Speaker 4: Pretty good?

21
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 2: I have some good news for you, and it's basketball

22
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: but non basketball related. I figured you needed it. I'll

23
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: explain that momentarily so nine to noon, I'm here at

24
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: the fan. We do a show called The Friday Football

25
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: Feast where we're at a Buffalo Wild Wings each and

26
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: every Friday during the football season. We have a fantasy

27
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: football component part of the show, like half a segment,

28
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: and a group called Fantasycres Fantasycares dot Org, led by

29
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: a guy named Scott Fish that they came to us

30
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 2: at the Friday Football Feast and for all the points

31
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: we're amassing three of us, they're giving fifty dollars a point. So,

32
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: for instance, my group has fifty four points, which means

33
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: twenty seven hundred dollars is heading the way of Second

34
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: Harvest Heartland as of now, and we still have four

35
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: weeks to go. So if I can get hot with

36
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: wide receivers, running backs tied, and quarterbacks, that means a

37
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 2: Second Harvest Heartland will continue to attain this philanthropic money

38
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: from a Fantasycres dot Org.

39
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: Pretty cool.

40
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: Oh, that's awesome. I really appreciate that support. I'll tell

41
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: you what, Yeah, I'll match you every dollar that your

44
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,560

45
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, so we're all right, well, well we're on wide

46
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: receivers this week. I don't know first first wide receiver

47
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: that comes to your mind that you think is going

48
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: to have a big touchdown scoring week this week. And

49
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: let's eliminate Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Antonio Brown, and Devonte Smith.

50
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 2: Two of my favorites, two of your favorites. So what

Speaker 6: For me.

53
00:03:55,080 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's say, uh, Pickens with a big bounce back performer right.

54
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: Right right in the face of the Vikings on Sunday

55
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: Night Football.

56
00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, you don't need to make that.

57
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Didn't mean that, Yeah, you didn't need to take that

58
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 2: Sun's loss out on the nine to noon radio show

59
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: with Pickens right in our face on Sunday Night Football.

60
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 2: You know what, Well, that's the first name you said.

61
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 2: So we're gonna go with George Pickens. And once again,

65
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: Good just keeps getting better. That's really cool. And I

66
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 2: figured you needed the good news out of the gate.

67
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you're fifteen and nine, it's not a bad record,

68
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: but nevertheless, figured you needed the good news off the

69
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: loss to the Suns. Then you get home and start

70
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: to chill watch overtime football and your Eagles lose. It

71
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: was it was just a rough night for our finchy

72
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: last night.

73
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a rough night. I mean, it's a

74
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: It was a game that you know, we needed to

75
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,279
Speaker 1: we needed to win it, but we kind of just

76
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: you know, they'll go bear rejection certainly hurt us. We

77
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: didn't shoot the ball well from the perimeter. You know,

78
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: all credit to the Suns. They did what they did

79
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: and we weren't able to measure up. So disappointing one

80
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: last night, but we gotta gotta gotta get back back

81
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: in the saddle. This weekend kind of an odd time

82
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: of the year in the schedule because of the NBA Cup,

83
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 1: So we we really do get a couple of practice

84
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 1: days this week, which is I think exactly what we

85
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: need to try to find find a find a few

86
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: things in our offense that have been lacking. And uh, yeah,

87
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I try to get you know, build a build a

88
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: new little streak here. Yeah.

89
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 2: You you know, I I've read you saying this and

90
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: heard it in your press conferences, and you've said it

91
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 2: here about developing good habits, just developing.

92
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 7: Habit after habit after habit. That's good.

93
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,359
Speaker 2: And and you know, last night was strange because it

94
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: was another for me and I joked with you about

95
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: this last week. I think it was that first New

96
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: Orleans game. I thought you had those guys every step

97
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: of the way despite some shoddy shooting Rudy gets ejected

98
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,919
Speaker 2: your twenty six percent from three.

99
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 4: The twenty six percent from three.

100
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: That, Uh, that kind of foiled you last night, didn't it.

101
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 4: It did?

102
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and you know, we had good looks by

103
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: good shooters who have been shooting the ball well so

104
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: far for us this season. But you know, sometimes that's

105
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 1: going to happen. But have them all kind of pile

106
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: up on us with a bunch of subpart performances that

107
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: that definitely hurt. But you know we're gonna find ways

108
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: to find other ways to win games like that.

109
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, the uh.

110
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: And and with with the perpetual slow starts, granted, you've

111
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 2: come back and you know one affair amount of them

112
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,279
Speaker 2: that I would imagine that's a habit with practice time.

113
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: But that's a habit you want to break, right, Oh,

114
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 2: no doubt about.

115
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 1: It's something that we've discussed. I mean it was you know,

116
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: I think Julius made said it in his postgame press conference. Uh,

117
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: you know that we you know, we kind of got

118
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: what we deserved there because at some point in time

119
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 1: we're going to catch up to us and and you

120
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: know I think we we we well, we never felt

121
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: fell behind, you know big like we had another other

122
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 1: slow starts. You know, it's still you know, a good team.

123
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: Phoenix is a very good team of having an outstanding season,

124
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: and they have a strong identity played to it every

125
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: single night. And you know those types of teams are

126
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: not going to just kind of let you back in

127
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: the game easily.

128
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: Maybe the you do you happen to remember the Kobe

129
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: Kobe Bryant story from Lower Mary in high school.

130
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 4: God restless soul of Kobe.

131
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 2: But I don't know, Maybe they're big Kobe Bryant fans

132
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: and they're like purposely getting behind so they can come

133
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: steaming back and win it in dramatic fashion.

134
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 4: That'd be a bad habit. But Kobe used to do that,

135
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 4: remember that.

136
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, it seems like the life we've been living recently.

137
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, well the wins are great, but you know,

138
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: we're not playing our best basketball right now. We're going

139
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: to figure out how to give that back to doing that.

140
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: Anthony got to the basket when he wanted mostly, and

141
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,120
Speaker 2: it didn't seem like I mean, you know, I'm not

142
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 2: trying to be Jack Ramsey here, but it didn't seem

143
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 2: like the doubles on him were as voluminous as some

144
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: other games. He was twelve or fourteen from two. He

145
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: and Julius go five of eleven from three. But first,

146
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 2: with Anthony getting to the basket effortlessly, are there times

147
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: that you just like want to unleash him because they

148
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: had minimal chance of stopping him off the dribble.

149
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he didn't face a lot of double

150
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: teams last night. Maybe a few here and there spot situations.

151
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: He was able to kind of get to wherever he

152
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: wanted to go last night. You know, shut the ball

153
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: well from the mid range, he got to the basket.

154
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 1: You know, his shot selection was it was pretty high

155
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: level last night. For me. You know, he mixed it up. Well,

156
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: I'd still like to see him kind of commit to

157
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: a few more threes a game. I think that are

158
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: there for him. But yeah, you know, all in all,

159
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: I thought he, you know, played a really good offensive

160
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: game last night.

161
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, And what I was getting out there is that

162
00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: like if you unleash Anthony and he constantly goes to

163
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,599
Speaker 2: the basket, then ball could get sticky, could be a

164
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: little ball hogged to it. But it's it's with Phoenix,

165
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 2: you know. I just I just wonder what the lack

166
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 2: of doubles is that like scheme? I mean, in other words,

167
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 2: you know, this guy is going to get us from two,

168
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 2: but your other guys are cold from three, So we're

169
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 2: gonna let him shoot those threes until they get hot,

170
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 2: you know, Like like did they do that last night?

