Ah yes it is another edition of overreaction Monday but the first we’ve ever done without games being played it’s the scouting combine edition of overreaction Monday Rich Eisen along with Chris Brockman good to see you sir how are you how’s it going how was Indie it was it was great looked awesome it

Was great I will say this was phenomenal I know they’ve already announced that the combine is in Indianapolis next year but it seems to be going on a year-to-year basis because the league is trying to figure out do they want to take it on the road like it’s the draft

I say no I say no too yeah keep it there uh I I understand the League’s um thought process and I know personally the uh commissioner does not like to let grass grow underneath something just because it’s the way it’s always been done right like Roger Goodell always

Since he took over the commissionership all those many moons ago put everything up for grabs in terms of being reimagined or rethought recast how however honestly he he’s always up for trying to see if anything can be improved or changed that the the idea of like well this way it’s

Always been done is immediately makes him probably want to change something um but that said just the mere convenience of the stadium in proximity to the hotel where the players are in proximity to where other hotels are for everyone to stay there from uh coaches to Scouts to

Media to agents to the proximity uh to restaurants and how you can walk around and it’s a connected City you don’t have to go outside and apparently it’s also a connected City from I didn’t know this until this year that prior to building uh prior to building Lucas Oil

Stadium they connected the stadium fiber optic to the the hospitals in the area oh wow so if somebody takes an MRI in the stadium it immediately goes to the hospitals wow and something can be looked at fast and so I I just would I the the general sense I got from people

Were that if they changed it to go somewhere else there would be less participation for coaches and whatnot I think adding to the fans and creating atmosphere and just more energy in the building I thought that was a great fix I agree it was a great week so that’s my

Longwinded answer to how it was this overreaction Monday as always is brought to you by our friends at game time the fast and easy way to buy tickets for all the sports music comedy and Theater events near you download the game time app create an account use our code

Overreaction and you get $20 off your first purchase are you ready Chris Brockman you got a whole bunch of stuff coming off of the scouting combine free agenes around the corner there’s lots to talk next week hit it hit it that was terrible that was crap that was garbage this place sucks over

Reaction Monday’s Monday all right Christopher what do okay Rich it’s all about the quarterbacks it’s always been about the quarterbacks DJ has four in the top eight I’m gonna say five go in the top 20 this year oh that’s that’s a that’s a given I think that is not an

Overreaction a given yeah the first three quarterbacks may go off the board in the first three picks and if Drake May doesn’t go third overall and suddenly Marvin Harrison Jr’s off the board and then Drake May drops to four and there’s Arizona sitting there does somebody swap spots

With Arizona there do they not take Malik neighbors do they get more picks and keep on dropping down because I would say the Chargers would love to get out of five if they could so that would be a spot and you’d want to Leap Frog in

Front of the Chargers which is my point of saying if it’s not the first three picks it’s definitely the first four or five picks that three goes and then I think JJ McCarthy gets pushed up into the top 10 by somebody at 11 12 or 13 Minnesota Denver Raiders popping back in

Because it’s not too far to go at seven for the Titans might want to trade out eight the Falcons may just take McCarthy or penx I think top 20 five quarterbacks going that is not an overreaction right now even though there’s a ton of receivers T now yes I I I think after

What he did over the weekend I think it’s not just what he did over the weekend I just think that there’s no doubt in my mind quarterbacks get pushed up that they get pushed up especially the closer we get to the draft right and and then the fascinating one would be if

The Steelers stand Pat on picket and stand Pat on picket by also just bringing Mason Rudolph back and they’re sitting there at 20 and penck is sitting out there do the Steelers make me a profit or they just make me silly for saying this is not an overreaction right now I don’t

Have it but I saw a mock that had penic to the Seattle Seahawks what number are they that’s again I don’t know but I was like oh okay I would uh I’d profer to say that uh this is not an overreaction okay I’m I’m kind of shocked to hear you say

You thought you’d start with me calling something in over reaction did I did actually okay no maybe in a couple maybe in a month I’ll have six in the first round we’ll see how that goes well I’ve got the draft order right here uh for the National Football League Draft and

