Speaker 3: at this time on Friday, So doing well.

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. We a little more detail than

16
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: you probably needed. Well, that's okay.

17
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: We started a talkback theme today, might use it a

18
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: little more this week. It's it's it's simple, it's got

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: some low hanging fruit to it. But but I want

20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 1: to hear what your take on it is. Given you

21
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: follow the NFL and the Vikings as closely as you do.

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: So you know Rashaun Gary has been traded. You know

23
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 1: Eric Wilson's back in the mix. You know Ivan paced

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,839
Speaker 1: Junior probably is back in the mix. With all that said,

25
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: all right, and you know the names of the players

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: who reportedly will be released make the Vikings better into

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six? How do you make the team better

28
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: with free agency? This quarterback situation and morble of a

29
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: charging good morning, Hi, good morning. I'm going to give

30
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: you a couple of angles on that one.

31
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 3: Is not that sneaky, I think, at least to this

32
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: listening audience, but might be nationally my favorite running back

33
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 3: value they you can go get to pair up with

34
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason is the same kid who torched the Vikings

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: in week number four. And I think if we're not

36
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 3: for that, people would not be would be less aware

37
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: of our listening audience about just how good Kenneth Gainwell is.

38
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 3: Any n you remember that Pittsburgh game, Yeah, that's right

39
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: against the Vikings. He went six for six in that

40
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 3: game as a receiver, rolled up a one hundred and

41
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 3: thirty four total yards in that game and is part

42
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 3: of their one two punch. Was very, very good He

43
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 3: is much more of a slasher than what we get

44
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 3: out of Jordan Mason, who's more of a north south

45
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: power runner, and I think would be I think he

46
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 3: would be an outstanding addition. But I'd love to have

47
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker well. Sure, I'd love to have Kenneth Walker.

48
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: I just don't think that we're going to be able

49
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 3: to land Kenneth Walker financially, so, you know, instead, Kenneth

50
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 3: Gainwell to me, is an affordable solve at a position

51
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: of need that means you don't have to go spend

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 3: you know, like a day at round four draft pick

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 3: on a running back to helps solidify the one two

54
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 3: punch that you want to have in your backfield.

55
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 2: So what do you think, Paul Kenneth gain Well? Uh?

56
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 2: I like it.

57
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Gain Well is one of the two uh that that

58
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 1: I've kind of had on my radar for about a

59
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: week and a half two weeks would gain Well, but

60
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: about a month with wide receiver Juwan Jennings, who I

61
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: think is cost effective and is the He's the kind

62
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: of guy with his physicality, is locker room leadership and

63
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: just who Juwan Jennings is overall as a player. I

64
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: think I think Juwan Jennings would be a cool ad here.

65
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: But nine to noon in the listening audience is incredibly

66
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: shocked that we lay out make the Vikings better and

67
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: you immediately go to offense.

68
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: Is is there.

69
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: Is there like with uh with with all the quarterbacks

70
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: that we hear about and recognizing the veteran quarterback to

71
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: be signed here, assuming it happens, will need to play

72
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: close to the veteran minimum.

73
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: With all that known, who do you like and why?

74
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 3: And I do have a corner back that I want

75
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: to recommend as well, but let's go to Let's stay

76
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: with quarterback.

77
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: Give it to us first, the defensive god, all right.

78
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,479
Speaker 3: The cornerback I want to target is Kansas City cornerback

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 3: Jalen Watson. Well, he's somebody that we we talked about

80
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: on Fantasy Football Weekly lot because he was somebody you

81
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 3: had to be worried about when your team went up

82
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 3: against the against the Chiefs. He in five hundred and

83
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: eleven coverage snaps last year. Jalen Watson allowed zero touchdown

84
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: passes come on none and Trent mcduffy was the one

85
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: a back there, but quietly, Jalen Watson was the one

86
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: beat and tube was really good and I'm just I'm

87
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 3: a I'm a big fan of his. I think he

88
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: I think he can be somebody that significantly helps the team.

89
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 2: Very physical, excellent tackler as well.

90
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 3: And we know that we know our corners have to

91
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 3: be able to tackle in this in this scheme because

92
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 3: they get left on islands a lot.

93
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: You can't.

94
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 3: You have to be able to wrap up if you're

95
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: gonna give up that pass. By the way, Also, just

96
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: a fifty eight percent completion rate on balls thrown at

97
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 3: Jalen Watson this year, so he is my preferred cornerback.

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 3: Ad that would also take off a position that you

99
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: would otherwise need to spend a day a day one

100
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 3: or day two pick on to get younger there. Watson,

101
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: I believe just twenty five years old. So yeah, that's

102
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 3: that's my sneaky cornerback play.

103
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: What do you think about Jalen Watson, Well, it it

104
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: adds up with the trade of Trent McDuffie.

105
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: I like him a lot.

106
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 1: Subsequently, the contract that he just got from the Los

107
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams, I know the name, not super familiar with

108
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: the game.

109
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just I'm worried about the amount of cash

110
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 4: involved in that one charge. I mean kind of the idea,

111
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 4: especially you just saw the four and what was it

112
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 4: four and one twenty four and one twenty five something

113
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,279
Speaker 4: like that for McDuffie, and Watson already kind of got yeah. Yeah,

114
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: he's the highest McDuffie's highest paid corner in NFL history

115
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 4: out there in LA WHOA, yeah, I don't know you

116
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 4: mentioned Watson. I loved gain well most of the most

117
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 4: of how I've handled this, I don't want to call

118
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: it dumpster diving per se, but certainly not top tier.

119
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: I mean Linderbaum, you saw the money that Connor mcgovernn

120
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 4: just got to stick with the bills.

121
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: I think it was four and fifty two.

122
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 4: So Linderbaum is going to be the most coveted dude

123
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: among free agent centers. So you know, I'm looking at

124
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,480
Speaker 4: like Caid May's from the Panthers, or you mentioned you

125
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 4: mentioned Jalen Watson is a corner. I'm wondering if Tradavius White,

126
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: a decade into his career, has something left or Jabelle

127
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 4: Dean or Eric I'm trying to figure out how to

128
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: pronounce uh noah igbanaghae uh and good.

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: Luck with that. During a Friday. Don't don't don't how

130
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,919
Speaker 3: don't learn how to do that?

131
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: No, you nailed it.