171
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: I mean they you know, I'm not sure that was

172
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: there in tent. I thought, you know, they do. They

173
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 1: try to switch a lot to slow you down on

174
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: the perimeter. For sure. They generally collapsed pretty well around

175
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 1: around the ball, certainly around your main guys like.

176
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,560
Speaker 6: Julius and.

177
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 1: Anthony, And I thought those guys created a lot of

178
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: good shots for their teammates, and we just didn't connect

179
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: on them. And we have some big ones in the

180
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: in the you know, in the heart of the game

181
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,560
Speaker 1: at the end there that we really needed to go

182
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: in that didn't go in. But yeah, I mean, I

183
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,839
Speaker 1: mean generally they're more of a pressure team than they

184
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 1: are a double team, and you know, with a lot

185
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: of their injuries that they have, they weren't able to

186
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 1: extend the pressure like they normally do.

187
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 4: What's up?

188
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: What's the preach to Rudy after the forearm to Mark

189
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: Williams Ribs and the ejection.

190
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,000
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I would say, I'll start by saying this, like,

191
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I you know, I feel Rudy's frustrations obviously, like you

192
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: got to keep your emotions under control. A couple of

193
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: plays later, you just got whacked in the head. You know,

194
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I think you know, haven't watched it now for three

195
00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: plus seasons. I'm not sure there's many teams, many players

196
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: in the league. Rather that I have a piece taken

197
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: out of him nearly every every single time down the floor.

198
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: Then Rudy, you know, I think he gets cheap shoted

199
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: a lot and then he gets held a lot. I

200
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 1: think he's hitting the head in the face a lot.

201
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: And you know, oftentimes new we're told, oh, that's incidental contact,

202
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 1: that's part of the game, et cetera. Well, while it

203
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,680
Speaker 1: might be, you know, it can't all be the way.

204
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 1: And I would say too, sometimes you get frustrated, you know,

205
00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: it's frustrated with some people taking the swing that yell

206
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: all the time, and you just you don't get the

207
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: protection that you need. And you know, so he's been

208
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: a little bit frustrated with that. I think this year,

209
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: I didn't think that that play warned an ejection. I

210
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 1: thought it was, you know, all means a flagrant one,

211
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,440
Speaker 1: but a flagrant two. I didn't see see that in it.

212
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: I didn't see any wind up. I didn't see any extension,

213
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,720
Speaker 1: you know. I saw a foe arms of the ribs

214
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 1: to a guy who was you know, elevated, which I

215
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: can understand why that would be flagrant one. But I

216
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: did not see flagrant too in that call.

217
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: After after Williams went to swiping and hit Rudy in

218
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 2: the head, Gobert showed good restraint. I mean because he

219
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: like popped up and he wanted to go, but he

220
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: showed good restraint there, but then just could couldn't hold it.

221
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 2: You know when Williams went to the basket, right.

222
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. And then I mean, you know,

223
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: in terms of wind up and wind up and intent,

224
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: which is you know, which is part of the criteria

225
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: of assessing these things. You know, I would say Williams

226
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: had a lot more wind up and intent when he

227
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: hit Rudy in the head than Rudy did when he

228
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: hit him in the ribs.

229
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 6: Right.

230
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 2: Uh. The Chris Finch, coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Courtesy

231
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 2: of Second Harvest Heartland and a two Harvest dot or

232
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 2: Chris is on the board referee Tyler Ford, I don't know, well,

233
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 2: you know, but how about his explanations after the flagrance.

234
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: I mean he's like, he asked, Tyler what time it is?

235
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 2: He's going to tell you how the watch was built?

236
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean, listen, it's become a bit of

237
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: a thing, you know, these post review explanations, you know,

238
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 1: become a bit of a thing. There's a few referees

239
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: around the league and getting known for it. Honestly, I

240
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: think it's a it's you know, it's a bad look.

241
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: You know, make the call, get away from the monitor

242
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: and let's move the game along. That's really where it

243
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: should be.

244
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: And too bad with that Rudy ejection. Too man, he

245
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: had fifteen to eight and five offensive rebounds, you know

246
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: before he got tossed and after that did in what

247
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: ways did Phoenix take advantage of, like being around the

248
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,679
Speaker 2: rim after and getting to the rim after Rudy's exclusion.

249
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 4: Well, they did a good job.

250
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: Of finding Willins down there in the dunker spot when

251
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: they would penetrate, you know, the turns. I think with

252
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 1: Rudy on the floor as much higher, maybe they don't

253
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 1: even go, but I thought where it really may have

254
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: heard us as offensively we were dominating him on the

255
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: offensive glass. Rudy was headed for a big game, and

256
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: you know that we really could have used his presence

257
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: at the offensive end is just as much as the

258
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: defensive vent.

259
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 2: You up, you dusted off Bones Highland last night, Bones Highland,

260
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 2: what'd you like?

261
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: Yeah?

262
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 8: It was you know, I said about twenty five games

263
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 8: in and it's time to you know, shuffle it up

264
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 8: a little bit. Bones has been uh, really really patient,

265
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 8: and you know, oh is you can't play all these

266
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 8: guys all the time. So sometimes you pick a path

267
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 8: and you see it out and you see what happens,

268
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 8: and then you know, Bones certainly deserved his chance to

269
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:49,320
Speaker 8: play now, and he responded with with with good scoring.

270
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 8: You know we need we need some scoring, We need

271
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 8: some shooting, we need some handling, we need everything that

272
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 8: he can give us.

273
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 7: Uh.

274
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: And you saw that last night, you know, and in

275
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes of play. So it was good to see.

276
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: I was happy for him and hopefully we can build

277
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: on that.

278
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 2: Anthony Edwards seems to enjoy playing with Bones Highland.

279
00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 4: Is that accurate?

280
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 1: Oh for sure. I mean Bones has got a great energy.

281
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: I think a lot of his teammates enjoyed playing with them.

282
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 2: For Phoenix, No Booker, no Devin Booker did. Did Does

283
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 2: that change? How does that change the way they play? Well?

284
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: I mean they played very similar and all kind to

285
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Booker for having kind of adopted and folded into this

286
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 1: new style of play which they're playing. You know, it's

287
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: less Iso driven, it's less certainly less star driven, because

288
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: they just don't have that component to their roster. They

289
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: play a lot more up tempo, they move the ball quicker,

290
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 1: their decision making is quicker. Certainly Booker is at the

291
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: heart of a lot of that. But you know where

292
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: they're going to miss the most, or where they do

293
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: miss the most is kind of on demand scoring and

294
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 1: in clutch games scoring. Now against us, he found out

295
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 1: in game one they were able to to get the money,

296
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: as you say, by making big shots down the stretch.

297
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 8: Uh.

298
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: In game two they did the same thing. So you

299
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: know in that regard, they haven't missed him against us

300
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: in two games. But of course he's a great player.

301
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 1: You're always gonna always gonna miss those guys.

302
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: Right with back to bones for a second. With with

303
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 2: with bones Highland is part of this. You're not not

304
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 2: only looking for bench scoring or scoring, especially during the

305
00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: night where where you guys just weren't hitting as many

306
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 2: shots as you normally hit. But with bones, are you

307
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: looking for a spark or consistency at the point guard spot?

308
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, no doubt. I mean we need we need

309
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: to we need off the bench scoring, you know, playmaking,

310
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: all the things that he can do. Uh. And you

311
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: know he's got he's got you know, he's been in

312
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: a league now number of years, got enough experience that

313
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 1: you know he kind of can figure out things and

314
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: fit right into it. He knows who he is right now,

315
00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: who he needs to be for us. But yeah, you know,

316
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 1: if Nas hasn't been scoring for us off the bench,

317
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: then our bench scoring is very kind of inconsistent.

