WEBVTT - Luka Doncic TAKES OVER Spurs-Lakers, NFL Trade Deadline Reaction, Kyler BENCHED? | Nick Wright 0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:05.360 Welcome in. We'll drive in the great episode three eighty eight. 0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:08.920 As we get to week ten, I can't believe it. 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:12.239 Week ten in the NFL, as we react to the 0:00:12.280 --> 0:00:16.360 trade deadline and a little bit of NBA as well 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.680 as the Lakers kept us up quite late last night, 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:24.040 and Luca reminded everyone more on this than just a 0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:30.080 second that Wimby might be coming. But he's not quite 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:34.559 there yet. And we will, in fact, you know what 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.720 we will before we get to trade deadline. We're gonna 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:39.519 do a little bit on the Lakers in the Spurs. 0:00:39.560 --> 0:00:41.440 But this episode of the show is brought to you 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:44.640 by boost Mobile and we'll get right to it. Demonsay 0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.040 straight to voicemail, brought to you by boost Mobile. Zion 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:50.640 out seven to ten days with a hamstring injury. At 0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.760 this point, let's just do send in the Zion for 0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:57.720 Joh trade. Jos lost his joy. The Grizzlies are a mess. 0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:00.760 The Pelicans are a mess, like they were one two 0:01:00.760 --> 0:01:03.280 in a draft. Just see if that fixes anything for 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.880 either one of these guys. I have two. Which of 0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.280 my fake Joh trades do you like more? My three 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:15.200 team maligned Southeastern point guard trade of John to Charlotte 0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:19.800 LaMelo to Atlanta trade of Memphis or joh for Zion? 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:21.920 Straight up, which one do you like more? 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:24.440 The first one? I think. I think the Pelicans probably 0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:28.639 want Zion more than they want Jah turning a corner. 0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:30.760 He's just kind of hamstring thing going on right now. 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.360 Oh yeah, he's turning the corner, except for the fact 0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:38.000 that he has now hurt again. I mean, and the 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.520 Pelican drafted Derek Queen, who's a little redundant with Zion. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.240 I don't know those teams. Both teams are a mess 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.880 for being totally honest. And this is if I didn't 0:01:46.880 --> 0:01:49.400 say the straight to voicemail brought to you by Boost 0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.680 Mobile Thursday night Football Raiders at Broncos. And then the 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:55.560 Lakers get a great win last night against the Spurs. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:02:01.280 So let's just talk about that for a second. Luca's 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:08.320 been absolutely historically great in the games he's played. Only 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.800 Wilt has ever scored more points through the opening five 0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:15.680 games of a season, and he did it twice. Then 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:20.600 Luca's even two hundred through the first five games this year. 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:26.239 And the listen, the Spurs have been excellent, and I 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.880 understand the Spurs are dealing with injuries of their own. 0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:35.560 But it is hard not to look at the Lakers 0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:41.800 with no Lebron, with Austin having missed time, and obviously 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.040 Luca's missed some time as well, sitting at seven and 0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:52.320 two alone in second place in the Eastern Conference, only 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:57.280 behind the Thunder and obviously I shouldn't say obviously and 0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:02.880 shockingly the Chicago Bulls for overall record in the NBA. 