Speaker 2: of the Minnesota Vikings talkbacks hand them over.

13
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: So much happened in the NFL Free Agency yesterday. It

14
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: does not behoove us to analyze all of it. It

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: does not behoove us to analyze all of it, because

16
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 1: there was so much. Like Kyris Tonga to the Chiefs,

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean, or the ever beatable Cordale Flat getting fat

18
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: stacks of cash, or Alec Pierce getting paid like he's

19
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Jerry Rice, or even Malik Willis to Miami where he's

20
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: reunited with jeff Hapley, who was with him last year

21
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 1: in Green Bay. The Benz, Gastling, and Lieber are here

22
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: to help today, so we'll have some of that conversation

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: to save some of that stuff for them. Guesstling the

24
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: scribe at ten o'clock. By the way, Nordo's guy, the

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: law firm of John Franklin and Myers went to Tennessee

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: to play with Jeffrey Simmons on a three and sixty three.

27
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,680
Speaker 1: And that's exorbitant like many other deals, because the bad

28
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: teams have saved up their chips hoping to turn the

29
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: frown upside down. Ah, but do those bad teams end

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 1: up with a ton of cap space in a bad

31
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: year to be flush with that much walking around money?

32
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: Only time will tell. Davey. Now, we can't possibly hit

33
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: everything here and right now with the here and now,

34
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: because as of like five point thirty last night, when

35
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: I started crafting this bad boy, there had been one

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty two moves and signings and kickers and corners,

37
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: and holy cow, with the head spinning Monday, it was awesome,

38
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: quite honestly, with names, some familiar names going here, there

39
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: and everywhere, and it's continuing to spend today. By the way,

40
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: props to Seattle wide receiver and kick returner Rashid Shaheed

41
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: the Champs. How about this? The Champs nabbed him at

42
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: the deadline, he returned to kick for a touchdown in

43
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: the playoffs against the Niners and parlayed it into a

44
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: three year, fifty one million dollar deal. I mean he

45
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 1: got more than Jalen Naylor did in Las Vegas. I

46
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: think I catching just eighteen passes in twelve games with Seattle,

47
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: but he showed them enough to give him a deal

48
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: of a lifetime. So props to Shahed got three and

49
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 1: fifty one from Seattle.

50
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: What a four or five month period for him. By

51
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: the way, going from determining will it be Tyler Schuck

52
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: or Spencer Rattler throwing me the ball? Defining his way

53
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 2: to Seattle to making memories establishing, wow, he's one of

54
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: the better kick returners, among the best maybe in the NFL.

55
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 2: Wins the ring and gets fifty million dollars. Good for

56
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 2: good for mister shahied three.

57
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: And fifty one when his last deal with the Saints

58
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: was for five million dollars. It pays to be fast.

59
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Congratulations Rushi Jahed. All right, let's start like this. The

60
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: Wild host Utah tonight and all Wild games are sweet,

61
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 1: and we have a Box in the Box Thursday with Heinzy,

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: is that the Lake show Baby tonight. In search of

64
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: a correction off that sucker punch that took place Saturday

65
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: at Target Center. Finchy is with nine to noon tomorrow

66
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: from Los Angeles, around nine thirty. Free agency right now

67
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: around here goes a little something like this. The Minnesota

68
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 1: Vikings have secured the services of linebacker Eric Wilson into

69
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 1: the equation. They'll keep Ivan Pace junior Jalen Redman is

70
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: back in the fray, and they will sign former Steelers

71
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: corner James Pierre to a two year inexpensive deal. Pierre

72
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: was with Flores in Pittsburgh, so that has some sneaky

73
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: to it. They also tendered main man Xavier Scott and

74
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: Bo Richter got the exclusive rights tender. Jalen Naylor is

75
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: a Raider three and thirty five million for all that speed,

76
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: and we thank Naylor for his kindness and willingness to

77
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: acquiesce with the drive Bys in the locker room after

78
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,720
Speaker 1: wins our hunter in an absolute paramutual puzzler. Our punter

79
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: got a four year deal from New Orleans, an eight

80
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: million guaranteed.

81
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 3: He ain't heavy, he's a pont.

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: And on to Bourbon Street. He goes way to go

83
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: for Ryan, Right way to go. New Orleans maybe the

84
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: only team in the history of Walter Camp's invention to

85
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: identify a punter first day of free agency and make

86
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: him an offer he can't refuse. I love Ryan, I'm

87
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: happy for Ryan. Didn't see that one coming, but they

88
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: got a good one with our main man, the plus

89
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 1: size punter.

90
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 3: He ain't heavy, he's a pont, you know, Pa.

91
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: Initially I was kind of worried until I saw the money.

92
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm like, did he did he leave because we lovingly

93
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 2: refer to him as the plus size punter.

94
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: Either that or Brazinski squeezed him like one of the

95
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: two eight.

96
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,799
Speaker 2: Billion garret deed for Ryan Wright. Yeah, that's the luckdown

97
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: on the Bayou, my friend.

98
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 1: Alrighty, so Ryan right there, Our bikes need a holder

99
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: for the Alabama kid though, sneaky talker. We need a

100
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: holder for the Alabama kid though, because he might be

101
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,159
Speaker 1: the best, the best kicker in the National Football League

102
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: offseason dilemma. And that's with no due respect to the

103
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: Dallas guy who went to the Pro Bowl and Ryker

104
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 1: Now kicked him in a nationally televised game and everybody

105
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: saw it. We need a holder, though, we do. And

106
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: finally Sam Darnold gets to party with the Lombardi and

107
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: we received a third round compensatory pick for the loss,

108
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: which is Numero ninety seven in the upcoming draft, pick

109
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: number ninety seven and Brazinski eleven. Briz Now has a

110
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: couple of thirds with which to work, and the Minnesota

111
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: Vikings have four picks in the top ninety seven and

112
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: kind of need to tag them all, Faith and Goal.

113
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: Kind of need to tag them all. Talker Tuesday talkbacks

Speaker 2: You know, for instance, you mentioned John Franklin Myers going

117
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 2: to the Titans. Well, what does that mean in relation

118
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 2: to who's going to be available on the d line

119
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: today for the Minnesota Vikings and really any team that

Speaker 2: a decade long career with the young Cats we have

124
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: on the defensive interior. I'm looking at DJ Reader and

125
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 2: here's why. Hey, it's Eric from Chaska. Really intrigued by

126
00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: a guy that played next to Vita Vea and.

127
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: Elijah Cansey for four years.

128
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 2: His name's Logan Hall, and he will be leaving the

129
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 2: Bucks and will be open for business. I wonder what

130
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 2: Logan Hall looks like against the run A little bit

131
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: and a ton of starts. By the way, in the

132
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: last three seasons for mister Hall. So talkback machine, that's

133

00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: went into that leg injury last year because Elton Jenkins

143
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,400

158
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: I think the Raiders guaranteed two hundred and thirty four

159
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: million dollars in deals yesterday, and.

