00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,280

217
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: anybody to know it. We ain't gonna say, but we

218
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: do have lip readers. They saw it on you.

219
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: Yeah he's black.

220
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: Look y'all know black. Don't crack he's sixty.

221
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 4: No, no, no, but but let's wish a very happy

222
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 4: birthday to Elijah. Happy birthday.

223
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 1: Yes, if you're listening to you doing it or Elijah's

224
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: doing it, No, Elijah's off.

225
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 4: That's why, first of all.

226
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: And then I set it down, Elijah, if you better

227
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: not be on another tour vacation.

228
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: You know they're going.

229
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 3: They don't mess around. I know I'm going to Ohamas

230
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 3: next week. That is not the point. All right, let's

231
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 3: get here, can we just start, Let's do it.

232
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: Lakers lost again, and you know what, I know, people,

233
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 1: it's the same old story right their defense. They can't

234
00:10:53,880 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 1: stop anybody. And I'm just I'm here you are, and

235
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: I think it's pretty obvious. JJ Reddick is not the

236
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 1: coach that people thought he was when he first came.

237
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: He remember they were winning and they were talking about

238
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: he's the next pat Riley and he is gonna be

239
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 1: coaching the year. You remember all that, and where are

240
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: they now? And then there'll be the people say.

241
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 4: It ain't his fault, it's de rust. They don't have

242
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 4: the pieces parts and you know what, I'm not buying it.

243
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna change that, baby, Cuz JJ Reddick should be

244
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: fired as coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

245
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: And here's the reason why.

246
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: Last year, when they got Luca, everybody in their uncle

247
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 1: Kevin tell me, I'm lying. I wouldn't count O Lebron

248
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: and Luca. Oh those two, are you kidding? I don't

249
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: want to see them got knocked out in first round.

250
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 1: This year, Luca came in better shape. They got off

251
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,839
Speaker 1: to a good start when Lebron won there and now

252
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: look where they are.

253
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: They lost last night to the Sons.

254
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Injury depleted Sons. Injury depleted Sons last night, dude. And

255
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 1: my only point to you, this is why it should

256
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 1: be fired, is their roster Floyd. Yes, they don't play

257
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: hard enough for him. They haven't. They don't have enough

258
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 1: respect for JJ Reddick to even try defensively, I don't

259
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: expect them to be in the top twenty individually defensively,

260
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,959
Speaker 1: I just didn't expect this where everybody knows what their

261
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: weakness is, and night after night after night, Calvin, they

262
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: don't they don't try. They don't try hard enough. That

263
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: comes out.

264
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 4: You know. Defense is about desire, hustle and hard work.

265
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,719
Speaker 1: They haven't done it.

266
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 3: You know how you do, So welcome back. It is

267
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 3: good to have you back yesterday because I ain't heard

268
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 3: nothing crazy this week. Now I needed something crazy. JJ

269
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 3: Reddick does not need to be fired, but I understand

270
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,160
Speaker 3: what you're saying. They don't have that to them. As

271
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 3: we're getting ready to watch a team right now, you

272
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 3: got the Pistons on as an example of a team

273
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: that just have that like dog in them. We're gonna

274
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 3: fight now. That's why I believe. Really this hot seat

275
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 3: is for Rob Plinka. Really, if I'm new ownership, the

276
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 3: person I'm looking at right now is Rob Plinka because

277
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: number one, you won a championship back in twenty twenty,

278
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 3: when you had Clutch Sports running things with Lebron. They

279
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 3: go get a d they move some pieces. You got

280
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 3: a bunch of Clutch Sports guy KCP and so on

281
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,520
Speaker 3: and so forth. You win that championship, what do they do.

282
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 3: We got an identity, We got Frank Vogel, who's a

283
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 3: defensive minded coach. Let's get rid of Frank after the

284
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 3: next year. Let's get rid of all the players that

285
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 3: make sense for what Frank Vogel does. So let's get

286
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 3: rid of all the ingredients to make tacos and bring

287
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 3: in some thew ingredients to make meat loaf. It doesn't

288
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 3: make sense. And they get rid of him, and they've

289
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 3: been ever since. They've been you know that first round

290
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: exit or get to the second round, lose to Denver.

291
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 3: That's what they've been since you get Luca last year.

