18
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,880

Speaker 3: But let's start with.

72
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: The NFL draft because we are officially five days, five

73
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 2: days away from.

74
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 4: Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday.

75
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, five days.

76
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, we are five days away from dreams coming true.

77
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,680
Speaker 2: Like that that's the starting starting dreams.

78
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:22,959
Speaker 3: Yeah.

79
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: Well, I mean your dream is to like play in

80
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: the NFL, and like this is your getting drafted.

81
00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: This is the beginning.

82
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 2: I love the emotion, I love the tears, I love

83
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: the human aspect of everything behind it. And we're at

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 2: the point where there has been like hundreds of thousands

85
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: of mock drafts and we can all think we know

86
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: what's going to happen. I think the only thing like

87
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 2: everyone knows for sure is probably the number one pick.

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so let's start with the top three the draft order.

89
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 2: We got the Titans at one, Browns at two, Giants

90
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: at three Titans. I think everyone feels pretty confident that

91
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 2: they're locked in and taking cam Ward at number one.

92
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 2: We had Buck ride on a couple weeks ago, and

93
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: he was even saying, like, we have to take cam

94
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: It's similar to a Bears and Caleb situation.

95
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, when we had when we had Buck on long

96
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 5: time at National radio host has covered Titans very closely

97
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 5: for a very long time. That was kind of the

98
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 5: turning point of when we knew for sure that this

99
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: wasn't just a cell job. Because with the number one

100
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: overall pick, an option is to trade down get a Hall.

101
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,159
Speaker 5: The Titans have a ton of needs. And do you

102
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: think that cam Ward can ascend to be a top ten,

103
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 5: top twelve quarterback in this league? Because this is a

104
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 5: down class for quarterbacks this year, would it be maybe

105
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 5: more beneficial to set the team up a little bit

106
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 5: better and then wait for next year's class was just

107
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 5: supposed to be better. That was the thinking, right, But

108
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 5: now we're it's a ninety nine point nine as sure

109
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 5: as you can ever be, Just like just like the

110
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 5: Bears were last year, where you knew they were going

111
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 5: to take Caleb, the tense Titans are going to take

112
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 5: Miami's cam Ward and he is he does have the

113
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 5: potential to be a top ten, top twelve quarterback.

114
00:04:58,600 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 4: He does.

115
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,279
Speaker 5: He isn't a class all his own in this year's

116
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 5: draft because he is in Tier one for quarterbacks and

117
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 5: then it might not even be Tier two for shaudor

118
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 5: for tier You have to go a couple tiers down

119
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: before you get guys like Shador, guys like Jackson Dart.

120
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 5: That is the drop off between I think cam Ward

121
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 5: and some of the other quarterback prospects.

122
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 3: Which is like, yeah, okay, okay, it's tears.

123
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 2: I'm not talking rounds, no, I know, because I was

124
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 2: looking at a couple like obviously top prospect like orders

125
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: from the Athletic are Joe Klatt on Fox.

126
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 3: It's like in his top eleven prospects.

127
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 2: Joe Klatz, Yeah, he has Chadure at eight and cam

128
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:51,919
Speaker 2: Ward at ten, like he has a a bullion, which

129
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: is like as like when you're talking about tears as well,

130
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 2: it's like it's crazy that it's like some.

131
00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 5: People from watching Shad at Colorado, from watching some of

132
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: his film back and then watching cam I think the

133
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 5: biggest difference between the two of them, well, hey, cam

134
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 5: Ward is extremely athletic. Yes, he has incredible athleticism. And

135
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 5: also you've seen him at all his different stops because

136
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 5: Miami was not his only college in current word, I

137
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 5: think was his first, and then it's Washington State, which

138
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 5: he got better every step of the way. And even

139
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,480
Speaker 5: if you look at last season, some of those beginning

140
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 5: games for Miami compared to the end of season games

141
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 5: for cam Ward, you can see it, and like he's

142
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: very creative when he creates from the pocket, Like he