160
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: I don't have all the other guarantees, but kuay Walker's

161
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 2: getting three forty and a half, Nikobe Dean three and

162
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 2: thirty six, Naylor our guy three and thirty five, Quitty

163
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: pay three and forty eight, Eric Stokes three and thirty

164
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 2: with twenty of it guaranteed. I remember that, wow them

165
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: Malcolm Koontz one year, eleven million dollars. They also traded

166
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: for former Bill's corner Tarren Johnson.

167
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: So that was a busy day for the Raiders yesterday.

168
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 2: But that's where you know, moving forward, talkbacks, elite football

169
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 2: minds with big ideas coming here. Whether it was John Franklin, Myers,

170
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: Tim Settle, Kiris, Toga. PA mentioned that he goes to

171
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,079
Speaker 2: the Chiefs on a deal. Never heard of Roy Lopez,

172
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 2: but he got a deal. Neville Gallimore, I had heard

173
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: of him, He's to the Bears, John Ridgeway, etc.

174
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm focused on that D line.

175
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: Because we're going to get to a point PA here,

176
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 2: whether it's day two, day three, and beyond.

177
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: A lot of the names are no longer in the

178
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 1: mix now.

179
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson, that's still a name out there, PA, but

180
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:30,959
Speaker 2: might be a little expensive for the purple and goal.

181
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: We shall see.

182
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: But in the end, names and people that you're excited

183
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 2: about potentially still being available, or maybe the tastiest talkback

184
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 2: is simply just a position that you need to see

185
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 2: handled today. You're sitting there, you're wetting your palette and

186
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 2: you're ready, and you're like, huh, James Pierre, who's that?

187
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 3: Oh?

188
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, New dB coach Gerald Alexander knows them. Hey, Flores

189
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 2: knows him. But I need more?

190
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 1: How about the fifty some safeties that are out there

191
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 1: on the market right now? Interior d line.

192
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: As we mentioned, is there another name outside of Elkton Jenkins?

193
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 2: The Cade Mays cat from the Panthers. Myriad options for

194
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,719
Speaker 2: you via the talkback machine to jump into this as

195
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: it was a busy day in total for free agency,

196
00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: but kind of a quiet one, a quiet one for

197
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 2: our favorite team.

198
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: What do the nine to Noon devo tays have up

199
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: their sleeves for a Northern Fire talkback prize. We'll play

200
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: them back during the course of the radio show today. Meanwhile,

201
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings acting general manager Rob Razinski is like, excuse

202
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: me while I wip this happened, just sitting back circling

203
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the wagons. We got them exactly where we want them.

204
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360
Speaker 1: This is nine to Noon courtesy of timber Tech and

205
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 1: timber tech dot com. What's on deck nine to Noon

206
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,559
Speaker 1: setlist wise includes the Benz Gasline and Lieber describe at

207
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 1: ten the sideline analyst. At eleven o'clock Lions Vox. Dan

208
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 1: Miller joins about twenty minutes from now for some for

209
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 1: some NFC north in Intel and much more. And when

210
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 1: we return twenty twenty six adversarial Intel the Minnesota Vikings.

211
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 1: Let's just put it this way. What a Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago,

212
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: New Orleans, Tampa Bay, Atlanta, Carolina, New England, Buffalo, the Jets, Miami, Indianapolis,

213
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: the Niners and commanders all have in common. They're on

214
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: our schedule and some of them added bountifully yesterday. That's

215
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 1: next Noordo produces. And I'm Paul Allen. This is f

216
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,319
Speaker 1: M one hundred point three KFA n your home for

217
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: free agent Frenzy and the Minnesota Vikings.

218
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: ABA.

219
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Roseman someone that I'd really like to see added

220
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: to the roster. Hellottle Romeo dops from Green Bay would

221
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: be pretty sweet. I think he'd be a good replacement.

222
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 4: For Jailing Taylor.

223
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 2: I think he's more reliable as a route runner, and

224
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 2: he's very good in traffic, and he still has that

225
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: speed to take the top off the defense.

226
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 1: He's not small as a six to two hundred pound receiver.

227
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: I think he'd be really sweet to get him and

228
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 1: get Green Bay another slap in the face. I like

229
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: the talkback, and you nailed it. Dobbs is not as

230
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: fast as Nailer, every bit as good a route runner,

231
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: if not better. He also can return punts and we

232
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 1: haven't had a punt return touchdown here since since.

233
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,560
Speaker 2: Twenty sixteen against the Houston Texans a US Bank Stadium.

234
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: There you go, Marcus Sheryls. Yeah, that's why I paused.

235
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,680
Speaker 1: I knew you jump all over it because it was

236
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: so vivid when they returned that punt first year at

237
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: US Bank Stadium. Then I think the next punt return

238
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: that took place in that building was by a former

239
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: Viking who played for the Rams, and it was on

240
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: a it was on a Tuesday or was it a

241
00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,959
Speaker 1: There was a it's a short week for the Rams

242
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: the year they won the championship short week game. Yeah, yeah,

243
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: what happen and who who wasn't and what happened?

244
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 2: I believe that was Brandon Powell who got loose in

245
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 2: a maybe let's call it a twenty seven to twenty loss,

246
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: and we were so frustrated and bitten by Powell, and

247
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 2: we added him to the mix.

248
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:14,079
Speaker 4: Pa.

249
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,559
Speaker 2: We added him to the mix thinking he could relive

250
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 2: that glory and still the last punt return Marcus Sheryl's

251
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: twenty sixteen a season that started five and oh into

252
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: the bye week weird game at Philly. Maybe there was

253
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: like a Wedgewood or I forget what his name was,

254
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: kick return for the for the Birds against US Sindejo

255
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: with a pick tweaks his ankle couldn't get into the

256
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 2: end zone. Carson Wentz beats us like hash twenty one thirteen,

257
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 2: something like that.

258
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: Then people started getting hurt.

259
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 2: Jake Long I think the Achilles at FedEx Field and

260
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: five and oh team became like six and five. Blair

261
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 2: Walsh career depending upon him making or missing an extra

262
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: point against Washington, all sorts of weird things. Eric Swoop

263
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 2: completely cooked King Chad Greenway for a thirty yard touchdown

264
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 2: and and Adrian Peterson coming back against those Colts in

265
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: a late season game fumbling, and I think that's the

266
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: last time we saw him wearing purple and gold.

267
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 1: Brandon Powell, though, snapped to barry Brandon Powell back into

268
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 1: return punts runs up on it and makes a Viking

269
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: miss at the forty. Now he's to the fifty far side.

270
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: He's from the forty. Brandon Powell is gone sixty one

271
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: yard putt return touchdown for the LA Rams. And it's

272
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: Brandon Powell with the first putt return touchdown of his career.

