1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: A great job with Lapanta yesterday. By the way, Oh,

2
00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: thank you helped me with this. So the Wild, so

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: we get called and maybe I heard it the wrong

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: way and I should have looked it up. I'm good morning. Uh. So,

5
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:18,760
Speaker 1: so we get Dallas or Colorado first in the I mean,

6
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: that's for sure what the round one of the postseason

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: looks like for the Minnesota Wild.

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's it's all, but it's all but sewed up.

9
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 2: So I'm scrambling to find the standings right now. I

10
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: thought we were we were nine back of Colorado with

11
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 2: and then two more games played as well, So I

12
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 2: mean that's that's a heavy burden to try and trace,

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: you know, track them down at this stage. But but Dallas,

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 2: it kind of feels the way the way that we're

15
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: in right now. So let me see here, we're five

16
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: or six short of Dallas, so we are oh just

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: three excuse me, and they're six short of Colorado.

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: So yes, uh, the spot we're in.

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Unless we win the Central we will have to play

20
00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 2: a division rival. And so at this stage it looks

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 2: almost guaranteed whether we go to Dallas game one or

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: they come up here, that's yet to be determined, but

23
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: feels like us in Dallas from a points perspective, and

24
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 2: just not enough games left on the schedule to really chase,

25
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: chase a bigger prize.

26
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: Damn, what's play Hoggy? I especially liked how the hair

27
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Apparent laid out the playing style it takes for the

28
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: Minnesota Wild to win in the postseason and the lower

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: scoring games aspect. It was off that Tampa Bay victory.

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: That was pretty cool.

31
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's and for that, you know, whether it's

32
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: it's the penalty kill, it's winning face offs and big spots,

33
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 2: getting the chance to learn more and we will once

34
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: he's in a sweater and playing games for us. But

35
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: like Michael McCarron, what does he bring to the mix, Well,

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: he's like six six, two thirties, a freaking giant on

37
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: the ice, but winning the zone, face offs, killing penalties.

38
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: What we saw from from Hinzi's group in the Olympics.

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 2: Can we can we capture some of that magic with

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 2: our favorite team. Special teams matter in the postseason and

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: for a large part really of these last seven what

42
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 2: is it six seven to eight postseason appearances with first

43
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: round exits, A lot of those you could sum up

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 2: with issues related to killing penalties, finding that goal with

45
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: the man advantage, and winning some of those closer contested games.

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 2: The special teams matter in those cases, certainly, Tinze Heinsey,

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: it's time to drop the pot. Yeah, the wild haven't

48
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 2: won a playoff series in a decade. Finchy, Finchy, the

49
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: Wolves keep getting killed a step from the NBA finals,

50
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: and the Vikings haven't won a playoff game since before

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: the pandemic.

52
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: Now the Wolves. I feel comfortable in saying the Wolves

53
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: will win at least a playoff series this year. So

54
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: if that's accurate. Two witches to be scratched are the

55
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: hockey and the football teams. Caprisov obvious listud. They may

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 1: have the best six deep blue line group in the game.

57
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: Hughesy is amazing. You traded a lot for him, and

58
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Boldi Baldy is winning in the postseason from edging closer

59
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: to top tennis, top fifteen ish in for players in

60
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: the league conversation, and all that just cannot get bounced

61
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: in round one. So I'm thinking all that yesterday and

62
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 1: after watching the Tampa Bay win the night before, and

63
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: then I hear hair apparent be like, well, it's gonna

64
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: be Colorado or Dallas. I'm like, damn, it feels like

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: we've had a dramatically better season than that that that

66
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 1: you should catch some team, some l from the Pacific,

67
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: that's like at the bottom of the West, you know, yeah,

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: and it's is this an aberration?

69
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 2: It's kind of the same way anytime a you know,

70
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: whether it was a seven and nine team or a

71
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 2: seven and ten team or an eight and nine team

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: in the NFL, they make the playoffs because they're a

73
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 2: division winner, right, and then you have that conversation of, well,

74
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: we shouldn't have division winners anymore. That's not fair that

75
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: this eight to nine team wins their awful division they

76
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 2: get to host a playoff game, and some ten win

77
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: team that's been grinding it out for a wildcard spot

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: they get bounced for this.

79
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: That's preposterous.

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: Well, similarly, in the NHL, I think we're in a

81
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: spot this year where seeing three of the best teams

82
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: in the NHL all vying for one division title, meaning

83
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 2: that the other two will have to duke it out

84
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: in round one and you're gonna leave the first round

85
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: of the postseason without I know, we're wild focused here,

86
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 2: We're Wild Rubes, but legitimately as an NHL fan, if

87
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,719
Speaker 2: you bounce the Stars, the freaking Stars are one of

88
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: the elite teams in the NHL and they take the

89
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: l round one, you're thinking, well, that's not good for hockey.

90
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: Is this an aberration? Do we want to overreact.

91
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 2: To this year's situation or is it potentially something we're

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: going to be seeing for multiple years to come, therefore

93
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 2: changing the way we look at the playoff format as

94
00:04:59,120 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 2: it is today.

95
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Wild Joe Radio Joe Wild Joe O'Donnell, the play by

96
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 1: play voice on the radio for the Minnesota Wild. We

97
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: will hear him tomorrow night calling a game against the

98
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: Vegas Golden Knights from the seven oh two, and he

99
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: joins nine to noon today about twenty five minutes from now.

100
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: So help me with this. For the Vikings, it seems

101
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: the at least following things online, am I inaccurate when

102
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: it comes to other people's sourcing, backgrounding, opinions and things

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: like that. The two most probable options to join the

104
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: Covenant as a quarterback would be Kyler Murray or Kirk Cousins.

105
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: Talented and skilled and cheap, but maybe not as cheap

106
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: as I thought trying to get to the bottom of

107
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: this Kirk Cousins money situations like trying to break into

108
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: Fort Knox. So it is the steam from the right people.

109
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: He is the steam from the right people leading to

110
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: either Kyler or Kirk here and good morning and good morning. Yeah,

111
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: yes it is. There are other names as part of

112
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: that conversation.

113
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: But man, dude from Tuesday when we did the talker

114
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: Tuesday bit PA and it's like, hey, what if I

115
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 2: told you Kyler Murray is going to be added to

116
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: the squad that was timed and we had all those talkbacks.

117
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: Well maybe it was a little bit early premature. In

118
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: fact is later that day you hear from the Cardinals

119
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: they will be releasing him.

120
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: He puts out on social media.

121
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: His goodbye post, and then ever since then it's been

122
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 2: well that's I mean, everyone wants to play for Kevin O'Connell.

123
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 1: It's very clear. I get told at the combine, as

124
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: I told you Tuesday, by somebody who knows him, that

125
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: he wants to play for the Vikings. Yeah, and and

126
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: well he grew up. I think he grew up a

127
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Vikings fan.

128
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: And you can even I bet you can go back

129
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: and find him they're still on X slash Formula Twitter.

