can make an hour for you hour and 15 minutes for you and you know it’s easier for you guys to digest in two parts than it is in one long part so um yo hey I’m bringing it to all of you cuz you guys wanted it and I’m a about what the fans want all right and I’ve always been about what the fans want so all right we’re bringing to that to you guys this week um let’s also shout out salvin Amed got married we got shout out salvin ammed shout out to salvan oid got married today um now I’m going to shout out someone else but before I do I got to say it I gotta say it Florida fans and I see dolphins realtors in the chat good luck tonight okay cuz I think it’s I think it’s over I I’m sorry they figured boski out they’re going high on bosski I mean right now I mean that was the first game in the McDavid era game six was where the oiler the Edmonton Oilers won without McDavid registering a single point that team is clicking Zack heyman’s clicking right now ah I’m sorry man now listen game seven anything is possible this is one and done we are now in football territory where it’s one game win or go home the past six don’t matter I get all that but my Lord my Lord good luck to all of you Florida panther fans tonight cuz I’m sorry I think heartbreak is knocking on the door for each and every one of you I really do I’m sorry I I I really do I really think it is I mean if you look at all right if you look at the Edmonton Oiler Oilers right under their current head coach all right after losing three straight games okay cuz there was three times this year they lost three straight games all right the first time after they lost three straight games they won the next eight the second time they lost three games they won the next 16 games in in a row the third time they lost three straight they won the next five games in a row so this team has a history of rifling off W’s after they lose three in a row so what does that tell you you didn’t want this series to start off 3 and0 you wanted it to start off like 2-1 so this team believes they’ve already come into your guys’ barn in Florida and beat you handedly in these last three Gam games man all the momentum all the belief is on that side I mean the biggest thing for the Florida Panthers tonight is the Florida Panthers need to score the first goal if the Florida Panthers do not score the first goal they are in serious serious trouble if they score that first goal man I’d go to a one 122 trap and I wouldn’t even let Edmonton get through the M through you know Center Ice I wouldn’t even allow it do the old New Jersey early 2000s go to the one 122 and just shut him down from mid ice all the way back into your own end I would literally do that I’m not even saying and then when you do that when you play a defensive game you got to make the most of all the mistakes they’re going to make cuz those are going to be your opportunities right if you for Force turnovers at Mid ice if you force turnovers in your own end you got to cycle the puck quickly up the ice and you got to be heavy on the for check and you got to turn those mistakes that you gain off the Trap into opportunities and you got to convert some of those opportunities and I think they can win so we’ll see how it goes I’ll be watching tonight because I mean I called MC McDavid out on this channel after game three and I said Sydney Crosby would never allow this to happen and sure as all [ __ ] here comes that boy mcjesus so man at least it makes her something good to watch tonight eh after you know and then I well I got to PA I got to watch Game of Thrones after that too so um so yeah good luck to all you Panther fans tonight all right good luck to each and every one of you um now Bradley chub today is Bradley chub’s birthday so first I want to start this off by saying happy birthday Bradley I hope you get healthy I hope you go back to 100% And I hope you get back to the dominant player you were last year that said you know enjoy it Bradley cuz there’s a good chance it might be your last birthday on South Beach as a dolphin so you know with everything going on right now with you know like especially esally you know we talked about we’ve talked about if Tua they got to you know let play Tua let Tua play on that fifth year option and franchise tagum not only does that you know hurt the chances drastically of resigning Javon Holland that more than likely is going to make Bradley chub a salary cap you know it’s it’s it’s going to make him be a salary cap casualty more than likely now the likelihood was already there they’ve drafted chop Robinson they drafted Mo Kamara you know I’m not going to sit here and get into and and and put that on Sha Barrett because it’s on a one-year deal but they’ve drafted the youth movement to come up and you know what the deal is they’re not going to reup Jaylen Phillips eventually and be sitting here and paying two Edge rushers 20 plus million dollar when you have a quarterback that’s going to be in the $55 million range against the cap that’s just not going to happen the you know so um yeah happy birthday but enjoy it my friend drink a couple extra Miami Vices whatever you got to do to get