132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 4: But before I throw a couple of ideas at you, charge,

133
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 4: I did want to backtrack to what PA asked you

134
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 4: in terms of this this quarterback kerfuffle, this conundrum, this

135
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 4: dilemma with several veterans that the Vikings potentially could add

136
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 4: thanks to the dime of other teams with all that

137
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 4: dead money and guaranteed stuff hanging out there.

138
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 2: Who suits your fancy?

139
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 4: I know we had mentioned kind of shooting the bleep

140
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 4: a couple of weeks ago, talking about like Derek Carr

141
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 4: and that kind of thing.

142
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: But who's hot on your mind?

143
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 4: As teams will start releasing guys in a couple of days,

144
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 4: and this affords you the opportunity to stamp it and say,

145
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 4: Zach Wilson is a zero of ten?

146
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: What are these idiots doing? And he's never ever going

147
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: to succeed in the National Football League because maybe, and

148
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: you know this is in jest, maybe it's Zach Wilson

149
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: for the veteran minimum and he goes for thirty touchdowns

150
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: and nine picks.

151
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: Oh man, what a story that would be.

152
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: And as if Jets fans aren't having unraveled enough over

153
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: the Sam Darnold dissension, right if we pulled that off, Well,

154
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 3: the two big names are Kyler Murray in Tua. I'd

155
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:14,480
Speaker 3: love to tuck those three with you. Here's your case

156
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 3: for Kyler Murray coming to the Vikings. So let me

157
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,960
Speaker 3: start here. Nordo BA. During Kyler Murray seven years in Arizona,

158
00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 3: he missed thirty games for the Cardinals. Would you care

159
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 3: to guess how many of those thirty games the Cardinals

160
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 3: won without Kyler Murray in those seven years eighteen?

161
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: I would guess you said thirty games he missed.

162
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: I'm gonna say they won like six or seven games.

163
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: Five now, So you know, point being, you know this

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 3: isn't all on Kyler Murray, right, you know, putting other

165
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 3: guys in, although Jacoby Brissett looked very comfortable in that

166
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 3: offense in a way, honestly, Kyler Murray didn't last year.

167
00:08:56,920 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 3: But you know, the Cardinals were broken organization. It's possible

168
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: nobody was going to succeed at quarterback given the you know,

169
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 3: the coaching and the tools and the players that are

170
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: around him. Now did have some pretty good receivers to

171
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 3: throw to over Kyler Murray's career through to Larry Fitzgerald,

172
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 3: DeAndre Hopkins, Christian Kirk, zach Ertz, Marquis Brown, if Marvin

173
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 3: Harrison Junior counts is good him too.

174
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 2: So it's not like he had no help.

175
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 3: But you know, I just think the middling results we

176
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: got from Kyler Murray might have just been organizationally. I

177
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 3: don't know that anybody would have been great there. And

178
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: he really wants to play for the Vikings. You know,

179
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: you can see where he would like to have a

180
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,839
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold like reclamation season, So that part would make sense,

181
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 3: and I'm I'm convincing myself that we could do it.

182
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 3: But one of the things that worries me, and you

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 3: guys tell me, is this, how much of this worries you?

184
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: With With Kyler Murray, he has been almost entirely like

185
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 3: a ninety percent shotgun quarterback. You know, koc Is is

186
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: not isn't. He's an under center guy. He's like, I think,

187
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 3: roughly in the fifty sixty percent under center for his quarterbacks.

188
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 3: That's a stylistic change that I would like to believe

189
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,079
Speaker 3: Murray could do, but I don't know that does worry

190
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: me a little bit, and his improvisational stylings doesn't feel

191
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 3: like KOC either. So I'm starting to warm up to

192
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 3: the idea of Kyler Murray. Where do you guys stand

193
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: on Kyler?

194
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,560
Speaker 4: My stance on him is, if that's the decision they make,

195
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 4: then then I'm open to it. And for all the

196
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 4: reasons that you've just stated, it's what is this thing going.

197
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 2: To look like? The improvisation?

198
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,400
Speaker 4: Do we have to sign a five to ten center

199
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: so Kyler can see over them all of those things

200
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 4: that play into it. If that's the decision they make,

201
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 4: that tells me that there is such a lack of

202
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 4: confidence at this stage that JJ McCarthy's ready to rock

203
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 4: to the point where they would effectively put Kyler in

204
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 4: a spot to take hold long term of the starting

205
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 4: position in Minnesota. And I have to at this stage,

206
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: in lieu of other information, I have to also try

207
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: us Kevin O'Connell that if he brings in Kyler Murray,

208
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: he knows about all the scrambling, he knows about the

209
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 4: decision making and all the potential inadequacies of Kyler Murray,

210
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 4: and he believes that either one way or another that

211
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 4: Kyler can find a way to be a little more

212
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,440
Speaker 4: efficient in this offense, or Kevin O'Connell would be open

213
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 4: to some of that improvisation, to some of that raw

214
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 4: athleticism and talent that Kyler undoubtedly has. So if Kevin

215
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,959
Speaker 4: O'Connell makes that decision, I actually am intrigued and kind

216
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 4: of excited to see what the hell that thing would

217
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 4: look like.

218
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: I personally, I'm intrigued now in a move based offense,

219
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: because I mean, we all know this Kyler going on

220
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: bob and seven step drops and being made to stay

221
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: in the pocket's not gonna happen. I mean, you can

222
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: preach it to him all you want, it's not going

223
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: to happen. But when he breaks the pocket because he's

224
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 1: so gifted running and now he's starting to slide more

225
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: and get out of bounce from what I understand, and

226
00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 1: potentially not take as many running related injuries as he has. Well,

227
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 1: Addison and Jefferson down the field trying to figure out

228
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: where Murray's gonna go with the run, Well, yeah, that

229
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: that that intrigues me greatly.

230
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: Tua does not intrigue me if his team is going

231
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 3: to walk away from one hundred and twenty five million

232
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: dollars just to be rid of him.

233
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: That's a concern.

234
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: The you know, Murray's Murray's also they're also walking away

235
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:23,680
Speaker 3: from a lot with Murray too.

236
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 2: But Tua, you've.

237
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 3: Also you add in any play could be the last

238
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 3: of his career. Literally, you've got all the you know,

239
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: the predilection for dumpoffs.

240
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: That's a that's a real concern. Uh.

241
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 3: He doesn't have just sort of like that that fire

242
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 3: in his belly, that will to win that you really

243
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 3: want out of that quarterback position.

244
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 2: I just don't.

245
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 3: I just Tua to me does not does not look

246
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 3: like the a reclamation project that's likely to hit.

