1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: And now move the sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,320 Speaker 1: What's up everybody walking? And moved to stick DJ Bucky 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: back together? Buck, how are you my front man? I'm good. 4 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,239 Speaker 1: Had a good weekend. The tournament, the NCAA Tournament, March 5 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:19,079 Speaker 1: Madness lived up to billing. It's kind of crazy watching 6 00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: basketball now and the teams that wined the teams that darn't. 7 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: I didn't get a chance to see Indiana's game last night. 8 00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: It was an awful box score. I know that you can't. 9 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: They can't. They can't rebound. I mean I saw the 10 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: box where they give up like twenty something offensive rebounds. 11 00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, you're not winning when you do that. 12 00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: So here's the funny thing. Um Like, one observation I 13 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 1: will say is that basketball has become far more physical 14 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:47,199 Speaker 1: than I ever remember it being. Uh Like, if you 15 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: can't play defense, if you're not willing to put your 16 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,640 Speaker 1: body on folks like, you have tough time winning. And 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: the differences in conferences. When you look at SEC teams play, 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: they're very very comfortable with it being a rugby match. 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,759 Speaker 1: Some of the teams, like ACC teams were not. They 20 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: were not into it. Like it's a different it's a 21 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: different hustle, but it's good to see. I will say, look, 22 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: the Big Ten had a bunch of teams, but Michigan 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,840 Speaker 1: State is the last team standing. Time is obviously a 24 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: friend of Steve Mariucci, which makes him a friend of 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: the show, kind of like sixth down the line separation. 26 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,839 Speaker 1: But DJ, I think college basketball now is one where 27 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: college coaches have a bigger impact on who wins and 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: loses because of the teams that are doing it with 29 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: older players, teams that are systematic, they're finding a way 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: to get to the winners circle because the coach has 31 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 1: a lot of influence and impact on the way the 32 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: game is decided. Yeah, it's interesting. We'll see how that. 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 1: You know, the transfer era of college basketball as well 34 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: as the one and Dunns and now football in college football, 35 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: I think is trending a little bit, not directions because 36 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: we have so much movement, so is in other words, 37 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,520 Speaker 1: is they're going to be a team team that maybe 38 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,720 Speaker 1: we get in this next era. You know, I don't 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,639 Speaker 1: think people were thinking about it like this, but maybe 40 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 1: we get like maybe it's not a group of five team, 41 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: but maybe a lower level power five team that all 42 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 1: of a sudden keeps their group together the whole time, 43 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 1: and while there might be some other talented teams that 44 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: are going up against they're gonna be a more cohesive team, 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: complete team. And we could see somebody outside of the Georgia, Alabama, 46 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,959 Speaker 1: Ohio State, you know, Clemson group go win a national championship. Yeah. No, 47 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,519 Speaker 1: I think it's funny. I think we've had a couple 48 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: of different examples of the last two years. So we 49 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 1: saw TCU kind of crack the playoff format and then Cincinnati. 50 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: And that Cincinnati team in particular was one that was 51 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: an older team, had a couple of transfers on there, 52 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 1: but they kind of were under the radar, but they 53 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: were able to build a team, develop a team, and 54 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 1: develop a team to understood the system because they were 55 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,440 Speaker 1: four and five year players. There is I believe there 56 00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: is like a margin or a pathway for a college 57 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 1: team to take that approach and have a lot of 58 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: success being able to do it. Now, they may never 59 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 1: topple the Ohio States or the Alabamas of the world, 60 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: because maybe just the talent is overwhelming, But who's to 61 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: say that you can't have a team that like TCU 62 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: snatch down Michigan, or you have a team that is 63 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: able to maybe win a playoff game, particularly as it expands, 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 1: you may see some of these things create some upsets, 65 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 1: and upsets will be great because as you have an 66 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: expanded playoff field, you would like to see some upsets 67 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: kind of change the pecking order, so you just don't 68 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: have a chalk situation where just all the top seeds 69 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 1: go to the final four. I'm with you on that, 70 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: and we'll transition to free agency here in a second. 71 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: But I think you just hit on it. Buck To me, 72 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: it makes it more interesting when you get some new 73 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: names in the mix. And I feel like in college football, man, 74 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: it's you know, and the SEC. The SEC, in terms 75 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: of their resources and commitment had just you know, they've 76 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: just dominated for so long now. And I would say, 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: tell me if this has any bearing, if you think 78 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: there's any truth to this, But just watching like the 79 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: body types of the SEC teams in basketball, I'm like, Man, 80 00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: I wonder if all this football money that's coming into 81 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: it's not making its way towards the basketball program in 82 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 1: terms of how these guys are being developed. Man, A, 83 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: you can afford to hire you can afford to hire 84 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: different coach when you have that type of athletic department 85 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: budget and number two, the resources you have in terms 86 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: of weight room, nutrition, everything else. It's got to be 87 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: off the charts. It has to be off the charts. 