that South Florida feeling cuz my friend and and I wish we could keep Bradley chub I hope they find a way to circumvent the cap and keep Bradley chub 110% I don’t want this I’m telling you the likelihood is like High we’re talking like probably like 7030 right now Bradley chub isn’t back next year there’s a very good chance especially if he comes back and he doesn’t catch on real quick while let’s say mo Kamar and chop Robinson have got their legs under them by the time he comes back if he looks like he’s still not fully recovered and it is going to take him that year and a half two years to get back to what he really was then yeah there’s going to be an issue because they’re not going to sit there and they’re going to that they’re not gonna they’re not GNA pay that kind of money for some guy get trying to get his legs back under them so we’ll see we’ll see how it goes for sure but Bradley chub man I hope it works out I really really do I’m a Bradley chub fan I hope it works out but there is a legitimate chance that he doesn’t that that it doesn’t and he’s a cap casualty all right shout out to 99 Charles Hilton Timothy Washington Brian Walters

through today and hey it’s Monday it is Monday so let’s rock it let’s get into it without further Ado let’s get into it and let’s start off with Connor Williams because that has been a topic of discussion and something that’s been consistently asked in the chat is what’s going to happen with Connor Williams what’s the deal with Connor Williams is the way he can come back and play guard blah blah blah blah blah blah blah well we got a little insight from his agent Drew rosenhouse when he was sitting down with Josh Moser and this is what they discussed and this is what was said specifically about Connor Williams Conor taring is ACL in week 11 in that Monday night game against the Titans and I believe the last time we spoked you’d said that that knee injury was very involved and the thought was that it would take significant time realistically maybe into this next season if at all but now there’s reports out that he will be ready by week one and that you are shopping him looking for teams what changed yeah those reports are accurate let me go on the record here and say that uh Conor has had a remarkable recovery nothing short miraculous really looking good for the start of the season um there’s a lot of teams interested in him but uh I’m just delighted for Conor did not anticipate him going to training camp with the team and felt like it might be something during the season before he played but now he’s done an awesome job and we’re going to see Conor Williams in someone’s training camp you mentioned that teams plural are interested in his Services uh how like likely is it that he could stay here with the dolphins on behalf of Conor I’m sure he’d be open to it but I I wouldn’t think that it’s likely that he would return here with the dolphins certainly wouldn’t rule anything out but the Dolphins did sign a fine Center and Aaron Brewer from the Tennessee Titans and make a big made a big investment so I think Conor wherever he signs it will be as Center so there you go a couple things to unpack there first of all Conor Williams does not clearly want to go back to guard wherever he signs he wants to play at Center there’s a rumor going on Twitter right now from one of those accounts that makes up rumors or whatever and they’re claiming that the Bears are highly interested in them but they’re worried about the injury risks or whatever blah blah blah blah blah um okay so unlikely he returns and the reason why is because he wants to continue his development at Center that’s clear and obvious that that is the main sticking point that he wants to come back and he wants to play center now I think both Aaron Brewer and Conor Williams both fit especially schematically this system much better at Center but that said when you go look at Connor and you look at the tape from back when he was a cowboy he was still dominant against the like dominant in the Run game as a guard now was he H has was he as good as he’s been in pass pro at Center since he’s been Miami at guard no but with this coaching staff I don’t think that could be much of an issue um now the whole miraculous recovery right because when I first heard this report these reports leaking out what did I say I said Drew rosenow sat up here and told everyone this guy you know there’s significant time needed for him to get right because this is potentially career and threatening did this guy found find Ray Lewis’s stash of you know that reindeer antler spray is that what’s going on here how do you go from even people in the local South Florida media who who have speak to D Rose and I speak to the camp they were reporting I mean I was the if you do the math I was the first one to report the severity of this injury I beat Barry Jackson to the punch I beat if you’re a member or patreon go check it’s right there if you’re a channel member go to the community Tab and go scroll all the way back a few months ago if you a patreon go and SC scroll back a few months ago um you know this is why when I heard remember I heard that um