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:07.440 But it's very hard to look at Luca doing what 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.799 he's doing and the Lakers sitting at seven and two, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.520 and then not also look at the Mavericks doing what 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:21.840 they're doing, sitting in dead last in the Western Conference 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:28.160 at two and six, and not revisit what is will 0:03:28.240 --> 0:03:34.000 go down in history as one of the most inexplicable, indefensible, 0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:39.040 unforced errors a franchise has ever made. And I know 0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:42.920 there was a very brief moment when people were like, well, 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:50.960 now that they've gotten Cooper Flag, maybe it all works out. Demons. 0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:56.560 I'm here to tell you if Nico Harrison today called 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:03.560 up Rob Bolenka and said we will trade you Anthony 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:09.760 Davis and Cooper Flag for Luka Doncic, they would say, no, 0:04:11.000 --> 0:04:17.440 that is and the how good is Luca. Really, conversation 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:22.080 that was briefly had last year was categorically insane from 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:27.679 start to finish, and up to this moment of the season, 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.599 he's been either the best or the second best player 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:37.839 in the sport. Giannis is playing at a just incomprehensible 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:43.760 level and Luca has missed time. But Luca giving you 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:52.120 a nice tidy forty eleven and nine on fifty percent shooting, 0:04:52.279 --> 0:05:01.960 despite shooting thirty percent from three, has just been not 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.400 shocking because you know how good he is, but remarkable 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:11.160 and it's why you know a lot of people This 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:16.400 isn't me picking on Bill, but Bill probably the most 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:21.920 noteworthy of the folks that coming into the year, we're 0:05:22.080 --> 0:05:28.200 just totally, unabashedly, unequivocally writing the Lakers off as having 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:35.480 any chance, any chance to be a real contender. And 0:05:36.160 --> 0:05:42.320 the reason that struck me as a little myopic was, Man, 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:46.200 if you had all of NBA history tells us, if 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:51.000 you have a clear cut top three guy, unless the 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:55.280 team is just in total shambles around him, you're at 0:05:55.360 --> 0:06:01.320 least contender adjacent. And Luca has been a clear cut 0:06:01.720 --> 0:06:05.440 top three guy. Obviously, again, the honest has been great 0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:09.719 Shay has been unbelievable, and the thunder losing last night's 0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:13.200 shocking because it's shocking that they lose. That team is 0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:17.760 going to win seventy games if they want to. But 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:23.839 the Lakers surviving this stretch of no Lebron, Luca in 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:28.760 and out of the lineup, beating the Spurs who have 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:36.599 been red hot, and now say it again like yeah, 0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:40.840 I mean and Reeves obviously playing great. And now if 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:46.400 you're the Lakers, I don't know when Lebron's coming back. 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:56.280 But over the next two weeks you have Atlanta, Charlotte, OKC, Brutal, 0:06:57.240 --> 0:07:04.520 New Orleans, Milwalk that's a road trip, and then Utah Utah. 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.560 So you've got seven games over the next two and 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:13.400 a half weeks, all of them on the road, except 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:17.600 for one game against Utah before you start a homestand 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.480 which is maybe where they would hope Lebron could come back. 0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:29.280 And the expectation should be to go five and two 0:07:29.400 --> 0:07:33.080 in that seven game stretch, at the very least four 0:07:33.120 --> 0:07:39.520 and three and be eleven and five, twelve and four 0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:44.520 through the first month and a half of the season, 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:48.120 well really the first month of the season, which would 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:52.679 be phenomenal and so Luca's just playing out of his mind, 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:57.520 just absolutely out of his mind. And Austin, when Luca 0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:03.480 wasn't there, was playing out of his mind, and you 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:09.120 thought I was gonna skip it. Demonse, credit where it's due. 