1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,879 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntire. 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 2: What is up Straight Fire by AM. 3 00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:20,279 Speaker 3: It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Tuesday, March eleventh. 4 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 3: I could start the show with so many different things 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 3: today because what a wild night in sport. Didn't go 6 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 3: great in college oops had two good bets and they 7 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 3: both lost in the end brutal. Even worse yet, remember 8 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,159 Speaker 3: how I got injured playing in the basketball semifinals on Sunday. 9 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 3: Had the championship game in the Old Man League on Monday, 10 00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 3: and I basically can't barely walk. So I played like 11 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 3: a total of three minutes and we lose. 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 2: Unbelievable. I killed that team twice this season. 13 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 3: I had twenty five and twenty eight and I could 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 3: do nothing, just devastating the Lakers cover in the first 15 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 3: quarter again, that's fifteen of seventeen guys first quarter covering machine. 16 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: Then they end up losing to the Nets. It's kind 17 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,080 Speaker 3: of a bad loss given me upcoming stretch. They have 18 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,480 Speaker 3: my Jets get a quarterback. But but we're starting with 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 3: a bit of a curveball, a wrinkle. 20 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 2: What the hell of the San Francisco forty nine ers 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,199 Speaker 2: doing I've. 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: Got to ask you guys, I came super close. If 23 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,600 Speaker 3: you guys have forgotten when the Jets were struggling with 24 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers and the distractions and all this nonsense. I'm 25 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 3: just I've been so fed up with them, and I 26 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 3: was looking for a new team, and I got a 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 3: buddy who's a Niners fan. 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 2: He's like, hey, come to the dark side. 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: Even Coward on air was like, why don't you start 30 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 3: liking the Niners. 31 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,199 Speaker 2: You love rock Perty. 32 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 3: I'm like, you know, they got some guys I like debo, folks. 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: What they are doing in San Francisco right now is 34 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,399 Speaker 3: an unbelievable tear down. This guy who covers the team 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 3: named cam Enman hosted the Super Bowl starting lineups for 36 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 3: Niners Chiefs, which is basically thirteen months ago, right February 37 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, thirteen months ago from that forty nine 38 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 3: Ers team, which was a juggernaut. They were favored in 39 00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,480 Speaker 3: that game. 40 00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: They should have. 41 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 3: They were in control, you know, the punt flub and 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: then it goes over time and they settle for a 43 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: field goal and of course Mahomes gets a touchdown. I 44 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: will stand by I had lost money on that on 45 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 3: the bet because I had had the Niners. 46 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 2: But I'll stand by I would make that bet again. 47 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: They are now down four starters on offense from that 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 3: Super Bowl team. You got obviously, Deebo Samuel, you got 49 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 3: your guard. Both guards are gone, and now fullback Kyle 50 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: Hughescheck was released late last night. Apparently they tried to 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 3: release him last year, but he took a pay cut 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,080 Speaker 3: to stick around, and now he's gone. He's probably gonna 53 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 3: surf for somewhere else. But he's at thirty three, you know, 54 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: getting up there in age. So four offensive starters, You're like, Oh, 55 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: that's not that big of a deal. Jay, They've lost 56 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: seven defensive starters from. 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: That team that went to the Super Bowl. 58 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 3: The only guy on the front four that's back is Bosa. 59 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 3: The only linebacker that's back is Warner. Seven defensive starters, 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 3: four on offense. And oh, by the way, the substitue 61 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 3: us are listed. Ten of those guys have been picked through. 62 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: The Niners had such a great roster that year that 63 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: everybody circled a bunch of players they want, and then 64 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: the Niners underachieve, and now the forty nine ers have 65 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 3: to part ways if people are gobbling them up. Sim 66 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: Francisco had a great team. I mean, listen, they didn't 67 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,399 Speaker 3: win a Super Bowl, so you can't call it a dynasty. 68 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 3: But I'm fairly certain they went Super Bowl lost to 69 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 3: the Chiefs. 70 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 2: Mahomes comeback. 71 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 3: Then they had the I'm fairly certain they missed the playoffs. 72 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 3: Then it was NFC Title Game loss when Perdy got 73 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 3: injured in the first quarter. Then I'm fairly certain they 74 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: lost in the Super Bowl. So I think, and Rob 75 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: you can check me on this. I think they had 76 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,360 Speaker 3: two NFC Championship Game appearances and two Super Bowl appearances 77 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: in like a five year span, and all of that 78 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 3: has basically been blown up. They took the dynamite to 79 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers roster and they are rebuilding. 80 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 2: Now here's the weird thing. 81 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 3: Is it tough to call it a rebuild when you 82 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 3: arguably the best left tackle in the game, Trent Williams, 83 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: who's thirty seven. You have an elite tight end in Kittle, 84 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: you have an elite running back in cemac Brandon and 85 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: I are just gonna be coming back from the ACL. 86 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: He was, you know, a really really good receiver two 87 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: years ago. So you've got all the pieces, So why 88 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: the rebuild. Well, they're getting long in the two defensively, 89 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,039 Speaker 3: But the real reason why the forty nine ers are 90 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 3: doing this is they are shaking up the offense. I 91 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 3: guess they believe it looks stale, it sounds like, and 92 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 3: it's early that they are not gonna have a fullback 93 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: at all, not that they moved on from uscheck and 94 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 3: they are pivoting to a different kind of offense, which 95 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 3: I don't know may surprise the league, but it's all 96 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: centered around Brock Purdy. 97 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: At least that's what it sounds like. 98 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 3: And I say that because as we record this very 99 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 3: very early in the morning of Tuesday, March eleventh, Brock 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 3: Bertie still doesn't have a deal. 101 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: And it's weird because you're starting to redconflicting reports. 