Speaker 1: been Lieber on the hotline today thanks to the Why

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 1: do I not have it in front of me? Children's

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Cancer Research Fund?

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: Excuse me? How you doing?

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 3: Liber I'm great, Nordo, and you know I was ready

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 3: just to pick up right where you stumbled on Children's

13
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 3: Cancer Research Fund. So it was there, Yeah, it was.

14
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: I couldn't mind it. I was, I was ready to

15
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 3: pull the trigger.

16
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: Well, I'm actually glad the Children's Cancer Research Fund, whether

17
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 1: it's Saint Jude, your support of that in years past,

18
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:51,480
Speaker 1: but but the Children's Cancer Research Fund just really grad

19
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: glad that you've used your platform and kind of gone

20
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: out of your way to target opportunities that exist like

21
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: those to support such a cool thing. So I don't

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: know why that came to mind, but now that I

23
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: can finally say Children's Cancer Research Fund without tripping over myself.

24
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: Just appreciative that you promote such things.

25
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: Well, I appreciate that, Nordo. Oh yeah, I'm thankful for

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: them and all that they do. And yeah, I mean

27
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 3: it goes without saying that it sucks that we have

28
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 3: to have charities like this, that cancer and children and

29
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: juveniles and you know, little kids still exist. So we'll

30
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 3: do everything we can to fight back and find cures.

31
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: Indeed, yes, thank you Children's Cancer Research Fund. Now, mister

32
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: liber At, Nacho liber some vikings bits that I want

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: to get into with you this morning. But something I

34
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: was pondering as I was driving into work that you know,

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: for the most part nine to noon, I don't think

36
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: that we have given enough credit to Sam Darnold for

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: what he has done in twenty twenty five and really

38
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: winning what now twenty six games over the last two

39
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: or twenty seven games, excuse me, over the last two seasons,

40
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: and really finding himself after we remember and it hurt

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: that that Detroit game, the finale and the red zone

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: woes and everything, he's right back in the same freaking

43
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 1: spot a year later, Saturday night in the Bay at

44
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: the Niners with a chance to secure the one Seed.

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: Is it okay given everything that's transpired, is it okay

46
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 1: for me to root for I kind of want to

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: root for Sam Donald on Saturday Night.

48
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: Where's your head at on that?

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah? I mean the fact that the Vikings are out

50
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: of it? Why not? I mean I think everybody, we're

51
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: all football fans, So if our favorite team is not

52
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: going to be in it, you know, find an emotional

53
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: attachment that you can ride through the playoffs. And if

54
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 3: your guys Sam Sam Darnald, because of all the reasons

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 3: that you just mentioned, then yeah, man, I'll be rooting

56
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: for Seattle, like I think, I want to see him

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 3: kind of get that monkey off his back. You know.

58
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 3: Obviously you talk about the weight of the game and

59
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 3: the similarities to last year at the end of the

60
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920
Speaker 3: season and the way that he performed, and then then

61
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: the next game into the playoffs. I hope that he

62
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 3: goes out there and you know, dices up those Niners

63
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 3: and if they lose at least is not his fault.

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: Right, And because it's just one of those things, like

65
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: you think about how we analyze our team, and we

66
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: look through it through a certain prism. J. J.

67
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 2: McCarthy for instance, So we believe.

68
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: That into twenty twenty six that we want him to

69
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to learn from what he experienced this

70
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: season and be better. So why does last year and

71
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: specifically a two game stretch have to define all of

72
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: Sam Donald his previous five seasons? Where at one point,

73
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,160
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the butt of a joke Sam Donald

74
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: was in most cases, specifically you remember charge just emotionally

75
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: melting down when we got him in free agency. How

76
00:03:56,080 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: embarrassing that was. That wasn't defining of Sam darl Arnold

77
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: when he won fourteen games for US last year? Why

78
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: do that does that two game stretch then have to

79
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: define him moving forward?

80
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: You know what I mean?

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: I mean the ability to overcome and grow from adversity

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 1: As sports fans, as you noted, I think that we

83
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: should be rooting for that.

84
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 2: In fact, well okay, I agree with you, But.

85
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 3: You know, some situations define players, and not every game

86
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 3: is the same type of game, Not every game carries

87
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:38,360
Speaker 3: the same weight. Look at let's say Adam Vinettieri. You're right,

88
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: I mean, he's a finalist for the Pro Football Hall

89
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: of Fame. What do we know about him? Clutch kicks? Right?

90
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 3: It wasn't I don't think he really remembers his statistics

91
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 3: as far as like, well he was you know, he

92
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 3: was ninety eight percent in the regular season and then

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 3: all by the way, he also kicked all the playoffs.

94
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 3: Now it's it's the memorable kicks, it's the clutch kick,

95
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 3: it's the ones that kind of defined that organization at

96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 3: that time. So, you know, we have the same kind

97
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: of the opposite going on with JJ McCarthy in that,

98
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: you know, we love the fact that there's this this gamer,

99
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 3: this natural gamer that can turn on in the fourth quarter.

100
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 3: He seems to rise above in big moments and and

101
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 3: maybe not so much in regular moments for lack of

102
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 3: a better term. So as much as I want to

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 3: like completely agree with you, I do think that those

104
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 3: defining moments are are what like set forth the reputation

105
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 3: that you have for the rest of your career and

106
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: kind of build that legacy. So unfortunately, if Sam Darnold

107
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: is one of those guys that can like kick all

108
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 3: the extra points but then can't make the clutch game

109
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: winning field goal per se, then that's gonna end up

110
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 3: being his legacy. So I do think that it's somewhat

111
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 3: fair that we are kind of looking at him under

112
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 3: a microscope for just a couple of games. Even though

113
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 3: he's he's got a catalog of a lot of other

114
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,359
Speaker 3: really good games, a lot of great statistics, and a

115
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: lot of great wins the last couple of years. If

116
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: he can't win the big games, then that might be

117
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 3: something that's just too sticky to shake off.

118
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, you're you're dead right in that regard,

119
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: and he has an opportunity to shake that off and

120
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: we'll see if he can do it.

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 2: Saturday night. I will get back to the postseason.

122
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: It's just a fascinating playoff grouping that we have in

123
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: front of us. Potentially want to get to that. But

124
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 1: in terms of our favorite team with the border, battle

125
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: around the corner, just everything that has popped over the

126
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: last few days, it's super hot. The talker of talkers,

127
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: it exists between two people, Brian Flores whether he'll stay

128
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: or whether he'll go, and then Harrison Smith whether he'll

129
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 1: stay or whether he will go. What do you think

130
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 1: of all this Flores steam over the last week.

131
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think it's expected. I mean, it doesn't shouldn't

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Speaker 3: come as a surprise to anybody that you know, We

133
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: were potentially and we potentially will lose him either to

134
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 3: a lateral move with other incentives, or he gets elevated

135
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 3: and gets a head coaching job. I mean, we were

136
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 3: kind of sweating this thing out last year. I think

137
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 3: a little bit just like oh man, like what's what's

138
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: gonna happen? And I think everything was just kind of

139
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: predicated on the lawsuits that he has with the NFL.

