1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,040 Speaker 1: Are you want the bad news, the good news or 2 00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:04,120 Speaker 1: the good news but still kind of in the end. 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,440 Speaker 2: Bad news good news say, the good news is that the. 4 00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: Huskies won last night over usc bad news is it 5 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: got them to seven and twelve in the Big Ten. 6 00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: I have one more game to go against Oregon on 7 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: Saturday in Eugene. Hannah Steinbach no relation to Terry Steinbach 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,920 Speaker 1: twenty two points, twenty four rebounds. 9 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 2: Zoom had twenty six. 10 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: The Dogs take on the Ducks on Saturday, and then 11 00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: the Big Ten tournament is in Chicago next week. So 12 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: I was not at the game last night, by the way, 13 00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: And I always feel bad talking about crowd sizes when 14 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,080 Speaker 1: I'm not there, Like, you know. 15 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 2: If I was there, it would have been different. 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: If I had shown up, I'd been one person, one 17 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: more person there. But I was watching the introductions of 18 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: the Husky seniors last night, right and I showed you 19 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 1: that video. 20 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: By the way, there's nobody there. That place was empty. 21 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,400 Speaker 3: I don't know how much before the game that happened. 22 00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: Well, it was this, It was the introductions of the seniors. 23 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: It had to have been like ten fifty teen minutes 24 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: before the game. 25 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, man Nel's eighty five. 26 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: We know there wasn't hours before the game or an 27 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: hour before the game, but that looked like there was 28 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 1: nobody there at heck Ed last night. And I'm not 29 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: saying there should be people there. I'm not blaming people 30 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: at all. 31 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 4: Well for five one, if you were there was a miserable, 32 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,200 Speaker 4: bad or okay, crowd, it wasn't a good crowd. 33 00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 2: I had a friend that was there last night. 34 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: He said it was pretty bad last night, Like the 35 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: upper bowl was almost completely empty for USC. And again 36 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: I'm not saying this is wrong. I mean the team was. 37 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: They were six and twelve for God's sakes heading into 38 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 1: last night in conference play, right, So I don't blame 39 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: fans for not showing up. I just think that Husky basketball, 40 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: Husky basketball needs to kind of figure out how to 41 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,559 Speaker 1: fix this man and what they want to be. And look, 42 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: what I think is this. I just go back to 43 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: what we talked about over the offseason. My concerns were 44 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: simple that I just think this is not the NBA 45 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: where you have all this time to get new guys together. 46 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: You play a six months and you play eighty two games. 47 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: You got to really compress this dick as a coach, 48 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: You don't have a lot of time to get ten 49 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: to eleven new guys on the same page. And I 50 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: thought it was going to be a really tough go 51 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: for Danny Sprinkle to pull that off. You thought that 52 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: after the first maybe couple two three weeks of the 53 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: Big Ten season, when the schedule lightens up, that they 54 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: would get a way to come together. They never got healthy, 55 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: they were never able to play on the same page. 56 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 1: And you know what just bothers me about this is 57 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: what everybody else is saying. I'm not, you know, giving 58 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: you some unbelievable take here, but God is a Husky 59 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: basketball fan, And as a Husky fan, don't you get 60 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: tired of watching the basketball team have great players that 61 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: don't make the tournament. Yeah, it's happening over and over 62 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 1: and over again. Now, I don't know what Hanna Steinbach's 63 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: immediate future is. If I'm Washington, I'm backing up the 64 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: Brinks truck to get this got to stay. I got 65 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 1: a funny feeling that he's going to be in the 66 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 1: NBA next year, and he probably should be in the 67 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,079 Speaker 1: NBA next year. I guarantee you there's gonna be other 68 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 1: college basketball programs that will approach the sky about transferring 69 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 1: for a buttload of money, probably even more so than 70 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: what he's making at Washington. And I have no idea 71 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: what he's making at Washington, but I would be okay 72 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,679 Speaker 1: with what's happening right now at you dub if all 