Will Disley. 8 00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 1: By the way, I also got released by the Chargers 9 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: earlier today, So free agency coming up on Monday. 10 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,159 Speaker 2: Very excited about that again. Five six, six things. There 11 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:23,439 Speaker 2: was our Kawae common Spirit health text on. 12 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: A couple of texts, this one enjoying the show, taking 13 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: a walk, listening to Dave Ryan as a trip. 14 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: I'll say, how about this one? 15 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 4: Seven to ninety five, Dave, I think it was New 16 00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 4: Rockney in your living room. Not sure what you mean 17 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 4: by that. Seven six nine. Dan Devine won a national 18 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,599 Speaker 4: championship a Notre Dame with Joe Montana quarterback. Dan Divine 19 00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 4: honestly was not great for Joe Montana's career. If you're 20 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,040 Speaker 4: a Notre Dame fan, you'll you'll know what I mean. 21 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 4: But Joe Montana had a hard time getting Joe Montana 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 4: had a hard time getting off the bench for Dan Divine. 23 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 3: So go figure, go figure, Okay. 24 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: A couple of things I wanted to get to here, 25 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 1: and maybe I'll run out of this conversation. We were 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: having a moment ago about Breese Hall and the report 27 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: from CBS that the Broncos are poised to make a 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 1: splasher running back. We know they well coined to bend. 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: They were in on David Montgomery. Sounds like they were 30 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,959 Speaker 1: in on bres Hall. I mean they're more or less 31 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: letting it known now. 32 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: Jonathan Jones says, I would He said it would be 33 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:32,360 Speaker 2: an obvious. 34 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: Landing spot for Kenth Walker, but the team could offer 35 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: Travis etn for a more affordable running back, So and 36 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,479 Speaker 1: I don't know, so like just very quickly the concept 37 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: of a splash, because I know we talked about. 38 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: Running back a ton yesterday, so we don't have to 39 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 2: do this again. 40 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: But the concept of a splash at running back, that's 41 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: a fascinating thing because it feels very nebulous, because the 42 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: splash means, hey, I mean, you can add a lot 43 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: of there's like four or five guys that would be 44 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: better than what you currently have, and we could be 45 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: con or a splash. But there's some people to say 46 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,279 Speaker 1: a splash almost has to be Kenneth Walker or traves 47 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: e TM, those are the top two guys. 48 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 2: Well, it's like, but I could make Greco daddles like you. 49 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: Doing a cannon ball off the high dive, and. 50 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 2: I can't wait for to see where this goes. 51 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 4: When Al was here, Al doing a cannon ball off 52 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: the high dive, so my different size splash. You're right, right, 53 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 4: so cannonballs. So Al's splash wouldn't be as big as yours. 54 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 4: Oh you know, Al's here. 55 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to throw you some trying to throw 56 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 3: he's not here. 57 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 4: I'm trying to throw him some love right now you are, No, 58 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 4: I said, I don't remember when we first started talking 59 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 4: about this, but I believed that the Broncos were I 60 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 4: don't even know how I termed it splash or big 61 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: news or I believed that they on the offensive side 62 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: of the ball. I told you were gonna they were 63 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 4: going to acquire some talent that people would push back 64 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 4: and say wow, okay and be excited about. 65 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 3: I still think that's a possibility. I do think. 66 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 4: That they've they've tried and unsuccessfully, so so yeah, I 67 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 4: still think the running back room is probably the area, 68 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: and I think they'll address those three those three rooms 69 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 4: that we talked about running back tied in and inside linebacker. 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 4: They'll do that with both free agency and the draft. 71 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: So stay tuned, Stay tuned. Well, one of the names 72 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: that I guess this is a possibility. I want to 73 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 1: gauge your interest here. 74 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: Is this a cannonball splash? 75 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 2: It depends on your view of that. 76 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: What does that mean? 77 00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: Well, because there's some how do I tie this into 78 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: the analyogy, I have no idea, Like there's some floaties on. 79 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: You know, you're jumping in with the cannonball, but you 80 00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 1: got floaties on. Stefan Diggs is being released by the Patriots. 81 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: Now I say there's sort of caveat because first of all, 82 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: he's there's going to be potential suspension, right because of 83 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: the stuff he had the altercation with his girlfriend. So 84 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't really know about that. But last year I 85 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 1: had over one thousand yards receiving. He's had seven over 86 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,920 Speaker 1: one thousand yard receiving seasons over the last. 87 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: Eight years, so very productive wide receiver. 