00:01sneaking up football season it's time for the first
00:072026 nfl wide nine omaha four down around the lead blitz
00:22yeah not sure why i said it right before big voice guy said it but
00:27well we'll say thingy yeah you want that's right yeah you want to you want to have your big voice
00:32yeah not doug's strength ready to go yep uh okay so we flip the coin to see who goes first
00:41heads or tails i don't even have the coin ready wow someone's not ready no
00:45heads or tails gator i'm gonna go ahead so i'm ready to go okay what's oh it's a tail uh
00:51i will
00:51defer oh no you are ready to go all right question number one gator let's just stick local or i
00:57forgot
00:57who was local will terry and arnold ever play it down for the seattle seahawks
01:03nope i don't think he will i have a hard time thinking that he doesn't do hard time and look
01:10i hope for the best for terry and arnold when he got when he was drafted by the lions i
01:14think he
01:14totally endeared himself to the fans he had those videos out remember he didn't have the right jacket
01:18and he's like hey fam it's cold outside and all this i i really want the i was rooting for
01:24the guy
01:24he had a struggle to start his professional career with all the past interference calls and
01:29and but he got better and i kept telling myself that's it he's getting better it's gonna click
01:33and then injuries kicked in and then he just wasn't playing well when he was healthy and then this whole
01:38this whole situation just doesn't look it it seems that so much evidence has been leaked through the
01:45media to people like us and anybody else out there that has a phone that you can see all this
01:49stuff and
01:50read all the transcripts and stuff it just doesn't go well but i do say innocent always until proven
01:55guilty yes let him have his day in court but no if you're asking me do i think he's going
01:58to play a
01:59down for seattle and my answer is no i think there is writing on the wall already that he's not
02:03going
02:03to play a down in seattle one is they just signed trayvon diggs like yesterday they went out and signed
02:10another free agent corner that's one two is do you hear what seahawks gm john snyder said about
02:16turn on arnold on hard knocks he said to special teams coordinator jay harbaugh if if arnold were a
02:25seahawk quote i think we probably would have let him go the guy who just signed him said that i
02:32i this
02:33doesn't seem like it's ever going to happen it's a strange thing to say really strange well the thing
02:37is it doesn't make sense to me in general because that's all of sports you can't be the team that
02:41holds on to him but everyone's available to take him give him the second chance and that's okay
02:45which the guy's still facing whoever it is the same charges he was released for by his original
02:49team but to answer the question i do not think terry and arnold will ever play it down for the
02:54seattle seahawks i'm not sure what the seahawks in-depth background check entails but arnold is
02:59facing eight felony charges eight felony charges calling nick saban and asking arnold if he asking if
03:06arnold's a good dude doesn't really matter okay um arnold is going to land on the commission as
03:11exemplus at some point if he is signed by somebody and so he can't even practice or
03:15suit up which you would think seattle would know this and like you said doug so they went out and
03:19signed digs like it's gonna be a minute i don't think donald or arnold ever suits up for the seahawks
03:27is joe burrow overrated no the bengals organization has sucked now they're finally getting some return
03:35on their young offensive lineman a couple of guys they drafted are starting to play better it started
03:40last year but they've gotten very little production out of the run game there's not a lot of respect
03:45for the cincinnati run game and so joe burrow has been trying to make it work with talented receivers
03:50and kind of that's it without a lot of protection without a run game to support them that might be
03:56changing because their their offensive line might be in better shape than it has been i'll start there
04:01but do you know how many rushing touchdowns cincinnati had last year
04:0611 i i didn't have a chance to answer your question well you have a chance to answer the
04:10question now because i'm done but no i don't think he i don't think burrow's overrated i think that i
04:15think cincinnati hasn't really set him up for success i like joe burrow a lot loved him in college he
04:21had one of the all-time great if not the all-time greatest single season in college football history
04:26let alone that his team may have been the greatest college football team in in history but yeah i think
04:32he