140
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 3: And now this year, that's doesn't seem like much of

141
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: a talking point. Now it's just like, all right, who's

142
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 3: going to pick him up? Who's is he going to

143
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: make a lot of remove to Dallas? Is he going

144
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: to get a head coaching job somewhere? You know? Is

145
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 3: he going to go back to New York and get

146
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 3: close to home with the Giants. I don't think it's

147
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 3: any surprise. I think he's earned it. He deserves another

148
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 3: chance to be a head coach. My biggest question mark

149
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: is what's the plan without him? You know? Are we

150
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 3: are we going to elevate somebody within and let them

151
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: kind of take over the B flow scheme? And because

152
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 3: we have the players now to run this specific scheme,

153
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: or do we go a different direction? Is there something

154
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: about the scheme that we don't like, do we pull

155
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: back a little bit, do we play a little bit

156
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: more man coverage? Do we play a little more you know,

157
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 3: zone cover? Like what is what is the plan going forward?

158
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:23,760
Speaker 3: And how is our defense going to look and what

159
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: are our individual players going to look like in that

160
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: set scheme? So I'm almost kind of shifting my attention

161
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: into like what's next because I guess kind of feel

162
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 3: like Beflow's gone no matter where he goes?

163
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: Well, what what is a lateral So kind of fleshing

164
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: that out a bit? You me and the Steam from

165
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 1: Dallas Florio has written a bit about it, kind of

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the idea of that lateral move, and I'll admit not

167
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: to just flippantly dismiss it, but that hasn't necessarily made

168
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: sense to me. You threw in kind of the idea

169
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: lateral move would require incentives and just kind of fleshing

170
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 1: that out, if I mean, just kind of the idea

171
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: if he goes to Dallas, for instance, Shottenheimer, it's like, okay,

172
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: you could be coaching waiting, Well what about me? If

173
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: if you're Shottenheimer, You're you're instantly annoyed by that. There's

174
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: instant tension or abrasion in some respects. There just what

175
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: a lateral move? For me? That just it seems so

176
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: far fetch. Should I should I pay more attention to

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: that idea?

178
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't make sense to me. I I wouldn't.

179
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,960
Speaker 3: I would not have thought about it unless Floria wrote

180
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 3: about it. And yes, usually he's got he's got a

181
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 3: little bit of steam. But you know, I was, I

182
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,679
Speaker 3: was kind of casting my gaze into all right, what's

183
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 3: the head coaching gig that he's going to get? Because

184
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 3: why why would he Everything that I understand, and not

185
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 3: just coming from his own mouth but just people around

186
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 3: it sounds like he really does like Minnesota. Yep, his

187
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 3: kids love Minnesota. His kids love the sports that they're in,

188
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 3: they love the associations that they're in, they love the

189
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 3: friends that they have, the school that they're at. So

190
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 3: all that being said, I don't know why he would

191
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 3: want to make a lateral move, and I'm not really

192
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: sure what incentives we couldn't match here with Minnesota. So

193
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 3: I didn't put much stake into it until I just

194
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 3: see the steam and the smoke from Florio. Then I'm like, well,

195
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: I guess we have to chew on this. I don't

196
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 3: know why we have to chew on this, but let's

197
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: see what this looks like. And again, if I'm a

198
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboys fan and if I'm Brian Schottenheimer, I'm like, well,

199
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: why would this guy want to come here if he's

200
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 3: just not going to be the coach in waiting, which

201
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,679
Speaker 3: means that I'm a lame duck coach. So all of

202
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: a sudden, now I'm going to get undermined and undercut

203
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 3: from my own ownership. And then you want me to

204
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 3: go out there and try to lead this group of

205
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: guys when everybody feels like the writing's on the wall

206
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 3: that Beeflow's going to take over. Like it doesn't make

207
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 3: any sense to me. And I'm not even sure why

208
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 3: if I'm Brian Flores, Like, why would I want to

209
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 3: go into that situation? Like why would I want to

210
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 3: immediately step foot into a toxic situation? So I don't

211
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 3: know where Florio is getting this information. I don't know

212
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 3: what you know, what what he's heard on the street

213
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 3: or what, but I don't get it either. So, like

214
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: I said, I'm kind of casting my gaze more into

215
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 3: what head coaching vacancy is going to be out there.

216
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, And as I've talked with Pa about too,

217
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 1: I just like Pittsburgh for me has really been just

218
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 1: kind of that's the spot.

219
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just I feel there's.

220
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: A connect connectivity there where he found that safe kind

221
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: of nookie blanky after the whole Miami kerfuffle went south.

222
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at Pittsburgh now to that. We had

223
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell in studio yesterday at TCO and there's a

224
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: moment and Kevin handles any question, good, bad or ugly.

225
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: He'll he'll, he'll get He'll find his way through it,

226
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 1: and very articulate and sometimes very expanded answers from the

227
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: head coach. But I almost felt for a moment as

228
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: I was watching the coach, PA asked him a question about, uh,

229
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, Harrison Smith and just kind of what do

230
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: you what do you think of this? I think is

231
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: how he framed it up, kind of basically, if if

232
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: if Flores was to go somewhere else, how maybe that

233
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: impacts Harrison Smith's decision. And for just a split second,

234
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the coach and I almost found a

235
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 1: guy questioning his own mortality. Where he's thinking of these first,

236
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Like you mentioned what the hell this defense looks like

237
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: without Flores next year, and what it might look like

238
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: without Harrison Smith. Now what from your vantage point, how

239
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: would it look without Harrison Smith? How vital has he

240
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: been to this operation? I mean, it's future hof Some

241
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,199
Speaker 1: of that is very clear to answer, But just the

242
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: situation with Harrison moving forward really feels just as tenuous

243
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: as it is with the defensive coordinator.

244
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 3: You know, in some ways, I just feel like the

245
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 3: life cycle of a player is a little bit more

246
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 3: finite and easily predictable versus what a young talented coach

247
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 3: sort of looks like. I mean, Brian Flores I mean

248
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 3: right now, probably has another twenty years of coaching if

249
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 3: you wants. So it's certainly not the case for Harrison Smith.

250
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. I guess I don't want to if

251
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 3: I'm being emotional about it. From a fan standpoint, yeah,

252
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: I'd love to have Harrison be here as long as

253
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: he wants. If I'm making a business decision and I'm

254
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 3: in the front office, you got to start making plans

255
00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 3: for him not to be there, And almost making plans

256
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 3: for him not to be there is is like not

257
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: just like, oh, let's find a backup here and there

258
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 3: to Groom, like, no, you need to find his replacement,

259
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: Like now you need to find out who that guy

260
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 3: is now, because as great as Harrison's been the last

261
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 3: couple of weeks, you know, I know he was coming

262
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 3: off you know, an illness type thing at the start

263
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 3: of the season. He's talked about, you know, kind of

264
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 3: getting his strength back. Took him a while to kind

265
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:46,720
Speaker 3: of get that energy back and kind of get in

266
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: game shape. So you know, he's got a little bit.

