Alright folks the final countdown begins. Okay, the trade deadline is not even right around the corner
It's on our street and we have a lot to talk about with it
Okay, as well as last night's game between the Texas and the Jets
We might there might be some red flags that are starting to pop up with a certain quarterback that we need to talk about
Okay, as well as a
controversial topic that needs to be addressed with all the you know conundrum that is going on with this Anthony
Richardson
Situation which is why aren't quarterbacks not being allowed to develop?
I think it is a topic that you know for quite a while
We've probably put off and I think this is probably the perfect opportunity to talk about this
Okay, we're gonna try to keep this thing light and right. Okay, all of this in more. Okay on the
46th episode, that's right 46. We are not too far away from being 50 episode cast game
Okay, 46 podcast. I am your host with the most just know this
I'm gonna drop this junkie bomb for you right now to
Two big major trades are going to happen before the trade that line you heard it here first on the football junkies podcast
I am your host your GM who currently is not on the team right now, but don't you worry about that?
Okay, I'm all these things and more. Okay. I'm your chief
Bag road dominance. Okay. I'm your chief
Meteorologist for the bag. Okay. I am all these things and more but best believe the most important title that you must know
And remember is I'm your host kale. You already know what I'm getting ready to say. Okay, so guess what?
Now you're probably driving. You're probably cleaning. You're probably doing something, but guess what?
Well, if you're driving keep on driving. I don't just just just keep on driving. Okay focus on the road
But for everybody else guess what?
Stop what you're doing and on three one two three. Let's lock in
All right folks, let's get into the meat and potatoes of everything that is going on in the
League right now and
Everyone is talking about the trade deadline now me personally you would have thought that you know
We would have had some more trades, you know popping up very small trades popping up at this point
But you know, I guess not I guess everybody is waiting till after the slate of games that are gonna happen on Sunday
well, hopefully that is the case because
Yeah, so far it really hasn't been a whole lot of movement
I mean sure you've had Josh Uche being traded and dee-hop getting traded and cam Robbins and getting traded
But it's like we need more. Okay. There's a whole bunch of speculation. There's a whole bunch of rumors and this and that and whatnot
I need to hear something. I need to see something because why that allows me to give the fix that you guys love and or need
Okay, so will you know what do we really want to talk about? Let's talk about the game first
Let's talk about last night and then we'll go into everything else again. I'm letting you guys know right now
This episode is going to be fairly light. Okay, it is going to be light. I'm just letting you guys know now
last night's game it was
Anybody's game the jets needed this more than the text simply because the jets have been on a dry spell for the for the last few games
Now and they needed to get into the wind column and they finally were able to do it
So let's just get into the stats first and then we'll dive into all the deep analysis and all those different types of things
So CJ strout was 11 for 30 191 passing yards
6.4 yards per attempt in a 36.7 completion percenters. Okay, and a 46.7
Quarterback pressure rate. Okay now remember that number and that metric. Okay, I'm gonna go deep into that
Okay, Joe mixin 24 attempts for 106 rushing yards 4.4 yards per carry one touchdown three rushes of 10 plus yards or more
Okay, Tink Dell nine targets for six receptions
126 receiving yards 21 receiving yards per reception. Okay, Aaron Rogers 22 for 32
211 passing yards three touchdowns 6.6 yards per attempt a
68.8 completion percentage in a
26.5 quarterback pressure rate. Okay, Garrett Wilson 10 targets for nine receptions 90 receiving yards two touchdowns and
10 receiving yards per reception breeze hall 15 attempts for 74 rushing yards
4.9 yards per carry and three rushes of 10 plus yards or more now when we look at last night's game, you know, I
Definitely thought that the Texans were definitely going to win simply because they were better equipped to beat the jets on both sides of the ball
Okay, the offense is
Playing very well their run game is very solid and that defense sharks in the water. Okay, and clearly
That's not, you know, that's not what happened now
Can we say, you know, maybe this was just a bad game for CJ Stroud?
