1
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: This is straight fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up?

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: Straight firefam, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight fire for Friday,

3
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 2: April twenty sixth. What a night in the NFL Draft,

4
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: Holy Toledo. It was so big that it basically rendered

5
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: the Calves losing by seventy five to the Magic and

6
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid suffering from Bell's palsy, and then going Steph

7
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 2: Currie against the Knicks and the Lakers losing. It rendered

8
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: all that irrelevant. It was the NFL Draft. They did

9
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 2: a great job keeping mystery around what was happening. And

10
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: then as the draft unfolded, obviously we'll talk about Michael

11
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: Penox right off the bat. Just an insane situation developing

12
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. I can like Michael Penix a lot, and

13
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 2: I just don't love what he's about to go through

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: at all. I mean, it just seems brutal for Penis.

15
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: And then you've got the situation brewing with the forty

16
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,759
Speaker 2: nine ers, who, in one of the bigger shocking developments,

17
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: draft a receiver at thirty one, and now it looks

18
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: like a yuk or Deebo Samuel is going to get

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 2: shipped maybe before the second round begins, so a lot

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: of crazy stuff happening in the league, and I guess

21
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: we got to wait for the schedule to come out

22
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 2: before you can make sweeping assumptions. I'll just say before

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 2: before I dive into penix, I don't know how you

24
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 2: can't love the Chicago Bears going in next season. And

25
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 2: I know you can't win the Super Bowl in free agency,

26
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 2: in the draft, you can't do it. But I'm just

27
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: telling you right now, the Bears have gotten so much better.

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams, Keenan Allen, Dj Moore and now Roma Donade.

29
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: I mean that is instantly that wide receiver room went

30
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: from DJ Moore and a poop poo platter of guys

31
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: to okay, this might be a top seven receiver room

32
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: even though Rome has never played a game. I mean,

33
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen obviously, if he's healthy, he's a superstar. And

34
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: let's say he's ninety percent okay, wonderful, He's awesome as

35
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 2: a number two to DJ Moore, Like that is really

36
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: something for Chicago. Obviously the coaching leads something to be desired,

37
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: but I'm just telling you right now, I can see

38
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: the Bears as a walk card team. I don't think

39
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: that's that hot of a take. The question is what

40
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,239
Speaker 2: happens in the rest of the NFC. And the big

41
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 2: team to watch right now is the Atlanta Falcons because

42
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: they go spend one hundred million on Kirk Cousins, two

43
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: years guaranteed money, and everybody thinks the Falcons are going

44
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: to the playoffs. They're better than the Saints. Forget about

45
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Bucks. Carolina is still figuring things out.

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: Caroline is gonna be better. That's obvious. We're not going

47
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: to dive into it now, but they will be better.

48
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: And then what do we make of Atlanta and Kirk Cousins, Well,

49
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: they're in good shape. We like their tight end, we

50
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: like their receiver. You know, they don't really have a

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 2: defense can they Can they add a defender? Everybody's had

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: them going defensive end drusher In the draft, some people say, oh, well,

53
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: you know, maybe you trade down and get more picks.

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: In the biggest shocker of the first round, the Atlanta

55
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: Falcons selected Michael Pennox, the superstar quarterback from Washington, and

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 2: instantly it's like, WHOA hold the phone, You're telling me

57
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: you just paid Kirk Cousins literally two months ago, one

58
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars and two fully years guaranteed, and now

59
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 2: you're drafting his his secession plan. Oh, we're just gonna

60
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 2: pivot to Pennox in two years. So let me just

61
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: break this down way. I think they did a disservice

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 2: to Pennix. They clearly had to piss off Kirk Cousins.

63
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: And while the idea in theory is not bad, I

64
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: think in reality it's just terrible for all parties involved.

65
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 2: So let's explain to kirk cousins side. Kirk Cousins is

66
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: now a man about town in Atlanta. He's embracing the city.

67
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 2: He's his kids, his family, He's moved into Atlanta. They

68
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: love it. He's doing interviews and now essentially he's been

69
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: told with this draft pick. And they apparently just called

70
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: him when they were on the clock to say, hey,

71
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: we're going with the quarterback ELL's wed it. Like what

72
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: you're telling me? They just sent the message to kirk Cousins, Hey, buddy,

73
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,239
Speaker 2: you're good for two years. After that we're gonna pivot

74
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: to Penix. Like what kind of message is that? And

75
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: here's the worst part. What if you know Cousins is

76
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: coming off an achilles. What if he's not great and

77
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: he goes down in week four and struggles with two

78
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 2: picks and then they have a primetime game and we

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 2: know he has struggled in primetime and he throws two more.

80
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: Are they blewing him at home and call him for penix?

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 2: And is there gonna be pressure to put in the

82
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: rookie even though they have a plan like Kirk Cousins

83
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: is he might struggle new city, new team, new offense

84
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: coming off the achilles, Like there's a real chance he

85
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,359
Speaker 2: goes through a funk. And the fans you know, growing up,

86
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: I'll never forget at this. The most popular guy in

87
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 2: every NFL city is the backup quarterback because the pressures

88
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 2: on the quarterback to deliver, and the second the quarterback

89
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 2: starts to, I don't know, struggle getting a funk, it's like,

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 2: let's see the backup. Come on, let's bring on the backup.