The Seattle Seahawks are drafting 16 okay so you just basically said right there you saw a that’s what I saw on Monday okay all right let’s uh new New Orleans 14 also I mean they might be looking at you know post Eric Carr I don’t think that’s an overreaction what

Else you got over there uh the story of the weekend at the combine Xavier worthy Rich that was incredible what a moment 421 he has a lock to go in the first round now after setting the combine record I don’t think so I don’t think so

Lock in the first round I I that’s an overreaction there Chiefs at 32 why not because um I would take say lad mcon to go to the Chiefs over Xavier worthy he had a good combine yeah he did you know like if the Chiefs are looking for a wide receiver it’s funny

Daniel Jeremiah was saying during the broadcast and you’ll hear him on Tuesday’s edition of our show Flagship show yeah um that uh the the Chiefs are now in the realm of the Patriots of back back in the day everyone’s just like oh God that guy looks like a patriot that guy is the

Last guy that you want to go to the Patriots cuz he’s going to go kill it Chiefs are now in that position absolutely and and lad makoni being 32 overall and being the guy that can go and now with rashed rice and Kelsey and what we expect to be maybe his final

Year that’s the way you go to work uh unless some left tackles are available yeah and that’s my point as well to try and answer this question is that there are so many talented tackles there are so many talented wide receivers that I don’t even think Xavier worthy despite

How fast he is he’s going to beat out a bunch of guys um that are top 32 for sure then you’ve got those tackles and those receivers and the quarterbacks that we’re choosing that uh then you’ve got about three corners I I’d imagine two if not three

Front seven guys yeah I I don’t think Xavier Worthy’s going to be a a first round draft choice just because he ran a 4-21 he may he’s on now that’s for sure I know that but I’ll I’ll call this an overreaction all right uh let’s stick to wide receivers Rich Marvin Harrison

Famously did not work out didn’t even show no showed for his interview portion he’s not going to be the first wide receiver taken in Detroit so who would be romad dunay over him I gotta say he uh kind of showed out over the weekend right I know he did would it be

Neighbors who neighbors but we’ll see his pro day coming up this listen uh I I was told Harrison Jr uh did everything he needed to do with the meetings Okay um he met with the teams that wanted to meet with him and that he was just um he

Was just so good on the field that he asked everybody in the meetings room like do I need to do anything else here for you and they essentially all said to him no do we know what teams he met with I don’t know which teams he met with but apparently he

Showed up he did what he needed to do in terms of the meetings rooms and asked everybody what else do you need to see from me is there anything else I need to do and that’s why he did his workout wait and Reps with the defensive lineman

Who did it first so he I think had it pegged to just get out of Dodge as soon as he was done with the meeting rooms and just this is the way it’s going to go now man you know I I totally agree with Mike Florio our friend from pro football talk

He put out a a post he wrote a post to say that he thinks one day we’re we’re nearing the point where a player will just say I’m not going to the combine which is going to be I think um an annoyance yeah um this player really

Better be the Shire first overall pick of the draft if he chooses to take that approach but do you really think the New England Patriots if they want to take him because they’ve already gotten the quarterback position filled through free agency that they wouldn’t take him third overall because he decided to

Leave and there was some miscommunication apparently with the combine that they didn’t know he had left already and held his Podium to say he’s coming it wouldn’t dissuade me from taking him but that’s the point I’m not running running a team or you know in charge of personnel Marvin Harrison Senior wasn’t

The biggest talker right so kind of maybe pass down his son I I I would be really stunned although Roma dun was really good and really terrific and a bigger faster Devonte Adams and kind of well I mean kind of did the opposite of what how Marvin Harrison handled the

Combine where he spoke uh he was engaging with everybody and then he wouldn’t leave and he he he just would not stop running he did the three cone drill when everyone was gone he kept clipping the one cone right right and and I saw video DJ showed me Daniel

Jeremiah of the final drill one of the final runs at the the three cone drill that he did the um he had there’s a shot of the timers that were there that were so surprised by the numbers that they saw on the stopwatch that even though he

