18
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 1: you coming up in a few minutes. Jason lockin Forest

19
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: stopping by. Maybe it was our foot, maybe we cursed him.

20
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's our fault that the Lions traded away

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: David Montgomery.

22
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 4: That's my guy yesterday talking about him because he was

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 4: refuting reports.

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: Four hours later. But I am not leaving. Oh yeah,

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 1: I'm gone. Oh okay, that would have made a Wolf

26
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: of Wall Street different. I'm not leaving. Oh no, you're leaving.

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: Oh I'm leaving.

28
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 4: You're being escorted out of the building right now. I

29
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 4: didn't know that. Okay, key card doesn't work anymore, but

30
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 4: I wanted to stay.

31
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,119
Speaker 1: So it's it's been a lot more of your fault

32
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: than ours, though, how is my fault? You know how

33
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: that's not my fore you can't play that was that

34
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: was a year and a half ago. One time. That

35
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: was a year room the franchise. Oh, I do want

36
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 1: to absolutely murder hang on. I think we can trace

37
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: back the beginning of Jamiir Gibbs a cent into becoming

38
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: the number one running back to that right after that game,

39
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Like I think the numbers and the division of labor

40
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 1: between between Jamiir Gibbs and Dave Montgomery before our interview

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: and then after that's where it kind of just changed dramatically.

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: As soon as like, I don't think he really disclosed

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 4: that he didn't need at the boy.

44
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they.

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: Said, well he can't be the guy that we lean

46
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 4: on down the stretch.

47
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 1: Here we go. Yeah, all you now no more sonic

48
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 1: and knuckles. Now it's just sonic.

49
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 4: This is just I saw Jamiir Gibbs with the sad

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 4: meme that he put up on social media, a lot

51
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: of bad stuff. David Montgomery wrote the longest hey, thank

52
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 4: you for everything.

53
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:20,519
Speaker 2: Note.

54
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: I think we've ever seen it from an athlete.

55
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: Yeah.

56
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 4: Look, I highly like Dedroit. I like vacationing and living there.

57
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you. I think this falls under

58
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,119
Speaker 1: the category of this is a good trade for both

59
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: teams because look, one, number one, Jamiir Gibbs become one

60
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 1: of the top two running backs in all of he

61
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: and John Robinson. Uh, he's getting all the carries. Yes,

62
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: more division of labor for him. Not that you don't

63
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: need another running back, because Dave Montgomery still has proven

64
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: to be pretty good, pretty solid, big goal line guy,

65
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: big red zone guy, but a little bit more of

66
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 1: a luxury where if you are the Lions, you want

67
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: to keep the window open, you gotta do a Kansas

68
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 1: City Chiefs twenty twenty one off season where it's like, boy,

69
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: we just got beat to death in the playoffs because

70
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: we have no offensive line. We gotta go bring in

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 1: like four new guys, so doing what they're doing right now, Hey,

72
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna bring an offensive line. They got to be

73
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: heavy on it this year to keep that window open

74
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: because that was their their big free fall at the

75
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,679
Speaker 1: end of last year. I think they finished in the

76
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: bottom third of the league offensive line of protection in

77
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: a bunch of different categories. This is one of those

78
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: trades that I like it for both teams. The Texans

79
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: needed a weapon. He needed somebody bigger to that you

80
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: could at. Other teams had to plan around at running

81
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: back and they got it, and the Lions have to

82
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,959
Speaker 1: just add offense, just keep adding offensive line, adding offensive line.

83
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I like it for both sides.

84
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 4: Well, it's a good start. Abandoned Lions watched in Division

85
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 4: that that was one of the big points of emphasis

86
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: for the Bears. Look what ended up transpiring there. So

87
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 4: the Lions will go and draft another running back or

88
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 4: find someone off the cheap. Because David Montgomery still makes

89
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 4: pretty good money, you're able to get a couple of

90
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: you trade off a couple of draft picks. So that's

91
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 4: where the line building would need to come. Because the

92
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: guy you did bring in was a backup. Has started

93
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 4: in the past, has moved around the line.

94
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: Oh that's why I said you need numbers.

95
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: You need to bring it.

96
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: You need numbers. Hey, here's one guy. No, you got

97
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: to bring in something. No, it's a nice start.

98
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 4: They also need to figure out how to keep that

99
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 4: defensive side of the ball healthy.

100
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but lions are built on at least we know

101
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: what the building blocks here.

102
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 4: I don't know how to exercise the demons. They weren't

103
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 4: affected as much necessarily as some other locker rooms, but

104
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 4: certainly one of those things in the training room going

105
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 4: we get into what are we doing over here? One

106
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 4: of our best practices? How do we do this better?

107
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: You give me Aiden Hutchinson, I'll give you back, Aaron Glenn.

108
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: I mean, right there, let's do it. Let's do it

109
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: right now. I'm gonna make it happen.

110
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 4: He's a better and a better dancer.

111
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,360
Speaker 1: Let's make it happen.

112
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: He is.

113
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: He is a better dancer.

114
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 4: He is a better dancer, There's no question about it.

115
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 4: But you know me, I still have an affinity for

116
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 4: David Montgomery going back to his days in Chicago. Uh,

117
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 4: obviously that's a couple of years removed, and Sonic and

118
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 4: Knuckles had their run. But you s I had some

119
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 4: cap space to go find yourself another running back. You

120
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 4: give yourself an opportunity. Now you don't have as many

121
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: draft picks. Again, you give two of those away, but

122
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 4: you get active in free agency. They still have to

123
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: move a lot of money around to really clear out

124
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 4: to give themselves the best opportunity in the free agent market.

125
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 4: But for the Lions, yeah, this becomes one of the

126
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: hard decisions you have to make to that next iteration

127
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 4: of your squad, knowing that the Bears and backers and

128
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: probably the Vikings if they can get adequate quarterback play,

129
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 4: will be there to fight for the division ground.

130
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: It's alive. More in this story coming up in about

131
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes again with Jason locking for Hey, the Lions,

132
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: they're keeping that window open. Man keeping the window. But

133
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: speaking of comebacks, we had two returns tonight, well, okay,

134
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: one return to the court, one return to the sideline

135
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: that didn't.

136
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: Go very well. Yeah.

137
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: Uh, Trey Young in advance of his return to the lineup, right,

138
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: he's gonna come back now for the first time since

139
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: he's traded, gonna go come to the Wizard's lineup. Got

140
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: tossed from tonight's game, because he stepped on the court

141
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: during a dead ball situation where there was a bit

142
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 1: of a bruhaha going on, and he got a David

143
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 1: Stern you step on the court, I'll throw you out ejections.

144
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: So ahead of his return, Trey Young has been thrown out,

145
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 1: which kind of tells me that maybe he doesn't want

146
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: to play at all. And like you, if you're talking

147
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: about bringing me back, just understand this is kind of

148
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: how it's gonna go. You know what. I didn't feel

149
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,479
Speaker 1: like I'm gonna step on the court and they're gonna throw

150
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 1: me out. Yeah, I'm gone. I'm gone.

151
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 4: Do you want to submit an appeal? Yeah, making a

152
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 4: ten game suspension. I really said some terrible things, and

153
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 4: I create I was an absolute nuisance in that five feet.

154
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 4: I stepped out on the court.

155
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: Just to say, all right and ready to come back.

156
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't want to.

157
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: It was like fans on the way back into.

158
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 1: The locker room.

159
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,679
Speaker 4: Maybe that's I don't need to watch this anymore.

160
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: Maybe that's aside. Listen, you put me back on the bench.

161
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,840
Speaker 1: I got thrown out. What do you think is gonna

162
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 1: happen if you actually put me on the court. Oh,

163
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: it's a good point. All right, Well, we'll sit you

164
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: down for now.

