Belichick, do you know you you know 25 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 4: Belichick inside now, But things with the Patriots up until 26 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 4: this year had been a little slow to go. Nevertheless, 27 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,680 Speaker 4: whether you're getting critical or whether you're celebrating, you love 28 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 4: calling New England Patriots. 29 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 2: Games, don't you. 30 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,399 Speaker 1: Absolutely?

You gotta know 33 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: what down a distance it is, what's the time, what's 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 1: the formation, who's touch at the ball? I react to 35 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: the play, good or bad, and if it's bad, it's 36 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: gonna be bad by me. There's no homersm even though 37 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,639 Speaker 1: a lot of people do call me a homer because 38 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: I think we've had what eighty five percent of the 39 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: place be good. But Brady was here. You'll make the 40 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 1: ten to fifteen bad. So you got a lot of 41 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: good calls, but when are bad, pretty good? And uh, 42 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 1: there's nothing better calling an NFL game, You know that? 43 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:04,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? For sure? 44 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 4: What what's it like working with the scholarly Bob Soci 45 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 4: the play by play guy for the Pats, With his 46 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: with his understated ways, you guys make the perfect team 47 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 4: for Patriots Radio, at least that's how I see it. 48 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 4: What do you like calling games with Bob? 49 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: It's amazing he put so much preparation into it, and 50 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: we we're so different, we'll like completely polar opposites, like 51 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,399 Speaker 1: the odd couple. But he knows, he knows exactly what's 52 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: going on. He studies the game. This guy spends hours 53 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: upon ours the prior week just walking around taking pictures 54 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:45,119 Speaker 1: of wherever we're playing, and he sort of just digests everything. 55 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: He's always got some tag at the beginning of the game, 56 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: something important with the city that he slides in there. 57 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: But boss mcgreat, We've done five Super Bowls. I did 58 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: one with Kill Santos, So yeah, we had we had 59 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: wherever a really good run. And it starts to feel like, boy, 60 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: it was the end the two back to back forward 61 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 1: seasons and now we're back. Baby, it feels like we're 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: back at it again. 63 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 4: Scott Zolek was a quarterback in the NFL for almost 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 4: a decade. What what are some traits Drake may possesses 65 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 4: that potentially can sustain and lead to not just being good. 66 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: But being great. 67 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: He's super competitive. First of all, I played against his dad, 68 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: Mark Bay and college. He went to Carolina, I went 69 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: to Maryland. And he sees the field really well. And 70 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040 Speaker 1: let's say a second offense coordinator in two years with 71 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Alice Van Pelt a year ago running the West Coast, 72 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 1: and I think he's running a much more difficult offense 73 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: with Josh McDaniels. I was in that offense and it's 74 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: I mean it's a mental game. He's tough, he knows 75 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: was a run and man. When he takes off, it's 76 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: it's sort of the seft of running. It's straight up 77 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: and down. Doesn't look like he's fast, but that kick 78 00:03:58,200 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: to turn a quarter man and it gives you have 79 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: another weapon. Uh. He's a great deep paul for Art Scott. 80 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 4: Did you did you in any way get to know 81 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell when he was drafted by 82 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 4: the Pats back in two thousand and eight. 83 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: I did, Uh. I studied for the far love what 84 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: he's doing. Uh. He was in and out so quick, 85 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: which was odd. I think drafted him. I think in 86 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: the third round right away he got cut less of 87 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: a year so Uh, but he found he found his pitch. 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: We had coaching football fan's for sure. 89 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 4: What Speaking of Vikings coaches, Scott Zolak is our guest 90 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 4: nine to nohim, What what was it like working with 91 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 4: Brian Flores when he was there. I mean, Brian's a calculated, 92 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 4: cold blooded customer, isn't he. 93 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 1: I would always be out on the road when we 94 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 1: go on the road, we hit one of those dive 95 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: bars on the road in a back corner where it's dark, 96 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: he would you would be able to see shadow'shay. Uh 97 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: uh uh, who's another one? We had another coach, Brendan 98 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: was Brendon Daily and uh, yeah, Brendan Dailey And uh, 99 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: of course you always see the blood cold killer right there. 100 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 5: Uh. 101 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: He was so good at cold defenses and flicks it. 102 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: And when when coach turned over to the French coordinator 103 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: job at him, uh, you know, we got better. We 104 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: we blitzed more. We went on to win another Super Bowl. 105 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember that last quarter against the Rams. 106 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: Sat he sat it down bron floors. He says, hey, 107 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: we need fifteen good calls and this is a ball 108 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,599 Speaker 1: game that's amazing, Like Bill knew it. And it was 109 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: fifteen fifteen plays to win the game. He said, be 110 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: on it, gets your call ready, be ready to go. 111 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: And uh, he's the leader in his players love it. 112 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 4: I know that Scott, you know this better than anybody. 