1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: The volume.

2
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up

3
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: straight FIREFAMP. It's me Jason McIntyre, Straight Fire for Tuesday,

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: March fifth, and what did you know? We got massive, huge,

5
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 2: enormous seismic NFL news. To start the pod, obviously we'll

6
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: get to the crazy night in the NBA, but we

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: have to start with Russell Wilson getting the acts from

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: the Denver Broncos. It broke Monday, Monday afternoon. You know

9
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 2: one of those deals where you're in your car driving

10
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 2: and your phone just keeps buzzing bing bing ban. You're like,

11
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: what the hell's going on? Russell Wilson cut. The Broncos

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: will now swallow the biggest cap dead money cap hit

13
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 2: in NFL history. I believe eighty five million dollars. They

14
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: would rather dump Russell Wilson and take the cap hit

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 2: then try to make it work. Man, this sounds like

16
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: one of the most expensive divorces in NFL history. And listen,

17
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna sit here and try to break down

18
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: the Russell Wilson stats in Denver. Other guys will try

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: to make an argument that he was worth it and

20
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 2: he was okay. Bottom line, They weren't good enough and

21
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 2: he was overpaid due to the contract given to him

22
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: by the GM before Sean Payton got there. And obviously

23
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson has had a great career. I think people

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: will argue he's not a Hall of Famer. I think

25
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 2: you get to two Super Bowls nearly win both of them.

26
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 2: Obviously the interception there was a killer on the goal line,

27
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: but Russell Wilson not quite the guy he used to be. Still,

28
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: Denver desperate for a quarterback, right they had nobody there

29
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: since Peyton Manning. They gave Russ a five year, two

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: hundred and forty two million dollar deal when he got there,

31
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: and essentially he was benched for the final two games

32
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: this year. Eleven nineteen two seasons not great with Denver,

33
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: and that dead money hit is going to be enormous

34
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 2: now the positive side for Broncos fans right out the gate.

35
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: Last year, the Green Bay Packers had have the I

36
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 2: think I have the exact number, forty million dollar dead

37
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 2: cap money for Aaron Rodgers. They made the playoffs. Now,

38
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: they did have Jordan Love waiting in the wings, and

39
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: they had to get to the playoffs late in the season.

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: That being said, it can be done. Now, obviously you're

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: talking about double the dead cap money from Aaron Rodgers,

42
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: and you know, what do you do with Denver? I

43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 2: actually think finding a landing spot for Russell Wilson is

44
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: a little more interesting. I think the Broncos probably draft somebody.

45
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: I don't think they can trade up. Maybe they trade

46
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 2: down and get their guy bo Nicks. I don't think

47
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: bo Nicks is, you know, a top fifteen pick. But

48
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: I think the Russell Wilson situation, where does he land?

49
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Is he washed? Is it over? And you guys know,

50
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,360
Speaker 2: producer Rob is a big Raiders fan, and the Raiders

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: are going to be right near the top of this list.

52
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: According to the athlete, the Pittsburgh Steelers have zero interest

53
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 2: in Russell Wilson. Now, I forget who it was. Was

54
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: it Ocho Sinko? Somebody said recently that Russ makes sense

55
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh. I don't totally see it. You know, he's

56
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 2: thirty five years old, going to a defensive first team

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 2: and a tough division. It doesn't make sense to be

58
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 2: I want Russell Wilson to think about when Tom Brady

59
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 2: left the Patriots, what did he do? He sought out

60
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: a you know a team with a decent shell around

61
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 2: it who was in need of a quarterback. He sought

62
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 2: out a team in a weak division and instantly they're

63
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: in the mix as contenders and they're going to win

64
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl in Brady's first year. Where can Russell

65
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 2: Wilson get that? Well, he ain't getting it from the Raiders.

66
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, you're not dethroning the Chiefs. And I think

67
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: the Chargers are better with Jim Harbaugh. A lot of

68
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: people are going to point to atl in Atlanta, and

69
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a bad fit at all. The

70
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: Falcons have some pieces in place, right. They've got some

71
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: young skill position guys. You know Raheem Morris, say what

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 2: you want, you know, a defensive guy from the Rams.

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: We'll see how the offense works. I'm not overly optimistic.

74
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: I think the skill position players maybe are a little overvalued.

