Eagles? We're gonna 10 00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: save that, We're gonna save this. We're gonna table that 11 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,480 Speaker 2: for for later in the week. 12 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,319 Speaker 1: But we'll have plenty of the game coming up later 13 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: in the week, which is something we've been pointing to 14 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 1: for a long time. 15 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: Uh, let's let's get this thing started. 16 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 3: Though. 17 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: Let's jump into what we saw last night. This is 18 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: uh the Monday night recap in a game that I'm 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: gonna be honest, not the most esthetically pleasing game. I 20 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: think the maybe the this shine came off a little bit. 21 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: Buck On on what had been a great story with 22 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: Josh turned it over a bunch in this game and 23 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,480 Speaker 1: the Bears find their way. 24 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: To the winner circle, what was your takeaway. 25 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, my takeaway is the Bears playing well on the 26 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 3: Matt Everflus. The one thing that you have to admire 27 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 3: is that he's been able to keep this team together. 28 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 3: This is a team that was kind of left for dead, 29 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,360 Speaker 3: didn't think that they were going to be able to 30 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,759 Speaker 3: kind of make it down the stretch. But they played 31 00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 3: with great effort, great energy, and the execution has gotten 32 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,400 Speaker 3: better every week. And from a defensive standpoint, this is 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 3: a team. They want to see ball, get ball, and 34 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,639 Speaker 3: sometimes the zones and stuff that they play can really 35 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 3: mess with a quarterback. And we saw they were able 36 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: to get after Josh Dobbs. They made light miserable for 37 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,039 Speaker 3: him because they did a really good job of tracking 38 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,040 Speaker 3: his eyes and making plays. And when the Bears bring 39 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: the energy and the effort that we saw on Monday night, 40 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 3: they have a chance to win, particularly when they get 41 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 3: contributions from their offense. 42 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think looking at this and I 43 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 4: think we can all appreciate and respect of the work 44 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 4: that Josh Dobbs has done over his career, right, I mean, 45 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: coming in in some really difficult situations, going back to 46 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 4: last year or at Tennessee, you know this year at Arizona, 47 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 4: in the first couple of weeks here in Minnesota, I mean, 48 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: played really good, you know football for a team that 49 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 4: really needed and was desperate at the quarterback spot. But 50 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 4: you know, like I think that, as Bucky mentioned, the 51 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 4: shine does start to come off a little bit. I mean, 52 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 4: you look at what happened in Arizona at the end, 53 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 4: I mean, through three interceptions. At his last two games, 54 00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: there was minimized in the run game, kind of like 55 00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 4: he was in this game and you see four interceptions. 56 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 5: Obviously that sticks out. 57 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: I don't know that one of them bounce right off 58 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 4: Jordan Adison's hands, you know, another one was really close. 59 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 4: So like, I don't think it was like this four 60 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 4: interception debacle that maybe it can get painted at if 61 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: you're just looking. 62 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:38,359 Speaker 5: At the box score. 63 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,400 Speaker 4: But I think what happens is when you have a 64 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 4: defense that can limit the way that he's able to 65 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 4: affect the game with his athleticism. He even talked about 66 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 4: it afterwards, like they did a great job in their 67 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,119 Speaker 4: rush lanes kind of maintaining discipline, not really allowing him 68 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 4: to create the way he does. And I just he's 69 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 4: not the type of player otherwise he'd been starting for 70 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 4: the last six years to win that way when he 71 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 4: can't use that piece of his game and be that 72 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 4: consistent that a team like this in the Vikings play 73 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 4: without Justin Jefferson really needs so dj I just I 74 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 4: feel like the luster does start to come off a 75 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 4: little bit the more that you see of it. 76 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:16,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, to me, the keys there are you 77 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: touched on it. It's it's accuracy, it's protecting the football, 78 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: and then it's using your legs to add to it. 79 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 1: So when you only carry the ball two times for 80 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 1: eleven yards in this game, you eliminate that obviously. The 81 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: turnovers and I look, the one did hit Addison literally 82 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 1: almost in the face, so you don't put all of 83 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: them on him. But he didn't do a good job 84 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: protecting the ball. The accuracy was okay, he was fine there. 