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:10.400 Minutes last night. 0:08:11.000 --> 0:08:15.480 No, no, no, I'm not talking, Bronnie. I'm talking. I'm talking. 0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:16.960 I don't know if it's fair to call him your 0:08:17.040 --> 0:08:17.840 guy guy. 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:25.239 Dere Yeah, dominating. He showed up last night. He's been good. 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:31.440 He was really rough very early on, but twenty two 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:35.520 and ten last night when they were super shorthanded, twenty 0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.920 nine and ten against the Blazers. The no, he's been 0:08:41.600 --> 0:08:46.640 he's he's played well for him, and so fair is fair. 0:08:46.720 --> 0:08:50.520 Credit to Blinka, a lot of credit to JJ Reddick 0:08:51.040 --> 0:08:54.319 who has this team ready to play every night, and 0:08:55.520 --> 0:08:58.800 Jake la Ravia has done well. They're legit. They're legit 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:05.320 seven and two beating the Spurs, uh without Austin Reeves 0:09:07.120 --> 0:09:11.320 and obviously no lebron And they did try to blow 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:15.040 it at the end, but whatever, like that's the way, 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:22.080 you know, not at all now. I didn't. I didn't 0:09:22.120 --> 0:09:25.920 write them off because of the respect for Luca and 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:29.320 because I felt like when Lebron comes back, they'll still 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:31.160 be one of the only teams in the league with 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.360 two top ten guys, because that's what we'll see what 0:09:34.440 --> 0:09:36.440 Lebron is this year. But last year he was a 0:09:36.640 --> 0:09:42.320 clear top eight guy. But no, I didn't think they'd 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:47.800 be able to handle Lebron missing the first ten games, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:51.559 plus Austin being out of the lineup some, Luca being 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.880 out of the lineup some, and I mean they've been 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:57.960 they've been excellent. So credit to the Lakers. All right, 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:00.520 let's get to the trade line. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.240 Super big, super busy trade deadline yesterday, and a lot 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:06.920 of it formulated around the Jets getting rid of players 0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:10.080 because they can't do anything, trading over to Dallas and Indianapolis. 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:12.880 Which team would you like to start with first? 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:18.560 I want to start with the Cowboys, Okay, so yeah, 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:19.480 go ahead. 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.439 After trading for Logan Wilson, Dallas followed up by trading 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.360 a Hall first in a second, I believe for Quinn Williams. Yep, 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.679 Jerry Jones is talking about how he wants to win 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.280 now because of his age. Doesn't kind of seem like 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:31.560 their season is already over. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:39.280 Well, their seasons definitely already over, And I explained this 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:43.200 in short form on TV, but I am going to 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:52.480 lay it out further here. They barely barely got more 0:10:53.840 --> 0:11:00.319 for Micah Parsons than they traded away for Quinn Williams. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:07.920 So let's do the actual accounting of what the Cowboys 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:13.320 got for Micah Parsons. Okay, they got the next two 0:11:13.559 --> 0:11:18.160 Packer first round picks, which we obviously don't know what 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:23.920 picks those will be. But this year, the Packers right 0:11:23.960 --> 0:11:28.280 now have the twenty fourth pick of the draft. It 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.280 would you know, it could go up if they go 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:32.320 on a real playoff run. It could go down if 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.480 they get bounced in round one, but that's what they have. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:42.640 And then next year's Packers' first round pick, and they 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.640 got Kenny Clark more on him in a moment. For 0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:52.280 quinnn Williams, they traded away their own second round pick, 0:11:52.920 --> 0:11:56.920 which right now would be the forty sixth pick of 0:11:56.960 --> 0:12:01.920 the draft. So again in the Ka trade and quinnin trade, 0:12:02.920 --> 0:12:07.959 they received what would be the twenty fourth pick and 0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.600 sent out what would be the forty sixth pick, so 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.920 a twenty two pick jump. Will see how those move, 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:20.400 but that's a good framework, and then they will be 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:28.560 sending out whatever is the better pick between their own 0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:36.240 first after next season and the Packers first after next season. 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:44.440 So there is no chance whatsoever none that for the 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:50.240 twenty twenty seven first rounder that they receive a better 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:55.280 pick from the Packers than they give to the Jets, 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:59.480 because whatever the better pick is, they give to the Jets. 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:06.400 And then you add to it that, because you have 0:13:06.480 --> 0:13:13.000 traded for Quinn Williams and signed Oshia Digazua to an extension, 0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:21.520 you almost assuredly are this offseason cutting Kenny Clark. The 0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:29.800 best case scenario for the Cowboys is the different in 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:34.800 draft compensation they gave up for Quinn Williams compared to 0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:39.640 what they received for Micah Parsons is the equivalent of 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:44.079 about a third round pick. And the worst case scenario 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:51.960 is they actually ended up giving up more for Quinn 0:13:52.000 --> 0:13:55.000 Williams than they received for Micah Parsons. And you might say, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:57.280 how could that be, Well, here's how it could be. 0:13:58.880 --> 0:14:06.040 The Cowboys in up drafting tenth in this year's draft, 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:11.280 so that'd be second round pick forty two. The Packers 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.080 make it forget even win the Super Bowl, make it 0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:18.280 to the conference championship game, they give up, so they 0:14:18.280 --> 0:14:22.480 give to Dallas' first round pick twenty nine, so that's 0:14:22.480 --> 0:14:27.840 a thirteen pick delta. Next year, the Packers make it 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:31.920 back to the conference championship game, they give Dallas the 0:14:31.960 --> 0:14:36.920 twenty ninth pick again, and next year Dak Prescott gets hurt. 0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:41.080 The Cowboys have a year from hell and they end 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.080 up getting or hell. They just have the same year 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:47.760 they had this year where Dak doesn't get hurt and 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.000 they but they have a bad year. They have the 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:55.080 tenth pick of that draft and they give that pick 0:14:55.440 --> 0:15:00.360 to the Jets. It is absolutely on the board. What 0:15:00.800 --> 0:15:05.400 they receive from Green Bay are two picks in the 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:11.400 late twenties, and what they give to the Jets is 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:15.960 a pick in the low forties and a pick in 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:23.080 the teams, which is when you are sending out a 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:33.760 more valuable younger player. Just totally unacceptable. I understand quinnin 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:38.240 is cheaper than Micah, but that is not enough to 0:15:38.320 --> 0:15:44.920 offset the difference in value of the players impact on 0:15:45.000 --> 0:15:53.760 the field. And so this Cowboys move, even if Quinn 0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:58.480 Williams is really good and I think he is, is 0:16:01.080 --> 0:16:09.160 as baffling of an NFL trade as you'll see for years, 0:16:10.440 --> 0:16:16.520 and it totally goes against demons. Jerry's whole take, which 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:18.960 was trading. 