Okay, he took a couple of 339 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 1: steps onto the court. Hey, you're out of the game. 340 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:58,800 Speaker 3: He's probably suspended right by a letter of the law 341 00:15:58,920 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 3: leaving the bench. 342 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, so now I don't know that he can play 343 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: on Thursday. No, he might be. I remember David Stern 344 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: did that to the Spurs in the playoffs a decade 345 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: or so ago. You know, no, this is crazy. He 346 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 1: is ready to come back Thursday. But now he steps 347 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: on the court and he gets thrown out of the game. 348 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: Hasn't played a game, but he's already been thrown out 349 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 1: of a game. 350 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 3: Participation in the game when not on the team's active list. 351 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,280 Speaker 3: That's part of it. But yeah, you're looking at coming 352 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 3: off the bench. I believe it's a it's a minimal fine, 353 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: but but I think you could lose a game if. 354 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 4: There was an altercation. Maybe, yes, he suspended. I don't 355 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 4: think he's getting suspended nobody. No, But it depends. What 356 00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: if you leave the bench during an altercation, you're automatically 357 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 4: you're creating. 358 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: There might be an automatic suspension by leaving the bench. 359 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 1: I don't for this, I'm not sure. I mean, they 360 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: might just say, look, it's the Wizards back and play. 361 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: We don't care. You know, it's not yet. Fine, it's 362 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: not gonna matter. 363 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,560 Speaker 5: Just go play. 364 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 1: It's okay, you made this game about yourself, Trey Young. 365 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: It's it's it's the way we Nobody really cares. It's fine. 366 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,200 Speaker 1: The other teams don't care. Is gonna let you play, 367 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: all right? 368 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: High fiving on his way back to the locker room 369 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 3: as funny as hell, like he gets ejected, everybody's high 370 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 3: five of them. And then he's going down as like 371 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 3: all the fans trying to get their piece, like like 372 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,479 Speaker 3: almost like they were gonna ask him for his game, hoodie. 373 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,399 Speaker 1: He hasn't played a game yet, and he gets thrown out. Now, 374 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: I will tell you this though, for for the Wizards, 375 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 1: and I'll give you I'll give you a hot take. So 376 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,720 Speaker 1: Trey Young is coming back Thursday, maybe unless he he's suspended. 377 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: Uh A D still hasn't played yet. That's gonna be 378 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: where the attention turns to next when Anthony Davis will 379 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: play next. But here's the thing. Trey Young, A d 380 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: Alex Saar is pretty good, although he's gonna miss some 381 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 1: time now, he's gonna miss some time with an injury. 382 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:49,120 Speaker 1: George is pretty good. There's worst rosters out there. It's 383 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:54,000 Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. If they keep this group together, I'll 384 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: tell you what. Next year they will probably finish middle 385 00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: of the pack in the Eastern Conference. I mean, I'm 386 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: and I feel pretty good about that. And Jordan will 387 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: come into close out games at the end. Why not 388 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: every week? And why not Trey Young. 389 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 6: And A D. 390 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,880 Speaker 1: And again, you have a couple of good young players there. 391 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: There's been worst rosters. There's teams that have way worst rosters. 392 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: If you come out in trust, you go from winning 393 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: seventeen games a year to the middle of the pack 394 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. Look at the Way and the Wizard. 395 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: We'll talk about the Wizards for the first time really 396 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,880 Speaker 1: since Jordan was there. That's how long we'll talk about 397 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: the Wizards, because the only time we talked about it 398 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 1: before that when Porzingis got traded to the Wizards. We 399 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 1: very briefly talked about it before that. I mean, you 400 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: gotta go back to that was Jordan Rip Hamilton and 401 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 1: all those guys. None of those guys liked him when 402 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: he was there. Maybe a little bit of Gilbert Arenas 403 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 1: Agent zero and the whole. But I mean it's good. 404 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: I've been telling you this Wizards team. Man, there's worst 405 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: rosters out there. Get ready, that's a spicy unless games 406 00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: keeps getting thrown out before the game starts. 407 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, as we're talking it out by by 408 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 3: the better of the rule to talk about altercations might 409 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 3: be the the factor that keeps him eligible. Hey, you're 410 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 3: forced to play. You weren't in an altercation, but I tried. 411 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 3: I tried to instigate something. 