallas, but I. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll be be at the camp.
[00:36:54] Speaker A: Future Panther.
[00:36:55] Speaker B: Yeah, that would be one hose. Yeah.
[00:36:58] Speaker A: Every good receiver I'm going to say.
[00:36:59] Speaker B: Is, as an Eagles fan, I would love for him to get out of Dallas also.
[00:37:03] Speaker C: We haven't even mentioned this really, but one trade I'm looking like I'm looking forward to happening is t Higgins, you know, he requested.
[00:37:10] Speaker A: Is that a certain trade?
[00:37:13] Speaker B: He did request a trade. He know he wants out.
[00:37:16] Speaker A: He wrestled.
[00:37:16] Speaker C: He requested the trade because he was franchise tagged and.
[00:37:19] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:19] Speaker C: So all that kind of stuff, I want to see if it like plays out and I want to see where he would go.
[00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:23] Speaker C: Because I think he's an interesting fit with like the Panthers or something like that.
[00:37:26] Speaker A: Yeah, I I'm obviously, I'd love to have him. I do think we're running out of things to trade. That makes sense at some point, you know, you got to stick to your. Stick to your draft and go from there. But obviously, I'd love to have de Higgins on the Panthers. I've talked about it for a while but it doesn't, it seems slightly less realistic as time goes on.
[00:37:48] Speaker C: Get them on the Patriots. Pedro should be good pickup.
[00:37:51] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: I just feel like you'd be traded to the NFC. Like, I don't think, like, I don't know.
[00:37:55] Speaker A: I just don't think you stay in the AFC.
[00:37:57] Speaker B: I just really don't. Unless you're going to.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: Like, I don't think that.
[00:38:00] Speaker A: I wonder how much they think about that.
[00:38:02] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:38:02] Speaker C: I don't know. The Bengals would trade out a division just because he's not, like, a huge, I don't say cornerstone for them. Like, he's still a great receiver, but I feel like you do that to players that you think highly of, and then, plus, the Bengals are known not to have a great ownership, so, I.
[00:38:17] Speaker B: Mean, we finally have a, I mean, finally built their outdoor practice facility or.
[00:38:23] Speaker C: I mean, I think they'll look at the best offer instead of, like, who's.
Know what I'm saying?
[00:38:29] Speaker B: Yeah, more than likely.
[00:38:30] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:38:30] Speaker B: Also, speaking of, like, ownership, you guys see the news about the Kansas chiefs, you know, might be moving out of Mississippi?
[00:38:39] Speaker C: I'm sorry. Missouri.
[00:38:41] Speaker A: Out of Kansas City?
[00:38:42] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:38:43] Speaker C: Kansas City, Missouri. Yeah.
[00:38:44] Speaker A: That's a possibility.
[00:38:45] Speaker C: No. Yeah. Did you not see that?
[00:38:46] Speaker A: No.
[00:38:47] Speaker C: So the Kansas City Royals and the Kansas City Chiefs put out a video saying, you should put out a video, like, all vote yes on this new tax that are gonna up the tax so they can pay for the new stadium they're gonna build.
[00:39:00] Speaker A: That's kind of crazy.
[00:39:01] Speaker C: If they don't say, if they, like, the bill doesn't get passed, then they're like, then I guess we're just gonna have to leave. And even though they're, like, a, their owners are insanely rich and don't want to build their own stadium.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: I I guess so. I would be so surprised if they moved, man.
[00:39:18] Speaker B: I.
[00:39:18] Speaker A: The people in Kansas City love the Chiefs, man. That is a, that is one of the more diehard fan bases in the NFL. Arrowheads, one of the hardest places to play in the NFL. I I would be crazy surprised if that happened.
[00:39:34] Speaker C: You say that, but I mean, with the NFL PA, report, report cards, they were effing everything except, like, a head coach.
[00:39:42] Speaker A: Wow.
[00:39:43] Speaker C: They had f, ownership, like, f, all that stuff.
[00:39:46] Speaker A: Yeah. I didn't realize that.
Maybe they will, but where are they gonna go? Where would the Chiefs go?
[00:39:51] Speaker C: Kansas, I guess.
[00:39:53] Speaker A: Maybe Kansas back in. So they'd stay in Kansas City and just be part of Kansas instead of Missouri?