165
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 4: The Bulls have been terrible, right, one in nine in

166
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,760
Speaker 4: their last ten. They were winless in the month of February.

167
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 4: They are still eight and a half games ahead of

168
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: the Wizards. So it's not like, hey, we could really

169
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 4: put forth the competitive that that would take an awful

170
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 4: lot to climb to that, you know, twelfth spot in

171
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: the Eastern Conference. So it becomes a why am I bothering?

172
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:17,280
Speaker 2: Now?

173
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: Me rolling out? Meanwhile, here is the story of the night,

174
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: and I feel like the universe is really helping out

175
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Yannis where they really don't have to anymore. Okay they did, Jannis, Hey,

176
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: you could have gotten out in Milwaukee couple of times.

177
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: All you had to do was say you wanted out.

178
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 1: Could have gotten out? No, no, no, now you want

179
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,840
Speaker 1: to stay Tonight. Yannis makes his return for the first

180
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: time since he got hurt when he strained his CAF

181
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: January twenty third, which made trading him a little bit

182
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: more difficult.

183
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 4: He was right about the six week recovery.

184
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: He was he was. He said that three to six weeks,

185
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,960
Speaker 1: six weeks, I'm right back, and so in that time

186
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,679
Speaker 1: he said I'm not leaving. True stars attract, they don't

187
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: defect to go someplace else. I'm gonna stay here. Made

188
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of money on Kalchi comes back tonight twenty

189
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 1: five minutes, nineteen and eleven, A couple assists and you know,

190
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: doesn't shoot great, but still here's Jannis back on the

191
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 1: court tonight. Pretty decent night. But if this isn't the universe,

192
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: the basketball universe telling Yannis, Yannis, you have to go,

193
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: you must leave. Like remember that commercial that Hank Aaron

194
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: did with Barry Bonds when Bonds was gonna break Hank

195
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: Aaron's home run record and Bonds has taken batting practice

196
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: and he hears his voice over the loud speaker, Bonds,

197
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: give it up. You'll never break the record. Just give

198
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: it up, Bonds, and Barry's looking around and it's Hank

199
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: Aaron on the mic. You know, don't break my record, Bonds,

200
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: give it up. You're too old, You're too old. Like

201
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 1: I feel like this is the universe saying Yannis, Yannis,

202
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: you have to go. You're not going to win here.

203
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: Not only Yannis comes back at home against the Celtics

204
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,200
Speaker 1: team without Jason Tatum, who is on his way back

205
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: and could be back sooner rather than later. No, Jalen Brown,

206
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 1: who was ill tonight. Yeah, and still it was a

207
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 1: thirty point burial that the Celtics put on the Bucks

208
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: one oh eight to eighty one. Every member the Celtics

209
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:15,079
Speaker 1: starting five was in double figures. Peyton Pritchard had twenty

210
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: five off the you know, Caitlyn Clark. Peyton Pritchard had

211
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 1: twenty five off the bench. This is Yannis coming back

212
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 1: to a Bucks team that treaded water. I guess you

213
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: could say the best while he was out. They were

214
00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: eight and seven, not bad. They beat some pretty good team.

215
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: They beat Oklahoma City while he was out. They beat

216
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: Miami while he was out, They beat the Cavaliers like,

217
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: they won some decent games. And obviously they lost to

218
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: the Bulls. They got crushed by the Knicks. But still,

219
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: this is a team that's eight games under five hundred.

220
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,960
Speaker 1: When Jannis was out, they were one game over. Okay,

221
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 1: So here comes Jiannis who is back? Who is you know,

222
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: still at the peak of Jannis's powers? All right, maybe

223
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 1: we get a little bit of a run going on here.

224
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,719
Speaker 1: Giannis is back. We know what we're doing for the

225
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: rest of the season and he comes back and they

226
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: just get absolutely buried by thirty points at the hands

227
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 1: of the Celtics. This is these are the basketball gods

228
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 1: saying it's time, du Doc, it's time for you to

229
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 1: go too. But it's also time for Yannis to go.

230
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 5: All of you need to leave.

231
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 1: Just hear that voice in your head, Just hear that

232
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: voice in me.

233
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 4: No, it'll stay there. I mean, he was able to

234
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 4: get his brother two minutes of playing time tonight in

235
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: the burial, so that's good. But you look at this

236
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 4: roster and you look around and going, are we gonna

237
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 4: win anything?

238
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 6: All right?

239
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,360
Speaker 4: Kyle Kuzma didn't play tonight, fine, But beyond you look

240
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 4: at that starting lineup, there's there's no excitement the bench.

241
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 4: Cam Thomas the guy they pick up. Maybe maybe they can,

242
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 4: you know, find lightning in the in the bottle. Once

243
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 4: upon a time he was a big deal. But all

244
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,080
Speaker 4: that to say, you're scraping the bottom and you're looking around,

245
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: going where's the fix? No matter how much you try

246
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 4: to shed in terms of what's on the cap for

247
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 4: next year, how many players are you enticing?

248
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:56,679
Speaker 2: Right?

249
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 4: He wants to go and be the recruiter you did that.

250
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 4: You brought in Lillard, it didn't work, He went home,

251
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 4: got hurt, went home, And now you're trying to cling

252
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: to the last couple years of your run. They're eight

253
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: games under five hundred, they fall to fourteen and fifteen

254
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 4: at home on the year, and as you say, they

255
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 4: got blown out with no Jalen Brown. Now, Peyton Pritchard

256
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 4: has been alternately Caitlin Clark in the best of ways.

257
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: Since that comparison, He's got like five twenty five point

258
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 4: games at his last eight games played. He actually got

259
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 4: shut out last time out. I don't know how that

260
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: happens in twenty seven minutes. He shoots well enough for that.

261
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 4: But for the honest side of it, it's the I

262
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 4: applaud you for coming back because you're playing for nothing

263
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 4: at this point for the rest of the season, right,

264
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 4: You're just scraping the bottom. But you look around and

265
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 4: realize how hard it's going to be. But you don't

266
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 4: want to be the bad guy. It's that very difficult

267
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 4: space in the universe of you know what has to

268
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,319
Speaker 4: be done right, It's that long standing job change, break up,

269
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: whatever it is. But you just want to keep kicking

270
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 4: that can down the road and Giannis is looking around

271
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 4: and maybe he got a little love from the hometown fans,

272
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 4: but it's it's that time.

273
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: He needs to be like in uh in Field of Dreams,

274
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: where like he's working out by himself in the gym.

275
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 1: And you hear, if you ask for a trade, they

276
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: will do it.

277
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 3: Who said that?

278
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: Who's there?

279
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 3: Who's there?

280
00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: Who's there?

281
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 5: If you ask for a trade, they will trade you.

282
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 5: But you have to ask.

283
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 3: Ease his pain? Who's pain?

284
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 5: Doc rivers? He can't win with you, he can't win

285
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 5: without you. Please take him with you. Ease his pain?

286
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: Who's there? Who's there?

287
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: Who's there?

288
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: Who's there? I mean really that that's a This is

289
00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 1: the basketball world to say, dude, you have to go. Man,

290
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: you can't stay anymore.

291
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 4: Problem is he's now dragged this out enough to where

292
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 4: he's living long enough to become the villain.

293
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I say, he's gotta say I want out. He's

294
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: gotta say it. I'm when I said when I said

295
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: winner stayed to attract, I meant like in a situation

296
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: where a team could actually win if I attracted somebody.

297
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: But instead, what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna go someplace

298
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: else and attract people there. That's really what I meant

299
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: is I'll go to a new place and attract people

300
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:15,080
Speaker 1: to come in.