85 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 1: He was almost seventy percent in this game, sixty nine percent. 86 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: So I was thinking going into this game and Buck, 87 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: I'll get it over to you on this one, that 88 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: the decision that Vikings could have with Kirk Cousins being up, 89 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: both these guys being up, you could make a case 90 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 1: before this game kicked off that the Vikings had the 91 00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: two most promising, most attractive free agent quarterbacks in next 92 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: year's market, Like there was a chance both those guys 93 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: find hefty paydays. And I thought the Vikings might have 94 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: to make a decision. Do we want to bring Cousins back? No, 95 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: you know, north of forty pushing fifty million a year, 96 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: or would you know, could we get Dobbs on maybe 97 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 1: a twenty you know, kind of that lower tier quarterback 98 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: dollars And say, man, you know, I don't know Dobbs 99 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: the way he'd been playing. Maybe Dobbs well after this game, Yeah, 100 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think that you're the Vikings. 101 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,200 Speaker 2: You can let Kirk Cousins walk out of. 102 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 5: That building to you. 103 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 3: So it just depends like the team building model, right, 104 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,280 Speaker 3: and so like if you pay Kirk now you're talking 105 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 3: about fifty plus million dollars in you know, how good 106 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: is he going to be for you in terms of 107 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: getting over the top when you pay him that much money? 108 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 6: Because you're also limited in other areas. 109 00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,479 Speaker 3: We Josh Dobbs is trying to find what is the 110 00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 3: sweet point, the sweet spot in terms of how much 111 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 3: he should get. He's about twenty million, maybe's a ten. 112 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 3: Where does he fall in between. That'd be an interesting conversation, 113 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 3: or do they go to the draft. The one thing 114 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: about the Vikings is they made themselves competitive where they 115 00:04:58,760 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 3: were in the conversation of. 116 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 6: Being in the post the postseason. 117 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 3: Now they have to figure out, Okay, are we good 118 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 3: enough to get in the tournament or is this where 119 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 3: we are? 120 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 6: We fall back. 121 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 3: We now get the pick and kind of focus our 122 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 3: efforts on getting the young guys ready for next year. 123 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: It'll be interesting to see what kind of determination Kevin 124 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: O'Connell and the staff makes as they go forward. 125 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, and one real quick, Rhett, you know the age 126 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: of Kirk Cousins in his mid thirties, but this injury 127 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: is the first injury he's had alto This is the 128 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 1: first practice he's missed. 129 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 2: And see was a sophomore high school, so he's been 130 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: extremely durable. 131 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,040 Speaker 1: And with a quarterback who's not really you know, an 132 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 1: athletic move guy, I think the achilles isn't going to 133 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: be as big of a detriment or as big a 134 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: concern coming off that injury for a guy like him. 135 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 5: I think that's a good point too. 136 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 4: And we also have to watch, you know, what happens 137 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 4: with the Justin Jefferson contract that's going to command you know, 138 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 4: close to thirty million. 139 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 5: I mean, he'll be in the twenty five million with. 140 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: The way that that he's you know, established himself as 141 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 4: one of, if not the best receiver in football right now. 142 00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 5: So you know, how does that work out with Cousins. 143 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 4: But if you believe what you heard on the broadcast, 144 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 4: I mean you had Joe Buck talking about their meeting 145 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 4: with Kevin O'Connell and that he was desperate to bring 146 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins back next year and wants to figure out 147 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: a way to make it work. So I think that's 148 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 4: probably still the best course forward here for the Minnesota Vikings. 