75
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 2: Like Drake London I like, but we don't know if

76
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: he's a one yet. Kyle Pitts has been an immense disappointment.

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: B Jon Robinson looks really good. But we'll see Falcons defense, eh.

78
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 2: I think the landing spot for Russell Wilson right now,

79
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 2: that makes the most sense is the Minnesota Vikings. And

80
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: I know Minnesota loves Kirk Cousins and they're clamoring for

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 2: him to come back. He's coming off in Achilles. He's

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 2: probably gonna cost you in the neighborhood of forty million

83
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 2: a year. Okay, last year with the ultimate after Cousins

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: went down, Kevin O'Connell, who I do think is one

85
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: of the sharper offensive mines in the league, went to

86
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: bat with this poo poo platter at quarterback the Pastrodaut,

87
00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullins, and Jaren Hall, and they went

88
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 2: seven to ten after Cousins went down. Kevin O'Connell knows offense. Now,

89
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: if you want to get really excited Minnesota Vikings fans,

90
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: riddle me this, how do you keep Justin Jefferson. He

91
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,560
Speaker 2: wants to get paid and paying a wide receiver, making

92
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 2: the highest paid got a receiver at the position. That's tough. Well,

93
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,720
Speaker 2: you could have a rookie quarterback? Oh great, Well, too bad,

94
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: the Vikings don't have a top ten pack. You could

95
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: trade up, then trade Jefferson, but then you don't have Jefferson.

96
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: How about the best of both worlds? Russ the Broncos

97
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: paid you to GTFO as my kid likes to say, well,

98
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: he doesn't say that to me. Sometimes he doesn't. We

99
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: get an arguments. The Broncos paid you to get out

100
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 2: of town. You got paid. Hey, Russ, why don't you

101
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: come here? Take a minimum deal. We get to pay

102
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 2: justin Jefferson. You will have the best receiver you've ever had.

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: No disrespect to DK metcalf or Locket or Jerry Judy

104
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: will give you just Jefferson and Jordan Addison. You get

105
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: a great tight end. And oh, by the way, all

106
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: the money were saving on you, we can replenish the defense.

107
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, before you ask, offensive line spoty,

108
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: not really, they just had injuries last year. Darrisawl was

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,120
Speaker 2: incredible and Brian O'Neill was excellent. The only problem is

110
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: they were only on the field together for twelve games.

111
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: Bradbury did pretty good at center. The interior offensive line

112
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 2: of Riisner and Ingram, according to Pro Football Focus, not

113
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: great they were. The offensive line was not great late

114
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: in the season. Some of that has to do with

115
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: the quarterbacks and not releasing the ballgame quick enough. But

116
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, guys, Darris al is one of the

117
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: better left tackles in the league. He was excellent in

118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and he was very very good in

119
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Offensive line, good coach, offensive mind, awesome,

120
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: wide receivers, excellent, tight end excellent. Tell me, Rob Gi,

121
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: why doesn't Russell Wilson say, I will go to Minnesota

122
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 2: work with an offensive coach, and oh, by the way,

123
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: I get to play indoors. Oh yeah, I get to

124
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: play indoors in Minnesota. Now, obviously you have to go

125
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: outdoors to Green Bay, you have to go outdoors to Chicago.

126
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: But the final peg to this, Rob ranked the quarterbacks

127
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 2: for me in the NFC NFC North. Here they are.

128
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,880
Speaker 2: Let Rob go first. I know he's salary wants, he

129
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: wants russ and with the Raiders, but Jared Goff, Jordan

130
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: Love would just for now, we'll say Caleb Williams and

131
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson ranked those four for me heading in the

132
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: next season.

133
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, h love GoF Wilson Williams.

134
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 2: Whoa you have love first?

135
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: I mean he looked really, really good in the second

136
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: half of the season.

137
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 2: He had had second and half of a seedon said

138
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: entering next season. Who do you want me to do.

139
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: If I'm gonna say career body of work, then it

140
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: would be uh Goff, Wilson, Love and Williams Golf over us.

141
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: Jared Goff has been really really good for a while now.

142
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: Like he won a Super Bowl?

143
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 1: I forgot he did not? He made they scored three points.

144
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 2: Did Russ win a super Bowl?

145
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: He did win a super Bowl? Yeah, the DF he

146
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: blew another one. Let's not talk about that one.

