What is up? What is good? How you living? How you feeling? Sims and left go is back in Josh's in the middle.

Showing the girls. Can we do the pod like this today? With my muscles out are you sure you want to do that? Roll them up. That's fine. That's fine. With your skin and bones. I feel like I just don't have a shirt that looks like.

We're not calling you. Is this the podcast we want to do today? We're about to start free agency. We're coming off the combine and we're going to do a podcast on my biceps.

Can you do a flex your try not to any of that? Let's talk about football. I'm not doing any of that. Is there one there? See, and this is why I don't want to do the podcast every week. This is what I just want to do. My freaking job. This is my actual work. No, it's not. This is an extra curricular. This is literally the reason why I put this happens because of you. Thank you. We're talking here because of you. No, no, no, no. You used to annoy me with this fucking podcast. I know. I know. Now we are finally

paying the way. 156. I want to say first and foremost, what are you going to say? Why is he get so embarrassed? Are your future in law still listening to the podcast? Yes, they are. They do. You haven't talked about him in a while. I know. Hello, Josh's future in law. I hope you're well out there. That's amazing. Yes. Sims gets a weird satisfaction of making other people uncomfortable. I know. Yeah. Well, especially if I know I'm comfortable in my relationship with them. Yes, they do. The heat in here right now is also not helping. It is. It is steamy. It's hot. It's

hot. Shit. I want to say that it's been really cool. I know that we've got a lot of new listeners to the podcast. Last week has been great. Your comments about Lamar Jackson. And we are going to do more of that today. We have a new segment called this week in code speak. We find analysts in their way of talking about race, especially Lamar Jackson without actually talking about it, which is going to be great. We have Phil Sims coming up later. Chris is going to dive into some running backs. He's sick, like legitimate. Your pops. Yeah, like he's fucker. He's big fucker. Perfect.

He's going to be super honored or or I mean, he doesn't even know we're calling. I've literally no. So that's right thing because he's sick. We're not called right. So we're no sick days. That's not his work. I hope he answers. If he doesn't answer, then we talked to dirty Diana. I'm excited. And we'll interview her. But it's been cool. Like the social media outreach that we've been getting a lot of great iTunes reviews. You've been killing an olevitard and you have your big reveal coming next week, even though you stole my material. Oh, the R&CA material. That was so funny. Sims goes on levitard and takes my NCA.

R&Ghosts. How do you fix the NCA? He's like, well, why doesn't hammer get hit with institutional control? I'm like, this one. That was good. Well, I mean, so for scoreboard 1000 for left go one versus I'm stealing. It's been. It's been three and a half years of left go using your material. I think it's only fair. That's only fair. Right. Right. Uh, but it's really awesome. I before we even get to the numbers, I'm jumping right in. Yeah. We said on Monday slash Tuesday show that Michael Bennett used to be our guy. Right. And who's taken over? Well, I don't know. Maybe fletched.

After Cox. Well, guess what? They're on the same team. Michael Bennett. Michael Bennett reportedly, reportedly being traded from the sea hawks to the Eagles for a fifth round pick and a wide receiver. That was pretty much on the practice squad. It's amazing. It's amazing. All right. And now it's your starting to on the podcast, the starting defensive line for the filter for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. Right. Is Brandon Graham. Yeah. Fletcher.

Yeah. And then Michael Bennett. Derek Barnett. Oh, yeah. And then maybe Timmy journey. It's off. And Timmy journey. And it'll probably be inside and Bennett will be outside and Barnett might not be a starter yet. Graham Cox.

Yeah. And then Ben, Ben, Ben, Ben, he's gone though for sure now. Right. Yeah. So, all right. So we did say that maybe Michael Bennett's lost a step. Yeah. But it's lost a step in my mind when you're playing against like the, they didn't really have a lot of depth in Seattle. When you're up with Fletcher Cox and Brandon Graham, I imagine you're suddenly rejuvenated.

I mean, I'm going to get into loss the step context too because I don't think everybody really like again, if you've listened to Sims and leftco over the last like three years, we would have told you two years ago, Michael Bennett is was in the conversation for one of the best defensive players in the league. I mean, if not the best again, the sacs don't, the sack numbers aren't there. So people don't realize what a good player. He was out referred to a comment Tom Brady said when they were getting ready to play the sea ox in the 2016 season. He's breaking them down. Ben and I'm not playing in the actual game of the Sunday night. But do you remember that?

Remember what he said? He was like, man, if there's a better defensive player in football than Michael Bennett, please show me who he is. He almost single-handedly beat the Patriots. No, no doubt. I mean, yes, the nickname they gave him was numb nuts up there and like a respectful way that doing. Yes, because he was just, they were like, he's so good. He doesn't even realize it. I mean, he just sometimes he might not worry about his gap, but it doesn't matter. He gets through the hole makes the tackle. Whatever it was, it was a respectful way. I'm not saying every coach. Here's what's amazing. Don't forget that Jeffrey Laurie the Philadelphia Eagles.

Was one of the only owners to come out and support his player standing up for, you know, social rights. Malcolm Jenkins was a leader speaking for players rights in Chris Long donated all this money. Well, guess what? A perfect place for Michael Bennett to go and how interesting is it? It's the same week that the Houston Texans came out and the Miami Dalfans came out and said, we don't want our players kneeling for the anthem and they've retract those statements. But I'd also like to say this.

I don't know. I thought the Eagles proved that players could stand up for social injustices and also have success. AKA win the Super Bowl. And now we have one of the best guys because there have been reports that the C-hawks are trying to become a quote quieter team.

A lot of rumblings by the time this comes out, I wouldn't be surprised if Richard Sherman isn't on the C-hawks. Sure. Well, I don't think he will be for much longer. And if you didn't get hurt, I think he'd be definitely been traded or gone already at this point. But the injury actually puts a wrinkle into the situation.

Are we officially reaching the end of the Seattle C-hawks without a doubt? Yes. It is, it is over. They've realized that they are going to rebuild their team. Now, I mean, hey, yeah, Russell Wilson's still there. Bobby Wagner's still there.

But we don't know with Cliff Avril, the next situation, same thing with Cam Chancellor. So it is coming to the end where a few of them might stick around.

The majority of them though are on their way down as far as the arc of their career. And that's nothing. I don't mean that in a negative way. I mean, it happens to all of us.

They were awesome. They were one of the most fun teams to watch in football. But it's the NFL. And when you start to hit 29 or 30, you're old.

And you start to realize it when you lock in the locker room because everybody's 23 or 24. It's weird. When you look at Seattle's run, yeah, we thought it was going to be back to back.

And I need super balls. Yeah, they end up with one. Yeah. What did we learn from the C-hawks run?