149 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: Teach, have no doubt. Look at that. We squeezed the 150 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: nice conversation out of a terrible football game. We done. 151 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 2: Well done, everybody, Well done. All right, let's keep the 152 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:22,760 Speaker 2: train moving here. 153 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: Let's get to the NFC playoff picture, and I want 154 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: to focus on a couple teams that are in the 155 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 1: hut there. When you look at the Green Bay Packers 156 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 1: at five and six, the Rams five and six as well, 157 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: I want to. 158 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: Focus really on those two. 159 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: You see the Minnesota Vikings, they're holding that last spot 160 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: at six and six. 161 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 2: But Buck, when you look at Green Bay. 162 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: And you look at the Los Angeles Rams, you know, 163 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: green Bay, I'd say expectations, even with Jordan Love taking 164 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: over for Aaron Rodgers, They're probably around where the expectations were. 165 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: I would say the Rams have exceeded expectations for where 166 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: they are. Both these teams right in the mix for 167 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: playoff spots. Who do you trust more between those two? 168 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 6: I'm gonna trust the Green Bay Packers more. 169 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers have more talent at the other 170 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: positions outside of quarterback and Aaron Dawell. When you look 171 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 3: at this defense, they have enough playmakers on defense to 172 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 3: get after Rashan Garry is playing really really well, being 173 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: able to get after the pass or defensively the beginning 174 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,480 Speaker 3: to kind of find their identity under Joe Berry, and 175 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 3: then offensively, the young playmakers have a synergy and a 176 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 3: connection with Jordan Love that has given them an opportunity 177 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 3: to kind of find their way as an offense. Matla 178 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 3: Floyd has to be pleased with the progress of the 179 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: young guys. I just trust this team, and I just 180 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 3: trust that they gonna find a way to get it done. 181 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 3: I look for them to be the seventh seed when 182 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 3: it's all said and done. 183 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: At the end of the season. 184 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, it's hard for me not to choose the Rams here. 185 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 4: I think that they've done a really good job accentuating 186 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: their weapons offensively, as Sean McVay and Michael flour can 187 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 4: always do, right. I think you trust the quarterback obviously, 188 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 4: I think more than anybody in that wildcard discussion here 189 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 4: with Matthew Stafford. You know, win healthy again, throws four 190 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: touchdowns this last game. But in addition to that and 191 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 4: what we've seen from Pookakakua this year and obviously Cooper Cup, 192 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: you know, still one of the very best. But Kyrin 193 00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 4: Williams I think is a difference maker for this team 194 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: and their commitment to run the football and ability to 195 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 4: execute chunk plays in the run game. We don't talk 196 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 4: about seventeen carries one hundred and forty eight yards like 197 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 4: that's not just three clouds in or three yards in 198 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 4: a cloud of dust. Like They're finding ways to impact 199 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 4: the game both on the ground and then with a 200 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: number of weapons. In the past game, we saw Tyler 201 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 4: Hickbee get back involved in a big way this past week. 202 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 4: So like They've got a lot on offense. I will 203 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 4: agree with Bucky DJ that the Packers probably had the 204 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 4: edge in terms of totality and talent on the defensive 205 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 4: side of the ball. They're getting a lot of those 206 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 4: injured dbs back now, But I still trust Matthew Stafford, 207 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 4: Sean McVay and the Rams the most out of that group. 208 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm looking at the schedule for the Rams guys, 209 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: and if we assume nine and eight most likely gets 210 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,959 Speaker 1: you in in the NFC for that last Wildcards. But 211 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: I believe when you kind of look at the schedules 212 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: and how this whole thing shakes out, so that means 213 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: you look at their schedule for the remaining schedule for 214 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: the Rams, Cleveland with backup quarterback, I feel like that's 215 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: a win at Baltimore is that they're not going to 216 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: win that game, so we'll give him a loss there. 217 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: But outside of that, then you go Washington, New Orleans, 218 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: the Giants, and then the last week of the season 219 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: at San Francisco, who might have whatever seen they are 220 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: wrapped up like the Rams are going. 221 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: To win nine and maybe even ten games. So it's incredible. 