1
00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: Edwards will dribble into a three noo at the buzzer

2
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: and Chicago rallies from down six with just over four

3
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: minutes left to play. They outscore the Timberwolves down the stretch.

4
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 2: Sixteen to five.

5
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:27,040
Speaker 1: Chicago makes it three straight wins, five victories in their

6
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: last seven games, and the Wolves for just the second

7
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: time in the last four seasons having four game losing streak.

8
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: Stop.

9
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 4: It's a lot of crickets joining us now, a lot

10
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 4: of LS four consecutive joining us now. Is a Johnny

11
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 4: Athletic John Krazinski with the Athletic and Theathletic dot Com,

12
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 4: John Paul Allen, Alex Lewis mad producer here that fourth

13
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: quarter last night, Wolves going to thirteen to oher run

14
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: and the Bulls hit us with like a fifteen to

15
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 4: three to win the game. What did you think of

16
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 4: the finish? And some problems with it? And a good morning?

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, good morning. Did you guys have a little slumber

18
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 5: party last night? You went to the game? Right?

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,919
Speaker 4: Yes, we were in an iHeart suite with our friends

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: from Steve's Appliances and our boss here Lonnie off your

21
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: right shoulder. But things became like I always text you

22
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 4: when I'm at the game, and then we wave and stuff,

23
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 4: but things started to get so hectic late I didn't

24
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: want to jump in your mix.

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: But yeah, we were both there.

26
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 5: Very nice, very nice. Well yeah, yeah, Pa was pretty disappointing.

27
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 6: Again.

28
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 5: They seemed to be in a real funk right now.

29
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: My biggest issue from last night was not that, you know,

30
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 5: Ant had a really hard time shooting the basketball, and

31
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 5: that's not something that we've seen a lot this year.

32
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 5: But I thought the bigger issues or defensively, both Edwards

33
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 5: and Julius Randall had some just major defensive breakdowns down

34
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: the stretch. Julius Randall losing Patrick Williams back door and

35
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 5: giving up an easy bucket that way, Anthony Edwards not

36
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 5: closing out to Kobe White on a wide open corner three.

37
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 5: And those are kind of just mental errors from your

38
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: two biggest stars that you can't have in those situations

39
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 5: down the stretch, when you've already lost three in a row,

40
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 5: when you're trying to grind out a win, when you're

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 5: trying to get back in on the good side of

42
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 5: things and get feeling right again, and to have your

43
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 5: two main guys with those kinds of mental errors. Was

44
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: just really disappointing. It just can't happen if you want

45
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 5: to win games right now.

46
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 4: And the producer of Bumper to Bumper, Houstinamo's Guard Our

47
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 4: Mutual Friend quote tweeted something with Finci's press conference after

48
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 4: the game and Chris Finch on what went wrong with

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 4: the defense and the loss of the Bulls quote are

50
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 4: ability to contain drives right now is really hurting us?

51
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: So on and so on. Hey, it was right in

52
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 4: front of you too, right out of the gate. All

53
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 4: right now it's called and you know you still got

54
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 4: three quarters and three quarters of a quarter to go

55
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 4: in the game. But Josh Getty set up Jaden McDaniels

56
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 4: and beat him off the dribble. I mean he set

57
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 4: him up nicely and just went right around him like

58
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 4: he was tied to a post.

59
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 6: I mean. So it was like from that moment on

60
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 6: for the rest of the game, they were having trouble

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 6: with the dribble drive, weren't they.

62
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, they really were. They haven't been locked in. They

63
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 5: would really struggle with that against Utah as well. I mean,

64
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 5: when you give up defensive penetration like that, and especially

65
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 5: to a Bulls team, that their whole offense is driving,

66
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 5: kick like, get into the paint, kickouts to the corner,

67
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 5: shoot threes like they are a good three point shooting team.

68
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: They have some quick guards, so it's not an easy

69
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: thing we're asking them to do. But this is a

70
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: team that is five hundred that you have at home

71
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 5: that again, when you've lost three in a row, everything

72
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 5: needs to be heightened, the urgency of the intensity, the

73
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 5: attention to detail, all of those things. And it just

74
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: didn't feel like that this was the exact same script

75
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 5: pa as the Utah loss, where you know, the Wolves

76
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 5: come out, they're up fourteen early, and then they just

77
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 5: kind of relaxed, and I think like one of their

78
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 5: big biggest issues right now is they have this sort

79
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 5: of arrogance about them, especially against these teams that are

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 5: not high up in the standings, that once you get

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 5: on top of someone like that, that they're just gonna

82
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 5: fold and rather than put their foot on their throats

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: and keep the pressure on, they do they just come up,

84
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 5: They take their foot out the gas and they let

85
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 5: the team, the teams back into it, they get comfortable

86
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 5: and then they're in a meat grinder late and that's

87
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 5: just a really risky proposition in this league because you

88
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: always have guys that can make shots, and so if

89
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 5: you're not on top of it, you're gonna lose games

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 5: like that. And that's just where they are right now.

91
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 5: It just seems like they are not and Jewish Randall

92
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: said it after the game. Nas Reed said it after

93
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 5: the game. They're just not executing the game plans and

94
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: doing the things that these coaches are telling them at

95
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 5: a high enough level, and it's really hurting them.

96
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 6: John, thanks for hopping on. Good to catch up. Obviously.

97
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 6: I do wonder like for you as you cover this

98
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 6: team this season specifically, like how hard has it been

99
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 6: to feel like you have the pulse of what they

100
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 6: are at any given point? Because it does feel like

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 6: they have these sequences of games where you start to

102
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 6: really believe in what they could be, and then you

103
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 6: have the recent sequence of games that make you question

104
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 6: probably what you started to believe. So just for you,

105
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 6: how difficult has it been to try to feel like

106
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 6: you have a finite pulse on what they are at

107
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 6: any given point.

108
00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's been up and down, for sure, Alec. I

109
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 5: mean I just remember a week ago I was in

110
00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 5: Milwaukee at that game where they don't have Rudy, they

111
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 5: don't have Anthony Edwards, and they just stomp the Bucks

112
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 5: and that. And they had approved i think seventeen and

113
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 5: six sense Thanksgiving and they were rolling and you're thinking, Okay,

114
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 5: when things are coming together now and they're really figuring

115
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 5: things out. Even in Houston, even in San Antonio, those

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 5: really tough losses down the stretch, they still played well

117
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 5: for the most part, and you're like, Okay, yeah, you

118
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 5: know that's going to happen every once in a while.

119
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 5: This is still a good team. But then yeah, then

120
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 5: they have, you know, the the Utah loss, they have,

121
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 5: the Chicago loss last night you've seen earlier in the year,

122
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 5: and some ugly losses like Brooklyn and Atlanta. There have

123
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 5: been times that it just does kind of shake the

124
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 5: clarity that that I thought I had in this team.

125
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: That said, I know that a lot of Wolves fans

126
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 5: are down in the dumps right now and are kind

127
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 5: of panicking, and I understand it. But one thing, like

128
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: covering the league as long as I have, this is

129
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 5: a really really long season, and teams go through these stretches,

130
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 5: almost every single one of them does, and I do

131
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 5: think this is still a really good team. I do

132
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 5: think it's a well coached team, and I do think

133
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 5: at the end of the day they'll kind of emerge

134
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: and figure things out and get into the playoffs. But

135
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 5: games like last night, games like in Utah do make

136
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: you wonder about the overall ceiling of this group and

137
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 5: how far they can really go.

138
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 7: I totally agree with you a super well coached operation,

139
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 7: But when you're mentioning these spells where whether earlier in

140
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 7: the season kind of the talker of I mean, are

141
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 7: they just kind of getting bored on a Wednesday night

142
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 7: home game that sort of thing, and then what we've

143
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 7: seen in recent games for in a row on the

144
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 7: l side, how much can Finch affect this Because I

145
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 7: think about it, like Finch has talked about Anthony has

146
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 7: talked about like that super close, deep relationship they have,

147
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 7: which I absolutely love and I love Finch, I love

148
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 7: ann But you also can kind of see, okay, head

149
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 7: coach takes deep star player struggles with texts and technical

150
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 7: fouls and on court related negative banter with refs, like

151
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 7: is there anything Finch can do just at a ten

152
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 7: thousand foot view level that can stem this tie? Because

153
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 7: in the end, this is a playoff team, this is

154
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 7: a team that's been to two Western Conference finals. We

155
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 7: know all that, But is there anything that Finch can

156
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 7: do culturally or vocally at some point that maybe shakes

157
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 7: these guys out of it a bit and starts taking

158
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 7: these five hundred squads more seriously?

