Speaker 3: How you doing, chargy. I've missed you. I've missed you

12
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: as well.

13
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 2: I missed the idea of now I wouldn't have been

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 2: there anyway, just because how things have changed. I missed

15
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: you guys being at the Combine and Jordan Reid of

16
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: ESPN potentially key ANDSN on some safety or corner. Or

17
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 2: you watch seven YouTube videos and suddenly that bees that

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 2: becomes the focal point of all things vikings into the draft.

19
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: I need you part of the draft coverage. I need

20
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 2: you a part of the combine coverage.

21
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 3: Charge Well, I know, look, maybe I just have to

22
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: pay my own way and just join UH and just

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 3: foist my way back onto the feast and make it

24
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 3: happen in Indy. I should have done it this year

25
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 3: I did not. But in fairness, I just got back

26
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 3: from Whiskey Weekend. You know, I'm you know, I still

27
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 3: have whiskey coming out my pores, and you know it's

28
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: it's a process to get ready for that. Yeah, it's

29
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 3: back from that.

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: Take what was the what was the winning the winning

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 2: whiskey of Whiskey Weekend. I'm glad you asked.

32
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Now, bear in mind, we've done this seventeen years and

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 3: you can't bring a bottle that's ever been there before.

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 3: So you know, nobody's bringing Jack Daniels, right, Yeah, you

35
00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: know this is all you know, it's gotten a little

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 3: bit more obscure, but that also is part of the

37
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 3: fun of it. The winner this year, the last bottle

38
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 3: standing in our March Madness style double Elimination Whiskey Weekend

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: American Rambler. It was warm, a little spicy, yep, super smooth,

40
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: and it's affordable. It's about fifty bucks a bottle. It's

41
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: widely available. I think this is I think this is

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: one of our great finds. More recently, we had one

43
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 3: called Pipe dream. That was another great find that you

44
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,839
Speaker 3: can spend forty bucks a bottle and it's really good. Yeah,

45
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,359
Speaker 3: American Rambler was very it was very good, and it's

46
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 3: affordable and widely available. And that's part of the whole

47
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 3: goal of this of this whole exercise is to unearth

48
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 3: some great whiskies that maybe you were not familiar with prior.

49
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: Have you ever considered a tournament of champion style where

50
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: you take maybe you survey the group you mentioned seventeen,

51
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: I think you do twelve a year or something or

52
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 2: however many are in the group, but maybe do a

53
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: tournament a CHAMPI previous year's winners duking it out for

54
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: what could become the ultimate supremacy and whiskey weekend.

55
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, we we have talked about that. So we've got

56
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,399
Speaker 3: plenty of winners now now some of them you can't

57
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 3: get anymore. Like you know, there are some limited release

58
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: bottles that people have brought ended up winning, and so

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 3: part of the problem has been up until recently, we

60
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 3: probably couldn't get ten bottles, But I think now we're

61
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 3: at a stage where we probably could. And so yeah,

62
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 3: that's that may that may end up happening sooner. Than

63
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 3: sooner or later, hopefully as early as next year, which

64
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: would be fun it all, you know, get the ten

65
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,119
Speaker 3: the ten available winners that we've got and yeah, see

66
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 3: se who ends up winning? That'd be and maybe, well

67
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: i'd have to tell everybody. I was thinking, maybe I

68
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: could surprise everyone and just be like, hey, you know,

69
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: you're not going to believe how great all these bottles are.

70
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: You're gonna love them. But I think they know when

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 3: I'm not asking them all to bring bottles. Absolutely plenty

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 3: to get into.

73
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: In terms of the vikings, the combine and the draft,

74
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I do want to kind of start maybe ten foot view.

75
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw or heard the comments both Kevin

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: O'Connell and acting GM Rob Brazinski getting the chance to

77
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: sit down with Pa and Pete from Indy. Was there

78
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: anything just kind of ten thousand foot view style of

79
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 2: the purple that that stuck out to you. Over the

80
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: course of this week, as Steam Central continues in Indy

81
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: and then over the next two weeks, you got to

82
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: have a lot of levers to be pulled this process.

83
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 2: These wheels are going to start spinning a heck of

84
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 2: a lot faster in the days to come.

85
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: Egan's trying to walk this fine line between saying we

86
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:36,760
Speaker 3: still believe in JJ McCarthy and we have to have another,

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: another better reliable option than JJ McCarthy, and that you

88
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 3: know his you know, we've seen, you know, sort of

89
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 3: the vague statements about the timeline, and you know, it's

90
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: it seems pretty clear that this team is not going

91
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 3: to stand pat when and just bank another season on JJ.

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: And I think that's I think that's appropriate, and I

93
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: think most of the fans would say the same thing.

94
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody most people don't want us to

95
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 3: just give up on JJ at this point, and I

96
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,160
Speaker 3: don't think they do either. And you don't want to

97
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 3: sell low on him unless you're convinced you have Trey Lance.

98
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: Yeah right, Nordo. I mean the forty nine ers went whoops.

99
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 3: You know, they figured out pretty fast he ain't the guy,

100
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 3: and they moved on and they tore the mandate off early.

