is Brandon Le gotten from bleeding GRE Nation my name rjo from bloging the boys blg do you say either or either heard it both ways I didn't ask have you heard it I I asked how you say it I think I say it both ways data or data definitely data not data that's not a real thing data is weird either or either work yeah um um we're recording late RJ peek behind the curtain it's 9:06 Eastern here on the East Coast April 2nd usually record this I don't know like what 1:00 p.m. Eastern or so noonish around there at some point but later record today we also so shout out to raelle first of all for um agreeing to still produce even though we are doing this much later um shout out to you for appeasing my schedule so shout out to everybody that isn't me basically um everyone you know adjust to me and makes me feel really special and and perfect and pretty um so thank you all for that it would be really difficult for there to be NFC East news after we record but before the episode launches but nothing is impossible we'll see about that also signed last night really late with the Chiefs um we love a good graphic a good like NFL share graphic did you see um I don't know who shared this actually but um it was uh it was the chief's quarterback room with various Lombardi trophies on them did you know what I'm talking about no I didn't see that so it had um like it had Patrick Mahomes and three Lombardi trophies and it had a practice SC I don't even know remember his name but a practice squad quarterback on the Chiefs that has been there for the last two years I had two Lombardi trophies over him and had a Lombardi trophy over Carson Wentz in a Rams uniform which I thought was really weird I mean I understand and actually respect using him in a Rams uniform because that's his most recent thing we actually get really annoyed when people will be like oh so and so former Cowboy signs with or whatever when they haven't played for the Cowboys in like five years um but you can't use the Super Bowl thing if you're showing him as a ram you get what I'm saying that's weird even using it showing him as an eagle is kind of awkward yeah he does have a Super Bowl ring uh the Eagles don't win the Super Bowl That season without him I think it's fair to say I think they don't have a Super Bowl season I don't think it's even like fair to say that like that implies that you have to reach to say it it's there's no way they win the Super Bowl with that I I feel like he's never gotten credit for any sort of involvement there in that well that's why I'm trying to uh to say that to preface it uh yeah interesting I guess that Carson went former Eagles and Commander quarterback is still around in the fifth team yeah right fifth team Eagles Colts commanders Rams and now the Chiefs as and he started games for all of them which is difficult to do in the last his last Eagle start was 2020 is that correct yep wow against the do you know it's team I think I can figure this out I believe jayen I hang on no it doesn't say anything I believe Jaylen herz's first start was against the Saints is that correct yes and so I want to say Carson's last was against the Packers I can't remember the first start thing now that I think about it but I guess that is true I'm pretty certain it was and yes it was the Packers is what I was looking for yeah they made the switch in Green Bay at halftime I'm looking for herz's first career start to prove it I think you're right I was just trying to it was the Saints and the Eagles won and I believe I'm checking now that Tamm Hill started at quarterback yes I think that was like the third of three games he had started or so he was undefeated at that point and the Eagles beat him that was the uh the covid year and that was in the middle of the run the Saints head where they um they played the Broncos with uh without a quarterback so yes who would have thought the Broncos would have regressed from a quarterback standpoint from that day somehow they found a way well I mean I think they've had quarterbacks better than Kendall Hinton all due respect but that's also say I'm saying I'm saying they regressed from Kendall hidden in in in the oh yeah but yeah I'm saying they've had better I mean Russell Wilson's better than Kendall it was a joke it was it was just a joke that's all it was we could have laughed about it instead of like actually parsing through it we're we're out of rythm we're doing this later than expected out of I do want to get to or I have one last Riff Raff before we get to the actual show um you mentioned the date it's Tuesday April 2nd have I ever told you the way that um like the the time in my life that I tried to pull an April Fool's joke on my parents that it backfired on Me Maybe I don't know so I was in college and and I I thought this would be hilarious I called my parents and told them that I had been looking into this and applying and whatever to appear on the real world and that I had an interview and I was like and I was like I don't even know if this is going to happen but I know I have an interview and if it does you know whatever blah blah excuse me and I did this presuming that they were going to go there's no way you can do this like you can't be on the real world and so that was going be the April Fool's joke and instead they both were all oh my gosh we are so proud of you and it really sucked to then have to to be all actually I made the whole thing up uh April fools so yeah that story more like the fake World nice uh you are a citizen of the world today yeah with look at this I had 20 tacos RJ for $20 or it's a a uh dollar taco night at locoz in Fishtown and I got this shirt for I was going to so you've got a shirt that says EO in Fishtown so that's Spanish obviously um and your shirt your cap excuse me says SD yeah that's for a humus brand okay you can check out my Instagram page to see no free ads but you know I mean they sent me a bunch of free stuff so I mean so it was a shout out not really a free I I guess it's not really an ad it's more of just like a you know a handshake deal if you will uh all right oh yeah anyway I uh $20 uh Taco KN um really good the challenge is can you eat it in under five minutes and I'm not like a speed eater guy feel I've been consistent about that I want to enjoy my food so I could not do the 20 and under five I did 14 that that would yeah I didn't I I like if I really wanted to do it if my life was on the line or something which I don't know why it would in that situation think I could do it but I could feel myself being like I don't want to have like a bad night so I'm not going to push it but uh if you do the 20 regardless you get the shirt so boom oh shout out to Loco piss well done um okay so it's Tuesday April 2nd it is officially NFL draft month today we're going to be taking a look at the needs from a positional standpoint that we uh see on every team in the division welcome to the nfc's mixtape we cover the whole thing also um I said you this earlier today on Tuesday ESP PN released or ESPN bet released I should say um their win totals for the year our our good buddy Rob stats Guerrera I don't know if you've ever heard him say this he used to say this was his favorite day of the year I don't know that that's true but that does sound like something he has said but it also sounds like something you would say but not necessarily mean like you said it and then it's the words are out of your mouth and it's like well I didn't really mean that but I did say it I've definitely done several podcasts in in several years several seasons with stats where he has said this is my favorite day of the year it's just not it's just not true it might be one of his favorite I believe that it might be a top 15 favorite totally May the idea that this is his favorite was um or is ridiculous but we'll get into um ESPN best we should ask him what his favorite day of the year is like like independent of this conversation like try trying to make him forget this yeah just text him right I'm texting him right now in our group text um and uh we'll no no no don't do that because then he's going to be like it's okay okay okay I'm I'm going to I'm just I'm typing the a bit so I'm going to say random question for you semicolon what is your favorite day of the year okay we'll see what he says all right so that'd be incredible if we're just so wrong and he says that the it's today because these win totals came out um but these are ESPN bets um DraftKings is our sponsor on the SP Nation NFL show but uh ESPN dropped it today anyway okay so uh let we go individal order the Dallas Cowboys won the division last year blah blah blah uh who cares do you what do you mean who cares all right cares is a fan of a team who used to hang as a fan of a team who