102 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: Hey, forty nine ers are holding They're drawing a firm 103 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: line in the sand. They are upset with how prior 104 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: negotiation what sorry, Brandon Ayuk, and they are not rolling 105 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 3: over for players anymore, Lynch and Shanahan. They are drawing 106 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 3: a hard, hard line in the sand there they're not 107 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,599 Speaker 3: going to cross. And I wonder this Rock Purty deal 108 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 3: is going to be more fascinating than anything we've seen 109 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 3: and we saw a lot obviously, saym Darnald surfacing in 110 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 3: Seattle at the Big Aaron Rodgers will see what happens. 111 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: But my read Rob on this brock Party thing, and 112 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: I've kind of gone back and forth. I thought, Okay, 113 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: maybe he'll sign a team friendly deal because he's Rock 114 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 3: Party and if you give him, I'm just throwing out 115 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 3: a number, an even number, one hundred million guaranteed. That's 116 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: not earth shattering for a quarterback, right, and you know 117 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 3: you give him like a three plus one essentially, you 118 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: know you can get him on something to the effect 119 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 3: of forty five mill a year. 120 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 2: Maybe there's only guaranteed money for two years. 121 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,159 Speaker 3: Again, I like brock Party, but I don't know that 122 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: everyone else does. And Rob, this is the ultimate question. 123 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 3: Let's say the forty nine ers said, Brock we're not 124 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: going a penny over forty five million year taking or leading, 125 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 3: and rock Perty says few. 126 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: I'm out look around the league, Rob, who's scrambling for 127 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 2: brock Perty? 128 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: Are you asking me or is that a retory? 129 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:16,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, question, I'm asking. 130 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 3: I don't know anybody who's like, oh, we got to 131 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 3: get in the brock Purty business. 132 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 2: Let's go higher than forty five. I don't see that happen. 133 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: I mean, Seattle's got their guy, the Jets have their guy. Minnesota. 134 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 2: It sounds like they're gonna rock with McCarthy. 135 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 3: And you look around the league. Titans are probably drafting 136 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,599 Speaker 3: cam Ward Browns. Almost seems like a lockdown that they're 137 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 3: taking Shador after the Miles Garrett deal. 138 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 2: I'm looking around, where's the landing spot the New York Giants. 139 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 2: I don't know. 140 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: The Pittsburgh Steelers. I don't see that in clement weather 141 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: in Pittsburgh. I don't see a spot for party. So 142 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 3: I actually think, and I know this is crazy. I 143 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: think the forty nine ers have the leverage, don't they. 144 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:53,839 Speaker 4: I don't know how you could think that they have 145 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 4: the leverage right now when you factor in everything you 146 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,599 Speaker 4: said about what they're doing with their roster and people, 147 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 4: you know, if they heard you go on that round 148 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 4: that I say, oh, seven starters for offensive and you 149 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: know it is what It is a lot of changeover 150 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: in the NFL. When you hear the names of the 151 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: guys they let go, these are. 152 00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 2: Not just dudes. 153 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 4: These are legitimate Pro Bowl, all Pro caliber players that 154 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 4: have moved on from the Stanpatuisco forty nine ers, Deebo, 155 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 4: Samuel Javarius Ward Moore, who is a guard with offensive 156 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 4: line people don't care about that kind of stuff. Banks' 157 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 4: offensive lineman, Whufanga and Greenlaw, so four Pro Bowl type 158 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: players at least if you don't catch the offensive lineman, 159 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: three of which have all Pro potential in Diebo, Hufanga, 160 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 4: and green Law, those are all world type players. And 161 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: even still to your point without those guys, Apparently the 162 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 4: reason why they're making this kind of move is because 163 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 4: they want to pay George Kittle, who is an All 164 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 4: Pro caliber player. They want to pay Fred Warner, who 165 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 4: is an All Pro caliber player, and they want to 166 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 4: play pay Rock Party, who is an all Pro caliber player. 167 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 4: Don't let last season's disastrous season in San Francisco distract 168 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 4: you from what Brock Party did in twenty twenty three. 169 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three, Rock Party topped almost every major 170 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 4: statistical category in the NFL passer rating passing yards per attempt, 171 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 4: touchdown percentage, yards per completion QBR, fourth in completion percentage, 172 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 4: fifth in passing yards his passing yards, four and eighty 173 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 4: single season franchise record, and last I checked the forty 174 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: nine ers have a pretty decorated quarterback history in their franchise. 175 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 4: Rock Party was better than all of them statistically. You 176 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: pointed it out. They're making this shift in their team. 177 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 4: According to one report, the whole plan right now is 178 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 4: to get away from the twenty one personnel, which of 179 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: your football head to running backs, one tight end, and 180 00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 4: go into the twelve personnel, which is the one that's 181 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: really famous around the NFL. The Rams run it almost exclusively. 182 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 4: Three ride receivers, one tight end. They are building their team, 183 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 4: not just their offense, their team both schematically and financially 184 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: around brock Purty. It's why you have Diana Rossini coming 185 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: out so strong to refute a report that the first 186 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 4: offer they made to him was forty five million dollars. 187 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 4: She says said that is categorically false, that she would 188 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 4: bet whatever you want to bet on it. The tea 189 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 4: leaves suggest that number is going to start with a 190 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 4: five in front of it for brock perty Now. 191 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 3: To their point, I think the forty five came from 192 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: a certain reporter who I don't even think he's at 193 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:42,560 Speaker 3: CBS anymore. 194 00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,200 Speaker 2: Jason lacanfora Do you know him? 195 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 4: I know who he is I don't know if he's 196 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 4: still a CIB. 197 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, no, he I mean a lot of people 198 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: do not deem incredible. 