159
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:35,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I do think Finch has some accountability

160
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,880
Speaker 5: in this foreshore, when you look at kind of the

161
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 5: consistent whatever you want to call it, consistent character flaw

162
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: of this team that you take some of these lighter

163
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 5: teams lightly and you get yourself in trouble and you

164
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 5: lose some of these games. I think they're seventeen and

165
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 5: five or seventeen and six against teams under five hundred

166
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 5: this year, so they're still really good, but the losses

167
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,920
Speaker 5: are really ugly, and I do and less. I think

168
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 5: for me, Norda, when I look at Chris Finch, it

169
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 5: is for me less about the culture part of it,

170
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 5: because there have been several times this season where he

171
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 5: has really lit into the guys after ugly losses or

172
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: after big mistakes on film, and and really you know,

173
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 5: he's trying to hold them accountable, and largely I think

174
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 5: has done it a good job of that. What it

175
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 5: feels like lately right now is that I think he's

176
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 5: having a harder time with the rotations and finding the

177
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,400
Speaker 5: right combinations. I think unfortunately right now, he's leaning a

178
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 5: little too much on Mike Conley, and Mike is really

179
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 5: struggling with this role, you know, at this age, and

180
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 5: I think Finch wants him out there for his basketball

181
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 5: and i Q and his ability to kind of organize things,

182
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 5: but it's just not working out very well. In fairness

183
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 5: to Chris Finch, he doesn't have a whole lot of

184
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 5: options that that body of his bone t Island is

185
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 5: struggling rob billing Amazon in the rotation, you know. So

186
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 5: so it feels like Finch has to like try and

187
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:12,719
Speaker 5: recircle the wagons with his coaching staff and find some

188
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 5: other buttons to push with lineup combinations that will click

189
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 5: in a little bit better because I think he's searching

190
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 5: right now, and you Tom particular was not a good

191
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: game from that way last night. I think it was

192
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 5: more about his biggest stars and and their and their issues.

193
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 5: But but Chris Finch has to kind of figure things

194
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 5: out and push some different buttons right.

195
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: Now, as has the bones Highland trick hit its expiration date.

196
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 5: I don't know if I want if I'll say that, Pa,

197
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,560
Speaker 5: but he certainly is a streaky player, and you know,

198
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 5: in Milwaukee he was amazing. I think he had twenty

199
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 5: three points, he was a plus forty one, and he

200
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,959
Speaker 5: had been playing very very well prior to that game,

201
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 5: even when he wasn't scoring big. You could see every

202
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 5: game he was plus eight, plus ten, plus twelve in

203
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 5: the plus by side, and so he was affecting games

204
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:11,439
Speaker 5: at a high level. But a player like that, over

205
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 5: his history has shown that he's going to have these

206
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 5: lulls as well, and he's in one right now. He

207
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: can't hit a shot to save his life. And that's

208
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 5: why I do think, PA, that it's going to be

209
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 5: incumbent upon Tim Connolly to go out and make a

210
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 5: trade for a player, a bench scoring type player that

211
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 5: gives you insurance for when Bones is not kind of

212
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: at his best. Right now, in these last few games,

213
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 5: the only bench scoring the Wolves are getting this from Nasrit.

214
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 5: If they don't get twenty three to twenty five from him,

215
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 5: they're in trouble, and so they need someone else who

216
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 5: can come off the bench give you ten or twelve

217
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: points and really kind of stem the tide when when

218
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 5: some of the starters are resting. I think that's the

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 5: biggest need on this team right now.

220
00:11:57,920 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe Kobe w I shot six of sixteen and

221
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 4: missed two free throws because he was nervous playing against

222
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 4: what could be his next team.

223
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: What do you think of that, Johnny Kay?

224
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think he was really trying to

225
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 5: put on a good impression for the new fans. And yeah,

226
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 5: he did get over his skis a little bit and

227
00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 5: was a little nervous. He wanted it so bad, but

228
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 5: he did hit that big corner three PA. And that's

229
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 5: exactly what of this team needs is someone who is

230
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 5: a real threat from the perimeter, but also Kobe can

231
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: put the ball on the floor, can get to the basket,

232
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 5: can do a lot of good things that way. The

233
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 5: Bulls have a couple of guys that I wouldn't mind

234
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 5: on this team. Kobe White, iod de Soon Move, even

235
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 5: Trey Jones. Those guys. You know, anyone who can handle it,

236
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 5: who can get to the rim a little bit and

237
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: just give them some consistency, would be a really welcome

238
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:55,199
Speaker 5: edition at this point.

239
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 4: It speaking of the Bulls and the Perimeter Johnny Athletic,

240
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 4: John Grazinski, The Athletic, Theathletic dot Com. Can we officially

241
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: dub Isaaca Korro lou dort one a and in that

242
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: he absolutely man was up in Anthony Edwards mix last

243
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 4: night with that defense and this side of lou dort

244
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 4: Not many people do that to Anthony.

245
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: You're right, Yeah, it was a really good performance from

246
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 5: a Koro last night. I mean, he is one of

247
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,480
Speaker 5: those guys who, if you're going to have success against Ant,

248
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 5: you have to be big and physical and not let

249
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 5: Ant bully you. And I think that's what a Choro did.

250
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 5: I mean, he did a really good job of kind

251
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: of moving Anthony Apfa's spots. Like Ant didn't get to

252
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 5: the rim very easily. There's been a lot of times

253
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 5: this season when it hasn't been going particularly well and

254
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: Ant will back the guy down in the post and

255
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:53,080
Speaker 5: just manhandle him that way that wasn't really available to

256
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 5: him as well. Or Koro did a good job of

257
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 5: taking that away, and so I thought it was really

258
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: impressive what he did defensively. And then you know, as

259
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,080
Speaker 5: the game went along, it also seemed like the offense

260
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: really did kind of lose a lot of its rhythm,

261
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 5: you know, and said it after the game that he

262
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,199
Speaker 5: had fouled trouble early and that kind of took him

263
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 5: out of his normal rotations and kind of just made

264
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 5: him feel a little bit off. But I think a

265
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 5: Coro deserves some credit for that as well, in terms

266
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 5: of just not making him, not letting him feel comfortable

267
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 5: in the game at any point. You know, it's been

268
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 5: very very few times this seasons where Ant's been one

269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 5: for eight from three, like it just you know, it

270
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 5: just was not clicking form last night, and the foul

271
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: trouble and Isaaca Caro, I think all both had something

272
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 5: to do with that.

273
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 6: John me being the beacon of positivity. I want to

274
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 6: ask you about Baron Jay. Yeah, I didn't watch him

275
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 6: closely closely last night, but I personally at least did

276
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 6: not expect the nineteen year old to be as in

277
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 6: the mix as he's been. What have you thought of

278
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 6: the job that he's done and just what he's been

279
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 6: able to do at such a young age, obviously establishing

280
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 6: enough trust that he is playing in the rotation with

281
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 6: this team right now.

282
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like it's spend super impressive how quickly he is

283
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 5: coming along when you watch him in practice, even when

284
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 5: he gets some run. He only had three minutes last night,

285
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: but he's gotten extended run a few other times this season.

286
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 5: He just plays with a bounce in his step that

287
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 5: I think that this team needs right now. They're in

288
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: the dog days of the season and they're kind of

289
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 5: low energy, but Baron Jay is super high energy. He

290
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 5: has great instincts in terms of shot blocking, in terms

291
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 5: of when to protect the rim and when to kind

292
00:15:46,120 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: of stay on his feet and not elevate. He has

293
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 5: also just a smoothness about his offensive game that is

294
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: really unique for a player his size and his age.

295
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 5: I mean, he moves very fluidly, he catches the ball

296
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 5: in traffic, he can elevate and throw down lob passes

297
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 5: at the rim. He's a weapon already, and I can

298
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 5: tell you that when you talk to coaches and executives

299
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 5: in the organization and just ask him about Yoan, their

300
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 5: eyes light up in a way that is uncommon for

301
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 5: players of his aide and especially for players picked nineteenth. Overall,

302
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 5: there is an enthusiasm about what he can become that

303
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 5: is kind of off the charts. I'm not this is

304
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 5: not hyperbole. They think he can be a force in

305
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 5: this league, you know, as he kind of grows into

306
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 5: his body as he figures things out. They just love

307
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 5: him to death. And so the challenge is trying to

308
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 5: find some minutes for him on a team with Jus Vandal,

309
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 5: Rudy Gobert and nas Reed. But he is wedging his

310
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 5: way into the rotation in a way that very few

311
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 5: rookies do for Chris Finch, and so that's really promising.

312
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 7: Hey, Johnny, you mentioned it is incumbent upon mister Connolly

313
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 7: that we add something into the mix, and I guess

314
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 7: it's incumbent upon him. How likely is it that we

315
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 7: do indeed see a transaction between now and I believe

316
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 7: early February when the trade deadline hits Johnny, Hey, Johnny, Johnny,

317
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 7: mister Krazinski.

