I don't think no, you know, 0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:23.640 I think Texas is playing somebody. I think it is 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:28.800 Oklahoma State. Yeah, I think that's true. I think that's true. Yeah. There. 0:02:28.960 --> 0:02:32.000 So Michigan thump what's it called in for? Due beat 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.079 Ohio State last week? So who are playing Ohio State? 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.120 And to get beat to death. Oh yeah, if it 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.480 ain't a bye week, come back with a vengeance.

No, 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:51.680 no doubt that he's recovering from Paul's I actually still am, 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:53.560 but I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm just 0:02:53.600 --> 0:02:56.560 a NonStop party for you. Not really. You make me 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.200 sound so much more exciting than I really am. I 0:03:00.200 --> 0:03:02.519 thought about a friend of mine has seasoned tickets to 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.720 the Chiefs game. Her family has a suite, and she 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:07.760 wanted me to come up and hang out. But I, 0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:10.320 why is it always she? Because I have a lot 0:03:10.360 --> 0:03:13.960 of friends that are female. I just just asked the question. Run. 0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:17.400 Because I'm such a great person, people like hanging out 0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:19.320 with me and putting me in the friends one immediate. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.760 So I have a lot of female friends. So I 0:03:23.880 --> 0:03:26.839 thought about doing that because they're playing the Broncos, which 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:29.800 she huh? Which she? You know? You see, you have 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:34.280 a friend that she you didn't give us an actually, 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.480 Caitlin Nichols that used to work here. She used to 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.880 be Kelly's assistant for the cheerleaders. That's how we became 0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.760 friends and we were wound up being roommates for like 0:03:42.840 --> 0:03:45.000 two years, I think. So. She's one of my best 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:48.320 friends and they had a couple of extra tickets and 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:51.200 she invited me up there playing the Broncos, and I 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:53.600 really would love to go do that tailgate scene up 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.480 there here it's amazing, Casey and then for the Broncos. 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:09.440 Different reasons, Casey awesome, Uh Wisconsin, green Bay awesome. They're 0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:13.400 kind of different, but they they do it big brother, 0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.480 and they do it right and there they are so 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.840 friendly with it. Yes, sir, I kind of want to 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.479 do it, but at the same time, it's like my 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.320 one weekend off away from football. Do I really want 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.279 to go to a stadium and then have to watch 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.320 football and then take you ain't got just do the 0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:35.280 tailgating dun leave. Yeah, man, I'm telling numbers. Two impressive 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:39.039 places and in the in the in the noise at 0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:41.560 Green Bay. Can't get with them on the noise, but 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:46.400 the noise that that they rival any college. Arrowhead, yes, 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:50.200 Arrowhead would rival any college. Brother, It's it's open door 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:56.800 and they're think they're Seattle and New Orleans are probably 0:04:56.839 --> 0:05:00.400 the loudest stadiums i've ever been in because I went 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.679 to we played Casey six or seven years ago. There's 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.240 six or seven because I think we're due to play 0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.919 them next year or the year after years. Loud. The 0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:13.359 old Home was pretty loud too. Yeah, so that was loud. 0:05:14.000 --> 0:05:17.440 So what I loved about it is when the Jets 0:05:17.480 --> 0:05:20.480 fly over our head, you know, and to be saying 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:22.039 the things at home or the Braids, they say at 0:05:22.040 --> 0:05:25.000 home or the Chiefs. When that Chiefs come out man 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.960 on the horse, No, he said, they say home of 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:34.719 the Braids, they say cheese and boy your hearts. See 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:37.479 you're talking me into going now, Yeah, I'm done. After that, 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:39.360 After the Jets fly over, they say at Home of 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.400 the Chiefs, gold and go home. We saw the best 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:46.280 of what y'all got off. I watch the rest of 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:48.360 the home. That team would be fun to watch the 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.719 person I don't know. I don't know. I'm gonna decide. 