The dry spell is about to hit folks. That's right after after mandatory mini camp
We are gonna be in a drought for six weeks until training camp, but
But before we get there, we still got some things we got to talk about all right
My Tomlin gets an extension for three years stays with the Steelers
Gotta talk about that gotta talk about the Steelers, right? Right. Okay, cool
Amari Cooper a sound ready and see Higgins are still holding out or still looking for deals Brandon I you with the
Backel continues
Unfortunately, when will it ever end?
as well as a rant on
Aaron Rodgers because he missed mini camp
mini camp come on guys and
Some story lines that we're gonna have to keep a close eye on that could
You know lead into training camp as well all of this and more on the 11th episode
That's right the 11th episode of
The greatest football
Podcasts you could possibly listen to on a day-to-day basis your GM
Okay, your GM who is scouting players two years in advance
All right, who is still not on a team right now. Kale. Let's get it
All right folks so unfortunately, yeah, we don't have no bag alerts to talk about we still got things that need to be
Discussed unfortunately now. I am gonna give you guys a heads up right now
Things may get a little bit scarce
For the next six weeks if I'm not mistaken
Because basically everybody is you know gonna be on vacation on on break and whatnot
From Lee because you know, there is a gap period between mandatory mini camp and training camp
So we're gonna try to see we can put out some stuff if we can't then you know, we'll probably be on a small hiatus
And then pick back up. I don't know yet. I still have to figure things out
But you know, we'll see how things go, but let's dive into the news. Okay, so if you guys have not heard
Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin inked a three-year extension to stay with them
So let's just address the elephant in the room here, right? So on one hand, you know, yes, this was expected
The Steelers are not gonna let you know my Tomlin basically just you know walking whatnot. They still believe in my Tomlin
However, I think they I think ownership has reached a point where they are tired of not being in the playoffs
Year after year after year
And I think they do realize that you know some necessary changes
Were made and you know needed to be made
Whether that be you know personnel whether they be players whether that be people in front office scouting
Whatever the case may be they're just trying to and
Improve their chances of you know possibly making a playoff run because let's be real here folks
The standard for the Pittsburgh Steelers is championships. Okay, it's not, you know, just having a winning season
It's not, you know successfully, you know being you know, the number one or the number two spot, you know
In their division. No, it's about holding up the Lombardi trophy
Okay, and you know, it's been a while since the Steelers have even gotten to the Super Bowl
And you know for obvious reasons, you know things happen and whatnot changes, you know
Players got old and players left and you know coaches, you know didn't stay with the team and whatnot
But the fact of the matter is Mike Tomlin
Year in and year out
Show stability, right and that is something that you know a lot of teams
You know look for in head coaches
You want a head coach who can stabilize the locker room?
Well at the same time keep them motivated and keep them focused on the task at hand and to eliminate the outside noise, right?
And so Mike Tomlin
You know has to be given his flowers because let's be real here folks
I don't know a whole lot of people that could deal with the antics of Antonio Brown
He did that he did that for years, right?
Until you know until they just reached a point where they just couldn't deal with it anymore. He dealt with that and
So he's dealt with strong personalities. He's dealt with controversy
He's dealt with a plethora of different things both internally and externally
Concerning the team. He's done it with class and professionalism every single time and you know that definitely has to be recognized
however
We do have to be critical of
You know the shortcomings, you know that has happened recently and a lot of that has to do with his
Offensive coordinator high rings, okay now
When you look at the last five had offensive coordinators, they've had they've had Bruce Arians
MacCanada Todd Haley Randy Fickner and Arthur Smith, right now out of those five, right?
two of them
Have been you know showed a lot of success and the offense was you know able to put points on the board and
Eventually, you know when games and whatnot those two offensive coordinators were Bruce Arians Todd Haley, right?