143
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 5: has kind of some interesting arm angles that he can

144
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: get the ball out. He's not an overly big guy,

145
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 5: but he doesn't have balls batted down. He knows how

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 5: to kind of fit the ball into some tight windows,

147
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 5: some interesting windows, some creative windows. He gets rid of

148
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 5: the ball really fast, he processes well, and then he

149
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 5: has the athleticism to back it up. And so he's

150
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,359
Speaker 5: a very dynamic quarterback when you're talking about that. He

151
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 5: has multiple kind of aspects to his game, whereas you

152
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 5: look at a guy like Shador and the anticipation is

153
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 5: lacking a little bit, like things need to be wide

154
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 5: open for him to see it. He like he has

155
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 5: to have the best way I can describe it, because

156
00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: I do think Shador is a good prospect. Do I

157
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 5: think that he's a top five he should go top five? No,

158
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: But that is a quarterback when it comes to the draft.

159
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 5: Quarterbacks rise depending on need all of that. But what

160
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 5: I do think that Charedor does well is he can

161
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 5: when things are set up for him, he delivers the

162
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 5: ball really well.

163
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 4: He can get into a rhythm.

164
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 5: He is really good at distributing the ball all over

165
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 5: the field, but he is not the guy that is

166
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 5: elevating the guys around him. Whereas cam Ward, I trust

167
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 5: putting an offense on cam Ward's back, I don't necessarily

168
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 5: trust putting an offense on Shador Sanders back without a

169
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 5: good offensive line in front of it, without really good receivers.

170
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: Because that's what he had at Colorado. Doesn't mean he.

171
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 5: Can't get there, No, but we haven't seen it yet,

172
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 5: and that's why you see the for me, that's why

173
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 5: you see the tier differences between the two of them.

174
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 4: And but again.

175
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 5: These are probably like Shadoor is probably still a first

176
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 5: round pick and probably would be regardless. I would like

177
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 5: to see him go maybe later in the in the

178
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 5: first round.

179
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 3: But like the Sailors the Steelers, I don't steal it.

180
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he's gonna drop.

181
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 5: No, I'm not saying I think he's going to He's

182
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 5: not gonna last that long. I think that from where

183
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 5: his talent is right now, that's a better spot for him. However,

184
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 5: there are so many different teams and the concern that

185
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 5: the biggest concern I have.

186
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 4: With a team taking Shadur Sanders. Is that if you.

187
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: Are taking him in the top of the first round,

188
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 5: say the Browns, say the Giants, even the Saints. At

189
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 5: this point, you need a guy to come in and

190
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,680
Speaker 5: deliver right away. I do not think shad Sanders can

191
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 5: deliver day one. I think that he needs some time

192
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 5: to develop. And that's where the danger of coming of

193
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: being taken in the like really tie in the first round,

194
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 5: Like if he goes to the Giants.

195
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: Okay, so then let's start. Let's go to number two

196
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:11,040
Speaker 2: and three then okay, so we know what the Titans

197
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: are going to do. Right Let's talk about the Browns

198
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: because they have a very weird situation going on in

199
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 2: the quarterback room right now. Okay, they have mister Badman,

200
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, who won't be ready for the start of

201
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: the season. Their owner came out a few weeks ago

202
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: and admitted it was a big swing and a miss,

203
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: something we all knew and this is just awkward energy

204
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 2: going into the season. If you're planning to stay with them,

205
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 2: then they have Kenny Pickett, who they signed this offseason.

206
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: He was Jalen Hurt's backup, so he has a Super

207
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 2: Bowl ring. What a come up Joe Flacco, and they

208
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: signed Joe Flacco. Papa Joe is back who won Comeback

209
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: Player of the Year with the Browns a couple of

210
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: years ago. But none of these guys feel like the

211
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: future of your franchise, right Kenny Pickett feels like a

212
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,040
Speaker 2: bridge guy. Flacco is forty, feels like insurance.

213
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,920
Speaker 4: Flacco is the bridge guy.