412 00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: Uh. 413 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: But for the Wizards, it's now just a question can 414 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,679 Speaker 1: you be healthy and what's the roster actually look like 415 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 1: By the time you get it, will Anthony Davis gets 416 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 1: spun off again? That's I mean, if they keep everybody 417 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 1: together and you have to worry about the two of 418 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: them high again, Yeah, because you have, Because you have 419 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: you have Saw and George, who are both pretty good. 420 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: So okay, you know these guys come I'm m I'm 421 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 1: telling you I've seen worse. Ross. That's it. That could 422 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280 Speaker 1: be a middle of the pack team. And then next 423 00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: year style, let's not get crazy. Let's not get crazy. 424 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 5: That would. 425 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: No. 426 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: Come on, man, Brunston and Giannis. Next year, forget it, man, 427 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: it's gonna be fantastic. Now they'll be they'll be ahead 428 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: of the Bucks who are trying to make it work 429 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: with Karl, Anthony Towns and Michel Bridges. But I mean, 430 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: but the Knicks. 431 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 5: Come on. 432 00:19:55,359 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: Now to the combine we go where the weekend finished. 433 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: We saw some players move up in the draft, improve 434 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: their draft stock. We saw some players maybe drop down, 435 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: potentially Caleb Downs' injury reports he has a degenerative condition 436 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: in one of his knees. Maybe he's gonna fall. But 437 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,000 Speaker 1: all the talk really has turned to the quarterbacks and 438 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,360 Speaker 1: the agents of all of these guys did their job 439 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:22,240 Speaker 1: at the combine. Agents for Kyler Murray to a tongue 440 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 1: of Ailoa, Gino Smith, Kirk Cousins, they all did their job. 441 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: Because everybody came away from the combine going I was 442 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: there and I heard this. Hey, let me pat myself 443 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 1: on the back as I got people talking about my 444 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: clients like everybody wants them, right, And you've heard different 445 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 1: reports for Kyler Murray in many places too. Of many places, 446 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: there's only a few teams in need quarterbacks. Where are 447 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: the best fits? So there's only a few places you 448 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,199 Speaker 1: can go. But if you want to talk about what 449 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: the best fits are now, because you've heard a lot 450 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: all I've heard the Jets are interested in Kyler Murray, 451 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: I've heard the you know, the Vikings want to go 452 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: in here for maybe for Gino Smith. You want the 453 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: best fits for quarterbacks, right, we'll give you a couple 454 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: right now, and we'll give you the two big ones, 455 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: the best fit for Kyler Murray. Who's gonna be let 456 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: go by the Cardinals. Look, there's not gonna be any trades. 457 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: No one's gonna take on Kyler Murray's money. No one's 458 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 1: gonna take on to his money. There's been no trade 459 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 1: talk already. And you know they're gonna eat the cash. 460 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 1: Both of these teams are gonna eat the cash because 461 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,439 Speaker 1: they want to move on. So they're both gonna be 462 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: out there. So the fact that that Kyler Murray will 463 00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: be let go by the Cardinals and he'll be out there. 464 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: His best fit is the Falcons right now. The Falcons 465 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 1: are a team that's got a strong head coach, quarterback dynamics. 466 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 1: Stefanski has done it Coach the Year twice in the NFL. 467 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: He's done it with all kinds of different quarterbacks. I 468 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: don't care that he got a C minus for his 469 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,240 Speaker 1: coaching grade last week in the NFLPA survey. Aaron Glenn 470 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: got an A and the Jets won three games. What 471 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: does that tell you? This should be a situation where 472 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: both sides should desire the other because Kyler Murray wants 473 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:53,440 Speaker 1: a chance where I can go in and I can 474 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,440 Speaker 1: take over a young team that needs that kind of leadership. 