101
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 3: What the worst case scenario is, you you've got Zach

102
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 3: Wilson and you pour seasons into him, you don't have it.

103
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: You don't develop a backup plan because you don't want

104
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 3: to threaten your starting quarterback. And that's the you know,

105
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 3: you got to fall somewhere between Trey Lance and Zach

106
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: Wilson and with JJ. And I know we don't know

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: enough to know where he is on the spectrum of

108
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: you know, of potential greatness or being a complete bust.

109
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 3: But you know, if if if this organization does not,

110
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 3: you know, based on everything they saw, if they don't

111
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: think this is redeemable, then should tear the band aid

112
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: off with JJ. But otherwise you got to just bring

113
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: somebody else in that can give you functional quarterback play.

114
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: And that's that seems to be the overall messaging at

115
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 3: that position that I've been getting. Well, let me ask

116
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 3: how I read it. Do you read it differently? No,

117
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,599
Speaker 3: I do read it.

118
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: And again the move that they make as it pertains

119
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 2: to QB, which we put together a list here off

120
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 2: the air that you know, we can just kind of

121
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 2: hit our level of interest in as potential options moving forward.

122
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 2: But you know, I kind of look if Kevin O'Connell,

123
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: if the months go by, whatever the addition is, it

124
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,279
Speaker 2: starts to become quite apparent that they're pushing the chips

125
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: again behind JJ McCarthy, that the McCarthy is is going

126
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: to be the starter in twenty twenty six. Is it

127
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 2: the level of faith that you have in JJ's growth

128
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: at this stage or is it more about the level

129
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:51,559
Speaker 2: of faith you have in Kevin O'Connell and that decision making.

130
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: Does that faith remain that if we go back with

131
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 2: JJ in twenty twenty six, that the coach has seen

132
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: something that he ready to continue forward with.

133
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 3: Well, Kevin O'Connell's probably on the hot seat as well, right,

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I don't I don't think Kevin

135
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 3: m I don't think Kevin O'Connell's going to be fired

136
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: at the end of next year. It's something, you know,

137
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 3: it'd have to be something catastrophic, would have to happen.

138
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 3: But Quacy's departure means Kevin O'Connell is carrying the burden

139
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: for team's success on his shoulders. You know, there's there's

140
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 3: nowhere else to shift any blame. And you know, we

141
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: don't know how much friction there was between Kevin O'Connell

142
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: and Quacy. They both always talked about having this cooperative

143
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 3: front office blowingly in which the scouts you know, and

144
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: Quaysy would talk to the coaches, and the coaches and scouts.

145
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 3: They always talked about that. But but life isn't that simple.

146
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: In the NFL pressure cooker coaches and front office people

147
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: blame each other all the time. In the NFL, it's

148
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: just not public. Coaches are saying, you know, we'd have

149
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: more wins if you'd get me better players. You know,

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: I'd be a better I'd look like a better coach.

151
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 3: You got me better players. And the other side of

152
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: it is the front office is saying, I'm giving you

153
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 3: good players, you're not coaching them up. You know, we

154
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 3: told you this guy was going to be good in

155
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 3: this scheme, you had to use them this way, and

156
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: you're not doing it. I mean, that stuff happens all

157
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: the time. We don't know how much of any of

158
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: a fracture there was between Kevin O'Connell and Quacy, but

159
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:23,720
Speaker 3: I find it very interesting, Nordo, the only person gone

160
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: from the Vikings front office is Quacy. Yeah, nobody else, right,

161
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 3: And you know, you look at the you know, the

162
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 3: drafting failures, the bad signings, you know all the things

163
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: that led to Quacy being fired. But it was only Quacy.

164
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: Nobody else got Nobody else had the same that level

165
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 3: of accountability. So it you know, makes you wonder a

166
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: little bit about whether there was some friction between KOs

167
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:53,439
Speaker 3: and Quacy in particular, and now Kos's you know, it's

168
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 3: Kaos's team now you know, you know, at least from

169
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 3: a perception standpoint, and you know, at some point this

170
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,960
Speaker 3: team will have a final general manager. Maybe it's Rob Razinski,

171
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: maybe it's somebody else, but you know, for this season,

172
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: this is going to be a KOC season. And I

173
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 3: don't know if I'm Kevin O'Connell. To get back to

174
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: your original question, I'm giving a very long winded answer

175
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 3: for which I apologize all good. I I don't think

176
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: if I'm Kevin O'Connell and I'm risking my career much

177
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 3: of my career and this season, that it's McCarthy, you

178
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 3: know it's McCarthy or nobody. I just think they. I

179
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 3: just think if you're Kevin O'Connell, you've got to have

180
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: a backup plan that doesn't that doesn't have the potential

181
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: to turn you into a three win season and risk

182
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: your career.

183
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I that's that's where I was kind of going

184
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: with this. On the backside was Yes, the pressure of

185
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: having to win feels like that change, and he even

186
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 2: mentioned kind of we're on a different trajectory your timeline now.