267
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 3: He's got definitely an excuse of why he started the

268
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 3: season slow, but it certainly has not been the consistent

269
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 3: play that I think that you would expect throughout the

270
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 3: seven games sixteen games so far. So yeah, I don't

271
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 3: want to get the last couple of games, you know,

272
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 3: making that like a cloudy decision. I think that regardless

273
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,760
Speaker 3: of what Harrison wants to do, I think that you

274
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: almost have to picture him not on the roster next

275
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: year and you're going out to find his replacement.

276
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's now as part of this when as

277
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: we're celebrating what we saw the Dynamo defensive performance, and

278
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 1: now I'm just begging in the border battle. Let's get

279
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: number twenty two a pick so he can get into

280
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,280
Speaker 1: that forty twenty club with Ronde Barber Charles Woodson. Forty picks,

281
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: twenty sacks. That'd be sweet. That's all time stuff. But

282
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: it felt like Flora is maybe acknowledging to your point.

283
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: Slow start combined with maybe ain't as fresh as as

284
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: the hit man used to be a lot more blitzing,

285
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: a lot more time at the line and not bailing.

286
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: It felt like Flora's maybe just kind of in the

287
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: way we're looking offensively to figure out what works with

288
00:14:59,240 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: the kid.

289
00:14:59,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 2: QB.

290
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: The defensive coordinator figured out what worked for number twenty two,

291
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: and it's kind of paid dividends over the last month.

292
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it really has. And the thing is, in a

293
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 3: perfect world, you know, you'd have a healthy Josh Mattellus

294
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 3: and you'd have another safety out there that you could

295
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 3: you could really trust in the deep center of the field.

296
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 3: And now that we've kind of kind of rotated with

297
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: like Jay Ward and and and Jackson, but I think

298
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: that he definitely has figured out that if if we

299
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 3: need a trigger man to this defense, there's no better

300
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 3: player than Harrison Smith because he's so cerebral and you

301
00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 3: understand what spends, what's going on. So he can handle

302
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage stuff, he can handle the audible stuff.

303
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 3: He can also you know, kind of rotate back to

304
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 3: that deep center field. But I think in a perfect world,

305
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 3: I think that you'd want to have somebody that can

306
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 3: be a little bit more trustworthy in open space. And

307
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 3: I definitely think that that's where in the last couple

308
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 3: of years Harrison's kind of struggled. Is he's just not

309
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,320
Speaker 3: the same guy when he's when he's coverage, and he's

310
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 3: not the same guy when he's in the deep middle

311
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 3: of the field. So where can you best use him, Well,

312
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 3: at the line of scrimmage where he can make some calls,

313
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: he can blitz, he can do those things and act

314
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: sort of like a like a pseudo outside linebacker. That's

315
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: great that we figured that out, but I think going forward,

316
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 3: if you really want to make this defense hum, you

317
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 3: would change up who that guy is. You know, you

318
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 3: would have a guy at the line of scrimmage on

319
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: the other side. It's a safety that can rotate back

320
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,400
Speaker 3: and forth or do whatever, not always have to have

321
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: Harrison Smith do it. Then you've really got a wild

322
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,360
Speaker 3: card to the defense, because now you have no idea

323
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 3: who the trigger guy is on defense, You have no

324
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: idea the guy which guy's going to rotate back there?

325
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: Order battle this Sunday and it's a nooner, and well,

326
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: I mean, just beat the Packers, right, become go nine

327
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 1: and eight? Who cares to throw records out the windows?

328
00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: It could be Brosmer versus Clayton too, and just get

329
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 1: the w right.

330
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's what it is. You know, Let's

331
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: find some let's find some storylines that we can follow,

332
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: and and let's hope that the guys show up on

333
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,920
Speaker 3: both sides and they make it a competitive football game. Yeah.

334
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 3: I don't see any reason why we shouldn't win this game.

335
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 3: I mean, if they're they're gonna be resting their starters.

336
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: You know, we're gonna be playing a bulk of our starters.

337
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a little worried. You know, I think

338
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 3: from a from a milestone standpoint with Justin Jefferson, I

339
00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 3: understand that we probably want to get him a thousand yards,

340
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: But you know, there is that that factor in the

341
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 3: back of your mind. They're like, well at what costs?

342
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 3: You know, like, what are we doing here if something

343
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 3: something bad happens before he gets to one thousand yards.

344
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 3: So I know that it's going to be a cool

345
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 3: moment if he gets the thousand yards. But I also

346
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 3: am looking at like we've got to protect our biggest

347
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,199
Speaker 3: assets on the team outside of McCarthy, and I'm not

348
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 3: sure that he should probably be playing in this game.

349
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no doubt about that. So border battle.

350
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: It may not be the most thrilling affair, but it's

351
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 1: a border battle. And my guy, my guy was joking

352
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,439
Speaker 1: about it the other days, like I don't even know

353
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: what to do with this depth chart, Like who in the.

354
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: Heck or the Packers is going to play here? Who

355
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: the hell are they gonna put on the field?

356
00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,880
Speaker 1: I got bow Melton starting at wide out and corner.

357
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 1: Probably in a game like this, I mean just a

358
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: weird one. It'll be time for one or two more.

359
00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 1: Who's your favorite team in the NFC in terms of

360
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs.

361
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 3: I would probably have to say the Rams. Yeah, I

362
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 3: think you know, as as we all know, it is

363
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,760
Speaker 3: about the defense a lot of times that comes out

364
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 3: to play and are the biggest factor. And and I

365
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 3: hesitated because as much as it's probably an unpopular opinion.

366
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 3: If if the Eagles can figure it out, nobody wants

367
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 3: to see that defensive front. If that defensive front is

368
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 3: motivated and ready to go, I don't know if there's

369
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 3: a better defensive front in the league. It's just whether

370
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: or not they're going to be healthy and they're going

371
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,919
Speaker 3: to be firing all cylinders and they can kind of

372
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 3: hold it together internally with some of the mayhem that's

373
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,879
Speaker 3: going on behind the scenes. If they can just like

374
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 3: rally together, I'm a solid unit for a playoff push.

375
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 3: They're a tough out. I don't care what you say

376
00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:17,280
Speaker 3: about hurts, and I don't care what you say about

377
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 3: maybe their offensive woes. I mean, their defense is scary.

378
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 3: And I could say the same thing about the Rams,

379
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 3: and but the Rams have definitely much more of a

380
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 3: cohesive unit on the offensive side. So I would say

381
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,679
Speaker 3: right now the Rams are probably going to be the

382
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 3: toughest out.