113 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 4: But when when you have a Super Bowl, all right, 114 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 4: an extra time to plan you know, of course, of 115 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,280 Speaker 4: course of Ray Bowl, and the coaches are going to 116 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 4: look back at as much as they can from the 117 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: Seahawks season. Well, there was a play in the third quarter, man, 118 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: where now granted the Vikings got shut out by Seattle, 119 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 4: but it was a real, relatively close game into the 120 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 4: second half before a pick six to Ernie Jones, and 121 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: the Patriots ran a play where they had seven across 122 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: the line of scrimmage. And it's the exact play the 123 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 4: Vikings ran against Darnold earlier in the season and sacked 124 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 4: him and the Patriots got to him too. So I 125 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,359 Speaker 4: mean that was like a Flores special that was borrowed 126 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 4: for the Super Bowl. 127 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: Copycat league, Man, that's what you did. He studied the film. 128 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: We have four former head coaches for our staff. They 129 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 1: worked really well together. Like that's the biggest difference. Everybody 130 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,239 Speaker 1: talks about tray Day. It's Mike Frabel. He sets the culture, 131 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: He sets the tone of the building. His energy is amazing. 132 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: It's a sexious. He works really well with a staff. 133 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,520 Speaker 1: He gives them a lot of credit when things get done. 134 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 4: Hey, Scott, what recently, actually yesterday, What do you think 135 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: about the Ravens rejecting the Max Crosby trade? 136 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: Did they did they not know he was hurt right 137 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: coming off Beniscus surgery? Like what what did you expect 138 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: him to be at that's the computing part to be, Like, 139 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,159 Speaker 1: I don't know if somebody got cold feet on that one. 140 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 1: It's weird because this really screws the Raiders. The Raiders, 141 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: they just had sixty million dollars to the center, so 142 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: all mack, some money came off the books and now 143 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you knows money to spend. Now 144 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: they got to like play nice and say, cause we 145 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: can't hit under the cap and renegotiate. Wow, Max, Max 146 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: holds on the cards down. Yeah, screws the Raiders good. Yeah. 147 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: And and you know, I don't know how good Raymond 148 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: Jones is. You know, we were in NFC territory. I 149 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 4: know he's decent and he just got paid a little bit. 150 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 4: But like Raymond Jones left because they thought they had 151 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: Max Crosby. 152 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: True, true, And I don't know much about Draymond. Like 153 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 1: he sacked Drake By twice for two different teeths, so 154 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: he played for he played for Titans and uh for 155 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: the raven kid. I really don't remember much about it. 156 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:53,920 Speaker 1: You know, when you stud when I study the defense, 157 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: I know the corners, I know the safeties, I know 158 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: the Bill linebacker. The kings become so rotational, you know 159 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: I'm talking of You see five guys come off, five 160 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: go on, you allow them to substitute, and it's that 161 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 1: whole back and forth. I can't keep track of which 162 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 1: edgeky of which unless it's mouth Garrett. Yeah, I'm gonna 163 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: not remember some of those. 164 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: Yeah. 165 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 4: The Scott Zolac, analyst for the Patriots Radio Network nine 166 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 4: to noon with a Football Covenant catchup. The Minnesota Vikings 167 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 4: are at Gillette Stadium next year.

There's an incident on the boat 209 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,040 Speaker 1: before he even came up here last string, right, and 210 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: since the phone call is made, he got his butt 211 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: on a flight, got up here, and he was nothing 212 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: but a complete leader, a lock still guy, energy guy, 213 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: pumping up everybody on the sideline. They loved him, Mike 214 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: Raba loved him. When your money goes up to make 215 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: it twenty six twenty seven and you just don't have 216 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,559 Speaker 1: the burst you had, yeah, you know. Problem problem is 217 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,839 Speaker 1: he had to be so much better at all of 218 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: the guys than he was. But you know, in the 219 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: playoffs it was very limited production, so the ability to 220 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: separate it f zone. He's a zone chilling man. He 221 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 1: is so good against zone. But we loved having it. 222 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 6: Man. 223 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 4: I wish you could be back last one here for 224 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 4: Scott Zolak, lead analyst for the Patriots radio network. You 225 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 4: mentioned Sam Darnold, all right, And as as I said earlier, myself, 226 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 4: the producer Nordo, and a bunch of people in this market, 227 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 4: Man were fans of the way you and Bob call games, 228 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 4: and we talk about it on this nine to noon 229 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,319 Speaker 4: radio show. So I listened to you and Bob call 230 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 4: a fair amount of the Super Bowl, and you know, 231 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 4: despite the outcome, you absolutely were expecting Sam Darnold to unravel, 232 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 4: and he nearly did. I mean, you were into that, man, 233 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 4: You were looking for it because you knew what you 234 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: were looking for, and it almost got there, but it didn't. 235 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 2: Is that a fair assessment? 