292
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 3: You know what Luca is. Luca is deficient defensively, Luca

293
00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: is not what you're referring to, gonna play hard, Luca's

294
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 3: gonna complain to the refs, Luca's gonna do all of that. Well,

295
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 3: then you have to surround him with guys who can

296
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 3: make up for those deficiencies, and they haven't, and they

297
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 3: run out the same roster. They get a bunch of

298
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 3: other guys who don't. You bring in guys who can

299
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 3: uh do others who can shoot but they can't defend.

300
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: You can bring in other guys who won't die on

301
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: the floor. You bring another guys who want to bring

302
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 3: that extra grit. And I was telling Brandon, according to you.

303
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 1: Then JJ Reddick should never be fired. No, he can

304
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: be fired. To take you, I'm gonna tell you why.

305
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: This season, to me is the last hurrah Lebron.

306
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: So I think that the ownership is even in the

307
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 3: back of the hair going all of y'all, JJ, Rob,

308
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: Polinka and you even Luca every We're gonna try, we're

309
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: gonna do the best we can, but ultimately.

310
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: We know this is the last season. It's not just Lebron.

311
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 3: But what I'm saying again, you're right your roster, so

312
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,120
Speaker 3: this roster is not a defensive driven The best, the

313
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 3: best at least a tenth is Marcus Smart, but he's

314
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: a little long in the tooth. So to me, Rapolinka

315
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 3: does not have the pieces, the ingredients to make the

316
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: meal that they're trying to make.

317
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: And I think for them, this is the last arrival Lebron.

318
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 3: And now that everybody's on the clock as we start

319
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 3: next season, I think that's how they view it because

320
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: everybody Ropolnka, you better build around Luca.

321
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: Do what you gotta do. Fifty something millions off the book.

322
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 3: When Lebron is gone, Luca, you say you want to

323
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: be the franchise leader, show us there's no more excuses now.

324
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: And last point, we saw it last night on the

325
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 3: shot that won for Phoenix. Lucas guarding the ball, they

326
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: knew just attack Luca. Lebron knew Luca's gonna get beat,

327
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: so he left from the corner and we ain't seen

328
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 3: Lebron houst so that hard in a minute, and he

329
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 3: ran hardest thatc to go block that shot. But the

330
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 3: offensive player said, oh shoo, where Lebron come from? And

331
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:01,880
Speaker 3: he kicked into the corner for the three. And that's

332
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 3: because Lebron had zero trust in Luca, so he overcompensated

333
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 3: and hayes Man got an open shot. And to me,

334
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 3: between that and the fumble shot between him and Luca,

335
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 3: you're seeing these microcosms as what's wrong with the squad?

336
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 4: All right?

337
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 1: Eight seven seven ninety nine on Fox eight seven seven

338
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: nine nine six sixty three sixty nine. It's pretty clear

339
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: to me that JJ Reddick hasn't lived up to the billing.

340
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: They don't play hard for them. I think the Lakers

341
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: should fire him after this season, start fresh, get another

342
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: coach in here because he hasn't gotten it done. Kelvin says,

343
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: it's Polenka and the roster.

344
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:35,480

00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,960
Speaker 1: It's it's it's just it's a dog in poems?

376
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 4: Is it really is?

377
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: Like you know who's who, and you.

378
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 4: Know who you like?

379
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 3: And one player every now and again jumps up because

380
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 3: what we didn't realize he was that fast while he

381
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 3: jumps inside.

382
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 4: But it was so.

383
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: Energetic and enthusiastic that Aaron Glenn couldn't keep his eyes

384
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: open at the place of all people. Of course, the

385
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: camera can you imagine, I mean I cannot catch a

386
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,919
Speaker 1: break my eye, his homie. Somebody was blowing his phone up.

387
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 4: Man, wake up?

388
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: What you of all the people?

389
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 8: Right?

390
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,320
Speaker 3: Because if it's if it's again Sean McVay, or if

391
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 3: it's a handful of other coaches, you be like, all.

392
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: Right, well, you know he's working hard.

393
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 4: That's what happens.

394
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: When you work hard, you get tired.

395
00:18:37,160 --> 00:18:39,159
Speaker 3: But when you have a bad right, when you have

396
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 3: a bad didn't get an interception the whole season, and

397
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: you're a defensive coordinator, that's what you come from, defensive

398
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,920
Speaker 3: defensive side of the dB. Right, Yeah, that that that

399
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,880
Speaker 3: can't be so yeah that that was a bad look

400
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 3: for him. I'm like, man, he probably feels like he

401
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 3: can't get a break conversation about Brandon Aubrey Kicker. Amazing

402
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 3: kicker that is for the Dallas Cowboys, the best in

403
00:18:58,880 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: the league, best.

