okay here at nathe underscored Jacobson. I can't, and I'm not
really sure there. But why are the Jets not in
the conversation for Lamar Jackson? Haven't seen him anywhere. Am
I missing something?
Well sure. Those would be that would be like to what Dad has
said here. You talk about teams that maybe you know come out of
the Woodworks here over the next week. If they don't get
the answer, they want from Aaron Rodgers and
that doesn't happen.
Then I wouldn't be shocked to start to hear. Wait, Joe
Douglas,
who's got a history?
You know, with the Baltimore Ravens
and worked there at one point that all the sudden they're
interested in Lamar Jackson, I wouldn't be shocked. One of
those teams. I think that,
you know, I agree with you, Dad, that could kind of,
you know. Yeah, start to rise in this conversation as they
start to realize. Wait, you know, what are we going to do
with this position? Aaron? Rodgers is our main target, but
maybe now we turn our attention
to to Lamar Jackson.
Yeah, yeah, I think that's possible. I think the gem cell
they want a veteran. Yeah, I think I heard you talk about it
this morning. This is what I've always believed that they go
out there. They get Aaron Rodgers
that give Zach Wilson, you know, they'd like to see and
not make this rash decision and just get rid of him. Let's give
him a little more time and see if he turns into
the quarterback. We think he
could be or should be. And I think that's a good a big
driving force for the New York Jets.
Yeah. Or tent with Aaron Rodgers.
After one year or two years whatever that happens to be
is Zach Wilson. Really ready by then to take over
and you don't what's the rush with all these things with
quarterback. Sometimes it's just,
it's just such year-to-year game. The game, love them, hate
them, whatever it is. But I think that's the big reason why
the Jets
won. He fits the offensive. Coaches are right Aaron Rodgers
does
and to the transition if they can get him back again
to Zach Wilson. Yeah, the ear
If you bring in Lamar
then hey, it's a whole different offense, they can fix
it. They could do that but then it kind of changes there. Yeah,
the future out, we're going to operate, that's for sure. Yeah,
that's exactly right. You know, and then that, you know, one
thing
I want to like, just go off of what you said, like, five year
guaranteed contract, right? I mean, again, it's so rare,
right? It is. And in fact, that again, it's we're going into
your six of the career.
It's even more rare
where
You know, but guys like you know, Joe Borough even and and
Josh Allen, what he has
Josh, Allen's contract. I mean, if things went South,
they would be able to get out of it after your for
they could. I mean really so that would be you know a little
bit of an issue there but just to explain or give some context
you know that it's
just so rare that way and even with jobber oh
he's going to sign a huge deal. We know that
but I guarantee even with his awesome as he is.
There's going to be like after year three or four
a wait, if you did have some crazy injury or you did fall
off Earth and start not playing. Well, you're not going
to get a
fifth year or 60 million dollar payday with that as well.
So, that I just to give the people a little more contacts
in that situation, just wanted to do that. We're going to hit
more on
the Packers and Jets and a minute. So, I don't want to
dive too much far.
As far as the Packers, the Jets Jets and the Aaron Rodgers
conversation. I don't want to go too. Down that Wormhole
right yet. All right, another one from a man
at Andrew grills. I'm a Pats fan
and a Mac Jones fan, but it's known that Belichick is
a massive Lamar fan. What are the chances of Pat's making a play
for Jackson and trade Mac to the Raiders? Wow,
interesting little wrinkle there. I don't see that happening.
I don't, you know, one,
I think the style of football that
New England wants to play is still more
Mac Jones. It right? They got Billy O'Brien back in
the building. They've never really done that.
I don't know. The team is more situated. I think to go Mack
Jones, it wouldn't be crazy to go Lamar Jackson, but I just
don't see them making moves trading her way to first-round
picks or and then giving
a top of the market deal to a quarterback where they wouldn't
even give Tom Brady, a top of the market deal. And when he
was winning four and five Super Bowls, I just don't see them
being the type of team that does that.
Yeah. One You know, Bill O'Brien, the offensive
coordinator, you and I were talking before we came on
the air, what a really good offense. He ran down
in Alabama.
It was truly, I, you know, I almost hate the phrase Pro
style but it was well designed get it down the field, easy for
the quarterback to make Reeves which rice, young did.
And but it's just saying this,
I mean, they can still run the offense, they run now and all
you do is put in a few runs for the corner, right it. So and
they did have a camera.
You're right, you're right. Right? You don't have to
reshuffle everything in the world because oh my God, we
can't, we can't figure out how to do a quarterback run.
I mean, you know, so that's crazy
but that's how everybody thinks that every play in The Playbook
on offense has to be changed because now we have Lamar.
Yeah, no, I know it's
not all the drop back passes.
It's not something you got to design just for him
the runs. Yeah, those are for him
and those are pretty good. So
I think building
And if he was faced with this he goes he could do it,
my offense and we'll run it. But we're going to have about 8
to 10 runs in there from Tomorrow every game and
everybody deal with that. Yeah the
pretty incredible go degree. It's an overblown subject.
You're right. It's not this day and age or 20 20, 30,
even teams that don't have good running. Quarterbacks have some
quarterback design runs and their playbook. So, it's way
over talked about over thought about subject. All right. Next
one
at
hewn Chang Ji Okay, human Chang ji. Excuse me, for my
pronunciation is wrong. There
should the Commander's go all in on Lamar. I think
the Commander's have a really good almost complete team, and only
need a QB in a whole line, which they can fix through
the drafter, free agency.
I don't disagree with that. They be one of the teams that
I would put in that Jets category to go. Let's wait a week or so,
let's see how they kind of.
You know, think things out
maybe get a feel.