301
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:20,400
Speaker 5: If you leave, you will attract people there. If you leave,

302
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: we could get Karl, Anthony Towns and maybe mckel bridges

303
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 5: in return.

304
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 4: How quickly are his brothers shuddered from the roster?

305

Speaker 1: put the NFL combine, put a big bow on it.

356
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: Take a look at what's next. We heard a lot

357
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: of quarterback rumors over the weekend. We got a big

358
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: potential injury that could effect the top five in the draft.

359
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,240
Speaker 1: Joining us now the hot line Nobody bet or Washington

360
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 1: Post wanna bet longtime NFL insider Jason Lockin for what's happening?

361
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: Man how are you.

362
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 2: What's going on, gentlemen?

363
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 4: Greetings?

364
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: All right?

365
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: Well, well, first of all, I know you'd have to

366
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 1: worry too much about writing anything about Syracuse lacrosse after

367
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 1: this past weekend. But as we get to the combine,

368
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: a big trade today Lions moved David Montgomery to the

369
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 1: Texans to get back an offensive lineman, get a couple

370
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: of picks. I kind of like this for both sides.

371
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 1: Like right, it's hard for me to say, oh, hey,

372
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: one team really won, because look, Montgomery's still a good player,

373
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: but a luxury. The Texas needed him more, and clearly

374
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: the Lions see as many offensive linemen as they could

375
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 1: get jay after what happened last year.

376
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it makes sense. These are guys too who let's

377
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 2: face it. I mean, the Lions have to recalibrate some

378
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 2: of the way that they're spending their money, and you know,

379
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 2: it's it's going to be time to exert maximum explosion

380
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,360
Speaker 2: out of Gibbs, who obviously already became I can't come

381
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 2: a bell cow. You know, it was still too much

382
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: divisional labor for that. But I think we see which

383
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 2: way the wind was blowing there, So yeah, I mean

384
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: I get it is it going to end up moving

385
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 2: the needle being a difference maker for for other of

386
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: these teams that are looking to get over the top.

387
00:17:52,840 --> 00:18:00,919
Speaker 2: Probably not, but he's he brings an emotional intensity, he

388
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: plays with physicality, and they liked having that guy there

389
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:06,639
Speaker 2: in Joe Mixon. And I don't know if we're ever

390
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 2: going to find out exactly what the heck happened to

391
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 2: Joe mix Center or whatever, but I Joe Mixon never

392
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 2: plays again, it's not gonna be for the Texans, So

393
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: I get it.

394
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, that was an interesting angle right with Montgomery yesterday

395
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 4: going I don't want to go anywhere. Twenty four hours later,

396
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 4: you're you're going to the planet Houston as we roll up.

397
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 4: So coming out of the combine, what's the most interesting

398
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 4: rumor to pass your mailbox?

399
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 2: The most interesting rumor?

400
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 7: You know?

401
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I really wonder at the end of the

402
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 2: day if Max Cosby goes anyway, you know, And there's

403
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: a lot of people who think that the goalposts could

404
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 2: keep moving there, and that Tom Brady wants to kind

405
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: of play this out in a way that they want

406
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 2: everyone and Max to kind of feel like they're trying

407
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 2: to do right by him and going to do right

408
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 2: by him. But whatever you hear, the value is, Now,

409
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: that's a fungible thing. And I get the sense that

410
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: in that organization they have a hard time seeing themselves fielding. Look,

411
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: the defense might not be that competent with him, but

412
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: without him, I just don't know that there's a whole

413
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: lot of stomach for moving in there, especially if the

414
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:30,959
Speaker 2: draft picks that they think they're going to end up

415
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: getting aren't as high as they would like. And let's

416
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 2: be real, how many truly rebuilding teams are looking for

417
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:41,360
Speaker 2: a guy with, you know, as great as he is

418
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 2: that much tread on the tire. I probably not right.

419
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: These are more contending teams, and those draft picks are

420
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: a lot lower.

421
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: Jay.

422
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 1: When it comes to the quarterbacks, you've heard a lot

423
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 1: of different things. Kyler Murray obviously is going to get

424
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: released at some point. You think to a tongue of

425
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 1: Ailoa getting released at some point. First things first with

426
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: any of these guys, is anybody getting traded or are

427
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,719
Speaker 1: we waiting for all of them to get released?

428
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,639
Speaker 2: Yeah? I don't think anybody's got mean again, Kyler probably

429
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: like two of it was never getting traded. That just

430
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: was an impossibility make the way that thing was structured

431
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 2: and how poorly he played. You know, Kyler has more

432
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 2: athletic upside. There's maybe a chance that if they eat

433
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 2: enough of that contract they get something something for it.

434
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: But the closer you get to the start of the

435
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: league year, the more you know that people just are

436
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 2: inclined to they we're just gonna you know, we're gonna

437
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,879
Speaker 2: get them. We're gonna get him for nothing. So yeah,

438
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 2: I I I just don't know who signed. I don't

439
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: even know where Toua goes. I just that that will

440
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 2: be that'll be a pretty interesting situation to follow. But

441
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: I almost feel like a guy like Anthony Richardson, not

442
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: that you're going to get much for him, but for

443
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: what you have to pay him, which will be next

444
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 2: to nothing, and the ability to provide a different sort

445
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: of skill set if you do want him for five

446
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: to seven plays in a subtackage, or do you want

447
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 2: him to kind of be your Taysom Hill. I almost

448
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: feel like that's more interesting and intriguing when I pick personnel,

449
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: people's brains about this more than having two of their

450
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 2: as a backup who's not going to be able to

451
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,440
Speaker 2: push the ball. Downfield, who's not going to offer anything

452
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 2: with his legs, you know, who just wants to throw

453
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: screen passes.

454
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 4: Now I have to ask the question from my friend

455
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 4: here to my right, what do you expect Derek? Yeah,

456
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 4: what what is Derek Carr going to do as the

457
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 4: quarterback for the Jets?

458
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't I don't think I'm not buying this, But

459
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 2: nobody I'm talking to you, come on, man, this mythologist,

460
00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 2: this mythologizing of Derek. I mean, Derek car didn't have

461
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 2: much of a market when he got that deal on

462
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:02,879
Speaker 2: in New Orleans. Yeah. People I was talking to in

463
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 2: the league at that real time, where like the hell

464
00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: are the Saints doing? Like what is Mickey MoMA struck again?

465
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 2: Like it's another bizarre world contract. No, I don't think

466
00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 2: anybody's giving anything of the Saints for the rights to

467
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: pry him out of retirement. Now, could I see Tyler there?

468
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 2: That could that could? Yeah? I kind of do.

469
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: Well.

470
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,480
Speaker 1: The last the thing is like jacking.

471
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: Up in that division they're Miami. You know, I could

472
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 2: kind of say it because.

473
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 1: The thing is is that obviously Aaron Blenn and company

474
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: want to make it to twenty twenty seven, when there's

475
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks out there and things are there, and they

476
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 1: have all the draft picks, but they got to win this,

477
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 1: so they gotta be bold. They gotta go get somebody.

478
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 1: They got to go get something. And Kyler Murray, look,

479
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:56,199
Speaker 1: he's the guy that you're gonna be able to go

480
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: get and not have to trade a draft pick for

481
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: or anything else. And yeah, no, the more time goes

482
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: on Kyler Murray and the Jets guy, I don't know.

483
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 1: If Derek Carr's not going to talk his way back in,

484
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: it's going to be Kyler Murray.

485
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 2: And it could be a situation too where if you

486
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,439
Speaker 2: get him signed to a two year deal, right and

487
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 2: he plays okay, like he plays enough to stay healthy

488
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 2: enough to showcase a little bit, but you like that

489
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: draft class in you're in position to get Archer or whoever,

490
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 2: and you just trade him, you know what I mean.