73 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 1: of these guys were returning next year. Oh, we have 74 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: no idea, and we have no ideas. And that's the 75 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: thing is that, Dick, if this was a well, first 76 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: of all, if this was normal college basketball, which means 77 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: six years ago, right or whatever that was before the 78 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: transfer rules and all the nil stuff came to play, 79 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: these guys wouldn't be here number one, because they could 80 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: transfer here, right. So it's kind of a ridiculous statement 81 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 1: to make. But let's just live in a world where 82 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: all these guys were brought in via high school recruiting 83 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 1: or whatever. Okay, and maybe a couple of transfers that 84 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: sat out a year whatever. If they were all coming 85 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: back and the guys that you're losing, I'm sorry, from 86 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 1: a senior perspective, no disrespect to Ignasovich and Kepnong and 87 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: guys like that. Technically, I actually think am I right 88 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: that Kepnong might have one. 89 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 2: More year left in him. 90 00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 4: To be honest with you, well, I heard that he 91 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 4: may I don't know have a seventh year. I mean 92 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 4: he was an outside senior. 93 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: I would doubt he's back. 94 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: Yes, But the key is is that we've seen Husky 95 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: players and football players too, by the way, get introduced 96 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: to seniors and then return because they get their eligibioitive backs. 97 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: So it's not a yect, but what they're what they're 98 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 1: losing right now. If those guys are gone, the absolute 99 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: meat of this basketball team can return, they can all 100 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 1: come back and they can play together. Now, that's not 101 00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: gonna happen, because that's not what happens in college basketball 102 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 1: these days. These guys all take off. But God, maybe 103 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: they just luck out tremendously and they get these guys 104 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: to all return next season. I'd be okay if you 105 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,360 Speaker 1: could tell me right now. Like with the football team, 106 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,880 Speaker 1: we talked about demand and Jed and all that yesterday, 107 00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: I'd be fine with it. If this was like it 108 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: was five or six years ago and all these dudes 109 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 1: are coming back, I'd say, God, they had a really 110 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,480 Speaker 1: rough go, but you know what, they were all banged up. 111 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: Let's see what happens when these guys are all healthy 112 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: together and they're all returning, I'd feel really good about that, 113 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: but they're kind of in a no man's land right now. 114 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 4: Well, on the usage to me was was off. I 115 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,920 Speaker 4: mean Wesley Yates. I mean when I saw him at 116 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: the beginning of the season and I saw him take 117 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 4: his first three point shot, I was like, my god, 118 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 4: that is just. 119 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 2: Awful looking, right, Why has he taking so many threes? 120 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: Thank you? 121 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 3: He took. 122 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 4: He took one hundred and fifty one to three point shots. Yeah, 123 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 4: this season, and in the last eight games he went 124 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,840 Speaker 4: zero for nine, one for eight, three for seven, three 125 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: for twelve, one for four, one for seven, and two 126 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: for seven. 127 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: Right. Terrible. 128 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:46,280 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, every time Hannes Steinbach walks onto the floor, he 129 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 4: can he can burp twenty points. 130 00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: Right right, I mean boards and ten boards, yes. 131 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 3: And yet he only takes eleven to twelve shots a game. 132 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 2: Right. 133 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: That That is the imbalance on this basketball team. Everything 134 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: should have been running through Hanna Steinbach, and it wasn't 135 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 4: running through Sahna Steinbach because you have other guys that 136 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 4: just had to get their shots up. 137 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. 138 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: Well, Wesley Yates has been awful from downtown. I don't 139 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: know what we're paying the guy, and I don't like 140 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: I don't even know how people feel about these things. Now, 141 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: I can hear one side of the audience saying, hey, 142 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,839 Speaker 1: they're just kids, don't talk about what they're making. The 143 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,720 Speaker 1: other side can say, oh the hell with that. They're 144 00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: professionals now, they're making and they are professionals. They're professional athletes. 