222 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 1: It's a testament to what coaching and teaching does when 223 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: you have a talented quarterback that can kind of handle 224 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 1: things there, but then you just draft so many young 225 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: players you've had to purge this roster that buck. I 226 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: think the underrated aspect is development and teaching at the 227 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 1: NFL level. There's very few teams that do it well. 228 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,679 Speaker 1: I'd probably count on one hand. I don't know if 229 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: anybody does it better than Sean McVay and his staff. 230 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 3: Hey give him credit, man, because there are a lot 231 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 3: of people that weren't worried about him checking out, like 232 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 3: not having all the weapons available with this team being 233 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 3: in a rebuild, did he have the wherewithal to kind 234 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 3: of stick through it and grind out to get this 235 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 3: team back to a place where they're not only respectable, 236 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 3: but they're competitive and they can be a playoff contender. 237 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 2: Pass off to him because he did it. 238 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 7: And I don't know if many of us thought that 239 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 7: he had d like the mentality to be able to 240 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: do it. But they've done it, and the young players 241 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 7: that they've been able to develop over time, the guys 242 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 7: that have been third round or later that have come 243 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 7: in and made major contributions. Being able to kind of 244 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:24,319 Speaker 7: get those guys on the field. 245 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 3: Being unafraid to play them and give them opportunities to 246 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 3: kind of work through those mistakes. The Rams are there 247 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: reaping the benefits of being kind of bold when it 248 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 3: came to putting those guys on the field. Because the 249 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,800 Speaker 3: young guys are playing well, and because you have Matthew Stafford, 250 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 3: a quarterback that has played at a high level in 251 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 3: this league, he is being able to kind of guide 252 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,559 Speaker 3: them to this winn circle is working really really well 253 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 3: in LA. 254 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, no question. 255 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:49,959 Speaker 1: Let's give less sneed a lot of love there as 256 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: well for the job he's done of identifying players that 257 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: are coachable and have some upside and they've been able 258 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 1: to tap into that. All right, let's jump into speaking 259 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: of the draft, jump into the top ten if the 260 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: season ended right now, Here's what we're looking at, Picks 261 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 1: one through ten. How about the Bears, even with the 262 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: win last night, they're picking one in four. 263 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 2: The Patriots are sitting right there at three. 264 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: They are not out of the mix to get to 265 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: the number one overall pick when this is all said 266 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 1: and done. Got the Cardinals there at too, The Giants, five, Commanders, Titans, Jets, Bucks, Chargers. Man, 267 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been shocked if you'd have told me 268 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: before the year the Chargers would have a top ten pick. 269 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: But here we are at this point in time. Interesting decision. 270 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: Rhtt. 271 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: I'll kick it over to you on this one, because 272 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: we're going to have a full spring of this discussion. 273 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 1: If the Bears end up holding a number one overall pick, 274 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: which the way Carolina has gone and firing Frank Reich, 275 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 1: it kind of looks like they're the favorite here to 276 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,959 Speaker 1: hold onto this thing. We're going to have a spring 277 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: of the Do they keep fields, do they trade fields? 278 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 1: What do they do at the quarterback position? Do they 279 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: trade one of these picks? Do they just take whoever 280 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks are that come out. We don't know those 281 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 1: names just yet. We have a pretty good idea, but 282 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: I thought it would be interesting exercise if we went 283 00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 1: back and looked at the Jets. 284 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: I think of a team that had a similar decision. 285 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 1: The Jets having Sam Donald in the fold and then 286 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,559 Speaker 1: having a top pick. They had to make the decision, right, 287 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: It was do we stick with Sam Donald going forward? 