Yes, you probably could could allude at that
But you know, I think something that that definitely needs to be talked about is, you know
This offensive line didn't didn't look that good last night. The pass protection was not good and in granted
The jets were going after CJ Stroud every single time he was hiking that ball
They were going after him and most of times Quentin Williams was leading the charge. Okay him matching up with whoever that guard was
barbecue barbecue chicken alert
barbecue chicken alert, okay
He just kept on getting through every single time every single time putting CJ Stroud on the ground put him in the ground put him in the ground
And then you have a son reddit doing his thing and then you have Solomon Thomas doing his thing Michael Clemens doing his thing
You had that defensive line was eating glass night. They were creating pressure pressure that I think CJ Stroud
Could not handle and in doing so it costed them the game
Because when we really look at things when you look at people like DJ Reed that that's doing his job
by the way, DJ Reed is
Definitely a sleeper of a cornerback that not a lot of people talk about he has shown a lot and man
Oh man, if he becomes a free agent next year, I will love for the Steelers to get him
But don't like his about that. Okay, I get back into the game. So this is what I will say
It's a great win for the Jets because this puts them back in the winning column. They needed this win to
Silence the naysayers the haters all of the doubters all of the people that said their season was over
Okay, but at the same time this raises questions for the Texans because you know, do you think they should probably go after?
You know an interior offensive linemen because again the interior offensive line was getting beat up
They were getting beat up or four quarters straight and there was nothing they can do about now the secondary the secondary was doing their thing
You know, they was holding their own against people like Devontae Adams and Garrett Wilson and company, but again that that line
that line
It just wasn't doing his job
I don't know if they were still in Houston or what but they did not do well and it costed them the game
That's just what it is now. This is a much needed win for Jeff Albrecht
Just as much as a much needed win for Aaron Rogers
Now the question is this can they continue to stack up more wins and could they possibly turn their season around?
The answer is yes and the reason why I say that is because when you look at the the remaining part of their schedule
Their schedule, it's not super difficult, but they could win, right?
So their next opponent the card goes then after that then it's the Colts and then they're on a buy
They have a late buy which late buys come in the clutch sometimes because that allows them to rest
recover recuperate and
Sort of like in the thick of things of the season because that's when you're really gonna need some rest because you're gonna be going through a
Gondola you're gonna be most likely facing, you know at least two of your division rivals where that be in the middle part or
You know the or the last two games of the season, right?
So after their buy they go begin Seattle Miami
Jacksonville the Rams
Buffalo and then Miami again if we're being real here
The toughest opponent that they will probably have to go up against is Buffalo Buffalo in in in Indianapolis
Those are gonna be the toughest teams that the Jets are gonna really have to go after
Well, maybe you could probably throw in Seattle as well
Everybody else it's fair game if we're being real here everything everything else is fair game the Colts
That's fair game at this point the Jaguars
That's fair game a lot of these a lot of these teams are in situations where they're about to you know
Either make a decision where they're either about to tank prepare themselves for next year or they're gonna try to see
You know what what they can do with the remaining part of the season now when we shift things over to the Texans though
The Texan schedule is a little bit difficult
The only reason why I say that's because next week they have to go up against Detroit
Then Dallas then Tennessee then Jacksonville then they're on their buy, which is even later. Okay week 14. They come back
Face Miami then Kansas City then Baltimore then Tennessee if we're being real here
The teams that they could probably beat is Dallas no disrespect to the Cowboys fans
Tennessee
Jacksonville and Tennessee again
That's it. Those are only games that they could probably like you know really do their thing really impose their will
But Kansas City late into the season. Oh, that's gonna be a that's gonna be a shootout
That's gonna be a bar fight going up against Baltimore
That's gonna be a bar fight in Detroit Detroit ain't no slouch either. So again
This is we are hitting that part of the season
I will continue to emphasize this and I will continue to say it until I can not say it anymore
we are entering that part of the season where every game matters and
especially your division rival games because they can be the equalizer and
Either pushing you up for seed in the playoffs or put you down in the seed to where you're having to go
Begins a tougher opponent that's on a hot streak and you don't want that so again
this is
It's a loss
But at the same time this could be a loss for the Texas that's needed to get them
refocused
Relocked in and prepare themselves for you know for the remaining part of the season now the question is this
With Stefan Diggs being out for the season
Should the Texas probably go after a receiver as well, you know
I I think it's something that they would have to probably consider at this point because
Joe mixing, you know, he was doing his thing when Joe mixing was getting the ball
He was doing his thing. They were getting first downs. They were extending, you know extending the field and whatnot, but again
CJ Stroud just did not look like himself last night
Some of the throws some of those routine throws. He just wasn't not making and you know, he was he was getting brute
He was gonna beat up. He was gonna beat up pretty bad last night
So hopefully, you know, he can have a turnaround game and you know silence a lot of the
Critics and whatnot that are saying he's going through a sophomore slump and all those different types of things now
Let's go into something that is a little bit more controversial
That I think definitely needs to be addressed at this point with everything that is going on with Anthony Richardson
and that is the lack of quarterback development and the lack of patience that is given to a lot of these
Quarterbacks first, you know, I was definitely one of those people that was on the fence about this and I was like, you know
What maybe he was tired. Maybe he just didn't like really, you know, maybe he just needed to catch his breath or something
but it's like
Sometimes when we say things publicly, they come back to haunt us, right?