187
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 2: And to paraphrase what the head coach said, Uh so

188
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 2: that lends to the idea that that this isn't going

189
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: to be another Brett Rippon conversation as we get into

190
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: the QBS. But but as we've looked at this chart

191
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 2: and you've chronicled this, we've talked about it a bunch

192
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: nine to noon. In terms of what's out there, I mean,

193
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: my goodness, the spectrum of what the Vikings could add

194
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,440
Speaker 2: to that room is is broad at this point. So

195
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 2: I got six names, I got six names in front

196
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 2: of me, and if we can just gauge our, you know,

197
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: our relative interest level, and we'll start with the steamy

198
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: as to steam me. Yesterday I saw out of Indianapolis

199
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 2: and reports of mutual interest between the Vikings and oft

200
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: injured Anthony Richardson, the former slinger of course, with the

201
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,839
Speaker 2: Gators fourth overall pick and injury issues. I think he's

202
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 2: only played maybe in seventeen or eighteen games thus far.

203
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 2: And what do you think about Anthony Richardson to the mix,

204
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 2: mister Charchian, extremely low interest in Anthony Richardson.

205
00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 3: And all this, all this because Kevin O'Connell was caught

206
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,280
Speaker 3: on Mike giving a giving two sentences of encouragement to

207
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,319
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson a couple of years ago after the epic

208
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: Viking comeback against the Colts. I don't think there's much

209
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,840
Speaker 3: more to it than that, and people just connecting dots

210
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 3: knowing that this the Vikings front office is looking at

211
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 3: all possible quarterback options and Richardson is going to be

212
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 3: one of those. He's going he won't not be a

213
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,199
Speaker 3: Coult after this, But the Vikings already have one young,

214
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 3: often injured, mobile but inaccurate passer. And you know, we've

215
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: seen plenty We've seen not plenty of Richardson. We've seen

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,839
Speaker 3: some Richardson, but what we saw Remember two years ago

217
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 3: he played, he started most of the season, I think

218
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:37,680
Speaker 3: eleven games. Yeah, here's where Anthony Richardson ranked out of

219
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 3: thirty six qualified quarterbacks in two years ago with eleven starters.

220
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,600
Speaker 3: You ready, Nordo, Yeah, there we go, thirty sixth out

221
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 3: of serve thirty six and completion percentage thirty six and

222
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: interception rate thirty six and success rate thirty six and

223
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 3: passer rating thirty third in yards. It was we already

224
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: got one of those guys. We don't you know, we

225
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 3: don't need two of those guys. Two project two young

226
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 3: projects with guys that don't that don't look like they've

227
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 3: got NFL passing or have not demonstrated yet that they

228
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: have NFL passing success. So I think Anthony Richardson to

229
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,560
Speaker 3: me is a is a non starter for where this

230
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: team is right now. Interesting. You know, if you had

231
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 3: to give a seventh round pick, would you do it? Maybe?

232
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,680
Speaker 3: But I still I don't even know if I want

233
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 3: that in my if I want that in my my

234
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 3: quarterback room for sure. Yeah, it's it's a big no

235
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 3: thank you for me.

236
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: It's it's not just the inconsistency by the way that

237
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 2: that ranking system that was not ascending in quality right,

238
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: that would have been descending, no correct, that.

239
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: Would have been last. Those are those thirty six out

240
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: of thirty six were definitely last.

241
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: I can just kind of hit that little sort button

242
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 2: there and maybe just flip that at the top of it.

243
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: If only it was that easy.

244
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 4: Uh.

245
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 2: The injury situation for me, the fact that he hasn't

246
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 2: been able to stay on the field, and and and

247
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: that is a conversation of course, with JJ McCarthy. So

248
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: I think you kind of you found your way to

249
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 2: where I was going with it in terms of I'm

250
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 2: kind of kind of adding a guy with a ton

251
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 2: of unknowns to supplement a guy with a ton of

252
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 2: unknowns like that. That doesn't make any sense to me.

253
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 2: So yeah, I'm definitely out on that now. Next on

254
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 2: the list, there's some unknowns here charge because we know

255
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: that he was here, that's one thing we know. But

256
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:22,960
Speaker 2: we don't know how this Achilles is going to pan

257
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: out for Daniel Jones, And this is a guy entering

258
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: free agency. Maybe some steam that the Colts would like

259
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: him to come back, but it seems unlikely he's available

260
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: for week one, But Daniel Jones certainly will be available

261
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 2: to sign mid March.

262
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:40,640
Speaker 3: What do you think about DJ? Yeah, this one's super complicated.

263
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 3: They could tag him, and I wouldn't blame the Colts

264
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 3: if they did tactically. If they can afford the money tactically,

265
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: it would make a lot of sense because it would

266
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 3: give you yet more options down the road. And if

267
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 3: they don't, where do the Colts go at? Quarterback? Anthony

268
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 3: Richardson's going to be gone? Riley Leonard looked shotingly competent,

269
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: but you know, we don't know if he's going to

270
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: ever be more than a backup. But he was the

271
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 3: sixth round rookie that got forced into action at the

272
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: end of last year. And it's small sample sized, just

273
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 3: a couple of games, but he actually actually looked pretty good.

