00:00Some cab casualties in the National Football League, Jeremy.
00:02Any of them tickle your fancy?
00:04I mean, look, if you're looking for a center in the Linderbaum,
00:07things are not going to work out.
00:08You saw the Cowboys moved on from their guard center.
00:12It's tough because, again, even looking at people that know a ton about football,
00:16and I would say everybody in this room knows a ton about football,
00:19when it comes to interior linemen, how many could you name?
00:22Yeah, not a lot.
00:23You know, it's not a cop-out.
00:26Nobody brings up their name except for the best ones in the league.
00:29Or the worst.
00:30Yeah, for lately.
00:32No, evidently not.
00:33He's going to get paid.
00:34McCobbe Beckton.
00:36McCobbe Beckton is the worst.
00:38But, again, I think this Ravens team has always done well with street-free agents.
00:43They don't want it to affect the compensation picks.
00:45And when it comes down to it, I can see them, as I call it, the dented can theory.
00:49You go out and you get the ones that are dinged that don't cost you a ton.
00:53Hey, this is a discount.
00:54I'll take this for a year or two.
00:56And I feel like with the system that they could have in place with Minter,
00:59whether that's defense or even offense with Doyle coming in, that you can mix and match
01:04and find the right pieces to make this work.
01:06But they have their work ahead of them.
01:07Because the first thing you have to get done is this Lamar contract extension to know what you have.
01:12Raven fans have united, Ed, because no one has said anything about Stephon Diggs.
01:17Not a peep.
01:18Not a peep.
01:19They finally united.
01:20By the way, I would be more...
01:22I think you would have a couple years ago.
01:23Yeah, I would have been more interested in Alec Pierce, Darnell Mooney with Atlanta.
01:28Who else do we have there?
01:29There's another deal.
01:30Oh, Rashid Shahid hasn't worked out a deal with Seattle.
01:33I would be interested more in those guys than Stephon Diggs.
01:37Yeah, me too.
01:38Plus, Shahid, because she's a returner, too.
01:40I was just going to say, yep.
01:42Yeah, no one wants Diggs.
01:43Diggs, his better years are way behind him, in my opinion.
01:47And on top of that, he's bringing some baggage that probably Baltimore just doesn't want.
01:52We're not that kind of city.
01:53You know what I mean?
01:54They don't want that.
01:57There's no real casualties that, other than who you named, Jeremy, that I'm interested in right now.
02:04I think I'm more interested in the draft.
02:06If they work out a trade for somebody, okay.
02:09But there's no one.
02:10I mean, out of the street agents, I'm not.
02:12I mean, the street free agents, I'm not working.
02:14I'm glad you said that, because I was hoping we weren't just going to have to pick somebody.
02:17Because I feel exactly the same way.
02:19I looked at the people who were released.
02:21I'm like, yeah.
02:23It doesn't affect this team at all.
02:25And nobody there.
02:26The biggest news, I mean, there were some big ones.
02:28I mean, Kyler Murray getting, you know.
02:30Nope.
02:30Getting a walkie pay.
02:31No, no.
02:31Obviously, we don't need him.
02:33But the McDuffie trade just kind of blew me away.
02:36The cornerbacks are so highly prized.
02:38He's a two, not one, two-time All-Pro.
02:40And they felt fine saying, nope.
02:42That's what they do in Kansas City, man.
02:43Yeah.
02:43They don't pay them cornerbacks.
02:45Now, let's go back to, I asked you guys this yesterday.
02:49With Kyler Murray.
02:51A lot of people are talking about Miami.
02:53Yeah.
02:54Is Miami willing to roll that dice again on an undersized quarterback?
02:57And I'm not saying undersized quarterbacks in the National Football League are a problem.
03:01Russell Wilson was outstanding.
03:03Drew Brees was outstanding.
03:04Baker Mayfield.
03:05He's undersized for being undersized.
03:07Yes.
03:07He is.
03:08But it didn't work for them.
03:10So, normally, when one doesn't work, do you go to the same style?
03:14You normally go opposite of that style.
03:16Yeah.
03:16They should go out and get Brock Osweiler's six, seven asses.