hangs division winning banners I'm not I'm not doing that I'm saying who cares I'm taking ownership on my end so I wrote about this uh we actually haven't dropped it yet at btb the Cowboys need too many things like they don't have enough draft picks like enough of a volume of draft picks at least serious draat picks like from an actual quantitative standpoint they do I suppose but their top 100 picks they do not have enough they they've got it some of this all of this really depends on how they evaluate Tyler Smith whether he is going to be their left tackle or their left guard obviously if they view him as a tackle then they don't have a need there and vice versa but they do have a need at one of them obviously a need at left guard isn't as pressing or isn't as alarm inducing his left tackle um they hav a needed Center because Brock Hoffman is a human being but not one that I really want to trust obviously in a year of critical importance so Center is a need uh which spoiler alert is kind of if I have to lean a certain way in the draft right now it's Jackson Paris Johnson but linebacker is a need now the Cowboys of all positions have placed a Band-Aid piece of duct tape so to speak on that spot by signing Eric Hendricks he remains their only external free agent signing at the time of this recording and it once again it is Tuesday um stats has an answer but by the way he said my birthday so um that's a very stats answer as well um Cowboys also have a need at running back um I don't find this to be a massive need I I'm you know there's a lot of people who and and some of this and and you've talked about this the um like Regional bias want to see them draft Jonathan Brooks um which I think would be full hearty especially given the fact that he's coming off the injury but I digress a lot of people by the way thought in 15 when DeMarco left that oh man Dallas is definitely going to draft Duke Johnson or Kevin Coleman or they're definitely going to get one of these guys and they didn't um they just trusted Joseph Randall and and Darren mcfaden and Christen Michael so I think we could and I don't know if you've seen this or not but um the Zeke thing that you know we' thrown at is of course I saw that what do you mean did I see that well I mean it was such an it was such an obvious joke that was such an obvious like potential reality that it's just hard to accept but whatever um so so going to happen it's so it's so going to happen I would offer this last one as a need and then I'm anxious for your thoughts on everything and this I did write about and it's out at least at the time of this recording I'm my position is that the cow should should sign Dak Prescott to an extension I think that's pretty obvious around here however if you're not going to you have to draft a quarterback you have well no I mean again I'm I'm against this but you know if that's the the boat you want to live in they do not have a quarterback under contract for next year Cooper Rush is is on on the last his deal at Tre Lance unless they pick up his fifth year option to 22 24 M yeah there's just no way they're going to do that so even if you are committed to some sort of rebuild or whatever you have to have somebody on your roster or else you put yourself at risk of even if it's with Trey Lance in negotiations in the offseason giving that person all of the leverage it won't be you know to the same degree that Dak Prescott holds it obviously given everything but you're literally going to then put yourself in the exact same situation where the person you're negoti with knows that you need them more than anything else I'm not actually saying that drafting a quarterback provides some sort of Leverage against Dak Prescott but it does in a literal sense it at the very least gives you some sort of mild ammunition the most mild ammunition but a an actual non-zero level nonetheless to go to Dak and say we have a plan if you leave and they can't do that right now so again if you've committed to moving on from Dak then a quarterback is on this list for me that would not be my choice though your thoughts yeah I mean I think that's a really sobering thought by you I mean jokes aside trolling aside I think it you know I think about with eagles did with Carson Wentz and it's not the same situation here but just you know the general philosophy of being the quarterback Factory uh I think this kind of fits in that and I think generally that is a worthwhile thing to do it's not even just about you know the leverage of it all it's also like what if what if Dak doesn't want to play for the Cowboys what if he decides and I'm not saying that's the most realistic thing thing I'm not saying like he hates the Cowboys but sometimes in sports relationships sour and like we saw that with Kirk Cousins in Washington sometimes there are circumstances or maybe Dak feels like hey it's two times now where it came up to the end of my contract where you know we couldn't get this done early so maybe he's worried about like that third potential payday also maybe the season goes arai a bunch of different things can happen the point is like the Cowboys have to prepare for even the slight possibility of he might not want to come back even if we can give him the best offer Maybe he wants to go some play somewhere else especially if the Cowboys keep flaming out like they usually do so uh I absolutely think as well that depending on how the board shakes out and obviously a lot can change uh and from what we expect right now on April 2nd till the end of this month but let's say you know Michael penx is sitting there at where the Cowboys pick 25 24 24 or or like right around there maybe they can trade up a little bit point being like what if there's a quarterback on the board and the Cowboys are like you know what um and certainly uh wait McCarthy was not still in Green Bay when Jordan love was drafted right correct that he that was his second year gone that was the 2020 draft and his he was fired Midway through 18 but he was was he there when Aaron Rogers got drafted no he he was in San Francisco when they drafted Alex Smith over Aaron roggers the ners obviously the point I'm trying to make is I guess he's been around like an organization you know that even though if he wasn't directly implemented he did manage the the far R thing at the very least even though he wasn't there he did manage it my point is like he's had that Dynamic before at least and he's worked for an organization that thinks that way so I don't think it's like this totally foreign concept that he might not be totally unprepared to deal with so yeah I mean again I know it's not the most ideal situation for you in terms of what you would want to do ideally but if you're looking at what's most realistic coming out of what you think is expecting to happen with him not being getting extension then yeah that has to be on the table again I mean I don't know how to quantify The Leverage The Dak has I mean in the article I put it at 99.9% and if they don't take a quarterback with a premium pick then then it goes to 100% because then you actually like right now you kind of have that that incredibly loose threat right like I don't know man if you know if this happens and this quarterback Falls you know we could take them and it would be so stupid you know people have thrown out like spending you know the second round pick 56 overall on pennick or or bonick or whatever and it's like okay well now we're still doing this improperly because now you don't have the fifth year option and that's not the like you know end of the world I mean Jaylen Herz was a second round pick right like so like it can happen but I mean for once it would be nice to see them do things at the very least on paper the conventional way whatever but I mean I don't I don't want to act like quarterback is the most pressing lead the whole I would say the conviction too is part of that you know I mean like you want to draft him because you really believe in this guy not just like because to do it but back to what at the very least her prime Prim AR needs right now because this that is a hypothetical at the very least um it does depend on what they want to do with Tyler Smith Center for me I mean we had a great article that OCC wrote at uh at btb kind of evaluating 40 different mock drafts and where people have the Cowboys going and what direction etc etc and my favorite world right now not my favorite player for them to pick is Jackson Powers Johnson because I would I would much rather walk away with the best center in the draft a plug-and-play day one dude who you know you can rely on and not saying that I'm against you know Tyler giden or you know whoever that ult like pick the tackle that is the fourth or fifth