147
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: I don't know, Ruff, I'm surprised you. Like, listen, if

148
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 2: you're giving Jordan Love to not in eight games over

149
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson like a ten year body of work, Like

150
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm more confident Russ versus Jared go

151
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: Jordan Love. Like, Jared Goff is what he is. He's

152
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 2: got a great offensive coordinator who by the way, I think, listen,

153
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: Jared Goff has been with McVeigh and Ben Johnson, and

154
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: I know Ben Johnson, who was he? Jason? Come on,

155
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 2: He's proven He's definitely something I don't know. I think

156
00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: Russ could make a strong case. He's got like an

157
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: argument to be the best quarterback in the division next year.

158
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's not totally out of the possibility.

159
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: I mean, last season, everybody's been ripping on Russ. They

160
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: said that he's been terrible, he's been washing, YadA, YadA, YadA.

161
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: He wasn't bad at all last season. Sixty six percent completion,

162
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: just over three thousand yards. I know the yard age

163
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: to have a little bit more. Only two undred and

164
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: five a game, but twenty six touchdowns, eight picks, passer

165
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: rating of ninety eight. You can win a lot of

166
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: football games with Russell Wilson as your quarterback. The only problem, though,

167
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: I have with the Minnesota situation, and I'm friendly annoyed

168
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:16,839
Speaker 1: with you that you came up with that, because I

169
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: didn't think of Minnesota at all when we were talking

170
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 1: about this. I was just thinking, Hey, it's gonna be

171
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: the Raiders who often needs a starting quarterback that's gonna

172
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: be available, YadA, YadA, YadA. And then you hit me

173
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: with the well, who would you rather have Kirk Cousins

174
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: at age sixty seven coming off in Achilles for forty

175
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: plus million dollars a year or Russell Wilson for a minimum?

176
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: And it's like, well, shit, if you're gonna put it

177
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: to me like that, I'd probably rather have Russell Wilson.

178
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: But the only caveat I have with the Minnesota Vikings

179
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: is I don't know if their defense would be good

180
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: enough to withstand a Russell Wilson type offense, because the

181
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: biggest issue that we saw with Russ and Denver between

182
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: him and Sean Payton was Sean Payton likes his quarterbacking

183
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: done a certain way. It's on time, on target, run.

184
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 1: The play that I call my play is always gonna work.

185
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 1: Just do it. It's very similar to what you get

186
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: from Kyle Shanahan. Kyle Shanahan. One of the reasons why

187
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 1: Rock Purdy and Jimmy Garoppolo, guys who don't have as

188
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: much talent raw talent as other guys, work is that

189
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: they are high functioning, high IQ passers. They are gonna

190
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 1: get the play in, know where their one, two, three

191
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: guys are, and they're gonna dial it up to those

192
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 1: three guys. Not gonna try to make something out of

193
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: nothing too often. They're not gonna try to go off

194
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: script too often. They're gonna run and orchestrate the offense

195
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: as designed. Russell Wilson does not play like that. Russell

196
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,439
Speaker 1: Wilson plays a lot of backyard football Russell Wilson like

197
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 1: the hold on to the ball, as evidence by him

198
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: getting sacked forty five times last year in Denver. I

199
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: believe that the Vikings offense, while not totally mirroring Denvers,

200
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: is very similar in that O'Connell runs a system that

201
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: he likes. It's why ever, from that tree loves Kirk Cousins.

202
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins is the prototype of what you look for

203
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 1: in that kind of a system. One two three bang,

204
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: play action one two three four five bang. And if

205
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 1: you're gonna have Russell Wilson in that system where it's

206
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: not quite on time, on target all the time, where

207
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: he is going to be taking zactly if he's not

208
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: turning the ball over, then you need the defense to

209
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: be stout enough to withstand that. And as far as

210
00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:33,199
Speaker 1: I know, their defensive coordinator is still there well Flores

211
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: Flores yes, and Flores likes to dial up a lot

212
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: of pressure looks, which means that your big risk, big

213
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: reward when he gets home. Great, when he doesn't, you

214
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: leave yourself viable for a forty yard over the top

215
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: touchdown pass. So that's my only concern about that marriage.

216
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: But all in all of the landscape that's available. I'd

217
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: have to agree with you. I think Minnesota would be

218
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: the best landing spot for Russell.

