Probably a 21 00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 3: hooded sweatshirt. The combines in an adjustable waste, yeah, or elastic, 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 3: which I always wear, So I don't know much weight 23 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 3: I'm gaining. 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: I'm more of an oversized basketball shorts guy. Yeah, but 25 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 2: it's tough to like oversized, and for me, it's tough. 26 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 2: Don't take a black light to those. Are you going 27 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 2: to the family show? No?

Oh sweet as well. 34 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 2: So uh, it's it's it's a mad dash right now. 35 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 2: He's doing some pre recorded chats potentially over the weekend 36 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: to catch up with people. The combine is insane, insane, 37 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 2: and there's a there's a there's a part there's it's 38 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: kind of a frat party. Yeah, there are some elements 39 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 2: of that, but these guys are running ragged for days 40 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 2: and uh and the ability to catch up with his 41 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 2: any as we can over that time is really the uh, 42 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 2: the goal and the mission and then the rest of 43 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: us are going to be sitting at home, basketball shorts, sweatpants, 44 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 2: exposed belly as you stretched back in the chair to 45 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 2: to scratch you somehow pokes at mine. 46 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: Whenever I do that, well, I told you, because I mean, 47 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: I'm just. 48 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 2: It's over. I got a cashmere sweater on and I'm 49 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 2: not wearing a sweater. Yeah. 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 1: Uh. 51 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: My my kids when they were young, saw me. I'm 52 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: just walking around the house. I was shirtless, and Ava, 53 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: like two and a half years old, just started pointing 54 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 2: at this National geographic of a gorilla and just pointed 55 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 2: at me. Dead Dad, I can see it. Yeah. So 56 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: so basically, whenever we watched the movie Congo, she thinks 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: I'm related to Amy. I don't know. I leg which however, though, you. 58 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,519 Speaker 3: Guys, and it hasn't been just you, but you Pa 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 3: and Tiny Joe started going to the combine when like 60 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: they were like one of like three or four people there. 61 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, what was the hook with that? Why did they 62 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 2: start doing that? Well, it just to just to have access. 63 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: At one point it was kind of it was just 64 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 2: open for business. Yeah, but it wasn't in the convention center. 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: NFL has figured out how to make spectacles out of 66 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: just about everything, right. And so even when I first started, 67 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: it was still that's that would be twenty fourteen. They 68 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 2: were still doing the combine. The radio row was not 69 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 2: much of a row. It was more of like a 70 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 2: radio kiosk. And it was like you said, two three, 71 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: four stations in a line on the concourse at Lucas 72 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: Oil Stadium. So Steeler's flagship, I think that's WDVE. They 73 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 2: were there, two or three others maybe the Giants, the Vikings, 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: and the National Radio. Those were the only spots. Yeah, 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 2: and so, and it was so much from an access 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: standpoint than it is now because if you remember, there 77 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 2: was a video and it kind of resurfaced when when 78 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: Carson Wentz came here, the video of PA trying to 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: track down Carson Wentz, and that was twenty sixteen ish maybe, 80 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 2: And and but you had access to those players, you know, 81 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 2: Joey Bosa sitting at the table next to us pre 82 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: draft out of OSU. We were right there with them. 83 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 2: It was awesome. And then now we're in this designated 84 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 2: radio hall. You may see a player, but he's fifty 85 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,679 Speaker 2: yards away. You don't really have the same access anymore. 86 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 2: And now everybody's there, but everybody, everybody except there's this 87 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 2: weird It went from nothing. It crescendoed, and now whether 88 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: it's teams and certain team like Vikings Entertainment Network, other 89 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 2: teams versions of them, some of them started not going again. Yeah, 90 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 2: so it almost it's almost like it peaked. A lot 91 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: of people are like, Wow, this is a complete circus. 92 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 2: We're not getting anything done and it's not worth whatever 93 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,119 Speaker 2: we're putting into it to go there. So we're not. 94 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,919 Speaker 2: So you're kind of seeing a little bit of a 95 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: clawback or a pullback there. But yeah, back in the 96 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: day it was probably even even more uh ghost town, 97 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: like with with Tiny Joe that nobody was there, nobody. 98 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 2: But but then we got to talk to people. You 99 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 2: can just walk up to John Harbaugh and say, hey, 100 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,000 Speaker 2: what up, brother, Yeah, how's a gun? Well, I mean 101 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 2: you introduce myself that way. But you get the point. 102 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: These people are just wandering aimlessly. Yeah, we were inside that. 103 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 2: Now we're on the we're on the other side of 104 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 2: the Yeah. 105 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 3: It's uh, it's two of the best shows you guys do. 106 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 3: It's outstanding radio. The inside of it is awesome, and 107 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 3: it's the beginning of the illegal tampering where now they 108 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 3: allow illegal tampering, which is now legal tampering. All of 109 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 3: that doesn't make any sense, But you know what I mean, 110 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 3: these a week from yesterday is when everybody starts showing 111 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 3: up there, even on Sunday. I think our guy Alec 112 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 3: Lewis leaves Sunday, this is gonna this is where we're 113 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,479 Speaker 3: gonna start to put these teams together. And we saw 114 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: yesterday with Miami they they cut a bunch of people. 115 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 3: They're trying to get under the cap. They were about 116 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 3: as out of a cap situation as we're in. So 117 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: once I think yesterday with Miami, I think we'll start 118 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 3: seeing more of that as it goes. 119 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree with you, and that's that's part 120 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 2: of the reason I wanted to bring you in here, 121 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 2: is I know that as soon as the season ends, 122 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 2: and maybe even before you start looking at mock drafts, Yes, 123 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: and with our team. So this is the first time 124 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: in a long time, Saucy, where I'm almost kind of 125 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 2: annoyed at this moment because I have a lack of 126 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,680 Speaker 2: a grasp of what's happening. So the QB thing has 127 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: my mind spinning. Yes, you mentioned the cap situation, and 128 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: there's fifty different levers that they can pull to get 129 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 2: back and black again. But we're still a team and 130 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: so and so that's a wreck right now. But but 131 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 2: then we're also still a team on paper that can 132 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,599 Speaker 2: easily bounce back and be a force in the North again. 133 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 2: And but this team not just needs to figure out 134 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: the QB spot, it needs to ace the freaking draft 135 00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: as it does and so, but but then some of 136 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 2: those things that draft conversation has to be in line 137 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 2: with what those levers are being pulled, right what happens there? 138 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 2: So whether it's TJ Hawkinson, what does that look like? 139 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: Javon Hargrave, very disappointing season, fat cap number? What are 140 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 2: they going to do at center with Ryan Kelly? Right? So, 141 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 2: but in positions we probably agree need to be added 142 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 2: to maybe maybe corner or safety, d line, et cetera. 