So what 20 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 4: do you think about the owners meetings? What were the 21 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 4: two biggest takeaways for you? 22 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think one of them was just sort of 23 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 3: I mean, I think the most important thing that happened 24 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: to organizationally for the Broncos was just a messaging from 25 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 3: Greg Penner and Demani Leach, primarily around the stadium project 26 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 3: at Burnham Yard and just the sort of the sense 27 00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 3: of urgency there and the sort of subtle dialing up 28 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 3: of pressure across the board, whether that's you know, Denver 29 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: Water and trying to get that, you know, as a 30 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 3: government utility. It's complicated. They're trying to relocate it. That's 31 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: the community benefits agreement process. That's you know, sort of 32 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 3: city state team all, you know, neighborhood community, all of 33 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,960 Speaker 3: the constituents, they sort of you know, it was it 34 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 3: was white pressure, but notable pressure on hey listen, like 35 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: we we have to kind of get this thing moving. 36 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 3: It a little bit quicker of a clip if we're 37 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 3: going to have a stadium built by twenty thirty one. 38 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: And then I think, you know, for all of the 39 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: there are some interesting stuff about Jonah Ellis getting some 40 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 3: marketing inside linebacker and all of that, but I think 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 3: also just the reiteration that bo Nix's is, you know, 42 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 3: sort of ahead of schedule in his rehab and it 43 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,200 Speaker 3: sounds like he'll be pretty much fully involved when they 44 00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 3: start their off season program on May fourth, let alone 45 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: sort of ready to roll when they begin OTAs in 46 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,919 Speaker 3: early June. 47 00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 2: I don't know, man pro football talks, Mike Florio seems 48 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: to paint us a different picture yesterday. 49 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: What did you make of that? 50 00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 3: Uh that at first I was like, this is a 51 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: full on April Folds, and then it seemed perhaps like 52 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 3: he maybe got April fools in some way sham. So yeah, no, 53 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 3: I mean that the Broncos are not bringing in Aaron 54 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,080 Speaker 3: Rodgers for a visit or interested in signing with him. 55 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 3: It was a little strange, And I don't, you know, 56 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 3: everybody in this industry has like a difficult job in 57 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: some way, shape or form, So I'm not you know, 58 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: you won't find me too often like bagging on people 59 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 3: that are trying to do a good job and be 60 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 3: right about. 61 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: Stuff and all that. 62 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 3: But just the fact that it was sort of rooted in, 63 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: you know, bo Nick's the status supposedly being up in 64 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 3: the air for week one was sort of wild thing 65 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 3: to put in print, considering we just literally there in Arizona, 66 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:06,520 Speaker 3: had had people tell us on the record that he 67 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 3: was good to go pretty much now, and that the 68 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: offseton program wasn't gonna be a. 69 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 5: Problem at all. 70 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 4: When when you think about some of the comments made 71 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 4: down there, and it was interesting to hear them, and 72 00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 4: especially I thought interesting to hear Sean talk about some 73 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 4: of the free agent acquisitions or lack thereof. He does 74 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 4: not like the phrase, you guys, ran it back, Let's 75 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 4: run it back. He is pretty obvious he doesn't like that. 76 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 4: But he went out of his way also, and we 77 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 4: all know Sean from time to time, we'll do that 78 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 4: to make a point. He went out of his way 79 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 4: to say that JK. Dobbins was the first choice for 80 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 4: the Broncos in terms of coming back and playing running back. 81 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 5: What did you think of that statement? 82 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was super interesting and he and then I 83 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 3: think the thing that he said he said above everybody else. 84 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 3: And then he said, I know that will anger some people, 85 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 3: and I don't know who it would anger. I guess 86 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 3: maybe there's fans that just don't believe that j Kdavians 87 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: will stay healthy for a whole year. But there's no denying. 