Speaker 2: I'm good, Andy. What's going on? How you doing?

19
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 1: I feel great? Let me tell you why. Okay, I

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: just checked. This is the first time all week I checked.

21
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: I checked the Fox Sports Radio bracket challenge. I'm out

22
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: of the basement. I'm not last anymore. Dan Patrick. The

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: last time I looked Dan Patrick was last, and I'm

24
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 1: right there on top of him, and I got like

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: something like fifty nine points, but like you know, in

26
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: third or fourth place is sixty three, so it was

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: kind of bunched up. It's kind of really bunched up.

28
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: So I'm not too bad. How are you doing in

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: that bracket thing?

30
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 2: Not doing well? Because I tend to pick them my heart,

31
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 2: not with my head.

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: So I know, let me ask you an honest question

33
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and you'll and you'll be You'll be straight up with me.

34
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: Does it mean anything like if I if I come

35
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: across like last or next to last, like damp, I mean,

36
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: it's not a reflection on my knowledge. It's it's all

37
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,320
Speaker 1: look right, I mean this stuff. I'm taking this stuff

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: to heart, you know. And Jonas Knox on the Morning

39
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: Show basically is ripping the you know what out of

40
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: me because I was last last week. I mean, is

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: it a big deal? It's just you know, here and gone.

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: That's no, it's no big whoop.

43
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you are viewed as an expert, and

44
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 3: so as an expert, if your last I mean, it

45
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: kind of speaks to your expertise. Maybe, so you just

46
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: got to finish out of the basement. And I know

47
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: there's kind of like a changing trend in the tournament

48
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 3: where this tournament and the women's tournament, we've seen no upsets,

49
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: no madness. In more right, this has been as sharp

50
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 3: as they come when it comes to which teams are advancing.

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: And maybe we just needed a year to reset and

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 3: even next year to be better because then we know

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: just to big the favorites.

54
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 2: The fun is out of playing the bracket.

55
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: No, you're right about that, you know. I'm glad you

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: brought up the women's tournament all right, because women's basketball

57
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,239
Speaker 1: has taken leaps and bounds. I mean, it's big time

58
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: right now, Caitlyn Clark. I mean, Reese was there, THEWNBA,

59
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: the college game, you name it. Women's basketball is on

60
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: the radar right now. However, I would say this, the

61
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: women's tournament, to me, is not getting the accolades and

62
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: the coverage and the press that the menses. And I

63
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: understand that, but don't you think that perhaps the women's

64
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: tournament should not go head to head with the men's

65
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: Maybe the women's tournament should be a week earlier or

66
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 1: a week later. Can they do that? Is that such

67
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: a stupid idea? I think that they should not go

68
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: at the same time.

69
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 3: I think it's hard. I think it's hard the way

70
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 3: that it is just because of all the attention. But

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: march mans is march Mandess has to take place in

72
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 3: the bunch of march I don't know how they can

73
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 3: better do it.

74
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 2: I know that Gino.

75
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 3: Ariema and some of the women have changed about these

76
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 3: super regionals that they're having where they're just having two

77
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 3: sites for regionals as opposed to four sights X, and

78
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 3: that has changed some of the dynamic.

79
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, I think if you're a

80
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: fan of women's hoops, you find it.

81
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: But for the casuals, some of it may be driven

82
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: by the star power or lack of juju. Watson Watkins

83
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: gets hurt. That impacts some of the viewership. And I

84
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 3: think if we're comparing anything and everything to what we

85
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 3: saw the last few years with Caitlin Clark and Iowa,

86
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: I think it's always going to be changed.

87
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: I think that team and her in particular, she.

88
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: Captivated the the American minds, whereas look, it's still front

89
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 3: of mind when it comes to the sports. But I

90
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,720
Speaker 3: just think it's different because she just had a gravitational

91
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 3: pool that led a lot of people to tune in

92
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: and watch you.

93
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: I'm I'm with you right there, But I just think

94
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: that you're right, it's much madness. But perhaps they could

95
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: put it a week prior to the men's or maybe

96
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: you know, like the nit used to do. I think

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 1: they still do it. They play like on Mondays and

98
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: Tuesdays rather than on the weekends. I just don't think

99
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: it's good to go neck and neck at the same

100
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: time head to head, because when it comes head to head,

101
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be lack of television coverage

102
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: on various networks, and also coverage as far as media

103
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: and other areas, be it radio or newspaper wherever. So

104
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: I think the women are taking a second seat, not

105
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: so much because it's not popular, it's because they're going

106
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: head to head with the men. That's the bottom on

107
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: I think.

108
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I mean, I look at I think

109
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: Dad has something to do with it, like just like

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 3: going hit hit, and they've tried to stagger their days.

111
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 3: They've tried to do it where some of it is

112
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 3: like Sundays and Mondays as opposed to the weekend.

113
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 2: As you're seeing from the guys.

114
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: Look, I just think it's a hard slot and you

115
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 3: have to be a hardcore fan to be in love

116
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: with the game and to track it and defined it

117
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: and those things.

118
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 2: It'd be interesting to see what those ratings look like though.

119
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Okay, let's go back to the

120
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: men for a second.

121
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: Now.

122
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: Duke is in eighty five sixty five. They rolled over Alabama,

123
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: and look, I look at this Alabama team. Alabama was

124
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: like against Brigham Young, they something like twenty five three pointers.

125
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: That was an NCAA tournament record. Last night against Duke

126
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 1: eight for thirty two. And look, I'm not so certain

127
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: it was the Duke defense that did it. But look,

128
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 1: you live by the three, you die by the three,

129
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: and that's just the name of the game. And I

130
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: think there comes a point in time where you just

131
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,280
Speaker 1: got to say, look, we're not making it beyond the arc.

132
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: Let's let's try to move inside and get some scoring

133
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: in the paint. I mean, you just can't live with

134
00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: that three point guy. You just can't do it.

135
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 3: I mean, but that's who they are, and that's how

136
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 3: they become. I mean, that's how we look. They were

137
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: a team that was ranked in the top five all year.

138
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 3: They were a team that blew the lights out, I

139
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,280
Speaker 3: mean smoked BYU the night before, hitting twenty five or

140
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 3: fifty one three pointers, and it is a bit of

141
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 3: a feast or famine approach. And against Duke, they couldn't

142
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: get a good going. Now, some of that was Alabama

143
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: being out of rhythm. Some of that was also due

144
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: to the pace of the game not being as up

145
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 3: and down in terms of like just fast breaking quick

146
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: pull up threes.

147
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: And those things.

148
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: And then let's be honest, a lot of it was

149
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: due to Duke's defense. Duke played lights out defense. They

150
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: were switching everything up front. Their length gave Alabama problems

151
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 3: and because Alabama lives by the three or they lived

152
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: by layups or dunks, they refused to settle for the

153
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 3: mid range jumper. And the mid range jumper is what

154
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: was available to them, and.

155
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 2: They refused to take it.

156
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 3: And so I would say they over penetrated too many times,

157
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: led to block shots, led to transitions. But to me,

158
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 3: Duke out played Alabama. They forced Alabama to play on

159
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: their terms. And the bottom line is they have an

160
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 3: absolute superstar in Cooper Flag. But Cooper Flag understands when

161
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,239
Speaker 3: to insert himself into the game and went to allow

162
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: his teammates to take over when they have it going,

163
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 3: and Duke had it going last night.

164
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. Now this is the first time

165
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: going to the final four for the coach of Duke

166
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: john Shire. And when I heard that and I look

167
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: at that situation, I think that there are gonna be

168
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: many college teams and maybe on way off, based on this,

169
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: many college teams are going to be hiring from within.

170
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: What do I mean by that? Shira was on the

171
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: bench right next to the Duke program for years and

172
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: he played for Duke. I think rather than bringing an outsider,

173
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: I think it's better to have a guy who knows

174
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: the program, knows the personnel. And I know personnel means

175
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: nothing in this day and age because you go out

176
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: there in the portal. But I think that colleges right

177
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: now are going to look at the I guess the

178
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: blueprint of what Duke has done and other teams have

179
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: done that they take a guy who sits to the

180
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 1: right side of the head coach and they just bring

181
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: him up there and make him and elevate him as

182
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: the head coach. Is that the right way to go

183
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: rather than go out there and get another coach from

184
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 1: another school. For example, in the area in Cincinnati, Xavier

185
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 1: University lost their coach, Sean Miller goes down to Texas

186
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: and they hire Richard Patina from New Mexico. There was

187
00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 1: some talk of hiring Chris Mack who coached and played Xavier,

188
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: and they wanted to bring him back from I think

189
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,320
Speaker 1: Chattanooga or Charlestony's coaching right now. They didn't bring him back.

190
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: It may have been more of an advantage to bring

191
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: him back because he played there. He knows the school

192
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 1: and he knows the inner the inner workings of the

193
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 1: school rather than bring a new face. Is that way

194
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 1: off base?

195
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 2: It's not all based. I mean, I think it depends

196
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: on who the coach is.

197
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 3: I mean, sometimes you stand inside the family and it works,

198
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 3: sometimes it doesn't. Carolina has traditionally stayed inside the family.

199
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 3: Hubert Davis was a homegrown pick. And you have some

200
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 3: grumbling about the way that they played out, but they've

201
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 3: always done that. You know, Warre Williams, Bill Guthrie, Dean Smith,

202
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: like everyone had a lineage.

203
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: They all had links back to Dean Smith.

204
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,320
Speaker 3: Because you're trying to continue on the traditions that were

205
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 3: established in the Dean Smith and Xavier bringing potentially Chris

206
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 3: Mackback or some of these other teams hiring alums or

207
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 3: people that are played at the programs. There is some

208
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: comfort in knowing that this person understands the traditions of

209
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 3: the program.

210
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: They know the school, they know the community.

211
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 3: But you still want to make sure that you get

212
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 3: the right coach for your program at the time in

213
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 3: which he's taken over.

214
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 1: Now I'm with you right there. Nother good game really

215
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: was the Florida Texas Tech game. Because Florida was down

216
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: like six and a half minutes to go by down

217
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: by ten, I thought it was all over and their

218
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 1: number one seed and look them back to Texas texts

219
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: gonna make a move. Florida wins eighty four to seventy nine.

220
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: They star Walter Clayton Junior. He had that go ahead

221
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:07,719
Speaker 1: three point. They was about a minute to go, and

222
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: they never looked back. They won the game. They're going

223
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: to the final floor right now. Clayton was unbelievable thirty

224
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: points and really and truly I thought Florida was one

225
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: of the best teams. I think I still think Houston's

226
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: gonna win it all. Maybe I'm crazy and they're playing today,

227
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 1: but Florida was a balanced team. For some reason, they

228
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: looked out of sink. They really did look out of

229
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: sink yesterday. They didn't look like Florida was playing well

230
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 1: season long, a lot of sloppiness, turnovers. But they came back.

231
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: And you're down ten points with a six and a

232
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: half to go, I mean, it's almost like death now

233
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: he finished. But they came back, and I give him

234
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,959
Speaker 1: a lot of credit for coming back.

235
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you gotta get them a ton of

236
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,439
Speaker 3: credit because look, with four minutes left, it was seemingly over,

237
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: but Florida came up big and look, man, the shot

238
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 3: that flipped it over when Clayton drive it out and

239
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 3: literally in one motion kind of spun around and hit

240
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: a dagger. Look, great shot makers make big shots, and

241
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: he made a great shot. And they hung in there,

242
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 3: and Texas Tech gave them opportunities by missing free throws,

243
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: which always is critical in March. If you have an

244
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 3: opportunity to knock down your one, and once you got

245
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: to knock them down, you cannot give good teams extra opportunities,

246
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,959
Speaker 3: extra possessions to get back in it. They did it,

247
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 3: and they had to pay for it a great game,

248
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 3: heartbreaking if you're Texas Tech, because you're literally on the

249
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: doorstep of being on the final four. And the tough

250
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: thing about this situation for them is you can't fast

251
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 3: forward next year and put yourself in the same situation.

252
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: You got to go and re earn the right to

253
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: be in the final four. For Florida, THO, Look, man,

254
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 3: every championship team has to have one of those type games,

255
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,079
Speaker 3: one of those heartbreak, hanging on game, hanging in the balance,

256
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 3: you find a way to win. Every championship team normally

257
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 3: has that on the resume in the tournament.

258
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: We'll see if this propels them to.

259
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. So we have half of the

260
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: final four done. Duke in Florida. Today it's Michigan State, Auburn,

261
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 1: and Houston, Tennessee, and we'll talk about them a little

262
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: later on. But right now, I want to know where's

263
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: Saint Peter's, where's Loyal Lover Chicago, Where's Sister Jean. I

264
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,120
Speaker 1: don't know if that's good to a bed, but there

265
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 1: certainly maybe that's the future of the Tournament's all going

266
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,679
Speaker 1: to be the big schools, and that's it. NC Douba

267
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 1: Sweet sixteen, who was in Florida, Alabama, Duke, Texas Tech,

268
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: and so on. Look, is it less interesting? I think

269
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, should it be a Sweet sixteen

270
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 1: without the little guy? I don't know. There's no Darling,

271
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 1: there's no Cinderella, there's no underdog, not even a mid major.

272
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,679
Speaker 1: And I looked at the Sweet sixteen lineup going to

273
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: the Sweet sixteen, there was four Power Conferences SEC seven,

274
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Big Ten four, the Big twelve had four, and the

275
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: ACC had one and that was Duke. So I think

276
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: there's something to be said about maybe lack of interest.

277
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 1: Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe it's just me. I think there's

278
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: a lack of interest where you don't have a school

279
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 1: like Saint Peter's loyal lover of Chicago, those kind of

280
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: storylines that come into the NC DOUBLEA Tournament. Right now,

281
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: this is going to be the future of the tournament

282
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 1: because the big schools just get stronger and bigger and

283
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: better because of nil chance, reportable, whatever it may be.

284
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: That's it. I mean, I saw a school the other day,

285
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: Saint Francis of Pennsylvania. They were in the n Cuba.

286
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: They announced last week that they're dropping out of Division one.

287
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: They're going to Division three. They can't compete. That's it.

288
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: That's all over. It's going to be big schools, the money,

289
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 1: the power schools, and that's it.

290
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 3: I mean, that's where it's going. They have and they

291
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: have nots to people that are all in. When it

292
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 3: came to nil and all the other things, it looks

293
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 3: like that's what you can be dealing with.

294
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 2: That you're not going to have enough to do it.

295
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:46,400
Speaker 3: And when you hear mid majors talk about, look, man,

296
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,679
Speaker 3: we're being treated like a juco basically, you know, stepping stone.

297
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 3: It's hard to retain their players. They can recruit them,

298
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 3: but it's hard to retain them.

299
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:55,600
Speaker 2: That's hard.

300
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 3: I mean, it's really really difficult if you're a coach

301
00:13:58,000 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 3: trying to figure out how to do it.

302
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: You know, it amazes me when I heard that Richard

303
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 1: Patino is leaving New Mexico to go to Xavier of

304
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Ohio in Cincinnati, I scratched my head because you would

305
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: think that New Mexico, you know, is the only show

306
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 1: in town. You probably have some bigger lumps in there

307
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,600
Speaker 1: in that city, in that region, and you know, you

308
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: have some good NIL money where in Cincinnati, he's gonna

309
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: have to compete obviously with a couple of pro teams.

310
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: They got pro football, pro baseball, pro soccer, another Division

311
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: I school in Cincinnati. I'm not so certain that it's

312
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: a better situation for him. I guess he thinks it is,

313
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: but he did say he went to the coach in

314
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: the Big East, and he went to the coach against

315
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: his dad, who coaches at Saint John's. So I was

316
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: scratching my head. New Mexico to Xavier. I mean, I

317
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: know New Mexico is in the hindulands, and I think

318
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: that as good as New Mexico will ever be, there'll

319
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: never be that attention they get because it's not a

320
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 1: large media market, they don't play in a great conference,

321
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: and basically it's the middle of nowhere. That's the problem

322
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 1: with New Mexico.

323
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, that is one of the things, and

324
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: you just kind of wonder how it's going because teams

325
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: are going to have to make a decision to be

326
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:11,760
Speaker 3: all the way in nil portal. The extra money, revenue sharing,

327
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 3: all of that other stuff. It's going to matter an

328
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 3: impact whether you're able to fill the championship caliber program

329
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 3: because it is clear that money matters, and it really

330
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: matters in these situations because the only way to get

331
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: the players just got to have the money. And we're

332
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 3: seeing it. The women's tournament is breaking out like that

333
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 3: right now. It's all the heavyweights that are standing in

334
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 3: the Final four and the Elite eight and the Sweet sixteen.

335
00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 2: That's how it's going to ever be well, I mean.

336
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 1: That's the way it is. I don't know if it's

337
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 1: better or not. But I kind of enjoyed the storylines

338
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: with the little schools and I don't think we're going

339
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 1: to see them anymore. We saw them in the opening

340
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: rounds out the Robert Morris was there, and you know

341
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: they'll get in because of the conferences that they're in,

342
00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: but other than that, they're not going to go much

343
00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: for And that's that's the story. And maybe maybe the

344
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: tournament is better for it because these are the best

345
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: teams perhaps that that are going to be playing right now.

346
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if these are the best teams in

347
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: the tournament, but I know Duke is. I mean that

348
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: they're Chalk Team Florida, Chalk Team Houston as well, so

349
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 1: you've got team in Michigan State. So I think that

350
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 1: those are the teams that people predicted to go deep

351
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: into the tournament. They are, and maybe they're better teams

352
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 1: and maybe that makes for a better tournament. I don't know,

353
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:30,560
Speaker 1: it doesn't make for better storylines. You know, it's like, oh,

354
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: they're there again, ho hum. You know, they dominate their

355
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: conference play and they're coming to the NCAA tournament. They're

356
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: dominating that too.

357
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that that is what's happening. I mean

358
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 3: it is clear as day. The teams with more resources

359
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: are the teams that are saying and they're one of

360
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 3: the teams with all the resources.

361
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

362
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know. I mean, what's hoppy? You know,

363
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: what's going on with North Carolina? What's going on there?

364
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:57,400
Speaker 1: Do they have a lot of packing with nil money?

365
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,280
Speaker 1: Or is that nil money now going to football because

366
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick's there. Because I still believe that if you

367
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: coach at a school that is basketball only, you may

368
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: be better served. Now, remember Richard Patino left the school

369
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 1: that had football and basketball. New Mexico Xavier just has basketball.

370
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Maybe he's better served because money will just go and

371
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 1: funnel into basketball. There's no football there. You know, I

372
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: would to think that there's a pool of alums stay

373
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: at North Carolina, right, And are there just football alums

374
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: and basketball alums or the big time money people that

375
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 1: give money to both. How does that work?

376
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,120
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they there's a lomma.

377
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 3: You gotta have donors that believe in both sports, but

378
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 3: for yours wort particular, and you really write to check

379
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 3: and put backball only in the memo line. At North Carolina,

380
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 3: I think they were slow to change and open up

381
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 3: to the NIO thing to understand how much money played

382
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 3: a part in being able.

383
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: To secure players.

384
00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 3: A lot of time, your arrogance can get in the

385
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 3: way and you kind of think, hey, we're North Carolina.

386
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 3: The brand is big, the program is big, and no

387
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 3: one is bigger than the program. And today's players are like, yeah,

388
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 3: that's cute, and we appreciate all of that, but how

389
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: much are you paying? And that's what it comes down to.

390
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 3: The teams that have the best players are the ones

391
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,199
Speaker 3: that are paying the most. And you have to be

392
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 3: willing to look. You got to be willing to open

393
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 3: up and checkbook. If you want five star recruits, you're

394
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 3: not going to get them just on legacy and tradition.

395
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: You better make sure that the monies are there to

396
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 3: pay them, or you're not gonna be able to compete

397
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 3: with some of the teams that are all in when

398
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: it comes to pushing the chips across the table to

399
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 3: make sure they have the best rosters.

400
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: Right. And you talk about rosters, I mean you look

401
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: at dust team made a coach of Michigan, first year coach,

402
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 1: he made the NCAA Tournament. He coached ed in Florida Atlantic.

403
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: He got a KI and his team from Florida Atlantic,

404
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 1: which really would truly would you have to say Florida

405
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,640
Speaker 1: Atlantic's a mid major. He played in Michigan this year

406
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 1: had another Florida Atlantic kid went into the portal. He's

407
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: at Alabama. So what they're doing right now is they're

408
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: draining the mid majors because there's always one or two

409
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: mid major player that's been overlooked that can play big

410
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: time basketball. They get them out of those mid majors

411
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 1: in the portal, and that's how the mid majors are

412
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 1: going to be just pushed to the wayside. They really will.

413
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: That's the way it's happening. I see it. It's happening

414
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: right now.

415
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is happening, and mid majors are becoming another

416
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 2: transitional stage.

417
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 3: You talk about high school, then ju Goo, then you

418
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: get your lower levels D two, D three, then you

419
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: have your mid major D one's. It's almost coming like

420
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 3: baseball where you have the minor leagues in the farm

421
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: system and you have to prove yourself in a ball

422
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 3: because you get to double A, you know, and triple

423
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 3: A and all of those other things. There are deptist

424
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 3: steps to this, and if you don't come out of

425
00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 3: high school as a five star, you are going to

426
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 3: have to kind of take an alternative route to be

427
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,400
Speaker 3: able to get up and get to where you want

428
00:19:59,400 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: to get to.