404
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 4: In the league.

405
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 3: He wants something kickers Normally, Me and You've talked about this.

406
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes people do this, even in our industry. Used to

407
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 3: be the massouse guy, the masseuse guy. Justin Tucker, Justin Tucker.

408
00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Justin Tuckett, Tucker, I mean sorry about that,

409
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: Justin Tuckett. Tucker. I mean, I meant, Tucker, you are crazy,

410
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry.

411
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 3: So usually, you know, in industries, a lot of times

412
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 3: people just take what they can get, right, even you

413
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 3: listening right now. A lot of times people just say, hey,

414
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: here's what we're gonna pay people because they're happy.

415
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: They just think. They don't want to rock the boat.

416
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 4: They're just happy to get it.

417
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 3: Ribe. I don't want to negotiate. I want to make

418
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 3: things weird. So just yeah, yeah, yeah, that's fine, that's fine.

419
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 3: He doesn't subscribe to that. He wants nearly ten million dollars,

420
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 3: making him, of course, the largest, be the largest offer

421
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: for a kicker in the NFL history.

422
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 4: He kicking sixty yarders would ease though ten mil you

423
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,359
Speaker 4: paying them ten meal? I am.

424
00:19:55,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this right here. I think kickers are

425
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 1: more valuable than running backs. I'm not saying you don't

426
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: need a running back, because you know, I'm into the

427
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: running back thing. Yeah, but in this NFL, now, this

428
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: ain't this ain't twenty years ago. Will you be lucky

429
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: to get somebody to kick a fifty yarder?

430
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: Right?

431
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: Guys would kicking sixty yard field goals now with regularity.

432
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 3: That's getting weird. These guys are making sixties. Would used

433
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 3: to be like, oh my gosh, stop the world, this

434
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,320
Speaker 3: guy just made the sixties sixty one yard or something

435
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 3: if there's five seconds before you know, a halftime, thank you,

436
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 3: they're kicking these sixty seven yarders, like, hey, we might

437
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: actually have a shot at this. Just to just to

438
00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 3: add some context to what he's been able to do,

439
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 3: he's one hundred and twenty six out of one to

440
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 3: thirty on extra points. He's been a three time pro bowler,

441
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty seven one hundred and twelve of

442
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty seven field goals, which puts him

443
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 3: at eighty eight point two percent. And he's thirty six.

444
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,480
Speaker 3: Here's where his here if you're his agent, here's where

445
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,639
Speaker 3: the money comes in. Rob He's thirty six of forty

446
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 3: two of fifty plus. That's where the money's gonna come in.

447
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 3: If you're saying, hey man, fifty plus is pretty much

448
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 3: still automatic for me, you know, and even made a

449
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: bunch of sixty yarders. So we've seen what do we

450
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: say about a handful of teams this year? Special teams

451
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 3: cost the Rams a handful of games. Special teams that

452
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:23,440
Speaker 3: cost a few teams throughout the season, whether they're miskicks

453
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 3: or not getting them off right. So it's become very important,

454
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 3: very valuable. So I'm not mad at them. Go get

455
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:30,280
Speaker 3: your money, young man, if you can, if you can

456
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,359
Speaker 3: get it. And then we see in the.

457
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 4: Super Bowl five field goals right by the kicker, Seahawk.

458
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: He should have won it.

459
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 4: It should have been the MVP. They gave it to

460
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 4: a running back.

461
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: W didn't score many points.

462
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 4: He had fifteen points to running back at nothing. Yeah,

463
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 4: that was disrespectful.

464
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying obviously I'm at running backs as well,

465
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: a bump that if I'm a kicker, we going on strike.

466
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 1: But kickers are very very important. Then ten million year though. Yeah,

467
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: if you have a guy making those kind of doing

468
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: those kind of things for you, you need a kicker.

469
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: You need a really really good kicker because they can

470
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: win games. You talked about it before the end of

471
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: the end of the first halftime. How many times you

472
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 1: see it? Like most games, you think the game is over,

473
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: they always come back and kick a field goal to

474
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: tie the game, to put it out.