Todd Haley, we all know killer bees and whatnot Bruce Arians
That's that's when you know, you had prom Heinz Ward. Yeah, and so on Randall L
You had this person that person blah blah blah
So I'm saying all that to say this
The knock on my Tomlin has been you know him not
Acing of the offensive coordinator hiring since Todd Haley
Let's be real her folks. Matt Canada was a disaster. Okay. It was a disaster
He kept Matt Canada for too long. He was you know trying to see and hope that things would turn around but
Honestly speaking here and I'm gonna again. I'm gonna try to be as non-biased as possible
When you looked at the offense, you know that that final year of Matt Canada, it wasn't going anywhere
It was stagnant. You were having defensive, you know players from other teams that were you know coming out publicly and saying like hey
Listen, we already knew what they were doing. We knew would be for be before we even got into the building
We knew okay that they're gonna run here. They're gonna run here. They're gonna try to pass this
They're gonna do this motion they go give out these call-offs this and the other blah blah blah
They knew those things and so when you when there is a lack of
Not secrecy, but a lack of
You know anticipation and whatnot
That that takes away from the game and not to mention
That puts a strain on the defense because guess what the defense has to exude more energy
just to try to you know make a play whatnot and
It showed but I say all that to say this
And you know that this will probably be
I'm another episode, you know come completely dedicated to this my time and knows that you know
He definitely has to show up and he has to break this streak of not being in the playoffs
He has to show it okay, because you know when you have when you have the owner come out
Publicly and say like he's tired of not being in the playoffs
That that's sort of you know lights a fire under like hey like I gotta I gotta do more
I gotta you know make changes if I have to make changes
I gotta do something different just so we can break this streak because let's be real here folks
My Tomlin's playoff record is eight and ten
Eight and ten okay since 2018
The Steelers has only made three playoff appearances and haven't made it and haven't made it past the wild card
I want you to think about that for a second now mind you a lot of those years
You know you had the killer bees you still had a B. Levy on big Ben you you you had teams
And it's not like the team was deprived of of talent. No the talent was there. It's just
They for some apparent reason they just weren't making it to the playoffs and that you know that gets old
You know time after time after time sure, you know if it happens, you know once or maybe two years in a row
Okay, no one's really not gonna say anything about it
But if you see that there is starting to be a cycle a
consistent cycle of
Not making it to the playoffs people are gonna get sick and tired of that and it shows
This is probably the first time, you know
Ever that I've ever heard the owner actually come out publicly and actually say yeah, I'm tired of not being in the playoffs
I'm tired. I don't like that. That says a lot honestly
But you know as always congratulations to Mike Tom now moving on to the receivers
I know we have been talking about receivers basically this entire offseason. Yes, it is starting to get tiring
But it is basically the one position that everyone keeps on talking about and they have the most news
So gotta cover it. So I'm browns receiver. Mark Cooper
Is you know not attending many camp? He is you know, he wants another deal
As well as a pass rusher now for the Jets former Eagle
Hassan Reddick as well. So let's let's sort of you know, do do a deep a deep dive in this
But before we do this, we have to talk about their past contracts in order to
Reason why they're doing what they're doing, right? So let's let let's let's let's start with Mark Cooper, right?
So according to spot rack, okay? I'm Mark Cooper's last deal was a five-year 100 million dollar deal
To 10 million dollar signing bonus. He was going to be making 20 million a year
40 million was guaranteed at signing and he had 60 million in total guarantees now
When you look at a mark Cooper, right? I'm Mark Cooper is in a situation where he's looking for one more one more score, okay?
Now will it come from the Browns? I don't know
Simply because they they do have a lot of you know large
large cap hits
That that you know, they're they're not they can't just get rid of you know, so
They may you know, just say okay, I'm I will just let you just play out the rest of your contract here
And then let you test free free agency
But the thing is a mark Cooper is still one of the best receivers in the league
Okay, despite what anyone may say a mark Cooper makes big plays
He makes big plays when you need him to make a play he's going to do it and he shows up game after game
however
the problem is with the
With the explosion of the receiver market just in this offseason alone
How much money is he going to be asking for?