143 00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 2: So it's February, February seventeenth, to be specific, do you 144 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: have thoughts on what they could do at PICKA T. 145 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: I mean, we got so much. Now we're going to 146 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 2: be doing draft shows and where and eventually, again, these 147 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: levers are going to be pulled and that could alter things. 148 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 2: Who excites you who excites you in the draft? Well, 149 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 2: I think if you want names, I have a few 150 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:45,880 Speaker 2: of them. 151 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 3: But if you just want positions, I think what we 152 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,000 Speaker 3: saw with the Qurazy regime that came to an end 153 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 3: about two weeks ago. What we saw is they would 154 00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: always draft for need. It was never best player available. 155 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 3: They would always just draft for need. And it bit 156 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 3: him in the butt a few times. Like you know, 157 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,440 Speaker 3: you you you go back and we can all talk 158 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 3: about the twenty twenty two draft and how horrible that 159 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 3: was and the moving around, and you know, if you 160 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: look at it, they literally could have sat where they 161 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 3: were and probably taken Kyle Hamilton and then taken the 162 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: wide receiver that Brett's favorite team has. Right, that's an 163 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: A plus draft. That that's the way you go. And 164 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 3: it couldn't have been the exact opposite the one guy 165 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: I think. I think Lewis cene Is was cut by 166 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 3: his UFL team, and I don't think Andrew Booth is 167 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:36,439 Speaker 3: in the league anymore. 168 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, we saw at Ingram with the Houston Texans. Who's 169 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,959 Speaker 2: I think gonna get paid? I think he might get paid. Yeah, Okay, 170 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 2: But because I think I think. 171 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 3: We're going to see is this is a it's a 172 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 3: it's a situation with this offseason where a lot of 173 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: these guys that are marginal to decent are gonna get 174 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 3: paid because this draft has some very very good positions. 175 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 3: Like I think it's deep a corner. I think it's 176 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:05,679 Speaker 3: deep at defensive line. There are maybe one and a 177 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: half quarterbacks in this draft that you know, I mean 178 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 3: we're gonna I mean I would bet if you went 179 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,079 Speaker 3: to DraftKings right now, I bet Tye Simpson the Alabama 180 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 3: quarterbacks draft position is probably twenty five and a half, 181 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,559 Speaker 3: right yeah, or twenty one and a half wherever the 182 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 3: Steelers pick. Because we go through that song and dance 183 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: every year. Who are the Steelers gonna pick? Interrupting you 184 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: real quick? 185 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 2: Am I the only one that's not completely sold that 186 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: Mendoza is just going to be Bonafi number one overall 187 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 2: pick and just be the next great quarterback in the NFL. 188 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,440 Speaker 2: I think there's that. 189 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: But I also think Mendoza is in the situation he 190 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 3: is in because they went undefeated, they won the championship. 191 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 3: He threw like four or five picks all season, amazing season. 192 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 3: All of the guys a year ago today that we 193 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 3: were talking about that we're gonna or you know, a 194 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 3: year whatever. It was all the guys that we thought 195 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 3: before the college football season, the arch Bannings of the world, 196 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 3: the Sellers guy at South Carol, the Clemson Quarterback Club Nick, 197 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,680 Speaker 3: all those guys we thought would come out in this draft, 198 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: they all stayed. So he's the benefit. He's going to 199 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: be the beneficiary of that. Yeah, because I think what 200 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,800 Speaker 3: we'll hear, and it's one of the draft talkers everybody 201 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 3: likes to talk about, is where would Fernando Mendoza go 202 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: if that class, that twenty twenty seven class. He might 203 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 3: go third or fourth, but he's earned the situation to 204 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 3: go number one. One of the names that I really 205 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 3: like is Peter Woods, the defensive tackle from Clemson, and 206 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 3: Caleb Banks, the defensive lineman from Florida. 207 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: I think he'd be great. But what you said. 208 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,199 Speaker 3: The first name you brought up about possibly being off 209 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 3: this team in TJ. Howkinson. I love the the tight 210 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 3: end from Oregon. I think he'd be I think it's Kenyon. 211 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 3: I think you yeah, Kenyon Sadik. I think he'd be great. 212 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 3: I think he'll be there at eighteen and I think 213 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 3: he'd be a home run pick that if you had 214 00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: to put a name on it right now, I think 215 00:10:58,920 --> 00:10:59,439 Speaker 3: he'd be the. 216 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: Guy that you would probably take at eighteen. 217 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 3: And the funny part about this draft, Norto is three 218 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,959 Speaker 3: months ago, four months ago, even I thought we were 219 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 3: in lockstep for a top ten pick. So you start 220 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 3: looking at like the Caleb Downs, the safety from Ohio State, 221 00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 3: who's an absolute stud. You look at some of these receivers, 222 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 3: the Tait character. You look at you know, Jeremiah Love, 223 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 3: the running back from Notre Dame who people thought would 224 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 3: be there. Or Ruben Bay Awesome, the guy from Miami, 225 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 3: the defensive lineman from Miami. We're not going to be 226 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 3: that high. A lot of those names aren't going to 227 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 3: get down there. But it's uh. I think my point 228 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 3: of this long winding word salad is they're gonna there. 229 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: We have to get back to just taking the best 230 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 3: player of a best possibly the best player available at eighteen. 231 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 3: Is I think where they're going to go with and 232 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: we'll see the holes that they have to fill and 233 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,960 Speaker 3: how they're going to maneuver their way around the weird 234 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 3: cap situation that they're in. 235 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's but Sadiq for instance, with the Ducks. 236 00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 2: If he's the best player there, you want to take him. 237 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 2: That does become the conversation though, of what are we 238 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 2: doing with TJ. Hawkins? 239 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: Right? 240 00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 2: Do you still you got to maybe handcuff part of that. 241 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: I'm actually I've been looking and I'm totally with you 242 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 2: in terms of we just need to be pa please 243 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: best player please. I've been kind of looking at edge 244 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,200 Speaker 2: rushers as well, and you know, part of me, part 245 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: of me thinks that, Okay, Dallas Turner into year three, 246 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: hopefully that continues to ascend. But at his age, Andrew 247 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 2: Van Ginkle, as much as we love him from a 248 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: depth standpoint, Andrew Van Ginkle missing those games he had 249 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 2: the next thing in the past and he was banged 250 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 2: up in twenty twenty five. I'm you know you mentioned 251 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,199 Speaker 2: you mentioned Peter Woods who's at Clemson. There's another cat, TJ. 252 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: Parker at Clemson, and then there's a Michigan man, Derek Moore. 