88 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 3: Like the work that Dobbins did or the first half 89 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 3: of the season, I mean, he was really good. All 90 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 3: the metrics, the eye test, everything suggested he was one 91 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 3: of the better backs in the league. The issue at 92 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 3: hand is just he's never played more than fifteen games, 93 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: and I think thirteen is the number sort of since 94 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: his rookie year. He's missed more than half of the 95 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 3: regular season games in his career. And obviously he wasn't 96 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: available to the Broncos in the postseason, though he would 97 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 3: have been in the Super Bowl. So yeah, I mean 98 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: they were involved in you know, they asked about Etn 99 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 3: at the outset of free agency, but it was pretty 100 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 3: clear pretty quickly that the price was going to get 101 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 3: out of hand, at least to the Broncos. And then 102 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 3: once New Orleans was involved, like he wanted to go 103 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 3: to New Orleans too, So I think, like, aside from that, 104 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: I don't think they were like across the board, and 105 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 3: particularly at running back, we're not enamored with the free 106 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 3: agent market. And on top of that, and you know this, Dave, 107 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: I mean, you know what happens when you're familiar with 108 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: guys that are in your building and you know who 109 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 3: they are and what they are. Sure that's that's how 110 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 3: they feel about a lot of their guys, and Dobbins 111 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: in particular, I mean They raped all year last year 112 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: about what his presence did for the team, not just 113 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 3: on the field, but in the locker room, in the 114 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 3: meetings and all of that. And so you are weighing 115 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 3: what you know about the player and that you know 116 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 3: you're going to get that impact from him against what 117 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:32,919 Speaker 3: you can see on tape of everybody else, but also 118 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 3: just the unknown of what they bring beyond you know, 119 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: sort of physical ability. And so they love JK. Dobbins. 120 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 3: They've made no secret of that, and so I don't 121 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 3: think it was a big surprise to be wound up back. 122 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: In Denver parkar Gabriel joining us. 123 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,840 Speaker 2: So are you, I guess ultimately, as we were watching 124 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: this whole thing play out, seventeen guys that were whether 125 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 2: it's brought back to free agents or signed as restricted 126 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 2: free agents? Were you a bit surprised that they did 127 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: that or they based on those comments, you say, well, 128 00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 2: actually that makes a lot of sense based on where 129 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: they thought the free agency class was. 130 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:08,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean, I'm not going to sit here and 131 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 3: say I wasn't surprised at all. Like I was a 132 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 3: little surprised. I think everybody knew and they've put their 133 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 3: money literally where their mouths are in terms of thinking 134 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: that they have a roster that's in a really good 135 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: place over the last eighteen months. 136 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 5: I mean they've. 137 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 3: Extended core guys, you know, the Nick Benito's and Zach Allens, 138 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,799 Speaker 3: the all pro types. They've extended a bunch of starters 139 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 3: who are role players, Malcolm Broach, Luke Wattenbird, Will Watts 140 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: on the bye week last year. So the continuation of 141 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 3: that was not a big surprise, but I think just 142 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,600 Speaker 3: the extent of it, and the fact that they ended 143 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 3: up sort of almost exclusively doing that before obviously swinging 144 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 3: the big trade for Jalen Wanda, Like, the extent of 145 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 3: it I think was a little surprising. The general blueprint 146 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:56,000 Speaker 3: was not all right. 147 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: Last one I have for you just wanted to We 148 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 2: haven't had a chance to Chad since the Agile trade. 149 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: What did you think of that deal? 150 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 2: Did you think was relatively fair under the circumstances, And 151 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: what are some of your expectations of what he'd been able. 152 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: To do here for the Broncos. 