219
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 2: Will's a w I'm looking at their defense on Pro

220
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: Football Focus. Holy cal, a lot of guys. I've never

221
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: heard of a lot of second third year guys in

222
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 2: the secondary. Yeah, they were not a good defense last year.

223
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 2: That being said, the potential now, we don't know that

224
00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: Russ is willing to take a minimum, but the potential

225
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: is there to go out and spend on defense. Like, listen,

226
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: I don't know that the Vikings are going to the

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 2: super Bowl. But but if you're telling me Russ is

228
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 2: taking a minimum minimum deal whatever the NFL minimum is, peanuts,

229
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 2: Oh shucks. We now have a shit ton of cap broom.

230
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 2: Hey you know what, Hey, what don't we should we

231
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: just throw our hat in the ring for I don't know,

232
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: Lugerious Sneed or Chris Jones? Should we do that? Like?

233
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 2: Why not? Hey? What would you like Brian Flores to

234
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 2: dial up the defense? Offense? We're gonna be good. You know.

235
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 2: We got Hawkinson coming back. Hawkinson was awesome. He was

236
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 2: worth the draft pick that they traded up. Addison excellent.

237
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 2: Justin Jefferson we don't know what we're doing a running back.

238
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: You know what, it doesn't matter. We just plug in. Anybody.

239
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 2: Remember late in the season they plugged in with ty

240
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 2: Chandler and he had some bounce, like they got some

241
00:12:57,240 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 2: options all of a sudden. I like Minnesota. Now they

242
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: got the first, they got a first round pick, second

243
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 2: round pick No. Third because of the Hawkins deal, two

244
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 2: in the fourth, two in the fifth, two in the sixth.

245
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 2: I I think I think Minnesota makes sense. Now. Obviously,

246
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson's gonna have to want to move to Minnesota

247
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,280
Speaker 2: with his with his wife Siara, who is famous Sierra

248
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 2: or Ciarra, which one is said, I thought it was

249
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: Sierra Siera. You're probably right. I'm but bad with some

250
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 2: of these names. She will probably say, I could get

251
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: on the Real Housewives of Atlanta. Let's go to the Falcons.

252
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 2: And obviously she's famous and attractive and a singer, and

253
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: I think Atlanta it would be it would be an

254
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 2: awesome fit. I don't know if Minnesota would be excited

255
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 2: for Russell Wilson. They do love Kirk Cousins, right, they

256
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 2: love him. I don't know. Do you think the Raiders

257
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: even really get in the discussion or is it Minnesota Atlanta.

258
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 2: I just think thing in the AFC is suicide, not suicide,

259
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 2: but it's a little silly. Rob AFC is so freaking.

260
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: Stacked, that's sup ridiculously stacked.

261
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,719
Speaker 2: And there's definitely ten quarterbacks better than run. Definitely ten

262
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 2: in the AFC. Like you go to the NFC, like

263
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,760
Speaker 2: you could be top seven to eight.

264
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, the NFC is definitely not as deep as the AFC.

265
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:11,680
Speaker 1: And as far as like I said before we started recording,

266
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: my thought was Raiders, Raiders, and it was the reason

267
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 1: was twofold, one of them you alluded to his wife

268
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: and him famously pitched the reality TV show as soon

269
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: as they got to Denver, and ultimately nobody picked it

270
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: up because they didn't think they were that interesting or

271
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 1: what have you. But if he goes to a C

272
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: you mentioned Atlanta, you know, there's the Real Housewives angle,

273
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: But if you go to Vegas, suddenly she has a

274
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: residency at like Planet immediately, right immediately, she don't even

275
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 1: got to sell any tickets, and she has a residency

276
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: at whatever hotel that you want to choose from. And

277
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: the other reason, to me, the football reason is it's

278
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,000
Speaker 1: no secret the Raiders want to move up in the

279
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: drafting at James Daniels. The Arizona State connection between him

280
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: and Antonio Piers is well documented. Almost every NFL reporter

281
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: has suggested, if not out flat out said, the Raider

282
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: can do everything in their power to trade up to

283
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 1: get Jane Daniels. The problem is who in that top

284
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,880
Speaker 1: three to five is going to be willing to trade

285
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: down with the Raiders, barring them giving up three first

286
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 1: round picks. To me, would just be crazy for a

287
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: guy I like Jane Daniels, but not that much. If

288
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: it's Kayler will, sure, but not that much. So if

289
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: if you're the Raid, what pick do the Raiders have?