236 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,839 Speaker 1: Fair assessment? Quarterback hits? I do think we're going to 237 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,720 Speaker 1: go after him and give your problems. That's where he's uncomfortable. 238 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 1: There were three to five pros in that first half. 239 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: If our guys just turned to look at the ball 240 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: because they were ready to hip pocket, and ball basically 241 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,200 Speaker 1: hit our guy in the back of the helmet. I'm like, 242 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 1: he's chunked today, and he was. This first half was 243 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: a bad a half a football at a Super Bowl 244 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 1: that you can watch. We were looking at some of 245 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,160 Speaker 1: the stats. I remember asking a Marcapello or stack guy, Hey, 246 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: what's Farnal right now? He was four seventeen at one 247 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: point and that first half, but Walker, that defense carried him. 248 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: Man's that's what one they gave. It's sort of like 249 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: the one peat one up Devi when his arm was 250 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 1: shot wayde Tilimson.

When we 341 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 3: do our long form stuff, but we've kind of perfected 342 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 3: the short form you know, clips as well, because we're 343 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 3: a production company that started doing sports. 344 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 4: I love that Now locally, we have a former teammate 345 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 4: here at KFAM Darren Dougie Wolfson. 346 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 2: Doogie is about as good. 347 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 4: In this market, the side of Michael Russo, who covers 348 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: the wild for the athletic when it comes to sourcing 349 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 4: and just being in front of a lot of things 350 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 4: with a lot of different sports teams. BK's like that 351 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 4: in Denver Brandon Christall at BKA Denver Sports and you know, 352 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 4: I know the Broncos are the most popular team there. 353 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 4: But I caught this little video clip that you did 354 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,360 Speaker 4: a few days ago. I think you made five predictions. 355 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 4: At least two of them hit, but the J three 356 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 4: three it was three yeah, well yeah, three out of 357 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 4: five and the other two wow. I think I was 358 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 4: half right on right. Well yeah, sorry to cut you off. No, 359 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 4: you were allowed on the JK Dobbins re signing with Denver, 360 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 4: and I'm not saying I didn't think it would happen, 361 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 4: but I mean you got loud about it. 362 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: Clearly. 363 00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 4: The background or sourcing was ten of ten and he 364 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 4: re signed, so nice work on that. I didn't realize 365 00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 4: how good he was last year for the Broncos until 366 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 4: he got hurt. 367 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, he was clearly. 368 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 3: The most consistent part of their offense, only because bo 369 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 3: Nicks was so up and down throughout games a lot, 370 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,679 Speaker 3: and then obviously so good in the fourth quarter throughout 371 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: so many of their wins that you know, it often 372 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 3: overshadowed the kind of pedestrian if not even disappointing first 373 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 3: through third quarters. 374 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,440 Speaker 6: At times that Bo had And R. J. Harvey is 375 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 6: a rookie running back. 376 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 3: We know that rookie running backs it's easy for them 377 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 3: to get on the field, but for them to have 378 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,959 Speaker 3: really big success that doesn't necessarily always happen, you know, 379 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 3: unless they're just getting fed the rock consistently. But then 380 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 3: once Dobbins goes down after that foot injury against the Raiders, 381 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: then Harvey kind of took off because they had to 382 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,359 Speaker 3: utilize him more and saw good he was after the catch, 383 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,480 Speaker 3: and so Dobbins continues to call all these injuries fluky. 384 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 3: And it was funny because week over a week last year, 385 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 3: somebody brought up, like, you know, your injury prints, like 386 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 3: I'm not injury prone it's like I've had a few injuries. 387 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 6: They're like, okay, the knock on JK. 388 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 3: Dobbins was well, He's was good at Ohio State, comes 389 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 3: to Baltimore, but gets hurt, then comes back, gets hurt again, 390 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 3: goes are the Chargers. Even you know, that really good 391 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 3: year he had, he still missed four games, including one 392 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 3: of the ones against the Broncos that Thursday night are 393 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 3: where the Denver blew the twenty one nothing lead. And 394 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 3: so he had his best career year ever two years 395 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 3: ago and was on pace for an even better year. 396 00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 3: But then he goes down in early November on that 397 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,480 Speaker 3: Thursday night or with the with the foot the hip 398 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 3: drop tackle, and then he was shut down. Basically, he 399 00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 3: thought he was ready to go even before the AFC 400 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: title game. People close close to him have told me, 401 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 3: and they were just being cautious with them, and then 402 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 3: maybe would you go in the championship game? They, I mean, 403 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: Sean Payton said it was close and we saw him 404 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 3: work out, but then there was I think a slight 405 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,880 Speaker 3: setback late in that practice week and they wanted him around. 