145 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: They're being paid to come here to Washington to play basketball. 146 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 1: And Wesley Yates, who started here, went to USC came 147 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: back when Quincy came back, is not living up to 148 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: whatever bargain he struck with Washington, right. I mean, look, Dick, 149 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 1: you're exactly right. A big, massive part of this is injuries. 150 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,600 Speaker 1: Totally thousand percent massive part of it is injuries. But 151 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: the other part of it is guys like Wesley Yates 152 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: not performing the way that we all thought he was 153 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: going to. 154 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 5: Come on. 155 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 3: He closed the season going one of seventeen and five 156 00:06:57,920 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 3: of eighteen. 157 00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, terrible, terrible. 158 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 4: Five shots in two games. You extended out four games. 159 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 4: He is averaging sixteen shots a game. Meanwhile, Hannah Steinbach's 160 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: taken four less than he is a game. 161 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: Well, he shot thirty three percent from downtown and took 162 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: the second most three pointers on the on the a 163 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: thirty one percent sorry from downtown and took the second 164 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: most three pointers on the basketball team. So that's weird. 165 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: You know why the guy just keeps shooting. I got 166 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 1: to think that some of that's the coaching staff, right, 167 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: just say, you know, keep firing.

This tone? I don't want 197 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: to do that. 198 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:32,199 Speaker 1: I mean, at some point you get tired of it, right, 199 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: It's like the Mariners back in the day. At some 200 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: point you're like, I'm done forget about it. You know, 201 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,720 Speaker 1: why why are we doing this? Why are we devoting 202 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: time to this on the ear when all what's doing 203 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: is pissing people off and bringing people down. So, look, 204 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: I think that this business that we are in, and 205 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: I've said this for many many years, here is a 206 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: response based business. We will respond in kind. When the 207 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks perform well, they get coverage. When the Mariners perform well, 208 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: they get coverage. When the Husky football team is in 209 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: the national championship game, they will own the radio station. 210 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 1: When the Huskies are in the NCAA Tournament for three 211 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: years in a row and playing in the Sweet sixteen 212 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: against West Virginia at Syracuse in twenty ten, they will 213 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: get coverage. But when you miss the tournament fourteen times 214 00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 1: in fifteen years, I'm sorry, I get tired of going 215 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,640 Speaker 1: on the air and complaining and screaming and yelling and 216 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: whining and moaning about the same stuff over and over 217 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 1: and over again. That's why we get to a point, 218 00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 1: at least for me, where you say your piece and you're. 219 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 2: Done and you move on. That's it. I mean, this 220 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 2: isn't fun for me. 221 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 4: No, I mean, if we want to give tips of caps, 222 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 4: I mean, obviously, honest Steinback. 223 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 3: What's unfortunate is that. 224 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 4: Husky most of Husky Nation, right will miss Honnes Steinbach's 225 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 4: career at the university. Correct, correct, And that is unfortunate, 226 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 4: let me, because he is one of the best players 227 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 4: we've had in twenty years. 228 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: Do you think that there are casual college basketball fans 229 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 1: in this town? And when I say ca like, you know, 230 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,680 Speaker 1: they kind of know a little bit, maybe they remember 231 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: their you know, things about their youth or whatever. Are 232 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: there casual to maybe slightly less than casual college basketball 233 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: fans in Seattle that have no idea how Honna Steinback 234 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: is no idea? 235 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 2: Who is casual? 236 00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 4: Yes, if they don't pant, if they're not Huskies and 237 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 4: they're just casual basketball fans, Yes, I think so. 238 00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: Which is sad. 239 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 4: Which is sad because it's funny because because I listened 240 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 4: to some of the national podcasts and they talk about 241 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 4: Hanna Steinbach. They talk about this freshman class, which is unbelievable. 242 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 4: You know, we had Mike de Courcion he said it 243 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: was the best freshman class since Bird and Magic. That 244 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: is how good this freshman class is this year. And 245 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,679 Speaker 4: they always mention Hanna Steinbach's name in those four or 246 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 4: five guys that are going to go in the first 247 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 4: twenty picks in the drive. 