03:18He's still alive.
03:19Anyway.
03:20Again, like...
03:20He's broadcasting.
03:21Is he?
03:22Yeah.
03:22So, with the way that things set up for Miami, I question what they want to do in the offseason.
03:28Because they're sitting there with an opportunity.
03:30They basically cut all their good players, or a lot of their good players, with a chance for,
03:35as everyone called it, the March for Arch, right?
03:38Do you want to be the team that gets the number one pick when Arch Vandy's coming out?
03:41And I don't even know what type of pro he's going to be, but you have that last name, which
03:45makes people interested.
03:48I think he's going to be pretty fine.
03:49I think, to be honest with you, I think the hiccups that he had last year are going to
03:55make him better this year.
03:56I do.
03:57I think he's going to have the season, this upcoming season, that we thought he was going
04:00to have that last year.
04:00You're talking about Arch.
04:01Arch.
04:01Look, I believe in the kid, but he looked more like an athlete than a thrower of the football
04:06that first year with Texas.
04:08I'm not saying he couldn't throw the deep ball, but there were a lot of times where
04:11I felt like he looked more like Cam Newton playing football than a pocket passer back
04:16there.
04:17He was taking off and running a lot.
04:20And that may not last long, but it'll get you drafted in the first round.
04:23Oh, I don't doubt that.
04:25I think he's going to be the number one overall pick regardless.
04:27Yeah, I think.
04:28But that's what I'm saying.
04:29Nothing wrong being Cam Newton.
04:30If you're Miami or you're the New York Jets, how do you perceive this season coming in?
04:34Because I'm sure Aaron Glenn wants to win.
04:36I mean, he just had a terrible season, right?
04:39Yeah.
04:39The New York Jets, yeah.
04:40And with Miami, you've got a brand new coach.
04:43Maybe he's willing, if the ownership's saying, hey, look, we understand this is going to be
04:46a bad season.
04:47We need to get through this, but we're set up for this next year.
04:50I could see a bunch of that stuff happening, them moving other pieces, including the ones
04:54they already cut.
04:54Would you want to take a job where they're telling you year number one or year number two
04:59is going to be bad?
05:00We want you to take it.
05:00Would you be willing to take that job?
05:03Not if I had a two-year contract.
05:04I would definitely want it, yes, because I think the best jobs to take are turnaround
05:11jobs, where you can do, you have some minor successes and look like a genius because places
05:19so burned to the ground.
05:20So yeah, there is an advantage to doing that.
05:22But see, here's the deal.
05:24If you're taking a turnaround job where you're in control, that's fine.
05:28If you're taking a turnaround job where someone is telling you, no, we're going to suck for
05:32about one or two years because we want more draft picks.
05:34You're not in control of that.
05:35I don't want to take that job.
05:37Well, I mean, if they say like, if it's like that, then they're talking about it's borderline
05:41tanking.
05:42Yeah.
05:42You know, that they don't want to succeed.
05:44You know, it's going to build up draft capital.
05:46Yeah.
05:46If I'm turning around, Jeremy, and I'm in control of the turnaround, yeah, I'll take that.
05:51But if you're telling me you have a plan, I got to follow your plan for the first year
05:54or two, I don't want to take that job.
05:56I got you.
05:57I mean, some guys, though, like we've seen it before, it's like, take the job.
06:00Certain guys, like we've talked about in baseball with Albie, and then of course, Ben Johnson
06:06with the Lions, when he turned down jobs because he knew he was good enough to get the job he
06:11wanted.
06:11And when Chicago opened up, he's like, that's where I want to go.
06:14And I think the same thing with Jesse Minter here.
06:16I think, you know, turning down other jobs, looking at this is where he wanted to go, because
06:20you look at the organization and the success they've had.
06:22Greg Albanese, I know a different sport, but he turned down jobs until he got the one he
06:26wanted.
06:26But there's a lot of guys that don't get the opportunity.
06:28They turn down a job, and all of a sudden, it's like, man, I don't want him now.
06:33So sometimes you got to take the one that you get.
06:37I ain't taking that.