247
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: I don't.

248
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you couldn't win with him and that

249
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 3: Koc couldn't get wins with him, you know, I I

250
00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 3: want to believe they could. But I just don't see

251
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 3: a scenario where you're signing to a to his next

252
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 3: big contract because things went so well in his first

253
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:04,959
Speaker 3: year in Minnesota.

254
00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I tend to agree with you there. Charge what

255
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: what do you think of Gino Smith? Okay, well, okay,

256
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't want him as my starter.

257
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 3: Okay, I'll start there, and presumably we've already got our

258
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: backup in JJ McCarthy. So I don't, I don't, I

259
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,160
Speaker 3: don't have I don't have any interest in Gino. It

260
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: feels like somewhere between Seattle and Las Vegas is the

261
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: real Geno. Seattle was such a good, well coached team

262
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 3: with surrounded by good players and a good organization that

263
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 3: I think made him look better than he really was.

264
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 3: Then he goes to Las Vegas and it's the exact opposite.

265
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,959
Speaker 3: Nothing around him is any good. They trade away his

266
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 3: best wide receivers, and you know, Rock Bowers has hurt

267
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 3: all year, the organization's putrid and disease, and he looks way,

268
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 3: way worse than Seattle.

269
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 2: The truth is probably between those two, but I don't

270
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 2: want to.

271
00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 3: I don't want to find out on our dime here

272
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 3: at which version. And I think he's going to enter

273
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 3: his fourteenth season right now. So I just again, that's

274
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: another guy. I just I don't see. Even if things

275
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 3: go well, it doesn't feel like there's a future where

276
00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,679
Speaker 3: you're signing Geno Smith to his next Vikings contract.

277
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 2: If you sign him to one here.

278
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 4: But similar to the way we were talking about Kyler charge,

279
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 4: if they go that Geno route, if they go aging

280
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 4: veteran route. Doesn't that tell you that, hey, we need

281
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: we still need some cooking and some simmering and some

282
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 4: growth from the kid, but that JJ McCarthy is still

283
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 4: certainly the long term plan. Wouldn't that tell you that

284
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: if if Gino Smith rolls in here, who, by the way,

285
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 4: Seattle has a terrific organization, no doubt about it. Don't

286
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: we have some good things that a quarterback could work

287
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 4: with a Geno Smith at this stage of his career.

288
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: Maybe he's got we have some assets that could allow

289
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 4: Gino to flourish.

290
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: Well, okay maybe, but you know, again, it feels like

291
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: all you're doing is put a twenty twenty six band

292
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: on it. I would rather go with honestly, even to it,

293
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: and especially Kyler, just for the age differential, because if

294
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 3: those guys are good at their age, it would make

295
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 3: sense to make them the next quarterback for the Vikings

296
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: as well. And you know, at this point, I think

297
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: we can I think reasonable people can agree nobody's writing

298
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: off JJ McCarthy, but we also can't put ourselves in

299
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 3: a position we have to depend on him turning it around.

300
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, I think he's just found money at this

301
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 3: point if it works out and it turns out he's great,

302
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: well fantastic, and I don't want to give him away,

303
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: but at this you can't count on it. You have

304
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 3: to treat JJ McCarthy as found one.

305
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: All right, all right? Charge moving on from GINO. Hey,

306
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: as you're looking at things, and at eleven o'clock we

307
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 4: start hearing. At some point in that eleven am hour,

308
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: we'll begin to hear people signing deals, et cetera. Are

309
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 4: you focused more on, hey, Ryan Kelly retired? We need

310
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 4: an answer. There can't be Brandle and a draft pick.

311
00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: We got to find a free agent. Are you more

312
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 4: focused maybe on hey, hard Grave and Allen didn't work

313
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 4: out here last year. We're moving on, well, what does

314
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 4: the depth look like on the defensive front? Where are

315
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 4: you peeking around at the Vikings depth chart and kind

316
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 4: of starting to rank or provide, uh, maybe a little

317
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: more a little extra focus as free agency starts to

318
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 4: lift off to make the Vikings.

319
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: Better interior, defensive line and center, huge huge topics here.

320
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 3: You know, the center gets real thin, real fast. You

321
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 3: we remember it might be that like the third best

322
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: free agent center is Austin Schlottman. And you know it's

323
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 3: there's not there's not a lot of help coming at

324
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 3: that position, I don't think.

325
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 2: But there's there is.

326
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 3: There's a lot of familiar names at defensive tackle that

327
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: are potentially available here, and this will be part of

328
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: the challenge. DJ reader Tim Settle de Kwon Jones. Do

329
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 3: you want the ninety third year of Kalaias Campbell? There's

330
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: there's gonna be at least how about Tyris? How about

331
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 3: Tyris Tomgut coming back right after a Super Bowl trip.

332
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 3: You know, we didn't think much of him here, but

333
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: he played a lot of downs for the Patriots last season.

334
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 2: I think those are going to be that.

335
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 3: If you asked me to pick a position that will

336
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: be early addressed early by the Vikings in free agency,

337
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be interior defensive line.

338
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 2: You guys, do you guys agree? Are you with me

339
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 2: on this thinking?

340
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 5: No?

341
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: I tend to agree with you.

342
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 4: I like that John Franklin Myers cat from the Broncos

343
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 4: fifteen it's like fourteen or fifteen sacks the last two seasons.

344
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 4: We got Javon Hargrave putting out on X that interior

345
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,919
Speaker 4: d lineman can't get sacks in the Flores system. But

346
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 4: I like Franklin Myers, Dalvin Tomlinson could come back.

347
00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: I mean, look at these names.

348
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 4: This is an awful time in some respects for a

349
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,679
Speaker 4: team that's trying to get cheaper and younger. You mentioned

350
00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 4: DJ Reader, Shelby Harris is out there. PA's favorite player,

351
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,320
Speaker 4: Larry Ogan Jobi is available. Sheldon rankins. We can get

352
00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: giadd Ward back, Hatty hatty Ward back in the mix

353
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,719
Speaker 4: for the Minnesota Vikings. A lot of late late career

354
00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,680
Speaker 4: dinner circuit names becoming available these days.

355
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 2: Charge. Yeah, now, what are we doing at safety?