248 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, well he's got it. He's got a shot to 249 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: be on the Big Ten first team. He is, he's 250 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: going to be a Big Ten Player of the Year candidate, 251 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: and he's not going to make the tournament. 252 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just that's what's. 253 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: Just kind of wearing on me, guys, you know, And 254 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: it's just I don't know if It's like we're talking 255 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: the ear day about all these random Seahawks players, right. 256 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,719 Speaker 1: We talked about Philip Dorsett, we talked about is it 257 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 1: Jaron Brown or Jalen Brown, the guy from the Cardinals, 258 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:09,200 Speaker 1: Luke Jokol, And we're kind of just you know, being 259 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:11,320 Speaker 1: smart asses on the AAR yesterday that you know, look 260 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,560 Speaker 1: at all these random nobody from nowhere that the Seahawks 261 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,319 Speaker 1: have signed. And my point is that, well, maybe most 262 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: when you're talking about the NFL, you got hundreds of 263 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: players a year that come through your own, you know, franchise, 264 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: at least one hundred, if not more than that. I 265 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:28,640 Speaker 1: think every team could probably say something like that that 266 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 1: they've got, you know, a bunch of random guys. I 267 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 1: don't know how many teams in college basketball over the 268 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: last ten years, and I don't know if I want 269 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 1: to know, because I might start crying. 270 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 2: By the way, have had as. 271 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: Many top tier NBA quality first round draft pick talents 272 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: that Washington's had that have not made the Ncaattorney. 273 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 3: I don't think there's any, Dave, I really don't. I 274 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 3: don't think there's any. 275 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: And you've got another situation where you got another one 276 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 4: that's going to be a lottery pick and they're not 277 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: going to make the tournament. 278 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: Stuart McDaniel's we can keep going, Pauz correct, Yes, absolutely, 279 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: but you know again, if we wanted to, we tipped 280 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Captain Steinbach. 281 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 4: I want to tip a cap to zoom Diallo because 282 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 4: I think zoom Diallo took a tremendous step this year 283 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,440 Speaker 4: from last year. He played really, really well and both 284 00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 4: the point and the off guard is shooting is getting better. 285 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 4: He's getting into the paint is well at will. So 286 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 4: I love what I saw from zoom Diallo. And Frank 287 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 4: kept on when he played and we stayed out in 288 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 4: foul trouble. He played really well. I really like what 289 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 4: we got from Big Frank. But the rest of the 290 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: guys that were brought in other than steinby me Claude 291 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:38,239 Speaker 4: a zero, Wesley Yates a zero. I mean Lathan Smerville 292 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 4: was the third leading score at Rutgers last year and 293 00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 4: he came in and did nothing for this team. 294 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: To me, there's four possible reasons why the Huskies ended 295 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: up where they ended up, And to be fair, they've 296 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: still got the Big Ten tournament. They could shock the 297 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,400 Speaker 1: world starting next week in Chicago, right, whatever, But it's 298 00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: either coaching, injuries that get just so bad that you 299 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 1: got to just three your hands up, right, talent or chemistry, 300 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 1: like one of. 301 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: Those four things. 302 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 1: Al ranks of those four, what was the biggest problem 303 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,720 Speaker 1: with this basketball team? 304 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,400 Speaker 2: And how far is number one from number two? 305 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 3: I'm going to say number one was injuries, right, I'm 306 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 3: gonna say number. 307 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 2: Two was chemistry. 308 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 3: Okay, I'm gonna say number three was coaching, and four 309 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: was talent. 310 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,319 Speaker 2: So how far is injuries from chemistry? 311 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: If injuries were the biggest problem and then chemistry was 312 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: the second biggest problem, what's the gap between the injuries 313 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: this team had and the players not being able to 314 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: play together when they were healthy. 315 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 4: I mean they're kind of hand in hand because it's 316 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: hard to develop chemistry when you only have seven healthy bodies. 