130
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: When he was a baby wearing a game warn Brett.

131
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: Far for I think he was like cheering for Adrian

132
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 2: Peterson and the Vit like just a cute little Kyler's

133
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: on X like.

134
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: There go Vikings go down for twenty eight. Yeah, all day,

135
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: all day.

136
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: But so that's been so hot. And then additionally, whether

137
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: it's it's Kirk Cousins. So my source I Ben Gessling

138
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 2: Star Tribune a long text that I'm not going to read,

139
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 2: and it's a totality right now, there's some offset dollars.

140
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: Oh, he got back with the money help for chains.

141
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 1: He wrote a small novella. He probably you know what

142
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: it probably what he did because he was annoyed with me.

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: Maybe he's like a writer.

144
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 2: He just copy and pasted into the text something from

145
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 2: his most recent article that probably clearly explained everything.

146
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: So but thank you to Ben for reaching out.

147
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: There are some offset dollars somewhere in there in the

148
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: ten to twelve million dollar range with the Falcons maybe,

149
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: and so you could then sign Kirk to a bit

150
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: cheaper deal as well.

151
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: But that find a bit cheaper of Kyler Murray's league

152
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: minimum terrorism. Well, I don't. You're not going to get

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: cheaper than that, I don't think.

154
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 2: And what what would what would kirk cousin at this

155
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 2: stage of his career demand. I mean, if he's going

156
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: to demand twenty million dollars, will you offset that?

157
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: Right?

158
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 2: And I mean now you're talking eight, ten, twelve million

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: out of pocket. If he's going to demand anything less

160
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: than than that ten million, that would be offset then

161
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 2: by the Falcons effectively, then you're you're paying him league minimum.

162
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 2: So I wonder what that dollar amount looks like Kirka.

163
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 2: Kirk's always made sure that he gets market rate, so

164
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 2: I wonder what that costs. But in the end, all

165
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 2: of these are potential options. Yes, your steam rolling and such,

166
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 2: and you know, you're you're as dialed in as anybody.

167
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 2: You're you're very much over the target in terms of

168
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 2: what this conversation and what this rats nest has looked like.

169
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 1: The Vikes and free agents quarterback scenario I believe could

170
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: go multiple ways. However, I believe, while believing myriad options

171
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: are in play, I've kind of settled into Kyler and Kirk,

172
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 1: and of course I believe they absolutely have a strike

173
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 1: plan and of a lot all of the free agent

174
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for preference, but that there's nary a one. I

175
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 1: believe you can look at, look at and not have concerns. Now,

176
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: I mean you could have said that about Sam Darnold

177
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 1: too into the twenty twenty four season. But like thinking

178
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: about all of the names and looking at all of

179
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: the or perceiving or recalling positives and negatives, meshing it

180
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: with this team here, I mean through it all, I

181
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: kind of come back to Kirk Cousins, and he plays

182
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: the way the coach wants the quarterback to play. Arm

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: talent still high end, wants to be here. I would

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: imagine does he know the playbook? And is is? I

185
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,200
Speaker 1: would think is the right one to be in the

186
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: room with the kid He's going to pass, So, I

187
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: mean he knows how to protect himself at the stage

188
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: of his career. So is changed the one for us?

189
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 1: Or I wouldn't I wouldn't limit the tenure here either

190
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 1: to be like just one and done for sure? So like,

191
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 1: is Chain's the one for nine to noon? Is it? Kyler?

192
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: Is it?

193
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: Geno was thirty to one and all the sharps betting

194
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 1: down to six to twenty. Surgeon on the outside is

195
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: the is the potential trade for a mac Jones by

196
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: anybody completely dead or so quiet, because it's absolutely gonna happen,

197
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:34,680
Speaker 1: right somehow, someway somewhere with somebody has nine to noon

198
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: settled in on change.

199
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: It feel it feels like the quietest one is don't

200
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 2: forget about mac Jones if no one's talking about it.

201
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: I mean, through all this, we're gonna hear Monday or Tuesday,

202
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,360
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson's gonna come in to compete with JJ McCarthy

203
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,600
Speaker 1: if if it's changed yesterday.

204
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: I just kind of framed it up when I was

205
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 2: filling in for you a week Togo. I'm not saying

206
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 2: that this is exactly what I want to happen, but

207
00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: for me, it kind of fel feels like with the

208
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 2: steam Roll and it's Kyler or it's Gino, and these

209
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: mean different things. And you can swap out Gino with Kirk,

210
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: by the way, because I think there's there's a similar

211
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: meaning there if you go with Kirk, if you go

212
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: with Gino Smith. But let's let's focus on chains love

213
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: chains love Kirk same. It's a bridge to JJ McCarthy,

214
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 2: and whether it's one year or it's two years. As

215
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 2: you mentioned, I agree, it's not necessarily a one year deal,

216
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: but certainly a shorter term.

217
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: So if it's Kyler, it ain't a bridge. It ain't

218
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: a bridge, it's something different. It's a plank. Yeah, and

219
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: it ain't Kyler walking off it. That is correct. That's

220
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: how I view it at this stage. If it's Kyler,

221
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 1: if the Vikings signed Kyler Murray, and if he's their

222
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 1: quarterback next year, ninety three percent McCarthy plays five games

223
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: or more.

224
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,959
Speaker 2: Because of the health related brict. Okay, well, I mean

225
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: that's that's I'm spitballing. Well, he's every other year, right,

226
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: like two years ago. I think he made the dances.

227
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 2: He made all of them, but then that's been bookended.

228
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,840
Speaker 2: Now this last season and then twenty twenty three. Maybe

229
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: played a total of thirteen games or something like that

230
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 2: in those seasons.

231
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: So yes, but maybe playing style would be different. He

232
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,200
Speaker 1: wouldn't run as willy nilly as he has been known

233
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: to run, which means they would be taking a quarterback

234
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 1: who was an incredibly high first round pick and is gifted.

235
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: They would be taking him out of his comfort zone.

236
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: Oh and putting him in the pocket and saying stay there,

237
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: you stay there, don't leave the pocket. And then like

238
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: September and October, we're like, well, yeah, I mean he's

239
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: still learning. He's still learning. He's still learning. Let's be patient.

240
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: He's still learning. Darris Saw and O'Neil are doing great.

241
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 1: The new center's doing great. This guy Donovan's second year fantastic.

242
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 1: But the talkbacks on the Northern Fire talkback Talker Tuesdays

243
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: will be free Kyler. It'll be let Kyler run. It

244
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: used to be let wac cook. Now it's like Kyler run.

245
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: So so, but I'm maybe I'm wrong here. I I

246
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 1: just I just this just needs to and uh yeah

247
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: no it's a it's so, I don't know how.

248
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 2: I don't know how drastically you can change Kyler Murray

249
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: at this stage of his career. And now I'm excited

250
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: that we have liber in because I think liber is

251
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: probably just more locked in former player. As smart as

252
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 2: he is, he could kind of articulate like the differences

253
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 2: in Kyler with a Cliff Kingsbury earlier in his career,

254
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: right tons of shotgun. It's air raid style, trying to

255
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: make college offense look good in the NFL.