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:21.040 Micah defense stop the run. 0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:23.880 Well, no, no, no, stop the run part of it. It 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.680 does work because cornewilliams better at that than Micah, but 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:29.880 he kept saying, we'll be able to get three or 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.120 four players. You got two extra picks for Micah, you 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:40.560 gave two extra picks up for Quinnen. And again that 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:46.320 the Cowboys agreeing to send the better of the two 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.640 picks they have in the twenty twenty seven draft is 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:57.320 unfathomable because here's the other piece of it. Let's say 0:16:58.360 --> 0:17:02.880 Jordan Love a year from now gets hurt and the 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:08.760 Packers fall off a cliff in a very difficult NFC North, 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:12.440 and the Packers have the sixth pick of the draft 0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:16.760 two years from now. You don't get that now. That 0:17:16.920 --> 0:17:17.880 goes to the Jets. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:24.200 So it's right in line with everything else that's been 0:17:24.240 --> 0:17:26.400 going on with the Cowboys and Jerry. It makes sense. 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:28.720 It doesn't make sense for it makes sense for Jerry 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:29.280 to be doing it. 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:34.000 Yes, it's just awful business. Now the Colts piece of 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:42.200 it is more understandable, but somehow even riskier. So go ahead. 0:17:42.680 --> 0:17:46.199 The Colts are seeming to go all in on Daniel Jones. 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:49.439 They traded two first rounders to get Sauce Gardner. Do 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.200 you think that this is a little bit too earlier 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:55.040 for them? 0:17:55.200 --> 0:18:01.160 I I respect the guts, and unlike the Dallas move, 0:18:02.200 --> 0:18:05.800 you at least see the logic of it. The logic 0:18:05.880 --> 0:18:11.040 of it is, we have our quarterback, we like our team, 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:17.200 We are trying to win right now, Let's add a 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.880 blue chip player, which Sauce has been at the first 0:18:21.960 --> 0:18:24.040 two years of his career. He has not been the 0:18:24.080 --> 0:18:26.080 last year and a half. But you know, you know, 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:29.560 he's young, and he's on a cost control deal. You 0:18:29.640 --> 0:18:31.720 believe they obviously believe you can get back to it. 0:18:33.600 --> 0:18:37.000 So that's the logic of it. It is the exact 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:42.840 same logic that led to the Dolphins trading for Tyreek, 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:52.200 that led to the Packers trading for Micah. We we 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:57.080 love our team, think adding one more piece can put 0:18:57.119 --> 0:19:03.960 us over the top. Oh, I understand it. I think 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:07.600 it's one of the riskiest moves I have seen a 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:14.640 team make in ten years. So here are the circumstances 0:19:15.600 --> 0:19:19.320 over the last decade. Demonse that teams have traded away 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:25.320 multiple first round picks for a player not during the draft, 0:19:25.400 --> 0:19:31.080 but for an established player. The Chicago Bears traded two 0:19:31.080 --> 0:19:35.160 first round picks for Khalil Mack. They did that one 0:19:35.240 --> 0:19:37.879 year after spending the second pick of the draft on 0:19:37.920 --> 0:19:41.880 Mitch Krubisky. They were wrong, but they thought, we've got 0:19:41.920 --> 0:19:47.359 our quarterback. Let's go add to the defense. The Rams 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:55.000 traded two first round picks away for Jalen Ramsey. They 0:19:56.440 --> 0:20:00.520 did that month's removed from going to the Super Bowl 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:05.200 with golf. They said, we've got our quarterback, let's add 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:08.560 to the defense. Again. They ended up souring on that quarterback, 0:20:08.560 --> 0:20:14.120 but they believed they had the quarterback. The Jets, I'm sorry. 0:20:14.200 --> 0:20:18.439 The Seahawks traded away two first round picks for Jamal 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:24.440 Adams in twenty twenty. They believed Russell's you know we're 0:20:24.480 --> 0:20:27.440 gonna be our quarterback long term. Let's go at another 0:20:27.480 --> 0:20:31.920 piece again. That trade was a catastrophe, but they had 0:20:31.920 --> 0:20:37.360 real reason to believe their quarterback was in place. Obviously, 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.679 The Packers traded away two first rounders for Micah and 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:45.600 I might be leaving one out for the Colts to 0:20:45.640 --> 0:20:51.159 be doing this, not only when it's just been a 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:55.040 half season of good Daniel Jones but and this part's 0:20:55.080 --> 0:20:59.520 important to manse. They don't even have Daniel Jones locked 0:20:59.600 --> 0:21:03.639 up on a contract is stunning. 