8
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: Well. Bruce Feldman's at the combine. He wrote a great

9
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: piece in the Athletic on Mendoza's journey, and it's interesting.

10
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: I remember when Indiana started winning this year. I went

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: back and I started like going to cal footage on

12
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: YouTube and all the numbers, and it's it's it's not

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: a Trevor Lawrence situation with Mendoza where you know his

14
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: freshman year. You're like, I mean I saw Trevor Lawrence

15
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,959
Speaker 1: in high school. I was like, oh my god. It's

16
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,760
Speaker 1: over Matt Stafford where mel Kiper once said he could

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: have been drafted out of high school. It's been more

18
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: slow growth, but I'm for that. Aaron Rodgers was slow growth.

19
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, Andrew Luck jumped off the television set as

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 1: a true red shirt freshman or true freshman. With that,

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Bruce Feldman joins us live at the Combine in Indianapolis.

22
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: You wrote this piece on him about his journey. It's

23
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a great article and give the audience some understanding. And

24
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 1: I tend to think, you know these Caleb Williams is

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: so dynamic. The first time I saw him at Oklahoma,

26
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: I'm like, Wow, what is that? That's great? That is

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: an outlier. Most kids are like Drake may that got

28
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: justin Herbert. Herbert took a long time to develop into something.

29
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 1: So what was there a time that people had doubts

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: about Mendoza? What do you make of his jersey and

31
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 1: jersey journey and it's ascension over the last you know year?

32
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, there was a massive amount of doubts.

33
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 4: He was a at one point a two star quarterback

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 4: retruit in Miami, which is obviously South Florida as a

35
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: college football hotbed for talent. And one of the coaches

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: who had tried to recruit him at FIU it's not

37
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: a powerhouse, but Mendoza grew up just a few miles

38
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 4: away from their campus, and this coach said he was

39
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 4: begging for us to take them and our quarterback at

40
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 4: the coach at the time just didn't see it. And

41
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 4: he was like basically was like twenty pounds less than

42
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 4: he is now and a little goofyar, but that was

43
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 4: basically him.

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: But you saw something.

45
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: He led them Miami Columbus High School, which by the

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 4: way is Mario christobal is old high school. He led

47
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 4: them to some wins over some national powers that he played.

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 3: And still, you know, he was committed to Yale.

49
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 4: He had no FBS offers until right before a signing

50
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: day of his senior year. Cal took a chance on

51
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: him and he went there and as you said, he

52
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 4: had some promising moments and I think he kept developing.

53
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 4: And then big credit to Kurt Signetti. He saw something

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: more than what a lot of other people saw. And

55
00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:00,679
Speaker 4: Signetti had a connection to the family because he had

56
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 4: Alberto Mendoza, Fernando's younger brother, and you know, felt like,

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 4: all right, this is a really special family.

58
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: This kid has a lot of work ethic, We're going

59
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: to see it.

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: And I think you look at some of the kind

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,399
Speaker 4: of arcs of this former two star guy with zero

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 4: sense of entitlement, you know, high academic guy, and he's

63
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 4: not he's not justin Herbert in terms of the you know,

64
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:24,399
Speaker 4: he's not quite.

65
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: He's big, but he's not that big.

66
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 4: He's moves pretty well but doesn't run like and he

67
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: doesn't have that you know, cannon for an arm. But

68
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: Justin Herbert, as you said, Colin was like not a

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: big recruit. He was an Oregon's backyard and really blossomed.

70
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,400
Speaker 4: Ye also really high academic guy, you know, like a

71
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: four to two in biology.

72
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: This is a high academic guy.

73
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 4: And so Chandler Whitmer, who was worked with the Chargers

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 4: when Justin Herbert was Aaron, was the quarterback coach last

75
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 4: year for Indiana. He saw a lot of similarities and

76
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: kind of they're wiring and I think those are the things.

77
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: It doesn't mean that this guy is going to be

78
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 4: a can't miss. This is not a good quarterback draft.

79
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,520
Speaker 4: He is not you know, Caleb Williams and the wow factor.

80
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 4: But in terms of the intangibles, and the biggest thing

81
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: that I would say is in his favor is one

82
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: of the coaches who played him this year in the

83
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 4: playoffs said you can affect him, but you.