88 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: And it's an arms race, you know. We talk about 89 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 1: it like the SEC has going to slogan. It means more. 90 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 1: And you can just tell man when you look at 91 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: some of their athletics, like they certainly pour a lot 92 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: into it. When you think about their baseball, their basketball, 93 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: their football, like all of those teams in that conference, 94 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: they compete in a high level. And some of it 95 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: is because they understand what's required to have your teams 96 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,719 Speaker 1: play at a high level. It's not only dropping the 97 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: money to have the best head coach, but it's giving 98 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 1: them a fat budget where they then can go and 99 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: hire all the assistance, the nutritionists, the strength coaches, all 100 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,239 Speaker 1: of the other stuff that allows the program to run, 101 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: to operate at a high level. That's one of it. 102 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 1: And it's funny. I was reading something last night after 103 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Michigan State one about Izzo and Mail Tucker and how 104 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: they're having They call it kind of discommitment to excellence. 105 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: When it comes to their sports, the culture of excellence 106 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: and how Mail Tucker coming from Georgia and Alabama, one 107 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,040 Speaker 1: of the first things you needed, Hey we need a nutritionists, 108 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: we need to do all these things or whatever. And 109 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: then Tom Izzo being right on board the basketball team 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,760 Speaker 1: saying hey, we need those things too to elevate the program. 111 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,119 Speaker 1: And so your observation on some of those teams, Yeah, 112 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 1: when the football program is operating at a high level, 113 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: some of that I would call it peer pressure to 114 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 1: make sure that your other sports play at a high level. 115 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: I think that certainly seeps into the program. No, No, 116 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: it's interesting to see how all that stuff is connected there. 117 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 1: All right, we're going to jump into some free agency here. Again, 118 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 1: there's been a flurry of moves as we're recording. There's 119 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: still no Aaron Rodgers trade yet. I joked on on 120 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: Twitter Buck that I got my screen time report where 121 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 1: it shows you how much time you've been on your phone. 122 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 1: It was way up, and I'm like, God, it's rogects, man, 123 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: I just must be clicking refreshments. I'm to the point 124 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,359 Speaker 1: now I'm kind of just like, dude, just let me 125 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,359 Speaker 1: know when it's over. I'm not gonna do this daily 126 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: check in thing anymore. It's gonna happen. I mean, it's 127 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: just a matter of when. Yeah, it doesn't matter when. 128 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: When When will the Packers offer? I guess when? When 129 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: will the Jets meet their demands and those things? I 130 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: know they could hold them all the way out until 131 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: the day before the season, and that's stuff. At some 132 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: point if you're the Jets, you're like, hey, look man, 133 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 1: what are we gonna do? Like because you want to 134 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: get him in to me, the deadline that I have 135 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: in my mind is April seventeen, because that's when the 136 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: offseason program kicks off in earnest. I think around then, 137 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: that's when you want to have the movement. That's when 138 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,359 Speaker 1: you want to make sure that he is on the team. 139 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: And I think they'll find a way to get a 140 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: conversation now, right. But it's funny because I've seen in 141 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: reading articles where none executives believe that he is worth 142 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 1: a first round pick at this stage of his career, 143 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 1: and so it's I mean, I don't either. I feel 144 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: like he's a climbing play and I felt like last 145 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: year it was a regression that you have to be 146 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 1: aware of it's more likely he's going to continue to 147 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: be the player we saw last year than the one 148 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: that won MVPs. And so it's that fine line where 149 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 1: I understand why the Jets would want to hold the 150 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: line firm. Yeah, I don't know if I want to 151 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: give up a first round pick. I think conditional picks 152 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 1: have to be the way to go, because you just 153 00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: don't know one, what kind of player you getting to 154 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: how long he's going to play? And then three is 155 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 1: he gonna be committed? He was ninety percent retired when 156 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 1: he went into the hole, and then he came out 157 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: wanting to play man. To me, that's more telling than 158 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: anything about him being all in. Yeah, I'm sitting here, bucket, 159 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: I'm going it seems like they should be able to 160 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: work this thing out because here's the conversation as it 161 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: would go. And again, we weren't even planning to talk 162 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: on Rogers today, but we gotta get this. We gotta 163 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: get this in. So if if I'm the Jets right 164 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: and I say, hey, you know, we don't think he's 165 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: worth the first round pick, and then the Packers come 166 00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 1: back and say, well, no, no, this is four time MVP. 167 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 1: He is worth the first round pick. Then I'm going 168 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: to say, well, I'm not we're not going to pay 169 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: you the price for what he was. We want to 170 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: pay you the price for what he is. And the 171 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: packers say, but he could still play to MVP level. 172 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: And that's when the Jets have to turn around and say, 173 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: you know what, well, we both disagree on this. Let's 174 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: let's make sure that we're both right. In other words, conditionals. 