[00:39:59] Speaker C: I mean, like, they're moving states.
[00:40:02] Speaker A: Their facility wouldn't change. Isn't that the whole point?
[00:40:05] Speaker B: The Dallas mayor said he wants them back in Dallas.
[00:40:08] Speaker A: If they go to Dallas, I might stop watching the NFL. That would make me. That would hurt my. I don't know. I. Ownership in the NFL is already, you know, people have such a bad relationship with it in general. If they put another team in Dallas, you know, instead of, you know, there are plenty of other cities that are deserving of football teams. It's. I don't know. That would be. That would be a bummer.
[00:40:29] Speaker B: Like Richmond, California.
[00:40:32] Speaker A: Sure.
[00:40:33] Speaker B: Just a name of thread.
[00:40:34] Speaker C: I like, I don't know, you know, Oakland.
Oakland. I would like to see you get a team back.
[00:40:39] Speaker B: But Seattle.
[00:40:40] Speaker C: Seattle already has a team.
I would like, you know, why not.
[00:40:45] Speaker A: Just say, are you thinking about what team it is?
[00:40:49] Speaker B: Sorry. Yeah, I did.
[00:40:50] Speaker C: Wait, what?
[00:40:52] Speaker A: You could see in his eyes that he was thinking about, like you said, seattle has a team. He's like, huh?
[00:40:57] Speaker C: I mean, like the team that you did interview for Sam Howell.
[00:41:00] Speaker A: To Sam?
[00:41:02] Speaker B: Yeah, I'm sorry. I just like, you know, I was thinking NBA.
[00:41:05] Speaker A: You're good, man. Happens.
[00:41:06] Speaker B: I was like, there's not a NBA team in Seattle. Then I realized, NFL. Sorry.
[00:41:10] Speaker D: NBA team in Seattle. They could also move to Oklahoma City. Team up with the old Seattle team.
[00:41:15] Speaker A: There you go. Oklahoma City deserves a full team.
[00:41:18] Speaker D: Stay in the. Stay in the Midwest area.
[00:41:21] Speaker A: Yeah.
That's better than going to Kansas City, Iowa. Better than going to Kansas City, Kansas, instead of Kansas City, Missouri.
[00:41:28] Speaker C: I mean, it's a whole different state. So they have like, different tax.
[00:41:31] Speaker A: Do you know where Kansas City is?
[00:41:32] Speaker C: It's in Missouri.
[00:41:33] Speaker A: It's in both. It's on the border of each state. There's a Kansas city, Kansas, and there's Kansas City, Missouri.
[00:41:39] Speaker C: I know that. I'm saying. But they're on the Missouri side. I thought so.
[00:41:42] Speaker A: So you think they should go to the other side? Are they gonna get more money from the state of Kansas than they will from Missouri? I would be astounded if that was the case.
[00:41:50] Speaker C: I don't know.
[00:41:50] Speaker B: Can't.
[00:41:51] Speaker A: Missouri has St. Louis and. Well, really just St. Louis and Kansas City, but Kansas has Kansas City.
[00:41:59] Speaker B: Hey. And was Oz.
[00:42:04] Speaker A: And Oz.
[00:42:05] Speaker C: And Oz.
[00:42:07] Speaker A: I would be very down for the Kansas City chiefs to move to Oz.
I would fully support that.
[00:42:14] Speaker C: My favorite thing is when someone brought a sign, it was like some fan or whatever. They're like, we're not in Kansas anymore. And like, you're not really in Kansas right now watching the game. So I thought it was just funny.
My bad, guys.
[00:42:27] Speaker A: No, you're all good.
[00:42:30] Speaker B: I'm just thinking about like, you know, if it, you know, if Oz was.
[00:42:34] Speaker A: A place, hypothetically, what would they have.
[00:42:38] Speaker C: Witches in warlocks.
[00:42:43] Speaker A: About their mascot? Yeah, probably the wizards, right?
No, the movie's called the wizard of Oz.
Thank you, Evan.
[00:42:56] Speaker C: But like, who's the wizard in the wizard of Oz?
[00:43:01] Speaker D: Oz.
[00:43:02] Speaker C: Yeah, but Oz is not a wizard.
[00:43:04] Speaker A: Yeah, he is, but they think he's.