288 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: Or do we and we trade Sam Donald? Get what 289 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: you can get, and you look at the numbers side 290 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,079 Speaker 1: by side, it's not all that different when you look 291 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: at the Donald and the Justin Fields numbers, total touchdowns 292 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,559 Speaker 1: very close fifty to forty six, the giveaways Donald a 293 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: little bit higher there, the passer ratings somewhat comparable, But 294 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: that was a decision that Jets had to make. We 295 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: know what they did and how it worked out. What's 296 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: your early take on the Bears here. 297 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: Well, I think also you know, you throw the rushing 298 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: numbers in there for Justin Fields, and that that that 299 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 4: you know that look in that comparison with with Donald 300 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 4: probably takes on a different shape. Although it was total 301 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: touchdowns also, and they're not just passing touchdowns. It tells 302 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 4: you that Darnall found a little bit more success through 303 00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:55,280 Speaker 4: the air than Justin Fields has in those few years. 304 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 4: I think he's done a better job at taking care 305 00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,839 Speaker 4: of the football in the last few weeks and he 306 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 4: hasn't thrown an interception and in his time back since 307 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 4: the injury. But you know, those first couple of weeks, 308 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 4: I mean, it was it was ugly, right, and so 309 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 4: I appreciate the fact that they they've found a way 310 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: to limit that a little bit while still keeping some 311 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: of what makes him dangerous in the game. 312 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 5: Plan. 313 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: I think he's found a really nice connection with Cole 314 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 4: Command and Dj Moore. Now does that show you enough 315 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,199 Speaker 4: that all right? If we add another piece with one 316 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 4: of those high draft picks. Shoot, if we get Marvin Harrison, 317 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: you kidd me, you know, bring him back, bring the 318 00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 4: Buckeyes back together down there in Chicago. Like, do we 319 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 4: see Justin Fields take another step at another level? I 320 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 4: think that's something that you know, you also that we're 321 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 4: always going to be just a little bit behind on 322 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: because we're not seeing it every day in practice, not 323 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: seeing that tape every day in practice. Well, you know, 324 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: we're seeing the games, and obviously that's a big piece 325 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,840 Speaker 4: of it. But you know how the Bears view his 326 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: daily weekly and you know, monthly improvement this season obviously 327 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 4: plays a huge role in what they're going to do 328 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 4: at the quarterback spot. Because at this point, Bucky, what 329 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 4: are we looking at if you try to put Justin 330 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 4: Fields on the block. 331 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 5: You think, is it is a team gonna give you 332 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 5: a first round er? I'm probably not. I mean, you're 333 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 5: probably looking at what a Day two pick at this point? 334 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 5: If you yeah, go ahead, days. 335 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on. Well I'm 336 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 1: gonna tell you exactly. If we're going to the Donald comparison. 337 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 1: Donald went for a this year six and next year's 338 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 1: two and a four, So a combination of a two 339 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: of four and a six. And you remember, because the 340 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 1: Montes sweat trade, they don't have a two, So you 341 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: recoup a two, you get a four. 342 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 2: And a six. 343 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: That's I mean, And we could argue, I mean, Buck, 344 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: you give me your opinion on this. Do you get 345 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: more than they got for Sam Donald? I think that 346 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 1: was a pretty nice return at that point in time. 347 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 1: I agree, Yeah, So you think about the return. 348 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 3: So you're talking about three picks, three picks to continue 349 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 3: to help you fortify the roster. As a draft d 350 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 3: A guy who leans in the draft rampos is probably 351 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 3: going to lean towards maybe moving on from justin fields. 352 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 3: The real debate comes from this justin fields versus whichever 353 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 3: quarterback comes out and let's just say uh for conversations. 354 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 3: Standpoint Kayleb Williams and Drake may come out is being 355 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,120 Speaker 3: able to look at justin fields where he was and 356 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: where he is now versus what's behind door number one 357 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 3: and door number two. The one thing that we don't 358 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: know is We've been excited about quarterback classes the last 359 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 3: three years, but we really haven't seen many of those 360 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,040 Speaker 3: guys pop like we anticipated when we were doing the 361 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 3: draft thing? Does that cloud the evaluation when the Bears 362 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 3: are thinking about, Okay, here's what we know, what we have, 363 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: here's what we're. 364 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 6: Hoping to get. 365 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,760 Speaker 3: What is more likely to continue to play at the 366 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 3: level that we need for our team to get back 367 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 3: into playoff contention. 