84
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 3: Can't rattle him.

85
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 4: And what he meant by that is you may get

86
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 4: him on a play and he may throw a pick,

87
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 4: but he'll come back the next series and it's going

88
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: right back to work.

89
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 3: So he's dwelling on it.

90
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: And that's huge because you go back to the Oregon game,

91
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,479
Speaker 4: throws a pick six in the fourth quarter, gets on

92
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 4: the field the next you know, the next series, and

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 4: leads him to a seventy five yard touchdown drive. Did

94
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: it against Penn State, did it against Iowa? And I

95
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 4: think that kind of resiliency and that mental focus that

96
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:39,440
Speaker 4: does bode well if he's going to be the first

97
00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 4: pick of the draft with the Raiders.

98
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Listen. And it's easy for me to say this, right

99
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: because I work at a network that has the Big ten,

100
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: but there is growing evidence between Michigan, Ohio State, and

101
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: Indiana winning titles in succession that the nil and we

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 1: kind of predicted that these are bigger universities in the SEC.

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: The endowments are greater than a lot of the SEC schools.

104
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 1: But I mean, I look at the top of this

105
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 1: draft and the top two SEC guys are just corners.

106
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: I mean it used to be Georgia, Bama. It was linebackers,

107
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,840
Speaker 1: defensive tackles, edge, those are all Big ten in Miami guys. Now,

108
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: I mean that can't be lost on you, right, it

109
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: does feel like we've had a complete sea change in

110
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: a sport we both love in like three years.

111
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: It is remarkable.

112
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 4: I mean, and you see it in the postseason game results, right,

113
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 4: And I think what has happened is the Big ten

114
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 4: is and it wasn't. You know, Ohio States been super talented.

115
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: They were when Urban was the head coach there. But

116
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: I feel like you look at Oregon right, what they've

117
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 4: got obviously signetti work miracles in Bloomington, but you go

118
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 4: through there's other talent that now has been cycled to

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: other places because of the nil also because the portal,

120
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: and I think that the ability to transfer, you know,

121
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 4: George is still really good. They're not what they were

122
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. Alabama's not what they were

123
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. LSU certainly wasn't. And so

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 4: you're right. I mean it was eye opening when I

125
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 4: think I was on my in the airport on the

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: way to fly down here, and Dale Jeremiah, you know,

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: our friend from NFL Network who does a great job

128
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 4: of valuating draft He put out his like top one

129
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 4: hundred list, and I'm looking and I'm like.

130
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 3: There's not a lot of SEC guys.

131
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 4: I was expecting maybe they're before in the top twenty,

132
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: there were only two. There was ten from the Big ten.

133
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: There was more from Miami than there were from the

134
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 4: entire SEC. There was more from the Big twelve. That

135
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 4: was something that nobody would have expected. But obviously Texas

136
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: Tech is spending a lot of money and they're making

137
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 4: trud evaluations too.

138
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: But it's like, this is eye opening.

139
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 4: You know, there's a bunch of other SEC guys further

140
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,280
Speaker 4: outside of the top twenty like to see where it

141
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 4: is now.

142
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 3: It's pretty staggering.

143
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is. You know, there's a couple of players

144
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,760
Speaker 1: in the draft that are fascinating. The kid at Oregon

145
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: the tight end, so he is such a different shape

146
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: as a tight end. So when I watched the Oregon

147
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: this year, I'm like, he doesn't have the l I

148
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 1: want my tight ends to be like six five and

149
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: a half or taller. Your takeaway on the combine, are

150
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: there a couple of players in this combine that we

151
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: need to watch over the next couple of days that

152
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 1: could be really important. Combine doesn't matter for quarterbacks, especially

153
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: Mendoza when he's the top of the class. Are there

154
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: a couple of guys though, first round ish guys that

155
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: come the combine really matters.

156
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think the guys who will really like

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 4: the combine up that tight end you're talking about Kenyon

158
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: Sadik from Idaho. But you know, not like it's a

159
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 4: hotbed there, but there are some good players Colston Love

160
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 4: and another good tight end. It was at Michigan from

161
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 4: Idaho as well. And this guy, he was on my

162
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: freaks list in the summer. We did a combine freak

163
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 4: story at the Athletic yesterday.