they were originally um and obviously they pivoted to Aaron Brewer I get that but the Miami Dolphins were originally interested in signing Andre James before he resigned with Oakland that was going to be their target and I was hearing this before free agency well before free agency I was hearing this in like January February in reporting on it and what happened Andre James resigned the night before free agency opened up so he was off the market and they pivoted Aaron Brewer the reason why they were I was hearing the Andre James stuff was why because they real Iz the severity of this Conor Williams injury and this team was ready to move on at Center because they knew from what what their staff had clearly told them this is severe and this is going to take some time that’s why my whole thing was get convince him to play left guard let Isaiah win start the season and that’ll give him time to get ready and then you know hopefully it doesn’t happen but if it does happen in Isaiah when history repeats itself and he goes down you can slide in Connor Williams then you can keep Connor there resign him on a two or threeyear deal at left guard and move off of Isaiah win but remember Conor Williams also had an ACL tear in his other knee with the Dallas Cowboys so we’re talking about a guy with multiple ACL tears and why is it unlikely he’s going to return because he probably like me and ball game discussed last Wednesday he’s probably holding a grudge because he wanted to be resigned and he wanted wanted top Center money and the whole reason he wanted to resign was to avoid what’s happening right now I just don’t understand how I mean now we’re getting into I mean we got your agent going up on TV and talking about miracles are happening you know did a bell ring and an angel gained his wings and because they performed a miracle on your leg what’s happening here so I mean if you could convince him to come back to left guard that’s the play but by the of it he wants to continue his his development at Center and that doesn’t bode well what are your what is your opinion of us drafting clay Webb I believe you’re talking about the offensive tackle from Jacksonville State um I haven’t had a chance to really dive into him the guys that I’ve dived into are like Will Campbell emry Jones Ernest Green um you know kind of the top prospects at at tackle next year um you know I haven’t had a chance to dive into fully those other guys you know what I mean I’ve watched you know like you know i’ I’ve watched a lot of them like Xavier trust right um Kelvin Banks you know I’ve watched quite a bit of the top guys I haven’t had a chance to really get into like you know from outside really like the top six considered right so I’ve got some I’ll be watching watching uh diving more ask me when the season starts Knight Connor is a good guard but he is significantly better at Center I think he believes that’s where he can make the most money um yeah that’s that’s the whole play is right now is money that’s the 110% the whole play right now is money he believes that’s where he’s going to make the most money that’s what he believes he that’s where he thinks it’s going to happen so um yeah I mean I’m not going to sit here and you know speculate and stuff but I mean we all know we all know that antler that deer antler spray that Ray Lewis used on his arm to come back for the playoffs we all remember and AP is a freak though but I’m going to tell you this let me ask you this and this is just me you know like I have my own theories about the you remember the 20 you remember the draft class that came out of um that 2021 draft class you remember how like after covid a lot of the players sat out because of Co and then they were doing like crazy testing numbers you know don’t think performing enhancing drugs are not at play here right because these people aren’t getting tested they’re not getting tested right now get outside of the offseason program season ends go on a couple Cycles blah blah blah blah blah especially if you’re rehabbing and you’re not signed to a team they’re not going to test you like I I I I I was almost certain that 2021 draft class the reason why we saw so many crazy combine numbers was because these kids were using peeds there was no testing happening and because they were sitting out of football so why are they going to test them and you know they’re training using Peds blah blah blah blah blah that’s why you saw those crazy combine numbers you know like don’t think that stuff and you know that stuff helps the rehab process too there’s certain stuff you can use that are illegal by you know testing rules that can help your rehab process I mean that’s all I’m saying you know what I mean I’m not naive I’m not an idiot you know what I mean I know it goes on you know but and there’s a lot of people that are very smart with it so it is what it is don’t ever let it be what it ain’t all right so But continuing on here with Connor a little bit um Barry Jackson made his Triumph return last night and this is what he said about the situation will Center Conor Williams resigned with the dolphins his agent offers Insight Dolphins free