00:00we have a massive red flag about jaylen thompson after new jersey numbers were announced
00:07sean oh gosh i'm gonna have to go through grades on these and i'm gonna try to put biases aside
00:13because i think there is nothing worse that's happened to the game of football than when they
00:19decided to start letting everybody just like pick any number you want it's the wild west worse than
00:23cte worse way worse than cte i can forget about the number things if i had cte so this is
00:30way worse
00:31but the number decision is an awful one because you end up with just some ugly matches like because
00:38players were like well that was my favorite number so like you end up getting i'm a big time defensive
00:43end and i'm gonna wear 39 oh like you that's disgusting what are you doing uh so we've got
00:47some bad choices here but i'm gonna try and put aside that i'm just gonna like try to judge it
00:51based on the new world that we live in uh rashaun gary is wearing number seven i'm giving this a
00:56c
00:57i don't think you can be a bulky pass rusher the way he is and then wear seven yeah but
01:02i think it's
01:02still better than when he wore 52 52 was not a good look are we buying that rashaun gary's burner
01:08account was discovered man i don't know so probably aiden aiden's buying it a little bit probably because
01:15it got deleted as soon as people pointed it out and i don't think anybody just defend maybe it's a
01:20family member the burner to be fair was like defending rashaun and not like crazy no it was
01:26just like female porn stars no no it's just it was like you don't even know what he goes through
01:31he's he's a really great pastor like christy noem's husband it was yeah it was it was way more
01:36than that it gave off vibes to me honestly almost family member using an account and just not putting
01:42their name on it but it was definitely a rashaun gary fan account that's all they tweeted about
01:46um all right so that so gary's what number seven i don't love it don't love it but it's it's
01:54better
01:54than 52 i i don't i have no problem generally with changing numbers i i like i hate it because
02:00i'm a
02:01i'm a college fan first right and like this happens a lot in college but i feel like receivers
02:06wear 80s defensive ends pass rushers wear 90s 20s for the defensive backs sometimes 30s very rarely
02:1240s but like their rules here and then seven is just not a good number for a natural yeah like
02:18i
02:18don't care i don't mind a receiver wear number one actually i do but i hate the number one i
02:22don't
02:22think any player should wear number one that's that's a great transition number one pj lock i'm gonna
02:28go b minus so i don't think db should wear number one i don't think anybody other than probably
02:33like kickers returner yeah maybe like a returner um but if you're gonna wear number one i think
02:38generally it's like well you should be a badass if you're gonna wear number one we don't have a
02:41great history of people using number one here and being a badass but when i think of like his build
02:47and stuff i could see number one being a fitting number number two kobe durant b plus solid choice
02:53for durant there that was the number jordan lewis was wearing i've kind of become accustomed to it being
02:57a defensive backs number at this point and previously you just said that to be in the 20s maybe no
03:01i
03:01know but i'm saying in the new world that we operate under of like these are what numbers
03:05they're giving out i'm becoming more accustomed to seeing that's how it's going to be assigned
03:09because previously number two was a kicker number to me i didn't think a quarterback should wear it
03:12anybody else so if you want to co-opt it and make it your own that's a little better this
03:17is a gross
03:17one 13 sam howl uh what's the problem so dan marino's 13 okay okay that's a quarterback who's 13
03:25i don't think any other quarterback could pull that number off you think 13 should be retired like
03:30jackie robinson no no no no um certainly not for somebody who wasn't a winner are we gonna retire
03:34josh allen's number two um you brought i'm sure he was given the short end of the stick here his
03:38number was already uh let's see 17 one two and seven were picked he can't have eight or 12
03:44dak has four milton has 10 aubry has 17 i'm sure there were limited options here it's just 13 is
03:50kind
03:50of gross i don't like your worst your worst grading here's the worst perfectly acceptable here's the
03:55worst f minus and gives me major questions about his ability to make decisions read and react
04:03all sorts of questions here save all this for oxnard i'm making and give us jalen thompson
04:09and we're going to see if bobby mans up oh and and when we replay this clip to him yeah
04:14just i'll be
04:15able to do it as long as he's not wearing the number jersey so that i because i would vomit
04:19if he
04:19up on set wearing this f minus for number 34 34 is strictly a fullbacks number a fullback where's
04:2934 or just some was a philip tanner 34 some reserve play that's a back it's a running back it's
04:34either
04:35it's a it's a fullback or at the very least it is going to be generally like special teams running
04:39back is generally what it is that's not a number for a starting player who's going to be a big
04:44contributor on your defense especially when what numbers these were available 42 41 39 29 24 all
04:54better numbers no problem with it 24 is a you pick 24 that's what he should be that's a corner
04:59that's a corner if you're talking about okay then 29 29 is a better number 41 is a safety is
05:04a decent
05:05number 42 and 41 are good number in the 40s playing you know 30 30 the 30 is the cutoff
05:12the 30s are the
05:1334 is just bulky and ugly and not for a defensive name the best player you can think of the
05:21bucky
05:21jones who was a 34 34 defensive back who's a badass i don't even know that i could think of
05:29one but i