88 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: And as we know, it was down to Denver and 89 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,240 Speaker 1: New England last year, Like we got the report that 90 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: it was down to Denver and New England last year. 91 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: He had opted to go to New England, which made 92 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: the Broncos decide to go ahead and give Courland Sutton 93 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: an extension. But now you could say, well, he's a 94 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: free agent and he would look very nice opposite Courtland 95 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: Sutton on this offense. 96 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: So my answer that would be, I mean, I think 97 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 4: Stefan Diggs has been a very good player in this league. 98 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 4: I'm not sure how much he has left. I'm not 99 00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 4: saying he can't still play, and maybe he's you know, 100 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: maybe he's regarded for with people that watch all of 101 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 4: his tape as being a guy that still hasn't right. 102 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 4: Receivers lose it. Receivers are running backs almost overnight can 103 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 4: lose a step, and a step lost at either of 104 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:15,040 Speaker 4: those two positions makes a world of difference. An offensive 105 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 4: lineman can lose a step, but you can still you 106 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: can still play in the league with technique and power 107 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 4: and strength. But a receiver or back who loses a 108 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 4: step it can be curtains for their career. So I 109 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 4: don't know where Diggs sort of falls into that discussion. 110 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: I would have to investigate. You know, he went to 111 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 4: New England. He said just unbelievably great things about New England. 112 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 3: It was his favorite season. 113 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: He talked about you know, he was in Buffalo with 114 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 4: Josh Allen, he was in Houston, but he talked about 115 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 4: this year being his favorite year by all means. 116 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: He was pretty productive. 117 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: He's with a young quarterback, he's with a team that 118 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 4: got to the Super super Bowl, and now the team 119 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 4: doesn't you know, doesn't bite. I'd want to know why. 120 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: Well, the cap hit is almost seventeen million, which so 121 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 1: you is a strictly. 122 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: A financial thing. 123 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: So if it's a financial thing, then then okay, then 124 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 4: it would get back to looking at the tape. I 125 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 4: think he's been a very good player in the league. 126 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: I didn't like what he did in Buffalo with the 127 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 4: Josh Allen thing, even though they both sort of played 128 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 4: it off. But I think I think Stefan Diggs is 129 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 4: very talented. And if he can still play at that 130 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: level and you feel like his head's right and he's 131 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: going to assimilate into your locker room, then yeah, I'd 132 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 4: have to seriously consider that. 133 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: Well, he has a relationship with Davis Webb from their 134 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: time of Buffalo, so that's that's kind of the natural 135 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: tie here too. Now when Stefan and by the way, 136 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 1: shout out to Anthony Rodd, who actually asked him at 137 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl during media. He asked him like, what 138 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 1: was your che Actually, you know we have that sound. 139 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,039 Speaker 1: I'll go ahead and play this here. This is what 140 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: Anthony rod chatting with us to on digs out of 141 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: the super Bowl. 142 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 5: I just got a good relationship with somebody that's one 143 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 5: of this family. He was using Buffalo so Gas. He 144 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 5: taught me to offense in Buffalo. He spend a lot 145 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 5: of time with me, so it was closed. But just 146 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 5: like everything, you know, we were just trying to figure 147 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 5: it out. So for me, I mean, I played all 148 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 5: the teams that I was I was doing there Over 149 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,559 Speaker 5: said he played never played Houston. I was in Houston before, 150 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 5: so you know from my experience with gout, like I 151 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: learned from experience, look at all that, Like, I could 152 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 5: have still been in Houston if I never got hurt. 153 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 2: I could have still been in Houston. 154 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 5: If I didn't chase whatever the language in our contract 155 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 5: from my three years to a point yere like a lot. 156 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: Of things could be different. 157 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 5: I don't think nothing happens. 158 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 2: I was said, were there any additional factors? 159 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 5: Maybe playing with bone Nicks, is that something he maybe 160 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 5: thought about doing. I was just thinking about the overall. 