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.680 I got if you can get a sweet, let me 0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:56.880 tell you something what and I I'm putting the broadest 0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.040 I keep cutting y'all off. I'm sorry, that's we used 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.480 to it. This should be hanging with Nate Newton. No, No, 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:08.320 I should be hanging with never matter. Brother, I wish 0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:13.680 you had a sideline pass. If you want to see 0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:19.200 sheer speed, watch this game this week. Those guys, man, 0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:23.400 you will see nothing like it. You will see nothing 0:06:23.640 --> 0:06:26.800 like it, I'm telling you, man, when you see a 0:06:26.839 --> 0:06:31.400 team of that nature that is so much quicker along 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:37.960 with just raw speed than the other team. Cowboys, And 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.760 I'm not being funny. Cowboys cannot add up to what 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:45.159 these cats do. I'm talking about. But in the first 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.880 ten yards, natal take them. Yeah, But the twenty thirty 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.560 years ago out of rival, I don't think I could 0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:56.159 take these guys, I'm telling you. Did you see a 0:06:56.200 --> 0:06:59.760 couple of weeks ago where Terrey Hill did a crossing 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:03.360 out across the field and he and the kid let 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:06.760 it go and just all of a sudden, man, it's 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:12.080 like they tied it up against the Patriots. Yeah, he 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:15.800 took off and I'm talking about the safety had It 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.160 wasn't like the safety was standing still, Bro, he was 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:21.880 already running. Yeah. You know how guys be running and 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.960 they try to time me where they can wind out 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:28.280 and catch it. He had already wind out, wind out. 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:31.000 I might have time last year. That might actually be 0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.280 what I do this weekend. And then and then they, 0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:36.080 and then they and then the running back when me 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:40.880 caught the certified yarder. You don't see that, man, you 0:07:40.920 --> 0:07:44.320 don't see that way. And they even they tightened in fans. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.560 Even it's once in a lifetime and the last time 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.080 I've seen that type of speed. And I don't know 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.440 if these guys were faster. Was the greatest show on 0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.040 turf for the Rams back in the day. I don't 0:07:57.080 --> 0:08:03.440 know if them guys were faster, but well, I don't know, 0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.040 I don't I don't see, I don't know. Uh Cup 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:11.680 is his name? Bang up? He's banged up? But is 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:16.160 it the play design? Because is it what McVeigh does 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.080 for his designing plays? That that I heard? A guy said, 0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:24.080 it's so perfect, he said. The bunch receivers has always 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:29.400 been around, the multiple receivers, whether they bunch, whether they staggered, 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.720 they have always been around. But what McVeigh is doing, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:35.760 and what coach uh, the coach for the Kansas City 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.360 Chiefs is doing, is he explode them into open spaces, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.600 you know, and and it's kind of it ain't hard 0:08:42.640 --> 0:08:46.600 to grasp. It's like open space and all of a sudden, 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:56.720 he there, you know what I'm saying it's wow, man, Shannon, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.280 I will go see that game, and I would try 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.280 to get down on the all right, I'm gonna look 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:05.200 at I'm gonna look at flights, see last minute. All right, 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:09.800 I'm gonna look Vincent and Virginia. What's up? Go out? 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:11.680 I don't hang over the boys. How y'all doing this 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:16.400 even good? I'm doing good? Um. I want to say, 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:20.320 I like the I like to move with um. What 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:22.960 mister Cooper. The only thing that had me a look 0:09:23.000 --> 0:09:26.360 concerned was to drop um. But I think he might 0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:29.200 get picked that up. But I want y'all to talk 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:33.200 about if mister Jones really wanted to do something this year, 0:09:33.400 --> 0:09:35.560 do you think he should go get mister Peterson from 0:09:35.640 --> 0:09:37.920 the cartinal and see what we can do with that. 