05:30can you can still think of somebody like a 47 like i think of like ryan mcneil was 47 he
05:34was a decent
05:34player i don't think of ryan mcneil at all who do you think of i don't know i'm literally i
05:37just
05:38i don't i don't think of revel look at anybody okay or no green brian davis so like he's out
05:44savone revel i think that says it all all right let's talk about parker that let's talk about
05:49a number not available to anybody number eight uh and that's because not because they've retired
05:54the number but because number eight is owned i guess by the miami dolphins now that is troy
05:57a couple different stories about troy and the miami dolphins jeff halfley
06:02was talking to the media last week and he was being asked about hey what's uh what's it what's
06:08been like having troy eggman around he'd said that troy eggman's been a great sounding board for him
06:12he's been able to bounce ideas off of him this was this had florio in a tizzy that jeff halfley
06:17was
06:17talking about maybe michael have the stones to talk about it since he wanted to silence chris simms
06:22then yesterday on russini john eric sullivan the new general manager there they continue to expand
06:30the visibility of trakeman he is going to be in the war room with the miami dolphins during the
06:35draft now they said he's not going to be consulted about picks don't believe that oh i just i mean
06:41why is he in the war room if they say like if they say he's not studied it so he
06:46wouldn't weigh in that
06:46way fine but if they're saying oh we're going to be above board we're not going to ask him his
06:50opinion
06:50i don't believe that and this is to me and this is the controversial take i'm going to have today
06:56this to me the connection with aikman and given the position that he's in what he's doing
07:00this to me is just as bad as what's going on with russini oh wow just as bad podcast just
07:10as just as
07:10bad in terms of what not like morally obviously like anything but in terms of you talk about the
07:15conflict of interest and the questions it raises about i think this is worse the ability yeah i think
07:22it's actually worse yeah people fight with their lovers all the time you could be mad at him and
07:27then cover them poorly it's very very different yeah um clearly i don't consider like troy's not a
07:33journalist for one so he doesn't is that into the he doesn't have to adhere to the journalistic ethics
07:39and troy's not doing some of the things that she was right and he's not he's not an insider
07:43not breaking news but this is in there high-fiving shaking hands like yeah we got the guy that's gonna
07:50be an awful look on tv to me yeah i mean i wouldn't he has to be banned from the
07:57other
07:57facilities like tom he would have to i would think he would have to and the nfl will not give
08:01florio this will be the final nail for the league cracking down florio this to me is like this sounds
08:07like you're an executive for them and you're like this sounds more involved than brady now i also think
08:12the raiders have done their best to try and hide how much brady's involved they're not openly talking
08:16about it as much as miami seems to be but the dolphins seem to just be if it's a rule
08:21they seem
08:22to be just flaunted like okay big deal who cares we're gonna put him here i just i think this
08:26is
08:27gonna be such a poor look and obviously john eric sullivan and jeff halfley the two guys who have
08:31weighed in on this recently talked about his presence and things aikman hired them basically
08:35or he was the advisor that got them the jobs so clearly there's gonna be a relationship there and
08:40they've got these sort of connections and these favorable thoughts and feelings towards them
08:43but this one i don't know why the nfl will not talk about it because florio florio and other
08:49outlets have an easy precedent like the long decision making and the tough thinking already
08:54has been done for the first case which was tom yeah tom and now you have it here with joy
08:59because
09:00i mean look i mean imagine espn draft coverage and they're like and then in the war room you see
09:05our lead commentator troy aikman as he's celebrating the dolphins pick yeah i think it'll look cool like
09:10for fans and the league oh yeah it'll look cool but like if i was the league uh like office
09:16up top
09:17i'd be like he's a he's a former player so so obviously like it's got a different weight to it
09:22it does imagine if we cut to the cowboys war room and we're like ah there you see trading high
09:26fives
09:26jay glazer everybody would be like what right yeah it would but it'd be more like romo if romo was
09:32in
09:32their trade of us which i think you know what i assume i think most people say you saw romo
09:38in the
09:38titans war room then because romo plays for the cowboys that's weird yeah that's weird if he played
09:42for the cat if he's in the cowboys war room high-fiving i think i think most people assume
09:46tony romo's a cowboy if marino was in there nobody would say anything about marino but like there are
09:50all these sort of things yeah they go well that's kind of their family so right when aikman's doing
09:53it with miami it's like that's a job it's a job that is a job you've been hired absolutely right
09:58if aikman was just in the cowboys warm high-fiving i don't think anybody has a problem with that
10:02because it's like all right he's a cowboys fan i almost kind of chuckle over the flippancy like at the
10:08miami is just like flaunting it and troy and troy's like yeah what are you gonna i'm gonna i'm
10:14gonna be on tv in the war room they have to let's get to troy aikman live with reaction here
10:20on he's
10:20like guys i'm in the war room here doing my dolphins job he instead of jeff darlington they
10:25sent aikman out to miami my dolphins made a great pay like if he's calling a dolphins game next year
10:30hey do a mock do an ai aikman on miami's picks i need to i'll need to create an ai
10:34aikman