161 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 5: I think Sean Payton bonis is health in quarterback. Don't 162 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 5: get don't get me wrong, but I think Sean Payton 163 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 5: I got a lot of respect for him. That's like 164 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 5: that's played college. 165 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: He does altering all the time. 166 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 5: So it was more so like just they had a 167 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,239 Speaker 5: good they had a good situations. They have a great organization. 168 00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 5: We're gonna winning an organization as well. 169 00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: So he brought up before Sean Payton, he brought up 170 00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: Davis Webb, who was now of course the call and 171 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: they had that relationship out there in Buffalo. So it would, 172 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 1: I guess it would come down to Steffan Diggs where 173 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: he's looking at his options. Do you realize? And you 174 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: probably do because every time I ask you, did you realize? 175 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: You already knew these things. So eighty five catches last 176 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: year for Oney, thirteen yards, four touchdowns, eighty five catches 177 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: on one hundred and two targets. That is insane efficiency 178 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,960 Speaker 1: for Swan Diggs doesn't have a lot of drops. So 179 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: my question for you is fits because you're not moving 180 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 1: on from Courtland Sutton. 181 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,360 Speaker 2: He's your guy, he's your ex. 182 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,199 Speaker 1: Okay, let's just or we'll say for argument's sake, no, 183 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 1: I think that's I think that's probably right. Okay, Steffan 184 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: Diggs on the opposite side as your Z, what do 185 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: you think. 186 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 3: Again? 187 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 4: I think you know I've answered. I think it would 188 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 4: depend on what I see on tape. It would depend 189 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 4: on my comfort level with him coming into my locker room. 190 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 4: Is he a guy that, you know what you don't 191 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: want what coaches? I think at any level, but certainly 192 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: in the NFL. I mean, you can rupture your locker 193 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: room chemistry if you bring a couple, two or three 194 00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 4: of the wrong kind of guys. 195 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 2: So your biggest hurdle will be the more the personality 196 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 2: and life. 197 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: I would just and I'm not I'm not suggesting that 198 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: I know that Stefon Diggs is not a good locker 199 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: room guy, because I do not. 200 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 3: I thought. I thought there were times in. 201 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 4: Buffalo that he acted out a little bit, and and listen, 202 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: times are different now, and that's sort of what wide 203 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: receivers do from time to time in the NFL. If 204 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 4: they if and not get in the ball, they're pissed 205 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 4: about it, and they can show their emotions on the 206 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 4: sideline and do all those all those. 207 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 2: Things a little bit. 208 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: I mean I wanted the ball to right and and 209 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 4: probably gestured from time to time on the field, you know, 210 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 4: But I just want to make sure about that. And 211 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 4: then i'd want make sure that, I mean, hell is 212 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 4: Stefon Diggs now thirty. 213 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: He will be thirty three in November. 214 00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: Okay, so he's gonna be thirty three this year. So 215 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: I'd want him for a couple I want to make 216 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 4: sure that I feel good about where he is physically 217 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: and hous his body and he is he a guy 218 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 4: that we know really grinds and he takes care of himself, 219 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 4: and he's he's a weight room guy, and all those 220 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 4: things that you know sometimes sort of fly into the 221 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 4: radar with fans, they don't fly into the radar with 222 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: with NFL brass. I want to know those things. 223 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: So more so than his on field fits, because you 224 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: think from an on field like from what I think, he's. 225 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: A very good player. I think he's a very good player. 226 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,040 Speaker 4: He's he still has just watching him again, I haven't 227 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: I haven't watched tape on him. Tape is everything, but 228 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 4: watching him on TV, he still has a burst. He 229 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 4: made a catch in the game against Houston. Wait yep, 230 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 4: against Houston in tough weather conditions that I thought, Wow, 231 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 4: that was a nice catch. 232 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 3: So yeah, it looks like he can still play. 233 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,079 Speaker 4: I just you know, and teams before they signed somebody, 234 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 4: they're going to evaluate all of their game film and 235 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,200 Speaker 4: they're going to talk to guys in the previous staff 236 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 4: that they're friends with, and what kind of locker room 237 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 4: guy is he? 238 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 3: What about his work habits. 