175 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: So if what you're saying is right, that he's going 176 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: to play at a very high level, then you'll end 177 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: up getting a first round pick out of this thing. 178 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,239 Speaker 1: If what we're saying is he's not quite that player anymore, 179 00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: then the conditions might dictate that it's you know, some 180 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: other compensation you know, below that first round level. But 181 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,440 Speaker 1: that to me is like conditional picks. Get this thing done, 182 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: because that settles the argument of how much his value is. Well, 183 00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: his play, how he plays is going to determine how 184 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: much value he has. Yes, that's important. That's the easiest 185 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 1: way to do it. And as a way that you 186 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: would think that they would have been able to lock 187 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,080 Speaker 1: that up, Like what are we talking about? A three? 188 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: It turns into a two? Two, That turns into one three, 189 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: that turns into in year one, then you have another 190 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: one back then. I mean, there are a few different 191 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 1: ways that they can handle this. To make it right, 192 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 1: they need to get creative. But without a deadline, you 193 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760 Speaker 1: don't have any negotiation. So they just need a deadline. 194 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: There has to be a fictional deadline to create some 195 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: pressure to get this deal wrapped up. Yeah, there you go. 196 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: There's your Aaron Rodgers update for the Day's let's go 197 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: through some of these free agency moves. Brandon Cook's got 198 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 1: traded for the ninety fourth time. He's had one of 199 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: the most interesting careers man, and he performs. He puts 200 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: up numbers everywhere he goes, and he's a great dude, 201 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 1: a great teammate. Everybody loves him. But he's been traded 202 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 1: a bunch crazy. I want to say, what six out 203 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,600 Speaker 1: of eight years, he's had over a thousand yards. He's 204 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,840 Speaker 1: been very productive throughout his career. He's a nice fit 205 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 1: for them, good route runner. Still like people are pegg 206 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: him as like the vertical threat. I think he's kind 207 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 1: of a little bit more than that, but you put 208 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: him in that offense alongside Ceedee Lamb. Hopefully Michael Gallup 209 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: is fully healthy. Now they have a competent wide receiver corps. 210 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: Before they were playing with a short a short deck. 211 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 1: Now they have an opportunity need to make some things happen. 212 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 1: The bigger thing for me is looking at what are 213 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: they going to do in the backfield. Tony Polos is 214 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: on the franchise tag, but he's coming off an injury. 215 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,120 Speaker 1: We have seen how people are valuing running backs, particularly 216 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: in the off season the market. We know what the 217 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: draft has in store. How did the Cowboys elect the 218 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: field that spot? Because regardless of whether you signed Tony 219 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Polos on a big deal, short deal, or whatever, you 220 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: still have to have somebody else in the backfield. How 221 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 1: are the Cowboys going to feel that that void that 222 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: is created by Zeke's departure. Yeah, no, you know, and 223 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy calm plays man. I'm curious to see what 224 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: it all looks like. They're in Dallas, but Cooks is 225 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: performed everywhere he's been and he'll have a role there. 226 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 1: How about going back to his former team. Larmy Tounsil 227 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 1: negotiates his own deal, so he's been able to do 228 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 1: what Lamar Jackson hasn't been able to do in terms 229 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: of getting on the same page with his team on 230 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: a contract. But once again, the highest paid tackle in 231 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 1: the NFL, he gets three years what was seventy five million? 232 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 1: Yea three years seventy five million extension including fifty million guaranteed. 233 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 1: I love that just for the security of whoever they're 234 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: going to take at number two, knowing that that guy 235 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: is going to walk in the door and have a 236 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: big time franchise left tackle. There a few different lessons 237 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: to be learned from Laramie Tunsl's deal. One, offensive tackle 238 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: is still marquee position, so you pay a premium for 239 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 1: guys that are at the top. No matter what you 240 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:23,200 Speaker 1: think about him, he's been hurting those things. He's still 241 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: a top five tackle at the position. Two, the marketplace 242 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: is now one where you know, I know people like 243 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: seeing the big money deals, they like seeing the five 244 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: year deals with the fluffed out stuff at the end. 245 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: But what Laramie Tulsa is doing is really what is 246 00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 1: a real contract? Three years, get the money, go back 247 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 1: to the table. That's the way most guys are operating. 248 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: If you think about wanting to be always in line 249 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 1: with the marketplace, those shorter deals give you an opportunity 250 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: to continue to have multiple bytes at the Apple as 251 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 1: the market value escalates. And so we're seeing all of 252 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: these team signed these deals and is great apy like 253 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: the annual average per year, but it's fake money. It's 254 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: been offering the money because when you get to the 255 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 1: last couple of years, like it's fluff. It's all like 256 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: blown up's exaggerated. So Nana Layman Tounsel is doing it 257 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: the thing about it, and I know everyone is trying 258 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,599 Speaker 1: to figure out what did Lamar Jackson mean with the 259 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 1: cryptic tweet when he talked about three four one thirty three. 