290
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: I believe they have pick number thirteen?

291
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:29,960
Speaker 2: Okay, hey, Washington, do you want Max Crosby and some others,

292
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: you know whatever else? And Washington will come up or

293
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: New England. No, New England's probably more likely. New England

294
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 2: will come up to three to get Jade Daniels, and

295
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 2: you know we'll give you Max Crosby. You know. Defensive

296
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: coach Jared Mayo obviously be geeked about that. They've got

297
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: some good defensive players. You guys could just figure out

298
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 2: quarterback later. I know there's a report they're going to

299
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 2: go after Baker Mayfield. I don't buy that. We'll talk

300
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: about that in a second. But do you think would

301
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 2: you trade Max Crosby?

302
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 1: No, I would not. I would trade Dvante Adams before

303
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I would trade Max Crosby. Oh damn. And I like

304
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: Devonte Adams a lot. But the thing is that the

305
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: Raiders have one good defensive player. His name was Max Crosby.

306
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: The last time we had one defensive player and we

307
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,920
Speaker 1: traded him was Khalil Mack. Did not work out too

308
00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: well for the Silver and Black, right, So don't I

309
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,440
Speaker 1: don't think you would do something like that again. So

310
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,840
Speaker 1: under the assumption that the Raiders cannot trade up to

311
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: get one of their guys, in this case Jayden Daniels,

312
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: then it would make a whole heck of a lot

313
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: of sense to take Russell Wilson on the cheap and

314
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: either target someone later in the draft. I know, you know,

315
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: Pennick supposedly might be there in the second round. There's

316
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,760
Speaker 1: some scouts who are really high on Spencer Rattler and

317
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Speaker 1: his trades. The kid out of ten.

318
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 2: Hold on Spencer rat that's the name I haven't heard

319
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 2: in two years. He was like the number one. Remember

320
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: he was like gonna win the high spind He was

321
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:52,680
Speaker 2: the guy number one projected pick and then it just

322
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 2: did it never happened. He went to South Carolina and

323
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 2: was like up and down. They're talking about Raiders in

324
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 2: Spencer Rattler.

325
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 1: No, I mean, nobody linking the Raiders with them. But

326
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: there's several, you know, anonymous NFL scouts season right, several

327
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: anonymous scouts that were saying that he was the best

328
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: quarterback at the Senior Bowl and that all of the

329
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: traits that's the keyword. The traits that they liked about

330
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: him in Oklahoma and him coming up and why he

331
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:17,840
Speaker 1: wants to protect the number one pick are still there.

332
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 1: It just hasn't materialized yet. So you might be able

333
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: to get him on it with a Day three pick,

334
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, something like that, and you kind of you

335
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 1: play the lottery with him. So if you're gonna do

336
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 1: that or something like that, it would make sense why

337
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 1: you would get Russell Wilson. To your point, though, is

338
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson making a difference with the Raiders in the AFC?

339
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 1: Probably not. Is he doing anything but putting a band

340
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: aid on a fucking torn acl No, he's not. Like,

341
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: there's nothing that would really make you feel good about

342
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback position with the Raiders. I just thought it

343
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: was a process of elimination type thing. And that's why

344
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: I'm so mad that you can up with the Vikings.

345
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:56,560
Speaker 1: It was right there the whole time, and only you

346
00:17:56,560 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: saw it.

347
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: I just I feel like you're being a show on

348
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 2: your Raiders defense. So I just looked it up on PFF.

349
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: The linebacker Spalane, I think he came over from Pittsburgh.

350
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: He was excellent last year, graded out as his seventeenth

351
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: best inside linebacker in the league. The kid Jack Jones,

352
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 2: As long as he stays out of handcuffs, he is awesome.

353
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 2: Uh and maybe maybe you're maybe Antonio Pearce can rain

354
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 2: him in. And then Koontz the other defensive end opposite Crossby,

355
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 2: he had a damn good year. I didn't realize how

356
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,160
Speaker 2: good he created out very high. So they got some dudes.

357
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 2: I'll say one thing you have on you know, backing

358
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: the russ Hey, we've got a better offensive line than

359
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. Colton Miller's excellent. The center was good,

360
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,760
Speaker 2: Van Ruten like they got guys Jacoby Myers on the outside,

361
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 2: Like I don't. If you keep Adams and Myers, that's

362
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: not like that's maybe equal to Justin Jefferson and Jordan Adison. No,

363
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 2: I mean, Jacoby Myers is awesome, He's very good.