239 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 4: They're going to talk to anybody they know that has 240 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 4: been close to Diggs as a player. 241 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: What's he like? 242 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 4: What does he bring not only on the field, but 243 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: off the field in the locker room? 244 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: What's his work ethic like? 245 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 4: Is he a guy that we want to put into 246 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,199 Speaker 4: our locker room? 247 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: Okay, then listen on the locker room is probably the 248 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: biggest deal. I do feel if Davis web is pounding 249 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,199 Speaker 1: the table for him, which I think is part of 250 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: the reason why that it maybe got close last year, 251 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: is Davis Webb, who's the quarterbacks coach now, the offensive 252 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: coordinators we've talked about. It feels like it feels like 253 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: the sort of splash you can do. We're talking about 254 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: that but not have to pay as much. 255 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 4: For what is the what's the projected number for Stefan 256 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 4: David question? 257 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: Let me look that up real quick. 258 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: My guess is gonna be around ten, Like you're gonna 259 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 1: you know, basically, maybe it's a two year deal, but 260 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: it's a one year deal, you know what I'm saying, 261 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: Like everything will be paid out this year if he's 262 00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: If he's good this year, you cap him for two. 263 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 2: If he's not, he's gone after this. 264 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: But I just I sort of like it too, because 265 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: you're picking at thirty. Like I've been arguing with Broncos 266 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: fans all day on what the Broncos should be looking 267 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: at pick thirty, and they have this in their minds 268 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: that you can get a high quality wide receiver one 269 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: there at pick thirty. And I just I think you 270 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 1: can get a good receiver if that's really what you 271 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 1: target there at thirty, But I don't think you're gonna 272 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,200 Speaker 1: get a player that can impact your team the way 273 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 1: like Stefan Diggs could do, right, I don't think that 274 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 1: that exists at pick thirty. But for some reason, Broncos 275 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: fans like, no, no, no, you're in a window. You have 276 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: to take a player that can be an immediate impact guy, 277 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: And I'm like, I mean, you're winning at thirty. 278 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: You have no idea who's going to be available to you. 279 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say, I agree that you're in a 280 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,240 Speaker 4: window here with bo and I think you have to 281 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 4: have a guy. You'd love a guy to come in 282 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 4: that has an immediate positive impact on your team. You'd 283 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: be more likely to get that from a guy like 284 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 4: Diggs if everything that I mentioned previously sort of added 285 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: up in your formula. And I don't disagree with you. 286 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 4: I mean, I think you can find it's the art 287 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 4: of the draft. And again I said this before, I 288 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 4: think George has been really good for the most part. 289 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 4: I think Key and Sean worked well together. 290 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 3: And so. 291 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 4: But I do think running back and receiver and linebacker, 292 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 4: in no particular order, free agency and the draft, those 293 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 4: three positions are what the Broncos have to go out 294 00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: and try to fix. 295 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm with you, and I don't argue against that concept. 296 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: But you're not going to enter the draft with massive 297 00:13:59,160 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 1: holes in your roster. 298 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 2: You just you just don't do that. Most mean, well, 299 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:02,640 Speaker 2: you're not. 300 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 1: You're not entering the draft with as you just laid 301 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,959 Speaker 1: out those positions saying, we desperately need a running back, 302 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: we desperately need an inside linebacker, we desperately need tight end, 303 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: or you know you're not you're not going to go 304 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 1: into the draft. I expect them to sign a free 305 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: agent tight end. Expect him to sign a free agent 306 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: side linebacker, a free agent running back. And I said receiver, 307 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: I was referring to tight end. Sure, yeah, I knew 308 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: what you meant. But I'm saying, like, you're not going 309 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 1: to be their pick thirty. Well, like, boy, we better 310 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: have Kenyon Sadiks fall to us here or else we're 311 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,840 Speaker 1: not going to get a tight end. You know, like 312 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: that that doesn't exist. That's not how they're going to 313 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: be viewing this thing. So for me, it's it's it 314 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 1: is more of a VPA. It is more of a 315 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: taking a player that you view as a as a 316 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: two contract player, as somebody that can impact your team 317 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: not only this year, but you believe he can be 318 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 1: a starter as soon as next year. 319 00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 4: I think generally speaking, that is wise, that's sort of 320 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 4: a wise way to look at it. I think there's 321 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 4: a little bit more of away from the best player 322 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 4: available and let's fill this hole and this hole. 323 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 3: And I'm not saying you're going to. 324 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 4: Take a guy that you have projected to be in 325 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: the bottom end of the second round, You're going to 326 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: take him at the bottom end of the first round. 