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:41.240 Hang up and listen. That's a great question, man. And 0:09:41.320 --> 0:09:43.440 I whenever I saw that the other day that he 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:47.160 wanted to be dealt, I kind of I kind of, uh, 0:09:47.880 --> 0:09:51.160 thanks for the call, Vincent. I kind of thought, hey, hey, 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:54.880 but then I think you're good on defense. Now I 0:09:54.920 --> 0:09:56.720 think didn't he come back again and say you didn't 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.040 want to be dealt or something? Oh? Man? He had 0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:03.640 a big, long letter vision of kind of apologizing. Yeah, yeah, 0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:05.079 that he don't you know that he want to be 0:10:05.120 --> 0:10:07.520 a cargnal for life. I'm gonna tell you something, man, 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.400 that winning is so hard in the NFL. You know, 0:10:15.720 --> 0:10:21.040 because there's certain ways that you know, it's certain ways 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:24.320 that you win. It's certain ways you know that teams win. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:26.560 You know, can City is different from New England. New 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:30.320 England's different than than New Orleans. But if you ain't 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:32.840 one of them teams winning, man, it can grind on 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:38.080 the player, specially a player that's a superstar player and 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:42.920 he he he can't go to another level when you 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.880 are a superstar player. You you know, like me, I 0:10:46.960 --> 0:10:49.520 was a grunt. I was a grunt. So making a 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.960 Cowboys going to a Pro Bowl, being all Pro Oh man, 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:58.800 you know from free agent to this, well you first 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:02.079 round pick, top of the line pick. You know, I've 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.240 been named the best at your position in several places. 0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.480 You want to go bigger places, and those bigger places, 0:11:08.559 --> 0:11:10.439 even though I think he's probably did he play the 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:13.320 Super Bowl or get close to one? He want to 0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:16.520 be there every year, yeah, every year. And then when 0:11:16.640 --> 0:11:20.000 when he see the team rebuilding, you can say what 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:24.280 you want but your record and the personnel around you 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.120 tell you where you at and what your situation is. Yeah, 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:29.200 but I agree with you. I don't think they should. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.360 I mean, they've got a good young secondary right now. 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:33.200 Why I give up the assets too? You know you're 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.120 not gonna give up. Yeah, I think if you can't 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:39.240 give up enough, man, Yeah, we don't have enough. And 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.079 I think you know, at the beginning of the year, 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:43.160 you were hearing all the Earl Thomas talk and then 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:47.640 when this was on the on the table, what rumors 0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.000 two or three weeks ago, probably two weeks ago when 0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.319 the rumors started, I kind of thought, like, you know, yeah, 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.200 he makes you better, but does he probably makes you better, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.640 but does he make you that much better? Is he 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.520 the missing piece? And now, especially after they went out 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.240 and made this move on offense, I think I think 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.680 they're good on defense. If they do any more movement, 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.440 I would think that they would do it on the 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.839 offensive side of the ball. So what do you think 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.560 you think they're good defensive? Yeah? Yeah, they've got some 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:16.400 good young corner. I mean Byron Jones is playing better 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.800 just as good, if not better than he is. And 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:20.840 you gotta get this young guys who's you. You wanted 0:12:20.880 --> 0:12:23.920 him to keep developing, Let him play, just in the 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.240 words of Nate, let him play. Are you good defensively Nate? 