I'm Jake Hofer and this is Back 40, a limited series show on Wire to hunt, part of Meat Eaters podcast Network. Each episode I'll be asking eight whitetail hunting pros a focused, thought provoking question about hunting and land management. How do I hunt the best part of the farm with less than ideal access?
- [00:23]
Jake Hofer (or Back 40 co-host)
Should you? That's what the real question is. Stand without good access is not a good stand.

Richard Sherman
Welcome back to the Richard Sherman podcast and what a crazy training camp August. We have had you. You've seen teams trade players. We're getting to the cut deadline. You, you know, players that you thought were going to be balling out, didn't have a great preseason, doesn't mean they won't have a great career. And there are players that you have high expectations for that are exceeding those expectations. Jackson Dart, we're looking at you. There are guys that may be looking for a new team soon or sometime in the future, like Micah Parsons. And that's where we got to get into because as I have said before, Jerry Jones cannot get out of his own way. And now he's telling Stephen A. Smith, no matter what, we got him for three years. If the relationship between Micah Parsons and Jerry Jones was as positive, as healthy, as incredible as Jerry and Micah over the past few years has, have made it seem, I don't think we would be here. But Jerry is a, a guy who wants things his way. And now he's saying, David Mulligetta, there's no place for the agent in these negotiations, which is actually illegal in the, in the NFL. And the way they do business, unless the player is representing himself like I have before, the agent has to be involved. That's the way it works. Micah doesn't necessarily have to be involved. He doesn't necessarily have to talk to front office or management or anything because there's conflict of interest. If he's not representing himself, he's not going to know, hey, they're trying to get you for 10 years. They got Tyron Smith for a 10 year deal at a very reasonable rate. You looked into that deal at year five, year six. You had a really good tackle for a very affordable number over the time. And so this is a situation where I don't think Jerry Jones should have done this and I don't think he should keep doing what he's doing, which is digging himself in a further hole and creating a bigger divide between he and one of his star players. And now they've done the x rays, the MRIs on his back. They had him laying down on the training table. Look, none of that matters. And Schottenheimer's like, oh man, I'm going to go talk to him. I'm going to go know we may find him. We. It's screaming disaster. It's screaming disaster. And it's getting worse and worse and worse. This is not how you treat arguably your best player. This is a guy who's had no off the field problems, no issues, played hard, done everything. He's got a little banged up, but three all pros, productive, dominant. What are we doing? What are we doing? Jerry Jones, you have him for three more years. If he doesn't play in the first four games, five games. There are statistics out there that say your defense is the worst defense in the league or dang near. When he's not on the field, I think it's 29th and they're among the best. When he's on the field, why wouldn't it make sense to just make sure he's on the field and you say, oh, he's under contract. Well, the same way guys are under contract and get cut and people are like, well, you know, they didn't need to honor the contract because they could cut him in there. Well, he could exercise this. He understands the consequences of his actions. And a player can be banged up. Who's to say he's not mris the next race? They aren't, they don't know everything. I mean, you could have injuries that they're not picking up. It's happened before, it'll happen again. So what happens now if Michael Parsons continues to be hurt, gets rehabbed, continues to make sure he's taking care of his body and he's going to get out there when he's healthy, you're, you're, you're going to cost your team real life games and you could lose games because you refuse to honor and respect the guy who you're saying you want to make the highest pay. Non defensive, I mean, non quarterback. Then do it. Call David Mulligetta. He's not unreasonable. There's a reason he's done all these deals. He's done a billion dollars worth of deals in one season because he's the best. So give him a phone call. When I think Jerry's going out of his way to make this situation more volatile than it needs to be, more combative than it needs to be. It doesn't need to be this combative. You telling this guy there's no room for your agent to negotiate. Like, what, what, what is this? What, what, what you, you want to pay me as the highest paid non defensive player? That's, that's, that's a, There's a number on that. There's a number on that. It's a high number. I think it's 42 million right now, maybe more. So $42 million a year over however many years you want him. If you want a five year deal, cool. You could. That's. Those are semantics. Like you may want a seven year deal, Jerry, they may want a three year deal. Like you meet somewhere in the middle and you get a deal done, but it seems like something else is in Play here for Jerry Jones. Like, there's a different kind of pride, a different kind of mentality