491
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 2: So not only do you not have to give up

492
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 2: anything to acquire the rights to him, but maybe you

493
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 2: flip them for something decent next off season. Now, he's

494
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: not really going to be all that inclined to do

495
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 2: a two year deal, but I think he's about to get,

496
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: you know, flapped in the face by this market in

497
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 2: a way that he's never seen before. And the bottom

498
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: line is he's made his money. He made his money

499
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 2: with Arizona. Now you got to prove that you can

500
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,120
Speaker 2: really play in the league, and you got to prove

501
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 2: how fuck can you are? You got to prove Okay,

502
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 2: if it's just playing for the bid Wells as a

503
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: joke and that franchise is a joke and the coaches

504
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 2: you've been with are a joke, Okay, I mean, is

505
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: there something to that? Maybe a little something something, so

506
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 2: but this is it, you know what I mean? Now

507
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 2: you got to go and show it. So it might

508
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 2: be that, you know, the three or four teams that

509
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 2: are interested in him all want to sign him to

510
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: a two year deal.

511
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 4: So coming out of that, we look at the franchise

512
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,160
Speaker 4: tag starting to pop in and the Rubri conjecture speculation. Right,

513
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 4: we got George Pickens and Kyle Pitts the first two tag.

514
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 4: Does that happen with any of these these other guys

515
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 4: or they come to deals? While we're looking at the

516
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones Pierce Walker kind of kind.

517
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,119
Speaker 2: Of tree, you I don't think any I mean, Pierce

518
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,719
Speaker 2: is the one that I think something could happen there.

519
00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean the three guys who people in the league

520
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: were talking the most about. Pickens you knew was going

521
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 2: to get it, fits most people figured would probably get it.

522
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 2: You'd rather squat on them for one year than do

523
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 2: something long term if you don't have to. And Stefans,

524
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 2: you play so much twelve and thirteen personnel that it

525
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: would just make a lot of sense there. And then yeah,

526
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 2: Pierce was kind of the other one where people look

527
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,679
Speaker 2: at him as an ascending player, and if you do

528
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 2: that one, I would say it's more a bridge to

529
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: a long term deal than just squatting on them, where

530
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 2: I think Pickens is just going to get squatted on.

531
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: I think Pitts is just going to get squatted on

532
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 2: and that'll be it. I think Jones ends up back

533
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: in Indianapolis, but not on any sort of tag, and

534
00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 2: I don't know given his medical situation that you've got

535
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 2: to be in a rush to do that. Yeah, I'd

536
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: be surprised if if anybody else get it gets it.

537
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: Maybe there's a transition tag that sneaks in there, but

538
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 2: it's not going to be a robust class of tag.

539
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: Players NFL inside of Jason Locking for our guest Jason

540
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: Smith make harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

541
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: All right, now, a big bombshell coming in earlier today

542
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 1: when it comes to Caleb Downs, who coming into the

543
00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: draft probably the best player in all of college football

544
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: what he's done the last four years, probably going to

545
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,399
Speaker 1: be a top five pick, but now coming out of

546
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: the combine, a big report today that he's being flagged

547
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 1: with a potentially degen ACL. Now this is brand new,

548
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: you know we you know, maybe a couple of teams

549
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: have talked about this, but now this is out there.

550
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 1: Is this going to affect his draft stock? Does he drop? Did?

551
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: Do we need more on this? Jay Wheel? I know

552
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: this story is fairly new, but you know on what we.

553
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Say, Yeah, I haven't had a chance to you know

554
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,240
Speaker 2: what I mean, really run it by anybody coming out

555
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,760
Speaker 2: of the combine to see what their medical teams think

556
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: of there, or you know the extent of it. But look,

557
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: the most important thing that happens if the combine is

558
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 2: the medical and when you get the groups to clusters

559
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: of five or six team doctors and you know, they

560
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 2: do this sort of in their waves and they start

561
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 2: kicking photos on my eye results and everything yeah, it certainly.

562
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 2: It certainly can have an impact. It certainly can cause

563
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 2: players to go in some cases are half around later

564
00:26:55,400 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 2: then you'd think, in other cases even more. But yeah,

565
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: well we'll have to see. You know, how much of

566
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 2: this is open to interpretation than whether there's a consensus

567
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: forming among teams about the potential ramifications of this and

568
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,359
Speaker 2: the extent of it or not, because again, this is

569
00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:20,280
Speaker 2: not one size fits all. In a lot of these instances, good.

570
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: Or a bad thing that the top free agent that

571
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: everybody wants is a center.

572
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 2: Boy. And even then people who are act like he's

573
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: not creat Humphrey, he's not. He's smaller and he plays

574
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: the leverage game, but not to the degree that some

575
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: other people do. Yeah, look it's it's not it's not

576
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 2: a bumper crop. I mean like, in the right place,

577
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 2: could Tyler Wingabaum be a difference maker? I mean they

578
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 2: could talk me in. I mean kind is hard of maybe,

579
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 2: But in terms of guys who are going to go

580
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,360
Speaker 2: and sign in the first forty eight hours of free agency,

581
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: who really tip the balance of power in the scales

582
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: and take a team from on the cost to winning

583
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 2: it all or a team from on the fringe two

584
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 2: in the hunt. I don't. I look at this class

585
00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 2: and I just don't see that caliber of player. I

586
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 2: just I just don't. I don't really see it. Like,

587
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 2: if you're gonna tell me Trey Henderson is going to

588
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,959
Speaker 2: go back to what he was three years ago, I

589
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 2: mean i'd say okay, But I mean that's that's that's

590
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 2: a that's a big ask, that's a that's a reach.

591
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason lock and for that is

592
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: at Jason lock and for check him out on Wanna

593
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: Bet as well. Jay, as always, Buddy, appreciate it. Man,

Speaker 1: we'll talk to you next week. Enjoy the games this week.

595
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 2: Thanks for having me. Boys, Go crack it.

596
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: Go crack it. Hey, yeah's see Jason, you know now

597
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 1: now the thing is, yeah, they're playing the Canes. So

598
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 1: but that's okay. We're the best team in the Eastern Conference.

599
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:55,360
Speaker 2: The house.

600
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 1: Maybe you guys can throw some gloves down and get

601
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: after Yeah, well what if. Look, we're the best team

602
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: in the Eastern. Go I'm thinking Stanley cup the chef,

603
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 1: Stanley Cupper bust here. We are the best.

604
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,440
Speaker 4: March March, Frostburg. You fired, you fired a coach.

605
00:29:08,480 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 1: This weekend. Yes, I'll see you in the NHL Stanley

606
00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: Cup Final. I'll see if they fired their coach.

607
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 4: And today was the first time I saw a digital

608
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 4: billboard up on the road to work that said ghost Kings.

609
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 7: Yeah.

610
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: Well the Fed listen, Well, the nil people came in

611
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: and said, listen, we'll give you nil money if you

612
00:29:24,040 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 1: fire your coach. That's just like college. Yeah. But the

613
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 1: thing about Caleb Downs right now, now this he's not

614
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: the first guy to come in with a medical red flag.

615
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 4: Uh.

616
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: That says, hey, maybe potentially here's an injury that could

617
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: shorten his career, hurt him down the line. Maybe maybe not.

618
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: But he's coming into the league in his early twenties,

619
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 1: his first contract, his first few years in the league

620
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 1: are going to be fine. What this does for Caleb

621
00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: Downs because you know, look, as Jason locking forred said,

622
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 1: guys have lost half a round, maybe a full round

623
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,760
Speaker 1: because he's so special, because he's that good. I told you,

624
00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: and maybe I cursed him. Maybe I cursed him by saying, hey,

625
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,200
Speaker 1: he's a guy, take a number two best playing in

626
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: the drafter getting raw Woodson Now all of a sudden

627
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:05,719
Speaker 1: degenerative knee injury, I'm sorry, Caleb Downs, it's all by fault.