Because remember you still have CD land that's looking for a deal tomorrow Chase is looking for a deal to Higgins is looking for a deal
Brandon I you week is looking for a deal, right? So you have those four receivers that are still looking for top dollar money
And if we're being real here two of those receivers are probably going to get top dollar money
And who are those two receivers to Marche's and CD land?
Everybody else. I don't know. I really don't know
Oh, and I forgot Cortland Sun as well. He's he's looking for another payday as well
So there's a lot of receivers that are still looking for paydays now
I will say this the one thing that a Mario Cooper does have in his favor is
Next year's draft class is supposed to be a defensive heavy draft class
It's not going to be the draft class like how it was
This year where it's more offensive driven and you know this large
receiver receiver draft class and whatnot. It's not supposed to be like that, right? So
Maybe a team and free agency might try to you know, maybe overpay for a for a Mario Cooper
Who knows but I will say this a Mario Cooper is you know, he he deserves to be paid a little bit more
Now the question is how much more?
Because let's be real here. He's he has more years behind him than he does, you know ahead of him
You know with his playing career
So I don't think a team is going to be willing to be you know to give him a
Traditional four-year deal and and whatnot. I don't think they're going to do that. I just don't
But you know only time
Will tell now when you look at
Hassan Reddix, you know last contract he signed a three-year 45 million dollar deal 14.2
Signing bonus he would he would be making 15 million a year
30 million guaranteed at signing and 30 million in total guarantees now when you look at his situation, right?
And the past rush remark it as a whole
He has been consistent, you know for the last few years
He's been one of the best past rushers not only in the NFC but of but you know in the league as well
Now the question is are they just going to be willing to pay him?
You know top dollar money. Are they really going to want to do that? I don't know because
remember they still have sauce garner that they have to pay and
Let's be real here folks. They're gonna have to reset the market for sauce
I don't care what anyone says the two corners right now that are going to
Reset the market. It's gonna be sauce. It's gonna be ps2. You heard this from me first
Okay, you heard it from me first
Not to mention, you know, there's still a lot of question marks on what's gonna happen with the offense
When you have, you know a large contract like Aaron Rodgers, then, you know, they paid, you know
His buddies Al-Azhar Randall Cobb and then not to mention you also have to figure out what you're gonna do with Garrett Wilson, right?
So there there's a there's so there's so much money, you know available that you know
Someone's not gonna get paid, right? And so are the jets gonna be, you know, open to being like, okay
Maybe we won't give you a traditional form. We'll give you a two-year, you know
$25 million extension or you know something crazy like that then it's, you know, okay cool
But for right now, I don't think the jets are, you know willing and open to doing business with us on reddit
But, you know, only time will tell, you know at this point now speaking of
Actually, you know what now?
we'll continue with the
With receivers as well because because we do need to talk about Brandon I you so
Brandon I you it gets still not with the team. He is still holding out
You know yada yada yada the same stuff same old same old same old stuff, right?
But we got some information folks, right? So according to Steelers now
Steelers now reporter Nick Farrell ball shout out to Nick Farrell ball and shout out to Steelers now great guys great
Great people that report on a lot of things
So Mike Silver
49ers insider
reported right that basically
Brandon I you it is looking for a deal. That's around 30 million a year, right?
Sort of sort of had an idea that you know, that was the case
But here is the kicker in all of this
He is he is using Amaral saying Brown's is deal as a model of what the type of deal that he would want
From the 49ers, right?
However, the 49ers right now have an offer on the table for Brandon I you week
That's around the ballpark of around 26 million a year, right?
Now the the Niners, you know, they may not want to get to 30 million 30 million a year
But they are willing to do that if it means, you know, it closes the deal, right?
And so when you look at it, right?