199 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,079 Speaker 4: I don't. 200 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,319 Speaker 3: I haven't talked to that guy in like fifteen years, 201 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 3: but I know Jay Glazer well, and Glazers like listen 202 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 3: don't steer clear. So that forty five number she's saying 203 00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 3: is just totally bogus. 204 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and so everybody's saying it's gonna start with a 205 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 4: five in front of it. Whether it does or doesn't, 206 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: I think it's immaterial because what it comes down to 207 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 4: is all of their actions say, Brock Parties, our guy, 208 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: Brock Parties, our guy. We're building around Brock Party. He's 209 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,840 Speaker 4: the one we're gonna we're gonna go with. But to 210 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 4: your point, with the idea you floated, you know, a shorter, 211 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 4: more guaranteed money is actually something that execs have floated 212 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 4: out as well. There was a report that came out 213 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 4: maybe about a month ago and at the end of 214 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 4: at the end of January, actually it came out January thirty. 215 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 4: First NFL executives. We're talking about Brock Party and what 216 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 4: is salary structure might look like. Because everybody knows they 217 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 4: wanted to get the extension done quickly. And you want 218 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 4: to know which quarterback they used as a reference point 219 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 4: for how a Brock Party contract is going to look 220 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: Daniel Jones. Oh, both in terms of salary shtru sure 221 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 4: and in years. You recall when the Giants made that 222 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 4: offer to Daniel Jones, it was four for one sixty 223 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 4: with eighty million or eighty one million guaranteed. That means 224 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 4: the people in the know, not the reporters, not the 225 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: you know, the whatever the agents tell them. That's just 226 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 4: kind of why this this sauca gets made here. The 227 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 4: people who actually make these decisions are saying, yeah, they 228 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: like Brock Party, they're committed to Brock Party, but they 229 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 4: also don't want to be too committed to Brock Party. 230 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 4: They don't want to do the six year, three hundred 231 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 4: million type deal like that Josh Allen just got. They 232 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,120 Speaker 4: want to do a three year, four year you know, 233 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 4: we'll say we'll call it two hundred four years three 234 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 4: plus one yeah, yeah, yeah, something like that. So, on 235 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: one hand, their actions say that they are committed to 236 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 4: brock Purty, they're building their offense, they're building their team 237 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: around him. But unless that contract comes in and is 238 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 4: commiserate with what you would expect a quarterback with his 239 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 4: kind of resume. There's a lot of mixed signals coming 240 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 4: out of San Francisco right now. 241 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're in a good spot with Perdy. 242 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,679 Speaker 3: I obviously trust their head coach and the GM that 243 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 3: they'll figure it out. Defense a lot more easy to 244 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 3: replace than offense. 245 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: I this is gonna be interesting. They will probably. 246 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: Get a ton of comp picks, right I think I 247 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,920 Speaker 3: saw that they already have twelve draft picks I believe 248 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,560 Speaker 3: for this year. Now, obviously you're not going to hit 249 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 3: on half those, but if you can hit, if you 250 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 3: can get three or four starters. Remember, was it the 251 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 3: Rams rob that started two rookie quarterbacks at some point 252 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: this year? 253 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 2: So somebody was starting two rookies. 254 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: I know the Eagles did that. 255 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, they hit on everything. But yeah, all you 256 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 3: gotta do is hammer a couple of those and boom 257 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 3: you right back. But it is just interesting that the 258 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 3: Rams seem to be ascending. The Niners are getting torn down, 259 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 3: Seattle's getting torn down, but they got Sam Darnold, which 260 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 3: I don't really get to you. I think they want 261 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 3: to become a run first team the way I'm looking 262 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 3: at them. 263 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 4: Well, it's funny quickly where you mentioned the compis I 264 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: remember doing the story for the Audica Fox Sports Radio 265 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: Shameless Plug four to seven, seven to ten pm Eastern 266 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:14,280 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. Did you know that the Niners with 267 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 4: their compicks, either with the selections they made or using 268 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 4: those compics to move up and down the draft board, 269 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 4: have selected in their recent history brock Perty, Telenoah, Hufanga, 270 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: and Dre Greenlaw with compis. So few teams in the 271 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 4: NFL are better at navigating that situation than San Francisco 272 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 4: just quiet, quickly go and that's really impressive. 273 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 274 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 1: the nation. Catch all of our shows at Foxsportsradio dot 275 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: com and within the iHeartRadio app. Search FSR to listen live. 276 00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 3: We'll wait till everything's finalized here in the next two 277 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 3: weeks or week, the best players will be going. Like 278 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,960 Speaker 3: power rankings in the NFC, I think everybody had San 279 00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 3: fran at the. 280 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:58,719 Speaker 2: Top one or two coming into last year. 281 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,160 Speaker 3: Obviously the egld are gonna be good, but like I 282 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:06,280 Speaker 3: don't Washington Zeno awesome forty eight hours here. I think 283 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 3: the home run and that's also getting Deebo Samuel last 284 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:14,079 Speaker 3: week Eagles. Obviously, I don't know if the Lions have 285 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 3: done a lot. They stole DJ Reid the corner from 286 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: the Jets, who was very, very good the last couple 287 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 3: of years. I think the Rams improved. I don't particularly 288 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: know what Seattle's doing. I think Tampa's gonna be fine. 289 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 3: So I think San fran will probably be in the 290 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 3: four to sixth range. And I don't think they're a 291 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: lot for the playoffs. Rob, I don't think you could 292 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 3: say that at this point. 293 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 2: It's early. 