628
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

629
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,960
Speaker 1: This what this will do to him? This will knock

630
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:10,560
Speaker 1: him out of the top five. He's not gonna last

631
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: past number ten. He's still too special a player. He's

632
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,200
Speaker 1: still Teams are still gonna say we get a guy

633
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: who could be a Hall of Famer at number seven,

634
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,720
Speaker 1: number eight, number nine, but top five when you're seeing

635
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: guys with that that are big difference makers, Like for

636
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: the Jets to have a decision at number two between

637
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: him and RFL Reese, Well, we're gonna go with the

638
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 1: guy that gets after the quarterback, right, that's what you're

639
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: gonna see. Maybe you see Jeremiah Love jump up. He's

640
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,320
Speaker 1: gonna be someone that moves up in drafts, is more

641
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 1: special he becomes. So Caleb Downs will drop, but he's

642
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: not gonna drop out of the top ten. Probably out

643
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: of the top five, or I would say, yeah, I

644
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:42,240
Speaker 1: don't think he's getting out of the top five before today.

645
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 1: This is gonna be He'll go between five and ten.

646
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: That's gonna be his drop.

647
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, this is the one where we're still you know,

648
00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:49,400
Speaker 4: the cross of the t's dot in the eyes and

649
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 4: waiting on you know, further corroboration because it is a

650
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 4: medical thing. It's not like people are running to a

651
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 4: podium to say, yes, this is what happened. Corey Kinnan

652
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 4: daft on draft he's been part of you say today

653
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 4: for a number of years saying that an NFL scout

654
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 4: referred this to him. That you know, Downs had several

655
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:12,760
Speaker 4: issues flagged during the medical check, including the potential degenerative

656
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 4: knee or degenerative ACL issue, which you know the flag,

657
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 4: but again that that could be a long term we're

658
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 4: talking about a window to play. If he's still able

659
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 4: to move and you saw nothing on the field to

660
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 4: say that a downturn is imminent, that you still say,

661
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 4: all right, that guy's a big piece, especially if you're

662
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 4: a contending squad or looking to make a jump right away.

663
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: But certainly one worth noting as we go for it again.

664
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 4: Perhaps the Jason Smith jinx comes in here and it's

665
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 4: your fault. It is brace yourself with that lawsuit, buddy,

666
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:52,680
Speaker 4: Perhaps out it is yeah, okay, so it is that

667
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 4: David Montgomery traded Caleb Downs is hurt because everything is

668
00:31:56,520 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 4: problems in Detroit. Your fault, it's inevitable. Well, something bad's

669
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 4: gonna happen to the Pistons because you jumped on board

670
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 4: that So I mean bad job by you. But it's

671
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 4: always tough. When you come out of the medicals and

672
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 4: you come out of combined week, it's supposed to be

00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: his Wizard's debut on Thursday. I don't know unless you

779
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 1: gets could he get suspended for that game for because

780
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: he got thrown out of this game? Like like like

781
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 1: David Stern would do that, David sew play. Oh yeah, yeah,

782
00:37:40,239 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: you're done. You're done. Three four more games around. So

783
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,320
Speaker 1: we scheduled to make his debut Thursday. But now getting

784
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 1: thrown out of this game was just on the just

785
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,239
Speaker 1: on the sideline, just stepped on the court during a

786
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 1: bit of a fracas and heyp can't come on the court.

787
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,560
Speaker 1: Obviously he gets thrown out. I love how they they

788
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:58,680
Speaker 1: they they made sure to talk about him by name.

789
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:02,400
Speaker 1: We have a technical on Trey Young, who was obtained

790
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: by the Wizards at the deadline from the Hawks. He

791
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:08,080
Speaker 1: averaged twenty seven points a game for Atlanta, couldn't get

792
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: him past the second round of the playoffs. It's much

793
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,399
Speaker 1: hated in Madison Square. Oh sorry, yeah, he's thrown out

794
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:13,759
Speaker 1: of the game.

795
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:15,839
Speaker 4: We remember that we were watching the other night. It

796
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,799
Speaker 4: was the Denver OKC game and they went to the

797
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 4: table and after reviewing when Sga threw the ball off Jokic,

798
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: they go, well, he threw it off the joker, and like, okay,

799
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,000
Speaker 4: so we've seen some crazy stuff at the desk.

800
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:30,759
Speaker 1: This is like.

801
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 4: Billy Crystal throwing Kareem Abdul Jabbar out before the opening

802
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 4: tip and forget Paris. Yeah, it's my farewell game. Well,

803
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,760
Speaker 4: let me be the verse to say, hey, farewell nineteen

804
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 4: ninety five, showing my age when Cap was still in Uni.

805
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 4: But all of that to say, it's it's a very

806
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 4: curious strategy and how what are the parameters of the

807
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 4: sideline slash coaches box? Right, it's always been a gray area.

808
00:38:57,160 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: When do you decide he's come a step too far?

809
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,240
Speaker 4: In this case, you're still not playing.

810
00:39:03,400 --> 00:39:03,879
Speaker 1: Just sit out.

811
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,080
Speaker 4: But he took a couple of steps onto the court

812
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,480
Speaker 4: and was promptly shown the door, and he took the

813
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 4: high fives all the way out, all the way up

814
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 4: the tunnel, getting love from the fans.

815
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,480
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing, and you want a great, big

816
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,080
Speaker 1: hot take Okay, the Wizards, here's your work.

817
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 4: Well the wine neck, because I think they want to

818
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,400
Speaker 4: beg for shoes.

819
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:27,320
Speaker 1: I got news for you man, He's gonna start playing Thursday. Okay,

820
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:32,920
Speaker 1: that's great. Eventually a D will start playing at some point. Okay, great.

821
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:36,120
Speaker 1: They got a couple of pretty good young players. Okay,

822
00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,000
Speaker 1: Star is pretty good. Right, George is pretty good. Don't

823
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: forget CJ. McCollum. Right, but what did I say at

824
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 1: the trade deadline? This is like, you know, I love

825
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 1: the nineties. We're getting all guys who were great ten

826
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 1: years ago. What this is like the B the B

827
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,400
Speaker 1: team of a dream team, like the if it was

828
00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 1: ten years ago the B dream team in the NBA,

829
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: like we were sending the second wave of stars to

830
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: go play in the Olympics, it would be A D. McCollum,

831
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,920
Speaker 1: Trey Young l That's who it would be. It's the East.

832
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: This is stop Brunson's at the top level.

833
00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: He makes he's the top level. Uh.

834
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 1: But I got news for you. In the East. I

835
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 1: can see there being a a I know this is

836
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 1: a hot take and it sounds crazy, but I can

837
00:40:17,840 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: see I can see a scenario which next year the

838
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: Wizards go from absolutely irrelevant to woe. They could be

839
00:40:24,719 --> 00:40:26,960
Speaker 1: middle of the pack in the Eastern Conference. I can

840
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 1: see them making that leap too well when they get there,

841
00:40:29,760 --> 00:40:31,399
Speaker 1: when they get these guys playing, and now the young

842
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:33,840
Speaker 1: guys don't have to have such complete roles of of

843
00:40:34,000 --> 00:40:35,680
Speaker 1: running the team because it's look as good as Sarr

844
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: and George are, these are still guys that are young

845
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:39,840
Speaker 1: and they and they're becoming. You got a d you

846
00:40:39,920 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 1: have Trey Young like you have a couple of dudes

847
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 1: on this team. And again it is the East and

848
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: the East you're seeing teams are not very good, man,

849
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 1: they just aren't. I can see I can see the

850
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,399
Speaker 1: being a middle of the pack team in the East

851
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:54,920
Speaker 1: next year. Just think about that. They've long been a

852
00:40:54,960 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 1: team where we just we just dump our guys. That's

853
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:59,120
Speaker 1: one step close to being out of the NBA and

854
00:40:59,480 --> 00:41:01,040
Speaker 1: you're going you're never coming back.