356
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't know if Harrison Smith

357
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: has tipped his hand to the organization so that they

358
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 3: know how to the degree to which they need to

359
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 3: prioritize safety. Obviously it's not public yet and Harrison is

360
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,640
Speaker 3: not obligated to make a decision, but boy, it would

361
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 3: be nice if Harrison Smith decided to let the organization

362
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,440
Speaker 3: know where he's leaning right now so they can make

363
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 3: they can make a decision one way or another and

364
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 3: know if they need to go land a Cameron Curl

365
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 3: or a Kobe Bryant or somebody, you know, somebody else

366
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 3: at the safety position. Because that's another spot that is

367
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 3: that is rather thin all of a sudden, draft feels

368
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 3: like safety and draft.

369
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: I think Cam Curll recently resigned with the Rams, so

370
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,680
Speaker 1: take him off the board might be right, I'd put

371
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: I'd put it in ninety to ninety five percent that

372
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: that Harrison's going to retire. But let me let me

373
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 1: ask you this question. Uh, the Chicago traded Dj Moore

374
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,480
Speaker 1: to Buffalo and their good center retired at a very

375
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,200
Speaker 1: young age. Then they traded for Garrett Bradbury the Bears.

376
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 1: Is this the team to beat in the NFC North

377
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 1: next season? Yeah, it feels that way, doesn't it mean?

378
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 3: You know so that they have the luxury of being

379
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 3: able to trade Dj Moore, And it's because look what

380
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: they did in their draft. They hit on Roma Dunda,

381
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: Luther Burden, and Colson Lovelin hit on all of them.

382
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 3: And when you when you have the luxury of three

383
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 3: twenty three year old guys that all look like their

384
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: NFL caliber and some and maybe maybe awesome at their position,

385
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 3: then you have the luxury of moving on from your

386
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 3: twenty nine year old wide receiver DJ Moore. And the Bills,

387
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,280
Speaker 3: of course, are just trying to keep their window open

388
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,879
Speaker 3: for Josh Allen and trying to stay relevant here and

389
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,680
Speaker 3: they haven't been able to solve wide receiver at all,

390
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 3: so they kind of overpay. Bears get second rounder, They

391
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 3: get out of forty dollars in guaranteed money and DJ

392
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: Moore was not needed on this team anymore.

393
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: So that gives that, you know, that.

394
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 3: Spreads around one hundred more targets for a Dunesay and

395
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 3: Bourbon and Colson Lovelin.

396
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 2: The Bears.

397
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320
Speaker 3: They've got clearly a very good coach, they have an

398
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: a sending offense, and now they you know, they get

399
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: yet another great They get another high pick in a

400
00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 3: draft by giving up players that they didn't need much

401
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,160
Speaker 3: like much like they did with with Young to Carolina.

402
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 3: So it just feels like a little bit of the

403
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,199
Speaker 3: rich getting richer in Chicago. And you know, now they

404
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:41,160
Speaker 3: got an opportunity to get even better and they're nailing

405
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: their draft picks and that it just makes such a

406
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 3: big difference when when you've got young talent on your

407
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: team like they do in a position.

408
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 2: And yes, I'm jealous right now. Time for two more

409
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: Pa and Church. Do you have a Viking?

410
00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,159
Speaker 1: Do you have a Vikes at eighteen player to stamp

411
00:20:58,240 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: yet or do you still need to do work?

412
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: No, I I do have a Vike sit at eighteen.

413
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 3: AVM Terrelf the cornerback for Clemson is kind of is

414
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,400
Speaker 3: where I'm sitting right now. You get somebody with not

415
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:17,160
Speaker 3: necessarily elite ball skills, but really good covered skills. Nine

416
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 3: passes defended last year, actually use it. He can be

417
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 3: physical despite only being uh five eleven one ninety, can

418
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: be physical, good tackler.

419
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 2: That's you know.

420
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: That's where I'm on right now. Is the team needs

421
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: cornerback help as they as this team has for like

422
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 3: I don't know, fifteen straight years. Cornerback help is where

423
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 3: is where I'm going right now.

424
00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: How about you guys? Do you have you have early

425
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 2: early picks at eighteen for the Vikings, Theemon Oregon. What

426
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 2: about you?

427
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm I'm on Theeneman right now. Given

428
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 4: the safety, I mean, what I want to see the

429
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 4: Vikings do, because there's about sixty five free agent safeties

430
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,199
Speaker 4: is I would like to see them bring in a

431
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 4: safety and as many as are available that should probably

432
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 4: put the push the dollar amount down and then I

433
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: want him to go hard after after a guy in April,

434
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 4: and that might be theenem And there's some defensive tackles.

435
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 4: PA's mentioned Peter Woods a couple different times. I don't

436
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 4: know if eighteen's the spot to get them, but but

437
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 4: similarly on the defensive front, if we can get one

438
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 4: of these old timers and then address that with one

439
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 4: of our first couple of picks in April as well,

440
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 4: I'd feel really really good about those moves by Brazinski.

441
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: Chargie, last one you left the Gee, all right? Last

442
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 1: year you left Gee? Will Will you have some form

443
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: of fantasy football business venture anew or do you call

444
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: it an hof career?

445
00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: I hope I do.

446
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 3: I've got it's I can't talk about anything that I'm

447
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 3: doing right now, but i'd like to. I'd like to

448
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 3: believe that we're we're still having a lot of fun

449
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: and doing doing fun stuff next next football season as well.

450
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 3: It's just there's it's they're just a lot of things

451
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 3: in motion right now as we are six months away

452
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 3: from the season.

453
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 2: But thank you for asking that you care. I appreciate

454
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: that understandably. And you know what else is in motion?

455
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: All those Utah Jazz games you're probably watching out Saint

456
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:10,120
Speaker 1: George Away.

457
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: Right, that would be your your mammoth right here, this

458
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 3: is it's Mammoth country.

459
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: You know that, and mammoth wild. I think playing the

460
00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: playing today or tomorrow? Correct? Yeah?

461
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 1: In St Paul Tomore, Yes, yeah, the mammoth has former

462
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: and you probably know this has former Gopher Logan Cooley.

463
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 1: And Cooley is going to play with the US and

464
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: the twenty thirty Olympics. He wears ninety two and is

465
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: easy to spot Logan Cooley. Make him your favorite player?

466
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,719
Speaker 1: All right, deal, we'll do that.

467
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,120
Speaker 2: Thank you, my Matt. It's great talking to both of you. Again.

468
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: Let's be friends more often if.

469
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: You would likewise, my brother, have a good week. Paul

470
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,679
Speaker 1: Charchiam nine to noon into the second half of the presentation.