273
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: And like that, the positivity has been taken out of

274
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: the building for Vikings fans. It's nineteen ten LA Rams

275
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: from the same day, December twenty sixth year of Our Lord,

276
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. Anybody want Cosbus third and gold from

277
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: the eighth Cousins shotgun pumps and soon and it is

278
00:15:56,720 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: batted into the air and intercepted by the LA Ram

279
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: in the end zone and it is picked off by

280
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: Craven Howard, a second year linebacker from tcu JJ. The

281
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: intend to target. The ball went bounding in the air

282
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: and the Rams have turned over the Minnesota Vikings in

283
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: the shadow of the gold stripe and with a seven

284
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: zero lead, Ko on the sideline wearing blue and gold,

285
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 1: about ready to win a Super Bowl. Pretty good day

286
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 1: for Adam Feeling too.

287
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 5: Rams rush for Kirk looks right, passes right clock Feeling

288
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 5: half a six and he's taken down at the five

289
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 5: yard line. Taylor rap with a wonderful piece of open

290
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 5: field tackling on Adam who could not shake on him.

291
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,400
Speaker 5: And now Adam lay prone, faced first into the US

292
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 5: Bank Stadium turf, rolls over and is on his knees.

293
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 5: That is a gain of nine, and it'll be fourth

294
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 5: down for the Vikings in about four once they tend

295
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 5: to feel him.

296
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: All right, how are you doing, Kirk at one nine?

297
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Like that twenty twenty six adversarial intel, The Minnesota Vikings

298
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: get the NFC North, the NFC South, the AFC East

299
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: and Indy, Washington and San Francisco. Once again, lyons vox

300
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: Dan Miller joins next segment that should be about ten

301
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:19,719
Speaker 1: twelve minutes from now. So here's partially what's noteworthy with

302
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 1: all those guys to this point of the twenty twenty

303
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: six season equation, or so says nine to now talking

304
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: about the teams on the schedule for next year. The

305
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers traded Rashaun Gary to Dallas, re upped

306
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 1: with center Sean Ryan. We'll get Micah back around Halloween,

307
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: at least that's what the combine steam indicated. They cut

308
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 1: Elton Jenkins he plays center, and we used to love him.

309
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: He missed weeks eleven to eighteen last year with what's

310
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: noted as a leg, And when I wrote this last

311
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 1: night that we need intel post taste on Elton Jenkins

312
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: and exactly how bad the leg was from the internet machine.

313
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: Last year, Green Bay offensive lineman Elton Jenkins suffered a

314
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: season ending broken fibula and associated ankle ligament damage during

315
00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: the team's Week ten loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in

316
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: November of twenty twenty five. Placed on ir required surgery.

317
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: Following this, Green Bay decided to release him. And that

318
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 1: took place, That took place within the last couple of days,

319
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: doesn't sound like a great leg situation for Elton Jenkins.

320
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: May God be with him in his covenant Chicago, Dj

321
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: Moore gone, Senator Drew Dahlman, gone, Bradbury in linebacker Devin

322
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: Bush and champion safety Kobe Bryant and super strong defensive

323
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: tackle Neville Gallimore and Case Caingem back good for Case,

324
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: beloved Bjay, all about bolstering that defense and making sure

325
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback gets a smart, tough competence center. I like

326
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: that Bradbury move for them, and I like their moves

327
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: over all so far. Did you mention Kobe Bryant, Yes, okay, yeah,

328
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: how about champion safety Kobe Bryant in Now that's they did.

329
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: They're making nice moves, PA Detroit. They're vox Dan Miller.

330
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: When we're done with early twenty six intel for the

331
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,639
Speaker 1: teams on the Viking schedule this year, that's around the corner.

332
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: NFC South New Orleans Ryan Wright. Ryan Wright, our punter

333
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,160
Speaker 1: is a saint. They also nabbed Jacksonville running back Travis

334
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: ettn and tighten Noah Fant. Noah Fant. What did P. T.

335
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: Barnum say again? Tampa Bay will be without the great

336
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: Mike Evans for the first time in a decade and

337
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,919
Speaker 1: change Evans now is with the Niners, who also were

338
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:42,480
Speaker 1: on the Viking schedule. The Buccaneers also housed Alex and

339
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: Zaloney from the Kiddies and running back Kenneth Gainwell from Pittsburgh.

340
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 1: The Buccaneers have Kenneth Gainwell, Kenneth Gaywell, Bundy might be

341
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 1: one of our guys. Yeah, Carolina got pass rusher Jalen

342
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: Phillips from the Eagles to go with DJ Wanham and

343
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: Patrick Jones. And I'm also signed all Caleb Evans to

344
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: a one year Diddy. I always love that one. Caleb

345
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 1: Evans Carolina rounding out the NFC South, a division of

346
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: the Vikings play next year. This season, Atlanta swooped in

347
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: and snagged Tua like they already know how the twenty

348
00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: twenty sixth season has played out. Holy cow, Kevin Calm,

349
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: that was fast. It has to be the Southpaw bit, right,

350
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,640
Speaker 1: And I'm being serious with this two in Pennix both

351
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 1: throw left handed. We all know that what in the

352
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: heck does Kevin Stefanski have up his sleeve? And is

353
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: this the first time in the history of the NFL

354
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,199
Speaker 1: A team as a one to two quarterback bit with

355
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: both lefties? I can't say I've ever heard of it.

356
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,199
Speaker 1: But Tua who You're satisfied? Whatever it is, Pennix by

357
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: his side. AFC East all on the Viking schedule. The

358
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: Pats AFC cham Drake May. They they paid a fair

359
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: give so to speak, for Ravens defensive end Draymond Jones,

360
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 1: but nothing else big Elijah Vera Tucker. They crushed free

361
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: agency last year and got to the Super Bowl because

362
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: of it. The Jets got to Mario Davis after like

363
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: a quarter century of high end play for the New

364
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints. Seems like that's well timed. Give me he's

365
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:30,120
Speaker 1: almost forty. They grabbed Kingsley and Igbari from the Packers

366
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: and he's a quality player and traded for corner mink

367
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: of Fitzpatrick. They traded for corner mink of Fitzpatrick. Did

368
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: the Jets? What did P. T. Barnum say?

369
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 3: Again?

370
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: I always love that one. The Bills cut Digsy, retained

371
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,719
Speaker 1: that good center McGovern and signed d Alford, who's a

372
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: middling corner at best. Miami cut Tua replaced him with

373
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: Malik Willis, with a risky but potentially rewards rich deal

374
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: with the coach who loves him. As I learned yesterday,

375
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: Appley loves him, and they cut their full back into

376
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: kicker Jason Sanders. We're happy for Sanders and those of

377
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:13,160
Speaker 1: hisilk the Niners, Mike Evans is in the Covenant, Matt

378
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: Jones is still on the roster, and warrenn from Saint

379
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: Paul's guy offensive tackle Verderian Lowe. I always love that one.

