We're gonna help get you there 6 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: on that Matt's selection fasts, Ree Shipping free roadhats are 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 1: protection over ten thousand recommended installers, tier rat dot com. 8 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:28,000 Speaker 1: The way tire buying should be. I will say this 9 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 1: for the Clippers. When you have your two stars sitting 10 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:39,200 Speaker 1: on the bench, Bucky, and you're still competitive Norman pal 11 00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook, and mainly having one of the best coaches 12 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 1: in the league in ty Lou they're at least competitive 13 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: today against the Suns as they lead this game twenty 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: eight twenty three, coming to the final seconds here of 15 00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: the first quarter, Bucky, I gotta start with this because 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 1: we've got a lot of NFL Draft we're gonna get 17 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: to today. We got these NBA playoffs going on. A 18 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: little MLB talk as well. But this whole Kawhi Leonards situation. 19 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: After looking well, he was the best player on the 20 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: court the first two games in Phoenix, he dominated absolutely 21 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: dominant out there, reminding you again of the player he 22 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: can be when he actually plays in a game. But 23 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: he's out for a couple of games right now, and 24 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,800 Speaker 1: I don't I mean, if the idea of load management 25 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: was to try to make sure that he would be 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: healthy for the playoff run, and then two games in play, 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,520 Speaker 1: you know, forty minutes a night, his body just can't 28 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: take it. It sounds to me like the idea of 29 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: load management is not working in terms of what it 30 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: is intended to do. 31 00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: I mean, it's not working like as is intended. But 32 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 2: his body's breaking down. And I mean when you have 33 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,279 Speaker 2: guys who have an extensive injury history like Kawhi Leonard 34 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 2: has developed, I mean, it's hard. 35 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 3: You just can't count on it. I mean, you know, 36 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 3: I think. 37 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 2: It's irresponsible for some of the guys on our side 38 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,079 Speaker 2: that are taking shots at him. And you know, I 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: think Steven Asmith said he's the worst superstar that we've seen. 40 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 2: I mean, look, man, a guy can't help when anybody 41 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: breaks down. He's injured. He's legitimately injured. It's not something 42 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: he's like, oh I don't feel well. As doesn't appear 43 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 2: to be like a Zion Williamson thing where we're talking 44 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 2: about a hamstring, we're talking about a legitimate knee injury. 45 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 2: And obviously the way Kawhi was playing, you would like 46 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,359 Speaker 2: to think if he could go, he would go. And 47 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 2: it's just unfortunate for him that, you know, we won't 48 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: have an opportunity to see him consistently. 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,919 Speaker 3: Dazzle us like he dazzled us early in this series. 50 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 1: There's no way out of it for the Clippers. I'll 51 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 1: put it this way. So I have a friend of 52 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: mine who I've told you about. He has tickets, by 53 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: the way, anybody out there that might want tickets, season 54 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: tickets for the Clippers, how about two seats on the floor, 55 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: in fact, the two seats directly next to the visitors bench, 56 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: and the price tag for next season for those two tickets, 57 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: and you'll have full control, by the way, VIP parking, 58 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: VIP dinner every night, also VIP access the bathrooms. Okay, 59 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: three hundred and thirty six thousand dollars for the season 60 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: for two tickets. But now they're rumblings that the Clippers 61 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: may just blow this whole thing up. But then again, 62 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,679 Speaker 1: how do you blow this up? You gave up Shay Gildess, 63 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: Alexander Gallinari in five first round picks to get Paul 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 1: George because Kawhi Leonard said the only way he was 65 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: going to come to the Clippers is you make a 66 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: deal to get Paul George. Five number ones. A young 67 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: kid that averaged over thirty points a game might be 68 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: first team All NBA this year in Gallinari for Paul George, 69 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: who also can't stay on the court. There's no way 70 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: out of this. It's not like suddenly Kawhi Leonard is 71 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: going to had a law off a seventy game season 72 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 1: next year, because, as you say, he just can't seem 73 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 1: to get this body right no matter how much time 74 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: he gets off. So it's insanely for us. Imagine Bomber. 75 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: He sees that first game, right, your ninety billion dollar owner, 76 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: tenth wealthiest man on the planet, and he's seeing Kawhi 77 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: Leonard just dominating and equally dominating game two, and you're like, 78 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: all right, this is what I paid for, and now 79 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,720 Speaker 1: I can't play. And by the way, there's rumblings he 80 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 1: may not play again in this series, depending on how 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: this series goes. So I don't know, how do you 82 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: get out of this. But that's that was the deal 83 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: they signed. Kawhi Leonard wonted total control of the situation 84 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: and Steve Bomber gave it to him based on what 85 00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: he had done in Toronto and obviously previously in San Antonio. 86 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 1: And unfortunately, it doesn't look like it's gonna work the 87 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:55,239 Speaker 1: way they had hoped. 88 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: No, it's not gonna work, and it is unfortunate. But 89 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,600 Speaker 2: I mean you can, like, who can you be mad 90 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 2: at when it comes to an injury like that. I 91 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: mean it's a legitimate injury. I mean, you wish that 92 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 2: he would be able to play and do all the 93 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: things that he does because he looks. 94 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 3: Like a top five player still, you know, he just. 95 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: Has been hurt. You can't, you know, low management, low 96 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: manage your way around. It is just one of those 97 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 2: things where, I mean, it's unfortunate. You just have to 98 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: deal with it, you know, and if you blow it up, 99 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: I don't know where you go. Because this team, you 100 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 2: can see, this team could likely win a title if 101 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,480 Speaker 2: everyone is there. The problem is those guys just aren't 102 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 2: there and available. 103 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: Well, first of all, there is no blowing it up 104 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: because Kawhi Leonard's not playing anywhere else. I mean again, 105 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: he want the reason that he got this Clippers deal. 106 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: And by the way, the Clippers sit there this year 107 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: with the highest payroll in the entire NBA, paying forty 108 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 1: two point five million to Kawhi MPG each. Next year 109 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:02,799 Speaker 1: they're gonna get guaranteed for five point six million each, 110 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: and then they have a player option the following year 111 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: forty eight point eight million each. My guess is they're 112 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 1: not walking away from that money now. Again, for a 113 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: guy that's worth ninety billion dollars, this is pocket change 114 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,400 Speaker 1: for him. But I feel for Bomber. You know, you 115 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: got a great coach in Tylu. They have surrounded themselves. 116 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: I mean Norman Powell, he was never this player at UCLA. 117 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: I mean he was a good player. He saw some improvement. 118 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: But what we've seen Zubots obviously has been a pleasant 119 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: surprise for this team. And even Russell Westbrook has exceeded 120 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: expectations since he joined this team. All you need is 121 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 1: one or two of your superstars, and there they are 122 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: sitting on the bench. It just incredibly frustrated. I feel 123 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: for Bomber, I really do, because he's doing everything he can, 124 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: but he's also trying to sell the idea that they 125 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: got this brand new, two billion dollar arena, and what 126 00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: exactly am I buying? This way, I get back to 127 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: my friend. These insanely expensive floor seats. Okay, I get 128 00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: two floor seats to see who? Who am I seeing? 129 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: Hawise played less than fifty percent of the games that 130 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 1: he could have played since he joined the Clippers. That's 131 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: the guy. I want to see. That guy that I 132 00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: saw Game one and two against Phoenix. I want to 133 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: see that guy. Is he going to be out there? 134 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: Bomber is just like when he wants. 135 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: To be I mean, yeah, no. 136 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 2: It certainly putsed him in a bit of a predicament. 137 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: Like you want to see the team, and you want 138 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: to see all the two biggest stars, the biggest stars 139 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 2: of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George. Both guys have been injured. 140 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 2: Both guys have been in and out the lineup, and 141 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,040 Speaker 2: you just never know when they're going to show. 142 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: That's it. 143 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 2: When they show up, though, Man, it's magic, it's spectacular. 144 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of getting them to show up. 145 00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 2: And I don't know what they can do. Man, I'm 146 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: sure they've exhausted all the options. When it comes to 147 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 2: the training staff and what they can do, like in 148 00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: terms of the strength and conditioning program, what they can 149 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 2: do in terms of practice plans and all that is 150 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 2: just unfortunate. 151 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 4: Man. 152 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: It's just been snake bitten by the entry. 153 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: By the way, uh Clippers are leading this game thirty 154 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: two to twenty three. This is an amazing thing. Now, 155 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, as far as Paul George is concerned, he 156 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: pretty much had said on record that he wouldn't play 157 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 1: until he fell one hundred percent. So apparently if he's 158 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,000 Speaker 1: ninety five percent, he's not gonna play. But if he's 159 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: one hundred percent, he'll play, but he's not expected to 160 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: see any action in the series. We don't know right now. 161 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: With Kawhi lenn All we know from the Clippers is 162 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 1: it's up to Kawhi Lenner. When he's ready to go, 163 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: he's ready to go. I will say this for Phoenix 164 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: on the other side, because Phoenix is another team that 165 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people saying, Hey, you got Kevin Durant, 166 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: you got Chris Paul, you got Devin Booker, he got 167 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,679 Speaker 1: eight and he got all these players. I don't know, 168 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: does Kevin Durant look right to you? He's not doing 169 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 1: much in this game so far. But I mean the 170 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 1: guy that I remember, Kevin Durant, is not quite there yet. 171 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 1: Doesn't mean he couldn't show up later in the play 172 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: but all the type that Phoenix, Hey, they'll just flip 173 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: a switch once they get to the playoffs. Boom. They 174 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: got more talent than any other team in the West. 175 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: I'm not quite as sold on Phoenix as I thought 176 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: I might be going into the playoffs. 177 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 5: M No. 178 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 2: I mean, like, the one thing I worry about with 179 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: Phoenix and this series has exposed them in terms of 180 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 2: they lack the depth that you need to have to 181 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 2: be a championship. 182 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 1: So they gave it up to get d Rant. 183 00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: So you're great with the number ones, but man, any 184 00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: slight injury, any foul trouble, any sign of fatigue, they 185 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 2: don't have the ability to sustain it. So it's gonna 186 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 2: be hard because you're also leaning on a thirty year 187 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: thirty eight year old Chris Paul and old Chris Paul 188 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: trying to get it in. 189 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 3: Man, it just makes it hard. 190 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, nine minutes, zero points for Paul so far. He 191 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 1: looks every bit that thirty eight years of age. So 192 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: keep an eye on that game. Clippers playing extremely well 193 00:09:54,840 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: so far without Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading the 194 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: Son's thirty four to twenty three. Sons have twenty three 195 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: points with nine and a half minutes to go on 196 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: the first half. So you know, the idea. Nobody liked Denver, 197 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: nobody liked Memphis, nobody likes Sacramento. The top three seeds 198 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: in the West are dismissed. They said, look at the 199 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: four seed, look at the five seed, look at the 200 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 1: sixth seed, look at the seventh seed. I don't know, 201 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 1: Denver looks pretty good right now. And all those people 202 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 1: that were saying, wow, just be outrageous if you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, 203 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: if he wins another MVP award, because wow, I mean 204 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: they did you see him play yesterday? You see the 205 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: joker yesterday? 206 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah he. 207 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:48,960 Speaker 1: Why isn't this Why are we apologizing for touting how 208 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 1: great a basketball player you'll catch his? 209 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 3: Because of fatigue? 210 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 2: Because we get tired of well, we get tired of 211 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 2: we get tired of seeing the same guy stay on top. 212 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: We get tired of all of that other stuff, and 213 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 2: so that's that's what's happened. It's just fatigue, you know, 214 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: people want to see new people have opportunities for whatever reason, 215 00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:11,599 Speaker 2: you know, and it's just one of those things that 216 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 2: we're seeing. 217 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: But it doesn't really make a lot of sense. 218 00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 2: Really good player, dominant player puts people into blenda consistently. 219 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 2: We should we should celebrate those kind of guys. Twenty 220 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 2: that's what we want to see. 221 00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty eleven and twelve. Triple w yesterday for Jokich 222 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: as the Nuggets have taken total control of their series. 223 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,960 Speaker 1: I guess the Minnesota timberwells. All right, so we're going 224 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: to be going back and forth. We got a lot 225 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:34,960 Speaker 1: of NBA playoffs to talk about. We know a lot 226 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 1: of people are fully invested. And by the way, overall 227 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: the games have been good. The officiating has sucked. I 228 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 1: mean the officiating has just been horrific. I mean in 229 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 1: some of these games that I've been watching, I mean, 230 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: it has horrific. 231 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 3: But it's always going to be like that. I think some. 232 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: People, well then maybe they should change it. Buck, Yeah, 233 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: I mean, aren't you don't don't you get playoff assignments 234 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 1: by being taped as one of the best officials in 235 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: the league is not how you earn a chance to 236 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: be in the postseason. I just I'm beside myself. Some 237 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 1: of these games just atrocious. But we also have a 238 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 1: lot of NFL Draft to get to.

We 265 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: open up talking about the Kawhi Leonards situation. He is 266 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: sitting out right now. By the way, Phoenix has closed 267 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: the gap. Clippers now lead the Suns by a score 268 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 1: of thirty nine to thirty six without Paul George Kawhi Leonard. 269 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: My guy, I don't know if you saw this, but 270 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,559 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard's sister has been sentenced to life in prison 271 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: without parole for the killing of an elderly woman at 272 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: a casino Pachanga Resort casino in twenty nineteen. She and 273 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: another woman were found guilty of first degree murder, robbery, 274 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: elderly abuse, and his sister has now been sentenced to 275 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: life without the possibility of parole with the killing of 276 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: this elderly woman. So look, personal matters that's obviously extremely serious, 277 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: could be another factor. I don't know, I mean, I 278 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, The thing about Kawhi keeps everything close to 279 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: the vest I mean, he's gone through a lot of 280 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 1: trauma in his life. His father was murdered. I mean, 281 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: there's been a lot in this guy's life, and he's 282 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,520 Speaker 1: a very private individual and that's the way he's always operated. 283 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 1: But to have this come down on top of everything else, 284 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: obviously has got to be something has some effect, a 285 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,920 Speaker 1: deep effect. So I don't know, we're looking for some 286 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 1: answers right now, but I that story came out that 287 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: indeed his sister has been sentenced to life in prison 288 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: without a possibility a pro. 289 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: I mean, that's certainly tough, and that certainly could play 290 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 2: a part in, you know, some of the stuff that 291 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: he's dealing with currently. Yeah, you know, not being able 292 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 2: to play that that's something that's heavy on the mind. 293 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: Regardless of the situation, regardless of what happened, like this 294 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,640 Speaker 2: still has to impact him, you know, And so who knows, man, 295 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,800 Speaker 2: I just think everyone we just have to kind of wait, 296 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: Like we don't have enough information to really know what 297 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 2: is going on with Kawhi. 298 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 3: We can wish the best for him when it comes 299 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 3: to his health and mentally and physically, and then just 300 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 3: hope that when the game Superstar is able to turn 301 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 3: to action pretty soon. 302 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: Well, Cliver's trying to hang in there. They're tied at 303 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: forty right now. This is a course game four since 304 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: lead this series two games to one. All right, So 305 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: imagine we're going to be going back and forth between 306 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:58,040 Speaker 1: the NBA and what's happening with the NFL Draft, which 307 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 1: gets started on a Thursday.

I've been reading 313 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 1: everything you're putting out there. But this just came down 314 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: the betting nods now on what player is favored to 315 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: be the second overall pick in the draft. Now that 316 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 1: it almost seems one hundred percent that Bryce Young will 317 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: be selected by Carolinas the number one overall pick. Whether 318 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: this is the Texans holding onto the pick or trading 319 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: out to somebody else, the new favorite betting nods to 320 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: be the second overall pick in the draft Will Levis. Okay, now, 321 00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: Bucky you I've been watching a whole network. I mean, 322 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: you just go on and on and on with the 323 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: the Levis situation. By the way, wasn't Trubisky the number 324 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: two overall pick in the draft select the head of 325 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 1: Patrick Mahoms and Deshaun Watson. But okay, so why will Levis? 326 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 4: Do you? 327 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 1: First of all, if it is Will Levis, is there 328 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 1: a team out there that you're hearing about that just 329 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: is absolutely enamored with Will Levis? How did Will Levis 330 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 1: get to the point where he is now the odds 331 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: on favorite to be the second overall pick in this draft. 332 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: I mean, look, there's a nice pr campaign about Will Levis. 333 00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 2: It started when one of our counterparts, mel kiper Junior, 334 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,479 Speaker 2: started touting Will Levis last year and talked about him 335 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,199 Speaker 2: being one of the best quarterbacks. So that's certainly put 336 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: his name out there. Then you go into the season 337 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: he didn't play great. But what happens is people are 338 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 2: beginning to look at josh Allen and look at it 339 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: success that Josh Allen had coming from Wahoming with similar 340 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 2: numbers going to Buffalo, finding his way in a very creative, 341 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: offensive scheme and having success. And so when people are 342 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 2: looking at Will Levis, they're longing for what they missed 343 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 2: out on in Josh Allen. And so you're having a 344 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: lot of conversation, a lot of people talking themselves into 345 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,639 Speaker 2: the idea that Will Levis is going to be a 346 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 2: much better pro than was a collegiate. He is going 347 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: to dazzle us like Josh Allen has dazzled us in 348 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:23,640 Speaker 2: some capacity with his running skills, and that he has 349 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,440 Speaker 2: enough talent and all the other stuff to figure it out. 350 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: I am learly on doing that because I kind of 351 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,440 Speaker 2: believe that you have to be a great player in 352 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: college to eventually be great player in pros. 353 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 3: But we'll see. But that's why. 354 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 2: There's so much buzz because of the stuff that happened 355 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 2: with Josh Allen and then most recently with Jalen Hurts. 356 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 2: They're trying to bank on the person and say that 357 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 2: this person may not be the most gifted, but he's 358 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 2: gonna be tough, he's gonna be industriousness, he's gonna be 359 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 2: a hard worker, and they're gonna figure out a way 360 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: to get it done. 361 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:56,760 Speaker 1: If he is a second overall pick. I want to 362 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: go back to the Trubisky selection back in the day. 363 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 1: How did that happen? I mean, he was at North Carolina, 364 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: but he wasn't showing up on any All American teams. 365 00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: And the next thing you know, the Bears are moving 366 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 1: up in the draft to get him second overall in 367 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: a draft that also end up with Patrick Mahomes and 368 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,400 Speaker 1: Shaun Watson. How did that come down? And you see 369 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 1: any parallels to what we're seeing right now, evende will 370 00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: Levis is the second overall pick. 371 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I think I think it's interesting. 372 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: It's interesting because with mister Bisky, like they fell in 373 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 2: love with him, Ryan Pace fell in love with Mitter Whisky, 374 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,480 Speaker 2: felt like he was the face of the franchise, he 375 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: was going to be the guy, and so they fell 376 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: in love with him. 377 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 3: I would say that. 378 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: The parallels when it comes to will Levis, there's some 379 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 2: people that really look at him and hold him near 380 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: and dear to their heart in terms of being a 381 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: high end quarterback. And so the thing will be, are 382 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,639 Speaker 2: they do they have enough conviction to pour the trigger 383 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: because right now everything is speculation. When we get to Thursday, 384 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 2: now it's real, and so do you feel like Will 385 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,920 Speaker 2: Levis eventually has the stuff to eventually take down the 386 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,960 Speaker 2: Pat Mahomes and Joe Burrow, Trevor Lawrence at Justin Herbert, 387 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, and the mar Jacks, all the quarterbacks in 388 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 2: the AFC, because that's what you're building your team to do. 389 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 2: You're building your team to beat off the top teams 390 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 2: in the AFC, and to do it, you're gonna have 391 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,879 Speaker 2: to go through a gauntlet of quarterbacks. You're trying to 392 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,440 Speaker 2: ensure that your team has a quarterback that can win 393 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 2: a shootout against those guys. 394 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 1: All right, So I'm looking at your just posted rankings 395 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 1: by position right now. Yet Bryce Young at one, Yeah, 396 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 1: will Levis is the fifth rated quarterback in the STRAFT, 397 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: behind Stroud, Hooker and Richardson. So why do you think 398 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: if they're downgrading c J. Strout Because a lot of 399 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: people just felt like there was Bryce Young, CJ. Stroud, 400 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: and then a major drop off to the next level 401 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 1: of quarterback in the STRAFT. What are the concerns about 402 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: c J. Stroud Because the last time I saw him, 403 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,200 Speaker 1: he could not have looked any better against the elite 404 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: defense in the country in Georgia, and he almost pulled 405 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: off what would have been a miraculous victory in that game. 406 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 1: He look stupendous, to say the least. What are the 407 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: concerns that you're hearing about about c J. 408 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 3: Stroud A couple different things. 409 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: Each year there's one player who gets all of the blowback, 410 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: and it appears this year CJ. Stroud's year in terms 411 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: of like people have an attacked to his character. People 412 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 2: talking about as two tests and all of that other stuff. 