164
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:09,880
Speaker 3: He's the number one guy.

165
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: I mean he is as you said, he's not six

166
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 4: y six, but he's about two hundred and fifty pounds.

167
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: He vertical jumps forty two inches. He's really explosive. He

168
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: was a matchup nightmare you look at seeing some of

169
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 4: the things he does. Now, the consistency as a receiver

170
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 4: could be better, but he really blossomed there. He's a

171
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 4: willing blocker and he's going to be an interesting chess piece.

172
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: He's more I don't want to say he's the longest

173
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:39,280
Speaker 4: size of brock Bowers, but brock Bauers also isn't that

174
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,360

176
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 4: good a football player As Brock. Bowers but he's every

177
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 4: bit is, explosive if not more, explosive AND i think

178
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 4: there's a bunch of offensive coaches who would love to

179
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: get their hands On Kenyon. Sadik another guy on the

180
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,800

Speaker 1: Yeah the Ty simpson's. INTERESTING a lot of people HAVE

206
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: i don't, know projected that The rams. Have you, know

207
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: they never have first round. Picks now they have, two

208
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: And stafford's probably off this YEAR mvp level, season he

209
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 1: was THE mvp That stafford's. GONNA i, mean he was,

210
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: healthy he was. Great he'll probably sign another two year.

211
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: Deal he loves, playing and the team is great and

212
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: they're in The Super bowl, run so why not? Play

213
00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: so Ty simpson could sit because he didn't have a

214
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: lot of college. Starts he could just sit and that

215
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: would in my, opinion most of the time they should.

216
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: Sit what do you hear about Ty? SIMPSON i, mean

217
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: he just doesn't have enough, starts but he does have

218
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: a good. Arm he Had kaalin de Bores a great,

219
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 1: coach so he's been learning like kind of a pro style.

220
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 1: Offense did never run, games so we had to carry the.

221
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 1: Offense what do you make of?

222
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 4: Him there's been some good buzz here about, Him colin In.

223
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 4: Indy you'd mentioned The. Rams that's been some chowder out.

224
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 4: There there's been a couple other teams where you hear

225
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 4: they're going to probably take him in the first. Round

226
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,160
Speaker 4: he has a good, army made a lot of really pressure.

227
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Throws he.

228
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,440
Speaker 4: DID i think he had no run, game by the,

229
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,599
Speaker 4: way you're. NOT i mean that was a huge piece of.

230
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 4: It he started to wear down later in the. Season

231
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 4: he's also a really more dynamic athlete THAN i think

232
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: a lot of people.

233
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 3: Realize, again he was a one year starter last. YEAR

234
00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:34,319
Speaker 3: i think he started fifteen.

235
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,719
Speaker 4: Games he got pounded By indiana in the playoff where

236
00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 4: they Were alabama got. EMBARRASSED i like him though this

237
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 4: is not a deep quarterback draft at.

238
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 3: All he is.

239
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: One GUY i think has first round, talent and, again

240
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 4: if you put him in the in the rights environment

241
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 4: where he does get to learn behind. Somebody he's a coaches.

242
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 4: KID a lot of people really like. HIM i think you,

243
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 4: know he came on pretty fast and then it kind

244
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 4: of fizzled out a little. Bit but there's a lot to.

245
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 4: LIKE i, mean there's no you, KNOW i don't think

246
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: anybody's talking about it, like oh he could go in

247
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 4: the top. Eight that WON'T i don't see that. Happening

248
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 4: BUT i think somewhere later in the first, round as

249
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 4: somebody sits there and, goes you know, what we can

250
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 4: work with him and develop him BECAUSE i think he'll

251
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 4: do well in.

252
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 3: Interviews, again his dad's a head coach at AN fcs.

253
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 4: SCHOOL a lot of people are really like the makeup

254
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 4: and the athleticism is actually really.

255
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: Good we've had a. HISTORY i, mean Obviously Tom brady

256
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 1: gets drafted in the sixth, round Brock perty in the,

257
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: seventh Dak prescott in the, Fourth Kirk cousins in the,

258
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:40,599
Speaker 1: Fourth Russell wilson was Remarkable wisconsin and he went in the.