380
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: Got two and twelve from next level Shanny, and that's

381
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 1: about it with those guys. Indianapolis who wants to cover

382
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,920
Speaker 1: Alec Pearce and all that cash? Who wants to cover

383
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: Alec Pearce and all that cash, all that cash. They

384
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 1: made a middling trade for a defensive tackle with Green

385
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: Bay and traded. They traded wide receiver Michael Pittman. Why

386
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: because they love their tight end Tyler Warrens so much.

387
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: He can now run the Pittman roots middle of the field, Washington,

388
00:22:55,520 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 1: Washington on the schedule. The Commanders wanted Marcus mario It

389
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: back and got him. They snagged pass rusher Odafeoway from

390
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: the LA Chargers, and now Justin Jefferson and Amik Robertson

391
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: get to resume their deeply rooted Louisiana based rivalry with

392
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:23,200
Speaker 1: the corner wearing burgundy and gold and not Honolulu blue.

393
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 1: There's a lot more, but as the for the purpose

394
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: of those on the Minnesota Viking schedule and or US,

395
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 1: that still was a lot. There was so much yesterday

396
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: and Kevin Calm beloved Stefanski has two left handed quarterbacks,

397
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: who knew what do you.

398
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 2: Think, uh, the way that everybody is getting loose and

399
00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: specifically the the the Tua and Pennox bid I think

400
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 2: they're I think that it's just the Suxsmith laugh. It

401
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 2: is funny. I think that Kevin Stefanski right out of

402
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 2: the gates. I don't know how much poll he has

403
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,919
Speaker 2: him sitting in a room at Ryan now. From an

404
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 2: executive standpoint, how much is Stefanski begging for competent quarterback play?

405
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 1: Just think about where he came from and.

406
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,520
Speaker 2: Everything he had to deal with, and you know how

407
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,359
Speaker 2: the whole Deshaun Watson thing worked out. He had like

408
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: four or five quarterbacks on his roster at one point

409
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,000
Speaker 2: last year. He is begging for competent quarterback play. So

410
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 2: from my standpoint, I think it just makes sense that

411
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 2: they were going to pounce on something as quickly as

412
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 2: humanly possible. The financial savings that they're getting. I don't

413
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: know if you've been following the Kirk bid, Kirk might

414
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 2: be asking for more than the ten million he's getting

415
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 2: from the Falcons. Wow, which in addition to you know,

416
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: kind of the mindset that you've spoken of with him

417
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 2: demanding or anywhere he goes, he wants to be the starter,

418
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: he wants to be QB one. The money combined with

419
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: that in interesting situation there for Kirk moving forward.

420
00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: But the Savings they're going to get.

421
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 2: They're both south pause, so maybe that helps Stefanski from

422
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 2: an offensive line standpoint and just kind of orchestrating the offense.

423
00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 2: That makes sense that the Raiders are not the Raiders,

424
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 2: excuse me, but the Niners in particular with what they're

425
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 2: doing there with Mike Evans. Now he needs to stay healthy,

426
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 2: he needs to stay healthy, and that hammy watch out

427
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: for that hamstring, Mike Evans.

428
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: And they got Mike Evans. That means they can't possibly

429
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:29,400
Speaker 1: need Juwan Jennings. Jawan Jennings. I mean, I guess pellis

430
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 1: all handle pelis Aro, you handle sheefty. Yeah, and we'll

431
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: just keep hitting F three to refresh it to see

432
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 1: who gets home and why.

433
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 2: The only thing the thing I'll say about day one

434
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,800
Speaker 2: and it'll be interesting. I just saw Ben Gesling. He

435
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: he posted about twenty minutes ago. The Vikes have worked

436
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,359
Speaker 2: out a new deal with Andrew Depaula. So Andrew de

437
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: Paula is still going to be our favorite long snapper.

438
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 1: All pro long snapper.

439
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: Though.

440
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 2: The one thing, you know, Patience and you were Joe,

441
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: you know, Rob Brazinski's got him right where he wants.

442
00:25:57,960 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: He asked to We don't have that much money and

443
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 1: it has to be calculated.

444
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: But part of this, I mean, look at what the Chiefs.

445
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,719
Speaker 2: We mentioned, what the Raiders did yesterday, look at what

446
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,639
Speaker 2: the Giants did yesterday. You're talking about the Jets and

447
00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: they're gonna be big game hunting over look at what

448
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: the Titans did, the Saints. These are really really bad teams.

449
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:19,920
Speaker 2: These are really really bad teams that have not drafted

450
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 2: well and are trying to pick up the freaking pieces.

451
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 2: And those are the teams that you're seeing getting some

452
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 2: of those big names, some.

453
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,440
Speaker 1: Of the names that I wanted, really wanted.

454
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: John Franklin Myers made way more money than what we

455
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,880
Speaker 2: could afford anyway, same, but the bad teams are feasting

456
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:40,120
Speaker 2: in free agency. Rob Brazinski, he's got them right where

457
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: he wants them. Man, Let's hit on those four picks

458
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 2: in the top one hundred. Let's hit on those four

459
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 2: picks in April, and let's roll.

460
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: Baby. The Saints got our punter and they're on our schedule.

461
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,399
Speaker 1: I mean, the Vikings can find a punter to do

462
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: the job the way they wanted done. The Alabama kids

463
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: older though, you lucky suckers, All Lee cow like Nord

464
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: has said, that's the sneaky talker. That's the sneaky talker.

465
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: As we move forward, Ryan Wright, we'll spend an hour

466
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: on it. He's gonna wear the flur to lee.

467
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 3: He ain't heavy, He's a pont.

468
00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:24,280
Speaker 1: Dan Miller vox for the Detroit Lions next time. All right, now,

469
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 1: welcome back to the nine to noon radio show and

470
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: one of our very favorites, Dan Miller, played by play

471
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: voice for the Detroit Lions, nice enough to join a

472
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: nine to noon to chat about this frenzied time of

473
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 1: the year. And Dan, how about all the action yesterday

474
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,600
Speaker 1: Monday and teams are already at it today. Man, I

475
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: don't know about you, but I put my phone down

476
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: at five point forty five last night and I'm like,

477
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm all done with this. I mean, it's I think

478
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 1: it's called doom scrolling. And I'm like, if Kyler Murray

479
00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 1: becomes our new quarterback, I'm gonna hear about it tomorrow.

480
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,919
Speaker 1: There just was so much action. Damn the man on

481
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 1: the fan, what'd you think?