383
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: Is that we were doing kind of this what if

384
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 1: this happened scenario. We're joking around, like Houston Texas they

385
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 1: got ed Ingram on the offensive line. What if he

386
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: makes some sort of game winning type block to clear

387
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,440
Speaker 1: the road for a Woody Marks in a Super Bowl

388
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 1: and we're all just thinking, well, we used to have

389
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: that guy. That's not fair. What about Garrett Bradberry in

390
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 1: New England? You think about that? Of course, we mentioned

391
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: Darnald and what kind of emotions that might stir up

392
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: if you see him hoist in a Lombard. What if

393
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: Sean Payton and those stupid Broncos with bo Nix find

394
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: their way to the one seed and find their way

395
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: to winning the Super Bowl? I mean, right now, you know,

396
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: quarterback conversation in vogue as it should be. The top

397
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: two teams in the AFC have two throwers that were

398
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,840
Speaker 1: in the same draft as the kid we took. We

399
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: know the Bears making a play. They have Caleb Williams,

400
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,719
Speaker 1: not that may Or Williams wherever in the cards for

401
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: us from a draft perspective, But what do you think

402
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: about the AFC and the Rats nest I still think

403
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 1: whoever gets that home field advantage, like, good luck beating

404
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,359
Speaker 1: the Broncos a mile high, good luck beating Vrabel at

405
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Gillette like it kind of that's kind of how it.

406
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 2: Weighs out for me.

407
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 1: It's just that there's not a clear front running juggernaut

408
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: on that side of the conference.

409
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: No, And you know, to stick with my theory on

410
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 3: the NFC side, I mean that's why I really like

411
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 3: what Houston's doing and the way that they're sort of

412
00:20:56,600 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 3: baking at the right moment, and you know, I defense

413
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 3: can carry them. Then I do think that they have

414
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: enough of an offense and if they have to play,

415
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 3: you know, they're they're probably have to obviously win a

416
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 3: few games on the road, which is going to be difficult.

417
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: But their defenses is better than I think New England's.

418
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: It's right there with with Denver's. And I know Denver

419
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 3: has an outstanding front as well. They're outside linebackers can

420
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 3: really get after it. But I think when you look

421
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 3: at all eleven players, I think I would rather take

422
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: the Texans defense. There's something about bow Knicks in that

423
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 3: offense that I just don't trust. Yet, he definitely has

424
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: a gamer to him. I think he's got the intangibles.

425
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 3: I don't think that he's mentally ready yet to handle

426
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 3: a championship run. I definitely think that Drake may is

427
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,239
Speaker 3: and and I think that they're probably poised obviously if

428
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 3: they've got home field advantage to make a push. So

429
00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 3: I'd put it between the Texans. Well, gosh, here's the

430
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 3: other thing. I mean, you look at the way that

431
00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:08,920
Speaker 3: Jacksonville's playing and see that's a team right there that

432
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: nobody's talking about. They will, they will perpetually fly under

433
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 3: the radar because of where they are and the small

434
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 3: media market. But if if they're you know, running those

435
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 3: you know screen games and that that short quick passing game,

436
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 3: and it's all they're letting their guys go out there

437
00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: and make plays like they have been doing. I mean,

438
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 3: they can be a tough out of their defenses playing well,

439
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 3: and I would say that all three phases from a

440
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 3: team standpoint, might be the strongest of those teams I mentioned.

441
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 3: So it really is going to be a crapshoot in

442
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: the AFC.

443
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's crazy, man.

444
00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,400
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks for all you do for nine to noon

445

Speaker 1: of somebody's house, and we just we sip on some

455

Speaker 3: I love it. You're doing eleven o'clock or the midnight.

457
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 1: Oh, I'm making the kids stay up until midnight. They've

458
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,199
Speaker 1: been talking a bit for you. They've been talking a

459
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: big game for two weeks. They fell asleep at ten

460
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,880
Speaker 1: o'clock last year. So step it up, ladies. You're ten

461
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: years old. If you're going to brag about it, you're

462
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 1: gonna be You're gonna bring this bravado.

463
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,880
Speaker 2: Let's see it happen, and that that'll it'll turn.

464
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:30,920
Speaker 1: It'll turn tomorrow into a mess because they're just gonna

465
00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 1: be in awful moods.

466
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 2: But we're gonna we're gonna try and make it happen tonight.

467
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,439
Speaker 3: I love it. So you're basically telling your girls, like,

468
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,159
Speaker 3: if you're going to talk about it, be about it.

469
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yes, that's correct.

470
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,439
Speaker 3: I love the pep talk. I have a great night.

471
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 3: Happy New Year.

472
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Happy New Year man.

473
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: That's Ben Lieber. That's Ben Lieber, weekly guest nine to noon.

474
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 1: Thanks to his support of children's cancer research, Fund Weekly

475
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: guest nine to noon. And as he said it, whether

476
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: it's a it's just a complete rats nest in the AFC,

477
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 1: the rams, I mean kind of pick your flavor in

478
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: terms of how the NFC West is going to find

479
00:24:07,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: its way, and the story will be told in large part.

480
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have to go through Seattle to

481
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,760
Speaker 1: get to the Super Bowl, good luck, and if you

482
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,199
Speaker 1: have to go through the Bay, good luck. Despite I mean,

483
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: they just can't find I mean, they can't find a

484
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 1: pass rusher to save their lives as injured as.

485
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 2: The Niners have been. But Shanny still does his thing.

486
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 1: How about Shanahan and the work he and Robert Sala

487
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: have done with that group considering all the injury problems

488
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 1: they've had through twenty twenty five. But fun conversations with Lieber,

489
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: and we're going to continue. I get some texts and

490
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: such that we'll dig into some news to finish the hour,

491

499
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: of course, please be saved, have fun. We were talking

500
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:19,479
Speaker 1: about it last segment Brian Flores some Flores fodder, and

501
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:22,880
Speaker 1: I had mentioned it and I found the audio from

502
00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: X's and O's with head coach Kevin O'Connell and where

503
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 1: I found the coach. I'm sitting there in studio as

504
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,399
Speaker 1: I always do, and I basically this is on radio,

505
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 1: so I'll describe it as much as I can. This

506
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 1: is more for Brett than you the listener, so I apologize.

507
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: But in the TCO Studios studio, I have to kind

508
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: of sit back, basically up against the wall to stay

509
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: out of the camera view.

510
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 2: They have about seven cameras in there right now.

511
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I've never been to like a high end

512
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,200
Speaker 1: television studio, but it kind of feels like they have that.

513
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 2: They have like these like six.

514
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: Or seven four K cameras in there, and they're getting

515
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: at you from every angle, and so I got to

516
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: hide up against the wall like I'm a catburg, where

517
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: I just got to stay out of view.

518
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 2: Here, it's like your mission impossible.

519
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 5: Yeah.

520
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: So but I get to I'm in the room and

521
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm watching it unfold, and this is the moment where

522
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of and I mentioned it to lead,

523
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: like I felt like the head coach was kind of

524
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: questioning his own mortality in terms of what the twenty

525
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: twenty sixth edition of The Vikings might look like without

526
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 1: either the defensive coordinator or Harrison Smith.

527
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: What do you think of this?

528
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 6: Because when I or others talk to Harrison Smith there

529
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 6: there's a side of it where he's like, this individual

530
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 6: defense that I'm in mentally stimulating puts me in a

531
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 6: good spot, and it's good.

532
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 2: So, now, can you take.

533
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 6: The Harrison Smith forward thinking conversation and kind of tie

534
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 6: it to what's next for Flores, whether it's here or

535
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 6: somewhere else in regards to like like say Brian, Say

536
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 6: Brian goes somewhere else. Yeah, well then that may elevate

537
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 6: the chances Harrison doesn't come back.