256
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: Well, why can't I do that. I always love that one.

257
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: I almost hit you early with that. I didn't like

258
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the Kyler talkback on a Tuesday. I thought it was lazy,

259
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: but it ended up being it ended up it ended

260
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:49,079
Speaker 1: up being prescient. I mean, because it's the it's the

261
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: fat talker right now. It's fat. Man is juicy. It

262
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: is the fat talking It's a juicy talker. Man. I

263
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: just I can't say I ever saw it getting to

264
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: this level. I didn't either, man. But but Kyler, now,

265
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: what what? What is?

266
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 2: What did Drew Petsing do? That's where I was going

267
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 2: with this. What did Drew Petsing maybe do a little

268
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 2: bit differently in recent years? And because I don't I

269
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: if Kyler's going to succeed here, what what has to

270
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 2: be a part of it? Like play action, working a

271
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: little under center now you know that that's in concert

272
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: with the run game, you know, and we can talk

273
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: about that another time.

274
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,040
Speaker 1: But just interested in terms of it's.

275
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: Not old dogs new tricks, but it's kind of aging

276
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 2: dogs new tricks. He's twenty seven to twenty eight now,

277
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:30,200
Speaker 2: he's been kind of set in a in a line

278
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: for for a number of years to jump in here

279
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 2: he would be a project. But he's going to provide

280
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: that accuracy that that Ko is gonna want in his offense.

281
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: The playmaking and the the off the cuff or off

282
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:43,520
Speaker 2: schedule bits.

283
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: Is that going to drive the coach crazy?

284
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 3: Like?

285
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this this thing goes deep, man.

286
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: But but I do think if if it's Kirk that

287
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 2: tells you it's a bridge, if it's Kyler, that's something

288
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 2: much different was Marathon?

289

297
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 1: nine to Noon provided by Steve's Appliances. Well, the key

298
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: with McCarthy for me is if he seems relieved somebody

299
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: else starts that ain't cool, not saying it's going to happen,

300
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: but we don't want that. What we want is JJ

301
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: McCarthy jumping out of his skin and putting coaches in

302
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: a very very tough spot. It's like another year of maturation,

303
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: another year of development, and another year of growth. And

304
00:15:56,600 --> 00:16:00,160
Speaker 1: maybe it's baby Kyler, maybe it's kirkcoa change, maybe it's

305
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: Ginos Smith from under the cover of darkness, or maybe

306
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: it's somebody else. But the a topic for me will

307
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: be McCarthy performing better than he ever has and putting

308
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: coaches in a very difficult spot. This is the This

309
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: is not breaking news, but this is the best opportunity

310
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: of all the open or potentially open jobs, and all

311
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: the veterans know it. So I'm just I'm still trying

312
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: to wrap my mind around like what McCarthy slow with.

313
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, we all watched all the games and all

314
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: the plays, and I don't read as much as other

315
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: people do because I like to formulate my own opinions

316
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: wrong or right. But there are some traits clearly that

317
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 1: he possesses that are giving enough pause to potentially flirt

318
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: with Kirk Kyler or whomever doesn't attack the middle of

319
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: the field enough play leave, play leave, play leave, play leave.

320
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Does does he need to see an

321
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: accomplished vetter do some things in front of him and

322
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 1: learn how to do it, and that's going to fix

323
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: some problems. Nine to now looks forward to the day

324
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: this conundrum is complete and we know the answer, then

325
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: we can formulate opinions on what it's going to look

326
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: like and get to the National Football League draft. Free

327
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: agency begins Monday. The oxymoron, it's the legal tampering Monday.

328
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: And yes, we absolutely believe. Of course they have a

329
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 1: strike plan. Of course they have aligned preferences. But then

330
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: you got the good and the bad, the positives and

331
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: the negatives.

332
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:36,439
Speaker 3: The.

333
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: Genuine things that you enjoy, and some legitimate concerns. So

334
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't This doesn't have to be a

335
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,719
Speaker 1: place where we have to say this is who we

336
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: want and this is who it will be. It's very confusing. Yeah,

337
00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 1: it's very confusing to me. If they'll have me, I'll

338
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: call the games. If it's Kyler, Murray, Kirk, Cousins, Genus,

339
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Max Brosmer or JJ McCarthy or

340
00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz or Joshua Dobbs. But nevertheless, I just think

341
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: this is, like, like I said, of course there's a plan,

342
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,280
Speaker 1: and of course there's an alignment with preferences and sneaky

343
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: stuff that probably has been done in the background to

344
00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: figure out exactly what it's going to look like financially,

345
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: what it's going to look like with key teammates and stuff.

346
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: Find a Noon just wants to know who it is

347
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: so we can subsequently move on from there. Wouldn't you

348
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: agree with you on that? Man?

349
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 2: I mean again, as I was talking about it yesterday,

350
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 2: as we talked about it today, you know, Kirk doesn't

351
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 2: set my hair on fire saying we're going from nine

352
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 2: to fifteen wins. Gino Smith doesn't set my hair on fire.

353
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 2: Wrapping my head around Kyler in itself is difficult a time.

354
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 2: So I just need this thing to just Minnesota Vikings,

355
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: if so compelled next Wednesday, tell us what you're doing,

356
00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: and we're going to figure out how to move forward

357
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 2: and find ways to games based on that.

358
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: So, with National Football League free agency popping up on

359
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: Monday and the league year begins on Wednesday, at ESPN

360
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 1: dot com, it posted a couple of days ago top

361
00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,960
Speaker 1: one hundred NFL free agents according to those compiling the

362
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 1: names and the uh the statistical wherewithal in the opinions

363
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: and stuff like that. Pretty good list. It's a good

364
00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: list if you're looking for names and like the team

365
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 1: for whom they played recently, what their age is, and

366
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 1: what they've done recently. So nine to noon today and

367
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: tomorrow is going to go one by one through this list,

368
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,400
Speaker 1: recognizing we are we are working on a budget. Now.

369
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: That's that's another part of the confusion, another part of

370
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 1: the calamity, the chaos that order has become chaos. When

371
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: will it be order again? Where it's These are reports,

372
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: reports from the right people, though, like the sheefties and

373
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: guestlines and stuff like that. That that Aaron Jones I

374
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,960
Speaker 1: think was the first one, Sharon Jones, Javon Hargrave. Yeah,

375
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 1: we got Seaffert, we got Guestlin, we got Chefty. I

376
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: compiled stuff from them and it was Jones Hargrave. Now

377
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Allen, Jonathan Allen is in the mix. It is

378
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,159
Speaker 1: all right. So those are names that can be added

379
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: to this list, I guess, but not for here. And

380
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: that's the key is is letting other people do what

381
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 1: they do and finding the desires we have here with

382
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: these names on this list list is bally Hood. So

383
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:40,520
Speaker 1: when a name emerges, if you like that name for

384
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: the purple, then say then say desire or cove It

385
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: or con or the Wonderful Wizard of con or juice

386
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: box or stink or stink because I didn't like get

387
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 1: to me because we're working on a budget here. It's

388
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 1: like I went through a bunch of names here and

389
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: there were some eye opening things for me. Don't know

390
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: about you, but for me there were.