475 00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,159 Speaker 1: Because Michael Pennix Junior is simply not good and he's 476 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: not healthy, he's not flashed, he was overdrafted, and he 477 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 1: can't stay on the field. Right Those are two combinations 478 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,360 Speaker 1: that aren't gonna get you anywhere. You're not gonna get 479 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: another quarterback somewhere in the draft because you were nine 480 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,680 Speaker 1: to eight. Where you're gonna go get somebody, You're gonna 481 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 1: get Kyler Murray. Murray needs to go somewhere where he's 482 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: not the de facto leader of the organization. Because when 483 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 1: you get drafted number one overall and you go through 484 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:25,160 Speaker 1: so many regime changes, guess what you think. I don't 485 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: need to be beholden to anybody because I'm the franchise, 486 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 1: kind of like Luca and Dallas. I don't need to 487 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: beholden to anybody. I'm the franchise. Well, now you have 488 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:33,919 Speaker 1: to work out it again. You have to work your 489 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 1: way to get the starting quarterback job away from Michael Pennox, 490 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 1: who may not be healthy enough to get it. This 491 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: is the chance for you. This should be where Kyler 492 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: Murray says, that's where I want to go. A young 493 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: team with a great run, the best running back in 494 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: the NFL, with a with a tight end that finally 495 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 1: broke through a bit last year with Kyle Pitts. You 496 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 1: have a couple of pretty good receivers there. Drake London's 497 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: pretty good. So you and you already not like you're 498 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: joining a team that's terrible. You're joining a team in 499 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 1: a bad division that won nine games that maybe was 500 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: a break or two here from actually winning the division 501 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 1: going onto the playoffs. That's where he should want to go. 502 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: That young energy in Atlanta with the Falcons needing that quarterback, 503 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: the mobile quarterback who can get out there and make 504 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 1: plays outside the pocket. Yes, he's a risk, but he 505 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: wouldn't be available if he wasn't a risk. That's the 506 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: matchup that's made. Both sides should really want the other. 507 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the fun part of it with Stefanski, the 508 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:27,520 Speaker 3: reputation of the history, this latest NFLPA great aside. It's 509 00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 3: here in Cleveland, So we grew take it all with 510 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:34,199 Speaker 3: a great assault in terms of that opportunity, because, like 511 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: he was in a tough situation when you're talking about 512 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 3: the quarterback position and how that roster was assembled, good 513 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 3: defense and everything else. Here in Atlanta Rising Defense, they'd 514 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 3: invested a lot on that side of the ball the 515 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: last couple of years. Even though they did give up 516 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 3: some giant chunks over the course of the run final 517 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 3: month of the season, acquitted themselves pretty well, winners of 518 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 3: four straight to close things out. Pennix multiple injuries, Who 519 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 3: knows if he gets his opportunity back. Most of the 520 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 3: teams you're talking about right now, you don't have that 521 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 3: level of depth of talent at the skill positions for 522 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 3: Murray to come in and be a game changer division 523 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 3: that you can go win. I just want to know 524 00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 3: how his legs are right, if he can move last, 525 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 3: if he can be at times the guy we once saw, 526 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 3: because even last year when he was playing, he was compromised. 527 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: There's no question about it. 528 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 3: And if you will eliminate that, that's what separated him 529 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 3: right getting outside the pocket, extending plays, making plays with 530 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: the talent assembled here, and the assumption that Pitts signs 531 00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 3: this one year deal and hangs around. You've got three 532 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: stars on that offense, keep building the O line, and 533 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,360 Speaker 3: you have a chance to go win that division. 534 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: Now for two, a tongue of Ailoa who's also gonna 535 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: get bought out by the Dolphins whatever they wind up doing. 536 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: Stop hop we're getting Derek carr h The best place 537 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: for two, and there's been lots of rumors for him. 538 00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: The best place for Tua is in Minnesota. He needs 539 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,119 Speaker 1: to go someplace where he can be off the radar 540 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,760 Speaker 1: for a while and get into a system that's quarterback 541 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: friendly and sort of earn his way back because Miami 542 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:23,000 Speaker 1: didn't work out the last year or two. It didn't 543 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,720 Speaker 1: go well for the team on the field, and two 544 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,200 Speaker 1: was gonna bear the brunt of that. Right when you say, oh, 545 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: Miami failed, you're not gonna blame Mike McDaniel. It's gonna 546 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,320 Speaker 1: be all look how bad Tua is. Two has got 547 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 1: to get off the radar for a bit, and Kevin 548 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,880 Speaker 1: O'Connell great quarterback, friendly offense. You know that they want 549 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,880 Speaker 1: to move on from JJ McCarthy. You know they're putting 550 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,840 Speaker 1: him out there just to say, okay, show us a 551 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: little bit more. You can't do it, and we're gonna 552 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,440 Speaker 1: go to somebody else. For Tua to go in and 553 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 1: spend the off season getting involved in the offense, not 554 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: having to worry about leading right away, going through the summer, 555 00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: and likely taking over sometime in the early fall when 556 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy is bad. That's the best thing for him. 557 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: And the thing is this offense pretty similar to what 558 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,880 Speaker 1: he had going on in Miami. He's playing in a dome, 559 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 1: so you have to worry about his lack of arm strength. 