538
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 7: Well, first of all, I'd not like to think like that, Pa,

539
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 7: But second of all, what's been what I would say

540
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,160
Speaker 7: here is you know, I do think what has been

541
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 7: built here, especially.

542
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: He goes on with he goes on with a longer

543
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: let me see here, there we go. He goes on

544
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:32,479
Speaker 1: with a longer answer, a typical Kevin O'Connell answer, and uh,

545
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: and actually does not in the end, I'll admit it.

546
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,680
Speaker 2: I'll admit it. Here you can listen to it podcast.

547
00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: He really never comes back to the concept of those

548
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 1: two being linked. But again, I he's thinking about it

549
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: the way that you are thinking about it, as as

550
00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: Rubes as fans. I'm a rube, I'm a fan. I'm

551
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 1: thinking about it.

552
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:53,560
Speaker 2: Anything that we're.

553
00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: Thinking about the coach has probably thought about, and especially

554
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: this particular coach who appears to spend most of his

555
00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: existence thinking about everything from every angle. But I was

556
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 1: watching there again, pressed up against the wall, can't get

557
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: in the camera angle, you never know which one ve

558
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: end's using, so you know, the heavy producer needs to stay,

559
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: has to get small and get out of the way.

560
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 1: But watching him kind of question his own mortality a bit.

561
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, the PA hit the nail

562
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: on the head with that particular question in the vein

563
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: that I think that it is truly linked and it's

564
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: not something I mean, we can talk about just even

565
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:35,720
Speaker 1: a year ago. Kind of the idea of whether you're

566
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,400
Speaker 1: getting quotes from Smith himself just how much he's really

567
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: loved playing in this defense and really bringing out Not

568
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: that I don't think he ever lost the love for

569
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: the game, but you kind of hear once in a

570
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: while where a player is like I kind of rediscovered

571
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,920
Speaker 1: just how joyful it is to be blessed with the

572
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: ability to play in this league. And I think a

573
00:29:56,360 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: big part of that has been his connection to Brian Flores. Now,

574
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: I don't think the Vikings are thinking, well, we need

575
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: to bring Brian Flores back, and that Harrison Smith returning

576
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: as part.

577
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 2: Of that is is the top of the list.

578
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: I think the head coaches thinking or the team's thinking,

579
00:30:15,720 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: and the head coach is thinking, we need to bring

580
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: Brian Flores back, because my goodness, what the hell does

581
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 1: this thing look like without the defensive coordinator and without

582
00:30:27,040 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: your potential Hall of Fame safety in there.

583
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: And I received some texts. I got this from Kyle

584
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: and Santy.

585
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: Any confidence in THEO Jackson at safety I feel and

586
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: this is Kyle saying, I feel like he didn't have

587
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:44,600
Speaker 1: any impactful plays all season, and for the most part,

588
00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 1: Kyle and anybody that I would have to agree. And

589
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 1: you know, you wonder again the coach is thinking and

590
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: doing the mental machinations in that conversation with PA and

591
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: probably having more vocal and direct conversations in some office

592
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 1: at TCOH what this thing looks like when you pull

593
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:04,959
Speaker 1: twenty two out of the mix. I've joked about him

594
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: many times. Flores has gone out of his way? Did

595
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 1: it early on? Maybe twenty late? Was it late twenty

596
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 1: twenty two? No, it wasn't that. That was Donnatel twenty

597
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 1: twenty three. I should say where it's like, I want

598
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: to bring I want to bring Harrison Smith to the sideline,

599
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: and I want to keep some tread on the tires.

600
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: But I can't. Flores blatantly said that I can't. And

601
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: that's how important he is to what Flores wants to accomplish.

602
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 1: So the combination of the inability you heard it with Lieber.

603
00:31:35,080 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: If we're going to move on, you got to find

604
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: his replacement now, right for Harrison Smith, THEO Jackson's not

605
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: his replacement. Jay Ward actually enjoyed some of Jay Ward's

606
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: play this year, and specifically more recently bringing him in.

607
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: You saw him playing outside really as a corner outside

608
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:56,680
Speaker 1: tackling has been for this defense over the course of

609
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five at large has been an issue at times.

610
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 1: Jay Ward good tackler, Tavi or Thomas not a replacement

611
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: for number twenty two.

612
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: But you all know that.

613
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: And so whether it's it's drafting, whether it's identifying a

614
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 1: replacement via free agency, they just haven't been able to

615
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:17,000
Speaker 1: do that.

616
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 2: And so.

617
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 1: You're in a spot now, are you judging Harrison based

618
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: on his quality of play or are you judging Harrison

619
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,400
Speaker 1: Smith on just well, it ain't like it used to be,

620
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: but it's still the best we got And maybe maybe

621
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: the answer lies somewhere in the middle. But to that point,

622
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 1: Harrison Smith, if we're going to start going a la

623
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 1: carte here year by year, then I believe and I

624
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 1: think that it's it's absolutely true that if he comes back,

625
00:32:50,560 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 1: it will not only but almost only an important part

626
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:59,040
Speaker 1: of that will be because Brian Flores is indeed your

627
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator.

628
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 2: Now talking with with Lieber about that a bit.

629
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,680
Speaker 1: Last segment, as the coach again, question is what is

630
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 1: this defense going to look like without?

631
00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:11,800
Speaker 2: Without him in the mix?

632
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:16,040
Speaker 1: The lateral move idea to me, I can't call it

633
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 1: preposterous because the moment I call it preposterous is the

634
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,479
Speaker 1: moment that Flores makes a lateral move. But I mostly

635
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: think that it's preposterous. And whatever those incentives are, and

636
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: and and and and that's all in combination.

637
00:33:30,040 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: Again.

638
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 1: Now let's we're we're making the assumption that that Brian

639
00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 1: Flores absolutely truly does need and want another opportunity coaching

640
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: head coaching in the NFL and everything that goes around

641
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: with that. Right now, he gets to focus on the defense.

642
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: That is that is his job. He does it at

643
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: a super high level, which is why it's such a

644
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,760
Speaker 1: hot talker. Does he want to become the head coach

645
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: where now he is having meetings, he is having many

646
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: more press opportunities.

647
00:34:00,360 --> 00:34:02,680
Speaker 2: He does pa mentioned some of that, I believe yesterday.

648
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: That's an interesting part of this in terms of the

649
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 1: schedule and the workload and everything that goes around with it.

650
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: This is after the bad taste left in mouths across

651
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: the board leaving Miami during his tenure. But if he's

652
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,920
Speaker 1: going to be picky about the opportunities, let's just take

653
00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:19,800
Speaker 1: the lateral thing. Not interested in that at the moment,

654
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:24,160
Speaker 1: But what are the opportunities that he's going to potentially

655
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: have in twenty twenty six. In terms of head coaching jobs,

656
00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 1: right now, there's only two coaches that have been already.