364
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: I mean, I would probably lean Minnesota because I like,

365
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,000
Speaker 1: I really like Jordan Addison. But it's close. It's it's there,

366
00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:58,440
Speaker 1: you know, right there, not too far.

367
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 2: But but again, like you said, it's like, oh, okay,

368
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: great and you get to go up against Justin Herbert

369
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 2: and Jim rbro twice and Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes

370
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: Like I just I don't know. And if you're pierced,

371
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 2: it's probably smarter for you. Well, actually, what do you

372
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: think it is to take a flyer on a free

373
00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,719
Speaker 2: agent and let's say it doesn't work out in two

374
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: years or you're getting fired, or to draft a guy

375
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:23,360
Speaker 2: and that gives you more more runway to keep your job.

376
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 2: Like I know, that's not a good way to think

377
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 2: about it, but I'm sorry, that's how the guys think. Like,

378
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,919
Speaker 2: how about this, We draft a quarterback and we make

379
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 2: a play for you know, Desmond or whoever. If Antonio

380
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: Pierce is looking at Staying, and I'm sure he is.

381
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: He's finally got a head coaching job. You've got to

382
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,199
Speaker 2: factor that in.

383
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: No, Yeah, one thousand percent. And I think that's the

384
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: primary reason why, or one of the biggest reasons why,

385
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears are gonna take Caleb Williams, even though

386
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: all of their players in the locker room, everyone in

387
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 1: the city, all the beat writers around the team are saying,

388
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 1: stick with Justin Field, stick with Justin Fields. He's shown

389
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 1: you enough. And No, the reality is is the front office,

390
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 1: the head coach, the offensive coordinator, anybody tied to the quarterback.

391
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: If their runway was two years, suddenly it's four if

392
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: you have a rookie quarterback. Antonio Piers is a rookie

393
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: quarter rookie coach. They didn't even really have a real

394
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 1: the Raiders did. They didn't really have a real coaching search.

395
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: They never even spoke to Jim Harbaugh as far as

396
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I know, even though he has Raider ties as well.

397
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Max Crosby basically threatened them to hire Antonio Pierce or

398
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: he was going to demand a trade. So they buckled

399
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:36,520
Speaker 1: and they stuck with Antonio Piers. Antonio Piers since then

400
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: has been very underwhelming with his coordinator hires, very underwhelming

401
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: with some of the moves that they've made. And if

402
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:50,479
Speaker 1: you get a young quarterback, then all of the inconsistencies,

403
00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: the learning on you as you go as a head coach,

404
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: making the mistakes, not calling a time out at the

405
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: right time, nobving your guys quite prepared for a game.

406
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,119
Speaker 1: That kind of gets swept under the rug because all

407
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: anyone cares about is how's the quarterback doing?

408
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really all that matters, all right, So first

409
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 2: big name. Now they had to do this before the

410
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 2: league calendar starts or whatever it's called on Wednesday. So

411
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 2: I would assume we'll see some other maybe big names

412
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 2: dropping cap casualties. As they say, we'll get back to

413
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,320

435
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 2: run long on Russell Wilson, and we have a great,

436
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 2: great NBA guest tomorrow locked in. He played in the league.

437
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 2: He played at a big time acc school. Very excited

438
00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: for that talk. But I'll just be quick and I

439
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 2: want to focus on what happened with the Paperclips and

440
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 2: the Bucks. I'm not going to touch on Lakers thunder.

441
00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 2: You know you could already tell my take regards Wardless

442
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 2: before the game. Okay, see wins, well yeah, obviously, okay,

443
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 2: s He's wins. They're better than the regular season. Prove

444
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,520
Speaker 2: it in the playoffs, Lakers win. Eh see, okay, see's

445
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: nothing special. But the world interesting game was paper Clips Bucks.

446
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: So Jannis gets ruled out. The line swings like I

447
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: think like eight points. Clippers come out the gate strong

448
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: as hell, and then they did what the Clippers do.