318
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: He got to call the trade deadline. Guess that's the problem.

319
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 2: You might have Little Duffy's on the phone. Hang on,

320
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: give me a couple of seconds. We might be good.

321
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 4: Or maybe we should call him back and get some

322
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 4: of these amazingly pertinent questions out of the way, Like

323
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 4: I wonder whether we're so oft at times. Last night,

324
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 4: de Vincenzo with an airball on a three. Jalen Clark

325
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 4: had a corner three and hit the side of the backboard.

326
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 4: Baron j played three minutes last night.

327
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, he didn't play a lot, right, but he I

328
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 6: John said it right there, and I do think it's

329
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 6: notable Vinch with Fitch, with young players. It's it's I mean,

330
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 6: it hasn't been much of a theme so to see

331
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 6: Baron Jay. That's why I want to ask John Nordo,

332
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 6: what were you asking?

333
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 2: Hi, Johnny? How you doing Johnny? Hey guys, okay, Hey,

334
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 2: welcome back.

335
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 7: First of all, we thought the reason that the call

336
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 7: dropped is because I asked you the likelihood what I mean,

337
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 7: as difficult as it can be to make a transaction

338
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 7: to make everything fit, We got salary match and all

339
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,920
Speaker 7: those things involved. A couple of weeks ago from mister

340
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 7: Connelly said it's incumbent upon him. How likely are we

341
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 7: to see a transaction between now and the deadline for

342
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 7: the Howl?

343
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, I do think, if I'm handicapping it right now Nordo,

344
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: that I think it's much more likely that a deal

345
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 5: happens than doesn't. They have been looking at all sorts

346
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 5: of different options, of course, you know, a lot of

347
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 5: fans are asking about Jahn Morant or or LaMelo Ball

348
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 5: or things like that. I don't see a major move

349
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 5: like that happening just because of the money from the fit,

350
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 5: like all sorts of different things that you have to consider.

351
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 5: But I do think that Kim Con is one of

352
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 5: the most aggressive gms in the league. He has been

353
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 5: since he arrived here in Minnesota, and they have been

354
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 5: combing the league looking for options to kind of give

355
00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 5: them a little bit more depth and and so I

356
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 5: do think that sometime in the next two weeks before

357
00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 5: the February fifth deadline, they will pull the trigger on

358
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 5: some type of a deal to give them another body,

359
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 5: because right now they're playing six six and a half

360
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 5: guys that they can really rely on, and I think

361
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 5: getting another veteran in here to add to that would

362
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 5: be really really helpful.

363
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,959
Speaker 4: Well, the low hanging fruit names, the big names like

364
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 4: you mentioned LaMelo Ball and John Moran. Personally speaking, I

365
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 4: wouldn't be interested in either one, would you.

366
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:48,439
Speaker 2: Wow?

367
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:50,920
Speaker 5: No, I agree with you. You know, I just think

368
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 5: that I think that the fit with Moran and Ant

369
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 5: I don't think is very is great. And you wonder

370
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 5: about Jazz kind of goal capabilities at this point and

371
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 5: things like that. LaMelo you know, really big numbers all

372
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,359
Speaker 5: the time, but you just wonder how seriously he takes

373
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 5: the game right, and so I, yeah, I would think

374
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 5: that I don't think they need an overhaul like that.

375
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:17,280
Speaker 5: I really like their starting five PA I think that

376
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 5: that group plays well together. I just think that they

377
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 5: need a little more firepower off the bench, and then

378
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 5: when you have that, I really think, you know, as

379
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,680
Speaker 5: frustrating as these last few games have been, I think

380
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,880
Speaker 5: that they could get into a series against most anyone

381
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,679
Speaker 5: in the West and really challenge them. So they just

382
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 5: need a little tweaking, it feels like, and not an overhaul,

383
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 5: And I think that's probably the you know, the very

384
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,560
Speaker 5: most likely scenario that happens here over the next couple

385
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 5: of weeks.

386
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 4: LaMelo Ball is one of the hardest players on a

387
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 4: nightly basis to watch. He's just difficult to watch the

388
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 4: way he plays. And if it's a back to back

389
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 4: because either it's a wrist or it's an ankle, or

390
00:20:57,320 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 4: it's a hip or it's a knee, they don't start

391
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 4: one night playing twenty and Jane starting the next night

392
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 4: play him high twenties and and from the from the

393
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 4: lase a fair standpoint, I would completely agree with you.

394
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 2: It's John now too. What what do you think of

395
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,119
Speaker 2: this name? To close?

396
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 4: Because Jalen Green just came back with the Phoenix Suns.

397
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 4: You think they'd have any interest in that little guy

398
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: the point guard Colin Gillespie.

399
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600
Speaker 5: You know, someone like that wouldn't be a bad addition.

400
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 5: I don't think you know, you throw in like a TJ.

401
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 5: McConnell and in Indiana like that as well. I love

402
00:21:31,720 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 5: some kind of an organizer would be helpful. I would

403
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 5: take a look at those guys, I think, Pa though,

404
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 5: that what one thing that you think about in with

405
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: that situation. Yes, they would be helpful during the game,

406
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 5: for sure, But at the end of the game, uh,

407
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 5: the balls in Anthony Edwards Hans and he's the point

408
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 5: guard late and so would he help you, you know,

409
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,719
Speaker 5: late in games? I'm not sure about that, but just

410
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,080
Speaker 5: having another body that could get you to those final

411
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 5: five or six minutes in hopefully better shape. I think

412
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: Colin Gillespie has been great. I don't know that Phoenix

413
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,159
Speaker 5: will let him go, but that's certainly a name that

414
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 5: would pique my interest if he were to become available.

415
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, enjoy your weekend, my brother, Thanks for the time.

416
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:19,720

00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 6: about tickets, it would be the Chris Stapleton concert.

455
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: When is that this summer? Oh? At uh? What's it called?

456
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:18,720
Speaker 2: Shakapy uh?

457
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 4: The Amphitheater, the Amphitheater at the Amphitheater at the racetrack.

458
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, how the hell did I not know that?

459
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:26,160
Speaker 2: I don't know you work here?

460
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 6: We have a schedule for the Yeah, the the the

461
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 6: Amphitheater that's adjacent to where the barns are, where the

462
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 6: horses live.

463
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, I don't know.

464
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 6: Chris stapleson Tennessee Whiskey and Shockaby, How nice is that

465
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 6: gonna be? Maybe Justin Timberlake will show up and share

466
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 6: the stage with him, say something like he did at

467
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 6: the CMA, and that was the bomb. And I didn't

468
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 6: know much about Chris Stapleton until I saw that. I

469
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 6: know a lot about him. But Bob Dylan, though, uh,

470
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 6: if you went thrill seeking in Saint Paul last night,

471
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,359
Speaker 6: well you got paid off.

472
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 8: Snow all over the right side of his equipment. He'll

473
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 8: stay out there, hughes, lugs it ahead, navigates over the

474
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 8: blue line all by himself, will take it back out

475
00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 8: the center, role to a price offer, reattacks, break through

476
00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 8: the slock of price office.

477
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 2: Way. It was just a lead.

478
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 9: Win overtime.

479
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: That Joe o'donald excellent. Cost is good. Yeah, yeah, he's

480
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:24,560
Speaker 2: his quality. I love it.

481
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 4: I love his opponent a goal call to him. The

482
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 4: way he does it, he's thought it out, you can tell,

483
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 4: and that that's cool. But the play, I mean a

484
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 4: hockey play. Of course they have plays, but I mean

485
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 4: a lot of them for non hockey people are hard

486
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 4: to identify, you know, unless you're setting up the neutral

487
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 4: zone trap and you get your four check going here

488
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 4: and their l's are on the other side of the ice,

489
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 4: so get the puck over there.

490
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Stuff like that.

491
00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,959
Speaker 6: But when Quinn Hughes went skating into the neutral zone

492
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 6: and then he came back past the blue line because

493
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 6: he was waiting for ninety seven to circumnavigate eight and

494
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 6: gain speed, and then he gave it to him and

495
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 6: he sniped and won the game. That was fantastic. Did

496
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 6: you see so? Michael Russo of the Athletic after the

497
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 6: game put on Twitter Quinn Hughes four to three assist

498
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 6: game of the season, tying a team record.

499
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: So he's already tied the team record. He's been here

500
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 2: for like a month and a half. That's Quinnesota.