274
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: And he's a case in point to me about why

275
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: you always draft a quarterback until you've got to proven

276
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,400
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback. And even if it's the sixth round, you

277
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: might get you know, you might get Riley Leonard who

278
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 3: could be good. But for Daniel Jones, you have the

279
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 3: torn acl three years ago and then the torn achilles

280
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 3: and fractured fibrilla last year. You know, Kirk Cousins did

281
00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 3: not look the same off of his his achilles. It's

282
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: frequently a two year injury for quarterbacks for them to

283
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: regain the stability and the strength on that on that leg.

284
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 3: And he's also a guy he's missed he's at clavigal ankle, hamstring, ankle, neck,

285
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: ankle injuries that he's missed time with over the last

286
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 3: five years. And as good as he was for the

287
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 3: Colts in the first half of the season, I don't

288
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. I mean I I have interest because

289
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 3: obviously the Vikings know him and like him, and they

290
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,080
Speaker 3: think that he's a good fit. So Daniel Jones to me,

291
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: I'm intrigued. If it turns out that they end up

292
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 3: passing on him, it would also solve if he's not

293
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: ready for week one. It would let you be able

294
00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 3: to say, well, JJ McCarthy's our week one starter, right,

295
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 3: but that not him. You win on a future starter

296
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 3: past that. But he's not winning on competition. He's winning

297
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: on reps while the other guy gets better or recovers

298
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 3: and rehabilitates. And I'm not sure how much that elevates

299
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 3: the room. How about Malik Willis has gotten a lot

300
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 3: of gotten a lot of pub because of the work

301
00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:39,920
Speaker 3: that he did in substitution of Jordan Love in Green Bay,

302
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 3: and I don't see him as a fit schematically. But

303
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 3: other than that, very limited opportunities for Malik. What do

304
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: you think? All right, so he's gonna make The estimates

305
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: are thirty million a year off of an incredibly small

306
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 3: body of work since Tennessee And as a reminder, in

307
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:02,479
Speaker 3: those two seasons with Tennessee, Milik will Us was horrible.

308
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: He started three games. He didn't top ninety nine passing

309
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: yards in any of them. I mean, double digit passing

310
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: yards in the NFL in three games is absurd. Not

311
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 3: back in all three games. He didn't throw, did not

312
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 3: throw any touchdowns into three games with Tennessee. Then he

313
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: goes to Green Bay two years ago, had to make

314
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: those two emergency starts when Jordan Love had his groin injury,

315
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: and in those games they only let him throw fourteen

316
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 3: and nineteen passes in those two games for the Packers.

317
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 3: One was against the Vikings, or wasn't Did you play

318
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: a whole game against the Vikings? Did he started against

319
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 3: the Vikings two years ago? I remember that correctly, Leak,

320
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 3: did he Brett?

321
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I want to say that Love's first game back from

322
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: the game he was back.

323
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 3: He was awful in the first.

324
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: The Colts once Colts, Yeah, that's exactly right.

325
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 3: They won both. Yes, yes, exactly right. But he came back.

326
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 3: Love came back just in time for the Viking game.

327
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: And you're exactly right. He was horrible in the first

328
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: half and then amazing in the second half. The Animals

329
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 3: won the game. But then this year Milik willis right.

330
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: He started half the game Againt Chicago played really well

331
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 3: and people are like, what he can pass? He was

332
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 3: nine for eleven and then he played the full Week

333
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: seventeen game, which was a game the Packers really wanted

334
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: to win, and he looked great. The Packers defense ended

335
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 3: up giving up forty one points and they took the

336
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 3: loss to Baltimore. But he was really good. Eighteen receptions,

337
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:30,399
Speaker 3: two hundred and eighty eight yards, no picks, sixty rushing yards,

338
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: two rushing touchdowns. I mean, you know, in that game

339
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 3: he looked amazing. But ninety million dollars a year probably

340
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 3: get you know, much of it guaranteed spanning three or

341
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 3: four years for Mlik Willis. That's that is a lot

342
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 3: of faith on a guy who's put together one and

343
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 3: a half good games in the Green Bay system. So

344
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:52,920
Speaker 3: man from the Vikings, that's I don't think I would

345
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 3: want to make that kind of commitment on one and

346
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 3: a half games. I feel like you already have a

347
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 3: high risk, high reward player on roster in jay No.

348
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: I think I'm with you there as well, Malik. It's

349
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 3: a scheme thing.

350
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 2: Plus, I mean, that's a lot of money to get

351
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: in on a party with so few reps.

352
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 3: Let's do this charge. I'm gonna pause.

353
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 2: I got a couple more names for you, and then

354
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: I want to dig into maybe two or three more

355
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 2: Vikings bits with you next segment, if that's all right

356
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: with you. That's Paul Charchi in live from Utah checking

357

369
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,679
Speaker 2: joining me, staying with me from Utah as Paul Charchie

370
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: and just running through some of the options that are

371
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 2: available at QB potentially again the broad spectrum that exists

372
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: certainly and some of the specific options dialing into it

373
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 2: We had mentioned Anthony Richardson, Daniel Jones, and Malik Willis

374
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: appearing to be pretty much in step in tune in

375
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: terms of just not necessarily interested.

376
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 3: Well, Daniel Jones would probably be the most interesting.

377
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: Of that group. But the Achilles throws everything into whack.