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:08.439 I mean the Bears go ahead, I mean Daniel, like 0:21:08.520 --> 0:21:10.720 Daniel could leave or something or leave them high and 0:21:10.800 --> 0:21:12.800 dry or no. 0:21:12.960 --> 0:21:16.240 But they are now over a barrel on back. 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.040 Oh, it's because when it comes time, cap space is 0:21:20.080 --> 0:21:20.760 already too high. 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:25.760 That's fair well, and it's it's the it's how are 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:27.960 you going to replace me? You don't have a first 0:21:28.040 --> 0:21:32.439 round pick this year or next year, and the franchise 0:21:32.520 --> 0:21:36.240 tag number is forty six million dollars. 0:21:36.680 --> 0:21:39.159 Daniel Jones, I guess strikes me as a team friendly 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:39.760 type of guy. 0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:44.600 I buddy, he already got four years one sixty from 0:21:44.600 --> 0:21:48.120 the Giants when they were in this situation. I don't know, 0:21:48.280 --> 0:21:49.440 know like. 0:21:49.720 --> 0:21:51.400 The he. 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:57.680 The Colts have put themselves in a position now where 0:21:57.760 --> 0:22:01.000 Daniel is gonna get all call my shout on it 0:22:01.080 --> 0:22:05.120 right now, four years, one hundred and eighty million dollars 0:22:05.960 --> 0:22:11.240 forty five million dollars a year. And the other piece 0:22:11.280 --> 0:22:16.720 of it that is wildly risky if you're the Colts, 0:22:17.560 --> 0:22:26.639 is they even if you believe Daniel Jones is just good, 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:33.639 bad circumstances, bad luck, bad coaching with the Giants. Dating 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:39.120 back to his last year of college, there has been 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:46.200 one season he was fully healthy. So you are putting 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:49.919 all in college, he broke his collar bone. In the pros, 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.639 he's torn his acl out, a neck injury, an ankle 0:22:52.640 --> 0:22:56.840 out of hamstring. You are putting all your eggs in 0:22:56.920 --> 0:23:02.359 this basket in a way that is stunning to me. Stunning. 0:23:03.160 --> 0:23:07.120 They have painted themselves in a corner where yep, we 0:23:07.240 --> 0:23:12.720 saw eight good games from Daniel Jones. I know they've 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.120 played nine, but the last one was awful. Eight good 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:20.639 games from Daniel Jones, and now we are gonna remove 0:23:20.880 --> 0:23:28.200 any ability we have to pivot at that position. And 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:37.680 it's gutsy, it is. It's a real go all in move. 0:23:38.600 --> 0:23:45.880 I just wonder how it's gonna feel if this season 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:52.200 ends with them hosting a wild card playoff game against 0:23:52.240 --> 0:23:58.080 the Patriots and getting beat and they're one and done 0:23:58.240 --> 0:24:03.560 and it's like, Okay, this is just our team now. 0:24:04.080 --> 0:24:09.320 Like I wouldn't have done it. I also think it 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:13.280 is fair to ask, is that too much to pay 0:24:13.480 --> 0:24:21.600 for anything? Yeah? For any well, for any corner, pis 0:24:21.680 --> 0:24:26.560 a lot it and so like would it shock anyone. 0:24:27.240 --> 0:24:30.000 Here's the question I would have because when the Packers 0:24:30.040 --> 0:24:35.639 traded for Micah, it was it would have shocked people. 0:24:36.800 --> 0:24:39.720 If the Packers this year ended up with the ninth 0:24:39.760 --> 0:24:43.879 pick of the draft, right like, that would have been stunning, 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:50.080 Right would it shock? Would it be shocking if next 0:24:50.160 --> 0:24:57.280 year at this moment the culture three and six? Would 0:24:57.320 --> 0:25:02.720 that shock people? Wouldn't shock me? And so it is 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:08.160 Their past defense was bad. Lou Ana Arumo now has 0:25:08.200 --> 0:25:10.840 a great that probably the best corner he's ever had 0:25:11.320 --> 0:25:15.200 since he's been a coordinator. It's a hell of a move, 0:25:15.960 --> 0:25:18.479 but it would have been too rich for my blood. 0:25:18.840 --> 0:25:25.720 That's the thing. The Cowboys and the Colts making moves 0:25:25.760 --> 0:25:29.200 that I think would have been insane for the Chiefs 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:36.600 or the Bills to make. Is something else. All right, 0:25:36.640 --> 0:25:39.040 let's get to the other side of. 0:25:39.040 --> 0:25:42.399 These the Jets. They now have five first round picks 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:45.160 over the next two years, so surely they can't mess 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:47.240 this up, right they They're probably gonna get it on 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:47.639 the track. 