501
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 6: I mean, he is he no that play? I'm like,

502
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 6: where's he going? Why would you cross that blue line

503
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 6: and then come back? Yeah, it was crazy because I

504
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 6: didn't understand that. I didn't either. I thought they went

505
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:38,960
Speaker 6: for a change and then you see you see Caprice

506
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 6: off circle and then come in just like a loose

507
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:44,680
Speaker 6: It's like a freight train, and then he just snaps

508
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 6: it right to the top right corner. I any chance

509
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,399
Speaker 6: I've been I shouldn't say this on the air, but

510
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 6: I was asking, buddies, do you got a FanDuel account?

511
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm trying to hop in and watch this

512
00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 6: team as much as I can.

513
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 2: I really want a FanDuel account to watch.

514
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 6: No a FanDuel you know, TVs North, Sports North, whatever.

515
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 2: Some kind of VPN if you ever need help with that.

516
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 6: Well, what I would I would say is it's been

517
00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,160
Speaker 6: awesome to watch. And what I didn't realize is how

518
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 6: much watching hockey gets elevated when you have on the

519
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 6: top right who's on the ice and how long they've

520
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:24,720
Speaker 6: been on the ice. When they put that little collar

521
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 6: around it, is it game changing? Because well, the part

522
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 6: of it is. Part of it is I'm like, man,

523
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 6: that guy must be tired. But also I'm just waiting

524
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 6: for when it says Hughes Caprice bowlie Eric Sinek Johansen,

525
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 6: So he so no offense to hunt. I mean, I

526
00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 6: think he must be. He's had a great career arc

527
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,880
Speaker 6: I'm sure, but I just can't wait to see when

528
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: the premium guys Tarasenko are on that line.

529
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 2: And that has that.

530
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 6: Has altered the course of observing hockey for me personally.

531
00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 2: So that's what I would say.

532
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: He joined yesterday the day that you weren't here, and

533
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,679
Speaker 4: we talked about Tarasenko early in the equation, and it

534
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 4: turns out, per media report reports, okay, he pulled Tarasenko

535
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 4: to the side a little bit and just talk to

536
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 4: him a little bit about well, he said something. And

537
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 4: you've heard a majority or either done or heard a

538
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: majority of the Hinsey interviews nine to noon, and I

539
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 4: don't think we've ever heard him say anybody has a

540
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 4: lethal shot, right, And he used that descriptor for Tarasenko

541
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,800
Speaker 4: four goals in two games up to last night, and yep,

542
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 4: turns out they had a little conversation and now vlat

543
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 4: big bad Laddie is moving his feet in requisite fashion

544
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 4: and with Tarasenko, I mean, you keep Tarasenko where he

545
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 4: is now, you get these guys back Sam in short,

546
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,479
Speaker 4: Saint Paul Box in the box, May and June.

547
00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, and we've seen this now.

548
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 7: We've just done the one box in the box this year,

549
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 7: but we did a last year and we've gotten to

550
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 7: know Heinz during his tenure here post Dino. He's not

551
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,880
Speaker 7: afraid to pull someone aside and have those on ice conversations,

552
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 7: whether it's us in the perch or anyone anybody else

553
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 7: on the ice at that time.

554
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 6: Including Heartsey. I think that was last year. He got

555
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 6: into Heartsey a little bit and then Ryan was on fire.

556
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 6: He got in, He got into Heartsea.

557
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 7: I think there was a John Merrill conversation at some

558
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:28,360
Speaker 7: point that didn't look particularly comfortable. We saw Vinnie Hennestrosa

559
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 7: having a conversation with the head coach before he was ultimately,

560
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 7: I believe a healthy scratch in that game against Winnipeg

561
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 7: that went the wrong way. I don't know what you'd

562
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 7: you'd like, you don't get into taras Ago like that

563
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,960
Speaker 7: doesn't strike me as like digging in deep ta vladdie.

564
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:47,160
Speaker 2: It's you're pretty damn coming. Have you thought about this?

565
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:51,760
Speaker 7: We need long yeah, long, highly touted, highly tenured career,

566
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 7: but maybe have you considered this? You know it's it's

567
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 7: super Everyone gets handled a little bit differently in the

568
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 7: construct of a team, but getting that consistency because secondary

569
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 7: scoring and we should all appreciate number ninety seven. There's

570
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 7: been a little bit of oh, he stop playing really

571
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 7: like a superstar right now?

572
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 2: What's going on with Carill?

573
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 7: Is it just the line he's on as you're off,

574
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 7: not holding his end of the bargain, all those things,

575
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 7: and he comes up big last night, love it, especially

576
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 7: without Boldie, Alex's favorite player. But on a night by

577
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 7: night basis, if you're getting more of the Tarasenko inclusion,

578
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 7: let's get Johansson back on that run he was doing

579
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 7: earlier this year. Hartman is certainly an ongoing, almost imperpetuity

580
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 7: conversation when it comes to secondary scoring.

581
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 2: With his team.

582
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 7: Whatever Heinze did to light that fire, just nave Lattie

583
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 7: Love you could use you lethal shot though it's certainly

584
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 7: helping Tarasenko.

585
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean I went to Miszoo for college.

586
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, and this was when the Blues were at the

587
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 6: Pinnacle and Tarasenkam used to walk around campus at Missoo

588
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 6: and Columbia and you'd see eight.

589
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: Multiple handfuls of taras Like people loved him. Were owned

590
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 2: a hockey sweater, Absolutely not.

591
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 6: I mean it's just not something that I would It

592
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 6: wouldn't look good on me. It doesn't look right on me.

593
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 6: It's just there's just no question. But but how can

594
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 6: a hockey sweater look bad on anybody? It covers every blemish.

595
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:18,520
Speaker 6: I don't know, it just doesn't. It wouldn't feel like

596
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:21,160
Speaker 6: the right fit. As much as I've enjoyed watching this

597
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 6: team and I and it's not like a joke.

598
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,480
Speaker 2: I really actually enjoy watching the Wild right now.

599
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 6: But Tera Sinko, it's crazy because like for for really

600
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 6: my entire college career, he was like the guy observing it.

601
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: So do you remember other names on that.

602
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:47,920
Speaker 6: Jam David Bechis, Petrangelo, Petraangelo, James Schwartz. They had a fighter,

603
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 6: guy Riley.

604
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: I mean that guy was he was willing to mix

605
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: it up. Huh mix it up with that's it?

606
00:31:58,320 --> 00:31:58,560
Speaker 9: Yeah.

607
00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 6: I used to year ago, like I stayed in Missoo

608
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 6: the summer after my freshman year and they played the

609
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 6: Blackhawks and you had a rights were bad, you had

610
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 6: a lot, Yeah, terrible, got back behind on credits. I knew,

611
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 6: I knew I wanted to be a sports trade. I

612
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 6: wasn't there to play school. I'm like Cardinal Jones, Yeah.

613
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: You sold it to your father, John, Like, the credits

614
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 4: are fifty four the classes are fifty four hundred, Dad,

615
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 4: in the fall, they're only twenty seven hundred in the summer.

616
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 6: The real secret was if you stayed the summer after

617
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 6: your freshman year and you're from out of state, you

618
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 6: got in state tuition for the rest of your college career.

619
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 6: So John, my father, My father, John was quite appreciative

620
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 6: done of what I did for his pockets by staying.

621
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, I spent about fifteen to thirty hours of

622
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 4: my life going back and forth with SeeU Denver about

623
00:32:46,520 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 4: in state tuition, and it went to the I got

624
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 4: an appeal out of it.

625
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 2: It went to the appeal level. Then I took the

626
00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 2: Supreme Court.

627
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I'm like, ma'am, I mean, I know

628
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 4: you're not you can't comment on this, but I'm like,

629
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,160
Speaker 4: if you really think a nineteen year old is requisite

630
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 4: of making that type of income and paying for this school,

631
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 4: I don't even know what to say about that.

632
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,600
Speaker 2: Well, mister Allen, We're sorry, but those are the roles.

633
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, we took it now long.

634
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 6: It's one of the sneaky like benefit missoo, it's one

635
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,320
Speaker 6: of the one like you'll get people from Minnesota going

636
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 6: there because they can stay over the summer. So yeah,

637
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 6: no one really listened to this, probably is locked into

638
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 6: admissions at the University of Missouri.

639
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 2: But all I'm saying is Tarasenko.

640
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 4: Is there're a lot of parents listening right now who

641
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 4: are stuck multiple thousands with stuff like that.

642
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 2: They're taking note of that.

643
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess, like I think my dad said, I

644
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 6: could have gone in state to Alabama would have been

645
00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 6: more expensive than going to Missou with what we.

646
00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 2: Paid, and I got to school.

647
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 6: I got a phenomenal education, which yeah, yeah, I mean

648
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 6: it's better journalism school, not a better journalism. But everything

649
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 6: else was get into Northwestern. I could not get into Northwestern.