318
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 2: Sons coach Jordan not a Pennsylvania native. Do you know

319
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:19,360
Speaker 2: the guy at all?

320
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: I do not.

321
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 6: I do not.

322
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, he and and you.

323
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 2: Know, I'll watch the Suns every so often with Booker

324
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 2: or without and and you know it's without Devin. They

325
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: lack star power, as you said, But he has those

326
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: guys playing hard. He has them playing a scrappy brand

327
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 2: of basketball, doesn't he He does.

328
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: He's done a great job of coming in and kind

329
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: of changing the style of play and the way they play.

330
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: And you know, he's got a bunch of guys that

331
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: are super hungry, you know, and just maximizing his roster

332
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: right now.

333
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 2: Hey, last one, thanks for the time. Jaden McDaniels. What

334
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: do you think happened last night? Forty minutes one of

335
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: seven shooting after really really playing well during that five

336
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: game winning streak.

337
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not sure. You know, sometimes you're gonna have

338
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: these games. But I think the biggest thing is we

339
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,399
Speaker 1: got to get him more shots than just seven, you know,

340
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: I think we got to get him up ten twelve

341
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: shots at least a game, you know, and he generally

342
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: gets those shots in a variety of ways. You know,

343
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 1: he's one of our best transition players. We didn't really

344
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 1: get create enough transition opportunities last night. You know, I

345
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 1: thought the Kickout game was inconsistent at times throughout the

346
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: game got better, but yeah, we just got to find

347
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: a way to get him more shots in the flow

348
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: of offense. When we do, two things happen. He plays

349
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,879
Speaker 1: really really well and we play really really well, and

350
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 1: we got to always remember that.

351
00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:51,119
Speaker 4: I appreciate you.

352
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: Man.

353
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Go win a Golden State Friday. We'll be pulling for

354
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: you from afar.

355
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, thanks Pa, take care yeh.

356
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: See about Chris Finch, coach at the Minnesota Timberwalls part

357
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 2: of the Timber Tech What's on deck? Setlist? A couple

358
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,240
Speaker 2: of things right now. First and foremost, I just opened

359
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: the tweet machine. Do you remember that time when I

360
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 2: was in Key West and you had to call me

361
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 2: and say, Paul, that tweet on which you just opined

362
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 2: that you thought was from Adam Schefter was a fake tweet.

363
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was from Adam Shafter thank you.

364
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,679
Speaker 2: So then Adam Spleefter, So then I immediately deleted it.

365
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: So before I click on this, Colts bring back forty

366
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: four year old Philip Rivers amid quarterback injuries.

367
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 3: He did a workout last night. Okay, so that's not

368
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: an Adam Spleefter. No, that's a real thing that's happening.

369
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: So bringing back as opposed to signing and going with well,

370
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 2: those are two different things.

371
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: I'm assuming what I read yesterday is cow is because

372
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 3: and I forget it is it Riley Leonard I think

373
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 3: is the backup QB, and so he's dealing with an injury.

374
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: I think this is a combination of the team scene

375
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 3: if he can actually do it, and then him deciding

376
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 3: if he actually wants.

377
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: To do it.

378
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,400
Speaker 3: Yeah so I but it is actually a real thing.

379
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 3: Philip Rivers worked out with the Colts, I believe last night.

380
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 3: So you did not get Adam Schefter or spleeftered or

381
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 3: any of that. That's that's real news. That's actually happened

382
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 3: in the twenty twenty five season.

383
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: And when we.

384
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: Completed the nine to Noon or yesterday something popped about

385
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 2: the Colts considering talking to him. I'm like, okay, whatever, Yeah,

386
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 2: but now the bringing back Wow, Holy Cow, desperate times,

387
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: call for desperate measures, all right. And secondly, Chris Finch,

388
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: thank you very much, ma'am. It's the Friday Football Feast,

389
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 2: I hop segment in honor of Paul, where we just

390
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 2: started with, you know, we just started a little baby

391
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 2: fantasy game with Nordo Alec and yours truly, and then

392
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: fantasycares dot Org stepped up last week and said, we

393
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: want to get fifty dollars per point to each of

394
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 2: your teams. And I think it's like fifty four, fifty

395
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 2: two forty right now.

396
00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 4: So well you got.

397
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,119
Speaker 3: One, you Kincaid, right? I thought Kincaid got a touchdown?

398
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 1: Did he?

399
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: I thought I scratched off of him because you guys

400
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: scared me. It was going to be questionable. Oh who'd

401
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: you end up going with it? I couldn't remember, but well,

402
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: here's the thought.

403
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 7: It was Warren.

404
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 3: Here's the cool thing. Maybe it was Warren. I will

405
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 3: have to go back and listen to it. Trey McBride.

406
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 3: So that I felt like seven touchdowns in seven straight games,

407
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 3: that that in his last seven, that that was going

408
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: to be as can't miss as it gets now. They

409
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 3: were absolutely just blown out, by the Rams this weekend.

410
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 7: Yeah. But the cool thing about.

411
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 3: This is now that there's actually a guys just said

412
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 3: actually about fifty times in the last two minutes here.

413
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 3: Now that there's a charity element to this, I found myself.

414
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 3: I mean, he had Bears Packers and that felt like

415
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,960
Speaker 3: a playoff game. I was watching this Rams Cards game

416
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 3: and begging Jacoby Brissette to stop throwing it to the

417
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 3: other team, stop throwing it was Michael Wilson or whoever

418
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: the heck it is. I was actually watching there we

419
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 3: go again. I was watching this blowout game. Let's stop being.

420
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 2: Wound up over or a word in the English language

421
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 2: because you're not using it like Avea Stella or my

422
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: daughter Nicole Actually yeah, and actually dad, so yeah, you're

423
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 2: using it in context and it's fine. I think I've

424
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: used the word ninety five times so far. So continue.

425
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 7: I needed McBride to get into the end zone.

426
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 3: And that's the cool part about this, the charities behind it, actually, Nordo,

427
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 3: And now I'm finding myself begging for the Cardinals in

428
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 3: just a complete fleeting effort, late stages of a season

429
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 3: where they are a three or four win team, and

430
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: where's Kyler and Jacoby Brissett throwing it to the wrong guys.

431
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 3: I just I love that we're able to do this,

432
00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 3: and just big props to to Scott Fish for uh

433
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 3: and Fantasy Cares for supporting it.

434
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 4: I just listened to the whole thing back.

435
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 2: Yes, I did have Dalton kincaid, so that gives that

436
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: gives me sixty points.

437
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 4: That's great, which means no, it is great.

438
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 7: That's the thing.

439
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 2: It is great because it's it's another three hundred dollars.

440
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,400
Speaker 2: Yeah to second Harvest Heartland when you get hot next week.

441
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: I think with wide receivers there we go feed my

442
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 2: starving children. Is going to philanthropically profit, Yes, and the

443
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 2: Kyrie Jackson Fund for a foundation for young Alex.

444
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 3: Gosh, that pickens pick kind of makes sense. But I

445
00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 3: can't do it. Well, well I have to, or I

446
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 3: can do it. What do I have to now?

447
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 2: I mean I asked Finchy give me a wide receiver,

448
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 2: which I put him on the spot, you know when

449
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: he's thinking about you know, like Royce O'Neil getting to

450
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,879
Speaker 2: the basket dunking, no stifle to block the shot, because

451
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 2: he stifled Mark Williams Ribs with a little forearm shiver.