406 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 6: You know, I don't know if he was truly playing 407 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 6: one a here, but he was one far from one 408 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 6: be or you know. 409 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,240 Speaker 3: Or two A in terms of what they're running back, 410 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 3: you know, free agent approach would look like knowing that 411 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: Harvey was obviously gonna still be here just going into 412 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 3: year two, and they wanted him to be healthy because 413 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 3: they would love for him to play seventeen games plus 414 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 3: a handful of playoff games. 415 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 4: Obviously, Hey, b K, is Sean Payton really going to 416 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 4: let Davis Web call plays? 417 00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:43,399 Speaker 6: Yes? 418 00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: Wow, I mean like the whole game. 419 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 3: Well, I think it's going to be a lot of Hey, 420 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:50,000 Speaker 3: what do you think about this here? Or you know, 421 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: you might want to look at that here. I'm actually 422 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 3: really fascinated by this all. 423 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:53,719 Speaker 6: The way around. 424 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know this for a fact by 425 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,760 Speaker 3: any means, but I'm not sure this was one hundred 426 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 3: percent Shawn's complete idea. I'm not saying that owner Greg 427 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 3: Penner said, Hey, Sewn, why don't you have Davis call plays. 428 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 3: I think that there were probably open ended conversations. I 429 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 3: do think Seawan, in the middle of the year, when 430 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 3: the offense was struggling at times, probably thought Okay, maybe 431 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 3: I should. 432 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 6: See what Davis can do. 433 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: I mean, it's what he told us at the combine, 434 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 3: and Davis is kind of a one of one type person, 435 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 3: and that you know he well, First of all, he's 436 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 3: an outstanding hockey player. As a kid in Texas, scored 437 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,240 Speaker 3: ten to eleven goals in games pretty frequently. 438 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 6: I guess he and. 439 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 3: Had a choice between playing quarterback but his dad was 440 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 3: a high school coach, or sticking with hockey, so he 441 00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 3: chose the quarterback route. But I mean, he started a 442 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 3: game in the NFL in Week seventeen a few years 443 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,199 Speaker 3: ago when the Giants actually made the playoffs. Not that 444 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,879 Speaker 3: a lot of people remember that Daniel Jones sat and 445 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: he started that Week seventeen game, and then as a 446 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: quarterbacks coach the next year for the Broncos and year 447 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: one with Sean Payton here, and he's got every game 448 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 3: plan he's ever had since high school or maybe even 449 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 3: before that, on spreadsheets and on files on his computer. 450 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 3: And you talk to the quarterbacks that they love them, 451 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 3: and talk to some defensive coaches with the team, they 452 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 3: think that he's got a really creative mind. And so 453 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: I think that Sean also is sixty two years old 454 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,919 Speaker 3: and knows that he maybe isn't as quick as he 455 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 3: was now. Once they quit getting the play in and 456 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,719 Speaker 3: knowing what's coming next and looking ahead, because at sixty two, 457 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 3: your brain may just not fire the way it once 458 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 3: did when you were fifty two or forty two. 459 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:23,600 Speaker 6: And so that's not a knock on Sean. But he 460 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 6: always talks about Bill Parcells. 461 00:21:25,440 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 3: We hear about Bill Parcells probably once a week PA 462 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 3: and Bill Parcells didn't necessarily call the plays. Now, he 463 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: made sure they were running the plays. 464 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 1: He won. 465 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 6: I think about Mike Brabel in that AFC title game. 466 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,360 Speaker 3: I'm not sure Josh McDaniels would have run it nine 467 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,560 Speaker 3: straight times coming out at halftime, but I have a 468 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 3: feeling Mike Brabel said, hey, we're running it, so just 469 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 3: keep running the football. And so I think with Sean, 470 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 3: he's gonna let Davis, I think learn on the job. 471 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 6: Now. Will it surprise me if. 472 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,719 Speaker 3: Come week two, week three, week four, they struggle and 473 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 3: Sean gives us a press conference, Well, that was Davis's call, 474 00:21:54,680 --> 00:21:56,160 Speaker 3: and kind of I've got to let him, you know, 475 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 3: run his own race kind of thing. I wouldn't be 476 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: blown away if if Sean with some of that, but 477 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 3: I think he's he can't take it back from him. 478 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 3: In Week two or three or four if they're struggling. 