657
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 1: Let go Dable with the Giants, he's gone. I think

658
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,680
Speaker 1: it's Mike Kafka that's the interim, And then I'm totally

659
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,560
Speaker 1: losing it was a Callahan. I think it was Callahan

660
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: that was fired. It's the Titans coach was fired. And

661
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 1: I forget the name of the interim right now. But

662
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 1: those are the only two spots in which we know

663
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,880
Speaker 1: we'll be seeking new head coaches. Okay, Giants, Well, he

664
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:56,320
Speaker 1: got Dart, he got Scataboo. I think there's an expiration

665
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: date on that. With the way Dark plays, Skataboo just

666
00:34:59,560 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: doesn't strike me as a guy that's going to have

667
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: a fifteen year career.

668
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 2: Yes, Brett, we.

669
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 5: May have a starting quarterback against the Vikings.

670
00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 1: Thought, I thought you were going to tell me that

671
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,399
Speaker 1: Brian Flores. There's a rumor about him making a lateral move.

672
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:16,600
Speaker 1: So this just broke.

673
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 5: Okay, Desmond Ritter is signing with the Green Bay Packers

674
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: practice squad and may play something against your purfle.

675
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, who's inside information. Yeah, that's why they're saying about it.

676
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,919
Speaker 1: That's why we got Ben Simms back from the pack

677
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: who actually the Packers took at one point because he

678
00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:37,320
Speaker 1: played for the Vikings.

679
00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:39,840
Speaker 2: It's all, you know, he just he's.

680
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: Looking for xerox copies of the playbook, typical border battle stuff.

681
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter signing he probably was it likely the starter

682
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:50,799
Speaker 2: was I just was I just being dumb?

683
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 1: Then Bretton and just assuming that definitely no love, definitely

684
00:35:56,280 --> 00:36:00,480
Speaker 1: no willis. So it was Clayton Tune and then would

685
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,560
Speaker 1: Rider be signed now potentially as a backup on game

686
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Speaker 1: data Clayton Tune?

687
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:07,279
Speaker 5: I mean I read this. I mean I guess how

688
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,120
Speaker 5: long does it take to understand the offense? And does

689
00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 5: it matter?

690
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 2: You're the disease Packers fan here?

691
00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's coming in as a backup to Tune, right,

692
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:19,920
Speaker 1: he could be, or what if he has the subtrifuge

693
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: ready to go and he just plays.

694
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 5: Either way, it's not gonna be good for the Green

695
00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 5: and Gold. Is there's not a winning formula between those

696
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,879
Speaker 5: two quarterbacks, I don't think.

697
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, Desmond Desmond Ridder now a member of the Green

698
00:36:31,760 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 1: and Gold Watch out see and if PA is listening,

699
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:36,600
Speaker 1: to this. I don't know what what his schedule is today.

700
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,839
Speaker 1: Maybe add Desmond Ridder to the depth chart. I don't

701
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:41,359
Speaker 1: need to tell him how to do his depth chart.

702
00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: But but that's what we're that's that's what this has

703
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:49,840
Speaker 1: come to. Desmond Ridder, Clayton, Tune Bow Melton. What a

704
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: season for both teams really, But yes, just just that

705
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:56,719
Speaker 1: the Flora is fodder and it's it's not fun to

706
00:36:56,760 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: talk about the idea of him leaving. I just as

707
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,640
Speaker 1: I look at it, whether it's it's the Giants and

708
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 1: you know, I have dual car they have a little

709
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:08,560
Speaker 1: bit of piece, a few pieces there defensively that that

710
00:37:08,600 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 1: they have to work with Dexter Lawrence is showing his age.

711
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 1: That just doesn't strike me as being a spot, especially

712
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: considering by the way the Giants. The Giants were the

713
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: team that hired Brian Dabole, and Bill Belichick, who knew

714
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 1: about it on the on the on the sly was

715
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:31,719
Speaker 1: the one that texted Brian Flores congratulating him on a

716
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: job that he actually.

717
00:37:33,080 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 2: Never had the opportunity for. So that doesn't make sense.

718
00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 2: I saw this.

719
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 1: I'm working off this, uh this list from mid month

720
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: because we all secretly love lists, even though lists are boring,

721
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: but just kind of in terms of potential openings. And

722
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,040
Speaker 1: they put together eight of them. So I don't think

723
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 1: either the Giants or the Titans are enticing enough for

724
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: Flores to leave the Falcons.

725
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,360
Speaker 2: You got the Falcons, Now what do you do? Aging Kirk?

726
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: You got with the third knee.

727
00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:04,720
Speaker 1: But that defense, they get some cool There's some Caden Ellis,

728
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that's his name, Cayden Ellis on the on

729
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:09,879
Speaker 1: the Falcons, who is just a freaking tackling machine, has

730
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 1: like the most tackles over the last two years as

731
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: he has made himself one of the absolute studs on

732
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 1: that defensive unit for the Falcons. Pierce, I believe is

733
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: a rookie. There's another rookie. I think they took two.

734
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,040
Speaker 1: But they have some young pieces there. They got Jean,

735
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:30,520
Speaker 1: they got Bijeon, but I don't know about that they

736
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: put on this list. Though the Dolphins potentially an opportunity,

737
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 1: there's something that tells me that the Dolphins won't be

738
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: in the mix in terms of a Brian Flores coaching job.

739
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: The Raiders raider tons of.

740
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:48,360
Speaker 1: Money, but if he's looking for stable organizations, the Raiders. Okay,

741
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:51,359
Speaker 1: what else do we have here? Oh the Browns? Oh yeah,

742
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: stable organizations. Let's go to the shores of Lake Erie.

743
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: Try to figure out what the hell's going on there.

744
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,080
Speaker 1: And that's if, by the way, they move on from

745
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:00,439
Speaker 1: a two time head coach of the Year, and maybe

746
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: that is potentially nearing its end.

747
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 2: Not that I don't think.

748
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 1: I think Stefanski's done everything he could with what they've

749
00:39:07,680 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 1: put in front of him, But they still have a

750
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 1: year at Deshaun Watson on the cap, Shude or Sanders.

751
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 1: I root for him the same way I root for

752
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 1: any young QB to figure it out. Hasn't been any

753
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 1: good injuries Galore, Miles Garrett, though maybe Flores would do

754
00:39:21,239 --> 00:39:22,240
Speaker 1: it for Miles Garrett.

755
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:26,040
Speaker 2: The cards cards have fallen apart. They got young pieces.

756
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 1: Offensively, you got the Kyler conundrum and he's signed for multiply.

757
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 1: That feels like a trade opportunity there. But who's going

758
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:34,840
Speaker 1: to take him and what's that going to look like?

759
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 1: They got to figure that out. That's a little bit

760
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 1: in turmoil. I saw this on the list the Bengals.

761
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: Could they be bored with Zach Taylor? They got a

762
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: ton of cash, They got one hundred million in cap

763
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: space next year, so the chance to build something there,

764
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 1: Maybe there's potential there.

765
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:49,719
Speaker 2: You got Burrow and Chase, et cetera.

766
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 5: Their defense could certainly get better.

767
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: Their defense needs to improve vastly, and Flores, I think

768
00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,719
Speaker 1: would would certainly play a part in that. So I

769
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: mean those are I guess you know again in the

770
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: in terms of mid December, boring lists of potential coaching

771
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:07,080
Speaker 1: vacancies that may exist, and if I'm missing one that's

772
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,719
Speaker 1: just obvious in your head, like this place is absolutely

773
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 1: going to be a spot where he could go. You

774
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 1: can tell me that's fine, six four, six eighty six.