378
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,679
Speaker 2: Next up here. You know, this has kind of been

379
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: a talker chart. A year ago, it sounded like we

380
00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 2: had two parties. We had the pro and anti Aaron

381
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 2: Rodgers party, maybe even within the building and even itself,

382
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: and we had a lot of athletic reporting to the

383
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 2: validity of it.

384
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 3: It doesn't happen. He goes to Pittsburgh.

385
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: We saw him DK metcalf eighty yards against US in

386
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: Dublin and they found their way to the playoffs where

387
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: they lost Rogers. I think that it would be heavily

388
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 2: favored that he either returns to Pittsburgh or retires.

389
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 3: But what do you think about a Rodgers is an option? Well,

390
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 3: you know, first, I think at this time last year,

391
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: most of us weren't very interested in Aaron Rodgers because

392
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 3: he was coming off the bad Jets years and like

393
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 3: we really want do we want that? But the Jets

394
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 3: poison everybody. Everybody plays worse for the Jets. Right, And

395
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,639
Speaker 3: the version of Aaron Rodgers that we saw in Pittsburgh

396
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 3: was pretty good. The velocity was down because he used

397
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: to have a cannon and now he's just like an

398
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 3: average NFL passer. But the poise, the obvious will to win,

399
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 3: the leadership, the guile, it all still seems to be there, Nordo.

400
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 3: And you know, Pittsburgh only had DK Metcalf and basically

401
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 3: no other receivers on the team, and he still ended

402
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 3: up statistically as an NFL average quarterback fifteenth and passing

403
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 3: yards fourteenth and touchdowns. He didn't throw down field a lot,

404
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 3: but again and also the receivers weren't there to do

405
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 3: that for the most part. So I don't know. And

406
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 3: by all accounts, you got along great with the Steelers

407
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 3: coaching staff and players. Right. There was all of that.

408
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,119
Speaker 3: There was all of that with Aaron Rodgers that we

409
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: didn't know about, like was is he a poison? Is

410
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 3: he cancer? Is he gonna make make you sign Randall Cobb?

411
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: All that stuff. None of that, None of that came

412
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,399
Speaker 3: together in Pittsburgh, and it sounded like everybody liked Aaron

413
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:30,440
Speaker 3: Rodgers and he was a professional and in a better organization.

414
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers played pretty well last year, and in my mind,

415
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 3: I think I think Aaron Rodgers is a vibe. If

416
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 3: if this team really believes the best thing for JJ

417
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 3: McCarthy is to learn for another year on the bench,

418
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,479
Speaker 3: sit back down and watch Aaron Rodgers go about his

419
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 3: business for a year, Yeah, then i'd be Then I'd

420
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 3: be in favor of that. I would have favor of that.

421
00:21:57,480 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 3: But you have to really have a fundamental belief that

422
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,160
Speaker 3: JJ karthy's going to get good or else. I don't

423
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,879
Speaker 3: want to put in a forty what year old quarterback

424
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: at this point. I mean, that's the only scenario where

425
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 3: I want Aaron Rodgers if there's still long term belief

426
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 3: in JJ McCarthy. Yeah, and that's that's where I stick.

427
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 3: I lack.

428
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 2: I gotta be honest, I haven't seen enough of JJ.

429
00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: But what i've seen I lack faith in and so

430
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 2: and it's the health as much as it is trying

431
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: to master the scheme and all the things that Kevin

432
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 2: O'Connell wants him to do.

433
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 3: I would be.

434
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 2: But then that goes back to my faith in Kevin O'Connell,

435
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 2: because I do believe I think you hit the nail

436
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: on the head charts if they were to go with Rogers.

437
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 2: By the way, you're not benching Rogers at any point

438
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: in time during twenty twenty six. So say for a

439
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 2: health issue, it would be a Rogers season, and that

440
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: would tell me that they believe that there's something there

441
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 2: and that this seasoning period behind number twelve would be

442
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 2: would be worth every bit of it.

443
00:22:57,680 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 3: So Rogers, Yes, Okay.

444
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 2: How about this Derek Carr talking I can't remember who

445
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: he was talking to, media podcast, et cetera. I kind

446
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 2: of mention, you know, I might be interested in coming

447
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 2: out of retirement if I had the opportunity to win

448
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: a Super Bowl. Well, I mean I had Greenway in

449
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,160
Speaker 2: studio earlier. Man, I mean, I'm sure Greenway would would

450
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 2: want to come out of retirement if he was told

451
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,479
Speaker 2: he had a chance to win a super Bowl. So

452
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: that's that's threatening the needle, right, Get in line, buddy.

453
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:31,879
Speaker 2: But Derek, Derek Carr, what do you think turns thirty

454
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 2: five in a month?

455
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 3: Now? You know a few years ago, thirty five are

456
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 3: quarterbacks felt like a death Now not anymore. Now we

457
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: feel like we can still get good play out of

458
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:43,919
Speaker 3: quarterbacks of the thirty five. Derek Carr always played for

459
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: bad franchises in a bad spot, right Oakland, then to

460
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 3: Las Vegas, and then he was on a sputtering Saints organization.