413 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 2: So it appears that he is the one that has 414 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:32,119 Speaker 2: become the draft whipping boy at the quarterback position. I 415 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 2: can't really understand why he's dipped down when you watch 416 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,120 Speaker 2: his tape compared to the guys that we're talking about, 417 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 2: Will Lews. 418 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, even Hintonhooker, his tapic exceeds what they were 419 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:42,959 Speaker 3: able to do. 420 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 2: His performance is playmaking, his production, all of those things 421 00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,080 Speaker 2: check off the box in terms of a high end 422 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 2: bluechip player. The thing people will talk about is quiet demeanor, 423 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 2: maybe slow to trust males because you know some of 424 00:21:58,200 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: the things that have happened in his past, so it 425 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 2: takes a wow for him to kind of warm up 426 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 2: to you. And you've got to be consistent and if 427 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 2: you're consistent, and he'll reread a room and understand and 428 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: respect the consistency and put that work in in kind. 429 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 2: So a lot of this to me is do you 430 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 2: want to get to know the kid? Do you really 431 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 2: want the kid to be in your program? And if 432 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: he is in your program, how would you tweak what 433 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: you normally do t wing ames? So to me, it's 434 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 2: a lot of people overthinking it. I can't wait for 435 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 2: us to see it, and eventually he will get picked. 436 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 2: I can't wait for him to go on his revenge tour. Wow. 437 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,439 Speaker 1: All right, we got much more coming up on the draft, 438 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: including whether or not the Texa is going to hang 439 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: on to that second overall pick. But first let's find 440 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: out what's trending right now. Kevin Wire is in the house. Okay, 441 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 1: do what's going on? 442 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 7: Man? 443 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 9: You are in the thick of the NBA playoffs right now? 444 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 5: Now? 445 00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 9: Know you and I were talking before we went on 446 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,600 Speaker 9: the air, and I didn't think the Clippers had much 447 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 9: of a chance today. They were ahead for much of 448 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 9: that first half. They've got a couple of minutes left 449 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 9: to go before halftime. The Suns have retaken the lead 450 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 9: as Kevin Durant has come alive even now has fourteen points. 451 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,359 Speaker 9: It's forty six to forty two in favor of the 452 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 9: Signs about two thirteen to go before halftime. The first 453 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,280 Speaker 9: game of the day the seventy six Ers and the 454 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 9: Brooklyn Nets, the Sixers completing the sweep in four games. 455 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 9: They were down by eight at the half, but they 456 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,960 Speaker 9: end up winning the game by eight, outscoring Brooklyn by 457 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 9: sixteen points in the second half, and it looked like 458 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 9: Brooklyn would take advantage of Joel mb being out For 459 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 9: the seventy six Ers, Nick Claxton had fifteen points in 460 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 9: the first half, but you only have four points in 461 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 9: that second half as Philadelphia made the needed adjustments to 462 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,439 Speaker 9: pull away and win it and advance to the second 463 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 9: round of the playoffs. A couple of odd games coming 464 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 9: up later tonight. The Bucks and Heat will square off 465 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 9: at seven thirty in Miami. That series is tied at 466 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 9: one game apiece, and for the night cap, the second 467 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:50,920 Speaker 9: game in LA, this one between the Grizzlies and Lakers 468 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 9: is they're both looking to take a two to one 469 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 9: series lead. As for the ANHL, we had one game 470 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 9: that was supposed to get started and yes it's already 471 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 9: under They're already they're only five minutes into that first 472 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 9: period and we've already seen three goals score Golden Knights 473 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 9: ahead of the Jets two to one up in Winnipeg. 474 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 9: The rest of the slates today includes the Maple Leafs 475 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,480 Speaker 9: and Lightning. That game will get going at seven o'clock Eastern. 476 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 9: They're looking to break the one to one series time. 477 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 9: The Rangers are up to nothing on the New Jersey 478 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 9: Devil as they're trying to make it three in a 479 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 9: row as the series shifts across the Hudson River for 480 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:30,880 Speaker 9: Game three of their series, Puff dropped to that win 481 00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 9: is set for eight o'clock and the last game of 482 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 9: the night, the Avalanche and Kraken will wrap up the 483 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,360 Speaker 9: day's schedule with the biggest home playoff game in Seattle 484 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 9: history through at the very least since the Metropolitans oisted 485 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 9: the Stanley Cup over one hundred years ago. So you 486 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 9: got to imagine the atmosphere in Seattle going to be 487 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 9: electric tonight. 488 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: That go to you, guys, Yeah, a lot of people 489 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:56,160 Speaker 1: don't understand the Stanley Cup actually preceded the NHL. That's 490 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,919 Speaker 1: how long the Stanley Cup's been around, the NHL became 491 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: sort of the home of the Stanley Cup. Stanley Cup 492 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,240 Speaker 1: goes all the way back to Have you ever seen 493 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 1: Bucky the Stanley Cup, the actual Stanley Cup. 494 00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 2: I have not had opportunity to see it. I have 495 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,399 Speaker 2: not had opportunity to put my hands on it. I 496 00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 2: know it's you know, a lot of superstition when it 497 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 2: comes to that stuff. But now I'm looking forward to 498 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 2: seeing it. 499 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, when the Ducks won its first time, I saw 500 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,640 Speaker 1: the cup, and then I was on the ice both 501 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 1: times the Kings won the Cup, which is quite a ceremony. 502 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 1: Although I remember, you know, I'm in a suit, I'm 503 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,960 Speaker 1: doing television right, and I'm on the ice at then 504 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: Staple Center in both the twenty twelve and twenty fourteen 505 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,879 Speaker 1: when they clinch the Stanley Cup and you're out on 506 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 1: the ice and the cups on the ice and the 507 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,359 Speaker 1: players are, you know, passing it around everything else. By 508 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 1: the way, you don't want to touch the cup unless 509 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,399 Speaker 1: you played, you understand that, right. The other thing is 510 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:51,400 Speaker 1: is that the players celebrated in the locker room without 511 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: the media, like a private party. And get this though, 512 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 1: Bucky afterwards, I had somebody that had access to get 513 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: into that locker room after they party. There was a 514 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 1: heavy smell of beer in that there was a lot 515 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 1: of beer consumed. But it is something special. So we 516 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 1: got the NHL playoffs, Yes, we got the NBA playoffs. 517 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: We got some NBA playoff news to get to. But 518 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: we're following up right now on counting down to this 519 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,159 Speaker 1: NFL Draft, which will get underway on Thursday. So the 520 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,439 Speaker 1: second overall pick, which is right now being held by 521 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:30,679 Speaker 1: the Texans, a team that everyone just assumed was going 522 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: to take a quarterback. I imagine the fact that Will 523 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: Levis is now number one according to the odds makers 524 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,200 Speaker 1: to be the second overall pick. The number two betting 525 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: favored to be the second overall pick is an edge 526 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 1: guy not name Will Anderson, Tyree Wilson out of Texas Tech. 527 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: Hell's going on here? I mean, I thought Will Anderson 528 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: was a generational talent, is what we were hearing before 529 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: this past season, Like, even if he doesn't win the heists, 530 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: when he is the runaway best college football player in 531 00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: the country. And now you're saying, at least the odds 532 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,320 Speaker 1: makers that Tyree Wilson out of Texas Tech is going 533 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: to go ahead of Will Anderson that was going on here. 534 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 3: I mean, that's some of the stuff. 535 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 2: When you get to this and Steve, what's happening is 536 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 2: there's a bit of a market correction between the mock 537 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 2: draft market done by the media personnel and then the 538 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,919 Speaker 2: real information coming out by the scouts from the teams, 539 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 2: and so there's a divide. 540 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 3: And so whereas we. 541 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 2: May see it as guys sliding and falling, the real 542 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 2: life scouts like, now, that's where he always was when 543 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,640 Speaker 2: I finished up the season, just where I had him, 544 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 2: and so it may have taken everyone else a little 545 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 2: while to get comfortable with him being a pick at 546 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: this spot. They're going about it as business as usual, 547 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 2: like not really impacted or swayed. 548 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 3: But the outside noises are thinking. 549 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: All right, so you still we'll have Anderson one and 550 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: Tyree Wilson two on your ranking of the top five 551 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: edge guys. So if they're favoring Tyree Wilson, why what's 552 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: the difference. What does he have the Will Anderson does not. 553 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: He's more twitchy, like first EP quickness, explosion, athleticism. He 554 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 2: checks off the boxes in that capacity. He's a big 555 00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 2: body who is very, very comfortable dominating. 556 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 3: On the inside. So it's just one of these things. 557 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 2: When it comes to like Tyree Wilson, Tyree Wilson is 558 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: probably the better athlete who wins because of his superior 559 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 2: physical traits. Will Anderson is a guy that is the 560 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 2: cerebral chess master on the perimeter, using a bunch of 561 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 2: different moves to take advantage of the things that the 562 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: offense does. 563 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:50,280 Speaker 3: Both the good in their own right. 564 00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I will say 565 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: Anderson's production typically it doesn't a lot. The fact that 566 00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: he had I think thirty four and a half sacks 567 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,320 Speaker 2: sixty two tackles for loss over a two to three 568 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 2: year period, to me, that's legitimate. 569 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 3: I am fine with his protection. 570 00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 1: Well, and this is something you have to gauge, right. 571 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: You mentioned the cerebral talents of Will Anderson and his 572 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,680 Speaker 1: ability to dissect what's happening out on the field. Shouldn't 573 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:25,080 Speaker 1: that weigh as a higher evaluation meter in terms of 574 00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 1: who can succeed in the NFL as opposed to just 575 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,840 Speaker 1: sheer physical talent. 576 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:32,120 Speaker 3: I mean, all. 577 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 2: Things consider, you take it all, then you know it's 578 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 2: a very inexact science because of it, the only way 579 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 2: to know if someone can play is the plan. 580 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that it sounds corny, it sounds whatever. 581 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:45,240 Speaker 2: But the only way to know if someone really can 582 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 2: play and hinder the pressure of dealing with all the 583 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 2: things in terms of that stuff. Yeah, the only way 584 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 2: you can do it is by playing. 585 00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: You got to play. 586 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 2: You have to get experience, and that experience will eventually 587 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,960 Speaker 2: need the expertise if you are with an organization that's 588 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 2: patient enough for you to develop. 589 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,440 Speaker 1: All right, question one A, one B one A. Will 590 00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans keep the second overall pick one B? 591 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: If not the Texans, which team is most likely to 592 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: move into that slot? 593 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:15,959 Speaker 3: Uh? 594 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 2: I'm of the mind said that the Texans keep the 595 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 2: pick they take Tybreek Wilson because they feel like he's 596 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 2: the best fit for their scheme. I would say at quarterback, 597 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: like to go at twelve. I think he could be 598 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 2: another position player at twelve. Keep adding and stockpiling talent 599 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:36,720 Speaker 2: to the to the roster, and come back and get 600 00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,240 Speaker 2: one of those guys that you may deem to be 601 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:42,160 Speaker 2: I brought pretty type later on. If it's not the 602 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,960 Speaker 2: Texans there, and let's say it's the Indianapolis Colts. 603 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 3: Colts make an inner division swap. They get up to, 604 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,760 Speaker 3: you know, to pick, they can go and get you know. 605 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 2: Whoever they want, whoever they deem to be the right 606 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,360 Speaker 2: fit for the program, and then build it out from there. 607 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 2: The main thing is, it's not to pick, is to play. 608 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 2: Are you picking the right player for your situation? Because 609 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 2: once he goes in and you know, puts his name 610 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 2: on the back and goes up for minicamp, is no 611 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 2: longer the scouts player. He becomes the teams player. So 612 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,600 Speaker 2: the team has to make sure they put him in 613 00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:15,040 Speaker 2: a position to create and dominate. 614 00:31:15,600 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 1: It's just amazing because you got the Seahawks at five 615 00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,040 Speaker 1: and you got the Lions at six. Gifted those picks, 616 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,680 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, Seattle gets the pick because they 617 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: give up Russell Wilson to Denver and the Detroit gets 618 00:31:29,240 --> 00:31:32,800 Speaker 1: the pick in the Matthew Stafford deal. And both of 619 00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: them had quarterbacks that had great seasons, you know, Jane 620 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: Smith and Jared Goff. I mean, you talk about bonus 621 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 1: time for two teams that literally came out of nowhere 622 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: a year ago, surprised everyone with veteran quarterbacks that most 623 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: people had dismissed as yesterday's news man, oh Man. I mean, 624 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about Seattle and the fact that they have 625 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: all these riches and everything else. In this draft. Are 626 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: you acting a lot of activity in terms of trades 627 00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: coming up on Thursday? Are we going to see because 628 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: we talk about this all the time, but it rarely 629 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: actually happens. Is this one of those years, though, where 630 00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 1: all the buzz about teams trying to move up in 631 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: this draft and conversely teams moving down in the draft? 632 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: You think this is the area actually is going to happen. 633 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,320 Speaker 2: Not as much as we think are speculating. Normally, it's 634 00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,320 Speaker 2: the players that drive the interest when it comes to 635 00:32:30,360 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 2: the trade market, high end players that do it for 636 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 2: a long time that are very productive. Those guys kind 637 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 2: of jump to the front of the line. This year, 638 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 2: we're talking about and speculating on all the quarterbacks because 639 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:46,080 Speaker 2: we connected a bunch of quarterbacks and teams and those 640 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:48,960 Speaker 2: things throughout, But we don't know because I don't think 641 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 2: any of these quarterback like many of these quarterbacks great 642 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,400 Speaker 2: up as high as we talk about. Then when it 643 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 2: comes to my draft land, you know, some of these 644 00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 2: guys are mid to late first round pick. Some of 645 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:01,080 Speaker 2: these guys probably deserve to hear the name called. And 646 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 2: so when you think about the small number of opportunities 647 00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:07,479 Speaker 2: that are available, you just want to make sure that 648 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 2: you get it right. 649 00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,160 Speaker 3: So who knows what this looks like. 650 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,080 Speaker 2: I just know that we are talking about them as 651 00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: if they are the top five talents and they're not. 652 00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 2: There's only two guys that were confidently taking the top 653 00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 2: five at quarterback, and that's the youngest in the straw. 654 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 1: All Right, check out our podcast from last week as 655 00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:27,000 Speaker 1: Bucky broke down the AFC West and the NFC West. 656 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: Later on the next hour, we're gonna break down the 657 00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,000 Speaker 1: NFC East and the AFC East. What they're thinking is 658 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: they get ready for this NFL draft, all right. Right now, 659 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,520 Speaker 1: it's halftime and the Suns are leading the Clippers by 660 00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,280 Speaker 1: a score of forty eight to forty seven. No Kawhi 661 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,320 Speaker 1: again for the Clippers, and they're hanging in. So Clippers 662 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,680 Speaker 1: trying to even up this series at two a piece. Meanwhile, 663 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 1: the Lakers will be taking on the Memphis Grizzlies after 664 00:33:51,560 --> 00:33:56,800 Speaker 1: a catastrophically bad performance in Game two that allowed the 665 00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: Grizzlies to even up that series. What is the step 666 00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:04,840 Speaker 1: of Jah Morant for Game three. Later on today we'll 667 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:08,400 Speaker 1: have the answer. This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Hartman 668 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 1: and Bucky Brooks. This is Fox Sports Saturday. We're a 669 00:34:12,680 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: live from the tire Rag dot Com studios. So later 670 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:19,160 Speaker 1: on today, the Lakers are taken on the Memphis Grizzlies. 671 00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:20,680 Speaker 1: By the way, how about this for a little fun 672 00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: fact with the Lakers. This will be the first home 673 00:34:24,920 --> 00:34:29,359 Speaker 1: playoff game the Lakers have had a full house at 674 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: home in a decade. So think about this. So they 675 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: had six straight years they missed the playoffs. Then, of 676 00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: course they won the championship down in the Bubble in Florida, 677 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 1: so no home games there, and then the following year 678 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: they had a restriction on how many fans could actually 679 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: show up. They still had limitations on how many people 680 00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: could get into what is now called Crypto dot com arenas, 681 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319 Speaker 1: so they haven't had a full and of course last 682 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:00,200 Speaker 1: year they missed the playoffs, so they haven't. We had 683 00:35:00,200 --> 00:35:03,319 Speaker 1: a home game with a full crowd in quite a 684 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,480 Speaker 1: playoff game. I know they play in game, but the 685 00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:09,480 Speaker 1: playoff game in a long time. So they're gonna have 686 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: a full house today. The big question is is Jean 687 00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,759 Speaker 1: moranc going to be back for Game three, Bucky he 688 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,240 Speaker 1: had a full practice, So if he had a full practice, 689 00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:22,319 Speaker 1: expect to see Ja Morant in action for the Memphis Grizzlies. 690 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,480 Speaker 1: But let's get back to that game two. Lakers win 691 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:29,799 Speaker 1: Game one, Ja Morant out for Game two, and I'm 692 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,880 Speaker 1: listening to Laker pregame show and they're laughing about, Wow, 693 00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:36,120 Speaker 1: this is just sort of handed to them. I'm in 694 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:42,399 Speaker 1: a silver platter walk over. And they played their worst 695 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: game of the year, and Anthony Davis could not have 696 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:51,719 Speaker 1: been any worse, both on the offensive in the defensive ends. 697 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:56,279 Speaker 1: What happened when you watch that game? What happened? And 698 00:35:56,480 --> 00:36:00,440 Speaker 1: why would a team with the experience the all of 699 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:04,560 Speaker 1: the Lakers have that kind of performance when seemingly they 700 00:36:04,600 --> 00:36:06,799 Speaker 1: had everything going their way coming into. 701 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,160 Speaker 3: The game despite the age and experience. 702 00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 2: Sometimes you have moments elapsed complacency sets in what and 703 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,600 Speaker 2: as a coach, you can't undo it. Like you can 704 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,239 Speaker 2: tell them, you can warn if you can say you, guys, 705 00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:19,960 Speaker 2: we're not ready to play. You can't sleep on this 706 00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,120 Speaker 2: team just because John Muran is not playing. It doesn't 707 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:23,760 Speaker 2: matter if someone else is gonna pick up the slat 708 00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 2: sometimes they got to find out the hard way, and 709 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 2: the Lakers found out the hard way. You know, when 710 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:31,319 Speaker 2: all the conversation and being aye, the Lakers figured it out. 711 00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,839 Speaker 2: They're ready to go back to the finals, thinking this 712 00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,799 Speaker 2: and that, and you know players hear that stuff, and 713 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 2: so they think they can sometimes skip steps. You know, 714 00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,360 Speaker 2: they're just gonna roll to the championship and all they 715 00:36:41,400 --> 00:36:42,839 Speaker 2: gotta do is win the Super Bowl in a couple 716 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,719 Speaker 2: of weeks, and that's how it's going to be. It's 717 00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:46,640 Speaker 2: going great, be for a great speech and all that 718 00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 2: other stuff. But the reality of it is they didn't 719 00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 2: play well. And now you're in a one to one situation, 720 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,480 Speaker 2: a game where your favor but you got to come 721 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 2: through and deliver because if you go down, you go 722 00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:01,840 Speaker 2: down three to one, it's gonna be difficult circumstances to 723 00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 2: navigate to climb back up to the top. 724 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:03,920 Speaker 4: Now. 725 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,720 Speaker 1: I know that Anthony and Davis got hit in the eye, 726 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,919 Speaker 1: sort of on the eye, but I mean at one 727 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 1: point he was one for nine, shooting one for nine. 728 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: He had a hard time holding on the basketball. Yeah, 729 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: well are you are? Are you an Anthony Davis fan? 730 00:37:21,160 --> 00:37:23,359 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy was selected in the all time 731 00:37:23,440 --> 00:37:26,440 Speaker 1: seventy five player team. He has all the accolades and 732 00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: everything else, but there are times when he can completely 733 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: dominate a game where you're watching him both at the 734 00:37:34,080 --> 00:37:36,759 Speaker 1: offensive end and defensive end, where he seems to have 735 00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,200 Speaker 1: no peer as a big man, and then he goes, 736 00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:43,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna use the word soft. He just doesn't seem 737 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:46,760 Speaker 1: to have that same drive, and all of a sudden, 738 00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: there are periods of time to course of the game 739 00:37:48,719 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 1: where he seems to be tentative. He's not really going 740 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: up with force to the rim because there's really nobody 741 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,960 Speaker 1: that can guard him when he's around the basket. And 742 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:00,399 Speaker 1: then the state it was like a layup drill for 743 00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:03,880 Speaker 1: the Memphis Grizzlies the other night, one layup after another. 744 00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:07,440 Speaker 1: Where's the rim protection? I was just blown to, well, 745 00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:08,960 Speaker 1: where do you stand with Anthony Davis? 746 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,640 Speaker 2: Very talented player, a player who's certainly worthy of being 747 00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,279 Speaker 2: and the discussion of being the top five player when 748 00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,640 Speaker 2: he's healthy. He just hasn't been healthy enough. And so 749 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,080 Speaker 2: the thing that frustrates you about Anthony Davis is what 750 00:38:22,200 --> 00:38:23,920 Speaker 2: could he do to put himself in a position to 751 00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 2: be available more? Is he doing everything away from the 752 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,879 Speaker 2: court to give himself the best chance to be at 753 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,440 Speaker 2: his best in those those moments, in those games. Handful 754 00:38:33,480 --> 00:38:36,400 Speaker 2: of the games that we talk about thermosteat games we 755 00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 2: can we can tell exactly who we are based on 756 00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:41,640 Speaker 2: how we perform, who steps up, how they step up, 757 00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 2: how they performing those things. And so, yeah, this is 758 00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:48,359 Speaker 2: a tough one. Ad is a monster. But does ask 759 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:50,360 Speaker 2: you by his name because he is hurt so often? 760 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,439 Speaker 2: You may not be the number one guy. 761 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 1: By the way, earlier today the Sixers eliminated the Nets 762 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,360 Speaker 1: without embiid. That was you know again, I can understand 763 00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:03,279 Speaker 1: you're up three games to none against the Nets team. 764 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: The only reason the Nets are where they are is 765 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:07,280 Speaker 1: because the players that are no longer with the team. 766 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: So the Nets were not nearly the team that their 767 00:39:10,719 --> 00:39:14,840 Speaker 1: record would indicate, obviously after trading away Durant and Kyrie Irving. 768 00:39:15,280 --> 00:39:17,799 Speaker 1: That being said, where do you stand right now as 769 00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,520 Speaker 1: far as seating of the big three in the East, Sixers, 770 00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:24,920 Speaker 1: Celtics and Bucks. How do they stand with you? One, two, 771 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:25,719 Speaker 1: three right now? 772 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 3: M Sixers, Celtics, Bucks. 773 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:34,359 Speaker 2: I guess I would go right now, I would go 774 00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:35,920 Speaker 2: I'll still go to Bucks. 775 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 3: Then I'll go Sixers the Celtics. 776 00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:41,640 Speaker 2: I think that's a crapshoot man, whichever team shows up 777 00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,279 Speaker 2: on any given day. Like, I don't feel confident in 778 00:39:44,360 --> 00:39:46,359 Speaker 2: that pick because you could rearrange the furnishing any way 779 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 2: you want. 780 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,600 Speaker 3: But right now, that's how they am out. 781 00:39:48,680 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 1: I'm leaning Celtics a little bit here. Close Bucks series 782 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: against the Heats no walkover. That series is one to one. 783 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,799 Speaker 1: They're gonna have Game two coming out, Game three coming 784 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:03,600 Speaker 1: up later on on this afternoon. But uh, I'm leaning 785 00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 1: Celtics slightly. But again, when you have the best overall 786 00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:12,120 Speaker 1: player in the NBA, and that is Giannis entre Tecompo, 787 00:40:12,640 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 1: the Bucks are certainly capable of everything. Sixers can't be 788 00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:17,640 Speaker 1: discounted though, well wait a second, they can be. They 789 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: have doctor Rivers as their coach and he's aid choker 790 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,200 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. I'm sorry, I'm mistake there, all right. 791 00:40:22,239 --> 00:40:23,719 Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we get back to 792 00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: the NFL Draft. We're gonna look at the NFC and 793 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:30,440 Speaker 1: AFC East.