429
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: No doubt about that. I were just getting started right here.

430

Speaker 1: the other day. It's gonna make like ten and a

466
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: half million for a year. You could double that to

467
00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: twenty one million if he reaches all the incentives. Right now,

468
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little upset because I think the Giants in fact,

469
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 1: were boxed in for a quarterback at the third pick.

470
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: Now maybe not so, and shoulder standers may not go

471
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 1: to the Giants now, which I was hoping he would surprised.

472
00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:05,480
Speaker 1: I mean, really, Wilson to the Giants that had no quarterback.

473
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: They had Tommy DeVito. So Wilson's probably going to be

474
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the quarterback right now unless there's a quarterback available at

475
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:12,439
Speaker 1: three three.

476
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: I think what you're doing, you're Joe Shanne or Brian

477
00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:17,280
Speaker 2: dave Ball.

478
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 3: You want to make sure you give yourself every opportunity

479
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: to explore all the options that you need to on

480
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 3: draft day, meaning you have the potential to take the

481
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 3: best player available to you whenever the pick comes up.

482
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 3: And what we saw is when they made the move

483
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 3: to give Russell Wilson, they wanted to give themselves that

484
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 3: freedom to go in there without pressure, without having to

485
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 3: chase of need, but to simply take the best player

486
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 3: that is there for.

487
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: Them at three.

488
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 3: If they see a quarterback at three, whether it's're Dors Sanders, Jackson,

489
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 3: Dart Campbell, whoever's there at three, and they like him,

490
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 3: they can take him. But if it's a quarterback that

491
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 3: doesn't necessarily fit how they want to play or what

492
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 3: they want to do, when now they can take the

493
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:03,480
Speaker 3: best as player. Presumably it could be maybe an Abdual Carter,

494
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 3: it could be a Travis Hunter, it could be a

495
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 3: Will Campbell, whoever's available to them right there. To me,

496
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 3: this is smart team building because you don't want to

497
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 3: box yourself in and you don't want to make moves

498
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 3: out of desperation. You want to be able to deliberately think, ponder,

499
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 3: and make really good decisions to put the best players

500
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 3: that are available on your team.

501
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 1: But I would say this right now, if you want

502
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 1: to judge who won the quarterback battle right now in

503
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: New York City Russell Wilson is second to Justin Field's

504
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 1: with the Jets. I think the Jets right now probably

505
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 1: won the quarterback battle, at least off the field thus far.

506
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,920
Speaker 2: Agreed, Maybe, I mean, we won't know until we play.

507
00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 3: Like guess to think about it, like winning in the

508
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 3: off season rarely turns out to.

509
00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 2: Be what we think is going to be on the field.

510
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: Right now, for headlines, yes, Justin Fields appears to be

511
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,159
Speaker 3: a better player. It appears that like the Jets were

512
00:23:56,200 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 3: able to one up their counterparts in the Giants.

513
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: But timea tale.

514
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 3: We'll see how it really really works out when they

515
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 3: both take the field. And when we see the end

516
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 3: of the team building efforts for the Giants, who do

517
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 3: they come away with?

518
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 2: What kind of players do they finish with?

519
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 3: Who is ultimately the QB one that to determine which

520
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 3: team really really won or lost this little conversation.

521
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 1: All right, we mentioned should do with Sanders, But right now,

522
00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: let's talk about his daddy for a second. But I

523
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: said he's number one. Let's talk about his daddy, who's

524
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 1: the coach of Colorado's deon Sanders and Colorado and Sanders

525
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: they agreed on a contract extension through the twenty twenty

526
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: nine season, and that put Dion Sanders in the ten

527
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: million dollar club, one of the ten highest paid coaches

528
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: in college football. Five year deal worth fifty four mil

529
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 1: and says to put Dion Sanders at ten million dollars

530
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: for this coming season, eleven million for the following and

531
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: twelve for twenty twenty nine. And this was in the

532
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 1: Boulder Daily Camera newspaper. My question is this. I'm happy.

533
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 1: I want everybody they get as much money as I

534
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: can and whatever line of work they're in. But what

535
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,200
Speaker 1: has he done to deserve this kind of money? Am

536
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: I crazy?

537
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 2: I mean?

538
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: Really? Why is he getting so much money? Really? And

539
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta believe there are coaches right

540
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: now in college football with more success than Deon Sanders

541
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,720
Speaker 1: scratching their head, banging on their desk and getting ready

542
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 1: to see their athletic theory. They say, wait a minute,

543
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 1: this guy is getting this and what have I Look

544
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: what I've done. I've won bowl games, I've won maybe

545
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: a national championship. Why is he getting more than me?

546
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,440
Speaker 3: Well, to me, it's just pretty easy. Why he's getting it.

547
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 3: Colorado is a national brand. Now we talk about them weekly.

548
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 3: When it comes to football and their exploits, they went

549
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,200
Speaker 3: to a bowl game last year. They won nine games.

550
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 3: They may have two players taken within the top five

551
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 3: picks of the NFL draft. He has made Colorado a

552
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:55,440
Speaker 3: destination spot for recruits for top coaches.

553
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 2: The TV.

554
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,719
Speaker 3: TV can't get enough of Colorado football. He is a brand.

555
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 3: He's driven up in missions and an amount of money

556
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 3: and recognition that Colorado has. So, yeah, this extends beyond

557
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 3: whatever work he did on the field. That's why they

558
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 3: reward him in paying him what they are. And let's

559
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,679
Speaker 3: be honest, he was going to have some overtures. Teams

560
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 3: were going to approach him, and so if they didn't

561
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 3: lock him up, he was going to bounce either to

562
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:25,719
Speaker 3: an NFL team or another team that would open up

563
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: the checkbook and pay for the Anders experience.

564
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,359
Speaker 1: Well, I'll say this, his two year record is thirteen

565
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 1: and twelve. They were nine in four list. Yeah, I

566
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: get it, and look, you know, put the record aside.

567
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: I understand every time you pick up a newspaper or

568
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,159
Speaker 1: magazine he's in there with a story. More than that.

569
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,200
Speaker 1: He's been on sixty minutes. I mean, I don't know

570
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 1: any of the college football coach recently has been on

571
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 1: sixty minutes. So he's done a lot of sales jobs

572
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,480
Speaker 1: for the school, which I think is great, which maybe

573
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: translates into increased enrollment and selling merchandise and whatever it

574
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: may be. And again, you're right. When the college football

575
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 1: is started. Last year, there was the first three weeks,

576
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 1: I think Colorado was on nationally the first three weeks,

577
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: which I can't remember the last time ever Colorado was

578
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,200
Speaker 1: on national TV. So you're right about that. But he's

579
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: got a big challenge coming up this year. Travis Hunt

580
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 1: is gone, his son Shadua Sanders is gone. His other son,

581
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: Charlotte Sanders is gone. What is it a shepherd? Will Shephard?

582
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: The receiver, he's going to be gone. Got a big

583
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: and the pass rush well, bj Green, He's gone big,

584
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 1: big rebuilding season. However, I got to believe that when

585
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: he turned that roster around when he came there, didn't

586
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,679
Speaker 1: get rid of like like something forty plus guys. He

587
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: just said goodbye, we don't need you, we don't want

588
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: you here. He's probably gonna do it again this year.

589
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:39,600
Speaker 3: I don't know if you have to turn it over

590
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,880
Speaker 3: the way that he did, but he's certainly always actively

591
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 3: looking for players to come in.

592
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: They got a top quarterback.

593
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 3: That came in, Juju Lewis coming in from somewhere in Georgia,

594
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 3: maybe Atlanta.

595
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:51,239
Speaker 2: He comes in.

596
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: They got a transfer from Liberty, another quarterback, so they

597
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:57,720
Speaker 3: said at quarterback. In their mind, they feel like they'll

598
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: be okay. And remember this, you know, can read the

599
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 3: record like thirteen and twelve and that doesn't seem worthy

600
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 3: enough of being able to do it. But the team

601
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 3: he inherited, yeah, okay, there were one and eleven. They

602
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 3: were dead last. No one was talking about Colorado. They

603
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 3: were one and eleven, and in two years he's flipped

604
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,359
Speaker 3: him and put him in a Bowl game and had

605
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 3: an opportunity to win the conference if they don't stub

606
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: their toe down the stretch.

607
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,919
Speaker 2: To me, what you're doing, if you're Colorado, you're betting

608
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 2: on the come.

609
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:29,600
Speaker 3: You're betting that he's going to continue to sustain the

610
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 3: excellence that he's shown, and we want to make sure

611
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,480
Speaker 3: we reward him on the front end rather than wait

612
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: and potentially lose him on the back end where it's

613
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 3: either more expensive to retain him or he decides that

614
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 3: a he wants to go elsewhere. So to me, Colorado

615
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 3: is making sure that they keep what has been a

616
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 3: huge boom for them in place.

617
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: Okay, he was nine to four last year and I

618
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: just checked this. It was the first winning record in

619
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: a twelve game season of Colorado since twenty sixteen. Oh yeah,

620
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,720
Speaker 1: he's done. Time to turn around, and he did. But

621
00:29:01,840 --> 00:29:05,120
Speaker 1: I ask you this, how surprised are you that a

622
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,480
Speaker 1: guy who has played the game, and more often than

623
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: not professional players who played in the NFL did not

624
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: go with the college coaching. They just don't. I understand why.

625
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: It's a grind, you know, the fourteen to fifteen hour

626
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: days and recruiting and now, and they didn't want to

627
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 1: do it. He did it. I commend him for doing that.

628
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:25,640
Speaker 1: How surprised to all you that not only did he

629
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: do it, but he did it and he's been successful

630
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 1: not only at Colorado but at Jackson State.

631
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: I would say I'm not surprised, but I would say

632
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: that my relationship with him made it. Well, I'm not

633
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,080
Speaker 3: surprised because we worked the other NFL network for over

634
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: a decade. I would see him every Sunday night. At

635
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 3: the time he was coaching youth ball. Then he was

636
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,360
Speaker 3: coaching high school ball, and so we would share stories

637
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 3: about what took place over the course of the week,

638
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,560
Speaker 3: how the season was going, what he's learned, what he's

639
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 3: working on, all of those things. And for everyone who

640
00:29:56,280 --> 00:30:01,920
Speaker 3: thinks his success is just a recent development when it

641
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 3: comes to coaching, I can tell you he's been in

642
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 3: this a long time. He's been rebuilding sports programs for

643
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,360
Speaker 3: a long time. Building up his youth program which was

644
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 3: the Truth, that's what they called it.

645
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 2: It was a baseball, basketball, football, and.

646
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 3: Track program that had a million kids running through there,

647
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 3: then taking over a couple different high schools being a

648
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 3: part of their coaching staffs, and then having a chance

649
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 3: at Jackson State, and every step of the way he's

650
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 3: proven that he can be very, very successful. And even

651
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:31,560
Speaker 3: though with the jump from Jackson State to Colorado was

652
00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 3: a big one man, it took him a year to

653
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: kind of figure out what he needed to do, but

654
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 3: in year two it popped and popped.

655
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: In a major way. He is a shrewd businessman, big.

656
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,720
Speaker 3: Time marketer, but even beneath all of that, he's really

657
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 3: an old school coach with good values that work, and

658
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 3: they work in this game and they've always worked, and

659
00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: so I am not.

660
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 2: Surprised to see a success.

661
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 3: I think people get caught up in the glam and

662
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 3: the glitz and they don't see that what you have

663
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 3: is an old school coach who has blue collar values

664
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: that have always worked in college football.

665
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:06,600
Speaker 1: You sold me on him, and I've always been a fan,

666
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: but you sold me on him because the money think

667
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: kind of knocked me for a loop. It really did.

668
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 1: And speaking of money, we talked about the first round

669
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 1: draft pick, and by less than a month right now

670
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: for the draft, the Tennessee Titans will be on the

671
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,400
Speaker 1: clock with a number one pick and Penn State outside linebacker,

672
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,360
Speaker 1: I have Dual Carter. He's banging the drum right now

673
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: for himself, saying that he should be the first name

674
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 1: called by Commissioner Roger Goodelfhi the Jedi, and he says,

675
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: I think that my overall impact on the game really

676
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 1: on my versatility. I can play multiple positions. I feel

677
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,400
Speaker 1: like most importantly, I step up when I'm needed the most,

678
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: when crunch time comes around, when you need somebody to

679
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:42,320
Speaker 1: make that big play, I feel like I'm the guy

680
00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: who makes that big play. All right, It's great, I've

681
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 1: Dual Carter. You know what I'll do. You're a great player,

682
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: You're not going to be number one. I just think

683
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: that although people normally say, let's draft for needs know

684
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:55,719
Speaker 1: you're going to go for a quarterback. I don't think

685
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm ever going to see the day that we'll see

686
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: a non quarterback pick for number one.

687
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,920
Speaker 3: I would say I understand the dual carter campaigning for

688
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 3: the number one over a pick, and in most years,

689
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: I would say he probably would get that. A lot

690
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,720
Speaker 3: of it still depends on the Tennessee Titans and how

691
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 3: they viewed the quarterbacks in the class. Dr Sanders cam Ward.

692
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:22,440
Speaker 3: Cam Ward is presumed to be the number one overall.

693
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 3: The conversation over the last two weeks is that he's

694
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 3: a lock to be number one to the Sanseea Titans.

695
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: He just had his pro day. Everyone was oohing and

696
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 3: owen over what he was able to do on the field,

697
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 3: and so maybe the Titans go that way because with

698
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 3: our quarterback, you don't have a chance, particularly in this

699
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,480
Speaker 3: league where you've seen the elite quarterbacks carry their teams

700
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 3: to the winner circle.

701
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:45,440
Speaker 2: That s it.

702
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 3: Pass rushers are coveted at a premium abdua call. It

703
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 3: is one of the best pass rushers in the drafts.

704
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,720
Speaker 3: He's natural, he's fluid, he's slippery when it comes to

705
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 3: his maneuvers in those things. As you dig deeper, though,

706
00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 3: he's only had one year of exceptional production, and you

707
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: just want to make sure that his.

708
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 2: Skill is transcendent.

709
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 3: Now I've heard people talk about him as a generational

710
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 3: talent in those things.

711
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 2: I am a little more.

712
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: Conservative in terms of putting generational talent tape labels on guys.

713
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,600
Speaker 2: But he's a fantastic pass rusher.

714
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 3: And in a league that is built on the passing game,

715
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 3: you got to have quarterbacks, you got to have pass

716
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: rushers and cover guys, and it's amazing.

717
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 2: If you need a pass rusher, due call is the guy.

718
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 1: I would say this, the fact that he just went

719
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: public like that, and I got to believe behind all

720
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: that is his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, because he's that kind

721
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 1: of a guy. He had Pro Day, but he didn't

722
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 1: even participate in the Pro day, so all of a sudden,

723
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 1: Drew Rosenhaus is telling him what to say. I'm sure

724
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: he did. And also he's coming up that shoulder arm

725
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,640
Speaker 1: injury that he had during the college football playoffs, So

726
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 1: I think there's a bit of a risk factor there

727
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: as well. I don't think he'll be number one when

728
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: Tennessee has their chance to get their first pick. I

729
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 1: don't think he'll be number one first round of Yes,

730
00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 1: not number one, agreed.

731
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:05,239
Speaker 3: Uh, Look, he's Look, he's one, no load lower than

732
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:08,520
Speaker 3: three or four, and I think there's gonna be a

733
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 3: serious conversation for him at one and two if he's available.

734
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: That's how people view him, That's how he's talked about

735
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: in the scanning community. He's a talented kid, and he's

736
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 3: been impactful. It helps city where is number eleven, So

737
00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:25,320
Speaker 3: people have visions of Michael Parsons to a lesser extent,

738
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 3: or Arrington because.

739
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 2: Levart made the number famous.

740
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:31,440
Speaker 3: But yeah, he certainly benefits from from all of that,

741
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 3: and there are a lot of people that are excited

742
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:33,480
Speaker 3: about his potential.

743
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:36,040

Speaker 1: a long long time, so I know you have the answer.

770
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:56,000

771
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: and media, Why are they so interested and obsessed with

772
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: content tracks of players and teams attendants? What do they

773
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,560

774
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 3: Well, I think the reason why you're interested in it

775
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:14,160
Speaker 3: is from a player standpoint. The money reflects how much

776
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 3: a team respects you and how much they value you

777
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,919
Speaker 3: and what you're going to do. So your fans want

778
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,760
Speaker 3: to know who we count on to be our best players.

779
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 3: And so when we sign free agency we draft people,

780
00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:27,359
Speaker 3: we want to know, like, why are you paying them

781
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 3: so much money?

782
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 2: Oh?

783
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 3: That means he must be good, So it raises the

784
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:34,400
Speaker 3: level of expectations. The compensation has to equate to the production.

785
00:36:34,840 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 3: That's why fans want to know. We want to know

786
00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,680
Speaker 3: who are we counting on to produce for our teams

787
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,840
Speaker 3: in the upcoming seasons.

788
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:43,360
Speaker 1: Thank you, Now I know, and now I've got the answer.

789
00:36:43,400 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: But why is everybody, at least in the media always

790
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:47,760
Speaker 1: concerned about the attendance or lack thereof?

791
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 2: Repeat what you said about the attendants?

792
00:36:51,640 --> 00:36:54,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, why are the why is the media so concerned

793
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: with attendants always running about attendance is down x percent

794
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: with this.

795
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 3: Team, because that's the way we jud right, because we

796
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 3: judge how much we adore our teams bout how many

797
00:37:03,719 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 3: people are rabid about the thing, how many people show up?

798
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 3: What's the viewership like, like, are you really into this

799
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,560
Speaker 3: or are you not into it? Because maybe it speaks

800
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:16,160
Speaker 3: to a bigger problem. That's why we always are worried

801
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,720
Speaker 3: about how many people show up at games?

802
00:37:18,120 --> 00:37:20,200
Speaker 1: Thank you God, think answer. Okay, let's talk about Houk

803
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 1: the renfro right now. He's a technical comeback in the NFL.

804
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: He was once, I guess, a premiere pass catcher. He's

805
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: twenty nine years old. He set out the twenty twenty

806
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,359
Speaker 1: four season. He could be reunited with the Raiders. How

807
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 1: tough is a comeback for any player?

808
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:38,799
Speaker 3: I mean it's tough because the year it can be

809
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,440
Speaker 3: a lifetime. I think a wide receiver it can be done.

810
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,319
Speaker 3: Though I don't think it's that big of a deal

811
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: for him to want to explore or kind of take

812
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:50,239
Speaker 3: a year off reset and then come back. The way

813
00:37:50,280 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: that he plays speed isn't an issue. He was more

814
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 3: of a quick guy that allowed on that.

815
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:55,640
Speaker 2: So I think it'd be fine.

816
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,280
Speaker 3: I think if he can just get through the russ

817
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 3: In Mini caamp training camp of those things, I think

818
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 3: it'd be back to the same old Hunter Renford that

819
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 3: we've seen.

820
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,759
Speaker 1: I just think sometimes guys who will retired and they

821
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 1: come back, they probably need the money. Am I wrong

822
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 1: on that? That's why no, I won't.

823
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,720
Speaker 3: I won't say that it's always that you need the money,

824
00:38:13,760 --> 00:38:15,960
Speaker 3: but I would say maybe he really really missed the game.

825
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 3: And for Hunter Renforred, you got to remember he was

826
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,840
Speaker 3: a guy that was a highly productive player. Josh mcdanines

827
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 3: comes in and he all of a sudden loses his spot,

828
00:38:23,320 --> 00:38:25,960
Speaker 3: is no longer involved in the offense. Maybe there was

829
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 3: a sense of frustration that led him to step away

830
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: for the game, but now he wants to come back.

831
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:35,240
Speaker 1: Right, got it? Okay? University of Connecticut women's basketball coach

832
00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:38,919
Speaker 1: Gino Rima, he's upset and you mentioned this earlier on today.

833
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,400
Speaker 1: He's upset that the NCAA has moved to a two

834
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: regional site for the women's tournament this year from nineteen

835
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,479
Speaker 1: twenty from twenty twenty three on this year and after

836
00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:50,440
Speaker 1: previously they hosted games at four locations like the men.

837
00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Do you agree that basically there's the wrong thing to do.

838
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 1: I think that you want to get exposure as much

839
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,560
Speaker 1: as you can. Why go to two regions instead of four?

840
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 3: As you were saying, he was saying, fewer people around

841
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: the country, you have an opportunity to see the game.

842
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 3: So now, because you have two big super regionals and

843
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:13,440
Speaker 3: you have eight teams there as opposed to four teams,

844
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:16,800
Speaker 3: logistically it's a nightmare trying to get practice time, trying

845
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:18,359
Speaker 3: to get on the court, trying to get to and

846
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 3: from the gym back to the hotel. I understand all

847
00:39:23,000 --> 00:39:24,840
Speaker 3: of those things, and I understand why you want to

848
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 3: go back. Theoretically, you're right, and it would make sense

849
00:39:27,680 --> 00:39:29,960
Speaker 3: to have everybody there because you got more bang for

850
00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 3: your buck. You're more likely to feel the capacity of

851
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 3: the stadiums, So it makes sense from a business standpoint.