or six dude off the board but I don't I just I would rather be ahead of the curve on something and and live to kind of find another day elsewhere plus the tackle class is is deep you could address that position later on anyway so um I don't know if Jackson Paris Johnson will fall to them but that's like it you know how draft season is we kind of have movements or we you know one month you feel this way or one week you feel that way and then something happens and it can kind of change Within and sometimes it works out perfectly like you and Devonte Smith um but right now all my eggs are in the Jackson par Johnson basket as it relates to the Cowboys I think that's reasonable I think offensive line makes the most sense I always think about you know what's the common theme with some of these very best you know Dallas Cowboys seasons over the past so many years in contrast to the ones that weren't really good obviously you know quarterback injury is a factor but the offensive line um being up to Snuff has been a really big deal for for them so and you know you lose Tyron Smith I know Tyler abattis wasn't anything special but he there's certainly room to go down especially with no clear replacement behind him so and Zack Martin's getting up there I mean he's he's probably one of the oldest players in the NFL right active he is um well I mean the class of 2014 in general but to that point Aaron donnal just retired and he's a member of that class and Mike Evans is there and Odell is there right like all those dudes are kind of you know Aaron Rogers is speaking of is kind of carrying the mantle for oldest dude in the NFL but he is now the longest tenear player on the Cowboys with Tyron gone to actually join up with Aaron Rogers so um so yeah I mean I feel like they'll probably kick Tyler to left tackle just because it makes the most sense and if they do then I don't need you to worry about a guard you know right away then you really have to go Jackson par Johnson but if if if they don't address offensive line you know we found out today I'm sure you guys have a 30 visits tracker going on as well at BGN that Byron Murphy is one of their 30 visits I would not love so confusing that it's a name of a player in the NFL only drafted a few years ago well that's the Cowboys had that going on with Conor McGovern who was an offensive line true I never know who is who it was very it was very weird um in ch looking for photos um sometimes it was a tough situation but anyway um I would he's an incredible player and I would love it from that perspective and I'm not even against the idea but I feel like you almost can't do that because you almost kind of have to rely on the Mazi Smith thing working out like and if they don't add what would be like a true and utter disaster for me my man I know it is but again they've put they've painted us into a corner here with like not addressing the roster at all in free agency so I mean I only have so many lemons to make lemonade with here and so I'm doing my absolute best but that being said if they don't address the offensive line in whatever fashion that is with their first round pick and if they take Jonathan Brooks in the second round that is the most that is like the worst possible thing for me I know we'll do um an episode that is like things things we don't want to see but I'm talking about the Cowboys here like that that's my opinion if if the Cowboys do not address the offensive line and then draft their running back now you're putting and if it's Jonathan Brooks a running back coming off of an injury behind an offensive line that has no help and is in some Dire Straits as is I mean this is saquin in New York to a lesser degree because sequin was like the most talented person you could put in that situation and he failed um relatively speaking of course so um that's where I'm at Jackson P Johnson no matter what okay I mean that's not always the most exciting but it is like eating your vegetables you have to do it last thing um I mentioned we would do the win totals ESPN bet has the Cowboys at 10 and a half for 2024 and they won how many last year they've won 12 every year in a row for three years and they've gone over the projected win total every year for three years in a row H i' take the overall nine and a half I want to see their schedule I I haven't seen their schedule you know obious I mean I got to look at their opponents I got to double check that AFC North and NFC South because that's always a big and then you get the the first place schedule so and schedule order maners too but yeah well I mean well nobody has that but the so the first placess of it all is the Lions the Bucks and the Texans um that's their three games for winning the division last year uh I'm going to say under just from a standpoint of I think that there's disaster potential here you know McCarthy in his last year um Dak potentially lame duck uh Dak is not going to be as good as he was last year and that is the same that's coming from me who said he was definitely going to be better than he was obviously in 2022 I think his year next year is going to be between the two kind of more extremes I would say of 2023 where he was in the MVP conversation until late and then obviously the low of leading the league interceptions in 2022 so I think you kind of you know you're kind of wa like wasted one of his best years there and even if he's good I think he's going to be a little bit of a step down at least and then the fact that it's a division where no one repeats and no one just rules over the division so easily so I would it's tough It's a good number it's 10 and a half right yes yeah I think they could get to 10 I think they'll be around 10 but I'm GNA lean under on that I'm pretty much with you except I'm going to lean over I'm gonna got worse I I'm not denying that but I mean they've hit the over three years in a row and that isn't you can't just Bank off of that um I'm really mad at them I want to be very clear about about that but I I would rather be wrong this way um and the fact that they've proven because I've taken the under a lot of times but I would have set the number at N9 and a half because I would take the over on that because I think 10 is is right the end again that's I like getting the 10 yeah I like the 10 a lot that's why they're very good at this but I'll I'll take the over and assume they just but I mean to the main point Washington's better New York's better like some of those wins that they've piled up to help get to 12 each of the last three years are going to be a lot more difficult to come by but I'll still lean this direction for now um by the way for the purposes of this discussion I pulled up the dep sharp servy team on ourlads and you know how they have um they have uh some names shaded in aqua that are um that are free agent editions sure it's just it's so sad to look at the Cowboy step trar because there's it's just Eric kendri whose name is in aqua um but okay let's move on to the Philadelphia Eagles do you want to list their team nades or or do you want my guess on what they are we should talk about thean reic thing a little bit um how he's on a better team that wors green the real gang green uh he was traded for a third round pick in 2026 not even 2024 2025 2026 that can become a second round pick if two qualifications qualifiers happen then I think that's playing over 67.5% of the Jets defensive snaps and double digit sacks so I want to congratulate you because nobody loves a PIX tracker throughout the regular season like my man blg uhas that's what I'm saying you've had these every year in a row for I don't know how long and you have a new one and it it's got some some it's more than just like their team record so it at least challenges your brain yeah really you know inspires you to check in every week too as opposed to you know just you see the standings you already know it's like oh wait did he actually play you check the snap count yeah so uh you know I don't think that's good enough I think kassan reck uh is obviously a great player and he is the fourth most sacks in the league over since 2020 just a stat I say a lot but like it's just I think you're overthinking it if you're like actually is run defense and I hate that I hate that be that's become a thing so much because first of all I don't even think it's that bad second of all who cares it's run defense you're telling me like the guy who gets a ton of sacks can't defend the run like chill out a little bit and also his replacement Bry Huff wasn't even put on the field for rundowns that's very much like a Bugaboo with him and is not proven so like how is that the answer that the guy replacing him is even worse at defending the Run than Assan reck is so I don't like that