agent center Conor Williams is focusing on other teams as he aims to be ready for the start of the season after serious knee injury last December against Tennessee asked by wsvn 7s Josh Moser about Williams’s chance of returning to the Dolphins agent R rosenhouse said like late last Sunday night on behalf of Connor I’m sure he’d be open to to it I wouldn’t think that it’s likely he would return here with the dolphins I certainly wouldn’t rule anything out but the Dolphins did sign a fine Center and Aaron Brewer from Tennessee Titans and made a big investment I think Connor wherever he signs it will be as a center Brewers signed a three-year $21 million contract with the dolphins in March with 13 million of that guaranteed Brewer and Williams have both played guard only in the careers but the Dolphins signed to play center and Williams prefer to remain at center after playing the position for two seasons with the dolphins Williams sustained a torn ACL against Tennessee and he initially wasn’t sure if he would play in 2024 Williams did not want to discuss a contract with teams early in free agency because of the uncertainty of how long he’d be sidelined Connor has had a remarkable recovery nothing short of miraculous really looking for the good for the start of the Season uh rosenhouse said on his TV segment there are a lot of teams interested in him he’s delighted for Connor I did not anticipate him going to training camp with the team and felt like it might be something during the season before he played but he’s done an awesome job we’re going to see Connor Williams in someone’s training camp Williams was an elite run blocker and pass blocker before sustaining the knee injury in the Monday night loss to Tennessee PF rated Williams the League’s best run blocking Center the second best center overall behind Frank rag now from Detroit what’s more Williams allowed only one sack and just six pressures in 280 pass blocking chances as perspective no Senter who had anything close to as many pass blocking snaps as Williams allowed as few pressures the next closest was Nick Harris of Cleveland who permitted three pressures on 169 pass blocking snaps pff’s evaluations Breer was rated the 11th best center overall among 36 qualifiers last year PFF rated Brewer seventh as a run blocker he’s mobile and fits Miami’s Zone blocking scheme but Brewer permitted six sacks and 34 pressures and 622 pass blocking snaps per PFF undrafted out of Texas state in 2020 he was the Titans starting center the last two seasons now where I’m at with this I think what happens here is this I think you know you saw PFF had him ranked seventh so let’s just call him seventh for the rating for for the sake of pff’s argument those numbers are going to get better with this coaching staff those numbers are only going to get better his development is going to increase rapidly I think I think you’re going to see a jump and a leap in Brewers game I think there’s certain things they’re going to be able to do with Brewer that they couldn’t do with Connor we’ve talked about this with his athleticism how quick that first step is how quick he is to the second level you can pull with him from the center spot I just think there’s going to be a lot of things you can do with him now with Isaiah wi healthy next to him I I like his chances as a pass blocker I think he’s going to improve as a pass blocker with this staff these guys have literally turned chicken [ __ ] T into chicken salad with guys like Austin Jackson with guys like Liam mikenberg what are they going to do with a guy who’s already a damn good run blocker and has area for improvement in pass blocking they’re going to refine his run blocking and they are going to develop his pass blocking that’s where the focus is going to be so I expect him to get better in both categories significantly as a pass blocker and a little bit better as a run blocker I’ve told you this before I do not think there is going to be some steep drop off off a cliff now would I prefer Connor Williams a healthy Connor Williams to Aaron Brewer sure I mean you know you’re better off with the guy who knows the system who knows this team who know you know from the coaching staff to the play players who’s comfortable or who’s already shown how his comfort level in this geme you are better off with that 11 10% when it’s healthy fully fully healthy but we don’t listen we go from his agent as well as local South Florida beat Riders including me hearing things that this kid may never play again and the sity of this injury is why they pivoted off him etc etc to his agent coming out here and saying he’s had a miraculous recovery you know that’s a risk man no it’s always a risk right because of the game they play and the injuries that happen constantly on Sundays but you know uh I don’t know about all that I don’t know about all that at all to be honest with you so that would have me a little apprehensive I don’t blame the Miami Dolphins for pivoting I really don’t now again if he’s willing to take a reasonable a reasonable a reasonable paycheck and come and play left guard sign me the hell up because then there’ll be no pressure