04:32is a little bit here because part of being great or elite is surviving a season and he hasn't been
04:38able to do that with any kind of regularity only three of his six seasons has he played more than
04:4310 games if you keep him healthy he's awesome but you can't count on it even though he had an
04:48amazing
04:49season a couple years ago he had over 40 touchdown passes a quarterback rating of 108 and in those seasons
04:55where he's healthy he's really good but it's it's one year on one year off with him so i can't
05:00say
05:01that that he's truly great if he can't stay healthy i think he is overrated because he's listed in that
05:07tier one category by everybody and i'm as guilty as charged because i put him in that tier one category
05:12a lot of times when really if you think about it we make a lot of excuses for him yes
05:17he hasn't been
05:17healthy gator and because of the offensive line hasn't been as good as you know as it should be for
05:22our tier one type quarterback but joe burrow has never made an all pro no playoffs in the last three
05:27years and he may have the best one two wide receiver combo in the league i always say one
05:32super bowl victory can really cement your legacy but burrow seems to be living off one super bowl
05:36appearance i do think he has the ultimate skill set to be one of the best quarterbacks in the league
05:41and i think that's why we all put him in that tier one category but he needs to start stacking
05:45some wins to be long in that tier one category so yes i do think he's overrated
05:50all right once again raiders quarterback kurt cousins is having an issue with someone getting
05:55too physical with him in practice before it was max crosby's own teammate and this week
05:59it's with a joint practice with the texans apparently cousins elbow got hit and quote i might as well take
06:06the red jersey off because sometimes it's an understood rule that if it's not understood then
06:11what are we even doing is kurt cousins being a little too sensitive what are we even doing guys
06:18i don't know i didn't see the play i don't know if they have video of the play if he
06:21really got
06:22banged on that one or if somebody just grazed his elbow or not it seems like he's being a little
06:27precious about this a little dramatic here uh but then again you have to understand his situation
06:32right now he he was going to a team where he thought he was going to have a chance to
06:36where he was
06:37going to start and knowing that okay they got the top pick they might take this mendoza kid
06:42and apparently fernando mendoza's been amazing so he's doing all he can there's a lot of pressure
06:47right now for him to keep mendoza at bay and maybe he's starting to feel some of that pressure
06:51because in the end kurt cousins just wants to play football and he's a plus quarterback in this league
06:57and he may have chosen the wrong team to play for yeah cousins has been called qb1 by clint kubiak
07:02this is a veteran a respected pro he's a respected pro who really has not come across as a whiner
07:09in his
07:09career but it might he might be showing the signs i agree with you of being later in his career
07:13and
07:14feeling the oncoming pressure having one one breathing down his back and so because he knows
07:20the first time the raiders punt this year you're gonna hear the cat call from mendoza so i think
07:25it's really more a reflection on his the current context of where he's playing and yes to answer
07:31the question i do think he's being sensitive okay so i yes and no i think yes he's being sensitive
07:37but
07:37no because he doesn't need to let it be known i am the quarterback i have a red jersey on
07:41you're not
07:42supposed to get near me i just want to let that be clear to every single person out there but
07:46also
07:46yes he's being sensitive because you know kirk probably said this in the most suburban coals cash
07:51carrying minivan driving dad way possible and it probably was like all right dude relax relax kirk
07:57all right you didn't go down you're okay we touch your elbow you'll be fine but
08:06all right well aaron donald unretire and play for the rams this year
08:13uh i don't think so he's pretty famously stressed work ethic present uh you know professionalism
08:20doing things the right way and i think if he's going to come back he would have announced it by
08:25now i feel like he would do everything football related to be a hundred percent all in it's not
08:31in his makeup to sort of just parachute in so i think he's kind of made the decision already he's
08:39not going to play i tend to agree with you on this dog i mean aaron donald is truly one
08:43of the
08:43all-time greats in the national football league and did he retire too early i mean there was certainly
08:48more left in his career if he wanted to keep playing because he's playing at an awful high level