260 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: The only thing I will say is if you tally 261 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: that up and you talie up the franchise tags, that's 262 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: what it would have been. And so if the Ravens 263 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 1: offered that, that would have been Lamar Jackson basically agreeing 264 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 1: to play on three franchise tags. And then he has 265 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:50,079 Speaker 1: free agency. You joke about fully guaranteed money, I mean 266 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: it's look, it's the same. It's the same as if 267 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,760 Speaker 1: he plays this out year by year or if he 268 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 1: has signed it three year deal. The thing that you 269 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: don't want to do is give the team more years 270 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: years of security for the same guaranteed money you would 271 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: get on Francise Act. And so it's just a matter 272 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: of how they want to play this. But I'm gonna 273 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 1: be honest with you. I have Lamar Jackson in Baltimore 274 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: Ravens fatigue. I just want something to be done so 275 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: we can figure out what is going to happen with 276 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, whether he represents himself or not. I don't 277 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 1: think that's necessarily deal. I think it's just two guys 278 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: gotta get in the room. They gotta hash this out 279 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: and figure out what are they going to do going forward, 280 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: because the Ravens obviously need him as a franchise quarterback. 281 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:33,719 Speaker 1: And let's be honest, all of the musical chairs, all 282 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: the dance cards are taken filling up, so he has 283 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: to find a place to play, and the best place 284 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 1: for him to play is in Baltimore. Yeah, and again 285 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: I come back to the fact that Todd Monkin is 286 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,360 Speaker 1: going to be a first year coordinator there, and you 287 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,040 Speaker 1: design an offense and without Lamar Jackson, those are two 288 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,959 Speaker 1: different offenses. How you design that? So the some clarity 289 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 1: there would be much beneficial and in a spot there 290 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,040 Speaker 1: for a new coordinator trying to get his system installed. 291 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: I want to circle back on Tounsil with one last 292 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: thing here, Buckings, if your thoughts on this one. So 293 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: if we look at the tackle market, right, which is 294 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 1: that's a big number on the tackle market, and if 295 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: you look at historically, I was trying to fumble around. 296 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: I have the paper somewhere, but I couldn't find it. 297 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 1: But there's a you know, I've had our buddy Jack 298 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: to a study on where the majority of starters come from, 299 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: you know, by position where they get drafted, and offensive 300 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: tackles are the highest percentage of first round picks. So 301 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: like that's the position where you got to pay the 302 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: premier you got to take them in the first round 303 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 1: to get them. Those are you know, there's just aren't 304 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: many of them, so you've got to go up there 305 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: and get them. So here's my thing. If you look 306 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:38,680 Speaker 1: at what they cost in free agency, and you look 307 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,320 Speaker 1: at where you have to get them, don't you think 308 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: if you're a team like and I look at it 309 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 1: two places, if you're in position to get one of 310 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 1: the premier guys, and if we say that there's two 311 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: or three of those in this draft class, aren't those 312 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 1: the guys you want to trade up for because not 313 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: only are we getting a good player, we're getting a 314 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 1: bargain because if we don't, if we don't get one 315 00:14:57,080 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: in the draft, look what we gotta pay for one 316 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 1: of these guys if they ever get to free agency. 317 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: It's insane. So I think you could see teams move 318 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: up for the premier guys, and then if we have 319 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: those kind of tweeners, like like I look at some 320 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: guys like Anton Harrison, you know some people really like him. 321 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 1: You've got Bergieron from Syracuse is a good player. Uh, 322 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: those guys are tackles and Burgion could play inside, but 323 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: I think he'll end up staying at tackle. But those 324 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: guys are tweener, like early second round. But to me, 325 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: get the fifth year, like trade back into the bottom 326 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: of the first round, get a tackle and get that 327 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: extra year because look at the savings, and then you 328 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: get to use those savings to address other areas of 329 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: your roster. You know, it's interesting because without knowing where 330 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: the rest of that list comes in at, I would 331 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: guestimate that the number of guys that are kind of 332 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: playing at a high level, Like you have your offensive tackles, 333 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: you have your quarterbacks, I would maybe speculate that maybe 334 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 1: your pass rushers, but you can still find you can 335 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: still find pass rushers later. Like to me, the look 336 00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: look at it this year, I think I've got ten 337 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 1: pass rushers in my top fifty players. Like, you can 338 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 1: still find pass rushers even though the premier guys, the 339 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 1: von Miller, those guys are special, but you can still 340 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: find them in the third, fourth round. It's a lot 341 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: harder to find the starting tackle on the fourth, fifth 342 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: round than it is to find the edge rushing. Is 343 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: there any other position that kind of stood out in 344 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: that survey? The ejacted in terms of I think those 345 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 1: are the two main ones. And oh, you know what, 346 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: corner is pretty high up there too. You know, in 347 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: terms of the if you're looking at the top tier corners, 348 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: the top tier corners are first round picks for the 349 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: most part. Yeah, that's amazing, right. So yeah, so it's 350 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: still it's still kind of island position. Is that the deal? 351 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: You think their island positions. So it's a little easier 352 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,320 Speaker 1: to scout too. Yeah, you gotta be great athletes and 353 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: you gotta have some technical stuff to do it. But 354 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:48,200 Speaker 1: DJ is kind of pointing everyone when it comes to drafting. 