1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Sports Radio.

3
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:09,800
Speaker 2: Timing is everything, everything in life, certainly in sports. And

4
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: I was wondering about this article on ESPN dot com

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 2: about the Eagles blaming Jalen Hurts. Why now the beginning

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 2: of April? Why now? Timing is everything? The Ravens organization

7
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: blamed the media for blowing the Max Crosby situation out

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 2: of proportion because it was a slow news day. Victor

9
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: Wembenyama and the Spurs closing in on OKC. He put

10
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 2: up forty one points last night, eighteen rebounds. It looked

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: like a fantasy camp, you know the Golden State Warriors,

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: where you pay money and you're in a fantasy camp

13
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: and you get to play against the pros. That's what

14
00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,080
Speaker 2: it looked like last night. You had Wemby out there,

15
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 2: and then you had a bunch of guys with the

16
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: Warriors who had weird numbers like sixty one, seventy seven.

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: I go, what is going on here? And Wemby put

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 2: up a great performance and now two games behind OKC,

19
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 2: is it gonna come down to who has the best record,

20
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: Who's going to win the MVP? Fritzi accused me of maybe,

21
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, maybe piling on too much Wemby love where

22
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: he said, are we starting to get wembed out?

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 3: I wonder if in general, you know, he's amazing and

24
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: it's a unicorn, but it's like forty points and seventeen

25
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: rebounds and nine blocks in the first six minutes of

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 3: the game.

27
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 2: Are you saying you're wem beat out.

28
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 4: I'm on the precipice.

29
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 3: I'm not there yet, but I can see that there's

30
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: something that might say, like, Okay, we don't have to

31
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 3: go nineteen minutes on Wemby.

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 2: I I'm all in on Wemby. I think he's fascinating.

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Certainly watch an entire game, and I'd still love to

34
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: have a stat of shots altered. He only had three

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 2: block shots last night, and you know he wasn't playing

36
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: against a good Warrior team, but the altering shot is

37
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 2: pretty incredible there, and he's putting up these great numbers

38
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: at the end of the season. Closing in on OKC.

39
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: All right, yes, Marvin, so.

40
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 5: Fritzy, we're tired of the most unique player that we've

41
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 5: ever seen in our lifetime.

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying now, but I'm saying it's going in

43
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: that direction. It's started to slowly roll to It's like, wow,

44
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 3: that's a lot of Wemby things.

45
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: So you're going to get negative in advance of everything.

46
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 5: I just want to get that going.

47
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Okay, Yes, Paul, I thought.

48
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 4: It was quite the opposite last night. I'm just about

49
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,519
Speaker 4: to hit the sack. I see spurs worries about to start.

50
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 4: I'm like, okay, I can watch a half, and like

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 4: you said, it was like watching he was not working

52
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 4: hard last night for his forty one and eighteen, he

53
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: had every shot in the book.

54
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 2: It was a blast to watch. He's the focal point.

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: And here's another thing. You know, a lot of times

56
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 2: you'll go to your go to move or a spot

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: on the floor. Wemby doesn't necessarily have a go to

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 2: move yet, which is kind of frightening. But I do

59
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 2: wonder what's going to happen because eventually somebody's gonna not

60
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 2: hack a shack because Wemby is a really good free

61
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 2: throw shooter, but they will rough him up a little bit,

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: or at least they'll try to. We don't have enforcers

63
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: in the game the way we once did. I mean

64
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: Draymond Green, Desmond Baine. You know, maybe there's a couple

65
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: of guys that are enforcers or like to appear to

66
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: be enforcers, but the game is perimeter based. And if

67
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: Wemby can go one on one with you and beat

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,799
Speaker 2: you off the dribble, he's going to do that pull

69
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: up jumper. He's got that, he can shoot a three,

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: He's going to do that. But I think eventually, you

71
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: know what, you know, these scouting reports will be like, Okay,

72
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: they know what Lucas going to do, they know what

73
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 2: Joker will do, they know what Sga is going to do.

74
00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: That's the greatness of these players. They you know what

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: they're going to do and they're able to do it.

76
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: And that's where Wemby is going to be forced to

77
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: go in certain areas or use his left hand. Now,

78
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 2: that's going to be the evolution of him. He's only

79
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: twenty two years of age. We get caught up on

80
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: playoff experience now that used to be big thing back

81
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: in the eighties and nineties, two thousands, where you go, well,

82
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 2: they haven't had any playoff experience. Well, Wemby was on

83
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: Sports Center with Scott Van Pelt and here's Van Pease's question.

84
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: History says, well, you kind of need to take your lumpch.

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:17,280
Speaker 6: You need to have been there.

86
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: The more I watch you, the.

87
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: More I think I don't think so. I feel like

88
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 2: you are all all ready to go.

89
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 7: What's your sense of that the value of something that

90
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 7: you all just don't have together yet.

91
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, we don't have experience, right, screw it. I mean

92
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 6: that's all we got. We are not going to play

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 6: any different ways. Is because it is this way. I mean, well,

94
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 6: it's still going to play one hundred percent and go

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 6: to try to win this championship.

96
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 4: Sure, screw it, screw it.

97
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 2: This is year three of Wemby, not year one, And

98
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 2: I think because of that, sometimes you'll see these teams

99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: they don't know any better. The Spurs are a really

100
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: young team for the most part, and they've had success

101
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: against Okasee. Yes, his playoff basketball differently different, Yes it is.

102
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: It's a referee differently, it's played differently, more half court physicality,

103
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 2: and you know, it's a seven game series or a

104
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 2: five game series, and normally the best team wins. It's

105
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: not a one and done. It's not March madness. But

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 2: Wemby last night put up some pretty impressive numbers. Granted

107
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 2: against a depleted Warrior team. They had the wrong Curry

108
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: out there. Draymond is not Draymon anymore, but forty one

109
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,919
Speaker 2: and eighteen pretty impressive for him. Yes, paulin the.