852
00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:39,640
Speaker 2: But I understand why he would be frustrated at that.

853
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 1: Okay, last, but not least, the other was sports popularity

854
00:39:42,560 --> 00:39:43,920
Speaker 1: as we know it right now. I'm going to think

855
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 1: it's NFL and college football one on one, a maybe

856
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: college basketball second in the NBA. Do you agree that

857
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:54,640
Speaker 1: college basketball basically is trailing and they're kind of out

858
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:57,560
Speaker 1: distancing Major League Baseball NHL in the NBA.

859
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: I mean, look, that's really I don't know where they

860
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,040
Speaker 3: slot and the thing, it's just hard to keep up

861
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:05,800
Speaker 3: because you can't there's no name recognition.

862
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 2: We know Cooper.

863
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 3: Flag, but we don't know the rest of the guys

864
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 3: that are really playing in a tournament.

865
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 2: That makes it challenging.

866
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, so they're falling behind, but football is always gonna

867
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: be king, so you can't keep up with that.

868
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 2: That's a different.

869
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:18,760
Speaker 1: Federal quarterback has his eye on this team, but Bucky

870
00:40:18,760 --> 00:40:23,560
Speaker 1: brook says, not so fast. That's next a surprise in

883
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 3: That means the draft is really really creeping up on us,

884
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: and I'm excited to see where these players go.

885
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 2: Well, also kind of finishing out who's gonna win marsh Madness.

886
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 1: Right, and today there's two games of the teams getting

887
00:41:13,560 --> 00:41:16,600
Speaker 1: into the Final Four. Tennessee Houston Michigan State, overn. I

888
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:18,759
Speaker 1: want to say something about Michigan State because I don't

889
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 1: think this man gets the credit he deserve. I'll talk

890
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,080
Speaker 1: about Tom Izzo. Tom Iso, the basketball coach in Michigan State.

891
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:26,600
Speaker 1: He can become the fifth coach in college basketball history

892
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,439
Speaker 1: to reach the Final Four with a win today, reach

893
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,080
Speaker 1: the Final Four nine times if he beats Auburn Okay.

894
00:41:32,960 --> 00:41:36,600
Speaker 1: Izzo is in fifth place for the most Final Four appearances.

895
00:41:36,719 --> 00:41:40,600
Speaker 1: He's got eight, behind Roy Williams, Dean Smith, John Wooden,

896
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 1: and Marshassky. That's unbelievable. I just don't think he gets

897
00:41:45,080 --> 00:41:47,600
Speaker 1: the credit he deserves. And a win by Michigan State

898
00:41:47,640 --> 00:41:50,640
Speaker 1: today with ty Izzo for fourth place all time with

899
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: Roy Williams in the standings that's amazing. Really, he is

900
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:57,320
Speaker 1: one of the greatest coaches in college basketball and doesn't

901
00:41:57,360 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: get the accolades. I guess the others do to make

902
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,840
Speaker 1: a lot of noise, that's the problem. He's quiet, quietly.

903
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: He gets the job done.

904
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,960
Speaker 3: He does get a job done. He's one of the

905
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,120
Speaker 3: best coaches that we've seen. He doesn't, in an old

906
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:14,680
Speaker 3: school way, throwback, very confrontational when it comes to his players.

907
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: He demands a lot out of them and they respond.

908
00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 3: And he wants a tough minded, blue collar team that

909
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 3: makes you work on on the on the other end

910
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 3: to get every bucket and they're gonna challenge you.

911
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 2: And it has really been very effective for him.

912
00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:34,319
Speaker 3: You talk about the number of final fours that they've

913
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 3: gone to, and let me say this, like they've they've

914
00:42:36,560 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 3: done it without having the most talented teams in most

915
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,719
Speaker 3: of those tournaments. And so it's a testament to toughness,

916
00:42:43,800 --> 00:42:46,479
Speaker 3: tenacity and how that can get you over the top

917
00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:48,879
Speaker 3: and kind of carry you to the threshold of being

918
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 3: a champion.

919
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 2: So he should be celebrated.

920
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 3: It'd be interesting to see how this team battles out

921
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 3: against a very talented Auburn team.

922
00:42:56,280 --> 00:42:57,960
Speaker 2: Can they impose their.

923
00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 3: Will on the Tigers, because that's that's what it's going

924
00:43:00,600 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 3: to come down to, because the Tigers are more talented.

925
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 3: But there's something to be said for making people have

926
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 3: to deal with you when you are a tough, minded, relentless,

927
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 3: resilient squad.

928
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,240
Speaker 1: And you know, it's funny you mentioned he's old school.

929
00:43:16,360 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: I am sure over the years tom Izzo has gotten

930
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 1: some nibbles from other schools to coach there, and more

931
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: often than not, when a coach gets a nibble, it's

932
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,800
Speaker 1: like news all over the country. You never hear anything

933
00:43:28,840 --> 00:43:31,480
Speaker 1: about tom Izzo about that. You really don't. He's been

934
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: at Michigan State. He's state at Michigan State. Even if

935
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,320
Speaker 1: he's gotten a call or a sort of a nibble,

936
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:39,919
Speaker 1: you never hear it. I mean, he's just there, does

937
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:42,200
Speaker 1: his job and stays at Michigan State. I love that,

938
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 1: I really do. He's a pros pro.

939
00:43:44,239 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 2: He really is, oh one hundred percent, he is absolutely

940
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: a pros pro.

941
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 3: You don't hear about him kind of being involved in

942
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: those things like there are some look, I think he

943
00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:00,320
Speaker 3: had some offers years ago. Potentially Bill Cavaliers wasn't the

944
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 3: pit for Yeah, he's been lawyer to the sword.

945
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: Sure as like you, just like you, all right, I

946
00:44:09,160 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: tell you, it's funny. We're gonna move over to football

947
00:44:10,920 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: for a second right now, because that's your wheelhouse, it

948
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:16,719
Speaker 1: really is. And then we talked about the Cleveland Browns.

949
00:44:16,719 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: There's no doubt in my mind they need a quarterback.

950
00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:21,279
Speaker 1: And you know, just the other day, I think it

951
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 1: was Thursday, Kurt Cousins just happened to be in Cleveland.

952
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,279
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking right now, if the Cleveland Browns were

953
00:44:27,360 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 1: draft Abdul Carter and they have Abdull Carter on defense

954
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:33,520
Speaker 1: of Miles Garrett, all they would need is a quarterback

955
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: and away they go. There's no doubt in my mind

956
00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 1: they would do that. And also, I mean, Kurt Cousins

957
00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,319
Speaker 1: right now could be the guy he wants to be

958
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,359
Speaker 1: out of Atlanta. And obviously he's in Ohio and I look,

959
00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 1: they claim according to the NFL media, his trip to

960
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,960
Speaker 1: Cleveland was not NFL related. Who knows. I don't know.

961
00:44:52,239 --> 00:44:54,920
Speaker 1: But the point is, if the Browns could sign Kurt

962
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:58,839
Speaker 1: Cousins and get Abdual Carter in the draft, they'll be

963
00:44:58,960 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: pretty tough.

964
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:05,759
Speaker 3: Maybe, But is Kirk Cousins good anymore? I mean, we're

965
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:09,600
Speaker 3: assuming that Kirk Cousins can still play. Like, if we're

966
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 3: going to celebrate Kirk Cousins, then we can't be mad

967
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 3: at the Giants for poop poo or poop pool on

968
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson going to the Giants. Russell Wilson now played

969
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins last year. The last time we saw Kirk Cousins,

970
00:45:21,760 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 3: he had like a four or five game stretch where

971
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:27,839
Speaker 3: he had one touchdown in eight or nine interceptions. So

972
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: I don't know if Kirk Cousins can still play. Like,

973
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 3: that's the thing that I would be concerned about if

974
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 3: I'm a Browns fan. I understand on paper makes sense, like, yeah,

975
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 3: we get up Duel Carter, it works, Kirk Cousins has

976
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 3: a relationship with Stefanski, YadA, YadA, YadA. But all we

977
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 3: convinced that the thirty seven year old Kirk Cousins can

978
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: still play.

979
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: That's the number one thing that you have to talk.

980
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 3: About when you're considering paying I'm twenty seven million dollars

981
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 3: for his efforts.

982
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 1: Well, the first thing you do, he's got to be

983
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,400
Speaker 1: released by the Atlanta fe Falcons, Because the Falcons have

984
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: decided at least to keep him for the time being.

985
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: Number one, you mentioned Kevin Statistic. I think he was

986
00:46:05,640 --> 00:46:08,600
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator of Minnesota when Cousins was there. Is

987
00:46:08,600 --> 00:46:10,000
Speaker 1: that correct? I think he was.

988
00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. But now here's the thing. Kirk Cousins has a

989
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:13,320
Speaker 2: no trade clause.

990
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:17,040
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins is waiting until after the first day of

991
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 3: the draft to waive that no trade clause because he

992
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,120
Speaker 3: doesn't want to get caught in a situation that he

993
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 3: got caught in last year where he signed with the

994
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: Falcons then they drafted somebody. So he wants to make

995
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,759
Speaker 3: sure he doesn't step into a situation like that. That's

996
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:32,640
Speaker 3: why when we talk about the money and all that,

997
00:46:34,360 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 3: it's on kirk Cusses.

998
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: Well, I would say this, I mean, what's the option

999
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 1: in Cleveland right now? They're stuck with that Deshaun Watson deal.

1000
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: That's the problem with money. But the point is that

1001
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 1: if they could get Kirk Cousins, he's got to be

1002
00:46:47,760 --> 00:46:49,919
Speaker 1: better than what they have. Number one and number two.

1003
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:52,280
Speaker 1: You've always said that if a guy comes off an injury,

1004
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 1: it almost takes two years. That second year he may

1005
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:56,919
Speaker 1: come back, and he had an injury. He was there

1006
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 1: last year, you know, look, I know he had some

1007
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: problems over there. Yeah, but I just don't think that

1008
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:03,480
Speaker 1: was a team for him. I think that if he

1009
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,799
Speaker 1: could go to Cleveland get it done, that team's going

1010
00:47:05,880 --> 00:47:08,360
Speaker 1: to be defensive minded on a running game, that's what

1011
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:10,759
Speaker 1: they are. And if he could just not turn the

1012
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:14,319
Speaker 1: ball over, you know, just just do adequate adequately over

1013
00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 1: there in Cleveland, they could be reckoned with they can.

1014
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 1: They could, they could be a contender in that division.

1015
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,840
Speaker 1: They really could. Defensively, they'd be unbelievable.

1016
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look in theory that that is true,

1017
00:47:27,040 --> 00:47:29,880
Speaker 3: but now here, here's what you have to decide. If

1018
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,880
Speaker 3: you're the Cleveland Browns, all right, kirk Cousins said, limited

1019
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 3: playoff success.

1020
00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: If kirk Cousins is all the things that.

1021
00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:38,560
Speaker 3: You say that he can be coming back second year

1022
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: from the injury, taste, care of the ball is really

1023
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 3: solid and effective in Kevin Stefanski's system, Where does kirk

1024
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 3: Cousins stack up in the AFC amongst quarterbacks when we

1025
00:47:49,719 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 3: know that you have to go toe to toe with

1026
00:47:52,320 --> 00:47:54,080
Speaker 3: the best quarterback, Let's start in the division.

1027
00:47:54,800 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson.

1028
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,879
Speaker 3: We don't even know who pays gonna get but let's

1029
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: say they get Aaron Rodgers.

1030
00:48:02,400 --> 00:48:04,600
Speaker 2: Where does kirk Cousins stack up in the division.

1031
00:48:05,320 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 3: Then when you go outside the division, Pat Mahomes and

1032
00:48:08,760 --> 00:48:13,320
Speaker 3: Josh Allen and Justin Herbert and CJ. Stroud and others,

1033
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: are we confident that Kirk Cousins is going to make

1034
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,719
Speaker 3: the Cleveland Browns a viable contender? Or are we just

1035
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:23,040
Speaker 3: looking for an option to keep our head above water

1036
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,720
Speaker 3: while we navigate the situation with Deshaun Watson and finally

1037
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:28,560
Speaker 3: get his number off the books.

1038
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't know if kirk Cousins takes them. I don't

1039
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:33,560
Speaker 2: know how much better he makes them.

1040
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 3: You know, if you're gonna do it, and so Stamfi

1041
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:37,880
Speaker 3: Stefanski knows him, knows how to work around some of

1042
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:39,480
Speaker 3: his deficiencies, But.

1043
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1044
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if his the signing of Kirk Cousins

1045
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 3: moves the needles significantly.

1046
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 1: I would say this, and I hear what you're saying.

1047
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: Are you're rating the quarterbacks and making the quarterbacks basically

1048
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: the success factor of the teams in that division? We've

1049
00:48:54,239 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 1: seen last year it didn't work out that way. What

1050
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:59,040
Speaker 1: do I mean by that? Look at the stats that

1051
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,640
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow put up and that team didn't make the playoffs,

1052
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:04,799
Speaker 1: all right, So I don't think that's entirely correct, and

1053
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't mean to put you down like that, but

1054
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 1: I just don't think that even though the quarterbacks are

1055
00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:12,080
Speaker 1: probably head and shoulders above Kirk Cousins in that division,

1056
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 1: doesn't mean those teams will be better than the Cleveland

1057
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 1: Browns because look, the Bengals right now have a major

1058
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,399
Speaker 1: deficiencies on the defensive side of the ball. So even

1059
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:24,279
Speaker 1: if Joe Burrow has a tremendous year throws up for

1060
00:49:24,360 --> 00:49:28,080
Speaker 1: five thousand yards and forty five touchdowns, you know, defensively

1061
00:49:28,239 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 1: they may be giving up more than anybody else in

1062
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,719
Speaker 1: that division. They'll be winning games or losing games like

1063
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,600
Speaker 1: forty one forty five something like that. So I think

1064
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,120
Speaker 1: that defensively is the key, and that's the Achilles Heals

1065
00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati. So with Kirk Cousins, they could still be

1066
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:46,080
Speaker 1: better than Cincinnati, although Cincinnati has Joe Burrow.

1067
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,480
Speaker 3: I mean, they're really key, he could be, but remember

1068
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 3: the Browns were terrible on defense last year too, Like

1069
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,360
Speaker 3: they weren't dominant. I mean, they have Miles Garrett, but

1070
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,640
Speaker 3: if you're saying Miles getting a dual carter are going

1071
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 3: suddenly make them great. Okay, two years ago they were

1072
00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:06,040
Speaker 3: a great defense. Last year not so much. They don't

1073
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 3: have a running back. Nick Chubb is no longer there. Remember,

1074
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,960
Speaker 3: they like, they don't have any of these things that

1075
00:50:12,040 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 3: you need to prop up a Kirk Cousins, And so

1076
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,439
Speaker 3: if they go that route, there's a lot more work

1077
00:50:18,480 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 3: to do on that roster to enable them to play it,

1078
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 3: because remember, Kirk Cousins doesn't elevate your team. He may

1079
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:28,200
Speaker 3: kind of steady it right now, but he's not a

1080
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,880
Speaker 3: transformative guy that is going to take this team and

1081
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:34,680
Speaker 3: radically overhaul who they are and what they've been.

1082
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 2: We'll see.

1083
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,240
Speaker 3: I mean, just like Russell Wilson doesn't move the needle,

1084
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: just like I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to

1085
00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,239
Speaker 3: move the needle much in Pittsburgh when you're dealing with

1086
00:50:45,280 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 3: an older quarterback who lacks mobility. They got to be

1087
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 3: so great and like the accuracy, touch, timing and anticipation area.

1088
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,040
Speaker 3: I don't know if any of those guys as they

1089
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:01,120
Speaker 3: get older are good enough to got to be the

1090
00:51:01,160 --> 00:51:02,719
Speaker 3: difference makers for those teams.

1091
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,799
Speaker 1: And I'm glad you brought that up because that leads

1092
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,839
Speaker 1: us right into what you wrote about on NFL dot

1093
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,000
Speaker 1: Com this week, Bucky Brooks and his NFL mock draft.

1094
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:13,440
Speaker 1: I guess number three NFL dot Com, which is tremendous.

1095
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,640
Speaker 1: And you did that. You said you have three quarterbacks

1096
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,560
Speaker 1: in the first thirty two picks and three running backs.

1097
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,960
Speaker 1: First of all, this final mock draft number one, is

1098
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: it your final one? Or there'll be another one before

1099
00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 1: the draft?

1100
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:25,919
Speaker 2: Oh, there'll be another. I'm sure there may be two

1101
00:51:25,960 --> 00:51:27,359
Speaker 2: other ones. I don't know.

1102
00:51:27,440 --> 00:51:30,920
Speaker 3: I mean, those things get clicks, so we kind of

1103
00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 3: sand to do a bunch of them.

1104
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,680
Speaker 1: Okay, let's do this right now. Let's go number one,

1105
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: and Tennessee has the first pick. And you said that

1106
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: Cam Woard, the quarterback, will be picked by the Tennessee tiers,

1107
00:51:43,040 --> 00:51:46,400
Speaker 1: so that that leaves I guess Abdul Carter on the sidelines.

1108
00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:47,759
Speaker 1: He will not be the number one pick. You got

1109
00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:51,440
Speaker 1: Brian Callahan, the coach there, saying that Cam was their quarterback. However,

1110
00:51:52,080 --> 00:51:55,560
Speaker 1: I remember you telling me that. You said, Brian Callahan

1111
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,000
Speaker 1: said that your Dr Sanders reminds him of Joe Burrow.

1112
00:51:59,200 --> 00:52:01,399
Speaker 1: I would think she'd door Sanders will be picked over

1113
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 1: cam Ward in Tennessee. Maybe I'm crazy. You got kim Ward.

1114
00:52:04,840 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 1: Tell me why you got kim Ward going to Tennessee.

1115
00:52:07,920 --> 00:52:11,040
Speaker 3: Well, just reading the tea leaves this isn't how I

1116
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,799
Speaker 3: would rank them, because if you ask me in quarterbacks,

1117
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,400
Speaker 3: I have Shuder Sanders over cam Ward in terms of

1118
00:52:16,400 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 3: how he plays.

1119
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: The game in those things.

1120
00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 3: But in Tennessee and around the league, there seems to

1121
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 3: be a fascination with cam Ward. His tools, his talent,

1122
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:29,000
Speaker 3: and his tennasty really have captivated the minds of scouts

1123
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:29,800
Speaker 3: around the league.

1124
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 2: They love his story going from a zero star recruit to.

1125
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:38,320
Speaker 3: Incarnate word, to Washington State to Miami, displaying that leadership ability.

1126
00:52:38,440 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 3: He has tools where you can throw in the pocket,

1127
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 3: out of the pocket, off platform, in platform, working with structure,

1128
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:47,920
Speaker 3: without structure, all of those things. And if you're a

1129
00:52:47,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 3: team that is trying to roll the dice on a

1130
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 3: player with superpowers, cam Ward would.

1131
00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: Be your guy.

1132
00:52:54,280 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 3: Because we talked about the quarterback slate that you're dealing

1133
00:52:56,800 --> 00:53:01,879
Speaker 3: with in the AFC, it makes sense, But my mind

1134
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 3: comes back to Callahan talking about the touch, timing and

1135
00:53:04,560 --> 00:53:07,560
Speaker 3: anticipation with your doer centers and those things. I just

1136
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 3: believe he gets outvoted in this scenario and cam Ward

1137
00:53:11,680 --> 00:53:13,360
Speaker 3: ends up being the one that holds up the powder

1138
00:53:13,320 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: blue jersey.

1139
00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:17,160
Speaker 1: On Gleig, you said that you see outvoted. How does

1140
00:53:17,239 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: that work? Is it similar on most teams? Does the

1141
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:22,759
Speaker 1: head coach go into a meeting and say I need

1142
00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,719
Speaker 1: this guy, I need a quarterback? The position coaches come

1143
00:53:26,760 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 1: in there, the general manager who basically makes the Finnel

1144
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:32,360
Speaker 1: picks of the vote. Is it a democracy or is

1145
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 1: there one guy doing it and say I want this guy?

1146
00:53:36,320 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: I mean every.

1147
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,120
Speaker 3: Time the democratic process is ever changing. And I would

1148
00:53:41,160 --> 00:53:43,759
Speaker 3: say in NFL meeting rooms, it depends.

1149
00:53:43,480 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 2: On who has the power.

1150
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:47,120
Speaker 3: If the general manager has the power, and to say

1151
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,879
Speaker 3: he ultimately can determine which guy's gonna be the guy.

1152
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: You would like to do it with the blessing of

1153
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 3: the coaching staff, and you would like to have open

1154
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 3: dialogues so everyone agrees on the pick.

1155
00:53:59,440 --> 00:54:01,440
Speaker 2: But sometimes you have to be the bad guy.