And I've said this before and in multiple, you know episodes in the past and whatnot
Brandon I you it gets in a situation where?
he has, you know one or two options he could possibly take a little bit less and
you know
Possibly win a championship and then once he hits free agency
He can really, you know get the bag that he really wants or
You know, he can ask for a trade and you know, he gets traded to a crappy team and you know
He gets his money that that's just what it is, right?
And granted I'm not saying that you know, Brandon I you it doesn't have to you know
Lower his Lord himself and whatnot. But what I am saying is this
You're on a team, right? You're on a Super Bowl caliber team right now
That has basically sent sent the message this offseason this summer that hey, listen
Either you're on this train or you're not simple as that. Okay?
They were able to work working extension for Kristen Caffrey. They were able to work working extension for
Uh, Jawan Jennings, they're able to do things. Okay, they can do it with you or they can do it without you
Okay, it's no problem for them
But when you look at the 49ers as a whole
They have a lot of big contracts on the books and again, I've said this before in the past
You can you can listen to the previous episodes when you have Trent Williams when you have Nick Bosa Fred Warner
Debo Samuel Christian McCaffrey
Um, grave digger shout out to Javon Hargrave, you know when you have all of these big contracts on your books
There's only so much money that you can allocate and then not to mention guess what?
You got to find out how you're gonna be able to pay Brock Purdy as well
That's not gonna be cheap. That's not
So there's so much, you know that that you already have tied up and then not to mention. I just forgot George Kittle as well
so
You have a lot of high-end, you know players that got big contracts
And I don't think the 49ers are going to be willing to just continue to run up the the number
Just to possibly get a ring
They're not going to be willing to do that and I think this twenty six million dollar offer is probably like okay
Take it or leave it if you don't want it
Then you know you tell us where where you want to go and we'll try to see we can get a deal done
So we can ship you over there
That's where it is and it you know those actions sort of you know reinforce themselves with how they did in the draft
Because who do they draft in the first round a receiver? They draft Ricky Pierce all so that right there sent is sending a message to
Him and Debo Samuel like hey listen one of y'all two are probably gonna get moved
One of y'all now the question is who is it going to be me personally?
I think it's going to be Debo Samuel simply because he already has a pre-existing contract and it's easier to digest
It's easier to break down restructure figure things out
Maybe add you know more money so you can lower the cap hit and one night that's workable right?
Compared to Brandon I you it who basically you're gonna have to get the first round pick for there's no if ands or buts about it
And you're gonna have to pay him top dollar
Right now a lot of teams are gonna be willing to do that and the teams that are gonna be willing to do that are teams that
You know they're not going anywhere anytime soon. They're going through a rebuild and they're just looking for you know a key piece
You know for their young quarterback quarterback, right?
So it's it's it's a very tough and very rocky situation
Hopefully things get resolved do I think you know Brandon I you because gonna get paid no, I just don't I don't think he's gonna get paid
I think the 49ers, you know, I think they realize like hey listen
We got Ricky Piro saw we got another receiver, you know
We were starting to you know rely on Chris to McCaffrey to run the ball more
We can we can still do this thing without a Brandon I you we can do it. It may be a little bit difficult
But we can do it so
Let's you know, let's see what happens with that. Hopefully, you know things get resolved and whatnot
But we got some breaking news folks. That's right breaking news fresh
Fresh from the table, right?
So apparently Alvin Camara is not attending
I'm mandatory minicamp because this is contract related. Okay now
When we look at things right Alvin Camara, you know, it's definitely a top five running back, you know
Simply because of what he does he he can double as a receiving back
He can double as someone, you know that if you need him to get that first down, he's gonna be that person
However, I just think the Saints are not gonna be willing to pay him
You know as much money as he probably was
If we're being real here, but I think the I think the number one question should probably be
You know, what is his number and are the one and are the Saints gonna be willing to pay that because let's be real here folks
The Saints are trying to buy themselves time. Okay, they are trying to delay the inevitable of going through rebuild
But eventually they're gonna have to go through a rebuild. Okay, Alvin Camara
Has been their most productive offensive player
Since they've been there
Okay, now to some people are gonna be like, well, what about Michael Thomas? Michael Thomas is not in this conversation anymore
I'm sorry. He is not
He ever since he's gotten that deal he has just become a ghost. Okay
his
Just everything it just I don't know what it was
But it just feels like when he's at when he signed that that deal it just zapped all of his
You know all of his athleticism and everything that he was able to do before he got the deal
I don't know what it was, but it's just weird. So
you know
This is gonna be something that is definitely gonna be you know leading into training camp
We'll see how how far this goes
Hopefully this gets resolved pretty quickly because if not, you know
That Saints offense is gonna struggle
It's gonna struggle tremendously because Alvin Camara does a lot for that offense, right?