452
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,000
Speaker 3: So he probably didn't have the vikings schedule in front

453
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 3: of him, did he?

454
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 7: Or is he that diabolical after a tough loss to

455
00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 7: the Son.

456
00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 2: Now he's just thinking of the I mean that that's

457
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 2: why I started with this today with Finchy with the

458
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,679
Speaker 2: Fantasycares dot Org Second Harvest Heartlamb. He's on the board

459
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 2: that that's my selected charity with Fantasycares dot Org and

460
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: thank you again Scott Fish. But I think he was

461
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 2: just he was brain boggled by stifle ejection. Yeah, by

462
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: the Sons getting to the basket with players nobody's ever

463
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 2: heard of, like Ryan Dunn. And then he gets home

464
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: and he's like, well, at least my iggles are going

465
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: to get their ninth victory, and then Jalen throws four

466
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 2: picks and they lose in ot to Dicker the kicker.

467
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,400
Speaker 3: I think he had two turnovers on the same play. Yeah,

468
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 3: there was a moment he threw he threw a pick

469
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 3: and then I believe that was fumbled and he may

470
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,120
Speaker 3: have turned it over a second time within the same sequence.

471
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 7: So he's paar shaped that whole thing.

472
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 3: And you nailed it though off air, you're just like

473
00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 3: they aitually they just need to you actually did I think, actually, Dad,

474
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 3: they want to get they would they just want to.

475
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 7: Get to the postseason?

476
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 4: Yeah?

477
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 7: Well they Yeah, I mean but see that you mess

478
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:46,480
Speaker 7: around though, And but that's.

479
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 2: Analogous to the Timberwolves and a common thread last year

480
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: I had with Finch and a common thread this year

481
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 2: I've had with Finchy that I didn't really want to

482
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 2: get into today. But it's with the Timberwolves. They just

483
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: look like they think they have some push button to

484
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: them where we're going to push the button. We're gonna

485
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: win all the right games, get to the Western Conference Finals,

486
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: see what happens there.

487
00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 7: How would you approach that with him?

488
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:06,560
Speaker 6: Though?

489
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 3: I think that that would be difficult because in some way,

490
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 3: I mean, that is an indictment of the mentality of

491
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 3: the team. If it is a situation in which whether

492
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:16,120
Speaker 3: it's aunt I mean, the lack of a point guard,

493
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: you love the forty point performances, but also you would

494
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 3: say the ball could get sticky once in a while.

495
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 4: I watched that question, but I think you knew what

496
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:23,640
Speaker 4: I meant.

497
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 3: The inconsistent play of the Jaden McDaniels of this roster,

498
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: and you're just you're begging for that consistency there. That'd

499
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 3: be a tough topic to broach me, I think in

500
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 3: terms of me push button nature.

501
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: But if you and I were just chatting, you know

502
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,679
Speaker 2: about the Anthony bit that that I kind of botched

503
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,199
Speaker 2: because I couldn't read my handwriting with a fency. Fenci

504
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: was basically like brop. I would just let Anthony beat

505
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: everybody off the dribble, get to the basket every single

506
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: time until they find a way to stop it. However,

507
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 2: if you do that, then Julius and McDaniels and Evincenzo

508
00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 2: and everybody'd be like, what happened? How come I never

509
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 2: get to touch the ball? This guy's touching it every

510
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: time and he's never passing. See, that'd be like the

511
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,119
Speaker 2: way I'd want to say it, but you can't say that.

512
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 2: You can't say it that way to Finchy.

513
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 7: Finchy.

514
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: Well, when Jayden's scoring twenty five points and he's active

515
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 3: defensively in all of those things, you absolutely love it.

516
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: But then you see Knights like last night we're one

517
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: to seven. I wish he took six fewer shots. I

518
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 3: would have liked to see Aunt get those extra opportunities,

519
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: go for fifty, go for sixty. Just let her let

520
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 3: her rip on a night like he potentially could have

521
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 3: had last night.

522
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 2: Now they could. They couldn't stop him off the dribble.

523
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 2: Then they started to double. He would kick and the

524
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 2: others miss threes. Like again, Anthony and Randall were five

525
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: of eleven from three Devincenzo, Mike Conley, nas Reed, Jaden

526
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 2: McDaniels at all. They were just terrible, I mean, not bad,

527
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: terrible from three point range.

528
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 4: And the Timberwolves lost a close one. But thank you, Chris.

529

Speaker 3: Hills and we love seeing steps forward for the quarterback.

570
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 3: The thing I'm pondering, and we'll hear a bit of it,

571
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: I assume with Kevin O'Connell joining us at eleven o'clock

572
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 3: is kind of what's next in the what's next plan?

573
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: So you come off this thirty one nothing shutout. It's,

574
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: you know, the terminology we've heard kind of the simplification

575
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 3: of the offense and that the coach was talking to

576
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,040
Speaker 3: himself yes and talking about it himself yesterday. Lack of

577
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: explosives but seeing efficiency offensively. So I'm just curious under

578
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: the bright lights of Dallas on Sunday night. How quickly

579
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 3: do you start to push the pedal down on the

580
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 3: kit again? Because as we we did the dissection and

581
00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 3: the anatomy of a drive yesterday, the nineteen play Marathon drive,

582
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 3: and it was beautiful and it ended with a Mason

583
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,080
Speaker 3: Jordan Mason touchdown. As enamored as we are with that,

584
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 3: the offense is begging to stretch it out and the

585
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 3: long term growth of this process is getting the kid

586
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 3: more confident in the pocket and finding those opportunities downfield.

587
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 3: I just wonder what's next in the what's next plan?

588
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 7: Do you ponder that at all? Pa?

589
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 4: Not really.

590
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 2: Earlier earlier in the season, I did because I would

591
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 2: watch things back and I would see exactly what you

592
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,719
Speaker 2: were talking about, But I also would see sacks or

593
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: players missed, or things that just weren't able to be accomplished.

594
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 4: For whatever the reason.

595
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: The multiple offense of the like twenty two offensive line

596
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: combinations played into that. So now, in watching this one

597
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 2: back the I didn't see a dramatic amount different when

598
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 2: it comes to downfield routes because it's just things are

599
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: so layered with football plays where, for instance, in the

600
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: Seahawks game.

601
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 4: Yes, the Seahawks game.

602
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 2: There were three players, Jefferson, Addison and I think Naylor

603
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: who purposely ran straight down the field, like thirty forty

604
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 2: yards down the field and they were never getting the ball.

605
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 4: CJ.

606
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: Hamm was going to get it after chipping an offensive

607
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: lineman and it was a third and very long, but

608
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 2: I think he could have run for fifteen to twenty

609
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 2: and he ran and somebody ran into him, so it

610
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:35,160
Speaker 2: kind of took him off the bit and it blew

611
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: and it blew.

612
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 4: The play up.

613
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: So there you see players running down the field and

614
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: perhaps your discernment gets you to, well, they're still going

615
00:31:42,440 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 2: down the field. Why aren't we throwing it that far

616
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 2: down the field. Well, it's clear that was not the

617
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 2: play design on that play, the Addison play that we

618
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 2: talked about yesterday during the nineteen and ninety eight and

619
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 2: i'll bring up today with O'Connell that that is such

620
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 2: a positive step for JJ McCarthy and downfield striking went

621
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 2: for twenty one yards, but clean pocket, everybody fan to

622
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 2: the outside, quarterback stepped up, quarterback fired and it went

623
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,880
Speaker 2: for twenty one yards and it was a long throw

624
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 2: from the.

625
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: Right side over to the left sideline.