Did do the the drill without touching the cones they made him do it one more time cuz they thought there was a malfunction that’s how good he is but I don’t think it’s still going to prevent Marvin Harrison from hearing his name first in the wide receiver

Class he’s going to have a real short night in Detroit he doesn’t last past four right he doesn’t last past three pal oh I I don’t well wait a minute pass four because the Patriots have have traded down or the patri quarterback or they trade down or I mean Arizona will

Make him first off the board if it’s quarterbacks in a row right they’ll take Marvin Harris Jr and introduced him to Kyler Murray and oh by the way I saw him at the uh yeah at the combine and yeah we had a nice chat okay I told him

Congratulations I told him I said I said you had a good season to Jonathan Ganon he goes we only won four games I’m like yeah but you were in every single game expectations were zero he had the same approach as we have had talking about

Him you tell him he was solid hey I did tell he was solid I didn’t tell him there were fireworks in our conversation okay great well done thank you uh I think this is kind of spicy Rich speaking of romad dun if the Bears yes take Caleb and Rome yes they’re gonna

Have a top five quarterback wide receiver Trio this year um man it really does depend on how fast Caleb Gets it that there’s going to be some one would think um I think he’s going to be awesome some some form of getting used to it unless you you really think he

Comes out like cam like first game 300 yards it’s possible I think it’s really possible cuz I mean Patrick Mahomes first few starts in the NFL in his first full season of being the uh quarterback 50 touchdowns that year dude he was insane yeah he had a six touchdown game

I think at one point I it’s gonna be possible that Cale is just unbelievable Caleb adun and DJ Moore yep now I’m talking is a significant Trio and of course you’ll also have a run game that we imagine will be improved uh and then Cole K Cole K

Coming on last year that’s why the Bears fans should be so jacked up and I I that was my number one rumor I heard at the combine is this thing’s toast that as much as Jaden Daniels had a better final year MH than Caleb did and they’re both

Heisman Trophy winners that the Bears are still taking the Heisman Trophy winner from two years ago over the reigning Heisman Trophy winner I think that thing’s done I think it is and so I don’t think that’s a top five Trio top five so quarterback wide receiver okay Kel doesn’t count there so

A wide receiver wide receiver two wide receivers quarterback I think twoa Wad and Tyreek are still okay top right okay I agree I’m assuming Burrows back healthy and we’ve got Jamar Chase and has been franchised as the as a part of this conversation he might get traded

But that you have to include that there sure um Eagles Eagles Herz and AJ Brown and Devon Smith and Devonte Smith y um we don’t know about cousins and who else is going to be there with Justin Jefferson no I mean Addison obviously but n ners you want to put pie and Debo

And Debo and in there I mean they’re in the conversation right or dude Stafford cup and Thea is top five okay I hear you that’s top five right I you that’s nice so we’re sounding it out and this makes me think this is more of an overreaction is now

My first reaction was you got you’re on to something here but now that I’m sounding it out dude now we’re sounding it out we’re just talking I mean what about uh I mean Stroud Nico and tankel they’re in the conversation you have to based on what we just saw this

Year from from that group Odell Z and Lamar Odell I don’t think he’s going to be back in Baltimore I’m already hearing that okay um so I don’t know who they’re going to add but uh but by the way Stafford cup and Thea is top five great

PLL all right so I’ll call this an overreaction now that that was like a Who Wants To Be A Millionaire answer I sounded it out reg just my final answer is overreaction ah it’s going to be nice game time tickets get the app and put it

He’s gonna be somewhere else other than Minnesota in 2024 we had Kevin oconnell in the booth during our combine coverage okay we had him sit there with Daniel Jeremiah and yours truly and the day before he was coming around making the rounds and um said it was funny he goes

You get one Kirk Cousins question like pre pre wow you get one I’m like well what if the over under is one and a half because maybe get a push because I might need I might need I might need a follow up but ion I won’t be all in on

Following up I’m not going to grill you I said what if it’s one and a half and you take the under and he goes okay okay it’s kind of like a curb moment like he agreed to those terms okay so um so I asked him like

