00:00i'll be honest i haven't even checked brain and i use social media lately i'm sure there's stuff
00:05on there and i kind of don't care um if it was stuff on it it'd be out what i
00:10care more about
00:11is the stefan diggs conversation it's a guy that went for a thousand yards last year on a team that
00:16went to the super bowl um and what he's been doing is just posting videos of workouts which
00:25i think is brian i've never been an nfl player but if i was a veteran free agent in the
00:30middle
00:30of summer i think posting videos of workouts is a far more effective means to get garner interest
00:37yeah than posting other videos yep posting other videos and then starting to attack people that
00:41can help you yeah yeah um much sense steph diggs came out i don't know exactly it's hard to know
00:48timelines of things in the social media universe but recently i think it's fair to say and said
00:53he believes he's the best number two receiver in the nfl and i think you can make a claim on
01:02that
01:02i don't think it's that crazy i think there's some teams where like i think the delineation we have
01:11to make if steph diggs is the best number two receiver in the nfl like in cincinnati they have
01:19t higgins and jamar chase are those just two ones in la they have davante adams and puka nakua is
01:24that
01:24just two ones in seattle they have jackson smith and jigma and cooper cup is that just two ones but
01:30like i think we're getting too far down overall what's that i don't think cooper cup better than
01:34steph overall okay that's fine but you see what i'm saying like i there are teams that are extra
01:40loaded like dallas has cd and pickings like but i think to diggs's point where he's not talking about
01:50teams that maybe have a one and a 1a but if teams that clearly just have like the alpha and
01:55then the
01:55next guy i think he'd be in that conversation right yeah i don't know that he has like the
02:02the verticality he wants did but he can route you up and he's got great hands always has always will
02:07um so it's interesting as washington sits here and plenty of people think they don't have enough
02:16at the number two wide receiver position and jeremy fowler of espn who's been putting together all
02:22these lists and and having all these conversations with the people that vote that are coaches and
02:27scouts and execs and all that jeremy fowler talking about diggs's market on espn i'm hearing he's gonna
02:34have a market closer to training camp i was told that at least five teams that need a wide receiver
02:38have been checking in now they got to deal with some of the baggage and the headlines they are what
02:43they are but here's why stephan diggs i'm told is confident he had a thousand plus yards last year
02:47really playing on a snap count of around 55 percent of the snaps coming off an acl he feels he's
02:53going
02:53to be better this time around i'm looking to the dmd lawyer that's where he's from commander certainly
02:59i think they're looking for more of like a speed option at this point we'll see
03:06interesting like dmv we should is thursday the day with absolutely zero sports i think thursday we
03:13have our dmv conversation i think these maps have got people going i think to the espn connecticut
03:21national television audience they think baltimore is part of the dmv when it very much isn't and they
03:26they also they don't want to be like that's a separate entity and altogether we don't want them
03:30to be but i do think when they talk about steph around here there's they're insinuating both
03:34washington and baltimore i think the digs thing will ultimately be about cash and i think peters
03:42adam peters commander general manager kind of put his back against the wall a little bit with how he
03:46handled terry last year and now you're talking about digs as a 33 year old receiver like how much
03:51you're going to pay for that maybe his market kind of shrinks up as we get closer to camp but
03:57somebody could also get hurt and then his market get hurt and a lot of teams could be looking at
04:02it
04:02the same way like you know we're not going to do a certain amount you and i both know digs
04:06and know
04:07people around that situation and i think you and i both believe he would show up in washington
04:13and be a good player and be just fine in the locker room just like he was in new england
04:17how much if at all do you think the other stuff because there is some stuff with steph
04:22how much do you think that's a factor in all this i don't think it's a factor because the stuff
04:27with
04:27him is far less than stuff with other people you know there's a lot of people been in this league
04:31and played with stuff that was far greater and they still did them went out for them i don't think
04:36that stuff bother i think what you stated earlier is about it's a fact it's a money thing and you
04:40know
04:41what he can want a certain amount for a certain point but when it gets to a point where you
04:45got to
04:45take with what the people are offering i agree with that i i my thing with digs here is i
04:57think
04:57they're looking for outside like if you got true serum and adam peters and he talked which he doesn't
05:02really do i think what they'd really like to have is outside vertical threat and i think that's why
05:09the iuk thing made so much sense before the last whatever six weeks of videos he's still posting
05:1550 minutes ago what is it now he just got some music behind a thing where he's dancing with a