Maybe they do get in contact with Lamar Jackson some time
here. When You know, the league year officially starts and they
start to get a feel for where his brain is at in this whole
conversation
and maybe they do get but that would be certainly be a team
that I look at to go. It's set up their dysfunctional
if they want to sell tickets and sell out the stadium, that
fan base, they will come there to see Lamar Jackson, that's
for sure. And
I don't disagree with the point that,
you know, other than 0 line. There's some weapons to play
with there and there's a lot of damn good guys on the defense
to where it does make sense. For the Commander's. I don't
think it's a
Crazy thought to couple those two together. What about you Dad?
Hey put Lamar behind Center. There the old on to be a lot
better.
Okay, that's first thing. It he just that's going to affect
the offensive line right away. Make them better make them more
aggressive because we're going to have some quarterback runs
and besides Atlanta, I think Washington makes great sense.
Ron Rivera, you need to win. You need to do this,
you got to be more than 20. We're going to have a losing
record, make the play on Friday or anything like that. I think
it's it's a big year for Ron Rivera
and gosh think about him
it's really kind of up. His alley,
helps his defense a little bit and you know
the quarterback running which we saw him do with Cam Newton
and everything. He knows what it does for his football team
and what it does to defenses. So it makes a lot of sense to
skill group is really good
and Washington. So
that I think it's just one thing. Christopher, and that's
the owner
and that's laying out a lot of money. Yeah.
All right. Maybe he want to do that now. So he's
I guess still trying to sell the team. I don't even read
about it. I don't care
if they you know I just don't it's just all my gosh every
week. It's a different story and I know you guys got to talk
about it but I don't. Yeah and now you don't get to thank God.
You're right because I'm just thank God is right? You're
right. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know,
you know signing a little more I would think would make it
more valuable for him to sell it to some owner and go. Look,
it's the the Washington commanders and you got your
franchise quarterback. Back and
also will say yeah it could go either way there. I know it's
an interesting one that makes sense for for Ron Rivera yeah
team where they're wrapped or not like I don't look at them
and go man they have no chance to win games this coming year,
you know, they got a lot of players they,
you know, they have a ton of high-end players, yes, they
just don't have enough of the middle ground, right? Those
guys, it really make up your team sometimes because there's
so many album, but they got,
they got the high-end covered. I think except the quarterback
I'm with, I'm gonna do there to the And again, they showed us
some some moments last year where you went. Well, they got
some Elite parts of their football team that
can compete against anybody,
okay? Last one about Lamar, with all the teams that are out
on the morrow, do the Titans, make the most sense tons of
money in 2024.
I'll go first at, I don't see that, you know, again, I think the
the Titans are a little bit in a
somewhat. They got a little bit of a got to refurbish retool
their team, a little, you know,
right, you know, the offense of line not It's the same as it
was you know the last few years there's a reason they got
Derrick Henry on the trade market
they need a receiver.
They think that's got to be part of their
free agency. Draft plan,
you know, pass rushers,
you know they gave Bud Dupree a ton of money off of a pretty
bad ACL injury that didn't work out. So he's gonna be gone
Harold, Landry is coming back from a David long as a free
agent, you know. So there's too many holes, I think on that
football team
and just me on the outside looking in
I do believe That variable and with ran carthon is the new GM
that their their team guys. More than like, hey let's just
go in on one guy and then try to figure it out off of that.
That would just be my assessment. So I guess I don't
see that one happening.
Yeah, I don't see it happening at all. I think it's a remake
down there. You said it. The guys are going to let go Taylor
Lewan, you know, the offense, right, and not close. It's
I think it's just one of the reasons why they're probably
they're going to hang onto Ryan Tannehill, I guess, right? Am I
right or wrong? I would think so. Yes,
look like at least
Gives them some hope to get something done. Even though
Ryan Tannehill, which I think he threw the football
as well as any year in his career last year,
but he's Ryan Tannehill. Oh yeah, you know hey
his talent is every bit up there with Derek Cars and
whoever you know you bring all this at one group of
quarterbacks in there.
Yeah. Yeah. Ran carthon first year general manager.
You kind of want to reshape the football team. I think he's
doing the right thing. And they got to kind of change who they
are a little bit too. You know, the way they play is great
or good and it should have got them to a championship game or
Super Bowl here in the last few years. But it didn't,
because the way they play, Christopher does. What
the margin of error is just not
exactly right on the beach or bud 22:17 17:14.
And that's hard to do now in the NFL just because of skill
systems and of course quarterback. Yeah, exactly.
Right. Yeah, you get into those games.
You know, Joe burrow or Mahomes? I'm and it's a playoff
game. I'm more time. Did it go? Well. Okay, your team might be
better but those guys are at quarterback and they got
the ball late in the game. I'm going with
them just like I did in the Super Bowl with that guy at
quarterback. So yeah I think you're right about that.
There's not a lot of
room for error there and
they might have to readjust the way they play a little bit.
Alright let's switch gears it's enough Lamar Tak Lamar talk we
both want to see Lamar get paid I think at the end of the day
we both are huge Believers in this Talent.
You Read and write it's an elite arm. Of course, this
Elite movement Elite competitor, you know, has
an effect on the locker room again.
I know some of the negatives. I was bringing up. I'm bringing
them up from the other the franchise part. You've got to
be realistic here. We gonna keep it real? Or we going to
everybody in the world, I think that's what's going on a little
bit here. So that this morning and I can't take it. I know,
I just, I got a feel for it last night so
that's all we're going here. And at the end of the day,
I think both of you with both of us would sit here and go Lamar.
Please hire an agent. Please do that because we want to see you
get, compensated, fairly the right way and we want to see
you, get your Justice through the NFL world. We really do.