110
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 4: Starting lineup for the Warriors, Draymond Green at six six

111
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 4: was the tallest guy. Everyone else was six to four

112
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 4: or lower. Like you said, it looked like a fantasy camp.

113
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 4: You know, hey, guys, we get to play against Wemby. Yeah,

114
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 4: it's gonna be great. We did our shot blocked.

115
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 2: Paul. What's poll question today? Seton first hour?

116
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 8: Go on here from Paul if you could have any

117
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,919
Speaker 8: current NBA player for the next five years, same price.

118
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 8: The options here are Luca SG, Nikola Jokic, Victor Woman Yama, others.

119
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 4: We can name them.

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 8: Perhaps I noticed there's no Yanis on here. That's an

121
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 8: interesting omission. Yeah, I don't want Jannis for five more years. Yeah, nope, nope,

122
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 8: it's kind of crazy. Yeah, came and went, yeah, that's

123
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 8: still a story. I mean, it's in Milwaukee. If it

124
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 8: was in New York or LA, this would be a

125
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 8: huge story. But here's when you know you got Giannis.

126
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 8: He's like, I want to play, and you know, it's

127
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 8: like a healthy scratch. I can't imagine that this survives.

128
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 8: But yeah, there's only one answer to that.

129
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 2: It's Wemby. He's twenty two. I mean, Sja is wonderful, Luca,

130
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 2: but for five years I get Wemby absolutely absolutely, he

131
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: hadn't even got to his prime. You can make a

132
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: case maybe Sga and Luka Joker they are in their prime.

133
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 8: Sja is twenty seven already, Yeah, not to turn twenty eight. Yeah,

134
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 8: that's I would have thought he was younger. Yes, I agree, Yeah, Paully.

135
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 4: When I see in the poll question, I really hesitated

136
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 4: in Giannis and he's the same age as Jokis, they're

137
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 4: the same age. But Yannis last year thirty twelve, six

138
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 4: and a half, it feels like a long time ago though.

139
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And you know he's been banged up, he's

140
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 2: had the calf injuries. He just haven't hasn't been able

141
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: to stay healthy. But you know he's and and he

142
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: had that window and then he got to the point

143
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 2: wherever you take him for granted, and that's where he is.

144
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: When he puts up these same with Joker, you kind

145
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: of go, oh, okay, another triple double. Yes, Marvin Wenby's

146
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 2: the face of the league right now. Right, it's close

147
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: because it's closed. I mean, I'm sure the league would

148
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: like to have Sga maybe as the face since he's

149
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: the reigning MVP. They just want a title. Lebron is emeritus,

150
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: Curry's emeritus, KD. But Wembley's close.

151
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 5: But you got to put all your eggs into Wemby basket.

152
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 2: Right, Oh, I'm I'm there. That's my Easter egg right,

153
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: I mean it's I got him. I got my basket

154
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: full of Easter eggs.

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 5: It's Wemby right Because I'm not saying that he's the

156
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 5: best player right now, Sga Joker. But you're not running

157
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 5: to the TV to see both of those guys play, right, Wenby.

158
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 5: You're man, I gotta see this guy play.

159
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 2: Yes, there's a fascination, just like with Steph Curry and

160
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 2: I don't know many other players, even Joker, who I

161
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: love watching play. He's just his highlights are usually a pass. Sga.

162
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: You know, there's no highlights there. It's just it's methodical.

163
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 2: It's he's gonna do that. He's going to go to

164
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 2: the line, he's gonna hit you know, big jumpers. He

165
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 2: can get to the hoop. But other than that, you

166
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 2: know you don't have those, boy, I got to see

167
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: that guy. Yes, every player on that list is a

168
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,320
Speaker 2: really good player. It's a great player. But there's one

169
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: unicorn on the list. Yes, yeah, how do you not

170
00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 2: take that guy? Well, God wouldn't God is Wemby down?

171
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 3: Yes, Tod and Joker thirty one? If you're taking him

172
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: for the next five years, he's got one foot out

173
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 3: the door. He can't wait to hang out with his

174
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 3: horses and go to the back of the barn. So

175
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 3: is that someone you can really pick for the next

176
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 3: five years.

177
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,079
Speaker 2: No, No, he'll continue to put him. It's not like

178
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: he's gonna slow down because he's already slow. It's not

179
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: like he can't jump anymore because he couldn't jump. He'll

180
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,880
Speaker 2: be this way. He's going to be the guy who's

181
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 2: fifty years of age when you're playing at the Y

182
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 2: and you go, damn, my guy's crushing us. That's gonna

183
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: be Joker. As long as he wants to play, as

184
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: long as he's enthused, then he'll put up those great numbers.

185
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: The old guy at the Why Now, there's always one

186
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: of those guys. I remember I played at the Downtown

187
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 2: Athletic Club baseball passes from under the rope. Come on, dude,

188
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: what the heck with this guy? And this is back

189
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: in the early eighties. I just may just got into

190
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: New York and I'm Downtown Athletic Club where they used

191
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 2: to have the Heisman ceremony, and I'll be damned if

192
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: this guy came out. He might have been the last pick.

193
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: And he he was torching everybody. And then somebody said, oh, yeah,

194
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 2: he played at the Yale back in the sixties. It

195
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 2: was like forty eight years of age or something and

196
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 2: crushing people back door passes, you know, pick and roll, pump,

197
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:14,719
Speaker 2: fake all of this.

198
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 8: I'm going, man, this guy is crushing everybody. Fundamentals right

199
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 8: now are just off the charts. Yes, Mark, the guys

200
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,839
Speaker 8: that look like Arnie Duncan are going to kill you.

201
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 2: A couple other pieces of news, Fernando Mendoza had his

202
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 2: pro day. More on that coming up. Tiger Woods is

203
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 2: allowed to go overseas for rehab. Hohokunukua is going into

204
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 2: rehab in Malibu. Bill self does not enter the retirement portal.