391
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 2: Well, are we going to start? My question is are

392
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: we going to start at one? Are we going to

393
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 2: start at one hundred? No, we're starting at one.

394
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: Okay. Trey Hendrickson Cincinnati last year, thirty one years of age,

395
00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: entering the twenty twenty sixth season. Trey Hendrickson is not

396
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,080
Speaker 1: going to be in Minnesota Viking probably not. But here's

397
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 1: the bit. This is key for whom is he going

398
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: to play?

399
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: Like?

400
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 1: Who on our schedule?

401
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

402
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: Yeah? And by the way, who trades Trip McDuffie. Are

403
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: you kidding me with what that move? Who trades Trip McDuffie.

404
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: It's nutty too, And you got two general managers in

405
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 1: Beach and Snead, and Snead and Beach and they know

406
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 1: how to win Super Bowls and the like. When I saw

407
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: that yesterday, I'm like, damn, so veach next level GM

408
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: movements from years ago. He pedals Tyreek Hill to the

409
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:03,600
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins because it's like, you got Patty Mahomes and

410
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,040
Speaker 1: Chris Jones and Travis Kelcey, so you got your MV three,

411
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 1: but you got to pay all of them and others.

412
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 1: So they moved Tyreek Hill, which was a very bold move,

413
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: and used a draft pick from that I believe, to

414
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: get this corner named Trent McDuffie. Yeah. Well, then I

415
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: think they win a Super Bowl with McDuffie and McDuffie's good. Well,

416
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 1: less Snead. He's the one that gave away all of

417
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 1: his draft picks. He did and went and was making

418
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 1: these aggressive trades, got stat Mafford, Jared Goffs in the

419
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: NFC North, and then he wins the Super Bowl, and

420
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: then he goes back to the conventional way of running

421
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: a team, and it's balancing free agency and draft picks. Well,

422
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 1: there's draft picks in rounds three, four, five, and six.

423
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: For the bomb and they're good and they're always good.

424
00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: So when you get those two merchants, I mean those

425
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 1: two on the phone together, Holy cow. Then you come

426
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: up with a top whatever corner in the NFL, Trent

427
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 1: McDuffie and he's going to play for the Rams. And

428
00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:14,159
Speaker 1: then they got a boatload, boatload of picks and stuff.

429
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,600
Speaker 1: Yeah did the Chiefs? How did that happen?

430
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: They're probably in a win now with Stafford, right, and

431
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: they still have By the way, the Rams still have

432
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: the thirteenth overall pick. I think they got that from

433
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: the Falcons, So the twenty ninth must have been their

434
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 2: own but known commodity and McDuffie for a couple of

435
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 2: years before maybe they have to blow the whole thing

436
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 2: up post Stafford. Wow, and you have a known commodity

437
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,200
Speaker 2: with the twenty ninth overall pick versus a draft and

438
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 2: develop in a bleep them picks. Mindset, let's go win

439
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 2: another Super Bowl type of thing. The impressive thing about

440
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: these gms that you're mentioning, whether it's Veitch he got

441
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,959
Speaker 2: out at the right time with Tyreek Hill Boom Snead

442
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 2: wins the Super Bowl in twenty twenty one. He gets

443
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,680
Speaker 2: out at the right time on the Jalen Ramsey's and

444
00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: some of those contracts.

445
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:03,879
Speaker 1: John Snyder just wins the Super Bowl. Well then he

446
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,639
Speaker 1: drafts both those those be feeders in the middle or

447
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: fast and they're emersa Tooby Turner and they have as

448
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: a Nebraska guy or not Nebraska. They Braiden something, Yeah,

449
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: Braiden Fisk, Yes, yeah, right, yeah, yeah, yeah. They've just

450
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: completely revamped via the draft to their their bee feeders

451
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: with speed and to the point now where they can

452
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:25,760
Speaker 1: go and be merchants again. Now they can go trake

453
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: those picks, I mean Diamn.

454
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: But with the Chiefs though, it's interesting because McDuffie high

455
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: end corner. They love this cat. I think it's like

456
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: Jalen Watson or something. He's going to be on this

457
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 2: free agent list. I bet he needs new money. So

458
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: they just traded away one of their starting corners and

459
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 2: this kid they drafted in the seventh round, this Jalen

460
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 2: I think it's Jalen Watson. He's going to be a

461
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:49,159
Speaker 2: free so maybe this is we gotta pay.

462
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,280
Speaker 1: That guy, yeah kind of.

463
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 2: You know, you sign a half billion dollar contract with

464
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 2: your QB, you gotta make.

465
00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: Moves one by one and working on a budget. I

466
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: have four within these one hundred that I've identified that

467
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: I think makes sense here. Oh one of them I

468
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: forgot was a free agent and he's cool. He's old,

469
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: but he's cool. Really to be sweet to have him here,

470
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,240
Speaker 1: To be honest with has he has he been making

471
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: all the dances? I'd have to look at last year, I.

472
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 2: Gotta I gotta admit I'm kind of flinching this time

473
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 2: around with free agency. One of the most one of

474
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: the first things I'm going to look at, PA, did

475
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: they at least play all the games last year?

476
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:35,159
Speaker 1: Debo? And Johnny Paul Debo. We gotta think about it

477
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: a little bit. We got to talk to these that

478
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: we gotta make sure, Like like Trey Hendrickson with the

479
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, Yeah, book ending Aiden Hutchinson, that's a problem. Okay,

480
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: I don't know what their cap deal is. It can't

481
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: be great. But like Trey Hendrickson ending up with the Lions, Yeah,

482
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,160
Speaker 1: that'd be cool. That ain't cool for us, No, it's

483
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:52,880
Speaker 1: not good for us.

484
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 2: All the North teams, I believe you know, leading up

485
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: in the weeks, we were all under the cap. The

486
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,840
Speaker 2: Vikings by far with the biggest fineil issues. But I

487
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 2: think all four teams were in some cap constraints.

488
00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 1: So no, yes, no juice box, no desire. Okay, yeah

489
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,159
Speaker 1: with Trey Hendrix, I desire them, but it's not going

490
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: to happen. Tyler Linderbaum, Number two, tone season offensive lineman,

491
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 1: is a guard for the Baltimore Ravens. It's going to

492
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: be twenty six entering the twenty twenty sixth season. Yeah,

493
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I like him a lot. Linderbaum has a tone setting

494
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,639
Speaker 1: mentality on the interior of the front, using elite foot

495
00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: speed and body control to match pass rushers or climbed

496
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,040
Speaker 1: to the second level in the run game. His pass

497
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: block win rate ninety seven point two percent tied for

498
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: second among thirty one qualifying centers last season. Yeah, I mean,

499
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: but we ain't got money for talking to Fordham right.