where he's like, hey, I'm not giving here. I own the boy. And I'm like, ah, Jerry, it's getting kind of crazy when you start talking like that because you're talking about human beings with, with real emotions, feelings and all that, and that he knows how to play the game just like you're playing the game. And sure, fans can get mad, they can get irritated or whatever, but just as the team can has the right to maneuver how they want to within the confines of these contracts. Players are getting smarter and they're going to maneuver within the confines of these contracts. And we'll see who wins. We'll see who wins. He gets paid either way. He gets paid either way. Hey, if he doesn't play week one, he gets paid. If his back is tight week one, he gets paid. What you gonna do? So you gonna pay him to play or are you gonna pay him to for his back to be tight? You gonna have to figure it out, Jerry, because it ain't changing anytime soon. And Schefter's reporting that he don't think Micah's gonna finish his career in Dallas. I would agree. I would agree. It seems like Dallas is gonna have a lot of issues going forward. If this is the way Jerry Jones is gonna approach every negotiation and every conversation with players that have had multiple all pros on a rookie contract, you're going to have a very difficult time. You guys have done a phenomenal job drafting in the first round, drafting All Pro after all pro after all pro after great player. But now you don't want to pay the guy with arguably the best resume among those guys. Doesn't sound like a recipe for success for the Dallas Cowboys to me. But who am I? Just a humble servant. Now on to Shador Sanders. The topic of conversation, everybody. One of the worst games he's played. Obviously he hasn't had a ton of games as a pro, but had a rough game, took some, some bad sacks, and it's created a incredible discourse online. You're either on one side of the fence or the other. You're saying he didn't get a fair shake of it, or you said he played behind the same offensive line that, that Huntley played behind, who led a two minute drive for the game winning touchdown, etc. Etc. I think it's somewhere in the middle, as always. I think he can be a good quarterback. He's a rookie. He's going to Learn you can't make those plays that you did in college. You can't take those sacks as, as fits and wit. Always inform me and educate me because I'm a defensive player, so I'm not thinking about the way a quarterback is maneuvering to make sure he's not throwing in completions or how the sacks that they're taking is affecting offensive line but not affecting his QBR and completion percentage, et cetera, et cetera. He's going to have to get over that, and I think he's trying to make sure the numbers look like they're supposed to look like. But this is the National Football League. Let the ball go live to fight another down, save the yards. And I think that's going to be the learning curve for him going forward is that, hey, you can't protect your completion percentage and all that that way. You're not going to be able to do it if that. If they get to you quick, you're going to have to let it go. You're going to have to dirt the ball and you're going to have to get us to the next play. It can't be 2nd and 25 and think, oh, man, we're going to keep taking 2nd, 2nd and 25s and try to dig ourselves out of the hole. But you've gone 8 for 10 for 140 yards and two touchdowns. At times it's going to look worse than that. At times it's going to look like you're. I don't know, you're going to be 8 for 19 for 140 yards, and four or five of those are going to be throwaways because the pressure got there. You had nowhere to go with the ball. You got quick pressure and you had to dead the ball. Like, people understand that. They're watching the games. That would come off better than taking these sacks, but that's something a young quarterback's going to learn. He played really well in his first start, had a rough outing in his second start. It's football. Unfortunately, we won't get to see him again unless something drastic happens until next year. That's the, the life of a backup quarterback in the National Football League. There are only 32 starters at the position, and he's behind multiple guys. Joe Flacco stays relatively healthy, and he's playing really good football. He's a good quarterback. If he was playing behind a rookie or, or a guy who doesn't have a lot of experience, a guy with who, who. Who has a short leash, then there's a chance that they would rep him in practice. He'd get to develop throughout the season getting, you know, a few reps with the starters here and there. Obviously the starting quarterbacks get majority of the reps. The backups usually do the scout team. But the Browns keeping four quarterbacks would be head scratching because there's only a limited amount of spots in NFL and having three guys who aren't contributing on game day on your roster, on your active roster, when you have got, you know, offensive line issues with where offensive lineman, defensive linemen get banged up and you got to have another guy in the, on the bench that can come in and play. I don't know, I don't know if they're going to do that. I think this is going to be the position. I mean this is the point we've been waiting for to see what they do with Shador Sanders, whether they trade him, whether they cut