And there was a there was a there was a podcast that he was on
I forgot what the podcast is my apologies to them. No disrespect to them and he basically said, you know
Then the fell is easy. It's not really that hard and
You know, that's that
That's false. That's false my friend. That is very false
Because when we look at things if the NFL was so easy, there wouldn't be a whole bunch of people fighting for roster spots
There wouldn't be a whole bunch of people that are settling for being on the practice squad for two or three years and
Never get a real opportunity to have a starting role
Let's be real here. Let's really be honest here because
You know, when you say things like that and then you come out publicly and then you say, yeah, man
I was I was just tired. They're gonna eat you up, man
they're gonna they are going to get you and
You know, I understand the the Colts had had to make a decision because it probably did
Create some friction in the locker room, but at the same time
You knew what you were getting when you drafted Anthony Richardson
You knew that you were getting somebody that did not have a whole lot of playing experience
You know that he was a late bloomer. You knew that so if you knew that he was a late bloomer
Why in the world did you commit to drafting him that high?
Why because again a lot of times
we as
Fans and even people probably in front offices. We look at the ooze and eyes of various players
Oh, they can throw the ball this far. Oh, they're super athletic. Oh, they're super fast. Oh, they're they're super strong
all those all those different intangibles but not at the
experience or the the
Baggage or the time it's going to take in order to bring the best out of them
That is why a lot of times people do not per you know progress
Well when it comes to that transition from college to the pros we see it all the time a lot of those first round picks don't hit and
By by year three. They're already being floated around for either being traded or being cut
Just because they haven't been able to really show anything because people give up on them so quickly and in some ways
It's like damaged goods, right?
You get something and you know, you realize that it's a little bit damaged and you just get rid of it, right?
Better yet
Imagine yourself being a kid and you're going past a toy store and you see the toy store that you know and that you love it
Before I go any further this probably shows you how old I am because you don't even have toy
Toy stores anymore, but moving forward
But imagine you're going past a toy store and there's a particular store
There's a particular toy that you really like and it's in front. It's in the front part of the store
I'm talking about they got it going off. You got it doing its thing and whatnot
And then they got a big old sign over it come get this toy now
That's what you're going to do. You're going to be interested in it
You're going to see it before everybody else sees it before your parents see it before your other siblings see it
All those different types of things and guess what you're going to get pulled into it
And then you're gonna want to feel it you're gonna want to experience it and before you know it guess what?
you're gonna want that toy and
That is exactly what happens a lot of times when these quarterbacks are drafted into the first round you like the ooze and
Oz you like the things that they do
But you don't recognize
The toll and the amount of resources that I have to allocate in order to bring forth their best potential and their best version of
Themselves because the fact of the matter is when Bryce young was in Alabama and he was doing his thing
Oh my god, there was a whole bunch of people saying oh, he's a franchise guy
He's gonna change a franchise
Look at look at you know the way that he runs look look at the arm
You know that that big throw that he made all those different types of things
But now that he's been in the league. Oh, I keep on hearing oh, he's washed. Oh, he can't play the NFL
We can't fit in the league now. They got get him out of here. They got to do something with him
Where where was this when he was in Alabama? Where was this? Where was this?