317 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 4: But I would say chemistry on it scale one, chemistry 318 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 4: is an Injuries were a nine, chemistry was a seven 319 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:46,439 Speaker 4: and a half. 320 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 1: Well, I mean you think about like your whatever your 321 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: starting five was, or your seven to eight man rotation 322 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 1: that you thought was going to be most consistent right 323 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: for this basketball team, whatever that is in your head, 324 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: maybe it's a nine man rotation. 325 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 2: Whatever it was. 326 00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: How many times did that seven eight nine man rotation 327 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: get to play together this year? 328 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 2: Right? And I mean I bet the answer is not 329 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:10,559 Speaker 2: very many? Yeah right. I mean it's it's going to 330 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 2: be in the teens. 331 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: Obviously, but you want it to be in the high 332 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,079 Speaker 1: twenties obviously, if not low thirties. So how many times 333 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: did that rotation whatever that rotation was, whatever? 334 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 2: Eight nine guys? 335 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: You can think of, how many times did that rotation 336 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: get a chance to play together? 337 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: And I bet the answer is pretty damn slim. 338 00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 4: One of the guys they were really counting on didn't 339 00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:31,200 Speaker 4: play us right second, Matti Treori didn't play a second. 340 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: And then Manda Quit got banged up. Obviously, I was 341 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: talking about how great he was going to be. And 342 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: so look, man, I mean, I mean, I'm okay blaming injuries. 343 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 1: I know a lot of people aren't, you know, I 344 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: know coaches don't like to do it. You know, there's 345 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: a tough guy men. We're never going to blame injuries 346 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: around here. Bull crap. You can absolutely get to a point, 347 00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: especially in football, where you can lose enough guys and 348 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: lose enough players of significance where you just gotta say 349 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: this isn't the team. 350 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 4: That's why I don't think anybody, well, we were going 351 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 4: to have That's why I don't think anybody should call 352 00:14:58,520 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 4: for Danish And. 353 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:00,080 Speaker 2: You know what, nobody. 354 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 1: I haven't heard one person say, have you. No, I 355 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: haven't heard one person, one fan who covers the team. 356 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 2: Nobody. 357 00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: I mean maybe a couple of random but that's not 358 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: a thing yet. Now this happens again next year, it's 359 00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: going to be a thing. And he's a big boy. 360 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,960 Speaker 2: He knows a thing. He knows that he'll be a thing. 361 00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 1: Saren Petro, Why did the Chiefs trade McDuffie and why 362 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: did they have to send him to the frickin' Rams? 363 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: God darn it. 364 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 1: Next on ninety three to three KJRFM from the R. 365 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,520 Speaker 2: And R Foundation Specialist Broadcast Studio. 366 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 3: Now back to Softie and Dick on your Home for 367 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: the Huskies, Kraken and the twelfth Man Sports Radio ninety 368 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 3: three point three kjr FM. 369 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 1: Hey, some news in the NFL and some sad news 370 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,240 Speaker 1: to pass along.

I thought we were tight. 392 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: You couldn't have sent this guy to anybody else New 393 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: Orleans or the Jets or the Jaguars had to pick 394 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 1: the Rams. 395 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,320 Speaker 5: Huh yeah, Hey, real quick, say, so you mentioned about 396 00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 5: Bob Harlan. Kevin Harland comes on my show as well. Yeah, 397 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 5: and there's no better human being than Kevin Harlan. Where 398 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 5: blessed he lives here in Kansas City. He did the 399 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 5: Chiefs and the Kings back in the day before they moved. 400 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 5: He did the Kings when he's like twenty one, just 401 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:17,880 Speaker 5: straight out of college, like one of the great broadcasters, 402 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:20,520 Speaker 5: way better person. You know, his brother, you know, his 403 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 5: brother is John Harbaugh's agent and agents to many NFL folks, 404 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 5: which speaks to just what kind of man. Bob Harlan 405 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 5: was incredible as a football president, but you can see 406 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 5: the family incredibly successful as well, and incredibly successful while 407 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 5: being outstanding people. So, you know, we put out the 408 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 5: same message a little bit earlier today that you guys did, 409 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,320 Speaker 5: so I want to echo that sent and I hope 410 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 5: everybody understands anytime you see or hear Kevin Harlan, not 411 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 5: only is he brilliantly talented, but he's an even better 412 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 5: person now that being said, Yes, yeah, Trent McDuffie, another 413 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 5: great guy. You know, I guess it's like a great 414 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 5: guy fest here. That's one of the things I was 415 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 5: talking with some folks at the Chiefs. They're like, you know, 416 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 5: it's a lot easier to get the price you want 417 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 5: when you're trading away a quality individual. He said, it 418 00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 5: also makes it a lot harder to make that trade. 