91
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: Let's see what he's got. Jared Stidham remember him one

92
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: game with the UH with the Raiders, and everybody to, oh,

93
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 2: Jared Sidham, that's a guy next year. And then you

94
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 2: know Denver overpays him and now it's like, oh, what

95
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:33,359
Speaker 2: are we doing in Denver with Stidham, and you go

96
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: up and down the league. It's like everybody loves the

97
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 2: backup because there's no pressure on him. He's going into

98
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: maybe save the day and be the hero because the

99
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: starter couldn't get it done, the overpaid starter. But now

100
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,480
Speaker 2: here's the Penix side of the story.

101
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: Bro.

102
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm twenty three years old. I turned twenty four in May.

103
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: My clock is ticking. I gotta sit for two years.

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:59,600
Speaker 2: I'm not like a twenty one year old who had

105
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: one years a starter. I played, hold on, he played

106
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,239
Speaker 2: five years of college football. Guy's got forty five starts,

107
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: and now you're gonna wait for two years. Huh? How

108
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 2: does that work out? Pennix is coming off a tremendous

109
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 2: season in Washington. Thirty six touchdowns were lost in the Natty,

110
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: but he was awesome. He's gonna wait two years? I mean,

111
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy. I don't know. Is he gonna win the

112
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 2: starting job over Sam Darnald. I don't know. Maybe Bo

113
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: Nicks probably the starter in Denver. We know Caleb starting,

114
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 2: we know Jayden Daniels is starting, we know Drake Mays starting.

115
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 2: So Pennix, who's clearly ready, has to wait essentially two years. Again.

116
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: I like Michael Pennix a lot. I thought Miami would

117
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: have been an amazing fit for Penis left hander slides

118
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 2: right in, don't have to pay two makes all the

119
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 2: sense in the world. I thought Seattle, where his offensive

120
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: court inner with that Seahawks, could have made a lot

121
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: of sense. His offensive coordinator from Washington is now with

122
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and he ends up in Atlanta behind Kirk Cousins,

123
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 2: who has two years of guaranteed money come in his way.

124
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: And it's not like it's ten million guaranteed. That's the problem.

125
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: If it was it was small money, maybe maybe they

126
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: just take the cap hit and move on. But I don't.

127
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 2: I can see kirk Cousins not being thrilled, and I

128
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: could see Michael Pennix like being like, Atlanta's a cool city,

129
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 2: but damn, I got to sit for two years. So

130
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: now you have essentially Pennick's rooting against kirk Cousins. Cause right,

131
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: you're the backup. You would love it if the guy

132
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 2: in front of you failed and you got thrown into

133
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 2: the fire. And then a quick word on that. I

134
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 2: did see the video that was circulating last night about

135
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: Arthur Blank kind of being explained to why they went

136
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 2: with Penix, and Blank is like kind of you can't

137
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: hear anything, but you could see him gesturing and the

138
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: GMS like try to explain it, and I was like, Oh,

139
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: they didn't run this past the other. Hey, we just

140
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 2: bet a lot of money out a quarterback and now

141
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 2: we're gonna add one. Like Cousins' agent is already pushing that.

142
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 2: Where are they not trying to win? Now? It's not

143
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 2: like the Falcons have done anything recently since since Matt

144
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 2: Ryan took him to the Super Bowl? Are they not

145
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: trying to win now? Now? You could argue, well, is

146
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 2: an edge rusher gonna make them win? Now? I don't know.

147
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 2: I would have traded down, couldn't. Couldn't you argue that

148
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: Michael Pennox would have been there a little later? Did you?

149
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 2: Was anybody gonna take them? I don't Again, these are

150
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 2: unanswered questions, and I'm sure reporters will come out and say, oh, yeah,

151
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: this is gonna happen. It's just a wacky scenario all around,

152
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: Rob Rob, it felt like everybody got a quarterback except

153
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 2: your Raiders. Five of the first ten picks were quarterbacks.

154
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 2: Six of the first twelve were quarterbacks and the Raiders.

155
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 2: The run ended right before the Raiders drafted Brock Bowers,

156
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 2: the tight end from the Georgia Bulldogs. That's listen, that's

157
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: a that's a good pick. I don't know who's throwing

158
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 2: who's throwing in the ball Gardner Minshew, maybe, but just

159
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 2: a wacky, wild, fun first round in the NFL Draft.

160
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Penix.

161
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: Rob Yeah, I mean, as a Raider fan, once it

162
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 3: became clear we were gonna be able to trade up

163
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 3: to get Jene Daniels, I wanted Michael Penis Junior at thirteen,

164
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 3: and obviously that did not go the way I expected

165
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 3: it to go. And I know I'm gonna take some

166
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,840
Speaker 3: pep for this, but this is legitimately how I feel.

167
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: This is not a ruse.

168
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 3: I'm not putting it on just to make the show

169
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 3: more interesting. But I don't hate this move by the

170
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,719
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons. I know that they've been getting killed all

171
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: last night and into this morning.

172
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 2: How would you do this?

173
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 3: You know you just signed Kirk Cousins to eleven billion

174
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: dollars and now you're going to draft a twenty four

175
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 3: year old or should be twenty four year old quarterback.

176
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 3: He's gonna sit there for six years? What are you doing?

177
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 3: You made a lot of good points in your opening

178
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,839
Speaker 3: monologue there about Kirk Cousin, about the reality of the

179
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins situation. Reality number one, Kirk Cousin's coming off

180
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 3: of torn achilles. Okay, we have no idea how he's

181
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: going to respond moving forward. I'm optimistic. I think he's

182
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 3: going to be a Okay, He's never been the most

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 3: fleet of foot athletic guy to begin with, so I

184
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 3: don't imagine it's going to really hamper him too much.