500
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: Number three Jalen Phillips can't Affordham Eagles last year into

501
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: his He's gonna be twenty seven years of age. He

502
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: can play both as an edge setter and pocket disruptor.

503
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: Everybody needs edge setter. Some pocket disruptors going to be

504
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: too expensive, right, Yeah? I think so? And see this

505
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: is the number four on this list. This just continues

506
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: to blow me away. And this is this would be

507
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: this would be Feena Fairness and not watching much act.

508
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:19,800
Speaker 1: But like Alec Pierce, right wide receiver for the Colts,

509
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be twenty six when the season begins.

510
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: Six three, two eleven runs like the wind. I averaged

511
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 1: a league best twenty one and a half yards per

512
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 1: catching twenty twenty five, also top the one thousand yard

513
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: receiving mark and brought in six touchdowns. I mean, maybe

514
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: I need to change my face on Alec Peers. I

515
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: can't believe that he's about to get paid what he's

516
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:41,800
Speaker 1: about to get paid when I look at him as

517
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: just a run down the field, run straight down the field,

518
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 1: nine route fast guy, and he's like ESPN's fourth free agent.

519
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: What's I say about.

520
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: Free agency, Well, it's it's a weird group. I honestly

521
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: don't know much about Alec Pierce. I know about him

522
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:58,200
Speaker 2: from a fantasy standpoint, good at times productive. You see

523
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: the explosive per reception market, I think it was twenty

524
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: one and change. Yeah, I don't see what are we

525
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 2: gonna do? Is he gonna make twenty million dollars a year.

526
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: ESPN has him as the fourth most coveted free agent

527
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: to start on Monday, and that just blew me away.

528
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: That blows me away as well. All right, let's pause

529
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: from the football for a second. Then we'll get into

530
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: Rashid Walker, Odafe, O Way, Braden Smith, something called John

531
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 1: Franklin Myers and so on. Kind of want all these guys.

532
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: We don't think we can afford any of them. We're walking.

533
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: We're walking our way pretty close to us. Some names

534
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,680

Speaker 1: But I don't know if the nickname buged you or anything.

561

00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,840
Speaker 3: of Joe radio or radio for a long time. But

566
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 3: you know, when you meet other people across the business

567
00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: or walks of life, sometimes they come up their own

568
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 3: nicknames for you and you roll with them. You know that.

569

Speaker 1: hear him tomorrow night against the Las Vegas Golden Knights,

571
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:46,520
Speaker 1: then Sunday against the Apps, both on the road. What's

572
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: the Golden tee scene like in Las Vegas.

573
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 3: I'll get back to you on that. There are other

574
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 3: things to do out there. Really to come first is

575
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 3: you're probably aware a couple of big hockey games for

576
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:06,400
Speaker 3: the Wild day off Saturday in Denver before the you know,

577
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: the early afternoons start against the Abs, And really when

578
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 3: you look the schedule next couple of games for the

579
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 3: Wild PA, it doesn't get any easier. Like they've got

580
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: a lot of tough opponents coming into town after this

581
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 3: little two game trip and just kind of like the

582
00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 3: way the team's playing right now and hoping that they

583
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 3: continue to stack those points and stay healthy down the stretch.

584
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: Well indeed, so, but the a topic is you saying

585
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: that you might not play Golden Ta your favorite game

586
00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: in Vegas because I looked at it as an amazingly

587
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,640
Speaker 1: sneaky move. In the seven oh two, you got others

588
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: chanting their luck, so to speak, a Blackjack Wraps and

589
00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: pie Gal and here's buzzy here Joe O'Donnell's supplementing his

590
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 1: income in Las Vegas with Golden Tea. I mean it

591
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: has some potential brilliance to it.

592
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 3: I mean it's like, I don't know, ten twelve bucks

593
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 3: for eighteen holes for you and your buddies, and takes

594
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 3: an hour plus maybe to play a couple of cold ones,

595
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: probably save some rather than hitting the tables and not

596
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 3: finding luck that way.

597
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:09,160
Speaker 1: So unless well too.

598
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 3: But I tend to be uh, you know, give me

599
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: a golfer that's like, you know, top five usually, but

600
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,880
Speaker 3: that often doesn't win, Like you know what, Happy Gilmore

601
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: was getting the big checks and he was finishing like yeah,

602
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 3: you know, on the leader board. Unfortunately, it tends to

603
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: be me when it comes to Golden Tea.

604
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: Hey, the state high school hockey tournament for the boys

605
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: is taking place right now, ladies. Last week, what what's

606
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,960
Speaker 1: the Pennsylvania State hockey tournament? Like?

607
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 3: So it's interesting. I got Kevin Gorgon was texting uh

608
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:45,640
Speaker 3: with Buddsy Actually stay Lock. We were in a little

609
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 3: group chat yesterday and they and they mentioned this and

610
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 3: I said, you know when I when I played, So

611
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 3: this is like, you know, ninety I think it was

612
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 3: ninety seven, ninety eight varsity hockey out there, like it

613
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,440
Speaker 3: was you had the Flyers Cup, right, So that was

614
00:33:00,440 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 3: the team that kind of came out of the Philadelphia area.

615
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:05,760
Speaker 3: And then I'm pretty sure they used to play the

616
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 3: Penguins Cup winner, which would be like the western side

617
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,360
Speaker 3: of the state for the state championship, but we were

618
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: never good enough to get there. I honestly couldn't tell

619
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 3: you that much about any type of state tournament at

620
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:19,800
Speaker 3: stands now in Pennsylvania. Ye, not nearly as big of

621
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 3: a deal obviously as it is out here. And it's

622
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 3: it's been so cool for myself in our family and

623
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 3: even extended family that are hockey fans. My wife's cousins

624
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,120
Speaker 3: grew up playing like they're like they're into the state

625
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 3: high school hockey tournament out here and they don't even

626
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 3: live here, just because of you know, what they've seen

627
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,560
Speaker 3: on social media and the games are all broadcast and

628
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: obviously we've been to a few games the last couple

629
00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: of years of the family down in Saint Paul's, So

630
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 3: it's awesome to see how much to embraced the game

631
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: out here.

632
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania is your home state in any way known for

633
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 1: a hot bed for hockey talent.

634
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,760
Speaker 3: Well, Mike Richter is from Flowertown, Pennsylvania. That's name that'll

635
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: kind of show my age a little bit. You know.

636
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 3: There's there's certainly other guys from the Tri state area

637
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 3: that are in the NHL right now, but I think

638
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 3: for the most part, you know, the traditional markets that

639
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 3: you're aware of from years ago, the Boston's and some

640
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: spots in New York, obviously, Michigan, Minnesota, you name it,

641
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 3: We're we're carrying the talent for quite some time now.

