00:00All right, let's talk about Tunsell and all the other moves that have been evolving all
00:04day.
00:05It's crazy.
00:06It is.
00:07It's been amazing.
00:08So, Laramie Tunsell, here's why Washington made the trade with the Texans.
00:11Yes, they gave up four draft picks, but they're not giving up a first rounder.
00:15That was key to this trade.
00:16Now, Washington, what was happening, Scott?
00:19They're playing Brandon Coleman, who was a fourth round pick last year.
00:21He was a draft pick last year.
00:24And they knew he was not a left tackle, so I understood it.
00:27Their choices were right tackle to move him to a guard.
00:30More likely guard, but as I'm told, within the last hour, that's not been fully decided.
00:35They'll decide that in their offseason.
00:37But they now have a legit left tackle to protect Daniels, their franchise quarterback.
00:42That's why they did this.
00:43They added Deebo Samuels, since you and I have talked last.
00:46He's more of a gadget receiver.
00:47He's not a deep threat, folks.
00:49That's not what he is.
00:50He's a runner for the catch, get the ball in his hands, he could also play a running
00:53back.
00:55The Washington offensive coordinator is terrific.
00:57He'll get him the football.
00:58I have no doubt about that.
01:00But the Washington still needs speed at receiver.
01:02That's something to watch here, the rest of the free agency at the draft.
01:06All right.
01:07It's crazy, the quarterback situation.
01:10How about fields to the Jets and Darnold ends up with the Seahawks in Seattle?
01:16The Domino's unbelievable.
01:18Let's start with Seattle and trading Gino Smith, Scott.
01:22That one.
01:23Yeah.
01:24And this will be official again.
01:25This will be official to the Raiders, right?
01:27So the Seahawks were trying to get Gino Smith to agree to extension.
01:32When he did not do that, they felt he had no future there.
01:35So the Raiders jumped in.
01:38That trade will be official on Wednesday.
01:41And then the Seahawks, because they had to have a backup plan, they had one backup plan.
01:45That was Sam Darnold.
01:46Yes, Sam Howell is their backup, but Sam Darnold will be that guy for just over 33 million
01:50a season.
01:52Darnold.
01:53Here's why they did it.
01:54It's the same terminology West Coast.
01:56It's the same scheme that he's done very well on it with Kevin O'Connell with the Vikings
02:01last season.
02:02And by the way, it was with Kyle Shanahan where they really learned to hone his skills
02:05in that scheme two years ago with a 49er.
02:07So this makes a lot of sense now.
02:09Gino Smith is reunited, of course, with Pete Carroll.
02:13But here's a side story.
02:15Back in 2013, when Chip Kelly was the head coach of the Eagles, Gino Smith, I'm told,
02:20was his guy out of West Virginia until their pro day where the meeting wasn't great.
02:25The pre-draft meeting with the Eagles brought Jeffrey Lurie, the owner there, Howie Roseman,
02:29members of their front office and coaching staff.
02:31It didn't go great, so they moved off of him.
02:34But Chip's always liked him because he likes having a mobile quarterback with the Raiders.
02:39Gino Smith will fit in very well there.
02:41But the Raiders, by the way, they've got a lot of work to do.
02:43They still don't have a very good roster.
02:45Yeah, I'll believe that when I see it.
02:47I feel like it's been there, done that.
02:51It was either what I had heard, maybe Russ, maybe Gino, he gets Gino.
02:56We've already seen this, haven't we, this story, this movie?
03:00I'm not buying it.
03:02I'll believe it when it's successful and I see it.
03:04I won't deny that people get excited.
03:08Max Crosby got his big fat deal.
03:10But are you buying that, that that's going to work, that Gino Smith's going to carry
03:14the Raiders?
03:16Well, here's the thing.
03:17They are supremely committed to the running game with Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly.
03:21Pete Carroll wants a run game.
03:23That's why Chip Kelly has been brought in.
03:25With Chip Kelly, it starts with a run game.
03:26He wants that mobile quarterback.
03:28He's got that.
03:29But the Raiders have a receiver issue.
03:31Yes, they extended Max Crosby's contract, but that's secondary to everything.
03:37They took care of him and I'm sure he loves that and they love him.
03:40But the bottom line is they need more pass rushers.
03:43They just lost Nate Hobbs, their best quarterback today.
03:46They're still on paper.
03:47They're not going to be very good.
03:49And they don't have a state.
03:50They need to get it started running back.
03:51They need a lot of work.
03:52They've got a new front office.
03:54But Seattle now has got their quarterback and they're going to have him for a couple
03:57seasons here.
03:58And that was the thing that the Seahawks wanted.
04:01They wanted certainty.
04:02They want to go year to year here and they're not going to do that with Sam Darnall.
04:05Listen, I won't deny that that, you know, plug that hole for them.
04:11They got that figured out.
04:14That's where they're going.
04:15I'm fine with that.