185
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 3: But you never know. That's number one. Number two, the

186
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: contract he signed, Oh he signed four years, one't eighty

187
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,800
Speaker 3: Oh he had one hundred million dollars guaranteed. It's like, yeah,

188
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: but you know how this works in the NFL. This

189
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 3: is all funny money, Like none of this is actually

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 3: one hundred and eighty million dollars. And honestly, it's not

191
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 3: actually one hundred million dollars because if you look at

192
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 3: his contract and over, the cap actually crashed after this trade.

193
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: True story.

194
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 3: When this trade was made, there were a number of

195
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 3: people in sports media trying to get access to the

196
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: kirk Cousins contract just to see. It's like did we

197
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 3: miss something? Did we miss something? And it's like, no,

198
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 3: you didn't. It's just this website is not meant to

199
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 3: handle that much traction. So according to over the Cap

200
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 3: I had to go to because spot track had crashed

201
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 3: first two years, there's no outs. Right, he's got ninety

202
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: million dollars guaranteed, there's no way around it. Right. But

203
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six, when Kirk Cousins will be age

204
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 3: thirty eight, they could do a post June one designation

205
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 3: cut and the dead Caps only twelve and a half million.

206
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 3: So again, if you are the Atlanta Falcons, this is

207
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 3: point number three, and you have not had even average

208
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: quarterback play since twenty eighteen. With the list that goes

209
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 3: as follows the corpse of Matt Ryan, Marcus Mariota, Desmond Ritter,

210
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: and Taylor Heineke as your starters. I don't hate the

211
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 3: idea of you getting your succession plan in place now,

212
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 3: especially if you believe, which I think they do, that

213
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is gonna be fine. He's gonna be okay.

214
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: We give him all this money for a reason. He's

215
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 3: gonna get us in the playoff chase. We're gonna be

216
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 3: a you know, nine, ten, eleven, twelve win team. Hopefully

217
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 3: we're not gonna get a chance to draft a talent

218
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 3: like Michael Pennick junior. Again, if Kirk Cousins as good

219
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 3: as we think he is. Oh, if you have a

220
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 3: guy right there staring you in the face. And according

221
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 3: to James Palmer, he used to be the NFL network

222
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 3: and got unfortunately let go in the last couple of

223
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,719
Speaker 3: weeks with that massive blood letting they had over there.

224
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 3: There were three other teams who attempted to trade up

225
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 3: for Penix, My Raiders, the Saints, the Seahawks. So Saint yes,

226
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 3: none of those teams as far as I know, pick

227
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 3: below sixteen. So where realistically could you have gone down

228
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 3: in the draft and still get Penix? I don't know, Like,

229
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:36,440
Speaker 3: maybe you trade down with the Jets, but who says

230
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 3: the Jets want to move up. Maybe you trade down

231
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 3: with the Vikings, but who says they wouldn't take Penix themselves.

232
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 3: They seem like they made that lasted ch effort for

233
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy because they, you know, was the quarterback run

234
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 3: was ending basically, so they saw a guy that they like.

235
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: I think we can all agree that Pennix slings it

236
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 3: as good as anybody in this class. Were it not

237
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: for his injury history. I don't think he even is

238
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: in a question that he's a top five pick point

239
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 3: blank period. So if you can get him, be patient,

240
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 3: see what you got in Kirk Cousins. If it's good,

241
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: don't worry about it. We Jordan love him. If it's

242
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: not good, we have him ready to go. You mentioned

243
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,480
Speaker 3: he's mature, he's played a lot of football. He can

244
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 3: come in and play relatively quickly with the weapons you

245
00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 3: already have. There Again, I don't hate this.

246
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 2: Move by Atlanta.

00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,080
Speaker 2: I don't hate it. I just I don't love it,

252
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 2: and I can see it go there. I feel like

253
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 2: there's a better than I bet. I think there's a

254
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: better chance for this to go spectacularly badly than great.

255
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:58,439
Speaker 2: Let what's what's what's the best result after three? Because

256
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 2: like if you they got him on the rookie deal, right,

257
00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: so you don't have to pay him until after year four, right,

258
00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: or you could pick up the fifth year option. So essentially,

259
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: you know how like Joe Burrow had like this long

260
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 2: runway before you got to pay him, and then you

261
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 2: know the value is gone in his contract of the

262
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 2: rookie contract. So they're burning through two years of Pennix.

263
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 2: They'll have essentially two years with him, and remember by

264
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 2: that point they'll have to have paid Drake London and

265
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts. And what's interesting is in the last four

266
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: drafts ROP they've gone Kyle Pitts in the top ten,

267
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: Drake London in the top ten, b Jon Robinson in

268
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: the top ten, and Michael Pennox in the top ten.

269
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: I like, they're going all in our offense, which I get.

270
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 2: The first fourteen players that were drafted tonight were on offense.

271
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 2: And it's one of those situations right now where it's

272
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: like this is an offensive league. It's like in the NBA,

273
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 2: shoot the three, live by the three, die by the three.

274
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 2: That's where we are now. It's a math equation. It's

275
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: like baseball with moneyball. Everybody's doing the same thing right now.