855
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 4: Well, we talked about that random stat that included Tim Duncan,

856
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 4: who's been retired for a decade, right that he had

857
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:16,280
Speaker 4: more wins than the Wizards since nineteen ninety seven. So yeah,

858
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 4: it's kind of a weird thing, uh, Cashawn George though,

859
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:23,719
Speaker 4: second year guy fourteen eight five rebounds a game. Can

860
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 4: you coax enough games played out of Tree Young and

861
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,879
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis. There's your billion dollar question now.

862
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:30,520
Speaker 1: But there's the thing. It's not like you have the

863
00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 1: You have to rely just on the one I said,

864
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 1: you have a couple of good young players out like

865
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:37,439
Speaker 1: this mix, I call me crazy, Like you say, who

866
00:41:37,440 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: could come out of nowhere next year? That's my team.

867
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:42,360
Speaker 4: I like your insanity. The Wizard all of a sudden,

868
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 4: this is uh, you know, it's extra evidence for when

869
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 4: he says, look, I went mad. You can prove it.

870
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: There's tape on the radio when I said the Wizards

871
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 4: were gonna suddenly.

872
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 1: Talking about the Wizards for the first time since Jordan

873
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 1: played there. Yeah, think about that.

874
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 4: Hey, hey, that's back to back to back NASCAR champion

875
00:41:58,360 --> 00:41:59,480
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan.

876
00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,480
Speaker 1: About a Fresco exit swollen dome coming up next. Let's

877
00:42:03,480 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: play matchmaker with quarterbacks or hitting free agency alone. Kind

878
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: of needs the long shorts and the rip jersey, and

879
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:12,480
Speaker 1: then the Lakers rip jersey that is in the Hall

880
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: of Fame. I think we need that one to keep

881
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: the Lakers out your mouth.

882
00:42:16,920 --> 00:42:19,120
Speaker 4: What positivity wins over the weekend?

883
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:21,759
Speaker 1: Come on, no positivity.

884
00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 4: When Jason just said.

885
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,959
Speaker 1: That, I'm just I'm just saying it was a very

886
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 1: very negative, big moment for that Jersey, and you know

887
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,040
Speaker 1: they they wound up losing in the finals.

888
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

889
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:38,719
Speaker 1: Now the NFL Combine is over, and already talk has

890
00:42:38,760 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: turned from hey, the guys we saw running around and

891
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,920
Speaker 1: and who's moving up and who's moving down? To what's

892
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna happen with the quarterbacks? Right? Every today there was

893
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,239
Speaker 1: everywhere you turned there was a new rumor, whether it

894
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 1: was for Kyler Murray or for two a tongue of Iloa,

00:43:07,360 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: All the agents, all the players, Hey, they did everything

900
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to the combine, which was make sure everybody

Speaker 1: sure everybody's great.

903
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: Sad we didn't make the sojourn I think next year

904
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,440
Speaker 4: we have to do that. Just be at these different

905
00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:26,439
Speaker 4: watering holes and listen to the nonsense that starts being

906
00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 4: spewed and the rumors. You gotta print that, right, that'll

Speaker 4: get out there about my guy. That's how that's really

908
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:32,799

00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 1: figure out, the fix and eight men out right, because

00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:38,799
Speaker 1: he hung out at the bar. We're listening to all

912
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,279
Speaker 1: the players talking about stuff going, Yeah, I figured without

913
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: the pictures we were gonna lose, so why not if

914
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,359
Speaker 1: they were getting paid, I should get paid too. And

915
00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:47,600
Speaker 1: he's listening to to Charlie Sheen talk about how he

916
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: fixed the World series.

917
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:51,759
Speaker 4: What I do is hang out loose lips, like, hey,

918
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 4: you know this guy had a bad, bad medical this

919

Speaker 4: with the Ohio state wide out, tait. I mean all

922
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: of these things we got chaos.

923
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 1: I mean you for every quarterback, there's five different teams

924
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: that are linked to them. Right now, here's the best.

925
00:44:14,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: Fayre's the best. Fan right tells me like again, the

926
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:18,640
Speaker 1: agents were doing their job. Hey, everybody's walking out of

927
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:20,239
Speaker 1: here believing everything that was told to them.

928
00:44:20,360 --> 00:44:21,239
Speaker 4: Work overtime.

929
00:44:21,960 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: Here's what I heard at the combine. Here's they told

930
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 1: me the combat. Okay, so instead, let's do something a

931
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: little bit better. Let's give you the best fits. Okay

932
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,080
Speaker 1: for the quarterbacks. We'll go as far as we go,

933
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:35,399
Speaker 1: all the way down the line. Maybe may even get

934
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: to Genosmith. I mean, maybe not. But let's start with

935
00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, right. You know, Jason locking Ford joined us

936
00:44:40,760 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 1: last hour in the show and said, oh, you know

937
00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:43,879
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray and the Jets. Look, I said that early

938
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,719
Speaker 1: on in the offseason. Kyler Murray's going to be a

939
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:49,440
Speaker 1: guy that Jets kind of have to go after because, look,

940
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 1: the Jets, as much as you would say, hey, we're

941
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:54,160
Speaker 1: waiting for twenty twenty seven, the Jets know we have

942
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 1: to win this year, right because Aaron Glenn wants to

943
00:44:56,680 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 1: be around a draft arch Manning in twenty twenty seven. Win,

944
00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:03,080
Speaker 1: they stink, So I gotta go after somebody. But Kyler

945
00:45:03,160 --> 00:45:05,120
Speaker 1: Murray's not gonna be a Jet because you're only a

946
00:45:05,200 --> 00:45:07,600
Speaker 1: Jet if you have no other options. That's what That's

947
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 1: what the thing is. And Kyler Murray has options. Look,

948
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:12,920
Speaker 1: he's going to get released and he's going to wind

949
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:17,480
Speaker 1: up being the best quarterback out there because he has

950
00:45:17,520 --> 00:45:21,480
Speaker 1: the best combination of youth, experience and what he has done.

951
00:45:21,680 --> 00:45:23,480
Speaker 1: Right now, he's an injurist, but there's a reason why

952
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: he's available. If he was perfect, he would still be

953
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: a member of the Arizona Cardinals, Right, So the Cardinals

954
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 1: are gonna eat money and he's gonna jump to the

955
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,879
Speaker 1: top of a lot of teams lists because of that situation. Hey,

956
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 1: he's not gonna cost a lot. Probably somewhere in the

957
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:40,359
Speaker 1: Justin Fields two years forty million, which we talked about

958
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: a few days ago, and congratulations to everybody else was

959
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,920
Speaker 1: running with that today for him and Malik Willis. You know,

960
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,279
Speaker 1: probably something in the Justin Fields range. I wasn't even

961
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,359
Speaker 1: at the combine and I told you these guys are

962
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: going to get probably two years, forty million, twenty million guaranteed. Right,

963
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 1: That's how it's gonna go. But the best fit for

964
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:59,800
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, where he should go both sides is Atlanta.

965
00:46:00,239 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 5: Okay.