650
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 6: I was not a I didn't they didn't take you.

651
00:33:57,000 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 6: I didn't apply. I didn't I didn't even shoot. My

652
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 6: shot was like, you know, Syracuse isn't broadcasting, but as

653
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 6: a journalism too, they've got they've got great writers. Great writers, yeah,

654
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 6: like Toto Rico, I mean so many yeah, High and

655

Speaker 6: Bryan Eagle, no Egle, I mean, they all they're all

656
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 6: Syracuse raised, Yeah, no question, but Missoo was Missoo is great.

657
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 6: So yeah, I parents out there, I would I would

658
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 6: look at it. It'll help your pockets for sure. But Teracinko,

659
00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 6: that was the point. Man bad been in my life

660
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:27,479

Speaker 4: on this please because I heard it elsewhere. But but

675
00:35:05,560 --> 00:35:07,800
Speaker 4: I think because of the cold there were some problems.

676
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 2: Well I want to go to the State hockey tournament, but.

677
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,760
Speaker 4: Like tomorrow it starts to like you know, Jamie Hirsh's

680
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,799
Speaker 4: part of it. Our guy, Parker Fox is part of it.

681
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 6: Alex Staylock is part of it, of course, KG and

682
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,680

Speaker 2: But Hockey Day Minnesota's fun, okay, But the state tournaments

684
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: something I want to do.

685
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 4: The the you said, you started to say something earlier

686
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 4: and we clipped on the Caprice off game winner. Uh,

687
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 4: the the Red Wings, Blue Liner.

688
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 2: What was the mistake he made?

689
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:43,920
Speaker 9: Again?

690
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 2: I don't know anything about.

691
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 6: The scheme, Like I don't know anything about hockey scheme.

692
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 6: I will say this, The processing speed that these guys

693
00:35:57,719 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 6: have to play that game is crazy to me. The

694
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,239
Speaker 6: amount of split seconds decisions, whether you're a goaltender and

695
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 6: you got to decipher the puck, whether you are making

696
00:36:08,680 --> 00:36:12,440
Speaker 6: quick passes, like I would love to put this is

697
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 6: really in the weeds and my my passion, But like,

698
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 6: what is the processing speed of a Quinn Hughes And

699
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 6: how does that compare to the processing speed of like

700
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 6: a safety on the NFL field?

701
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: And and do they compare? Do they contrast? I don't know.

702
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:29,040
Speaker 7: I just wanted just a quick heads up, the Iowa

703
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 7: wild game has not been catched as not thank you

704
00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:32,879
Speaker 7: very much and per.

705
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: Let me see it's just hockey Day m N on X.

706
00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 7: They posted something as a day or two ago that

707
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 7: that all festivities are on his scheduled this weekend.

708
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,399
Speaker 2: So bad.

709
00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 7: So as of now, it's going to be cold as

710
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 7: belief is I think Parker and our guy Halvey are.

711
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 2: Calling one of the games. Potentially that's great.

712
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:53,680
Speaker 7: Now, now we're really shooting from the hip, I believe

713
00:36:53,719 --> 00:36:54,360
Speaker 7: that's happening.

714
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: So is Parker gonna hold up his cell phone on

715
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 4: speaker and have Taylor heis the offer analysis into the microphone.

716
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,319
Speaker 2: Well, that's the thing.

717
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,479
Speaker 7: So typically there might be a six or a seven

718
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:10,040
Speaker 7: second delay on radio because of potential vulgarities. We've got

719
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 7: a dump button, et cetera. Theater of the mine behind

720
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,680
Speaker 7: the scenes. There's going to be a seventy five second

721
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 7: delay for this broadcast because Parker will be face timing Taylor, yeah,

722
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 7: and allowing that buffer to give him the proper retorts.

723
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 7: We got f five here half wall there, Yeah, cheating.

724
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: In backing off all those sorts of things. That's going

725
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 2: to be part of the broadcast.

726
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,799
Speaker 4: What if when Parker Fox does that with the FaceTime

727
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 4: and the speaker audio into the microphone, what if Helvey

728
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 4: falls asleep? I mean, you got to make sure the

729
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 4: play by play guy does not fall asleep because they're

730
00:37:48,640 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 4: like pulling a bit off or whatever.

731
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: We make no guarantees with Rip Van Halvey.

732
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:57,840

745
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:10,759
Speaker 4: He doesn't write the headlines, but the headline Biking free

746
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 4: agency predictions, who stays, who goes?

747
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:19,040
Speaker 2: Where? Will they need help? So I did write that headline,

748
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:19,320
Speaker 2: did you?

749
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 9: Are you right?

750
00:39:19,719 --> 00:39:23,080
Speaker 2: You write the headline to some of them? Damn. Sometimes

751
00:39:23,400 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm only when it's not a bad headline.

752
00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 4: But that's the first time that I think I've ever

753
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,480
Speaker 4: heard of any entity having well you don't have to

754
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 4: deal with space, you know what I'm saying. So they're

755
00:39:36,239 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 4: you know, like like a writer writing the headline. There's

756
00:39:39,640 --> 00:39:42,919
Speaker 4: a recommended amount of characters. Though, oh, I say, well then,

757
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't want to get too deep into

758
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:49,240
Speaker 4: the weeds here and like journalism or or the ap

759
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,480
Speaker 4: style book. But if you wrote that headline, did you

760
00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:57,000
Speaker 4: notice there's a widow? Help helps the widow. It's it's

761
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,719
Speaker 4: hanging there underneath the first two lines. You can't have

762
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 4: like that.

763
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 2: I don't know. They let they let it ride. They don't.

764
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 4: They don't teach stuff like that at Missouri because they

765
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:12,480
Speaker 4: do it Northwestern about avoiding non essential clauses to the

766
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 4: predictions and widows and headlines. So let's start here from

767
00:40:18,200 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 4: a Viking salary cap standpoint, like.

768
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 2: It's not as bad as everyone thinks.

769
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 4: Okay, I can't speak for everyone You're more than welcome

770
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,279
Speaker 4: to tell us all what the reality is. However, what

771
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 4: is it? And like, what do you mean? It's not

772
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 4: as bad as people think.

773
00:40:33,520 --> 00:40:36,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, I mean pretty much.

774
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:39,879
Speaker 6: If you were to look at the places that lay

775
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,560
Speaker 6: out the salary cap situation, like Boake tracks, boat track

776
00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:45,160
Speaker 6: over the cap, you're going to see the Vikings for

777
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 6: twenty twenty six are projected to be forty million over

778
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 6: forty five million, over fifty million over. Some of that

779
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,240
Speaker 6: doesn't include the rollover money that they have from twenty

780
00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 6: twenty five. Some of that does include the potential salary

781
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 6: cap increase that has happened year over year in the

782
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,400
Speaker 6: National Football League because of TV deals, et cetera. And

783
00:41:10,480 --> 00:41:13,759
Speaker 6: then beyond that, there is way there are ways this

784
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,840
Speaker 6: team has to create salary cap space, whether it's roster

785
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 6: cuts of veterans like Javon Hargrave and Ryan Kelly, or

786
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:27,040
Speaker 6: restructures where you're taking cash money and converting it into

787
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 6: or you're really you're converting salary cap into signing bonus money,

788
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:35,719
Speaker 6: which alleviates your cap, and the Vikings can do that

789
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 6: with a lot of players. Whether you're talking justin Jefferson,

790
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 6: Christian Darasaw, Jonathan Gernard, Andrew Van Ginkel, And then there's

791
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 6: also extensions which move money back for potentially a player

792
00:41:48,040 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 6: like Brian O'Neil. So there are a lot of ways

793
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 6: that this team can create cap space. Are they gonna

794
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 6: have anywhere close to the amount that they had last

795
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:56,040
Speaker 6: year or the year before?

796
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 2: Probably not?

797
00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,719
Speaker 6: But are they gonna have enough to be viable with

798
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:01,760
Speaker 6: some free agents?

799
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,280
Speaker 2: I believe they are? Okay?

800
00:42:04,480 --> 00:42:08,920
Speaker 4: So would you would you be able to venture a guess, like,

801
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 4: within eight to ten thousand either way, where where they

802
00:42:14,080 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 4: will be when they start, when they start the festivities,

803
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: eight to ten million, eight to ten.