253 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 2: A couple of productive cats in college that and that's 254 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: where again head spinning on the QB situation, totally in 255 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 2: on the idea of this. Whatever your board looks like 256 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: at eighteen, don't believe for around no, just take a 257 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 2: freaking guy, Take the best player available, Take the best player, 258 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 2: make a difference, make some memories and but but that's 259 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 2: uh yeah, okay, So Caleb Downs is who you said, right, No, 260 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 2: Caleb Banks. Caleb Downs will be long gone by eighteen. Yeah. 261 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 2: He's single digits, isn't he. Yeah? Yeah, oh yeah, he'll 262 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 2: be a top five or six pick. Yeah. Yeah. It's 263 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 2: just corner safety, d line of some sort and edge rush. 264 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 3: Let me let me ask you this question. I know 265 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: you got a break and I gotta I get uh, 266 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 3: you know, you gotta move on for me. Do you 267 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 3: think there's a possibility that they trade Jonathan Grenard for 268 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 3: a cap spot. He doesn't have any guaranteed money, and 269 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 3: you know, maybe they have a big belief in Dallas Turner. 270 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, do you have them? 271 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,320 Speaker 3: I think they? I think they do. I don't know. 272 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: I mean maybe it's a second round pick for him. No, 273 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 3: I just mean, do you have belief in Dallas Turner? 274 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 2: Well, I mean I didn't. I'm still struggling with that. 275 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 3: I mean he played well, though there were stretches where 276 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 3: he looked like a top twenty pick, right he. 277 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 2: Was starting to show his gap stock. 278 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 3: Yes, you know, the knock from the people who didn't 279 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 3: want him knocked, if that makes sense, the people who 280 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 3: stood up for him, ye, would keep saying he's twenty 281 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:14,040 Speaker 3: years old. 282 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 2: I don't know. 283 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 3: I think if they I think they have I think 284 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 3: they might have a little faith in Dallas Turner that 285 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: they just need to find ways to get money. 286 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: They don't have any money. 287 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: And you can say that the drafting was bad with Cocy, 288 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 3: I think one of the main reasons he's not here 289 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: is how badly this cap situation is with a rookie quarterback. 290 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 2: Well well again, when he came in in twenty twenty two, 291 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 2: he had two goals, get the team younger and become 292 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: more financially firm, and they're none of that. And they're 293 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 2: neither of those things, right and so and again this 294 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 2: isn't you know, from from a cap standpoint, as I 295 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: understand it, they can get they can get this taken 296 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: care of relatively easily, right void years I mean the 297 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: cap and say they can get that figured out. But 298 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,320 Speaker 2: to that end, regardless, he failed miserably on those two 299 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,560 Speaker 2: massive objection uh excuse me objectives. And yeah, I mean 300 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: the tough thing with Grenard when Grenard's fully healthy and 301 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: plays a full season like we saw last year. Maybe 302 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 2: he missed a game, I forget, but but Grenard and 303 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 2: we saw this in Houston is full season, Uber productive. 304 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: Uber nicked up missus half the year, and last year 305 00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 2: he only played in twelve games. That and so and 306 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 2: that in combination with with Andrew van Gikle, who's going 307 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 2: to be thirty one? Are you are you trading? You're 308 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 2: trading to save money. We also need we need a body. Yeah, 309 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 2: that's a good point. We need it. We need a 310 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: body there. So I so that's difficult for me to 311 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: see them trading Jonathan Grenard. But but in terms of 312 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 2: making moves, that's it's like keeping an open mind I have. 313 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 2: That's what what I was talking about earlier. I have 314 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 2: no grasp in terms of what the next step is. 315 00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: It's it's going to be of course, get get under 316 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 2: the cap. I get that, But then what because they 317 00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 2: got to solve a quarterback situation. What a year to 318 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,560 Speaker 2: need a Q be boys, that's a that's a frustrating 319 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 2: issue unto itself. And then in terms of adding the depth, 320 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 2: Harrison Smith out of the mix. If they go safety 321 00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 2: at eighteen and between now we'll get the combine next week, 322 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: and there's some there's a steamy guy at eighteen that 323 00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: we get and we love. I'll love that. If there's 324 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 2: a corner I love. I love Isaiah Rodgers, but I 325 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 2: think he's last year of super cheap deals, so are 326 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: they going to re up him? Byron Murphy Junior Sadly, 327 00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: productivity wise was a complete dud in comparison to a 328 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:33,520 Speaker 2: year ago. So if they go corner, I'm cool with it. 329 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 2: I mentioned Edge Rusher, but then Javon Hargre like that 330 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: seems like the most obvious one to me. Javon Hargrave, 331 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: you can save eleven or twelve in the in the 332 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 2: flick of a risk. I think he and and and 333 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: I don't know what the what the guaranteed cash is 334 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: in terms of in terms of Jonathan Allen, but this 335 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,720 Speaker 2: is this is a true rats nest, and so in 336 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: combination with with where we are now, combined with the 337 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 2: fact we won't be able to truly evaluate how they 338 00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:00,840 Speaker 2: do in this draft for another. 339 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 3: Couple of years, but they got to nail it. They 340 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 3: have to have to play this season. They have to 341 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: be productive and played this season. 342 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: They do and what's what's I guess kind of ticks 343 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: me from from a patient standpoint or lack of patients. 344 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 2: Remember last spring how excited we were that they added 345 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: Jonathan Allen and Javon Hargrave and Ryan Kelly. Oh, didn't 346 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 2: see that. Didn't see that coming, right, You didn't see 347 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:29,960 Speaker 2: it coming. And then you started to play those games 348 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:31,720 Speaker 2: because you're a Vikings fan and you want it. You 349 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: want to be as optimistic as possible. Well, they had injuries, 350 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 2: so that's probably why maybe we paid a little less 351 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 2: than we would have otherwise. But if they're all healthy, 352 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 2: we can make some players with this group. But they weren't, 353 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 2: and then they weren't. 354 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 4: No, and we spent more money than any team in 355 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 4: the NFL over the last twelve months trying to put 356 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 4: this thing together, and somehow Flores still figured out how 357 00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 4: to make that thing work at a high level. 