294 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, well quickly the Lions. I think we 295 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 4: all expect them to take a step back, not because 296 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 4: the roster's not great. The roster is still great. I 297 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: mean that DJ Reid pickup they had on Monday, I 298 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: think was one of the sneaky big acquisitions of the 299 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: day one free agency. The problem is they lost both 300 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 4: their coordinators, and history says when that happens, you're gonna 301 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 4: take at least some kind of step back. Yeah. The 302 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 4: other thing is the interesting that you bring up the Eagles, 303 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 4: because the Eagles right now, I know they just want 304 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 4: Super Bowl. So it gets a little bit differ than 305 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: wapens in Francisco. They are the Niners two point zero 306 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: loaded roster, stacked up and down with talent. At some 307 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 4: point the purge is going to come. Yeah, do you 308 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 4: expect that the Eagles are gonna see what's going on 309 00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 4: with the Niners and kind of view him as a 310 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: cautionary tale and say, rather than purge the roster of 311 00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,320 Speaker 4: talent and build around a quarterback who might be good 312 00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 4: but not great. You know, as much as I'm a 313 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 4: brock purty guy, I'm never gonna say that he's in 314 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: the same category as Mahomes Alan Jackson, Right, Yeah, I 315 00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 4: think the same could be said about Jalen Hurts, even 316 00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 4: after a Super Bowl championship. I don't think anyone a 317 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 4: lot of haters out there. I don't think anyone views 318 00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 4: him in that kind of, you know range either. He's reliant, 319 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 4: like most quarterbacks, on the people and system around him. 320 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: Could you see a scenario here in two or three 321 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 4: years when the bill finally comes due because they made 322 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: basically every major player on their team the highest paid 323 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 4: in this position at one point another. 324 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, well they did the Eagles that they did lose 325 00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: their O c Kellen Moore's out in free agency. They've 326 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 3: lost Josh Sweat coming off the Ashes very good. Milton 327 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 3: Williams kind of blew up in the Super Bowl, but 328 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 3: some of that was thanks to Jalen Carter being a 329 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 3: wrecking ball and Nolan Smith coming out. 330 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 2: You got to double somebody. 331 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 3: And Milton Williams was able to eat a little bit. 332 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 3: So you lose those two guys, Obviously they lose. I 333 00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 3: think they lost three cornerbacks, Bradbury, slayh and Isaiah Rodgers. 334 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 3: So it's like you start losing a lot of players 335 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 3: that were contributed to that defense. You're right, it's tough. 336 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 3: But Jalen hurts his deal so good. Oh and they 337 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 3: lost Kenny Pickett. I don't know if you saw that. 338 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 4: Gay for dr Man. 339 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, they sent him to Cleveland, by the way, And 340 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 3: there's so much happening. I don't want to just ping around, 341 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 3: but I've lost track. When did the Miles Garrett thing happen? 342 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 2: Was that this morning. 343 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 4: Miles Garrett Sunday or Monday, Sunday, Sunday Sunday? 344 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: Okay, So we have kind of touched it. 345 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 3: The fact that they got Garrett probably Cement Shador Sanders 346 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: at two. 347 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 2: Would you agree I. 348 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 4: Would think so, because it doesn't make any sense otherwise. Yeah. 349 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, so you get the quarterback on the rookie deal. 350 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,239 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter if you're giving Garrett massive money. Then 351 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,920 Speaker 3: you see other teams like Dallas just screwing around, hasn't 352 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 3: paid Michael Parsons, the Bungles screwing around with Jamar Chase. 353 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I just look anti Yeah, you just look 354 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 3: around the league. Some teams are really poorly run. And 355 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,399 Speaker 3: now let's go to the Jets, which is a perfect pivot, 356 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 3: and they lose DJ Reid. It sounds like they're gonna 357 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 3: be done with CJ. Moseley the linebacker. They ink, sure 358 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 3: would the young kid to a longer deal. But the 359 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 3: big story is justin fields to the Jets. And you know, 360 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 3: I get all these texts from buddies and just a 361 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 3: few Jets fans. There's not many of them out there, 362 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 3: and instantly it's like the Justin field Zerr's underway, and 363 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, no, I'm not buying that. You guys 364 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 3: saw that the Steelers were interesting in fields, but they 365 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 3: didn't want to commit to him. And I think the 366 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:07,880 Speaker 3: analogy here is justin fields is like you know that 367 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: thirty something mom who just really. 368 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: Wants to get married. 369 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 3: She's like, Hey, I'm I'm at that age. I need 370 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 3: to get married. But nobody wants to commit. So the 371 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 3: first person that's willing to commit, boom, you're jumping. Like 372 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 3: Justin Fields, I think he wanted to be in Pittsburgh, 373 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: but they would not commit to him being the starter. 374 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,679 Speaker 3: The New York Jets who have no quarterback, nobody in 375 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 3: the pipeline over here. 376 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 2: We'll give you the deal thirty mil. I'll take it. 377 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,119 Speaker 3: And that's I think why Justin Fields went there. Is 378 00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: he gonna have a chance to win. 379 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 2: I don't know. 380 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: He's reunited with Garrett Wilson the uh they played together 381 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 3: at Ohio State. 382 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 2: But like you guys saw Fields last year, I don't know. 383 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 3: What kind offense are we running. You can't have him 384 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 3: drop back doing twenty five thirty times a game. That's 385 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:53,880 Speaker 3: not his game. So you do have Breiese Hall obviously 386 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,120 Speaker 3: a line line lost Morgan Moses the right tackle. He's 387 00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 3: gone to the Patriots. By the way, the New England 388 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 3: Patriots now they had the most cap space. They're having 389 00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 3: a freakin amazing month so far. Well, I don't know 390 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:08,320 Speaker 3: if we'll get to them today, but I don't know. 391 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,880 Speaker 3: I'm not very optimistic about the justin Fields News. He's, 392 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 3: you know, a great college football quarterback who I think 393 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: the and I just hate saying this because it's kind 394 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 3: of mean, but I think one of the biggest knocks 395 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 3: on him was that when he drops back, he's got 396 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 3: slow eyes. And that's what they call it the scouts. 