00:00this was the question that some people were trying to get in and we just didn't have time for it
00:05i
00:05just didn't just didn't happen uh there were a couple of um callers who were in the call box
00:13like thursday last week when i got in on friday i was gonna go get to him and they dropped
00:19and it was like could taylon green be the second qb and i don't know if it was the talk
00:27of the
00:27town whatever mary k decided to ask and then obviously todd munkin answered and i assume the
00:34internet went nuts yesterday i don't know i didn't see very much of it what what was the reaction
00:39yesterday when todd munkin said that uh you know what honestly i didn't pay a ton attention attention
00:46to that speculation yesterday because i just assumed that this was a non-story that that that
00:53he just kept it open for gamesmanship or whatever you know because jacksonville's quaking in their
01:00boots over whether or not taylor green is going to be available and i just assumed he first game of
01:05the year is not when we would see taylor green oh so it's it's a non-starter it's a non
01:09-starter no it's
01:09you we talk about anything i mean it's he's he's one of the guys that what he had why i
01:15didn't know
01:15you were gonna runs in the uh preseason game but i didn't know that was gonna elevate him to getting
01:21in on the field you know as early as this week i thought that was probably going to be a
01:27little
01:27too early for somebody so this is so i his ilk i do want to find i do want some
01:32clarification and
01:33we're gonna have to ask todd munkin about this coming up at 7 15 this morning because todd munkin
01:36is going to join us on the show the head coach your cleveland browns coming up this morning at 7
01:4115 so
01:41we got that going for us and that'll be a good time um i guess i have to ask him
01:46do we find a loophole
01:47in this because i think when you first see that news or that possibility that he he says that that's
01:55a possibility i think a lot of us go well what the hell are we doing with shador sanders then
01:59it's like well wait a minute i think that we have ourselves a little bit of a loophole here
02:04now there has to be a confirmed injury of some sort or a designation see the this is a clarification
02:11i
02:12want to know from the head coach because i know we've kind of dabbled in this before over the last
02:16couple of years with guys as the third team qb the the emergency qb and and seeing how that works
02:24so i'm wondering if there's a loophole of all right you make taylor green the number two
02:31you make shador the emergency number three hold on because a lot of people are going to get emotional
02:37when they hear that you make shador the emergency number three and then if watson were to get hurt
02:44well then you just put your door in can you do that or is it have to does it have
02:51to be taylor green
02:53can't you just i i like that's something i need to have clarified because at the end of it you
02:58still
02:59have two qbs and one would be activated after an injury so if like watson were to get hurt like
03:05i'm
03:06just thinking of i'm thinking of several different things here tone because the first thing i'm thinking
03:11of is that all right how is it i think people are going to take it as almost a knock
03:16on shador
03:18that i think was the first reaction that a lot of people had yesterday and i don't know if it's
03:23necessarily that it's like one guy is 6'6 and can run like a deer and that if you can
03:27make them game
03:28plan for a guy like that you're going to try to make them game plan for a guy like that
03:31but you have
03:32to make him active or if he's not active you just go well that's out the window we don't even
03:37have to
03:37worry about that that possibility at all like there's nothing there but if you make him the
03:42number two and he comes out there on the field at some point it's something that can be used as
03:46a
03:46distraction or a weapon or anything so i don't know what the rule is exactly i try to look at
03:53it and i
03:54think i'm a little unclear i try to look at it as as if if watson were to go down
03:59yeah i thought the
04:00emergency qb could only play in if there was a legitimate injury or um and and a disqualification
04:06of both guys ahead of you they both have to be gone so i have right here from nfl.com
04:12this is
04:13from bylaw proposal 1a that permits each team to dress a player as its emergency third quarterback
04:19says question is an emergency third quarterback permitted to enter a game answer is an emergency
04:25third quarterback is permitted to enter a game only if the club's two active quarterbacks are unable to
04:31play either by disqualification or injury and then it says for example so this is the
04:36way to maybe get around it if qb1 is unable to play and qb2 is evaluated for an injury so