I think the Eagles just kind of went into this thinking there's no way he'll be back so um they just tried to make the most of it which I guess if that was a circumstance it could have been worse I don't think it's an F minus in that sense but my objection to that would be and never had to be you're just like definitely moving on from him I think they should have played hard ball I think they did it with Zack hers in the past who had way more you know cache with the team and the organization uh game-winning touchdown Super Bowl catcher Z was not really a touchdown I mean he B it was it was unequivocally a touchdown very questionable so it's not it's really not I mean it was a touchdown in two ways so I'm going to get into it now that you said it number one he clearly takes three steps before he at least also loses okay so he had three before that so he became a runner before he broke the plane number two the ball never hit the ground yeah but he lost control yeah but he then caught it when he rolled on his back he has it in his hands onto the go line it bounces up into the a it doesn't hit the ground only he lost possession of it but it didn't hit the ground so it's not incomplete at that point and then it rolls on his back and he catches it there so that's still a touchdown even if you're saying the feet thingle watch it anyway uh wow excuses tough so uh yeah anyway I think Hassan Ric I mean the Eagles are a worst team they traded a player who was Elite at a premium position and they got something that might not even help them for the next two seasons so they're a worse team uh and I don't love that move um so now to Parlay that into our current conversation uh and I guess give me any thoughts on reic if you want I don't think Ed rusher suddenly the the Eagles biggest need they obviously did sign Bryce Huff they are bringing back Josh SWAT Nolan Smith they took in the first round last year they're obviously going to be hoping he can take a jump Brendon Graham is still here um that's not like stacked but it's also not like oh we have to take a player in the first round now because we traded Hassan reick uh so what's your thought on him being out of the division I don't have a thought on him being out of the division I never feared him in the way that you needed me to um so I need you to whatever um I will say this this does feel like one that how he did get a little cute with because while I you know didn't drink the same level of koola I I find Hanan R to be a very good player to be very clear but um you know didn't it's not even like a debate it's just OB true but my point is if if we had rewound if we like if we went back in time and told ourselves a year ago like oh he's going to go for a third round pick in 2026 that may become a second like that would feel so incredibly low for the production that that you got from him and so it it just it feels like I don't know I mean and there's a whole lot of cope going on within Eagles fandom about this trade and that's kind of what's annoying me well like I said oh his run defense is bad oh he's getting older blah blah there's oh he he was not great at the end of last it's interesting how it's interesting how run defense matters all of a sudden because Demarcus Lawrence is a lead at it and nobody really cares about that I'm saying I don't care about it that's what I'm saying though no but I'm saying there I'm I'm not necessarily saying you're a hypocrite but there's definitely a hypocrite out there who's you know I just stop if that's the biggest issue with a guy who was fourth most sacked in the NFL like okay fine I'll sign up for that anyone will sign up for that it's just lame it's pathetic no way at the end of the season was anyone like you know what we need to do to fix this defense or get headed in the right direction we need to trade to son Ric no one was saying that absolutely not and there's a lot of revisionist history and people trying to cope and make sense of it I just think it's not a good move it's a bad move and this kind of is like the opposite or this is what we talked about with the squin thing a little bit where like sometimes Eagles get the benefit of the doubt somewhat deservingly uh when it comes to moves like that uh but like in this case I think they're still getting that and I don't think they deserve it in this this time around like they might with saquin you're saying like the jur still out for you on that there's more logic to that than there is to this trait um don't have a h reic take um but I do have an eagles just thing to share before we get to the draft eag thing to share so this is hard for me to admit but the mix tipe is a place of honesty so which is why I I thought about it and I'm willing to share this have you been keeping tabs on the final four at all like or the the tournament at all like have you uh which one either oh this in this case the men's but either I did watch the LSU Iowa game last night at least the second half it was pretty cool obviously Caitlyn Clark's pretty great so for the purposes of of what we're talking about here I'm referencing the men's tournament in Yukon who's been on an absolute tear um and their Coach Danny Hurley kind of rubs people the wrong way I don't know if you're aware of this you're an East Coast guy so I mean you know I don't know if you know what what the conversation is in that n of the woods uh but he well you're yeah you're an East Coast guy it's all the same but anyway um so he has a a Bravado about him that I find to be funny and I find to be interesting but does annoy people and I thought about this and and you know kind of to myself and I thought damn it he's Nick serani that's who he is like he's the nick serani of college basketball and I kind of like it a lot um so respect and I long said I and I think you'll AG back me up on this that when you're winning you can do whatever you want the you know as long as you continue to win you can be as obnoxious as you want and Nick damn near pulled it off to the point that he would have had bragging rights for eternity on it but you don't or he didn't and as a result when you put that Target on your back people come for you hard um and so it was just an interesting experience for me watching Danny Hurley and thinking about Nick serani I can't comment on that at all cuz I don't know but uh the eagles's two biggest needs I would say number one a lot of people will think like short-term immediate need look at the depth chart right now have to play game today cornerback because they have Darius Slay who I we don't need to relitigate here but he is certainly locked in as a above average starter for sure and then on the other side shrug because James Bradberry is still on the roster currently that's a surprise a lot of people thought they would designate him as a post June one cut they could still actually just cut him after June one if they want and the advantage of doing it at that point or why they would do it at that point and not do it now is that they have some OTAs and a mini camp coming up they can kind of get a look at him in those practices see like okay is he truly kind of just cooked doesn't have anything left and should we just definitely move on uh or you know maybe they see something they like I'm not saying you make that decision just based on that but it kind of gives you a little bit more information and also kind of depending on else what you do in the draft and whatnot key Ringo with e go traded up for in last draft uh I believe I think their third this year to move up into the four uh last year to get him early in the fourth round and he showed some promise down the stretch one of the few players who late in the season actually was kind of like interesting a little bit uh had some struggles too um so kind of not just a certain start there on the outside and then a lot of mock drafts have the Eagles taking like Cooper deene or uh neyir cornerback here A bunch of them in that range where they might take them but I don't think those are going to do that I think that's what kind of like is the more of the instant gratification what people want unless you know there's a big run on offensive tackles but I think they're going to take an offensive tackle I think that's what they want to do it's what they have done in terms of Lon Dickerson Jason Kel or uh cam Jurgens you know these it's different position but Andre Dillard they drafted him obviously when they still had um Jason Peters Jason Peters so um I think that's what they're going to do and I in a perfect world you want your first round pick to be playing for you so it's not like great if they're on the bench I think and my my friend Jimmy kmky who I host BGN radio he's our friend the bleeding your Nation Podcast uh you