276
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 2: Now it's get the quarterback on the rookie deal, surround

277
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 2: him with as much offense as you can see what

278
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans are doing, and go for the glory.

279
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 2: And you know what, nobody really gets stops Anyway. The

280
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 2: Eagles couldn't get stops against Mahomes in the Super Bowl

281
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 2: forty nine. Ers couldn't get stops against Mahomes. The Chiefs

282
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 2: got a stop of Rock Party held into a field goal,

283
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: and like, that's really all you need. You need offense.

284
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 2: And I guess you could argue what they're doing is right.

285
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 2: I just I worry that, uh, this just isn't gonna go.

286
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you feel. How do you think

287
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 2: Cousins is gonna feel? Rob He's gonna be looking over

288
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: his shoulder all the time, all the time. And maybe, yes,

289
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 2: it was like when the Patriots drafted what's his face

290
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, but he wasn't a first round pack Now,

291
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,760
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers was in Green Bay and they drafted Jordan

292
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,760
Speaker 2: Love first round and Rodgers got pissed and went nuclear

293
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:56,800
Speaker 2: and won two MVP Awards in a row. I think,

294
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 2: so Jordan Love essentially had to sit for three three years.

295
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Then they ran off Rogers. Love just had his first

296
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 2: year and now they got to pay him. So maybe

297
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: that scenario unfolds, right, maybe it's a Jordan Ue nowt

298
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: But Pennix went eighth, Love was like twenty third or something.

299
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: I don't know, Rub, I mean, it is the Atlanta Falcons,

300
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 2: so it'll be a circuit.

301
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 3: Well, I'll mean, look, just the fact remains is, and

302
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: you mentioned because everyone's bringing up the quarterback contract, you

303
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 3: want to get guy on the rookie scale because that

304
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 3: is easily or that is definitely the easiest way to

305
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 3: build a contending roster. You get the young quarterback, you're

306
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: not paying him anything. You can build out the rest

307
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 3: of your roster real heavy. Allah the uh Sebsagar forty

308
00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 3: nine ers, the Philadelphia Eagles, up until recently, the Buffalo Bills.

309
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 3: Like that's been Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. That's been the

310
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 3: way to do it. The problem, though, is what happens

311
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 3: if you miss on that quarterback. What happens if that

312
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 3: quarterback just doesn't any good? Much is being made of

313
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: this particular class having six guys drafted in the first round,

314
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: actually six in the top twelve, But twenty twenty one

315
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 3: is not that far long ago. Okay, Trade Lance was

316
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 3: picked number three. He was traded for a fourth round pick.

317
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 3: Matt Jones was taken traded to the page for traded

318
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 3: from the Patriots to the Jags for a sixth rounder.

319
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: Justin Fields traded for a conditional sixth rounder Zach Wilson,

320
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 3: which is the most embarrassing thing possible, traded for a

321
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 3: pick swap with the Broncos. Like, the only guy who's

322
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,479
Speaker 3: even decent from that class is Trevor Lawrence, and he

323
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: has sixty turnovers in his first three seasons. So there's

324
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,719
Speaker 3: no guarantee that any of these quarterbacks are gonna are

325
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 3: gonna work out. But if you are Atlanta and you

326
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 3: feel confident in this guy and you have him almost

327
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 3: as an insurance policy, there's less pressure on him. You

328
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,600
Speaker 3: can develop him in a more structured way and you're

329
00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 3: not throwing him out to the wolves and crushing his

330
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 3: confidence before he even builds any up.

331
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's I don't do you remember when Washington

332
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: drafted RG three and then in the same draft took

333
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins, Yes, and people were like, oh, I don't

334
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 2: like that. And at the time I was like, that's

335
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: not awful, And now I feel like this move. If

336
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: if you just had to say, Jason, would you do this,

337
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 2: and like I would have to you know, I don't have,

338
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: we don't have. Nobody does has the access that the

339
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: teams do to these players. Like maybe you know the

340
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 2: addresser from Alabama or the addresser from UCLA or Murphy.

341
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 2: Maybe none of those guys really checked any boxes. But

342
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: here's my thing. If that's the case, trade back and

343
00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 2: give give it up. Prepare you want to come up

344
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: and get pennies, give me multiple picks, because that's the

345
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: best way to build out your roster is having more

346
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 2: bites at the apple. I mean, Rob, if let's do

347
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 2: let's we'll have about this. We'll have a draft and

348
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:55,240
Speaker 2: you can have seven picks and I'll get twelve. Like,

349
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: who do you think is gonna come out better I'm

350
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 2: gonna have? I mean, really, the numb It's a numbers game.

351
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: It's similar to hitting on women a bar. So you

352
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 2: go out and try to meet ten girls, You're gonna

353
00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 2: get a few numbers. You just go up to one girl,

354
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: two girls, Like the odds are not as great. I

355
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 2: don't know. Ultimately, I probably would not have done this.

356
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: I understand why they did. I like Pennix. I don't.

357
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: My gut tells me it's not gonna work out. Let

358
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,000
Speaker 2: me pivot to the Niners real quick. I love these

359
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 2: this Niners team. I think the weapons are great. And

360
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 2: there have been reports that Brandon and a Yuk's unhappy.

361
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,640
Speaker 2: We've talked about it on this podcast. And now comes

362
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: a report that Ayuk was in trade talks, maybe to Carolina,

363
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 2: which was sitting at thirty three, and the Niners would

364
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: then have shipped Ayuk to Carolina, were given another weapon

365
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,520
Speaker 2: to Bryce Young and Sam Fraan would have had their

366
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 2: pick of the litter to start second round. Second round pick.