358 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,719 Speaker 3: And then there was the offense. Yeah, and then there 359 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 3: was the quarterback. Do you think McCarthy will start Game one? 360 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 3: I think at this moment he'd still be favored to. 361 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: But that's without that's okay, so uh part of this 362 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,199 Speaker 2: Talker Tuesday talkbacks free iHeart Radio app give us up 363 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 2: to your best thirty seconds, and you know, maybe maybe 364 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 2: it is with a right to change it, as PA 365 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 2: would say, between now and free agency, what's the name? 366 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,159 Speaker 2: What do you got free iHeart radio app? Who's the 367 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 2: QB you want in here? I think that if you 368 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 2: we were talking about, you saw that preposterous trade idea, 369 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: and then this isn't even like Bill Barnwell, I think 370 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: is the guy who wrote it. Not an indictment of him. 371 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 2: This is what they do. It's just off season February, right, 372 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: and it's February. It's NFL fodder, which we love, we 373 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,720 Speaker 2: adore it, and we need it. The idea of mac 374 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,359 Speaker 2: Jones coming in here, well that JJ McCarthy I feel 375 00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 2: like can beat out a mac Jones and so and 376 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 2: he was, he was great in Shanahan's system, and he's 377 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 2: he's a dog, he's a tough guy. He's you know, 378 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 2: limping down the field, won't go out doing doing Yeoman's 379 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,719 Speaker 2: work while Purdy was on the shelf. But but that 380 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 2: if you do that, that's one conversation. Now further down 381 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: the line, big game hunting, and now somebody with extensive 382 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: equity comes into the party, well then it's then that 383 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: then that becomes actually obvious that McCarthy will not start, 384 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 2: and that might be the end of McCarthy. So there's 385 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 2: this huge, as I said yesterday, this massive spectrum in 386 00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 2: terms of the Sam Howell Brett Rippon idea as competition 387 00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:41,560 Speaker 2: and going for a burrow, you know what I mean. So, 388 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: as of now, as it sits today, I feel like 389 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: after such a limited number of starts and games that 390 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:51,879 Speaker 2: you have to say that that they're not giving up 391 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 2: on him and they're going to give him that fair 392 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:57,360 Speaker 2: chance to develop and fall in line. But but it's 393 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: certainly more tenuous than it was a year ago. I 394 00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 2: just need to know who the other guy is. It 395 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: ain't Max prosmer Val you Mom, Maroon and Gold, we 396 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,199 Speaker 2: love you. It ain't Max prosmer No. It can't be. No, 397 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 2: it can't be. So at this rate, I would say 398 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: still that he would be favored to start Week one. 399 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,159 Speaker 2: My opinion is if they trade that. If that trade 400 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 2: that was proposed by Bill Barnwell, I think it was 401 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 2: like a second round pick and a bunch of stuff. 402 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 2: If you give up a second round pick for a quarterback, 403 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: McCarthy is not your starter. I just think even if 404 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,119 Speaker 2: you don't know like and I also would say if 405 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 2: if and they're you know, all the hot runners, that 406 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,280 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray is going to be cut. I think if 407 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,919 Speaker 2: you bring him in here, I don't think JJ is 408 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 2: your starter. I think that's more of a competition. But 409 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:46,400 Speaker 2: if you go out and you. 410 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 3: Move high equity draft picks for a quarterback, JJ McCarthy 411 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 3: is not your starting quarterback because you can't bring Max 412 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: Jones in and give up a second round pick where 413 00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: you need the cheap, cheap players where you need the 414 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 3: draft picks. You need to not bring guys in here. 415 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 3: The problem with this team is they don't have younger 416 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,000 Speaker 3: guys who aren't expensive that play well. They don't have 417 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: any of that except for a handful like we saw, 418 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 3: you know, the Patriots of the world and even the 419 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 3: Chicago Bears. They were great because all their young players 420 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,359 Speaker 3: were good. 421 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 2: That is, they need that. 422 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 3: If you're going to give up high end equity draft equity, 423 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 3: you're not starting JJ McCarthy. In fact, you might even 424 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 3: package him with one of these trades. If you go 425 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,679 Speaker 3: out for a Burrow, McCarthy is part of the package. 426 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 3: Most likely he has to be. You can't You just 427 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,359 Speaker 3: can't have him around, not that he's a bad guy, 428 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 3: but you just it's it's your close in the book, 429 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 3: you're closing the book. 430 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,399 Speaker 2: And I think that even goes for if you bringing 431 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 2: a mac Jones now the but but then on the 432 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 2: other end of it, if you're trading high end equity, 433 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 2: we're not talking about pick eighteen for a team that 434 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,280 Speaker 2: needs young talent to play well. So that I mean again, 435 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 2: the rats nests that the Vikings are in, it's a 436 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 2: they're in a bad spot. Would you always rather have 437 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,159 Speaker 2: you know, a Joe Burrow Again, we're talking in the 438 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: clouds here, that elevates things around him potentially, right, you can, 439 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:10,480 Speaker 2: you can be, but he doesn't stay healthy. And that's 440 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: that's Burrow in particular. Yes, agreed, So, but we need 441 00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 2: young talent to offset what we potentially would be doing 442 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 2: at quarterback. But to get that quarterback, we require leveraging 443 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,480 Speaker 2: assets that would yield us young talent. 444 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 3: I mean, Burrow would cost you at least three first 445 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,199 Speaker 3: three first, probably three first and maybe like Grenard because 446 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 3: they're probably gonna lose Trey Hendrickson and probably you would 447 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,280 Speaker 3: throw in McCarthy, so then they would have somebody at quarterback. 448 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,240 Speaker 2: Man, I remember a couple of years ago, I was 449 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:48,280 Speaker 2: in the PST. As the PST goes on this year, 450 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 2: I said I wouldn't trade three first for Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, 451 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,320 Speaker 2: I was just dumb. I'm not even sure. Have you 452 00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,399 Speaker 2: ever have you ever heard like audio of yourself saying 453 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 2: something and you vaguely recall the conversation or the topic, 454 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 2: but you're just disgusted by your own statement. Yeah, yeah, 455 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,360 Speaker 2: that happens to me far too often. Yeah, I try 456 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 2: not to least. I mean, I've made a living out 457 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: of being dumb. That's dumb. It's really dumb. That's real, 458 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 2: it's incredibly stupid. Yeah, that's not right. So but but 459 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 2: with the injuries, maybe that conversation changes a bit. With Burrow, 460 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: probably not though, Yeah he's just But but to that end, 461 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 2: if you if you do that, well then we're not 462 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 2: we're not upgrading safety at Pick A team. We're not 463 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,359 Speaker 2: upgrading d line. We're not adding that twenty three year 464 00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 2: old potential star that that we need, the best player 465 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 2: available that we've been talking about. 466 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:37,840 Speaker 1: Uh. 467 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 2: It's it's an absolute it's an absolute mess. But as 468 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 2: it pertains to the draft, until anything weird happens, I 469 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 2: like where you're head at. 470 00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:47,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't wait. It all starts in about a week. 471 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 3: We'll start getting some greasy rumors soon. It's the best 472 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: combine week is. So it's the best week. I mean 473 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 3: the league year is under a month away, like the 474 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 3: tampering bit is, like I think three weeks for Monday. Like, 475 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 3: let's go, it's football's off season. Football season is the 476 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: best it is. Then it takes then it e breaks 477 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 3: itself in about June, and then there we'll be right. 478 00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 2: Back at it big swing of things. Shan't wait. Thank you, brother, 479 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 2: you're the best. That's meet Sauce Paul Lambert, Power Trip 480 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 2: Morning Show and that kicks off nine to noon and 481 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 2: a talker Tuesday.