know the way he framed it and I think this kind of makes sense or at least is a good way to defend it is if you're first- round pick isn't playing that's a good thing from the standpoint of both Jordan milata and Lane Johnson are healthy and certainly you know you like that in a given season so perfect situation though would be you take your first- round offensive tackle he can play right guard for you so you move cam Jurgens over to Right Guard to Center and you can kind of play there for a little bit a year or two and then eventually either take over well probably take over for Lane Johnson in the future would be the hope so I had tackle as as you know the position that made the most sense to me I also had linebacker I don't know if you agree with that um it is it's just not you know where the value Lins up in the right right right um I mean but for the purposes of just team needs um but so I view the Cowboys and Eagles in a similar way in that they're both trying to evolve the plane while it's flying like while they're in the air already um you know like they're trying to enhance the plane you know they're trying to like you know apply modifications to the plane you know I mean like they're trying to install new things on the plane but they're in the air you know they're mid-flight that's a really difficult thing to do now I think the difference between Philadelphia and Dallas is Philadelphia went up into the air with the materials on board right so like they're they're already kind of ready because do they have a needed linebacker yes did they make a move at the position yes I mean I know that people think what they do about Devon white but at the very least again he's a material on the plane in this particular analogy the Cowboys don't have materials on the plane as relates to offensive line or whatever again I we this is about the Eagles here um so in that sense I mean it's not ideal obviously to you know you think your first round pick supposed to be a plug andplay day one starter but the Eagles have a very talented roster and so that's just kind of where they're at and that's not a weird thing like what a what a horrible quality of theirs they don't have an obvious ho that they have to address with the first round draft pick but um it bums me out to I was just GNA say to hear the tackle could be in play because that wipes another one off the board for the cus right but it does push Jackson par Johnson down potentially sure uh although I think I think could conceivably be in the mix as well I don't I think lesser likely but cuz I think they want to tackle more than a guard Center kind of guy but uh yeah I think the value just also is going to line up with that in this year's draft class I think there's going to be some really again barring some kind of like you know huge run on them in the late teens or whatever although how could always move up for one uh I definitely think that's in the mix there and kind of talking about how tying in the reic thing to this again they traded for a pick in 2026 that's so far away or at least it feels it right now why wouldn't if so you're thinking just I'm talking about likelihood here why wouldn't that same team maybe take a a first round pick who might not even help the team this year they're clearly point being they're clearly not just like the Jets who retic was traded to who are like we're all in on this year you know really focusing this year making a chips Allin push which is a little weird and our good friend John Stones our good friend John Stones put on uh bleeding green Nation today an article about how the Eagles are kind of sending mixed messages and I kind of agree with that a bit because I mean you have serani here and what feels like kind of this like really pivotal year and yeah he that's the that's the equ definitely an equivalent to the cowbo situation like serani is to McCarthy totally he's not in a contract year but like whatever like that's head coaching money there's no salary cap it's fake it doesn't matter but but to that point unlike the cow the Cowboys have shown a willingness to take their coach contracts to the final year they haven't fired a head coach in a long time whereas the Eagles have fired a head coach you know like multiple times like they're not afraid to do that to your point yeah they don't teams don't want to do it obviously because it's not a deal to be paying someone that's not working for you but yeah that's not if if the team stinks Jeffrey lur is not going to be worried that oh no we have to keep him because of his contract so but it's just weird because I mean if I mean think about that trade by the way too From sani's perspective think about like okay so we're trading Hassan reic away like our best pass rusher and okay we got Bryce Huff that's great I the thing I tweeted out part of my reaction to the trade if you didn't see it if you're not on Twitter if you're not following me I don't know if you saw it specifically either was like you know Hassan reic is the boat and uh Bryce Hoff is the mystery box like from Family Guy it's like it could be anything yeah they want a boat it's like just take the boat and yeah it could be anything it could be it could even be a boat uh so I kind of feel like that's the situation there but yeah so if you're serani just like imagine that imagine and I'm not saying to be clear they should make moves in mind only for the best of serani but the reality is like you know he is feelings too and I'm sure he's seeing that and kind of I wonder where he's at on that the best of serani is the best for every Eagles fan like whether an Eagles fan likes him or not because this we talk about this all the time how it's weird how NFL teams almost Bank on the worst possible thing happening so they can like win the deal right like I mean I don't mean to make it about the Cowboys but like well I think NFL teams is a little bit more the Cowboys so like what would like the Cowboys would quote unquote win their their negotiation with Dak Prescott if they had to pay him less right okay well how would that happen he would be really bad and and therefore you would be really bad but if he plays really well and he wins the deal that means that you lose the deal right like and and the same point is true in this instance for serani right like if if he does really well well then everybody wins like everybody gets what they want and if he does really poorly then nobody gets what they want so like the success that everybody cares about is tied directly to his you know mo I mean you get the point um yeah unless you just think he's already kind of DOA and you feel like you have they have to move on but yeah I I'm ready to move on from the Eagles but I have one last Philly thing if you're okay moving on from the Eagles I'm listening are you okay moving on from the Eagles though like guess because this is the last thing I want to talk about are you excited that Jo is back uh oh shout out to Sketchers anyway um not a free I guess that was a free ad but no free ad there really was anyway you brought up John stolen this I saw that he passionately made the argument that it was okay that the Phillies hung up Banner noting that they were a playoff team last year yeah I don't agree with that okay because you were against division banners early on um but sta said it was okay to commemorate and this hanging it for last year I still am against this but if if they'd hung I don't know if they have one for 2022 but like for winning the national league that's a real thing right like also Steed in Tradition right right like like like the lore of baseball that's a real thing to hang a a pennant right but to like hanga just like oh we lost the NLCS to the Diamond Backs like that's a weird thing to do in my life yeah I especially how they lost you know they were up what 2 and everything like yeah it's just it doesn't really make sense to me I'm not going to defend that I definitely don't like The Vibes at the bank baby watch and also it kind of matches up to and shout out to our listener Debbie Rush who always comments that she hates the baseball talk that we have on here um that at least on the B bleeding your nation side uh the energy too yeah last year when they did like the ring ceremony for winning the NL it's like the energy is wrong for that it's just they kind of want to and I get it like you're a billionaire owner you know you he Phil's payroll is huge right so you want like you want that moment of gratification as the owner who's spending all this money but it's not real though it's like it's fake you're you're faking it I saw the Diamondbacks you know celebrating obviously the lost the World Series but it's like if you want to give them Rings okay fine in a private ceremony