475
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 4: I'll give you a game. So we saw when Josh

476
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: Allen turned it over. That was huge.

477
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 3: Remember then they got those three points, the Broncos got

478
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 3: the three Well, yes, Shay.

479
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 5: So let me ask you guys, this is the kicker

480
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 5: position more important than the running back position today's NFL.

481
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 4: No, not to me.

482
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: I think it's it's it's it's no, because if I

483
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 3: got Deeric Henry or Chritian McCaffrey were talking a whole

484
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 3: different level, Yeah, it would.

485
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: Be right, But I'm talking about there's only a handful

486
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: of those guys. And if I could have a kicker

487
00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: who can give me a field goal of sixty seventy,

488
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: sixty two yards or whatever to give me points at

489
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the end of the half and tie the game in

490
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: the final, you know, like you only need to move

491
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: the ball now.

492
00:22:57,920 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 4: Thirty yards forty yards.

493
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: You get to, you know, a kicker sixty yards sixty

494
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: three yarder and tie the game going to overtime. That's

495
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 1: that's invaluable. A really good kicker, That's what I'm talking about,

496
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 1: Like krem Dillas Brady, Tom Bradley, Brady wouldn't.

497
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,120
Speaker 4: Be Tom Brady without an Adam Vennittteria.

498
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 1: How many Super Bowls?

499
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:16,879
Speaker 7: Right?

500
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,240
Speaker 1: What ended on Adam Viniterry kicking a field goal? Had

501
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: he missed three in them, you wouldn't even be mentioning

502
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady.

503
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he might have one or two, but it there'd

504
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: be a whole different story.

505
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:26,320
Speaker 1: Kickers are.

506
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 3: Kickers are definitely poorant. The kickers are like offensive lineman shade.

507
00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 3: You don't think about them till they start missing. You

508
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 3: got a guy who misses extra points? How many times

509
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 3: that come back to buy the team extra point early

510
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 3: in the game. Now you're chasing points to go the

511
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: rest of the game. They're like offensive line. You want

512
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 3: him to just make the field goals. He's supposed to

513
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,920
Speaker 3: make the extra points and we don't even have to

514
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,880
Speaker 3: talk about him, like an offensive line and I want

515
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 3: you to block your man so I don't have to

516
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 3: talk about who keep starting somebody getting in here. He'd

517
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 3: be like, oh, that is the left tackle is letting

518
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 3: everybody in. So kickers are, They're definitely valuable. But I still,

519
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 3: I mean, there's obviously there's a pecking order, but I

520
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,879
Speaker 3: do think it depends on the construct of your team. Like,

521
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 3: for instance, the Cowboys, we'll figure out what they're gonna

522
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 3: do with pickins, but they already have offensive weapons kind

523
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 3: of around.

524
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 4: So if you're like, all right, that guy keeps.

525
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:14,240
Speaker 3: Us offensively and they just pay their running back, Yeah,

526
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 3: that's a whole different thing. There's other teams they got

527
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 3: a lot of the pieces they need and the ten

528
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 3: million we could that could be spread around.

529
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 4: That could be a dB, that could be a linebacker.

530
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 4: We need that.

531
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 3: So I think it depends on the construct of your

532
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,399
Speaker 3: team as well. But hey, I'm not mad at him

533
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: trying to get what he's worth at all, so good

534
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 3: for him. All right, all the way you tie reck

535
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: play of the day and plus you got it. There

536
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 3: were some questions we're talking about the combine for a

Speaker 1: might be a freshman or you know what I mean. Still,

599
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 1: you know you're trying to feel your way around. You know,

600
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: you're not that confident. You know, people are saying stuff

601
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: to you. You know, you're like, oh, I don't want

602

Speaker 4: Well, listen, but that's all right, listen.

625
00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,120

Speaker 4: I'm healthy.

Speaker 4: Meanwhile you're drews snotting, sneezing.

Speaker 1: I don't have a fever.

645
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,479
Speaker 3: That's his only if I have a fever, as if

646
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: there's not a million other things. By the way, real quick,

647
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: I was reading off the list of the stuff in

648
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 3: the questions, some of the questions they get at the

649
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:22,400
Speaker 3: combine you, my friend fifty two years as a reporter,

650
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 3: added a few what what's crazy thing you've asked, when

651
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 3: you were in your combine mode, what did you ask?