397 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 3: He just doesn't process very quickly. And sure he can 398 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,480 Speaker 3: tuck and run and he's dangerous as hell, but is 399 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 3: he dropping back the way brock Purty is CJ. Stroud 400 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 3: young quarterbacks and identifying, Okay, this is what's going on, 401 00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 3: bing bang boom, there's my guy. 402 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 2: And there's just not any evidence of that. And you 403 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: saw him in Pittsburgh his best play, Let me just 404 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: throw it up for Pickens. 405 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 3: You know, he didn't want to throw the ball over 406 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 3: the middle of the field because there's a lot of 407 00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 3: defenders there and you can make a mistake like I 408 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 3: don't know, Rob, you know, I know there's gonna be 409 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: sacrilegious to the Jets fans listening, but your Raiders could 410 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: be in better shape this year than the Jets. 411 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,160 Speaker 2: Here's my thing. 412 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 3: I don't think that's the I don't really care that 413 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: much because we were not going anywhere with this iteration. 414 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,399 Speaker 3: I mean, we haven't gone anywhere in over a decade. 415 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 3: But you know, I guess Justin Fields is moderate. 416 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 2: He's more exciting for me than Gino Smith. 417 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 3: You know, at least I believe Fields is fun to watch. 418 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:28,520 Speaker 3: Do you think Geno Smith is fun to watch? 419 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 4: I wouldn't say fun. That's not the word I was 420 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 4: used to described by Geno Smith. And by the way, 421 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,719 Speaker 4: I take offense to you saying that they're your Jets 422 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 4: until the twenty twenty five season starts, they're still our 423 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 4: Jets that I picked them make the Super Bowl, So 424 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 4: I'm rolling with them until the starting next season. Then 425 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 4: I can pick a different name. I don't want to 426 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,800 Speaker 4: be mean to you, because you've been a long suffering 427 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: Jets fan, even longer than me being a long suffering 428 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 4: Raiders fan. We talked about this on yesterday's podcast. Justin 429 00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 4: Fields is an athlete. He has a good arm, he 430 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 4: is sturdy, he is extremely mobile, one of the best 431 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 4: running quarterbacks you know recent memory. He is a terrible quarterback. 432 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,679 Speaker 4: He cannot throw point blank period at this level. He 433 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 4: cannot throw. I'm not gonna call him Tim Tebow. He's 434 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 4: not that bad, but he cannot throw the football all right. 435 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 4: His QBR through six games as a starter last year 436 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 4: was fifty four, twentieth among all quarterbacks. To make things worse, though, 437 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,440 Speaker 4: is as the games went on and teams got more 438 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,480 Speaker 4: tape on him and that system and that offense, he 439 00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 4: got worse. Okay, his final two weeks as a starter, 440 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 4: fifty seven percent completion, threw for fewer than one hundred 441 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 4: and fifty yards in each game. I met. I said 442 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,720 Speaker 4: this down on yesterday's podcast as well. When he was 443 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 4: under center. Pittsburgh's offense twenty eighth, passing yards per game, 444 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 4: twentieth in points per game, thirty first in the league, 445 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 4: and early down pass rate thirty second in rate of 446 00:21:58,240 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: yardage via the pass. It's not just that he couldn't throw. 447 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 4: You know, the percent completing it tells you can't throw. 448 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 4: The team was telling you we're not even gonna let 449 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 4: you throw. That's how bad you are at quarterback. I 450 00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 4: don't understand what our Jets are doing right now. Say 451 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,520 Speaker 4: what you want about Aaron Rodgers, and and again he's 452 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 4: been a big topic of conversation this podcast for years now. 453 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 4: I don't know how you think it's an upgrade to 454 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 4: go from Aaron Rodgers Justin Fields. 455 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would agree it's not an upgrade. 456 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: Is it possible? Flow? 457 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:34,479 Speaker 2: Wait, is it an upgrade to go from Russell Wilson 458 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 2: last year in Pittsburgh to Aaron Rodgers? 459 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 4: Maybe? I mean it's probably more of a like. But 460 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 4: we floated this yesterday. We had the tinfoil hats on. 461 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: Were the Seattle Seahawks quiet tanking for arch Manning? Right? 462 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 4: And then they make this move for Sam Darnold, So 463 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: it suggests that they're not. Are our New York Jets 464 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:57,439 Speaker 4: quiet tanking with this move. 465 00:22:57,320 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 3: For Justin Fields, it's very likely I would say. 466 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,520 Speaker 2: That the Jets, they're just they're not playing for this year. 467 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: You know. 468 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 3: The so the new boss comes in to the office 469 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,360 Speaker 3: and he's got to assess what he's got, give them 470 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 3: a little time and then you know, chop, get the 471 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,080 Speaker 3: get rid of the deadwood. It's not all that different 472 00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: from what Elon Musk and that Doge team is doing 473 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 3: to the government. 474 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: Now. 475 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: They're taking a chainsaw. The Jets aren't taking quite a chainsaw, 476 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,800 Speaker 3: maybe a hack saw. I think the forty nine ers 477 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,160 Speaker 3: are taking a chainsaw to the roster. But the Jets 478 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,600 Speaker 3: are just doing a little chops here and there, and 479 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 3: they've got to get the guys they want and get 480 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,240 Speaker 3: some dead wood out and get a little younger and 481 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 3: save money because they've got to pay Breeze, Halls, Gardner, 482 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 3: Garrett Wilson. 483 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 2: And ideally. 484 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 3: You're competitive, you win four or five games and you 485 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: got a top five pick. 486 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: That to me is a winning season. 