626
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 2: So I'm just looking for the incremental steps taken with

627
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: what you're talking about, Jefferson, with you think downfield, and

628
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,040
Speaker 2: it may may not necessarily be the proverbial bomb, but

629
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 2: Jefferson can catch it at fifteen or twenty and turn

630
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 2: it into fifty, sixty or seventy. Yeah, well, clearly that's

631
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 2: not happening. Four catches fifteen yards in the last two games.

632
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 2: So it's just incrementally watching the development of your A

633
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: topic through us being cows running away from the storm

634
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: and subsequently getting toppled or being the bison and running

635
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,920
Speaker 2: into it. So we can just get through it quicker,

636
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,240
Speaker 2: but it may be a little more painful through all

637
00:32:56,280 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 2: of that. The A topic, as you repeat it, say,

638
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 2: is the development of this quarterback. Yes, and following the

639
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: nuance of this quarterback to see what improves specifically on

640
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:14,000
Speaker 2: a game by game basis the pocket awareness and stepping

641
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 2: up in a perfect pocket. I loved it from last game.

642
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 2: Let's do it again Sunday night. Bikes bites, and I

643
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: think that'll that'll lead to Brett. It's not Vike's bite

644
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,480
Speaker 2: stop that you snot knows, kid, It's bikes bites, and

645
00:33:28,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 2: I do think that that incrementally will give them opportunities

646
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 2: to get down the field.

647
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 6: Though.

648
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 7: I like that the left guard Donovan Jackson.

649
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 3: I saw this this quote yesterday from the KO presser.

650
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: Donovan Jackson is playing through an injury that might have

651
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 3: held others out for a couple of weeks.

652
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 7: He would not be denied playing in.

653
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:53,360
Speaker 3: The football game doing everything he possibly could. Two angles

654
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:55,760
Speaker 3: to this, like what's up with this wrist and then

655
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,480
Speaker 3: the ankle thing. So a couple of nick up injuries.

656
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 3: We know a lot of guys play hurt ye over

657
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 3: the course of a football season. Any overarching opinions as

658
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 3: we close out his rookie campaign Donovan Jackson first round pick.

659
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 3: I really felt like this was a guy that you

660
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,760
Speaker 3: could plug in and was kind of a home run

661
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 3: in totality. Some ups and downs for him and pass

662
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: protection and such. I've really liked what Donovan Jackson has

663
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 3: brought to the moving company when he's on the field,

664
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 3: and it's clear the.

665
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 2: Head coach likes that when he says what he said yesterday,

666
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 2: and that's part of the KO mix an hour and

667
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 2: a half from now, praising Donovan Jackson for playing through

668
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 2: paying and Karen Well, when he presents it the way

669
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 2: he did, it is fair for people to read between

670
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 2: the lines and my estimation and wonder, all, right, where

671
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 2: are you sending that message? But it's unfair to implicate

672
00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 2: anybody if you don't know what you're talking about.

673
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 7: Yep.

674
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 2: So that's the best way I can frame that up.

675
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: When coaches talked like that, they know everybody's gonna hear it, yeah,

676
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,919
Speaker 2: and they know that potentially a message has been sent.

677
00:35:06,520 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 2: But the question is what is the message and to home?

678
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 2: But I love Donovan when we started the when we

679
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 2: started the dry bys, I was going to go down

680
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 2: the road with him, man.

681
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I know you're playing through pain.

682
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,120
Speaker 2: Right now, but I couldn't figure out how to get there,

683
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: so I just turned it into deron pain. But he

684
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: you know, this is somebody who played with a broken

685
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:29,719
Speaker 2: wrist basically refused to step away, and they're like, no,

686
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 2: you're not playing with this. We're going to fix it.

687
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: Then you come back, they hit on that first round

688
00:35:35,160 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 2: or he's good. Now, he's gonna be a lot better

689
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 2: moving forward.

690
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:43,680
Speaker 3: As Vikes Bites has Eric Wilson and maybe a guy

691
00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:46,080
Speaker 3: who played with him next segment, Anthony Barr probably knows

692
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,000
Speaker 3: a little bit about Eric Wilson. Yeah, has Eric Wilson

693
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 3: played himself into his spot as he enters free agency?

694
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,640
Speaker 3: We're re signing this cat tied for the lead, I

695
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 3: think on the team with sacks five and a half.

696
00:35:58,920 --> 00:36:01,760
Speaker 4: Fifteen tackles for which is number one on the team.

697
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 3: Has he played himself into a spot where maybe re

698
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:10,600
Speaker 3: signing him is actually actually dad and an off season

699
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 3: priority for the Purple. I kind of think he has.

700
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been thinking about that a little bit of

701
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,360
Speaker 2: late because I think I think he's coming up to

702
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,439
Speaker 2: his tenth year. He's either in his tenth or he's

703
00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,840
Speaker 2: coming up to it. And Barr did play four seasons

704
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 2: with Wilson, and Anthony is all over praising Eric Wilson

705
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 2: right now.

706
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 7: That's kind of what triggered the chack coming up. In

707
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 7: about eight minutes.

708
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 2: Cool was us chatting about Eric Wilson, e Will as

709
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 2: he calls him the other day. But that's tricky because Eric,

710
00:36:37,760 --> 00:36:40,200
Speaker 2: with what he got on this one year deal coming

711
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 2: from Green Bay, they brought him here as a as

712
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,560
Speaker 2: I'm certainly not speaking for the team, but just looking

713
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,440
Speaker 2: at the way things laid out in training camp in

714
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 2: early you know, kind of a linebacker related insurance plan. Yes,

715
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 2: but somebody very good on special teams and gets things

716
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 2: all squared away on special teams.

717
00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,919
Speaker 4: Well, I've and paid.

718
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 2: Junior barely can get on the field now because Wilson

719
00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:05,920
Speaker 2: ain't coming off the field And these tackles for loss,

720
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 2: I mean that tenacity that he shows to get off

721
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 2: blocks and get guys by the line of scrimmage. It's

722
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 2: a work of art. It's that of ferocity and tenacity

723
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:18,040
Speaker 2: and caring. And he you know, he's going to finish

724
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 2: the season with more than twenty tackles for loss. His

725
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 2: fifteen this year is more than he's had in the

726
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 2: last five years. So yeah, he's on fire. He's played

727
00:37:25,480 --> 00:37:28,120
Speaker 2: himself into a fair amount of cash. Question is do

728
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 2: they have the cash to resign him? What will it

729
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 2: take and how long that all will be solved in

730
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:36,160
Speaker 2: the off season the con And that's Vikes Bites as

731
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:38,399

00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Yay?

745
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 6: My god? What is the word? How we doing?

746
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: Hey, ma'am?

747
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 2: It was great seeing you this weekend. I see you

748
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:33,360
Speaker 2: got that Barry White voice. Working early on a southern

749
00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 2: California morning, sneaking up on eight am, so Cal Time,

750
00:38:37,320 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 2: ten o'clock Cornfield's time. Let me ask you this, did

751
00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:44,480
Speaker 2: did you change your Twitter handle? And if so, why

752
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: because I could swear that thing used to be like

753
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 2: at THEAB or something.

754
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, that was man. That was early on probably my

755
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 6: second year. I think, thank you. Media came up to me.

756
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 6: Somebody came up to me and suggested it. This is

757
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 6: saying it'd be much easier to find you place your normal.

758
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,440
Speaker 4: Name, and I was like, but maybe you didn't want

759
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 4: to be found.

760
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I guess Twitter's not a place to

761
00:39:09,440 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 6: be if you don't want to be found. But yeah, yeah,

762
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 6: we cut the simple.

