00:00So Clay, you had an interesting tweet yesterday in regard to, we all here in Chicago as you
00:06know have talked about the Bears targeting Trey Smith in free agency.
00:10Well now maybe they want to keep him and if they do, you offered a pretty good alternative
00:14in Makai Becton who is the Eagles guard as well.
00:17What's the likelihood that he is going to hit the market before the Eagles lock him
00:21up and how would you compare the two guys at that guard position?
00:27Man, Trey Smith, I was high on him during the regular season but you look at him in
00:31the playoffs, the division round, he gave up five pressures, didn't have a good game,
00:35the conference championship, did not have a good game and then obviously the Super Bowl
00:39gave up a sack, a couple of hurries and three pressures.
00:43He just did not play well in the playoffs and he was just getting out physical and that's
00:48not what I want to see.
00:50He's a big, he's an athletic guy and I think he could fit Ben Johnson's system but I look
00:54at Makai Becton.
00:55This guy is 6'6", 350 pounds and he can move.
00:59Obviously he's got this connotation because he was a bust in New York but when they moved
01:05him into guard, which changes a lot of things, the guy is a top-level guard.
01:10I don't think it's, I think it's tit-for-tat with him and Trey Smith.
01:15I think Trey Smith is going to garner all the attention when you can get Becton a little
01:20bit under the radar because the Eagles do got some players they got to bring back.
01:24Zach Bond made one and a half million dollars this year.
01:27David, you make more than that on the score.
01:29You know what I mean?
01:30They have to pay him.
01:31He could have been a defensive player of the year.
01:34So there's some pieces they got to get back.
01:37I don't know if they're able to bring Becton back, Bond back, Josh Sweat back, Milton Williams
01:43who to me is one of the most underrated interior defenders in the league.
01:46The guy's great against the run and pass.
01:49He would be a guy I'd be interested in.
01:50So they got a lot of pieces to try to fill there and I think Becton's going to be one
01:54of them that they let slip through the hole there because they got Jeff Stoutland University
02:00and they trust that Stoutland can develop whoever they can.
02:03They got Landon Dickerson, a draft pick there, so I think Becton reaches free agency because
02:08of Landon Dickerson and Jeff Stoutland.
02:10They trust him to develop whoever.