You can spin the wheel 484 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 2: if you want. Really, but do you have a name 485 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: as we're talking about this again, whether it's leveraging young talent, 486 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,679 Speaker 2: young talent opportunities in the draft with the trade to 487 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 2: acquire a QB, or are you sticking and picking at 488 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 2: eighteen and it's best player available? And here in mid 489 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 2: February before the combine and a month and change before 490 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 2: the draft. This is the name that I love. That's 491 00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,119 Speaker 2: a talkback right there? Just tell me why or in 492 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 2: the QB conversation again with a right to change it, 493 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,920 Speaker 2: as my guy would say, who's the QB? Who's the guy? 494 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 2: I'm seeing a ton of texts on Kyler Murray. I 495 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 2: saw some steam yesterday Todd McShay.

What is it, thirty 562 00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:33,119 Speaker 2: one or thirty two goals? Just one conceded over the 563 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,240 Speaker 2: course of the Olympics. How special have they been over 564 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: this time? 565 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen anything like this? I mean, do you 566 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 1: want to talk about one of the most impressive things 567 00:28:46,600 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: at the entire Olympic Games? It has been the US 568 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:57,239 Speaker 1: women's hockey team just phenomenal and their skill level is 569 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 1: is I mean watching them evolve and I remember calling 570 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: one of the first frozen fours in women's hockey, and 571 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 1: to where that was, where it was then to what 572 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 1: these women are doing now, is it's just so much 573 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:23,000 Speaker 1: fun to watch. 574 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 2: No, it has been, and well it's going to be 575 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 2: Canada and the US and the final could have probably 576 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 2: told you that, given the history of these gals at 577 00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: the Olympics, but this doesn't. You know, it's it's kind 578 00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 2: of a maybe it's not a unique spot, but it 579 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 2: does kind of feel that way in some regard where yeah, 580 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 2: it's US Canada. Yeah, we want to see a good one. 581 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,840 Speaker 2: We want to see our squad come out on the 582 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: right side of it. But it's been just an avalanche 583 00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: when these ladies turn it on, and we saw the 584 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: initial match up with Canada, it's just, I just how 585 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 2: competitive could it possibly be? It sounds insane to ask that, 586 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 2: but it feels that. 587 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 1: Way, right And typically you know, in past Olympics and 588 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: you know it's and in fact, Canada, the Canadian women 589 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: have won more Olympics Olympic gold than the US has, 590 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:19,560 Speaker 1: but this year there it is different. I mean, they 591 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: are heads and tails better than Canada, and you know, 592 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: I expect almost the same result that we saw in 593 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: the preliminary round. I just I don't see how anybody 594 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: can touch or come close to this US team. I mean, 595 00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: they're that good and it it you know, it's it's 596 00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: mind blowing what they've been able to do in this tournament. 597 00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 2: Is there is there an aspect of this that you 598 00:30:50,760 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 2: could look at the p w h L and say 599 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:56,000 Speaker 2: that this is somewhat a product of that and just 600 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 2: having that league and kind of upping the level of 601 00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 2: competition domest has allowed them to to go in with 602 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:07,280 Speaker 2: with a different level of game. Of course in the Olympics. 603 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: I don't know. 604 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a great question. I I 605 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: just think the programs for the younger girls when when 606 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,200 Speaker 1: they you know, when they've started out, and their commitment 607 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: to the game, and and you just you talk to 608 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,400 Speaker 1: any coach, who coach, who coaches or who has coached 609 00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:39,920 Speaker 1: a youth girls team or uh, you know, the going 610 00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:44,360 Speaker 1: up the level. They are sponges. They want to get better, 611 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 1: they learn, they take everything in, they work extremely hard, 612 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:55,400 Speaker 1: and and it is that has been the evolution in 613 00:31:55,440 --> 00:31:59,800 Speaker 1: my mind, with with their with their game. It's just 614 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 1: it's amazing to me. Oh, they just They just want 615 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: to get better, and they work so hard to do 616 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:12,720 Speaker 1: that and it's paying off as we see with Team USA. 617 00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:15,640 Speaker 2: To the men's side, they get to chill today and 618 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: they'll they'll find out Sweden or Latvia. I believe they're 619 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 2: playing this afternoon around two o'clock, and then we'll find 620 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,720 Speaker 2: out who the Americans are playing. The American men are 621 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:28,560 Speaker 2: playing Manyana. Just a simple ten thousand foot view question 622 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 2: on the men. What have you thought we heard about 623 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 2: the ladies. What have you thought about Boldie and all 624 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: the boys favor getting that goal the other day? What 625 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:38,520 Speaker 2: have you thought about the men at the Olympics. 