00:00All right, touch table on some football before we get back to business.
00:04David Music, guide us, please.
00:08The draft is just a couple days away.
00:11There's some news and notes coming out of the NFL all over the place.
00:16Okay, so let's start here.
00:17But there's bigger news.
00:18Oh, Lord, here we go.
00:19Before we get to this, we have Rico Beard Science Archaeological News Update Desk.
00:25Rico, they're saying they found Noah's Ark and it's on a mountain in Turkey.
00:30Discuss.
00:31Mount Ararat.
00:32Yes, Mike, they've been saying that for years, and I guess they got some soil samples.
00:37Do you believe it?
00:39Yeah.
00:39Okay, David, back to business.
00:42Yeah, they actually found Noah's Ark, and it is in Cincinnati.
00:46His name is Dexter Lawrence.
00:48And according to reports.
00:50Oh, boy.
00:51David, don't make me get the square.
00:52No, bad David.
00:53According to reports, and now Dan Patrick is sort of confirming it, is he says,
01:00I was told Joe Burrow is the one calling the shots in Cincinnati.
01:03From what I told Joe Burrow said to the management, you got to do something defensively or I'm out of
01:08here.
01:09That confirms other reports this offseason regarding the future of Joe Burrow in Cincinnati.
01:15Yeah, the future is.
01:16How important is this season?
01:17It's everything.
01:18Otherwise, he will be the starting quarterback of the New York Jets in 2027.
01:23Period.
01:24Guy like him.
01:25Jets, not the Giants.
01:25No shot.
01:26We got Jackson Dart.
01:27Guy like him, his brand, his image.
01:29He belongs in a place like New York or L.A.
01:31Aaron Glenn gets a shot in the arm.
01:33Oh, no.
01:33The next coach will get Joe Burrow.
01:35The point I'm making is, no, this is it.
01:37We've talked about this.
01:40And look, if Dexter plays the way he played up until mid-24, this will work.
01:46And he will be a devastator.
01:47But I'm sorry.
01:49Whatever walked into that stadium yesterday, he looked like he ate Dexter Lawrence.
01:53I've lived with this the last year and a half where this guy has just, he makes Vince
01:59Wilfork look like Mr. Olympia.
02:02He's not been any good.
02:04Sexy Dex may want to avoid the skyline chili for a while.
02:09It's tied to his play.
02:11I don't care.
02:11And if his numbers were the same and if his impact was the same, I don't care.
02:15I mean, he looks happy to be there, but yeah, let's hope that he can slim down before the
02:21season starts.
02:21Compare Dexter 2023 to what you saw walking into that stadium.
02:25I dare you.
02:26Does the name Will Johnson remind you of anything from last draft?
02:31Yeah, a guy who got harpooned by injury reports, but then played and played really
02:36well.
02:37Correct.
02:38Could that be happening to Jermon McCoy this year?
02:41NFL media, Tom Pellicero, forgot they don't say NFL Network anymore because of the
02:47whatever, reported that the ACL had been reconstructed and that's not the issue for
02:53teams.
02:54According to him, there's concern about a bone plug that was used to repair cartilage
02:59defect in his knee and that has teams backing off a little bit.
03:02He may now fall out of the first round.
03:05I'm tired of this.
03:06Same happened with Will and then he still started the year off.
03:08How about N'Kobe Dean?
03:09Yeah.
03:10Remember what happened to him?
03:11The whole knee thing?
03:12I'm tired of this.
03:13I'm tired of guys getting slandered and everything they worked for goes out the window because
03:18of shoddy reporting.
03:20And again, I don't know Jermon McCoy and his medicals from a hole in the wall.
03:24It's just every year we do see this.
03:26Yeah.
03:26Somebody falls because a report comes out the week of and...
03:30Or a bong mask.
03:32But the thing is, because so many people's jobs are on the line, you got to take the
03:38safer bet.
03:40So are you going to take somebody injured or are you going to take a sure thing because
03:44you don't want to get fired?
03:45I understand where this comes from, David.
03:48And yeah, I probably would be one of those teams that would maybe try to get him in a
03:52later round and not necessarily take a first round selection and end up having him be
03:58a bust.
03:58Let's move over to Atlanta because their GM spoke yesterday at the media availability
04:05before the draft.
04:06And he said, quote, I would say for all players, we are going to listen.
04:11I wouldn't just say Kyle, all players, we are going to listen.
04:15That is our job.
04:16He's mentioning Kyle Pitts.
04:18For those that don't understand that Kyle Pitts has been mentioned as possibly being on
04:22the move.
04:23And then Adam Schefter reported yesterday twice in his article, the possibility of Pitts being
04:28moved.
04:29Good.
04:29Will this happen?
04:31I hope so.
04:32Because honestly, he should be moved to a dog shelter.
04:34No.
04:35No, I can't stand Kyle Pitts.
04:37See, I think this is one of those things, Mike, if he is in complement with other good
04:44pieces and you're not asking him to be the man.
04:46They're not.
04:47No, no.
04:48I think that it can work.
04:49But when he was in Atlanta, they wanted him to be the guy.
04:53They have Drake London.
04:54They have Bijan.
04:55He just needs to be productive.
04:57But then again, you also had coordinators and coaches who said, hey, I know what you want
05:04us to do, but we're not going to use any of our stars.
05:06You want to get a tight end who never lines up tight to the formation, has no interest
05:10or ability to block, and to me is one of the most inconsistent receivers at his position
05:14in the league.
05:15Cool.
05:16Take a free border collie with him.
05:18I have no interest.
05:20None.
05:20I hope he goes to the Giants.
05:22It doesn't matter.
05:23My team stinks.
05:24I think he still has something left.
05:26You take him then.
05:27George Kittle's dead.
05:28Why don't you take him?
05:29He's back.
05:30Yeah.
05:30You know what, Kyle Shanahan?
05:31The problem plan is closed.
05:32Kyle Shanahan would stab him in a film review of the run game and him attempting to block.
05:37No, no.
05:38Kyle Shanahan would treat him like Sirianni did with Nick Marsh.
05:43First day.
05:44Signetti, I mean.
05:45First day.
05:46We're not doing this here.
05:47Let's close it out with this one here because Yahoo Sports is reporting that the Steelers
05:52are looking to possibly trade one or two of their pass rushers in Herbert and Alex Highsmith.
06:01They're doing it wrong, guys.
06:02They should be trading the other guy, TJ Watt, who has more value.
06:05I agree.
06:06I mean, then again, Highsmith has been banged up.
06:08Herbig was banged up.
06:09Yes.
06:09But they're productive.
06:11David, I don't know what your team is doing.
06:13You need so many other things.
06:15If somebody offers you the ability to better the overall product.
06:19Any way we can, yeah.
06:20The problem is, I'm with Rico.
06:21Like, you're going into business with Aaron Rodgers again.
06:25I just don't know what else to say.
06:26You don't have a game plan.
06:27You just exist.
06:29You're exactly right.
06:30And that is your NFL Blitz 97.1.
06:33You don't have a game plan.
