They actually surprise me with some common sense in this video. They sound very reasonable, they seem to understand that Cam is just as good as guys like Wilson/Ryan. Just figured it would be interesting to some.

Cam makes me happy.

In before someone says vet minimum. :)

Woody was on Around the Horn yesterday and loved the contract.  Said it was smart of us to sign him to that deal.

They're high.

"if they ever get a great defense there" is he watching the same team as i am?

​Seemed like Woody was having trouble getting the idea across to Les that QB pay is ever increasing with the salary cap. Yes, Cam is getting elite money at this moment, but he will likely have a sub top 10 salary within 3-5 years. Considering the fact that Tannehill got 96m, and Cam will likely get 100m-115m, I'd see that deal being eclipsed very very quickly.

​Do you think John Fox's best defense stacks up to RR's best?

​The defense in 2003 was pretty strong. Peppers and Rucker up front, Ricky(particularly in the playoffs) and Minter in the secondary. Was quite the squad.

I do agree, though, that the comment threw me for a loop. They certainly haven't been bad, or even average.

*Edit: Just crunched the numbers. In total yards allowed (because I'm too lazy to re-sort the numbers for every year): Average defense ranking under Fox: 11.11, Ron: 12.5. So it's pretty close.

Yeh, the defense comment was mind-boggling. But overall they seem to be reasonable about Cam. Plus, I said SOME common sense. Lol! 

I liked that the one on the right (can't remember his name) said that Cam may not deserve that now but it shouldn't be too long before he may. Also, Woody mentioned that Wilson has played with a better overall team than Cam. And that it was likely Cam would have been in two Superb Owls as well if he played for Seattle.

I'd say that Fox's best line was better, but the LB core of RR's is better. You could argue that Fox's defensive backfield was better too. Once it's all said and done, RR's defense will be better.