626 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,959 Speaker 1: I'm really nervous going into the game, which I believe 627 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 1: will be against Sweden. You know, I think Sweden is 628 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: so good. They've had issues with their goaltending. And who's 629 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: going to start. Is it going to be Gus Is 630 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: it going to be Mark Strum. Both haven't played great, 631 00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:03,840 Speaker 1: but both have the ability to play great as as 632 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: we've seen. But I'm I'm a little weary about the 633 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 1: US team. I don't think that you know, they've They've 634 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 1: got guys in and out, Their lines have been moved 635 00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: around a little bit, and I don't think Nord that 636 00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:27,600 Speaker 1: that's the way you want to go into the into 637 00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: the metal round. I see Clayton Keller is back in, 638 00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,160 Speaker 1: he's played one game now, he's he's he looks like 639 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,840 Speaker 1: he's going to be back in for tomorrow's game. And 640 00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: Kyle Connor, who's is going to be out, which I 641 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: think is a huge, huge mistake on the part of 642 00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: the US team. So I don't think that they feel 643 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:54,120 Speaker 1: real comfortable with with the lines that they have up front. Now. Defensively, 644 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: I think they're d are elite. They're the best in 645 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,040 Speaker 1: the tournament, no question, and they're going to be the 646 00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 1: drivers of of Team USA. I think that's always been 647 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:10,080 Speaker 1: the case. But but when when you don't have you know, 648 00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 1: the the the let's call it the top line, the 649 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:17,120 Speaker 1: Ko Kochuku Chuck line. No issues with they've been said 650 00:34:17,160 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 1: from the beginning, they've been playing great. There's been some 651 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:26,560 Speaker 1: uh question marks with the so called second line with 652 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:33,520 Speaker 1: Boldie Denzel in in Austin Matthews. I think Austin Matthews 653 00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,680 Speaker 1: has played final A lot of people haven't, but you know, 654 00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: there's been some jockeying with that line a little bit. 655 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:44,880 Speaker 1: It looks like they'll play together tomorrow and tomorrow. But 656 00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,600 Speaker 1: then you've got your third and fourth lines, where it's 657 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,399 Speaker 1: it's been a who's gonna play with two? You got 658 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 1: show check, You've got Miller, you know, filling in here 659 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,759 Speaker 1: and there. I don't. I just don't feel comfortable with it. 660 00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,200 Speaker 1: And I think the omission of Kyle Connor concerns me 661 00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,600 Speaker 1: a little bit now that being said. That being said, 662 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,319 Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a hell of a lineup, right, 663 00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 1: but they're also playing a team in Sweden that is awfully, 664 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:18,440 Speaker 1: awfully good, and I'm just call me nervous for tomorrow's game. 665 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,920 Speaker 2: If it is indeed Sweden, we get to. You just 666 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,000 Speaker 2: haven't been able to catch some of the players, you know, 667 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,759 Speaker 2: for instance, in arison Eric Sinak, you mentioned Gus Bust 668 00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,719 Speaker 2: et cetera. You've been able to see You've been able 669 00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:34,319 Speaker 2: to see clips of it online and you can read 670 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 2: stories and such. But you know, at least from my 671 00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,640 Speaker 2: programming perspective, everything of course, has been so America focused, 672 00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 2: which is good. It's it's our country in the Olympics. 673 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,000 Speaker 2: Have you been able to pick anything out of ericson 674 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:49,880 Speaker 2: X game or the netminder et cetera. In terms of 675 00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,480 Speaker 2: Marcus Johansen, I don't know how much opportunity he's getting. 676 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:57,120 Speaker 2: First he's played one game, yep, okay, So what do 677 00:35:57,160 --> 00:36:01,680 Speaker 2: we know about our guys in Sweden? Yeah, Eck has 678 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,919 Speaker 2: been ek I mean he scored a short handed goal. 679 00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,280 Speaker 1: Who was it against? I think it well, I can't 680 00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,520 Speaker 1: recall Slovakia, and uh, you know it was Erics and 681 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:15,040 Speaker 1: Neck making a great play in his own end, making 682 00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:18,800 Speaker 1: a great pass to kempy uh Kemp. He takes a shot, 683 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:21,480 Speaker 1: ericson Neck right there for the rebound and knocks it in. 684 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 1: And you know, he's you know, he's been the same 685 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,400 Speaker 1: player that he has been here. He's been, he's been terrific. 686 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: Gus has been okay. You know, I think he played, 687 00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:36,640 Speaker 1: he's played in two of the games, uh for for Sweden, 688 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:41,879 Speaker 1: and and he's just been he's been okay. But he's 689 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:44,040 Speaker 1: going to you know, when you get to this medal round, 690 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 1: you've got had a great goaltending and and that that's 691 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: what's hurt Sweden in my opinion the most. Their defense, 692 00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:57,320 Speaker 1: their their decourt is elite. Thereforwards are elite. They skate, 693 00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 1: they move the puck, they you know they are as 694 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: good as anybody in the world. And and so the 695 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 1: matchup tomorrow, it's gonna it's gonna be a great one, 696 00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,440 Speaker 1: no quo, no question about it. And it might just 697 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:14,279 Speaker 1: come down to, is Hellibuck going to be better than 698 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 1: whoever Sweden plays in the net tomorrow? You know, whether 699 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:22,640 Speaker 1: it be Markstrom or or Gus. I think it's going 700 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:25,879 Speaker 1: to be Gus, to be quite honest with you, I 701 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,960 Speaker 1: think you know, if you're if you were to compare 702 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:31,759 Speaker 1: the two, I think he's been a little bit more 703 00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:36,760 Speaker 1: reliable than Markstrom has been for for Sweden. 704 00:37:37,840 --> 00:37:40,239 Speaker 2: Last thing for you here to the college ranks, I 705 00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,560 Speaker 2: mean wild, We're yeah, we're gonna. We're gonna get back 706 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,239 Speaker 2: after the wild and in earnest really a week from now, 707 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,440 Speaker 2: as I believe it's next Thursday, they resume play against 708 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,520 Speaker 2: against the Avs up in Bower, up in Mile High, 709 00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,840 Speaker 2: but but over in Denver. To the college team for 710 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:59,439 Speaker 2: a bit, you were in South Bend handling business for 711 00:37:59,640 --> 00:38:03,799 Speaker 2: Maroon in gold related hockey. What's what's going on with 712 00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:04,360 Speaker 2: this team? 713 00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:04,560 Speaker 1: Now? 714 00:38:04,560 --> 00:38:07,600 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've gone at length about about this thing 715 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:10,200 Speaker 2: over the course of time with with beyond the Pond 716 00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 2: and I was listening to some some Motsco audio just 717 00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,239 Speaker 2: kind of you know, this this league has changed the 718 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,560 Speaker 2: Big Ten itself as it continues to ascend. That this 719 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,719 Speaker 2: ain't like the old w C h A or the 720 00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 2: old conference that you know, it's it's almost like it 721 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,600 Speaker 2: was it was our turn to kind of have our 722 00:38:26,640 --> 00:38:30,800 Speaker 2: struggles with age and experience and quality. I'm paraphrasing, of course, 723 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,319 Speaker 2: but what what have you seen? Does that? Does that 724 00:38:33,360 --> 00:38:36,239 Speaker 2: all add up in terms of the trials and tribulations 725 00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 2: Motsco's group has had this season. 