419 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 5: He said, you know, we love Trent McDuffie, but we're 420 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 5: just in a spot where we need the picks, we 421 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 5: need the cap room, and he's a valuable commodity. And 422 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 5: while we don't like losing Trent McDuffie, it's just the 423 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:20,360 Speaker 5: move we have to make for the football team right now. 424 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 5: So look, the Rams are the obvious dance partner, his 425 00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 5: former coach, as you know, on the coaching staff there. 426 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 5: So you got a guy that not only does everybody 427 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 5: in the league think Trent McDuffie's really good, but you 428 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 5: got a guy that knows him inside out, that knows 429 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 5: he's not going to be any kind of issue off 430 00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 5: the field. His tape speaks for itself as to what 431 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 5: kind of football player is. They hoard picks, which I 432 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:41,919 Speaker 5: think is a brilliant move by them, So they had 433 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 5: plenty of picks to give a team that starved for 434 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 5: draft picks, and they have the cap room forty million 435 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 5: dollars worth a cap, so it just matched up. The 436 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 5: Giants were the other team that was there, and I think, 437 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,600 Speaker 5: you know, the Chiefs maybe could have tried to squeeze 438 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 5: a little more juice out of that if they had 439 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 5: waited to the draft. But you never know. The Rams 440 00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 5: go another direction and say, Okay, well we'll just sign 441 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 5: jam Watson. It's not our first choice, but we'll take 442 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 5: Jalen Watson, who is a free agent on your team 443 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,000 Speaker 5: as well, and now we don't need your corner and 444 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 5: that offer dries up. So I think the Chiefs struck 445 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 5: while the iron was hot, got as much as they 446 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 5: could and it's a deal that they just had to make. 447 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:14,919 Speaker 3: Well, And sir En, I thought you got great compensation. 448 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 4: I mean a first, a fifth, a sixth this year, 449 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 4: a third next year. But is it a sign that 450 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 4: Kansas City is not really going forward until twenty twenty 451 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 4: seven and kind of treating next year as a recovery 452 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 4: year for Mahomes. 453 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,959 Speaker 5: I think that's one way to put it. I mean, 454 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 5: I think their view of it would be that it's 455 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,639 Speaker 5: a sign that they're not willing to just bury themselves 456 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,359 Speaker 5: for like one last go round that they know they've 457 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 5: got five years, six years hopefully maybe more of a 458 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 5: prime Patrick Mahomes, and they don't want to sell out. 459 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 5: You know, they were fifty plus million over the cap 460 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 5: coming into this. They cut Jawan Taylor, they redid Patrick 461 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 5: Mahomes contract, which was always the plan. Now they cut 462 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 5: my data. You know, they have some other things they 463 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 5: can do to get even lower. But now they're in 464 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 5: a position where they can go out and do some 465 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 5: things in free agency. But I want to be clear, 466 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 5: they need to do a lot of things. They need 467 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 5: quantity over quality. I mean they're starting running back right now? 468 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: Is Burshard Smith and the other guys someone I've never 469 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 5: even heard of? Right, that's it. That's all they have 470 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 5: on the roster for running backs. If they lined up 471 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,680 Speaker 5: right now, three wide, they would run out Rossie Rice, 472 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 5: who may be suspended again, Xavier Worthy and John Brownlee. 473 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 5: Right you ever heard of John Brownlee? No? No, one has, not, 474 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 5: Not many people in Kansas City have. And that'd be 475 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 5: their third wide receiver right now. Let alone, if you 476 00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 5: get to a fourth or a fifth, they need a tackle, 477 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 5: They need defensive tackles. Defensive ends. They need a safety. 