1156
00:54:01,440 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 3: And if you're the bad guy, want to stand up

1157
00:54:02,960 --> 00:54:04,799
Speaker 3: and say, Hey, this is the guy that's gonna lead

1158
00:54:04,880 --> 00:54:07,920
Speaker 3: us to the Promised Land. You stand on it, and

1159
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,280
Speaker 3: I think for the Titans looking at it from Afar.

1160
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 3: I would say that the general manager Mike Burgazi, who

1161
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:20,000
Speaker 3: comes over from Kansity Chiefs, the president Jad Brinker, who

1162
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:21,839
Speaker 3: has been there has been elevated to.

1163
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 2: A huge president of football ops role.

1164
00:54:24,400 --> 00:54:27,759
Speaker 3: I believe they're more likely to make the choice with

1165
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,279
Speaker 3: a little consultation from Brian Callahan than Brian Callahan making

1166
00:54:31,320 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: the choice, because remember, Brian Callahan is new. He wasn't

1167
00:54:34,200 --> 00:54:38,280
Speaker 3: hired necessarily by the new regime, so his voice won't

1168
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,759
Speaker 3: have significance when it comes to how they believe this

1169
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:43,320
Speaker 3: team should be in five ten years.

1170
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:44,760
Speaker 2: They can make the decision.

1171
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 3: Best long term and that may or may not include

1172
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 3: Callahan and his thoughts.

1173
00:54:49,800 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 1: You know. And I'm glad to see the owners are

1174
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: not meddling, because even in New York with mister Mara,

1175
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:59,799
Speaker 1: he really loved Saquon Barkley. He didn't want Sequon to go,

1176
00:55:00,239 --> 00:55:03,520
Speaker 1: but he let his general manager and coaching staff do

1177
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,760
Speaker 1: what they wanted to do. But I think he really

1178
00:55:05,880 --> 00:55:08,239
Speaker 1: really wanted Sick want to stay with the Giants, but

1179
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: he didn't want to meddle, and I respect him for that,

1180
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:12,439
Speaker 1: but I wish he would have stayed in New York.

1181
00:55:12,480 --> 00:55:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure he wished he would have stayed in New

1182
00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:14,319
Speaker 1: York too.

1183
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,000
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, Like it's funny, like we don't want them

1184
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 3: to meddle, But if it's your team, if it's your house,

1185
00:55:21,880 --> 00:55:24,520
Speaker 3: so you're gonna let someone else make final decisions on

1186
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:30,320
Speaker 3: your house? Probably not, And it's a situation. Lagmarra stayed

1187
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 3: out of it, but he made his opinion note and

1188
00:55:32,120 --> 00:55:34,239
Speaker 3: he was right. And so that puts a lot of

1189
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,200
Speaker 3: pressure on people, like when you go against the grain,

1190
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 3: when you go against ownership's wishes, you better get it

1191
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 3: right because if you don't get it right, you can

1192
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 3: be on the sideline. But I do respect the fact

1193
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:46,760
Speaker 3: that he trusted his football people to get it done.

1194
00:55:47,000 --> 00:55:48,719
Speaker 2: It just didn't work out, right.

1195
00:55:48,800 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 1: I gotta believe there's two strikes against the coaching staff

1196
00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 1: and the general manager right now in New York because

1197
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,400
Speaker 1: I'm the Saquon Barkley didn't help. That move did not

1198
00:55:56,440 --> 00:55:58,799
Speaker 1: help them whatsoever. Not only did they lose him, but

1199
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,840
Speaker 1: they lost him that to play twice in the same division.

1200
00:56:01,960 --> 00:56:03,799
Speaker 1: That was bad. That was real bad.

1201
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it was terrible. I mean it

1202
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:08,680
Speaker 2: was terrible. It's bad.

1203
00:56:08,680 --> 00:56:10,799
Speaker 3: It's the worst scenario that the New York Jazz could

1204
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 3: ever envisioned. They're not only lost to the Eagles twice,

1205
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,879
Speaker 3: they watched their division rival go to her Super Bowl.

1206
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 3: They watched their favorite player, the player that the owner

1207
00:56:22,400 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: was adamant about trying to keep. They watched him play

1208
00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:28,480
Speaker 3: at the MVP level and go over two thousand yards.

1209
00:56:28,719 --> 00:56:31,399
Speaker 3: I mean that is that is the trifecta and bad

1210
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 3: when it comes to dealing with ownership.

1211
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,320
Speaker 2: I mean not not great, not great at all. Unreal.

1212
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: All right, we got the second pick right now, and

1213
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: that's the Cleveland Browns, and you say Shudoor Sanders, so

1214
00:56:43,080 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: basically that that leaves out the defensive players. But I guess,

1215
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:49,440
Speaker 1: and I hope he does go to Cleveland because I'll

1216
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 1: see him twice coming to Cincinnati. But Stefanski says, uh,

1217
00:56:53,920 --> 00:56:56,760
Speaker 1: he's worked well with pocket passes. He's a pocket passer.

1218
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: Shoulder Sanders number two right now, going to the Cleveland Browns.

1219
00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:03,320
Speaker 1: You see that, right? What made you make that cousion?

1220
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 3: Well, here's why, and here's what few people talk about,

1221
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,359
Speaker 3: because you talked about Kirk Cousins in Minnesota in that

1222
00:57:09,400 --> 00:57:12,520
Speaker 3: relationship with Kevin Stefanski. But you got to remember Kevin

1223
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 3: Stefanski was a quarterback coach in Minnesota.

1224
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:16,240
Speaker 2: Under Pat Shermer.

1225
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 3: Pat Shermer is currently the offensive coordinator at Colorado. So

1226
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 3: if anybody knows anything about Sherdur Sanders, it'd be Cleveland

1227
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:29,560
Speaker 3: Browns and Kevin Stefanski. And because deepnen Kafanski is resuming

1228
00:57:30,200 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 3: play calling duties, he certainly can talk to I'll assume this,

1229
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:37,120
Speaker 3: and this is loosely assuming one of his mentors about

1230
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:38,680
Speaker 3: how to get the best out of a young.

1231
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:40,280
Speaker 2: Quarterback right away.

1232
00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,600
Speaker 3: So the reason why I put Shador Sanda is what

1233
00:57:42,640 --> 00:57:43,320
Speaker 3: the Browns is.

1234
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 2: Man. This dude is going to know everything about the quarterback.

1235
00:57:46,600 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 3: And so if they're going to take a quarterback, Shadur

1236
00:57:50,160 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 3: Sanders appears to be the one. If Cam Wore's not there,

1237
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,000
Speaker 3: he would appear to be the one because he would

1238
00:57:55,000 --> 00:57:57,200
Speaker 3: be the one that they have the most intel on

1239
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:58,680
Speaker 3: in the draft class.

1240
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, you brought up something very very interesting right

1241
00:58:01,440 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 1: there that Fancy calls the place us the head coach.

1242
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 1: Zach Taylor does that as well, and Zach Taylor does

1243
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: it from the sidelines as the Stefanski A two pot question.

1244
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: A is an advantage to call plays from the booth upstairs.

1245
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,800
Speaker 1: We have a better view of the field and look

1246
00:58:17,800 --> 00:58:21,000
Speaker 1: at the defense how they're lining up. And B is

1247
00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 1: it too much for the head coach to be calling

1248
00:58:22,760 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 1: the plays? Should he leave that to the offensive coordinator.

1249
00:58:29,000 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 2: I'll say, let's answer the reverse.

1250
00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 3: It is very difficult for young head coach to also

1251
00:58:33,960 --> 00:58:37,200
Speaker 3: be the play caller. It can be done, but it

1252
00:58:37,240 --> 00:58:39,720
Speaker 3: requires a lot of organization when it comes to how

1253
00:58:39,760 --> 00:58:43,120
Speaker 3: you delegate things on your staff. Typically, if you're an

1254
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,120
Speaker 3: offensive minded head coach that's the play caller, you then

1255
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:51,560
Speaker 3: need a an experienced defensive coordinator to basically be the

1256
00:58:51,560 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 3: head coach of that side.

1257
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: Me and amen, you're in charge of the defense. Handle

1258
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 2: that run the big things by me.

1259
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:00,479
Speaker 3: But I need you to really handle all that stuff

1260
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:03,320
Speaker 3: so I can focus on the offense and the overall

1261
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:05,920
Speaker 3: management of the team. So it's really important that the

1262
00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,920
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator high is big if you're going to handle

1263
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 3: all the duties. It's a lot to manage the team

1264
00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:15,480
Speaker 3: and call plays on game day. It requires the village

1265
00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 3: to be able to do it effectively. And that offensive

1266
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 3: coordinator who works up under you but doesn't call the place,

1267
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:25,000
Speaker 3: his job is to install the offense, make things happen

1268
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 3: in practice, organize the scripts, get all that stuff together,

1269
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:30,240
Speaker 3: and then you kind of come in and out because

1270
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 3: remember you're still responsible for the entire team. As relates

1271
00:59:34,320 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 3: to being on the sideline and up in the booth,

1272
00:59:36,920 --> 00:59:39,840
Speaker 3: and that depends on field and flavor. Some guys like

1273
00:59:39,880 --> 00:59:41,840
Speaker 3: to be up in the booth because it's quiet, it's

1274
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:42,840
Speaker 3: a sterile environment.

1275
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,320
Speaker 2: You can see the field and you.

1276
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 3: Can kind of lock in and focus, put all your

1277
00:59:47,080 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 3: papers out, all your notes, all that stuff out there.

1278
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:53,520
Speaker 3: When you're on the field, you want to be on

1279
00:59:53,560 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 3: the field because you want to have a better kind

1280
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:58,000
Speaker 3: of understanding.

1281
00:59:57,560 --> 00:59:59,120
Speaker 2: Of the field and flow of the game.

1282
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 3: You want to be able to we have conversations with

1283
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 3: players as they're coming off the field or on the sideline,

1284
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,360
Speaker 3: in between defensive series and in those things. That's the

1285
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 3: advantage of being on the field. But it really comes

1286
01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 3: down to the flavor. But if you're the head coach,

1287
01:00:13,720 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 3: heair coach can't be in the booth. Hair coach has

1288
01:00:15,920 --> 01:00:17,439
Speaker 3: to be on the field because there's so many things

1289
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:18,240
Speaker 3: that you have to answer.

1290
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:18,840
Speaker 2: There.

1291
01:00:18,880 --> 01:00:20,600
Speaker 1: You go, all right, you answered that for me, and

1292
01:00:20,640 --> 01:00:22,960

01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,720
Speaker 1: we are live from the tire Rap dot Com studios.

1320
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 1: You know, Mighty Mark, our technical producer, came to me

1321
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,560
Speaker 1: during this break, Bucky, and he gave a very very

1322
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: interesting insight. Baseball started this week, all right, And in

1323
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 1: Cincinnati it's kind of like a national holiday. In most

1324
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:55,320
Speaker 1: cities they have ticket tap parades after teams win championships.

1325
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: In Cincinnati they have a parade before. They had a

1326
01:01:57,840 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 1: big parade on Thursday, Opening Day, tremendous. I mean, the crowd,

1327
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: no one went to school, everything is shut down. And

1328
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 1: he wants to know why we're still talking football and

1329
01:02:07,280 --> 01:02:09,479
Speaker 1: not a lot of baseball. And you know, he brings

1330
01:02:09,560 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 1: up an interesting point because I just think that football

1331
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,600
Speaker 1: moves the needle. Football is the sport of sports. People

1332
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 1: love football, and there's always something going on with the

1333
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:20,640
Speaker 1: draft right down the road and the gambling. I expect

1334
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:24,400
Speaker 1: there's so much interest in football where baseball maybe too long.

1335
01:02:24,480 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. Big game yesterday Yankees at nine home runs.

1336
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 1: But is there any reason in your mind why baseball

1337
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:33,440
Speaker 1: is going to still be pushed to the side. People

1338
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 1: wait for the season to start and they're not talking baseball.

1339
01:02:38,600 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 2: Just because there's so many things going on right now.

1340
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:46,280
Speaker 2: All right. So you have March madness, which commands.

1341
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,520
Speaker 3: A lot of attention. There are a lot of people there.

1342
01:02:47,640 --> 01:02:50,360
Speaker 3: Some of that has to do a gambling interest. You

1343
01:02:50,360 --> 01:02:53,680
Speaker 3: have the NFL Draft ramping up because it's a month away.

1344
01:02:53,760 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 3: In the NFL is king and it's a slow transition

1345
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:02,480
Speaker 3: to baseball. It's still I mean, we haven't got the

1346
01:03:02,520 --> 01:03:03,120
Speaker 3: April yet.

1347
01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:03,919
Speaker 2: We're almost there.

1348
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,959
Speaker 3: Opening Day just took place, But it's such a long

1349
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 3: sleep season that I think many of us, including myself

1350
01:03:10,200 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 3: a huge Dodger fan, I know I can ease into baseball.

1351
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,960
Speaker 3: There's no need for me to rush fandom. There one

1352
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two games. If I'm behind five, six,

1353
01:03:20,960 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 3: seven games, I'll catch up. I can look at the

1354
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,240
Speaker 3: standings and catch up. I think that's what it is.

1355
01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:29,439
Speaker 3: Everyone understands it's a marathon, not a sprint. That's why

1356
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:31,680
Speaker 3: they're kind of slow to come over too.

1357
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:34,560
Speaker 1: All right, I agree, you always make a great point.

1358
01:03:34,600 --> 01:03:37,160
Speaker 1: You missed a common sense, you really are and I

1359
01:03:37,440 --> 01:03:39,720
Speaker 1: gotta I gotta tell you you better sit down for

1360
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,480
Speaker 1: this one. And when I heard about this yesterday, I

1361
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:47,960
Speaker 1: couldn't believe it. Wolf Fraser Clyde birthday eighty years old?

1362
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,240
Speaker 1: Can you believe it? Wolf Fraser is eighty live? That's

1363
01:03:52,640 --> 01:03:55,600
Speaker 1: that's scary, I mean it really, I mean wow, I

1364
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,720
Speaker 1: just want to let you know Wolf Fraser's eighty. I

1365
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:00,880
Speaker 1: mean Clyde playing for the Knicks with something else. But

1366
01:04:01,160 --> 01:04:03,479
Speaker 1: we move on, all right. I just want to finish

1367
01:04:03,560 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 1: up over at least I want to get the first

1368
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 1: five picks in your mock draft. And we got the

1369
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: first two. We've got cam Ward Tennessee shoulder standard for Cleveland.

1370
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,360
Speaker 1: We're going to the New York Football Giants, and you

1371
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:17,959
Speaker 1: picked Travis Hunter. All right. A great situation for Travis Hunter.

1372
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 1: When does he play? He's a two way guy at Colorado.

1373
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:24,439
Speaker 1: Where would he could he play both ways in the NFL?

1374
01:04:25,840 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 2: H I think he can play both ways. You know.

1375
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:33,520
Speaker 3: It's interesting because I viewed him as a defensive player first,

1376
01:04:33,520 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 3: wide receiver second. However, after talking to a lot of

1377
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 3: people around Colorado. They believe that he might be more

1378
01:04:41,040 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 3: of a offensive player than defensive player. That if you

1379
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 3: ask him and give him his brothers, he's always going

1380
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:50,440
Speaker 3: to kind of lean towards look playing on the offense

1381
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 3: and doing some things where he can touch the ball

1382
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:54,560
Speaker 3: and be an impact player in that regard.

1383
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 2: So I get that. I think you can do both,

1384
01:04:58,560 --> 01:04:59,920
Speaker 2: and I think it's easy to do both.

1385
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,960
Speaker 3: If he plays wide receiver full time, it seeds to

1386
01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 3: make him a nickel or a dime defender comes in

1387
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:09,600
Speaker 3: on your sub packages, meaning you're passing down. It's when

1388
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 3: you're putting five and six dbs on the field. He

1389
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 3: can come in and play that role. But I also

1390
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:17,880
Speaker 3: think he could work in reverse. I think he could

1391
01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,440
Speaker 3: be your full time starter at corner and come and

1392
01:05:20,480 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 3: play a role in your spread receiver says as your

1393
01:05:23,520 --> 01:05:27,960
Speaker 3: wide receiver three, wide receiver four. To me, it is

1394
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 3: one of those situations where you really got to know

1395
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 3: the kid and you got to ask him hard questions like, look,

1396
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 3: I know you want to be a two way player,

1397
01:05:34,200 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 3: but if we could just pick one for you to start,

1398
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:38,160
Speaker 3: where would you go?

1399
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:39,440
Speaker 2: And then kind of lean off of that.

1400
01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:42,640
Speaker 3: The guy won the Politanikoff Award as the best wide

1401
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,200
Speaker 3: receiver in college football.

1402
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 2: But here I am talking about man.

1403
01:05:46,200 --> 01:05:49,640
Speaker 3: His best position is defensive back. Maybe we go to

1404
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 3: him and ask him how he sees himself playing and.

1405
01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:55,400
Speaker 2: What he would like to do, and then kind of

1406
01:05:55,400 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 2: build the plan out from that.

1407
01:05:57,080 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 3: I wouldn't play him full time both ways because that

1408
01:06:00,040 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 3: would be taxing, But there's certainly a way to put

1409
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,560
Speaker 3: him on the field and allow him to play both

1410
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,880
Speaker 3: without worrying him out all right.

1411
01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,360
Speaker 1: Now, with the signing of Russell Wilson with the Giants,

1412
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,320
Speaker 1: even if a quarterback is available, that they skip over

1413
01:06:12,360 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 1: that quarterback and they still stick with Travis Hunter in

1414
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:15,480
Speaker 1: your mind.

1415
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,680
Speaker 3: See, now, that's a tough one, right And the reason

1416
01:06:19,760 --> 01:06:22,880
Speaker 3: why it's tough. You're Brian dave On, You're Joe Shane.

1417
01:06:22,880 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 3: You got to win right now, you know, and we

1418
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 3: can talk about like, yeah, you want to do the

1419
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 3: best and right now, I don't get a chance to

1420
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 3: talk about the future unless I find a way to

1421
01:06:34,560 --> 01:06:36,720
Speaker 3: win enough games to ensure that I'm a part of

1422
01:06:36,760 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 3: the team and the franchise for the future. Travis Hunter

1423
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 3: or a regular position player might give you the opportunity

1424
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 3: to do that and to do that right away. So

1425
01:06:45,880 --> 01:06:47,640
Speaker 3: a lot of it depends on how you rank the

1426
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,080
Speaker 3: quarterback in comparison to what could be two really good

1427
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:56,520
Speaker 3: non quarterback players in Travis Hunter, Nmdual Carter whicheveryone carries

1428
01:06:56,520 --> 01:07:00,200
Speaker 3: the bigger grade. You can go that route if you

1429
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 3: just say we're gonna take the best de Beilable player

1430
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 3: and we're not going to force the need to secure

1431
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:05,560
Speaker 3: the quarterback position.

1432
01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Okay, you're talking about the edge rusher, ab Duel Carter,

1433
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 1: and that's the number five pick, and that's going to

1434
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: be with the Patriots. And I'm not surprised with Mike

1435
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,520
Speaker 1: Vrabel at defensive minded guy, he probably puts his stamp

1436
01:07:15,560 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: on that big time. Abdul Carter going to the Patriots

1437
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:19,120
Speaker 1: at five, right.

1438
01:07:21,160 --> 01:07:24,040
Speaker 2: Well, I mean I would think so. I mean, we

1439
01:07:24,080 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: talked about the division, We talked.

1440
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,600
Speaker 3: About the quarterback playing the AFC, and the only way

1441
01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:29,200
Speaker 3: to slow down.

1442
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Quarterback plays you gotta knock him down.

1443
01:07:30,360 --> 01:07:32,160
Speaker 3: Got to knock them down with multiple pass rushers, so

1444
01:07:32,160 --> 01:07:34,880
Speaker 3: you can rush for and play with seven and coverage.

1445
01:07:35,240 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 3: Abdul Carter with joint with team with Harold Andry similar

1446
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 3: skill sets in terms of being more finesse type pass

1447
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:44,439
Speaker 3: rushers coming off the edge, but we give them an

1448
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 3: impact player immediately on the edges.

1449
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 2: That's it. You got a young quarterback in Drake.

1450
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,640
Speaker 3: May you think about the weapons, the firepower, how you

1451
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 3: can upgrade that?

1452
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,120
Speaker 2: That would lead you to bleep man.

1453
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,360
Speaker 3: I would love to get a playmaker here, But if

1454
01:07:57,400 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 3: Travis hunters off the board, I think the best player

1455
01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 3: by at this point would be a bull Carter.

1456
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:03,600
Speaker 1: All right, I was gonna do a top five, But

1457
01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 1: since you're involved with Jacksonville and the Jaguars, let's do

1458
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 1: number six. And you got Mason Graham. Now you've got

1459
01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,320
Speaker 1: some inside information. I would think, right, do you have

1460
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,800
Speaker 1: any idea what they're going, what direction they're going, and

1461
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: how does it work. Are you involved in the war

1462
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:19,120
Speaker 1: room that they are the draft with them?

1463
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:21,920
Speaker 2: No, I'm not involved in the war room.