327 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that, but again, the bow Knicks contract, 328 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 4: the window of that contract, you know, the next two 329 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: seasons you got to make hay because everything is going 330 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 4: to change, I think, and not everything, but things are 331 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: going to change when you've got to sit down with 332 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 4: that quarterback and negotiate a hefty raise and I'm I'm 333 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 4: guessing the bow is going to continue to ascend and 334 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 4: play well and you're going to feel very comfortable you 335 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 4: have the quarterback of the future. And if he has 336 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 4: another year this year and then the Broncos go to 337 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: the playoffs and by all accounts you look at these 338 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 4: numbers and say, yeah, that's the guy, then you probably 339 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 4: start to open discussions early after this year because you 340 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 4: legally can, and maybe maybe maybe you can get a 341 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: little bit of a sweetheart deal by doing it that quickly. 342 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 4: But if you don't do it after this season, you 343 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 4: certainly have to do it after his fourth season. 344 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 3: Very true. 345 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 4: So it's I mean, things are going to change when 346 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,040 Speaker 4: you have to give those type numbers or that type 347 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 4: number to bow Knicks. 348 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to further drive home my point, but again, 349 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: I can't help it. 350 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: I really think you are. 351 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 1: This is exactly why you take the best player available 352 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 1: because then you have cost controlled contracts that you can 353 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: disperse amongst the rest of the roster when you have 354 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: to pay bo Nicks. So that's why taking a safety 355 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 1: at pick thirty, though that sounds like you got to 356 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: eat your vegetables or take it even offensive tackle at 357 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: pick thirty, it is not a problem for me because 358 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: I look at it from a still not a project. 359 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 3: For you because you're not making the pick. 360 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 4: Your theory on best player available, I think is smart 361 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 4: football analysis. You want to be that crew, and sometimes 362 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,720 Speaker 4: you're going to take a player that people are going 363 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 4: to say, wow, I didn't realize they were looking at 364 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 4: that position, like last year with Jade barn Now, let's 365 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 4: hope the Jade has a season this upcoming year that 366 00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 4: everybody says, Okay, now I see, I see what they saw, 367 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 4: And I still think Baron's going to be a good player. 368 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: But here's where I think your logic in this case 369 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: is not completely sound because you want to maximize what 370 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 4: next year and the year after can look. And you 371 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 4: have to get better on offense quickly. And so if 372 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 4: you took a wide resuve, maybe take a tight end 373 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: at thirty and you say, well that that would preclude us, 374 00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 4: because we've got a we've got a contract now as 375 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 4: a first round draft choice. We're going to have four 376 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 4: plus one, and so we're going to have, you know, 377 00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:54,360 Speaker 4: we control his his cap situation. That's true. But if 378 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 4: that guy doesn't come in next year or the year 379 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:02,920 Speaker 4: after and really make your offense more explosive, which they 380 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 4: need desperately, then it's not all that great a pick. 381 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 4: It might be a great pick for three four, four 382 00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 4: years down the road, but your entire team is gonna 383 00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 4: look different because three four years down the road, bo 384 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 4: Nix is gonna have a huge contract, and there's gonna 385 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 4: be guys that are gonna be just like Stefan Diggs. 386 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:26,119 Speaker 4: They're gonna be like, well, we can't keep everybody. We 387 00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 4: got to start getting rid of guys. I love, and 388 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 4: I love this time of year. 389 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 3: I know that. 390 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,399 Speaker 1: So sometimes it's a bit of a grind to talk drafts, 391 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: especially here. What is this March fourth bit off? We 392 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: got like a month and a half bit of a 393 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: almost two months. God, but I look forward to these debates. 