205
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: He is going to come back for one more year

206
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,199
Speaker 2: at Kansas. What other poll questions are we considering their seat? No, counter, well,

207
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:55,680
Speaker 2: we got.

208
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 4: That one going up.

209
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 8: With those four options, we're going to let that roll

210
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 8: through our one. We also have another suggestion here from

211
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 8: paul I'm getting tired of Wemban Yama Coverage or Todd.

212
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: Well. I have been accused of falling in love with

213
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 2: you know, players before, usually ahead of the curve. But

214
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 2: with Wemby, Uh, just fascinating. Fascinating to watch the development

215
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: of somebody on a night in, night out basis and

216
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 2: get that he's got confidence. But he's twenty two years

217
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: of age, you know, Cooper Flag, you know what, did

218
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: he turn twenty or is he still nineteen? That's very

219
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 2: impressive with what he's doing. But I look at his

220
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: ceiling and I look at Wemby's ceiling, and they're different.

221
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,319
Speaker 2: Wemby's got a higher ceiling, yes, Pauline.

222
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 4: Cooper Flag turned nineteen back in December. Okay. The one

223
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 4: thing with Wemby, unlike Steph where people imitate or they'll

224
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: catch up or learn to cover them. There's not a

225
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 4: bunch of seventh three guys on the way. They are

226
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 4: athletic who are going to match up with this guy.

227
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 4: He's going to be the tallest, most athletic guy for

228
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 4: a long time. There's not another guy like him coming.

229
00:12:08,760 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 2: Now yet Now, Yet it happens quickly where all of

230
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: a sudden there'll be somebody and you go, oh boy,

231
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: you know, and that's the beauty of the NBA. Like

232
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 2: every once in a while there's a player and you go, wow,

233
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: that's different. You know, Shaq was different. He was bigger

234
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,800
Speaker 2: than Wilt Chamberlain. You know, with Michael gave us different Bird,

235
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 2: it was different. Magic it was different. I mean we've

236
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 2: been treated to so many that guy's different. And they

237
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: played differently. Magic played differently than anybody. Mike played different,

238
00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: Larry played different. And now you got Wemby who plays different.

239
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: Steph Curry, they played different. And you know, basketball has

240
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: been around, you know for hundreds of years or at

241
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:03,480
Speaker 2: least one hundred years, and reinventing how to play the game.

242
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: That's remarkable. Of all the people who play the game,

243
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: Steff did something nobody else had done. Now Wemby's doing

244
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 2: that shacked to a certain degree. Mike certainly did Magic

245
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: as a six to eight point guard. Larry that was different.

246
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 2: And you have these guys who come along and you go.

247
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 2: That's I'll go back to Elgin Baylor. That was different,

248
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 2: a six or four guy who could lead the league

249
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 2: in rebounding and score sixty points in a game. Jerry

250
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: West was different, Maravich was different. I mean that's the

251
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: beauty of basketball. It occasionally will birth somebody playing the

252
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 2: way that nobody else has played before.

253
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 5: Yes, Marvin, one of the most overused terms is generational talent.

254
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,719
Speaker 5: But I'm glad Wemby's an actual generational talent because we

255
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: haven't seen this type of hype around somebody since Lebron.

256
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,559
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, and you know Lebron in fairness to him,

257
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 2: I mean he's unique. The fact that he could probably

258
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 2: play one more year. Would that'd be his twenty fourth year.

259
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: I mean it's remarkable. Sixty thousand points, yeah, seton.

260
00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I mean Lebron more than match to that jump.

261
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

274
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 4: That we're playing the guess the NFL news game?

275
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, Aaron Rodgers is coming back.

276
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,560
Speaker 4: Okay. Kirk Cousins has signed a contract for next season. Okay,

277
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 4: whom has he signed a contract with?

278
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: Todd? The Browns? And and get another quarterback? All right,

279
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: Satan This this was described as lightly saucy.

280
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 4: It's a bit confusing as a strategy for this team. Okay,

281
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 4: how about the Steelers? He signed with the Steelers?

282
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 10: Then?

283
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 2: Okay, Marvin.

284
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 4: The Vikings. We guess No, that's saucy though, Yeah, how.

285
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: About the Rams?

286
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: According to his agent, kirk Cousins has signed with the Raiders.

287
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: What okay, the Las Vegas Raiders.

288
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 4: I checked, they're still in Vegas.

289
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 11: Okay, what.

290
00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: I'm good with it? Why because I don't want Mendoza

291
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 2: If he's not ready to start right away. And even

292
00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: if he does start right away, you got Kirk Cousins there.

293
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 2: He knows that he's not going to be going to

294
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 2: be starting. You know, the future is right there for

295
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: Nando Mendoza. He knows that Kirk Cousins be a great soldier. There,

296
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm okay with that. Yeah, I'm a problem with it.

297
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:36,600
Speaker 2: What why Why do you have a problem with that? Why?

298
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 8: Why are you going to take a quarterback number one

299
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 8: overall and then have him immediately step into the king

300
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 8: of quarterback controversies?

301
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 2: There's no controversy here, No, there is no there's no

302
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: none with Kirk de Cousins. Yes, Paul, I.

303
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: Got a couple things on this. You bring in Kirk Cousins,

304
00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 4: that means you're spending money you didn't need to spend.

305
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 4: You could let Aid O'Connell get thrown to the walls

306
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 4: for seven games and then bringing Mendoza. Secondly, what if

307
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins plays really well, what's the plan?

308
00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 2: Like Fernanda Mendoza is the plan?

309
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 4: Okay? And why did you just sign Kirk Cousins.

310
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: How much am I paying Kirk Cousins. They haven't released

311
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm probably not paying.

312
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 8: Him anywhere in the ballpark of seventy five a year, apparently,

313
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 8: because that's about what his agent is able to do.

314
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 4: Let's say it was eight million a year for two years.

315
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 4: Each year's eight that's really light, right, You could spend

316
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 4: that on a guard.