367
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: The second round first pick is highly, hugely valuable, but

368
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:05,680
Speaker 2: Buffalo sided. It was Buffalo and Kansas City and Carolina said,

369
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: we're just gonna go up and get leget the wide

370
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: receiver from South Carolina. He's kind of a sleeper. I

371
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: kind of like him. I had him in the first

372
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 2: round of one or two of my mox I don't

373
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 2: remember if it was the last one or not. But

374
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 2: so Carolina grabs him at thirty two. Buffalo now has

375
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: the thirty third pick. Kansas City went up to twenty

376
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: eight to get Worthy to get from Texas. I guess

377
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 2: they thought like Jerry Jones was going to make a

378
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,440
Speaker 2: run at Worthy or maybe Baltimore looks like Odell Beckham's

379
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,320
Speaker 2: done there, but Buffalo's now at thirty three. So this

380
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: speculation is with the Niners not wanting to pay Ayuk,

381
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: maybe wanting to move off Deebo one of those two.

382
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: It feels like it's going to get shipped. The Niners

383
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: draft Ricky Pursall, this kid out of Florida, who's good.

384
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't know. They must see something

385
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I didn't know he was that good.

386
00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 2: Played at Arizona State, played at Florida, kind of an

387
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 2: athletic freak, four to four guy and with the speed.

388
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,679
Speaker 2: But by drafting him, they just gave a tell that

389
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 2: come get Ayuk to everyone. Now Buffalo, remember just moved

390
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: off Digs. Does Buffalo say, okay, we'll take Deebo or Ayuk?

391
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,920
Speaker 2: And now, if you're Buffalo and your wide receiver room

392
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 2: is arguably the worst in the league, I mean, you

393
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 2: give me Deebo Samuel with Josh Allen, Oh my gosh,

394
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:27,160
Speaker 2: that is filthy. I like Ayuk a lot. I don't

395
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: like all the chirping, and I wonder if Buffalo wants

396
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 2: to go from Digs to Ayuk. But I don't know,

397
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,600
Speaker 2: rob this this feels to me like I said on

398
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: A Herd Thursday that I think the Bengals window is shrinking.

399
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 2: As Trey Hendrickson says he wants out. I want a

400
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: new contract basically, and T Higgins is like, get me

401
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: a new contract too, or trade me. And now T

402
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 2: Higgins comes in the mix with the Buffalo Bills because

403
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, well would you take I would

404
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 2: Buffalo take T Higgins? Now, I don't know that Cincinnati

405
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 2: would do that in the conference, but San fran is

406
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 2: an NFC that makes more sense to me. But T Higgins,

407
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 2: Debo Auke, I don't know, Robert. I would probably lean

408
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 2: Debo although he's got the biggest injury history of the three,

409
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,679
Speaker 2: just because he does so many things. But are Uk Higgins.

410
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,199
Speaker 2: You can't go wrong with any of those, and Buffalo

411
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 2: is in a good spot. I do think your Super

412
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: Bowl window is closed, and I think Cincinnati is very

413
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 2: close as well. But I don't know. I smart moved

414
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 2: by Buffalo here to position themselves to kind of have

415
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 2: their pick at thirty three.

416
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you. And they were getting roasted

417
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: on Twitter during the draft because they traded with the

418
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 3: Chiefs and the Chiefs got the fastest wide receiver in

419
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: the draft, Like how are you gonna give Andy Reid

420
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: another weapon like that? And it's like, bro, you can't

421
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 3: operate that way. You can't make trades or not make

422
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 3: trades based on who you're trading with, Like he's a

423
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: straight line. But you gotta do what you think is

424
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 3: best for your team. Point like, it doesn't matter what

425
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: who you're trading with or whatever, do what you think

426
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 3: is best for Buffalo Bills. And according to Mike Silver,

427
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 3: who worked in the Bay Area forever and I believe

428
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 3: he's now with the Chronicle up there, said late late

429
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: late on Thursday night, based on my conversation with other teams,

430
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,120
Speaker 3: the Niners are now more likely to deal Debo than Ayuk.

431
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 3: Stay tuned for that's come on and here's at first,

432
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 3: I was kind of taken it back by that because

433
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: I've always thought that Debo, along with Turn Williams, like

434
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 3: the heart and soul of that team, Like they were

435
00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 3: the tone setters. Those are the guys who kind of

436
00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 3: gave them their edge. That they need to play the

437
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,920
Speaker 3: way that they do. Yeah, and that's so I was

438
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: kind of surprised at that. And then I started talking

439
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 3: to a few guys who covered the team or around

440
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: the team in the Bay Area, and surprisingly the majority

441
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 3: of them said, if you had to choose one, Diebo

442
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: or Ayuk, they'd rather keep Ayuk. And the rationale is

443
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 3: the contract he just signed. He's got a three year

444
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 3: extension that he started before last season. He's got two

445
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,160
Speaker 3: years just under fifty three million left on that one.

446
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: His age, he's twenty eight, and you alluded to his

447
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,320
Speaker 3: injury history, you know, because of his style of play

448
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 3: and the way that he moves around and the way

449
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:04,439
Speaker 3: that they kind of gadget him and take him out

450
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 3: of the backfield and do a lot of things with him,

451
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 3: and is aggressive after the catch style, he lends himself

452
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: open to more injury. And then here's the other thing

453
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 3: that they pointed out, which I didn't even think of,

454
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 3: is that they already have a guy who can do

455
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 3: all the gadget stuff and it is it better And

456
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:19,680
Speaker 3: they think it's Christian McCaffrey.