[00:43:05] Speaker C: A wizard, but they find out he's not when there's actual witches there.
[00:43:09] Speaker A: Right, but the name. The name.
[00:43:11] Speaker C: Sorry for spoiling a movie that was made in 1930s.
[00:43:15] Speaker B: Haven't had time to watch it.
[00:43:17] Speaker A: I haven't had time. That's on you, man. That's not our fault.
[00:43:20] Speaker B: I need a couple more.
[00:43:22] Speaker A: If you're getting the first ever movie in color spoiled, that is only. Only your fault. Only yours.
[00:43:28] Speaker B: I just haven't had time.
[00:43:30] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[00:43:30] Speaker B: I need a couple more. Hundred years.
Just a little bit more.
[00:43:34] Speaker A: Fair enough.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: Well, with that being said, we got just a little bit of time left. So I just want to ask you guys, is there anything that we feel like we haven't really covered enough or shed enough light on?
[00:43:44] Speaker C: Where should Kansas City move? If they're not gonna go there, it's not gonna stay.
[00:43:48] Speaker B: Hey, hey. You know, we talked about this on the Crimson case. Montreal.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Montreal.
[00:43:55] Speaker C: That was on this?
No, that was on the students, actually, cuz that's when you said you thought it was in like Spain or something.
[00:44:01] Speaker B: No, this is the Crimson case. But yes, I was.
[00:44:03] Speaker A: I'm pretty sure I remember this. I'm pretty sure.
[00:44:04] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, he wasn't here. The Crimson case, it was.
[00:44:06] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:44:07] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:44:08] Speaker C: We were like, so where should it NBC NBA team go? And he was talking. It was. He was talking about like, yeah, Montreal. I'm like, you know, they already have a team in like Canada and stuff like that. They're like, oh, I thought it was in Spain or something.
[00:44:18] Speaker B: I said that off air.
[00:44:19] Speaker A: Yeah, he said that off air, exposing jail.
[00:44:23] Speaker B: Montreal, Madrid. I got him confused.
[00:44:25] Speaker A: It sounds a little. Sounds a little Spanish. Montreal.
[00:44:28] Speaker B: That's what I was thinking.
[00:44:29] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, you know, I understand that, but so where.
[00:44:32] Speaker C: So, you know, NBA's talking about like, expansion teams, you know that. Where would you think an NFL expansion team and what cities saying everything's gonna stay the same. And St. Louis.
[00:44:42] Speaker A: So you're just adding.
[00:44:44] Speaker B: Yeah, go back to St. Louis.
[00:44:46] Speaker D: How many would we be adding to?
[00:44:48] Speaker B: Probably just.
[00:44:49] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:44:50] Speaker B: So St. Louis would definitely my first vote.
[00:44:52] Speaker C: Really.
[00:44:53] Speaker B: I think they still have like, like half their sporting events even for the XFL, if I'm not mistaken, are always sold out.
[00:44:59] Speaker A: Really?
[00:44:59] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:45:00] Speaker C: Like, very senselessly, I would say. I would like to see Alabama, but I was about, I want Alabama just to say college football because I think it's just so big with Alabama Auburn. I don't want them going back to having them root for the same team because then you have common ground, and I don't want, you know, a hated rivalry to have common ground.
[00:45:15] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:45:16] Speaker C: I want somebody just to absolutely hate somebody.
[00:45:20] Speaker B: Well, I could see, like, I could.
[00:45:22] Speaker A: See like a Nashville edition. I know there's a team in Tennessee, but Nashville's a very big city, so that's. I'm one of the bigger cities probably without a. Without a basketball team, I have to imagine.
[00:45:35] Speaker D: Are we talking basketball?
[00:45:36] Speaker C: No, we're talking football.
[00:45:38] Speaker A: Oh, football, yeah, my bad. You start with NBA expansion, I think.
[00:45:40] Speaker B: Oh, did you?
[00:45:41] Speaker D: I think on that same track, though, we could go Memphis for football.
[00:45:44] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah, that would make sense.
[00:45:46] Speaker C: I could see that.
Trying to think. You know, we could say it's somewhere like North Dakota. South Dakota.
[00:45:53] Speaker B: I would.
[00:45:56] Speaker A: Need an NFL team.