okay whatever for them I'm not saying they shouldn't have them they should it's weird from a fan perspective but like so the Eagles got NFC Championship Raks right like from two years ago as well but I don't recall there being like a ceremony for that like it makes sense that everybody kind of wants that to happen in private because yes you obviously lost the most important game one of the most important series but to have like a ceremony you know like that's how the Diamondbacks did it and I'm happy for them but again it's just it's a little weird it's a it's a weird and I understand the tradition of like penants and whatnot but whatever I'm ready to move on are you all right always take a break so it's take a break right now and then we'll be back after this we're back here on the NFC East mixtape um definitely after some ads that you just heard and not after a weird pause on the YouTube video versions uh leave us a like by the way I I've heard I've heard that's important R.J to the algorithm and whatnot because you know a lot of people comment and subscribe and we appreciate all that good stuff but actually the easiest thing to do even easier of all those is just click the like button doesn't like there's it's such a low commitment so uh click the like button if you're watching this I hate to make I hate to kind of go out of order but uh we didn't do the Eagles uh win total and it's 10 and a half so quickly um I'll do the over on that I'm over too but I just like Dallas I don't feel super great um but I'm going to lean over nonetheless it's because you know no team repeats and I just feel like eagles have a good chance I'm actually I'm I think I feel good good about their chances of being better than they were last year or like rebounding a bit but I think I feel not as good as their ceiling I feel better about their that's I think a better way to frame it more consise way to frame it feel confident in their floor but not so good about that's a good way to put it I agree with that okay um to the New York Giants their biggest non-quarterback need is what in your opinion UM quarterback is their biggest need by far we don't have to State the obvious here we've done that in million right I think offensive line still they need to Fig like that's not it's not like necessarily fixed I know they've like tried to throw things at that and you know they obviously made some frent signings to try to get better in that regard um uh it's that and I mean really the other thing that has been coming to mind is volume Target it's not even necessarily receiver could be a tight end the Darren what the Darren Waller trade was supposed to be is really what the Giants need jren Waller who we still don't know if he's going to retire or not they need a volume Target in that offense they do not have that I like Jaylen hayatt a lot I think he's going to be a good player friend ofine volume Target Jaylen haatt what's that friend of mine Jaylen hayatt we got to get him on the mixtape he I thought he was a really good interview when you interviewed him uh during Super Bowl week I would like to get him on here I thought he had some like honest and uh but fair he was super that's a great way to put it like super um authentic you know what I mean like like not you know some guys can be kind of fake about it even but Kavon Tibido I know people accuse him of being fake he was super authentic and super real I know you're not a fan whatever um but I was going to go safety I know that's kind of weird but I I hear your your position on this obviously because they're starting safety right now is or sorry starting guard right now left guard on ourlads Aaron stinny that was a backup in the Bucks last year like come on I mean again I'm not offering the idea that they're you know good um you know at guard but I'm saying they lost Xavier mckenny who was one of their best players last year that insane or they didn't resign him why I know I mean I don't know um so Jaylen Mills is there now shout out um did the was it green here the Green Goblin yeah his Twitter is Green Goblin so their starting safeties are Jaylen again according to Arlin Jaylen Mills and Jason pinck pin's like a decent player probably kind of spoiler alert he might be like you know most underrated player on the Giants like he's he's been he's been solid maybe Kon Tibido is the most underrated player he's not underrated no one's underrating him you are anyway um so sa maybe maybe safety isn't the number one outside of quarterback but it's up there for me you know what I mean like I I think if if you if you had asked me the things I fear on the Giants before this off season began you know their safety play was one of them because of Xavier mckenny and now that's not there and so I don't mean to say like oh Xavier MC's gone like let's go get the mystery box that can be the boat you know to your point but it is still a void that they have to fill and I don't think you know that they've done that properly so safety I think offensive line like you could play offensive line for any anybody in the NFL obviously I mean you know and we did that with Dallas and Philadelphia so I'm not saying that they're exempt in that regard but um wide receiver are we willing to go that far like is it is it like volume Target I know but like to isolate the position specifically because if we talk about just wide receivers because it's possible that Darren Waller could be serviceable for them it's possible Poss might not play for them no I know I mean but again I mean leaning optimistic here but from a wide receiver standpoint the starting receivers are the informance Hyatt Darius Slayton who is great and wand Robinson who obviously a lot of people like in different capacities but there's noon's not great he's fine I think he can be great though like he's had some great moments I mean again relative to what they've had going on there for a very long time so they need like that Alpha you know they need what Kenny G was supposed to be why I said a volume Target yeah but but you're you that was a wide blanket I'm talking they need that tried andrue wide receiver specifically and this is a draft that's very deep at the position obviously it could be and yes but that's the kind of receiver too it can't just be like another like big play kind of guy like j j h is you know in theory supposed to be they need someone who can dominate targets and sure wide receiver would be great although if Waller isn't back I mean their depth chart at tight end after that is Daniel Bellinger who I actually liked but well everybody likes that's why they were kind of bummed about the the Waller trick because everybody's like oh man now Bellinger is not g to get to play anymore but I don't know if he's like I think he might be more of a tight end too to be honest and then behind that you know it's Chris manherz Jack stole formerly from the the Eagles Tyreek Jackson formerly from the Eagles you know it's just there's not a lot there behind them they those guys especially manher and sto I think are more like blocking kind of tight ends they're kind of tight end two tight end three guys so um it's almost like a tight end room of the slot receivers that the Giants had last year just a billion different slot receivers were all mediocre so uh yeah I like W Robinson I think he's a decent player in the slot there slayton's like if he's your number if you're if he's your second best receiver it's like probably okay it's probably fine um but it feels like they need a little bit more help there well thankfully they in all likelihood won't have a premium asset to devote to any of these positions because they well I don't know I I I I guess every day I feel like it's less and less likely that they're going to walk away with one of these quarterbacks in the first round really well I mean I I just don't know that they have the ammunition right like we obviously Chicago Washington are going quarterback I know New England is kind of a pivot point and Arizona's not taking a quarterback but we we all kind of presume that Minnesota is going to get up there somehow some way and take theirs so Minnesota Minnesota will be the third team and we just could be it comes down to whether or not New England wants to take a quarterback and whoever you find that or believe that to be whether it's Jaden Daniels or jadden McCarthy or if you think Drake May is the one who falls um I just don't know that the Giants are I think they're they're like the bridesmaid here relative to the core four of quarterbacks in the class there was a article on bigblueview.com about how uh I think I don't I forget how they worked this but somehow our good friend Ed Valentine worked it where they pulled like Vikings fans I think maybe took from