479 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 3: I think this is a year long thing because they 480 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: saw Davis getting all these looks, and I think that 481 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,160 Speaker 3: whether this was said publicly or is thought like, Hey, 482 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 3: if he's going to go be the head coach of 483 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 3: the Raiders and we're gonna see Davis web beat us 484 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 3: for ten straat years, Sean, we're never gonna let you 485 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: live it down. 486 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:20,520 Speaker 6: You know. 487 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,159 Speaker 3: Again, this is me reading between the lines. So I 488 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 3: don't think he would have done this for anybody. I 489 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 3: don't think you would have given it over to Joe 490 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 3: Lombardi or Pete Carmichael, his longtime assistants who are no 491 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 3: longer with the team. But I do think because of 492 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: how unique Davis is and how they view him, that 493 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,479 Speaker 3: Sean was comfortable doing this at this point in his 494 00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 3: career and it might make him better head coach because 495 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 3: he's never really had the chance to during the game, 496 00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 3: top to the defensive coach a little bit more, talk 497 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 3: to the special teams coordinators a little bit more, and 498 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 3: not be thinking about what comes next or what he 499 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,160 Speaker 3: might be seeing out there that he can suggest, Hey, Davis, 500 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: it looks like they're playing so and so a certain 501 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:53,919 Speaker 3: way or look at the room of that safety. We 502 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 3: should probably look at this. I think it could make 503 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,320 Speaker 3: him potentially a better head coach. 504 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 4: Brandon Brandon Christall BK Denver Sports. I'll learn more about 505 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 4: Guerrilla Sports via his x site at BK Denver Sports. 506 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 4: On a backtrack for a second, because you were kind 507 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 4: of going over the landscape of Denver Sports and Broncos 508 00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 4: Country and Nuggets and the Rockies will be bad again. 509 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 4: But then you kind of flippantly said, and the Avalanche, 510 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,479 Speaker 4: you know, like, are super good? Just asked the Wild 511 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 4: or as the Wild saw Sunday, you don't. You don't 512 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,919 Speaker 4: for a second thing. The Minnesota Wild can't beat the 513 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 4: Colorado Avalanche in a seven game series, do you? 514 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 3: Oh you think? I don't think that they could. I 515 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: think they definitely could. Right, it's the NHL, and you know, 516 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 3: you got obviously, you know, guys like Matt Bowldy and 517 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 3: a really good team there. There's there's a reason that 518 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,320 Speaker 3: they're right in the mix with the with the Stars 519 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 3: and even you know certainly in it. You know, the 520 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,000 Speaker 3: Adelantes can see the Wild in their rearview. They can't 521 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 3: you know, necessarily see the other teams out lest the 522 00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,960 Speaker 3: whether you know, you're talking about the Ducks and the oiler, 523 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 3: but when you're talking about eight seven points now absolutely 524 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,960 Speaker 3: could could be the beat the Abs in the seven 525 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 3: game series. And this convoluted playoffs set up with the 526 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 3: NHL where it feels like the NFL stumbles into getting 527 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,679 Speaker 3: things right all the time and the NHL gets in 528 00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 3: their own way on stuff all the time. And the 529 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 3: fact that the Avs in Round two are going to 530 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: play the Stars of the Wild. And if I'm not mistaken, 531 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: don't the Stars in Wild? Won't they play in Round one? 532 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:24,520 Speaker 2: Yes? 533 00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: Right, that's ridiculous, ridiculous, I know, but those are the rules, 534 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: men and men, so you got to follow them and do. 535 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:32,160 Speaker 2: The best you can. 536 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 4: The Wild have two games left this year with the 537 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:38,680 Speaker 4: Stars and then hopefully there's some tone setters. Now to basketball, 538 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520 Speaker 4: is this just not the Nuggets year or I mean, 539 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 4: it's a very good team. They've gotten themselves healthy. Jamal 540 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 4: Murray looks like he's playing on one leg, but he's playing. 541 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 4: Aaron Gordon just came back, Jokers MVP guy. The minute 542 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 4: the schedule comes out, you got Watson and Strather and 543 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 4: Christian Brown and so on. But for some reason they 544 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 4: just can't seem to get traction. 545 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 2: Is that fair? 546 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: Well, you say that they've gotten healthy. When you say 547 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 3: they've gotten healthy, it's been in the last couple of days. 548 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 3: Before Aaron Gordon came back the other day, they'd only 549 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 3: played thirteen games with their Pencilton starters. Which is Murray 550 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,960 Speaker 3: now finally an All Star in year ten or whatever, 551 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: but he was on that short list of best players 552 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 3: and ever be an All Star. But Murray Christian Brown, 553 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 3: who missed a bunch of times. He's never missed time 554 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 3: in his whole career, going back to you know, even 555 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:26,960 Speaker 3: as a kid in high school, college, you never missed 556 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 3: any time. 557 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 6: And so that's been an adjustment. 