00:00Watson, if they make him the starting quarterback, will they make him a captain?
00:04I could see them making a captain.
00:05What you guys or what people on the outside don't understand is that his teammates like and respect him.
00:11And they always have.
00:12And he's very much a team guy and he's very, very much about winning in the team.
00:16So I would think that they would if they named him the starter.
00:21That is Mary Kay Cabot with us.
00:23And that is as diabolical question as you're going to get.
00:32So did they all...
00:33People are not going to be happy.
00:34Did they all like him more than Nick Chubb when they made him captain and took the sea away from
00:38Nick Chubb?
00:39I still don't understand how that one went down.
00:41I don't think that that's the case.
00:43Because they gave $230 million guaranteed to their quarterback and they knew it would be weird if they didn't make
00:48him the captain.
00:49So they had to make him the captain.
00:52And he didn't go out there and play like a captain.
00:55Then he got hurt and didn't show up to the building.
01:00Where's the lie?
01:02Sorry.
01:03He's going through his rehab elsewhere.
01:04Okay.
01:04Yeah.
01:05There's videos of him gallivanting.
01:07Because that's the great word.
01:08No one uses gallivanting in a positive light.
01:11It's always bad.
01:12So I'll say it like this.
01:13He's not gallivanting in Miami.
01:15Yeah.
01:16They don't say...
01:16Across the world.
01:17They don't say Mother Teresa was out there gallivanting.
01:20And helping people.
01:21Like they don't do that.
01:24Gallivanting's not used positively.
01:28I want Andrew Siciliano if...
01:30I'm going to tell you this.
01:31If KC Concepcion breaks one, I want to hear Andrew say gallivanting to the end zone.
01:36So we can use it as a positive this time.
01:39Okay?
01:39We can do that.
01:42Was he acting like a captain then though?
01:44No.
01:45No, he was not.
01:45Because Matthew Stafford was riding around on the bike and doing all that stuff.
01:49Dak Prescott showed up to games on crutches.
01:51Now, he...
01:52But, you remember this.
01:54He went up to the suite when the game started.
01:57Because you have to go up to the suite when the game starts.
01:59Might get rolled up on him.
02:00We remember that whole argument.
02:01You remember that.
02:03So...
02:04Hugh Freeze went to that one game.
02:06But, you know, there's a lot of guys who've changed since the beginning.
02:08I mean, there's a lot different personnel than there was five years ago when this whole mess started.
02:13So...
02:13Maybe that team didn't care for him.
02:16But this team, they maybe care about him.
02:18I don't know.
02:18We'll see.
02:20It didn't come off nice, but it can be nice about it.
02:24Do you have any other things to say about that situation?
02:26It's hard for me.
02:27Because you wanted...
02:28You were...
02:28It's just hard for me to envision a world in which he comes out with a C.
02:33Especially, like you said, we're expecting to see Shador by...
02:37Some people say week three.
02:38The first home game.
02:40Which...
02:41It's not a lot of games.
02:42And so it's hard to fathom like...
02:44Oh, Deshaun Watson lost his job.
02:46But there he is on the sidelines.
02:47Helping everybody out with that C that he earned on his chest.
02:51Todd Bunkin.
02:52His first duty as new head coach to crown a captain.
02:56You know, and a captain is certainly something that probably Sports Talk Radio...
03:01It's...
03:01Without a doubt, Sports Talk Radio does captain talk more than the public does.
03:06I don't think the public really talks a whole bunch about professional sports captains.
03:11No, if their players are good and the team's good, I don't think they care about professional
03:14sports captains.
03:14No, they don't.
03:15But if the team ain't good...
03:16But on bad teams...
03:16And you made a very unpopular trade and you made that guy a captain and you were no longer
03:21making a captain of an extremely popular player, yeah, that's going to get talked about.
03:25Well, very rarely do you not name your quarterback captain.
03:28Only three teams last year.
03:29You know, because there are some teams that name him weekly, but there are only three teams
03:32that name year-long captains that didn't name their quarterback.
03:35They're the Raiders, the Saints, and the Browns.
03:38What do they all have in common?
03:39Don't have an established quarterback.
03:41Uh-huh.
03:43And I don't think anybody thought he was an established...
03:44Well, they actually did think he was a bit of an established quarterback back then, but
03:47now you can't.
03:48No, you can't.
03:49Is he an established quarterback this year?
03:52Could be.
03:53I mean, if he gets named...
03:54No, no, no.
03:55I didn't say could be.
03:56I want to know.
03:57I mean, J.J. McCarthy got named starting quarterback.
03:59Don't dance around.
04:00Starting quarterback or captain?
04:03Right.
04:03Captain last year.
04:04Okay.
04:04So that was last year, and now this year, J.J.
04:06McCarthy is not going to be the starting quarterback, correct?
04:09Okay.
04:10So if you're not an established quarterback, are you captain?
04:12Would you do that?
04:15I mean, it depends.
04:16Yeah, no.
04:16You're talking around.
04:17Answer the question.
04:18No, seriously.
04:19Like, was Daniel Jones an established quarterback last year?
04:21He was a captain?
04:22He was...
04:23Wait, hold on.