775
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:16,480
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I still, just as I mentioned

776
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:19,800
Speaker 1: with Lieber, I think Pittsburgh's the spot. Pittsburgh's the spot.

777
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: I always felt it was going to be a baton

778
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: toss and it didn't work that way. He comes here

779
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator, Tomlin. I think signs a new

780
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 1: three year deal. But I just the pickiness of it here.

781
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 1: He loves it in Minnesota, but the pickiness of it.

782
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:36,280
Speaker 1: If there is going to be a second head coaching job,

783
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:39,319
Speaker 1: I think Flores is more than patient to wait for

784
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:41,440
Speaker 1: that thing to fit wait for it to be right.

785
00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:44,200
Speaker 1: Not the chaos of Dallas, not the chaos as some

786
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:48,880
Speaker 1: of those bad teams I mentioned, but an organization like Pittsburgh,

787
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:51,799
Speaker 1: and if it's going to happen, I just think that

788
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:53,600
Speaker 1: would be the spot to watch.

789
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 2: And I just don't think that's going to happen this offseason.

790
00:40:56,520 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 1: So that's Flores Fodder from the producer's angle, and we're

791
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:02,600
Speaker 1: going to continue. I mean, we got what two weeks

792
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: and then the contracts up. But moves are being made

793
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:09,520
Speaker 1: and conversations are being had at high levels, I'm sure,

794
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:13,200
Speaker 1: and we'll get some finality on this, hopefully sooner than later.

795
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,080
Speaker 1: Don't want to be sweating this into, you know, the

796
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,719
Speaker 1: end of January February, trying to continue in to have

797
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,319
Speaker 1: Flores Fodder on a day to day basis. Maybe we

798
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 1: get a sponsor and it's a daily segment, but I

799
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: hope he just re ups and we don't have to

800
00:41:26,120 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: have this conversation and then maybe hit Man comes back.

801
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: We draft to Safety in April and everyone's feeling fine,

802
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:34,879
Speaker 1: We're gonna pause. News is next level. At the top

803
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,560

Speaker 1: and pony show. That response, by the way, is to

806
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 1: a text message that sadly does not include you. Then

807
00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 1: to noon listeners, I apologize, but welcome back. That's so dumb,

808
00:42:02,760 --> 00:42:05,719
Speaker 1: little little on air production meeting of just some of

809
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: the weird conversations that I find myself in with some

810
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:11,440
Speaker 1: of my friends. News Denord's brought to you by the

Speaker 1: it too. Canterbury Park dot com. Speaking of text messages,

819
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:37,880
Speaker 1: out of the six four six eight six, Brad Shawn

820
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:42,560
Speaker 1: Bryant text line other than Flores, any potential changes in

821
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,400
Speaker 1: coaching staff and to another text as well, just kind.

822
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,719
Speaker 2: Of you know, I don't under this was let me

823
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:49,399
Speaker 2: see here, Nordo.

824
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: I don't understand why people are generally confused about the

825
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 1: Flores situation. If he gets ahead coaching job he wants,

826
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:56,799
Speaker 1: he's gone. If not, the Vikings will pay him. He's

827
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,879
Speaker 1: not going to do a lateral. I I agree with you,

828
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,200
Speaker 1: but but there's just there's a hotness to it.

829
00:43:01,239 --> 00:43:06,320
Speaker 2: There's just kind of I don't know, fear is probably

830
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 2: the wrong word.

831
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 1: But again, the idea of what this thing looks like

832
00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: without him in the mix, I just think it bears

833
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: some conversation.

834
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,640
Speaker 2: And that's why I went through that awful list.

835
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: Is there are not from my standpoint, Eleit, opportunities for

836
00:43:21,560 --> 00:43:24,160
Speaker 1: Flores at this particular stage. And I still point to

837
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,440
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh as the one spot. So I agree with you

838
00:43:26,840 --> 00:43:29,840
Speaker 1: in that text. But to Craig's question, any other changes

839
00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: in coaching staffs, in the coaching staff at large, potentially,

840
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:37,959
Speaker 1: I don't know. I have no idea, no inside steam.

841
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 1: It's not like I'm texting with the head coach. I

842
00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 1: do get the chance to interact with people and just

843
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:47,239
Speaker 1: kind of put put dots together. Might you say it

844
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 1: feels like in a non playoff year, it feels like

845
00:43:51,239 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: there will be heavy discussion in the offseason in terms of,

846
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: you know, the way we framed it up late at

847
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 1: where did we go wrong? The dev and DuVernay the

848
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 1: special teams related issues. If you think about that, the

849
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: twenty some O line combinations.

850
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,839
Speaker 2: Is the O line good enough? Certainly invested in it.

851
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,840
Speaker 1: And that's where at the end of the border battle,

852
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: there's going to be a cool off and exit meetings

853
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:17,400
Speaker 1: and people are going to clean out locker rooms. We'll

854
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:21,040
Speaker 1: get final audio bits from some of our favorite players and.

855
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 2: Then they just kind of disappear into the mist for

856
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:24,240
Speaker 2: a while.

857
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: But the coaches are going to go back to work

858
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 1: and the big wigs down at TCO are going to

859
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: get together and start asking those questions, where did we

860
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: go wrong? So we loved the idea of bolstering the

861
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,960
Speaker 1: offensive line. Did we make the right decisions? We loved

862
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,319
Speaker 1: the idea of bolstering the defensive front. Did we make

863
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 1: the right decisions? We loved the game planning into the draft.

864
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: Did we select the right players and so? And I

865
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of discussion to be had with

866
00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: some of those decisions. We loved the ascension of the

867
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:58,399
Speaker 1: kid QB. To the degree that we went the path

868
00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 1: we did. We decided I did that bolstering that offensive line,

869
00:45:02,480 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 1: bolstering that defensive front, and building around the kid was

870
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 1: more important potentially than finding financial answers to bringing a

871
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:15,240
Speaker 1: more veteran presence in at the QB spot. We loved

872
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 1: that idea. Was it the right decision? So the idea

873
00:45:19,239 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 1: versus the execution and then kind of the idea and

874
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 1: you think about it in from the fan mindset, a

875
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: fair number of you want accountability, right the team didn't

876
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 1: make the playoffs.

877
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Speaker 2: Head's got a role? Well do they? That bears conversation.

878
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,799
Speaker 1: That's that's what they're talking about, or we'll be talking

879
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: about and which heads And so I can't I can't,

880
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: I can't peg a spot right now specifically that says

881
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:51,399
Speaker 1: this just has to this has to go. I've never

882
00:45:51,520 --> 00:45:55,400
Speaker 1: I guess I've never really gone down that road in

883
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 1: any vein anyway. But I just think about certain parts

884
00:45:59,600 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: of this the massive, the massive injuries, the depth at

885
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:07,920
Speaker 1: certain positions, are inability to recover from those injuries, uh,

886
00:46:08,040 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 1: the the inadequacy at certain spots, gaffes and things.