1464
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 3: I'll be doing coverage on the NFL network. I don't

1465
01:08:24,560 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 3: have inside information. If I did have inside information, I

1466
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:30,280
Speaker 3: certainly would have shared it right now when the public

1467
01:08:30,320 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 3: so everyone would know what they're doing. They would mess

1468
01:08:33,120 --> 01:08:37,040
Speaker 3: up potentially their plans. I'll say this, Look, they need

1469
01:08:37,040 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 3: someone on the inside that can impact the game. A

1470
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:43,880
Speaker 3: defensive tackle that can command some significant attention to allow

1471
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:47,519
Speaker 3: Josh e hanz Allen and Trayvon Walker to continue to

1472
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:48,920
Speaker 3: erast quarterbacks off the edge.

1473
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 2: And until they get that fixed.

1474
01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:51,800
Speaker 3: On the inside, it's gonna be harder for the guys

1475
01:08:51,800 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 3: on the outside to go to work. If there was

1476
01:08:56,560 --> 01:08:59,360
Speaker 3: like an offensive playmaker that could really make a difference

1477
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 3: that could help them, like a wide receiver, that would

1478
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:02,599
Speaker 3: be something.

1479
01:09:04,040 --> 01:09:05,000
Speaker 2: But you know, I think.

1480
01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 3: Defensive tackle is probably the way they lean where they go, and.

1481
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:11,879
Speaker 1: That's Mason Graham, the junior defensive tackle for Michigan.

1482
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a great player, man.

1483
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:19,080
Speaker 3: He's he is a low leverage player, high school wrestler,

1484
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 3: has some some some nastiness, some grit, he has some

1485
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:26,320
Speaker 3: some some toughness that you can't find, and he's a

1486
01:09:26,439 --> 01:09:29,479
Speaker 3: very talented and technical guy at the point of attack.

1487
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 3: Those things typically lead to success. Even though you're going

1488
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:33,920
Speaker 3: to him the run up.

1489
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:37,120
Speaker 2: To the draft about uh, size, arm.

1490
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:42,640
Speaker 3: Length and those things doesn't really show up enough to

1491
01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 3: make it a problem or concern. Uh.

1492
01:09:46,720 --> 01:09:48,160
Speaker 2: He just is one of those non.

1493
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:51,160
Speaker 3: Prototypical guys that is a really good football player.

1494
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 2: And to me, UH, you tend to lean to.

1495
01:09:56,880 --> 01:09:59,040
Speaker 3: Those guys because they tend to have a lot of

1496
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:01,599
Speaker 3: success when they're given a chance to play in the league.

1497
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:04,679
Speaker 3: This dude plays hard, he's all day suck, he's always active,

1498
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:08,400
Speaker 3: and he's what I call a culture changer. He comes

1499
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:11,519
Speaker 3: in with his no nonsense approach. He's working like attitude.

1500
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:13,360
Speaker 2: He's going to impact the way the rest of your

1501
01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: team gets Now.

1502
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 1: All right, now, here are the big questions right now.

1503
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:19,519
Speaker 1: And I appreciate your mock draft. I'm sure you'll have

1504
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 1: another one before the draft is in a couple of weeks.

1505
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,479
Speaker 1: But you know, we got the first six picks and

1506
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 1: we'll keep him in there to see how how correct

1507
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:28,200
Speaker 1: or incorrect you are. I'm sure you're pretty spot on

1508
01:10:28,200 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: on those. However, the question is, and I don't think

1509
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:34,240
Speaker 1: many people address this, the veteran quarterbacks moving around the

1510
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:37,719
Speaker 1: college or around the pros on the carousel. How would

1511
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 1: they mesh with their new offense? That's the question right now.

1512
01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,600
Speaker 1: It's great to see a quarterback jump from teammate to

1513
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:46,320
Speaker 1: TB team B, but will they will they do well?

1514
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:48,559
Speaker 1: Can they fit in there? And let's let's look at

1515
01:10:48,560 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 1: some of these quarterbacks and one of them, Gino Smith

1516
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 1: leaving Seattle going to the Raiders. He could perhaps have

1517
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: with the Raiders a career year. Maybe, I don't know.

1518
01:10:58,280 --> 01:11:01,040
Speaker 1: New offensive coordinated right there, that chip Kelly going in

1519
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 1: to the Raiders now, is he with them?

1520
01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, chip Kelly is with him.

1521
01:11:06,680 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 1: He didn't have a lot of success the last time in.

1522
01:11:08,880 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 2: The NFL, so right.

1523
01:11:11,560 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he has I will say this, the relationship between

1524
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:16,440
Speaker 3: Pete Carroll.

1525
01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:18,400
Speaker 2: And Gino Smith is when it matters more than the.

1526
01:11:18,520 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 3: Play caller, because Pete Carroll's gonna walk into the meeting

1527
01:11:21,439 --> 01:11:25,360
Speaker 3: room until the offensive coordinator. Here's what this guy does, well,

1528
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,040
Speaker 3: this is what he did really well for us. I

1529
01:11:27,160 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 3: want him to play. I want this offense to play

1530
01:11:30,920 --> 01:11:34,519
Speaker 3: in this manner, and he lays it out very clearly,

1531
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 3: sets out what he wants to see from the offense.

1532
01:11:38,479 --> 01:11:41,080
Speaker 3: Then it's on the coordinator to make it happen while

1533
01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:44,679
Speaker 3: building around Gino Smith's talent. So yeah, I mean that's

1534
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 3: I mean, that's that's that's easy money. That's that's one

1535
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,200
Speaker 3: of the more ideal fits when it comes to the

1536
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:51,120
Speaker 3: musical chairs.

1537
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So all Gino Smith needs is it up above

1538
01:11:54,439 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 1: average offensive line that could protect him for passing, run

1539
01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:01,040
Speaker 1: block for him and he could have a darn good year.

1540
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,760
Speaker 1: But how difficult is it for one guy going from

1541
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:06,479
Speaker 1: one team to another to learn on new offense, with

1542
01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:08,839
Speaker 1: new coaching and things like that. I mean, it's difficult

1543
01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 1: that we see when a quarterback stays on one team

1544
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,120
Speaker 1: and they're switching coaches. This guy's going to another team

1545
01:12:14,120 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: with different personnel, with different coaches.

1546
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:20,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like all of that stuff matters. Personnel matters,

1547
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 3: play call it matter. You got to have all the

1548
01:12:23,200 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 3: right things to be at your best, and it's really

1549
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:29,439
Speaker 3: important that you make decisions with that in mind. And

1550
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:33,280
Speaker 3: as we're evaluating situations and scenarios, how does the play

1551
01:12:33,320 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 3: caller fit the player, How does the people around him

1552
01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,679
Speaker 3: elevate him or does he have the ability to elevate them.

1553
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 3: All of those things are factors and considerations. And with quarterbacks,

1554
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 3: because you're a forced multiplier, it is really important that

1555
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 3: you're able to connect the dots and see how the

1556
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 3: pieces of the puzzler really fit together and how they're

1557
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:54,719
Speaker 3: gonna fit together going forward.

1558
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:57,320
Speaker 1: Okay, let's talk about that puzzle right now, because you know,

1559
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 1: Smith leaves Seattle, goes to the Raiders, and the Seahawks

1560
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,519
Speaker 1: didn't waste any time they got Sam Donald. And I

1561
01:13:02,560 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 1: think that Sam Donald's gonna struggled with the Seahawks. Why

1562
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,120
Speaker 1: is that he had the best possible situation a quarterback

1563
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:10,759
Speaker 1: in Minnesota with the Vikings. They had two top tackles

1564
01:13:10,800 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: whether Darris saw and O'Neill. They had great receiver and

1565
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:18,960
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson. They had Aaron Jones, TJ. Howkinson, Jordan Adison.

1566
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,160
Speaker 1: He didn't have that in Seattle. Right now, I think

1567
01:13:21,200 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 1: as good as he was last year in Minnesota, he's

1568
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,080
Speaker 1: gonna struggle in Seattle.

1569
01:13:26,560 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 3: Potentially he can struggle. He doesn't have what he had

1570
01:13:30,680 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 3: in Minnesota. He not only doesn't have Justin Jefferson, Jordanaison, TJ. Hockinson,

1571
01:13:36,200 --> 01:13:39,240
Speaker 3: he doesn't have Kevin O'Connor. Kevin O'Connor has made.

1572
01:13:39,160 --> 01:13:41,280
Speaker 2: It work for everybody, made the game very, very easy

1573
01:13:41,320 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 2: for him.

1574
01:13:41,960 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 3: And when you look at Sam Donald and you look

1575
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 3: at his career and you say, man, that's the only

1576
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,080
Speaker 3: year where he's really played really well. Can he replicate that? Well,

1577
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 3: how many of the same things does he have?

1578
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Have?

1579
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:57,400
Speaker 3: The Seattle sex afforded him to a Naghbor that the

1580
01:13:57,439 --> 01:14:01,240
Speaker 3: transition is smooth. Well, I loved Jackson Smith and Jigba.

1581
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:05,760
Speaker 3: He's nice, but they don't have a dominant number one

1582
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 3: receiver right now to anchor. Yeah, Cooper Cup comes over,

1583
01:14:08,240 --> 01:14:13,680
Speaker 3: but remember oft injured unavailable. Been three years since he's

1584
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 3: been available, like full time all the time. Can he

1585
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 3: kind of turn back to the clock and become the

1586
01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,160
Speaker 3: guy that was the triple crown winner? That's key because

1587
01:14:22,160 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 3: if he does, now you've got two route runners on

1588
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,880
Speaker 3: the perimeter. Running Game? Can you get the consistent part

1589
01:14:26,880 --> 01:14:29,240
Speaker 3: of the Running game? Aaron Jones is Aaron Jones.

1590
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 2: He's a really good player.

1591
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 3: Won't call him a great player, really really good. Can

1592
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 3: Seattle get that kind of production from the Running Game?

1593
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:39,799
Speaker 3: People like him walk? But can they get that consistent production,

1594
01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:44,720
Speaker 3: that persistent approach to allow Sam Donald to operate.

1595
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 2: On their pitch count?

1596
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:48,439
Speaker 3: I would say thirty passes a fewer that will help

1597
01:14:48,520 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 3: him mitigate the risks, help him stay in the concerts.

1598
01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I almost forgot. She had a lost to turnover

1599
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:58,080
Speaker 1: and receivers. DK Metcalf has gone and Tyler Locket's gone

1600
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:01,839
Speaker 1: as well. Released that hurt him too, We'll see.

1601
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:02,960
Speaker 2: It's interesting.

1602
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,760
Speaker 1: So as good as you are, a one team may

1603
01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:08,000
Speaker 1: not be the same when you take even your own

1604
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:10,919
Speaker 1: skill set to another team, as you say, the personnel

1605
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 1: is a very, very big factor. He's Bucky Brooks on

1628
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:20,680
Speaker 2: I think we need a ruling on this.

1629
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 1: It's yay or nay.

1630
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 4: That is right.

1631
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,479
Speaker 5: It is time to play yay or nay on this

1632
01:16:28,680 --> 01:16:32,719
Speaker 5: Sunday with Bucky and our other host mister and Day,

1633
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:37,679
Speaker 5: on this lovely day. All right, well, let's get into it, guys,

1634
01:16:37,720 --> 01:16:40,160
Speaker 5: So thank you my tay.

1635
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 2: Uh.

1636
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:45,800
Speaker 5: The first one we cut is so Pacers scoring one

1637
01:16:45,920 --> 01:16:49,480
Speaker 5: hundred and sixty two points this last Thursday against the Wizards.

1638
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,320
Speaker 4: Is this healthy for the league?

1639
01:16:51,600 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 2: Yay or nay?

1640
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:54,759
Speaker 4: Andy Furman, I don't.

1641
01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 1: Think it's healthy for the league, but it's healthy for

1642
01:16:56,680 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 1: fans because I love it. I'll tell you why. You

1643
01:16:58,600 --> 01:17:00,599
Speaker 1: go to a game like that. You just your head's

1644
01:17:00,600 --> 01:17:03,760
Speaker 1: dizzy from spinning around watching these baskets go through. But

1645
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: I love that for the league. I don't think there's

1646
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:07,840
Speaker 1: not healthy. You gotta you gotta control a little bit

1647
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: of defense out there. But for the league. No, for fans.

1648
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 2: Yay, Oh, I think he's great. I think he's great.

1649
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 3: Anytime you have an opportunity to put up points, it

1650
01:17:17,720 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 3: makes it for a more exciting game, however it is.

1651
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:22,639
Speaker 3: And so putting up one hundred and sixty points, man,

1652
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,000
Speaker 3: that's exciting to watch, and that ultimately makes them league better. Remember,

1653
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:28,679
Speaker 3: the league is about not only competition but entertainment.

1654
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 2: That was a very entertaining thing to watch.

1655
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,640
Speaker 5: Well, speaking of entertainment, Bucky, we got our next one here.

1656
01:17:33,880 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 5: So Saint John's star r J. Lewis is entering the

1657
01:17:37,439 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 5: NBA Draft. Certainly not a good thing for Saint John's.

1658
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,440
Speaker 5: But what about for college basketball?

1659
01:17:42,680 --> 01:17:43,439
Speaker 4: Yay or nay?

1660
01:17:43,600 --> 01:17:49,719
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks, I think it's Look, I think it's good.

1661
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 2: Like everyone should pursue their things.

1662
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,480
Speaker 3: I think the way that he played was very indicative

1663
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 3: of someone who was going into the draft. So yeah, like, look,

1664
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 3: players you have the freedom to pursue what they want

1665
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 3: to pursue, and at a coach you just have to

1666
01:18:00,840 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 3: adjust to it. So, look, it's good for basketball because

1667
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 3: guys are getting to do what they want to do.

1668
01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: I say nay for college basketball, but yay for r J. Becaues. Look,

1669
01:18:08,640 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: you can risk an injury because he's gonna make some

1670
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 1: big bucks. He was a player of the Year in

1671
01:18:13,200 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 1: the Big East Conference, So let him go college basketball

1672
01:18:16,080 --> 01:18:18,200
Speaker 1: and ay because you want to see how this guy go.

1673
01:18:18,280 --> 01:18:20,679
Speaker 1: He's going to follow his career. But do be others,

1674
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:22,559
Speaker 1: Debbie others. That's the way it is. He's not the

1675
01:18:22,600 --> 01:18:25,599
Speaker 1: first to do this, So you're yay for him, nay

1676
01:18:25,640 --> 01:18:26,680
Speaker 1: for college basketball.

1677
01:18:27,360 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 5: Well, speaking of college we're gonna go over here for

1678
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,080
Speaker 5: something different with football. So the nc Double A Committee

1679
01:18:34,160 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 5: has denied the Colorado versus Syracuse spring game.

1680
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 4: Yay or nay? Andy Furman, nay.

1681
01:18:40,600 --> 01:18:42,920
Speaker 1: I want her to see that. You know, people love

1682
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,759
Speaker 1: college football. Why are you doing this to the public.

1683
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,480
Speaker 1: It's a great way to promote it and get exposure.

1684
01:18:48,840 --> 01:18:51,640
Speaker 1: Why it's the dumbest thing in the world. Dion was

1685
01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,679
Speaker 1: smart enough to say, let's do this game. He calls

1686
01:18:53,760 --> 01:18:57,040
Speaker 1: up Syracuse. But the point is NCUBA. Once again, whatever

1687
01:18:57,080 --> 01:18:59,840
Speaker 1: they do, they take a step and step in do

1688
01:18:59,840 --> 01:19:01,120
Speaker 1: do that's what they do.

1689
01:19:03,080 --> 01:19:04,400
Speaker 2: I mean not great.

1690
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:07,240
Speaker 3: I think they blew a tremendous opportunity to really expand

1691
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 3: on something that will eventually be commonplace in football. You

1692
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 3: need to have a way to look invigorate college football.

1693
01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 3: But having spring game these jamber Ree practices would be good.

1694
01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:21,840
Speaker 3: I think at some point they have to do it,

1695
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:23,840
Speaker 3: but the NC Double A is always slow to act.

1696
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: In the future, though, we'll see this thing happen.

1697
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:29,320
Speaker 5: All right, Well, final say the yay or nay guys.

1698
01:19:29,520 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 5: MLB Opening Day overlapped at the NC Double A Sweet

1699
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:35,720
Speaker 5: sixteen Yay or nay bucket.

1700
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,880
Speaker 2: Look not smart, I mean not smart. I mean you

1701
01:19:40,920 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 2: gotta read the room. Everyone is going to.

1702
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:44,879
Speaker 3: Be tuned in to March madness because of the brackets

1703
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 3: and those things.

1704
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:46,680
Speaker 2: They should have put it off.

1705
01:19:46,680 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 3: If we wait after the championship game, then the stage

1706
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 3: is theirs because there's nothing else that's going once college

1707
01:19:52,439 --> 01:19:54,880
Speaker 3: basketball is done. NBA is going, but it's not quite

1708
01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:57,120
Speaker 3: the playoffs. If they want to have center stage, wait

1709
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 3: after the tournament is done.

1710
01:19:59,320 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: Nay, what are you rushing for for? I remember when

1711
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 1: Major League Baseball started like by April tenth. Now that's

1712
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 1: starting in March. Why are you doing it the day

1713
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,439
Speaker 1: of the Sweet sixteen? I don't get it. Are you

1714
01:20:09,520 --> 01:20:12,920
Speaker 1: that stupid? It's nay, nay, nay nay, And now you

1731
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:03,960
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. All right, I'm good. And what's

1732
01:21:03,960 --> 01:21:07,160
Speaker 1: going on? You're doing great? You're the best, you really are, Okay,

1733
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:10,479
Speaker 1: Duke and Florida in the final four today Tennessee, Houston,

1734
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:13,479
Speaker 1: Michigan State Auburn and by the way, Tennessee is going

1735
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: to make its third Elite Eight appearance when they play

1736
01:21:16,520 --> 01:21:19,280
Speaker 1: Houston today. A chance to reach the final four for

1737
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,639
Speaker 1: the first time. For the first time. In twenty ten,

1738
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:26,479
Speaker 1: they lost the Elite A to Michigan State, and last year,

1739
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:31,080
Speaker 1: if you remember, the Volunteers lost to Purdue. And Rick Barnes,

1740
01:21:31,120 --> 01:21:32,760
Speaker 1: the coach of Tennessee, has been to the Final four

1741
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,519
Speaker 1: just once, in two thousand and three when he was

1742
01:21:35,560 --> 01:21:37,920
Speaker 1: the head coach of Texas. So that did you go,

1743
01:21:38,040 --> 01:21:41,600
Speaker 1: right there? So I think that basically today, I like

1744
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:44,840
Speaker 1: Houston winning and I want to see Michigan. Well, I

1745
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I love Tom Izzo, but I don't know

1746
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:49,280
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good game. That all burn Michigan

1747
01:21:49,320 --> 01:21:51,439
Speaker 1: State games are pretty good. That may be the game

1748
01:21:51,479 --> 01:21:51,920
Speaker 1: of the day.

1749
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, look, I anticipate great games.

1750
01:21:56,160 --> 01:21:57,960
Speaker 3: It's funny you bring up Rick Barnes and the fact

1751
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:00,200
Speaker 3: that he's only been to one final four. I think

1752
01:22:00,200 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 3: I'm going to the Final four is something that we

1753
01:22:02,040 --> 01:22:05,160
Speaker 3: take for granted, right me and particularly growing up a

1754
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:08,920
Speaker 3: lifelong tar Heel having watched Tuitar Hills go, I think

1755
01:22:08,920 --> 01:22:11,800
Speaker 3: they've gone to more final fours than anyone. Twenty one

1756
01:22:11,840 --> 01:22:14,760
Speaker 3: is I think where they stand at Duke is up there.

1757
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 3: I think Duke maybe third right now, with like either

1758
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:21,800
Speaker 3: seventeen or eighteen. But the accomplishment is getting to the

1759
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:25,280
Speaker 3: final four, and tom Izzo have an opportunity. I think

1760
01:22:25,320 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 3: he's been to five, maybe six final fours. The fact

1761
01:22:29,320 --> 01:22:31,640
Speaker 3: that Rick Barnes has only been to one, to me,

1762
01:22:31,760 --> 01:22:34,120
Speaker 3: is surprising because he is such a good coach. He's

1763
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 3: done such a good job with the programs that he's

1764
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:39,680
Speaker 3: been in charge of Clemson, then Texas and now Tennessee.

1765
01:22:40,520 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 2: He has those guys playing.

1766
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:45,360
Speaker 3: I watched them dismantled Tennessee on Friday night. This'd be

1767
01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 3: a interesting test, though, because the one thing I know

1768
01:22:47,240 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 3: about Tennessee is man they back down, no retreat, no

1769
01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 3: surrender from them.

1770
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:53,919
Speaker 2: And then Kevin Sampson.

1771
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 3: Kelvin Sampson one of the best coaches in college basketball.

1772
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,960
Speaker 3: His guys are built on toughness and how they go

1773
01:23:01,040 --> 01:23:04,760
Speaker 3: at it like this is one that's gonna be a knockdown,

1774
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:09,200
Speaker 3: drag out. Uh look, it's gonna be It's gonna be

1775
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 3: a braw is basical, gonna be a fistfight ninety four feet.

