00:00podcasts Jeremy Fowler who has been uh providing us with some content this week this may be Jeremy
00:05Fowler week I want to success with a fan credit Jeremy he's doing uh he did his top 10 countdowns
00:10he did quarterback quarterback yesterday uh they've got a bunch of top 10 lists among position
00:15groups across the NFL we're going to talk about some of that later on today as well but he also
00:20was on I believe what is this NFL live was that the program dares and they were talking about
00:25Stephon Diggs and uh which Hasselbeck is it is it Tim or Matt I guess it's Tim right Tim's the
00:310.0 quarterback rating yeah yes so Tim was speculating about places that Stephon Diggs might
00:36fit and then it was Jeremy Fowler's turn Laura Rutledge asked him what are you actually hearing
00:41about where Diggs might end up yeah Laura I'm hearing he's gonna have a market closer to training
00:45camp I was told that at least five teams that need a wide receiver have been checking in now they
00:50got
00:50to deal with some of the baggage and the headlines they are what they are but here's why Stephon
00:54Diggs I'm told is confident he had a thousand plus yards last year really playing on a snap count
00:59of around 55 percent of the snaps coming off an ACL he feels he's going to be better this time
01:05around
01:05I'm looking to the DMV lawyer that's where he's from commander certainly need a receiver I think
01:10they're looking for more of like a speed option at this point we'll see there are several veterans
01:13they could look at I don't think it's going to be Brandon Iyuk at this stage right and the Baltimore
01:17Ravens they have really made a a living at times signing uh retread receivers right better
01:24okay okay you're eight years old you come downstairs you got a lot of Christmas presents
01:32what is it it's a lot to unpack we got a lot to unpack right there okay there's Washington
01:38interest but they might want more of a speed receiver who the hell is that who in the hell
01:47is that here are the available receivers right now in free agency Tyreek Hill okay is that who we're
01:55talking about now he fits the speed market well he did before one of the nine most gruesome injuries
02:00I've ever seen on television yeah true ew gross I'll come back to that Stephon Diggs Debo Samuel
02:06Curtis Samuel DeAndre Hopkins Noah Brown Keenan Allen Jahan Dotson Kaderil Hodge Josh Reynolds
02:12Zay Jones Hunter Renfro Sterling Shepard Sky Moore DeAndre Carter Dwayne Eskridge Chris Moore Dante
02:18Pettis Brandon Cooks maybe that's the answer but who among that group is the speed guy that they're
02:25talking about that he's talking about what does that mean does that mean that's what they told you
02:30does that mean that's your opinion does that mean that's based on the fact that they went after
02:34uh Alec Pierce and they didn't get him what is that this this is the thing I know most of
02:41you
02:41don't care at all I promise you Grant and I for whatever reason this this puts our pantaloons in
02:47a bunch is this a report is this an informed opinion is this a this is what I'm hearing or
02:54this is just
02:54what makes sense to me who's the speed guy Toby that's my first question who is it I don't know
03:00because I don't even think you would classify at this point in his career Stefan Diggs is a speed
03:04guy so I don't know that he fits that bill and then going through the other options there I don't
03:09classify really any of those guys as speed guys like DeAndre Hopkins at points in his career has
03:14been really good and a downfield stretcher I don't know that he was ever a big time speed guy but
03:18especially at age 34 he's not a speed guy Keenan Allen is not a speed guy even if you get
03:23through some
03:24of the younger options like a Jahan Dotson not a speed guy right so it's not like there are tons
03:29of
03:29options to fit that role unless Tyree Kill is truly their option which you know we haven't heard
03:34any links of that so I haven't heard any links period of Tyree Kill to anywhere but it's just odd
03:40that you go okay they could go Stefan Diggs or you know they're looking for something to add some speed
03:45well the issue is Danny if they wanted speed they could have added that before everybody else got
03:52signed like this is kind of not the time unless you're going for one of these kind of guys here
03:58that's that's left I don't know that any of them classifies a speed guy so then who the heck are
04:02they going for who is he talking about is now maybe somebody gets cut that they know is going to
04:08get
04:08cut or the thing's getting cut and we'll have another Noah Brown situation which I'm sure will
04:12happen anyway that's the sport yeah but I don't want that to be the plan so play that one more
04:16time
04:16for me Darius that that's the first thing I noticed was they want more of a speed guy who in
04:22the
04:22hairy hell is this speed guy and if if a speed guy is available I'd like the speed guy who's
04:28the
04:28speed guy when's the speed guy coming let's do speed guy now sign the speed guy today put an end
04:33to the IUC thing which we'll get to in a second and sign the speed guy let's do the speed
04:38guy
04:38right now this minute more out of there we'll play it again for you in in a sec but the
04:46other part is clearly oh here's what I wanted to jump to go ahead and play it again Darius
04:54interest on digs yeah Laura I'm hearing he's gonna have a market closer to training camp I was told
04:58that at least five teams that need a wide receiver have been checking in now they got to deal with
05:03some of the baggage and the headlines they are what they are but here's why stefan digs I'm told
05:07is confident he had a thousand plus yards last year really playing on a snap count of around 55%
05:12of the snaps coming off an ACL he feels he's doing so here's why that's important I mean I know