457
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: Well, Christian McCaffrey's ajury.

458
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, but McCaffrey can do everything that Dboke Samuel can

459
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 3: do at a higher level. So if it's really a

460
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,679
Speaker 3: numbers crunch and you're worried about the looming Brock Party

461
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 3: contract or you're looming about you know, keeping that defense together,

462
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 3: then I understand wanting to move off of one of

463
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 3: those guys. And if you're Buffalo, you absolutely need a

464
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:45,720
Speaker 3: wide receiver. So getting themselves at the top of the

465
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 3: second round, which for whatever reason is like one of

466
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 3: the most valuable picks in the NFL draft, because these guys,

467
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 3: you know, go all in for Thursday night in round one,

468
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 3: then they kind of get this reprieve and like, oh man,

469
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 3: we got fourteen hours to prepare for un too, and

470
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 3: suddenly whoever's picking at thirty three has like the keys

471
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 3: of the kingdom. So Buffalo is in a position where

472
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 3: they can, you know, pick which guy that they want.

473
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 3: And I think that I would not be surprised if

474
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 3: by this time tomorrow Deebo Samuel is the new wide

475
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 3: receiver one in Buffalo.

476
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 2: Hmm, that's scary. I just hate that the Jets now

477
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 2: watches the Patriots get Drake may right. I think he's

478
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,439
Speaker 2: gonna be very good. You guys can doubt, And I

479
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,120
Speaker 2: saw the whole clip on Belichick blasting and blow. I'm

480
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:37,719
Speaker 2: just who Bill Belichick rip Drake May Like? Okay, am

481
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: I supposed to Rob. What was your reaction to the

482
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: like Belichick taking him apart? Like that's what Belichick's supposed

483
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: to do, right.

484
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:49,479
Speaker 3: Well, He's had a terrible track record of drafting players recently,

485
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 3: so I don't know if.

486
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: Bill could add to it. It's like, didn't he draft

487
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: Mac Jones?

488
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 3: He did draft Mac Jones.

489
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I don't know. I can't get worked up

490
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: about that. So of course Jets they're kind of irrelevant here.

491
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 2: But I did like the trade back, pick up an

492
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 2: extra cup, two picks and lost one but one offensive line. Ultimately,

493
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 2: I think the big story besides Niners and Falcons and Pennix,

494
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: is just I think there's got to be a reason

495
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 2: teams are gambling on quarterbacks the way they are and

496
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 2: did in the COVID year. And the only thing I

497
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: could come up with when I asked people about this

498
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 2: last night was well, five having a quarterback on the

499
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 2: books for five years to find out as good. But

500
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: most of these teams are determining after like two or

501
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:43,080
Speaker 2: three were done. With this guy. So but why Nott,

502
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,359
Speaker 2: Why are we seeing so many quarterbacks going in the

503
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 2: first round the way? I mean, if you look back

504
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 2: at twenty fourteen to fifteen, some of those years, there

505
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: were like two, three, maybe four. We're talking six in

506
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:58,680
Speaker 2: the top twelve. That's never happened before. And like, there's

507
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 2: still gonna be a bunch of teams that need quarterbacks.

508
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: Like I'll tell you right now, the New York Giants

509
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 2: after the season, probably gonna need a quarterback. Tennessee Titans,

510
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 2: unless Will Levis is a hit, they're gonna need a quarterback.

511
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:11,680
Speaker 2: You keep going on the list. Aaron Rodgers says he's retiring.

512
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 2: Jets are gonna need a quarterback, So that's three right there.

513
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 2: Raiders they still need one, right Seattle probably gonna need

514
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: a quarterback unless Gino Smith is better than he was

515
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 2: two years ago. Rams. Let's see what's up with Matt Stafford,

516
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 2: you know, getting up there in age. He's had some injuries.

517
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh probably gonna be a new coach. And I don't know,

518
00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 2: the Russ is long. So you're still we're still gonna

519
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,680
Speaker 2: have like four or five six teams at the top

520
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 2: looking at quarterbacks. And you know, before we get to

521
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: the NBA, I'll just say this, Rob, did you see

522
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 2: Amar Ross Saint Brown is now the highest paid receiver

523
00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: in the league. Yes, he's probably not a top five

524
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: receiver according to anybody.

525
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, but he's very good. I like him a lot.

526
00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:54,200
Speaker 2: He's very good. Okay, okay, fine, top highest paid receiver.