Yes we are. 838 00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:45,919 Speaker 1: You're going to give us a little preview. I want 839 00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:48,319 Speaker 1: to I want to focus in on the NFC East 840 00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 1: and then the a f C East, two very interesting divisions. 841 00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:54,160 Speaker 1: I mean, they're all interesting to people out there, but 842 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,960 Speaker 1: I want to I want to focus in on the 843 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:59,200 Speaker 1: East right now in the NFC uh and the four 844 00:42:59,239 --> 00:43:02,160 Speaker 1: teams there and what they might be thinking going into 845 00:43:02,239 --> 00:43:04,720 Speaker 1: this draft. And I want to start with the defending 846 00:43:04,840 --> 00:43:10,280 Speaker 1: NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles, a team that made a deal 847 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,479 Speaker 1: last year with the New Orleans Saints. Remember this deal, 848 00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,320 Speaker 1: buck either had all these picks that were traded around. 849 00:43:17,400 --> 00:43:20,280 Speaker 1: The Eagles had like three first round picks. They traded 850 00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,000 Speaker 1: one of them away Saints, sending up with a couple 851 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,000 Speaker 1: of number one picks. But one of the picks that 852 00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:28,360 Speaker 1: the Eagles got in exchange turns out to be the 853 00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:32,480 Speaker 1: tenth overall pick in this year's draft. So here are 854 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,920 Speaker 1: not often that you have a team coming off of 855 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,800 Speaker 1: Super Bowl appearance as the top ten pick in the draft, 856 00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:39,960 Speaker 1: but the Eagles have that. They also have their own 857 00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:44,040 Speaker 1: pick at number thirty. So you could say, rich get richer? 858 00:43:44,400 --> 00:43:46,439 Speaker 1: Are they thinking they're trading down? What do you think 859 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,840 Speaker 1: the Eagles strategy is going into this NFL draft? 860 00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,239 Speaker 2: Well, the Richard always gets richer, and one of the 861 00:43:52,280 --> 00:43:55,480 Speaker 2: things that the Eagles have done is they've always invested 862 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,760 Speaker 2: in the front line. They are a team that pours 863 00:43:57,920 --> 00:44:01,480 Speaker 2: resources top picks into the offense line. In the defensive line, 864 00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:03,120 Speaker 2: I would expect them to do more of the same, 865 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,319 Speaker 2: lifting them to grab a big defensive a big defensive line, 866 00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,359 Speaker 2: and an edge rusher if he's there, one of their 867 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 2: liking or someone that can be the air apparent to 868 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 2: Lane Johnson at right tackle. As much as I would 869 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,279 Speaker 2: love to see them take a Bjon Robinson, a big 870 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,840 Speaker 2: running back, if he's there, that's not their m O. 871 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,399 Speaker 2: So I would think offensive a defensive line is where 872 00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 2: the Eagles go. 873 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, because you think it's not their m O. But 874 00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:29,440 Speaker 1: I mean the Eagles are a running team and B. 875 00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:32,200 Speaker 1: John Robinson is that special running back. I know you 876 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,600 Speaker 1: think he is tenth overall too high is what you're 877 00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:38,160 Speaker 1: thinking then for a running back like that, any running back. 878 00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,799 Speaker 2: No, I don't think it's too high. I just don't 879 00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,799 Speaker 2: think they will make a move. I think if we're 880 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:45,800 Speaker 2: thinking about the team that could do it, maybe the 881 00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,040 Speaker 2: Atlanta Falcons, that eight could be the place where we 882 00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 2: see a running back go. 883 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:52,040 Speaker 1: By the way, the Eagles have two first A second 884 00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:54,200 Speaker 1: or third. They have no fourth, no fifth, no six, 885 00:44:54,320 --> 00:44:57,399 Speaker 1: so their pix will be for the top ninety four 886 00:44:57,480 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 1: and then they will sit back for quite a while 887 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,360 Speaker 1: to watch how things unfold. All right, I want to 888 00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:06,959 Speaker 1: go to the Washington Commanders. We're still awaiting official word 889 00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,240 Speaker 1: on the sale of the team Josh Harris's group, of course, 890 00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:14,239 Speaker 1: with the six point five billion dollar offer that the 891 00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: Snyders accepted, but it was non exclusive, meaning there's still 892 00:45:17,880 --> 00:45:20,320 Speaker 1: a team or somebody. It's not going to be Jeff Bezos. 893 00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:23,520 Speaker 1: Apparently they get sneak in and try to wriggle it away. 894 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,919 Speaker 1: But it seems like by the end of May that 895 00:45:27,280 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 1: sale of the team will be complete. So the Commanders 896 00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:36,319 Speaker 1: have a fully loaded draft of first, second, third, fourth, fifth, couple, 897 00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: sixth and a seventh. We've seen, obviously some wholesale changes 898 00:45:40,719 --> 00:45:46,560 Speaker 1: with the Broncos organization with new ownership there. What would 899 00:45:46,600 --> 00:45:50,320 Speaker 1: your approach be as a new ownership group as you 900 00:45:50,320 --> 00:45:52,759 Speaker 1: would get ready for this draft? Although you're not in 901 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 1: the draft right now. By the way, how's this working 902 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:59,360 Speaker 1: right now because technically Snyder is still running the organization. 903 00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't this seem a little awkward in this draft that 904 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:08,520 Speaker 1: you have the outgoing ownership still in charge at this point. 905 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,160 Speaker 2: I mean ownerships has to be in charge to you 906 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,840 Speaker 2: have the official transfer. Maybe you've had some conversations in 907 00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,880 Speaker 2: those things. I think everyone in the building still has 908 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:19,680 Speaker 2: to do what's in the best interests of the franchise 909 00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:23,120 Speaker 2: for the long term. And if you're the executive team, 910 00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,400 Speaker 2: meaning you're Martin Mayhew and Ron Rivera and those guys, 911 00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 2: you want to impress new ownership, and so you want 912 00:46:28,760 --> 00:46:30,000 Speaker 2: to make sure you get this right. You want to 913 00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,800 Speaker 2: knock this draft out the park to give yourself a 914 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,920 Speaker 2: chance to stay around because ownership is watching, and so 915 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:37,560 Speaker 2: this has to be one that you approach it just 916 00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,120 Speaker 2: like as if Daniel Sneyder was going to continue to 917 00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 2: run it. 918 00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a challenging set. 919 00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:46,279 Speaker 2: Of circumstances to say the least, but it's one that look, 920 00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 2: you got to be a professional. 921 00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:47,839 Speaker 3: You need to do your job. 922 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:48,960 Speaker 2: You need to do your job to the best of 923 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,839 Speaker 2: your ability so you can continue to have your job. 924 00:46:51,960 --> 00:46:53,880 Speaker 1: Well, the first pick for the Commanders, right in the 925 00:46:53,920 --> 00:46:58,120 Speaker 1: middle of the draft at number sixteen in that first round, 926 00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,080 Speaker 1: what is their quarterback position look like? Moving on to 927 00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:05,080 Speaker 1: the future, right now, Are they just looking at best 928 00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:06,680 Speaker 1: player on the board. How do you think they're going 929 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: to operate in that first pick. 930 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:10,360 Speaker 3: Well, I mean there are a few different ways they 931 00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,200 Speaker 3: can go. I mean, they have needs on defense in 932 00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:14,920 Speaker 3: the secondary. 933 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 2: They feel good about Sam how that shouldn't preclude them 934 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,000 Speaker 2: from taking a quarterback. But they are different ways that 935 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:23,440 Speaker 2: you can get the quarterback that you want. I think 936 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,080 Speaker 2: they just have to take the best play available. This 937 00:47:25,200 --> 00:47:26,719 Speaker 2: in the middle of the first round. This is kind 938 00:47:26,719 --> 00:47:28,799 Speaker 2: of a wonky draft. There's gonna be a really good 939 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,520 Speaker 2: player that falls to them. They have to be ready 940 00:47:31,520 --> 00:47:35,560 Speaker 2: to move when some of this craziness takes place in 941 00:47:35,600 --> 00:47:38,320 Speaker 2: front of them and really target getting a blue chip player, 942 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 2: someone that can come in and make an immediate impact. 943 00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:44,040 Speaker 1: The Giants, course, are a team that gave their quarterback 944 00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:48,160 Speaker 1: a huge contract. Let's start with Daniel Jones right now. 945 00:47:48,640 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 1: They gave him a huge deal and there were certainly 946 00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,080 Speaker 1: reasons to believe that he's going to get better. Didn't 947 00:47:54,080 --> 00:47:57,160 Speaker 1: show up necessarily in that playoff loss, that's for sure, 948 00:47:57,280 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: But where do you look at a ceiling for a 949 00:47:59,719 --> 00:48:05,919 Speaker 1: guy like Daniel Jones? Is he a true franchise quarterback? 950 00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:07,840 Speaker 3: No, he's not. 951 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,480 Speaker 2: An elite quarterback. He may be their franchise quarterback, but 952 00:48:10,520 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 2: he's not an elite quarterback. He's not the top five quarterback. 953 00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,840 Speaker 2: Maybe he can get into the top ten with another 954 00:48:15,880 --> 00:48:17,480 Speaker 2: side of the year. But remember we're talking about a quarterback. 955 00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 2: You're only had fifteen passing touchdowns. Like think about that. 956 00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:22,920 Speaker 2: You're talking about forty million dollars annually for a quarterback. 957 00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,719 Speaker 2: You only had fifteen touchdowns. Yes, he improved dramatically in 958 00:48:26,840 --> 00:48:29,400 Speaker 2: terms of managing the game, cutting down the turnovers, teaching, 959 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:32,200 Speaker 2: or guiding his team to the winner circle. But you 960 00:48:32,239 --> 00:48:34,319 Speaker 2: can't confidently look at the Giants and say that the 961 00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:37,400 Speaker 2: Giants win because of Daniel Jones. You say, hey, they 962 00:48:37,440 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 2: do a good job. They've managed him. They've done a 963 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:42,359 Speaker 2: good job of creating a balanced offense that allows all 964 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,600 Speaker 2: of the pieces and plays, particularly Saquon Barkley, to move 965 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,400 Speaker 2: the football up and down the field. But that offense 966 00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 2: isn't driven by Daniel Jones at this point. It's driven 967 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,000 Speaker 2: by Saquon Barkley and all the remarkable things that he's 968 00:48:54,040 --> 00:48:55,400 Speaker 2: able to do from the running back position. 969 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,200 Speaker 1: They have ten picks in the stravel, an extra fifth 970 00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 1: and two extra sevens in this strats on the back 971 00:49:01,360 --> 00:49:04,240 Speaker 1: end twenty fifth overall, pick what's going to be sitting 972 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 1: there for them to take a look at it number 973 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 1: twenty five. 974 00:49:07,360 --> 00:49:08,840 Speaker 2: So it just depends on how they want to go 975 00:49:09,320 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: about this. If they're saying Nan that we've given Daniel 976 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,440 Speaker 2: Jones the money, we need to make sure we give 977 00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: him enough weapons to help us. They made some moves 978 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:19,400 Speaker 2: in the offseason, Darren Waller coming over. They have a 979 00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:22,759 Speaker 2: handful of young receivers that they developed and resign on 980 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:25,920 Speaker 2: restricted freeging deals. But man, they still need like a 981 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,200 Speaker 2: big time ball at number one receiver, someone that can 982 00:49:28,200 --> 00:49:31,719 Speaker 2: make plays, command double team, set the table for everyone else. 983 00:49:32,360 --> 00:49:34,200 Speaker 2: And so that would be the position that I keep 984 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,600 Speaker 2: an eye on. My personal favorite from them would be 985 00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,759 Speaker 2: as Zay Flowers from Boston College because the Giants have 986 00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:43,480 Speaker 2: an affinity for Boston College players throughout history. As Jay 987 00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:46,200 Speaker 2: Flowers is something different than they have. He is a playmaker, 988 00:49:46,280 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 2: approven runner, He wins on the outside, and so I'm 989 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:53,800 Speaker 2: thinking the Giants go something that's of the offensive weapon nature. 990 00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,160 Speaker 3: But I think it could be a wide receiver. 991 00:49:55,280 --> 00:49:57,239 Speaker 1: How deep is the wide receiver class this year? 992 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,279 Speaker 2: It's solid, It is not what we have up top 993 00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,759 Speaker 2: in terms of a Jamar Chase type. But what you 994 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:06,239 Speaker 2: have a lot of good complimentary pieces. And so the 995 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:10,200 Speaker 2: complimentary pieces Kinfield roles, whether that's in the slot, whether 996 00:50:10,239 --> 00:50:13,560 Speaker 2: that's as a number two, as a vertical stretch player, 997 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:16,960 Speaker 2: they're not many what I would call number one receivers. 998 00:50:16,960 --> 00:50:18,759 Speaker 2: And so you have to go you have to go 999 00:50:18,800 --> 00:50:21,640 Speaker 2: to the store knowing what you're looking for and so 1000 00:50:21,760 --> 00:50:24,200 Speaker 2: what you want to compliment the rest of your squad 1001 00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:25,600 Speaker 2: if they do that and you have a chance to 1002 00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:26,040 Speaker 2: do it, all. 1003 00:50:26,000 --> 00:50:29,120 Speaker 1: Right, Cowboys fans, we haven't forgotten about you. Dallas Cowboys 1004 00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,040 Speaker 1: have seven picks, one in each round, and they will 1005 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:35,359 Speaker 1: get started at number twenty six. Overall, the Cowboys have 1006 00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: made some really good draft picks. They really have. I 1007 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: mean they look if you look at some of their 1008 00:50:41,680 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 1: draft picks over the last I don't know, five six years, 1009 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,759 Speaker 1: they've had a lot of hits, no questions about that, 1010 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,759 Speaker 1: Michael Parsons obviously being one of those, and even back 1011 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:55,759 Speaker 1: in the day with Dak Prescott, Ezekiel Elliott, They've made 1012 00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:00,160 Speaker 1: some good picks over the years. It just seems like 1013 00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:06,239 Speaker 1: the Eagles all of a sudden have really passed Dallas 1014 00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:10,440 Speaker 1: based on the matchup of Jalen Hurts and Dak Prescott. 1015 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:13,640 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone would have rated Jailen Hurts at 1016 00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,520 Speaker 1: a Dak Prescott a year ago, But right now I 1017 00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,240 Speaker 1: don't know anybody that would rank Dak Prescott over Jalen 1018 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 1: Hurts today. 1019 00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:23,560 Speaker 3: No, I mean, I think right now you have to 1020 00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,320 Speaker 3: say that. Okay, you have to say he's so. 1021 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:28,919 Speaker 1: And by the way, just keep in mind, no team 1022 00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:32,640 Speaker 1: is one consecutive NFC East titles since the Eagles ran 1023 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,839 Speaker 1: out four in a row from one to four, So 1024 00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:37,399 Speaker 1: it would seem like maybe the Cowboys could bounce back 1025 00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:41,160 Speaker 1: and win this division. How are they looking at this draft? 1026 00:51:42,960 --> 00:51:45,240 Speaker 3: A few the Cowboys. There are a few different things. 1027 00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:47,719 Speaker 2: You lose your tight end Dalton shows he goes to 1028 00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:51,680 Speaker 2: the Houston Texans. You want Dak Prescott to get back 1029 00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:52,160 Speaker 2: on track. 1030 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:53,440 Speaker 3: You have. 1031 00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,440 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy taking over the play call, So look at it. 1032 00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:01,680 Speaker 2: Tight end at the bottom of the first round. Someone 1033 00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:03,640 Speaker 2: that can dominate the middle of the field, someone that 1034 00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:06,000 Speaker 2: can make life easier for Ceed Lamb and Michael Gallup. 1035 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:09,200 Speaker 2: And on the perimeter, you want to be able to 1036 00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 2: maybe eventually find a running back that can replace what 1037 00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 2: you were getting from Ezekiel Elliott a few years ago. 1038 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:17,319 Speaker 2: Big physical running back that can do it downhill. Because 1039 00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:19,319 Speaker 2: you want because you want to keep Tony Pollad in 1040 00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,600 Speaker 2: the same role, because he's thrived and flourished in that role. 1041 00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:26,280 Speaker 2: You could think of adding someone on the offensive line. 1042 00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,520 Speaker 2: Tyron Smith is getting older. Yes, you drafted maybe his 1043 00:52:29,640 --> 00:52:32,640 Speaker 2: replacement last year, but you still need another body on 1044 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:34,480 Speaker 2: that front line to be able to dominate at the 1045 00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,640 Speaker 2: point of attack the way that you want. So to me, 1046 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 2: it's an offensive draft for the Cowboys. It's one where 1047 00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:41,520 Speaker 2: they have to upgrade and get that offense going. Because 1048 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:44,360 Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy knows if he's going to be the play caller, 1049 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,759 Speaker 2: he is going to be evaluated on how well not 1050 00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:49,440 Speaker 2: only the offense performs, but how far they go. If 1051 00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 2: I'm doing that, I want to make sure I get 1052 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,440 Speaker 2: everything that I can to ensure that I can get 1053 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:54,480 Speaker 2: my offense up and going. 1054 00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:57,560 Speaker 1: All right, we lay the NFC East aside. Now we 1055 00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,880 Speaker 1: move on to the AFC coming up on the side 1056 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:05,800 Speaker 1: to a tongue of Vailoa, very honest about his own condition. 1057 00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,279 Speaker 1: How does that weigh into the future and the way 1058 00:53:09,360 --> 00:53:12,680 Speaker 1: the Dolphins are very abbreviated draft by the way for 1059 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,319 Speaker 1: them approach the future. We'll break it down. This is 1060 00:53:15,360 --> 00:53:20,720 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday Steve Harman and Bucky Brooks Fox Sports 1061 00:53:20,800 --> 00:53:25,120 Speaker 1: Saturday suns hav an eighty three to seventy eight lead 1062 00:53:25,160 --> 00:53:28,000 Speaker 1: over the Clippers as we head into the fourth quarter 1063 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 1: in that game, Clipper's just like they were in this 1064 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: last game without Kawhi Leonard. Obviously Paul George out for 1065 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:40,400 Speaker 1: this series. Are playing tough basketball. But is it enough? 1066 00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,360 Speaker 1: We'll see down the stretch. And the problem again is 1067 00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:47,120 Speaker 1: when you have top players out, puts pressure on everybody else. 1068 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook is playing really well here. He has twenty 1069 00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:55,000 Speaker 1: three points, eleven to nineteen from the field, doing a 1070 00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,120 Speaker 1: lot of different things for this team. Does he have 1071 00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:01,920 Speaker 1: a future? I mean, I mean the huge contract. Obviously 1072 00:54:01,960 --> 00:54:04,560 Speaker 1: he's out the window. That forty seven million he collected 1073 00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:08,080 Speaker 1: year is no longer on the books. Would you want 1074 00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: to add Russell Westbrook as a guy that can either 1075 00:54:11,360 --> 00:54:13,600 Speaker 1: start for you or come off the bench in the future. 1076 00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:16,600 Speaker 2: For the Clippers? Yes, it makes sense because he has 1077 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,399 Speaker 2: a one. Tyron Lou respects him and respects his game, 1078 00:54:20,800 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 2: and Tyrone Lou has been able to get Russell Wilson 1079 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 2: to buy into whatever role that he wants him to serve. 