560 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 1: He found a way to make it work with Tyreek Hill. 561 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:14,400 Speaker 1: He'll find a way to make it work with Justin Jefferson. 562 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson will love the fact that people are throwing 563 00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 1: me the football again. This is awesome, So this is 564 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: an offense that will work for him, and being out 565 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,719 Speaker 1: of the spotlight for a while is kind of what 566 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: he needs. And there's not always I can say that 567 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: where hey, I just need to get back to my 568 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:32,879 Speaker 1: get back to my roots and what I do. But 569 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,200 Speaker 1: he's got to go back learn in a system and 570 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,120 Speaker 1: not get lost. Because you watch him play in Miami 571 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 1: last year or so and you go, wow, this is 572 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 1: not the same guy. The confidence isn't there, you know, 573 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: seeing the ball, throwing the ball across his body. He's 574 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 1: making throws he knows he can't make. I don't know 575 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: what that's what's going on with that. But being in 576 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 1: the friendly confines of a dome with that offense, just 577 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: hang out, learn and when you take over, you are 578 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 1: stepping into an offense that you know pretty well because 579 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: you've been in it for nine or ten months. To me, 580 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: that's where tu has gotta go. That's his best possibility 581 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 1: of success because to go somewhere else where you just 582 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: put it as the quarterback, the starter. Maybe the system 583 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 1: doesn't work, maybe you don't pick it up right away, 584 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: maybe it's too much pressure and suddenly then hey, guess 585 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:15,320 Speaker 1: what too, You're never starting again. But he goes someplace 586 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: like Minnesota, that's the best spot. Yeah. 587 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: I mean when we look at it on the grand scale, 588 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 3: while we got a lot of potential guys in this 589 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 3: game of musical chairs, there's only so many jobs right 590 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,280 Speaker 3: in terms of coming in as a starter and for 591 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,439 Speaker 3: the vikings. Justin Jefferson said the quiet part out loud, 592 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 3: the first time we've really heard his voice nationally in 593 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 3: a while, talking about the well what might have been 594 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:41,560 Speaker 3: with Sam Darnold. 595 00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 1: So it's clear he's got thoughts. 596 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 3: And we watched it body language experts that we are 597 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,359 Speaker 3: here from our catbird seats and Fox Sports Radio that 598 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:54,639 Speaker 3: we watched it with great regulators like yeah, he's looking 599 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 3: a little more frustrated as these games go on, so wishing, wanting, hoping. 600 00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 3: I don't know that it's the great under the microscope 601 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,680 Speaker 3: because to us, front and center is the guy to 602 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,439 Speaker 3: displace everybody's golden child of JJ McCarthy. A lot of 603 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 3: lovers of JJ McCarthy coming out. Some are trying to 604 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 3: do the revisionist history. 605 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 1: It's like I didn't love him. It's like, no, you did. 606 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 1: You said he was a winner. Like going to a 607 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 1: team where where the where the team will, the players 608 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:23,520 Speaker 1: will love him, and the the the situation is, hey, 609 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,359 Speaker 1: he'll be seen as an asset to take over at 610 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:28,960 Speaker 1: some point. Whereas he goes in someplace, fan basicly gonna go, 611 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: why are we signing to a he stinks? What are 612 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: we doing where? Minnesota's like, oh, now we got a 613 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: guy that we can go to and case and watching 614 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 1: McCarthy play and watching him play not well, they're gonna 615 00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 1: want to or to play even more. 616 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, But that's the point is you're bringing in a 617 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 3: four thousand yard guy and look, I I don't care 618 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: whether JJ McCarthy gets spooked by it or not. In 619 00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 3: the end, if you can't handle the competition, uh, and 620 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 3: that guy over your shoulder, just saying for the TUIs 621 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 3: side of it, coming out of the last couple of 622 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,800 Speaker 3: years where things have been a little rough, you're gonna 623 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 3: have a lot of the spotlight on you in Minnesota, 624 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 3: and you have a lot of talent around you on 625 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 3: that roster, There's no question about it.