259
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Third like there's going to be an undersized quarterback or

260
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:48,319
Speaker 1: a small school. Quarterback there's a Kid Cole peyton and

261
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: a really good At North Dakota state program which they're

262
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: on MY tv about three times a, year and they

263
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: are big and. Physical is he the? Gem is he

264
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: the guy that's going to, go you know. AROUND i

265
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: mean it feels like about every second to third, Draft,

266
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: bruce we just there's a guy that we didn't spend

267
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 1: a lot of time talking, about and you'll look up

268
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: and he can. Play is it this?

269
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 4: KID i don't know IF i would in terms of

270
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,319
Speaker 4: he's not a really polished. Quarterback he's more in the

271
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 4: mode quite honestly Of Taysom, hill where he's a big.

272
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 4: ATHLETE i, mean he will test very. Well he made

273
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: vertical jump around forty. Inches it was really more of

274
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: a running, quarterback but he started to blossom a little

275
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: bit this past. Year it's funny because probably maybe the

276
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: best prospect From North Dakota state is actually the former

277
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: Quarterback Trey lance's younger, Brother Bryce, lance who was a big,

278
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 4: receiver and he'll test great and he was a big

279
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,959
Speaker 4: play guy in that. Offense BUT i think you'll See

280
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,679
Speaker 4: Cole payton end. Up maybe he'll be in the fifth

281
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: or a fourth fifth round. Range And i'm interested to

282
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,000
Speaker 4: see how people use him because he is a really

283
00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 4: big athletic. Guy he's still really, raw and as you,

284
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,480
Speaker 4: said in this, DRAFT i don't think there's a ton

285
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 4: of quarterbacks people get too excited. About you, KNOW i

286
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 4: could See Garrett nusmeyer FROM lsu, again the coach's kid

287
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 4: who had a disappointing senior year AT lsu and everything went.

288
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 3: WRONG i could see him.

289
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 4: Generating some buzz here BECAUSE i know people are going

290
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 4: to like him and like his. Makeup the question is like,

291
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: Consistency so you're going to probably see some of these

292
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: teams end up maybe reaching a little higher for some

293
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 4: of these guys who maybe didn't you, know didn't do

294
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: that much in terms of to help themselves on the,

295
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 4: season but probably ken in the, postseason in the post hot,

296
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 4: post in the draft run, up where people are just

297
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: kind of, reaching, going you know, what this is not

298
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 4: a deep. Draft we're going to take a flyer on

299
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 4: somebody in the third or fourth.

300
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: Round, yeah teams need backup quarterbacks. Too Bruce, FELDMAN nfl

301
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 1: Commin go read His Fernando mendoza. Piece it's fantastic as, Always,

305
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me at. All is that you often

306
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: get it's pretty consistent when somebody like Cam ward is

307
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: a no star quarterback or a two star. Quarterback they're incredibly,

308
00:15:17,160 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: grateful they're incredibly, driven they're pretty humble because they didn't

309
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: get anything handed to. Them SO i, mean half of

310
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: the five star quarterback, recruits AND i follow this dorky,

311
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: recruiting half of them never pan. Out, now ninety percent

337
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,680
Speaker 6: Obvious he's not going anywhere this. Offseason that's, obvious but.

338
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: Discussed don't you show us on.

339
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 7: This i'm not saying anything like.

340
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 6: That if you just start putting some bread crumbs, Together,

341
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: colin you can start to see like something could be a.

342
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 7: Foot i'll just leave it at. That i'm just curious

343
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 7: where you On. Stroud has he been a top ten?

344
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 1: Quarterback, WELL i.

345
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 2: MEAN i was.

346
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,800
Speaker 1: Troubling he just really bad. Turnovers he wasn't as. ACCURATE

347
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: i MEAN i never thought he was super accurate when he.

348
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,199
Speaker 1: MOVED i think he's a guy that you, know if

349
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 1: he moves a little bit in the, POCKET i think

350
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 1: he tells a beautiful. Ball but, listen you can't he

351
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,679
Speaker 1: in the, postseason he. Struggled they can't seem to get

352
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,119
Speaker 1: their old line right or their run game. Right If

353
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 1: Woody marks isn't playing they don't have a run, game

354
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: SO i, Mean i'm the numbers don't.