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.439 With this team? Nah? Man uh, I believe this right 0:12:32.480 --> 0:12:35.440 head as good as those guys are playing. Yeah, you 0:12:35.520 --> 0:12:42.319 know that's once in a lifetime stood true. True. This 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:47.920 is my issue. I am so tired of losing. When 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:50.800 when coach Garrett took this team over. This is what 0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:54.000 I told everybody that would listen. I see now we're 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:58.440 gonna build a team that if week I'll tell you, 0:12:58.640 --> 0:13:00.599 if we could go to a three years in a 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:05.680 row winning ten games, that would be that would be 0:13:05.720 --> 0:13:09.400 the greatest thing in the world. Because if that is 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:12.559 when you can add a piece, take away a piece, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.920 or splurge and don't look back. But when you eight 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.560 and eight, nine to seven, seven and nine, maybe thirteen 0:13:20.640 --> 0:13:22.880 and whatever, ten and whatever, then you go back to 0:13:22.920 --> 0:13:26.120 eight and eight, you ain't billing that, you ain't sustaining that, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:30.560 and most of all, you wasting contracts. You're wasting because 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:34.560 you Okay, this guy here, he's almost there, Okay, let's 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.840 pay him. And all of a sudden, he was that 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:40.880 guy he's been for three years and he'd be like, 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:43.760 oh my god, I've just given it. And then a 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:48.040 guy abroughtly retires, a guy abruptly goes away, and all 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.280 of a sudden, now you got four or five contracts 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.800 where you're trying to pay off of. Now you go 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.720 to the draft like we are doing. We're trying to 0:13:54.760 --> 0:14:00.040 go through the draft. And you, when you are of 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:04.040 Dallas Cowboys, the New York Yankees, or whoever else that 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:10.600 is an iconic franchise, losing is one thing, and being 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:16.040 bored and losing is another thing. I'm I'm being honest, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:23.200 so and wow, and we gave up the first round 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:28.360 for this kid, Cooper. And if you're a Dallas Cowboys fan, 0:14:29.120 --> 0:14:32.800 you got to be sitting on your hands saying, this 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:36.400 guy got to be right, you know, for today, for tomorrow, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:39.200 and for the fusilla future. He's got to be right, 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:44.360 because if we don't hit right, you have just you 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:46.760 have just messed up your franchise for another two years. 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:49.160 Because now we got to go out and still draft 0:14:49.200 --> 0:14:52.960 the wide receiver, maybe in the first or second round, 0:14:53.320 --> 0:14:57.480 and waited on him. Go back to the phone, James 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.520 in New York City, what's up, James, what's going on 0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:04.680 board ticks taking the call. Amen to you, Nate, when 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:06.320 you said about the winning thing, you know, I want 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:08.240 to talk about the mark too, But you talk about 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:10.280 like the Yankees, no thing. You thought the Yankees would 0:15:10.280 --> 0:15:11.880 have lost a hundred games this year after they want 0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:14.720 a hundred. The Pangs don't care. It's all about winning. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.440 That one thing when you said right just a minute 0:15:16.440 --> 0:15:18.800 ago was spot on, and I'm glad you had that 0:15:18.840 --> 0:15:23.480 take on the Cowboys being relevant about that. As far 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:27.360 as the Amari Cooper trade, I'm with you, Shannon. I 0:15:27.520 --> 0:15:30.360 liked the trade. I think it was the move, but 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.560 I'm not giving up a first round pick for this guy. 0:15:32.560 --> 0:15:35.800 And this is why I feel, at least from your 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:37.840 guy's camps and the other shows, like you know, like 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.640 brought Us and those guys, we're already defending the trade 0:15:40.680 --> 0:15:43.120 before this guy's even stepped on the field, and we're 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:45.720 kind of hoping that he's gonna be the player eybody 0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.320 thought he would be coming at an Alabama. But I 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:50.920 also feel that we're being a little cavalier as far 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:53.160 as these draft picks, because you just gave up a 0:15:53.240 --> 0:15:56.200 draft pick, and that was Layton Vandules. If Layton Vanders 0:15:56.280 --> 0:15:57.920 wasn't on this