1776
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,320
Speaker 2: This is gonna be a really really good basketball game

1777
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 2: to watch.

1778
01:23:15,640 --> 01:23:19,800
Speaker 3: It may not be the ninety four ninety two shootout

1779
01:23:19,800 --> 01:23:23,639
Speaker 3: that we crave but it's going to be very contested,

1780
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 3: it should be should be fun to watch it.

1781
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: I can't wait, and I'm glad that there are normal

1782
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 1: hours I don't have to stay up real late for

1783
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,080
Speaker 1: these games. Today. It's just like an eastern time two

1784
01:23:32,240 --> 01:23:35,160
Speaker 1: twenty I think, and then one about five thirty Eastern times.

1785
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:37,519
Speaker 1: That's not bad. So it's a good thing. And it's

1786
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: a great day to be in because the weather's not

1787
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:41,400
Speaker 1: too good today. So I'll be doing that. By the way,

1788
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:44,200
Speaker 1: I got a question for everybody, not only for Bucky Brooks,

1789
01:23:44,200 --> 01:23:48,080
Speaker 1: but for Patty and a magical mark over there. I

1790
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: want to ask you, do you know what a tater

1791
01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,280
Speaker 1: todd is? Does anybody know what a tater todd is?

1792
01:23:53,640 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 2: Oh? Who doesn't know tator tots?

1793
01:23:56,080 --> 01:23:58,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I know what they look like. I've tasted them.

1794
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:01,040
Speaker 1: But could you give me like a death definition of

1795
01:24:01,120 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: a tato?

1796
01:24:01,600 --> 01:24:01,760
Speaker 2: Time?

1797
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:05,800
Speaker 1: What exactly it is? Small piece of potato? I mean,

1798
01:24:05,840 --> 01:24:07,960
Speaker 1: come on, that's that's like a break of a French

1799
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:09,839
Speaker 1: fry in head. That's a small piece of potato.

1800
01:24:11,200 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean basically it would it would almost

1801
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 3: be the nugget version of a fry.

1802
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 2: I mean, in a way it's like a it's like

1803
01:24:18,600 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 2: a mini.

1804
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 3: Balled up hash brown, like whatever hash brown is to you,

1805
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:26,559
Speaker 3: Uh just take it down and kind of uh squish

1806
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:30,040
Speaker 3: it down even smaller and and and change the shape.

1807
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:33,640
Speaker 3: It's basically just a bunch of little mini hashbrows.

1808
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:36,160
Speaker 1: If you want to get answer to a question, where

1809
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:37,640
Speaker 1: do you go to? You got a bucket? Brooks he

1810
01:24:37,680 --> 01:24:40,640
Speaker 1: knew first of all, Patty didn't even give it a

1811
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:45,200
Speaker 1: volunteer an answer. At least Mark tried okay, magical, Mark

1812
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:48,000
Speaker 1: try okay. But I looked at up. Tata touched a

1813
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: small cylindrical deep fried potato nuggets right and there, So

1814
01:24:52,040 --> 01:24:55,000
Speaker 1: there's a side dish. And why I bring that up?

1815
01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:58,960
Speaker 1: Because bring them Young University forward Richie Sonders. He told

1816
01:24:59,000 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: reporters he he wasn't the one to publicize the fact

1817
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:06,680
Speaker 1: that get this, His great grandfather F. Nephie Griggs was

1818
01:25:06,680 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: the inventor of Tata tots, but his secret was revealed

1819
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:14,040
Speaker 1: during this year's Big Twelve men's basketball tournament. And guess

1820
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 1: what it wasn't long after that was revealed or Ida

1821
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:21,360
Speaker 1: I brand potato based frozen products owned by Craft Hinds

1822
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,880
Speaker 1: that owns the trademark to the term Tata. Todd reached

1823
01:25:24,920 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 1: out the cylinders with an idea for the nil deal,

1824
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:30,639
Speaker 1: and he got one. I don't know how much cash

1825
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: he's getting, but look, if you got a grandfather that

1826
01:25:33,400 --> 01:25:35,559
Speaker 1: invented the Tata Todd and you got the company out there,

1827
01:25:35,560 --> 01:25:37,960
Speaker 1: it sells him. You got the Tata tots right now,

1828
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,280
Speaker 1: he's getting nil money for Tato tots. That's amazing, isn't it.

1829
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,519
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a sweet thing. Imagine what he could

1830
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,639
Speaker 3: have cast in on if you put that out there sooner.

1831
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, that's why you have to broadcast. He

1832
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,040
Speaker 3: put it out there. He got a nice little thing

1833
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:54,960
Speaker 3: on the horizon.

1834
01:25:55,160 --> 01:25:57,760
Speaker 2: I'm with it. I appreciate that. Nice job.

1835
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, there's gonna be other athletes right

1836
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:04,479
Speaker 1: now looking at their family trees seeing what their family

1837
01:26:04,520 --> 01:26:07,240
Speaker 1: tree is invented, if they invented anything at all. So

1838
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,600
Speaker 1: that's a good deal. That's a good story. That's a

1839
01:26:09,600 --> 01:26:11,880
Speaker 1: good Nil story. I like that. It's a good Nil

1840
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: story because it's a great fit. I love that. And

1841
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 1: speaking of great fits, we started talking about adapting and

1842
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,599
Speaker 1: adjusting to a new offense, and we talked about two

1843
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks moving on Geno Smith right now to the Raiders

1844
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 1: and Sam Donald right out to the Seahawks. There's two

1845
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: more I want to get into, and one of them

1846
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:32,080
Speaker 1: is Justin Fields. And I think the Jets are going

1847
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,080
Speaker 1: to have to adjust the Justin Field's game. Is that correct?

1848
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:35,960
Speaker 1: I believe they will.

1849
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1850
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:39,560
Speaker 3: I mean they are going to have to adjust to

1851
01:26:39,640 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 3: his game. He's a different type quarterback. He is an

1852
01:26:41,800 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 3: athletic quarterback, someone that has the ability to really impact.

1853
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:50,439
Speaker 2: The game with his legs. And when you.

1854
01:26:50,360 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 3: Have a quarterback like that, you want to make sure

1855
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:55,920
Speaker 3: that you building things that enhance what he always is

1856
01:26:55,960 --> 01:26:59,080
Speaker 3: able to do. And that means more design quarterback runs.

1857
01:26:59,080 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 3: That means encouraging him to utilize his legs when things

1858
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 3: are there, That means movement based passing game, all of

1859
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:05,360
Speaker 3: those things.

1860
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,560
Speaker 2: And it also means that the offensive.

1861
01:27:07,080 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 3: Line needs to be aware that he may not always

1862
01:27:09,880 --> 01:27:12,320
Speaker 3: line up and throw from the same spot in the pocket.

1863
01:27:12,400 --> 01:27:14,080
Speaker 3: You have to be numble, you have to be able

1864
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:17,200
Speaker 3: to adapt to the new quarterback that we have. But

1865
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 3: to me, this should be a great move for Justin Fields.

1866
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,800
Speaker 3: It should be a great move because maybe for the

1867
01:27:21,840 --> 01:27:24,320
Speaker 3: first time in his NFL life, he'll have someone that

1868
01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:27,240
Speaker 3: truly believes in him and his talents. He was hand

1869
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:28,719
Speaker 3: picked by the Jets to be their QB.

1870
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:29,040
Speaker 2: One.

1871
01:27:29,400 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 3: People to talk about, oh, they may take another quarterback

1872
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:34,280
Speaker 3: and maybe so, but what we do know is Aaron

1873
01:27:34,360 --> 01:27:37,880
Speaker 3: Glenn faced Justin Fields four or five times doing their

1874
01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 3: time together in the NFC North, and Justin Field has

1875
01:27:42,360 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 3: some monster games against them that led Aaron Glenn to

1876
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:49,080
Speaker 3: want to make him the quarterback. I am sure that

1877
01:27:49,120 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 3: he started the offensive coordinators and said, hey, I want

1878
01:27:52,240 --> 01:27:55,360
Speaker 3: this guy to play the way that he played against us,

1879
01:27:55,400 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 3: So find a way to build on an offense that

1880
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 3: allows him to be a dynamic threat. So I'm looking

1881
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,320
Speaker 3: forward to seeing how this plays out.

1882
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:05,599
Speaker 1: You know, you hit the run on the head because

1883
01:28:05,600 --> 01:28:07,959
Speaker 1: I just looked that up. In three games against Glenn

1884
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 1: when he was with the Bears, Justin Fields threw for

1885
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:12,960
Speaker 1: six thirty four yards, rushed for four hundred and forty

1886
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: one yards twelve point three yards per carry, and had

1887
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: eight total touchdowns with just two I iNTS. So I

1888
01:28:19,640 --> 01:28:23,560
Speaker 1: guess Glenn's saw firsthand right now how dangerous Justin Field's

1889
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 1: ability as a runner could be. And honestly, I think

1890
01:28:26,439 --> 01:28:28,840
Speaker 1: Field's ability to run, and the running game in New

1891
01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 1: York is not going to be too bad. They got

1892
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:33,160
Speaker 1: a pretty good offensive line right now. I think this

1893
01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:34,599
Speaker 1: is gonna be a pretty good move for the New

1894
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:36,439
Speaker 1: York Jets. I think they could do some damage. I

1895
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:36,920
Speaker 1: really do.

1896
01:28:38,439 --> 01:28:43,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, they should be able to create I would say

1897
01:28:43,240 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 3: some problems, and those problems from a defensive standpoint, she

1898
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 3: lead the bigger players. Remember, he has a number one

1899
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 3: receiver that's already established with him, Garrett Wilson, who was

1900
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 3: his teammate from Ohio State. They combined during the time

1901
01:28:56,120 --> 01:28:58,400
Speaker 3: in Ohio State for over eleven hundred receiving yards, so

1902
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:02,720
Speaker 3: that connection is solid. They'll add I'm sure tied it

1903
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:06,120
Speaker 3: in in the draft. They'll continue to upgrade.

1904
01:29:05,720 --> 01:29:06,599
Speaker 2: What they have on the perimeter.

1905
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 3: They got two good backs and Bredon Allen and Breesehault

1906
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:13,479
Speaker 3: that are really good. They should see their production spike

1907
01:29:13,600 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 3: because now the defense has to account for justin fields

1908
01:29:16,760 --> 01:29:19,519
Speaker 3: coming out the back door. For a defensive minded team,

1909
01:29:19,520 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 3: because remember head coach comes from defense at the ball,

1910
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:24,479
Speaker 3: He's always going to think about it from dad vantage point, Yeah,

1911
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:26,880
Speaker 3: this should be really good. Now, how far can they

1912
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:28,840
Speaker 3: go operating like this?

1913
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1914
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:32,560
Speaker 3: But I think it's a chance for Justin Fields to

1915
01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:36,080
Speaker 3: finally blossom and become I would say the start that

1916
01:29:36,200 --> 01:29:39,519
Speaker 3: some expected when he was a first round pick coming

1917
01:29:39,560 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 3: out of Ohio State.

1918
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:44,600
Speaker 1: Interesting. Okay, last, but not least obviously a quarterback. This

1919
01:29:44,680 --> 01:29:47,559
Speaker 1: could have to make some adjustments with a team as well.

1920
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:51,720
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones goes to the Indianapolis Colts and he was

1921
01:29:51,760 --> 01:29:54,200
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings, and I got to believe that

1922
01:29:54,240 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 1: the Vikings would have liked to have Jones back. But

1923
01:29:57,360 --> 01:30:00,519
Speaker 1: even if he had won that starting job at quarterback

1924
01:30:00,520 --> 01:30:02,760
Speaker 1: from JJ McCarthy, I think it would have been just

1925
01:30:02,800 --> 01:30:06,840
Speaker 1: a temporary band aid situation because the JJ McCarthy's that guy.

1926
01:30:06,880 --> 01:30:08,960
Speaker 1: They drafted him, although he's coming off that injury. I

1927
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: think they would have liked to have kept him. But

1928
01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 1: now there's going to be a quarterback battle I guess

1929
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 1: in Indianapolis with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. What happens

1930
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:19,680
Speaker 1: over there, Anthony Richardson's going to get all the opportunity

1931
01:30:19,720 --> 01:30:22,519
Speaker 1: to stop because why he was taken them before the

1932
01:30:22,560 --> 01:30:25,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three draft. And if they don't start these guys,

1933
01:30:25,280 --> 01:30:27,120
Speaker 1: I think it looks like they made a mistake. That's

1934
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:29,280
Speaker 1: why he's it to be given every opportunity to be

1935
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 1: the starter.

1936
01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they probably feel like they made a mistake

1937
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:37,280
Speaker 3: if they had to go out and get Daniel Jones right.

1938
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:39,720
Speaker 2: There wasn't a plan. So to me, Daniel Jones is

1939
01:30:39,720 --> 01:30:41,879
Speaker 2: in pole position more so than Anthony Richardson.

1940
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:46,320
Speaker 3: If Anthony Richardson had taken care of business, this never

1941
01:30:46,360 --> 01:30:50,040
Speaker 3: would have happened. So he has a longer road or

1942
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 3: bigger heel to climb to convince his coaches and teammates

1943
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:58,280
Speaker 3: that he's ready to be QB one. To me, Daniel

1944
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,880
Speaker 3: Jones just has to steady the ship, understand what he's

1945
01:31:00,920 --> 01:31:03,519
Speaker 3: doing in play, and when you look at the money,

1946
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:04,920
Speaker 3: because you're always going to follow the money.

1947
01:31:04,800 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 2: In these situations.

1948
01:31:06,200 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones ten thirteen million, he is making more money

1949
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:12,960
Speaker 3: than Anthony Richardson. That means he's going to get more

1950
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,839
Speaker 3: opportunities to be the QB one than Anthony Richardson.

1951
01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:18,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I read this and I maybe you can

1952
01:31:18,200 --> 01:31:21,759
Speaker 1: help me out here. Apparently, Daniel Jones has a career

1953
01:31:21,960 --> 01:31:26,400
Speaker 1: on target percentage of seventy six point six percent, which

1954
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 1: does not include spikes with throwaways. Seventy six percent of

1955
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,639
Speaker 1: better is considered very good. I never heard that stat

1956
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 1: before on target percentage. Have you heard that stat?

1957
01:31:35,600 --> 01:31:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm sure I never heard of it, But I mean,

1958
01:31:37,840 --> 01:31:40,479
Speaker 3: if it speaks to his accuracy, that is good. Because

1959
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 3: what we assume that we know about Daniel Jones is

1960
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:47,120
Speaker 3: that he's not a very good quarterback. That's that's the conversation, right,

1961
01:31:47,360 --> 01:31:50,120
Speaker 3: he was overpaid and those things. But if you go

1962
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,840
Speaker 3: back and look at how he played this his pre

1963
01:31:53,080 --> 01:31:55,640
Speaker 3: injury with Brian day Ball and they went to the

1964
01:31:55,640 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 3: playoffs that year, he had fifteen touchdowns, only five interceptions.

1965
01:31:58,840 --> 01:32:01,839
Speaker 3: Randa Ball made a bunch of plays with his legs.

1966
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,880
Speaker 3: He has that capability now, so on Shane Stikeen to

1967
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 3: build an offense that plays to his strengths. He was

1968
01:32:08,520 --> 01:32:12,720
Speaker 3: a mobile quarterback. He's a solid quarterback. Is he does

1969
01:32:12,720 --> 01:32:15,640
Speaker 3: he have the potential to be a premier guy? Probably not?

1970
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:17,800
Speaker 2: But can he be good enough for them to win

1971
01:32:18,200 --> 01:32:20,600
Speaker 2: with the talent that they have around him? Absolutely?

1972
01:32:21,280 --> 01:32:23,760
Speaker 3: And that's what the Coasts were like, Man, they just

1973
01:32:23,760 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 3: want someone who's going to be available for all seventeen games,

1974
01:32:26,960 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 3: who's going to be not only the professional that you expect,

1975
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:32,720
Speaker 3: but the leader that you expect from a QB one

1976
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 3: and if he becomes an extension of the coach on

1977
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:40,479
Speaker 3: the field, conveying messages, leading the team, challenging when he

1978
01:32:40,520 --> 01:32:42,920
Speaker 3: needs to challenge, well, then you've checked off all the

1979
01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,840
Speaker 3: boxes and it makes it very very easy to hand

1980
01:32:44,880 --> 01:32:46,400
Speaker 3: the ball to Daniel Jones.

1981
01:32:46,920 --> 01:32:49,280
Speaker 1: All right, and now we talk about free agency and

1982
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:52,960
Speaker 1: people adapting and teams adapting, players adapting the various teams.

1983
01:32:53,120 --> 01:32:55,120
Speaker 1: The question I have, I mean, they always talk I

1984
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:58,160
Speaker 1: hate this every year at the draft and you always

1985
01:32:58,200 --> 01:33:01,120
Speaker 1: hear these clowns on TV talk about, well, here's the

1986
01:33:01,200 --> 01:33:04,760
Speaker 1: best player available and here's a need factor. I mean,

1987
01:33:05,040 --> 01:33:08,479
Speaker 1: if I'm a guy drafting for a team, if I'm

1988
01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,680
Speaker 1: a personnel guy, general manager, coach, whatever it may be,

1989
01:33:11,120 --> 01:33:14,600
Speaker 1: I want to fill the problems that I have with

1990
01:33:14,800 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 1: players that could go to those positions that I need.

1991
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:20,000
Speaker 1: I want to go for need, not necessarily the best

1992
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,680
Speaker 1: player available. If I have a starting quarterback and a

1993
01:33:22,760 --> 01:33:25,360
Speaker 1: quarterback is on the board, I don't think I'm going

1994
01:33:25,400 --> 01:33:28,920
Speaker 1: to draft another quarterback, although we saw that several years ago.

1995
01:33:28,960 --> 01:33:31,360
Speaker 1: Remember when the Cleveland Browns, I think I picked number

1996
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 1: one in three and they picked two quarterbacks in both picks.

1997
01:33:34,560 --> 01:33:37,120
Speaker 1: Remember that that was several years ago. But I don't

1998
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:39,439
Speaker 1: see that. So what do you do? I mean, is

1999
01:33:39,479 --> 01:33:41,800
Speaker 1: it best player available? If for need? How do you

2000
01:33:41,840 --> 01:33:44,200
Speaker 1: do it?

2001
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,439
Speaker 3: It's a combination of both, and hopefully the best player

2002
01:33:47,439 --> 01:33:52,000
Speaker 3: available matches the need. Where really factors in is if

2003
01:33:52,000 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 3: you have two similarly rated players and you have a

2004
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:58,880
Speaker 3: player at a different position than the one of need.

2005
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 2: What you have to then do is, Okay, who are

2006
01:34:02,200 --> 01:34:03,400
Speaker 2: the best players available?

2007
01:34:03,520 --> 01:34:07,640
Speaker 3: These guys have grades that are comparable, may not necessarily

2008
01:34:07,680 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 3: be exact, but comparable. Well, we got a bigger need

2009
01:34:10,920 --> 01:34:14,760
Speaker 3: at disposition in that position? What supply and demand? Like,

2010
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,440
Speaker 3: are there any other guys at disposition that are available

2011
01:34:18,520 --> 01:34:23,400
Speaker 3: in later rounds that would give us comp production and

2012
01:34:23,439 --> 01:34:24,479
Speaker 3: performance in return?

2013
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:26,519
Speaker 2: Well, if it's not a we're gonna have to take

2014
01:34:26,600 --> 01:34:27,000
Speaker 2: this guy.

2015
01:34:27,080 --> 01:34:30,320
Speaker 3: Now, see if we can find the best of the

2016
01:34:30,400 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 3: other position a little later.

2017
01:34:32,920 --> 01:34:34,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's always that debate.

2018
01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:38,479
Speaker 3: Ultimately, you can jerry rig your board to make it

2019
01:34:38,520 --> 01:34:42,240
Speaker 3: where the best player available always matches your need. But

2020
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:47,479
Speaker 3: if you're being true to it, you great everybody for

2021
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:49,360
Speaker 3: who they are, what they are, the talent they bring,

2022
01:34:49,400 --> 01:34:52,760
Speaker 3: and how they project, and then as a team you

2023
01:34:52,840 --> 01:34:55,479
Speaker 3: have to figure out which of those guys really fits

2024
01:34:55,560 --> 01:34:57,320
Speaker 3: with the dynamic that you want to create an the

2025
01:34:57,360 --> 01:34:58,000
Speaker 3: locker room.

2026
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:00,880
Speaker 1: Okay, So basically, in a what you want to do

2027
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:02,679
Speaker 1: is you want to build your team to be competitive,

2028
01:35:02,720 --> 01:35:04,600
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. But there's another way to do

2029
01:35:04,680 --> 01:35:06,920
Speaker 1: that as well, and that's free agency, which is going

2030
01:35:06,960 --> 01:35:10,800
Speaker 1: on right now. So building through free agency can hurt

2031
01:35:10,840 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 1: a team, do you agree, can hurt an NFL team

2032
01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:16,479
Speaker 1: and the long term depending upon the types of deals

2033
01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: that are given. But there some evidence now that could

2034
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:22,400
Speaker 1: really help you in the short term. So basically a

2035
01:35:22,520 --> 01:35:26,880
Speaker 1: draft is for long term to develop. Free agency is

2036
01:35:26,960 --> 01:35:28,920
Speaker 1: right now, let's get it done. We need you right

2037
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: now to turn things around like next year.