355 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: If you talk about the trends, when you have those 356 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:51,840 Speaker 1: resets and you begin to like, hey, what's the best 357 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: way for us to attack the draft? It kind of 358 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: seems like anytime you have an opportunity to take an 359 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: offensive tackle, even if you have other ones, you should 360 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 1: always grab it. We've talked about Philadelphia how in the 361 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,800 Speaker 1: first round they typically always grass grab a pass protector 362 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 1: or a pass rusher because those are marquee positions. And 363 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,920 Speaker 1: so now if you open it up is quarterbacks, pass protectors, 364 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: pass rushers, cornerbacks where there you have it. The first 365 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: round should be reserved for those things. And if you're 366 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: doing it by value from an analytical standpoint, it makes 367 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 1: more sense to invest in those positions because you're saying 368 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 1: you're paying a premium if you don't draft him, and 369 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 1: the best ones come from the top of the board, 370 00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: So don't mess around and look at other positions elsewhere. 371 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: I mean, Andre Dillard get a ton of money. Andrew 372 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,040 Speaker 1: didn't even start, barely even played for Philly. They drafted 373 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: him the first round and then they draft my Latta 374 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: later he beats him out, and you've got Lane Johnson, 375 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 1: the All proet right tackle, he barely played, and when 376 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 1: he did in some of the preseason stuff, it wasn't good. 377 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 1: He got a ton of money from Tennessee to come 378 00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 1: in there and be there left tackle. So Philly's got 379 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 1: end up getting a compick. I'll betually they end up 380 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: getting a comp pick out of that deal. Okay, So 381 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: once again you talk about the factory, and so this 382 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: is one of the reasons why you talk about best 383 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 1: player available. Like people like to kind of give scouts 384 00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: a hard time when they talk about that, But when 385 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,720 Speaker 1: you think about best player available, if you're a team, 386 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,360 Speaker 1: like when the Eagles took Dillard, they kind of had 387 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 1: a need but not really, but they took them. And 388 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 1: so what happens is you never can have enough good 389 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 1: players because when you have good players, you can auction 390 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 1: them off and get back what you need. So the 391 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: Eagles didn't trade Dillard, but they get back a compensatory pick, 392 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: which is value. And so it just makes sense that 393 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,560 Speaker 1: at those premium positions to always stockpile talent in those 394 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,439 Speaker 1: regards in those areas, because it would give you an 395 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 1: opportunity not only to really have a roster with great 396 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: depth and talent, but it also gives you an opportunity 397 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 1: to pay it for it, so you can get some 398 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,199 Speaker 1: of that conversation back down the line, no doubt. All right, 399 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 1: let's take a quick breakcare When we come back, Bucky's 400 00:18:51,920 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: done some work on the best free agent signings and 401 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,479 Speaker 1: the teams that are the most improved. We're gonna hit 402 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 1: on both those topics right after this. All right, Black, 403 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: let's jump into this. You've got an article on some 404 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: free agency. We need to make sure we don't overlook 405 00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,439 Speaker 1: here some good signings here. What did you What did 406 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: you see from the overall group? What stood out to you? Well, 407 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: the one thing that stood out to me is like 408 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: some of these teams are making savvy moves and sometimes 409 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 1: you know it, like there's never a move made without 410 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 1: like a long term thought in terms of how this 411 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: is gonna play it out. So the first guy on 412 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:28,720 Speaker 1: the list that I thought was an interesting sign it 413 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 1: was Jared Stidham going to the Denver Broncos, Because at 414 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: first glance, I'm like, if you're Jared Stidham, why would 415 00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: you go to the Denver Broncos when you just played 416 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: for the Las Vegas Raiders. You had an opportunity to 417 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: start a few games at the end of the year, 418 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 1: why would you jump in to Russell Wilson's team. And 419 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: so maybe in that conversation when Sean Payton has him 420 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: sitting down and he's like, hey, Russell's a quarterback, but 421 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: I don't know, you never know. He struggled. If it 422 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 1: doesn't go well, maybe you have an opportunity. And so 423 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,639 Speaker 1: your Jared stid him. You're sitting there looking, I have 424 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 1: an offense guru, and Sean Payton, I have weapons. Go 425 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: lower on the outside. They're building up the offensive line. Maybe, 426 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: just maybe I get an opportunity to play, either by 427 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: look default or by injury. I get a chance to 428 00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: get up in there and get in the mix. And 429 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,320 Speaker 1: maybe I taught myself to a coach and the coordinator. 