I didn't see it
I didn't see a whole lot of people identifying the various red flags and you know the things that he may have to
Overcome when he comes into the league. I didn't see that all I saw was a whole bunch of people praising
He has a big arm. He's athletic
He can roll out the pocket and he can do this and he can do that. That's not what it is
Okay, and Mel Kuiper said this best and you know, this is a pretty long quote
But you know, we are going to get through it. Okay. He said this on the Chris Canty
Podcast is on ESP and shout out to Chris Canty. So this is what he says. Okay, and I quote develop doesn't exist
They don't develop quarterbacks anymore. They force feed them. They expect them to be great
They don't like them to work through struggles
Struggles are not tolerating anymore from a young quarterback bad reads and accurate throws
Interceptions mistakes aren't allowed anymore. You're expected to play at a seven-year level when you're a rookie
second-year quarterback the development
Okay, this is important the development the growth of a quarterback to work through make progress
You're not allowed to do that anymore. You're not allowed to because mentally and physically you're destroyed
You're destroyed by getting beat up because you're out
Maybe some of these quarterbacks behind a bad offensive line or they're getting beat up mentally by everybody
Media fans everybody saying you stink. You shouldn't you shouldn't have drafted this guy
Let's draft this guy this year get him out of here
It wasn't like that back in the day and now we're chewing them up and spinning them out early
So the development of a quarterback doesn't exist
That's why I get down to who needs to go back
Gives as much time in college as you're allowed to get get as many starts in college as possible
Eli did it Peyton did it others have done it go back and get those extra dozen
Extra doesn't excuse me extra dozen plus starts and that'll help you deal with the scrutiny and the expectations
That are there for a rookie second-year quarterback in the national football league now
He is right
He is right for once there is something that I can agree with on Mel Kuiper
Which is a lot of quarterbacks now
Do not have a whole lot of playing starts and do not have a lot of experience under their belt
We see on a on a yearly basis at least three three quarterbacks that are drafted in the first round
They do not succeed now
Some of that is because of the situation that they are you know put into some of that is because of a
Lack of attention that the front office, you know gives them some of that is because of you know
Them not having the right coaches and whatnot, but a lot of times they get thrown away like what damaged goods
Case in point Sam Darnall and the Jets got rid of Sam Darnall
Everyone was labeling Sam Darnall as a bus everyone saying he can't be a starting quarterback in the national football league
He can't do it. He can't do the basic necessities to be a quarterback and then guess what?
He went through a little bit of a little bit of you know turbulence went to the Panthers
Okay, cool, then work out the best then he goes to the 49ers
Spends a year under there. Okay, cool goes to the Vikings
Has an opportunity to compete with JJ McCarthy. Unfortunately, JJ McCarthy gets hurt
He becomes a starting quarterback and now we are seeing the best version of Sam Darnall that we have ever seen
This was the version of Sam Darnall that everyone thought that that the Jets were going to get
But a lot of times when you are put into bad situations
Like a lot of these quarterbacks are
The expectation is you are the game changer. You are the person that changes everything that creates a culture and
Exceeds all expectations when it's like no you can't do it and a lot of times
It's even more difficult for quarterbacks who are who are coming from well not coming from but who are coming after a
Legendary franchise quarterback is
Instantly what's going to happen is there's going to be a comparison
Everything that that quarterback does in the first year of their career
They're always going to compare it to the legendary quarterback
And if they do not hit certain thresholds or if they do not do certain things that that legendary quarterback did
Guess what's going to happen? Oh, they're instantly going to throw them another bus
They're gonna say get them out of here. We should have kept that legendary quarterback for one or two years
I've seen it and it does not end well and a lot of times some people can persevere through it
And you know they have successful careers and then there are then there are others who crack under it and they can't handle it, right?
Case in point a lot of times when we look at quarterbacks
They want to be put into stable organizations stable environments
Because if you don't put them into stable environments guess what's going to happen
You are not going to see the best out of them case in point
Bryce him going to the Panthers that was probably the worst place that he could possibly go to because why you have a
dysfunctional owner you have a dysfunctional front office that has not given you the
The supporting cast that you need in order to be successful, right?
Sir you got Xavier Leggett. Cool. He's a rookie, but you really don't have a good offensive line
You have a running back, but you really don't use him as much because Trevor Hubbard is doing more than what he's doing
You don't have a productive tight end
You didn't have a defense so exactly how in the world can you expect them to be?
What they were in college if you don't surround them with talent a
lot of times
quarterbacks are kicked to the curb because a
lot of times GM's are in the mindset that you know
College always produces at least three to five starting caliber quarterbacks a year and so some people they'll just say you know
What we'll just chop it up to the game
We realize that we messed up will try again and keep trying again and keep trying again and keep trying again
Waiting to see for one quarterback to hit and by the time they do that they don't wasted years of
Prime players careers we see it all the time and even then when we go back to to this Anthony Richardson situation
You have to allow him to go through
The the bumps and bruises that is to be a franchise caliber quarterback
You're going to face backlash
You're going to upset some people in your locker room in the front office in the organization of your team
You're going to but guess what?