2038
01:35:32,439 --> 01:35:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's how I suppose.

2039
01:35:33,760 --> 01:35:36,200
Speaker 3: That's how I was intended to be done, particularly by

2040
01:35:36,200 --> 01:35:39,280
Speaker 3: teams that take a draft and develop approach. From a

2041
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,840
Speaker 3: cost standpoint, it is more efficient and more cost effective

2042
01:35:43,320 --> 01:35:45,439
Speaker 3: if you build through the draft, because you get guys

2043
01:35:45,439 --> 01:35:48,280
Speaker 3: on a three or four year period on a rookie contract,

2044
01:35:48,520 --> 01:35:49,759
Speaker 3: we have cost control.

2045
01:35:50,360 --> 01:35:53,519
Speaker 2: Then if you resign them dependent upon.

2046
01:35:53,439 --> 01:35:56,519
Speaker 3: You know exactly what you're getting, So it's unlikely that

2047
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:58,880
Speaker 3: you're going to bust on a free agent that has

2048
01:35:58,920 --> 01:36:00,080
Speaker 3: come through your program.

2049
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:03,320
Speaker 2: That's where it works. Free agency was designed.

2050
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:05,439
Speaker 3: When you talk to Hall of Famer Ron Wolf and

2051
01:36:05,439 --> 01:36:08,479
Speaker 3: some other general managers that I've been around, they'll say

2052
01:36:08,479 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 3: that free agency is designed to fill the holes. What

2053
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,160
Speaker 3: you do as a general manager early in the offseason,

2054
01:36:14,240 --> 01:36:16,720
Speaker 3: you look at what's available in the draft and what

2055
01:36:16,880 --> 01:36:19,439
Speaker 3: is available on the free agent market. You try to

2056
01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:24,160
Speaker 3: identify the strengths and weaknesses of both classes, the draft

2057
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 3: class versus the free agent class, what's available, and then,

2058
01:36:28,960 --> 01:36:32,840
Speaker 3: based on supply and demand, you may opt for a

2059
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:36,200
Speaker 3: free agent at disposition because the supply in the draft

2060
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:38,479
Speaker 3: is not what we need to ensure that we can

2061
01:36:38,560 --> 01:36:42,679
Speaker 3: fix the position. You may opt for the draft to hey, look,

2062
01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:45,240
Speaker 3: the draft is plentiful. We got more than enough options

2063
01:36:45,320 --> 01:36:47,080
Speaker 3: there to take care of what we need to take

2064
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:50,120
Speaker 3: care of, so we can skip that position in free agency.

2065
01:36:50,680 --> 01:36:55,280
Speaker 3: Great general managers, great team builders, can float in both worlds.

2066
01:36:55,439 --> 01:36:56,479
Speaker 2: They know the pro.

2067
01:36:56,320 --> 01:36:58,479
Speaker 3: Game, they know what's going on there, but they also

2068
01:36:58,520 --> 01:37:01,960
Speaker 3: know the college game. If you're too heavy in one,

2069
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:05,080
Speaker 3: you have a blind spot towards the other. Great general

2070
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,960
Speaker 3: managers have operated in both worlds and they know how

2071
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 3: to mess them together to build the best team.

2072
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:12,040
Speaker 2: Interesting.

2073
01:37:12,080 --> 01:37:15,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so I know you did that mock draft NFL

2074
01:37:15,520 --> 01:37:18,960
Speaker 1: dot Com at Bucket Brooks mockdraft. I got a little

2075
01:37:18,960 --> 01:37:21,120
Speaker 1: bit of a I believe me. I'm in no way

2076
01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,320
Speaker 1: trying to compete with you, and there's no way I can.

2077
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,320
Speaker 1: If I ever had a race with you, I'd lose

2078
01:37:25,360 --> 01:37:29,080
Speaker 1: by several miles. However, I am going to share this

2079
01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 1: with you. The teams that have improved the most in

2080
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 1: free agency, all right, and one of them, I gotta

2081
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:38,240
Speaker 1: believe is the offensive line of the Chicago Bears. They

2082
01:37:38,280 --> 01:37:41,000
Speaker 1: got the Drew Dollman center at a free agency and

2083
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:43,640
Speaker 1: they traded for Jonah Jackson, a right guard. So I

2084
01:37:43,640 --> 01:37:46,400
Speaker 1: think the Bears really had not a really good offensive

2085
01:37:46,439 --> 01:37:49,360
Speaker 1: line maybe in five, six, seven years, and they got

2086
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:53,240
Speaker 1: the new coach and Ben Johnson, he really and truly

2087
01:37:53,320 --> 01:37:55,679
Speaker 1: he was the man with the Detroit Lions and their

2088
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 1: offensive line. He went in that direction. I think the

2089
01:37:57,840 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 1: Bears have improved their offensive line.

2090
01:38:00,520 --> 01:38:01,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have improved.

2091
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:06,040
Speaker 3: They've improved significantly on the offensive line, and that is

2092
01:38:06,080 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 3: a great thing to see them improve because they need

2093
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:11,520
Speaker 3: their young quarterback to take another step in his development.

2094
01:38:11,800 --> 01:38:13,720
Speaker 3: And the only way to do that is to protect them,

2095
01:38:13,760 --> 01:38:14,960
Speaker 3: and you protect them by being.

2096
01:38:14,840 --> 01:38:16,200
Speaker 2: Able to run the football.

2097
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:19,760
Speaker 3: If you look at Ben Johnson's pass and what Detroit

2098
01:38:19,880 --> 01:38:23,599
Speaker 3: really was, all the fun stuff that we saw, trick plays,

2099
01:38:23,720 --> 01:38:26,680
Speaker 3: passing game, jerk goff, all this other stuff, all of

2100
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:30,200
Speaker 3: that masked a team that was really an old school throwback,

2101
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,240
Speaker 3: run it down your throat type team.

2102
01:38:32,760 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 2: Chicago's gonna do that. They're gonna run the football.

2103
01:38:35,040 --> 01:38:37,160
Speaker 3: They're gonna be built on the running game because that's

2104
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:41,080
Speaker 3: the foundation, and then they will supplement that with the

2105
01:38:41,120 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 3: creative stuff that we've seen Kailer Williams get outside throw

2106
01:38:45,840 --> 01:38:48,080
Speaker 3: or whatever, but run game first. That's where the offensive

2107
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:50,920
Speaker 3: line needed to upgrade so they can play the bully

2108
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:51,400
Speaker 3: ball that you.

2109
01:38:51,360 --> 01:38:52,479
Speaker 2: Need to play in the division.

2110
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, and the right guard Jordan Jackson, he played for

2111
01:38:55,240 --> 01:38:57,479
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, and I think he's one of the

2112
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,000
Speaker 1: best gouts in the league. But he's got to be healthy,

2113
01:39:00,040 --> 01:39:02,720
Speaker 1: has to keep with him. So basically, Johnson knew, he

2114
01:39:02,800 --> 01:39:05,799
Speaker 1: knew what he wanted. He got his guy Jackson from Detroit,

2115
01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,679
Speaker 1: and he stays healthy. They're be in pretty good shape.

2116
01:39:08,680 --> 01:39:11,439
Speaker 1: At least the right guard. And I'm not talking about

2117
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,559
Speaker 1: the deorderant either I'm talking about the position.

2118
01:39:15,560 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean I was hoping that's what you're

2119
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:18,479
Speaker 2: talking about.

2120
01:39:19,040 --> 01:39:21,800
Speaker 1: But with it, there is a smell around here. But

2121
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 1: with the eye, I'm not pointing anythingers, I'm not doing that. Well,

2122
01:39:25,080 --> 01:39:30,639
Speaker 1: save that for the playing game, all right, I'm moving on. Okay,

2123
01:39:30,680 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna looking at the New England Patriots. I

2124
01:39:34,120 --> 01:39:37,880
Speaker 1: think they improved on defense. I'm not surprised Mike Rabel

2125
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,800
Speaker 1: that he's the guy. He's a defensive guy. They're gonna

2126
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:43,559
Speaker 1: be building on defense. And they got in free agency

2127
01:39:43,640 --> 01:39:48,840
Speaker 1: Carlton Davis, a cornerback. They got an inside linebacker, Robert Splane,

2128
01:39:49,360 --> 01:39:52,800
Speaker 1: and a defensive lineman Milton Williams. So I think these

2129
01:39:53,040 --> 01:39:57,920
Speaker 1: these guys really improved on defense. What they got Harold

2130
01:39:58,040 --> 01:40:02,120
Speaker 1: Landry a free agent edge rushers. So they really stocked

2131
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:05,640
Speaker 1: up the pile and free agency on defense. That's what

2132
01:40:05,680 --> 01:40:07,639
Speaker 1: they did because I think they believe in Drake May

2133
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 1: right now, he's that guy. He impressed him at least

2134
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:12,920
Speaker 1: down the stretch. So I think with Drake May developing

2135
01:40:13,160 --> 01:40:16,360
Speaker 1: defense getting stronger, they could they could be reckoned with

2136
01:40:16,400 --> 01:40:18,160
Speaker 1: maybe not next year, maybe the year after.

2137
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:20,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, they want to continue to start.

2138
01:40:20,600 --> 01:40:22,559
Speaker 3: I want to continue to make sure that Drake May

2139
01:40:22,600 --> 01:40:27,439
Speaker 3: has what he needs to be successful. And that's important

2140
01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:30,080
Speaker 3: because as you're building around the quarterback, you want to

2141
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:34,240
Speaker 3: make sure that he understands that he can comfortably play.

2142
01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:37,160
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to feel the need to be rushed.

2143
01:40:38,680 --> 01:40:39,400
Speaker 2: In those things.

2144
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 3: But they got to give him enough playmakers around to

2145
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:43,639
Speaker 3: allow him to really do his things so he can shine.

2146
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:50,080
Speaker 3: So I like their approach. Still more work to do,

2147
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 3: but I like what they've been able to do. And

2148
01:40:51,960 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 3: more importantly, man the coach is right. Vrabel is the

2149
01:40:57,120 --> 01:41:00,680
Speaker 3: right guy for them, and so I want to you

2150

2151
01:41:06,680 --> 01:41:10,400
Speaker 3: guys to kind of build the program that has been very,

2152
01:41:10,439 --> 01:41:15,360
Speaker 3: very successful in doing the old school throwback physicality, toughness, discipline, detail,

2153
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:17,519
Speaker 3: all that other stuff that work in New England.

2154
01:41:17,520 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 2: I want to see them get back to that.

2155
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:20,760
Speaker 1: He's like an old school kind of coach. He's like

2156
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:22,679
Speaker 1: a forest great coach's Neve Rabel.

2157

Speaker 1: the way, we're broadcasting live forthti IRAQ dot com Studios. Now,

2190
01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: we did have that list buck improved units in free agency,

2191
01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,440
Speaker 1: and we did the Bears. We did, we did the Patriots.

2192
01:43:16,680 --> 01:43:18,360
Speaker 1: I'm going to throw another one at you. I'm going

2193
01:43:18,400 --> 01:43:21,800
Speaker 1: to throw the Indianapolis Colts, and I think they improved there.

2194
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:28,839
Speaker 1: His secondary with cam Bineam a free agent signing for Minnesota. Agreed, Agreed.

2195
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:33,680
Speaker 3: I think that certainly Hurt helps them in the secondary.

2196
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,720
Speaker 3: They also added a safety that helps him. What they

2197
01:43:37,760 --> 01:43:39,080
Speaker 3: want to do is they got to get back to

2198
01:43:39,080 --> 01:43:42,160
Speaker 3: playing really good defense. Lou Narrumo comes over. He was

2199
01:43:42,200 --> 01:43:44,800
Speaker 3: fired from Cincinnati despite what I would say is doing

2200
01:43:44,840 --> 01:43:48,040
Speaker 3: a really really good job in difficult circumstances. He goes

2201
01:43:48,120 --> 01:43:51,160
Speaker 3: to Indianapolis, he's going to have the luxury of having

2202
01:43:52,040 --> 01:43:56,240
Speaker 3: more firepower on defense, more playmakers available to them, and

2203
01:43:56,320 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 3: offensively they should be good. So they should have an

2204
01:43:59,040 --> 01:44:02,880
Speaker 3: opportunity control the game because they're running game. But Jonathan

2205
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:06,080
Speaker 3: Taylor will allow them to saltweight leagues and so that

2206
01:44:06,560 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 3: time of possession.

2207
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 2: Battle that they can win will only help lou and

2208
01:44:10,400 --> 01:44:10,800
Speaker 2: Rumo and.

2209
01:44:10,840 --> 01:44:13,040
Speaker 3: His troops play at a high level. So I like

2210
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:15,080
Speaker 3: to fit. I like the players that they brought on board.

2211
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:18,800
Speaker 3: But look, there's a mandate. Gotta win now. No one

2212
01:44:18,880 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 3: is waiting.

2213
01:44:19,680 --> 01:44:22,280
Speaker 1: Gotta win now, especially the owner. He's not waiting. He

2214
01:44:22,320 --> 01:44:25,720
Speaker 1: wants to win, no doubt about that. All right. Another

2215
01:44:25,840 --> 01:44:28,840
Speaker 1: team that has improved with through free agency. I think

2216
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,840
Speaker 1: it's the Los Angeles Rams and the receiver situation they

2217
01:44:31,880 --> 01:44:35,280
Speaker 1: got Defonte Adams because the Cooper Cup era in LA

2218
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:38,200
Speaker 1: it's over. It's over, and really and truly, if you

2219
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,639
Speaker 1: are graphing that Cooper cut era, it's been going downhill

2220
01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,240
Speaker 1: the last several years because he has been healthy since

2221
01:44:44,240 --> 01:44:46,599
Speaker 1: he won that Triple Crown of twenty twenty one. He

2222
01:44:46,640 --> 01:44:49,800
Speaker 1: has played, believe it or not, just thirty four out

2223
01:44:49,840 --> 01:44:53,240
Speaker 1: of a possible fifty one games. So basically, Devonte Adams

2224
01:44:53,280 --> 01:44:55,680
Speaker 1: comes in. I think they improved themselves on the receiving end.

2225
01:44:58,240 --> 01:45:01,360
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he I mean he helps them.

2226
01:45:01,760 --> 01:45:05,240
Speaker 3: Devanta Adams, I'm gonna say this, he is a descending player.

2227
01:45:05,320 --> 01:45:08,559
Speaker 3: He's not what he once was, but he's available. I

2228
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 3: think they've said he's always played fourteen games. He's going

2229
01:45:11,920 --> 01:45:14,799
Speaker 3: to be available. Sean McVay will make sure he creates

2230
01:45:14,840 --> 01:45:16,559
Speaker 3: some things for him to not only get his touches,

2231
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:19,160
Speaker 3: but to make an imply because that's what Sean McVay does.

2232
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:22,080
Speaker 3: You now have him and Puka Nakua. I would expect

2233
01:45:22,160 --> 01:45:24,160
Speaker 3: them to add another piece. I know they had two

2234
01:45:24,200 --> 01:45:28,040
Speaker 3: two act well, which they resigned for like a ten million.

2235
01:45:29,400 --> 01:45:32,840
Speaker 3: They have some juice in the passing game, but it's

2236
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:35,679
Speaker 3: the way that it all comes together, and the running

2237
01:45:35,760 --> 01:45:37,599
Speaker 3: game is a big part of how it comes together.

2238
01:45:37,960 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 3: Their running game allows them to really take deep shots

2239
01:45:41,320 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 3: off play action, which puts their offense on an entire

2240
01:45:46,040 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 3: different level.

2241
01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 1: Okay, the Minnesota Vikings, I think through free agency they

2242
01:45:50,960 --> 01:45:55,080
Speaker 1: improved the offensive line, and they got two former Indianapolis

2243
01:45:55,080 --> 01:45:59,320
Speaker 1: Colts offensive linemen, Kelly and Fries came to Minnesota, which

2244
01:45:59,360 --> 01:46:01,479
Speaker 1: is really going to bols to them, and they need

2245
01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:03,680
Speaker 1: that with their new quarterback over there in Minnesota. So

2246
01:46:03,720 --> 01:46:07,160
Speaker 1: I think that's a good move. As you mentioned, they

2247
01:46:07,200 --> 01:46:09,680
Speaker 1: went for need. They needed offensive lineman. They need to

2248
01:46:09,680 --> 01:46:12,680
Speaker 1: protect their new quarterback. They need to protect JJ McCarthy.

2249
01:46:14,200 --> 01:46:16,759
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, they needed to. They needed to protect JJ McCarthy.

2250
01:46:16,800 --> 01:46:19,160
Speaker 3: They excited as I am about the moves they made

2251
01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,559
Speaker 3: on offense. I think defensively is where they really got better.

2252
01:46:21,640 --> 01:46:25,320
Speaker 3: Jonathan Allen coming over to help them at the point

2253
01:46:25,320 --> 01:46:28,640
Speaker 3: of attack. They now have salty defensive tackles that can

2254
01:46:28,680 --> 01:46:31,320
Speaker 3: get it done to go with the defensive front line

2255
01:46:31,320 --> 01:46:36,280
Speaker 3: that already speaks already has Andrew Van ginklm, Jonathan Grenard,

2256
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:41,000
Speaker 3: all of those guys are there. Secondary, they will plug

2257
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 3: and play some young guys to deal with some of

2258
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:46,439
Speaker 3: the old guys leaving. But this is a team that

2259
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:48,840
Speaker 3: on defense was doing it with smoking mirrors the first

2260
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 3: two years on the floors. When he has really a

2261
01:46:52,680 --> 01:46:58,120
Speaker 3: rock and stock lineup to feature, this defense could go

2262
01:46:58,200 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 3: next level and they already were top. Now you're talking

2263
01:47:01,080 --> 01:47:02,960
Speaker 3: about being a problem and a thorn in the side

2264
01:47:03,000 --> 01:47:05,880
Speaker 3: of the opponents can't deal with all the chaos and

2265
01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:07,599
Speaker 3: the talent that they able to put on the field.

2266
01:47:08,320 --> 01:47:10,360
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm gonna give you one more team, and I'll

2267
01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:11,760
Speaker 1: tell you what. This team is going to be a

2268
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:14,760
Speaker 1: dark corse. This team is gonna be competitive. I think

2269
01:47:14,800 --> 01:47:17,439
Speaker 1: think I'm talking about the I'm go go Baey the

2270
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,240
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos. I think bo Nicks is that guy. We

2271
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:21,760
Speaker 1: saw that at the end of the season. He came

2272
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:24,160
Speaker 1: on strong. And the fact that in free agency they

2273
01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:27,720
Speaker 1: picked up on defense and inside linebacker in green Law,

2274
01:47:27,800 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 1: Drake Greenlaw. I think this team right now is going

2275
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:32,240
Speaker 1: to make some moves. They made some moves listed they

2276
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,559
Speaker 1: had a shot at the playoffs going into the final

2277
01:47:34,560 --> 01:47:37,360
Speaker 1: game of the season. I think the Denver Broncos will

2278
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:39,280
Speaker 1: be a team to reckon with this coming season.

2279
01:47:40,560 --> 01:47:44,000
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I can't dispute it. I like what

2280
01:47:44,000 --> 01:47:46,200
Speaker 2: they've done. I like how Sean Payton is building his team.

2281
01:47:46,640 --> 01:47:48,639
Speaker 3: Signing Evan Ingram was a big hit because it takes

2282
01:47:48,640 --> 01:47:50,360
Speaker 3: the pressure of them having to get a tied end

2283
01:47:50,720 --> 01:47:52,720
Speaker 3: in the draft. Now they can focus there for someone

2284
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:55,040
Speaker 3: getting a big time running back. Javonte Williams is out.

2285
01:47:55,080 --> 01:47:58,920
Speaker 3: They need a stud running back, and I look for

2286
01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:01,920
Speaker 3: them to take one. Earthly Champagne at his best has

2287
01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 3: always operated with a balanced offense approach.

2288
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,679
Speaker 2: The running game has always been sneaky good.

2289
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:10,920
Speaker 3: He would use a variety of rotation of backs to

2290
01:48:11,000 --> 01:48:15,880
Speaker 3: kind of attack the defense. But his feasters, his big backs,

2291
01:48:16,000 --> 01:48:21,719
Speaker 3: is his blended backs all made significant impact. He wants

2292
01:48:21,760 --> 01:48:23,760
Speaker 3: to get back to that. That's his sweet spot. That's

2293
01:48:23,800 --> 01:48:26,280
Speaker 3: how he's always been at his best. Look for them

2294
01:48:26,320 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 3: to spend little money in that regard to make sure

2295
01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 3: or a little capital to make sure they have those positions.