317
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks go through the entire year playing every game?

318
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 4: Third point, is there any chance they're not drafting Mendoza

319
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 4: with a number one pick? And after this signing, there's

320
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,320
Speaker 4: no chase, no zero. Okay, if you are you bringing

321
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins, it now gives you the flexibility to trade

322
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: down with that pick.

323
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: Okay, I've said that for a while that that's what

324
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 2: if I was running the Raiders. If I don't feel

325
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 2: like I have a great offensive line and I got

326
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 2: a rookie head coach and I'm going to bring in

327
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: a rookie quarterback, do I want to trade down and

328
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 2: maybe get four first round draft picks? Or I could

329
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 2: trade him to the Jet trade the pick to the

330
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 2: Jets and get four first round draft picks? Does that

331
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 2: make more sense. I don't think Fernando Mendoza is a

332
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: Andrew Luck John Elway generational, but I do think he

333
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 2: is a great person. To represent your franchise. He played

334
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 2: big and big games. I like everything I hear, I

335
00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 2: like everything I see. I don't know if he's Lamar

336
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: Jackson or Josh Allen or Joe Burrow. I don't think

337
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,679
Speaker 2: he's in that category. And you know, not many quarterbacks are,

338
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 2: in fairness to him, I just I got to make

339
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 2: sure that I have a good team, not necessarily just

340
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 2: a good quarterback. Clint Kubiak, who's the new head coach,

341
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 2: he was a former coordinator with Kirk D. Cousins. They

342
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: spent three years together, and Kubiak would not bring in

343
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins to disrupt what they're trying to do. He

344
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 2: would bring Kirk Cousin in and say, you're going to

345
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 2: be kind of my quarterbacks coach. You're a backup quarterback

346
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 2: here because I can't imagine you go boy open for competition,

347
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 2: because that I don't think helps anybody here. Yes, Tom, whatever.

348
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 3: Happened to those feared nasty Silver and Black Raiders you're

349
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,200
Speaker 3: talking about? Kirk Cousins and men, those a couple of

350
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 3: choir boys. Those are your quarterbacks. That is so bizarre

351
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 3: for those to be Raiders.

352
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, you have to agree It's a shocking strategy

353
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,959
Speaker 4: for a team that seems to be on the build

354
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 4: and not ready to win.

355
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 2: Now, I like it, but I'd like it because I

356
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 2: know Kirk cousins personality.

357
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 10: Here.

358
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: This isn't Michael Pennix. This to me is different than

359
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: that because Atlanta brought in Kirk Cousins and paid him

360
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 2: all of that money. Now, all of a sudden, you go,

361
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 2: wait a minute, what did you do with that draft pick?

362
00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: That to me was a crazy strategy. This is Kirk.

363
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 2: You're not going to get paid, you know, anywhere near

364
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 2: what you've been paid before. You want to come in.

365
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: You can be a backup. You know the head coach,

366
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: You've worked with him. We want you to come in.

367
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 2: We want you to help Fernando Mendoza be a better quarterback,

368
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 2: a ready quarterback.

369
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:27,040
Speaker 8: Yes, Ston, So if you're the Jets right now, I mean,

370
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 8: I'm on the phone to the Raiders. So what do

371
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 8: you want for number one?

372
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, you got Geno Smith. I know it's

373
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: going to lead you to the promise line.

374
00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 8: That's a perfect guy to not have a quarterback controversy with.

375
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 2: I would if you really want Fernando Mendoza, if I'm

376
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 2: the Jets, and maybe you've got a chance to get

377
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: it right. Then I would be all in on Fernando Mendoza.

378
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 2: And if I'm the Raiders, I have to at least

379
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 2: listen to this, and if you as long as I

380
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: have confidence in my you know, scouting department and those

381
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: making the draft picks when I get these first round pigs.

382
00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: But I don't know if I would be totally confident

383
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 2: with that.

384
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 4: Yes, Paul, you do this twenty hours after Fernando Mendoza's

385
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,119
Speaker 4: pro day. I wonder if they're thinking the Raiders our

386
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 4: plan is to have a sit here for Mendoza, and

387
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 4: this is a great option to have a full planned

388
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: sit here like Mahomes.

389
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 2: I don't have a problem with it, right you like that.

390
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 2: I don't want him to get beat up. You're gonna

391
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 2: get beat up even when you have a good team.

392
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't want you to get beat up when you

393
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 2: don't have a good team or a good offensive line.

394
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: That's the only thing that I worry about with Mendoza.

395
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 2: If he has a good offensive line, I think he's

396
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: got the arm strength, the quality, the intangibles. I think

397
00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: he can be a really good quarterback here. Is Fernando

398
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 2: Mendoza on being the number one pick. That's sole process

399
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 2: is essentially for you a this need to be the

400
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 2: top pick.

401
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 4: Yes, what's some mentory physical approach to the components.

402
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 12: Yeah, I wouldn't really say that in the mentality of

403
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 12: trying to be the topic. I'm just trying to be

404
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 12: the best me possible. And in that aspect, whatever he

405
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 12: picks me, you only need one team to believe in you,

406
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 12: whether you the first pick, whether the last pick, whatever,

407
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 12: and that I'm just trying to be the best quarterback

408
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,439
Speaker 12: I can be in September rather than right now here

409
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 12: in April.

410
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: So I'm putting all my effort.

411
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,479
Speaker 12: Towards you know, it's just trying to be the best thing,

412
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 12: best quarterback possible for this season.