804
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 6: Million years, Yeah, I'd say, I'd say I would imagine

805
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,360
Speaker 6: they end up being around twenty million under the cap,

806
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 6: over under under the cap by the time free agency begins. Now,

807
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 6: some of the money's gonna have to be allocated to

808
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 6: draft picks and what you're paying there, but i'd say

809
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 6: twenty five million, probably potentially up to thirty million somewhere

810
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 6: around there, where you, again, you're going to be viable

811
00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 6: enough to compete for whether it's a veteran safety, whether

812
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 6: it's I mean, there are other positions you can probably

813
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 6: look at whether it's swing tackle. I mean, there's cornerback,

814
00:42:56,120 --> 00:43:00,680
Speaker 6: depth n safety. You say veterans, they looked at it. Yeah,

815
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:06,120
Speaker 6: there's there's some free agents. No, no, no, he signed

816
00:43:06,160 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 6: a four year deal with Indy. It's gonna be guys

817
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 6: like Eloe Gilman from Baltimore, Guys like Cam Curl from

818
00:43:14,600 --> 00:43:18,319
Speaker 6: the Los Angeles Rams, uh, local guy Tyo Coatto who's

819
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:19,359
Speaker 6: been with the Seahawks.

820
00:43:19,560 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 2: Like, there's some names there.

821
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 4: And I think O'Connell really likes something about Aloe Gilman.

822
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 2: I I don't know that thing.

823
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 6: Aloe is a veteran guy who can play on the

824
00:43:32,239 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 6: back end, and so that's where with this specific defense,

825
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:40,400
Speaker 6: in the event that Harrison Smith is not back, having

826
00:43:40,440 --> 00:43:43,279
Speaker 6: a guy who can man the controls back there, who

827
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:45,680
Speaker 6: has a trust level with Brian Flores, for me, is

828
00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:49,040
Speaker 6: gonna be pretty important. And and the good thing is

829
00:43:49,080 --> 00:43:51,120
Speaker 6: with free agency, there are a bunch of options there.

830
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:54,319
Speaker 6: So that's the spot that I would probably look at.

831
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:56,640
Speaker 6: But I expect them to have enough cash space to

832
00:43:57,040 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 6: be in the market for certain spots and certain guys

833
00:43:59,880 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 6: like that.

834
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 7: And it still feels that way now you mentioned it.

835
00:44:03,440 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 7: In the event that Harrison Smith retires, some people kind

836
00:44:06,440 --> 00:44:09,319
Speaker 7: of reviving and it's like, okay, well we got Flora's back,

837
00:44:09,360 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 7: so that means a gun for higher number two two

838
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,080
Speaker 7: should be back too, right.

839
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,319
Speaker 2: I'm never going to.

840
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,120
Speaker 6: Rule it out with Harrison, because how much I know

841
00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 6: he loves playing the game, he has said, I mean

842
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 6: to publicly, he said to me privately before, like the

843
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 6: there is no nothing in life for him that will

844
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 6: be able to replace the emotions of what it's like

845
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 6: playing on Sunday. And so it's just I'm never going

846
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,080
Speaker 6: to rule it out until I know for sure with Harrison.

847
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,680
Speaker 6: But I mean, for him to come back, you would

848
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,960
Speaker 6: need to establish to him that you have a team

849
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 6: that can win the Super Bowl, and body wise he

850
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:50,400
Speaker 6: would have to feel right to do it. But if

851
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,439
Speaker 6: he's not back, you're losing a real beacon and hub

852
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 6: of communication on the back end. Replacing that would be critical. Nor, No,

853
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,120
Speaker 6: can I marathon this. Yeah, let's go around to the twin. Well,

854
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 6: let's do it.

855
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:03,040
Speaker 2: Let's swing it to the twelve. That's what we do.

856
00:45:03,440 --> 00:45:05,880
Speaker 4: Alec and I spent the evening last night at the

857
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,680
Speaker 4: Wolves game with Jordan and Brian from Steve's Appliances and

858
00:45:08,719 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 4: Steve's Appliances dot com and Brian, one of the owners,

859
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,000
Speaker 4: informed us, if you go to Steve's Appliances dot com

860

Speaker 4: right now takes takes three hundred dollars off of it.

864
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 4: Alec got him to guarantee they'll take four point fifty off.

865
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:47,160
Speaker 4: So go to Steve's Appliances in Mounts View. Say, I

866
00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:50,000
Speaker 4: was listening to nine to noon on KFAM and I

867
00:45:50,040 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 4: want that stainless deal built in dishwasher made by Whirlpool.

868
00:45:54,239 --> 00:45:58,319
Speaker 4: It's six forty nine right now. You can save three

869
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,320
Speaker 4: hundred dollars.

870
00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 6: But because the Alec lewis special, the Alex lewis special.

871
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 4: I always love that one. They might add another one fifty.

872
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 4: That's good work by you.

873
00:46:08,840 --> 00:46:11,239
Speaker 2: The finger I mean, look fingerprint resistant.

874
00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:14,600
Speaker 6: If you can get something like that and and and

875
00:46:14,920 --> 00:46:17,440
Speaker 6: have the amount of savings that you can find, it's critical.

876
00:46:17,520 --> 00:46:19,600
Speaker 6: So uh, Steve, No, it was fun hanging out with them.

877
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:21,920
Speaker 6: They were there Dynamice, they were peppering with vikings.

878
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:24,680
Speaker 4: Questions, have you ever been asked more about Jimmy Garoppolo

879
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:25,280
Speaker 4: in your life.

880
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:29,239
Speaker 6: There were a lot of Jimmy Garoppolo questions. Yeah, I

881
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 6: mean I don't, I don't nice cheekbones. I mean, yeah,

882
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 6: he was a starter in the league. He's been a

883
00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,600
Speaker 6: backup in the Mcvavery smart guy, smart guy.

884
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: All right.

885
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 4: So the story at the Athletic with the free agency stuff,

886
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 4: and you know this, when when when Alec or anybody

887
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 4: else who covers teams does stuff like this in late January,

888
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:55,319
Speaker 4: Well there's an opportunity to change the predictions and it's

889
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:56,560
Speaker 4: completely permissible.

890
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,800
Speaker 2: Why because the combine is a month away.

891
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 4: And that's that's I mean, that's steam central for scribes.

892
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,960
Speaker 4: When it comes to agents and personnel, people get a

893
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 4: little loose and you know, kind of a sharing what

894
00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:12,880
Speaker 4: you know, what could be coming up for NFL teams.

895
00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:16,240
Speaker 4: So I'm not saying any of your predictions here will change.

896
00:47:16,280 --> 00:47:19,760
Speaker 4: But let's begin with Eric Wilson. And with Eric Wilson

897
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 4: for the Minnesota Vikings last year, Alex starts by riding.

898
00:47:25,160 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 4: It's hard to overstate how impressive Wilson was this season.

899
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:31,240
Speaker 4: Only once in his career he played more than fifty

900
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,160
Speaker 4: percent of the team's defensive snaps. I mean that that's

901
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:38,360
Speaker 4: a key number there, But it is also fair to

902
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,720
Speaker 4: wonder was that the wedding.

903
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: And what's coming up is the funeral.

904
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 4: Wilson, I just wanted to say that the prediction is

905
00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 4: that he re signs. He's had a series of one

906
00:47:52,160 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 4: year deals all of his career. I mean, his signing

907
00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:57,800
Speaker 4: bonus when he came into the National Football League was

908
00:47:57,840 --> 00:48:00,719
Speaker 4: ten thousand dollars ten thousand dollars sign bonus in like

909
00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen. Eric's done very well for himself. What do

910
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 4: you envision I mean, do you envision it if I'm

911
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,680
Speaker 4: Eric Wilson and or his representation of what I just did,

912
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:13,840
Speaker 4: I need a two year deal? Well, I mean Brian

913
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,879
Speaker 4: Floor has loved having him here. He made that abundantly

914
00:48:16,920 --> 00:48:18,040
Speaker 4: clear in.

915
00:48:18,040 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 6: Press conferences, he made that abundantly clear to.

916
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: Some of the announcers in production meetings.

917
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,960
Speaker 6: I mean, Brian Floor has really trusted Eric Wilson.

918
00:48:27,960 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: To be able to do.

919
00:48:30,719 --> 00:48:32,960
Speaker 6: What he wants those off ball linebackers to do, and

920
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:35,560
Speaker 6: that's blitz, that's playing coverage in space.

921
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,520
Speaker 2: And then Eric Wilson just rocks out in the locker room.

922
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:41,040
Speaker 2: So yeah, if.

923
00:48:40,920 --> 00:48:45,600
Speaker 6: I'm his representation, taking it probably to free agency seeing

924
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:47,120
Speaker 6: what's going to be possible, and there are a lot

925
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 6: of teams that will probably be in the market. But

926
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 6: for a guy his age, a two year deal with

927
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:58,080
Speaker 6: some guarantees maybe into the second year, but probably not

928
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,439
Speaker 6: a lot of them makes sense for me. I don't

929
00:49:00,440 --> 00:49:04,200
Speaker 6: know what the number ultimately will be like, but for

930
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:08,040
Speaker 6: this team to make the playoffs in twenty twenty six

931
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:11,399
Speaker 6: and be capable of winning a playoff game in twenty

932
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 6: twenty six, you're going to need the defense to continue

933
00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 6: to be the rock of the team, and a key

934
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 6: part of the defense is on that second level. So

935
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:21,000
Speaker 6: it's hard for me to think that Eric Wilson wouldn't

936
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:23,600
Speaker 6: be back unless the number just becomes astronomical.