763
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:14,759
Speaker 1: Yeah.

764
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:16,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta be careful with stuff like that.

765
00:39:16,440 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 2: I mean, with all due respect, because like there were

766
00:39:18,560 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 2: X amount of years ago, your your former teammate who

767
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 2: you know, for all of his career, I would call

768
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 2: or we would call Xavier Roads. But then we caught word,

769
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: you know, I think directly from from Rhodes is like

770
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:35,720
Speaker 2: like family or parents that his first name is actually

771
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 2: x Xavier Roads. Well, when he went from Xavier to Xavier,

772
00:39:40,320 --> 00:39:41,359
Speaker 2: the whole game fell off.

773
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 4: I mean it was It's like it's like who is this?

774
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:48,080
Speaker 2: I mean, Xavier Roads shuts down ob j on Sunday

775
00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: night football and throws him into the bench.

776
00:39:50,600 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 4: So they gotta be careful of stuff like that, you

777
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 4: know what I mean.

778
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:54,920
Speaker 6: I hear you. I hear you.

779
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 7: Uh you.

780
00:39:56,440 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 2: By the way, when I saw you, you and Audie Call,

781
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,399
Speaker 2: former linebacker for the Vikings, you guys picked a good

782
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 2: one to attend Sunday. It was great seeing you, But

783
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,880
Speaker 2: holy cal how about that shut out victory?

784
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:12,280
Speaker 6: Man, they shut up. They played well, you know, offensive, decisive,

785
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:14,480
Speaker 6: moving the ball down the field. Defense was doing what

786
00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,359
Speaker 6: they've pretty much been doing all season, you know, and

787
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 6: in special teams, and I think that was the big

788
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 6: you know, the phase it's kind of been struggling maybe

789
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 6: the most, and they you know, they put good games.

790
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 6: So it was a good, well rounded team victory and

791
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,120
Speaker 6: it was good to get back and the win. Call them.

792
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 2: The genesis for me requesting you come on the radio

793
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,839
Speaker 2: show was when you came up to the box box

794
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:35,920
Speaker 2: where we call the games.

795
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:37,120
Speaker 4: I mean it was fleeting.

796
00:40:37,160 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 2: It was a brief exchange, but I mean, like, you know,

797
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: after embracing, I was like, E will though, and then

798
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 2: you opened your eyes and you knew I was talking

799
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 2: about Eric Wilson. Now Anthony played. Anthony played four seasons

800
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: here with Eric Wilson, and Eric has a team high

801
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 2: fifteen tackles for loss At this stage of his career.

802
00:40:56,920 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's a wonderful hit, not only in

803
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: free agency, but at this point of his career. The

804
00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: way Eric's plan, what do you think?

805
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 6: Honestly, not too surprised, you know, I think he's a

806
00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 6: guy caming in for Cincinnati undrafted and he just usually

807
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 6: always had his hard head, always got to work, and

808
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,839
Speaker 6: then when he got his chances to play like significant

809
00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,439
Speaker 6: game time, he always performed. I think I was out,

810
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:25,319
Speaker 6: uh maybe it was a twenty twenty season or one

811
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:27,320
Speaker 6: of the seasons up I missed a few games, and

812
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 6: he was just doing his thing, sax picks, and it's

813
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 6: just it's just kind of what he does. It's not

814
00:41:32,840 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 6: too surprising, I think for me, just because I've seen

815
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:37,360
Speaker 6: him do it. But it's just the opportunity, you know.

816
00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 6: I think that's everything about this league is getting a chance,

817
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,319
Speaker 6: and then when you get your chance, what are you

818
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:42,920
Speaker 6: gonna do with it? And he's one of those guys

819
00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 6: that always takes advantage of his opportunities. And it's just

820
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 6: it's great to see because he's such a good dude,

821
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 6: good person, great football player, great family, and so it's

822
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,240
Speaker 6: always good to see him have success.

823
00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,799
Speaker 2: I'm very happy for him, and it just it just

824
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 2: shows you, I mean, how how different football can be

825
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 2: compared to other sports. I mean, like like John Randall,

826
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 2: the greatest three technique, one of the greatest three techniques

827
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,799
Speaker 2: in the history of the game. Hall of Famer. I

828
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 2: mean he's undrafted, you know, and then he ends up

829
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 2: having a career like that. Wilson's undrafted and he's and

830
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:15,000
Speaker 2: he's had himself a nice career here and with Green Bay,

831
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 2: you know, making it about a decade. But now you

832
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 2: get an opportunity they believe in you where it's like,

833
00:42:22,239 --> 00:42:24,879
Speaker 2: you know, people can focus on whatever negative they want,

834
00:42:24,920 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 2: so they could be like maybe it was like this

835
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:28,360
Speaker 2: when Air came into the league and you were on

836
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:30,759
Speaker 2: the team, like, all right, well, his pass coverage and

837
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 2: his drops and things like that, I just don't know

838
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 2: if we can trust it. But then he'd come into

839
00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,400
Speaker 2: the game and he'd force a fumble or he'd get

840
00:42:38,440 --> 00:42:41,120
Speaker 2: a sack or a massive tackle for loss or a

841
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,280
Speaker 2: tip pass at the line of scrimmage, like you said,

842
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,280
Speaker 2: but it now here for the first time with Flores,

843
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,759
Speaker 2: with the way they work things here, clearly it's conducive

844
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,160
Speaker 2: to his success. But you know what, he has to

845
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,520
Speaker 2: come through with it. So you know, he has to

846
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 2: he has to study it and come through with it

847
00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:00,800
Speaker 2: and get off these blocks and at you know, definitely

848
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 2: in the second half of his career, he's absolutely sitting

849
00:43:04,760 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 2: on the biggest contract he's ever gotten.

850
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,120
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I would hope. So, I mean, I would

851
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 6: really hope. So he deserves it, He's earned it, and

852
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:16,799
Speaker 6: I would love to see him stay in Purple. You know,

853
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 6: I think he's been arguably the best player on the

854
00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 6: team this year. You know, if you if you go

855
00:43:21,400 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 6: up and down the roster and you look at guys

856
00:43:23,200 --> 00:43:25,440
Speaker 6: who's been performing, well, you know there's other guys that

857
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,160
Speaker 6: have been playing good two regimends, you know, another guy

858
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:29,200
Speaker 6: who could talk about, but we're talking about just a

859
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 6: guy that's been showing up weekend and week out and

860
00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:33,759
Speaker 6: performed at a high level, and the stats kind of

861
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:36,279
Speaker 6: back it up and he passes the eye test. I

862
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:38,560
Speaker 6: don't I don't know why you would let some guy

863
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,920
Speaker 6: like that, You know, a guy like that leave your

864
00:43:41,080 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 6: lead your building, you know, especially with how he is

865
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 6: in the locker room as well. You know, he's a

866
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 6: great locker room guy. I mean, he's playing all the

867
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,719
Speaker 6: special teams, still playing sixty snaps of game. So it's

868
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 6: one of those guys you don't want to let go

869
00:43:53,719 --> 00:43:56,480
Speaker 6: and lose because of what he kind of brings cultureally,

870
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 6: and know what he brings on.

871
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 2: The field, Anthony, I think, you know, I think when

872
00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 2: you stepped away from the game. Yeah, I think one

873
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,279
Speaker 2: of the first things you probably said, I don't remember it,

874
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 2: but by faith, I'm going to roll with it. That like,

875
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:09,879
Speaker 2: you know, hey, what what's something you're going to miss

876
00:44:09,880 --> 00:44:12,680
Speaker 2: about the game? And generally most people would be like

877
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:16,600
Speaker 2: the locker room, the friendships, the camaraderie, the private conversation. Well,

878
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: that that's the case for you, right, Yeah, I.