413
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 2: He just seems like he was spit out of a

414
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 2: computer or AI or something where you go, you here,

415
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 2: you go. He gives you the answers that you want

416
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: to hear. And also his approach to a pro day

417
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: wasn't a let me show you throws that I probably

418
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 2: will never have in my career. Hey, let me roll left,

419
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: throw right for sixty yards. And he even said how

420
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: often do you throw the ball forty yards. All you're

421
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: doing is trying to replicate what throws you're going to

422
00:22:56,320 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 2: have in a game. And if you watch an NFL

423
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 2: game now, for the most part, how often do you

424
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 2: see a pass that's forty yards down the field. Not

425
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 2: very often. And I think that's what Mendoza's approach is. Hey,

426
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: if it's there, I'm going to take it. And now

427
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: you have Tom Brady to reinforce that, because Brady, if

428
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 2: it was there, you take it. I don't need to

429
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 2: do anything crazy. I don't need to try to force anything.

430
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 2: If it's there, I'll take it. I'll take advantage of

431
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 2: that until you try to stop me with this. So

432
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: Mendoza is going to have Kirk Cousins in Tom Brady.

433
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: I like that insulation there. Now you just got to

434
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 2: make sure that offensive line is going to stand up,

435
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: and if it does, this can be a success story.

436
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 2: I'm fine with Kirk Cousins coming in. Wait, how often

437
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: do we talk about, man, it really valuable to have

438
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 2: a backup quarterback who can play. Used to be a

439
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: backup quarterback had a visor on and he had a clipboard.

440
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: He wasn't in a headset. Now you really have to

441
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: make sure that you're ready when somebody gets hurt. Yes, Morvin.

442
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 5: What if the Raiders start out owing three with Kirk

443
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 5: Cousins as their starter, isn't it gonna be pressure to

444
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 5: throw Mendoza in there? Yes, so throw him in there anyway.

445
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:14,639
Speaker 7: No.

446
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 2: No, I want him ready when he's ready. I don't

447
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 2: want him to be ready because he's the number one

448
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: pick in the draft. I think teams have made that

449
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 2: mistake before. Is he ready? You'll know he's ready. He'll

450
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: know he's ready. I don't want to go, hey, fans

451
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: are coming out to see you. That shouldn't be the approach.

452
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: And Tom Brady knows that he knows that better than anybody.

453
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,040
Speaker 2: His words to me. If I was drafted in the

454
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 2: first round, I wouldn't have lasted in the NFL because

455
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 2: he wasn't ready. Mendoza we assume is ready, but he's

456
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: the he's the best quarterback in the draft. Well, that

457
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 2: doesn't mean that he is ready to start take over

458
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 2: the NFL. There should be an easing in process. That's

459
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 2: the approach I would have. And if Kirk Cousins plays well,

460
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: I'd say awesome, but I wouldn't go, oh, we can't

461
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 2: put Mendoza in there. You'll put him in when he's ready, Yes, Paul.

462
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,719
Speaker 4: I also wonder how many options Kirk Cousins had at

463
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 4: this point. He's a good starter who's a little old,

464
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 4: but not a thousand years old. But he's not You're

465
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 4: not going to hand over your franchise to him at

466
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 4: this juncture. But he's not bad enough or average enough

467
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 4: to be just a gap guy.

468
00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 2: Well, I thought he was going to go back to Minnesota.

469
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 2: I thought that that, you know, because the JJ McCarthy situation. Yeah, yeah,

470
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 2: you know, he's saw trying to sit with it a

471
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 2: little bit more. But yeah, Mendoza is sort of a

472
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 2: more athletic Kirk Cousins.

473
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

474
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 8: Yeah, So you're sort of bringing a guy in to

475
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 8: show him the ropes who plays almost exactly the same

476
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 8: way you do.

477
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: So like efficiency, and you know, but I see Mendoza

478
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: as Joe Flacco, maybe a more athletic Joe Flacco size

479
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 2: arm And I've said before, if Mendoza has a Joe

480
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 2: Flacco career, I'd sign up for that. If I'm a

481
00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 2: Raider fan. Nothing to be ashamed of with what Joe

482
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: Flacco did. I just think we're looking at Mendoza maybe

483
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 2: unfairly in saying, Oh, there's your guy. He's a generational talent.

484
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,879
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's that, but I did. I

485
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: love what I hear from him, and I loved his

486
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: approach to a pro day. He acted like a pro

487
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 2: at a pro day, not a college kid who's trying

488
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: to impress you with these throws that he probably won't

489
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 2: even have in his career. I don't want Zach Wilson.

490
00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 2: Remember Zach Wilson rolled left? He throw back right sixty yards.

491
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, I want to know what you do.

492
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,880
Speaker 2: Five yards there, seven yards there, ten yards there. That's

493
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 2: what I want to know, because those are NFL throws.

494
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 2: You can stand. What was it? Last year? I had

495
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: to prove to John Calipari I could throw the ball

496
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 2: fifty yards. I don't know where it's going, but that's

497
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,800
Speaker 2: not the end. It's not the NFL. Man, I can

498
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,840
Speaker 2: throw it sixty yards. Jeff George had the best arm,

499
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 2: maybe one of the best arms I ever saw, and

500
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 2: they'd go, man, he can throw it sixty yards. Kyle

501
00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:28,640
Speaker 2: Buller he was on his knees at the fifty yard

502
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 2: line and he could throw the ball fifty yards from

503
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 2: his knees, and I go, that doesn't happen in the NFL.

504
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 2: Like he's down, the play is over. But they're like, man,

505
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 2: did you see him throw from his knees? Joe Montana

506
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: did not have a great arm, Steve Young did not

507
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 2: have a great arm. They had great aim, they had

508
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 2: great touch. That's what the NFL is. Man, he can

509
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 2: throw the ball right through a building. Why would you

510
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 2: do that?

511
00:27:58,400 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 6: Yeah?

512
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 4: I have very goodness for Kirk Cousins.

513
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 8: There are at least eight Coals in the greater Los

514
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 8: Angeles Las Vegas area, which we know he's very He's

515
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,840
Speaker 8: a huge coals shopper. Oh that's right, Yeah, yeah, that's

516
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 8: good news for him.

517
00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 5: All the Eddie Bauer you can.