355
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 6: Lie he did not have a very good. Year he

356
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,679
Speaker 6: helped get them back to the. PLAYOFFS i THINK i

357
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 6: believe they started zero to three climbed out of that. Hole,

358
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 6: now the backup quarterback did show well a couple of,

359
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 6: games but Like Nico, collins in and out of the

360
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,399
Speaker 6: lineup member due to.

361
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 7: His injuries and the.

362
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 6: CONCUSSION. Cj stroud himself was. Concussed like it was a trying.

363
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,479
Speaker 6: Season the fact they got to the playoffs and won

364
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 6: a GAME i thought was.

365
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,199
Speaker 1: Impressive but his touchdowns have gone down every, year and

366
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 1: IT'S i, mean it was, Interesting like the season and,

367
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: ended he went and got a new look and a

368
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: new haircut and a new, look and he you, know

369
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: he's cycling through some stuff. HERE i like his. Coach

370
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 1: they've struggled to keep wide receivers and running backs. Healthy

371
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: so not all of it's on.

372
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 6: Him, Yeah, NO i still think would you say he's

373
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 6: top fifteen quarterbacks As? Oh, absolutely but top ten is

374
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 6: a bit rich for your blood.

375
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 1: Based on the regression over the last two. Years.

376
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yeah interesting story to watch here in the coming.

377
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 7: Years Colin all, right let's go to The.

378
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: Vikings, obviously they are still catching heat for Dumping Sam,

379
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 6: darnold who then went on to win A Super. Bowl,

380
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 6: MEANWHILE jj, McCarthy my guy a bit of a struggle.

381
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 6: Bus so he missed his rookie. Year then he came

382
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 6: back in year two and was kind of up and.

383
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 6: Down it was a soft benching as they're calling. It,

384
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 6: anyway THE gm gets. Fired that was McCarthy's, guy and

385
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 6: their NEW evp of Football operations spoke about how the

386
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 6: quarterback situation is being approached this, offseason saying the team

387
00:18:56,520 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 6: needs a level of baseline quarterback. PLAY i would say

388
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,760
Speaker 6: that's a, shot and said he will be casting a

389
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 6: wide net when it comes to improving the quarterback. Play

390
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:11,639
Speaker 6: that's another. Shot so who do you which veteran do

391
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 6: you think they go? After Kyler Murray, Tua Kirk cousins

392
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 6: second tour of duty In minnesota a?

393
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,840

00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 7: what do you think you?

395
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: THINK i think The niner connection To San francisco is pretty.

396
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: STRONG i would guess Mac, jones do you have to

397
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: give up like a three or a?

398
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 7: Five any more than?

399
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 6: That Bro come, on he's on the cheap and he

400
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 6: could be your starter all. Season and, oh by the,

401
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 6: way you're in THE. Nfc the last thing The niners

403
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 6: win eleven games to make the. Playoffs i'm sure you

404
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 6: saw the Stat The niners have the most travel of

405
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 6: any team in THE nfl history next season because they

406
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,960

Speaker 7: Guy uh Brock.

00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: would take Mac jones over to.

417
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 7: Him what About Kyler?

418
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:27,800

419
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 6: paying bargain basement.

00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 1: Deal, NO i don't think he fits What kevin O'Connell

421
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 1: wants to. Do i'm not, Sure Kyler, MURRAY i think

422
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:36,960
Speaker 1: he has a. Market it's not a good. One it's

423
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,199
Speaker 1: not good. TEAMS i think the good teams ARE i

424
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:43,280
Speaker 1: mean IT'S I i think people that have worked With,

425
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,800
Speaker 1: arizona people Like Larry, Fitzgerald Steve, KIME i, mean they've

426

Speaker 1: Left arizona and they've been frank about what it's. Like you,

427
00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 1: know it's it's not, ideal it's not a it's not

00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: a great football.

429
00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 6: Operation my only concern with McCarthy is Is kevin O'Connell's

430
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 6: clearly entering this, season you, know on a warm. Seat

431
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 6: you go, playoffs you move on From, darnold you, regress

434
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 6: Well they got to make the right. Decision final story

435
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 6: is a guy we haven't talked about on the show.