652
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 4: Well, it was probably at a press conference.

653
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: I've asked some really tough questions, some intriguing questions, like

654
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 1: what probably the Rod Marinelli question, Oh, coach of the Lions.

655
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: That's when they went on in sixteen and they had

656
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 1: a terrible game. Uh and they lost. The Saints scored

657
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 1: on every offensive possession except the final one because they

658
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: kneeled down. Time was running out, like like, that was

659
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 1: so bad. And Rod's son in law was the defensive coordinator.

660
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: Just a terrible performance that made them own fifteen. And

661
00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: so after the whole press conference, you know, all these

662
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,520
Speaker 1: questions or whatever, at the end, I was looking for

663
00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 1: a cute quote from my column, so I said, hey, Rod,

664
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 1: on a lighter note, do you wish your daughter would

665
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: have married a better looking defensive coordinator? A better defensive coordinator?

666
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: All hell broke loose after that. Bradshaw and them went

667
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: off on me on the Fox on They show, and

668
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:28,680
Speaker 1: it was crazy.

669
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 3: I'm shocked. You're lucky he couldn't get out the blocks

670
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 3: as fast.

671
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 4: As he used to.

672
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:36,280
Speaker 3: You think he would what I'm just saying, you know,

673
00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 3: if he could get a swing on me. He couldn't

674
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:41,479
Speaker 3: get out the blox. You know, he the steps one

675
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 3: really in order. At that particular, I was.

676
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: Best described Rod Marinelli as a gym teacher. That's that's

677
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: what I would say.

678
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 4: But anyway, that was in the past.

679
00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 3: Now, like if y'alls next year's Super Bowl he comes

680
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,520
Speaker 3: to LA having to be an elevator, just y'all too.

681
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 4: I'll swing on him if I saw.

682
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 1: I don't care how hopefully.

683
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 5: You're two eighty at that at that point.

684
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, kid on another for you know, I don't

685
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 1: I don't choose violence. I swing on him.

686
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 4: I'm just that's true.

687
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 5: Even though you asked h about no athletes ever tried

688
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 5: fighting you or anything for something You've said like, no,

689
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 5: you've never had a situation.

690
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, of course they never swung on me.

691
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 5: But they stepped to me like with like you're like, oh,

692
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:25,480
Speaker 5: I might get swung on right now.

693
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 4: You know they Lebron did as Stephen A. Smith.

694
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 7: You.

695
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:31,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I got Walter Barry when he was with the

696
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: New Jersey Nets. He played for Saint John. He was

697
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: mad at a story that I wrote and Mike McGee

698
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 1: was on the team and he was This was in

699
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:43,040

Speaker 4: I was rich.

730
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 3: Paul Onbalco, I was what They had a couple other ones,

731
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:54,360

00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 4: You was like Friday, Craig. On Friday, you got fired

734
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 4: in your day off.

735
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. All right, So coming up, we got Adam Kaplan

736
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 3: and add about twenty minutes or so. But speaking of

737
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: Adam Kaplan and football, there's, of course, teams are figuring

738
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: out what they're gonna do with their salaryf teams are

739
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: figuring out what they're gona with their rosters, and the

740
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 3: franchise tag is one of those things going around right now.

741
00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 3: And one guy in particular, because he had an outstanding

742
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,680
Speaker 3: the best season of his career, really saw the best

743
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 3: version of him. Fourteen hundred and twenty nine yards ninety

744
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:31,240
Speaker 3: three catches, all career highs. That is George Pickens for

745
00:33:31,360 --> 00:33:34,120
Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys. And so right now, slim Pickens. No,

746
00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 3: slim Pickens. If he were to give they go ahead

747
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,760
Speaker 3: and do it, which is all what the reports are.

748
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,280
Speaker 3: He's expected to get twenty eight million dollars because they

749
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 3: have to pay within the top five with the position.

750
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 3: So the conversation becomes, is he worth it? You already

751
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 3: have ceedee lamb. Obviously you know how great he is.

752
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 3: He missed a few games and still came back and

753
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 3: was dynamic. My thing is this, rob George Pickins played incredible.

754
00:33:53,800 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 3: He was fantastic for them. But one of a couple

755
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 3: of things I'm worried about. Number One, we see this

756
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: happen all the time. It happens big time. The NBA

757
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,960
Speaker 3: guys do whatever it takes to have that franchise, that

758
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:06,320
Speaker 3: that that free agent year ball out, get the money

759
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:07,840
Speaker 3: and are never quite the same again.