430 00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 1: He gives me the opportunity to really sustain and enhance 431 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,920 Speaker 1: my career. Let me give you a thought on that one. 432 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: If I was going to give advice to backup quarterbacks, 433 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 1: I would say take a job where there's a fruitful tree. 434 00:20:33,080 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is, go take a 435 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: backup job. In the Shanahan system. Sean Payton has had 436 00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: a lot of guys underneath him spread around league because 437 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,119 Speaker 1: guess what happens. They've passed those backup quarterback guys they 438 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,199 Speaker 1: around like like they're just like gift baskets. Chase Daniel 439 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,920 Speaker 1: has made a career off that, like he's been able 440 00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,160 Speaker 1: to say, you know what, hey, you get you hired. 441 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: You hired Joe Lombardi to run your offense down with 442 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: the Chargers. Well, hey, who we need to put with 443 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert? We'll throw Chase there. It's like having an 444 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: extra coach, you know, those guys that have played in 445 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 1: those systems. That's the deal. Man. You don't want to 446 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 1: go with a one off. You don't want to go 447 00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: off you know some guy that comes up from college 448 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 1: and go be a backup quarterback there. You've got no branches, man. 449 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: You gotta go somewhere where there's some branches. Yeah, it 450 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 1: is a look, it's a smart move and a few 451 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: different things. If you're Jerry system, you really think about 452 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: the long term. One we talk about backup quarterbacks go 453 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: to a place where you never have to play. I 454 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,920 Speaker 1: mean that's one thing. I mean Russell Wilson has been 455 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 1: and I a man for a while, So that's one 456 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 1: way to look at it. Another way is, hey, Let 457 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 1: me get coached by the best coach that I can find. 458 00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: Let me learn how to play the game at a 459 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: high level. Yes, I have the Belichick experience, has the 460 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 1: Josh M. Danis experience. Now it gets Sean Payton. I 461 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: am now getting a PhD. And how to play the 462 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 1: game at the quarterback position. But I do believe Sean 463 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: Payton is not necessarily tired of Russell. Some people are 464 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:51,480 Speaker 1: talking about the contract and all that, but you know, 465 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,080 Speaker 1: we're staying as the contracts are just funny money. If 466 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson doesn't play well, Sean Payton's gonna find a 467 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: quarterback that can do some things for him. Obviously, there 468 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 1: was some interest and Jared stid him coming off of 469 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: how he played at the end of the year, and 470 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: so maybe this is just a move to just kind 471 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: of file away and let's see how this one plays 472 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: out on the line. Now give me another one here. 473 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: What else did you like? So, you know, and thinking 474 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: about like some of these things. Mike GISICKI going to 475 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots. That is a big one for 476 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:21,600 Speaker 1: me because when you think about the Patriots, how the 477 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: Patriots have always been. They want to have two tight ends. 478 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 1: They want to have a traditional tight end and then 479 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: they want to have a guy that there's a move 480 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:30,399 Speaker 1: around guy. When you go all the way back to 481 00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 1: Robernkowsky and Aaron Hernandez, you look at some of the 482 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,679 Speaker 1: other moves that they've attempted to make when they had 483 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: just had Hith it didn't work. But it didn't work, yeah, 484 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: john Nu Smith. So that's why they had to find 485 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 1: someone else who can do what they thought John Nu 486 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: Smith was going to be able to do. But Bill 487 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:48,239 Speaker 1: Belichick wants to operate with two tight ends because it 488 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 1: creates mismatches. Gasicki is an interesting fine because man over 489 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: the middle of the field. You think about having him 490 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: and then Juju Smith Schuster. They're now able to go 491 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: back to playing the style ball that the Patriots want 492 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:04,679 Speaker 1: to play. And don't underestimate Bill O'Brien and what he 493 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 1: wants to do with Mac Jones. They're gonna try and 494 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: make this game easy for him. So now you have 495 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: a couple of mismatch options to be able to dictate 496 00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: the terms to the defense and make make make the 497 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: game pitching catch for the quarterback. All right, question, the 498 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 1: best thing about Mike Kasicki's game. Would you say, is 499 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: his catch radius and his value on you know, throwing 500 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: the ball up in the air, jump balls? Red zone? Yeah, 501 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: ri zone. You know where the Patriots were in red 502 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: zone offense last year? Probably done? Dead body, You're terrible, 503 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:41,919 Speaker 1: dead last, dead last. So you know, twenty seventh and 504 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 1: third down, dead last in the red zone. It's like, well, okay, 505 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 1: and that's another reason why. And we'll get to this tomorrow. 506 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 1: I got a new mock draft coming out, buck. I'll 507 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: give you a little teaser on that thing right here, 508 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 1: high together, Bijan Robinson, and everybody's gonna say, how where 509 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: does he go in the Patriots? I mean, that's why 510 00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: would they take a running back. Nobody takes a running 511 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: back in the first round. They've got Ramadre Stevenson. Well, 512 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: when you're dead last in the red zone and your 513 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: stink on third down, guess what helps you with that? 514 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 1: A guy that can pound the ball in and a 515 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: guy who's a weapon out of the backfield. And if 516 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: you look at third downs next year, if you went 517 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: with what they had last year, and now all of 518 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, Mac Jones on third down has Juju, Mike 519 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 1: Kisiki and oh