478 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 5: So this was just a deal that I think they 479 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 5: you know, knew they had to make. You have the 480 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,600 Speaker 5: question in Kansas City is, well, well this has been different. 481 00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 5: Why didn't you trade you know, Nick Bolton or Tray Smith. 482 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 5: They wouldn't have brought near the return being a linebacker 483 00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 5: and a guard. But they gave them, you know, top 484 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 5: of the food chain money at two positions at aren't 485 00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 5: premium last year, and now they're they're defining themselves trading 486 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,960 Speaker 5: the premium position. And so that's probably the frustration. I 487 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,120 Speaker 5: think most of the fans get it for where they 488 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 5: are that this is a move made to try to 489 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 5: be good for five years, not just necessarily next year. 490 00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 5: But you know, they could have done things differently a 491 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:08,120 Speaker 5: year ago. 492 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: Well, Siren Petro Kansas City with us talking about former 493 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: Husky Trent McDuffie going to Kansas City's reunited with Pukinakua 494 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 1: by the way, who spent some time at U dub 495 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: before he transferred to BYU. And I'm looking at just 496 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: PFF's rankings. They had one ram Corner in the top 497 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: forty last year and that was McCreary at number twenty five. 498 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,360 Speaker 1: They've got McDuffie at number twelve overall in the NFL. 499 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: I'm just curious because we kind of care about what 500 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,639 Speaker 1: this means for Kansas City, but we really care what 501 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 1: it means for the Rams because that's who the Hawks 502 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: are fighting for for a division championship. So how much 503 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,960 Speaker 1: better are the Rams today in your opinion, knowing what 504 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: you know about what McDuffie's got left in the tank, 505 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 1: how much better are they on their secondary? 506 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:59,360 Speaker 5: You know? I think, and I'll mention Jeremy Fowler does 507 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 5: his preseason in you know, top ten in each position 508 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 5: where he pulls you know, front office people, and that 509 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 5: one Trent McDuffie came in, number four, came in, he 510 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 5: was Foresauce Gardner was five, and that was talking to 511 00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:11,639 Speaker 5: executives around the league. But I think what Trent McDuffie 512 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 5: is a little bit of a you know, the beauty's 513 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 5: in the eye of the beholder. I think he is 514 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 5: the best nickel, the best slot corner in football, and 515 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 5: he's one of the better outside corners. Like he does 516 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 5: if you know, if you want to say, okay, what's 517 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 5: the weakness, go turn on the George Pickens display. That 518 00:22:28,760 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 5: he put on the Cowboys put on against Trent McDuffie, 519 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 5: really feeding him the ball the bigger receivers. He's got 520 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,600 Speaker 5: shorter arms. That's why he was the third corner to 521 00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 5: go in a very talented corner draft behind stingleyan Gardner, 522 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 5: because he's not quite the typical length. The hips, the feet, 523 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,440 Speaker 5: the mind, the toughness, everything else except that typical length 524 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 5: is all there with him, which is you know, he's 525 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 5: and he's a battler, and so you know he can 526 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 5: be fine on the outside, better than fine. I shouldn't 527 00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,920 Speaker 5: say he can be very good on the outside, but 528 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,960 Speaker 5: where he can struggle is with those bigger receivers. But 529 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: I think the plan for the Rams is to know 530 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,560 Speaker 5: that Jackson Smith and Jigbull works from the slot a lot. 531 00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: You know, they can put him on Smith and Jigbu 532 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 5: and say, Okay, you know you're gonna have a tough 533 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 5: day to day because this is the best slot cover guy. 534 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,200 Speaker 5: And you know, I think so that's what I think, 535 00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 5: you know they're looking at. He's also a great tackler. 536 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 5: I think he's had like nine missed tackles in like 537 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 5: his entire time at Kansas City. Now that's the hallmark 538 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 5: of the Chief secondary. Dave Merritt really preaches that. Steve 539 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 5: Spagnolo preaches it and he exemplifies it because he's a 540 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 5: tremendous tackler. So you know, you come up to run support, 541 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 5: he's tough, he's ready to do it, and he's effective 542 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,720 Speaker 5: at doing it. So they got a guy that I 543 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 5: think the Rams will probably deploy a lot in the 544 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,919 Speaker 5: slot and a lot on Jackson Smith and Jigbun. 