him. Because keeping forward is a head scratching decision. I mean even nowadays keeping three active is a head scratcher for a lot of teams because roster spots are so valuable. So everybody has to be a contributor, whether it's on special teams, whether it's an offensive, defensive. You may be the sixth receiver and you're the punt returner, kick returner. Like you have to have a role that you play and an impact, a fourth strings quarterback being on the active roster. It's nothing to say about Shador. It just doesn't make roster sense in the NFL. It does not make sense. That's why they don't do it. They don't. Those are the practice squad quarterbacks who, who play the scout team. And usually still you don't keep four, you keep three. So this is new, this is interesting. I would say, I would think they would move him, get the draft pick, send him somewhere. Who would, who would value him and need him more than you would need him? Obviously you, you feel good with Kenny Pickett, Dylan Gabriel, that's what I've heard. That's the way the depth chart says. I think, I think they should move him somewhere. I think the Saints would be a good landing spot. I think the Las Vegas Raiders, obviously they're looking for a veteran backup, but that would give them a chance to develop under Pete Carroll and his staff. I think there are a few destinations that make sense for a rookie. Pittsburgh, a guy he could go in there and learn from Aaron Rodgers, you know, develop behind him, learn that offense. Great coach in Tomlin, but I think you got to move him. I think you got to Move him. I think it's becoming too much of a distraction in Cleveland and that's what a big name quarterback is going to do. When you drafted him, you knew the name, you knew the acclaim, you knew the, the hype that comes with him, the crowd, the, the, the fanfare. And now there are. They're Kevin Stefani is going to have is having to answer questions, real life questions. Each and every press conference about a fourth tring quarter like that's the kind of energy and attention and headlines that Shador Sanders, he's Deion Sanders son. He's a quarterback. It's going to be an issue and that's what any other team is going to have to be willing to take on if they trade for him. But there are teams where he would be competitive and I think he could help. I think the Saints are one of them. You know, you got a young quarterback who's inexperienced. Can you develop him? Is there a quarterback competition that could develop there? I'm sure there is. I thought they would draft him in the beginning, but I don't think it's a good idea for the Browns to keep him as a fourth string quarterback on the active roster when you have so many other holes that you need to feel when filling out a game day roster, especially your first 53. And if you cut him, I think one of these teams just picks him up on waivers and you don't see him again. Like there's no way he's I, I in my opinion, but I also didn't see him going in the fifth round of the NFL draft. But I don't think there's a way he makes it through waivers and he comes back to you on practice squad. That'd be really surprising. If that happens then they knew something that we didn't and good job on the Browns and great decisions and it makes sense. But I don't think he makes it through waivers. I think there are teams that would poach him and do exactly what I said he'd be on their practice squad or on their active roster. So I'm interested to see how that goes. There are people making a lot of, of noise about the offensive line he played against. This is, I mean play behind. This is the NFL. That's what happens. That's what happens. You know these guys at the end of a preseason, the third preseason game, these are likely the guys that are getting cut. Most of these guys, unless somebody does something incredible, there are receivers you can go for 200 yards and you're probably still getting cut. The decisions are likely already made. These are just guys getting a chance to put things on tape. Audition for the other 31 teams that could potentially pick you up after you get cut. Whether it's practice squad or active roster, it's an audition. But it's, it's not like this is something really crazy. And I know people are like, man, he set him up for failure. I didn't understand not allowing him to do the two minute drill. I think that just might have been their rotation they gave him. They had a certain amount of plays that they wanted him to, to do. Then they wanted to give Huntley an opportunity before they cut him the next day. Those are things that wouldn't look as unusual in another situation, but look unusual in this situation. Because of all the attention on Shador. I think Shador is going to be successful in NFL. I think when you put him behind an offensive line that isn't very good and he gets early pressure in his rookie year, it's going to be tough. He's out there with third stringers, third string receivers, it's going to be tough. But I don't think that's a indication of, you know, where his career is going to trend or where, where he's going to go. I think that's just a rookie dealing with rough circumstances. He'll continue to develop something he'll learn from, watch the tape and improve. You got to throw the ball away. You got to get rid of it. You can't take those sacks. It's not hard to understand for me or anybody else.