the Vikings um ESP Nation reacts to where Viking sins would rather have the or sorry no um who is it who's the trade-up candidate at is it four no five the Cardinals are at four so they they're the spot if New England goes quarterback at three that everyone thinks Minnesota will go to to to go get I'm forgetting which team they specifically said it but they basically a longwinded way me here of saying they they prefer the Vikings package to what the Giants would offer so um you know fans sentiment Cardinal card trade with Vikings not Giants because the Cardinal I'm sorry the Vikings now have two first round picks that and the Giants don't even though the Giants are are higher right that's that's you know what Minnesota can offer so um you know it comes you do that if you're the Cardinals just out of curiosity would you go down to 11 and 23 yeah and I think then you go back up if you really want Marvin Harrison Jr although you might lose him to the Chargers you know what I mean so yeah I think you just live with what receiver you could get at that point but yeah anyway um okay uh six and a half the win total for the Giants I'm GNA go over because I think um maybe I'll instantly regret that uh I think that I was trying to like build the case to optimism in my head I think if you get a rookie quarterback who can make a Le and then offensive line will be more stable than it's been in a bit um man I really thought it in my head uh it sounded better actually I'm gonna go um that's tough what do you think I'm gonna go over because they won six games last year yeah and and had some had some things I I would say they regressed to the other side of the spectrum kind of really bad injury luck in terms of down to their third string quarterback so they went from one end in 2022 where everything really worked out and they were 97 and one to the other end and even with a lot of things working against them and a quarterback who is or a set of quarterbacks who couldn't exactly be like spare me the you know Tommy Deo stuff I mean they still w six games so I'm I mean if Dallas regresses and a lot of people think that they will myself St included I recognize I took the over here and I can't just take the over on everybody but I might but if Dallas does regress those wins have or those games have to go somewhere you know what I'm saying like um the water will find a way and it might find a way to six and a half is really low for an NFL team I mean over like it's it's hard to win fewer than six games in the NFL in fact uh so fewer than six there were only two three five teams in the NFL that won fewer than six games and and you know the Chargers lost Justin Herbert you know you can kind of explain that away in that sense the Panthers were the Panthers um and the Patriots were the I mean so you either had a massive injury or you're like really really really bad in a way that the Giants aren't bad so that's why I'm willing to Le over here uh it's kind of funny though because it's like who's their quarterback I I don't know maybe Daniel Jones well I I do think that Brian D proved he can coach a little bit you know I know we were a little on the fence after that first season but I'm not saying I really believe in Brian dable but I definitely believe in him to a certain degree so I'll take the over um I think they have a big draft I think sorry that's my case for optimism because um I do think that uh like they can the receiver class is good they get that if they obviously if they nail the quarterback pick a gigantic if but if they do that I think they could have here's my take on the Giants I think they could have success faster than people think because I think they could be in a spot where they get the quarterback and they get that receiver and they kind of have like a cute Houston Texans thing going on the biggest non-quarterback need for the commanders because again that's really obvious is what I can go first here so um I'm going to go edge rusher I mean just because they they got they got of theirs and um and they did so obviously understanding the quote unquote consequences um The montz Sweat thing has really worked out for the Bears and I think you ow Chicago a bit of an apology but whatever um the chase young thing I think I think ripped that trade I think you did you and you ripped the contract and again Chicago had the room like I don't have a problem with teams that are in the position that Chicago is in and even Washington now I don't have a problem with them overpaying dudes because the contract exactly like like overpay all you want because you have the ability to do so so and good for Mont sweat that he was the beneficiary of that so the commanders got out while they could they got obviously some compensation for him they weren't going to give him that contract even though they were going to be in the same exact position from aart a rookie quarterback contract standpoint also um as Brandon checks on the Phillies um the Sixers actually it's at end of the game here uh by the way the Spurs are up three on the Nuggets without Devon vasel Kellin Johnson and Jeremy Sohan so you know shout out to wimy but anyway um I think a lot of people care he's incredibly popular all around the world so I think more people probably care than about Joelle who got owned by speaking of the Nuggets joic yic was real how many points did Joel drop on W again was it 70 okay anyway uh I think it was 71 to be literal and accurate anyway um the chase Young trade worked out for the commanders I think like they look really smart on that so Edge rusher but I mean again quarterback kind of steals the show but assuming they land that pick you know which is not easy to do but not really hard when you're second overall if they walk away with a couple of edge rushers here and they don't have to be premium premium premium picks but they do have to obviously start restocking the cover a little bit there Sixers one big wi over the Thunder uh yeah I think that's an obvious one you look at their depth chart just like a lot of guys there right now right well and they did sign dorren Armstrong in free agency yeah like him Fowler uh Cleveland Ferell you know obviously with the San Francisco connection there uh in their new GM so kind of just like guys that's kind of the the Commander's roster as a whole to me just like a lot of people not necessarily stars and I think that's honestly like my biggest need for them is uh you know besides quarterback is like more star power who do they have that's super dominant at their position that you feel like is one of the best players in the league at their position obviously you would probably argue you know one would argue that uh Terry McClaren is the closest thing to that I would say uh if you really like John Allen or Don Payne sure they're in the conversation and I think they're they're they're certainly the conversation for best interior duo in the NFL they are but what are their ages by the way John Allen turns 30 this year so or turned no he turned 29 in January so he's 29 and then uh Dr Payne I'm sure has been around for a little bit too 25 26 be his age 27 season so yeah I mean they're fine not like you're seing to replace them but uh when you look at this roster I think they just need more star power in general and you know we they're going to draft a quarterback although in the bleeding green Nation Community mock draft someone went rogue kind of and had them just take Marvin Harrison because they didn't they don't like any of the quarterbacks so uh there's a scenario where I mean I think I've seen that cement cement that's when you cement a sentiment I would buy that I would buy that more if they'd been the team to sign Russell Wilson some something like that you know what I mean like if that precursor going to happen as we talked about too even just from like a aesthetic standpoint like this is the time to Market a new quarterback this is not the time to this team that's had this like this longsuffering fan base it's not the right time to be like you know what we're going to do actually we're going to kick the can down the road even further I don't think the fan base is going to stand for that I think you have a chance number two to get a quarterback you don't know if you're going to be in this position again and it makes all the sense in the world to get the guy that you think you really believe in and uh what they do outside of that I think it's more of just getting a star regardless of position how appropriate by the way that the Sixers won when we started talking about this team Josh Harris is just happy in a bunch of different ways right now so good for him good for you um okay star power is the thing uh six and a half is the win total for the commanders