482
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 6: I looked at what the raiders did? I think Chefter's

483
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,959
Speaker 6: sent it across last night right around the time you

484
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 6: checked out and it was everybody that had signed, and

485
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 6: I went down the list and I was just like,

486
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 6: oh my gosh, this is incredible, and you know, there's

487
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 6: some recognizable names in there, and it's such a strange

488
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 6: day just because, look, it's a day that's built on hope,

489
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 6: because every team hopes that the guy or guys that

490
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 6: they sign will be the ones that they can push

491
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 6: him across the line and make them better. And it's

492
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 6: like every trade deadline, every draft day, things like that.

493
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 6: But I just think this day in particular, NFL free

494
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 6: agency comes with a little bit more peril because so

495
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 6: often guys do well in one system, but it doesn't

496
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:54,719
Speaker 6: mean it translates.

497
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 4: Into another system.

498
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 6: And look, sometimes it works, but I just to me,

499
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 6: and this has to be fine tuning.

500
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: This has to be you're filling in.

501
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 6: A guy for the last couple spots that you need

502
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 6: to take care of something. But if this is the

503
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 6: way that you try to build your team, and believe me,

504
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,600
Speaker 6: I'm in a city where they tried to do it

505
00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 6: for years, I'm just not a big fan of believing

506
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 6: that that works. I just think it's really tough, and

507
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:24,720
Speaker 6: as you said, the prices just seem a little bit crazy.

508
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 6: And I just feel like so often we see a

509
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 6: couple of years after a guy's sign they're like, well,

510
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 6: we can't deal with this contract anymore.

511
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like a couple of years ago for the Vikings,

512
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 1: you know, they make the moves for Jonathan Gernard and

513
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Van Ginkel, and those moves worked, I mean, and

514
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,800
Speaker 1: there were more that worked, you know, last year it

515
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: wasn't as bountiful here. Then you think about the New

516
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 1: England Patriots last year. Man with Milton Williams and a

517
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 1: bunch of freebies they brought in. I mean, they hit

518
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: on a bunch of them, got to the super Bowl.

519
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 1: It's kind of been crickets around New England so far,

520
00:29:57,520 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: you know, because you just can't do that every year.

521
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 1: And you know, the the the bad teams in the league,

522
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: the teams that are really trying to get above four

523
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: or five six wins year after year, they seem to

524
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,719
Speaker 1: have the most money and it's not even close. And

525
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: it's almost like the way they spend it to get better,

526
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,600
Speaker 1: it's almost to show the fan base, Hey, we got

527
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 1: one hundred million dollars under the cap here, we're just

528
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:24,239
Speaker 1: gonna spend it all so that so that fans can

529
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:25,600
Speaker 1: be happy they're spending their money.

530
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:30,120
Speaker 6: You know, Yeah, and you can win March, but it

531
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that you're gonna win a lot in September.

532
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:36,680
Speaker 6: And I think sometimes this time of year, beauty is

533
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 6: in the availability and these are not guys that you

534
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:43,760
Speaker 6: normally might spend the kind of money on that we're

535
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 6: seeing being spent now. And again, look, some of these

536
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 6: moves are gonna work out and they're gonna be great.

537
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 4: I just you know, some of the money.

538
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 6: That was out there yesterday, I just I don't get.

539
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 6: I know teams are trying to fill holes, but I

540
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:00,080
Speaker 6: just I don't know if this is the way, you know,

541
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 6: the sustainable winner.

542
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,280
Speaker 4: But look you said it.

543
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 6: I mean when you guys signed those two edge rushers.

544
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,160
Speaker 4: I mean, those guys had impact.

545
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 6: And I looked at and I said, man, that'd be

546
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:18,200
Speaker 6: great to have something like that. But I definitely am

547
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,480
Speaker 6: somebody who soured a little bit on this. But your

548
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 6: example with the Patriots is a great one because that

549
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,160
Speaker 6: was a big part of what they did.

550
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,200
Speaker 4: And I like the Rams have done.

551
00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 6: I mean, normally you might look at spending money on

552
00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 6: cornerbacks like that and say, man, I don't know about that,

553
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 6: but look, they got one year. Stafford's going to play

554
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 6: one more year. Then you probably have one more year

555
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 6: to get this done. So I would push all my

556
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 6: chips to the middle of the table if I was

557
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 6: the Rams too, and then figure it out after next

558
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 6: season whatever happened.

559
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like how you put it with. You can

560
00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 1: win March, but it doesn't mean you're going to win

561
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,960
Speaker 1: September through early February. There's a great play by play

562
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: voice in the NFL who a few years ago said,

563
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 1: if you want to change the car conversation, win some games,

564
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: and and that's that's what these teams are hoping is

565
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: going to happen with with this flurry a free agency

566
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,200
Speaker 1: and all the money spent for for guys who just

567
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 1: they've done well, but they just haven't done a lot

568
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: consistently for many years. Hey have you have you met

569
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: your new offensive coordinator Drew Petsing yet You're gonna absolutely

570
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 1: love him?

571
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 2: I have not.

572
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 4: I am looking forward to it.

573
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,280
Speaker 6: I know some folks have is not at the Combines,

574
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 6: so when he can get a chance to spend some

575
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,240
Speaker 6: time with them, But I'm looking forward to it, and

576
00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 6: you know I'm excited about what he and Tafa Boat

577
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 6: can bring. And look, there's there's obviously some changes with

578
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 6: his team.

579
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 4: And I will.

580
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 6: Say this, despite everything that we just said, the Lions

581
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 6: do have some work to do in free agency and

582
00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 6: they're gonna still need to bring some veterans in. You

583
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 6: have to hope that that it's that it's price meeting,

584
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 6: you know what this this player can ultimately do for

585
00:32:58,960 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 6: your team. But there's a lot of this roster right now.

586
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 6: But back to your original point, I have heard good

587
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 6: things about the way that he's presented himself and the

588
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 6: ideas that he has and obviously he and Dan Campbell

589
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 6: clicked very quickly together. So it's an important hire. This

590
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 6: offense was really good in terms of putting up points

591
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,880
Speaker 6: last year, but it wasn't the same offense that we've

592
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 6: seen the couple of.

593
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 4: Years before that. And look, not all of that certainly

594
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 4: was John Morton.

595
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 6: It was offensive line issues which were significant. But it's

596
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 6: all got to come back together if they want to

597
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 6: get back to where they were and be a contender

598
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 6: the way they were the previous couple of years.

599
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:41,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, Mike Kafka, the passing game coordinator, PETSNG the offensive coordinator.

600
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: Andrew was here when Kevin Stefanski was here. I think

601
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:48,080
Speaker 1: he might have been here with Hank Frailey too, the

602
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: offensive line coach for the Lions, somebody I absolutely adore.

603
00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:55,280
Speaker 1: Pets Ing. Incredibly smart. He went to a small school

604
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 1: on the East Coast called Middlebury College. He's just he

605
00:33:58,760 --> 00:34:03,280
Speaker 1: has a mathematician in mind. He's a limb from the

606
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: North Turner tree, which means the running schemes. And Drew

607
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 1: always was well known for the way he thinks out

608
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: running game and things like that. Then you compliment that, well,

609
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we got high end talent here, good quarterback,

610
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 1: Gibbs Laporta, Tom and Ra, Jamison Williams and so on,

611
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: and then you put him in with Kafka. I think

612
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: this sounds pretty good for you, guys.