153 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: The I think he's going to do a lot, first 154 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 3: of all, I mean, he's you know, he played so 155 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 3: much the last two years, especially in Miami. He played 156 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 3: outside so much, and I think he will in Denver too, 157 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,960 Speaker 3: but just the ability to move him around the formation, 158 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 3: use him in the slot, use him in a lot 159 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 3: of different ways, use them probably to help control numbers 160 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: in the running game. I mean, it's going to be 161 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: awfully difficult to you know, stack a box against Denver 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 3: in early downs if you've got a guy with the 163 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: sort of true ability to. 164 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 5: Take the top off. 165 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 3: So I think he helped in a number of ways offensively. 166 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 3: And then you know, I think to me, like personally, 167 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 3: like I think they maybe paid a little bit of 168 00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 3: a premium for him, Like I do think it was 169 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: it was a pretty high acquisition cost. The thing about that, though, 170 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,239 Speaker 3: you got to know this, like when when the supply 171 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 3: is low, like the price goes up. And they weren't 172 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 3: looking for just a guy, like, they were looking for 173 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 3: a guy that checked a lot of boxes. And that's 174 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 3: what they think they have in Jale and Waddell. He's 175 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 3: a really good player, but he's also. 176 00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 5: Like he's a tough guy. 177 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: He's good in the locker room. He's not, you know, 178 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: high maintenance as a person in the locker room. 179 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 5: Even though he's a receiver. 180 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: That gets the ball a lot, certainly by wide receiver standards. 181 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 3: He's not high maintenance or hasn't been in his career. 182 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 3: So you just Sean said, he lumped it into all 183 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 3: of the other stuff. And he said all of the 184 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 3: other stuff was ten ten, ten ten and on everybody 185 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 3: they talked to. And that to me is like when 186 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 3: you're talking about the caliber of the player and all 187 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 3: of that stuff and you have a roster like the 188 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,559 Speaker 3: Broncos and you think they're ready to compete and you're 189 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: just trying to get over the hump. I mean, that's 190 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 3: that's when you say, hey, listen, we'll pay a little 191 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: bit more for him. And they did, and I think 192 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 3: they're thrilled about it. 193 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 2: Oh he's great stuff. Parker really appreciate the time. Man, 194 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 2: Thank you. 195 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll talk again. 196 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: Appreciate a Parker sounds good? Then he's absolutely right. 197 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 2: I don't to the point in discussion we had prior 198 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 2: to the trade, you weren't going to just trade for anybody. 199 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 2: They had specific things they were looking for. It wasn't 200 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:05,719 Speaker 2: just play on the field, it was also the fit 201 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: in the locker room. 202 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 1: Did you hear Sean? 203 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 2: We played the cut of Sean talking about the acquisition 204 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,160 Speaker 2: of Jalen what he does. He was also asked about, 205 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 2: like where he's played. I thought this was interesting. I 206 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:18,440 Speaker 2: wanted to play it for you, especially as a wide receiver. 207 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 6: So if you guys said, where does he play man, 208 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,359 Speaker 6: He's played everywhere. I've seen him outside as a tremendous 209 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 6: route runner inside the route tree is pretty expansive. I'd 210 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: say I just said it. The best thing that I 211 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 6: think he does is he's explosive. He's dynamic. A lot 212 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 6: of times the guys run fast, but I think he 213 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:43,719 Speaker 6: sinks his hips in transition. So I think you'll see 214 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 6: him playing inside in the slot, You'll see him play outside. 215 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,680 Speaker 6: We'll have speed packages that'll feature you know, we'll have 216 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 6: you know how, We're not just going to have And 217 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 6: I know someone's getting ready to ask me is he 218 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 6: receiver one or two? 219 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 5: And so that we don't have. We just played. 220 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 6: Different packages and try to try to give those guys 221 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 6: the things that they do well. 222 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: I always get a chuckle out of that, because Sean, 223 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: you must. 224 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 5: Have seen you in the back of the pack with 225 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 5: your hand raised. 226 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: So is he wide receiver? 