Richard Sherman
But this preseason, we can talk about the Seattle Seahawks that, that I'm wearing. They had a really great training camp and great preseason. Had great conversations with Mike McDonald and just the changes that he made. Obviously, you guys seen the interview, but outside of the interview, had more conversations. And it's just a different energy with the team. It's a different energy from him, a different understanding. In year two, some tweaks and some adjustments, obviously, on the offensive side of the ball, the running game looks totally different. It looks like they have an identity, a toughness. Gray Zabel looks really good. Obviously, there's going to be some learning there, but there's a togetherness in the offensive line room that, that. That hasn't been there in. In over a decade. And not that they haven't had good teams. It's just a different kind of continuity, a different kind of togetherness, brotherhood, chemistry, whatever you want to call it, guys that, that respect each other and want to show up for each other and sacrifice for one another. You start to hear that in offensive line room, you start to say, okay, all right. This could be a special group because that's not the case everywhere. That's not the case in every locker room or every offensive line where there's going to be, hey, man, let me, let me take my wrist up today because I don't want to let my brother down. He's depending on me to be in the spot I'm going to be in. Like, offensive line rooms are the big fellas, they are together, they protectors and all that good stuff. But sometimes there's a selfishness to them. You know, if I'm hurt, I'm going to take care of myself and get myself right before I go out there and not put anything bad on film. That's natural in the National Football League. But when you start to hear guys saying they're going to sacrifice, they're going to tape up, they're going to make sure they go out there, even if they're not 100% they banged up because they're not letting their brother down, then those are guys that are playing for something else and playing with a little more umph. And so that's the conversations that I'm hearing about around the building. When you go in there and you talk to the offensive line and you talk to the. The coaches and the staff and other players, and you see that on tape, you see that, that, that mid zone, that split zone, that outside zone working really effectively. Charbonnet and all the other backs had some real success in this preseason. They rushed for, I think, 268 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs. Not that the Kansas City Chiefs had, you know, their world beaters out there, but that doesn't happen very often in any preseason game. I mean, I don't know this entire preseason in any other game if a team ran for 200. So that's an encouraging sign, especially with the struggles they had running the football last year and how that'll open up the pass game with JSN and Cooper cup and all those guys, it's going to be interesting. And defensively, they just are playing with a fire and intensity that, that hasn't been there in years. They're playing with a confidence, energy. I mean, you've seen the fights and all that in Green Bay. You don't want to see that. But you also see guys standing up for one another and, and, and coming up and handling business. They're not taking, they're not taking no shit from people. And that's what it's about. It's about imposing your will on defense. You running, you hitting. You're not about to bully us. You're not about to punk us like we're here. And they played a lot of this preseason without their starters. You know, you haven't played. You have J. Reed, you haven't had Leonard Williams out there. You're. You're not playing with all your starters or your big boys up front. DeMarcus Lawrence, you're not, you're not playing with all your, your. The guys that are going to be there on opening day. And so I'm really excited for them and what they're going to be defensively, offensively, if they're running the ball like that, what it's going to open up for. For the past game, it looks like they, they're going to be something special this year, but they got to put it together and put it on tape, so we'll see. But it's been encouraging things going on for the, for the Seattle Seahawks and, and those, the fans. You guys should be really excited. So let me switch my cap to my other 10, the San Francisco 49ers. And again, a very top heavy roster full of some of the best players in the National Football League, evidenced by the top 100 rankings or whatever. But