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:51.200 Well, I mean, this is the exact situation they found 0:25:51.200 --> 0:25:55.760 themselves in which got him Quinnin and Sauce and Garrett 0:25:55.800 --> 0:25:59.439 Wilson and then they you know, they're now full blown, 0:25:59.640 --> 0:26:00.520 blown it up. 0:26:00.840 --> 0:26:02.040 Just got to get the quarterback, right. 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:11.960 Yeah, so I respect the Jets recognizing we are nowhere 0:26:12.000 --> 0:26:19.840 close and by the time we get close, Quinnin is 0:26:19.880 --> 0:26:23.960 probably out of his prime. Right he turns twenty eight 0:26:24.000 --> 0:26:28.000 here in a couple of weeks and sauce, I'm sure 0:26:28.040 --> 0:26:30.560 they wanted to keep but too first is just too 0:26:30.640 --> 0:26:33.440 rich of a price, particularly when it's too first from 0:26:33.600 --> 0:26:36.520 again from a team that's not like an established, every 0:26:36.600 --> 0:26:42.600 year good team. And so now, yeah, you've got a 0:26:42.680 --> 0:26:48.960 draft smart And if I'm the Jets, i am potentially 0:26:50.080 --> 0:26:56.800 in this year's draft, I'm open for business as well. 0:26:57.800 --> 0:27:01.800 I might move down there's not a quarterback I love. 0:27:03.119 --> 0:27:06.240 I might be willing to trade my own pick, which 0:27:06.280 --> 0:27:08.560 could be you know, the first, second, third, fourth pick 0:27:08.560 --> 0:27:14.520 of the draft, for even more draft capital and try 0:27:14.560 --> 0:27:20.080 to full on fully rebuild the team. It is good process. 0:27:20.720 --> 0:27:24.560 They just have to hit on these players. And I 0:27:24.680 --> 0:27:27.280 understand people can say, oh, the draft's a crap shoot. 0:27:27.680 --> 0:27:31.879 Here's the thing it, Yes, the draft is a crap shoot. 0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.199 But the fact of the matter is this, if you 0:27:36.800 --> 0:27:44.679 have a no doubt franchise quarterback on your team, unless 0:27:44.800 --> 0:27:51.560 your team unless your quarterback's name is Dak Prescott or 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:58.360 Jalen Hurts. That quarterback was taken in round one. Every 0:27:58.720 --> 0:28:01.720 people can talk all this stuff about, oh, well you 0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:08.680 can find quarterbacks anywhere. No, every single team that has 0:28:08.800 --> 0:28:13.320 the no doubt franchise quarterback, that quarterback was a first 0:28:13.400 --> 0:28:19.480 round pick except for Dak and Jail. That's it. Like, 0:28:19.600 --> 0:28:23.320 who are the no doubt franchise quarterbacks? They were first 0:28:23.440 --> 0:28:29.480 round picks. So the Jets acquiring a bunch of first 0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:34.440 round picks for a team that hasn't been able to 0:28:34.440 --> 0:28:38.200 get quarterback right is obviously something they need to do. 0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.840 And so I I don't begrudge it, begrudge them that 0:28:42.440 --> 0:28:46.280 I do feel badly for their fans because it's just 0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:49.239 perpetual rebuild too. 0:28:49.360 --> 0:28:53.080 Man, Like we just gave away everybody because you're trash. 0:28:53.360 --> 0:28:55.280 Well yeah, I mean we'll feel I mean, Fields isn't 0:28:55.280 --> 0:28:58.600 the guy. I mean, just he isn't the guy? What's 0:28:58.640 --> 0:28:58.960 the point? 0:28:59.160 --> 0:29:02.280 Like? Feels how bad for that? I like justin Fields? Oh, 0:29:02.360 --> 0:29:04.600 but Kansas City, they were trying to trade a fourth 0:29:04.640 --> 0:29:07.600 for Breese Hall. The Jets wanted a third. Are you 0:29:07.680 --> 0:29:09.000 surprised that they couldn't get anything? 0:29:09.040 --> 0:29:14.040 Done there no listen, I trading a third round pick 0:29:14.120 --> 0:29:16.920 for eight games of Breese Hall and then he walks 0:29:16.960 --> 0:29:20.360 in free agency would have been bad process. I and 0:29:21.640 --> 0:29:24.640 I think the Chief the Chiefs offense is gonna be fine. 0:29:25.160 --> 0:29:27.400 They need the offensive lineman back, and the offense is 0:29:27.440 --> 0:29:29.560 gonna be great. I'm not worried about the offense. I 0:29:29.600 --> 0:29:31.440 would have liked them to try to trade for a 0:29:31.480 --> 0:29:35.520 pass rusher. I thought what Philly did in adding Jail 0:29:35.600 --> 0:29:40.600 and Phillips was good, but you know that is I 0:29:40.640 --> 0:29:45.040 am I And I also, if I were Veach, I 0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.840 probably would have also held my ground because it's like, really, Jets, 0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:55.240 you're gonna after trading away Sauce and quinnin, you're gonna 0:29:55.240 --> 0:29:57.800 hold on to a running back who you're just gonna 0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:01.000 let walk in free agency? And the the Jets were like, yeah, 0:30:01.040 --> 0:30:03.600 we are. But I would have also, I would have 0:30:03.640 --> 0:30:06.520 played that game of chicken. I'm surprised the Jets didn't 0:30:07.160 --> 0:30:10.360 agree to it. All right. Today's show is brought to 0:30:10.360 --> 0:30:13.400 you by our new presenting sponsor, hard Rock Bet.