227 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 5: Wide? 228 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,439 Speaker 1: He's like, don't even ask, or do you know you 229 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,600 Speaker 1: want to ask, saved you from you that's right. What 230 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: do you think about that? 231 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 3: Oh? 232 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 4: I think he's being honest, right, I mean, there's there 233 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: have been plenty of fast guys, and some of those 234 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 4: fast guys have played in the league that could not 235 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 4: get into an out of their breaks. They were long 236 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 4: striders and so it took them. As fast as they were, 237 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: it was relatively easy for world class defensive backs to 238 00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 4: read what they were going to run because it took 239 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 4: them forever to break down. As he said, sink his hips, 240 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 4: which is a you know, sort of a phrase that 241 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: you look for in receivers, their ability to sink their 242 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 4: hits hips and get into an out of their break. 243 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 4: And Waddle's a really fast guy that has plenty of 244 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,680 Speaker 4: quick twitch and ability to get in and out of 245 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 4: his brakes, which makes him a nightmare to try to 246 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: cover defensively. That and I think the Broncos have been 247 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 4: oppressed going back and looking at some of his work 248 00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 4: with his ability as a route runner. There have been 249 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 4: plenty of fast guys that are you know, just haven't 250 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,520 Speaker 4: been great at running routes. What they're great as is 251 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 4: is lining up and running past you. Well, the other 252 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: guys are fast too in the league, right, So I 253 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 4: think he's a I think he's a big time addition, 254 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 4: and I think everything that's been said about him, even 255 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 4: Ryan mentioned, it'll help the Broncos in the running game 256 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 4: absolutely absolutely, because if you're going to try to bring 257 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: a safety down and commit to the eight man front, 258 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 4: then that tells you that your guys on the outside 259 00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 4: defensively better be pretty good because they're going to be 260 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 4: singled up if you if you want to stay and 261 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 4: help those guys on the outside and play shell coverage, 262 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 4: palms and play whatever you two for eight whatever, then 263 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 4: in essence, that's the seven man front, and the Broncos 264 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: have to be able to run the ball against the 265 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 4: seven men front. 266 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: If you were going to bet a certain amount of 267 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 2: money on predominantly where he'll line up, I mean, he 268 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 2: said he's gonna pay outside, he's gonna play slot, We're 269 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 2: gonna have some speed packages. I mean, there's gonna be 270 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: a lot of things that they can do with him. 271 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 2: And I think you brought it up when this first happened, 272 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: so I remember asking you, like, okay, I mean that 273 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 2: some of the designs of ways to get him the 274 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 2: ball and being able to get him in space, you're 275 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 2: gonna be a move He's gonna be a move guy 276 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 2: a lot Like there's gonna be a lot of movement 277 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 2: with him. He played last year, and I say specifically 278 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,040 Speaker 2: the last two years, especially with Tyreek Hill there predominantly 279 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 2: outside Like he played some slot, but he was an 280 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 2: outside receiver, no doubt. So when Sean looks at him 281 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 2: and he's talking about all the options, what do you 282 00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:02,880 Speaker 2: think he's I think I think. 283 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,280 Speaker 4: He'll move more this year with Roncos than he has 284 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 4: the last couple of years in Miami. And by move more, 285 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 4: I think he'll move in terms of his original alignment 286 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 4: and his split and he'll move more at times. 287 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 5: So if you're going to move him, then he has 288 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 5: to play Z. 289 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 4: I think I think when I when I think of him, 290 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 4: I think of an X. X is a guy that 291 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: just an irregular sort of basic formation is away from 292 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 4: the tight end and away from Z. 293 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 5: And historically, over. 294 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: Years and years and years and years of football, going 295 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,240 Speaker 4: back to Bill Walsh and how he treated it, X 296 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 4: was the dude, right because you're going to get more, 297 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 4: at least back in the day, you get more. You 298 00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 4: knew more of what coverages that you weren't going to 299 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,120 Speaker 4: get with that guy because over here you've got the 300 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,719 Speaker 4: tight end and the Z, and so they can combination 301 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 4: with those two receivers with two or three defensive backs. 