[00:45:58] Speaker C: Well, I mean, I feel like that part is just remote.
[00:46:01] Speaker A: Nobody.
[00:46:01] Speaker C: Nobody knows it.
Nobody knows anything about that. Like, I know they know, like some stuff, but it's not like a talked about thing. So, like, why not bring something that brings in money, you know?
[00:46:12] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:46:13] Speaker C: The guys, the people that live up there, you know, you can go to a game or something.
[00:46:16] Speaker B: Do you know what happens in North Dakota?
[00:46:17] Speaker C: No.
[00:46:18] Speaker B: Me either.
[00:46:19] Speaker C: What's that?
So let's bring there and maybe people know more about it. Sorry. Uh, people that live in that area.
[00:46:28] Speaker A: I love how he's referring to the state because he can't think of a city. No, in the Dakotas.
[00:46:32] Speaker B: Oh, yeah.
[00:46:33] Speaker A: St. Pierre.
[00:46:34] Speaker B: No, North Dakota.
[00:46:35] Speaker C: Uh oh, is it mouth Mount Rushmore in South Dakota?
[00:46:39] Speaker A: Yes. Yes.
[00:46:40] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:46:41] Speaker B: I was gonna say. So where's Bowling Green State?
[00:46:45] Speaker A: Bowling green state?
[00:46:46] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:46:47] Speaker A: I don't like it. Yeah. Cuz bowling greens in Kentucky, right? Yeah, I imagine.
[00:46:51] Speaker B: I feel like that's the school. I was probably. I was.
[00:46:55] Speaker C: No, no, it's in Ohio. Colin Green, Ohio.
[00:46:59] Speaker B: I thought it was maybe up there anyway. Yeah. I don't know anything about North Dakota other than Carson went.
[00:47:04] Speaker C: There's.
[00:47:04] Speaker B: Oh, that's really all I know.
[00:47:08] Speaker C: Does Ohio have a team that ever likes to have Cleveland and San Diego?
[00:47:11] Speaker A: Cincinnati pretty much only ever those Ohio team.
[00:47:15] Speaker B: Well, so what do we want to say about this? Chase. Chase Claypool news. You know, Seahawks.
[00:47:19] Speaker A: Nothing.
[00:47:20] Speaker C: No. To the, like, xfl. I'm pretty sure. Or UFO.
[00:47:22] Speaker B: No, he went to the, he went to. He had a meeting with the Seahawks today.
[00:47:25] Speaker C: Oh, he did.
[00:47:26] Speaker B: Yeah. That's what I was referring to.
[00:47:27] Speaker A: Oh, wow.
[00:47:28] Speaker C: Hey, get the contract.
[00:47:30] Speaker A: Good riddance.
[00:47:31] Speaker C: Good. Good for him.
[00:47:33] Speaker A: Yeah, good friend. It's about all I can say.
[00:47:35] Speaker B: Wow, this guy, first round rock receiver, second round. Oh, good point.
[00:47:42] Speaker D: He was a top five receiver, but yeah, he.
[00:47:44] Speaker C: Oh, well, in his say he was not.
[00:47:47] Speaker A: He said he was.
[00:47:49] Speaker C: He did have a great rookie year and then he had.
[00:47:51] Speaker A: It's so funny how good his rookie year was. And then was it because that was.
[00:47:55] Speaker B: The tick tock here.
[00:47:56] Speaker A: That was the, that was the Steelers eleven and. Oh, yeah, never him and Juju doing losing. Never heard of it.
[00:48:03] Speaker B: Didn't they do the dance on the, like the brown's logo?
[00:48:06] Speaker C: It was, did Juju. Did the dance on the Bengals logo and then like halfway through the first quarter laid him out.
[00:48:13] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah.
[00:48:14] Speaker C: And then did the tick tock dance after he destroyed.
[00:48:17] Speaker B: Yeah, you're right. And then he caught 2020.
[00:48:19] Speaker D: Was that the COVID year?
[00:48:21] Speaker C: It was. It was after the COVID year. So like there was still not really a lot of fans, but I think that was later on in the year when they did let fans in. So that was a time.
[00:48:29] Speaker A: It was a time, indeed.
[00:48:32] Speaker B: So let me ask you guys one more question before we get off the air.