461
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 3: He did have I had forgotten this. Looked up Derek

462
00:23:56,359 --> 00:24:00,360
Speaker 3: Carr yesterday. He had one great year in Oakland. They

463
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 3: were they were a twelve win team and he finished

464
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 3: third in MVP voting in his third season. Derek Carr did.

465
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 3: But other than that one year, he's always felt and

466
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 3: looked like an NFL average quarterback. Yeah, I mean the biggest,

467
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: the best things you could say about Derek cars. He

468
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 3: didn't throw a ton of picks, he didn't absorb a

469
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 3: lot of sacks. It's just he looked like an NFL

470
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 3: average quarterback. But that was in Oakland in Las Vegas.

471
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 3: I mean, look at as as a as a connecting point,

472
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: look at Gino Smith, who looked like an NFL average

473
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 3: quarterback for the Saints. Then he goes to Oakland or

474
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 3: Las Vegas and he looks impossibly bad in that in

475
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 3: in that organization. So you know, maybe had Derek Carr

476
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,399
Speaker 3: not played for Oakland, Las Vegas in the Saints, maybe

477
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 3: he would have been a much better quarterback and maybe

478
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: still got good play in him. And maybe he's he

479
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: sort of fits his style of play is a better

480
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 3: fit for Kevin Kevin O'Connell than most of the guys

481
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 3: that we've been talking about. So yeah, I mean, maybe

482
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 3: maybe there's a little something there. I'd I'd like to

483
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 3: learn more about him. And you know, does he self

484
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: game left? What does the arm look like? Can you

485
00:25:05,840 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 3: throw a thirty yard out pass anymore? You know, if

486
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: he checks some boxes and you don't have to pay

487
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: much of anything, he's still technically a saint. You'd have

488
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 3: to give him something. But if it's a Day three

489
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 3: pick and you want and you feel really confident in

490
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 3: what Derek Carr can do athletically, I'm kind of honestly,

491
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 3: I'm kind of intrigued, Nordo. I mean, do you think

492
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 3: I'm crazy to even give that even kick the.

493
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 2: Tires on car no, as as of this moment, as

494
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 2: of this list, and really just looking at everything that's

495
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: out there, it's kind of my favorite option if those

496
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: boxes are checked. I mean, and I don't know how

497
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 2: much of this is is just recency, emotion or the

498
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: bias of you see a Philip Rivers out there and

499
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: just watching him just basically come off the street. He

500
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 2: was coaching high school football a couple of weeks ago,

501
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: and now he's he's commanding the line of scrimmage in

502
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 2: a primetime game in the NFL. So maybe there's recency

503
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 2: bias there, But in terms of with what Ko wants

504
00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: to accomplish on the field, I think Carr so far

505
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 2: is is the is the best match of that bunch.

506
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: I'd love it.

507
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 2: And then they have to investigate it, as you mentioned,

508
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: and how serious is he and all of that, But

509
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 2: from an age perspective, if he's healthy.

510
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: I think he I think he does that charge.

511
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 2: I think it's kind of my favorite option at this moment,

512
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: as weird as it is. Uh we we we got

513
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 2: a guy, we talked a guy out of retiring, you

514
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 2: know some time ago, had a little success with that

515
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: at least for one season. Maybe we can talk Derek

516
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 2: Carr out of retirement and roll this thing through and

517
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: you know.

518
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 3: What, what what what would that say?

519
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: Though?

520
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: Does is that still the we have faith in JJ

521
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,439
Speaker 2: long term? But this could be a one year test

522
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: run with Derek, And because if Derek at thirty five

523
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:50,480
Speaker 2: finds his legs has a terrific season. Are you moving

524
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: on for Derek from Derek Carr after one year? That

525
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 2: starts to kind of change the frame of of of

526
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 2: what this means for the future of Number nine.

527
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:03,199
Speaker 3: Now, I mean, if Derek Carr is a NFL average quarterback,

528
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,199
Speaker 3: I mean, if the Vikings had an NFL average quarterback

529
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 3: starting sixteen seventeen games last year they had gone to

530
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 3: the playoffs. Yes, you know, if they can get NFL

531
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 3: average play out of Derek Carr, that it resets your

532
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: timeline for a couple of years to find your next quarterback.

533
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 3: You know. So even if you bring Derek Carr in

534
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 3: this season and he's functional for you, and he starts

535
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 3: seventeen games and he's decent to me, all he's doing

536
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 3: is extending the timeline for you to go get your

537
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 3: your next great young quarterback, including if that's JJ McCarthy

538
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:35,239
Speaker 3: or not. I mean, you can't just sit on your

539
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 3: hands for those Derek Carr. You know, a year or

540
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 3: two with Derek Carr, you'd have to be actively trying

541
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 3: to get your quarterback in the future and finding out

542
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: whether or not that's JJ McCarthy's. Now there's one more here.

543
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 3: Oh my god, Kirk, I save.

544
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,360
Speaker 2: This one for last charge, because clearly you're just going

545
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 2: to champion the cause of Kirk Cousins coming back to Minnesota.

546
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 3: Even I can't do it. Oh okay, I you know, Okay.