760
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: So is that George Piggins is he can?

761
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:11,799
Speaker 3: I trust him that he gets the bag and he's

762
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 3: gonna be the best version of himself showing up on time.

763
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,759
Speaker 3: Everything's locked in, the best most professional version. That's a

764
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 3: crap shoot. I don't think you really know. And that

765
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 3: so that's Martin my life. Hmm right, that's on my

766
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: list of concerns also followed by this. If I look

767
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: at Dallas last year, they were ranked second in the

768
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:32,120
Speaker 3: NFL with thirty nine three hundred ninety one point they'll

769
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 3: just call it three hundred ninety two yards a game.

770
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 3: Passing offense ranked second in the league as well. They

771
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 3: were ninth in rushing offense. They averaged twenty seven point

772
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,479
Speaker 3: seven points, which was seven. Offense is not my worry

773
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,200
Speaker 3: with them, right, They've been offensively explosive essentially the entire

774
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: tenure that they've had Dak Prescott.

775
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 4: Their concern is this.

776
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,960
Speaker 3: Ranked thirty second in total defense, allowing three hundred and

777
00:34:55,000 --> 00:34:58,160
Speaker 3: seventy seven yards a game, thirty second is scoring defense,

778
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 3: allowing thirty points a game, thirty second in pass defense,

779
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,399
Speaker 3: and they only took away zero point seven takeaways a game,

780
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 3: which was thirtieth. That's my concern. That's where I want

781
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 3: to spend some money. And I feel like, while George

782
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:15,000
Speaker 3: Pickens was great, I can get that. I can find

783
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 3: a receiver out there in free agent, I can draft one.

784
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,680
Speaker 3: It happens all the time. Some receiver we never you know,

785
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 3: we're not never heard of. But he's a third round picks.

786
00:35:22,200 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: Fourth round pick ends up getting you seven eight hundred

787
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 3: yards five touchdowns.

788
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,480
Speaker 4: Pair that with have a veteran free agent you pick up.

789
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:31,319
Speaker 3: I want to spread that money around on the defensive end,

790
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: because what the Dallas Cowboys are right now, they are

791
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: the NFC version of the Cincinnati Bengals. All the offensive prowess,

792
00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:43,000
Speaker 3: all the offensive weapons. Scoring is easy for them, but

793
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,320
Speaker 3: they can't stop anybody, and they lose close games, and

794
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 3: they lose games because of the offense. The defense hurts them.

795
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:50,719
Speaker 3: So really, that's for me what I'm looking at. I'm

796
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: looking at spreading that what that twenty eight million around.

797
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 3: George Pickens, I appreciate you, but you made a trade

798
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,600
Speaker 3: for him. You gave up picks. I'm just saying, and we.

799
00:35:57,640 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: Tried, gave it a shot, and and I hear you,

800
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: but I don't know if you if you're what are

801
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:04,759
Speaker 1: you saying? You're not going to just pay him and

802
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,920
Speaker 1: let him go? I mean, like, what, what's your alternative?

803
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,880
Speaker 1: The only other alternative is you know what I mean?

804
00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 3: Our teams we talked about before, Josh Allen type of team,

805
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,920
Speaker 3: a Drake May type of team, because you don't know

806
00:36:15,920 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen with Stevan Diggs, and we got that

807
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 3: whole court case going on. There are a couple, you know,

808
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 3: a handful of teams that he needs to find a

809
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 3: new girlfriend. Man, what she did, she jumped about the

810
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl A halftime. He'dn't invited the baby mama to

811
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,239
Speaker 3: come and sit in this section with the new baby

812
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 3: Mama and Cardi b and this it was just chaos.

813
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,120
Speaker 4: And everybody met Cardi.

814
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 3: He hasn't You saw what happened with the Minnesota Vikings

815
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 3: when he was there, right, They did a thing where

816
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:43,480
Speaker 3: they went around and asked all the players who was

817
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 3: the guy you would not want your sister to date? Everybody,

818
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:50,160
Speaker 3: said Stefan Diggs. So his reputation precedes him.

819
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:51,320
Speaker 4: I digress.