937
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:28,040
Speaker 4: Your prediction is he re signs with the Vikings. What

938
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:30,560
Speaker 4: do you think the chances are you stick with that

939
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 4: all the way up to free agency.

940
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 6: I think pretty solid unless again, the number, like let's

941
00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:39,440
Speaker 6: say there's a team like Tampa Bay or a team

942
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:42,879
Speaker 6: other teams across the league that needs second level help

943
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 6: that really like what he can bring and are willing

944
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 6: to pay.

945
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:49,839
Speaker 4: Him, or maybe Green Bay. I mean Isaiah McDuffie's about

946
00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 4: to catch astray here. But they had a decision to make,

947
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 4: from what I understand is do we stick with McDuffie

948
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 4: or do we roll with Wilson? So Qwace rolls in

949
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,319
Speaker 4: and he's like, he's in one three here, we're going

950
00:50:01,360 --> 00:50:04,160
Speaker 4: to double that, but you need to come now, and

951
00:50:04,239 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 4: he came here, so and and Wilson had a markedly

952
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,400
Speaker 4: better season than Isaiah McDuffie.

953
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 6: Yeah, but nobody in the Vikings building believed that Eric

954
00:50:13,760 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 6: Wilson was going to be able to do what he

955
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 6: did defensively.

956
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,520
Speaker 2: Nobody, it was not an expectation.

957
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 6: And initially Ivan Pace was playing the off ball linebacker snaps. Well,

958
00:50:23,360 --> 00:50:25,919
Speaker 6: then how do you double? How do you double somebody's pay?

959
00:50:26,080 --> 00:50:29,480
Speaker 6: Special teams? Special teams. Eric Wilson was supposed to be

960
00:50:29,480 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 6: a key contributor and a and a capable backup, and

961
00:50:34,120 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 6: he ultimately ascended to a full time starter defensively and

962
00:50:37,280 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 6: a key cog.

963
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 2: In the defense.

964
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:42,440
Speaker 6: But even Brian Flores and the defensive staff did not

965
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:44,720
Speaker 6: expect that to become what it became.

966
00:50:44,840 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 4: Well, I do believe you're short changing one person who

967
00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 4: who who was casting their gaze the way of the

968
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:55,480
Speaker 4: upcoming season and completely saw what was going to transpire

969
00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 4: free agency.

970
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:09,759
Speaker 3: Ever Bridge and Nevers.

971
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:11,520
Speaker 4: All right, Hitman's next prediction from Alec as he retires,

972
00:51:11,719 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 4: then you get to jail and Nailor. For years, the

973
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 4: Vikings have communicated their confidence and Nailer e validated the

974
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,759
Speaker 4: belief in twenty twenty five. Not only did he play

975
00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:23,160
Speaker 4: in all seventeen games after a broken hand affected him

976
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:26,920
Speaker 4: a training camp, but also he dropped only.

977
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 2: One Wow, he only dropped one pass.

978
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,920
Speaker 4: Naylor knows all of the positions Ko's complex offensive system,

979
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:39,879
Speaker 4: and the prediction with Nailor is he departs via free agency.

980
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,320
Speaker 2: That's controversial. I don't think is that controversial.

981
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 6: I mean, he's his rookie contract has run out.

982
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 2: He's one of.

983
00:51:48,200 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 6: The very few late round picks that have been drafted

984
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 6: since twenty twenty two have developed into a starter that

985
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:00,960
Speaker 6: can be trusted. And you know, as long as Justin

986
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:04,400
Speaker 6: Jefferson and Jordan Addison are here, it's hard to believe

987
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,440
Speaker 6: that he would be a one or two option, whereas

988
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,520
Speaker 6: if he signs elsewhere, he could potentially be that.

989
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:11,400
Speaker 2: And I know, having.

990
00:52:11,200 --> 00:52:13,879
Speaker 6: Talked to a lot of people across the league, there

991
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 6: is an immense respect for Naylor and belief in what

992
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:22,440
Speaker 6: he could be if he was receiving more targets, and so.

993
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 7: I just expect there to be a lot of interest

994
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,360
Speaker 7: in him. Well, let me let me just ask you this.

995
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 7: Do you you know and this is impossible to do.

996
00:52:31,480 --> 00:52:35,200
Speaker 7: You believe that he will leave more because the Vikings

997
00:52:35,239 --> 00:52:39,319
Speaker 7: couldn't afford him, or is it because he believes he

998
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,520
Speaker 7: wants those reps to be a number two or potentially

999
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:43,759
Speaker 7: a feature on another team.

1000
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: I think it's a combination of both.

1001
00:52:46,239 --> 00:52:49,840
Speaker 6: To side with one or the other, I would skew

1002
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:52,319
Speaker 6: more to the ladder that they can afford him.

1003
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:54,839
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean, oh, I was going to go more

1004
00:52:54,880 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 7: towards he wants the reps and the feature more so

1005
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:01,080
Speaker 7: than the Vikings could not potentially make a deal with him,

1006
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 7: because I don't think he's a twenty million dollar a

1007
00:53:03,120 --> 00:53:03,640
Speaker 7: year guy.

1008
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 3: No.

1009
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:05,840
Speaker 2: I just think in the end he wants to be

1010
00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,120
Speaker 2: out from under the shadows.

1011
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:09,600
Speaker 6: But he might be a three year, thirty nine million

1012
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:13,239
Speaker 6: dollar guy at thirteen a year. And so if you're

1013
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:16,520
Speaker 6: gonna have to go back to the cap space conversation,

1014
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 6: like if you're gonna have twenty five million in space

1015
00:53:20,560 --> 00:53:23,680
Speaker 6: or thirty million in space to play with. To allocate

1016
00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,840
Speaker 6: ten million of that on Jalen Naylor when you have

1017
00:53:26,920 --> 00:53:30,680
Speaker 6: other needs probably doesn't make sense. I am very willing

1018
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 6: and open to listen to the conversation of do you

1019
00:53:34,320 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 6: pay Naylor and think about doing something with Addison? That

1020
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 6: for me does make sense when people suggest that to me,

1021
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 6: I am very much.

1022
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:42,880
Speaker 2: Willing to listen.

1023
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 6: But until the Vikings prove to me, either publicly or privately,

1024
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:51,080
Speaker 6: that they would be willing to go down that road,

1025
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 6: I would just say free agency is my expectation.

1026
00:53:54,880 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: Okay.

1027
00:53:55,280 --> 00:54:00,880
Speaker 4: I mean with respect to Jalen Naylor, it's the Hillsboro

1028
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:04,360
Speaker 4: County thing that got thrown out and the missing the

1029
00:54:04,400 --> 00:54:06,200
Speaker 4: walk through in London and.

1030
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:06,799
Speaker 2: Just stuff like that.

1031
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 4: Okay, So all of the Addison stuff we all know about,

1032
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,960
Speaker 4: with respect Jalen Naylor is not in Jordan Addison's class.

1033
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 2: That's a wide receiver.

1034
00:54:15,480 --> 00:54:15,560
Speaker 9: No.

1035
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 2: From a performance standpoint, no, right.

1036
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 4: So if your if your coach calls the plays and

1037
00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 4: the identity of what they want to do goes through him,

1038
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:26,200
Speaker 4: and you're still raising this quarterback and you need to

1039
00:54:26,239 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 4: pull you need to pull people off eighteen, then I

1040
00:54:30,239 --> 00:54:32,840
Speaker 4: just I don't see Jordan Addison leaving.

1041
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 6: Sure, but you could you could counter that with Okay,

1042
00:54:35,800 --> 00:54:39,120
Speaker 6: but with what you're paying justin Jefferson, does the receiver

1043
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:41,319
Speaker 6: room maybe need to take a little bit of a

1044
00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 6: step back to be able to use resources elsewhere whether

1045
00:54:44,760 --> 00:54:50,040
Speaker 6: you're talking I mean again, other positions, whether you're talking safety,

1046
00:54:50,080 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 6: whether you're talking running back, when you're talking to fit

1047
00:54:52,880 --> 00:54:53,759
Speaker 6: center where you're But.

1048
00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: You don't have to pay Addison for two years.

1049
00:54:56,040 --> 00:54:57,680
Speaker 6: No, you don't have to pay for two years. You

1050
00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 6: have to decide on a fifth year option by me first.