394 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 1: I look for to these I don't know if you're 395 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: gonna be able to sway me, but I you know, again, 396 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,359 Speaker 1: you you might know. 397 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 4: It just depends on It just depends on, like who 398 00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 4: do you trust and what do you trust? 399 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,639 Speaker 2: That's all I do, trust you. 400 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: I think you get a little sideways on some of 401 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:03,439 Speaker 1: the particulars here, but I. 402 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 3: Think we're pretty much sideways on well. 403 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: I just you know, what are we what do we give. 404 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 3: You an example? 405 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 1: Well, perfect example right there. What do you think you're 406 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,640 Speaker 1: getting at the thirty that will suddenly be I. 407 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 4: Never said that, no doubt, no, no, no, no, you're 408 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 4: very good at this, but you're putting words in my 409 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 4: mouth that do not exist. I never said you're getting 410 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 4: somebody at thirty that's going to be impactful. I said, 411 00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,160 Speaker 4: that's the reason why you move away a little bit 412 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,920 Speaker 4: from best player available. You said best player available because 413 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 4: it controls that contract of a rookie, which it does. 414 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,720 Speaker 4: My point is you better get a couple of dudes 415 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 4: that can come in and immediately impact the Broncos offense, 416 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,639 Speaker 4: and normally speaking, that is not a rookie. 417 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,000 Speaker 3: That's a free agent acquisition. 418 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: Well on the s page, Well. 419 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 3: Then look at you. You came around to my site. 420 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,399 Speaker 2: That's what that's. That's what that is. 421 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: Yes, it is hey, real quick here before we hit 422 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: the brake, and we're going to get back to we're 423 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:00,399 Speaker 1: talking about some good news for them Nuggets. 424 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: Theyve got some great news today.

They performed in front of the 440 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: super Bowl. Yeah, still relevant, still kicking. 441 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: Yeah. 442 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 2: Anyways, I do want to get some good news with 443 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: the Nuggets. 444 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 3: What Day? 445 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 2: I love how you you earnestly asked that question? That 446 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 2: was so great? You still like them? And then as 447 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: soon as you look at my face. 448 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 3: As I said it, I'm like, God, that's just dumb. 449 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: Of course that's I don't have a poster in my 450 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: room anymore. No of Green Day, not like Dort poster 451 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,360 Speaker 1: you got. It's got to be the Dort's got to be. 452 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 3: Drawn out like Dort. 453 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 4: What do you think of Lou Dort knocking with cheap Show? 454 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 4: I didn't I'll tell you one thing. And again, you know, 455 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:40,080 Speaker 4: we watched, we watched the game, and this is probably 456 00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: a byproduct of years and years of stuff, but I 457 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,679 Speaker 4: didn't like the Nuggets reaction when Joker went down. Joker 458 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:56,600 Speaker 4: got up and went right at Lou Dort, And I mean, 459 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:02,280 Speaker 4: that's the franchise on the ground. And if you didn't 460 00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: see it, if you were running in a court or whatever, 461 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: well then when you look up and see the jumbo tron. 462 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 3: It's like, Okay, Now, maybe maybe. 463 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 4: Lou Dort just has the kind of respect and nobody 464 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 4: really wants to mess with him. 465 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 3: I could, I could see that. I don't know that 466 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,679 Speaker 3: to be true, but I just didn't like. 467 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 4: I mean, Christian Brown got in a little bit and 468 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 4: tried to grab I mean, Cam Johnson just sort of 469 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 4: stood there. I want guys like, say, bro, I'll tell 470 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 4: you what, next time you come to the basket, your 471 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,200 Speaker 4: head's gonna get taken off. 472 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,239 Speaker 3: And I know, I know in the NBA today you 473 00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 3: can't really do that. 474 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: But that's your that's your that's your guy that just 475 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 4: got cheap shotted to the floor. 476 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 1: We'll see what kind of repercussions. He came out after today, 477 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,920 Speaker 1: by the way, and said that he was wrong, and 478 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: he he was. 479 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 3: I think he plays hard, yeah, I think. 480 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: I think I think officials let him get away with 481 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 4: a lot because he's he's established a reputation of being 482 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 4: a really aggressive, physical, defensive player, and I think he 483 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 4: gets away with stuff that other players don't. But I 484 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: admire his tenacity and he plays hard, which I like. 485 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 4: But I did not like that shot at all. 486 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:13,440 Speaker 2: I didn't like it either. And was so remarkable. 