1080 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:30,279 Speaker 2: If I am Russell Westbrook, I abound around the league 1081 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,719 Speaker 2: the last five years. I'm just looking for someone that 1082 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,799 Speaker 2: respects me enough to put me in a position to 1083 00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 2: play the game that I love the way that I 1084 00:54:36,640 --> 00:54:39,160 Speaker 2: love to do it. The Clippers can offer him that 1085 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:40,600 Speaker 2: he's a hometown guy. 1086 00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,799 Speaker 3: The Clipper fans have embraced him, unlike the way the 1087 00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:43,719 Speaker 3: Lakers fans did. 1088 00:54:44,120 --> 00:54:46,520 Speaker 2: So Yeah, if I am him, I want to play 1089 00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: for the Clippers. I want to play in Engwood in 1090 00:54:49,080 --> 00:54:51,880 Speaker 2: a new spot when eventually opens up. So yet, I 1091 00:54:51,880 --> 00:54:53,240 Speaker 2: am down with staying with the Clippers. 1092 00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,279 Speaker 1: I agree he seems happy. And if he's happy and 1093 00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,960 Speaker 1: he's productive, why not. I mean, he's still one of 1094 00:54:58,960 --> 00:55:02,160 Speaker 1: the outstanding in this league. Maybe not to the level 1095 00:55:02,200 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: he was three or four years ago, but he can 1096 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:06,640 Speaker 1: certainly contribute right now. He's trying to keep this Clipper 1097 00:55:06,680 --> 00:55:10,400 Speaker 1: team alive in this series, all right, before we break 1098 00:55:10,480 --> 00:55:14,239 Speaker 1: down these AFC East teams in terms of what they're 1099 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,879 Speaker 1: looking at the draft. I don't know if you saw this, 1100 00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:21,960 Speaker 1: but Tom Brady made some news he was asked at 1101 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:26,360 Speaker 1: some conference that he was speaking at, is there any 1102 00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:29,920 Speaker 1: chance you're coming out of retirement and playing for the Finns. 1103 00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:35,080 Speaker 1: His answer quote, I will say now that I'm not 1104 00:55:35,120 --> 00:55:38,520 Speaker 1: affiliated with any team anymore, even though I have strong 1105 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,160 Speaker 1: ties with a couple of teams. I do have some 1106 00:55:41,239 --> 00:55:44,400 Speaker 1: friends on the Dolphins, and I really like that. I 1107 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:52,319 Speaker 1: really like Tua Tongue. Baalat is under contract for a 1108 00:55:52,320 --> 00:55:55,600 Speaker 1: couple more years right now with these Miami Dolphins, but 1109 00:55:55,719 --> 00:55:58,960 Speaker 1: he's already openly talked about the fact that he did 1110 00:55:59,120 --> 00:56:03,239 Speaker 1: consider retirement because of the concussions and that he's having 1111 00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:06,160 Speaker 1: to learn how to fall properly so he doesn't have 1112 00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:09,680 Speaker 1: his helmet slamming into the turf every time he's dragged down. 1113 00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,240 Speaker 1: There are those that make the argument, I sorry, Buddy, 1114 00:56:12,560 --> 00:56:15,719 Speaker 1: Keishawn Johnson talking about the fact that when a guy 1115 00:56:15,840 --> 00:56:20,640 Speaker 1: starts already talking retirement, he's already done. Yeah that if 1116 00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:24,879 Speaker 1: you even hint or talk about in terms of yeah, 1117 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:27,319 Speaker 1: I thought about retirement, because we were talking about this 1118 00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers, that he came out of his retreat. 1119 00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,480 Speaker 1: You know, ninety percent certainly he was going to retire. Well, 1120 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 1: maybe he is retired. Yeah, So let's talk about this 1121 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:40,560 Speaker 1: Brady situation to the Dolphins, because it's not the first 1122 00:56:40,600 --> 00:56:44,040 Speaker 1: time we've talked about it. A Do you believe there's 1123 00:56:44,360 --> 00:56:49,560 Speaker 1: any chance that Tom Brady comes out of retirement again, 1124 00:56:49,719 --> 00:56:52,839 Speaker 1: and if so, is there any chance that he could 1125 00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:54,520 Speaker 1: end up with the Miami Dolphins. 1126 00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:56,520 Speaker 2: I don't think he comes out of that, but I 1127 00:56:56,600 --> 00:57:00,680 Speaker 2: think the Dolphins offered maybe the best thing to my knowledge. 1128 00:57:00,680 --> 00:57:01,799 Speaker 3: That's where his kids are. 1129 00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 2: So if it was going to be a situation where 1130 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,640 Speaker 2: he came back to play at this stage of his 1131 00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:10,200 Speaker 2: career because of the the recent breakup with his ex 1132 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,480 Speaker 2: Giselle and the kids being there, Miami would have to 1133 00:57:13,480 --> 00:57:15,280 Speaker 2: be the place to do it because it wouldn't disrupt 1134 00:57:15,360 --> 00:57:18,919 Speaker 2: his personal life per se. Outside of that, I can't 1135 00:57:18,920 --> 00:57:20,320 Speaker 2: see it. Last year I saw a guy who was 1136 00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,320 Speaker 2: frustrated by the way it was going in those things, 1137 00:57:22,360 --> 00:57:25,240 Speaker 2: and it was a nice ending point. I don't think 1138 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 2: Tom Brady is going to return. I think it's nice 1139 00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 2: and it will always be hard for him to find 1140 00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:34,160 Speaker 2: something that replaces the passion that he has for football. 1141 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:36,600 Speaker 2: But at some point, man, it comes to an end 1142 00:57:36,600 --> 00:57:38,280 Speaker 2: for all of us. He just has to navigate through 1143 00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,080 Speaker 2: this first year before he can kind of put it 1144 00:57:41,120 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 2: officially to bed. 1145 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:44,840 Speaker 1: Well, the irony of this is Miami forfeited their first 1146 00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:49,040 Speaker 1: round picking this year's draft because of the anti tampering 1147 00:57:49,160 --> 00:57:53,560 Speaker 1: policy conversations with Tom Brady and his agent, and that's 1148 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,080 Speaker 1: why Miami doesn't have a first round pick. They have 1149 00:57:56,120 --> 00:57:59,200 Speaker 1: a second and third, and then they have no fourth, 1150 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,400 Speaker 1: no fifths. So there's not a lot for the Dolphins 1151 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:05,080 Speaker 1: to do right now. They only have that four picks 1152 00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:09,240 Speaker 1: in this draft. When you have a limited draft like this, 1153 00:58:10,280 --> 00:58:13,280 Speaker 1: what's the fallout? I mean, when you almost have a 1154 00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,920 Speaker 1: year off from the draft because basically have two picks 1155 00:58:16,200 --> 00:58:19,120 Speaker 1: and they better count. But when you when you basically 1156 00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: almost skip a draft in terms of numbers, how can 1157 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,440 Speaker 1: that affect a team moving forward? 1158 00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,840 Speaker 2: It affects you in terms of your ability to continue 1159 00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:32,960 Speaker 2: to stockpile depth. So what the Dolphins have to do 1160 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,840 Speaker 2: this year is they got to They have to do 1161 00:58:34,880 --> 00:58:37,560 Speaker 2: a great job of identifying undrafted free agents that they 1162 00:58:37,560 --> 00:58:39,960 Speaker 2: can sign that can make their team and. 1163 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,480 Speaker 3: Eventually become contributors. That has to be the emphasis. 1164 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 2: So the scouting goes beyond the draftable players, who are 1165 00:58:48,480 --> 00:58:50,400 Speaker 2: the guys that we believe can make our team that 1166 00:58:50,440 --> 00:58:53,440 Speaker 2: we're going to sign as undrafted free agents who have 1167 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,360 Speaker 2: the potential to be developmental players that can work and 1168 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:00,280 Speaker 2: give us some of the things that we wanted from 1169 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:01,919 Speaker 2: the draft picks. Now they won't be at the same 1170 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,360 Speaker 2: level because, without being disrespectful, they've been picked over, So 1171 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:07,920 Speaker 2: they're gonna be the guys at the bottom of the been. 1172 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,360 Speaker 2: So it takes more development to get those guys up 1173 00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:12,120 Speaker 2: and going. But who are some of the guys that 1174 00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:14,640 Speaker 2: may fall through the cracks that we can sign and 1175 00:59:14,680 --> 00:59:17,280 Speaker 2: give them a legitimate chance to make our team. 1176 00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,160 Speaker 1: The New York Jets, they had a good draft last year. 1177 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:25,760 Speaker 1: That a hell of a draft last year. When you 1178 00:59:25,800 --> 00:59:27,920 Speaker 1: have both the offensive rookie of the year and the 1179 00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: defensive rookie of the year, that's what I call a 1180 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: good draft. And by the way, they also had a 1181 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 1: running back for rese Haul that might have been the 1182 00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: offensive rookie of the year Eddie not gotten hurt. So 1183 00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:42,080 Speaker 1: the Jets had an outstanding draft a year ago. We 1184 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:44,480 Speaker 1: still don't know their quarterback situation. We're just going to 1185 00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:47,080 Speaker 1: assume at some point the deal's going to get done 1186 00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:50,760 Speaker 1: to put Aaron Rodgers in that uniform. They have three 1187 00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,840 Speaker 1: picks in the top forty three. How much are they 1188 00:59:53,840 --> 00:59:55,560 Speaker 1: going to get out of those picks? What are they 1189 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 1: looking for? 1190 00:59:57,720 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 3: I mean they can get a lot. You want to 1191 00:59:58,840 --> 00:59:59,360 Speaker 3: get a lot of them. 1192 01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 2: A rule of thumb is you have to make sure 1193 01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,800 Speaker 2: that you're hit on your first, second, and your third 1194 01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,960 Speaker 2: round picks. Those are the guys that are you count 1195 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,520 Speaker 2: on to be the foundation of your team, your first 1196 01:00:08,600 --> 01:00:11,160 Speaker 2: round and your second round. In particular, first round pick 1197 01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:12,880 Speaker 2: should be a starter. Second round pick should be an 1198 01:00:12,920 --> 01:00:15,560 Speaker 2: eventual starter. Third round is a developmental guy with starting 1199 01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,200 Speaker 2: potential maybe year two or three. And so if you're 1200 01:00:18,240 --> 01:00:20,480 Speaker 2: the Jets men you come in there, you're focused on that. 1201 01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:23,040 Speaker 2: Part of it has to be offensive line centric. You 1202 01:00:23,080 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 2: want to make sure that you can protect Aaron Rodgers 1203 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:29,080 Speaker 2: when he does eventually come over. But the Jets have 1204 01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,480 Speaker 2: to continue to build their team to deal with some 1205 01:00:31,480 --> 01:00:33,400 Speaker 2: of these heavy weights in the AFC. There's gonna be 1206 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 2: a lot of pressure on the Jets to be a 1207 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,720 Speaker 2: high end team, to be a team that can play 1208 01:00:39,800 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 2: at a level where they can get to the playoffs. 1209 01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 2: But we all have to remember this team has to 1210 01:00:45,680 --> 01:00:49,000 Speaker 2: contend with some of the best quarterbacks in the league, 1211 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,800 Speaker 2: and all those quarterbacks are in the AFC, And so 1212 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:53,680 Speaker 2: can you get this team up to a point where 1213 01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,000 Speaker 2: they can compete like that? I don't know, man, I 1214 01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,440 Speaker 2: think it's a long shot, but we'll see. 1215 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,680 Speaker 1: Well, the Jets have the longest drought of a playoff 1216 01:01:00,720 --> 01:01:03,880 Speaker 1: team amongst the four major team sports in America. They're 1217 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:06,240 Speaker 1: looking to change that in twenty twenty three. By the way, 1218 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 1: be sure not to miss Draft Night Live on Fox 1219 01:01:09,120 --> 01:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

We'll get 1230 01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:48,680 Speaker 1: into their draft predictions from Bucky, but first let's find 1231 01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 1: out what is trending. As we welcome back again, the 1232 01:01:52,640 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 1: one the onlye K Kevin Wire. What's going on out there, keV. 1233 01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,680 Speaker 9: Well, the Sun's starting to pull away from the Cliffers here. 1234 01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:01,880 Speaker 9: They've got an eight point lead. Were just under nine 1235 01:02:01,920 --> 01:02:04,760 Speaker 9: minutes to go out in Los Angeles as Devin book 1236 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:06,880 Speaker 9: are really starting to take off. He's got twenty seven 1237 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 9: points now in the game. Russell Westbrook playing very well 1238 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 9: as he's got twenty five points. The Clippers without Kawhi 1239 01:02:14,160 --> 01:02:16,960 Speaker 9: Leonard today, the Suns with a two to one series lead, 1240 01:02:17,080 --> 01:02:19,720 Speaker 9: so a win will put them one went away from 1241 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,480 Speaker 9: advancing to the second round. We'll put the Clippers one 1242 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:26,480 Speaker 9: went away from being eliminated from the playoffs. The first 1243 01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,600 Speaker 9: game of the day, it was the seventy six Ers 1244 01:02:29,720 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 9: finishing off the sweep against the Brooklyn Nets ninety six 1245 01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:36,120 Speaker 9: eighty eight, as Philadelphia trailed by eight at the break, 1246 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:39,720 Speaker 9: but would outscore Brooklyn by sixteen in the second half 1247 01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 9: to win it by eight. Nick Claxton, the center for Brooklyn, 1248 01:02:46,360 --> 01:02:48,560 Speaker 9: seemed to be taking advantage as did the rest of 1249 01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:50,760 Speaker 9: the Nets in that first half of the absence of 1250 01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,160 Speaker 9: Joel andmb It. However, it was a much different in 1251 01:02:54,200 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 9: the second half. He only had four points in that 1252 01:02:56,240 --> 01:03:02,240 Speaker 9: second half after scoring fifteen in the first twenty four minutes. 1253 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:04,000 Speaker 9: So the seventy six ers will move on to the 1254 01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 9: second round of the NBA Playoffs, finishing off the sweep, 1255 01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 9: Bucks and Heat getting together at seven thirty in Miami tonight, 1256 01:03:11,240 --> 01:03:12,800 Speaker 9: series also tied at one to one. 1257 01:03:12,840 --> 01:03:14,840 Speaker 1: In the night cap, it'll be the second. 1258 01:03:14,480 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 9: Game out in Los Angeles, quick turnaround of the floor 1259 01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:21,080 Speaker 9: as the Grizzlies and Lakers will take each other on, 1260 01:03:21,440 --> 01:03:23,400 Speaker 9: each of them looking to take a two to one 1261 01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:27,560 Speaker 9: series lead. As for the NHL, only one game in 1262 01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,280 Speaker 9: action right now. It's the Golden Knights leading the Jets. 1263 01:03:30,280 --> 01:03:32,840 Speaker 9: It's three to one in favor of Vegas. They've got 1264 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:36,680 Speaker 9: nine minutes ago in the second period. Everything else getting 1265 01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 9: going later this evening at seven Maple Leafs and Lightning 1266 01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:44,680 Speaker 9: squaring off in at Tampa. Rangers crossing the Hudson trying 1267 01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:46,400 Speaker 9: to make it three in a row against the Devils. 1268 01:03:46,440 --> 01:03:49,600 Speaker 9: They're up to nothing this game or this series, shifts 1269 01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:53,000 Speaker 9: to Madison Square Garden for Game three, puck drop set 1270 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:55,840 Speaker 9: for eight PM, and the Avalanche and Kraken last game 1271 01:03:55,880 --> 01:03:58,840 Speaker 9: of the day up in Seattle. Puck drop for that 1272 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,640 Speaker 9: one is set for ten hem in. It's the first 1273 01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:04,240 Speaker 9: home game that the Kraken have had as a member 1274 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:09,040 Speaker 9: of the NHL. But before there was a Seattle team 1275 01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 9: in the NHL, the Metropolitans hoisted the Stanley Cup over 1276 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,680 Speaker 9: one hundred years ago, So this will be the first 1277 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,480 Speaker 9: home playoff game that they will have at the top 1278 01:04:16,560 --> 01:04:18,800 Speaker 9: level of hockey and Seattle since then. So you gotta 1279 01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:21,200 Speaker 9: imagine the atmosphere going to be electric. 1280 01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, Kevin, thank you very much. 1281 01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:26,840 Speaker 1: Once again, we're coming alive from the tiraq dot Com 1282 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:30,120 Speaker 1: studios with our own Bucky Brooks here really breaking it 1283 01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:33,400 Speaker 1: down is get ready for Thursday's NFL Draft. By the way, 1284 01:04:33,880 --> 01:04:37,360 Speaker 1: Suns are leading Clippers ninety one eighty three nine minutes 1285 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,640 Speaker 1: to go in that game. And remember earlier I was 1286 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:45,120 Speaker 1: trying to downplay Kevin Durant. He heard us. Now he 1287 01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,680 Speaker 1: has twenty nine points, eight rebounds. He is playing like 1288 01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,400 Speaker 1: the Kevin Durant we know. So Sons obviously win this game. 1289 01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,400 Speaker 1: They're up three games to win and head home. As 1290 01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: far as the availability of Kawhi Leonard, it's up to 1291 01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard. That's what the organization's May basically saying if 1292 01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:02,919 Speaker 1: Kawi wants to play, if he feels like he's ready 1293 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:05,520 Speaker 1: to play, then he'll play. If he doesn't, he won't. 1294 01:05:06,960 --> 01:05:08,760 Speaker 1: Now was the deal that he made with the Clippers. 1295 01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:12,720 Speaker 1: I want an organization where I call the shots, which 1296 01:05:12,760 --> 01:05:15,400 Speaker 1: is why he didn't go to the Lakers. Bucky remember 1297 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 1: all this buzz that he might be joining the Lakers 1298 01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,760 Speaker 1: and AD and Lebron, and he looked at that situation saying, no, no, 1299 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to be second fiddle to Lebron. That's 1300 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 1: the Lebron's team. AD seems to be fine with that. 1301 01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,960 Speaker 1: I want to be in a position where I call 1302 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:36,320 Speaker 1: the shots. And that's the situation he has with the Clippers, 1303 01:05:36,920 --> 01:05:39,240 Speaker 1: and it hasn't turned out the way they had hoped. 1304 01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens with the Clippers moving forward. 1305 01:05:42,400 --> 01:05:45,000 Speaker 1: All right, So let's get back to this AFC easter 1306 01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,920 Speaker 1: breaking it down with Bucky as far as teams in 1307 01:05:48,080 --> 01:05:51,200 Speaker 1: this division and what they're looking for in the draft. 1308 01:05:51,440 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 1: Let's start about the Buffalo Bills right now before we 1309 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:57,440 Speaker 1: get to their draft. Are the Bills going to get 1310 01:05:57,480 --> 01:06:00,240 Speaker 1: over the hump? Are they? Are they going to get 1311 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,600 Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl with this team. A year ago, 1312 01:06:02,720 --> 01:06:05,400 Speaker 1: they were the odds on favor to win the Super Bowl. 1313 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:07,960 Speaker 1: They came up short. All of a sudden, you look 1314 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:11,280 Speaker 1: at Kansas City and Cincinnati. Are they ahead of the Bills. 1315 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:15,200 Speaker 1: What's holding the Bills back of the destiny that so 1316 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:17,160 Speaker 1: many people are predicting for them. 1317 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:20,800 Speaker 2: The big thing with the Bills has been their inability 1318 01:06:20,840 --> 01:06:24,440 Speaker 2: to come up with big plays in key moments, meaning defensively, 1319 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:28,160 Speaker 2: get off the field, third and short, third and critical. 1320 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 2: They haven't been able to get off the field. The 1321 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:33,600 Speaker 2: other thing has been the lack of a true running game, 1322 01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,600 Speaker 2: not a quarterback driven running game where you have Josh 1323 01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,880 Speaker 2: Allen doing everything, but a running game where you have 1324 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:43,120 Speaker 2: a running back doing the heavy lifting. So you're taking 1325 01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:45,160 Speaker 2: some of the pressure off Josh Allen. I don't know 1326 01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:48,480 Speaker 2: if you saw or heard Josh Allen talking this week. 1327 01:06:48,600 --> 01:06:50,960 Speaker 2: We talked about I have to kind of evolve from 1328 01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:53,720 Speaker 2: being a football player to being more of a quarterback. 1329 01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,040 Speaker 2: I've always thought of myself being maybe football player first, 1330 01:06:57,120 --> 01:07:00,840 Speaker 2: quarterback second. Now as he gets old and they understand 1331 01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 2: the importance of keeping him around and preserving him, making 1332 01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 2: sure he's available, he understands I can't take all of 1333 01:07:07,760 --> 01:07:10,480 Speaker 2: these unnecessary hits as a runner, I need to protect 1334 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:12,880 Speaker 2: myself protect the team by being available. 1335 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:15,240 Speaker 1: All right, So they have first, second, third, fourth, fifth, 1336 01:07:15,280 --> 01:07:18,240 Speaker 1: and sixth round pick and mentioned running back. I want 1337 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: to ask you about a running back in this draft. 