04:43if
04:43they're in the tent then the third quarterback can come in and then maybe you know he plays four or
04:50five plays and then out of the tent comes qb2 qb1's got to be gone qb1's got to be gone
04:58but maybe qb1
04:59went to the locker room and they decided wasn't as bad as we thought what well once qb3 is in
05:07one
05:08of the other qb's has to be gone or they both have to be gone right is what you're saying
05:13right oh my
05:14god all right but so wait so what so what are you saying are you saying i was just i
05:19was wondering but
05:20then it says i'm not saying anything i'm asking questions after an emergency third quarterback enters
05:24a game are qb1 or qb2 permitted to return to the game yes if either qb1 or qb2 are evaluated
05:31for an
05:32injury and cleared to return either may re-enter the game either so i could okay now i have another
05:41question evaluate and then decide that now i have another question evaluation now i have another
05:46question here so say deshaun watson were to go down tailing green then gets evaluated for an injury
05:55i mean they've already sent one to the ir with a scenario qb2 yes so in this so say this
06:02scenario
06:03plays out where tailing green is qb2 okay and shadora ends up being the third emergency qb
06:08something happens with deshaun watson deshaun watson goes down then tailing green you evaluate tailing
06:15green with an injury should or sanders ends up being inserted into the football game as the he
06:21is listed as the backup right now so he would be the backup that he would be inserted into the
06:26football
06:26game to play the rest of the game could tailing green then return from injury and just be on the
06:35sideline can you do that or is that illegal like if tailing green is cleared to play must he play
06:42and shadora sanders must come off like that is another question i have i'm at i'm not making
06:47statements yes the guy has to go back to the bench the emergency guy has to go back that is
06:52a part of
06:52being the emergency quarterback also there are restrictions on the type of plays you can't just
06:58line up an emergency guy all over the place either and he doesn't become like a functional football
07:02player he has to play quarterback i'm sure there are hard and fast rules here to this and that's why
07:06i want
07:06to make sure the rules are hard and fast and i got him right well then well then i gotta
07:14ask do you
07:14take that as an indictment of some sort on shadora sanders if that were the case i just don't think
07:19it's gonna be the case you think this is legitimate you think that that shadora sanders is not going to
07:25be the number two quarterback in this game i mean i i would be stunned i would assume but i
07:32i know
07:33there's been some chatter online and people are going nuts about it i if this were to happen i would
07:38be stunned and and yes that would be an indictment i just don't think that's gonna happen by those
07:43rules it is because i i'm looking for loopholes and ways to work around it and and try i honestly
07:50doing my very best to try to keep people from freaking out because when you hear that like my first
07:56reaction was well why is why is he the backup then all right well taylor green 6-6 and it
08:02can run
08:02really fast and and is a great athlete okay then why is the one guy the the backup then so
08:08are we
08:09just doing what we can to keep number two on the roster is that it because you did what you
08:14could to
08:15keep dylan gabriel around are we just trying to rearrange deck chairs here you would just to make
08:19sure that somebody's on the roster like that's that would be a problem that i have here i cannot
08:24fathom a coach todd munkin in his first game as an nfl head coach he's waited his whole life to
08:30do
08:30this and taylon green that got where was he drafted again six a six round pick who did not want
08:37to
08:37throw the football in a preseason game he was just a running back playing he threw it seven times he
08:43was not it it was it was not he was not evaluating the deep processing he wasn't doing any of
08:49that he
08:49was taking off and running every chance he got i can't it's early i cannot fathom a world where
08:55he would be the backup quarterback where deshaun watson who famously can't stay healthy so this is
09:01all hot air that that would be a stunner to me i can't imagine that i like your thinking all
09:07right
09:07216-474-0092 do you believe that side of it or do you believe the other that it's an indictment
09:12on
09:12like if you were the way you say you make a lot of sense you were not saying it's an
09:16indictment if
09:17you were jacksonville and you saw that as the depth chart heading when does the final depth chart
09:22need to be released and who are we talking like pregame i thought it was sunday morning it's like