487 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 3: You're competitive in games, you lose thirty twenty seven every week. 488 00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 3: I'm fine with that, right, probably covering a lot of 489 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 3: spreads show showing signs of life. And then at the 490 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,560 Speaker 3: same time it's like, okay, good, we're keeping that good pick. 491 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 3: I mean again, Tennessee, they could do all the home 492 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 3: bank they want on cam Ward or they could go Shador. 493 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,960 Speaker 3: Cleveland's got to take whichever one the other doesn't want 494 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: out of Tennessee and Cleveland. So yeah, I do believe 495 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 3: the Jets will be in a good position to get 496 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 3: in the mix for arch Manning. 497 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 4: So as a Jets fan, quickly, Okay, you saw two 498 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 4: years ago the Zach Wilson experiment, Mike White. You know 499 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,920 Speaker 4: there was a couple other. They had some random guys 500 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 4: I thought were created players at quarterback. Their defense was great, 501 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 4: the offense was terrible. You say, you want to have 502 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 4: the quiet tank, five wins, competitive, but we lose most 503 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 4: of these games, develop young players. Would you be able 504 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 4: to stomach easier a team like two or three years 505 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 4: ago where the defense is phenomenal, but we're only scoring 506 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,679 Speaker 4: eleven points a game on offense? Or the offense is 507 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 4: Garre Wilson showing out, Prestols showing out, We're getting you 508 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 4: twenty three twenty four, and we're losing twenty seven to 509 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 4: twenty four. 510 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 3: Everything, Well, the problem with that is if the offense 511 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,320 Speaker 3: is showing out, then Wilson and Hall are gonna want 512 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,280 Speaker 3: to get big, big bucks. That's probably not great. I'm 513 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 3: trying to think like a front office guy. Let me 514 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 3: bounce a couple teams off you and let me know 515 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: your thoughts. So the Broncos quietly pillaged two guys from 516 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 3: the forty nine ers defense, Whu Funga and Greenlaw. I 517 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: figure they're instant starters. There's still need a cornerback too. 518 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,240 Speaker 3: They've got certain You look at the the offense, the 519 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 3: offensive line looks pretty good. 520 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 2: Uh, Rob. I don't know. Are the Broncos like a 521 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 2: sneaky threat to maybe win the division next year? 522 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040 Speaker 4: Absolutely, because there are some quality corners that I mean, 523 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 4: Darius Slay who they're looking to make a trade right now. 524 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 4: They may have a you have to cut them at 525 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:51,600 Speaker 4: some point there in Philadelphia. If you have Slay and 526 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: certain as your corners, it's not bad. It's not bad 527 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 4: at all. And and bo Nicks may not have the 528 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,880 Speaker 4: extreme upside of some of these other young quarterbacks because 529 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: it's just his physical limitations, but he can play quarterback 530 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 4: at a very high level. And and that Sean Payton system. 531 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 4: You know, Javon Ti Williams got plucked by another team. 532 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,320 Speaker 4: I think he's with Dallas now. I saw that. Yeah, 533 00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 4: he's fine, but I don't think he's irreplaceable. I think 534 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 4: Denver can easily make a run at not not just 535 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,359 Speaker 4: in the AFC, at a playoff spot. I did make 536 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 4: him rid of the division because I don't see the Chiefs. 537 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 4: It's just, you know, I know it's Zack Religiousuk about 538 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 4: him because they went what fifteen and one when they 539 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 4: played other guys, they they were you know, I guess 540 00:26:36,640 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 4: they were the worst fifteen and one team i've ever seen. 541 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and they I think they won like they were 542 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,600 Speaker 3: like ten and zero one score games, some ridiculous number 543 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 3: sense they even out. Yeah, who wins more games? Sam 544 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: Darnold and Seattle or Justin Fields of the Jets. 545 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 4: No, No, Justin Fields is a worst division. 546 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 3: Oh that's a good point. I saw Naje Harris to 547 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 3: the Charger is a kind of like that. He's the 548 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,040 Speaker 3: new thumper in place of gust the bus uh Agia. 549 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 4: Harris isn't good though, he's not great. 550 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: No, he's not JK. Dobbins, and he will split carries. 551 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 3: I would assume Zach Wilson Lands is the backup in Miami. 552 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 3: That's kind of big news. No, he's gonna play. What's 553 00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 3: what the remember when they got Mike White? Yeah, I 554 00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 3: don't know if he ever played once. Anyways, NFL has 555 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: gotten just just. 556 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,359 Speaker 2: A Bonker's week. We're still waiting on a couple of. 557 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 3: Uh decent names, and obviously the draft can change things. 558 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: But things are starting to crystallize in the in the AFC, 559 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 3: I think I think this is Buffalo Ji Rob. That's 560 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,439 Speaker 3: my early, very early read. I don't know, I'm with you. 561 00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 3: I don't the Chiefs have lost I believe two offensive linemen. 562 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 3: They're trying to convert the kid from BYU they drafted 563 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 3: high to a guard. I don't think they know what 564 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: they're doing on the offensive line. And you know the 565 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 3: Xavier Worthy story. 566 00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:00,239 Speaker 2: Can we talk about that? 567 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 4: No, he didn't. I mean it's already been it's already 568 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 4: been washed away, right because they dropped all the charges, 569 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 4: so they did. 570 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,680 Speaker 3: You know, he got arrested something. I guess he caught 571 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 3: his girlfriend cheating. Now Rob and I don't think. I 572 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 3: don't want to delve into this, but isn't Xavier Worthy 573 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 3: the guy who with his girlfriend after he was drafted 574 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 3: did the video with the hundreds and he was just 575 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 3: like peeling him off to you that, yes, and then 576 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 3: this chick goes and cheats on him and he catches her, 577 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: and I guess. 578 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 4: That what happened. Because I never got that far in 579 00:28:29,400 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 4: the story. 580 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: I don't know. 581 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know if I should put that, But 582 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,960 Speaker 3: there's other people saying that that's what happened, and they've 583 00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 3: each scrubbed their Instagram of the other. 