1338 01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:22,600 Speaker 1: Obviously b Jean Robinson is a top the list, but 1339 01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,680 Speaker 1: Zach Charbonat transferred from Michigan to UCLA and every time 1340 01:07:27,680 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm watching this guy run, I'm impressed. He's physical, Like 1341 01:07:32,440 --> 01:07:36,200 Speaker 1: he's big physical, he can break them. Where do you 1342 01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,320 Speaker 1: stand on Zach Charbonat and where can you project him 1343 01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:40,360 Speaker 1: coming up in this draft? 1344 01:07:41,080 --> 01:07:43,840 Speaker 2: Zach Charbonet is a solid second round pick. Jack Sharbonet 1345 01:07:43,880 --> 01:07:45,360 Speaker 2: is a work horse running back that a lot of 1346 01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:47,480 Speaker 2: people are going to be intrigued with. It's hard to 1347 01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,240 Speaker 2: find big backs at are two hundred and twenty plus 1348 01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:51,240 Speaker 2: pounds that not only can run with the physicality and 1349 01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:54,800 Speaker 2: toughness inside bucking catch the ball, and be contributors in. 1350 01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 3: The passing game. 1351 01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,760 Speaker 2: He is a rare find as a super sized running 1352 01:07:58,760 --> 01:08:02,080 Speaker 2: back that has that ability. Now it's finding him a 1353 01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,760 Speaker 2: home and where he can kind of do those things. 1354 01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:07,320 Speaker 2: And so look, if the Cowboys don't get one in 1355 01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,080 Speaker 2: the first round, he certainly could be an option in 1356 01:08:09,080 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 2: the second round. The Cincinnati binghis could be an auction 1357 01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:15,520 Speaker 2: because they're going to need someone to eventually replace Joe Mixon. 1358 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 2: Their few other teams that need that big banger to 1359 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:22,560 Speaker 2: do what they want to do offensively. 1360 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:26,519 Speaker 1: And then there's the New England Patriots. So a year 1361 01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,400 Speaker 1: ago they spent a boatload of money on free agency, 1362 01:08:30,760 --> 01:08:34,440 Speaker 1: they didn't spend any money on getting an offensive coordinator. 1363 01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,479 Speaker 1: So now Bill O'Brien's back, and a lot of people 1364 01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:40,439 Speaker 1: are just thinking that, all right, we're going to see 1365 01:08:40,479 --> 01:08:44,040 Speaker 1: a different Mac Jones in twenty twenty three with a 1366 01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,719 Speaker 1: true offensive coordinator in charge. So I guess the question 1367 01:08:47,840 --> 01:08:49,719 Speaker 1: is what kind of impact do you think Bill O'Brien 1368 01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:53,680 Speaker 1: will have on this Patriots offense? And we're hearing all 1369 01:08:53,720 --> 01:08:56,599 Speaker 1: these rumblings that maybe Mac Jones isn't the guy they 1370 01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:58,960 Speaker 1: were hoping he was going to be after a very 1371 01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:02,439 Speaker 1: promise he rookie season. They got ten picks in this draft, 1372 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:05,640 Speaker 1: they got three fours, they got four to six's Belichick's 1373 01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:09,120 Speaker 1: in charge of everything. Where do we stand right now 1374 01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:11,799 Speaker 1: on the New England Patriots as we get ready. 1375 01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:14,439 Speaker 3: For the draft? I mean, everything is flipped up. 1376 01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 2: I think Robert Craft can and put pressure and he 1377 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:21,599 Speaker 2: has put pressure on Bill Belichick in terms of winning 1378 01:09:21,640 --> 01:09:23,599 Speaker 2: and their standards and those things. And some of that 1379 01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 2: is obviously due to Tom Brady being able to go to. 1380 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:29,960 Speaker 3: Tampa and win. But man, some of. 1381 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:31,519 Speaker 2: What we're talking about in terms of Bill Belichick beil 1382 01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:32,920 Speaker 2: on the hot seat. Bill Belichick's on the hot seat. 1383 01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 2: This should be a whole lot of coaches around the 1384 01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:36,320 Speaker 2: league did on the hot seat. As much as he's won, 1385 01:09:36,360 --> 01:09:38,840 Speaker 2: as much as they have won, even when they're off, 1386 01:09:38,920 --> 01:09:40,080 Speaker 2: they win at a high level. 1387 01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:41,640 Speaker 3: You know. 1388 01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:43,680 Speaker 2: I just think they have to be careful and the 1389 01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:46,080 Speaker 2: exhibit enough patients as he's trying to figure out how 1390 01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:48,960 Speaker 2: to build this team post Tom Brady. But I expect 1391 01:09:49,000 --> 01:09:51,320 Speaker 2: them to be back in the mix. Mac Jones will 1392 01:09:51,360 --> 01:09:54,760 Speaker 2: perform better with Bill O'Brien at quarterback. They'll clean up 1393 01:09:54,800 --> 01:09:56,559 Speaker 2: some of the things when it comes to the offensive 1394 01:09:56,560 --> 01:09:59,519 Speaker 2: scheme where they have some structure, and that structure should 1395 01:09:59,560 --> 01:10:01,760 Speaker 2: lead to easy your answers for the quarterback and. 1396 01:10:01,720 --> 01:10:03,719 Speaker 3: You'll see better performers from the offense in general. 1397 01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:05,920 Speaker 1: All Right, So they have the fourteenth overall pick. What 1398 01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:06,880 Speaker 1: are they looking. 1399 01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 2: At fourteenth overall. So this is really a wide open 1400 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 2: thing for them. They can go defense and secondary, found 1401 01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,519 Speaker 2: a cornerback that can be a number one. They can 1402 01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:17,880 Speaker 2: go offense, maybe a running back in b Jonn Robinson 1403 01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,639 Speaker 2: if he's there to kind of give them what they 1404 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:21,639 Speaker 2: had when Corey Dillon and some of those big backs 1405 01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:25,240 Speaker 2: were there. I mean, they can go offensive tackle. There 1406 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 2: is really wide open for them. And knowing the Patriots, 1407 01:10:27,479 --> 01:10:29,719 Speaker 2: they're going to take the best player available for them, 1408 01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:32,040 Speaker 2: not who we need to be the best player for them, 1409 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,960 Speaker 2: but their board is unique and special to what they 1410 01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:36,320 Speaker 2: want to do, and so they're going to take a 1411 01:10:36,360 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 2: really solid player, and I think it'll be another guy 1412 01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:41,280 Speaker 2: that doesn't have a lot of flash or fanfare, but 1413 01:10:41,320 --> 01:10:42,639 Speaker 2: it'd be a solid contributor for him. 1414 01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:44,479 Speaker 1: It's always amazing to me when you look over the 1415 01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:48,240 Speaker 1: Patriots over the last twenty years, aside from Tom Brady, 1416 01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:53,400 Speaker 1: when you think about impact skilled position guys, really only 1417 01:10:53,400 --> 01:10:56,160 Speaker 1: two names come to mind. Randy Moss, who had that 1418 01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:59,000 Speaker 1: record setting year in their undefeated season before they lost 1419 01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,799 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl the Giant, and then Gronk, who obviously 1420 01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:07,680 Speaker 1: dominated at the tight end position. Everybody else just interchangeable 1421 01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:12,799 Speaker 1: guys that sometimes they morphed into elite players and certainly 1422 01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:16,360 Speaker 1: didn't start that way. Their running backs have been pretty 1423 01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:19,439 Speaker 1: pedestrian over the years, and yet they get a lot 1424 01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:22,360 Speaker 1: of production out of those guys. I mentioned that because 1425 01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:25,160 Speaker 1: you got the fourteenth overall pick, there could be some 1426 01:11:25,240 --> 01:11:28,519 Speaker 1: intriguing names as far as a wide receivers concerned. There's 1427 01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 1: some pretty good tight ends in this draft. Obviously you've 1428 01:11:31,439 --> 01:11:35,120 Speaker 1: wtched like Bijon Robinson. I mean, he might be sitting 1429 01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,240 Speaker 1: at number fourteen. It doesn't seem to be though the 1430 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:43,080 Speaker 1: direction the Belichick goes as far as using premium picks 1431 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:45,280 Speaker 1: on so called skill guys. 1432 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,800 Speaker 2: No, but I think he understands like the skill guy 1433 01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:52,640 Speaker 2: would really help his quarterback. Yeah, and they need to 1434 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,800 Speaker 2: help the quarterback. They need mac Jones to perform at 1435 01:11:54,800 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 2: a high level, Pro Bowl level, and so if they 1436 01:11:57,240 --> 01:12:00,519 Speaker 2: have to expand a topick to do that at on 1437 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 2: a skill guid, they're more than willing to do that. 1438 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 2: A lot of it depends on how does this team 1439 01:12:06,040 --> 01:12:09,519 Speaker 2: feel like they can zig when everyone else is zagging? 1440 01:12:09,680 --> 01:12:11,760 Speaker 2: So is that becoming more of a run centric team, 1441 01:12:11,800 --> 01:12:14,000 Speaker 2: is that becoming more of a tight end centric team 1442 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,960 Speaker 2: where you have two tight ends on the field. They 1443 01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:19,800 Speaker 2: signed Mike get Sicky to go with Hunter Henry. So 1444 01:12:19,920 --> 01:12:23,479 Speaker 2: is that more twelve personnel? More big boy football? They 1445 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,280 Speaker 2: have found a way to find value in playing differently 1446 01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:29,519 Speaker 2: than everybody else the draft to give us kind of 1447 01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:31,120 Speaker 2: a little sneak peek at what they want to do. 1448 01:12:31,439 --> 01:12:33,360 Speaker 1: All right? Coming up on the other side, is there 1449 01:12:33,400 --> 01:12:36,439 Speaker 1: more news out of the NFL this week? Of big concern? 1450 01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:40,960 Speaker 1: Is gambling a problems suddenly for the Shield? Or break 1451 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,040 Speaker 1: it down? This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harvin, Bucky 1452 01:12:44,040 --> 01:12:48,759 Speaker 1: Brooks Fox Sports Saturday. It looks like the Suns will 1453 01:12:48,840 --> 01:12:52,960 Speaker 1: prevail up one oh nine to ninety eight. Now with 1454 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:54,960 Speaker 1: about a minute and a half to go in that game. 1455 01:12:55,080 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: Kevin Durant big game, thirty one points, eleven rebounds. Fortunately 1456 01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,880 Speaker 1: for the Clippers, Norman Palell, who had forty plus in 1457 01:13:03,920 --> 01:13:06,840 Speaker 1: the last game, held to just fourteen points. How about 1458 01:13:06,920 --> 01:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Russell Westbrook thirty seven points for the Clippers. It won't 1459 01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,800 Speaker 1: be enough. The Suns will take a three to one 1460 01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:18,320 Speaker 1: series lead and now down three to one going back 1461 01:13:18,360 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 1: to Phoenix. My guess is we will not see Kawhi 1462 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:24,439 Speaker 1: Leonard in Game five. Just my guess. Maybe I'm completely wrong, 1463 01:13:24,880 --> 01:13:26,559 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guess he's not going. 1464 01:13:26,520 --> 01:13:30,040 Speaker 3: To be there. Yeah. No, I mean is tough. It's 1465 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,640 Speaker 3: disappointing that you don't get a chance to see him. 1466 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:35,120 Speaker 2: He he's playing so well and they look like they 1467 01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,439 Speaker 2: had a chance to knock off the Suns prior to 1468 01:13:37,920 --> 01:13:41,479 Speaker 2: you know, him succumbing to his injury. But that's life 1469 01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:43,519 Speaker 2: and times in the postseason. Man, part of winning a 1470 01:13:43,640 --> 01:13:45,960 Speaker 2: championship is not only being better than the competition, but 1471 01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,200 Speaker 2: it's being lucky and being lucky enough to avoid the 1472 01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 2: injuries and those things. 1473 01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:53,160 Speaker 1: All Right, I got to get to the scambling scandal 1474 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,519 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Four Lions players to have been re 1475 01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:02,639 Speaker 1: released by the Lions and a member of the Washing 1476 01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:09,200 Speaker 1: Commanders suspended for gambling. Okay, I'm really having a hard 1477 01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:12,640 Speaker 1: time with us right now, bookie. So this is a 1478 01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:21,200 Speaker 1: league that is fully involved with multiple gambling establishments funneling 1479 01:14:21,720 --> 01:14:28,800 Speaker 1: billions of dollars into the NFL. Now, the rule states 1480 01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:33,280 Speaker 1: the players in personnel cannot bet on NFL games, the draft, 1481 01:14:33,360 --> 01:14:37,719 Speaker 1: or any league related activities under any circumstance. They also 1482 01:14:37,840 --> 01:14:40,960 Speaker 1: cannot place any bets well at a team facility or 1483 01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:46,040 Speaker 1: on team related travel. I don't get this. Unless you 1484 01:14:46,200 --> 01:14:52,000 Speaker 1: are found to a bet specifically on your team, and 1485 01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:55,240 Speaker 1: that you engage in something during a game that affected 1486 01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:58,320 Speaker 1: the outcome of that game to favor you, then I 1487 01:14:58,320 --> 01:15:02,559 Speaker 1: could see a suspension. But this idea where a league 1488 01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 1: that allows players, by the way, to participate in fantasy football, 1489 01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,160 Speaker 1: which is a form of gambling if you have any 1490 01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:15,880 Speaker 1: money on it. I don't get this. What is this about? 1491 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,720 Speaker 1: Is the nabout trying to show Hey, you know, I 1492 01:15:18,760 --> 01:15:21,160 Speaker 1: know that we're all in knee deep now all the 1493 01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,240 Speaker 1: gambling establishments, and yes, we have a team in Las Vegas, 1494 01:15:24,439 --> 01:15:25,600 Speaker 1: but we're really. 1495 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,679 Speaker 3: What is this I mean? 1496 01:15:30,240 --> 01:15:31,800 Speaker 2: So, what the league wants to do is make sure 1497 01:15:31,800 --> 01:15:33,840 Speaker 2: that everything always looks like it's on the up and up. 1498 01:15:34,400 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 2: And one thing that you can do is when you 1499 01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:39,880 Speaker 2: associate with the books and the casinos and those things, 1500 01:15:39,920 --> 01:15:43,040 Speaker 2: you don't want your players to exhibit the behavior that 1501 01:15:43,200 --> 01:15:48,439 Speaker 2: may kind of call into question the legitimacy of the game. 1502 01:15:48,960 --> 01:15:51,439 Speaker 2: And so that's why they've tried to take hardline stances. 1503 01:15:51,439 --> 01:15:53,440 Speaker 2: When it comes to it. We can talk about hypocrisy 1504 01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,240 Speaker 2: and all that other stuff, but from the league standpoint, 1505 01:15:56,280 --> 01:15:59,519 Speaker 2: they want their players to portray an image where they 1506 01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,439 Speaker 2: are not looking like their compromise. And so that's what 1507 01:16:03,479 --> 01:16:05,120 Speaker 2: this has to do. And as much as we want 1508 01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:07,920 Speaker 2: to say, oh, silly, whatever, but the players know, you know, 1509 01:16:08,040 --> 01:16:09,720 Speaker 2: going in. I mean, I just did a training a 1510 01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:12,080 Speaker 2: couple of weeks ago online where they'd give you all 1511 01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:13,640 Speaker 2: the stuff when it comes to gambling, what you can 1512 01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:15,800 Speaker 2: and what you can't do, and so when you sign 1513 01:16:15,880 --> 01:16:17,320 Speaker 2: up to play in the league, that's one of the 1514 01:16:17,360 --> 01:16:18,120 Speaker 2: things that you have. 1515 01:16:18,160 --> 01:16:19,439 Speaker 3: To bide by. 1516 01:16:19,520 --> 01:16:22,160 Speaker 2: And so all of these guys knew exactly what they 1517 01:16:22,200 --> 01:16:25,280 Speaker 2: were doing, and so they I mean unfortunately for everybody, 1518 01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:27,280 Speaker 2: for them included that they have to fall into short for. 1519 01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:29,519 Speaker 1: Well, hold on a second there, but they are allowed 1520 01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,599 Speaker 1: to participate in fantasy football. I mean, let's say your 1521 01:16:32,720 --> 01:16:36,400 Speaker 1: quarterback is got a fantasy football team and one of 1522 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:39,040 Speaker 1: the players on his fantasy football team happens to be 1523 01:16:39,400 --> 01:16:45,479 Speaker 1: a wide receiver, tight end or running back on his team. Yeah, 1524 01:16:45,640 --> 01:16:48,840 Speaker 1: I don't you talk about hypocrisy. I mean you talk 1525 01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,839 Speaker 1: about ability to control the outcome of a fantasy football 1526 01:16:52,960 --> 01:16:56,559 Speaker 1: game by either handing the ball to a player or not, 1527 01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:00,479 Speaker 1: or throwing a ball to a player or not. I mean, 1528 01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,800 Speaker 1: I don't know how caught up they are into it, 1529 01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,120 Speaker 1: but to me, it just seems like, if you're going 1530 01:17:05,160 --> 01:17:07,800 Speaker 1: to go down this path again, if there is some 1531 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,599 Speaker 1: proof that you know player, you know made a bet 1532 01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,800 Speaker 1: on a game and did something to try to alter 1533 01:17:12,920 --> 01:17:15,799 Speaker 1: the outcome of that game, fine, you know, all bets 1534 01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:19,200 Speaker 1: are off. But they're saying, in none of these circumstances 1535 01:17:19,320 --> 01:17:22,720 Speaker 1: was any game affected. You know, you go way back 1536 01:17:22,760 --> 01:17:25,120 Speaker 1: to the suspensions of two guys that are in the 1537 01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,679 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame, Paul Horning and Alex Kris. 1538 01:17:28,680 --> 01:17:31,599 Speaker 1: They were suspended for an entire year by then commissioner 1539 01:17:31,680 --> 01:17:34,759 Speaker 1: Pete Rosell because they bet on their teams to win, 1540 01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,400 Speaker 1: and at the time they were the two best teams 1541 01:17:37,400 --> 01:17:41,599 Speaker 1: in the league. Same thing with Pete Rose. Pete Rose 1542 01:17:41,960 --> 01:17:46,000 Speaker 1: never bet against his team. People say, well, there are 1543 01:17:46,040 --> 01:17:48,200 Speaker 1: days he didn't bet. Well, okay, yeah, if I got 1544 01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,240 Speaker 1: my number five starter going against the team's ace, no, 1545 01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:52,760 Speaker 1: I'm not going to bet on my team to win. 1546 01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,680 Speaker 1: But there was no evidence that he ever bet against 1547 01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 1: the Reds. We have sports like tennis where you can 1548 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:03,120 Speaker 1: bet on your to win. I don't I don't see 1549 01:18:03,120 --> 01:18:07,720 Speaker 1: the harm here. I do not understand why This is 1550 01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:10,320 Speaker 1: a crime. Again, if you bet against your team and 1551 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 1: you did something the effect of like a Tim Donneghe, 1552 01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:15,559 Speaker 1: you know, the rogue official that they talk rogue yet 1553 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:18,200 Speaker 1: like he's the only one. But you know as well 1554 01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 1: as I do, athletes are betting constantly when you have 1555 01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 1: a lot of money. You're telling me that Charles Barkley 1556 01:18:24,400 --> 01:18:26,600 Speaker 1: and Michael Jordan didn't bet when they were active players in. 1557 01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,040 Speaker 3: The NBA, you know, I mean, I'm assuming that they 1558 01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:32,760 Speaker 3: didn't bet. I'm assuming that they didn't, you know, violely determs. 1559 01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,080 Speaker 3: You know, they come on. 1560 01:18:34,280 --> 01:18:36,880 Speaker 2: I mean, they're stars, right, they are stars, But I'm 1561 01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:38,320 Speaker 2: hoping that they didn't viotly determined. 1562 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,479 Speaker 1: Well, it's again, they weren't betting against their team. They 1563 01:18:41,520 --> 01:18:44,640 Speaker 1: weren't throwing games. But if you believe in yourself and 1564 01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:46,360 Speaker 1: you can make a few bucks on it, why not. 1565 01:18:47,920 --> 01:18:48,240 Speaker 5: I don't know. 1566 01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:48,800 Speaker 3: I'm telling you. 1567 01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:52,720 Speaker 2: It's just it's just the look, the optics of it, 1568 01:18:53,120 --> 01:18:54,640 Speaker 2: looking like you could be compromised. 1569 01:18:54,680 --> 01:18:55,439 Speaker 3: That's what it's about. 1570 01:18:55,640 --> 01:18:57,760 Speaker 1: Sons have beaten the Clippers by a score of one 1571 01:18:57,800 --> 01:19:02,479 Speaker 1: twelve to one hundred. Do you believe what we're hearing 1572 01:19:02,520 --> 01:19:04,840 Speaker 1: that the Clippers are going to try to bust this 1573 01:19:04,920 --> 01:19:08,760 Speaker 1: thing up. I mean, another year wasted, another year down 1574 01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:13,599 Speaker 1: the drain, highest payroll in the entire NBA, and it 1575 01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,799 Speaker 1: ain't going down anytime soon. With forty five million plus 1576 01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:19,759 Speaker 1: forty six million plus being paid to both Kawhi Leonard 1577 01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,800 Speaker 1: and Paul George next season, what do the Clippers do next? 1578 01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 1: Can they do anything? 1579 01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:29,720 Speaker 3: Nothing to get a hope that for better health next year? 1580 01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:31,120 Speaker 3: That's that's the only thing they can do. 1581 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:37,120 Speaker 1: That's doubtful. I mean, think about it. You gave up 1582 01:19:37,240 --> 01:19:42,560 Speaker 1: five first round picks and Shay Gilgess, Alexander and Gallinari 1583 01:19:42,720 --> 01:19:43,639 Speaker 1: to get Paul George. 1584 01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:45,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. 1585 01:19:45,960 --> 01:19:48,400 Speaker 1: How many rings does he? Yeah? Again? 1586 01:19:49,560 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 3: Oh my god? 1587 01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:53,320 Speaker 1: I mean that that, I mean, it could go down 1588 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:59,280 Speaker 1: is the worst trade in NBA history, if you really 1589 01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: want to break it down on how much they gave 1590 01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:03,240 Speaker 1: up for and the reason they did it was because 1591 01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:05,320 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leaners said, that's the guy you want me to sign, 1592 01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:08,600 Speaker 1: get Paul George. Does he really convinced Paul George was 1593 01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:09,599 Speaker 1: going to be that kind of player? 1594 01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:10,280 Speaker 3: All right? 1595 01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,320 Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, among other things, We're 1596 01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: gonna continue on with our coverage of the NFL Draft. 1597 01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:19,120 Speaker 1: Adam Kaplan, our NFL Insider will weigh in and we're 1598 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 1: gonna find out what is the latest still with Aaron 1599 01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 1: Rodgers and Lamar Jackson?