team, I think would be in a 0:15:57.920 --> 0:16:00.760 lot of trouble. Correct next year, I'm gonna get that guy, 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:03.760 you know. And I just feel that we're just too like, 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:06.560 oh to you know, fifteen sixteen pick. You know, there's 0:16:06.560 --> 0:16:08.240 no receiver. We don't know who's gonna be. These draft 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.040 boards changed by the minute as soon as that draft 0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:14.000 rolls around, especially after the Senior Bowl. So I just 0:16:14.040 --> 0:16:16.480 feel that, you know, we're a little too cavalier about this, 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:18.360 and I think, you know, we have to be CONSTI 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:20.080 of the optimistic because we've seen a blown on our 0:16:20.120 --> 0:16:23.800 face twice with Galloway and or Williams. Oh hey man, 0:16:23.800 --> 0:16:27.680 I'm going nowhere, man, that's talk. Sure. Other guys was 0:16:27.720 --> 0:16:31.760 twenty nine and thirty, this gout twenty four, injured two 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:37.040 years ago, new coach this year. That's cleaning house now. 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.120 I'm kind of with Shannon too, but I'm taking a 0:16:40.160 --> 0:16:44.840 different approaches that let's get this guy a chance to 0:16:44.880 --> 0:16:49.040 prove that he ain't worth the pick two. Well, I 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:50.880 agree with that, Nate, But can I answer a quick 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.160 question though, I mean, went you mentioned mcday before, right, 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:57.960 couple of those guys if you took easily. And I 0:16:57.960 --> 0:17:00.360 think you took Gallop and you took that couple. Let's say, 0:17:00.480 --> 0:17:03.120 wasn't you swapped teams. I'm telling you're gonna get the 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:06.800 same production out of Beasley. Then you know, Beasley and 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:09.240 Gallipol had to give them the same throw close to 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:12.040 it on the rams because of the scheme. It's a 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:14.919 scheme thing. That's why we lost on Sunday against the 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:17.639 Redskins because they don't play action, they don't want you know, 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:20.639 they weren't doing the things that mean him successfulgainst Jacksonville. 0:17:20.760 --> 0:17:23.120 And to me, until we fix that, I was like, Cooper, 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:24.760 I think it's gonna be real hit and miss. And 0:17:24.760 --> 0:17:27.440 that's where I think the struggles are. Oh man, Yeah, 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.240 Now we've had a couple of people that within our 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.680 dot com think it's the same thing that you have 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:40.800 Amara Cooper. Now that's that's gonna bring him in here. 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:44.360 And in three weeks you only have ten or ten 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:47.240 or twelve targets in three weeks, and you'd be like, wow, really, 0:17:48.200 --> 0:17:51.160 you know you got you got to throw this kid 0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:52.800 the ball, and you got to get in the ball 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:56.199 which ever creative where you can or either conventional, it 0:17:56.240 --> 0:17:58.639 don't matter I wish you're on the same page for 0:17:58.760 --> 0:18:03.200 us that right there, But uh, you know, Gil Brand, 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:06.520 guys of that ILK have you know who who Scott 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:10.399 juniors and seniors, and they kind of got an ideal 0:18:10.480 --> 0:18:15.600 where these guys going. Now. I do not discount a 0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:20.480 player growing from his junior year the senior We've all 0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:23.199 seen where a player was on the radar and all 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:25.280 of a sudden he his senior years. You're like, oh 0:18:25.320 --> 0:18:28.159 my god. Yeah, you know, because I hadn't heard and 0:18:28.280 --> 0:18:32.600 Thompson for the Saints until he got to the Saints. 0:18:32.600 --> 0:18:34.680 And now it's like, oh my god, where did this 0:18:34.760 --> 0:18:37.480 kid go from? And the closer gets to the combine, 0:18:37.520 --> 0:18:41.040 the more stock slides and goes up and down. That 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:47.120 was a great, very very great A good call. Man. Yeah, man, 0:18:47.200 --> 0:18:52.160 you your thing is ruck. What he made a statement 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.280 like I like to pick, but I do. I like 0:18:55.440 --> 0:19:00.920 the trade. I just show me, show me like this stork. Yeah, 0:19:00.960 --> 0:19:03.160 and you draft a receiver next year, you're gonna he's 0:19:03.160 --> 0:19:04.920 gonna have to show you too. I like the fact 0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:07.119 that we've got this year's number one. Now look at 0:19:07.200 --> 0:19:12.520 kurr K. What you gotta say to that said, I mean, 0:19:12.960 --> 0:19:16.359 I don't like I said, I don't disagree, and you 0:19:16.359 --> 0:19:19.120 know you hear it, You hear it. A lot just 0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:23.400 needs a change of scenery. He just needs but faith, Yeah, 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:26.399 