547
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 3: So they the Vikings made the right decision, and Quacy

548
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,679
Speaker 3: made the right decision to not resign Kirk. Yeah, and

549
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,159
Speaker 3: let's remember what a bizarre turn of events it was

550
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,920
Speaker 3: for the Falcons to guarantee the two hundred million dollars

551
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 3: to Kirk Cousins and six weeks later to draft his

552
00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:26,919
Speaker 3: immediate replacement. I mean, that is, you know, oh, unprecedented.

553
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 3: You've never seen something like this, and it ultimately was

554
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 3: probably the right move to make. That Michael Pennock selection,

555
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 3: who ended up taking over mid season two years ago

556
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: because Cousins wasn't right off the achilles this past year.

557
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,719
Speaker 3: He ended up getting pushed onto the field when Penix

558
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: went down, and Penix, frankly had wasn't playing that great

559
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: mid season, and once he got hurt, I thought Cousins

560
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: looked okay. He started eight games, he won five of

561
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 3: the eight. He threw ten touchdowns against five picks, but

562
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 3: the arm definitely missing the velocity the downfield passing was bad.

563
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,280
Speaker 3: Get this on Kirk. On deep passes twenty or more yards,

564
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 3: he completed twenty eight percent of his passes, second lowest

565
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 3: in the little I just think the arms, just the

566
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 3: arm and the velocity is just not there for Kirk. Yeah.

567
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 3: So as much as I as much you know, as

568
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 3: much of as Kirk supporter as I was when he

569
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 3: was here, I don't, I don't. This is not it's

570
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 3: not my preference to bring him back.

571
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 2: As we wrap this whole thing up, charge and again

572
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 2: I appreciate you for the time this morning. Just uh,

573
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 2: just again scratching surface, trying to dig into names. There

574
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: are a couple of safeties that are kind of interesting.

575
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,719
Speaker 2: Couple of running backs in fact, like what are what

576
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:41,120
Speaker 2: as this combine? You? You just you're paying attention to steam,

577
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: You're digging into it as you do. Just what what

578
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: is a focus for you out of this week into

579
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: uh into eventually what will be a busy draft talker season.

580
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: Well, the best thing about the combine is you really

581
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: start to shake out where players are going to go

582
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 3: in the draft, which to me is very important as

583
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: we try to figure out which holes the vikings are

584
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,160
Speaker 3: going to fill. You know, we thought part of the

585
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 3: whole reason to get a rookie quarterback is so that

586
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 3: you could fill holes at other positions and you don't

587
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: have to have massive need at a lot of places.

588
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 3: But the Vikings kind of do have massive need at

589
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 3: a lot of other spots. Is it going to be

590
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 3: tight end with the presumed cut of TJ. Hopkinson? Do

591
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 3: we need a new center? Probably? Do we need more

592
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:29,360
Speaker 3: interior defensive line help yes, do we need cornerback help yes,

593
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: safety help yes. And so trying to shake out who's

594
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 3: going to be there at eighteen for the Vikings gets

595
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: pretty interesting, including the potentially the top tight end off

596
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 3: the board could be there. Yeah, I don't think there's

597
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 3: going to be a center that's worthy of that pick. No,

598
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 3: you could probably get you could probably get the second

599
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: best safety on the board if you want to with

600
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 3: that pick. That's part of the fun of it and

601
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 3: trying to unearth some other guys that can help. You

602
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 3: need a running back, right, do we need a running back?

603
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 3: Mason Jordan good enough to do it? My well, Jeorde.

604
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean the issue right now is you talk about

605
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 2: pulling levers from a financial perspective, Love Love Aaron Jones,

606
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: but thirty one thirty two Ish only played I think

607
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 2: twelve games last year. Injuries have been a concern for

608
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 2: him over the course of his career, and he's making

609
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: big money. You might save six seven eight million dollars

610
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: if you did decide to part ways. And the explosive

611
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 2: nature of the run game is something this team lacks.

612
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: And so you know Pa, you know, and he's a

613
00:31:29,760 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 2: local kid too, so it's fun to root for these guys.

614
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 2: But PA's been hot on Emma Johnson, the local kid

615
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 2: who's coming out of Nebraska. Or you think about Jeremiah

616
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 2: Love with Notre Dame. But there's a Judaian Price cat

617
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,760
Speaker 2: from Notre Dame as well that was a playmaker. So yeah,

618
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: running back, that can't be out of the conversation.

619
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 3: I don't think. I don't think it can either. I mean,

620
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,760
Speaker 3: you know, there's a lot, there's there's a lot of

621
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:57,520
Speaker 3: the likelihood is that Jeremiah Love doesn't get past the

622
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs at number nine. That should be who the Chiefs take,

623
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 3: given that they really need to diversify their offense. I

624
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 3: think you'll go at nine. And I don't think the

625
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 3: Vikings would spend I don't think there's another running back

626
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 3: that's worth spending eighteen pick eighteen for the Vikings, agreed,

627
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 3: So if you're gonna go a little bit deeper, yeah,

628
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 3: I mean Jadarium Price. I mean, how good of running

629
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 3: back do you have to be to take reps away

630
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 3: from Jeremiah Love? I mean it, you know that that

631
00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 3: could be a guy that you end up that ends

632
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:29,760
Speaker 3: up being a possibility, possibility for the Vikings in this

633
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 3: as early as the second round pick forty nine for

634
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 3: the Vikings, Jadarian Price could end up making a lot

635
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 3: of sense. Definitely.