436
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 7: In, Weeks Shedore. Sanders.

437
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 6: Colin, yes shad are back in the news because, apparently

438
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,679
Speaker 6: according to a new head, Coach Todd, munkin it sounds

439
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 6: like It's Shadeur sanders Against Deshaun watson for the starting quarterback.

440
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 6: Job and here's a What monkett had to say About.

441
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 8: Shadur what you see is elite playmaking ability that's in.

442
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 3: Him you've seen.

443
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 1: It we've seen.

444
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 8: It you saw it in, college you saw it on

445
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,199
Speaker 8: tape last. Year, sure there's there's a ways to, go

446
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 8: but what rookie ISN'T i, mean what first year player

447
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 8: doesn't have a long way to. GO i think it's

448
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 8: an open. COMPETITION i, MEAN i don't know why wouldn't

449
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 8: be an open. COMPETITION i don't mean that saying it,

450
00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 8: harshly BUT i don't think there's enough on film over

451
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 8: the last couple of years.

452
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: One way or the.

453
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 8: Other the same way we have a starter quarterback, yet

454
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 8: whether internally or, EXTERNALLY.

455
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 6: I don't love hearing That shaduur has elite playmaking ability

456
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 6: when the tape from last season shows none of.

457
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 7: That you even said he looked slow trying to, escape.

458
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: RIGHT.

459
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 7: I, mean where's he getting elite? Playmaking?

460
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: COLORADO i would give him the starting job BECAUSE i

461
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: think you want a quarterback in a year AND i

462
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: don't want any excuses if they move Off, shador SO

463
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: i would give him the starting. NOD i don't think

464
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great. Quarterback he didn't have

465
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: any great. Trades he's not a great. Athlete he's not,

466

Speaker 1: coach is, incompetent and The browns are going to be

481
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 1: bad because they don't have a. Quarterback so why not

482
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: Play shadu or the popular kid who has more big

00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 1: wait for a.

491
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 6: Quarterback well, wait if you don't have a quarterback and

492
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 6: you don't want to Chase Malik, Willis isn't that like

493
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:57,440

Speaker 1: Tank, no that's like saving your resources for one. Year

495
00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: you can, remember it's thirty. Million that's What Sam darnold's. Making,

496
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: okay thirty million dollars for a singular player is a.

497
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,959

00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: doesn't make it. Tanking, WELL i.

499
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,439
Speaker 6: Guess the argument would, be if you Get Malik willis

500
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,119
Speaker 6: at thirty, million he's going to win.

501

509
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 1: not playing your top three players that would be tanking

528
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 1: knows the college. Game lakers have multiple draft picks and

529
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:01,399
Speaker 1: As Rachel nichols talked about, you she talked about this,

530
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 1: earlier is if you want to be in The luca,

531
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 1: business build around. Him you probably can't be in The lebron.

532
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Business going. Forward Here's.

533
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:14,919
Speaker 9: Rachel there is a big sort of let's go to the,

534
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,200
Speaker 9: summer let's get, there let's move. Forward and while The

535
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 9: lakers have Said lebron is welcome back in the, organization

536
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 9: it's very clear that building Around luca does not Involve. Lebron,

537
00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,719
Speaker 9: JAMES i don't really blame some sort of the lazy

538
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 9: plays or the not getting to the rim as, much

539
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:34,439
Speaker 9: or some of the falling apart that we've, seen BECAUSE

540
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 9: i think everyone's mind on that team is we're going

541
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,440
Speaker 9: to fight as hard as we, can but we all

542
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 9: know we're not finals contenders right.

543
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 7: Now.

544
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. NO i mean the other thing that has not only,

545
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: surface but it's become, true and we remarked on this

546
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 1: multiple times this, week is it can't take a year

547
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: for something to. Work like it can't take a. Year

548
00:26:58,359 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 1: Dwayne wade And lebron worked fifteen. Games in fifteen games

549
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: in you're, like oh, crap they're really really, good and

550
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 1: their styles weren't perfect. Fits katie worked. Instantly they were

551
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: a year in the net ratings are. Bad When lebron

552
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 1: And luca are on the floor. Together you can't tell

553
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: me you believe in data and analytics and then just

554
00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: not use it For luca And. Lebron they're the Worst laker,

555
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 1: tandem the worst on the, team the worst. Tandem so

556
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:36,880
Speaker 1: the net, ratings the plus. Minus now When, Luca we've

557
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: been on this now for six, months When luca's on

558
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: the court With Austin, reeves actually it's fine Because luca

559
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:48,520
Speaker 1: is the clear, attacker he is the clear, centerpiece And

560
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:53,840
Speaker 1: austin plays off. Him but Asking, lebron an inconsistent deep,

561
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: shooter to play off anybody at this point in his,

562
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: career it's not gonna. WORK i remember the first game.