527
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 2: And then Penney School very good lineman now a highest

528
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:58,760
Speaker 2: paid lineman in the league. Well, you know who's up

529
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 2: for a contract too, right, Jared Goff. And it's like, eh,

530
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 2: we don't know what we're gonna pay him, Like, what

531
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,239
Speaker 2: are you doing with Goff? How long you're gonna wait

532
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 2: on this? Because I don't know, Rob. Do you think

533
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: that they're they're building out the team the way the

534
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 2: Niners are, and they're gonna say, you know, GoF is good,

535
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 2: but can we get I don't know, seventy percent of

536
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 2: golf with a rookie. I mean, the Niners with Purdy

537
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: got over one hundred percent of Garoppolo. You're telling me

538
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: that the Lions can't find somebody, and you start to

539
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: worry about some of these quarterbacks like Jared Goff. Jared

540
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: Goff would have a market I mean if obviously he

541
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 2: doesn't want to go outdoors to a team like the Jets,

542
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 2: he's an indoor quarterback. But I just I would keep

543
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 2: an eye on the Lions and this goth situation. They

544
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: went to the NFC Championship lest they were within like

545
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 2: four minutes of the Super Bowl, and I don't think

546
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 2: it was his fault that they didn't get there and

547
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 2: they're not paying him that Maybe I'm overreacting, But what's

548
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 2: also weird is Tua hasn't gotten his money, Dak hasn't

549
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 2: gotten his money. Love hasn't. It's like, who are they

550
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 2: waiting to blink? Did Trevor Lawrence get his.

551
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,960
Speaker 3: No, he has not.

552
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 2: Huh.

553
00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 3: But you know, I think that you're honest with me,

554
00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:14,960
Speaker 3: and I think it's a bigger picture conversation that you

555
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: and friend of the Show Albert Breer had a few

556
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 3: weeks ago when he was on the podcast, is we

557
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:23,760
Speaker 3: are now getting to a point. It feels like, as

558
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: it relates to the quarterback position, where it's no longer Hey,

559
00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: it's your turn, you're the next highest paid guy. Justin

560
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 3: Herbert's turn, He's next. Then Burrows turned his turn the

561
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and then Dak Prescott and so on and

562
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: so on and so on. There was a time recall that

563
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 3: my guy, Derek Carr was the highest paid quarterback in football.

564
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: There was a time when Jimmy Garoppolo was the highest

565
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 3: pay Like, it didn't matter exactly how good you were,

566
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 3: It's just if it was your turn to get paid,

567
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 3: you were going to reset the market. And the NFL

568
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,840
Speaker 3: has gotten to a point where they're getting smarter that

569
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,720
Speaker 3: they understand that you want to pay the player, not

570
00:29:54,840 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 3: the position. Jared Goff is very good, but I'm not

571
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 3: going to pay him sixty million dollars a year, you know, guaranteed.

572
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 3: And so I think you're seeing that play out now

573
00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 3: in the draft, especially in this this most recent one,

574
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: this last first round, Because if it's only gonna cost

575
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 3: me five million dollars against the cap, take a shot

576
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 3: at a quarterback, why wouldn't I? And if it doesn't

577
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 3: work out too, you do it again. It doesn't work

578
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:20,520
Speaker 3: out to you to do it again? Yeah, you know

579
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like it's it's it behooves you, because that,

580
00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 3: again is the cleanest, most direct way to build a

581
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 3: Super Bowl contender is the quarterback on the rookie deal.

582
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 3: So now that we don't have those Sam Bradford, you know,

583
00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 3: first round pick and you automatically the highest paid player

584
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: in football, and now there's this rookie scale, it would

585
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 3: make sense why the quarterback position is even more valuable

586
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: than it was before, because you know, you just got

587
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 3: to find the right guy at the right value to

588
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 3: really take your team over the top.

589
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be brief here on the NBA just because

590
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 2: it's all about the draft and second round, third round,

591
00:30:56,600 --> 00:30:58,200
Speaker 2: and next two days. It's gonna be fun as well.

592
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: I don't know what to say the Lakers. I had

593
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 2: a buddy season ticket holder who went to the game

594
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: with his fam and he's like, this is the loudest

595
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 2: I've ever heard it. And another buddy of mine was like,

596
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 2: I haven't seen the crowd. There's juice stuff, like they

597
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 2: were into it. Lakers jump out to a fourteen to

598
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 2: five lead, Lakers are Lakers cover first quarter, Lakers cover

599
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 2: first half. I didn't bet either of them. I stayed

600
00:31:16,160 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 2: away from this game, and then my men's league game started.

601
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: We rolled, but we didn't play great and opponent wasn't great.

602
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 2: We didn't have all our guys, so at halftime I

603
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 2: go over and I look and I'm like, I'm squinting.

604
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh my gosh, the freaking Lakers are down ten.

605
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: It was like end of the third quarter, and I

606
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 2: was like again, and so I went back and watched

607
00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 2: and it was like it's Groundhog Day. Essentially, Lakers come

608
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: out strong, Lakers take the lead, Denver does a couple

609
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,360
Speaker 2: tweaks at halftime, and next thing you know, Denver's winning

610
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 2: in the third quarter. And that's a wrap. That's now

611
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,800
Speaker 2: twice in this series. It took um until the fourth

612
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: quarter in game two or three times. And the Lakers

613
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,000
Speaker 2: have lost eleven straight to Denver. And you know, Lebron

614
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 2: is beating himself up, and Anthony Savis has pissed, and

615
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 2: Darvin Ham's on the hot seat. They're chanting fire. Darvin

616
00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: Ham and D'Angelo Russell played twenty four minutes and shot

617
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,960
Speaker 2: oh of seven oh of six from three, and Lakers

618
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: could not throw it in the ocean five of twenty

619
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 2: seven from deep. And Denver was terrible too. Listen, here's

620
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 2: the weird thing. Denver has not played great two games

621
00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 2: in a row, and they still won both games. Joki

622
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:23,400
Speaker 2: twenty four fifteen and ten. I'm ready for that. I'm sorry.