642
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 3: Of course, the last ten plus years you're starting to

643
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 3: see players from all over the place. Again, not super

644
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 3: up to speed on who's coming out of the area,

645
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 3: but hockey has really grown in the in the suburbs

646
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 3: of Philadelphia like most other places in the States, not

647
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:38,839
Speaker 3: that it ever wasn't big. I mean, we certainly had

648
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 3: prep schools and in the area that I had friends

649
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 3: that went to and when they when they thought the

650
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 3: hockey locally wasn't good enough for them, you know, there

651
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 3: were a lot of good teams that I played against

652
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 3: and and kids that went on to play, you know,

653
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,279
Speaker 3: college hockey, et cetera. But the way it's grown now

654
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 3: with the programs, the club programs in particular out there,

655
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 3: the Triple A programs again not sort of the model here,

656
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,600
Speaker 3: which again is what makes Minnesota in a lot of

657
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,759
Speaker 3: ways unique as many of the listeners know, as far

658
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 3: as youth hockey and high school Hockey Association hockey, which

659
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,080
Speaker 3: is cool, but you know, definitely on the rise in

660
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 3: so many parts of the country, including the Philly area.

661
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: Radio Joe's favorite hockey team, the Minnesota Wild, are is

662
00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: two and o versus the Golden Knights this year. So

663
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,160
Speaker 1: do you expect the Wild to go three and o

664
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,319
Speaker 1: versus Vegas tomorrow night on KFA N or is it

665
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: a super tricky matchup?

666
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if it's a super tricky matchup, it's

667
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,479
Speaker 3: a big one. And you know that the Golden Knights

668
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 3: because of that FKA, they know what's happened in the

669
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 3: first two meetings and overtime game and then the Wild

670
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,360
Speaker 3: took it to them in Vega's hard to win in

671
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,600
Speaker 3: that building. A couple of times in a row, especially

672
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:49,279
Speaker 3: in convincing fashion, so it'll be a tough game. But

673
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,919
Speaker 3: I do like Phil Gustison has looked really good since

674
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:55,279
Speaker 3: coming back from the Olympics, which you might go, well,

675
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 3: how's that possible. We didn't have the best Olympics showing

676
00:35:57,960 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 3: for team Sweden. In fact, he didn't even play in

677
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,000
Speaker 3: this you know, in the semi final game or choosing

678
00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 3: the quarterfinal game against USA. But he's come back and

679
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 3: look really good, and I to that to me is

680
00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:11,839
Speaker 3: a unbelievably good sign for the Wild. Like I'm looking

681
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,080
Speaker 3: for two things over the last twenty one games or

682
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 3: whatever it is. It's gonna be good health and it's

683
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 3: gonna be the goaltending. I'm not worried about anything else

684
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 3: for this hockey team. I think if they get you know,

685
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 3: if they stay healthy, the goalies are playing well and

686
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 3: things are looking good defensively as a group, I really

687
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 3: like this team's chances. But again, as you as you

688
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 3: look at the stretch, I think, you know, post Olympics,

689
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 3: the Wild had like twelve of their twenty four games

690
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,400
Speaker 3: against current playoff teams, So you're gonna get some measuring

691
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 3: sticks here.

692
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: Dallas.

693
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 3: A couple of times down the stretch Colorado one more time.

694
00:36:40,280 --> 00:36:42,520
Speaker 3: As we talked about on Sunday, Vegas tomorrow night, you're

695
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,879
Speaker 3: gonna get some games where you're gonna go, okay, how

696
00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:47,319
Speaker 3: do we size up, you know, how this matchup look

697
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,400
Speaker 3: should we see him down the line. And those are

698
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 3: games I know the players will get, you know, amped

699
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 3: up for, the coaches will have focused, and should make

700
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: for some great, meaningful regular season hockey, even though it

701
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 3: seems like at this point the Wild are deacine.

702
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 1: For a playoff spot T Mobile Friday Ball Arena Sunday.

703
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,880
Speaker 1: I mean this sounds like thousands of Minnesota Wild fans

704
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 1: starting in Vegas Friday, finishing in Colorado Sunday. I mean

705
00:37:11,640 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: that this is one of those trips right where like

706
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,480
Speaker 1: like a ton of Wild fans go yeah.

707
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 3: And to your point, right out of the Olympics, the

708
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 3: back to back Denver, Salt Lake City. I talked to

709
00:37:23,880 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 3: folks in Salt Lake City because at Delta Center it's

710
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,640
Speaker 3: not really still centerp for hockey broadcasting yet, So you're

711
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: calling the game like in the stands and the you know,

712
00:37:32,080 --> 00:37:34,000
Speaker 3: essentially the top of that lower bowl there where the

713
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: NBA guys broadcast from and you're like right there in

714
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 3: the mixer, and plenty of Wild fans there in attendance,

715
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 3: and several that came up to talk to Tom Reid

716
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 3: and I and say like, hey, yeah, we were in

717
00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:48,879
Speaker 3: Denver the other night. What a great win. So yeah,

718
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 3: you're right, especially with the Saturday you could travel from

719
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 3: Vegas to Denver. You could stay a little later if

720
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 3: you want, in Vegas on Saturday and make the trip

721
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 3: over to Denver afternoons start. You could get out after

722
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,799
Speaker 3: the game Sunday in Denver. So a lot of things

723
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 3: landing up where I think, you know you're going to

724
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 3: see a lot of Wild fans in both those buildings.

725
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: Minnesota Wild fans travel so well. I always say that

726
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 3: I'm always impressed on the road how many Jerseys I

727
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:12,960
Speaker 3: see the Wild Let's go Wild chants the other night

728
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:14,799
Speaker 3: in Denver coming out of the break when the Wild

729
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:17,080
Speaker 3: we're running away with that game. Love to see it,

730
00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 3: keep it up. I know the players appreciate as well.

731
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: With the with the dismantling of the lightning. All right,

732
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,480
Speaker 1: so the Wild put Tampa Bay on its third consecutive loss.

733
00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,040
Speaker 1: What what? What are some things the Wild did? A

734
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: couple of Nights Ago Joe against Tampa Bay that you

735
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:34,279
Speaker 1: just really liked.

736
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,400
Speaker 3: Well, they were opportunistic. I think that's that's first and foremost.

737
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,560
Speaker 3: They stayed out of the penalty box, which was key

738
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,319
Speaker 3: against the Tampa Bay team. The power play for the

739
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:50,320
Speaker 3: Wild in the Quinn Hughes eras over thirty percent clicking wise.