449
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: They stop playing and they get dump trucked in the

450
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: fourth quarter on the road and lose to the Bucks

451
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 2: that did not have Giannis. Listen. This is why the

452
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 2: NBA is a fools Errand Okay, I did not bet

453
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: the paper Clips. I didn't see the honest news in time.

454
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,280
Speaker 2: We got some other stuff going on and I was occupied.

455
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 2: Yannis didn't play. The Clippers jump out to an early lead.

456
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 2: Paul George played thirty six minutes, Kawhi played thirty seven minutes,

457
00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,479
Speaker 2: James Harden played thirty seven. I don't want to hear

458
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,679
Speaker 2: the Stars didn't play. Kawhi had a crap game. He

459
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 2: was not good six of nineteen shooting. He was bad.

460
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,880
Speaker 2: He got out played by Bobby Portis. Yes, Bobby Portous

461
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 2: twenty eight and sixteen. The real story is Dame. So

462
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,920
Speaker 2: Yannis doesn't play, Dame goes off one of his best

463
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 2: games of the season. I listen, he could drop fifty

464
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 2: to sixty in a night, but no Yiannis and to

465
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 2: go for forty one against the Clippers. That was one

466
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 2: of Dame's best performances of the season. And I just

467
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 2: don't know why I keep getting sucked into this damn

468
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: Clippers team. Initially, after the hardened deal, everybody said, they

469
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: go go to five to start, Oh the Clippers. They

470
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 2: stink it's never gonna work. I was like, well, guys, wait, like,

471
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 2: can we be patient, Can we give it a little

472
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,880
Speaker 2: time to bake. We can give heart in a few

473
00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 2: minutes with the team, and like, Tyler's gonna figure it out.

474
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: They've got Kawhip, they got poultry. This team's gonna be dangerous.

475
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 2: And everybody now they're crap. They're crapped. Then they start

476
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 2: coming back. I told you, guys, can you wait? And

477
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: now I actually believe Listen, you know I'm rooting Lakers.

478
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 2: Go to Lakers game this week. I think the Lakers

479
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 2: have a legit chance in the West. Now, can you

480
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,359
Speaker 2: take down Denver where you're gonna need a little luck.

481
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 2: But I believe, honestly, I think the Clippers have a

482
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 2: better chance of eating the Nuggets than the Lakers do.

483
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 2: And I know they don't have a center, but at

484
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: some point, this Clippers offense can erupt and hit twenty

485
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,760
Speaker 2: twenty five threes, and I do believe they're better on

486
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,360
Speaker 2: the perimeter. All they have to do is if you

487
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 2: slow Jamal Murray and Michael Porter doesn't go ten for

488
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: ten or whatever, like, you're gonna be okay, Yo Kich

489
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,080
Speaker 2: is gonna eat. That's how the Suns got them last

490
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 2: year in the playoffs. You know, the Sons got whitewashed.

491
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,920
Speaker 2: It was like four to two. But in the two wins,

492
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,960
Speaker 2: the recipe was easy. Durant and Booker go off, We'll

493
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 2: let Yo Kic eat, but everybody else gets locked up

494
00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: and you win the game. And again, the Mimy Heat

495
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: tried this in the finals. You could do it for

496
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 2: a game or two. Ultimately, Malone and Yo Kich are

497
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 2: too smart. They're gonna figure it out. That being said,

498
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 2: the Clippers have way more firepower than the Heat, and

499
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 2: with PG, Kawhi and Harden, I think they've got way

500
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 2: more firepower than last year's Suns team that got two

501
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,920
Speaker 2: off the Nuggets. Remember Lakers got none off the Nuggets.

502
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 2: So I'm a believer in the Clippers. And then you

503
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:05,080
Speaker 2: see a result like this, and again, I know, let

504
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 2: me couch it. It's May, there's still twenty two games left.

505
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 2: What they're kind of getting through the post All Star

506
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 2: Game slog and it's like, come on, really, you're losing

507
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: to the yannisless Bucks. And you know, Doc Rivers had

508
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: to love this one, had to. I mean, he's starting

509
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 2: Jake crowder Brook Lopez. They did nothing Malik Beasley two

510
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 2: of eleven. It was the Bobby Portis and Dame Lillard Joe,

511
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 2: and it's an embarrassing loss for a paper Clips guys,

512
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:33,199
Speaker 2: you gotta figure this stuff out. All right, that's it

513
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 2: for today, back tomorrow. Talk to you then,