471
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: Some more, make the Vikings better, talkbacks around the corner

472
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 1: if we have them, and gold Medal Radio at eleven o'clock.

473
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: Taylor Heisei in studio with fiance Parker Fox.

474
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 6: It's nine to it, Hey, Detrey Lakes go wild.

475
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 7: I don't think any of the four veteran quarterbacks do

476
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,520
Speaker 7: anything for me, especially if our offensive line is not

477
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 7: greatly improved. Our free agency and draft needs to focus

478
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 7: on the lines, both of them. Again, we swung and

479
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,920
Speaker 7: missed last year. That's what needs to improve. The quarterbacks

480
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 7: play will improve accordingly.

481
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 2: Well, thank you for that.

482
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 1: I don't I mean continually upgrading or four to fine

483
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: a moving company is never a bad idea. I trust

484
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 1: the moving company. When Darisow plays all the games and

485
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: Donovan Jackson at left guard, I'm cool with that. Likewise,

486
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: with the right guard, center situation needs to be figured out.

487
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: So maybe that was the Maybe that was the crux

488
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 1: of the matter. And the right tackle is still quite

489
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: good too. When it comes to the next veteran quarterback

490
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: to join the Covenant. Got a text during the Paul

491
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: Charchian conversation from a Texter.

492
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:24,160
Speaker 2: Whose name will not be released.

493
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: Tua as in tongue Iiloa Tua is Waterford crystal, beautiful,

494
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 1: but extremely delicate and breakable.

495
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 2: I always love that one. Thank you for that.

496
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 1: And I'm also I'm also reminded that just because we're

497
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 1: not seeing or hearing a lot about Mac Jones with

498
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: the San Francisco forty nine ers, I mean, that doesn't

499
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: mean that that's a zero yeah for the Minnesota Vikings.

500
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: Just because we're not hearing about it or what will

501
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: go into it and things like that.

502
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 4: And since he's under contract with the team, it would

503
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 4: be a trade, which means it's not a it has

504
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 4: to be figured out Wednesday afternoon type of thing either.

505
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, correct, now the I mean I understand what my

506
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: man was saying via the talkback, and like all the

507
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: names and Kyler and the miss games and Geno Smith

508
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: near the end, who knows what Couz Buzz is going

509
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: to need to make. Who knows what Aaron Rodgers has

510
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: up his tattered sleeve this offseason. But this isn't a

511
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,560
Speaker 1: forever thing. So like with Kyler Murray, if Kyler Murray

512
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: is the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback in twenty twenty six,

513
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,320
Speaker 1: you want him to go lights out. You want him

514
00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: to put the team in a precarious position where they

515
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 1: now are either forced to pay what it would take

516
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: to keep that quarterback who jumped out of his skin,

517
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: or they got to deal with letting him go and

518
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: moving forward.

519
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 4: With McCarthy, I think I maybe I'm wrong on this

520
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:03,160
Speaker 4: with what happened Darnald so Donald for the most part,

521
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,119
Speaker 4: goes lights out. He sacked a bunch, but it's a

522
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 4: good season for the for the Purple Yeah, sadly lose

523
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 4: to the Rams, you let him go. I don't think

524
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 4: you let Kyler go. If he blows up in twenty

525
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 4: twenty six. If he goes lights out and this is

526
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 4: a double digit win team, he looks terrific.

527
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 2: Yep, oh my goodness.

528
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: He blew this game for us in early October, but

529
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 4: he was hammering on things and he's going three touchdowns,

530
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 4: no picks, three hundred yards in December. Then I think

531
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: that that ends the whole conversation, which is Jay.

532
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 1: I'm not dumb, and you know I'm not. If Kirk

533
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: Cousins somehow ends up here as that guy, I'm not

534
00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 1: negative on that. Now, if he goes lights out, I mean,

535
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: if Kirk goes eight of ten, you win double digit games,

536
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,639
Speaker 1: maybe win a playoff game.

537
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, that's not.

538
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 1: A three year, eight zillion dollar deal, correct, I mean

539
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 1: that that's kind of the best situation if it works,

540
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: is Cousins and the cousin's kindness working with the kid. Yeah,

541
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm still not I can't like, Kirk ain't gonna come

542
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 1: here unless he starts, all right, but at like age

543
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: thirty seven into the season, and this is somebody of

544
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: whom I'm very fond. So ain't the easiest thing to say,

545
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,280
Speaker 1: but has he earned the right at this stage of

546
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: his career to make that demand? And if Kirk Cousins

547
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: demands to start in twenty twenty six, what other teams

548
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: will give him that opportunity? Okay, so maybe the New

549
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 1: York Jets. Does he want to be a Jet? Do

550
00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: you want to be a Jet? Do you want to

551
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: put Lavernius Calls on a series of double moves? I

552
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 1: just I don't see it that way. So it's still

553
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: very complex, very confusing. I'm not eliminating the mac Jones

554
00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 1: portion of the equation, but like I said atop the show,

555
00:28:55,240 --> 00:28:57,480
Speaker 1: it just feels like somebody has to be near the

556
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: veteran minimum mac Jones the vetermentimum. But to get him,

557
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 1: you would trade somebody that is making a fair amount,

558
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: I would imagine, so then that would come off. It's

559
00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 1: just confusing and it just needs to end.

560
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 6: One thing I would do.

561
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 7: I would trade Jordan Addison for a player or a pick,

562
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 7: and I would sign Jalen Naylor as the two Wow.

563
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 7: Jordan Addison has proven he is a problem off the field,

564
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 7: and he's gonna want a giant bag, bigger than what

565
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 7: Naylor is gonna get today.

566
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 6: Trade Addison sign Naylor.

567
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: That that's a great talkback. All right, it's a great

568
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: talkback at least for me, you know, to to for

569
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: from the opinion stating business doesn't mean as right as

570
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: my opinion. Jordan Addison's better than Jalen Naylor. All right,

571
00:29:56,760 --> 00:30:00,080
Speaker 1: he's a better player. Yeah, so you don't I have

572
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: to worry about Jaalen away from things the way you

573
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 1: do Jordan. And that comes with all due respect, but

574
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 1: it just has proven itself out over the years. So now,

575
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: if you trade Jordan Addison, and I think if he

576
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: gets that fifth year option because he was a first

577
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: round pick, they decide that in May, maybe, yeah, I

578
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 1: think that's like eighteen million dollars.

579
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: That's a lot.