740
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 3: You know, that's just so efficient, really getting the job

741
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,400
Speaker 3: done there. So I like the special teams, the discipline aspect,

742
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: and I think they really you know, I talked with

743
00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 3: Caprice Off after the game he breaks the franchise record,

744
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: and I said, you know, after talking about the record

745
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,439
Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff, I was like, Hey,

746
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: this is a big game, big win for you guys,

747
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:11,879
Speaker 3: wasn't it. And I found it interesting that he kind

748
00:39:11,880 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 3: of was like, yeah, you know. The coaches talked this

749
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 3: morning about essentially how they need to play, how their

750
00:39:16,680 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 3: game needed to look, how they didn't want to lose

751
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: stray in a row. And I really thought they went

752
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 3: out and for the most part controlled that hockey game

753
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: against the desperate Campa team that was you know, had

754
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 3: lost back to back, as you said, and prior to

755
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: that in their last twenty five games. I think they

756
00:39:30,560 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 3: had lost like once in regulation, so to send them

757
00:39:32,719 --> 00:39:36,359
Speaker 3: to a three game losing streak was impressive. The way

758
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 3: they got it done again, Gustison was good when he

759
00:39:38,600 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 3: had to be, and I just like the fact that

760
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:42,479
Speaker 3: they seem like they were like, all right, good teams

761
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,320
Speaker 3: don't lose ray in a row. We're a good team.

762
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: Let's be on our toes and go get this thing.

763
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 1: Do do you think they make a big deal by

764
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,440
Speaker 1: the deadline tomorrow. I mean in no way of mccaren,

765
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:55,359
Speaker 1: in no way of Fabriary. I'm talking obviously Trocheck will

766
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: be the a name. But what do you think.

767
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:00,960
Speaker 3: You know we could? Gould said absol two weeks ago,

768
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 3: I would have said without a doubt. I don't know now.

769
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 3: And I think I like the fact that Billy g

770
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,640
Speaker 3: you know, we know he's gonna take his swings. He's

771
00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 3: never been a GM that does anything other than try

772
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:15,400
Speaker 3: to give this the best chance to win when he

773
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,560
Speaker 3: believes they have that opportunity. I also think the guys

774
00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 3: in the room believe in what they have, and so

775
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 3: I think if they don't go out and do something,

776
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: I don't think like maybe years past, where the core

777
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 3: group goes man, they don't believe in us or man,

778
00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:31,839
Speaker 3: this isn't good enough. I think this team knows they're

779
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 3: good enough. And so if it's gonna preclude Bill garn

780
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: and his staff from making a move this summer or

781
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 3: an early season move next year, a la Quinn Hughes

782
00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 3: from this season, and I don't know that they're just

783
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 3: gonna force something to force something, to make one more move,

784
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,680
Speaker 3: just to make it. I like the depth right now.

785
00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,200
Speaker 3: I think defensively the wild match up, if everybody's healthy,

786
00:40:52,239 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 3: their top six is good as anybody in the league.

787
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:57,520
Speaker 3: And I you know, bring your arguments this way Foard

788
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,839
Speaker 3: wise of McCarron now and fabric two guys to stab,

789
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:04,000
Speaker 3: which has NHL resumes the playoff experience some grit. I

790
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:06,480
Speaker 3: like what they did there, so if you're off struggling

791
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 3: in a playoff series, you don't have to play them now.

792
00:41:09,080 --> 00:41:12,719
Speaker 3: Essentially again, if everybody's healthy, so give Marcus Felino back

793
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: in this lineup, get the line set maybe the last

794
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 3: ten or so games, get guys feel good about their game.

795
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 3: If they don't make another move, I think I'm fine

796
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 3: with it. But answer your question, since they just talked

797
00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:25,560
Speaker 3: for an hour and didn't. I think another move will come,

798
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 3: but I'm not as convinced as I was that we could.

799
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 1: Go all right, Well, say say there is not another

800
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 1: move or it's not one of the ballyhood nature as

801
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 1: is is. If what I'm hearing is correct, and I

802
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 1: would agree with you, is what they have right now

803
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,600
Speaker 1: good enough to advance through the postseason? Yes?

804
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,319
Speaker 3: One, Uh, there's no question in my mind. Now you're

805
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 3: gonna have here's the caveat Wild fans are gonna roll

806
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 3: their eye. You're gonna have a hell of a first

807
00:41:55,080 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 3: round matchup, and if you get out of that, it's

808
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: gonna be a battle in.

809
00:41:58,160 --> 00:41:58,759
Speaker 1: The second round.

810
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:02,399
Speaker 3: Right like most likely you're playing Dallas right now, you'd

811
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 3: start in Dallas, which I don't mind at all. Games

812
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 3: one and two. You know that's a team that if

813
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 3: you can find a way to you know, score enough

814
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:14,160
Speaker 3: goals right to beat pesky Jay Goddens, your Lakeville native,

815
00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna win that series. I really believe that. I

816
00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 3: don't think there's a clear cut team in the division

817
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 3: or in the conference over the Minnesota whild where you

818
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,800
Speaker 3: look at it on paper and go they're the younger dogs.

819
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:26,600
Speaker 3: They might be in Vegas slightly. They might not be

820
00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,160
Speaker 3: the quote unquote favorite nationally, but I don't think you

821
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:31,560
Speaker 3: look at this roster right now as it's constructed. I

822
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 3: don't care what anybody else does prior to the deadline

823
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:37,319
Speaker 3: and you go, yep, they can't beat them. I just

824
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 3: don't see it that way. So I think Quinn Hughes

825
00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,200
Speaker 3: has given such confidence to this lineup. He brought such

826
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 3: offense from the back end, the wilder right around the

827
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 3: top of the league and goal since they acquired him.

828
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 3: He made his debut December the fourteenth. But again, if

829
00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:53,960
Speaker 3: they're healthy and their goaltending is dialed in, which you

830
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:55,920
Speaker 3: know you have no reason expect it won't be at

831
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,040
Speaker 3: this point With as good as Gus and Wally have

832
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:00,319
Speaker 3: played this year, like this is a team that I think,

833
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 3: for the first time in a decade, should be a

834
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,560
Speaker 3: real believer. This isn't a hope and a prayer. This

835
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:10,120
Speaker 3: isn't a we're an underdog situation. This is a you

836
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: know the matchup is going to be tough, but there's

837
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:14,320
Speaker 3: no reason this team shouldn't get through a first round

838
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,719
Speaker 3: and on from there with the way they're currently constructed.

839
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 1: My man, fucks have a great time in Vegas and Colorado.

840
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,759
Speaker 1: We'll talk to you next week, all right, all right, Pee,

841
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,959
Speaker 1: thanks buddy, see you man. That's Joe O'Donnell. He calls

842
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,560
Speaker 1: wild games on k f A N including tomorrow night

843
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 1: around nine o'clock against Dem Vegas Golden Nights. This is

844
00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:41,160
Speaker 1: nine to noon, back in the flat, all right. Green

845
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 1: Bay Packers offensive tackle Rashid Walker, Green Bay, twenty six

846
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,560
Speaker 1: into the next season, Number five free agent on the

847
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 1: ESPN list, Like both our tackles better than him in

848
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: the first place. Same number six, odafe o Way Chargers

849
00:43:59,239 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 1: last year, twenty seven into the season. He I don't know.

850
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: He had a bunch of sacks against the New England

851
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,920
Speaker 1: Patriots in that in that one and done playoff scenario,

852
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: Butdfeoway edge and then we got the then we got

853
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:16,759
Speaker 1: the Grenard trade thing. Yeah, that hit two days ago.