558 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 3: Aaron Gordon was hurt most of last year, including late 559 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, and was hurt most of this year. 560 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 3: And then Cameron Johnson, who they traded Michael Porter for, 561 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 3: he's been hurt a bunch as well. And Joker missed 562 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 3: a whole month, which is something we've never. 563 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 2: Seen a good point. 564 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 3: So they haven't been truly healthy and they're still obviously 565 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: kind of hanging around. They looked good against the Lakers, 566 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 3: closed them out, looked like garbage against the mix the 567 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 3: next night and then went and played okay, see tough again, 568 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 3: but blew a sixteen point lead. And this is the 569 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: fifth time this year which has never happened since Joker's 570 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,560 Speaker 3: been on the team, even when they weren't necessari good yet, 571 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,679 Speaker 3: where they've blown five sixteen point leads, And so it 572 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 3: has people saying, well, did you move on from Michael 573 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 3: Malone too fast? 574 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,000 Speaker 6: Was David Adaman just handled the job? I know think 575 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 6: either of those things are true. 576 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 3: I think that the message has maybe gotten stale with 577 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 3: coach Malone. I think David Adaman is a good coach 578 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 3: and is gonna become a better coach. But there are 579 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: growing pains and then you know, Peyton Watson's missed now 580 00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:23,199 Speaker 3: most of the year. So if they can put it 581 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 3: all together, okay, I like their chances to make noise 582 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 3: in the playoffs. The problem is they're currently a six 583 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 3: seed and if they goof around, they could drop into 584 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: the play in and just like we're talking about, could 585 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 3: the Wild beat the Star or the Aves or or 586 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 3: the Stars absolutely more easily? But in those playing games, yeah, 587 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: as a six or seven or eight, you're gonna get 588 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 3: two shots at it. 589 00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 6: But then you're going against the number one or two team. 590 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 3: So look, they're just a couple of games away from 591 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 3: I mean, they're a game away from being the three 592 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 3: seed also, and they're gonna see the Rockets and Kevin 593 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: Durant in town tonight and company. So they could jump 594 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 3: to the three seed here in the next day or two. 595 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,680 Speaker 3: But the t Wolves are obviously right there. I think 596 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 3: they think they might be done with it. The t 597 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 3: Wolves after that game the other day, which is so 598 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,920 Speaker 3: weird because we're used to so many March and April 599 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 3: games mattering in that series. I think they maybe have 600 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 3: one more left with the Thunder. If not, they might 601 00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 3: be done with them too. So weird scheduling. But the Nuggets, 602 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 3: if they can get healthy and still a big if 603 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 3: it's certainly a big if with guys like Aaron Gordon, 604 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,520 Speaker 3: then they will be a very, very tough out, just 605 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 3: like we saw last year where they took the Thunder 606 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 3: to seven game. 607 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,080 Speaker 4: How good is bone Nicks and how good can he be? 608 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:29,919 Speaker 4: How good is he now? 609 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 3: You remember how good Derek Carr was before he got 610 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:34,880 Speaker 3: hurt and they were going to the playoffs. 611 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 6: I think that's about how good he is now. 612 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 3: I mean, you know, the different kind of player, but 613 00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 3: like okay, he is getting his team to the playoffs, 614 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 3: and it would have been fun to see him in 615 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,880 Speaker 3: the AFC title game against the Patriots. 616 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 6: It was obviously an ugly. 617 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: Game and the weather made things almost unwatchable. And then 618 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 3: who knows what would have happened in the Super Bowl. 619 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 6: Would they have won? I don't know, would have been closer. 620 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 3: I mean, the Broncos oh lines better and the Broncos 621 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 3: defense is better than the Patriots, so that. 622 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 6: Doesn't and they would have been the Super Bowl champ. 623 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: I think that when you hear the comparisons to Drew Brees, 624 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 3: they're not the same kind of player, but they do 625 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:10,720 Speaker 3: have that same kind of supercomputer brain that Sean Payton 626 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 3: and quarterback coaches and offensive coordinators love so much, and 627 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 3: head coaches for that matter, and so he can make 628 00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 3: pretty much all the throws. He doesn't look like Josh 629 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 3: Allen or Patrick Mahomes, but the ball gets there. He's 630 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: had a couple passes in his first two years that 631 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,200 Speaker 3: have been near the top, if not I think number 632 00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 3: one in air yards on a pass to Marvin Men's 633 00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,400 Speaker 3: that travel the sixty seven air yards. I think either 634 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: against the Bengals or the Browns last year, so he 635 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 3: has a better arm to people think he's faster than 636 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,760 Speaker 3: even the Broncos realize, and he processes things really quickly. 