What what uh is the status between you and Kirk Cousins and his answer was quite fascinating where he said Kirk’s a processed guy so he knows he’s going to go through the process of being a free agent and he hopes that you know that at the end of the day they’ll figure all

Something out and he comes back that he didn’t say that those words but the indication was the indication was there’s ways of looking at it one that he’s sharing that he’s a processed guy that he’s going to hit free agency to kind of prep the Vikings fans that he’s

Going to hit free agency okay two is that they’re not going to franchise tag him although they might not have been able to anyway three all right the other indication to me is he’s kind of setting it up that if we don’t sign him not my fault or

For this is his way of saying he’s not coming back I don’t know what it is I honestly don’t know what it is this is kind of one of the sneaky big storylines as we get ready for free going to want to pay4 to $50 million for

A quarterback a team that thinks that they can win right now well take a look at them I mean uh the Falcons appear to be that team right I think they think that they can win right now and they also didn’t want to spend that sort of money on a

Quarterback which is why they didn’t want to go for Lamar and to give up two firsts as well as sign a contract that the Ravens might just match so it’s a different sort of free agency but the the money is there I mean the slot is there one would think because they don’t

Already have somebody that’s insanely expensive um the Raiders have moved on from Jimmy G Jimmy G getting popped that’s a spot for for uh for what Peds or whatever helped the save the Raiders some money but we’re not really talking about Kurt Cousins for that team nobody

Is I mean I think Ian Rapaport on Monday’s show even called that unlikely yeah I don’t think the Steelers are are are going to do that I mean New England has the cap space but that’s an older guy and they’re not ready for they’re not ready to win with’s not going to

Make the playoffs next year so it makes sense for him to return but there is a there is a sense where I I I I don’t I think he’s going back there I think he’s going back there for a HomeTown discount or I don’t know but I can’t call this an overreaction I

Can’t say that you’re out of your mind so I I’ll I’ll call that just because again the fact that I heard he’s hitting free agency is what C is at least that’s what Kevin oconnell said uh on the weekend be two weekends before this actually happens window yeah what else

Okay we’re gonna we’ve talked about this a lot we had some phone calls on the Monday show about it I think the Steelers would be insane to run it back with Piet and Rudolph this year that is insane but what are the Alternatives there’s lots give them to me Justin

Fields I like that one Russell Wilson Kirk Cousins the draft there there’s six guys who have first round ability well their 20th overall right so they are in P bonick what if they want another receiver what if one of these studly receivers are sitting out there I mean

The Steelers could really add another nice new weapon and but but the issue is I think getting the weapon the ball really like Kenny picket and feel like because they they’ve won with gritty guys before I know he’s not Big Ben but he’s a pittsbur B guy they love his work

Ethic they love everything about him man for real so I kind of I I guess it’s not for me to get but I don’t get it well here’s why okay is and I understand it we just saw again what you need to have who you need

To have to win it all in this league we’ve seen it yeah okay we’ve seen it three the last four years right but you’ve now also seen somebody with some significant Moxy heart guts heads ability to run pass in Brock pie surrounded with the right people and the

Right system you can win a Super Bowl with Brock pie we just saw that Brock pie took a lead in overtime of a Super Bowl okay so their thoughts are we’ve got Pickins right now Deontay Johnson there’s you know rumor I guess they’re to trade well it’s because they don’t

Want to pay him right and there’s so many talented kids in the draft just get another one well that didn’t work out for the Titans I understand but I think AJ Brown’s a little bit better than than Deontay Johnson sure significantly but I understand your point yeah so this is

The thought process behind the Steelers that all we got to do is surround them with the right people and we’ve already got some good people and Arthur Smith’s the coordinator now let’s go to work with him as opposed to trading a night two pick for Justin

Fields who we will have to hire and make a fifth year option decision on within two months of hiring him and then you’ve got picket on his first contract too and then what are we going to do here you know what I’m saying like cuz picket sitting there