580
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 1: So like my man said, there, all right, trade Jordan

581
00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: re up Nailer. Okay, I'm cool if they do that.

582
00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 1: But the team that would be trading for Jalen for

583
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison, well they would have the same questions, how

584
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: much can I trust him?

585
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 2: How much are we going to have to pay? Do

586
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: I get to do that fifth year option?

587
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: And do I have just wide him off the field, right,

588
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 1: So that's it's not exactly the greatest bargaining position in

589
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:59,560
Speaker 1: which to be, but they're I mean, Kyle Shanahan, if

590
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: he could fit it in, that's the kind of guy that.

591
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 2: Would move on Jordan Addison. And you know it's it's.

592
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,920
Speaker 4: Would they move on Addison or be hesitant because they're

593
00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 4: just going through the Ayuk Ayu Kayuk.

594
00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 2: Is wow leaving the building. Good question.

595
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 1: Well see you see Brandon, Brandon got hurt. Well, Brandon

596
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: got weird, and then Brandon got hurt, and then Feebo

597
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 1: Samuel who from what I understand was kind of a

598
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: big brother to Brandon. Ayuk, well then he left and

599
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,680
Speaker 1: then everything went pear shaped. Then they kicked Brandon off

600
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 1: the team. But Ayuk, unless I'm I'm forgetting something. I

601
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:41,600
Speaker 1: the off the field stuff, sleeping in a car, just

602
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: just all of that.

603
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm just it's sleeping in a car. I Yuk is mercurial.

604
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I U can be enigmatic, But I just don't

605
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: know if like worrying about that kind of stuff with

606
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: Ayuk is a situation for the forty nine ers.

607
00:31:57,360 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 4: It's probably I just any team that the leverage or

608
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 4: the bargaining position is just purely the capital. I mean

609
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 4: you could move, you know, the same way the Cowboys

610
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 4: are trying to figure out what the what the Packers

611
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 4: could and getting the best out of Rashan Gary. The

612
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 4: team that makes the trade thinks that they can solve

613
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 4: that problem that leads you down a road where you're

614
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: trying to get rid of a problem. Yeah, but that

615
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 4: that mercurial or oddness to just unpredictable nature of Jordan Addison,

616
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 4: that that's going to whatever you think that the what

617
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 4: do you think you're going to get a second.

618
00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 2: Rounder for Jordan Addison? Right? I don't.

619
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't think you would the According to the tweet

620
00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: machine from the Minnesota Vikings x account, oh Jalen Redmond,

621
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 1: the Vikings have tender Jalen Redman's contact contract for twenty

622

Speaker 1: twenty six nice Greg Peters Vikings dot com rights. The

623
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: Vikings Monday announced they have placed the exclusive rights free

624
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: agent tender on Jalen Redmond. Move is one of the

625
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,480
Speaker 1: easier decisions for Minnesota, brings Redmond back for twenty twenty six,

626
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: with an eventual opportunity for a longer term deal. Redman

627
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: was deservedly dubbed the defensive lines unsung hero. In vikings

628
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: dot COM's position recap in January, the designation follows him

629
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: playing nearly eight hundred defensive snaps at a sixty two tackle,

630
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: six sacks, eight quarterback hits, twelve TFLs, and a forced fumble,

631
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,800
Speaker 1: a couple of fumble recoveries five passes defensed in twenty

632
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 1: twenty five. I like that a lot about Jalen Redman

633
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,920
Speaker 1: because Jalen, he's not super tall. But to get that

634
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: amount of passes defensed from a defensive lineman, that's a

635
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: fat number, especially given his stature or or it's not like,

636
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's not like we're talking about Kyle. I mean,

637
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: it's not like we're talking about a shorter defensive lineman

638
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: running around. But he's not as tall as some others.

639
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: Just think big ticket Vin Williams. He ain't all like that.

640
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 1: Kevin was elite at passes defense. So Jalen Redman back

641
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: in the mix, Eric Wilson back in the mix, Ivan

642
00:34:10,680 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: Paced Junior most likely back in the mix. What's the

643
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 1: next shoe to drop? Free agency begins today nine to

644
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:18,880

00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 4: Minnesota Wild in Vegas.

672
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 9: You get ahead, mccarott, bounce it along. It's a two

673
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 9: on one, make it a three on. Tarasenko dropped it

674
00:36:01,719 --> 00:36:03,080
Speaker 9: back this perche and took a return.

675
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:03,800
Speaker 2: Pass to pay Scott.

676
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 8: Vladimir Tarasenko beat Smith five hole and the Wild with

677
00:36:11,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 8: some insurance.

678
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 2: Late it's four one Minnesota.

679
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,799
Speaker 4: I believe it was four to two the final, but

680
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 4: on Sunday, battling back, even taking the lead at one

681
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 4: point I think it was Nico Stern with a shorty.

682
00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 4: It goes to a shootout, and well McKinnon did his thing.

683
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 9: Nathan McKinnon now another chance to.

684
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 2: Win it for the whole town Avalanche.

685
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:31,759
Speaker 9: He's won for three on the Season'll pick up the puck,

686
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:35,680
Speaker 9: darting in McKinnon right through the shoot slows the pace down.

687
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 2: It's got.

688
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:43,000
Speaker 9: Nathan McKinnon wins it for Colorado speeding in Chamming on

689
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 9: the bricks stamped the glove side and the app survived

690
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:48,360
Speaker 9: the Wild's third period push.

691
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:51,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, they lose in the shootout and they still get

692
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 4: the point. So five to six points to their last

693
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 4: three games. You dig all that, and now they come

694
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,320
Speaker 4: home for four straight. Cool chat you had with Bruce

695
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 4: Boudreau that'll podcastable shortly after the show.

696
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: During the nine am hour.

697
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 4: Love hearing from the former Wild coach in terms of

698
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:09,640
Speaker 4: how he sees this team, but sadly with eighteen to go,

699
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,960
Speaker 4: it's not about being resigned to it, but you can basically,

700
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,360
Speaker 4: let's watch cool stuff, Let's go beat the Mammoth and

701
00:37:16,400 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 4: Flyers this week, et cetera. But it's the Stars, it's

702
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,680
Speaker 4: the Stars. There's a couple against the Stars, a little

703
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:24,360
Speaker 4: tune ups, a little heat check.

704
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:27,200
Speaker 2: Maybe before that series. The only thing really we don't know.

705
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 4: At this stage is whether we're headed to Dallas or

706
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 4: they're headed to Saint Paul for game one.