966
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,200
Speaker 1: The Falcons know they have to do something for Michael

967
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,640
Speaker 1: Pennock Junior, and it's not we need to go get

968
00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 1: somebody to come in that could play if Michael Pennick

969
00:46:08,400 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 1: Junior can't. He has not flashed at all Right, Michael

970
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 1: Pennix has not shown that he's the quarterback that they

971
00:46:14,200 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 1: thought he was gonna be coming out of the draft. Look,

972
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: I said when he was overdrafted, when he had perfect

973
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:21,759
Speaker 1: pockets at Washington, it was wonderful, right when I had

974
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,919
Speaker 1: perfect pocket. Hey, every quarterback looks great. But the one

975
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 1: game where he had a tough time when he didn't

976
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 1: have a perfect pocket Michigan made him look like a guy.

977
00:46:29,360 --> 00:46:32,520
Speaker 1: The dude, can you can you get rid of the football? Can?

978
00:46:32,560 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 1: Can you really find the receivers? And what we've seen

979
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 1: in the NFL is he can't stay healthy and he

980
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,919
Speaker 1: hasn't flashed and he has weapons there. Right. Finally, Kyle

981
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:43,680
Speaker 1: Pitts last year jumped into a great year when he

982
00:46:43,760 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: barely played Jean Robinson's number one running back in the NFL. Right,

983
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 1: Drake Lennon still really good. You have a couple of

984
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: weapons there in Atlanta, but the mix of Kyler Murray

985
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,880
Speaker 1: in Atlanta, it's a great head coach quarterback situation, much

986
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,000
Speaker 1: as you want to say about Kevin Stefanski and didn't

987
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:01,680
Speaker 1: get a great grade for for the Browns as far

988
00:47:01,719 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: as head coaches go. Aaron Glenn got an a which

989
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,279
Speaker 1: tells you what you should believe about the coaches and

990
00:47:06,280 --> 00:47:10,600
Speaker 1: their grades or the NFLPA reports. But Stefanski has shown

991
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: he can do it with any quarterback. He made it

992
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:16,080
Speaker 1: work with whoever was playing quarterback for the Browns to

993
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 1: the best of their ability. He's saying, guy, hey, look,

994
00:47:17,920 --> 00:47:21,319
Speaker 1: Shador Sanders wound up actually being good. Right four quarterbacks here,

995
00:47:21,360 --> 00:47:22,839
Speaker 1: he took him to the playoffs. Coach of the Year

996
00:47:22,880 --> 00:47:26,360
Speaker 1: twice in the NFL. Kyler Murray needs to go somewhere

997
00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,400
Speaker 1: where he can be coached, where he can buy in

998
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,520
Speaker 1: right of whatever's going on in Arizona. There's no buying now.

999
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 1: When you are the number one overall pick and you

1000
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 1: go through a lot of different regimes, you are by

1001
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 1: de facto the most powerful person in the organization. Matter

1002
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: what you're paying me. I'm here, how many coaches, how

1003
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,439
Speaker 1: many gms, I'm the most powerful guy. Now you got

1004
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 1: to go someplace else. You got to prove it. So

1005
00:47:49,800 --> 00:47:52,319
Speaker 1: the buy and he's got to get has to be

1006
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 1: something that all right, I'm now something. I'm now doing

1007
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 1: something i haven't had to do in a long time,

1008
00:47:57,400 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 1: and that is sell myself and make sure that I'm

1009
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:01,799
Speaker 1: the best version of myself. When you combine that with

1010
00:48:01,840 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 1: Stefanskin what he's being able to get out of quarterbacks.

1011
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:07,919
Speaker 1: The Falcons have a young energy about them, right. They say,

1012
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: we just need the right people in place. We need

1013
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:11,879
Speaker 1: the right guy pulling the trigger. We need the right

1014
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: guys head coach. We have weapons everywhere else they're probably

1015
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:18,200
Speaker 1: gonna wind up keeping Kyle Pitts. Murray should want to

1016
00:48:18,239 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: go there. He should want to go to a team

1017
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: where the division is there for the taking. It's not

1018
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:24,440
Speaker 1: a great division, that's a team that is a quarterback

1019
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:27,080
Speaker 1: away and the dual threat capabilities that he brings them.

1020
00:48:27,440 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: I can see Atlanta's offense lighting up the scoreboard. Now,

1021
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,799
Speaker 1: health is a big thing for Kyler Murray, but that

1022
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,640
Speaker 1: mix of I got to go someplace with a great

1023
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,320
Speaker 1: kind of energy where I can be coached, where I

1024
00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:40,680
Speaker 1: can still be me and I can go and it's

1025
00:48:40,680 --> 00:48:43,480
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that are around my age that hey,

1026
00:48:43,520 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: we're ready to do something great together. Kyler Murray, Atlanta

1027
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:47,279
Speaker 1: is a great fit.

1028
00:48:47,440 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1029
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 4: I mean, you're talking about a two time Coach of

1030
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,920
Speaker 4: the Year. Your point about the grades, who knows what

1031
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 4: is he was the unfortunate middleman of whatever was going

1032
00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,640
Speaker 4: on between the front office, Jimmy Haslam and back into

1033
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 4: the lot like you're in a no win situation, particularly

1034
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 4: this year related to how they ran with the quarterback position. Hell,

1035
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,920
Speaker 4: they still have to deal with whatever Deshaun Watson is

1036
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 4: at this point. For Kyler Murray the other place, and

1037
00:49:13,600 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 4: it looks like they're probably gonna keep him in Indianapolis

1038
00:49:16,920 --> 00:49:19,880
Speaker 4: with Daniel Jones coming off injury and stuff. Would be

1039
00:49:19,960 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 4: that would be a spot as well that you've got

1040
00:49:21,600 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 4: playmakers and already made opportunity to go and win, right,

1041
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 4: same kind of parallel we talk about both of the

1042
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,840
Speaker 4: the South and the AFC in the South and the

1043
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 4: NFC that you can go and get it with Atlanta.

1044
00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:36,879
Speaker 4: You've got a defense that you've rebuilt over the last

1045
00:49:36,920 --> 00:49:40,040
Speaker 4: couple of years. You talk about all the weapons, offensive

1046
00:49:40,080 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 4: line grades out pretty well. The big question for Kyler

1047
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,839
Speaker 4: Murray and I can't use sonic and knuckles because we're

1048
00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:48,440
Speaker 4: talking about that in sad terms elsewhere. Yeah, but if

1049
00:49:48,440 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 4: we don't have turbo mode Kyler Murray, it's a curiosity

1050
00:49:52,040 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 4: of what the next iteration of his play is, right,

1051
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,319
Speaker 4: because we've talked about it a lot. People can make

1052
00:49:57,360 --> 00:50:00,560
Speaker 4: fun of the video games and the rumor about hit that.

1053
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:03,480
Speaker 4: It's like Taylor Swift wrote a lot of songs about

1054
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,360
Speaker 4: breakups and bad guys. At some point, there is a

1055
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 4: common denominator to all of it. Right, you couldn't have

1056
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:12,319
Speaker 4: been one hundred percent on your side as well. And

1057
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:14,120
Speaker 4: that's the thing with Kyler Murray. As much as we

1058
00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:16,600
Speaker 4: mock the bid Wells and the way they've run things

1059
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 4: there in Arizona, all these years, you've gone through several

1060
00:50:20,160 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 4: quarterbacks coaches, quarterback coaches, and coordinators, and nobody's been able

1061
00:50:25,840 --> 00:50:29,520
Speaker 4: to unlock seventeen game plus Kyler Murray. At this point,

1062
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:32,480
Speaker 4: maybe Stefanski's that guy because we still have seen that

1063
00:50:32,640 --> 00:50:36,840
Speaker 4: raw talent and maybe it can develop there in a

1064
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:40,520
Speaker 4: division that they can go and win. Because even last year,

1065
00:50:40,600 --> 00:50:44,439
Speaker 4: as poorly as they played for years, or for most

1066
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 4: of the year, they still finished eight and nine. They

1067
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,480
Speaker 4: were still in the thick of it. What is all

1068
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 4: said and done. Go back to the Pennix drafting. Look,

1069
00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 4: you drafted a guy who'd already ripped his knee twice. Yeah, Look,

1070
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 4: whatever the circumstances he and cousins, you were already on borrow.