879
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 6: Mean amongst other things. You know, I think you know,

880
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: obviously the game itself is missed to an extent, but

881
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:29,600
Speaker 6: the relationships are are for sure what kind of lasts

882
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:32,759
Speaker 6: longer than obviously your career, and there are things that

883
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,560
Speaker 6: you remember, kind of hang on to and kind of

884
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 6: can point to as you know, kind of core memories.

885
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 6: But also the competitiveness, you know, the competing going out

886
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,320
Speaker 6: there and playing against you playing a kids game against

887
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:46,120
Speaker 6: growing men, and you know, being able to line up

888
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:49,320
Speaker 6: and hit somebody without any repercussion. You know, like it's

889
00:44:49,360 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 6: accumulation of things that you missed. But when when you

890
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 6: talk about you know, just being in the locker room

891
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 6: and being around the guys, that definitely is something that

892
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 6: stands out.

893
00:44:56,840 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: Well, the reason I brought it up because when when

894
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,360
Speaker 2: when I saw you, you were with you know, former

895
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,919
Speaker 2: linebacker Addie Call and it you know, when it comes

896
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 2: to the camaraderie and the friendship that you guys would

897
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 2: have that really know, nobody would know about unless you're

898
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: at like events like like it had me think about

899
00:45:13,239 --> 00:45:18,439
Speaker 2: the Chad Greenway Monday Night charity events where you Audi Call,

900
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,720
Speaker 2: Eric Kendricks, Mike, Maddy, and Andrews and Daho and Harrison Smith,

901
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 2: I mean, and Harrison's young in his career, man, and

902
00:45:26,320 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 2: you guys would come in there to Manny's and just

903
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 2: steal the show. It's like Andrews and Dajo's America's best friend.

904
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 2: But like you Maddy and aud And and Audi Call,

905
00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys were really close.

906
00:45:38,480 --> 00:45:39,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, boys, we.

907
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 6: Ran deep, man. We did almost everything together, you know,

908
00:45:42,719 --> 00:45:46,279
Speaker 6: from off season hangouts to you in season, you know,

909
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:47,760
Speaker 6: being in the locker room at all, you know, together

910
00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:50,080
Speaker 6: all throughout the week. So yeah, those are guys that

911
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 6: you know, I've been in their weddings and I've seen

912
00:45:51,920 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 6: their kids playing. Now Audi has his fourth on the way,

913
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 6: and I was over at Harry's house playing with his

914
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,759
Speaker 6: you know, his oldest son. So it's kind of cool.

915
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 6: You was the full circle moment really, and it's good

916
00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,200
Speaker 6: to keep those relationships. And like I said earlier, there

917
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 6: not just good players, but just really good people and

918
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,960
Speaker 6: people that you really enjoy want.

919
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:10,360
Speaker 1: To be around.

920
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 2: This is Anthony barr At Anthony bar Via, ex former

921
00:46:14,640 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 2: Vikings linebacker played for the Dallas Cowboys for a fleeting moment.

922
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 2: Who who's the best quarterback with whom you played during

923
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:26,399
Speaker 2: your career? Dak Prescott, Kirk Cousins or other?

924
00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:32,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, I would say I would say probably other. Yeah.

925
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,279
Speaker 6: I mean, no disrespect to either of those guys. I

926
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 6: think right now that's probably playing the best out of everybody.

927
00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:45,280
Speaker 6: But the quarterback I think was my my personal opinion,

928
00:46:45,360 --> 00:46:49,200
Speaker 6: I think Case keenan man. He was. He was just

929
00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,480
Speaker 6: the perfect fit for that season and a half or

930
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:56,520
Speaker 6: however long he was starting. Obviously Teddy was you know

931
00:46:57,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 6: a lot of love for him, coming in the same

932
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,840
Speaker 6: draft classes and kind of growing up and obviously his

933
00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:04,840
Speaker 6: debut is sitting, you know, career altering injury kind of

934
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,239
Speaker 6: changed his compass a little bit. But in regards to

935
00:47:08,280 --> 00:47:11,120
Speaker 6: just like game, just being a gamer and showing up

936
00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,560
Speaker 6: and playing ball, like Case was one of those guys,

937
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 6: it just it seems like he's just playing in the

938
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 6: backyard at all times. And it there was such a smile,

939
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,680
Speaker 6: like such a spirit, like an infectious attitude that he

940
00:47:20,760 --> 00:47:23,120
Speaker 6: was one of my favorites to play with. And he

941
00:47:23,239 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 6: was arguab that season that he had, season and a half,

942
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 6: two years, whatever it was, was just a great run

943
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:30,440
Speaker 6: and it was really fun to be a part of.

944
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 2: Are you are you following Danil Hunter and those Houston Texans?

945
00:47:36,040 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean, I mean Theniel was just he's

946
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 6: just nasty. He's I mean, he just never stops, you know,

947
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 6: just we all know how he was here. But it

948
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 6: doesn't matter really seem to matter what colors he's wearing.

949
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,320
Speaker 6: He's a problem for anybody.

950
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:52,320
Speaker 2: During just a couple of close here for a b

951
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: Anthony Barr super cool that that he got up early

952
00:47:55,280 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 2: to join nine to now. During the shutout at Seattle,

953
00:47:58,680 --> 00:48:02,480
Speaker 2: all right, Vikings get shut out of Seattle, Anthony offered

954
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:07,120
Speaker 2: a quote safe space for grieving fans end quote on X.

955
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: I mean I went back reading through that thing last night.

956
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you were responding to everybody, and there was

957
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 2: one of there were several that jumped out, all right

958
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,760
Speaker 2: with Dallas Turner. You wrote, when patience meets confidence meets opportunity.

959
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,239
Speaker 2: He's twenty two years old. You started your career at

960
00:48:26,239 --> 00:48:29,359
Speaker 2: twenty two years old. How tough is it at that

961
00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 2: age versus these grown men veterans.

962
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 6: It's I think it's more than that. Those deeper than

963
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,719
Speaker 6: the physical side. It's the mental aspect. And I'm sure

964
00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 6: what he's being asked to do. Some of the subject's

965
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:44,959
Speaker 6: being asked to do and flow system is something that's

966
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,400
Speaker 6: never done before. And it was similar to Manka on

967
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:49,879
Speaker 6: the first season playing with them. You know, I never

968
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:51,960
Speaker 6: played off the ball linebackground was on the ball linebacker

969
00:48:52,080 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 6: my whole career in college. So when you're switching positions

970
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:57,320
Speaker 6: and you're asked to have your eyes in different places

971
00:48:57,320 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 6: and dissect plays differently, and it's not just okay, you're

972
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,239
Speaker 6: gonna rush the passer to go forward and to go

973
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,400
Speaker 6: straight and make a guy miss. There's a lot that

974
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 6: you have to process as a young player, and you

975
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:08,759
Speaker 6: have it comes with experience. You're not going to be

976
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 6: a lot of you know, some guys can you know,

977
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 6: show up right away and have success immediately, but some

978
00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 6: guys need some time to kind of get their feet

979
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 6: under them, and you know, now he was the second

980
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 6: year now and I think he's starting to find his

981
00:49:20,440 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 6: footing and he's playing with confidence, which is the biggest

982
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 6: key in the NFL. Everybody you need to think you're

983
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 6: the best player at all times so you're not gonna have

984
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:31,000
Speaker 6: no success. And then the coaching staff has been patient

985
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:33,400
Speaker 6: with them, you know, and now he's getting more opportunities

986
00:49:33,400 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 6: to go and play plays game and you're kind of

987
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,359
Speaker 6: seeing all the all that come to fruition. So it's

988
00:49:38,360 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 6: really cool to kind of see how he's evolved and

989
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 6: success over the last year and a half.