Also 1615 01:21:16,479 --> 01:21:18,880 Speaker 1: with the NBA playoffs, The Suns have taken a three 1616 01:21:18,880 --> 01:21:22,720 Speaker 1: to one series lead over the Clippers. The Sixers eliminated 1617 01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:25,599 Speaker 1: the Nets in four consecutive games. We got Milwaukee going 1618 01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 1: up against Miami still and then later on the Lakers 1619 01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:34,320 Speaker 1: taking on the Memphis Grizzlies. Oh, by the way, a 1620 01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 1: little major League baseball. So Wednesday, Bucky I went to 1621 01:21:37,360 --> 01:21:40,559 Speaker 1: the Dodgers game. You know, they had a noon start. 1622 01:21:40,800 --> 01:21:43,280 Speaker 1: It's great, that's a good day to go to a game. 1623 01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,519 Speaker 1: You know, it's noon. Place was half empty. There weren't 1624 01:21:46,560 --> 01:21:48,719 Speaker 1: a lot of people there on a Wednesday at noon. 1625 01:21:49,479 --> 01:21:51,599 Speaker 1: They lose this game of the Mets. But what happened 1626 01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:53,679 Speaker 1: in that game? Max Sures got thrown out of the game. 1627 01:21:55,160 --> 01:21:57,880 Speaker 1: So we're watching. He had three scoreless innings and all 1628 01:21:57,920 --> 01:21:59,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden there seemed to be commotion on the 1629 01:21:59,760 --> 01:22:04,200 Speaker 1: first space line between the umpire and shureser, and the 1630 01:22:04,240 --> 01:22:05,800 Speaker 1: next thing you know, he gets thrown out of the 1631 01:22:05,800 --> 01:22:10,640 Speaker 1: game and he gets a ten game suspension for substance 1632 01:22:10,880 --> 01:22:14,519 Speaker 1: on the baseball and his glove and everything else. Now 1633 01:22:14,520 --> 01:22:18,759 Speaker 1: Max Scherzer is a surefire Hall of Famer or is he? Now? 1634 01:22:19,479 --> 01:22:24,200 Speaker 1: Does an incident like this taint everything that Max Sures 1635 01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:26,519 Speaker 1: has been involved with. Now he's saying I didn't do 1636 01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,400 Speaker 1: any It was like Rodsen it was, it was a 1637 01:22:28,479 --> 01:22:31,320 Speaker 1: day game. It was it was just sticky stuff from 1638 01:22:31,320 --> 01:22:35,200 Speaker 1: the rosen which is which is legal. League ruled otherwise 1639 01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,920 Speaker 1: and he gets suspended for ten games. But if something 1640 01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:41,600 Speaker 1: like that happens to an elite pitcher of the magnitude 1641 01:22:41,600 --> 01:22:45,240 Speaker 1: of a Max Scherzer, does that taint his legacy in 1642 01:22:45,280 --> 01:22:47,559 Speaker 1: any way? 1643 01:22:48,400 --> 01:22:49,800 Speaker 3: Not really. I don't think so. 1644 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:53,240 Speaker 2: I think temporarily it's one of those things where, I mean, 1645 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,200 Speaker 2: we've seen we've seen videos pop up where you guys 1646 01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,360 Speaker 2: are saying how Rodsen in sweat and a little hair 1647 01:22:58,400 --> 01:23:01,160 Speaker 2: product can all he kind of sick. I think Trevor 1648 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,200 Speaker 2: Bauer Putt had an old video that was up there 1649 01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:05,840 Speaker 2: that pointed out how it could look like that. And 1650 01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:08,599 Speaker 2: so it's just one of those things where no one 1651 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,200 Speaker 2: wants it. I mean, he is talking about and he 1652 01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:12,439 Speaker 2: swears he didn't do it. Who knows. I mean, we 1653 01:23:12,479 --> 01:23:14,639 Speaker 2: talk about some of the greats. They they've all had 1654 01:23:14,680 --> 01:23:17,160 Speaker 2: some things. George Brett had to pont Or incident. So 1655 01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 2: I don't think it taints anything. It's one of those 1656 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:24,559 Speaker 2: things that will definitely talk about, but much ado about nothing. 1657 01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:28,560 Speaker 1: Well, here's my point though. The Baseball Writers Association of America, 1658 01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,679 Speaker 1: the people that decide on the League awards and ultimately 1659 01:23:31,720 --> 01:23:35,360 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame have deemed those that they believe 1660 01:23:36,240 --> 01:23:40,160 Speaker 1: in some circumstances, like Barry Bonds and Roger Clemons. Others 1661 01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,720 Speaker 1: who did get busted, like an a Rod or a 1662 01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:45,759 Speaker 1: Manny Ramirez, don't belong in the Hall of Fame because 1663 01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 1: they cheated. They jeopardized the integrity of the game. By 1664 01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:55,679 Speaker 1: the way, that's the integrity of a sport that banned 1665 01:23:55,720 --> 01:23:58,400 Speaker 1: an entire race of people for over sixty years. So 1666 01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:01,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what integrity we're talking about here. But 1667 01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:05,760 Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm just wondering. I mean, I'm saying, 1668 01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:09,880 Speaker 1: is are they going to hold him responsible like they 1669 01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,519 Speaker 1: have those that haven't even tested positive for performance and 1670 01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,799 Speaker 1: nancing drugs, who they deem Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens 1671 01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,840 Speaker 1: not worthy of enenthriment in Cooperstown with. 1672 01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:23,040 Speaker 3: Hope not But who knows. 1673 01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:25,040 Speaker 2: Man, the way the Hall of Fame and stuff goes, 1674 01:24:25,479 --> 01:24:26,840 Speaker 2: you know, you kind of pick and choose who you 1675 01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:30,720 Speaker 2: like is more definitely more popularity contest than a meritocracy. 1676 01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,160 Speaker 2: So we'll see if he has enough other stuff to 1677 01:24:34,200 --> 01:24:39,600 Speaker 2: help him survive. The onslaugh of negative attention and publicity 1678 01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:40,719 Speaker 2: he'll get from this incident. 1679 01:24:40,960 --> 01:24:43,280 Speaker 1: Staying with major League Baseball, both there's a lot of 1680 01:24:43,320 --> 01:24:47,519 Speaker 1: teams out there that were hyped up not playing well 1681 01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:50,559 Speaker 1: right now. We had the Tampa Bay Rays. Of course, 1682 01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:53,360 Speaker 1: they came off thirteen and zero. They're sitting at seventeen 1683 01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:56,439 Speaker 1: and three overall, so they're sitting pretty right now. The 1684 01:24:56,560 --> 01:24:59,080 Speaker 1: Dodgers won today, but there's still a five hundred team. 1685 01:24:59,120 --> 01:25:09,280 Speaker 1: The podres huge payroll. You remember how the one soda 1686 01:25:09,360 --> 01:25:15,120 Speaker 1: was being touted is like like a generational Ted Williams type, 1687 01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,120 Speaker 1: you know, with the on base percentage of everything else. 1688 01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,240 Speaker 1: The problem with him now is that's all he does 1689 01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:25,360 Speaker 1: is walk. He leads the majors and walks, but he's 1690 01:25:25,360 --> 01:25:28,120 Speaker 1: not doing anything other than that. He's hitting one seventy 1691 01:25:28,360 --> 01:25:32,920 Speaker 1: six right now. I mean, I you know, if you're 1692 01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,080 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be an elite player because wow, the 1693 01:25:36,160 --> 01:25:38,680 Speaker 1: analytics of the game right ah, look at that on 1694 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:42,840 Speaker 1: base percentage. Yeah, a walk is not the same as 1695 01:25:42,840 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 1: a hit. I don't know who deemed that a walk 1696 01:25:46,840 --> 01:25:50,840 Speaker 1: is the same as a hit because runners don't advance 1697 01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:55,800 Speaker 1: beyond one base. When you walk, you get a base hit. Hey, 1698 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:57,960 Speaker 1: they might advance a couple of bases, but at some 1699 01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 1: point some analys let it go genius decided, oh yeah, 1700 01:26:03,160 --> 01:26:05,320 Speaker 1: walks every bit as good as a hit. It's not. 1701 01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:08,600 Speaker 1: And one soda is a prime example of that. 1702 01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:13,840 Speaker 2: Right now, Yes, now to think about one soda. When 1703 01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,040 Speaker 2: it comes to that stuff, he has to adapt and adjust. 1704 01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 2: I still think he's one of those spectacular talents that 1705 01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:21,000 Speaker 2: you want to have on your team. When he lights 1706 01:26:21,040 --> 01:26:23,000 Speaker 2: it up and he's on fire, he is a problem. 1707 01:26:23,840 --> 01:26:26,040 Speaker 2: The walking thing. Be get me able to get on base, 1708 01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,080 Speaker 2: that's a good thing. He has to find his rhythm 1709 01:26:28,080 --> 01:26:31,960 Speaker 2: within this new game that we have in terms of 1710 01:26:32,240 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 2: the pitch clock has certainly impacted him. He's a guy 1711 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,519 Speaker 2: that likes his old routine, I mean, his lengthy He's 1712 01:26:38,560 --> 01:26:40,040 Speaker 2: going to do the same thing to his gloves off, 1713 01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 2: just kind of fix his thing, look at the bat picture, 1714 01:26:41,960 --> 01:26:43,840 Speaker 2: and do all the other stuff, the gyrations and all 1715 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,200 Speaker 2: that that's been a part of it. Hard to do 1716 01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:48,479 Speaker 2: all of that in eight seconds now, and so it 1717 01:26:48,560 --> 01:26:49,840 Speaker 2: just takes me a while to adapt. 1718 01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:53,200 Speaker 3: I'm not ready to kind of throw the throat dirt 1719 01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:56,160 Speaker 3: on him yet. I want him to continue to struggle 1720 01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,080 Speaker 3: because as a Dodgers fan. I don't want the Padres 1721 01:26:58,120 --> 01:27:00,720 Speaker 3: to get up and going, but no man talented team 1722 01:27:00,720 --> 01:27:02,120 Speaker 3: and they're gonna get it together. He's gonna get his 1723 01:27:02,160 --> 01:27:03,120 Speaker 3: stuff together too well. 1724 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,679 Speaker 1: He seems to have the Albert poohol syndrome. You remember 1725 01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,880 Speaker 1: when pooh Holz left the Cardinals, he was one hitter 1726 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 1: and became a different hitter with the Angels. With the Nationals, 1727 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:13,840 Speaker 1: in his five years there, he had two ninety one 1728 01:27:13,880 --> 01:27:17,080 Speaker 1: with a nine to sixty six ops as a Padre 1729 01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:20,040 Speaker 1: last year and this year he's hitting two nineteen with 1730 01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:24,280 Speaker 1: a seven sixty four ops, two hundred points lower. It's 1731 01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:29,040 Speaker 1: not the same player. It's always a same league basing 1732 01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 1: the same pictures. You've protected that lineup. You had a 1733 01:27:32,960 --> 01:27:36,679 Speaker 1: lot of talent in that Padres lineup, and for whatever reason, 1734 01:27:37,640 --> 01:27:40,360 Speaker 1: it's just not working. It's really weird. I mean, some guys, 1735 01:27:40,640 --> 01:27:44,519 Speaker 1: you know, they find a comfort zone, right and and 1736 01:27:44,760 --> 01:27:46,680 Speaker 1: we're talking about a twenty three to twenty four year 1737 01:27:46,720 --> 01:27:49,320 Speaker 1: old player. We're not talking about some guy that's, you know, 1738 01:27:49,400 --> 01:27:51,960 Speaker 1: on the back end of his career. He's entering into 1739 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:55,559 Speaker 1: the prime of his career. But for some reason, put 1740 01:27:55,600 --> 01:27:58,759 Speaker 1: it on that pottery's uniform. Just not working with Juan Soto. 1741 01:27:59,520 --> 01:27:59,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1742 01:28:00,200 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 2: Different, It's definitely a little different. But he is so good. 1743 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:06,760 Speaker 2: He's been so good for so long. We'll see if 1744 01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:07,559 Speaker 2: you can get it together. 1745 01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:10,320 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get back to the NFL draft for 1746 01:28:10,360 --> 01:28:13,000 Speaker 1: a moment here and talk about the number one overall pick. 1747 01:28:13,080 --> 01:28:14,519 Speaker 1: So is it a done deal? 1748 01:28:14,640 --> 01:28:14,920 Speaker 3: Now? 1749 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,000 Speaker 1: Is Bryce Young going to go to the Carolina Panthers. 1750 01:28:19,439 --> 01:28:21,880 Speaker 1: You followed his career since he was a kid, so 1751 01:28:21,960 --> 01:28:25,880 Speaker 1: you know everything about Bryce Young. If indeed Carolina takes 1752 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:29,320 Speaker 1: the number one, how long will it take for him 1753 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,479 Speaker 1: on that team Frank right now in charge as the 1754 01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:36,599 Speaker 1: head coach to have an impact on this league? Uh? 1755 01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 3: I would say it takes two years. 1756 01:28:39,400 --> 01:28:42,240 Speaker 2: It takes the first year is the get used to 1757 01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,280 Speaker 2: the league year. But I think with Frank Wright and 1758 01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:48,960 Speaker 2: Josh McCown and Jim Calwell Thomas Brown also his offense coordinator, 1759 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,839 Speaker 2: they really have a perfect environment for a young quarterback 1760 01:28:51,880 --> 01:28:53,920 Speaker 2: to flourish. And the reason why is they have so 1761 01:28:54,000 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 2: much experience. They have so much real experience, Meaning two 1762 01:28:57,520 --> 01:28:59,400 Speaker 2: of those coaches that I mentioned have played the game 1763 01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 2: for long time. Jim Calwell has not only coached head 1764 01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:07,599 Speaker 2: coach a couple of different teams. He's been an offensive coordinator, 1765 01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 2: he's been a long time quarterback coach, so you're getting 1766 01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:13,000 Speaker 2: that experience there where he can kind of whisper to suite. 1767 01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 3: Nothing's into Bryce Young's ear. 1768 01:29:15,080 --> 01:29:17,479 Speaker 2: And then you get Thomas Brown, who's coming from Sean 1769 01:29:17,560 --> 01:29:21,600 Speaker 2: mcvay's system, which really elevates quarterbacks and those things. So 1770 01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:24,360 Speaker 2: you put all of that together, I mean Bryce Youngen 1771 01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:27,559 Speaker 2: is Bryce Young is in a perfect situation to eventually 1772 01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:31,479 Speaker 2: meet all of those expectations that will company him being 1773 01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:32,160 Speaker 2: a number one. 1774 01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:35,519 Speaker 1: Pick after the combine. The most talked about quarterback obviously 1775 01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:39,840 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson. It's been a roller coaster ride since the combine. 1776 01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:43,439 Speaker 1: Immediately after the combine there was even buzz by some 1777 01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,920 Speaker 1: that Richardson could go number one overall. Somebody was going 1778 01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:49,720 Speaker 1: to trade up to get Anthony Richardson based on his 1779 01:29:49,840 --> 01:29:53,040 Speaker 1: insane numbers at two hundred and forty four pounds, you know, 1780 01:29:53,160 --> 01:29:57,040 Speaker 1: running four three four four forty. Where do we stand 1781 01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,080 Speaker 1: right now, as we are less than a week away 1782 01:29:59,080 --> 01:30:03,720 Speaker 1: from the draft of where you project Anthony Richardson to go. 1783 01:30:05,680 --> 01:30:06,959 Speaker 3: I think he's still a wildcard. 1784 01:30:07,160 --> 01:30:11,360 Speaker 2: It's a wildcard because unfortunately for Anthony Richardson, he caught 1785 01:30:11,520 --> 01:30:14,080 Speaker 2: fire coming off of the combine when he was the 1786 01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 2: super athlete, but everyone who watched him go to the 1787 01:30:17,439 --> 01:30:19,160 Speaker 2: Combine knew he was going to be a super athlete 1788 01:30:19,200 --> 01:30:22,320 Speaker 2: based on what he's always done in high school and college. 1789 01:30:22,479 --> 01:30:24,960 Speaker 2: And so now you're trying to figure out how does 1790 01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,960 Speaker 2: this play out for Anthony Richardson as a player. He's 1791 01:30:28,960 --> 01:30:31,080 Speaker 2: not ready to play this year, he may not be 1792 01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,080 Speaker 2: ready to play next year. And he has such little 1793 01:30:34,160 --> 01:30:37,360 Speaker 2: experience as a starting quarterback at the position at the 1794 01:30:37,400 --> 01:30:40,120 Speaker 2: started quarterback in college, how can you say that he 1795 01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:43,280 Speaker 2: is ready to be a successful NFL quarterback. The last 1796 01:30:43,320 --> 01:30:45,400 Speaker 2: guy we saw come in with so few starts that 1797 01:30:45,560 --> 01:30:48,000 Speaker 2: was picked high was Trey Lance and he has struggled. 1798 01:30:49,880 --> 01:30:53,280 Speaker 2: Maybe I still hold out hope that maybe he's a 1799 01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,719 Speaker 2: first round pick, But to me, of all the quarterbacks 1800 01:30:55,760 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 2: that could really slide and have a major slot, Anthony 1801 01:30:58,120 --> 01:30:59,040 Speaker 2: Richardson is doing. 1802 01:30:59,120 --> 01:31:00,880 Speaker 1: Could be all right. On the other side, we're going 1803 01:31:00,960 --> 01:31:03,919 Speaker 1: to get a new voice in here talking about everything 1804 01:31:04,160 --> 01:31:08,400 Speaker 1: NFL draft, plus what is the status of Aaron Rodgers 1805 01:31:08,439 --> 01:31:12,400 Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson, Adam Kaplan Our Fox Sports Radio NFL 1806 01:31:12,439 --> 01:31:16,719 Speaker 1: insider Will join us next Steve Harvin and Bucky Brooks 1807 01:31:16,800 --> 01:31:20,120 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Saturday, and we are coming alive from the 1808 01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:24,479 Speaker 1: tai Iraq dot Com studios. It is time to check 1809 01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:26,880 Speaker 1: in right now with one of our favorite people on 1810 01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:31,200 Speaker 1: the planet. He is the NFL Insider, works with Sirius XM, 1811 01:31:31,320 --> 01:31:34,960 Speaker 1: NFL Inside the Birds podcast, and of course right here 1812 01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:39,920 Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio, NFL Insider Adam Kaplan. All right, Adam, 1813 01:31:39,920 --> 01:31:43,240 Speaker 1: we are just days away now from this NFL Draft. 1814 01:31:43,960 --> 01:31:48,040 Speaker 1: How surprised are you as we're this close to the 1815 01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:51,479 Speaker 1: draft and Aaron Rodgers is still with the Green Bay 1816 01:31:51,560 --> 01:31:55,240 Speaker 1: Packers and Lamar Jackson is still with the Baltimore Ravens. 1817 01:31:55,880 --> 01:31:59,200 Speaker 4: Let's kick the latter. Definitely not with with Lamar Jackson 1818 01:31:59,200 --> 01:32:00,840 Speaker 4: still being there, I'm not surprise a lot, so I 1819 01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:04,719 Speaker 4: expected kind of got the feeling this at the owner's 1820 01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:08,639 Speaker 4: meetings when Arthur Blank, the owner of the Falcons, went 1821 01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:12,559 Speaker 4: on record because Techndingly, Lamar Jackson's free agent, explained why 1822 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,720 Speaker 4: they didn't want him, and that that told me a 1823 01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:16,840 Speaker 4: lot because of his injury history the last two years 1824 01:32:16,840 --> 01:32:20,960 Speaker 4: and the Cleveland contract that they gave to Watson Nook. 1825 01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000 Speaker 4: It was just it's kind of kind of. I was 1826 01:32:23,080 --> 01:32:25,439 Speaker 4: kind of shocked that he was pretty out in front 1827 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,040 Speaker 4: of on it. So yeah, I don't expect him to 1828 01:32:27,040 --> 01:32:29,519 Speaker 4: get traded. I'd be shocked if that happened. At this point. 1829 01:32:29,840 --> 01:32:32,439 Speaker 4: There's been no there's been really no traction at all. 1830 01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,120 Speaker 4: That That is the part, Steve, I'll be honest with you, 1831 01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:39,680 Speaker 4: that's kind of a surprise of that. There's been no 1832 01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:42,840 Speaker 4: team that says, okay, let's talk to the Ravens, start 1833 01:32:42,880 --> 01:32:45,120 Speaker 4: to work something out. We'd do a sign in trade. 1834 01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,360 Speaker 4: Of course Lamar would have to agree to it, but 1835 01:32:47,400 --> 01:32:49,200 Speaker 4: there's been nothing to this point. Now getting to the 1836 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,320 Speaker 4: Rogers part. Slightly surprised. Now, if you if they want 1837 01:32:53,320 --> 01:32:54,920 Speaker 4: to get something for this year's draft, I mean, it's 1838 01:32:54,920 --> 01:32:57,080 Speaker 4: obviously gonna have to happen right before the draft or 1839 01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,920 Speaker 4: during the draft, before the teams were on the cl 1840 01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,040 Speaker 4: so that that's, you know, another way to do it. 1841 01:33:02,680 --> 01:33:04,400 Speaker 4: But the problem is if it doesn't get done by 1842 01:33:04,400 --> 01:33:07,200 Speaker 4: the end of the draft, and then you have to 1843 01:33:07,200 --> 01:33:09,519 Speaker 4: ask yourself what exactly is going to happen. Because my 1844 01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:13,840 Speaker 4: understanding has been from day one, the Jets entire offseason 1845 01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:16,720 Speaker 4: was based on getting Aaron Rodgers and that would be 1846 01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:17,440 Speaker 4: their centerpiece. 1847 01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:22,040 Speaker 2: You know so, and think about that, because we're loosely 1848 01:33:22,080 --> 01:33:25,120 Speaker 2: talking about the trade market. It's come out like a 1849 01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:29,040 Speaker 2: lot of conversation about DeAndre Hopkins leaving in Arizona, those 1850 01:33:29,040 --> 01:33:30,519 Speaker 2: things has reported camp in those things. 1851 01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:31,880 Speaker 3: What are you hearing about the. 1852 01:33:32,120 --> 01:33:35,680 Speaker 2: Andre Opsons DeAndre Hopkins trade market? 