707
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 2: It feels like.

708
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: March twenty first, in April eight those are the key dates.

709
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: Saturday the twenty first, Dallas is here and the Wild

710
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: is are at Dallas April eighth for those tone setting games.

711
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:50,879
Speaker 1: Heinzy's PK just offgoing eighteen of eighteen, leading it for

712
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 1: the men's Olympians. It was fantastic yesterday. I think Colorado

713
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,400
Speaker 1: was on five power plays one zero for five. Not

714
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: prefer to put McKinnon on on power plays, we all

715
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: know that. But nevertheless, they got out of it alive

716
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:11,799
Speaker 1: and with Boudreau. And when you podcast this one of

717
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: the one of many interesting answers from NHL Network and

718
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: former Wild coach Bruce Boudreau during the nine to twenty

719
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:27,440
Speaker 1: today was the tricky nature of getting new players, specifically

720
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: when you have a handful like the Wild do, getting

721
00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: integrating them with what already is good. Now, Nordo just said,

722
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,480
Speaker 1: you know, we the Wild. They come home to play

723
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,640
Speaker 1: Churches Mammoth tomorrow night, boxing the box Friday from Tria

724
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: where they do morning skates in Saint Paul. That's Thursday

725
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: with the Philly Flyers in town. But the five points

726
00:38:50,480 --> 00:38:54,359
Speaker 1: out of six available they came against the Tampa Bay

727
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:59,360
Speaker 1: Lightning with Koucher, off, Vegas with Keel and Colorado with McKinnon.

728
00:38:59,719 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that ain't nothing but good news right there.

729
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: And the Wild absolutely can beat the Colorado Avalanche in

730
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:07,640
Speaker 1: a seven game series.

731
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 2: Gotta get Bye Dallas first.

732
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 4: Super tricky to the Minnesota Timberwolves a sleepy Saturday at

733
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:15,600
Speaker 4: Target Center.

734
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 5: The Wolves kind of rolled that early leads, still at

735
00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:21,319
Speaker 5: a seven point lead midway through the second and then

736
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 5: Orlando twenteen to two to close the first half, and

737
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:26,879
Speaker 5: they just really have not stopped since pain.

738
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 2: That's to his total, he's got twenty six. Yeah.

739
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 4: Desmond Baine led the visiting Orlando Magic with thirty points

740
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:36,160
Speaker 4: on Saturday.

741
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 2: A Polo Bencero went for twenty five.

742
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 4: And you know, outside of I mean the thirty four

743
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:44,919
Speaker 4: you get from Aunt, he came out dealing very early.

744
00:39:44,800 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 2: In the affair.

745
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 4: But other than that, you got Julius Randa with some struggles,

746
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,720
Speaker 4: Dante Oh for six.

747
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, from deep in that game. It was out to lunch, you.

748
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 4: Get to you get midway through the second quarter and

749
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 4: it was like, I don't think they have it today.

750
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 2: So still third five the West.

751
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:02,600
Speaker 4: A lot of good things to look forward to, but

752
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 4: this time of year, especially given you talked with Chris

753
00:40:06,160 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 4: Finch last week and the quote early on from him

754
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,759
Speaker 4: that I really liked and talking about consistency and things

755
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,960
Speaker 4: that he found that they were finding their focus, that

756
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:17,279
Speaker 4: there was some urgency that he was seeing and in

757
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,560
Speaker 4: some really good recent games. Did not did not see

758
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:25,680
Speaker 4: that on Saturday by any stretch of the imagination. They

759
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,399
Speaker 4: get whooped one nineteen ninety two, and then they head

760
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:32,080
Speaker 4: out next up the Lake Show tomorrow. They're at the

761
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 4: Lakers tomorrow evening. That's a late one on NBC. I

762
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 4: believe at Lakers at Clippers. The next game. They got

763
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 4: Golden State later in the week. They come home next week.

764
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,720
Speaker 4: I think there's a fourth one in that equation, maybe

765
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 4: on the road, But like the wild we're in super

766
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:52,719
Speaker 4: deep stretch here. Desmond Bane, for my taste, officially has

767
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 4: become the Christian Kirk of the NBA because when the

768
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 4: jack when who's.

769
00:40:58,760 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: On on Kirk? Jaguars.

770
00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Jaguars signed Kirk to this massive free agent deal,

771
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: yeah eighteen or twenty a year.

772
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I.

773
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: Mean everybody from Minneapolis to MAUI just chided the Jaguars

774
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 1: for the move they made, and he ended up living

775
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 1: up to the hype and earning the money at least

776
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 1: a year.

777
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,360
Speaker 2: Same with Desmond Baine.

778
00:41:19,440 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think four first round picks might have

779
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: been given up for him, three or four and like

780
00:41:24,680 --> 00:41:27,520
Speaker 1: everybody was teasing the magic just how dumb they were

781
00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,040
Speaker 1: for doing what they did. Go ahead and watch him

782
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: play this year. I mean Bain with a resurgent Sugs,

783
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: a resurgent Anthony Black when he's healthy, ben Cao has

784
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: some star doing and they're without Franz Wagner right now,

785
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: who will come back before the end of the year.

786
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:48,799
Speaker 1: So Orlando has gotten itself good and Bain has a

787
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: lot to do with that. Where the focus was, I

788
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: can't believe how much you gave up for him. All right,

789
00:41:53,719 --> 00:41:56,560
Speaker 1: let's play the games and see how it impacts the team.

790
00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:58,360
Speaker 1: It's helped them immensely.

791
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 4: Well, Bain's terrific. I loved him when he was with

792
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,040
Speaker 4: the Grizzlies, but it was kind of you're giving up that,

793
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,759
Speaker 4: And then maybe at the time they thought there was

794
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 4: a little more, a little more potential with Cole Anthony.

795
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: They give up four unprotected first Cole Anthony, your guy,

796
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:16,240
Speaker 4: Kentavious Caldwell, Pope, you love.

797
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:19,359
Speaker 2: That, and it's working out for the magic you mentioned it.

798
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,640
Speaker 4: They are indeed a playoff squad and well Memphis is

799
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,560
Speaker 4: in the rebuild mode.

800
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 2: To the NFL.

801
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,960
Speaker 4: You hit on this earlier, still waiting for eleven am

802
00:42:29,040 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 4: when the tampering period officially begins and we start seeing

803
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:37,040
Speaker 4: some deals and some numbers and some contracts being consummated.