368 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,480 Speaker 2: That's a hard thing. 369 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 3: Because there's so many unknowns when it comes to not 370 00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: only justin fields, but what this quarterback class is really 371 00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 3: going to bring down the line. 372 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: Well, I think there's also an unknown DJ. I know 373 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 4: we're to get to the Kyler Murray case, which is 374 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 4: kind of similar here as the Cardinals prepare their draft plans, 375 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: but they're more solidified and what they're going to do 376 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 4: with their coaching structure, right, Like, do we know do 377 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 4: we feel like we know what the Bears are going 378 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: to do with Matt Eberfah and Luke Getzi in that 379 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 4: crew there? I know it's it's been early in that 380 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: tenuere but still, I mean, you know, we just saw 381 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 4: Frank Reich, you know, go out the door after eleven 382 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 4: games so. 383 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 5: Early, and I don't know is really a factor in 384 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: this thing. So if you have an. 385 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 4: Opportunity to recreate a coaching staff and then draft you know, 386 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 4: a player who you believe will be a franchise changer 387 00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 4: and let those two, you know, grow together, that might 388 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: be too hard for Poles to pass up. 389 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I want to get to Arizona, though, if we change, 390 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: let's still just mention them. 391 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: Look at these Listen to these assets. 392 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: Right now draft takes place, the Arizona Cardinals are picking two, 393 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 1: they're picking seventeen thirty four, and then in the third 394 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 1: round they're picking sixty six, seventy. 395 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 2: Two, eighty one. They've got three threes. 396 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 5: They got two twenty and the three threes. 397 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,200 Speaker 1: They've got two fours, two fives, A six and three. 398 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: I mean they have three steps. They have a bazillion picks. 399 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 1: And with Kyler Murray, he's not I mean they're committed. 400 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: They're going forward with Kyle Murray. The numbers here, we 401 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: have research. 402 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 2: Pull it up. It's like, what is it. 403 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 1: It's eighty one point five million in dead money in 404 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: twenty fourth they cut him forty six million. 405 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:08,440 Speaker 2: If they treat. 406 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: Him, you stay committed to him and then Buck. Right 407 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: now you've got the number two pick. I mean, well, 408 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 1: this is a way early draftscuession. We could go along 409 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: ways on this, but I mean Marvin Harrison junior Buck 410 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: in a comparison that I had when I watched him 411 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: to Larry Fitzgerald, You get your Larry Fitzgerald with the 412 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: second pick, or you could auction it off if you 413 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: wanted to. In a perfect scenario, the team that picks three, 414 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: you could you could try and negotiate and get a 415 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,919 Speaker 1: little something to slide down one pick. If they're going 416 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: to take the quarterbacks, Say it's the Patriots and we 417 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: know they need a quarterback. Maybe you even get an 418 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,000 Speaker 1: extra pick or two. But of all the teams in 419 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 1: this draft, as great as it is, the Bears are 420 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 1: picking one and four. The Arizona Cardinals, already knowing that 421 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: we believe they're committed to Kyler Murray, they have the 422 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: most advantageous position in the entire draft. 423 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, the Cardinals have a lot that they can do, 424 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 3: a lot that they can work with fulling on board 425 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 3: with them bringing Kyler murrayback. He's played better sentence, he's 426 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:08,000 Speaker 3: return he appears to have kind of ingratiated himself to 427 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,160 Speaker 3: his teammates in terms of showing a better attitude around 428 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 3: the locker room and those things. If you have an 429 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 3: opportunity to build, and you're hoping that the draft gives 430 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 3: you what you need in terms of the needs that 431 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 3: you have match up with the strengths of the draft, 432 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,719 Speaker 3: and so you not only talk about a Marvin Harrison 433 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 3: junior a playmaker on the outside, but being able to 434 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 3: beef up the offensive in defensive lines, which is necessary 435 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,479 Speaker 3: in a division that is one that is