00:00There's been a lot of smoke, Tyrone, on Kenny Walker, the Super Bowl MVP who got released, of course, by
00:06the Seattle Seahawks.
00:07His contract expired.
00:08He got released.
00:09He didn't get released.
00:10He didn't renew his contract, no new contract.
00:12I know you won the MVP, but we hate your guts because we have a guy with, you know, a
00:17torn ACL on the sideline that we think is going to be better than you.
00:20And we know you're only 25 years old, but, you know, we're so cocksure in what we do.
00:24We're going to let the Super Bowl MVP walk out of Seattle with our new starting running back, won't be
00:30able to play in September because of an injury, and we're going to let you go somewhere else to help
00:34another team, despite the fact you're only 25 years old.
00:37You could have franchised him for $14 million and brought him back as your starting running back and then traded
00:43him if you wanted to at some point when Charbonneau, whatever his name is, comes back from the injury.
00:48So every now and then, I think NFL executives outsmart themselves.
00:52A 25-year-old stud running back, and I know they're knocking him, he doesn't catch the ball well out
00:58of the backfield.
00:59So what?
01:00And they say he's bad at blitz pickup as well, and that's what they claim.
01:02So what?
01:03That's what they claim.
01:04You won a Super Bowl because that guy was on the field.
01:06You take Kenneth Walker off Seattle, an argument could be made as bad as New England was in that game,
01:11you might lose that Super Bowl 6-3.
01:14That's on the table.
01:15Yeah.
01:16So anyway, a lot of people think that my guy, Kenny Walker, who I love, by the way, I've been
01:21a canine guy since he came into the league out of Michigan State.
01:25I will tell you this, and Wake Forest before that, that was my dog right there.
01:30I will tell you this if I made Tyrone, can I?
01:32Sure.
01:33Everyone thinks he's going to the Giants, and I keep telling everybody, this is called an NFL professional smokescreen.
01:40The New York Giants are not signing Kenneth Walker.
01:45The New York Giants are also not drafting a running back at number five.
01:49I keep telling people that, too.
01:51Now, the question to all you guys is, why, and how do I know this?
01:54Well, I know this because today the New York Giants restructured a bringing back Montgomery, one of their three running
02:00backs.
02:01Obviously, you've got a rookie contract on Scadaboo coming back from the gruesome leg injury.
02:06Yep.
02:06But they do think he'll be back ready to go in time for training camp.
02:08Yeah, he will be.
02:09And you have Tyrone Tracy, who, while not a great running back, certainly a competent running back, okay?
02:15Possible for sure.
02:16Yeah, plus the New York Giants offense is not built around the running game.
02:20The New York Giants offense is being built around what?
02:23Jackson Dart.
02:25So, at some point, you've got to recognize when smoke is being blown your way.
02:30This is one of those times where it's nothing but smoke.
02:34Kenneth Walker, and I think this is a bad decision for the Giants, if you ask me.
02:39Kenneth Walker is not going to be a New York Giant.
02:43And I'll tell you this.
02:44I know the Kansas City Chiefs did that trade with the Rams, and now they've got the 9 and
02:49the 19, I think it is, in the first round of the draft.
02:529 and 29.
02:54Is it 29, not 19?
02:55Yes.
02:56Fact check that, please.
02:57Two first round picks.
02:58Just fact check it so we get it right.
02:59Okay.
03:00I'm not saying you're wrong, but let's make sure we get it right.
03:03It might be 9 and 29.
03:05Maybe you're right.
03:05I'll take the loss on that.
03:07So, I know they hope that Jeremiah Love falls to them at 9, and that's probably their first
03:12pick in the draft.
03:13But if I'm the Kansas City Chiefs, and I can go get 25-year-old Super Bowl MVP, Kenneth
03:21Walker, and then not draft the running back at 9 or 29?
03:25It's 29.
03:26Good job on that, Tyrone.
03:27I'll take the loss.
03:28Tyrone was right.
03:30I'm all about it.
03:33Can you block, though?
03:34You see, fundamental.
03:35Again, with the knocks on this guy.
03:37No, it's not.
03:37No, no, no, no, no, no.
03:38He's the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
03:40No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
03:41And their biggest need, talking about Kansas City, who you just mentioned, they can't block.
03:48You have a quarterback that's coming back from an injury.
03:50I think their needs, both in free agency and in a draft, investing in the trenches,
03:56So I'm getting some offensive linemen.
03:57It's not a great offensive lineman draft, so the experts say.
03:59I wouldn't know about that, but go ahead.
04:01So what I'm saying is at 9, if he comes to you, if a guy comes to you at 9,
04:04fine.
04:05Okay.
04:05But at 29, for sure, draft an offensive lineman.
04:08That's fine.
04:08I'm with you on that.
04:09For sure.
04:09Okay.
04:10And I don't think you go that route.
04:11I believe Kenneth Walker, I think I believe I know the team he's going to.
04:15I think he's going to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
04:17You think Kenny Walker goes to the Steelers?
04:19Yep.
04:19They don't have a quarterback right now, either.
04:21Either or a running back.
04:22All right.
04:22They don't have a good running game, either.
04:24Kenneth Gainwell, who was really good for them, is a free agent, as well.
04:27He's going to get a big raise.
04:28You'd probably rather play Kenny Walker than Kenneth Gainwell.
04:32Oh, I would do that, too.
04:33And I believe he ends up in Pittsburgh.
04:34I think he's also younger than Kenny Gainwell, too.
04:36He is a little younger.
04:37Kenny Gainwell is not an old player, but he's only 25 years old.
04:40Yeah.
04:40So, look, I just think it's happened a few times in, obviously, NFL history,
04:45where the Super Bowl MVP does not return to the team he won it with.
04:49That guy typically gets a big contract or had a great Super Bowl or a postseason run.
04:54Yeah.
04:54The first guy that comes to mind is Larry Brown.
04:56Yep.
04:56The defensive back, who had, I think, a couple picks and a pick six.
05:00Yep.
05:00In a Super Bowl.
05:01Got a huge contract and stunk after that.
05:03Yep.
05:03Got it.
05:04He was on an episode of New York Undercover, though.
05:06That was he?
05:06Remember the show?
05:07Yeah.
05:07They put him on the head off of that.
05:09He porlayed it to an episode of New York Undercover.
05:12Good for him.
05:12Yeah.
05:12Good for him.
05:13So, again, if you're a diehard Giants fan, I know there's a lot of smoke
05:18that Kenneth Walker's going to be a Giant, but bringing back Montgomery,
05:22having Scadaboo, having Tracy under contract, it just doesn't make sense.
05:28The Giants have so many other needs that are not running back,
05:32they are not getting Kenny Walker.
05:34But whoever does is going to be grateful they do,
05:38because that kid can flat out play.