804
00:42:37,760 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 4: But locally, Rashan Gary goes to the Dallas Cowboys for

805
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 4: a fourth round twenty twenty seven pick two years left

806
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,799
Speaker 4: on that deal, salaries of eighteen and twenty one.

807
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: Locally, Ivan Pace and Jalen Redman.

808
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:52,399
Speaker 4: You mentioned that at the end of last segment both

809
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 4: were signed to well Jalen was an exclusive tender, non

810
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 4: exclusive or a low tender for Ivan Pace, So the

811
00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 4: Vikings have the ants to match or refuse any offer

812
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:04,280
Speaker 4: sheet that Pace gets from another team.

813
00:43:04,560 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: Eric Wilson gets three and.

814
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 4: Twenty two and a half twelve and a half if

815
00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:11,839
Speaker 4: that's guaranteed. Look at US amateur capologists, we are it's

816
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,279
Speaker 4: basically a two and twelve million dollar deal or two

817
00:43:14,320 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 4: and twelve.

818
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 2: And a half for Eric Wilson. So we absolutely nailed that.

819
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 4: Garrett Bradberry was traded to the Bears over the weekend

820
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 4: and now he'll be the answer to Drew Dolman in

821
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 4: the center of their particular moving company. Connor McGovern four

822
00:43:28,560 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 4: and fifty two to stay in Buffalo to a tongue

823
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:33,920
Speaker 4: of Ioloa released by the Dolphins post June first.

824
00:43:33,960 --> 00:43:35,879
Speaker 2: Not sure what that means, but the Dolphins are.

825
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 4: Eating ninety nine millions over the next two How about this?

826
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 4: Ian Rappaport posted on X earlier this morning, quote the

827
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 4: Texans and standout guard at Ingram. Yeah, I've creed to

828
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 4: terms on a three year, thirty seven and a half bill.

829
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,680
Speaker 1: Hey, young Ali keep taking that low hanging fruit on

830
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 1: Ingram while he keeps getting paid what standout? I mean?

831
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: It's yeah, Standout's ridiculous. I didn't watch all of his games, no, no,

832
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: but here's the deal. His teams that started ed Ingram

833
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: went about seventy five percent of the time, and he

834
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,640
Speaker 1: has something to do with that. So I'm not sitting

835
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:16,919
Speaker 1: here saying that Randall McDaniel left the covenant here. I'm

836
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:23,239
Speaker 1: just saying he's doing things better than what visually we can. Occasionally. Yeah,

837
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:26,400
Speaker 1: well at paramount see him getting pushed back into the backfield.

838
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,279
Speaker 1: Had some really rough moments in the playoff game, the

839
00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 1: one in New England with Milton Williams opposite him. But nevertheless,

840
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:37,720
Speaker 1: it's either P. T. Barnum was right and a sucker

841
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,479
Speaker 1: is born every day or ed Ingram's better than people think.

842
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, he had similar numbers to what he had his

843
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,239
Speaker 4: final year in Minnesota. Three hundred and some more snaps

844
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 4: this season, so really at the least maybe stabilized and

845
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,960
Speaker 4: more more consistent.

846
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,640
Speaker 2: Maybe in his first year with Houston.

847
00:44:55,360 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 1: The ESPN NFL machine was all over Atlanta investigating to

848
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:05,799
Speaker 1: Toungo Bailoa. Seeing that now too and dan Orrolofsky, I

849
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: mean it's eleven, Dan, it's noon your time, eleven Art.

850
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean he's just sitting back waiting to go with

851
00:45:12,280 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray to the Minnesota Vikings. So I don't know

852
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: if that's I don't know if that's like the eleven

853
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:23,080
Speaker 1: am legal tampering oxymoron bit now, But man Orlofsky's opinion,

854
00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:27,279
Speaker 1: he's not breaking news guy, but he just somehow he's

855
00:45:27,320 --> 00:45:28,720
Speaker 1: just like convinced is gonna happen.

856
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 4: And finally, also on a Vikings no, Ryan Kelly announced

857
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:36,799
Speaker 4: his retirement after ten seasons over the weekend. Feels like

858
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 4: concussion issues and not being able to get on the

859
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 4: field that that kind of added up, so he's hanging

860
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 4: it up. Stinks to see someone's career end in regard

861
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,239
Speaker 4: to health related issues. One year in Minnesota, so we

862
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:50,719
Speaker 4: can't necessarily harken back to all the great memories of

863
00:45:50,800 --> 00:45:53,359
Speaker 4: Ryan Kelly with best of luck in retirement, and from

864
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,520
Speaker 4: a financial perspective, I believe it's eight or nine million

865
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 4: dollars that will be available for the Vikings.

866
00:46:00,520 --> 00:46:03,800
Speaker 1: Ryan didn't get to know him super well last year,

867
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 1: but I have two quick skull stories involving Ryan Kelly.

868
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: I'll never forget who first and foremost outside of the

869
00:46:11,160 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: team hotel in Dublin.

870
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: I think that's when he got kneed in the head.

871
00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,200
Speaker 1: You know, I don't like I'm not sitting there eaves

872
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 1: dropping on every word of people's conversations. I'm just telling

873
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:24,760
Speaker 1: you I left that hotel to go get something neat.

874
00:46:25,320 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 1: He was having the most heartfelt conversation I believe with

875
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: his wife and some family members, you know, about what

876
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: had happened that day, and it was just sad and

877
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:41,080
Speaker 1: I just like I knew something sad was transpiring right there. Secondly,

878
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 1: didn't do any of the drive bys after wins with

879
00:46:43,719 --> 00:46:46,359
Speaker 1: Ryan Kelly until the end of the season, and then

880
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 1: we did him like two consecutive games, and he was

881
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 1: so happy to talk about Brian O'Neill and Will Fryes

882
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:57,400
Speaker 1: and the career he's had, and so thankful for the opportunity.

883
00:46:57,400 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 1: It was just cool man, so unfortunate, and it unfortunate

884
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:05,320
Speaker 1: to have your career end on a note like that, where,

885
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: you know, unlike some others like Chad Greenway, Harrison Smith,

886
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,879
Speaker 1: probably so on and so on, you want to leave

887
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: on your own terms. Can't imagine these Arion's terms, but

888
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 1: I think ten years, a decade and change or whatever

889
00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 1: it is out of Alabama. Fantastic career, fantastic guy. Go ahead, No,

890
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,840
Speaker 1: that's News to Art, brought to you by Canterbury's Card Casino.