This is how you learn this is how you become better
This is how you grow and if you don't do it now guess what you'll never have a chance to do it
But let's get into some some comparisons
Okay, because I was able to do a comparison of three different quarterback classes. Okay, so we're going to do the quarterback class of
2023 with Anthony Richardson was was in we're going to do the
2004 quarterback draft class great a very great
quarterback draft class and then we're going to do the
2018 quarterback draft class. Okay, so in 2023, right?
Anthony Richardson had only started 13 games in college
13 games Bryce young started 27 games in college CJ Stroud
Started 25 games in college, right now. You're probably saying, you know
You probably have to factor in COVID and those different types of things and you probably can you most likely gonna have to
But the fact of the matter is
Anthony Richardson has the least amount of college starts
Then the other first round quarterbacks and both Bryce young and CJ Stroud
That's not good. That's not good. I get it. Your draft stock may be high. I get it
You know, you may see that you're being mocked super high and with you being mocked super high
That means you make more money than everybody else. I get all that but there's at some point
Sometimes it's just best to just spend that one more or two more years
Just so you can get more starts because again
the old saying goes
Experience is his best teacher and how in the world can you be better equipped?
better experience to go to the next level of
Playing football if you don't have a whole lot of experience, right?
That's like giving somebody who has no experience a
Supervi a man and a manager job to
Oversee, you know 30 people when they don't have no experience doing it. They're not gonna. They're not gonna succeed
They're not it's instantly going to be a fail now when we look at the 2004 quarterback
Draft class Eli Manning have 43 big Ben had 38 Philip Rivers had 49 college starts
49
now that
Transitioned over to when they were drafted and they got into the league because a lot of the things
That they saw and that they experienced in college. They can now take that with them, right?
They were there wasn't a whole lot of
Teaching that that these teams had to do for these quarterbacks because why they were seasoned
They know what to do. They know different cadences formations all those different types of things
Even then if you wanted to come back even a little bit more recent 2018
Lamar had 38 college starts Josh Allen 27 Sam Donald 27 Baker Mayfield 48 Josh Rosen 30
You're seeing a pattern here, right a lot of these quarterbacks are
Prepared not only mentally, but they are prepared physically
For the toll that is you know that is expected of them when they go into
You know the NFL compared to Anthony Richardson who's only had 13 college stars and he's and he's young
So he's still trying to understand all of these, you know all of these things now
Compared to a lot of these quarterbacks who they've already gone through
You know various different things and they know this and they know that and all those different types of things, right and
You know when we look at it
There is a lack of
development
Case in point the 49ers the 49ers when the when trade lands was coming out of North North Dakota State University
Oh my god, they were head over heels for him. They moved
All the way up they move past five spots
to get trade lands and as soon as train lands got hurt and then once he started to
Not really to to struggle a little bit and then you had various, you know people
Various, you know hall of fame players they used to play for the 49ers like Joe Montana Steve Young
Say certain things about trade lands. Oh, it was over
That experiment was over. They shipped him. They shipped him off to Dallas
Never to be seen from or heard from again. Now. He's a backup. I don't even know what I don't even win
He'll get another opportunity to play again. That is just one of the just a few well not even few but many examples of
Teams who just completely just give up on a quarterback and I get it
You want you you want them to you know be the face of the franchise and you want them to win games and you're in the business
To win games and I get all that I really do but I feel like we don't give quarterbacks
Enough grace to go through, you know the bumps and bruises of being a franchise quarterback because a lot of times
These quarterbacks are being thrusted into the leadership role
You are now the face or one of the faces of this team, right?
And so that is a lot to tack on for a rookie regardless of how old they are regardless of
You know, whatever compliment accomplishments that they have
That's a lot to take on right and even then this goes back to a stat that I pulled up
In previous episodes of God, I think was the episode with the curse of the first
But basically him bow if you don't know who him bow is he's one of the people for for ESPN for for get up
He did he so he compiled some stats and so basically he found
Basically 20 drafts spanning from 2000 to 2018, right and basically
Here is the percentages of hit or miss rates based off of the position, right?
quarterback quarterback
26 hits
30 misses a
46% hit rate a
46% hit rate
That is not good
That is not good and of that 46% you could probably
Flex it a little bit simply because again
It's also really based off of what situation that they are put into
Because sometimes some quarterbacks are lucky enough to be drafted into a stable organization
Like the Ravens like the 49ers like the Patriots
Like the Steelers and whatnot
stable organizations that are going to give them
You know not only time but also going to try to surround them with weapons just to see okay
What do we have in this quarterback, right?