1071
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,799
Speaker 1: Time and you're not drafting high enough to you're not

1072
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,040
Speaker 1: gonna go draft a quarterback in the draft. You can

1073
00:51:03,040 --> 00:51:05,520
Speaker 1: get somebody younger coming. It should be a match where

1074
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 1: Kyler should want to go there, and it should be

1075
00:51:07,680 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 1: able to take advantage of his talents because it's kind

1076
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:12,200
Speaker 1: of what they want to do in Atlanta and and

1077
00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,919
Speaker 1: it is, Hey, we're gonna build around this young core.

1078
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:17,359
Speaker 1: And maybe again it's a risk, but there's a reason

1079
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 1: why he's out there. So for Kyler Murray, Atlanta works.

1080
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:25,520
Speaker 1: Now for Tua, this is a tough one. But come on, man,

1081
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 1: him throwing the ball in him throwing the ball in

1082
00:51:29,320 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: those swirling winds that met life. Forget it, man, it

1083
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:35,200
Speaker 1: would look like me throwing a whiffle ball. Perfect.

1084
00:51:35,400 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 4: It has great movement to forget it, not supposed to move.

1085
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:42,799
Speaker 4: It's a flutterball.

1086
00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 1: That's like. That's like me throwing a whiffle ball underwater

1087
00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: like that. That's what watching Tua try to throw the

1088
00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: ball there would be.

1089
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 2: Uh.

1090
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 1: The best spot for Tua is Minnesota. He's got to

1091
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:56,759
Speaker 1: go somewhere where he can get off the radar for

1092
00:51:56,800 --> 00:51:59,520
Speaker 1: a little bit because the front the front lines, he's

1093
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 1: been with MYAI has not worked. They built weapons around him,

1094
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:05,600
Speaker 1: He's had great players around him, and it didn't work,

1095
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:07,680
Speaker 1: to the point where now he's got to go someplace else.

1096
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 1: Doesn't have the strongest arm. The dome is a very

1097
00:52:10,760 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: big deal right away, and the offense is somewhat similar

1098
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: to what he had when he was a four thousand

1099
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: yard passer right Tyreek Hill. Justin Jefferson still found a

1100
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:21,960
Speaker 1: way to get the ball to Tyreek Kill. He could

1101
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 1: find a way to get it to Justin Jefferson. He's

1102
00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: got to go someplace where he can get off the

1103
00:52:26,960 --> 00:52:31,560
Speaker 1: radar and get into a system where when it's his turn,

1104
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:34,239
Speaker 1: he can come in and fire right. And look, Kevin

1105
00:52:34,239 --> 00:52:36,840
Speaker 1: O'Connell's a really good quarterback coach. You know, they're just

1106
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:40,200
Speaker 1: waiting to turn the page on JJ McCarthy. They got

1107
00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 1: to bring somebody in because you can't just continue to

1108
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: go down a bad decision, which was boy, we let

1109
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:47,919
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold go. So they have to do something. So now,

1110
00:52:47,960 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 1: if they want to light a fire under JJ McCarthy,

1111
00:52:49,920 --> 00:52:51,600
Speaker 1: it's got to be somebody who well, if we need

1112
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: to go to this guy, he can do it. And

1113
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,040
Speaker 1: we've seen too would do it before and again a

1114
00:52:56,040 --> 00:52:59,640
Speaker 1: friendly confines environment in Minnesota. I can see him having

1115
00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 1: six in Minnesota, coming in and learning the system, and

1116
00:53:03,800 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: maybe he doesn't really get pushed to the front until

1117
00:53:06,239 --> 00:53:08,719
Speaker 1: late in the summer, or he takes over early part

1118
00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: of the year after he really gets in and sees

1119
00:53:10,880 --> 00:53:13,759
Speaker 1: how things go in Minnesota. But to him to go

1120
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,480
Speaker 1: someplace else high profile to be a starter, not it

1121
00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:20,920
Speaker 1: he goes to Minnesota, that that solves the best of

1122
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 1: both worlds for both sides, for both him and for

1123
00:53:23,040 --> 00:53:23,400
Speaker 1: the Viking.

1124
00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,239
Speaker 4: I think it comes down to what's his makeup in

1125
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,319
Speaker 4: terms of being able to take heat, because that's not

1126
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:31,960
Speaker 4: a low profile thing. Because how much error and oxygen

1127
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 4: gets into the room when we start talking about JJ

1128
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:38,120
Speaker 4: McCarthy an awful lot, right, there's a lot of folks

1129
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 4: invested on either side of I'm a blind stand for

1130
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,200
Speaker 4: this guy from Michigan, or folks that just think he's

1131
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,360
Speaker 4: terrible and was carried along and didn't deserve a of

1132
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:51,359
Speaker 4: the draft status. The Sam Darnold victory and everything else.

1133
00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 4: TOUA goes into a pretty hot space in that regard.

1134
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 4: I think you want to go to somewhere where you

1135
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 4: could just go blend in and be amongst the trees.

1136
00:53:58,360 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 4: You take over for Kyler Murray and nobody cares.

1137
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,200
Speaker 1: They're still gonna go with Jacoby Brissett to go to

1138
00:54:04,239 --> 00:54:07,520
Speaker 1: somebody younger. But the thing is they're gonna stick with JJ. McCarthy.

1139
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:09,799
Speaker 1: Is gonna get all the attention off the bat, all

1140
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 1: the attention. Is he gonna work, Is he gonna and

1141
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: they'll be waiting for two a time. They will start

1142
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,120
Speaker 1: loving to it just because he's the backup and we

1143
00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,239
Speaker 1: saw the guy throw for four thousand yards a few

1144
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: years ago, So just by sitting there and learning, he's

1145
00:54:21,680 --> 00:54:23,960
Speaker 1: going to become the more desirable option. At some point

1146
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:24,680
Speaker 1: he's going to win.

1147
00:54:24,680 --> 00:54:28,320
Speaker 4: The batavor favorable and but popular guy in the building.

1148
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 1: There's gonna be so much attention on JJ McCarthy out

1149
00:54:31,040 --> 00:54:33,200
Speaker 1: of the gate for all the offseason into the season

1150
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: that it's impossible for him to live up to it

1151
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 1: because he's not that great a quarterback. So eventually two

1152
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,719
Speaker 1: is going to take over and he's going to get

1153
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:42,360
Speaker 1: to slide into the job maybe begin middle of the season,

1154
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:44,680
Speaker 1: early part of the season, where hey, he's a big

1155
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,319
Speaker 1: story and look at him come in playing pretty well

1156
00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 1: just some time to just decompress and be out of

1157
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:52,720
Speaker 1: the spotlight for a few months will do him, wonders.

1158
00:54:52,760 --> 00:54:55,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first deep ball he connects with Justin Jefferson

1159
00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 4: becomes the highlight of all highlights, especially once Jefferson retweets

1160
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,279
Speaker 4: remember what he had to say after the.

1161
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:06,719
Speaker 1: Season ended with JJ McCarthy, Hey, Hey, JJ, you're gonna

1162
00:55:06,719 --> 00:55:09,120
Speaker 1: retweet my past to You're right, Yeah, I'll get to it, dory,

1163
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 1: but thanks. I pray that really helped me.

1164
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:10,680
Speaker 2: Man.

1165
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:12,480
Speaker 1: If you can tweet that, I love that. I love that.