By the way I've got Bjohn Robinson 520 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 1: flaring out like all of a sudden. Now the third 521 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 1: now numbers is gonna look a little different. Yeah, it's 522 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: absolutely going to look a little different. The running back 523 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,640 Speaker 1: conversation would be such an interesting one because everyone understands 524 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,200 Speaker 1: the value of running backs. With man, the value cannot 525 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: prevent you from grading a play and giving him is 526 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: just to think Bill Belichips with the other thirty one 527 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,560 Speaker 1: teams think, by the way, I mean, this is a 528 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: top five talent, like he is special. He is a legitimate, 529 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: I mean five starts talent, and so I just had 530 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: a hard time thinking that all of these teams are 531 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: gonna pass and just take a value price running back. 532 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 1: To me, it is kind of crazy, this dude is 533 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:05,239 Speaker 1: this Yeah yeah, in a draft where you don't have 534 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 1: many blue chip players, man, I am not going to 535 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,360 Speaker 1: pass on a blue chip player to take a guy 536 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 1: that is a lesser challenge just because he plays in 537 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,920 Speaker 1: marquee position. Yeah, I'm with you on that one. So anyway, 538 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: that we'll see what the Patriots look like and it 539 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 1: maybe gets the star next point here Again, if you 540 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: haven't read this article, go check out this article on 541 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: Buck on not overlooking some some key signings here in 542 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: free agency. You can check that out on NFL dot com. 543 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: But I want to transition over to just teams that 544 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: are improved. We just talked about the Patriots a little bit. 545 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: We think that offense could look a little different. We'll 546 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: see what they do in the draft. But like what 547 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,439 Speaker 1: they've done with you Ju and Mike Kasiki. Other teams 548 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: you think are the most improved through this process because 549 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 1: I got one and I think it's a slam dunk. 550 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 1: You think it's a slam dunning. I mean I like 551 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 1: slam dunk. A team that I believe is really improved, 552 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 1: I would say the Detroit Lions because it's an easy one. 553 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 1: They revamped their entire secondary, brought some guys over to 554 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: get look chance to Gardener Johnson to come over to 555 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 1: to to really upgrade what they want to do in 556 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: the back end. It allows ang Glen to be a 557 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 1: little more creative. They played with a lot of young players. 558 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,800 Speaker 1: This is a team that is legitimately making a push 559 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,879 Speaker 1: not only to make the playoffs, but they may be 560 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: able to be the best team in the division when 561 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 1: it's all said and done. And so this team is 562 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 1: really loaded up. I really like what they're doing. Yeah, 563 00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with the Bears, man, because not only 564 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,159 Speaker 1: not only do you go out there, you know and 565 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 1: get the get the ninth pick, you trade off number one, 566 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: you got dropped down to nine. I like what they're 567 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,679 Speaker 1: gonna have option wise there, but you get Dj more. 568 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,919 Speaker 1: Dj Moore is the best wide receiver to change teams 569 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 1: in the off season. He's a premier guy, and they 570 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: got him in that trade. So to be able to 571 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,720 Speaker 1: add a number one wide out, it's hard to do. 572 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: They accomplished that in free agency. You gotta get Nate Davis, 573 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: who's a guard who can come in there, plug and 574 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: play you look on the defensive side of the ball. 575 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: I mean, they spend a bunch of money there and 576 00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmund's kind of being the big ticket item to 577 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: come in And we talked about that on a previous 578 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: episode about you want to runcover two and you want 579 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: to run your mic down the middle of the field. 580 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:00,640 Speaker 1: That helps when you got somebody that's began as long 581 00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:03,159 Speaker 1: and ranging athletic as he is, so that's going to 582 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 1: be a good fit. So not only do you have 583 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 1: some talent, I think he got some great fits there, 584 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: and I think we're their position now with the ninth 585 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 1: overall pick, I think they're gonna be able to get 586 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,239 Speaker 1: one of the premier offensive linemen in the draft. And 587 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 1: so you add that to what you've already done getting 588 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,040 Speaker 1: a number one wide receiver. I think Justin Fields is 589 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:19,719 Speaker 1: going to look around him and say, Okay, we got 590 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 1: we got a little something to work with here. Now 591 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: he got something to work with. So we have an 592 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: opportunity to really see Justin Field maybe at his best, 593 00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:28,399 Speaker 1: and maybe he can dispel some of those narratives that 594 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: are out there about him being a running back playing quarterback. 