302 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 4: But so I think he'll play X, but I do 303 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: think he'll play some Z. You'll see him in motion, 304 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 4: You'll see him move. I think you'll probably see some 305 00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 4: of the slot. When you pay a guy like that, 306 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 4: you know you're you're now. The coaches are going to 307 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 4: be working all off season trying to come up with 308 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 4: ways to get this dude the ball. 309 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 2: He mentioned we had Parker on Greg Penner in some 310 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: of his comments with the stadium. 311 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: I thought that was one of the more. 312 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 2: Interesting things to come out of that, and it was 313 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 2: at the right at the beginning of his press conference, 314 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 2: he was asked about the stadium, and here's what he said. 315 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: First of all, a lot of work. 316 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 7: It's you know, Carrie Demani tim A lot of folks 317 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 7: from our team are spending a lot of time meeting 318 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 7: with community leaders, city council members, and you know, it's 319 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 7: an ambitious timeline that we have and we won't be 320 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 7: able to accomplish our goals in terms of timing and 321 00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 7: getting in there just by ourselves. So it's not just 322 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 7: something the Broncos are driving. 323 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 1: We've got to have a lot of support from partner 324 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: and others that are involved. 325 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:02,520 Speaker 5: With the site. 326 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 3: Has a support been so far and sort of do 327 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 3: you think you're on track where you need to be 328 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 3: in order to you know, may make an ambitious coming away. 329 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 7: Yeah, No, the support has been good and everybody I 330 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 7: think wants to do the right thing. But again there's 331 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 7: there's a lot of different parties with different interests. As 332 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 7: of now we're on track, but again it's ambitious to 333 00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 7: get to the twenty thirty one goal that we have. 334 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: A lot of different parties with different interests. What do 335 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 2: you read into that? 336 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 4: Look at the look on your face? What do you 337 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 4: read into it? Cluse so. 338 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 2: Well, I do think what Parker said was right in 339 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,440 Speaker 2: the sense that maybe not roadblocks. 340 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: That feels like a strong way to frame this. 341 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 2: But there might be some people going like, well, while 342 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: you're doing this, can you you know, can I get this? 343 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 2: And can we get this? And it's like, listen, we're 344 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 2: trying to get this thing done. Let's get this thing 345 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 2: over them because they haven't a fit. This is like 346 00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 2: the the location of interest. They haven't officially named. This 347 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: is the place the stadium's going if we realize that, right, like, 348 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 2: this is the location of interest, but they have not 349 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:12,680 Speaker 2: closed on everything. 350 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 4: No, so you're saying, you're saying you think there's a 351 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: chance the stadium would be built elsewhere. 352 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: No, I think ultimately get done. It's just it sounds 353 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 1: I heard a little bit of frustration. 354 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: I mean it. 355 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, No, No, I don't think you read that into it. 356 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 4: I think I think there probably is, has been, and 357 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 4: will be frustration in this. 358 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 5: You've got. 359 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 4: My guess is you have people that you're negotiating with 360 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: that are trying to leverage whatever they possibly can, knowing 361 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: exactly who they're doing business with. And I would guess 362 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 4: Greg Pinner, you know, I would bet on him. 363 00:16:57,440 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 5: I think he'll be more than up to the task. 364 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 4: I think he's probably dealt with that in his past life, 365 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 4: so to speak, in terms of what he has done 366 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,120 Speaker 4: business wise. But yeah, no, I think there I think 367 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 4: there will be anytime you have a project this massive, 368 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 4: it requires so many, so many different entities to be involved. 369 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:20,159 Speaker 5: And as you heard him. 370 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 4: Say, there there are several agendas here, and that I 371 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: would think is to be expected in a in a 372 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 4: situation this large. I mean, we're not talking about going 373 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 4: out and buying a car. 374 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 5: Sure, we're talking. 