uh I so this is file this I was well I'm going to kind of ride the fence a little bit one of New York how over under Works no no no I was going to say one of New York the push you could they could win six games and have a tie one of New Yorker or Washington will firmly hit their over you know what I'm saying like one of these teams is going to arrive a bit you know by by say a number by like you know by three or more okay by three yeah one of the one of these two teams will I feel confident and some some of that oh a lot of it depends on the quarterback that Washington takes presuming that does happen and whether or not New York's able to be that team that convinces Arizona to trade with them or whatever I mean so I feel especially if Dallas does suffer the regression that a lot of people expect now if that doesn't happen again like a million different things can happen but I feel confident that because it's it's possible that the Eagles regress a bit too right like I mean you talk about the nick serani of it all the Mike McCarthy of it all right like it's it like if if I came back from the future to go back to time jumping around here and I was like blg dude neither Dallas nor Philly won the NFC east in 2024 you you would not be shocked you would be like well that's a little surprising but like that I could totally close my eyes and see that happening be pretty surprised which team do you think it would be I'm more inclined to believe that it's Washington I I mean honestly because they've they've been more aggressive and they brought in more talent and they have more offensive Talent right now and ra the floor there right and if and and they've made life or they're going to make life seemingly easy for their rookie quarterback um I don't really trust Cliff Kingsbury a lot but high high ceiling not really you know super low floor but also super high ceiling you know what I mean like if it hits it hits and I was ready for the C was to move on from Dan Quinn and so if he has success it will look like egg on my face even though I feel like my points were very valid but I do put stock into him as the leader of men and culture Builder Etc I know Ron Rivera had those qualities but Dan Quinn has had them in much larger Spades as of late so like I could see you know the attitude the environment all that kind of working in their favor and if there is regression within the division it will offer them the opportunity to really benefit from it plus we talk about first place schedules all the time they get a last place schedule and the benefits of that they get to play Chicago they get to play um well obviously they play Carolina because they the division plays the NFC West they get to play Arizona they get to play uh the Titans that's the AFC South draw they have like that could be the difference for them you know that could be the three games that we're talking about here pushing them over by by the the metric you threw out I think the danger is the the floor could be really low from a standpoint of like rookie quarterback floor is pretty low you know what I mean like the worst case scenario of the rookie quarterback is you could be like really like we just saw the Panthers basically last I know that's more of an extreme side but the point is like if the guy just can't play and you really mess it up like and like Marcus marota is not saving your season like just there's not a lot there whereas Daniel Jones is obviously not great but he's been on some teams Giants teams before that have been like you know bad but not like number one pick kind of bad like they win six games or whatever so right right now who are you more afraid of from an eagle standpoint Daniel Jones or jayen Daniels because that's who you think Washington's taking who are you more afraid of yeah I'm I'm going to go with the upside J Jen Daniels for sure but I also think his floor is lower name the player on the Giants that presents upside it's Brian Burns right like Ander yeah like and maybe there's a domino effect there right like maybe they just develop this insane like pass rush because of of that trade maybe it's a Hassan reic sort of effect you know the way the Eagles had but we can name a lot of players on Washington that could provide that in different elements and so especially at the most important one the quarterback position so I'll take Washington surprised didn't didn't say Kon Tibido your boy anyway uh we need to get somebody on to talk Washington yeah we'll um need to get both guests on honestly we should do that for the draft we should really that's the first time we kind of did that or at least with Ed we had Ed on the first I like the second mix second or third mixtape episode ever Let's uh start planning on that and um let's get some songs and get out of here um wow so raelle submitted her song first she is going with a newbie Most Wanted by beond and Miley Cyrus an excellent choice by Rael I was a little surprised that Rachel didn't go with the cowboy Carter song I haven't been able to listen yet but um she will at some point I'm very confident um so I did something I've never done before and I don't I guess you didn't see this I actually picked my song so far ahead of time that I added because I controll the playlist I added it to the playlist on Monday that's that's when I can't do that that's not how it works that's not canon just be doing this I did it cuz I knew I was going to pick it I was in complet it spoiling the episode people going even listen to the episode at all now hear me out because I wanted to do it on April Fool's Day because I went with the song Love Fool by The Cardigans yeah again it wouldn't have felt cool to do it you know even my story about the real world didn't you really pranked the listeners that exactly I pranked you so love full by The Cardigans is my choice uh I don't think I know that song I'm gonna go with love me love me well don't don't get DC dmca uh I'm G to go with after hours by we are scientist I think a big like like LS kind of song in band and actually they have some other good songs too so check them out we are scientist the song is after hours officially on the playlist as is RA I'm I'm working on it right now you did nail the episode number by the way it is 158 well I made the graphic so I mean it was somewhere in the back of you know the recesses on my mind so I kind of kind of funny you don't put the mixtape episode in the top left of the screen here where it says mixtape 42 uh sometimes sometimes I do but when I was doing that I couldn't remember in that moment but then it was a little bit till you got here so I had some time to think uh as we time look it up as we leave Brandon I would like you to tell us if you could only hang out with one of Bryce Harper Joel embiid and Dev and Devonte Smith and the activity that you were going to be doing was your 20 Taco challenge but the challenge specifically with eating it in 20 minutes or less no the five minutes five minutes sorry five minute challenge who would you do it with and why that's tough by the way like just I was trying to do the math on that because I'm not good at math it's like one every 15 seconds like that's that's not a lot of time to eat a taco they're they're small tacos obviously two biters right yeah but still like I don't know I like just chew my food more too I'm not I want to chew it well I'm not just trying to like Chomp and and swallow the them instantly um but Joel beid have you seen his hot ones episode before no I didn't know he had a hot ones episode yeah you should you should watch that I think it's I think and regardless if you like the Sixers or not I think people would like it um he's an interesting guy and he also spoiler just crushes those wings I know that's not the same kind of thing that's spice versus volume but he's bigger he's 72 he's huge I'm sure he could eat 20 I fast probably I recently watched the John Oliver hot ones episode and it might be my favorite one of all time I don't know seen it it's somewhat new um I want to say it's like within the last few months or a few weeks um so it was really really really really really funny why was it oh just because it was funny yeah like he was really funny and he um I mean like if you watch a lot of these things like oh no this is super hot and it's burning my mouth like that isn't funny anymore you know what I mean um so but he he he's also insanely clever and so you know he's he's much more capable than I think your average participant of Des describing what's happening in an Eclectic and and creative way and he did that so oh watch it maybe right after we get done with this I have all the sauces from last season of my fridge so maybe I can say the word fridge and then we leave fridge and then we leave