on him for week one none none so right have him in the back pocket in case something happens to Isaiah win and and then boom you’re right up there and then if he performs like you hope he performs at left guard you can move off Isaiah win and if Conor Williams stays healthy you can put a two or threee deal in front of him at left guard that’s what that’s what I would do but clearly he wants to continue to play center and play I don’t think he’s going to get the money he was looking for last off season clearly because of the injury but we’ll see Dre Rosen house also talked about someone that we speculated on in this channel one of the people we’ve talked about now they added Kias Campbell that we’ve talked about bringing back is why not bring Emanuel agba back we saw how effective he was flores’s defense right how he can move inside out and again another guy you can who’s familiar with the team going to be familiar with what’s being asked of him right he’s shown comfort in the situation Emanuel agba right and so he is a Drew rosenhouse client and this is what Drew rosenhouse had to say regarding Emanuel ogba I want to ask you about another client Emanuel ogba fan favorite here in Miami where is he at on finding a new team thanks for asking Josh things have really picked up for Eman he’s got uh a really strong market right now this off season there were multiple teams that were interested in signing aanuel we just did not find the right fit economically um or schematically we want to make sure he’s with the right team playing in the 4-3 scheme where he’s more of a defensive end than he is a linebacker that’s pretty much what he was asked to do last year here and uh he was somewhat um out of position so we’re going to work hard toh put him in uh in a scheme that’ll allow him to get back to doing the great things that that he did uh at the height of his career so you know because we’re going to be running a hybrid uh defense you know I think he fits here with what we’re going to be asking him to do I I really do you know what I mean I I don’t think Weaver would ask him to do the same stuff van do did I don’t think Weaver would have a problem sliding him in as a dend and rotating him out with Kias with with you know etc etc with the other guys you got in there I I don’t think that’d be a problem at all I mean I I really honestly don’t now he also said economically what does that tell you that’s a fancy way of saying the people aren’t ponying up the money we want right I mean what else does that mean that means people aren’t ponying up the money right now but I mean other than you know CER and Campbell I would prefer him over a Deshawn hand or Neville gallamore or a Jonathan Harris or a Mario Kendricks or a Leonard Payne right I would prefer him there you want to play DN sure now you got a rotation of three guys you can really rely on right you know and a strong rotation behind them the problem is it’s what’s Scotty saying what is agba worth that’s the issue and clearly do rosenhouse and Emanuel ogba think he’s worth more than what other teams think he is I mean now you know here’s the thing when he played last year um when he played last year he was he was very impactful to the point where you know players were vouching for him that you need to play that this guy needs to play you need to pay play this guy but I think you know the the years of that7 A5 million average salary that’s gone when you got guys like Kias Campbell who were putting up the numbers they were putting up last year even with the given their age now you know again Emanuel agba is going to be turn 31 this season I believe in November he’s going to turn 31 um you know the problem you’re running into now is people are probably looking at him as a 2 or three million maybe 4 million dollar guy the five six s and a half million that’s out the window now he’s probably holding a little Grudge because of the lack of opportunity he got because when he did get opportunities he he was making plays players were vouching for him to play more so you know I don’t know how this is going to work out but again this team has like $6 million in cap space right now if they wanted to make ogba work they could it’s just not going to be the type of money he’s looking for clearly they’re looking to get paid I mean that’s what the economically comment was all about from Drew rosenhouse and what’s he’s saying there’s a bunch of teams interested but we haven’t found the right economic or schematic fit now we know what schematic fit means we that doesn’t take much explaining but a bunch of teams are interested and but we don’t have an economic fit what does that tell you yeah teams are calling but they ain’t ponying up the bag so you know and you got to remember a lot of players do not like training camp in this whole offseason regimen so I if you don’t like the cost and the paycheck number that is being put on the table in front of you that’s not going to entice you to sign early on and go head out to Camp that’s the other problem you’re you’re you’re running into we’re probably carrying over around 10 million right well let me tell you this if they sign to a