613
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 6: Man, Well, it feels like the things that you just

614
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 6: outlined were the things that jumped out to Dan Campbell

615
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 6: I think when he watched Arizona play, even before he

616
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 6: thought about hiring him, and then when the two had

617
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 6: a chance to get together. Because this team has been

618
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,439
Speaker 6: built around as offensive line and built around the run game.

619
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,960
Speaker 6: And as much as you might love on Rah, and

620
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 6: you might love Laporta, and you might love Jamo and

621
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 6: those guys are all terrific. They like to run the

622
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 6: ball and they like what that does for Jared Goff

623
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 6: to set him up with the play action and to

624
00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 6: have the ability to control games.

625
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 4: But part of that, even.

626
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 6: Before you get to the coach, you've got to have

627
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 6: the offensive line to do that.

628
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 4: And for a couple of years you know they'd arguably.

629
00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 6: The best offensive line in the league. And then you

630
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,760
Speaker 6: lose rat. Now you lose Zeitler, guys start to go away,

631
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,680
Speaker 6: Taylor Decker starts to break.

632
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 4: Down a little bit, and it's not the same.

633
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:21,320
Speaker 6: So you're you're putting a lot of things back together

634
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,719
Speaker 6: here and hoping that it can come together. And look,

635
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 6: I think it's it's silly to think that you're going

636
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 6: to emerge from this thing back to having the best

637
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 6: offensive line in football.

638
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 4: That's just not going to happen right now. But it is.

639
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,520
Speaker 6: The goal to come out of this thing with an

640
00:35:37,560 --> 00:35:40,360
Speaker 6: offensive line that's got an ability at times to control

641
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,680
Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage and get back to running the

642
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,840
Speaker 6: football and get back to what Petsy and Campbell both like,

643
00:35:45,920 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 6: which is play action passes, which then makes all those

644
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 6: weapons on the outside even more effective.

645
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:55,560
Speaker 1: Did did the David Montgomery trade Dan to Houston? Did

646
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: it surprise you at all?

647
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 4: No, it was brewing last year.

648
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,720
Speaker 6: You could sense that David was not happy during the season,

649
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 6: and there was nothing negative in his behavior or anything

650
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 6: like that, but there were whispers out there that if

651
00:36:09,800 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 6: this thing didn't kind of turn around and they didn't

652
00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:14,560
Speaker 6: find a way to involve him more, that he was

653
00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 6: going to want to move on. And then they were

654
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 6: kind of open about that after the season, where they said, look,

655
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,439
Speaker 6: we love David, but if David doesn't want to be here,

656
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,759
Speaker 6: then we will try to accommodate him on that. And

657
00:36:24,800 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 6: it felt for a minute like maybe things that thought

658
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 6: and David was going to be okay with this, But

659
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 6: I just don't think it ever did. And I think

660
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 6: that he wanted to go someplace where he'd have more

661
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 6: of an opportunity to carry the ball. And the problem

662
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:41,200
Speaker 6: here was it was really easy to say, and believe me,

663
00:36:41,239 --> 00:36:42,759
Speaker 6: it got said a lot. Man, we need to use

664
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 6: David Montgomery more. We need to get him on the

665
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 6: field more. The problem is when you're using him more,

666
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,880
Speaker 6: you're using Gibbs less. It Gibbs as just one of

667
00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 6: the best players in this league, and a touchdown waiting

668
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 6: to happen and taking the ball out of his hands

669
00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,080
Speaker 6: is not a great idea. That said, there does have

670
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:02,680
Speaker 6: to be a balance, and they do have to go

671
00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 6: out and find a second running back now, because in

672
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 6: this league you can't have just one. You've got to

673
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,920
Speaker 6: have multiple guys who can carry the ball, because you

674
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 6: know they've figured out that guys are just more effective

675
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 6: when you can do that. So long way of saying

676
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,200
Speaker 6: it wasn't surprising, I don't love it. I don't think

677
00:37:19,239 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 6: you get better trading at David Montgomery, but I understand

678
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 6: that as he saw his role diminished to the point

679
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 6: where he has career lows and touches and yards last year,

680
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 6: he just wanted a better opportunity.

681
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: The ley point. So I don't know, maybe it'll be

682
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 1: all Jamier Gibbs all the time, or I don't know,

683
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,040
Speaker 1: maybe they love Sioni Baki in a way no but

684
00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: none of us have them, Or maybe there's a free

685
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: agent running back.

686
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 4: He just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

687
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 6: I mean, they drafted him as a running back, but

688
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 6: he has There's no way you can go into a

689
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 6: season thinking he's going to be in my opinion, RB

690
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 6: two because he just hasn't been able to stay healthy.

691
00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,879
Speaker 6: And I just I just think the way this thing

692
00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,160
Speaker 6: is built now, Pa, you got to have two of these.

693
00:37:58,239 --> 00:38:02,359
Speaker 6: So I'm a painting a veteran running back at some point.

694
00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 6: There's a couple that came off yesterday, like Algier, that I.

695
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 4: Thought would have been a good fit. But we'll see

696
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 4: what happens.

697
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 6: Like I said, there's still a considerable amount of work

698
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 6: that I think they just they have to do just

699
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 6: because they're lacking bodies right now here, and who knows,

700
00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 6: today could be an active day as things kind of

701
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 6: settle down a little bit and then they got ten

702
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:27,439
Speaker 6: draft picks.

703
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,279
Speaker 4: As the stands right now, we'll see where that goes

704
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 4: as well.

705
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:32,800
Speaker 1: Dan Miller played by play voice for the Detroit Lions

706
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: nine to Noon with Jamiir Gibbs and I'm a fan

707
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: from Afar. Despite whin he scores four or five touchdowns

708
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,839
Speaker 1: against the Vikings in a single game. He's just phenomenal.

709
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 1: He never misses time, does he? I mean Jamiir Gibbs.

710
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: He's not super sturdy or big, but he's always available right.

711
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 6: Well, and that's part of it, certainly, And if you

712
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 6: look at him lower, he is just stacked and is

713
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 6: I mean, he is a really strong kid, and that's

714
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 6: where I think he's surprises some people with his ability

715
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 6: to not just run around you or buy you or

716
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 6: jukeq you.

717
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:12,400
Speaker 4: He can run over you.