09:28an hour and a half before 11 30s when they announce i imagine whoever whoever's in charge of those
09:35things the football ops or whatever he'd run in with the depth chart and go you see their backup
09:40is behind deshaun watson who's coming off how many surgeries and injuries and hasn't played in a real
09:46game and in like two years i wish people could have seen your face like like extra extra read all
09:51about
09:52it the sixth round pick is the backup quarterback i think jacksonville would be pretty so you're not
09:58about so that i gotta tell you this is uh you always find a way to surprise me and you
10:04have
10:04surprised me again well done well done you guys are giving credence to this you think this is this
10:10is possible just because just because todd munkin is like boy he was asked the question it's a
10:16possibility i i don't think it's a likelihood i don't think it's a likelihood but i think it's a
10:21possibility he was asked about it it's a possibility he was asked about dressing three quarterbacks though
10:26not just would taylor green be the backup well you're gonna yeah but the emergency quarterback
10:31has to dress anyway doesn't he you gotta be ready to go dressing three quarterbacks does not mean are
10:35you going to put a third quarterback in the emergency quarterback taking a spot away from somebody else
10:39you're gonna have three quarterbacks active and then set another player a guy who would contribute on
10:45special teams more than likely no no no no uh you have an emergency qb i'm not having three active
10:54qbs
10:54in this football game i need guys who can help in other places again i'm not gonna let this it's
10:59been
10:59a fiasco and i'm not gonna let it turn into more of a fiasco speaking of fiascos we have another
11:04fiasco
11:04something completely different coming up at 643 uh i i would not have three active qbs and take away a
11:11spot
11:12from somebody else who i may need on special teams or we think especially in that secondary that's so
11:16razor thin no i can't do that then how did we ever think taylor green was going to get in
11:20what what was
11:21what was the thought when we kept talking about him as a weapon how did we ever think the weapon
11:26was
11:27really going to get on the field wildcat even though he's a quarterback he's active and he can't be an
11:33emergency because in the rules it specifically states you're not allowed to be the wildcat quarterback
11:38if you're the emergency quarterback it says i e wildcat quarterback but that's what he does well
11:45and he can't do that he can't stay in the pocket no no no no no if he breaks that
11:50pocket unsportsmanlike
11:51you can't have it okay now you're doing this on purpose no that's ridiculous he has to stay in the
11:58pocket yeah yeah no it doesn't say that you cannot say that says you can't be a punter kicker or
12:03play
12:03regular special teams hold on and it actually says wildcat specifically a formation you cannot
12:08does it specifically say he has to stay in the pocket allowed to play an emergency third quarterback
12:13in a non-traditional fashion i.e wildcat formation no an emergency third quarterback who enters a game
12:20must line up under center orange shotgun and must take the snap i wish i would have used the term
12:26i wish i would have used the term all right sorry but you can have designed runs he's a quarterback
12:31he's listed as a qb it says right here you must stay in the pocket you must no it doesn't
12:36the
12:36pocket i'm coming i'm not i just got to read it for myself that's all he can be pistol you
12:41could do
12:42pistol i'm not starting to fight with you it could be an empty formation where does it say it show
12:50me
12:51oh i lost it you lost it yeah you did it says emergency third quarterback is permitted to quick kick
12:57but it's not permitted to line up as a punter or play special okay now you know the they've got
13:03to be careful about this if munkin ends up auctioning off the first series anytime down the road you've
13:09got to do that you've got to fill in whoever that season ticket holder right saturday that's saturday
13:15okay you had me worked up there for a second okay i would never do that yes you would do
13:21it all the
13:22time you do it on purpose all right two one six four seven four double it says wildcat formation right
13:26here it i didn't i'm not disputing that but you can you can design run with your qb old battering
13:33ram
13:33watson that's what you were talking about you couldn't design runs it's just i shouldn't have said
13:39wildcat when it says i.e wildcat on there that's not good but yeah you could just be like all
13:46right
13:46here you go you could always do that and we pack it up and get ready for tampa hopefully it
13:52doesn't
13:52come to that all right this is all ready