595 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 1: To me, I never saw that when he was at 596 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 1: Ohio State because he didn't run the ball like that. 597 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,159 Speaker 1: I viewed him as a quarterback, and I think you 598 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480 Speaker 1: have an opportunity to show people that he can play 599 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 1: the position to throw it. He is a remarkable athlete, 600 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: but to me, the guy can sling it around. Another 601 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,040 Speaker 1: team that I think did a really good job, but 602 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 1: we always talk about this team is team is the 603 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,800 Speaker 1: ultimate hype team. Dallas Cowboys did a really good job 604 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: in free agency, in the trade and just addressing some 605 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 1: areas that they needed. They needed someone to play opposite 606 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,400 Speaker 1: treyvon Dick, so they able to go and a trade 607 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: for Stefan Gilmore didn't cost him anything. Really, You then 608 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: go and need another receiver to play opposite Ceedee Lamb. 609 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: You're go and get Brandon Cooks. Just the little things 610 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 1: that you need to do to put your team in 611 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 1: a position to win. Because if this is a quarterback 612 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: driven league, like we suggest, Jalen Hurst is the best 613 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 1: quarterback in the NFC right now. It is a look 614 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: as a coin flip. It's a race to be number two. 615 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: And if you believe you can get Dak Prescott to 616 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 1: number two by surrounding him with the right talent and 617 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: giving him a defense that can take the ball away, 618 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,080 Speaker 1: you have an opportunity to walk your way into the 619 00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 1: postseason and watch in the tournament anything happened. Cowboys have 620 00:28:39,080 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: done a solid job and I think they'll continue to 621 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 1: a solid job. This is a team that I'll expected 622 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 1: me in the mix next year. Yeah. I like that one. 623 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: I would also add the Pittsburgh Steelers have done some 624 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:51,239 Speaker 1: good things, getting Isaac Somalo late in free agency. They 625 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: get her big to come over. That's too offensive linemen, 626 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: you look at Patrick Peterson, who I think is just 627 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: a good fit there with Mike Tomlin is going to 628 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 1: be able to spread that message in that secondary where 629 00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:03,760 Speaker 1: they've got some good pieces. I think they did a 630 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: nice job. And then I think the Philadelphia Eagles as well, 631 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 1: Buck just in all the guys they kept, we thought 632 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: this is gonna be a mass exus. The biggest one 633 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: probably getting Kelsey to come back for another year, so 634 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: you get a premier center to come back. They resigned 635 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: Brandon Graham and Fletcher Cox on short term deals. Keep 636 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 1: those two veterans in the mix. And then we thought, Okay, 637 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with the corner position. It was thinking 638 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: they might be without both, and then here we go 639 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,880 Speaker 1: Sleigh and Bradbury. They figure out a way to work 640 00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: it out. They're both back there in the mix. So 641 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: big loss with Hargrave, big loss with Chauncey Gardner Johnson, 642 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,800 Speaker 1: they lose Miles Sanders, but again running backs everywhere too, 643 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,040 Speaker 1: they'll be able to find that. And I love what 644 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,959 Speaker 1: they did in the running back position. You're gonna give 645 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: Rashot penny, You're signed two of your lesser guys to 646 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 1: keep it going, and let's be honest. The wheel, the 647 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: hub of that office is Jalen Hurst. You have to 648 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: be big money for him. He is the one that 649 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: helps the running backs really get loose because the eyes 650 00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 1: are focused on him running the rock. And so now 651 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: you get guys on bargain basement deals. Maybe draft another guy, 652 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 1: but you're able to do it. And how are you 653 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: doing a really good job? I just can't wait to 654 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 1: see what his contract looks like. And Jalen Hurst signs 655 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:13,720 Speaker 1: this deal.

There is nothing like the visual 676 00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:18,160 Speaker 1: of watching the gap through those those lollipops and rainbows. 677 00:31:18,320 --> 00:31:21,120 Speaker 1: It all change everything.

The 679 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:29,320 Speaker 1: don't don't be the person who gets on Twitter and 680 00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,720 Speaker 1: it happens everywhere. Oh they're throwing in shorts. Oh, here 681 00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: we go again, overreaction. Like, First of all, the teams 682 00:31:36,800 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: are there, so it matters. If it didn't matter, the 683 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:41,200 Speaker 1: teams wouldn't be there. Second of all, it is not 684 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 1: more than it is. Okay, it's a it's a small 685 00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 1: piece of the evaluation process. Third of all, we're on 686 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: TV covering it. Would you like us to sound like 687 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: we're bored out of our minds? Is that what you 688 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,640 Speaker 1: would prefer. No, it's a driving range session. And when 689 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 1: you see somebody hit a golf ball long and straight, 690 00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,240 Speaker 1: you get excited. We're gonna get sided, We're gonna have fun. 691 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,760 Speaker 1: It's it's got some value. It's not everything, but just 692 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: spare me the whole. Yeah, oh, I lose my mind. 693 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:09,320 Speaker 1: You can find something better to do with your time 694 00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 1: than to jump on social media complain about pro day. 695 00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: So okay, that's my PSA, that's okay, I appreciate it. 696 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:15,959 Speaker 1: The only thing that I would say to people is 697 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: if you can't throw the ball accurately in shorts and 698 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: a T shirt, you gonna have a hard time throw 699 00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,160 Speaker 1: it in pass when you put bodies on the field, 700 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 1: so everyone knows that this is batting practice. He should 701 00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: be able to knock it around and everything should look great. 702 00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:31,760 Speaker 1: The issue is when they don't look great. In the 703 00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 1: story be told, if we look back at last year, 704 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:42,280 Speaker 1: if I'm remembering correctly, the one who did not have 705 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: a good pro day, all of them, you know, had 706 00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 1: good The one who did not have a good pro 707 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:49,240 Speaker 1: day was Matt Corral And did you see who they'd 708 00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 1: be open to trading? All of a sudden, Matt Corral. Oh, yeah, 709 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 1: because it was disjointed. It didn't seem like it. Yeah, 710 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,440 Speaker 1: it was out of Yeah. I mean, so you have 711 00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 1: to be able to.