487 00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 1: Is the debate whether it should have been a flagrant 488 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,959 Speaker 1: two because it was deservedly a flagrant two. 489 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 2: And but but even his coach Mark. 490 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: Dagnall came out after the fact saying, like, I didn't 491 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,479 Speaker 1: understand why it was a flagrant two, Like maybe if 492 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,720 Speaker 1: you want to retroactively called a flagrant one. He's like, 493 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 1: but I don't think he was intentionally trying to hurt him. 494 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 1: But then lu Door came out today saying, no, no, I need. 495 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 3: To be better. 496 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 2: That was absolutely on me. Yeah, he's like, I I 497 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:38,280 Speaker 2: sort of lost my head. 498 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, which, look, looking back at the game, I think 499 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: Dort saw Joker. 500 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,720 Speaker 3: If you if you go back and look at that 501 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: exchange at. 502 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 4: The at the end of when I don't remember who 503 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 4: on Oklahoma, they scored Joker, And it was a frustrating 504 00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:58,639 Speaker 4: time for the Nuggets because they weren't they were starting 505 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:00,880 Speaker 4: to lose control of the game. They were playing very well, 506 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:05,320 Speaker 4: and Joker kind of shoved a quick two handed shove 507 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 4: of a player like run under the basket, and I 508 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 4: didn't knock him down, but he gave him like a 509 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 4: two handed like jolt of a player. And I think 510 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 4: Dort saw that and didn't particularly like it and then 511 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 4: just reacted in inappropriate way. 512 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,360 Speaker 2: Well it was dirty, and I have since taken down 513 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 2: my post. 514 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, decision, decision had to be made and. 515 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 4: Oh no, I still rooting for Oklahoma City, right or 516 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 4: or is it Minnesota? 517 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:39,600 Speaker 3: Or is it? Is it both? 518 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 4: I can't remember. From day to day. It sort of 519 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 4: switches up a little bit. Or watch maybe now you 520 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: put the Green Day poster up. 521 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: We're watching the Thunder in the studio here, so of course, yeah, 522 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 1: of course, yeah, no. 523 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 2: I I am Mauriey for the Nuggets from from from 524 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 2: day one. 525 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 3: Yep. 526 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 4: I don't want the Nuggets to have to play the 527 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 4: timber wol. 528 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:02,480 Speaker 3: God. 529 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,800 Speaker 4: I was thinking about you whatever day they played. 530 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: Him Sunday and yeah, like, uh this dude, tomorrow. 531 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: They lost the Thunder on Friday and then they lose 532 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: to the Minnesota Timberwolves at home on Sunday. 533 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, not a good weekend for Dave No. 534 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 1: Not a good weekend for Dave No. But good news 535 00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: on the horizon. Eric Gordon expected to make his return 536 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: on Friday. He's not going to play tomorrow night. He's 537 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 1: already been ruled out, but possibility of Friday. I think 538 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:32,880 Speaker 1: we've talked about this and we'll continue to talk about 539 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 1: it as they march to the playoffs. Health is number 540 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: one thing, like whatever you got. Just in fact, I 541 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,399 Speaker 1: would as easy as you can make this thing. So 542 00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: I doubt he starts. Imagine they'll bring him off the bench. 543 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 1: He needs to be right for the playoffs so that 544 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: I don't think they have a chance for sure. 545 00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 4: I mean, that's that's you don't have to be the 546 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 4: smartest guy in the room to come to that conclusion. 547 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 4: He's he's a key to everything they do. And I 548 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,560 Speaker 4: still think if they can get him and Watson back 549 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 4: somehow unlock cam Johnson, which is the tougher of those 550 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 4: three wishes, because Gordon is gonna heal up and be 551 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 4: able to play, and you suspect that Watson will heal 552 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 4: up with his hamstring and he'll be able to play. 553 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 4: But Cam Johnson is more of a mental thing. If 554 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 4: you can get anything from him, and again, hopefully Christian 555 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 4: Brown can develop a little sense of confidence in terms 556 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 4: of shooting the ball. You can almost see him thinking 557 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: when the ball swings around and he's got an open 558 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 4: look from three, there's just a slight hesitation, and you 559 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,639 Speaker 4: just have to shoot it and you have to have 560 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 4: the confidence since going in and we've seen him, he's 