375 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 4: About building a multi billion dollars stadium, right. 376 00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 1: And you're you're moving Denver water. 377 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 2: I mean, there's there's there are, there are a lot 378 00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,560 Speaker 2: of things that there's some politicians probably they're saying like, well, 379 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 2: you know what's in it for me? 380 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: And that's always the case, always the case. We not 381 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,120 Speaker 4: take that comment right there and save it forever. There's 382 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 4: some politicians in it that are interested in what's in 383 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 4: it for me? That never have you said anything more 384 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 4: concise and clear in your broadcasting career. 385 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 2: Well, you're better late than never.

They 390 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: were really excited a year ago around this time, a 391 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 2: little bit later, right, So we're not. 392 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,119 Speaker 1: Quite a full year since they announced this thing. But 393 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. 394 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 2: If I'm the city of Denver, I don't I mean. 395 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: Everybody's got to do what they gotta do, but I. 396 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 2: Would not make this I just hope, I hope the 397 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 2: powers that be that are dragging their feet or making 398 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: this a little bit more difficult on the Walton Pinner 399 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 2: family to be mindful of the fact that this is 400 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: an important thing for the city and we shouldn't. I 401 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: don't know, I don't I don't like I don't like that. 402 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 2: I just I want to get this thing done. I 403 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:53,120 Speaker 2: want to I want to go, I want to take 404 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 2: off the preferred site stuff. 405 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: I want to make it official. 406 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: I want to get this thing on track and headed 407 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 2: in the direction of getting the new state up. 408 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: I would be very, very surprised aka shocked if the 409 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 4: preferred site is not where the the stadium will be built. 410 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 4: And again I think, yeah, ideally you'd like you'd like 411 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 4: everything to go smoothly. I'm sure Greg and carry would. 412 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 4: But I'll tell you what will happen if. I mean, 413 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 4: if this is held up for any significant amount of time, 414 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:34,480 Speaker 4: it will become public in terms of why it has 415 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 4: been held up and who actually is holding it up 416 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,840 Speaker 4: and what's the reason you're holding it up. 417 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 5: Now, if you. 418 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 4: Talk about being on a losing side from a public 419 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: perception standpoint, that's the side that you want to be on. 420 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 4: That's that is not a winning strategy. I'm not saying 421 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 4: everybody has to bend over and grab their ankles. 422 00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 5: I'm not saying that at all. 423 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 4: Business is business, and you want to try to cut 424 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 4: as good a deal as you possibly can. Everybody wants 425 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,360 Speaker 4: that when they enter into any sort of formal negotiations, 426 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 4: no matter what you're negotiating about. 427 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 5: I get that. 428 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 4: But as you said, this is the broncos it's an 429 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 4: important transaction. I think it will get done. And again 430 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: I would not want to be holding the rope on 431 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 4: the wrong end of this, like I'm the reason that 432 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 4: this is not going to happen. 433 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 2: Perfectly said, all right, be calling before right now, three 434 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: h three someone three eighty five eighty five, Color four 435 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: three oh three someone three eighty five eighty five, and 436 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: you're gonna want a pair of tickets to the Rockies 437 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: home openy Saturday game against the Phillies at Course Field. 438 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 2: Of course, we're excited to be down there tomorrow before 439 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 2: the home opener, but you get to go to the 440 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: Saturday game.