04:24Did they or did they not bring him back and intend to have the whole season revolve around
04:27Daniel Jones?
04:27They brought him back this year.
04:28He was named captain last year.
04:30They haven't named captains yet.
04:31Okay, they haven't done it yet, but you didn't answer that question.
04:33Was Michael Penix Jr. an established captain?
04:35Were they planning on making him the established starter on that football team, Daniel Jones?
04:39Not necessarily.
04:40Yes, they were.
04:40They were competing with Anthony Richardson last year.
04:43That was a competition.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Okay.
04:46I didn't know Shane Steik and imagine that would be a competition when a guy was pulling
04:50himself out.
04:51Okay.
04:51Well, he didn't name him until actually about this time.
04:54And then they made Daniel Jones the captain?
04:56Yes.
04:56Okay.
04:58So, I want to ask you about the Browns now.
05:01I asked you, would he be an established quarterback?
05:04And you said, well, he could be.
05:05No, that's not the answer.
05:07Is he or is he not?
05:09Currently, right now, no.
05:10No.
05:10So, would you make him the captain right now?
05:12No.
05:13I never said I would.
05:13I would not make him the captain.
05:14Who would be your captains then?
05:16I mean...
05:17Ah, God.
05:18I mean...
05:19I don't know.
05:20There's one guy who keeps getting in fights with everybody who seems to be your defensive
05:23leader.
05:23I think that's a pretty damn easy answer to give.
05:25Oh, yeah.
05:25Well, I'm talking about offense.
05:26If Sean doesn't play on defense, who's your offensive captain right now?
05:29Oh, my offensive captain?
05:30Yeah.
05:30I mean, I think you're thinking of a Quinn Sean there.
05:32Honestly, if the captaincy was started today.
05:36I'm thinking of a Quinn Sean and Jerry Judy, probably.
05:39Judy?
05:39What?
05:40All right.
05:40Jerry Judy.
05:41What?
05:42Not that Jerry Judy would be the best option, but Jerry Judy is one of your veteran receivers,
05:45right?
05:46That's probably...
05:46Well, just because you've been around doesn't mean you're a captain.
05:49That's not going to be Cedric Tillman.
05:52Why are you laughing about that?
05:54Why is that funny?
05:55Why is that funny?
05:56That's not funny.
05:57I'm not going to make the team.
05:58Okay.
06:01Who would I make the captain on offense?
06:02Now, that's a question.
06:03Where's the one from Purdue you really liked a few years ago?
06:06David Bell.
06:07He retired from the league.
06:08Oh, is he no longer playing?
06:08He got beat up by injury.
06:10Retired from the league.
06:11Isn't that amazing, by the way?
06:12What's your problem, you psycho?
06:14You kept saying future pro bowler, David Bell.
06:15Yeah, he did.
06:16Because he could have been a future pro bowler had he not been hurt all the time.
06:20Future all-star Lonnie Chisholm.
06:23Future...
06:23So could Anthony Schwartz.
06:26Whoa, whoa, whoa.
06:26It is funny.
06:27I never, ever claimed him.
06:28No, you didn't.
06:29Okay.
06:30Here's the funny thing.
06:31Sure.
06:31I've seen people celebrate, and rightfully so, if these receivers end up being really good.
06:36And they're like, you imagine if Andrew Berry would have just focused on wide receiver
06:40before year six of his tenure.
06:42Well, you couldn't because you gave up three first-round picks for a quarterback that nobody likes.
06:46Yeah, Boston was 39th overall.
06:49I'm talking about before this.
06:51Yeah.
06:52If you would have been able to cut, you can't concentrate on wide receiver early when you
06:55gave up three first-round picks for a quarterback nobody wants to see.
06:58And people call in and say they're going to spend $134 round trip on a ticket and a plane
07:03ticket to come here and boo the guy in a preseason game.
07:06That's going well.
07:07I checked a flight from Manila.
07:09Oh, no!
07:11Right now, if you're trying to get in and actually make it to the game time, $1,600.
07:15So, it'd cost you a little more to come through from there.
07:17That was Chris in the Philippines who called in earlier.
07:19You can check that call out because it was a great call.
07:21On the free Rewind feature, on the free Odyssey app, it's powered by Integrated Restoration.
07:25Your local experts in water, fire, and storm disaster restoration.
07:30Defensively, Denzel Ward.
07:32Oh, man.
07:33You don't have enough captains.
07:35If you have four captains, can I have three defensive captains and one offensive captain?
07:40You know what I would do?
07:41You know what I would do?
07:43You can use me as you want on either side of the ball.
07:45I would kick around the idea of making Spencer Fano the captain on offense.
07:51You are a cornerstone of our franchise, son.
07:53Has he earned that?
07:54I don't know yet.
07:54I'm not in the locker room.
07:55I said I'd kick it around.
07:57Defensively, I got three there.
07:58I got Jared Verse because he's part of your future, whether you like it or not.
08:02And I do like it right now.
08:04Denzel Ward, because he's the guy who's a borderline Hall of Famer, would be in the Hall of Fame
08:08if you go into the playoffs a little bit more.
08:10And then you have Carson Swessinger.
08:12Three captains on defense, one on offense, he in 2027.
08:16Boom.
08:16Solved that problem.