561 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 4: always been kind of. 562 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 3: A streaky shooter. But they need him, and. 563 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 4: You know, David Edelman, I think did a good job 564 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 4: of pointing that out after the Utah game, because Utah 565 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 4: sort of said, hey, we're not gonna let Jokic beat 566 00:26:57,920 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 4: us if we have to put two guys on him 567 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: all the time time and just leave somebody else open. 568 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 3: We'll just take our chances on that. 569 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 4: And there was hesitation from time to time from guys 570 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 4: that get open. Looks you you have to be able 571 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,600 Speaker 4: to fight through that and shoot it with confidence and 572 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 4: know that it's going in. And if it doesn't go in, 573 00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 4: you got to have a really quick memory and say 574 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,159 Speaker 4: I've already forgotten about that, and the next time you 575 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: get that opportunity, knock it down. But I think if 576 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 4: the Nuggets get healthy, I still like their chances very 577 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 4: very much. And I know Oak City is tough and 578 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 4: Minnesota is tough, but I like their chances in the West. 579 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 2: Of course, you remember that name. You're welcome, David King. David. 580 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 2: I mean, I'm just saying it's a very popular name. 581 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,640 Speaker 4: It's a very means in the Bible, not necessarily because 582 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 4: my name is David, but David means but love it, 583 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 4: read your Bible or not. 584 00:27:57,240 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: I'll get right on that. 585 00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, Communists pray. 586 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: Oh like hoth me. 587 00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 3: They do. 588 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: I think tomorrow of the show, Rick Lewis is going 589 00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 1: to join us. That should be a lot of fun. 590 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 3: As always look forward to seeing Rick. 591 00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 1: Somebody asked them the question, and I are on the 592 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 1: text line. I asked a question on the text line. 593 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 1: A lot of people are calling for Adelman's head after 594 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: this season. What do you think about the job David 595 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 1: Adelman has done. 596 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: I like David Adelman and I think he's I think 597 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 4: it's unfair to evaluate him this season because he said 598 00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,800 Speaker 4: so many injuries. I think so too right, and it's 599 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 4: not historically when you think about the Kronky Empire and 600 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 4: Josh running the Nuggets, I mean they they they don't 601 00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:54,600 Speaker 4: strike me as an impestuous ownership group. 602 00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 3: They don't, you know. 603 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 4: They they sit back, they evaluate, they take their time 604 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 4: to make the decision. I really think Adaman is a 605 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:08,080 Speaker 4: good coach, honestly, I do. I like his demeanor. I 606 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 4: think he holds players accountable, which can be tough to do. 607 00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:14,040 Speaker 4: I would guess in the NBA today because of the salaries, 608 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 4: but I don't think you can. I mean, sooner or 609 00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,000 Speaker 4: later you're valued and how many games you win, how 610 00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 4: many games you lose. I get that, But this year 611 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 4: there have been just so many injuries that I think 612 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 4: I would say, no, he is not in danger of 613 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: losing his job, nor if I were making the decision, 614 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 4: would I fire him. 615 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 2: I wouldn't either. 616 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 1: I think there's been some frustrating moments with some of 617 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: the rotations and leaving guys in a little longer maybe 618 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 1: than you should. But I think that's some of that 619 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: learning on the job, especially not having your full roster 620 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:45,120 Speaker 1: available to or even close to it. 621 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 2: That this year has especially. 622 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: Been trying with injuries, as we've talked about a lot, 623 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,520 Speaker 1: so I want to see it could be disappointing you 624 00:29:53,520 --> 00:29:56,760 Speaker 1: if they there are one and done, certainly, especially with 625 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,680 Speaker 1: as talented as this roster is. But on the other 626 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 1: side of it, I'd give him at least another year 627 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: just to see if he can kind of work through 628 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:07,239 Speaker 1: some of the things that seemed to be problematic in 629 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 1: his rookie season. 630 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,200 Speaker 2: By the way, I want to quickly shout out O 631 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 2: Nicks and is he Nix? 632 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: I mean the first kid, a daughter born on Boonix's birthday. 633 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:22,000 Speaker 4: Riley, Yep, congratulations, yep, very very that is real cool. 634 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,280 Speaker 2: As you and I can both attest being a girl. 635 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 3: Dad got you. 636 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 2: This is pretty cool. 637 00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:25,320 Speaker 3: You bet you