tongue of aloa that 16 million number comes up to like 26 28 million then if they give a new extension and move the money around with Tyreek we got over $30 million you know so I don’t I don’t know sure I mean you could carry over 10 million but the number I’m talking about right now could be inflated by the end of training camp and carrying over 10 million could only be like a third of the cap space you have now be it you know what’s the good thing about having cap space at the end of training camp surprise Cuts you can bring them on uh also you want to have some money for the trade deadline right let’s be honest here you want you want to have um you want to have some money for the trade deadline if you’re winning and you know I believe the trade deadline um is the Tuesday following week nine so it’s in between week nine and week 10 right um so you know if you are at week nine and you’re s- two 6 and three 8- one and there’s a team out there with some big impact players with some decent contracts you can make that move that’s why you want to have some money in the bank too because if you’re in a position where you’re winning you are going to want to add to this team and you could potentially add an impact player at the trade deadline if you have all that money sitting in the you know as cap space so that’s realistic too right so there’s there’s a lot of ways you can use your cash you can wait until the end of training camp and sign some surprise Cuts or you can hold on to that money and come trade dead line you can continue to upgrade Hammer says what are the chances that McDaniel and Greer are waiting for a guard and Center to shake out after the cutdown yeah maybe in the backup sense right I think they like Isaiah win and Aaron Brewer and either ikenberg or Driscoll as a start and guards I think in the backup sense 110% 110% in the backup sense I could see us you know cutting one of these udfas or a lesser cotton and bringing in someone if if they get cut a more viable option we likely going to need some just in case oine money 0% too right maybe that’s their way of being prepared if one of those guys go down so they got the money in the bank and they can go make a move whether it’s a trade or off the waiver wire whatever the case may be right so yeah for real good points so continuing on here speaking of creating money all right um bleach report they came out with this article and they said seven NFL star contracts that should be restructured before the 2024 NFL season all right and sure as H [ __ ] guess who’s W on this list with just under a month until players start reporting to training camp across the league the player acquisition phase of the offseason is mostly over right now front offices are getting their own payroll in order just about every week we’re seeing a notable contract extension but that’s not the only way to address a team’s cap situation there is also this is also the time of year where we can see a few contact restructures restructures are an important tool in the Arsenal for front offices they come in a variety of forms but mostly have to do with converting salary into signing bonus that is paid to the player and PR rated over the remaining years of the contract teams can also add void years which allows them to spread the cap hit beyond the contract it’s a way to create immediate cap space at the cost of pushing more money into the future looking across the league there are few Stars whose contract could be restructured to give their team flexibility as they navigate the season and number one is who Tyreek Hill Tyreek Hill’s agent Drew Rosen house has hinted at the fame Speedster wanting a new contract with the dolphins the receiver has said Being Greedy isn’t going to help the team and you know this is why they want the new contract the Dolphins restructuring Hill and making sure that more of his current contract was guaranteed could be a suitable solution for both parties Hill has three more years on the 4-year $120 million contract that he signed when he was traded to South Beach the contract currently has some seriously inflated money anchored by the final year of his contract that carries a 43.9 million base salary and a 56.3 million cap piit paying that capit to a 32-year-old hill isn’t going to happen it’s much more likely that the Dolphins will either release him trade him or extend him before that happens by restructuring and cleaning up current c space they would afford themselves a bigger budget for this season while having the void year in place to push even more of his 2026 cap hit when the time comes the need to smooth out that final cap is going to be even more pronounced if Tu tangoa gets a new contract the Dolphins might as well spend the money before balancing the books gets even more difficult and this is why they want the extension is what has been talked about because like they mentioned there they will add on void years and they will start spreading those cap hits around that’s all that’s all they’re going to do right like it it’s going to spread it out they’re going to up the annual average because that seems to be what matters the most upon these