you still got Trenton WILLIAMS Healthy. Christian McCaffrey, by all accounts, looks very good, looks dynamic. They traded for Brian Robinson, which I think is a incredible move. Isaac Garrindo, if he gets healthy, you know, be another contributor. But a veteran in Brian, I think he's been a good back. I think he had 800 yards and eight touchdowns last year. Fred Warner can All Pro. Fred Bosa, um, these are premier guys that are premier positions who are going to help this team. Ricky Purcell looked good in the, in the preseason games he's played. The connection with Brock Purdy looks like it's incredible. George Kittle, of course, the all Pro, best tight end in football. I think that's going to be a fun. It's going to, it's going to come down to how healthy they can be. But that offensive line and the same issues that have presented itself for the last few years are the same issues that are still there. Can they stand up and pass pro? They've shown success, enough success in the run game to, to, to, to get that respect and to think, hey, it's going to be fine. They're going to be able to run the football. Christian McCaffrey is going to find the holes. He's going to. They're going to be fine there. But can everybody outside of Trent Williams hold up in pass pro and protect Brock Purdy and give him the time to be the efficient quarterback that he has been when he's protected and he's got time to deal. He's a really effective quarterback, but no quarterback's effective when he gets pressure or pocket collapses. And that's been the Achilles heel of this offense. And that was the Achilles heel of this offense last year. Obviously there was some separation issues at the receiver spot that Juwan Jennings solved a lot of times, especially on third down. That situation is starting to get to be what I, what I kind of hinted at earlier in training camp, like this calf. We're, we're. We're at the end of August now, so it's starting to seem more like, like posturing than an actual injury. And again, this is how it goes. This is how negotiations goes. A guy wants something, he is using what is in his means, what is in. In his ability to, within the constructs of his contract, to negotiate the leverage that he has. He's exercising it is what it is. I'm not. Look, you guys can be mad at it. I've been a player. I want them to get as much money as they can. You got to do what you got to do. Now as a fan, you want him to play, you know how he's going to make an impact. This could be a great season for him. A season that Propels him even in a, into an even bigger stratosphere and a bigger contract. But he's doing what he can to try to secure his family and secure the bag right now. Can't really be mad at that. But they're going to have to figure it out. They're going to have to figure out what they're going to do with him, whether they move on from him and trade him or they pay him so that he's out there on, on Week one. But he's going to be a pivotal part of this offense going forward. Especially with Brandon Iuk sidelined till at least week six to week 10, depending on how he progresses. You need him there. You need this young receiving corps to have a veteran there, Brock Purdy to have a guy he knows he can depend on, a guy you know can separate, can get open in a phone booth and Juwan Jennings is there. He's also a tone setter for this offense. He's also the attitude, the energy, the muscle, along with, you know, George Kittle and everybody else. But he brings a different element. He brings that element of, of a bully, an attitude to this team and this offense. So you, it's something that's necessary, especially opening the game in Seattle against the Seattle Seahawks, who have looked really good in the preseason, looked really good in training camp. A defense that's going to be trying to impose their will and create an identity and establish an identity, and you're gonna, you're gonna need to, you're gonna need to, you're gonna need him on the field. Kyle Shanahan said he expects him to be ready Week one. He expects him to be back for week one. That's a positive sign. That's, that's, that's great. But we'll have to hear about him going to practice and going through the motions in practice. If he's there week one, that'd be a great sign for this offense. But defensively, still a lot of question marks. I'm sure there's going to be some waiver wire pickups. Even on the offensive and defensive line, there's going to be some waiver wire pickups. Are those draft picks who you thought they were? Playing defensive tackle as a rookie in the National Football League is rough. This