Just what do you guys reacting to? Another thing real quick. John, the Chargers coach.
[00:48:41] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:48:42] Speaker C: John Harbaugh.
[00:48:42] Speaker B: John, I always get them confused. John Harbaugh. Yeah, he recently, they've redone the Chargers locker room. So it no longer like it's just your name plate. It's apparently instead of your name above the locker room, it's your ranking in high school.
[00:48:55] Speaker A: Interesting.
[00:48:56] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:48:57] Speaker A: Like motivation, I think that, yeah, I.
[00:48:59] Speaker D: Think that's like a motivation chip on the shoulder kind of thing. Unless, you know, number one, but yeah.
[00:49:04] Speaker C: Unless it's like the whole team.
[00:49:06] Speaker A: Bad high school recruits.
[00:49:09] Speaker C: Have you seen that roster?
[00:49:12] Speaker A: A lot of former three and two stars.
[00:49:14] Speaker B: It is really looking a little rough right now, especially I don't know what direction they're going to go. And I think hopefully they go offensive line and then, you know, gets a couple wide receivers.
[00:49:22] Speaker C: Well, they need wider Quinton Johnson, Joshua Paul.
[00:49:25] Speaker A: I hope to God that they draft Malik neighbors. I think it's their only option, honestly.
[00:49:30] Speaker C: They want archetype.
[00:49:31] Speaker D: They need, that's what I was saying about Marvin Harrison. Like, they need him. Marvin Harrison's the best receiver in the class, but you need that Stefan Diggs kind of archetype that is gonna be your number one receiver the whole year for a good five years and just continue to be that cornerstone instead of, you know, like a Megatron. Megatron's easily better than Stephan Diggs. But in terms of impact, who do you really want?
[00:49:54] Speaker C: Megatron.
[00:49:58] Speaker A: I also. I think we have to throw back a little bit that Evan and our mock draft took Malik neighbors over Marvin Harrison.
[00:50:04] Speaker B: Still defending that pick.
[00:50:05] Speaker A: Don't you still believe in that pick?
[00:50:06] Speaker D: For the Chargers. For the Chargers.
[00:50:09] Speaker C: So you're talking about Stefan Diggs and Megatron. But do you not remember when they had to put three guys on Megatron at the goal line and Megatron still scored?
[00:50:16] Speaker D: Do you not remember? Megatron was on a team that went 00:16 not his fault.
[00:50:20] Speaker C: But you mean the guy that broke the receiving record in a year?
[00:50:25] Speaker D: He is my goat.
[00:50:27] Speaker C: I love Megatron. But you're comparing Stefan Diggs, who has not done really anything, like, significant in this league, compared to, like.
[00:50:35] Speaker D: Except for the Minneapolis miracle.
[00:50:36] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Minnesota.
[00:50:37] Speaker D: All Marcus Williams fault, though, by the way, one of my sidetrack, one of my biggest pet peeves in football is bad tackling. Marcus Williams will never be a good safety to me because he doesn't know how to tackle. He always puts his head down and people either walk past him or run him over. And we saw this with destroying. He's out for the whole year.
It's my biggest pet peeve.
[00:51:03] Speaker A: He's a kicker. If you would have told me this conversation ended with destroying, I would have thought you were lying in my face.
You were on Marcus Williams that whole time. He said, we see this. The same thing with destroying. He's over here saying, who's a kicker in the UFL?
[00:51:19] Speaker D: Mad tackling broke his neck.
[00:51:21] Speaker C: He's talking about, like, you know, who would rather have Stefan Diggs or Calvin Johnson? You know, I would take Stephan Diggs. Like, no, I think everyone who watches football would take Calvin Johnson in a heartbeat.
[00:51:33] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:51:34] Speaker C: And then we go from that to Marcus Williams tackling and then destroying.
[00:51:39] Speaker A: Like, that was awesome.
[00:51:42] Speaker B: Well, I can't think of a better transition. I think that has to be our ticket out of here. So on that note, thank you so much for listening. This has been the student section, NFL on WVUA 90.7. Be sure to join us next Tuesday as we get a little bit more into destroying snack.
[00:51:58] Speaker C: All right.
[00:52:11] Speaker A: Wvuafm tuscaloosa.