887
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,000
Speaker 2: Uh, there's a lot that needs to be reviewed.

888
00:46:16,440 --> 00:46:18,839
Speaker 1: And it's it's crazy to speak that way in some

889
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 1: ways because this is still a team that, with myriad issues,

890
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: are on the verge of finding their way to nine

891
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 1: and eight. I mean some low rated opponents down the

892
00:46:28,480 --> 00:46:30,680
Speaker 1: stretch here, helping to maybe pad the stats a bit,

893
00:46:30,719 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 1: but all the same, uh, the win loss record being

894
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: where it is, given where we came from. Wow, what

895
00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 1: a year. Leavell's going to join us next segment. But

896
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,320
Speaker 1: the reason that that I went down that road is well,

897
00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:46,880
Speaker 1: Leavell texted me and told me, hey, roads are a

898
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: little slick, underestimated traffic.

899
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,239
Speaker 5: So let's do some news with Brett blakemore. What do

900
00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:54,320
Speaker 5: you got, Brett, Well, a couple of things on your monologue. One,

901
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 5: we're team accountability here, we're team accountability. You and me

902
00:46:58,200 --> 00:46:59,200
Speaker 5: your team accountability.

903
00:46:59,320 --> 00:46:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah.

904
00:46:59,680 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: Also the Dog and Pony Show.

905
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 5: I think they should hold that maybe in Long Island

906
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 5: somewhere in the New York area. That would be my guest.

907
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,840
Speaker 5: All right, let's go number start here.

908
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 6: Right curly, the Michigan State Spartan gives it over, gets

909
00:47:14,640 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 6: it back, left side circle.

910
00:47:16,440 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 2: Back side, star sellers on par and it's six to

911
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 2: four t USA.

912
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: That was a great highlight because you got all a

913
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: Halvey yes, in the entire thing where it started out.

914
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, we got a little rip Van Helvey here. Okay,

915
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,799
Speaker 1: he's just a little sleepy. Oh and then he comes

916
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: to live.

917
00:47:38,719 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: He comes to live the Michigan State Spartan all right.

918
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: So there's that, and then it crescendos in the absolute

919
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:46,320
Speaker 1: perfect spot.

920
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:47,719
Speaker 2: He did. He did a great job.

921
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,160
Speaker 1: That the work that that Halvey and uh and Mark

922
00:47:51,239 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 1: Parrish have done. And I just heard that the one

923
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:57,200

00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,200

Speaker 5: them wins and one of them, loses then they can

941
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,840
Speaker 5: play each other in the, Semis so that would kind of.

942
00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:50,720

985

1012
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,240

1013

1016
00:52:13,160 --> 00:52:17,239

00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: they Got Quinn. Hughes and you, know, sadly you, know

1018
00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 1: that's just a couple of games from removed from a

1019
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: tough el to the. Preds uh that. Tough, UH i

1020
00:52:26,080 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 1: mean you want to talk about being. Dominated THE abs

1021
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: just rolled in here and just, said, okay, Yeah Black,

1022
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,480
Speaker 1: friday that was cute and we lost and it was

1023
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:34,160
Speaker 1: a fun game and it came down to the wire

1024
00:52:34,160 --> 00:52:35,240
Speaker 1: and you best at us.

1025
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 2: Or it's gonna roll in and remind you what we

1026
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 2: have and, uh and they did. That.

1027
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: Uh it's it's crazy how this this division or maybe

1028
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,120
Speaker 1: it's not. Crazy can you tell me if it's? Crazy

1029
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 1: just kind of the separation man fighting the voice on

1030
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:54,400
Speaker 1: A New Year's eve. Here, uh it's kind of, crazy

1031
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:58,160
Speaker 1: the separation you've started to see within the. Division so you,

1032
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,000
Speaker 1: know as good as The wild have, been and they're

1033
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 1: still staring up at both The Dallas stars and everyone's

1034
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,439
Speaker 1: staring up At, colorado but then you have to dig

1035
00:53:08,480 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 1: in here a little. Bit The wild at fifty four,

1036
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: POINTS i think the Next Central division team would be

1037
00:53:15,040 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: The Utah mammoth with thirty, Nine so you've already staked

1038
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 1: a fifteen point lead in your own.

1039
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:22,560
Speaker 2: Division AND i just.

1040
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: Thought, utah it sounded like they're kind of on the.

1041
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 1: Come you just kind of appreciate maybe What nashville has

1042
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:31,520
Speaker 1: and what they potentially could, do although maybe in the

1043
00:53:31,600 --> 00:53:35,160
Speaker 1: end they're going to be a middling. Team blues again right,

1044
00:53:35,200 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 1: there similar, conversation battling operation as they always, are but

1045
00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 1: maybe not going to get over the. Hump but you

1046
00:53:43,000 --> 00:53:45,400
Speaker 1: just look like and then The jets are just the

1047
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 1: dredge of the of The Western conference right, Now LIKE i,

1048
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: mean we kind of have a hideous division and you

1049
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: have the three top End, juggernauts which is probably, frustrating

1050
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:58,280
Speaker 1: which is why would.

1051
00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:00,400
Speaker 5: We Be let me see, Here it's kind of like

1052
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:02,839
Speaker 5: THE sec when WHEN i was growing up and in high,

1053
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 5: school where you have like the two or three just,

1054
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 5: powerhouses and you Have, vanderbilt yeah In, kentucky and then

1055
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 5: just the sledge just the.

1056
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 2: Walkovers so AM i.

1057
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: Correct that if we would go back to AND i

1058
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 1: don't remember when exactly they went to kind of.

1059
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: Focus we want to create rivalries in the.

1060
00:54:21,560 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 1: Playoffs we want, them and maybe it's a decade ago,

1061
00:54:24,760 --> 00:54:25,480
Speaker 1: now maybe it's.

1062
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:26,560
Speaker 2: A little longer than. That i'm not.

1063
00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:31,600
Speaker 1: Sure but if we went back to the typical one to, eight, Yeah,

1064
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: aves let me See avs obviously the One, stars Two wild,

1065
00:54:37,880 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: THREE i mean, Yeah, Oilers, knights And ducks would then be,

1066
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: four five and, six so we would get The ducks

1067
00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:49,760
Speaker 1: home ice advantage first, round, okay and then The avs

1068
00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: would be hosting The, Sharks stars hosting The, Kings we

1069
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:54,920
Speaker 1: host The, ducks oil And.

1070
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,359

1074
00:55:05,640 --> 00:55:07,799
Speaker 1: Need to go back to the one. Eight is that

1075
00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,759
Speaker 1: a hot talker in? Hockey it is a, talker and

1076
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,360
Speaker 1: it's it's been. SAID i, mean think about it this.

1077
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: Way in the league standings the ENTIRE, nhl It's, Colorado,

1078
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 1: Dallas minnesota one two. Three so the third place team

1079
00:55:20,480 --> 00:55:24,120
Speaker 1: in the ENTIRE nhl does not have home ice advantage

1080
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:26,880
Speaker 1: in the first. Round we'd have to go to go To. Dallas,