Perfect example, can you pick it?
Can you pick it was supposed to be the you know the leader of the team?
but because of his actions and not wanting to suit up
You know to be the backup quarterback for Mason Rudolph that ruffled the feathers within the locker room and then
To even put more fuel to this flame
They tell him we're gonna bring in competition
They told him that they told him that before they made any of the decisions that they made
Prior to getting Russell Wilson and whatnot. They said we are going to bring in competition
So we can try to bring the best out of you because we still believe in you and guess what he didn't like it and he left
He wanted out because he couldn't handle it
again
quarterback
It's not it's not what people think it you know what people think it is it really isn't if you are a quarterback next year and next year's draft
You sort of have to consider. Hey, do I want to wait another year and you know build up more reps?
And you know get myself better prepared or do I want to just say you know effort and then just go because when if you have that mindset
Most likely you're going to be put into a crappy situation. You're gonna be put into a team that is
Going through a rebuild that has lost a lot of their star players that has limited cap space and a dysfunctional front office and ownership
That's what you're gonna walk into now to some people. They're probably say
I know it'll straighten yourself out and in my second or third year
It's no problem, but a lot of times it doesn't and a lot of times that carries that that carries with you
You know at least the first half of your of your career
And then by the second the second half of your career when you start making some real money
you want to go into you want to go into a place that's stable that you don't have to worry about the owner looking over your shoulder or
You know your your head coach being in the hot seat or you know your office of coordinator not being the best and whatnot
Again, I get it. It's hard, but again, there are certain things
Not even certain things, but we have to give quarterbacks time
Not everybody grows the same some people are late bloomers and take a little bit longer to
Really, you know bring out their best potential some people are a little bit early
You know you just put them in and you know, they're guns blazing, you know the first game of their career
Not everybody is the same and so, you know when you have that on top of
Not surrounding them with the right weapons and the right offensive coordinator and putting them into the rights
You know the right system to be successful if you don't do those small little things
It's gonna have a major effect on the quarterback. It really is case in point
Look at the Ravens the Ravens realize that okay
We have this dual threat quarterback who can beat you with his legs as well as his arm
We have to surround him with talent and what did they do?
They started to
Get him better receivers. They started to get him, you know a better offensive coordinator and what and now look it's paying off
You have to invest into your quarterback like how you buy a house
When you buy a house, you don't just buy a house and then you just don't put no furniture in it
and you don't put no no good China and
No good plates and spoons and you know knives and whatnot
You don't put up no TVs no beds or anything like that. No, you got to put that stuff in there
You got to make sure that the grass is cutting you got to invest into this thing because if you don't invest into it
You're not gonna get anything out of it and that's what happens a lot of times with these quarterbacks
They they throw them into crappy situations. Let's say okay fix it and a lot of times they can't it's not a fix it type of thing
It's a thing where the front office has to realize. Okay, we need to rewrite this wrong right here
We need to you know draft this player to fix this we need to you know
Fix the offensive line or whatnot look at Andrew Luck
Andrew Luck is a perfect example of what happens when the team and the organization
Does not invest into the quarterback the right way
They allowed Andrew Luck to get beaten up for a majority of his career
And by the time that he was done taking all all that abuse he was done with it
He had mentally checked out. He didn't want to do it anymore because why they took too long to invest
Into protecting him and surrounding him with the right weapons
It happens we see it more and more and more
Even there even times where there are quarterbacks who don't want to listen who don't want to take the advice RG3 for example
Kyle Shanahan and Mike Shanahan were telling him listen if you want to survive in this league
You're gonna have to slide they brought in baseball players and experts to show RG3
How to slide he didn't want to listen and guess what happened?
Shortly after he didn't last that long in the league. So again moving forward. I think we
We as fans have to be a little bit more grateful with these cornerbacks. Yes, it's not fun losing
Yes, you want to have bragging rights when you go in the barbershop when you go to school when you go to work
When you're spending time with your family, but again, they are human just as much as we are now
I'm gonna end this episode with the trade talk because yes, we have to end it with trade talk because why I mean
And we're only a few we're only a few days away, you know before the trade that that line is over
So these are just a few names that I thought of you know, and they're probably they'll probably will be more and hopefully will
Have a very active trade that line
You know season so I have Bryce young Buddha Baker today. This white David got child Mike Williams
Coral and Sutton Jacobi Mars Greg Newsome adori Jackson Darius Layton Mike Edwards and Zadaria Smith
Now for Bryce young and Buddha Baker, I left them blank simply because I don't know
Where exactly they would go. I really don't especially for safeties safeties are
are very
It's very rare to see a safety like really get you know traded to you know a better situation
Even when you when you really break it down
Where could someone like a Buddha Baker go?