518
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: Have, Yeah, yeah, Coles cash coming in hands. He's gonna

519
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 2: have the plaid dress shirts that he would wear in

520
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 2: hot weather.

521
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:22,520

527
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,800

600
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,600
Speaker 2: reaction To Kirk cousins landing with The. Raiders, Yeah, dan

601
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 2: great to be with. You The raiders wanted a. Veteran

602
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 2: they tried to Get Joe. FLACCO i was told they

603
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 2: actually got pretty close to Signing flacco at one, point

604
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:26,680
Speaker 2: but they didn't want to spend, huge you, know starter related.

605
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 2: Money if he was going to go to The West,

606
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 2: coast he wanted the starter, money so he just stayed

607
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 2: In cincinnati.

608
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 7: Instead at that point they pivoted To Kirk. Cousins really

609
00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 7: that was the best. Option there weren't a lot of

610
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 7: other veterans out there just talking with The, raiders like they, said,

611
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 7: hey we know we have to get a.

612
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 2: Veteran he's the best.

613
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,320
Speaker 7: OPTION i kind of almost wondered If cousins at some

614
00:32:43,400 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 7: point was going to either go to The rams so

615
00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 7: you can sit for a year and almost help your

616
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 7: value for twenty twenty seven free, agency or even sit

617
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 7: out a little bit and, wait you, know for the.

618
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 7: Situation BUT i think with the chance to, play it's

619
00:32:54,760 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 7: pretty clear The raiders won somebody who can at least

620
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,160
Speaker 7: spot start some games Until mendoz is completely. Ready who

621
00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 7: do you think starts opening game for The raiders at? Quarterback,

622
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 7: WELL i, MEAN i Think cousins has a good chance.

623
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 7: Here he's got some history With Clint. Kubiak he knows

624
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 7: that style of offense really. Well this Gives mendoza. Time

625
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 7: The raiders seem to be leaning on that old school,

626
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 7: mentality at least a little bit of, like, hey why

627
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 7: do we have to rush him out their week? One you,

628
00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,640
Speaker 7: know even if he is ready or has a good, camp,

629
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 7: like let's give him little time to. Develop you can

630
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 7: always put him in week, five week, ten. Like there

631
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 7: are a lot of options and flexibility that he doesn't

632
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 7: have to be the. Guy you see so many stories

633
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:33,880
Speaker 7: of players starting week one and they just weren't, ready you,

634
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 7: know Like Zach wilson comes to. Mind i'm not Comparing

635
00:33:36,360 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 7: mendoza To Zach, wilson but sometimes you just want to make.

636
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,720
Speaker 7: Sure now If mendoza's just lights out and undeniable In

637
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 7: OTA's and mini camp and training, camp and at that

638
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 7: point you, say let's go with, him and you have

639
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 7: the flexibility to do. That AND i don't think they're

640
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 7: Paying cousins crazy money here where they can't get out

641
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 7: of that, deal and it'd be at some.

642
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 2: COST i guess the timing of. This mendoza has his

643
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 2: pro day and then all of a sudden you announce

644
00:33:58,040 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 2: your bringing In Kirk. Cousins do you think the rate

645
00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 2: Gave mendoza heads? Up, oh it's a good.

646
00:34:03,840 --> 00:34:07,600
Speaker 7: QUESTION i Think mendoza probably knew that they were looking,

647
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,759
Speaker 7: around because The raiders weren't keeping that a secret at

648
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,800
Speaker 7: least in league circles and free agency. Circles you, know

649
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 7: like they've been talking To Joe flacco for a good,

650
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,160
Speaker 7: week week and a, half you. Know BUT i think

651
00:34:18,239 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 7: he wanted something a little more than what he got

652
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 7: With cleveland last, year which is probably a fifteen million

653
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 7: or so twenty million a year to, start even if

654
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 7: it's only going to be for a certain amount of.

655
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 7: Games you, know The raiders weren't quite willing to go that,

656
00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:33,880
Speaker 7: far So cousins was the next best. Option SO i

657
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 7: don't know if they directly told, them but it's pretty

658
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 7: clear at least right, now what their plan is to

659
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,880
Speaker 7: at least have that option to start a veteran.

660
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 2: If you want to go that. Route but they're not

661
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:47,680
Speaker 2: shopping the. Pick they're they're Taking. Mendoza, YEAH i would

662
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 2: be absolutely shocked at this. POINT i have not heard

663
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: anything hard and fast that they're going to shop the.

664
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 2: Pick most other teams in the top ten of the

665
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 2: draft are Expecting mendozo to be off the board at

666
00:34:57,239 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 2: one and the draft starts at. Two To Jeremy, fowler

667
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 2: you can go TO espn dot com deep, dive THE

668
00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 2: espn team with a deep dive on The, eagles and

669
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:09,800
Speaker 2: it feels like the conversation around The eagles in the

670
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 2: off season is kind of a slow burn, there like

671
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: the blame game, here and then all of a, sudden you,

672
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:21,360
Speaker 2: know this report spotlights that the blame. Is it's squarely

673
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,400
Speaker 2: On Jalen. HURTS i was curious the timing of this

674
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 2: at the beginning Of april that this comes. Out why

675
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,399
Speaker 2: do you think that? Happened or why do you think

676
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:33,759
Speaker 2: you got access to this In.

677
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,479
Speaker 7: April you, know we've actually been working on the story

678
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:38,960
Speaker 7: for a. While it just happened to run now because

679
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:41,360
Speaker 7: it was ready. Now there wasn't like a hard and

680
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 7: fast plan to, say, hey let's hit Them april, first

681
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 7: the day after the owner's. Meetings the owner's meetings had

682
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 7: nothing to do with the. Story you're, Right the timing

683
00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,040
Speaker 7: was a big topic yesterday and a discourse about the

684
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,320
Speaker 7: story why. Now so really it's just a matter of

685
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 7: reporting and vetting something out that you've been working on

686
00:36:00,080 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 7: when it's, ready it's.