718
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:17,360
Speaker 6: And that said, I don't think at this point that

719
00:39:17,400 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 6: he's proven that he's that guy that you want on

720
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 6: third and one or third and two, whereas Montgomery was,

721
00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:25,319
Speaker 6: So I think that that's kind of a hole that's

722
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 6: there as well. But look, Gibbs has been terrific. He

723
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 6: is I think, up there with the best running backs

724
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,799
Speaker 6: in this league. He is a guy that anytime the

725
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 6: ball's in his hands, is capable of going in distance

726
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 6: and putting up a touchdown. And he's been part of

727
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 6: what really was a historic tandem here. These guys did

728
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:48,640
Speaker 6: some things that hadn't been done before in terms of

729
00:39:48,960 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 6: scoring touchdowns in the same game and consistency and working

730
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:53,200
Speaker 6: together and things like that.

731
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 4: But it's right now.

732
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,440
Speaker 6: I think he's kind of Batman without a Robin, and

733
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 6: we've been used to having Batman and Robin here working together.

734
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:04,560
Speaker 6: And I think as good as he is, I just

735
00:40:04,640 --> 00:40:07,359
Speaker 6: find it you know, a little bit troubling right now

736
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 6: that there's not somebody else there with him. But at

737
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 6: the same time, it's really early. It's it's second week

738
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 6: in March, and there will be I'm convinced another guy

739
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 6: there that will play a significant role for this team

740
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 6: before all is said and done.

741
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: Dan, you you mentioned some members of the offensive line,

742
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 1: let's call it the Michigan Moving Company, uh gone reportedly

743
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:29,879
Speaker 1: are going to be left tackle Taylor Decker, guard center

744
00:40:29,920 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 1: Graham Glasgow released. Are they like, as long as we

745
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,520
Speaker 1: have Pine Soul, we're going to be fine. And I

746
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: know they brought in Carolinas cad Mays, he's going to

747
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,239
Speaker 1: be in the mix. I'm not real familiar. So I

748
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,960
Speaker 1: mean we got Pina Sul that's about the best in show,

749
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:50,680
Speaker 1: and now we got cad Mays, Larry Borham, Juice Scrugs

750
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: from Houston and the Montgomery deal.

751
00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:53,200
Speaker 4: Uh.

752
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:57,279
Speaker 1: It just seems from Afar like the rag now retirement

753
00:40:57,360 --> 00:41:00,000
Speaker 1: situation is still a work in progress over there.

754
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:02,200
Speaker 4: Oh it is.

755
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 6: And you know, I think you asked, is it just

756
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,840
Speaker 6: the belief that we're fine if we have today? And

757
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 6: the answers no, And they learned that last year and

758
00:41:12,080 --> 00:41:13,920
Speaker 6: you don't have to look any further than the two

759
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Speaker 6: Vikings games, and you know, not having Frank rag Now

760
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 6: in the middle of that offensive line diagnosing defenses, double

761
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 6: a gap, whatever you want to call it, was a

762
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 6: problem for this football team. And if you look back

763
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 6: at what they had done, and I just think it's

764
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,800
Speaker 6: best exemplified by looking at what happened against the Vikings.

765
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 6: If you look back at what they did in the

766
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:43,040
Speaker 6: four previous games against that defense, they had scored over

767
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:45,520
Speaker 6: thirty a game and won all four games. If you

768
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:50,040
Speaker 6: look at the two games last year, they had just

769
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:56,839
Speaker 6: a terrible time diagnosing and then dealing with everything that

770
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,359
Speaker 6: Minnesota does to you. And I think so much of

771
00:41:59,400 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 6: that wassibility before the snap, at the snap, after the snap,

772
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,760
Speaker 6: to make sure that everybody was in the right spot

773
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:10,120
Speaker 6: and communicating and dealing with all the things that they

774
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 6: show you, and then expand that out to the other

775
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,359
Speaker 6: teams in the league and figure that.

776
00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 4: Out because they see it on tape.

777
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:20,160
Speaker 6: So center and getting somebody I thought, because there's also

778
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:22,520
Speaker 6: talk maybe move Tate Ratletge over the center, which they

779
00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 6: tried for a couple of days last year.

780
00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: And then stopped.

781
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 6: I thought one of the most important things they had

782
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,719
Speaker 6: to do this offseason was to get somebody who's a

783
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,160
Speaker 6: veteran in this league who.

784
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 4: Has played.

785
00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 6: In that the middle of that offensive line was a priority,

786
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 6: and they did that. And if you look at look,

787
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,520
Speaker 6: I didn't watch every snap that cave May's had in Carolina.

788
00:42:45,960 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 4: A book on him right now.

789
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:50,279
Speaker 6: Is really good as a pass blocker, not as a

790
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 6: run blocker. I think the hope is one of the

791
00:42:53,040 --> 00:42:55,440
Speaker 6: guys that you mentioned earlier, Hank Freeley. You put him

792
00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,000
Speaker 6: in his hands and you're going to maximize.

793
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 4: What he can be. But they still need to figure

794
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: out are they going to sign.

795
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,440
Speaker 6: I don't think Borham is a starter in my mind

796
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:07,759
Speaker 6: at this point. I do think they'll add another.

797
00:43:07,560 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 4: Tackle, if it is a right tackle through.

798
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 6: The draft or another veteran they sign. I think that

799
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 6: you could see an a over it left. I think

800
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,560
Speaker 6: that's on the table. But I do think there will

801
00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:21,759
Speaker 6: be another tackle of significance, whether it's a first round

802
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:24,480
Speaker 6: pick or a high pick or something like that that

803
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:26,320
Speaker 6: is brought in that will.

804
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 4: Be your opening day starter.

805
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:31,880
Speaker 6: Maybe it's Borham, if you're pushed into that position, I

806
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 6: don't believe that'll be the case, we'll have to wait

807
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:37,719
Speaker 6: and see and keeping rat leedgic guard takes care of

808
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 6: one side, and then we'll see if they're happy with

809
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 6: the competition that they have at the other side with Mahogany,

810
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:49,000
Speaker 6: with Frasier with Scrubs and go from there. But they've

811
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 6: got considerable work to do on that offensive line. And

812
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,200
Speaker 6: I think when all is said and done, there's a

813
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 6: decent chance that you have two holdovers from last year

814
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:03,120
Speaker 6: in Ratledge, maybe three with one of those guards, but

815
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,759
Speaker 6: I think there will definitely be the clearly be two

816
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,759
Speaker 6: new starters. At a minimum, we have one of the

817
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 6: tackles and the center.

818
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:13,440
Speaker 1: Well, well, consider your former offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, and

819
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:17,200
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, yeah, he's super sharp and he did wonderful,

820
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: wonderful work with Chicago. We both can agree with that.

821
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: But like Drew Dolman retires, so they trade for Garrett Bradberry,

822
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,880
Speaker 1: all right. I mean, Garrett's not the biggest thing in

823
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,920
Speaker 1: the world, and he gets pushed around a little. But

824
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know this better than anybody, man. It

825
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,480
Speaker 1: was a terrific move for Caleb Williams due to the

826
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:40,759
Speaker 1: intangibles that go into that center quarterback relationship. That's so important,

827
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:43,919
Speaker 1: the relationship between those two and like you said about

828
00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 1: rag now getting things set up, Bradbury's very good with that.