820
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 3: But there's a handful of teams, including the Patriots, that

821
00:36:53,480 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 3: could say, all right, if you signed him for twenty

822
00:36:55,320 --> 00:37:02,840
Speaker 3: eight million, maybe we you know, Patriots, Chargers, do we

823
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 3: go get a number one receiver for twenty eight mil,

824
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 3: four year and we don't have to worry about paying

825
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 3: him thirty five like other top receivers right now and

826
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 3: go for a four year Because if you're the you know,

827
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,040
Speaker 3: if you're the Bills and you have George Picks, what

828
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 3: is that?

829
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: But I'm saying, is it if they trade him, do

830
00:37:17,560 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: they have to commit more than that?

831
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 5: Is he just he?

832
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 1: No, they can trade to my knowledge, shake correct me

833
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: if I'm wrong.

834
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 4: Uh, and you can.

835
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: You sign up for the twenty eight he's your guy

836
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 3: for the season, and then you can trade and then

837
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: trade him and then now that other team will have

838
00:37:31,480 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: to deal with his free agency coming up at the

839
00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:34,800
Speaker 3: end of that season.

840
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: Which will be next season. With that, you know, you

841
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 1: can let him go or do you keep them? But

842
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,080
Speaker 1: that's just for me.

843
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 3: I'm looking at the Cowboys to finally get over the hump,

844
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 3: to finally become a real contender.

845
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:45,800
Speaker 4: You gotta have defense.

846
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 3: Patriots had a great offense and MVP candidate, but they

847
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 3: had very good defense. You look at obviously we know

848
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:53,200
Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks had a very good defensive.

849
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 4: Those defense.

850
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:58,120
Speaker 1: You know, you made a trade for him, he performed

851
00:37:58,160 --> 00:38:00,200
Speaker 1: for you, he did, he did, and then you say,

852
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:02,480
Speaker 1: now we don't want to pay you, like, like, you know, what,

853
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: what was the purpose? What did they trade for him for?

854
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 1: I thought we were ball out. No, but you got

855
00:38:06,719 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: to do other stuff and defensively, and I get it,

856
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: and maybe you don't need two star receivers at that money.

857
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 1: But that's what the Bengals did, and you just mentioned them,

858
00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm looking at.

859
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 4: That's my star and that's and then you question that.

860
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,080
Speaker 1: I just wonder about when a guy performs, does what

861
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: he's supposed to do, keeps his nose clean, and.

862
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 4: And nobody wants them, Like it's kind of weird to me. No,

863
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:29,479
Speaker 4: they want him, they.

864
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 3: Just don't want to pay him thirty Well, but that's

865
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 3: thirty's that's the mart because basically top receiver money is

866
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:37,600
Speaker 3: thirty two three four five million dollars and they like,

867
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 3: do you mention they don't want to have to pay him?

868
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: Be paying CD already he got his money. That crazy

869
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,640
Speaker 1: that contract, that got crazy money. Yeah, I'm trying to

870
00:38:45,640 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 1: pay my kicker who wants ten million. Know, there's a

871
00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 1: lot going on. So that's where the conversation becomes. You know,

872
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,319
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong. We can throw that out there eight

873
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:55,359
Speaker 1: seven seven ninety nine one fox. Maybe I'm wrong.

874
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:56,640
Speaker 4: What so you're saying.

875
00:38:56,760 --> 00:38:59,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying, man, you performed, We thank you, but you

876
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: don't want pickings back? How the Cowboys do you want

877
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:06,479
Speaker 1: pickings back? What would you do in this situation eight seven,

878
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox, Or would you say, man,

879
00:39:09,600 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 1: we got one of the two best receivers, we pile

880
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,640
Speaker 1: up yards and numbers, we can outscore teams. Maybe maybe

881
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: we don't have enough to really you've traded away Michael Parsons, right,

882
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,919
Speaker 1: and maybe that's where you want to do it. Maybe

883
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 1: it's like we're gonna be We're gonna outscore you and

884
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: hopefully that our defense can make a play every once

885
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 1: in a while, and we really can't rebuild it because

886
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,919
Speaker 1: of the money that they've poured into their offense. Eight seven,

887
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: seven ninety nine on Fox. We want to hear from you,

888
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: what would you do if you're the Cowboys with pickens?

889
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,800
Speaker 1: And remember it's see odd couple. Will we give you

890
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:47,560
Speaker 1: insight not noise? Right here on Fox Sports Radio, Stick

891