Because everybody else has a pretty good solid safety
Honestly speaking here like where could you really go same thing for Bryce young?
You wouldn't be the third string quarterback
You probably be the fourth string quarterback or practice squad quarterback, right?
Tredavious white me personally I would say either the chiefs or the commanders just because he is a veteran corner
both of those teams are winning teams and
You know, they would have him
Probably unlimited reps. Honestly speaking here now
Does does Tredavious white does he feel like he can still play?
You know outside corner like how he used to who knows right?
They even got you I would say 49ers Steelers and Ravens and the reason why I have those three teams is because all three of those teams
You know probably need to add more depth at a defensive line, especially interior defensive line
So, you know, you want to you want to try to?
capitalize and reinforce that line because you're about to hit that point where the run game is going to be more
You know more efficient is going to be used more
You know in various offenses
So you want to make sure that that line is not only creating pressure, but is limiting the run
Okay, Mike Williams Texan Steelers 49ers and commanders the commanders do need another receiver
The Steelers do need another receiver the 49ers definitely need another receiver and the Texans need another receiver
Especially with Stefan Diggs, you know going down and especially for the for the 49ers with you know
brand-new being out for the season so
You know, could he possibly you know be moved soon?
I really don't know
Especially, you know with Alizarre going down last week and being and being put on IR not last week
But yesterday and him being put on IR
That you know shifts the focus of Mike Williams now being more involved and you know in the offense
Same thing with Coral and Sutton Coral and Sutton is going to be looking for more for more money
So, you know the Broncos are winning right now
So I don't think the Broncos would want to give up, you know, Coral and Sutton if they do it would have to be something
Significant I don't think it would have to be you know something like a 4-4-5 round pick like you would have to talk
About almost maybe your first round pick for maybe Coral and Sutton. So Kobe Myers. That's very unique
He's very unique simply because you know the Raiders
I don't know if the Raiders will be willing to get rid of Jacobi Myers. I don't know and if they do the question is
what would be the asking price for it because
You can't demand more than what Devonte Adams, you know went for you can't simply because he still has a few years left on his deal
He has a pretty fairly high cap hit. I think around 10 million if I'm not mistaken
So, you know, you have all those different types of things Greg Newsom. That's a very unique one
the commanders do need another corner and
You know you you add a young feisty corner and Greg Newsom to that commander's defense. That's a problem
That's a big problem. That is a very big problem same thing, you know with the Chiefs the Chiefs
You know, they want to bolster up that defense a little bit more
So, you know, what what better person than to do it with you know, Greg Newsom
Same thing with the Dory Jackson. He's not really being utilized as much with that Giants defense
So maybe it's time for him to you know to be put into a different situation
Darius Layton, I don't I'm skeptical with Darius Layton simply because you know
Are the Giants going to try to extend him before the season is over?
Are they, you know, you know keeping him for the next quarterback that they draft?
What exactly are they going to do for Darius Layton because again outside of Malik neighbors?
He's the second best receiver on that team Jalen Hyatt. I couldn't tell you the last time that he's done something
Honestly speaking here Mike Edwards
Again, I don't know because he's a safety and you know safety's
safety's really aren't traded as much and if they do they're put into
either worse situations then you know, then what they were previously in or
You know, they're just simply released and then Zidarius Lyons Ravens 49ers all three of those teams need
Pass rushers immediately. They need somebody that can plug and play right now
But hopefully we see something crazy happen
Who knows you may you may see something after after this episode because remember
every time that we are getting ready to start
Start the episode or doing the episode or the episode is getting ready to
Get ready to be published guess what something happens before I end this episode
I do have to break some news unfortunate news guard Kenyon green for the Texans is out
For the season with a shoulder injury
My guess is probably a torn peck or something like that
But prayers to him and whatnot. Hopefully he makes a speedy recovery. The question is what are the Texans going to do now?
Because I know they have Kendrick green
The question is are they going to move forward with him for the rest of the season?
Are they going to try to bring us somebody else to possibly, you know add reinforcements in?