726 00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's it's a very very very young team, 727 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:45,560 Speaker 1: and you know, I mean they're they're their biggest issue 728 00:38:45,600 --> 00:38:49,279 Speaker 1: all season long, and and it's just been that way 729 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,680 Speaker 1: is their inability to get the three goals on a 730 00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: nightly basis. And if you don't do that, you're just 731 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:59,080 Speaker 1: not going to win in a league that is very offensive, 732 00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:03,160 Speaker 1: if you will. And and so that that, you know, 733 00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:06,719 Speaker 1: their power play, which is which is odd. They played it. 734 00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: They played Notre Dame right, and Notre Dame has the 735 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,400 Speaker 1: same issue. They can't get to three. However, they have 736 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: a great power play. I think they're fourth in the country, 737 00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:19,880 Speaker 1: fifth in the country. Minnesota's first, their second in the 738 00:39:19,920 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: country with their power play. So the guys that they have, 739 00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:32,120 Speaker 1: you know, and I'm talking to Zeemers, the Lambs, the LG. Mooney, 740 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:36,239 Speaker 1: they're they're terrific on the power play. But you have 741 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,000 Speaker 1: to play the whole game, right and you have to uh, 742 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,840 Speaker 1: you have to play five on five and I and 743 00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,400 Speaker 1: five on five. They their their inability to score goals 744 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:49,440 Speaker 1: as has killed them this year. They're getting great goaltending 745 00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 1: for the most part. They're defending really well, but if 746 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: you don't get the three goals, you're just not going 747 00:39:57,040 --> 00:40:00,960 Speaker 1: to win. And on Friday, it was a two two 748 00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:04,319 Speaker 1: game and they win, they win the shootout. Well, good right, 749 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:08,680 Speaker 1: they get the extra point. Saturday night they're they're up 750 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,879 Speaker 1: to one going into the third, have a power play 751 00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:14,719 Speaker 1: to start the third and they can't score on it, 752 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 1: and so you know, that puts Notre Dame. They're right 753 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,719 Speaker 1: back in it. They tie it, and then somehow they 754 00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,239 Speaker 1: get they get the third goal and win. So that's 755 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:28,600 Speaker 1: how it's kind of been all season long for this team. 756 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: And listen, they're you know, they're working hard and all 757 00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:34,279 Speaker 1: that fun stuff, but it's a it's a very young 758 00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:38,840 Speaker 1: team that just is having trouble scoring goals and that 759 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,440 Speaker 1: that's been, uh, that's been the big issue for him 760 00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:41,879 Speaker 1: this year. 761 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:45,160 Speaker 2: Is that still kind of an at large conversation in 762 00:40:45,200 --> 00:40:47,960 Speaker 2: college hockey? I mean, I feel like five six years 763 00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:50,200 Speaker 2: ago you would have been with us nine to noon 764 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 2: chatting with Pa about you know, look at Hastings and 765 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:56,400 Speaker 2: Mankato with the twenty four year old German kids versus 766 00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:00,560 Speaker 2: uh the what is it the casey middle stat Eden 767 00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:06,560 Speaker 2: Prairie's finest young fresh more inexperienced headed to big school. Like, 768 00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,520 Speaker 2: is that still an at large talker in college hockey? 769 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:12,760 Speaker 1: Well, I think it's changed quite a bit. In fact, 770 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: if you look at the c h A this year, 771 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:20,600 Speaker 1: which that league was known for getting older players and 772 00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:27,680 Speaker 1: you know, more experienced guys. Uh, either with with the 773 00:41:27,719 --> 00:41:33,120 Speaker 1: inclusion now of the HL where the these teams could 774 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:39,240 Speaker 1: uh get the Canadian junior player, the older Canadian junior player, 775 00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,719 Speaker 1: Well they can get those guys now and they're more 776 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 1: skilled and and you've seen more scoring in that league 777 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 1: this year, and it's a it's a much much better league. 778 00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,600 Speaker 1: In fact, in my opinion, they might get three teams 779 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:56,719 Speaker 1: in the in the tournament this year, so I think 780 00:41:56,760 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: we're seeing more skill put into play. Uh now, age wise, yeah, 781 00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: you know, there's there's some older guys, but that's just 782 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,520 Speaker 1: the nature of the beast and that that will never change, 783 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 1: you know, who. 784 00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:13,520 Speaker 2: Never changes you in terms of being the best.

He'll probably be on someone's roster. 820 00:43:57,320 --> 00:43:57,759 Speaker 1: But as the. 821 00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:02,759 Speaker 2: Backup, thanks for the talkback talkback machine Free iHeartRadio app. 822 00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,440 Speaker 2: Give us up to your best thirty seconds Talker Tuesday. 823 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,800 Speaker 2: Somebody's gonna get a twenty five dollars Northern Fire Grilling 824 00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,759 Speaker 2: and Barbecue Supply gift card as part of this. 825 00:44:12,239 --> 00:44:16,000 Speaker 7: Another talkback, Tony Harris called it from Maple Grove. 826 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 2: Listen, if David. 827 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:22,800 Speaker 7: McCarthy is the starting quarterback this upcoming season, Brian Flores 828 00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,200 Speaker 7: will be the head coach in twenty twenty seven. There's 829 00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 7: no way that I would have my quarterback that has 830 00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:33,440 Speaker 7: to create an alter eagle what to be able to 831 00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:34,840 Speaker 7: play the position nine. 832 00:44:34,920 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 2: He's not the guy.