563
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: Back Remember lebron didn't start the, year he was, injured

564
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: and then he came back for a game and everybody,

565
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: said oh my, god they played together, Great AND i,

566
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: said take a deep, breath it's a. Game Is, lebron

567
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: over the course of the next fifty games gonna be

568
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:18,880
Speaker 1: fine Being luca's Valet and the answer is. No Austin

569
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: reeves has no. Problem undrafted, guy, grateful, humble he had

570
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 1: no problem being the valet To. Luca lebron's not gonna do.

571
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,920
Speaker 1: That and the other thing is they've got draft Picks lebron's,

572
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: game it would have fit much Better it would have

573
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 1: never fit ideally with D wade Or, luca but it

574
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 1: would have fit much. Better it would have fit much

575
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: better With lucas seven years ago when When lebron was

576
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 1: still in his, prime because he was still seven eight

577
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 1: years ago an elite. Defender he's not go look at

578
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: how Many lebron games he's best in the first. QUARTER i,

579
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 1: mean he's really a very effective first quarter, player but

580
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have the juice and the energy to give

581
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: you those forty plus nights on both ends of the.

582
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Floor so it just it just doesn't. Work and you

583
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,000
Speaker 1: want to be somewhat you want to be classy and

584
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:15,320
Speaker 1: elegant and little artistic on the, separation but nothing should

585
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,800
Speaker 1: take a. Year it's like if you're, married if you're

586
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 1: in therapy three times a, week that's too much. Work you,

587
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:27,680
Speaker 1: know marriage and relationships shouldn't need therapy three times a.

588
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: WEEK i got a year Of luca And. Lebron i've

589
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: got out of Shape luca last year coming off an,

590
00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: injury in Shape luca this, year And Austin reeves was

591
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,280
Speaker 1: available both, years So i've got, well they've only played

592
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: so many games. Together that's Because luca's hurt And lebron's.

593
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:49,120
Speaker 1: Old So i've got more than enough data that tells, Me,

594
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah lebron And luke on the floor, together it's not.

595
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: Great it's bad, defensively and it's not exactly a great fit.

596
00:29:56,200 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 1: Offensively so the highest scoring due on The lakers this

597
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: year Is luca And Austin. Reeves lebron And luca are

598
00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 1: the seventh highest Scoring laker. Duo now try to figure that.

599
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: Out how in the hell is that? Possible so the

600
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 1: future of this franchise IS Jj, Reddick luca And Austin.

601
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:23,560
Speaker 1: Reeves outside of, That i'd move, everything including the. Furniture

602
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: i'd move. Everything IT'S Jj, Reddick, Luca Austin, reeves AND

603
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: i would Move Austin reeves IF i got the right.

604
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 1: Offer but it is nice to have a second shot

605
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 1: creator When luca goes to the bench And austin is

606
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 1: a bucket, getter a free throw, getter hustles his butt

607
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: off limited, Defensively but the whole damn roster Is But

608
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 1: i'm not Anti Austin. REEVES i think you can win

609
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: a championship If Austin reeves is your fourth best, player

610
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: AND i think you can get to a Conference. Final

611
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: If Austin reeves is your third best, player if he's

612
00:30:54,360 --> 00:31:01,080
Speaker 1: your second best, PLAYER i, mean let's be, honest if you,

613
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: moved if you Let lebron go and you Moved Austin

614
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,480
Speaker 1: reeves and a bunch of picks to Get, jannis wouldn't

615
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: that feel? Better janice And, luca that's actually a great

616
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: fit because you can Protect luke on the back. End

617
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 1: that's actually a really good. Fit but, YEAH i mean