623
00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 2: Twenty four, fifteen and nine, I'm ready for that Tim

624
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: Duncan Yokic conversation any day, maybe one day next week,

625
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: since Curry's out and Durant might be on his way

626
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 2: out and Lebron's gonna be out pretty soon. The supporting cast, Like,

627
00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Michael Porter's having a great series. Eron Gordon

628
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: twenty nine and fifteen. How many times, by the way,

629
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 2: did Lebron get caught napping as Aaron Gordon streaks by

630
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 2: him for a Dunker layup? Like I felt like that

631
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 2: was a few too many Anthony Davis heroic stuff. But

632
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: ruy Hachi Mora just irrelevant, d'angela Russell brutal. I don't know, Rob,

633
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 2: it's over.

634
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's definitely over. And I try to tell you

635
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 3: after Game two that it was over. You didn't want

636
00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 3: to believe, you know, I was trying to be surprisingly

637
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 3: I'm the voice of reason here when it comes to

638
00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 3: the Lakers. That almost never happens. Look, man, it's they

639
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,080
Speaker 3: let go of the rope in the middle of the

640
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,000
Speaker 3: third quarter, Like you know that that old saying is

641
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 3: like we're gonna play tuggle war We're gonna keep playing

642
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 3: and keep pulling and keep pulling, and it's never. When

643
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:25,880
Speaker 3: it's never, one team is just stronger than the other.

644
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: It's just gonna be the first one that's gonna break.

645
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:31,640
Speaker 3: And the Lakers have officially broken. They broke probably middle

646
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,560
Speaker 3: of the second quarter there in Game three. And it's

647
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 3: disappointing because I do believe that if this was any

648
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 3: other team that they were facing, the Lakers would probably

649
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: be up to one or three to zero in their series.

650
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 3: But because they're facing the Denver Nuggets, who just absolutely

651
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: own us, and we have no good matchup for them.

652
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: All the advantages we would have against every other team

653
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 3: in the Western Conference are actually disadvantages against Denver because

654
00:34:01,000 --> 00:34:03,760
Speaker 3: we're not bigger than them, we can't bully them. And

655
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 3: you know, it is what it is. So it's gonna

656
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:10,359
Speaker 3: be an interesting offseason. We'll do that moratorium probably next

657
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 3: week when they're officially dead and buried. But shout out

658
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 3: to your guy, the Japanese Jordan rihach Mora. You know,

659
00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:18,719
Speaker 3: DeAngelo Russell is getting slandered all night because he had

660
00:34:18,719 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 3: an offer and he was sitting aside from the huddle

661
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:24,760
Speaker 3: they had there in the fourth quarter that had a fire.

662
00:34:24,880 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 3: Darvin Ham can't go in there at Crypto. You know,

663
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 3: I don't like cam Sandwich. But the Japanese Jordan very

664
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 3: quietly averaging a robust five points three rebounds on thirty

665
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: three thirty three fifty splits while playing terrible defense, and

666
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 3: nobody is talking about it. So shout out to Ruya Chimura.

667
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:47,360
Speaker 2: That's a rough one. Thibodeau and the Knicks get blitzed

668
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,759
Speaker 2: in the second half, and yet Jalen Brunson ends up

669
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 2: playing a forty five minutes. Shout out to me, Nicks

670
00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 2: are gonna blow the Stamps. Thirty nine and thirteen for Brunson,

671
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: dreat He's finally got his shot together. He was shooting

672
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: like twenty nine percent coming in. The Knicks didn't play poorly,

673
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 2: It's just that Joel Embiid went off. He had fifty

674
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 2: and he had five threes nineteen of twenty one from

675
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 2: the line. Tobias Harris still can't make anything. He was

676
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:16,319
Speaker 2: like me and the Men's League, I had a rough night.

677
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,239
Speaker 2: I mean, I was like, it's funny because you know

678
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:23,279
Speaker 2: we're winning handily against some team. And I said to

679
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:25,560
Speaker 2: the commission, was when am I like one for five

680
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 2: from three, he's like one of six. I was like, damn,

681
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be jacket second half, but like Tobias Harris

682
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:35,000
Speaker 2: didn't even get that chance. Really, we only had six guys,

683
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 2: So I'm out there just I mean, as I get

684
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:40,760
Speaker 2: the ball that's going up. But like I mean, listen

685
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid with the bells palsy and the knee forty

686
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 2: one minutes, fifty points. You know, I wish Tims had

687
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 2: taken his foot off the gas and rested his guys

688
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: in the fourth, but it's just not how he operates. Anyways.

689
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 2: I don't have any bets on Friday's games. Maybe i'll

690
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 2: I'll post some on IG I haven't even looked at

691
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 2: the schedule because of the draft, but I fully expect

692
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:05,279
Speaker 2: Dallas to win. I think Phoenix. I think you look

693
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 2: at Phoenix first quarter, first half, and I think you

694
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 2: look at Pacers. Although I let's see if Giannis's returns,

695
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,760
Speaker 2: but I think Pacers are the side, so I would

696
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:14,600
Speaker 2: go with the three home teams. We'll see what happens.

697
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,919
Speaker 2: It's a lengthy Friday Pod heading into the weekend, coming

698
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 2: out of the weekend with a lot of draft stuff.

699
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:23,080
Speaker 2: I can't wait, and I guess we'll then do the

700
00:36:23,080 --> 00:36:24,719
Speaker 2: funeral for the Lakers. Talk to you then