What are you going to have Justin Fields look over his shoulder because the the the favorite son from two years ago is on a rookie contract too yeah don’t I don’t know if the fans are behind picket insane is a tough word it’s a tough word

But I understand why fans are going to be like we we need our own momes and he ain’t it so but what if he’s the py right well py did in his first two years in his first two years pick it has 13 touchdowns but he also didn’t he

Didn’t have mcaffrey or KD or come on now yeah the weon there is really impressive yeah and of course the guys is and the headset is the one calling the plays they finally seem to have gotten that right too that’s their thought process so well I feel like

We’re going to be talking about this I understand it though but I’ll call that an overreaction at the moment all right a couple things we uh we didn’t get to that haven’t been too talked about much all the new rules changes I’m sure you heard a lot about this the onside kick

All the kickoff stuff it was so confusing to me the onside kick should be a fourth in whatever play any other tweak is pointless with you pointless but that’s too much for the league the league thinks that’s a gimmick play fourth and whatever you know what is it fourth and

15 from where fourth and 18 whatever the problem with that is KCK the ball off then why wouldn’t somebody constantly just keep on pass you know interfering with a pass why wouldn’t they just blow somebody up why would you play that straight up well if the defense commits

A penalty then it’s then it’s then it’s an automatic first down you’re GNA really have that happen like you’re going to put it in the vagaries of somebody just grabbing a jersey now suddenly you you’ve lost possession of a football treat it like a haill Mary then which is what you never

Call the penalty never but it has to be insanely egregious but but that’s just one launch into the end zone but what they’re explaining now and all this different like the XFL r or something it was so confusing you had to read it 10 times figure it out it can get explained

A little bit better it can get codified a little bit better I I I I need to I need to read this I do love this idea but every single time we talk about it with Pereira or blandino or or stator or anybody who’s been on our show they’re

Like well where do you place the ball and what happens if there’s a penalty on it you can’t just it can’t just be an automatic first down where suddenly the defense gets a bad call on them or somebody gets you know toasted and they pull on somebody and now now you’ve lost

Possession of the football and your entire game that you’ve been up by two scores in it flips because of one defensive penalty why don’t we just try it for a year and see what happens but what’s the it again where do you put it

Where do you want to put it put it with the kickoff put it at the 30 the 30 so your first Down’s on the 45 yard line 48 or whatever it’s a fourth and 18 play or something let’s just try it and then the it is what what if there’s a penalty on

It let’s just see how many times it happens well I mean I guess it would would be I’d rather instead of it being a fresh set of downs it’s a 5 yard penalty or 10 yard or a 10 yard penalty or if it’s you know if it’s a holding

It’s not an automatic first down now it’s Fourth and 13 what if it’s pass interference though five yards fourth and third you got to complete the pass but that’s what I’m saying is that anybody that goes past the 18 yards so then you get you you’re giving a free reign to the

Defense to just keep on messing with your receiver and blowing them up like I’d I’d rather just keep on hitting somebody I guess my point is the onside kick used to be something that was super exciting and it actually happened they end and now it’s down to like 2% well

What they ended up doing is they came up with a rule for kickoffs about having a certain number of people on either side of the kicker right to try and make it safer and now this play is become it’s been it’s been totally destroyed because

Of it so let’s come up with a better way for the onside kick to work but let me I need I need read the I’ll just push back and call this an overreaction I do love that I do love the idea like fourth and 18 but you’ve

Got to figure out the the problem of what happen like the defense cannot be given free reign to just blast a receiver and also the one of the things was you have to announce that you’re doing it so that eliminates the surprise on psychi like what I know I know uh on

The Pro Football Talk post of that they had the moment at the top of the second half of the Super Bowl between the Saints and the colt that was the picture yeah so I’m with you on that front too but I’ll call that an overreaction until

We can figure out how the defense can be held to account so they don’t have to continuously um be allowed to grab and Pull and then the off and and thus the defense though isn’t now subject to one penalty flips their entire Fortune of a game that they’ve been dominating I got

