The annual staff-writer search is mentioned only once but usually draws 500 to 1,000 applications. Kyle is editor-in-chief, Kyle and Julia lead the editorial team, every applicant will receive an email, and anyone asking for the forgotten address is jokingly IP-blocked for failing the greatness prerequisite.
A discussion of Dalton Kincaid's chronic injuries revives a line the show explicitly calls a famous thing Jason once said about Christian McCaffrey: 'What is wrong with your body?'
Jason's proud claim that he truthfully reports himself as 5-foot-11 is tested shoes-off with Al and a tape measure. The remembered result settles at 5-foot-10-and-three-eighths; Jason blames shrinking and bad measurement, while a later soundboard miss is mocked as '5-10 button pushing.'
Because KC is built from Kevin Concepcion's initials, the hosts spiral through Casey, KC, and KC Concepcion before comparing the redundant construction with saying 'automatic teller machine machine.'
When Elijah Sarratt's name comes up, an explicitly Mike-credited pun turns a hot performance into 'Sarratt-cha sauce,' followed by the immediate insistence that he has invented it himself.
The Footballers make their annual, deliberately one-time call for new staff writers, warning that the usual 500 to 1,000 applicants will all receive replies. Kyle is identified as editor-in-chief and he and Julia lead the editorial team; applicants should bring their own voice and passion, while anyone who asks for the forgotten address is jokingly IP-blocked for failing the prerequisite of being great. A Dalton Kincaid injury item revives the line Jason once famously aimed at Christian McCaffrey: 'What is wrong with your body?' The centerpiece is a retrospective height fight. Jason had proudly claimed to be a non-rounding 5-foot-11, immediately agreed to remove his shoes, and was measured shoes-off while Al was there with a tape measure; the result was 5-foot-10-and-three-eighths. Jason blames shrinking, bad tape measures, and a moving wall mark; much later, a botched soundboard press is called '5-10 button pushing.' The hosts also turn KC Concepcion into a redundant ATM-machine-style initials loop and explicitly credit Mike with converting Elijah Sarratt into 'Sarratt-cha sauce.'
to drop bonnicks this year because the addition of wattle and stowers with what they had on that offense that seems really excited hey come on guys oh jason yeah yes yes yeah yeah no no no no your first button was correct oh man you were like you showed your 510 and that button pushing oh man i'm out of here five nine and a half Yeah, let's not keep around it. Okay, so back to back with Al right now. So Stowers, that was the best by a tight end at the combine since 2003. 2003? Yeah, a 43 and a half inch version. And yet, Sadiq's going to go ahead of him. I mean, it's going to happen. Also, I mean, because the ceiling for a player without athleticism in Sadiq, you can talk about the production, the ceiling for a player like that, people, they're going to look at that and it's going to be pretty overwhelming.
And Stowers is still learning the position. Like he went to college as a quarterback and then- You know who else switched from quarterback to tight-in? Travis Kelsey. Oh, yeah. So there you have. Who's the quarterback for the Cardinals that switched? Oh, that turned into? Yeah, Logan Thomas. Just too late. If he did it earlier. Seriously, he had a perfectly fine career. As a tight end. As a tight end. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, Stowers is a very impressive player. Yes. I think you're going to have, I mean, I hope we're talking about both guys in terms of fantasy rookie production. I think we welcome all tight ends to the table in terms of contributing on fantasy football teams. So, you know, some of the high-end comps, Mike Gassicki, Evan Ingram.
You know, he's not a blocker right now. Like you said, he's still evolving into the position. That can be an advantage. It can be a disadvantage, right? It just depends on the scheme fit that you find at the NFL level. But if he goes at the end of the first round, you know a team is drafting him, understanding what his strengths are. And you hope, like someone like Sean Hayden puts him into a great position. I mean, if there are teams that need wide receivers. who the draft might just not fall that way. Take the Saints, right? Let's say they don't use the number eight pick overall in the first round on a wide receiver, even though they need one. And most of the other guys that they would get are gone before their second round pick. They've got a high second round pick. If they draft him and don't get another wide receiver, that's like the type of landing spot where you come in and you can be the number two target in an offense. And teams can draft this guy because they were going after a wide receiver.
The other wide, like they might just slot him in amongst their pass catching targets and say he's the fourth best wide receiver. All right. That is going to wrap up today's episode of this show talking wide receivers and tight ends.