1853 01:33:35,720 --> 01:33:38,800 Speaker 4: None. Nobody wants this contract, Bucky. He's just making too 1854 01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:41,920 Speaker 4: much money. This is a guy who's suspended for six 1855 01:33:41,960 --> 01:33:45,240 Speaker 4: games last year. He's thirty one years old. What will happen, 1856 01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:47,880 Speaker 4: I believe is he'll wind up being released and he'll 1857 01:33:47,920 --> 01:33:49,280 Speaker 4: go to sign with the team that's got a chance 1858 01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:50,640 Speaker 4: to win a Super Bowl. Just to give you an 1859 01:33:50,640 --> 01:33:55,000 Speaker 4: idea of how ridiculous this contract is. I get it. 1860 01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:56,960 Speaker 4: The guy's a really good play He was a very 1861 01:33:56,960 --> 01:33:58,679 Speaker 4: good player, and you'll worry about the injuries. He turns 1862 01:33:58,720 --> 01:34:01,840 Speaker 4: thirty one in June, but his base salary is nineteen 1863 01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,880 Speaker 4: nineteen point four to five million. No one's going to 1864 01:34:04,960 --> 01:34:07,760 Speaker 4: trade for that. The reason why the Cardins won him 1865 01:34:07,760 --> 01:34:10,080 Speaker 4: off his roster. He is a quarterback cap number thirty 1866 01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,840 Speaker 4: point seventy five million. You just can't keep that. You 1867 01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:15,040 Speaker 4: just can't. You just can't take it that there are 1868 01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,439 Speaker 4: teams in the total rebuild. They're not winning anytime soon. 1869 01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:19,400 Speaker 4: They need they'd love to get anything. I think you've 1870 01:34:19,400 --> 01:34:20,840 Speaker 4: got a fourth round pick, they do it. They're just 1871 01:34:20,880 --> 01:34:23,519 Speaker 4: not getting anything for him, and teams believe he's probably 1872 01:34:23,520 --> 01:34:25,960 Speaker 4: going to be released. Now, if he gets released, I 1873 01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,400 Speaker 4: think Buffalo would be in play, may potentially Baltimore wouldn't 1874 01:34:29,400 --> 01:34:32,920 Speaker 4: be in play. They still need help at the wide 1875 01:34:32,960 --> 01:34:36,000 Speaker 4: receiver position. You start looking at those great teams Kansas 1876 01:34:36,040 --> 01:34:38,799 Speaker 4: City maybe, who lost a couple of receivers in free agency. 1877 01:34:39,200 --> 01:34:41,320 Speaker 4: You start looking at those teams that have a chance 1878 01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:42,840 Speaker 4: to go deep in the plaids and also, by the way, 1879 01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:45,320 Speaker 4: the Giants, they could still need major help at the 1880 01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:46,160 Speaker 4: wide receiver position. 1881 01:34:46,840 --> 01:34:49,320 Speaker 1: What is going on with the Houston Texans right now? 1882 01:34:49,439 --> 01:34:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, we all assumed that whoever Carolina took, and 1883 01:34:54,240 --> 01:34:56,760 Speaker 1: now we believe it'll be Bryce Young, that c. J. 1884 01:34:56,880 --> 01:34:59,639 Speaker 1: Stroud would just go number two. Now all of a sudden, 1885 01:34:59,680 --> 01:35:03,559 Speaker 1: we got betting nods that Will Levis is now the 1886 01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:06,360 Speaker 1: favorite to be the second overall pick, and that it's 1887 01:35:06,400 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 1: not going to be Will Anderson, but Tyrie Wilson, the 1888 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,760 Speaker 1: Texas tech edge guy, he could be the number two 1889 01:35:12,800 --> 01:35:16,080 Speaker 1: overall pick. Are the Texans gonna stay with that pick? 1890 01:35:16,120 --> 01:35:17,880 Speaker 1: Are they going to take a quarterback? Are they going 1891 01:35:17,920 --> 01:35:20,759 Speaker 1: to go with an edge guy? Are again they trade out? 1892 01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:23,960 Speaker 1: Is there really somebody out there that is so wild 1893 01:35:23,960 --> 01:35:26,360 Speaker 1: about Will Levis? They'll move up to number two, whatever 1894 01:35:26,400 --> 01:35:29,200 Speaker 1: it takes. What's happening with that second overall pick? 1895 01:35:29,240 --> 01:35:31,519 Speaker 4: All right? So, and I did a mock draft for 1896 01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:34,479 Speaker 4: my friends at Pro Football Network dot com and the 1897 01:35:34,520 --> 01:35:37,879 Speaker 4: aforementioned Tyry Wilson is my pick. There a couple of reasons. 1898 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:40,800 Speaker 4: As he explained to me by Sony used to work 1899 01:35:40,840 --> 01:35:43,479 Speaker 4: with Nick Assaria the GM. When these guys are with 1900 01:35:43,520 --> 01:35:46,200 Speaker 4: the Patriots. Nick is an old school scout. He's going 1901 01:35:46,240 --> 01:35:50,120 Speaker 4: to go buy the grading system. Bryce Shun's gonna have 1902 01:35:50,120 --> 01:35:55,320 Speaker 4: a higher grade clearly than CJ. Stroud, And Tyrie Wilson 1903 01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:56,880 Speaker 4: is the best edge rusher for this draft. There's some 1904 01:35:56,920 --> 01:35:59,040 Speaker 4: good ones, but he's the best one. He's going to 1905 01:35:59,120 --> 01:36:03,599 Speaker 4: have a higher great competitively to Stroud. And that's why 1906 01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:05,519 Speaker 4: I put Stroud here. This guy. You know, I took 1907 01:36:05,520 --> 01:36:07,439 Speaker 4: this guy's advice because I look at their needs and 1908 01:36:07,479 --> 01:36:10,040 Speaker 4: by the way they're changing their defensive front of the 1909 01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:11,799 Speaker 4: they're going to play that wide nine where the dms 1910 01:36:11,800 --> 01:36:15,680 Speaker 4: play outside the tackles. Wilson be incredible in there. And 1911 01:36:15,960 --> 01:36:17,800 Speaker 4: now here's the thing. If they do this like I 1912 01:36:17,800 --> 01:36:19,439 Speaker 4: think they're going to do, at least go with a 1913 01:36:19,479 --> 01:36:22,120 Speaker 4: defensive end, whether it's Willy Anderson or Wilson, but Wilson 1914 01:36:22,120 --> 01:36:25,639 Speaker 4: should be that should be higher on their board. Remember 1915 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,000 Speaker 4: now they're the twelve pick overall. Now, now let's get 1916 01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,360 Speaker 4: over to will Levis. Will Levis had a difficult year 1917 01:36:30,360 --> 01:36:32,200 Speaker 4: and twenty two, let's call it like it is. It 1918 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:35,880 Speaker 4: was somewhat of a struggle. Twenty one was really really good, 1919 01:36:36,920 --> 01:36:40,559 Speaker 4: and you know, it's hard to justify taking him with 1920 01:36:40,680 --> 01:36:43,280 Speaker 4: a second pick overall when he struggled as much as 1921 01:36:43,280 --> 01:36:47,720 Speaker 4: he did. I know there were reasons offensive line, lack 1922 01:36:47,760 --> 01:36:50,840 Speaker 4: of help on the outside, the offense coordinate wound up 1923 01:36:50,840 --> 01:36:52,800 Speaker 4: getting fired late in the season, so there were a 1924 01:36:52,840 --> 01:36:56,360 Speaker 4: lot of mitigating circumstances. But the fact is the tape 1925 01:36:56,400 --> 01:36:58,639 Speaker 4: is tape wasn't very good, and I just don't see 1926 01:36:58,680 --> 01:37:01,160 Speaker 4: him being justified as a second pick overall. Now what 1927 01:37:01,280 --> 01:37:02,880 Speaker 4: happens if it goes like I think it will go. 1928 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,559 Speaker 4: The Texans, by the way, I believe will Levis could 1929 01:37:06,560 --> 01:37:08,920 Speaker 4: be there at number twelve, and that's what teams are 1930 01:37:08,960 --> 01:37:12,120 Speaker 4: trying to figure out. Who need a quarterback like Chris Bauer, 1931 01:37:12,240 --> 01:37:15,400 Speaker 4: the GM of the number four overall team, the Colts. 1932 01:37:16,120 --> 01:37:17,559 Speaker 4: Do they go with Stroud who I have in my 1933 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:21,160 Speaker 4: mock by the way, going to the Cults. Do the 1934 01:37:21,160 --> 01:37:24,040 Speaker 4: Colts then decide to trade down? Do they keep the pick? 1935 01:37:24,280 --> 01:37:26,120 Speaker 4: The Colts have other needs, but they're major one and 1936 01:37:26,160 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 4: it's not even close like the like the Texans have 1937 01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:31,719 Speaker 4: like eight needs. The Colts have like four or five needs. 1938 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:34,639 Speaker 4: But the quarterback and cornerback are the two and there's 1939 01:37:34,680 --> 01:37:36,720 Speaker 4: no other. You're not taking a corner. There's not a 1940 01:37:36,720 --> 01:37:39,320 Speaker 4: corner who's a lead enough to take it for So 1941 01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:40,840 Speaker 4: to me, if the Coults stay there, it's got to 1942 01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:41,640 Speaker 4: be stroud. 1943 01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:43,240 Speaker 3: Man. 1944 01:37:43,479 --> 01:37:46,080 Speaker 4: So the tough one this year though, by the way, 1945 01:37:46,120 --> 01:37:47,800 Speaker 4: there's not a lot of elite players. Bucky knows. This 1946 01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:48,679 Speaker 4: not a great drought. 1947 01:37:49,439 --> 01:37:50,640 Speaker 3: No, I mean it's not. 1948 01:37:51,000 --> 01:37:54,200 Speaker 2: And so the Tyree Wilson conversation is interesting because coming 1949 01:37:54,240 --> 01:37:58,000 Speaker 2: into the year everything was about will Anderson. Well, Anderson 1950 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,080 Speaker 2: has more production and all this other stuff. What is 1951 01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:05,240 Speaker 2: it about Will Anderson that people are leaning towards Tyree 1952 01:38:05,240 --> 01:38:06,240 Speaker 2: Wilson over him. 1953 01:38:06,720 --> 01:38:09,839 Speaker 4: People like will Anderson, but there's a saying that scouting bucket. 1954 01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:13,439 Speaker 4: I know you've heard many times grade the player not 1955 01:38:13,560 --> 01:38:16,720 Speaker 4: to Jersey. The lea tape does not match up to 1956 01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:19,879 Speaker 4: the hype. That's the way he's explained to me Wilson. 1957 01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 4: What Wilson has over all of them is elite length. 1958 01:38:24,360 --> 01:38:26,240 Speaker 4: It's just, I mean, you don't find guys like this. 1959 01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:28,360 Speaker 4: He's super long, and you could stand him up playing 1960 01:38:28,400 --> 01:38:30,680 Speaker 4: inside and nickel at the tackle if you need him to. 1961 01:38:31,600 --> 01:38:35,360 Speaker 4: He's just really really gifted. Where Eerson. Look, he's in 1962 01:38:35,360 --> 01:38:40,200 Speaker 4: a draft where it's not super high on elite pass rushers. 1963 01:38:40,200 --> 01:38:42,400 Speaker 4: In fact, this kid Lucas van ass So I think 1964 01:38:42,439 --> 01:38:45,160 Speaker 4: I might have talked about with you guys before. I 1965 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:47,040 Speaker 4: don't think. I don't think he gets past ten to 1966 01:38:47,040 --> 01:38:49,720 Speaker 4: Philly because again, not a great draft. If you want 1967 01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,880 Speaker 4: a pass rusher and you start passing on guys, I 1968 01:38:52,880 --> 01:38:54,600 Speaker 4: mean it's you're not going to get them later in 1969 01:38:54,600 --> 01:38:55,800 Speaker 4: the first round. They're just not there. 1970 01:38:56,560 --> 01:38:59,920 Speaker 1: Give us the inside on the extension to Jalen Hurts, 1971 01:39:00,240 --> 01:39:02,400 Speaker 1: why did he get it? Why did he get that money? 1972 01:39:03,240 --> 01:39:06,080 Speaker 1: The timing? Obviously you're all over the Eagle situation. What's 1973 01:39:06,120 --> 01:39:08,000 Speaker 1: the story there, so, Steve. 1974 01:39:07,760 --> 01:39:11,960 Speaker 4: What happened was they approached the agent really late last season, 1975 01:39:11,960 --> 01:39:13,840 Speaker 4: said hey, let's get the ball rolling on this. And 1976 01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:15,720 Speaker 4: what we don't want to distract Jailing because he was 1977 01:39:15,760 --> 01:39:18,280 Speaker 4: in the playoffs, but this is a major priority for them. 1978 01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:21,479 Speaker 4: They in fact, what they did was they restructured a 1979 01:39:21,520 --> 01:39:24,639 Speaker 4: bunch of contracts. They went very late free agency, which 1980 01:39:24,680 --> 01:39:27,080 Speaker 4: is not Howie Rosamond. It's not like Howie Rosamond, their 1981 01:39:27,080 --> 01:39:29,360 Speaker 4: general manager, very much. But they signed a lot of 1982 01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:31,560 Speaker 4: one year deal for veteran minimum, and they made a 1983 01:39:31,560 --> 01:39:34,360 Speaker 4: decision they were going to pay. And they are one 1984 01:39:34,360 --> 01:39:37,559 Speaker 4: of these teams when they think, guys, they have the 1985 01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:40,000 Speaker 4: right player, whether it's quarterback, whatever position is, when they 1986 01:39:40,000 --> 01:39:42,599 Speaker 4: want to extend a contract, the will to take the 1987 01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:45,040 Speaker 4: early risk. Yes, fifty one million a year. It's the 1988 01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:48,080 Speaker 4: deal isn't quite like it's been reported, but the overage 1989 01:39:48,080 --> 01:39:50,439 Speaker 4: per season is true. It's fifty one million per season. 1990 01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:52,720 Speaker 4: The guarantees are not as strong as you would like. 1991 01:39:53,360 --> 01:39:55,240 Speaker 4: He's on the contract now for six years. But the 1992 01:39:55,280 --> 01:39:58,320 Speaker 4: Eagles took the early risk here, and because they're going 1993 01:39:58,400 --> 01:39:59,760 Speaker 4: to make a bet on this player, they think he 1994 01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:01,639 Speaker 4: with them all the time. They think he's their guy, 1995 01:40:01,680 --> 01:40:05,479 Speaker 4: and this sets everything up. They have an incredible offense guys. 1996 01:40:05,520 --> 01:40:09,360 Speaker 4: I mean, they're their core unit of guys who are 1997 01:40:09,400 --> 01:40:12,200 Speaker 4: signed through twenty twenty four. They have seven key players 1998 01:40:12,200 --> 01:40:14,880 Speaker 4: on offense signed through twenty twenty four. The offense is 1999 01:40:14,880 --> 01:40:17,120 Speaker 4: going to be fantastic. There's some miches on the back 2000 01:40:17,200 --> 01:40:19,760 Speaker 4: end of their defense, but they wanted to get this 2001 01:40:19,800 --> 01:40:22,320 Speaker 4: done early, and I give them credit. They were pretty aggressive, 2002 01:40:22,360 --> 01:40:23,920 Speaker 4: I'm told, with trying to get this done. 2003 01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:27,360 Speaker 2: And thinking about that, how does this set the table 2004 01:40:27,439 --> 01:40:30,519 Speaker 2: for the other quarterback deals that we know we understanding Lamar, 2005 01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:33,439 Speaker 2: but justin Herbert and then Joe Burrow, how will that 2006 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:36,000 Speaker 2: structure of Jaala Hursteel help those guys. 2007 01:40:36,200 --> 01:40:38,160 Speaker 4: It'll help because at least they know what the Garrett, 2008 01:40:38,160 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 4: they know what the hours per season is is fifty 2009 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:43,120 Speaker 4: one million. Now, I'm a little surprised that it hit 2010 01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:46,000 Speaker 4: my number. I thought it'd be between fifty and fifty 2011 01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:48,559 Speaker 4: three million. But I am surprised he signed for five 2012 01:40:48,560 --> 01:40:51,479 Speaker 4: more years because remember he had a year left. So 2013 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:57,560 Speaker 4: I don't see those guys agreeing to a six year deal. Theoretically, 2014 01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,080 Speaker 4: you'd like to get four years, and obviously you play 2015 01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,439 Speaker 4: on that final year avoid the fifth year option, which 2016 01:41:04,439 --> 01:41:06,040 Speaker 4: is what you're going to want to do if if 2017 01:41:06,080 --> 01:41:08,920 Speaker 4: you're these guys agent, because remember Hurts, by the way, 2018 01:41:08,920 --> 01:41:11,040 Speaker 4: did not have a fifth year option as a second 2019 01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:14,360 Speaker 4: round pick. So yeah, I expect that it will be 2020 01:41:14,360 --> 01:41:16,000 Speaker 4: a little bit more, whether it's fifty two or fifty 2021 01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,080 Speaker 4: three million a year, but I expect to gar full guarantee. 2022 01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:20,479 Speaker 4: It's signing to be stronger. But again, they have this 2023 01:41:20,479 --> 01:41:23,679 Speaker 4: this is the floor for these deals, and then they'll 2024 01:41:23,880 --> 01:41:27,040 Speaker 4: they'll they'll just accordingly, and I'll be interested to see 2025 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:30,320 Speaker 4: what happens here because these teams may not be as 2026 01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:32,880 Speaker 4: aggressive as the Eagles, where the Eagles were, as I'm told, 2027 01:41:32,960 --> 01:41:34,599 Speaker 4: super aggressive and trying to get this done. 2028 01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,160 Speaker 1: The point that you made about this not being like, 2029 01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:42,240 Speaker 1: you know, an A plus draft in terms of you know, 2030 01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:45,880 Speaker 1: impact players, immediate impact players, and I asked this a 2031 01:41:45,960 --> 01:41:48,920 Speaker 1: bucky a little bit earlier, Adam. We hear this year 2032 01:41:48,920 --> 01:41:50,160 Speaker 1: in a year out, there's going to be a lot 2033 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,400 Speaker 1: of movement, a lot of trades, everything's going to move 2034 01:41:52,479 --> 01:41:54,519 Speaker 1: up and down. It seems like a lot of teams 2035 01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:56,640 Speaker 1: might be moving down in this draft. I mean, the 2036 01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:00,280 Speaker 1: Legles are sitting at number ten. Overall that wacky trade 2037 01:42:00,320 --> 01:42:01,880 Speaker 1: they made with the Saints a year ago, they end 2038 01:42:01,960 --> 01:42:05,040 Speaker 1: up with the tenth pick in the draft. So do 2039 01:42:05,080 --> 01:42:07,440 Speaker 1: you think there are a lot of teams not necessarily 2040 01:42:07,479 --> 01:42:10,879 Speaker 1: trying to move up but actually moved down in this draft? 2041 01:42:11,439 --> 01:42:14,559 Speaker 4: You got the Latters, correct, Steve Yes. So here's what 2042 01:42:14,600 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 4: I'm told in every draft Bucket knows is from scouting, 2043 01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:22,439 Speaker 4: they're generally between eleven and fifteen true first round picks 2044 01:42:23,120 --> 01:42:27,040 Speaker 4: grades and then everyone else. Look, if you're picking at sixteen, okay, 2045 01:42:27,080 --> 01:42:29,679 Speaker 4: well you have to take somebody if you can't trade out. 2046 01:42:30,080 --> 01:42:32,400 Speaker 4: So that's why I sometimes you see teams trading out 2047 01:42:32,400 --> 01:42:35,240 Speaker 4: from the middle and trying to get out, and teams 2048 01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:37,559 Speaker 4: that are desperate need for certain positions will trade up. 2049 01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:41,639 Speaker 4: So the players that I believe that teams may trade 2050 01:42:41,720 --> 01:42:44,000 Speaker 4: up for could be one of these corners that we 2051 01:42:44,040 --> 01:42:46,599 Speaker 4: didn't talk about. Jalen Carter. He's sort of the wild 2052 01:42:46,600 --> 01:42:48,679 Speaker 4: card in terms of the he's the best player graded 2053 01:42:48,720 --> 01:42:52,000 Speaker 4: overall for this draft, but he's major off the field concerns. 2054 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:56,160 Speaker 4: So what happens with him is fascinating because if the 2055 01:42:56,160 --> 01:42:59,040 Speaker 4: Seahawks don't pick him their team that's always been willing 2056 01:42:59,040 --> 01:43:02,320 Speaker 4: to take ristal care I don't know where he's going 2057 01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:05,040 Speaker 4: to go. It's who's what GM is willing to take 2058 01:43:05,080 --> 01:43:09,040 Speaker 4: the risk. Yes, the kid's incredibly gifted and could be 2059 01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,080 Speaker 4: what we call a gold jacket player, meaning he could 2060 01:43:12,080 --> 01:43:14,000 Speaker 4: be a Hall of Fame type talent. But do you 2061 01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:18,120 Speaker 4: trust him? He's pretty interesting, But I don't really see guys, 2062 01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:20,439 Speaker 4: to be honestly, I don't see these guys that you 2063 01:43:20,479 --> 01:43:22,160 Speaker 4: really need to trade up for. And by the way, 2064 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,800 Speaker 4: the cornerback group is pretty good. It's not elite the 2065 01:43:25,240 --> 01:43:27,479 Speaker 4: version of Sauce Gardner even close for this draft, but 2066 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:29,759 Speaker 4: there are a lot of good players and Joey Porter Junior, 2067 01:43:29,840 --> 01:43:32,800 Speaker 4: he's after the top two guys. He might be the 2068 01:43:32,800 --> 01:43:33,960 Speaker 4: next guy to go to the middle of the first 2069 01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:35,720 Speaker 4: round real quick. 2070 01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:38,000 Speaker 3: Who do you think pulls the trigger on John Robinson? 2071 01:43:39,120 --> 01:43:42,479 Speaker 4: It's a good question. In my mock for Profoble network 2072 01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:47,320 Speaker 4: dot Com, I've got him going in the twenties. He is. 2073 01:43:47,640 --> 01:43:49,400 Speaker 4: He is one of the true lead players for this draft, 2074 01:43:49,400 --> 01:43:52,360 Speaker 4: There's no doubt about it. But it's hard to pack 2075 01:43:52,439 --> 01:43:53,840 Speaker 4: him here. I got him all the way down the 2076 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:56,880 Speaker 4: twenty seven to the Bills who I don't think draft 2077 01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:59,639 Speaker 4: of James Cook, Dalvin Cook's brother last year, But I'm sorry, 2078 01:43:59,680 --> 01:44:01,479 Speaker 4: if he's there, you have to take them. They don't 2079 01:44:01,520 --> 01:44:03,560 Speaker 4: run the ball very well. I know they want to 2080 01:44:03,600 --> 01:44:05,040 Speaker 4: run a lot, but when they do, they have to 2081 01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,519 Speaker 4: run it better, and he would make them so dynamic. 2082 01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:10,559 Speaker 4: But quite frankly, Bucky, when you go through this first round, 2083 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:15,679 Speaker 4: it's hard to peg him anywhere. It really is because 2084 01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:18,000 Speaker 4: a lot of these teams already have their established running backs. 2085 01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:21,360 Speaker 4: You know, if you go through it, I don't really 2086 01:44:21,400 --> 01:44:25,800 Speaker 4: see a team that will go well. Now Minnesota Dalvin 2087 01:44:25,880 --> 01:44:27,960 Speaker 4: Cook in his situation, they're trying to figure out what 2088 01:44:27,960 --> 01:44:30,240 Speaker 4: they're going to do with this contract. Austin Eckler, by 2089 01:44:30,280 --> 01:44:32,160 Speaker 4: the way, he could be traded. They don't want to 2090 01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:34,120 Speaker 4: extend his contract, they don't want to pay him. What 2091 01:44:34,200 --> 01:44:36,040 Speaker 4: would the Chargers do at the running back position? They 2092 01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:37,960 Speaker 4: would still be a running team or a passing team. 2093 01:44:38,080 --> 01:44:40,400 Speaker 4: They don't run it very much. What do the Ravens 2094 01:44:40,439 --> 01:44:42,720 Speaker 4: do at twenty two? They didn't run it very well 2095 01:44:42,840 --> 01:44:45,280 Speaker 4: last season. Now they had injuries. But again, it's really 2096 01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:46,360 Speaker 4: hard to peg him somewhere. 2097 01:44:47,240 --> 01:44:49,519 Speaker 1: Can Nice think again? One last question here, is there 2098 01:44:49,640 --> 01:44:53,880 Speaker 1: any truth to the rumors that Dereck Henry could be moved, 2099 01:44:55,200 --> 01:44:55,880 Speaker 1: well moved. 2100 01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,760 Speaker 4: Yes, I know they've denied this. They've denied that they're 2101 01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:03,720 Speaker 4: shopping him. Folks. He won't be I'm going to make 2102 01:45:03,720 --> 01:45:06,160 Speaker 4: a prediction Derrick Henry won't be with the Titans next year. 2103 01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,920 Speaker 4: The way explain to me is that I felt I 2104 01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:11,439 Speaker 4: laughed when I heard this, but I checked in on 2105 01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,280 Speaker 4: It's definitely true, Mike, Mike Rabel. I know he wants 2106 01:45:14,280 --> 01:45:15,880 Speaker 4: to be He likes running the football, but he wants 2107 01:45:15,880 --> 01:45:18,320 Speaker 4: to be more dynamic offensively. They know they're married to 2108 01:45:18,400 --> 01:45:20,800 Speaker 4: Derrick Henry this season. It's going to be hard to 2109 01:45:20,840 --> 01:45:24,000 Speaker 4: trade him. You never say never. There are all sorts 2110 01:45:24,000 --> 01:45:27,000 Speaker 4: of rumors about this team's involved and that team's involved. 2111 01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:31,680 Speaker 1: There's only one team involved. It's the Eagles. Henry's going 2112 01:45:31,720 --> 01:45:31,840 Speaker 1: to be. 2113 01:45:33,479 --> 01:45:35,120 Speaker 4: Let me just explain this before we get out of here. 2114 01:45:35,520 --> 01:45:37,320 Speaker 4: The Eagles have not drafted a running back in the 2115 01:45:37,360 --> 01:45:39,800 Speaker 4: first round in forty years. Okay, there's a reason for it. 2116 01:45:40,080 --> 01:45:43,040 Speaker 4: They don't believe it running the football. I will, guys, 2117 01:45:43,160 --> 01:45:45,360 Speaker 4: I will donate one hundred dollars to your favorite charity 2118 01:45:45,360 --> 01:45:46,439 Speaker 4: if this happens to the Eagles. 2119 01:45:48,200 --> 01:45:49,600 Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna hold you to it. 2120 01:45:49,720 --> 01:45:53,679 Speaker 4: Adam both Ears, Yeah, all right, yes to the Eagles. 2121 01:45:53,720 --> 01:45:56,040 Speaker 1: All right.