So I'm excited to talk to you about that, 517 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 2: about how long Rockies fans should hang in there with 518 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 2: new processes, because sometimes new processes do take a little 519 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 2: bit of time. 520 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,639 Speaker 1: You've been doing the same thing for how long, Right, 521 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: it's been the. 522 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,640 Speaker 2: Same guys, and even when it's not exactly the same 523 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 2: people in charge, you just tend to shuffle around the 524 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: people internally to I mean, it's still the same messaging, 525 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 2: it's still the same processes. So that's what I'm excited 526 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:37,800 Speaker 2: to see, all right, at least you trying something different, 527 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: see if it works out. Did you hear Sean Payton 528 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 2: talking about his experience with flag football, Yes, buddy, such 529 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,200 Speaker 2: a great such a great reference here to Home Alone. 530 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,520 Speaker 1: Here's what he said that was. 531 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 6: I think this you remember the Home Alone series and 532 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 6: McAuley culkin was insight. Well, McCauley culkin was the international team, 533 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 6: and I felt like CoA carbone eye were the two 534 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 6: guys out side getting hit in the head of the iron, 535 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 6: gripping over the garden hose. It's it's an entirely different game. 536 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 6: It was kind of cool to be around those guys 537 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:11,760 Speaker 6: like that was a big deal. I think when this 538 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 6: first was announced, there was this feeling there would be 539 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 6: ten NFL players on that roster, and I'll be surprised 540 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 6: if there's one. I just think, I think we have 541 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 6: plenty of players that can acclimate, but it's going to 542 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 6: take a month or two. And then if you're one 543 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 6: of those players, do you have that month or two 544 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 6: if you're training for that, you're not training, you know, 545 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 6: And so I just think it's it's in a good spot. 546 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,679 Speaker 4: His mind works so fast, yep, that he formulates what 547 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 4: he wants to say, and that he's already said it 548 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,679 Speaker 4: in his mind. So he's on to another point, but 549 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,680 Speaker 4: it hasn't finished, it hasn't come out of his pie hole, right, 550 00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 4: So I mean he's. 551 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 5: Yeah, that was funny. Though. 552 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,440 Speaker 4: When I when I heard that today, I was like, yeah, 553 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 4: that's that's a pretty good, pretty good announce. 554 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: I mean, is what it felt like right watching that, 555 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 2: And that has to be a bit humbling for a 556 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 2: guy that has coached as long as he has to 557 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 2: be like, yeah, I know football, I mean I know football, 558 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:11,800 Speaker 2: and then you get out there and you're like, I 559 00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 2: don't know this football, not not really, even if you 560 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 2: understand the rules, and he spent a lot he talked 561 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 2: about he spent a lot of time learning the rules, 562 00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:21,479 Speaker 2: but it just played different. 563 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 4: We have plenty, we have plenty of athletes that can 564 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 4: go compete in flag football and do great. So I 565 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,159 Speaker 4: would tend to I have never been really in favor 566 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,360 Speaker 4: of NFL guys playing when it was announced that. 567 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 5: It was going to be a sport in the Olympics. 568 00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,399 Speaker 4: We've got plenty of athletes that will tear up I 569 00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 4: think the rest of the world in that regard, so 570 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 4: let them go. 571 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 2: But you know, to his point, because I remember when 572 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 2: it was announced and we talked about it, it was like, well, gosh, 573 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 2: of course NFL players would represent better than I mean, 574 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 2: you're right, maybe NFL teams not flag though apparently not, 575 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 2: and I'll be the first to admit it, it looked different. 576 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 5: It's like, here's the thing. It's like saying. 577 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,520 Speaker 4: Because a lot a lot of teams will say this 578 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 4: every single year in the offseason. We've won this seven 579 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:18,960 Speaker 4: on seven tournament, We've won that seven on seven tournament. 580 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 5: And while I think there is benefit. 581 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:28,680 Speaker 4: Some benefit to seven on seven, seven on seven, competitively, 582 00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 4: I do not think there's tremendous benefit from getting the 583 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,479 Speaker 4: team ready to play, because it's not you know, if 584 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: you're not careful, your quarterback can get into very very 585 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,640 Speaker 4: bad habits, very lazy habits. Your receivers can get into 586 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 4: bad habits in terms of release points. So no flight football. 