05:18we're
05:18breaking this down like it's a Zapruder film dude here's why that's important hearing you heard that
05:23right I'm hearing yeah I'm told then he's got a line with you know again I'm not ripping him at
05:30all
05:31I'm not ripping Fowler even a little bit I'm saying that's a company line so to speak from the digs
05:36camp
05:37clearly right here's why he's confident and it's a good point it's a good it's what if I'm his agent
05:42I
05:42would probably bring this up on a snap count of just over half the plays for an offense it really
05:47wasn't about that life still top 10 in receptions top 15 or 16 in yards last year in a fairly
05:54part
05:54time role only a year removed from an ACL okay that's a pretty good case then I'm hearing there's
06:01going to be some interest closer to training camp teams have checked in that's what an agent will tell
06:05you a team's not gonna be like I think the Cardinals and I think the Ravens and maybe Washington
06:11Adam Peters not doing that on the phone with Jeremy Fowler so he's heard something oh he freaking
06:19heard something okay okay you're hearing things then finish it this time around I'm looking to the
06:26DMV lawyer that's where he's from oh what did you hear that because he just finished telling you about
06:33what he heard then he says our thing by antenna it's up go ahead they're certainly need a receiver
06:41I think they're looking for more of like a speed option what yeah throws a curveball now that's a
06:49I'm hearing I'm looking they want is that what they told the agent who told you you follow that
06:55yeah did they did they tell the agent who then told you they're looking for more of a speed guy
07:01and I'm going I'm just here I'm I what do I get where's my thing I don't know I don't
07:05know what
07:06to do what do I do with my hands right if everybody follow my chain is why I'm freaking out
07:10or am I
07:11just weird you're all looking at me like I'm a psychopath go ahead finish the clip there's
07:17there's several veterans they could look at I don't think it's going to be Brandon Iyuk at this stage
07:21right and that last one let me just throw this away let me just drop this on the ground
07:28in a in several sentences in a paragraph of hearing
07:33the final thing that he says so casually so casually what do you have for lunch I don't know
07:39maybe slice of pizza that level of casual I don't think it's going to be Brandon Iyuk at this stage
07:49that's the first time we've heard that isn't it that's the first time that's out there from
07:53anybody not just opinion not just yeah you'd be crazy to sign the clown show you'd be crazy to sign
08:00big stupid that's a NFL guy reporting on to a degree three sentences of reporting or sharing what
08:11he's heard then a couple things that are like they want a speed guy different veteran it's probably
08:17not going to be Iyuk those for us looking for scraps from that their table that's major stuff
08:22topes yeah 100% I mean you're getting little bits of information that he doesn't elaborate on
08:28greatly obviously in a show they're not focused entirely on the commanders but I think it's interesting
08:33to hear just some of their thought process where it might be an interest in digs they would love to
08:38add a speed guy and Iyuk seems to be out of the running for DC which means that I don't
08:43know where
08:44the heck he's playing if he's playing and that's kind of the the almost thrown away as a throwaway
08:48statement at the end there like I don't think it's going to be Iyuk at this stage so just a
08:53lot of
08:53stuff thrown out by Fowler there that I think for Washington really makes sense honestly when you
08:59think about Iyuk is not worth the squeeze at this point that the juice is not worth the squeeze
09:04dealing with all the stuff that comes with Brandon Iyuk so that makes sense that he's not going to be
09:08there so then they kind of seem to be on like as much as they want to say Danny that
09:14they're fine
09:14with their wide receiver room all the reports keep saying that they're going to be linked to these
09:18guys so clearly they want to add something so they would probably be on our side of saying we'd like
09:24to
09:24at least have another option that we feel good about we we don't mind the guys we have in our
09:29room
09:30but we want a reliable number two behind Terry McLaurin if it's Stefan digs great or whoever the speed
09:35option is fine but they do need to still do something to address that wide receiver two
09:41position I believe and it seems like Adam Peters would be in that same boat
09:47I don't even know how to hone this down to a question so you're usually supposed to have a
09:53question right when you do this thing yeah and it's like one side of the other
09:58here are my questions answer whichever one you want to answer all right everybody ready I want
10:03everyone to have their answers ready who in the hell is this speed option who is this other veteran
10:08who may also be a speed option why aren't they interested in it on digs or are they yeah and
10:17do you
10:17believe that it's not Iyuk like those are the four major things to me out of there answer whatever
10:23one of those you want we're going to have a conversation about it so again to recap fill
10:28in the scantron on these as many or one or three or four whatever questions you want to answer
10:33who the hell's the speed option who's this veteran that might be a speed option shouldn't they be more
10:38interested in digs and do you believe that it's not Iyuk 800-636-1067 800-636-1067
10:48quarterback on Netflix premiered at apparently three o'clock this morning I haven't had a chance to
10:52watch it yet but I will I know you guys will too we'll talk about that in the three o
10:55'clock hour
10:56but next your calls 800-636-1067 who's the speed option who's the veteran why not digs and do you
11:03believe it's not Iyuk