637 00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 3: You know, going back to that game where JK. Dobbins 638 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 3: got hurt, there was video or you caught it if 639 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 3: you're watching on Amazon Prime of him yelling at Sean Payton, 640 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: get your FN personnel in here, because he just wants 641 00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:52,920 Speaker 3: things to go a little faster, because he can get 642 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,160 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage and diagnose things like so many. 643 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 6: Great quarterbacks can do. 644 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 3: So I think his ceiling is in that Drew Brees 645 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 3: level of production in a Sean offense. And his floor 646 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 3: right now is Derek Carr before the injury. And you 647 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 3: look at bow He just had a baby a couple 648 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 3: of weeks ago and there was a picture of him 649 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 3: carrying his baby girl out of the hospital, no ankle 650 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 3: brace on, no cast, no walking boot, and he said 651 00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 3: that it. 652 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 6: Was a pretty straightforward procedure with his broken ankle. 653 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:21,200 Speaker 3: So will he be in the same category, you know, 654 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 3: Sean Payton said the nexteple years is gonna be a. 655 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 6: Top five quarterback. I'm not ready to go there. 656 00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 3: But it feels like even at the top, with guys 657 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 3: like Lamar and Josh Allen and even Mahomes, we're not 658 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: putting qualifiers. And Joe Burrow, can they stay healthy? What's 659 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,440 Speaker 3: going on around him? And I don't know what it takes. 660 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: You know, Mahomes babies and is not still in his 661 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:41,880 Speaker 3: own category. You have to win to get there. And 662 00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 3: Sam Donald just won a Super Bowl. But I don't 663 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 3: think if I told you could have Sam Donald next year, 664 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 3: bon Nicks, I don't know how many people we'll excuse 665 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:50,400 Speaker 3: the Vikings And Sam was really good, but you say, okay, 666 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,680 Speaker 3: not just next year, but you get Sam Donalder bon 667 00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,520 Speaker 3: Nicks going forward. You've called Vikings games forever. And I 668 00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 3: know you like Sam Donald. Would you rather have Sam 669 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 3: Donald for the next five years or bon Nicks? 670 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,400 Speaker 2: Bonnick? What about you? 671 00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,959 Speaker 3: Probably the consensus he's probably in that second tier of 672 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 3: like the Dak Prescott world in terms of how the 673 00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,440 Speaker 3: league sees him. But nobody goes into a game against 674 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 3: the Cowboys just saying, oh, Dak's gonna be the reason 675 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 3: the Cowboys lose? 676 00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,720 Speaker 6: Can he throw interceptions? Can he be bad? Sure? 677 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 3: But you know it's that world of like Boomerasias and 678 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 3: Randall Cunningham every Sunday you're like, well, this is the 679 00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:24,680 Speaker 3: best guy. 680 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:28,760 Speaker 6: We Yeah, he's our guy. But you know, Dante Culpepper. 681 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 3: When he was obviously playing really well in his heyday, 682 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 3: you didn't want to necessarily trade. You weren't trading Dante 683 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 3: Culpepper when they were going toe to toe kind of thing. 684 00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:40,880 Speaker 3: That's how That's how Bonnicks feels right now. You win 685 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: a championship or two and that's still again a team thing. 686 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: That might change the way people look at him. And 687 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 3: if his numbers continue to be good, He's got more 688 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,239 Speaker 3: wins in the first two years of his career than 689 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 3: anybody I think all time, or tied with Andrew Luck 690 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: and Russell Wilson. 691 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 6: Yes, and I get there's two more games, but still 692 00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:57,680 Speaker 6: pretty impressed. 693 00:30:57,920 --> 00:30:59,680 Speaker 2: All right, ninety seconds, you get it all. 694 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,160 Speaker 4: What's the ad BK Denver Sports or Guerrilla Sports take 695 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,000 Speaker 4: on what happened between the Ravens and Raiders and Max Crosby. 696 00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,560 Speaker 6: I think that a couple of things happened. 697 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 3: One of them is they realized they could get Trey 698 00:31:15,440 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 3: Hendrickson and keep their two first round picks. They realized 699 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 3: the way the rules are set up, they can get 700 00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 3: a deal done, but until it's officially official, they don't 701 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:25,160 Speaker 3: have to do it. Max is twenty nine, I mean 702 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 3: Trey Henderson's what he's got to be thirty or thirty one, 703 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, But they can control that more easily. 704 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:34,960 Speaker 3: And I think that, you know, the Ravens, the old 705 00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 3: Ravens never were going to make this move. 706 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 6: Ozzieknews some still in the building. 