won by 436 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 3: the trench Warriors. The Cardinals have plenty of picks to 437 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 3: be able to do that. So this is an opportunity 438 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: for them to dig in the draft. And we saw 439 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 3: how the turnarounds happened in Seattle when they went all 440 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 3: in on the young players, hit on their picks and 441 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 3: then put them right back in the tournament. Theirs on 442 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 3: the Cardinals will have an opportunity to orchestrate a similar 443 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,040 Speaker 3: turnaround if they get it right on draft deck. 444 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, and it does make a lot of sense to, 445 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 4: you know, to kind of run this back here. Look, Kyler, 446 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,639 Speaker 4: I think probably had his worst game out of the 447 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 4: three since he's been back. I thought he made that 448 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 4: team dangerous again, and again that team still has a 449 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 4: lot of room to grow in terms of overall talent, 450 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 4: you know, on the offensive side, especially on the defensive side. 451 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 5: So you use some of that. 452 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 4: Draft capital to help supplement a player we've seen lead 453 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 4: this team, you know within a breath of the postseason. Man, 454 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 4: it feels like they've got some good young coaching there too, 455 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,840 Speaker 4: that that's kind of tried to get the most out 456 00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,359 Speaker 4: of players like a Josh Dobbs, who made that that 457 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,679 Speaker 4: offense competitive in every game they played, you know, for 458 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: the most part this season. I think that that could 459 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,879 Speaker 4: go a long way. And you've probably and from all 460 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,400 Speaker 4: the reports right that we've heard, like Kyler's been terrific 461 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 4: with this new staff seems to really like him. And 462 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: then there's a lot of good back and forth there 463 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 4: that could be pretty dangerous in that NFC West if 464 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: they're able to really maximize all those draft assets. 465 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: DJ. 466 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, And you know, look, we talked about a mixture 467 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,120 Speaker 1: of young and old, right, There's you got three third 468 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,040 Speaker 1: round pick. Do you easily spend one of those off 469 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: for a veteran player that you like, You know, you 470 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: have the room to squeez him in underr salary. There's 471 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 1: a lot of different things they can do. A ton 472 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 1: of flexibility here for the Arizona Cardinals. In fact, in 473 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,280 Speaker 1: the spring, I think this is going to be a 474 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 1: team we spend a lot of time focusing on because 475 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: they can use the next few months to transform their 476 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: entire team. So it'll be fascinating to watch what the 477 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals do as we head towards the NFL Draft. 478 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 1: All Right, we're gonna take a little break. When we 479 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 1: come back, we are going to jump into the rookie draft. 480 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: Looks like walk hat a rebound weekend. He's back in business. 481 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 2: Baby. We'll get into that right after this. 482 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: All right. 483 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: We do this each and every week. 484 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: We have our rookie draft where we like to pick 485 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,879 Speaker 1: a quarterback, a running back, and then a pass catching weapon. 486 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 2: Solid week from me. He got six points last week 487 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 2: courtesy a. CJ. Stroud and Za Flowers. Buck had a 488 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 2: big bounce back. 489 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: All three of his guys scored, with dtr quarterback getting 490 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: the second place finish. Bjon went in the running back 491 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 1: competition tanked Dell second, and the pass catcher's Rhett he 492 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 1: got a second place finished there with Gibbs at the 493 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 1: running back spot. So I'm holding on to first place, 494 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 1: but I feel like we're a little bunched up now. 495 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:09,960 Speaker 1: It's a it's a tight race and uh and Buck, 496 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: it made up a lot of ground. So Buck made 497 00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: a great had a great week. And your reward bucket 498 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,360 Speaker 1: as you get to pick first today, buddy, congratulations. 499 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,920 Speaker 6: Oh that's easy enough. 500 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: See dat come on down? 501 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 5: Dang again. 502 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 2: I knew that that was quick. 503 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 6: We need to bed this is easy. 504 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,200 Speaker 4: Yes, that leaves me Bijeon with a huge bounce back 505 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 4: this last week with the two touchdowns, or Jamiir Gibbs, 506 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:38,119 Speaker 4: who's been on fire lately.