wide receivers and they’ll convert a some that money that new money on the extension into signing bonus and they’ll move money around etc etc and like let’s be honest here you could probably afford to add on like two years I don’t see Tyreek Hill slowing down to like 34 35 right like Tyreek Hill is crazy he’s an alien the guy doesn’t stretch he literally goes and just hits the field and starts working the guy’s a freaking alien um I think he’s going to be just fine tell about 3435 then maybe after 35 you start to see a little bit of a decline but he’s such a top tier top level athlete um now as far as extending him goes in my opinion on that um you got to keep the band together as long as possible if he’s going to be productive at 33 and 34 don’t you want want him here now on the flip side I get the argument hey we just extended Wadd he’s the air to the wide receiver spot the wide receiver spot one spot we got to eventually move on I get that too I get that argument 110% you know what it’ll be telling is this will be what will be really telling if they don’t extend him and they don’t add on extra money but then they turn around and they draft the wide receiver High next year right because obj is only on a one-year deal now when you go to the draft I heard they were very high on romad dun how high you ask I heard they how do I word this properly because there was never like super serious talks but they explored the cost of moving up for Roma dun if he was going to fall they they they legitimately explored what it would cost them to move up if Roma D falls out of the top 10 I know that for a fact they’re super they were super high on him Greg says is there even room for isak to make the team 110% baros and River cray crafts are the ones that should be prepared should be scared I think if you you ask me right now who my top five would be would be Tyreek Wadd obj Malik Washington and Eric is aama if they’re carrying seven that 67 battle is going to be very interesting between baros cracraft Taj Washington who I think has a great chance to make this team as well yeah I think uh I think when it’s the Barrios and the river Craycraft have to be worried and I would be more worried if I was baros because we know this staff loves River Craycraft and we know Tua does too I River Craycraft is the one who should be a little worried if you want Hest uh sorry braxon bars is the one who should be a little bit should be a ton worried and River Craycraft should be a little worried Tony Rizzy is aama has been standing out so far in the underwear Olympics this off season Eric is aama was standing out last offseason the reason why I’m high on is aama is because I heard a lot of the things they were planning on doing with him last year before he got hurt remember they were cross trining and I told you guys this they were cross trining him with some tight end stuff there were certain things in the Playbook that were is a comma they were going to they were going to give you you know different looks out of different packages and is aama was a big time Big Time part in the a part of that there were some 12 men and you know sorry 12 personnel and 21 Personnel looks with isak Kama that were really essentially 11 personnel looks and that’s what they were planning and then it all went to you know [ __ ] when he got hurt but I know they got plans for zaka and I know they’ve been had plans remember Wes Welker went to Texas Tech sorry what am I saying what am I saying he what sorry my bad um remember when you look at West Welker right West Welker went um to the same school as him which was Texas Tech like I said right so they both went to Texas Tech Wes Welker knows how underdeveloped he his Road tree was and how underdeveloped as a Road Runner he was right remember you know this this is a a a a a a university when Patrick Mahomes was there they’re running like an air raid so Welker’s taking him under his wings and they’ve really developed is aama there are very very very high hopes for isak in that building trust me trust me and I think we’re going to see dare I say he he starts performing and I think we see the greatness of Wes weler as a coach you people don’t realize how good of the coaching staff this is you know look Beyond Frank Smith Daryl bevel is taking a step down Daryl bevel at minimum in this league is an offensive coordinator we got him as a freaking quarterback coach Wes Welker I think is going to be one of the hot names to be an offense to get that offensive coordinator promotion when Frank Smith leaves it’s going to be Beville or Wes Welker and what I think happens if Beville gets the job I think they add a promotion to Welker’s title to up his money to keep him here remember Wes Welker left Kyle Shanahan to follow Mike McDaniel because that’s how much he believed in him Wes Welker is a fantastic coach we have a very good coaching staff John Embry look we have a very good coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball a lot of guys who have it up here so yeah um continuing on here uh we’ve been talking about the offensive line and the issues with the offensive line and tan Armstead um you know here’s