Now let's get into this rant. Okay, and I'm gonna try to be as
Respectful as I possibly can so if you guys don't want to listen to this you can skip a good five to ten minutes
Possibly a little bit more than that. Okay, so Aaron Rogers did not report to
a mandatory mini camp yesterday, right? And so Robert Sala, you know put out a statement
You know, he's been in communication with him and basically, you know, he had a previous, you know previous engagement and whatnot
So, okay, cool perfectly fine
But then there were rumors starting to swirl around
That basically Aaron Rogers is not even in the country right now Aaron Rogers is on vacation, right?
So, you know be and I want you to hold that I want you to put that in your back pocket for a quick second. Okay, so
In January of this year, right Aaron Rogers put out a quote and it basically goes like this, right?
And I quote and this is from my floreal from pro football network shout out to you guys
He said and I quote
Anything that doesn't have anything to do with winning needs to be assessed
He said so anything in this building that we're doing
and
To put yourself in a position to win championships and be competitive
Everything that you do matters and the bullshit that has nothing to do with winning
Needs to get out of the building so that the focus
Moving forward. Okay. That's what he said in January. Okay now fast forward to March of this year
He said as well. He said
He know he made it a point, you know to basically
Sort of you know, call out the locker room filled with anonymous sources of frustration and finger pointing and basically said and I quote
To flush the bullshit and focus on winning. Okay, that came from
Nick Ferry off from sports. It was straight a shout out to them now
Let's really assess this thing right since Aaron Rodgers has gotten traded. Um, no, excuse me
Since Aaron Rodgers have been traded to the Jets
Um, he is he has shown his ass. Okay. Let's let's just call it for what is he has shown his ass. Okay
They've been, you know as accommodating as they possibly can they got, you know, some of the players that you've been successful with
They brought them over no problem. Okay
They brought in, you know, the the person that you were comfortable with as the offensive coordinator
Even though me personally, I don't think he's an offensive coordinator. I just think he's a towel boy
But you know, that's another story for another day
um, you know, they've been very accommodating to Aaron Rodgers and
You know for someone who is supposed to be the supposed leader of the team. He is not showing that. Okay
Um, he has continued to show that he is still immature at his old age
And that he truly is not committed to football. Okay. Now to some people that you're probably thinking
Well, what do you know about that? And how in the world can you say that he's not committed to football because
mandatory minicamp
If you if you wanted to go out of the country, you should have done that at OTA's
Where it wasn't mandatory where you could miss it and you won't get fined it
You could have done that
But instead you wanted to leave
Supposedly because I don't know if this is true or not. I will just have to find out
Allegedly
You haven't even reported to mandatory minicamp
You are the only person on this team that has won a Super Bowl
You you were the only person nobody else on this team has won a Super Bowl except for you
Sure, there's probably players on that team. That's one national championships
National championships don't even hold a candle to what it feels like to win a Super Bowl
You've experienced that Aaron
Nobody else has and everyone is looking up to you to take them to that place
So they can experience that but you know what they can't experience that when your ass is not there
can't
I don't care what anyone says when you look at any team that has won a Super Bowl
The one thing that they all have similar is they are we they were committed
From OTAs to minicamp to practices outside, you know of of of those, you know, those two time periods and whatnot
They were committed they came in
With a mindset that we are going to win a Super Bowl this year
And everyone had to be on the same page. Everyone had to have that same message and if you weren't on that same boat
You're going
Okay
That's how the Patriots became the dynasty that they were because you know why