990
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:44,919
Speaker 2: Well, I love that and kind of in the same

991
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 2: vein because he's twenty two years of age and I

992
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:51,800
Speaker 2: think just a little bit older than JJ McCarthy or

993
00:49:52,200 --> 00:49:54,480
Speaker 2: younger than they're both twenty two years of age. All right,

994
00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:56,920
Speaker 2: it's just weird. I mean, JJ McCarthy's ten days younger

995
00:49:56,920 --> 00:50:00,120
Speaker 2: than my daughter. And and you know, he took the

996
00:50:00,200 --> 00:50:03,240
Speaker 2: step Sunday, but that's what it was. It was a step,

997
00:50:03,360 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 2: and and next season is going to be very important

998
00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:09,400
Speaker 2: for him. But another part of that safe space tweeting

999
00:50:09,840 --> 00:50:11,919
Speaker 2: that you went nuts with a couple of Sundays ago

1000
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,440
Speaker 2: was and it's hard to frame it up with talking

1001
00:50:15,480 --> 00:50:19,680
Speaker 2: about franchise that drafted him, you know, having to keep

1002
00:50:19,800 --> 00:50:22,759
Speaker 2: believing in him through next year, where there will be

1003
00:50:22,800 --> 00:50:26,040
Speaker 2: some road bumps most likely. But that's such a big

1004
00:50:26,160 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 2: key the the the franchises not giving up on certain

1005
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 2: things simply because it's not working on their timeline.

1006
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:34,600
Speaker 6: Now.

1007
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:37,359
Speaker 2: I don't believe that'll be a problem here, but you're

1008
00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,320
Speaker 2: dead right with that. When when when you tweeted that, ma'am.

1009
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:44,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think especially you know, with the young quarterback

1010
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 6: obviously the confidence is a is a big thing and

1011
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,919
Speaker 6: having that experience, but I forget he's been talking about

1012
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,640
Speaker 6: maybe Tom Brady mentioned that, you know, a couple of

1013
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 6: years ago, just how quickly teams kind of move on

1014
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:58,080
Speaker 6: from young quarterbacks, and how a lot of young quarterbacks

1015
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 6: aren't painting out the way that maybe should or people

1016
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:04,120
Speaker 6: thought they should, just because they're not kind of given

1017
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 6: that time. And we understand that it's a win now

1018
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:08,960
Speaker 6: type of league and the expectations are to go out

1019
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:11,080
Speaker 6: and win football games, and if you have a you know,

1020
00:51:11,200 --> 00:51:13,960
Speaker 6: god that's not performing the way you are expecting, then

1021
00:51:14,400 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 6: something's gonna have to make. You know, you want to

1022
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 6: make some type of change and not everything needs to

1023
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,640
Speaker 6: be a drastic change, And I think the vice being

1024
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:23,520
Speaker 6: patient with him and allowing him to kind of have

1025
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:26,239
Speaker 6: his struggles, like that's that's only going to be better.

1026
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 6: We'll only get a benefit and maybe he'll shake his

1027
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 6: confidence a little bit. But you have to let him

1028
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,440
Speaker 6: go and get those game experiences, get those game reps,

1029
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,400
Speaker 6: and fail. Like failure is, it's not as the negative

1030
00:51:36,400 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 6: thing as everyone makes it out to be. Like you

1031
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 6: kind of need to fail, whether it's in football, whether

1032
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 6: it's in life like that sets kind of the table

1033
00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 6: for success and the only way you're going to have

1034
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 6: success is through failure. So it was really cool to

1035
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,279
Speaker 6: see him go out and play well Sunday, kept you know,

1036
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:55,000
Speaker 6: relatively simple, made quick throws it on time, and then

1037
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 6: make some improv players when he had to, he uses legs,

1038
00:51:57,840 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 6: which he's very good at. So yeah, just give the

1039
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 6: guys some time. You know, it's not what everyone wants.

1040
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:04,719
Speaker 6: We don't want to be patient. We're not in a

1041
00:52:04,719 --> 00:52:07,760
Speaker 6: society where you know, where we want everything right now.

1042
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 6: It's a it's a kind of a now society that

1043
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,440
Speaker 6: we're living in. But football is a whole different game.

1044
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 6: So I would, I would, you know, continue to be

1045
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 6: patient with the kid, let him do his thing, and

1046
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,759
Speaker 6: who knows, who knows where he's gonna be. You know,

1047
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 6: I don't, I don't, you don't. But give him a chance, all.

1048
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:24,080
Speaker 2: Last one here, man, that one season with Dallas, just

1049
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,760
Speaker 2: even just one season part of a season being there,

1050
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 2: What what is it like being a Dallas cowboy in

1051
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,120
Speaker 2: the city of Dallas.

1052
00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a it's different, you know, it's it's a

1053
00:52:35,400 --> 00:52:37,840
Speaker 6: different I had a good experience. I enjoyed my time there.

1054
00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 6: I would say it feel like football was always the

1055
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,520
Speaker 6: number one priority in the building. You know, there's there's

1056
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 6: a lot going on in that in that building, they

1057
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,080
Speaker 6: share it with a few other companies. So when you're

1058
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 6: walking to your meetings or you're walking to lunch, you know,

1059
00:52:52,880 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 6: you're walking by, you know, random people that have nothing

1060
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 6: to do with the team, and it kind of feels

1061
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 6: like that takes away from like the sanctity of the core.

1062
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 6: You know, it takes away from just kind of the

1063
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,759
Speaker 6: pureness and and how like precious being on a team.

1064
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:10,440
Speaker 6: Is that being said, the community treats, you know, those

1065
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 6: players like rock stars and you can do no wrong

1066
00:53:12,680 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 6: and you have a lot of leeway, you have a

1067
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 6: long leave shout there, but then at the end of

1068
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,759
Speaker 6: the day, you know you're playing football. So it's a

1069
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,759
Speaker 6: it was a cool experience something I'm I'm glad I

1070
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:23,960
Speaker 6: was able to have something. I you know, I have

1071
00:53:24,040 --> 00:53:27,240
Speaker 6: still had relationships with guys on those teams, like Michael Parsons,

1072
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,839
Speaker 6: you know, talk to him often, and they're just good dudes.

1073
00:53:29,840 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 6: You know. You know, at any locker room, you're going

1074
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 6: to find a locker room full of good, solid people.

1075
00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 6: That was the same in Dallas. I would just say

1076
00:53:37,800 --> 00:53:40,480
Speaker 6: the way the operation was was a little different than

1077
00:53:40,520 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 6: what I was accustomed to coming from Minnesota. But not

1078
00:53:43,080 --> 00:53:45,080
Speaker 6: to say it's good or bad or indifferent. It was

1079
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,040
Speaker 6: just it was just, you know, kind of how they

1080
00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 6: do things.

1081
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 2: Hey man, great catch up, look forward to seeing you more.

1082
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:53,120
Speaker 2: Come to more games. Man, a they shut out when

1083
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:56,080
Speaker 2: you're there. I'm well, you should be there Sunday night.

1084
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:57,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you should do the coin toss, ladies and

1085
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: gentlemen former Minnesota Viking and then Dallas cowboy Anthony Barr

1086
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:02,479