687
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: Ready that was kind of the.

688
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 7: Situation but we started in season because The eagles offense

689
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:10,520
Speaker 7: was clearly. OFF Aj, brown you, know weekly was upset

690
00:36:10,560 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 7: about something on the. Sideline everybody could see. It you,

691
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,280
Speaker 7: know the passing game was struggling for a second consecutive,

692
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:16,959
Speaker 7: year even though they won The Super bowl in twenty

693
00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:19,160
Speaker 7: four it was one of the worst passing games in THE.

694
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:22,080
Speaker 7: Nfl and so we just sought out to figure out

695
00:36:22,200 --> 00:36:24,000
Speaker 7: what Ales eagles, Offense what really is the?

696
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 2: Issue what's the.

697
00:36:25,200 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 7: Story With Jalen hurts AND Aj brown, Specifically and as

698
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,880
Speaker 7: we dug in with the story and asked more, Sources

699
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 7: jalen's name came up a lot as certainly not the only.

700
00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,360
Speaker 7: Culprit there's plenty of blame to go around here with

701
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:42,319
Speaker 7: The eagles offense last, year from coaching to offensive. Line

702
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:44,600
Speaker 7: play just wasn't as. Good their running holes weren't there

703
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 7: For Saquon, barkley the receivers didn't look as fast like

704
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 7: they just didn't look as explosive of an. Offense so

705
00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 7: not all that is On Jalen, hurts but some of

706
00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,680
Speaker 7: the things highlighted in the piece were accentuated when we

707
00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 7: brought it up to people and sources both with The eagles.

708
00:36:59,040 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 5: And in and around the.

709
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,879
Speaker 2: Program i'm trying to be fair To Jalen. Hurts i've

710
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 2: said it for the last couple of. YEARS i don't

711
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:06,960
Speaker 2: think he's a great regular season. Quarterback he's not going

712
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: to put up gaudy. Numbers they're not a pass first.

713
00:37:09,280 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 2: Team but in big games he's played. Big, Yes he's

714
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 2: had a new offensive coordinator every year of his college

715
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: and pro, CAREER i. Believe and now you bring in

716
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:23,440
Speaker 2: a thirty three year old former quarterback In Sean, MANNON i,

717
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 2: mean what are we supposed to expect out of? Him

718
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,400
Speaker 2: where you keep bringing in a different offensive philosophy.

719
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:33,040
Speaker 7: Here, yeah and to his, credit he has had to

720
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,240
Speaker 7: adapt to a lot of, change and now the system

721
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 7: was relatively the same throughout it They Nick sirianni has

722
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 7: tried to keep. Continuity you, know you Have Shane steichen

723
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:45,040
Speaker 7: who was there, originally who probably did the best job

724
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 7: Of Jalen hurts out of all the, coaches to be,

725
00:37:46,719 --> 00:37:49,440
Speaker 7: honest if we're looking, back but you, know he was

726
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,360
Speaker 7: part Of Nick sirianni's coaching, system coaching.

727
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:52,920
Speaker 2: Tree they were.

728
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 7: Together then you bring In Brian, johnson who's part of the.

729
00:37:55,800 --> 00:37:58,320
Speaker 7: Staff you, Know Kellen moore was really the only departure

730
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 7: when they brought him in two years, ago but he

731
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 7: kind of blended some of his ideas with What Nick

732
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,040
Speaker 7: sirianni was. Doing So herts has had some level of,

733
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 7: continuity but to be, sure he's had to overcome a.

734
00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 7: Lot that's a lot of, change a lot of different

735
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 7: voices in your, ear and to his, credit he's had

736
00:38:12,239 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 7: some great moments throughout.

737
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 3: That you.

738
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 7: Know so it's a delicate balance for a story like

739
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,800
Speaker 7: this because you have original reporting that you feel, like,

740
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,439
Speaker 7: okay well this is the, story this is what's going

741
00:38:24,520 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 7: on with The eagles and the.

742
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 2: Offense but he's had immense.

743
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 7: Success he's got a really unique determination and steely resolve

744
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 7: that has helped him overcome a, lot and you, know

745
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,920
Speaker 7: we highlighted that throughout the. Story you, know we try

746
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 7: to provide as much context as we could To Jalen

747
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:44,400
Speaker 7: hurts his you, know side of, things or his perspective

748
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 7: with some of the topics that came. Up and, so,

749
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,239
Speaker 7: yeah it's just a situation where you, know certainly he's

750
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 7: a proven good player that you can win, with but

751
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 7: there have been you, know it's The eagles are now

752
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 7: in a situation where they know something had to. Change

753
00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,400
Speaker 7: they had to reset their, offense and it's now a

754
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:05,080
Speaker 7: moving train That Jalen, hurts who's been resistant to some

755
00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,839
Speaker 7: of those changes in the, past now has to get.

756
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 2: On can you make the comparison With Russell wilson And

757
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,800
Speaker 2: seattle And Jalen hurts In, Philadelphia.

758
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 7: Well that's a layered. Discussion you, know they are different,

759
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 7: people different, players but that comparison is not lost on some,

760
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 7: people including some in The eagles building that that do

761
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 7: see some. Similarities, really if if you go just to straight,

762
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:38,560
Speaker 7: football there are some similarities where you, know they're they

763
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 7: throw a great deep, ball they're, athletic you know they're

764
00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 7: they're known as you, know good leaders as far as

765
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 7: trying to set a great, example uh really get getting after,

766
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 7: it setting a good work, ethic you, know like being

767
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 7: championship oriented like all those.

768
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:56,560
Speaker 2: Things but you know they.

769
00:39:56,800 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 7: They have some struggles with certain, coverages not really true pocket.