636
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 2: Man, Hey, thank you for giving me some time this morning,

00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 2: to be some news, of course, just a couple of

00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 2: weeks from free agency.

00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:48,920
Speaker 4: Final segment nine to noon on a Friday, And when

658
00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:52,960
Speaker 4: I've learned after a couple of cool Combine shows, some

659
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 4: dream weaving, some steamrolling, some conversations, and now just as

660
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 4: recent as his last segment and a half.

661
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: Which charch and even a text message with this mic

662
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:09,200
Speaker 2: in Bismarck Norton, Hey Norton. The only option at QB

663
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:11,880
Speaker 2: that makes the most sense is the option you didn't discuss,

664
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 2: and that's Carson Wentz. So after all that steamy stuff

665
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,560
Speaker 2: coming out of Combine mutual interest, you heard Ronda Moss,

666
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:25,560
Speaker 2: we still don't have any idea what the hell this

667
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: team's going to do to raise the level of the

668
00:34:29,280 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: QB room. Now, talk about raising the level coming out

669
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 2: of a pause. Last night, the Minnesota Wild beat the

670
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 2: Avalanche five to two, and you played some audio earlier

671
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 2: from their vox. Connor mcgaheo, who is terrific, but he's

672
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,759
Speaker 2: a fan of the Avs. He wants the Apps. He

673
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:51,560
Speaker 2: lives and dies like the Aves. He's a mile high

674
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 2: roube in the same way that we are Midwest roubs.

675
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 2: And you said you had some audio for us.

676
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do. So let's let's recap the first goal.

677
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: It's like it's a personal attack that the Wild possibly

678
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 1: could score against his team.

679
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 5: Very Boldie right down broadways saved made and I couldn't

680
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 5: by Joel Ericson, huh.

681
00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:12,800
Speaker 3: The pen throw.

682
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:19,319
Speaker 5: So ridiculous that the Avalanche had to even be shorthanded

683
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,759
Speaker 5: in that situation. I've never seen a more undeserved goal

684
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 5: in my entire life. What an absolute shade Boldie let

685
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 5: it go. And Joel ericsonek who bible was it a

686
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:31,840
Speaker 5: soft penalty?

687
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:35,439
Speaker 1: I didn't think so, but I'm sure in his mind

688
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 1: it was. But every goal, I mean, there's five of them.

689
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 1: Every goal just gets better.

690
00:35:40,400 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 5: The task I'm talk for hughes Boldie again, doesn't take

691
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,000
Speaker 5: a shot back door fee thrown in front and they

692
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 5: store to pros all.

693
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 3: I love the silence.

694
00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, that was a paper crumple and throw listen.

695
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 3: And they store capriz off does sound more like a

696
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:07,200
Speaker 3: candy wrapper.

697
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:12,600
Speaker 5: Well, now they're saying Eric Sanek again. So he hasn't

698
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 5: scored in this century against the Avalanche, and now he's

699
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 5: got two power play goals, both undeserved.

700
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 3: He's so unlucky. I love this guy. This is awesoor.

701
00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 3: Excuse me, yes.

702
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:28,839
Speaker 5: I'm Eric Zanek intended for caprice of it goes off

703
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 5: the right leg of black Wooden in he was so

704
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:36,719
Speaker 5: good as the Avalanche have been shorthanded for a majority

705
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 5: of this period. Don't take that Hartman around the outside

706
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,440
Speaker 5: Hartman touch starts for that rebound is they're throwing the

707
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:43,520
Speaker 5: front back going.

708
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 3: The flot goes in, good crowded.

709
00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:51,480
Speaker 2: Ball arena and the wild fans having a blast.

710
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 5: No roads winning this game, but they're going to.

711
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 3: It's no business winning the game, listen.

712
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 5: Wow, have no business winning this game, but they're going to.

713
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 2: Got I love this and you know what you know

714
00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 2: that's man, that's a beautiful thing. We're just we're hot

715
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: on Team USA. Team's back. How are they gonna look?

716
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,480
Speaker 2: They partied, It looked like they had and slept in

717
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: three days.

718
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: They roll up there. No McKinnon the night before, but

719
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 3: he's back.

720
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: And McKinnon it probably should have gotten an assist on

721
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,239
Speaker 2: that boldy empty net or there towards the end.

722
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 3: But but the wild come away five too. Man. I

723
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 3: love that.

724
00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,320
Speaker 2: I love and and I don't love the playoff format.

725
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so you're you're just cannibalizing the high

726
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 2: end talent of your of your league in the in

727
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 2: the early rounds of the tournament by doing that. But

728
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 2: that's freaking awesome, man.

729
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:46,760

732
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 2: us five to one. Now we come back, we smacked

733
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: them five to two. Let's the abs are so damn good.

734
00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:02,360
Speaker 2: But your favorite hockey team, our favorite hockey team is

735

00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:07,839
Speaker 2: it from McGahee. These games freaking matter, these rivalries really matter.

737
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 2: And looking forward to seeing them handle it with another

738