you need. And I if you if you think about it, 0:19:26.440 --> 0:19:29.040 and you just said it, Nate, He's got a coach 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:32.080 that's blowing up the team that they've pretty much told 0:19:32.080 --> 0:19:34.440 their fans, Hey, we're giving up on this season. Yes, 0:19:34.920 --> 0:19:37.040 I've got a ten year contract. I'm building this team 0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.440 like I wanted. This guy's gone, this guy's gone, whose who? 0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:42.240 Who knows who else is gonna be gone before the 0:19:42.320 --> 0:19:45.920 end of the trade deadline. So I usually I say, 0:19:46.160 --> 0:19:48.280 if a team's getting rid of him, or you picked 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.520 up a free agent off the street in week two 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.040 or three of free agency, there's a reason why they're 0:19:53.040 --> 0:19:56.080 out there. I think this is a different situation. I 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:59.680 think he's he's a product of the team getting blown up. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.919 Oakland saw an opportunity to basically it sounds like a 0:20:03.920 --> 0:20:08.159 bidden war a third first rounder, yeah, and get a 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:10.920 third first rounder yeah, Which if i'm them, I'm all 0:20:10.960 --> 0:20:12.720 in because I'm blowing this thing up anyway, and I 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:14.880 don't know if my quarterback's gonna be there. Who's gonna 0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:18.199 be around this guy. So I like the situation. I 0:20:18.240 --> 0:20:20.919 like the situation he's coming from, and that gives me 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:23.920 hope that that's why we were able to get him. 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:27.280 And he's just had a down year last year. Now. 0:20:27.280 --> 0:20:29.920 The one thing I did hear from brought us this morning. 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:32.320 He was on he was on the fan talking. He 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:35.520 said he watched pretty much every ball that he's been 0:20:35.520 --> 0:20:38.240 thrown over the last two years, and when he drops 0:20:38.240 --> 0:20:43.720 the ball almost every time, it's because he's taking off 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:46.320 and he's being aggressive and he's running before he catches 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:47.879 the ball. It's not like they're hitting him in the 0:20:47.920 --> 0:20:51.040 hands and they're bouncing off. He's he's trying to get 0:20:51.080 --> 0:20:54.959 north and south and go right. So he's an aggressive receiver. 0:20:55.119 --> 0:20:57.480 So that gives me a little bit of hope that, hey, 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:02.560 he doesn't have catching problems. He's being aggressive. So I 0:21:02.560 --> 0:21:05.520 I still like it. Give me three more weeks and 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:10.320 I'll tell you if I love it. Yeah, you know, man, 0:21:10.359 --> 0:21:13.080 I can. And you know I don't have a rebuttal 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:16.680 for either one of you. Guys. Man, it's just we 0:21:16.880 --> 0:21:21.720 have to we have to be successful. We have to 0:21:21.880 --> 0:21:27.280 be successful with this with with this trade. If we're 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:31.800 not successful with this trade, man, I we we we 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:34.439 we've kind of messed this thing up bad. If yeah serious, 0:21:34.640 --> 0:21:37.480 if it's out of if it doesn't work out, yeah, 0:21:37.520 --> 0:21:41.040 you're you're right. I mean you you either gonna you 0:21:41.160 --> 0:21:43.840 either saying a lot about the program that's in place, 0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:47.919 are you are your draft sequenced with them been messed up? 0:21:47.960 --> 0:21:51.920 Because full time before it's gonna be a whole night 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:53.960 then passed where you get a second shot, and that's 0:21:53.960 --> 0:21:57.200 the second round and having a chance of getting a 0:21:57.240 --> 0:22:00.239 player that can be productive for this team and our 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:04.160 second round picks. We ain't been drafting guys that just 0:22:04.880 --> 0:22:07.800 you know, fall to us. Besides Williams, everybody that's kind 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:11.400 of an injured h this that another wrong with him 0:22:11.440 --> 0:22:15.159 and you know, well, I think Nicks a break he is. 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.600 We're gonna go to break tie hanging there. We'll be 0:22:17.640 --> 0:22:20.040 back later on in the show. We're gonna talk about 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:23.240 what Nate used to do on the bye week. We'll 0:22:23.280 --> 0:22:26.440 get to a probably a Blake Jarwin interview and Mama 0:22:26.480 --> 0:22:28.240 Gross later on the show. Take a quick break on 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.080 hanging with the Boys. A man's steps and doesn't just 0:22:31.240 --> 0:22:34.720 protect him from life's elements. It projects an unstoppable and 0:22:34.880 --> 0:22:38.280 legendary spirit, just like the men wearing silver and Navy 0:22:38.320 --> 0:22:41.639 on the field every Sunday. Since eighteen sixty five. Steps 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.080 and Hats are American made with pride right here in Texas. 0:22:45.160 --> 0:22:48.719 They are still the official crown of all self prospecting Cowboys, 0:22:49.040 --> 0:22:51.240 and Stetson is proud to be on the field with 0:22:51.320 --> 0:22:54.840