707 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:41,400 Speaker 3: Eric Tacosta obviously has come up under Ozzie, and they 708 00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 3: still work really closely together, even if Oz he's just 709 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 3: a consultant. And so I think that I guess, I 710 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 3: don't know if it was Max's need, like his knee's 711 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:51,720 Speaker 3: not going to pass a physical right now, but it's 712 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,080 Speaker 3: the early part of March. It's March eleventh. It'll pass 713 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:58,880 Speaker 3: a physical come September tenth or eleventh when the season starts, 714 00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,239 Speaker 3: And so I I think they're twelve or thirteenth. I 715 00:32:02,280 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 3: think that they just had some buyer's remorse and realize 716 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,840 Speaker 3: Hendrickson was out there for about the same money. But 717 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 3: they get to keep their first round picks, which is 718 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 3: something they cover it because the Ravens and Pa, You've 719 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 3: done this a long time. They draft better than anybody, 720 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,800 Speaker 3: they certainly have over the last twenty years, and so 721 00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 3: to give up two picks I think was probably too 722 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:20,240 Speaker 3: much for them to swallow. And it might be that easy, 723 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 3: but it's gonna certainly, I think give them a bit 724 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 3: of a black eye without the league's gonna deal with 725 00:32:24,440 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 3: them in the short term. Perhaps it's dirty, I mean, 726 00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: the whole thing's dirty. But yeah, we could chat about 727 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,840 Speaker 3: that some other time. Hey, great chatting with you, man. 728 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,760 Speaker 3: Let's do it more often. Safe travels. All right, I'm available. 729 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,600 Speaker 3: I'll see you somebody. 730 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 2: Thanks. 731 00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 4: Brandon Christol at BK Denver Sports back to close the 732 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:40,960 Speaker 4: show after. 733 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:49,440 Speaker 2: Kullit cuit until tomorrow tomorrow. 734 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,600 Speaker 8: Hey, Brent here from rose mout be a lifelong Vikings 735 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,360 Speaker 8: fan thirty plus years. What's wrong with sticking with JJ McCarthy. 736 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 8: It's worst case scenario, we get a top five pick 737 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 8: next year. Best case scenario, he brings us to the 738 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:04,120 Speaker 8: playoffs and we know we got our guy for the 739 00:33:04,160 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 8: next ten years. 740 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 6: Am I missing something here? 741 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,280 Speaker 4: Well, that's a terrific question. Now, the worst case scenario, 742 00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 4: you're awful, super bad, and you get a top five pick. Yeah, 743 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 4: I mean have a private conversation with Justin Jefferson about that. 744 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,120 Speaker 2: So it just hanging to work. 745 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,360 Speaker 4: So clearly there are things with the with the maturation 746 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 4: and or development of JJ McCarthy that seems to be 747 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:35,600 Speaker 4: causing the team pause. So that's it's it's perplexing. That's that. 748 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:37,600 Speaker 4: That's the best way I can answer it right now, 749 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 4: not being around there frequently. But you know later today 750 00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,200 Speaker 4: when the first official day of the league year commences, 751 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:50,360 Speaker 4: well that's when Kyler Kirk and whomever watch officially begins 752 00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:51,240 Speaker 4: nine to noon. 753 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,800 Speaker 2: Will uh we will? 754 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 4: We will opine with whatever happens or doesn't happen tomorrow. 755 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,440 Speaker 4: From Boxing the Box. 756 00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 5: From South Minneapolis. Why do I just have the feeling 757 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:08,760 Speaker 5: that Kyler Murray is going to be a disaster, Maybe 758 00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 5: not Josh Freeman level disaster, but just a disaster. And 759 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,600 Speaker 5: I really wish that I'm wrong. I will eat my 760 00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,600 Speaker 5: words happily if he leads us to the Promised Land. 761 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:24,280 Speaker 5: But it just doesn't feel right period. 762 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,000 Speaker 7: And appreciates talkback, brother suns out, it's supposed to be 763 00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:27,840 Speaker 7: come on. 764 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's and that opinion has been formulated. There also 765 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:36,640 Speaker 4: are those who will see the dynamic nature of Kyler 766 00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:40,279 Speaker 4: Murray's highlights on social media machines, and they'll be like, yeah, 767 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 4: don't just give one and one, give five and one hundred, 768 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 4: three and one hundred. It's Kyler for me. As I 769 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,240 Speaker 4: said earlier, always has been a tough figure. He's always 770 00:34:51,280 --> 00:34:52,240 Speaker 4: been a tricky figure. 771 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:53,160 Speaker 6: You know. 772 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 4: I've called several vikings games against Arizona and Kyler Murray. 773 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,000 Speaker 4: So then you'll learn a lot from, you know, those 774 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:05,600 Speaker 4: with staffs about certain positive and negative things. There have 775 00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,560 Speaker 4: been so many games. There have been a fair amount 776 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 4: of games where I just I and we think, all right, 777 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,959 Speaker 4: he ain't gonna beat you, he ain't gonna beat you, 778 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,440 Speaker 4: look at this, and then all of a sudden, he 779 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 4: beats you. So he has that gamer gene to him. 780 00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:21,200 Speaker 2: And that's not. 781 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,160 Speaker 4: That's not a sidewinding all of duty contractual joke. 782 00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:28,239 Speaker 2: He has game to him. 783 00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:31,080 Speaker 4: I just like I've said during the course of the 784 00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:32,680 Speaker 4: last week, and I just can't wait for it to 785 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:34,759 Speaker 4: be over. So we know what it looks like and 786 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:39,000 Speaker 4: we can start formulating opinions.