770
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:04,200
Speaker 7: Passers you, Know Russell wilson struggled with. That you know

771
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:06,840
Speaker 7: where he you had to win with a good running

772
00:40:06,880 --> 00:40:08,480
Speaker 7: game and a good, system around. Them you, know some

773
00:40:08,640 --> 00:40:12,319
Speaker 7: quarterbacks you can win really because of and that's a short,

774
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:13,759
Speaker 7: list and then some of you need to win with

775
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 7: by supporting. Them and last year when The eagles didn't

776
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:18,839

778
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 7: know some quarterbacks can handle. That but it's a very short,

779
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,520
Speaker 7: list as you, know you, know The Josh allens of the, World,

780

781
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 7: stylistically there are a lot of, similarities you, know probably different.

782

00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,480
Speaker 7: a little bit of that as. Well but he's more

787
00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:52,359
Speaker 7: of an, introvert you, know he's known as. That even

788
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,360
Speaker 7: talking to people with the story when you ask about you,

789
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,839
Speaker 7: know relating to teammates or poor body, language any of those,

790
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:00,719
Speaker 7: things they'll fight back and, say, well that's just who he.

791
00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 7: Is if he wins A Super bowl or he gets

792
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,560
Speaker 7: a fifty five million dollar year, contract life changing.

793
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,360
Speaker 2: Events he's going to have the same. Face he's not

00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: going to.

795
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:10,879
Speaker 7: Smile he just he is that, way you, know he's

796
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 7: on to the next, thing which is admirable in a

797
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 7: lot of.

798
00:41:14,360 --> 00:41:14,640
Speaker 2: Ways you.

799
00:41:14,680 --> 00:41:16,640
Speaker 7: Know it shows he's unflappable but also can be tough

800
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 7: in a locker room a little, bit you, know and

801
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 7: he's had to adjust to try to relate to, teammates

802
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,360
Speaker 7: which he did later in the year.

803
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,640
Speaker 2: And did a better job at that than he did

804
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:24,279
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the.

805
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:25,040
Speaker 1: Year there are some.

806
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:28,200
Speaker 7: Similarities i've heard people bring that. Up we didn't make

807
00:41:28,239 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 7: the comparison in the, story BUT i was wasn't necessarily

808
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 7: surprised That i've seen that comparison a lot in the

809
00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 7: discourse over the last twenty four.

810
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 2: Hours help me understand The Cleveland browns situation best you

811
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 2: can that the owner now it kind of feels, like,

812
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:46,080
Speaker 2: hey you, know we found this quarterback here there were

813
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,479
Speaker 2: spending forty million dollars on and why don't we play.

814
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:54,319
Speaker 2: Him what Is Deshaun watson's chances of starting this year

815
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 2: for The Cleveland? Browns, DAN i think his chances are.

816
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,360
Speaker 7: Decent he has to play over the next three to

817
00:42:00,400 --> 00:42:03,399
Speaker 7: four months on the practice, field, well he has to show.

818
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:06,800
Speaker 7: SOMETHING i Expect Shador sanders to be probably first in.

819
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:18,360
Speaker 2: Line you froze up.

820
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,640
Speaker 7: There jeremy is an off season workouts because he's the

821
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:24,760
Speaker 7: last guy to hit himself well enough to Earn, YES.

822
00:42:24,760 --> 00:42:26,960
Speaker 2: I got you. Back, okay, okay sorry about.

823
00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 7: That SO i Think Shador sanders will get the first

824
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:33,000
Speaker 7: crack at things when they start reps in. OTAs But

825
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 7: Deshaun watson Is it's. Interesting he's he's two. Things he's

826
00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 7: a big swing and a, miss Which jimmy has them

827
00:42:38,960 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 7: said on the. Record he's also now an, option whether

828
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 7: you like it or, not because they owe him the.

829
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:45,360
Speaker 7: Money he's only got the one year left on the

830
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:49,320
Speaker 7: forty six million dollars despite Two achilles, tears all the,

831
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:52,680
Speaker 7: problems all the bad. Play he was at one point

832
00:42:52,719 --> 00:42:54,680
Speaker 7: in his life a top five to seven quarterback in THE.

833
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,399
Speaker 7: Nfl if they can get seventy percent of, that he's

834
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 7: probably their best.

835
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,400
Speaker 2: Option and they know. That so you, Know jimmy has

836
00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 2: them saying two different things at two different. Years really called.

837
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 7: Him a big swing and a, miss and then now

838
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 7: he's calling him an. OPTION i think he can be.

839
00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:10,439
Speaker 7: Both he was a big swing and a. Miss there's

840
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:12,440
Speaker 7: no doubt about. That you, know four years it has

841
00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 7: not worked, out but you do have this one sliver of.

842
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 7: CHANCE i think he's their best option a quarterback if

843
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 7: he can show that he's you, know that he can

844
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:22,760
Speaker 7: be mobile enough and move around on This Achilles.

845
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:25,080
Speaker 2: And this feels like if the owner Wants deshaun wants

846
00:43:25,160 --> 00:43:28,960
Speaker 2: him to, start it feels like that's going to.

847
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 7: Happen, well maybe it can depend on the inter office

848
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,800
Speaker 7: dynamic with those. Things and you know that's been debated In,

849
00:43:36,880 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 7: cleveland whether the owner wants certain things or.

850
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 2: Not but when he got a new coach coming in

851
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,640
Speaker 2: though you know In, monkin, YEAH i think they.

852
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 7: Trust they Know Todd munkin's football. Acumen he was In

853
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,360
Speaker 7: cleveland once upon a. Time he's known as a good offensive.

854
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:52,680
Speaker 7: Coach he got the best out Of lamar for a

855
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 7: couple of. YEARS i think they will defer to, him

856
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,600
Speaker 7: AND i think he likes some things that he saw

857
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,720
Speaker 7: From shador and he hit will say, This Todd munkins

858
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 7: offense is more, spread offense. Oriented it can, adapt BUT

859
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 7: i think it Suits Deshaun watson's style more Than Kevin stefanski's.

860
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 7: Offense did that Gives watson a fighting?

861
00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 10: Chance?