545 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 4: You mentioned the running back situation, and that's why Jeremiah 546 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: Love has mocked so many times to Kansas City. You 547 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 4: finally have a high pick, which I know you don't 548 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:56,880 Speaker 4: want in Kansas City, but it seems like a marriage 549 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 4: made in Heaven between you guys in Jeremiah Love. 550 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 3: Is that where most Chiefs fans want to go in April? 551 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 5: You know, I think there are some, but I think 552 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 5: there's also, you know, a feeling of like, don't overspend 553 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,440 Speaker 5: on a running but don't take a running back too high. 554 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 5: You can find good running backs later in the draft. 555 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 5: And that's less true today. I mean, I think that 556 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 5: was the trend. You look at the top ten running backs, 557 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 5: you know, in rushing at the end of the year 558 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: and eight of the ten to be after the first round. 559 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 5: You know, six of the ten would be after the 560 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 5: second round. There'd be one that wasn't drafted. You know 561 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 5: there was. I think it was it was easier to 562 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 5: find decent running backs later it was all about your 563 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 5: offensive line. And now that running backs are receivers as 564 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 5: much as they are runners at times, I think that 565 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 5: makes you know a guy like Jeremiah Love even more valuable. 566 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 5: I mean, I hear these different comps where they're trying 567 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 5: to go to me. Christian McCaffrey is the comp to 568 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 5: him when they talk about how well he runs the routes, 569 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 5: which would be the perfect guy for Andy Reid. But 570 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 5: they have so many needs and I think they do 571 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 5: feel like, well, the premium running backs still need to 572 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 5: go early. You can still maybe get eighty five eighty 573 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 5: percent of him in the third round, or you can 574 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,919 Speaker 5: put him together with two or three different guys. They 575 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 5: do like Burshard Smith, who was a seventh round pick 576 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 5: last year, who had a really nice last game. He 577 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 5: didn't play much. He needs to get bigger, he needs 578 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 5: to get stronger. He's a wide receiver convert out of 579 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 5: Miami and SMU, and they do feel like he's got 580 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 5: some skills and he may be the third down part 581 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 5: of it, so I think they'll look to kind of 582 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 5: piece it together. There's talk that they want to find 583 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,439 Speaker 5: a running back in free agency in the five to 584 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 5: eight million dollar range, maybe a Tyler Algier type, and 585 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 5: then Bershard Smith is a receiving back, and then draft 586 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 5: a young running back. But I think nine is more 587 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 5: likely to be one of those traditional premium positions. Wide out, 588 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 5: it would have to be tATu Ohio state tackle A. 589 00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 5: I don't think any corner because there's not a corner 590 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 5: that goes out, but edge and d tackle would be 591 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 5: the most likely spot for that. 592 00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: Well, just do us a favorite, Surren, sir in Petro 593 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,639 Speaker 1: WHB Kansas City. Next time you guys move a talent 594 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 1: like McDuffie, can you just converse with us first before 595 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 1: you trade him to our biggest rival for God's sakes. 596 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:55,520 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, I'll make some calls. 597 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: I'll call us all right, Hey, we'll talk tomorrow in 598 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 1: your show.

And yeah, 601 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 1: I was looking at PFF's rankings for just corners, and 602 00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,679 Speaker 1: I was just filtering the Rams, and I said, man, 603 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 1: who's this guy they have at number twelve that played 604 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 1: corner for the Rams. 605 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 2: It's mcduffey. They've already changed it. Mcduffee You know who 606 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 2: number one was. 607 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: In the NFL last year, by the way, by them 608 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 1: in their spoon Devin Witherspoon, number one with the rated 609 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: corner back in the NFL. 610 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 4: You know, I was looking at the running backs and 611 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 4: it's totally gone back to highly drafted running backs dominating 612 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: the NFL. I'm the ten of the top twelve in 613 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,160 Speaker 4: yards last year, right, first and second round draft picks. 614 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 2: Right, So you got it. 615 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 4: You want to get a Bell Calt running back, you 616 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 4: got to take one in the first sixty picks. 617 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: Well, let's do this.