08:53but so was jj watt and he walked away from it i don't think he's going to come back and
08:58play he's
08:58only had what two practices they were both kind of like you didn't know about it until you saw it
09:02on
09:02the list the special guest list or whatever it is if he hasn't made up his mind it it just
09:07it just
09:08seems strange right now it sounds like he can absolutely still play but i also don't think he's
09:13going to play for free i don't think he's going to pull in lebron and i don't know how much
09:17cap space
09:18the rams have or how much money they can offer him because this is aaron donald i mean is he
09:22going to
09:22come back and play for a million dollars or is he going to come back and say you're going to
09:26have to
09:26i'll play but i gotta get paid 15. i don't see how he doesn't play at this point guys it's
09:31more
09:31than a teaser i think he wants that like if you want to work out go work out in the
09:35backyard go
09:35to lifetime fitness this dude has a helmet and pads on and apparently this is illegal because they just
09:41have to list them as a supervised tryout this guy was like the nfl's best offensive player like a
09:47couple years ago and he'd be one of the best players right now in the defensive he's suited up
09:51today by the way frank ragno how about you are coming in for a supervised tryout while we're at it
09:56too you know like uh if donald does come back and play though this is really bad news for wrestling
10:01league garrett and donald that same line and even if donald's on a pitch count still scary
10:11all right guys who will be the browns who will the browns name their starting quarterback for week
10:15one this is so tough uh and it's tough for me personally too because i i love watching shudder
10:21sanders play i root for the kid and at the same time you've got a talent that is deshaun watson
10:28and look it's been a rough goal for deshaun watson in cleveland since the trade and all the issues
10:33he's had off the field and then and then issues he's had with injuries and slow to come back but
10:38i still think that he would give them the best opportunity to win a football game if you had to
10:42win one to start the season so i think it's his job to lose but don't be surprised if shudder
10:49takes
10:50it away this week i think he's supposed to get most of the snaps this week in the preseason game
10:53and apparently he had a scrimmage over the weekend where he was flawless so shudder's coming on hard
10:59but i still think it's going to be deshaun watson yeah look top monken head coach there is in year
11:04one so he's got time if he wants to play the long game and start shudder or even dylan gabriel
11:11for that
11:11matter but i i think given the contract that deshaun watson has i think he's just going to be the
11:20default starter and and shudder will be on standby unless shudder goes and lights up buffalo this
11:26week which he might do i do but i i would go with watson yeah i'm gonna go with watson
11:30too doug and
11:31it's the contract and it's the fact that they've kept him around all this time at this point just
11:35play the guy because what was the point then you kept him around and if he does suck you have
11:40shudder
11:41ready to go there and and then you could play the long game because it is a first year head
11:44coach so
11:45yeah i'll go with watson start week one but that's that's tentative man all right last one guys last
11:52one quick the first thing that comes to your mind when i say soft tissue injury the lions i just
12:02feel
12:02like the lions are always the first thing that popped into my head specifically what injury what
12:08injury yeah soft tissue uh could be anything soft tissue related i don't know hip
12:19deep thigh contusion oh the bruise huh that's what i think when i hear soft tissue injury i think if
12:25if when i hear if it's something like acl or or hip or hoof if it's something like that i
12:32i think it's
12:33spelled out for you when when there's kind of like undetermined where we know it's not this or that
12:37we'll just call it a soft tissue injury injury like a deep uh bruise continue whatever thigh
12:44contusion yeah i just feel like we're hearing it more today and than ever this year i don't know
12:48why soft tissue injury they don't say specifically what it is so it's like all right well what's the
12:52soft tissue injury the first thing that comes to my mind is hamstring i just think his hamstrings
12:57off his ass like justin verlander or something i don't know the guy won't pitch anymore so we're
13:01wrapping up the liz frank era of football and moving into the soft tissue injury era of football
13:07lower body there you go that concludes the first y9 omaha four down around the league blitz thingy
13:14you
13:15you