1051
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's still a pretty easy decision despite

1052
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 7: the recent stuff, right.

1053
00:55:05,040 --> 00:55:09,239
Speaker 2: Pretty I would say, because as long as even if

1054
00:55:09,239 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: you try to trade him, you would want to have

1055
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Speaker 2: that locked in, won't you.

1056
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:14,719
Speaker 6: Just Yeah, And the fifth year options projected to be

1057
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 6: around twenty million, that would probably put you around like

1058
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 6: the fifteenth most expensive receiver, and Addison performing at his

1059
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:26,759
Speaker 6: optimal level is in that class of.

1060
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,719
Speaker 2: A conversation probably, So yeah, I.

1061
00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 6: Don't know if it's like an easy button you do

1062
00:55:32,360 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 6: it automatically, But as long as the next four months

1063
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 6: play out, Okay, from an off the field situation standpoint,

1064
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,279
Speaker 6: you'd probably have enough conviction to do that.

1065
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 4: The twenty twenty six wide receiver free agents that I'm

1066
00:55:46,120 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 4: looking at now on spot track, I mean it's old,

1067
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:52,799
Speaker 4: it's not great, and it's nondescribed. I mean you got

1068
00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:56,560
Speaker 4: Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Deebo, Samuel too too out well,

1069
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 4: nobody cares, Theelin is retiring Mark see and then you

1070
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:02,520
Speaker 4: get like seven down.

1071
00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,040
Speaker 2: And I said this.

1072
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 4: Earlier in the week or late last week nine to noon,

1073
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,520
Speaker 4: and mentioned it to you yesterday. I want I want

1074
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:13,400
Speaker 4: the Vikings to consider Juwan Jennings and uh he he

1075
00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,879
Speaker 4: brings a locker room presence. He's not going to break

1076
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:20,319
Speaker 4: the bank, doesn't catch a ton of passes, but he

1077
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:23,520
Speaker 4: does in the run game, the catch game and the

1078
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:24,399
Speaker 4: sneaky game.

1079
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 6: He does so many things. So well, I'm a Juwan

1080
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,359
Speaker 6: Jennings fan. And I don't think he cost that much.

1081
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean he's huge in the run game.

1082
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,480
Speaker 6: And I mean it's really more of a question of

1083
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:39,799
Speaker 6: like identity from a bit more big picture view.

1084
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 2: Okay, do the do the Vikings.

1085
00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,080
Speaker 6: Want to They've been a the identity of this team

1086
00:56:45,480 --> 00:56:48,719
Speaker 6: has been to throw the ball vertically. Do you want

1087
00:56:48,760 --> 00:56:52,359
Speaker 6: to reshape that identity a little bit and be more

1088
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 6: of a balanced kind of where And they did run

1089
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:57,400
Speaker 6: the ball more so I'm not saying that they didn't.

1090
00:56:57,640 --> 00:56:59,400
Speaker 2: And they did run the ball more effectively, so.

1091
00:56:59,400 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 6: I'm not saying that they didn't either, But just from

1092
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 6: an overarching identity standpoint, do you want to shift a

1093
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 6: little bit?

1094
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 2: And if you do, matching.

1095
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:10,200
Speaker 6: That with personnel editions like a Juwan Jennings would make

1096
00:57:10,280 --> 00:57:12,719
Speaker 6: sense to me. I'm with you, Pa, and that I

1097
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,480
Speaker 6: really like him. Until we get closer creagency, I wouldn't

1098
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:18,640
Speaker 6: have a good feel of whether he would be in

1099
00:57:18,680 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 6: play or not.

1100
00:57:19,560 --> 00:57:23,800
Speaker 4: What is your well the according to boat Rack, and

1101
00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean this is right. I don't even know

1102
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 4: exactly what it does with these projections, but market value

1103
00:57:29,840 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 4: for Nailor's four point seven million dollars just not even

1104
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:33,480
Speaker 4: remotely close.

1105
00:57:33,720 --> 00:57:35,480
Speaker 2: Light, No, it's not way light.

1106
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's that's why I mean a lot of these projections.

1107
00:57:38,880 --> 00:57:42,120
Speaker 7: I mean, Juan Jennings is in a two year, fifteen

1108
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,120
Speaker 7: million dollars deal.

1109
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, the project on that track, Yeah, of course a

1110
00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 6: lot of people would be Yeah, those projections you really

1111
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:56,480
Speaker 6: got to be mindful of, you know. And I respect

1112
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 6: what they do, because there's probably algorithms that might pay

1113
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 6: dividends with some of that stuff.

1114
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,920
Speaker 2: But I mean the thing with Jalen Naylor.

1115
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,160
Speaker 6: You read some of those free agent receivers and it's

1116
00:58:06,240 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 6: kind of like Milton Williams. I mean it's different, but

1117
00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 6: it's kind of like Milton Williams last year when you

1118
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 6: hit the open market and there are multiple bidders, just

1119
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 6: like anything in the world.

1120
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:21,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, demand based, Yeah, demand will create more opportunity for.

1121
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 6: The contract to be larger and at Jalen Naylor's age,

1122
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,520
Speaker 6: and the potential that some of these teams will see

1123
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:32,880
Speaker 6: as untapped potential just from a production standpoint will drive

1124
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:36,080
Speaker 6: the price up. And I think the more likely contract

1125
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 6: would be like the three for thirty nine million. That

1126
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:42,160
Speaker 6: would be something that would make more sense. Well, a

1127
00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 6: great example in terms of market value. The algorithm how

1128
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:47,200
Speaker 6: it could be great, but it is imperfect. I mean,

1129
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,120
Speaker 6: you're not nobody's giving Daniel Jones forty million dollars a

1130
00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,120
Speaker 6: season off the Achilles so and that that puts in

1131
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 6: his current market value forty three and a half.

1132
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, So just the imperfection of it.

1133
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 7: Position based, there's probably a stat related bid snap counts

1134
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:02,480
Speaker 7: and all that included.

1135
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 2: It's an imperfecta. It's like this too.

1136
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,760
Speaker 6: Like the Chiefs have a free agent cornerback, Jalen Watson.

1137
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 6: I think he's really good. Like I think he's a

1138
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 6: really good cornerback. He's also sub thirty years old, and

1139
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 6: the free agent cornerbacks are not exceptional, so he might

1140
00:59:16,920 --> 00:59:20,720
Speaker 6: get way closer to the top of the market than

1141
00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 6: he other than his value really is. That's just why

1142
00:59:24,280 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 6: you don't want to be buying in free agency every offseason.

1143
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 6: You want to be in a position of strength where

1144
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 6: you're being very selective in free agency and not needing

1145
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 6: to build your whole team through free agency, which this

1146
00:59:36,760 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 6: team has had to because of their lack of draft

1147
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 6: and development over the last four years.

1148
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 2: And until that improves, it's going to be really hard.

1149
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 4: Any interest in Carolina Panthers receiver David Moore? No, yeah,

1150
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,760
Speaker 4: I mean David Moore is somebody who does your taxes.

1151
00:59:53,040 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 4: I always love not catches big passes for you, high

1152
00:59:56,120 --> 00:59:57,959
Speaker 4: red or low red does a great job.

1153
00:59:58,080 --> 01:00:01,959
Speaker 2: What about George Pickens. I want nothing to do with George.

1154
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,920
Speaker 6: I mean, I think he's an electric player and I

1155
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 6: would love watching him and observing how that would work

1156
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:14,080
Speaker 6: culture though. Yeah, we'll see on the contract with Dallas

1157
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 6: how that goes. He's represented by David Mullagetto, who represented MICHAEH.

1158
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 6: Parsons and that whole thing spun sideway. So I'm just

1159
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,720
Speaker 6: fascinated as an observant the industry to see how the

1160
01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 6: Jerry Jones conversations with George Pickens workout.

1161
01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 4: Well, we are fascinated that you know that, and that

1162
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:34,080
Speaker 4: was quite brilliant that you knew who George Pickens agent was.

1163
01:00:34,200 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 6: I mean, you could go through most players in the NFL.

1164
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 6: I'd probably be able to tell you the agent. Okay,

1165
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 6: that's how it goes. Okay, Alamide's a kias. I don't know,

1166
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:44,640
Speaker 6: have a good day. We have a few segments left,

1167
01:00:44,680 --> 01:00:47,560

1168
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:48,440
Speaker 6: for this portion of it.

1169
01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, New England is at Denver and the Rams

1170
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:52,680
Speaker 4: are at Seattle.

1171
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:54,640
Speaker 2: We got to get into that before we leave.

1172
01:00:55,200 --> 01:00:58,240
Speaker 4: Order produces Alex Lewis with the athletic or to see