05:20commander's hat on again do you think the iuk doors oh look who's here shout out to ad oh boy
05:30um
05:31do you think the iuk thing is done uh what percentage chance could you give brandon iuk landing let's just
05:38say if we if we were in the middle at first i think we going towards the side of not
05:42not dealing with
05:43it i think it's like in the nfl you never close the door on a talented player and iuk in
05:51his past
05:51has shown talent we don't know what that is or isn't now but i think the odds of iuk landing
05:59in
05:59washington have to be about they've dropped 10 percent they're not like it was at first right
06:05there's a period of time where i think it was like 70 chance of happening it's like the weather
06:10like stuff could change fast man what do you think the chances are of digs landing
06:17i think that one is like you said about money and if nobody else is in it they have a
06:24chance but if
06:24other people are in it then he's not gonna wait around my thing with digs one is gonna be about
06:31cash and would we did this exercise a month ago hey steph would you like to play in washington
06:36yep for the right price hey steph would you like to play in green bay wherever the money is that
06:40yeah and i don't begrudge they agree right digs has now been on vikings bills texans patriots like
06:49he's not gonna he's not gonna hang it up with one team you know what i mean like man go
06:53where the
06:54cash is i'm not there are 32 opportunities every time you're free right unless the one of them that
07:00you left is not uh available anymore even the one that might have let you go they still if they
07:05can
07:05get you back at a lesser price they'll bring you back so i i know fans say what you up
07:10for that
07:10say what you want to say when you lose a job but you don't have a job guess what you
07:15do you send a
07:15resume out you don't tell your headhunter don't send it to this company because they were no you say
07:21whoever's willing to hire me hire me and that's the same damn way athletes are my question with steph
07:28is i'm not sure his game even though he can absolutely line up on the on the outside
07:33like he was a primarily outside receiver for a lot of his career that has kind of shifted inside
07:39especially the last couple seasons in houston before the injury and then in new england
07:42um i just don't know that what they think they need is what steph diggs brings to them but see
07:50this
07:50is the problem i have with that that statement you don't have to have that guy outside if you got
07:57a steph diggs and a chig or conco in the middle eating people alive you got terry on one side
08:01and you got the army still here he can run you can use other guys to now run because the
08:07thing
08:07about it is this who the hell can get open up consistently if steph is getting open consistently
08:14do you feel you have to have a deep threat now because if he's getting open consistently guess
08:19what's happening they're dropping the safety down into the box they're adding people to watch him
08:23whoever has uh outside they got one-on-one matchups now so that gives your team an advantage
08:29i also wonder
08:33we had the i think it was jason lockham for a report two weeks ago last week about deandre hopkins
08:41about interest in hopkins hopkins is 34 to me hopkins is a future hall of famer um 6-1-2
08:48-20
08:49big outside possession guy that can help he's not a vertical threat probably at this point but so if
08:54they would go with a guy like hopkins who's not a vertical threat he's more hopkins as of late is
09:00a bigger guy of what he is now he's a possession receiver now yeah i think keenan allen kind of
09:05is
09:05the same vein at this stage of his career 6-2-2-15 um like i think that makes more
09:14sense for what they
09:15need because if you were talking about the outside guys on this roster with some level of verticality
09:21diami's got it it's just a matter of do we get productive diami or do we get do we get
09:26the mr
09:27january playoff run diami that we that we saw or every other game van jefferson's an outside guy
09:33trade burks is the guy they want to be this guy like their vision is for burks to be healthy
09:38and
09:38productive all season i to me if you're talking veteran wideouts that are still available i think
09:45hopkins or even keenan allen would make more sense than digs but digs has shown an ability
09:50last year to put up way more yardage than those guys the thing i look at you could have once
09:56all
09:57you want yeah but you know what you need you need a chain mover you need somebody that you know
10:05can
10:05get the first down when you need a first down steph does that so whether it was a zaggers that
10:13we
10:13we praised last year or steph digs that could be doing it i think a guy that every other team
10:19knows
10:19is going to cook your third cornerback basically that's your that's normally your nickel guy
10:25he's gonna be working inside he's gonna be open it makes other people try to help him which now your
10:30other guys if they work their money they should be cooking outside then right so it opens up something
10:36that you didn't even know you have already in your uh in your uh coffers that now you get somebody
10:42in
10:43there that could do that it's it's always about trying to find a way to move the ball i agree
10:48you
10:48don't i don't think you have to force the fact of having to have a guy that could just run
10:52down the
10:53field
10:54you
10:54you
10:54you
10:54you
10:54you
10:54you