Because their leader Tom Brady came in with the mindset that we're going to win a Super Bowl
And then guess what everyone followed suit and everyone was committed to this thing
And if you're not committed to it, guess what you're not going to win a Super Bowl
And right now it doesn't help that, you know, robber salla in some ways is on the hot seat right now
Because you gave up Zach Wilson
to get Aaron to get Aaron Rodgers
And basically it is look like a complete failure
Okay, let's just call a spade a spade. It has looked like a complete failure
Aaron Rodgers continues to show that hey, I am above every person
GM I'm above him head coach. I'm above him. I'm above every single person
You could possibly think of and in some ways if I'm a player
And you know because you know the the players probably probably know what's going on
And they probably won't leak it out and whatnot
But if I'm a player and if Aaron Rodgers isn't here, I'm going to be pissed off
I'm going to be very pissed off because you cannot say in January and March of this year
That you know all the extra bullshit that's not in you know, that's in this building
That's in the locker room needs to go but your ass is not here
You need to be here working on the chemistry with your offensive line
Working on the chemistry with your offensive players working on your chemistry with your coaches
All those different things because why you've added new players to the team
So you need to be there and you need to show them the ropes
Build that chemistry with them because there's going to come a time and point in the season where you are going to need them
But you can't do that if if you're if you're not there Aaron, you can't
You just cannot do that. It is unacceptable
And if I am Robert Sala, if I'm the GM of the Jets and I'm the owner of the Jets
I am giving Aaron Rodgers a stiff fine
Because you are the leader we trade we moves heaven and earth
To get you and so far you have not shown anything for us
It is time for you to grow the fuck up
Grow up if you are not committed to football then just retire
But all of this antics and you know backbiting and basically being a hypocrite
It doesn't work
Those players are trying to get somewhere
They're trying to experience something that you have already experienced
And they can't do that if your ass is not there and I'm just going to leave it there because if I don't I'm going to get more
More and more pissed off now moving on to the things that I'm looking out for
With minicam that can possibly lead into training camp, right?
So these are just you know some some of the few things that definitely
Caught my attention. So starting with the buccaneers and the Tristan worth situation, right?
So Tristan worths did report for mandatory minicam
But I I'm I would not be surprised if he's doing his own individual workouts
Or he's very limited in practices and whatnot just so he doesn't mess up his value and contract talks
When you look at the buccaneers, right? The buccaneers are in the situation where they have
Arguably the 1b
In right tackles young right tackles, right? It's literally penace well and then Tristan works, right?
for the for the young
For that younger core of of tackles, right?
And so Tristan worse is probably looking for a deal
Similar or more to what penace well just got, okay?
Tristan works
Is an elite tackle whether he plays on either the left or the right?
That is rare
That is very very very rare
And when you have a player like that you have to make sure that you compensate him because I guarantee you
If the buccaneers let Tristan worse walk there will be multiple teams
Who will move off of players off low contracts do restructures as players to take pay cuts just to pay Tristan works
Because Tristan works is a Super Bowl winning champion
And he can and he is diverse enough to play right tackle and left tackle and not miss a step
That is rare folks now moving on to the to the next thing that I am
You know definitely keeping my eye on who will the cowboys pay first, right?
Because when we look at it, right the cowboys are in a situation where
They they either they're either going to pay DAC or they're going to pay CD land. They can't pay both
But they're going to have to pay one of those two
And when you pay the when you pay the the other the other one's going to walk in free agency
And when that other person walks
Who was to say that you will never be able to get them back, right?