The 836 00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:57,080 Speaker 8: only option, that's the best option. You bring Kirko back, Listen. 837 00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,160 Speaker 8: He's the smartest quarterback in the game right now, the 838 00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:05,480 Speaker 8: best film stud here. He would be the absolute best 839 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 8: mentor for JJ. Let him sit for a year, learn 840 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:12,040 Speaker 8: under Kirk and then see what we have. 841 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,880 Speaker 2: Thanks Papa Taco. Sling them tenders. I don't know if 842 00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:20,359 Speaker 2: you you probably don't notice this, Brett, because I'm what's 843 00:45:20,360 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 2: that I'm reading the transcripts of the of the talkbacks 844 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:24,960 Speaker 2: in front of me. Just got to make sure everything's 845 00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:28,120 Speaker 2: you know, good with the FCC and such. My name 846 00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:33,360 Speaker 2: Tran transcribes to Nardo more often than it transcribes to 847 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 2: Norda Nardo. I kind of like Nardo. Growing up. It 848 00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:43,400 Speaker 2: was you know, kids, uh, kids will be kids. I 849 00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:49,480 Speaker 2: had Nard quest nerd Quist nerd Quest. I mean just 850 00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:54,560 Speaker 2: the they were creative. But Nardo, I like Nardo. I'm 851 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 2: open to that. It's never too you know, it's never 852 00:45:57,080 --> 00:46:01,400 Speaker 2: too late to change me. Yeah, no, can't encourage it. 853 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,320 Speaker 2: Text line sixty four six eighty six. Nords, you should 854 00:46:05,320 --> 00:46:07,759 Speaker 2: have way more confidence in Dallas Turner than you do 855 00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 2: in JJ McCarthy. And I would say that I do 856 00:46:11,400 --> 00:46:13,399 Speaker 2: part of the conversation early in the hour, if you're 857 00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:17,200 Speaker 2: just tuning in, is just kind of the upcoming draft 858 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:20,480 Speaker 2: and how the conversation around what you do with pick eighteen, 859 00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:24,040 Speaker 2: et cetera, really doesn't start until levers are being pulled, 860 00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:28,840 Speaker 2: and whether it's you know, the cap conversation is I 861 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 2: don't want to say it's overblown, forty million over the cap, 862 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:34,319 Speaker 2: but in the same I mean, you can you can 863 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 2: just do restructures and various things that they can get 864 00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:40,040 Speaker 2: you back in black pretty easily. But then then what right, 865 00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:44,600 Speaker 2: and so that has to happen first. But we were 866 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,160 Speaker 2: talking and just kind of looking at Okay, So Jonathan 867 00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:50,399 Speaker 2: Grenard nicked up. When he's fully healthy, he's a game 868 00:46:50,520 --> 00:46:52,959 Speaker 2: changer and was even super productive in the twelve games 869 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,680 Speaker 2: he played, but was a little different this year. The 870 00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,279 Speaker 2: conversation around Jonathan Garnard is as phenomenal at times as 871 00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:02,880 Speaker 2: he has been was he was just a hair away 872 00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:06,439 Speaker 2: from a sack a lot this year, right, so maybe 873 00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:09,520 Speaker 2: not necessarily as splash. He's still very productive. But then 874 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 2: Andrew van Ginkel missing those games that he missed neck 875 00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:14,160 Speaker 2: injury in the past and nicked up this year, just 876 00:47:14,160 --> 00:47:18,120 Speaker 2: trying to take things the precautionary route in relation to 877 00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,680 Speaker 2: his health. Appreciate that, but at this stage of his career, 878 00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,000 Speaker 2: do we worry about the idea will there be missed games? 879 00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:29,080 Speaker 2: So you think about depth Dallas Turner into his third year. 880 00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,480 Speaker 2: I have confidence that Dallas Turner belongs and I have 881 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:37,160 Speaker 2: confidence that Dallas Turner can be productive, but that still 882 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:40,080 Speaker 2: doesn't take the idea potentially in the draft, if it 883 00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:44,239 Speaker 2: is a best player available operation that if there's an edge. 884 00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:47,120 Speaker 2: If there's an edge rusher there at pick eighteen, I'm 885 00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 2: just not against it. But to your point in the text, yes, 886 00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,640 Speaker 2: I think most people do. I was trying to find it. 887 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:56,440 Speaker 2: I got more talkbacks here. It's a talker Tuesday, Thank 888 00:47:56,480 --> 00:47:59,640 Speaker 2: you Northern Fire. But let me see here. Oh yeah, 889 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:00,920 Speaker 2: here we go. I love this one. 890 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,719 Speaker 9: JJ McCarthy. Couldn't beat a wet paper bag at a quarterback. 891 00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:11,240 Speaker 9: If I'm the Vicons this year, I think I'm going 892 00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:18,640 Speaker 9: with Coward Murray at quarterback. No, that don't sound great, 893 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:23,240 Speaker 9: but there's not a lot of great options, either Murray 894 00:48:23,360 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 9: or Rogers. But I think Rogers has gotten a little 895 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:29,320 Speaker 9: too all. I'm go with Murray. 896 00:48:29,560 --> 00:48:29,840 Speaker 8: Murray. 897 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:35,279 Speaker 2: It is couldn't beat out a wet paper bag. Were 898 00:48:35,280 --> 00:48:39,320 Speaker 2: you expecting that accent when you read the transcript? 899 00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: No? 900 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:42,000 Speaker 2: But I love it. Yeah, and I appreciate it great. 901 00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,680 Speaker 2: There's no doubt about it. Wet paper bag. Yes, confidence 902 00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:50,400 Speaker 2: low at the QB spot. But again, wide spectrum is it? 903 00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,240 Speaker 2: Is it the Kirk o chains? Is that the idea 904 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,759 Speaker 2: Kirk Kirk's only going somewhere and we know about you 905 00:48:56,800 --> 00:48:59,480 Speaker 2: know he's going to be if he's released by the Falcons. 906 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 2: They toll owe him a bunch of cash, Similarly to 907 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,719 Speaker 2: the Russell Wilson situation where he was able to go 908 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:07,560 Speaker 2: and get very small change from the Pittsburgh Steelers two 909 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:11,480 Speaker 2: years ago because the Broncos owed him a ton of money. Similarly, 910 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:15,360 Speaker 2: Kirk can go somewhere else for an incredibly cheap dollar, 911 00:49:16,440 --> 00:49:18,919 Speaker 2: but he's going to want to start. So if Kirk 912 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:21,880 Speaker 2: comes here it would be I think that was popa Taco. 913 00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,399 Speaker 2: It will be in a starting role. He's not going 914 00:49:25,440 --> 00:49:28,040 Speaker 2: to roll in somewhere and hold on here. I got 915 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,120 Speaker 2: to compete, I don't think. So that's the vibe I 916 00:49:32,160 --> 00:49:34,400 Speaker 2: get with Kirk. So would you be okay with that? 917 00:49:35,080 --> 00:49:37,359 Speaker 2: The wide spectrum of what they can do and what 918 00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:42,720 Speaker 2: that implies for the future of nine Let's go to Milan. 919 00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 2: We'll get back to football, big open segment middle of 920 00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,960 Speaker 2: the ten am hour. A couple of things to dive 921 00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:52,080 Speaker 2: into there. But Parker Fox in Milan. He's been our 922 00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,880 Speaker 2: official slash unofficial Olympics correspondent following women's hockey en route 923 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:59,120 Speaker 2: to I mean, this domination that they're putting on the 924 00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,640 Speaker 2: ice right now is on believable and it's us and 925 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:03,960 Speaker 2: Canada for gold in a couple of days.