is a veteran game and some of these offensive line, they have people movers, and so you usually want to have that big veteran in there who's been established that crusty veteran plays first and second down, does not move, understands double teams, understands, you know, how to keep them off as linebackers, et cetera, et cetera. So I'm expecting them to be very active on the waiver wire and in free agency once these cuts happen or in the trades. Obviously, they trade. Traded for sky more as well, because the. The receiving core has been so depleted. Are they going to use him in that Debo Samuel roll, you know, on the end of rounds in the backfield to try to continue to have that dynamic that Kyle Shanahan has had for the last five years? I think so. Obviously, he's also a talented returner, and they'll use him in that space, but I think they got to make some moves to strengthen the depth of their offensive and defensive line, and the only way they can do that right now is through trades or picking up guys that have been cut or released. The secondary is also banged up, so you gotta. You gotta get it together. You gotta get together. Hopefully these guys. Upton Stout is ready. Renardo Green is ready for week one. That. That would answer a lot of those questions. If they're healthy, I think they'll be solid back there. Ronaldo showed a lot of flashes. Obviously, we know what d' Amador Lenore has. The. The. The linebackers will be great, but in the special teams looks like it improved. You know, big play. There were a few big plays in the preseason. You know, I know fans are really concerned about Jake Moody because it. That's the wild card. And you're not. You're not ever supposed to be holding your breath for pats with a kicker or every kick, you're like, you know, is this gonna be. Is this going in? You want. You want consistency, you want to have an expectation. Hey, these are dependable. 3. You can get 3. This is the National Football League. Hey, you're within the 40, you're inside the 40. You know, this is three. And that's what they had for a long time with Robbie Gold. And I know San Francisco fans are sitting there like some of them are like, all right, we're ready to get rid of Robbie. And now you're looking back like, oh, looking at pictures of Robbie like that sure was nice to have that kind of consistency. But it looks like they're rolling with Jake Moody. I would guess he's going to have a short leash if. If. If things don't go well in the first few games or something happens and he doesn't kick well. I would imagine that they're going to bring other people in, but they seem to believe that he's the guy for the job, and they continue to show confidence in him. He did hit the, the, the game winner the other day in the preseason game. But then you see the mystic pat and then the kick out of bounds and you're like, come on. But it looks like he's going to be the guy. So wrap your heads around that. He's going to be the guy. He's going to be out there. Hopefully he shows the promise that they, that he showed when they drafted him in the third round. Because if he doesn't, I think they're going to be picketing outside of Levi to get a bring it, bring in a new kicker. But there's going to be a lot of players available. It's the cut deadline. There's going to be people that are cut that weren't you weren't expecting. There's going to be players that available that I think weren't available earlier. Here. Here in Safety Kyle Duggar is available. The Patriots have made him available. It looks like The San Francisco 49ers have made Jair Brown available as well. So there's going to be a lot of things that change. I don't think you're going to find any guys you're going to bring in and make immediate starters. Maybe at the receiver spot you may find guys that, that are impact players. But I think you're going to see your roster change pretty pretty, not drastically, but pretty reasonably as these cuts happen and players become available. I expect the San Francisco 49ers as much as anybody to be active, especially offensive and defensive line depth and at the receiver spot, like if they, if they can get him. I mean, I'm seeing Jacoby Myers is, is looking for a trade out of Las Vegas. I doubt they grant him that. He's been their number one receiver. We'll see. We'll see. But as always, I appreciate you guys joining me. You could be anywhere in the world but you choose to be here with me getting your NFL news and I sure do appreciate it. We're going to be back with a season preview and more updates as these cuts and trades and transactions happen. Stay tuned.