Because let's be real here as I've said previously
Um a few minutes ago
Everyone has already said that next year's draft class is going to be defensive driven
So, you know what that means that means all of the offensive free agents that's going to drive up their prices now
Because everybody knows that there's not going to be as many quarterbacks
There's not going to be as many receivers
It's not going to be as many tight ends running backs
A lot of offensive players that teams are going to be like, oh, we have to go and we have to get them, right?
And so, you know, if if I'm the cowboys, I probably would pay CD land
I would you've already paid that you've paid him multiple times
It's time for him to it's time to let him walk and figure out, you know, what what you want to do because
Their their cap is starting to get it's starting to get out of hand, right?
You have a lot of older players who have big contracts and big cap hits, right?
And so the best way to
To combat that is to get a rookie quarterback
Because when you get a rookie quarterback, guess what you don't have to pay him for five years
You don't have to have a conversation with him about money for five years
That means you could go through a soft rebuild
Uh, and you know be able to you know, if you want to draft a certain position
You can draft that certain position if you want to build the offensive line
You can build the offensive line within those five years and you don't have to worry about the quarterback, right?
Compared to if you continue to pay someone like a dag press card and it basically puts
Everything that you want to do in a chokehold, right?
And so, you know, the the cowboys definitely have a lot of
You know question marks that they have to figure out, you know, leading into training camp
Because Dak is there
CD lamb isn't the question is
Who's going to get that back first, right?
And so, you know the the the next two
Yeah, I'm I'm going to have to talk about the Steelers because you know, I mean
You just have to um, how will the Steelers offense look? Okay?
And you know, again, I'm going to try to be non biased as possible when you look at the Steelers offense the Steelers
Have experienced a lot of you know, turnaround and just went off season alone, right?
They traded away Kenny Pickett. They let Mason Rudolph walk. They traded away. Deontay Johnson
They let go of mad canada. They brought in Arthur Smith. They traded for Justin Fields. They signed
Um, Russell Wilson to to event minimum
That's a lot
Then you drafted Roman Wilson. You brought in van Jefferson cordel Patterson
And Scotty Miller
quest walk-ins, right
You brought in a lot. So
Who we we there's a lot of question marks on how exactly is this offense going to flow
Is it gonna is it are you going to see a major improvement at week one?
Or are you going to see something where this offense is going to take them a while to get used to
They regressed even more, right?
And so, you know, these are definitely major things that need to be talked about because they brought in Arthur Smith
And if you don't know who Arthur Smith is Arthur Smith's scheme is run heavy, right?
And so, you know, it sort of mirrors what you know, what Mike Tomlin and the team want to do which is run the damn football
So, you know, that's definitely something that you know, people are going to have to keep an eye on I know for me
Definitely going to be watching, you know, trying to see if I can find a feed or something
Just so I can keep track of what's going on with that training camp, right?
And so finally the the last thing that you know, and we briefly talked about it is, you know
What what are the nine is going to do with their receivers? Okay
You have one receiver who, you know, sort of went through the same debacle that brand. I you just going through, you know
Basically requesting a trade. I want out, you know, I don't want to be here anymore blah blah blah and then finally got his deal
Okay, cool. Now you have Brandon I you who he's looking for more money than what Dbo Samuel
Um was looking for and so now the question is
Who's going to go?
It's going to be Dbo. We're going to be Brandon I you as I've said before and you can scroll back, you know made about 15 or 20 minutes
um
Teams will be more open to trading for Dbo Samuel compared to trading for brand I you
Simply because you have to pay brand I you as well as give up
Uh a first round pick and possibly a player to get Brandon I you, right?
So these are all, you know, definitely major storylines that i'm definitely keeping
Um track of and you know, I I know that things are probably going to be a little bit dry
for the next six weeks, but you know, hopefully something gets done
Um, also, I I forgot to to bring this up as well. I should have put this in my notes
But kidney Clark defensive tackle for the Packers is um in contract
Talks with you know with the Packers as well. So, you know, could be a future baggler coming on
Hopefully we have another baggler coming on because you know