584 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 2: Just ugly situation. 585 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 3: But you know, it is good that if he's clear 586 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 3: to that because I don't know, man on the heels 587 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,080 Speaker 3: of Rashi Rice and now this, and there's some speculation 588 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 3: that Pickens could be on the move out of Pittsburgh 589 00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 3: and Kansas City could use one, or they could just 590 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 3: take one in the first round. 591 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 4: So I'll tell you what I winn't like. As if 592 00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:02,000 Speaker 4: the Chiefs get Coop cut when he's inevitly gets released, 593 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 4: I wouldn't like that at all. 594 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: Man. 595 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 2: That's a good point. Yeah, Cooper cup very very good. 596 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 3: And we'll wrap up with Laramie Tunsell, the guy who 597 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: was wearing the gas mask and taking ball hits to 598 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: the drafting. 599 00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 2: That was so funny. 600 00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 3: Laramie Tunsell was traded to the Commanders. Commanders have rebuilt 601 00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,560 Speaker 3: their offensive line. Tunsell's gonna start at left tackle. If 602 00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: I'm CJ. Stroud, I'm like, got, what the hell are 603 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 3: we doing? We're moving on from our left tackle. 604 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 4: Now. 605 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 2: Tunsl's been up and down. 606 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: He's had some injuries, but apparently he was very well 607 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 3: liked in the locker room and a lot of the 608 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: players on the Texans were caught off guard putting stuff 609 00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:38,080 Speaker 3: on social media. 610 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: I don't know, man. 611 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,360 Speaker 3: Two years ago, Houston shocked the world with that with 612 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 3: that season, right, then they regress a little bit and 613 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,960 Speaker 3: now they trade tunsl and this is a quarterback who 614 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 3: was under duress all last season. 615 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 2: So I don't know what's going on. In Houston. 616 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: They get some a couple of draft picks, but it 617 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:57,600 Speaker 3: was really like they got I guess it was a 618 00:29:57,640 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 3: swap of a fourth rounder, and then they got two 619 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,760 Speaker 3: picks and a so no first so it's like, all right, 620 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,719 Speaker 3: I guess that's not a terrible deal for Houston. 621 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:07,640 Speaker 2: Washington's all in. 622 00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: Usually after a meteoric rise like Washington had, you don't 623 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:15,600 Speaker 3: see them load up and then it works. 624 00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: But for some reason, I think it could in Washington 625 00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 2: with Daniels. 626 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: Yeah, I really liked what Houston did with the Christian 627 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 4: Kirk trade. I thought he was a perfect Tank Dell 628 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:30,360 Speaker 4: replacement temporarily at least. But to your point, to get 629 00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:33,080 Speaker 4: rid of when you have such a poor offensive line, 630 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,360 Speaker 4: and I guess the narrative is you can't just run 631 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:36,760 Speaker 4: it back, and that's how bad they were, they had 632 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 4: to make changes. I don't think changes mean getting rid 633 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 4: of your most decorated lineman, arguably a top ten left 634 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 4: back in the league. When your quarterback was sacked fifty 635 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:49,360 Speaker 4: two times last year. Like, I don't know if that's 636 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 4: the move that I would have made. Thankfully for them, 637 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 4: they play in the AFC South, which is probably the 638 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 4: worst division in football. You know, the Colts don't know 639 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,440 Speaker 4: what they're in their quarterback. The Titans don't have a 640 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 4: quarterback right now, and I'm sure they get one. You know, 641 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:07,240 Speaker 4: the Jags, we fundamentally disagree on Trevor Lawrence, but you know, 642 00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 4: they're in a situation where they should walk into the 643 00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 4: division championship every season. But because of that, they should 644 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 4: not view it as, hey, this is our playoff entrance. 645 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 4: We're gonna get in no matter what. We'll see what happens. 646 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:23,480 Speaker 4: They should view it as, hey, we have six wins 647 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:26,719 Speaker 4: this season, like the Patriots they'd done Tom Brady, and 648 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 4: our goal should not just be to make the postseason. 649 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 4: Our goal should be first round and a bye every 650 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 4: year because we have that kind of leg up. And 651 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 4: I don't feel like the rest of the moves that 652 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 4: they've made this offseason after that Christian Kirk trade kind 653 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,160 Speaker 4: of follow that line of thinking. 654 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's a good point. 655 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,960 Speaker 3: I'm a little lower on Christian Kirk than everyone else, 656 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 3: but I digress. 657 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,400 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 658 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:54,800 Speaker 1: the nation.

And Sunday, 664 00:32:07,640 --> 00:32:10,480 Speaker 3: Okac wins, SGA goes for forty one or whatever on 665 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 3: like thirty two shotouts and everybody's, oh, MVP, blah blah blah. 666 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,920 Speaker 3: So Aaron Gordon got hurt, right, so everybody's like, oh, man, 667 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,400 Speaker 3: Nuggets are in deep trouble. They're gonna get smoked, dumb 668 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 3: No Nuggets one forty Thunder one twenty seven. The Nuggets 669 00:32:26,920 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: blitz Okac in the fourth quarter and steal the win 670 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 3: and compounding matters for Oka. Se Jalen Williams left the 671 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 3: game Jay Dubb with some kind of hip injury and 672 00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 3: did not return in the first half, and they kind 673 00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 3: of struggled without him. That being said, Uh, Jokics just 674 00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 3: a cool thirty five eighteen and eight NBD, no big deal. 675 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:50,920 Speaker 3: Rob Jamal Murray thirty four no, no Biggie uh and 676 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 3: the fraudulent Thunder and their free throw merchant SGA ball 677 00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 3: and I don't you know you when you take this 678 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,440 Speaker 3: game into it and again it's just one result in March, 679 00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 3: but these teams were clearly playing for keeps. 680 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:07,680 Speaker 2: On a back to back. 681 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,760 Speaker 3: Jokic played forty, Murray played forty, Michael Porter Junior thirty eight, 682 00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 3: Christian Brown thirty six. Like these are heavy minutes in 683 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 3: March for a game that doesn't matter. And you even 684 00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 3: look at the Lakers and I'm disappointed to Luca had 685 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 3: to play forty one minutes and take twenty six shots, 686 00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:31,400 Speaker 3: you know, Like I again, their March basketball games. 