We'll talk to you next week, guys. 2123 01:45:59,240 --> 01:45:59,439 Speaker 4: Thank you. 2124 01:45:59,600 --> 01:46:02,880 Speaker 1: Adam Appling, join us, there are Fox Sports Radio. Wow, 2125 01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:06,639 Speaker 1: NFL Insider. We'll get into that rumor that's flying around, 2126 01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:09,200 Speaker 1: but first let's find out what is trending right now. 2127 01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:12,760 Speaker 1: Kevin Wirret is back a busy day in sports, Kevin Yeah. 2128 01:46:12,800 --> 01:46:16,400 Speaker 9: Adrian Warjanowski tweeting about fifteen to twenty minutes ago that 2129 01:46:16,920 --> 01:46:20,080 Speaker 9: Gianni's attended to. Koupo has been ruled out for tonight's 2130 01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:23,160 Speaker 9: Game three matchup with the Miami Heat with his back injury, 2131 01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,120 Speaker 9: so they'll have to try to take the advantage in 2132 01:46:26,200 --> 01:46:28,960 Speaker 9: the series without their best player. They're tied that one 2133 01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,400 Speaker 9: to one, tip off set for seven thirty Eastern time 2134 01:46:33,040 --> 01:46:36,040 Speaker 9: in Miami. As for the NBA action that has already 2135 01:46:36,080 --> 01:46:39,400 Speaker 9: occurred today, two games have gone final. The Suns beat 2136 01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:42,759 Speaker 9: the Clippers won twelve to one hundred as Kevin Durant 2137 01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,240 Speaker 9: went off with thirty one points and eleven rebounds. Russell 2138 01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:47,840 Speaker 9: Westbrook had a great game himself. He had thirty seven points. 2139 01:46:47,880 --> 01:46:51,320 Speaker 9: With the Clippers missing Kawhi Leonard unable to overcome the 2140 01:46:51,479 --> 01:46:53,960 Speaker 9: star power of the Phoenix Suns, they now take a 2141 01:46:54,040 --> 01:46:56,720 Speaker 9: three to one lead does Phoenix, leaving them one win 2142 01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:59,280 Speaker 9: away from advancing and the Clippers one win away from 2143 01:46:59,320 --> 01:47:03,040 Speaker 9: being eliminated from the playoffs. The first game of the day, 2144 01:47:03,120 --> 01:47:05,840 Speaker 9: the seventy six ers complete the sweep against the Brooklyn Nets, 2145 01:47:06,200 --> 01:47:09,200 Speaker 9: ninety six to eighty eight. As Philadelphia trailed by eight 2146 01:47:09,240 --> 01:47:12,240 Speaker 9: at halftime, Woult outscore the Nets by sixteen in the 2147 01:47:12,320 --> 01:47:14,599 Speaker 9: second half to win it by eight as they advance 2148 01:47:14,680 --> 01:47:19,080 Speaker 9: to the second round of the playoffs. One other game 2149 01:47:19,160 --> 01:47:21,920 Speaker 9: coming up besides that aforementioned Bucks and Heat game the 2150 01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:24,519 Speaker 9: Grizzlies and Lakers in Los Angeles. Tip Off for that 2151 01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:27,880 Speaker 9: game is set for ten o'clock Eastern. That would be 2152 01:47:27,960 --> 01:47:31,559 Speaker 9: game three. Series in that one tied at one game 2153 01:47:31,680 --> 01:47:35,880 Speaker 9: a piece. As for the NHL, they are late in 2154 01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:39,080 Speaker 9: the third period up in Winnipeg, the Vegas Golden Knights 2155 01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:41,400 Speaker 9: holding on to a narrow four to three lead over 2156 01:47:41,439 --> 01:47:44,880 Speaker 9: the Jets that got about five minutes ago in regulation. 2157 01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 9: The next game up on the schedule set to the 2158 01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:49,559 Speaker 9: Bucks up to drop in the next half an hour 2159 01:47:49,720 --> 01:47:53,240 Speaker 9: or so. Maple leafs and lightning down in Tampa coming 2160 01:47:53,400 --> 01:47:57,200 Speaker 9: up at eight o'clock Eastern. The series between the Devils 2161 01:47:57,240 --> 01:48:00,800 Speaker 9: and Rangers shifts across the Hudson at two as the 2162 01:48:00,960 --> 01:48:03,400 Speaker 9: Rangers that are ahead two nothing or trying to make 2163 01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:06,400 Speaker 9: it three to nothing in that series, and the Avalanche 2164 01:48:06,439 --> 01:48:10,519 Speaker 9: Kraken wrapping up the day's schedule. They'll be in Seattle 2165 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,920 Speaker 9: ten o'clock puck drop, and it's the first home playoff 2166 01:48:13,960 --> 01:48:18,599 Speaker 9: game in Seattle since the Kraken have joined the NHL, 2167 01:48:18,720 --> 01:48:20,680 Speaker 9: so it figures to be an electric atmosphere over there. 2168 01:48:20,720 --> 01:48:22,880 Speaker 1: Back to you guys, all right, Kevin, thank you very much. 2169 01:48:22,920 --> 01:48:25,880 Speaker 1: Once again, we're coming alive from the tiraq dot com studios. 2170 01:48:25,920 --> 01:48:28,760 Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about this Dereck Henry rumor that 2171 01:48:28,960 --> 01:48:32,120 Speaker 1: is flying all over the place right now about him 2172 01:48:32,160 --> 01:48:34,760 Speaker 1: maybe going to the Philadelphia Eagles. We're talking about a 2173 01:48:34,840 --> 01:48:38,280 Speaker 1: twenty nine year old running back who obviously is dominated 2174 01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:41,960 Speaker 1: over the last four plus years in the NFL, averaging 2175 01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:45,880 Speaker 1: over one hundred yards rushing per game over the last 2176 01:48:45,960 --> 01:48:49,479 Speaker 1: four seasons. How much interest would you have in Dereck Henry. 2177 01:48:50,400 --> 01:48:52,800 Speaker 2: Well some interest, but it just depends on Now, I 2178 01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:55,519 Speaker 2: mean the number. The number is big, not necessarily the 2179 01:48:55,640 --> 01:48:57,080 Speaker 2: number in terms of what you have to give up, 2180 01:48:57,120 --> 01:48:59,840 Speaker 2: but just a cap number. Twenty nine year ol running 2181 01:48:59,840 --> 01:49:02,599 Speaker 2: back you're talking about. On the downside, you normally don't 2182 01:49:02,600 --> 01:49:04,600 Speaker 2: want to get caught hold in the back because I 2183 01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,559 Speaker 2: think he has a few years left on the extension 2184 01:49:06,600 --> 01:49:09,400 Speaker 2: that he signed. A good player though, tone setter, and 2185 01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:11,439 Speaker 2: so you have to be at the right situation, meaning 2186 01:49:11,479 --> 01:49:13,800 Speaker 2: your team is real close to getting over the top, 2187 01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:16,960 Speaker 2: and you view him as that missing piece like that, 2188 01:49:17,520 --> 01:49:21,040 Speaker 2: that part of the game, either finishing it out, being 2189 01:49:21,080 --> 01:49:23,839 Speaker 2: able to score touchdowns down in the red zone, shortyard 2190 01:49:23,880 --> 01:49:27,080 Speaker 2: of situation where you need a premiere back. That would 2191 01:49:27,080 --> 01:49:29,080 Speaker 2: be the reason that you take a Derrick Henry because 2192 01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:31,439 Speaker 2: he doesn't offer you anything in the passing game, and 2193 01:49:31,520 --> 01:49:33,840 Speaker 2: so it's hard to invest so much money in a 2194 01:49:33,920 --> 01:49:37,160 Speaker 2: one dimensional running back when we're talking about a passing league. 2195 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:41,640 Speaker 1: I remember when Ladanian Tomlinson was let go by the 2196 01:49:41,840 --> 01:49:45,679 Speaker 1: Chargers after the nine season. He ended up with the Jets. 2197 01:49:45,720 --> 01:49:48,439 Speaker 1: Remember he got like the ankle tattoos, you know with 2198 01:49:48,520 --> 01:49:51,320 Speaker 1: the Jets and everything. But it was obvious once he 2199 01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,439 Speaker 1: got to the Jets, he was not the same guy. 2200 01:49:53,600 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 1: And of course, was there any running back that carried 2201 01:49:56,320 --> 01:49:59,240 Speaker 1: the ball or touched the ball more than Ladanian Tomlinson 2202 01:49:59,320 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 1: back in the day. I mentioned this because as we 2203 01:50:02,120 --> 01:50:05,519 Speaker 1: look into this draft, we keep talking about Jhon Robinson. 2204 01:50:05,640 --> 01:50:08,400 Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that Adam mentioned the Bills 2205 01:50:08,640 --> 01:50:11,880 Speaker 1: because earlier Bucky has said, well, there's something the Bills 2206 01:50:12,000 --> 01:50:15,719 Speaker 1: need right now, it's a running back. Do you honestly 2207 01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:19,640 Speaker 1: think there's any chance he falls that far in the 2208 01:50:19,680 --> 01:50:20,240 Speaker 1: first round. 2209 01:50:20,880 --> 01:50:23,000 Speaker 2: Maybe if you have all these people who are like 2210 01:50:23,160 --> 01:50:25,880 Speaker 2: kind of listening to the people talk about the devaluation 2211 01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:27,680 Speaker 2: of the running back in those things. But if you 2212 01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:31,120 Speaker 2: grade the player for what they are, like, Jon Robinson 2213 01:50:31,160 --> 01:50:33,000 Speaker 2: should be a top five pick. He's one of the 2214 01:50:33,080 --> 01:50:35,920 Speaker 2: top five most talented players in this draft class. 2215 01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:35,880 Speaker 4: And so. 2216 01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:38,200 Speaker 3: He should be long on. 2217 01:50:38,360 --> 01:50:40,760 Speaker 2: But if he's available and down in the twenties, there 2218 01:50:40,760 --> 01:50:42,760 Speaker 2: are a couple of teams that I would say might 2219 01:50:43,320 --> 01:50:45,599 Speaker 2: kind of take a chance on him before I would 2220 01:50:45,600 --> 01:50:49,759 Speaker 2: say the Chargers not Charges at twenty one, the Dallas 2221 01:50:49,840 --> 01:50:54,040 Speaker 2: Cowboys at twenty six. Before you even get to the 2222 01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:55,920 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills at twenty seven, I. 2223 01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:57,880 Speaker 1: Want to get back to the Seahawks and the Lions 2224 01:50:57,920 --> 01:51:00,639 Speaker 1: at five and six. I'm so intrigued they got these 2225 01:51:00,720 --> 01:51:04,880 Speaker 1: picks out of nowhere with both these teams. Essentially, jettisone 2226 01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:08,800 Speaker 1: quarterbacks thinking, oh, you know, our future is a little 2227 01:51:08,840 --> 01:51:12,320 Speaker 1: bit shady. We got you know, sort of like stopgap 2228 01:51:12,439 --> 01:51:15,639 Speaker 1: quarterbacks going on with the Gino Smith or Jerry Gofflin. 2229 01:51:15,720 --> 01:51:18,439 Speaker 1: Both these guys had Pro Bowl caliber years. Got I 2230 01:51:18,439 --> 01:51:20,920 Speaker 1: think should have been in the Pro Bowl. Geno was. 2231 01:51:22,160 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 1: But it's like, you get these bonus picks at five 2232 01:51:24,640 --> 01:51:27,519 Speaker 1: and six. Do you agree with my assessment? And apparently 2233 01:51:27,600 --> 01:51:30,320 Speaker 1: Adam did as well that there are probably more teams 2234 01:51:30,360 --> 01:51:33,160 Speaker 1: looking to trade down in this first round that move up, 2235 01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 1: I mean. 2236 01:51:36,400 --> 01:51:39,400 Speaker 2: A lot of time is driven by the players, you know, 2237 01:51:39,520 --> 01:51:41,400 Speaker 2: as much as you know, I know we all love 2238 01:51:41,560 --> 01:51:43,640 Speaker 2: like trading up and the excitement of that stuff, but 2239 01:51:44,080 --> 01:51:45,479 Speaker 2: there has to be a player that you want to 2240 01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,519 Speaker 2: move up for. And if there's not, like a premier player, 2241 01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,000 Speaker 2: it makes it hard to justify moving up. You just 2242 01:51:51,040 --> 01:51:52,720 Speaker 2: don't move up for the sake of moving up. And 2243 01:51:53,200 --> 01:51:55,559 Speaker 2: we talked about it. I mean the number of blue 2244 01:51:55,640 --> 01:51:58,200 Speaker 2: chip players, I say they're fifteen blue chip players in 2245 01:51:58,320 --> 01:52:02,160 Speaker 2: this draft. Unless it's one of those guys, there's no 2246 01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:05,439 Speaker 2: need to really move up because there's so many guys 2247 01:52:05,479 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 2: that are similarly graded at the same position. 2248 01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:10,160 Speaker 3: You just wait and take the next guy. 2249 01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:11,840 Speaker 2: And so I don't know if there would be a 2250 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,519 Speaker 2: lot of interest, because if it's not the quarterback driving it, 2251 01:52:14,960 --> 01:52:17,120 Speaker 2: I don't know what other position would drive people moving 2252 01:52:17,200 --> 01:52:17,800 Speaker 2: up and down the board. 2253 01:52:17,800 --> 01:52:19,800 Speaker 1: All right, Coming up on the other side, our predictions 2254 01:52:19,840 --> 01:52:21,760 Speaker 1: on which teams are gonna merge out of the first 2255 01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,760 Speaker 1: round the NBA playoffs. One's already there. I'm gonna pick 2256 01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:28,160 Speaker 1: the Sixers. I'm gonna pick the Sixers to get Oh, 2257 01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:30,240 Speaker 1: they already did, all right, so they swept the Nets. 2258 01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:33,760 Speaker 1: Any other surprises in the first round, And I'm gonna 2259 01:52:33,760 --> 01:52:38,400 Speaker 1: ask Bucky Brooks who will be the first five players 2260 01:52:38,560 --> 01:52:44,640 Speaker 1: picked in this year's NFL draft.

And Brandon, 2280 01:53:43,600 --> 01:53:46,040 Speaker 1: our brilliant producer, is very excited about a hockey game. 2281 01:53:46,080 --> 01:53:48,839 Speaker 1: What's going on here, Brandon with the hockey? Yeah, Winnipeg 2282 01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:50,760 Speaker 1: just tied it with twenty one seconds to go, so 2283 01:53:50,840 --> 01:53:53,400 Speaker 1: it's going overtime. Overtime hockey in the playoffs. I did 2284 01:53:53,439 --> 01:53:55,760 Speaker 1: not know you were a diehard Winnipeg fan. 2285 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:56,280 Speaker 8: I'm not. 2286 01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:57,719 Speaker 1: I just love playoff hockey. 2287 01:53:57,960 --> 01:53:58,200 Speaker 4: Wow. 2288 01:53:58,320 --> 01:54:02,120 Speaker 1: Well, I love playoff hockey too. Like in almost every sport, 2289 01:54:02,160 --> 01:54:04,120 Speaker 1: the intensity goes up, but it's not even the same 2290 01:54:04,320 --> 01:54:09,160 Speaker 1: sport the way they play hockey in the NHL during 2291 01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:11,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs as they do in the regular season. So 2292 01:54:11,520 --> 01:54:13,880 Speaker 1: we got a lot of playoff excitement going on here, 2293 01:54:14,040 --> 01:54:18,559 Speaker 1: Bucky throughout. You know, I don't know if we're gonna 2294 01:54:18,560 --> 01:54:20,639 Speaker 1: see a lot of upsets. I do want to ask 2295 01:54:20,720 --> 01:54:25,560 Speaker 1: you though about this Lakers Grizzlies series. Even though I 2296 01:54:25,640 --> 01:54:27,280 Speaker 1: heard Giannis is not going to be playing for the 2297 01:54:27,360 --> 01:54:31,439 Speaker 1: Bucks today, we do expect to see Jean Moran back 2298 01:54:31,520 --> 01:54:35,080 Speaker 1: in uniform for the Memphis Grizzlies. I mentioned before the 2299 01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:37,280 Speaker 1: last time the Lakers had a playoff game, not a 2300 01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:40,040 Speaker 1: playing game, but a playoff game with a full house 2301 01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:43,560 Speaker 1: at home, it's like a decade ago, So it's been 2302 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:51,080 Speaker 1: a long time something. Okay, Yeah, Mic Phon, Yeah, that's okay. 2303 01:54:51,920 --> 01:54:54,120 Speaker 1: Hang on to that Mic for a second here. Who 2304 01:54:54,160 --> 01:54:55,480 Speaker 1: do you like in that series? Do you think the 2305 01:54:55,560 --> 01:54:58,360 Speaker 1: Lakers will prevail as the seventh seed? You like the Grizzlies? 2306 01:54:58,560 --> 01:54:59,960 Speaker 1: Which way you're leaning in that series? 2307 01:55:00,800 --> 01:55:03,920 Speaker 2: I think the Lakers eventially for real, obviously, I don't 2308 01:55:03,960 --> 01:55:05,800 Speaker 2: know why Dylan Brooks decided to poke the bear a 2309 01:55:05,840 --> 01:55:07,920 Speaker 2: little bit when it came to Lebron, unless he's trying 2310 01:55:07,960 --> 01:55:12,080 Speaker 2: to get Lebron to play a little more on one ball. 2311 01:55:12,240 --> 01:55:16,360 Speaker 2: But it's a situation where if Ad and Lebron play 2312 01:55:16,360 --> 01:55:18,400 Speaker 2: at a high level, they are better teams than in 2313 01:55:18,400 --> 01:55:22,040 Speaker 2: the Memphis Jersey, particularly if Jean Morin isn't playing. Then 2314 01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:24,720 Speaker 2: Memphis Grizzlies played great the last game. But we'll see 2315 01:55:24,800 --> 01:55:26,720 Speaker 2: going home, this is the most important game for the Lakers. 2316 01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:29,440 Speaker 3: They need to win this one to kind of steal 2317 01:55:29,520 --> 01:55:31,800 Speaker 3: the momentum back and then put the pressure back on Memphis. 2318 01:55:31,880 --> 01:55:33,480 Speaker 3: So I spared them to do that. So I'm gonna 2319 01:55:33,480 --> 01:55:34,880 Speaker 3: go with the Lakers in this series. 2320 01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:38,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I still don't know what happened in that game too. 2321 01:55:39,240 --> 01:55:43,480 Speaker 1: I mean to have to be reminded when you have Lebron, James, 2322 01:55:43,520 --> 01:55:46,840 Speaker 1: and Anthony Davis that there are no walkovers, especially when 2323 01:55:46,880 --> 01:55:51,160 Speaker 1: it comes to the playoffs. These guys should know Lebron 2324 01:55:51,240 --> 01:55:59,160 Speaker 1: played Okay, Ad was awful in that game. Awful Hatchamurica 2325 01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:01,600 Speaker 1: continue to play well another twenty points off the bench, 2326 01:56:01,880 --> 01:56:03,720 Speaker 1: But a lot of guys didn't play well in that game. 2327 01:56:03,800 --> 01:56:08,880 Speaker 1: So I agree with you. The Lakers should win that. 2328 01:56:08,960 --> 01:56:11,880 Speaker 3: Series because you don't sound as confident. 2329 01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:14,760 Speaker 1: Well because because you don't know which Laker team's gonna 2330 01:56:14,800 --> 01:56:16,520 Speaker 1: show up, well, you never do. 2331 01:56:16,720 --> 01:56:17,240 Speaker 3: But they played. 2332 01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:18,960 Speaker 2: They look, they've been one of the best teams. They're 2333 01:56:18,960 --> 01:56:20,400 Speaker 2: not the best team the second half of the season, 2334 01:56:20,480 --> 01:56:22,360 Speaker 2: like after the post after the All Star break, they've 2335 01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:22,880 Speaker 2: been terrific. 2336 01:56:23,040 --> 01:56:25,600 Speaker 3: And so they found their way with their new guys. 2337 01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:26,680 Speaker 1: The new guys, and they're healthy. 2338 01:56:27,280 --> 01:56:29,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, the role players play better. 2339 01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:31,480 Speaker 1: Let me ask this at home when when you're watching 2340 01:56:31,720 --> 01:56:34,880 Speaker 1: layup after layup inside, why is Mobama on the bench? 2341 01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:38,600 Speaker 1: Why why is he on the bench? I mean, if 2342 01:56:38,640 --> 01:56:41,560 Speaker 1: if you don't if you're not getting any rim protection, 2343 01:56:42,160 --> 01:56:43,560 Speaker 1: is he really am protector? 2344 01:56:43,880 --> 01:56:44,280 Speaker 3: I don't know. 2345 01:56:44,400 --> 01:56:47,120 Speaker 1: I mean, by the way, did you see the post 2346 01:56:47,200 --> 01:56:50,240 Speaker 1: game with Austin Reeves talking the media, Mobama was eating 2347 01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:53,640 Speaker 1: a meal still in his uniform after the game. Did 2348 01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,160 Speaker 1: you see this? It was crazy as they ever saw. 2349 01:56:56,480 --> 01:57:01,240 Speaker 1: So Mobama played exactly one minute in that game, was 2350 01:57:01,720 --> 01:57:05,400 Speaker 1: munching away on a postgame meal, still in uniform, while 2351 01:57:05,480 --> 01:57:07,160 Speaker 1: Reeves was trying to address the media. 2352 01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:11,240 Speaker 3: He can't he doesn't deserve to eat because I don't know. 2353 01:57:11,520 --> 01:57:14,800 Speaker 1: At some point if if they're getting just lay up 2354 01:57:14,880 --> 01:57:17,320 Speaker 1: after layout, maybe I put somebody else in there, a 2355 01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:19,720 Speaker 1: big guy, to see if they can swatch something away. 2356 01:57:19,960 --> 01:57:23,800 Speaker 1: Then they signed Tristan Thompson. I don't know. We'll see again. 2357 01:57:23,840 --> 01:57:27,440 Speaker 1: I'm look at I like Darvin Ham, the person. I 2358 01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,680 Speaker 1: like Darvin Ham, how he sort of carries himself as 2359 01:57:30,760 --> 01:57:34,000 Speaker 1: head coach. I'm still not satisfied with the results he's 2360 01:57:34,360 --> 01:57:36,600 Speaker 1: he stands there on the sideline with his hands in 2361 01:57:36,680 --> 01:57:41,600 Speaker 1: his pockets, with the thumbs hanging out. You know, without Jackson, 2362 01:57:42,600 --> 01:57:48,320 Speaker 1: for Jackson, the legs of the coach, I can stand there. 2363 01:57:48,200 --> 01:57:50,960 Speaker 3: With the field. Jackson used to cross his legs and 2364 01:57:51,080 --> 01:57:51,760 Speaker 3: not say anything. 2365 01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:55,360 Speaker 1: All right, now you are going to be posting your 2366 01:57:55,480 --> 01:57:56,880 Speaker 1: final mock draft. 2367 01:57:57,440 --> 01:57:58,400 Speaker 3: I think Monday. 2368 01:57:58,440 --> 01:58:01,040 Speaker 1: I think Monday. But I just want to sneak peek 2369 01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:04,200 Speaker 1: right now, all right, I want you to tell us 2370 01:58:04,680 --> 01:58:09,640 Speaker 1: who you believe will be the first five players taking 2371 01:58:09,720 --> 01:58:11,920 Speaker 1: this draft. Now we don't know the teams. Right now, 2372 01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:15,320 Speaker 1: it's the Panthers, Texans, Cardinals, Colts, and Seahawks sitting with 2373 01:58:15,440 --> 01:58:17,880 Speaker 1: the top five picks. There could be a multitude of 2374 01:58:17,960 --> 01:58:22,240 Speaker 1: trades or no trades at all. But when it's all settled. 2375 01:58:23,200 --> 01:58:25,240 Speaker 1: Who will be the number one pick in this draft? 2376 01:58:25,640 --> 01:58:26,840 Speaker 3: Oh? Bryce Young is number one. 2377 01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:29,680 Speaker 1: Bryce Young will be number one. Who will be the 2378 01:58:30,040 --> 01:58:31,880 Speaker 1: second pick in this draft? 2379 01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:35,280 Speaker 3: Is a Houston Texans pick. It's gonna be Tyree Wilson. 2380 01:58:37,320 --> 01:58:39,560 Speaker 1: If they traded away, it's going to be a quarterback. 2381 01:58:40,360 --> 01:58:43,800 Speaker 1: Why would anybody move up for? Is anyone moving up 2382 01:58:43,840 --> 01:58:47,400 Speaker 1: for an edge guy? No, it would not seem so 2383 01:58:48,200 --> 01:58:49,600 Speaker 1: number three pick. Who do you think he'll be? 2384 01:58:49,880 --> 01:58:52,360 Speaker 3: If theirs on the corners, I'll just to be Will Anderson. 2385 01:58:53,280 --> 01:58:58,000 Speaker 1: Will Anderson, So quarterback edge edge. Now you got the 2386 01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,280 Speaker 1: Colts sitting at four. They need a quarterback? Are they 2387 01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:02,760 Speaker 1: going to take a quarterback? Quarterback is coming off the 2388 01:59:02,800 --> 01:59:04,360 Speaker 1: boarder this pic. Now, it's a matter if it is 2389 01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:06,760 Speaker 1: the c J. Stroud or Will Levis. I think at 2390 01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:08,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, cooler heads prevail. 2391 01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:10,320 Speaker 3: C J. Stroud goes to the calls at this pick. 2392 01:59:10,520 --> 01:59:16,920 Speaker 1: Okay, seriously, if the Colts were to take Levis over Stroud, 2393 01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:18,840 Speaker 1: would you call them and saying what are you doing? 2394 01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:21,960 Speaker 2: I mean, I would just I would just laugh for 2395 01:59:22,080 --> 01:59:25,480 Speaker 2: my Jacksonville Jaguars. It'd be great, cool all right? 2396 01:59:25,560 --> 01:59:27,240 Speaker 1: And then the Seahawks are sitting in five. Do you 2397 01:59:27,320 --> 01:59:29,160 Speaker 1: expect them to keep that pick or trade down? 2398 01:59:29,480 --> 01:59:30,880 Speaker 3: Oh? No, no, you got to keep the pick. I 2399 01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:32,640 Speaker 3: mean this is a luxury pick. You get a top 2400 01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:35,360 Speaker 3: five pick. Yeah. The thing will be who do they 2401 01:59:35,520 --> 01:59:36,040 Speaker 3: go after. 2402 01:59:37,240 --> 01:59:39,560 Speaker 2: I thought about Christian Gonzalez a cornerback to go with 2403 01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:42,640 Speaker 2: Tyreek Woodland so they can recreate the legit of boom right. 2404 01:59:42,960 --> 01:59:46,000 Speaker 2: I thought about Jaylen Carter being a monster on the inside, 2405 01:59:46,800 --> 01:59:48,520 Speaker 2: being able to give them something they haven't had in 2406 01:59:48,520 --> 01:59:52,480 Speaker 2: a long time. He dominate inside presence, so that would match. 2407 01:59:54,160 --> 01:59:56,000 Speaker 2: Those two guys are the ones that I think are 2408 01:59:56,080 --> 01:59:56,520 Speaker 2: in mix. 2409 01:59:56,760 --> 01:59:59,240 Speaker 1: All right, So NFL dot Com Bucky Brooks will have 2410 01:59:59,360 --> 02:00:02,040 Speaker 1: his mock drought up Monday or is it out Tuesday? 2411 02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:05,080 Speaker 1: It'll be out Monday. I think it's Monday, Monday, all right, 2412 02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:07,720 Speaker 1: So you're working on that right now. Did anything happen 2413 02:00:07,800 --> 02:00:10,240 Speaker 1: during the show to change your mind about the upcoming draft? 2414 02:00:10,840 --> 02:00:10,880 Speaker 4: No? 2415 02:00:12,160 --> 02:00:13,720 Speaker 3: Nothing, nothing at all. 2416 02:00:14,280 --> 02:00:17,880 Speaker 1: Wait to get here and be watching Bucky because he's 2417 02:00:17,880 --> 02:00:20,200 Speaker 1: going to be all consumed. We're going to be all consumed, 2418 02:00:20,520 --> 02:00:22,680 Speaker 1: all right, Folks, don't go anywhere, just keep it right here. 2419 02:00:22,760 --> 02:00:24,040 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Radio.