the thing with Taran Armstead Taran Armstead we been talking about the offensive line on the left side especially between wi and Armstead will it stay healthy well this is what Armstead said on the rust Tucker podcast I actually feel great right now Ross this is I was just talking to my trainer today this is the best I have felt in June in the last four or five years so yeah it’s like that I’m I’m I’m I’m on that type of time when I step on the field is is I’m I’m trying to really give Defenders a a bad day a bad day that’s that’s what I’m on that’s the energy I’m bringing So Tan Taran armon’s out here saying this this is the best he’s felt at this point of June in four or five years man I really hope that TR translates I really hope that translates into him staying healthy and we listen we need him and Isaiah wi to have the healthiest seasons of their career we need them for as many games possible in the regular season and we need them for this playoff run if you can it’s like what Brit said yesterday on dolphins after dark if you can tell me this offensive line is going to be healthy we’re fine it’s when we start getting into the depth it’s when we start getting into the history of some of these players and the injuries they’ve had and the depth behind those guys with historical you know a historical track record of being injured that’s when we start getting into the issues that’s when we start having you know the doubt superfish says Craycraft has zero guaranteed money baros is guaranteed 7 million really hope Taj makes the team love how we’ve addressed depth this year I agree I love how we’ve addressed depth on everywhere but the offensive line now I think with tackle we brought back Kendall lamb we got Patrick Paul okay I’m happy there Right Guard at least we got two guys battling at Right Guard Lee mikenberg and Jack Drisco so we’ve got some depth there but at Center and left guard you’re playing with fire that’s how I perceive it at least that’s you know that’s how I see it um so listen you know now again like you said right like like you said I agree 110% the depth wide receiver is fantastic even it looks like the depth at tight end is ridiculous now I don’t know where you saw your numbers my friend at all um but okay here’s the deal if you were to trade Brax and baros you would have 450,000 in dead money and you would save 1.68 to million if you were to cut him post June 1st you would have 1.2 million in dead money but you would save $932,000 you must be looking at some old contract of his or whatever the case may be but you know the the move is if you trade him you know if you trade him again you say you save 1. 1682 million but you have to eat dead money 450,000 again dead money and cap savings kind of even out if you cut him it’s 1.2 million in dead money and it’s 932 th000 in calf savings so um and I think this coaching staff loves Craycraft I think we all think that I don’t think I’m the only one right I think we all pretty much know that you know that that’s that’s the reality of the situation 324 of you in the room please do me the favor smash that like button subscribe if you are new um listen I gotta I got I gotta say to you I gotta say to you do you want to see how crazy do you want to see how crazy Tyreek Hill is look at this chart that came out look at this chart about Tyreek Hill so this is receiving splits against single and two high defenses since 2022 right and they’re going single high yards per route run and two high yards per route run look at where Tyreek Hill is it’s literally look at what the person who made this graft impossible probably isn’t human like look at where P puka AA look at where waddle is Waddle’s in that receivers who are Elite and they want to try and PFF wants to try to tell us he’s the 23rd best receiver in the NFL are these people crazy are these people nuts huh now yards per R run basically this tells you how players respond you know on their volume changing right so that’s kind of what you what what you get from it right um basically you’re dividing a player’s yards by his routes run right and it gives you a pretty good understanding of how you can see them going with with their volume change so when you look at when you look at when you look at this it’s kind of crazy you know Tyreek Hill is on another level he’s a Difference Maker man he’s the best wide receiver in the NFL right now that isn’t named Justin Jefferson crazy absolutely crazy uh super fish if you go to Brax and fos on over the cap uh um I mean you can see it for yourself right uh Braxton If you go to Braxton barriers over the cap remember he only signed I don’t know where you got your 7 million guaranteed or $7 million whatever because he only signed a deal worth what 1.4 million or sorry 2.15 million he only had 1.2 of that fully guaranteed so um yeah if you if you look at it right now um you know trading him you save a lot of money so smash that like button subscribe if you’re new over 320 of you in the room right now I appreciate each and every one of you coming through enjoy the hockey game tonight I will be back this week remember Wednesday night one of the content creators