To figure that out and I place it I think that’s too gimmicky for a lot of old school owners so let’s hear what the the other the other idea is hopefully they can come up with something all right last one and maybe you heard some more about this over the weekend I’d be

I’d be curious your thoughts there sure it’d be a mistake to add an 18th game to the regular season schedule here’s what I think needs to be done because I think it is inevitable I i’ I’ve heard it over and over and over and over again you’ve

Heard it from fans over and over and over again boy would it be great to have a national holiday the day after the Super Bowl and thus pushing the season another week into the future or you could just have superow on Saturday no it would in fact have a

President’s Day week in the Super Bowl every year the NBA wouldn’t like having the 18th yeah but the 18th game would eventually shove the season deep enough where the Super Bowl is on President’s Day weekend every year now the issue with that is everything else would have

To be pushed back you’re already hearing some complaints at the combine of how quickly the combine happens and how fast the new league year comes around after that does true um but um I understand player safety issues are significant here the one thing that I also heard

From a coach at the combine that is of interest is what’s with the inactives what’s what’s with the making you cut your roster down on Game Day by announcing people as inactive why can’t everybody be active yeah why do because it’s eight guys it’s 53 to 45 why don’t you

Add more players I mean it’s more of a of a salary that you’re paying well game day bonus but why don’t have it like college where it’s just like 80 people are up on a Sunday 70 people are up on a Sunday yeah well you’re having 53 plus your practice

Squ every get everybody’s up what’s are the practice practice squads up you’re not elevating anybody from your practice squad and you’re not deactivating somebody who’s been practicing all all week like what gives like why not like what what what’s the big deal like why are you making that’s interesting yeah

People inactive so I heard that okay so maybe the give and take because coaches are also flipping out in the fact that the give from the league in the last collective bargaining agreement to the players um and I’m sure some players are like we shouldn’t have just given it up

Because there’s a lot of money at stake here is the practice schedule right there’s a bunch of coaches that want to get their hands on players right now and get a new playbook in their hands and they can’t until the offseason workout program happens in the middle of April I

Pushed back and told the uh the coach who was talking to me about this I’m like well I just remember when stuff happened when at the very beginning of NFL Network everything that was supposedly voluntary for a player was considered mandatory by the coach and that got out of hand right where

Suddenly well you’re not here in early March well you’re not here for the team wait a minute I can’t I can’t have you you know in in tell you you need to be at the facility and late late February hey this this OTA that’s voluntary you’re not here well guess what we’re

Going to consider this mandatory even though it’s technically voluntary got out of hand so they had to actually put some guard rails up so when you say I’m making a mistake to add an 18th regular season game to the schedule um I understand you’re talking about player safety you’re also talking about looting

A product I’m also talking about load management what’s going to stop guys from just sitting out week 15 16 17 18 like if you’re already have your playoff spot locked up why would Patrick Mahomes play in the last three weeks no and I I I understand that because you also need

To get um a rhythm going I mean how many of those top seeds that sat off sat out you know it it took them it took the Ravens and the and the uh ners um a bit to get started their divisional playoff victory and the Niners had to pull that one out

Of the fire the Ravens just like got all fired up at halftime and just destroyed the Texans I guess but that’s why I’m saying like if you do it why not get more jobs and just keep people up you know what I mean what do what’s with the

Five inactives that’s what the coach is saying like what are we doing why can’t we have him active I think I think so so I I’ll push back and call that an overreaction but you’ll have to do it in conjunction with some other moves like make more players available when is it

Coming give give me a give me a year oh I don’t know next next Collective bargain agreement when the H that that is so four or five years something like probably whatever how I don’t know how much is left but but I think it is inevitable uh that’s it for this edition

Of overreaction Monday we are back next week on a Wednesday because the new league year begins on the Wednesday that we’re going to be broadcasting uh coming to you with another podcast but that’ll be after the 2day window where everybody’s already talking tampering call now it’s apparently not

Tampering you know you’re you’re legally able to start talking dollars and cents with people who are not franchise Tech who are free agents so by the next time we’re going to be talking in this microphone we’ll know who’s pretty much going where and it’ll just become official when the new league year hits