2296
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:37,080
Speaker 1: Feel Okay? Now I mentioned about a duo that's gonna

2297
01:48:37,160 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 1: hurt others, and I'm talking about Jamar Chase and t Higgins.

2298
01:48:39,640 --> 01:48:42,240
Speaker 1: How is that going to happen? Look, these two guys

2299
01:48:42,320 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 1: right now are the most expensive wide out duo in

2300
01:48:45,640 --> 01:48:49,479
Speaker 1: NFL history. I mean, it's amazing. They're in Cincinnati. So Chase,

2301
01:48:49,520 --> 01:48:52,000
Speaker 1: as you know, won the receiving triple crown one hundred

2302
01:48:52,040 --> 01:48:56,280
Speaker 1: and twenty seven catches, seventeen hundred and eight yards, seventeen touchdowns,

2303
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:58,960
Speaker 1: tops in the league. Four years, one hundred and sixty

2304
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:03,679
Speaker 1: one million dollars, the best compensated non quarterback ever ever.

2305
01:49:04,320 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: Forty point three million average annual salary tops to one.

2306
01:49:07,840 --> 01:49:11,920
Speaker 1: Cleveland Browns defensive end Miles Garrett gets recently got T

2307
01:49:12,160 --> 01:49:15,120
Speaker 1: Higgins four years, one hundred and fifteen million. That ranks

2308
01:49:15,160 --> 01:49:18,240
Speaker 1: him about the top ten richest in the wideouts. Okay,

2309
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:22,160
Speaker 1: it's impressive because I think right now, these guys are

2310
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,280
Speaker 1: going to put pressure on other guys around the league.

2311
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:26,639
Speaker 1: And I got to ask you, these guys right now

2312
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:29,120
Speaker 1: who make this kind of money? Is it all about

2313
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:31,920
Speaker 1: talent or is it ego? I mean, I know Jamar

2314
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:35,559
Speaker 1: Chase last year, even during the preseason, would come to

2315
01:49:35,640 --> 01:49:39,040
Speaker 1: practice jersey on, uniform on, but stay on the side

2316
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:41,439
Speaker 1: lines would in practice. He was still upset back then

2317
01:49:41,960 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: about his contract. I mean, I guess he's doing it

2318
01:49:46,040 --> 01:49:49,320
Speaker 1: because others were making similar money. Is it ego or

2319
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:52,720
Speaker 1: is it worth? I still can't figure it out why

2320
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:56,400
Speaker 1: some of these guys want so much more and I

2321
01:49:56,439 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: don't know why. I mean, is it because Justin Jefferson

2322
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:01,120
Speaker 1: was making more him, so he wants to make more

2323
01:50:01,160 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 1: than Justin Jefferson at the same position. Is it all

2324
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:04,759
Speaker 1: about ego.

2325
01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 2: I mean ego, value us, all of the above. It's

2326
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:10,800
Speaker 2: a little bit of everything. Ego. You want to be

2327
01:50:11,520 --> 01:50:12,760
Speaker 2: the top eight guy, because that.

2328
01:50:12,760 --> 01:50:15,160
Speaker 3: Means the league respects you as one of the premier

2329
01:50:15,200 --> 01:50:19,160
Speaker 3: players in the league, if not the best. Some of

2330
01:50:19,200 --> 01:50:24,280
Speaker 3: it is value and impact. You're willing to open up

2331
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:29,560
Speaker 3: the bank for Joe Burrow. We're as top wide receivers.

2332
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 3: And as much as you can say he made us,

2333
01:50:31,600 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 3: we might have made him. So everyone needs to get paid,

2334
01:50:36,040 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna get paid. And then what they did,

2335
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:42,080
Speaker 3: which is really smart, and this normally happens in the

2336
01:50:42,080 --> 01:50:42,720
Speaker 3: broadcast world.

2337
01:50:42,800 --> 01:50:44,600
Speaker 2: Sometimes T Higgins and.

2338
01:50:44,640 --> 01:50:48,320
Speaker 3: Jermar Chase teamed up and got the same representation. So

2339
01:50:48,360 --> 01:50:51,519
Speaker 3: now when the Cincinnati Bengals are sliding numbers across the table,

2340
01:50:52,320 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 3: the agent has knowledge of both sides. He knows exactly

2341
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:57,679
Speaker 3: what you are from the other guy and my guy.

2342
01:50:57,760 --> 01:50:59,840
Speaker 3: So now we got to make sure that we get this.

2343
01:51:00,240 --> 01:51:02,599
Speaker 3: And here's the best way that we can make sure

2344
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:06,040
Speaker 3: that both guys are compensated fairly and.

2345
01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 2: They feel the love. And that's what they were able

2346
01:51:07,920 --> 01:51:08,200
Speaker 2: to do.

2347
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 3: So it was slightly less than market value for some,

2348
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:14,360
Speaker 3: but collectively, I mean they're in a.

2349
01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:16,720
Speaker 2: Hot gutt and a duo. I mean two duos with.

2350
01:51:16,960 --> 01:51:21,679
Speaker 3: Two franchise play a duo with two franchise players, franchise

2351
01:51:21,720 --> 01:51:23,920
Speaker 3: caliber players at wide receiver.

2352
01:51:24,120 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 2: Nah, that's banana. You can't let that walk out the door.

2353
01:51:26,840 --> 01:51:28,479
Speaker 1: You're right, and you know I have no problem with

2354
01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:30,160
Speaker 1: them making that kind of money. Make as much as

2355
01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:32,040
Speaker 1: you can, because I tell you why. And no one

2356
01:51:32,040 --> 01:51:35,519
Speaker 1: even brings this point up. If Tom Bradley could get

2357
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:38,000
Speaker 1: a contract with three hundred million dollars to broadcast games,

2358
01:51:38,080 --> 01:51:40,439
Speaker 1: and he's never had any experience doing so, and I

2359
01:51:40,479 --> 01:51:42,519
Speaker 1: don't think he was that good. To be honest with you,

2360
01:51:42,600 --> 01:51:46,920
Speaker 1: I really don't three hundred mil. Remember, I honestly believe this.

2361
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:50,960
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody tunes in a game for an announcer.

2362
01:51:51,240 --> 01:51:53,720
Speaker 1: I tune in a game because of the competition and

2363
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:55,639
Speaker 1: the two teams that are playing. If there are two

2364
01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:57,760
Speaker 1: games going on at the same time, I want to

2365
01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:59,960
Speaker 1: watch the better game. I don't even look to see

2366
01:52:00,160 --> 01:52:03,120
Speaker 1: who's announcing that game. So I have no problem whatsoever

2367
01:52:03,160 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: these guys getting that money. All I'm saying is that

2368
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:08,360
Speaker 1: what they have done, they've raised the bar for others.

2369
01:52:08,439 --> 01:52:12,240
Speaker 1: For example, Michael Parsons with the Dallas Cowboys. Miles Garrett

2370
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:16,320
Speaker 1: set the bar for Jamar Chase, and he may have

2371
01:52:16,360 --> 01:52:19,760
Speaker 1: done the same thing for Parsons Dallas Cowboys. It's all

2372
01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:22,479
Speaker 1: pro linebacker. He's supposed to get twenty four million dollars

2373
01:52:22,479 --> 01:52:25,240
Speaker 1: this year, a fifth year option of his rookie contract.

2374
01:52:25,560 --> 01:52:28,840
Speaker 1: But Jerry Jones is procrastinating, hasn't done anything, and he's

2375
01:52:28,840 --> 01:52:30,840
Speaker 1: gonna get some big money. He's gonna sit out. He's

2376
01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna get the biggest money he can and he should

2377
01:52:33,240 --> 01:52:35,000
Speaker 1: have got it last year. And really and truly it

2378
01:52:35,080 --> 01:52:38,240
Speaker 1: could have been a similar situation in Cincinnati, because really,

2379
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,920
Speaker 1: the Bengals probably could have saved twenty to thirty million

2380
01:52:40,960 --> 01:52:43,680
Speaker 1: dollars if they would have signed Chase last year. I

2381
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: don't know why these guys wait, why ownership waits, but

2382
01:52:46,600 --> 01:52:49,719
Speaker 1: they wait. And now Michael Parsons is gonna get money,

2383
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:51,320
Speaker 1: and Jerry Jones is gonna have to pay.

2384
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 3: He's gonna have to pay if they want to keep them.

2385
01:52:55,680 --> 01:52:57,599
Speaker 3: But what if they don't want to keep them? What

2386
01:52:57,640 --> 01:52:59,320
Speaker 3: if they don't want to pay that kind of money

2387
01:52:59,320 --> 01:53:03,800
Speaker 3: for Michael Parson. Maybe Michael Parsons is disruptive to the

2388
01:53:03,880 --> 01:53:06,599
Speaker 3: chemistry that they are trying to establish in the locker room.

2389
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:08,720
Speaker 3: This is one that you want to keep on eye

2390
01:53:08,760 --> 01:53:10,439
Speaker 3: on because normally you want to be the first to

2391
01:53:10,479 --> 01:53:11,120
Speaker 3: the tape when.

2392
01:53:10,960 --> 01:53:12,559
Speaker 2: It comes to doing these big deals.

2393
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:16,839
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett has changed how much conversation these guys are getting.

2394
01:53:17,240 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 3: Maybe the Cowboys aren't necessarily convinced that this is going

2395
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 3: to be a great thing for their franchise long term.

2396
01:53:23,400 --> 01:53:25,479
Speaker 2: I go fifty to fifty. I'm on the fence on this.

2397
01:53:26,040 --> 01:53:29,480
Speaker 3: Love the talent, love all the impact, potential, very disruptive,

2398
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:33,040
Speaker 3: all of those things. But he also has a look

2399
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 3: he can be a little different. He's in the podcast world,

2400
01:53:37,200 --> 01:53:39,879
Speaker 3: he's doing some of this other stuff. Are his interests

2401
01:53:39,880 --> 01:53:42,360
Speaker 3: all in on ball? Or does you want to be

2402
01:53:42,400 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 3: a star? Those things have to be kind of assessed

2403
01:53:46,400 --> 01:53:48,120
Speaker 3: and figured out, and some of these going to require

2404
01:53:48,160 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 3: some hard conversations, but some conversations that.

2405
01:53:50,800 --> 01:53:53,400
Speaker 2: Need to be had. It they need to be had early.

2406
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,200
Speaker 3: To allow the team to prepare if some of these

2407
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:57,960
Speaker 3: don't go the way that they think.

2408
01:53:58,560 --> 01:54:01,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Jamar Chase, do you talk about these guys

2409
01:54:01,160 --> 01:54:03,840
Speaker 1: having the same representation. I think that one of the

2410
01:54:03,840 --> 01:54:06,519
Speaker 1: best representations that they had was Joe Burrow, the quarterback

2411
01:54:06,520 --> 01:54:09,479
Speaker 1: who went public every time he had an opportunity to talk,

2412
01:54:09,640 --> 01:54:11,800
Speaker 1: he talked about how much he wanted these guys on

2413
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:13,920
Speaker 1: the team, how much he needed these guys. And I

2414
01:54:13,920 --> 01:54:15,360
Speaker 1: think that put a lot of pressure on the front

2415
01:54:15,400 --> 01:54:16,639
Speaker 1: office to sign those guys.

2416
01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:21,840
Speaker 3: I mean when I think, I mean when I think

2417
01:54:21,840 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 3: about all of this and we think about the money. Ideally,

2418
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 3: here's where the money should go to. The money should

2419
01:54:29,240 --> 01:54:32,200
Speaker 3: go to your best players. But for your best players

2420
01:54:32,240 --> 01:54:34,480
Speaker 3: to get the money, they not only have to have

2421
01:54:34,560 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 3: the best performances on the line, they have to be

2422
01:54:36,480 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 3: the most valuable when it comes to what their presidence brings.

2423
01:54:40,160 --> 01:54:42,240
Speaker 3: But they got to be great dudes in the locker room.

2424
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:45,800
Speaker 3: Because what happens if you reward people who are not

2425
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:50,080
Speaker 3: great in the locker room, meaning the connectivity, how they engage,

2426
01:54:50,120 --> 01:54:52,800
Speaker 3: how they bring the team together, and those things. Now

2427
01:54:52,840 --> 01:54:55,240
Speaker 3: the team looks at you and say, oh, you reward

2428
01:54:55,320 --> 01:54:57,720
Speaker 3: bad behavior. So why do I need to mind? Why

2429
01:54:57,800 --> 01:54:59,320
Speaker 3: do I need to be on my p's and q's

2430
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 3: When you talk to me, you direct me whatever. There

2431
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:03,920
Speaker 3: are others who are doing it their own way and

2432
01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:06,760
Speaker 3: they're getting the bag. Maybe I'll do it my own way,

2433
01:55:06,800 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 3: and I get the bag and on the terms that

2434
01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:11,880
Speaker 3: I see fit, I say, look, that's a rarity, but

2435
01:55:12,080 --> 01:55:17,200
Speaker 3: some of this is about being able to understand value,

2436
01:55:17,760 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 3: being understand pecking order or the hierarchy of the locker room,

2437
01:55:21,280 --> 01:55:24,080
Speaker 3: and then the overall impact on the franchise that that

2438
01:55:24,120 --> 01:55:27,200
Speaker 3: player brings as the premier player.

2439
01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:29,320
Speaker 1: I hear what you're saying. I'm going to wrap this

2440
01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 1: up right now. Is that? Could he say? Is that

2441
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:34,000
Speaker 1: the reason why Aaron Rodgers are still looking for a job.

2442
01:55:35,800 --> 01:55:38,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because everyone needs to know how he fits in.

2443
01:55:38,680 --> 01:55:41,000
Speaker 3: They can talk about the jigsaw puzzling those things, but

2444
01:55:41,640 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 3: how does he fit in the locker room? And how

2445
01:55:43,440 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 3: does he take over your organization? Are you going to

2446
01:55:46,200 --> 01:55:51,440
Speaker 3: allow him to hijack the organization if you are the man, Look,

2447
01:55:51,480 --> 01:55:55,520
Speaker 3: it's a short term, fixed, long term issue. You got

2448
01:55:55,520 --> 01:55:57,320
Speaker 3: to have a strong presence at head coach if you're

2449
01:55:57,320 --> 01:55:58,680
Speaker 3: going to bring him in, because he has to set

2450
01:55:58,720 --> 01:55:59,800
Speaker 3: him straight and he has to make sure that the

2451
01:56:00,160 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 3: in order say it's the same.

2452
01:56:01,600 --> 01:56:03,840

Speaker 5: It all right, lads, Go all right, guys, So you cons.

2466
01:56:38,360 --> 01:56:42,520
Speaker 5: Dan Hurley admits mistakes won't change how he coaches. He

2467
01:56:42,600 --> 01:56:46,520
Speaker 5: made comments about the officiating after his Husky's A lost

2468
01:56:46,640 --> 01:56:49,400
Speaker 5: to Florida in the attorney earlier in the week.

2469
01:56:49,720 --> 01:56:51,800
Speaker 4: Uh, who do you blame? Andy Furman?

2470
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 1: You know what, It's really easy to point the finger

2471
01:56:54,200 --> 01:56:56,000
Speaker 1: at Dan Hurley and he's a friend, so I won't

2472
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:57,880
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna point the finger to the athletic

2473
01:56:57,960 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: director in president. They got to control him. I saw

2474
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:03,480
Speaker 1: Dan Hurley in sixty minutes and Gino the women's coach.

2475
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 1: He was telling him a back off, relaxed a little bit,

2476
01:57:06,280 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 1: you know, take some time off, do something. So these

2477
01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:11,080
Speaker 1: people got to surround him. He's got some problem. He's

2478
01:57:11,080 --> 01:57:14,840
Speaker 1: a hyper guy. He's intense, but you gotta know that

2479
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,240
Speaker 1: going in and these people do and they don't do

2480
01:57:17,280 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 1: anything to help him. So I'm not blaming Dan. I'm

2481
01:57:19,880 --> 01:57:25,360
Speaker 1: blaming the people surrounding him and those who hired him.

2482
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:28,920
Speaker 2: I'm blaming Dan. Sorry. He's the leader of the team.

2483
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 3: He has to have the emotional maturity to be able

2484
01:57:31,360 --> 01:57:34,400
Speaker 3: to deal with those situations. Good call, bad call, ups

2485
01:57:34,400 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 3: and downs. He has to be able to handle it.

2486
01:57:36,160 --> 01:57:38,600
Speaker 3: He's been a baby at times. And even though he

2487
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,680
Speaker 3: has the two time national champion thing behind him and

2488
01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:45,520
Speaker 3: that's on his resume, it's not a license. It's not

2489
01:57:45,560 --> 01:57:47,160
Speaker 3: a license for him to talk to the people the

2490
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 3: way that he talks to him. It's not a licen

2491
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:50,840
Speaker 3: for him to show out in games. Hey, it's on

2492
01:57:50,960 --> 01:57:51,520
Speaker 3: Dan Hailer.

2493
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,360
Speaker 4: He gotta grow up, all right, Well, we'll going on

2494
01:57:54,480 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 4: the next one, guys.

2495
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:59,520
Speaker 5: So Saint Francis University of Penna quits March Madness for

2496
01:57:59,640 --> 01:58:03,360
Speaker 5: Division three, with revenue sharing looming so Basketball Hall of

2497
01:58:03,400 --> 01:58:06,839
Speaker 5: Famer Maurice Stokes played for that school in the nineteen fifties.

2498
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:11,400
Speaker 4: Hoodia blame Bucky, Look, I blame.

2499
01:58:11,280 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 2: The currency of basketball. It's to have and have not.

2500
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,520
Speaker 3: It's like, if you don't have big money, you can't

2501
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:17,840
Speaker 3: compete at the highest level. When you looked at the

2502
01:58:18,040 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 3: Elite eight and you looked at the seas, it's all ones,

2503
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:22,880
Speaker 3: twos and one or two threes.

2504
01:58:23,400 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 2: That's it. There's no send to reller stories.

2505
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:27,080
Speaker 3: And so if you don't have the money to compete,

2506
01:58:27,120 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 3: why even do it? Drop down the Division three, be dominant,

2507
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:32,280
Speaker 3: be a big fish in a small pond.

2508
01:58:32,560 --> 01:58:33,200
Speaker 2: Makes sense to me.

2509
01:58:33,320 --> 01:58:36,600
Speaker 1: For Saint Francis the Red Flash or Saint Francis of

2510
01:58:36,640 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania never should have been a Division one to begin with.

2511
01:58:39,640 --> 01:58:42,919
Speaker 1: It's a small school that got maybe two three thousand students.

2512
01:58:43,120 --> 01:58:45,440
Speaker 1: They can't compete. They got a beautiful gymnasium. I've been there.

2513
01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:48,080
Speaker 1: It's in Loretto, Pennsylvania. But the point is that you

2514
01:58:48,120 --> 01:58:51,200
Speaker 1: don't have the nil money, you can't compete. So why try?

2515
01:58:51,440 --> 01:58:55,480
Speaker 1: Why try be big in a little place? Like you say, Bucky,

2516
01:58:55,720 --> 01:58:57,680
Speaker 1: move down to Division three, you'll do fine.

2517
01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:00,000
Speaker 4: All right, Final blame here, guys.

2518
01:59:00,160 --> 01:59:03,120
Speaker 5: The Oakland A's are stuck in a minor league ballpark

2519
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:07,080
Speaker 5: in Sacramento, California, the capital of California.

2520
01:59:07,080 --> 01:59:09,760
Speaker 4: By the way, this season, who do you blame?

2521
01:59:09,920 --> 01:59:13,000
Speaker 1: Many ownership of the A's. They couldn't cut a deal

2522
01:59:13,040 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 1: with the city of Oakland. The city of Oakland. The

2523
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:16,920
Speaker 1: fans have to suffer about that. So you know what,

2524
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:20,760
Speaker 1: You're stuck in a minor league dump in Sacramento. That's

2525
01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:22,320
Speaker 1: why you're stuck. You deserve it.

2526
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:24,960
Speaker 2: Look, I blame ownership.

2527
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:29,360
Speaker 3: Look, the A's ownership has disrespected Oakland on so many

2528
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 3: different occasions that they made it where. They moved the

2529
01:59:32,640 --> 01:59:34,320
Speaker 3: team first from go to Vegas, then they ended up

2530
01:59:34,320 --> 01:59:35,560
Speaker 3: being Sacramento.

2531
01:59:35,280 --> 01:59:35,880
Speaker 2: Lesser place.

2532
01:59:36,240 --> 01:59:40,000
Speaker 3: They've violated the tradition and the history, the glorious history

2533
01:59:40,080 --> 01:59:43,200
Speaker 3: of the Oakland A's. I'm disappointed it isn't been Sacramento,

2534
01:59:43,280 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 3: but now they canna be irrelevant. No one is going

2535
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,560
Speaker 3: to pay attention to the A's just because they're Sacramento.

2536
01:59:48,760 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 3: They were Oakland's team, and ownership moved them from being

2537
01:59:52,680 --> 01:59:54,919
Speaker 3: a tradition and an institution in Oakland.

2538
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:58,360
Speaker 1: Unbelievable. What to They have a great week we'll see

2539
01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:00,680
Speaker 1: you next week. Count Down this next, right a Fox