587 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 4: I can see where Sean would be like, wow, if 588 00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 4: you're getting ready for this, so you're not getting ready 589 00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 4: to play in the. 590 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 1: NFL one hundred percent you. 591 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 2: I don't know if we talked about Tom Brady after 592 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 2: the fact saying that they should change the rules to 593 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,320 Speaker 2: align more with NFL or with with with football, as 594 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 2: he like like, well, just not, you know, not not 595 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 2: as more like seven on seven where I mean, like 596 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: we've seen skeleton right where you're you're out there and 597 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 2: then you're you're you're not tackling anybody during the course 598 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 2: of OTA's or training camp, but you're running, you're running 599 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 2: plays where it's an offense versus defense. But there's not 600 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 2: the extra added thing of well, if the ball is 601 00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 2: hiked to one quarterback and he hands it to another 602 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 2: quarterback and then that quarterback can run, they. 603 00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,400 Speaker 5: Have jumped it up a little. 604 00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, they have jumped it up a little, but I 605 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 4: mean for people to want I mean, I would not 606 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 4: be in favor. Let let seven on that flag football. 607 00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 4: Let those rules stand. You're not trying to you're not 608 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 4: trying to turn flag football into a seven on seven 609 00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 4: competition that we see when you go see NFL training 610 00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,320 Speaker 4: camp and there's on Skelly. I mean, that's a That's 611 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 4: what I'm saying. That's a totally different sort of thing. Yeah, 612 00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 4: you got to hike it to a guy and he 613 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 4: can hand it off to a guy who can then. 614 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 5: Throw it in you know, the run it Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 615 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,960 Speaker 5: But I'm all for a lot. 616 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: Of people that for whatever reason wouldn't maybe get a 617 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 4: chance to go play in the NFL. Let let them 618 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:26,640 Speaker 4: tear up flag football nationally. I mean, who would be 619 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 4: their biggest competitor? What country right now off the top 620 00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,480 Speaker 4: of your head, great question, We really don't know.

I don't think you 678 00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 4: can count Yukon out at all with that coach and 679 00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 4: how they were able to come back, and they've got 680 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 4: championship pedigree. This will be three final fours in four years, 681 00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 4: right for Hurley and then Illinois I've liked. I didn't 682 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 4: know much about them, and I know they didn't have 683 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,240 Speaker 4: the they didn't have the toughest path in the tournament 684 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 4: to get there, but they got there. You've got Toyakovic's son, 685 00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 4: who's an excellent score, They've got size inside. I mean, 686 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:45,440 Speaker 4: I just think it's two hllacious matchups. 687 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:46,680 Speaker 1: And tells you everything. 688 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: By the spread, I mean Illinois minus one and a half, 689 00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,480 Speaker 2: Michigan's minus one and a half. 690 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,640 Speaker 1: And honestly, I've been on Arizona. I know you have to. 691 00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: You pivoted a little bit once you found out that 692 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,720 Speaker 2: I liked Arizona, But I've been on Arizona the entire time. 693 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:03,320 Speaker 2: Michigan's one of those teams though, if anybody's gonna knock the. 694 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 4: Michigan, it shouldn't surprise you if Michigan wins YEP, it 695 00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 4: wouldn't surprise me if Arizona wins, and I could say 696 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 4: the same thing about the other game. 697 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,640 Speaker 1: I feel like the champion comes out of that that 698 00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:13,560 Speaker 1: pair though. 699 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 4: Yeah maybe maybe. I mean, how did Illinois do against 700 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,320 Speaker 4: Michigan twice? I mean, Michigan only lost one conference game, 701 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:24,760 Speaker 4: But were the two games that Illinois played against Michigan 702 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:28,600 Speaker 4: competitive games? I don't, I don't know. Illinois is playing 703 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: really good basketball. 704 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 2: If old they lost to Michigan eighty four to seventy 705 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 2: in February. 706 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:35,960 Speaker 1: Okay, let me see what. 707 00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 5: The other I think that's it only played once. 708 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,600 Speaker 2: I think they only played once. Okay, that's all. That's 709 00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,000 Speaker 2: all I'm seeing here. So yeah, they only played once. 710 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: So in February they got beat pretty soundly by fourteen. 711 00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 5: Yeah. So where was that game? Ann Arbor? 712 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:52,880 Speaker 1: That was that was actually in Illinois? 713 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:54,280 Speaker 5: Okay, Champaign. Yeah,