854
00:44:17,840 --> 00:44:20,240
Speaker 1: Like anybody double down on that yesterday or something.

855
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,880
Speaker 2: I've just seen little bits and pieces that that. Many

856
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 2: teams in the NFL ever since we saw that initial

857
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:31,600
Speaker 2: report have have also now reportedly made inquiries in relation

858
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,320
Speaker 2: to what it would cost to get Grenard.

859
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: How come through the first six free agents, the wonderful

860
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:40,239
Speaker 1: Wizard of Cohn has not said desire got it?

861
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:44,439
Speaker 2: Want me and yeah, well that's easy. I want Trey

862
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 2: Hendrickson on my team. We can't afford him. I want

863
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 2: Tyler Linderbaum on my team. Now the issue we need

864
00:44:50,200 --> 00:44:53,319
Speaker 2: a center. We need a center, and maybe Adafeoway come

865
00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: play center. Maybe maybe he can, and that would be

866
00:44:55,640 --> 00:44:58,440
Speaker 2: uh talk about out of the box. I mean, Brazinski's creative,

867
00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:01,600
Speaker 2: but that would be something. Lennerbaum's going to be really expensive.

868
00:45:01,640 --> 00:45:04,200
Speaker 2: We got cap numbers on our tackles right now. I

869
00:45:04,239 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: think it's like twenty three and twenty one. Fries got

870
00:45:07,200 --> 00:45:10,480
Speaker 2: paid like that. That center spot really needs to be

871
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:13,200
Speaker 2: solved with somebody who can make all the dances. Lennardbaum,

872
00:45:13,280 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 2: spend Y Man and then you get to Jalen Phillips

873
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,200
Speaker 2: expensive Alec Pearce. I don't like what he's going to

874
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,640
Speaker 2: be getting paid. Plus we got eighteen and three for now. Okay, Yeah,

875
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: so that's that's where I'm at through the first time.

876
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:28,000
Speaker 2: Brayden Smith Indianapolis Colts. I think he played right tackle,

877
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,000
Speaker 2: might have played some left.

878
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:32,800
Speaker 1: Going to be thirty into the season out John Franklin

879
00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 1: Myers defensive lineman, Denver Broncos eighth on the ESPN list

880
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: for some reason, Alex Pierce is four and John Franklin

881
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 1: Myers is anes. That tell you about free agency. With

882
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,200
Speaker 1: all due respect, Franklin Myers lacks the lateral speed and

883
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:50,120
Speaker 1: ben to turn pressures into a bunch of sacks from

884
00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: edge alignments.

885
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:55,640
Speaker 2: So nope, John Franklin Myers, you don't think so. I'd

886
00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,440
Speaker 2: like to know what he costs. I mean, in a

887
00:45:57,440 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 2: different universe, if the.

888
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: John pick him out of a two person lineups standing

889
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 1: next to Carl Mecklenberg.

890
00:46:02,960 --> 00:46:06,480
Speaker 2: But he was super like uber productive in that Broncos

891
00:46:06,520 --> 00:46:08,680
Speaker 2: defense the last two years, and he was kind of

892
00:46:08,719 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 2: meeting potatoes, I would say, above average during his time

893
00:46:11,320 --> 00:46:11,920
Speaker 2: with the Jets.

894
00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: You like his work at five Technique, don't you?

895
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been saying that for years. So I follow

896
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:18,399
Speaker 2: him from Afar. I'm a huge fan.

897
00:46:18,520 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 1: No, the sas last year.

898
00:46:20,280 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 2: Who knows this thing is this thing unfolds pa. I

899
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: mean we speak of the D line the interior. If

900
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 2: we if we have Hargrave and Allen and then we

901
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,480
Speaker 2: have Jalen Redman, just put an exclusive rights tag on

902
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:34,920
Speaker 2: him and an LDR, et cetera.

903
00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:36,600
Speaker 1: That's a position of depth.

904
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 2: If you remove Hargrave and Allen from the equation, that's

905
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:42,640
Speaker 2: no longer a position of depth. And so so that's

906
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 2: a target for me just kind of paying attention. But

907
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:48,080
Speaker 2: I think Franklin Myers would be pretty spendy too. Know

908
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 2: anything about New Orleans corner Alante Taylor no idea.

909
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't really either. Didn't know he was a person.

910
00:46:54,200 --> 00:47:00,160
Speaker 1: Kwai Walker Kuai Walker's number ten, Quay Walker's number ten. Well,

911
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: what would he look like in this defense? Well? He

912
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,759
Speaker 1: I mean, if you have Kuway Walker, you don't have

913
00:47:06,920 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 1: Eric Wilson and Kway Walker. I mean it's I know

914
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 1: Quay's a lot younger than Eric, but I mean, can

915
00:47:14,440 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 1: Quay do what Eric did last year? We'll see him

916
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: raw talent?

917
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:21,399
Speaker 2: You think it's there with Walker or just he had

918
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:24,279
Speaker 2: his shot with and he's it's just waning so much

919
00:47:24,280 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 2: over those first four years with with the Pack.

920
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,400
Speaker 1: That's a very good question because I've never been a

921
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,399
Speaker 1: Quay Walker fan in the past. Coverage game and then

922
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: early in his career he had some penalties are bad.

923
00:47:37,280 --> 00:47:40,440
Speaker 1: His parly time penalties came at the worst time of games.

924
00:47:40,480 --> 00:47:45,240
Speaker 1: Couldn't control himself. I mean he's a yeah, tenth free agent. Nah,

925
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 1: but if they signed him, Hey, if they signed him,

928
00:47:57,520 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 1: then somebody got hurt and they had to And like

929
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:06,840
Speaker 1: if Drake May was close to acceptable in the Super Bowl,

930
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,200
Speaker 1: the guys he was missing were always around Rieke Wolan,

931
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:16,959
Speaker 1: they were always open. So, I mean, four plays does

932
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:20,400
Speaker 1: not a career make arms go from Malwi to Maine.

933

935
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:30,640
Speaker 1: plays msical, he's I mean, from the time I think

936
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: he was a fifth or sixth round pick.

937
00:48:32,080 --> 00:48:34,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, heck of a pick, wasn't he Rookie of the Year?

938
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:35,880
Speaker 2: Potentially defensive play.

939
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,160
Speaker 1: Might have been. Yeah, But the bit with him, he's

940
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:41,839
Speaker 1: like six three six four long arms, can can run

941
00:48:41,880 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 1: well enough, but he was like he was the sticky

942
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 1: man bit that messed with you with the line of scrimmage.

943
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:49,600
Speaker 2: And if you could add that because because right now,

944
00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:52,600
Speaker 2: again speaking about depth and things like that, Reek would

945
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 2: Flores could figure out how to make Reek Wollan a player,

946
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 2: and we do after Rogers and Murphy. I mean, it's

947
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,359
Speaker 2: the island of Fabian Moreau, as you would say.