687 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 2: It's not the end of the world. 688 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 3: But what do you make of this real quick rob 689 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 3: this Brooklyn Nets win over the Lakers. 690 00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,240 Speaker 4: It was a terrible game. And I was able, thankfully 691 00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,960 Speaker 4: to watch the whole one because it was on during 692 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,600 Speaker 4: the radio show and we had all those TVs in 693 00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:47,600 Speaker 4: the studios. I can watch the whole game. The casuals 694 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,280 Speaker 4: are going to look at the box score and say, 695 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,320 Speaker 4: Luca was fine, you know, he didn't shoot the ball. Well, 696 00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:56,239 Speaker 4: we had a triple double. Luca Dodgers was terrible in 697 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 4: that game, Austin reed was getting frustrated with the refs. 698 00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 4: He was if it felt like he's not getting calls. No, 699 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: and that was the issue. He wasn't getting calls, and 700 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,120 Speaker 4: rather than trying to score, he was just kind of 701 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:11,319 Speaker 4: throwing his body into contact hoping for a whistle and 702 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,080 Speaker 4: he'd miss it every time, which is why a shooting 703 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,040 Speaker 4: was intered so low. And then he would stop and 704 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,719 Speaker 4: complain about it, and so he got to a point 705 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:21,279 Speaker 4: where his frustration level was boiling over to a point 706 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 4: where it was impacting him on the other side of 707 00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:27,120 Speaker 4: the floor. And as a result, when he's complaining, you're 708 00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,800 Speaker 4: seeing five on fours in the other direction. So either 709 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 4: he was getting back late and they would score, or 710 00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 4: he was getting back and he was so frustrated he 711 00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 4: wasn't playing good defense. On top of that, Austin Reeves, 712 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,040 Speaker 4: could I hit the red side of a barn? So 713 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 4: you wasted good shooting performances from a good Win and 714 00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,000 Speaker 4: Dave Vincent, two guys who normally can't count on to 715 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 4: have good offensive performances. So when you have a schedule 716 00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 4: like they have coming up where they got six games 717 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 4: in eight days, you know, back to backs against Denver 718 00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:57,359 Speaker 4: and Milwaukee, and you know you're lucky on a good, 719 00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 4: fully healthy game to be five hundred in a run 720 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,000 Speaker 4: like that. Now you're shorthanded the way you are. This 721 00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 4: was the game that you can't trick away. This is 722 00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:05,880 Speaker 4: one you had to have. And the way that they 723 00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,040 Speaker 4: played was so disappointing as a Lakers. 724 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:10,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, great start and poor finish, but I'm just gonna 725 00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:14,480 Speaker 3: point out, Okay, eight guys played double digit minutes. 726 00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:15,319 Speaker 2: These are some of them. 727 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:24,719 Speaker 3: Alex lenn, Gabe, Vincent, Trey, j Jemison, Jordan Goodwin. Like, 728 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,920 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, guys in a big time series Lakers, ok se, 729 00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,840 Speaker 3: Jamison ain't playing a minute. I don't think Goodwin's getting 730 00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,520 Speaker 3: in the game. And I know for sure Alex lenn 731 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:42,040 Speaker 3: is not Okay, Rui's not there, Lebron's not there, Jackson 732 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,200 Speaker 3: Hayes is not there. That's three of their top six 733 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 3: in their rotation. 734 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 4: That's their entire starting front court. 735 00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 2: That's yeah, exactly. 736 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,319 Speaker 3: And so you know when you see the Nets get 737 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,240 Speaker 3: sixteen offensive rebounds, they're like, oh, I get it. Okay, 738 00:35:55,480 --> 00:35:58,479 Speaker 3: So let's not overreact. Oh though people definitely will because 739 00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:01,959 Speaker 3: that's what they do online. It's not, and the Lakers 740 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:03,640 Speaker 3: are gonna go through some tough times here. I don't 741 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 3: think it's that big of a deal. Rob, I'm on record, 742 00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,520 Speaker 3: they are, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if Brownie 743 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,279 Speaker 3: got to start coming up, you know, cheez throw him in? 744 00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 2: Well, why not? 745 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,400 Speaker 4: I mean they might have to. The way that schedule 746 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 4: shakes out, you're gonna see. I think Luca's gonna sit 747 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,919 Speaker 4: a couple, you know. Yeah, I think it's too. When 748 00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:24,040 Speaker 4: they played Denver, I don't know. If it's the first 749 00:36:24,040 --> 00:36:25,680 Speaker 4: other thing I have back to back, they might lose 750 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 4: by forty. 751 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:27,719 Speaker 1: It's possible. 752 00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:31,600 Speaker 3: Now the Lakers are hurtling toward the four seed, in 753 00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 3: which case they would face Houston. And I'm sure you 754 00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:37,000 Speaker 3: saw Amen Thompson, the good young player. So the Rockets 755 00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,920 Speaker 3: were up like thirty, right, and they wanted him to 756 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 3: get his first or second whatever number triple double. So 757 00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:43,319 Speaker 3: they leave him in the game and then he gets injured. 758 00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: Now he's out two weeks. So like that's what's happening 759 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 3: in Houston. 760 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:47,680 Speaker 2: If you're curious, Okay. 761 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:50,800 Speaker 3: They're not a serious basketball team that's gonna threaten the Lakers. 762 00:36:51,040 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 3: That would mean the second round matchup with Okay, see, frankly, 763 00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 3: I'm not terrified of them. 764 00:36:55,880 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 2: Who would you rather face? Robb will wrap up on this, 765 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 2: who would you rather face? If you're the Lakers, everybody's healthy. 766 00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 2: Second round? Would you rather face Denver? Where they have 767 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 2: home field or home court? Or okay? See would they 768 00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,560 Speaker 2: have home court? 769 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,799 Speaker 4: Okay? See for sure? 770 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, That's all you need to know, guys, exactly. 771 00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 3: So lit'steny College basketball Championship week's gonna start heating up. 772 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: I think Wednesday is. 773 00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:17,680 Speaker 1: The big day. 774 00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,359 Speaker 3: Where there's gonna be like a billion games, and I'm 775 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:25,600 Speaker 3: trying to think who we could get on as a 776 00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:30,359 Speaker 3: Oh no, shoot, there's some good games today, Cincinnati, Oklahoma State.