829
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 1: So that was a good move by them. But do

830
00:44:50,560 --> 00:44:53,759
Speaker 1: you think the Bears are sitting on even bigger and

831
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:54,800
Speaker 1: better next season.

832
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,920
Speaker 6: That's a great question. I think it's one that's going

833
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:02,759
Speaker 6: to be interesting to play out. And I think you

834
00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,840
Speaker 6: can kind of throw New England in there as well

835
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 6: in kind of my line of thinking.

836
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 4: I mean, the.

837
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 6: Patriots number one, had had the easiest of schedules to

838
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 6: get what they got and the Bears was it seven

839
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:18,959
Speaker 6: or eight games that they want in the final minute

840
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 6: or two, which is great, but a lot of times

841
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:25,799
Speaker 6: those things don't last. And I think the Bear, I

842
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 6: think the Bears are are good.

843
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:28,640
Speaker 4: We're going to.

844
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,080
Speaker 6: Find out if that good continues to move in an

845
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:35,719
Speaker 6: upwards trajectory. And a lot of that, obviously is the

846
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 6: development of.

847
00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 4: The quarterback as well.

848
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,080
Speaker 6: And there were times where I looked at him and

849
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 6: he looked spectacular.

850
00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 4: There's times that I look.

851
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,880
Speaker 6: At him and for three quarters it looks like he

852
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 6: can't make the easy passes, but he makes all the

853
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:47,480
Speaker 6: tough ones.

854
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,319
Speaker 4: So I'm intrigued by Chicago. Still. Look, I think they're

855
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 4: going to be a factor.

856
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,880
Speaker 6: I don't think they're going anywhere. I just don't know

857
00:45:54,920 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 6: if we're going to see the kind of jump that

858
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:59,160
Speaker 6: you might expect from a team that made that move,

859
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 6: because the next thing you expect is you know, you're

860
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,800
Speaker 6: you're bagging on the door to get into a Super Bowl.

861
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 4: And we'll see whether or not that happens. But that

862
00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 4: was a great year, and they've they've done.

863
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:14,839
Speaker 6: Some work changing some things around so far this year

864
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 6: and signed some guys and and I'm glad Max Crosby

865
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 6: didn't end up there, which I kept hearing he was

866
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:21,319
Speaker 6: going to.

867
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,120
Speaker 4: But we'll see what happens.

868
00:46:24,160 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 6: Just sometimes I think when you have a year that

869
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 6: feels like everything breaks your way, it's tough to duplicate that,

870
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 6: which is what we saw with them last year with

871
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 6: all those close victories. Full marks for doing it, yep,

872
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 6: but it's tough to sustain. Now you've got to kind

873
00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 6: of take the next step where you're doing it for

874
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:45,640
Speaker 6: four quarters instead of figuring out a way to come

875
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 6: back and win a game in the final five or

876
00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:47,800
Speaker 6: six minutes.

877
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: A man last two for Dan Miller, the box for

878
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Alex Sanzeloni's become a buck. What do

879
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:54,480
Speaker 1: you make of that?

880
00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:56,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, tough one.

881
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 6: Love d Alex watched him kind of go from a

882
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:07,399
Speaker 6: player here that frustrated people because he missed a lot

883
00:47:07,440 --> 00:47:09,560
Speaker 6: of tackles which might have been a byproduct of not

884
00:47:09,640 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 6: having much talent around him, to a fan favorite and

885
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 6: a captain and a leader. But there just comes a

886
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 6: point where teams have to weigh a player's age and

887
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 6: a player's salary versus what that player thinks their salary

888
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 6: should be, and if they can't meet, then they end

889
00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:33,440
Speaker 6: up moving on. And that's what happened with Alex. I

890
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,719
Speaker 6: purely think it was a salary thing and that they

891
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 6: have other places that they're going to have to spend

892
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 6: money and maybe have to get a little bit cheaper there.

893
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 6: But I hate to see him go. Great dude, Tampa

894
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 6: will love him. It's getting a little bit closer to

895
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:49,399
Speaker 6: home for him, which I'm sure he and.

896
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 4: His wife love.

897
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 6: But again, it's a tough business in that regard. We

898
00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 6: see how much these rosters turn over, and a lot

899
00:47:57,920 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 6: of times when they turn over, it's going to be

900
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,759
Speaker 6: guys that you know can still play and guys that

901
00:48:02,840 --> 00:48:05,960
Speaker 6: you really like, and Alex certainly checks those boxes all right.

902
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: Last one, Meet Robertson has become a commander, So I'm

903
00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: going to miss those. Meet Robertson Justin Jefferson matchups twice

904
00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:15,959
Speaker 1: a year. They grew up with each other in Louisiana

905
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: and they've just had super tooth and nail battles all

906
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: of their lives. He becomes a commander and last year

907
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: around this time, lastly, I told you I love defensive

908
00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 1: tackle Roy Lopez that you guys got from Arizona. Not

909
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: the greatest take formulated by me around here in the

910
00:48:32,040 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 1: history of radio. And now he's back with the cards. Uh,

911
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: maybe you guys are saving chips to sign Trey Hendrickson

912
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,799
Speaker 1: to roll with Aiden Hutchinson. How about that? What if

913
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:42,440
Speaker 1: that happens?

914
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: I will take it.

915
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:48,160
Speaker 6: If it happens, it certainly would put a strain on

916
00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 6: some cap things, but you know what, teams figure.

917
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 4: Those things out. Look, love a meet great locker room guy.

918
00:48:56,120 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 6: One of the most enjoyable interviews you'll have make you

919
00:49:00,719 --> 00:49:03,319
Speaker 6: you'll walk away from him breathing fire just because that's

920
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 6: what he's doing.

921
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:06,919
Speaker 4: So I wish him well.

922
00:49:08,200 --> 00:49:09,719
Speaker 6: I think he had to play out of position a

923
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:13,919
Speaker 6: lot here, which was difficult for him. There's there's still

924
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 6: some pa to your point, there's still some things.

925
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 4: That have to happen. I mean, they need not.

926
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:23,120
Speaker 6: Just an edge to start opposite eight Hutchinson, they need

927
00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,960
Speaker 6: an edge to back up those two. You still have

928
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:32,360
Speaker 6: basically at this point two linebackers under contract in Barnes

929
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:36,319
Speaker 6: and Jack Campbell, and you have questions at safety where

930
00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:38,919
Speaker 6: both those guys finished last year hurt, and we still

931
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 6: don't know what Kirby's me looks like because there's so

932
00:49:41,320 --> 00:49:44,400
Speaker 6: many rumors that you know, this could be career threatening.

933
00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:47,800