214
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 5: I don't even think that Kenny is a bridge guy

215
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 5: at this point if he has not shown anythridge.

216
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: Backup, bridge, bridge backup. I think Flacco at this point

217
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: will start. So if you believe in any of the

218
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: quarterbacks in this draft, if you believe in any of them,

219
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: it is the most important position on your team. Yeah you,

220
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: And I guess question is do you believe in should

221
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 2: or Sanders? Because that that is going.

222
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 5: To Do you believe in Shudar Sanders in a bad situation?

223
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 4: That offense, that offensive line is.

224
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 5: Old, Yes, it's not, it's not gonna They're gonna need

225
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 5: a lot, if not all, like, if not four of

226
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: the five, they're gonna need three of the five, and

227
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 5: by next year they.

228
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 4: Will need new a new offensive line. Essentially, who do

229
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 4: they have as receivers right now? There's not.

230
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 5: It's not set up for a young quarterback to succeed there,

231
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: especially when you're talking about a guy that's not as

232
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 5: ready made of a prospect like cam Ward Is. You're

233
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 5: talking about a guy that's gonna need some development and

234
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,959
Speaker 5: need some things to go right on this offense. If

235
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 5: I'm the Browns, I don't trust it. And so if

236
00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,119
Speaker 5: we're doing our little mock draft with the top three teams,

237
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 5: with the Browns, I'm gonna go.

238
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 3: Get Travis Hunter.

239
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 5: Or so I'm between Abdul Carter and Travis Hunter because

240
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 5: if you have Abdul Carter on the other side of

241
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 5: Miles Garrett, that's the most formidable pass rush anyone could

242
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,520
Speaker 5: fathom right now, and if you're bolstering your defense either way,

243
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 5: Because I do think that Travis Hunter, while he could

244
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 5: be a two way player, I think the easiest way

245
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 5: for him to play in the NFL is full time

246
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 5: corner package wide receiver in certain like I said certain

247
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: similar but I and so like I think Travis Hunter

248
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,719
Speaker 5: is the most incredible athlete in this draft. I think

249
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 5: Abdul Carter would make your defense insane. So I think

250
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,479
Speaker 5: either one of those two for the Browns.

251
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 4: Would would be great.

252
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 6: I don't.

253
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,680
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a wrong answer between Travis Hunter.

254
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 3: And I don't think they're gonna take a quarterback. I

255
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:48,839
Speaker 3: think it's good.

256
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 4: I don't think it would be smart. I really don't

257
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 4: think it smart.

258
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,239
Speaker 2: Okay, let's move to the number three pick the Giants.

259
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: Should they take a quarterback? Let's just remember, Okay, they

260
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 2: just signed Russell Wilson and Jamis would.

261
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 3: And they have Tommy DeVito.

262
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 4: Can't I just need I am a camera in that

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 4: quarterback room.

264
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:16,960
Speaker 2: So again, I don't think any of these guys are

265
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: the future of your franchise. Yes, you just signed two

266
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 2: quarterbacks this offseason, but they're also good veterans that if

267
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: you believe, again, this is all just do these franchises

268
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,000
Speaker 2: believe in Shadoor Sanders? Do they believe he can be

269
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: the future because he can come and he can sit

270
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 2: behind these two veterans and think about he could be

271
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: the future for your franchise, how big he could be

272
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: of a brand in New York.

273
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 5: Here's what I think about when it comes to the Giants, though,

274
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 5: and it goes beyond whether or not you believe with

275
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: shirt Sanders, because you have to consider Joe Shane, Brian

276
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,000
Speaker 5: Dabele Dabell's coaching for his job. Joe Shane is GMing

277
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 5: for his job. Yeah, you can sell ownership on and

278
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: exactly what you just said, where you have two veteran

279
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 5: guys that aren't your long term solution, but they give

280
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 5: you a cushion when it comes to bringing in a

281
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,840
Speaker 5: prospect like Chador to develop him. And if you can

282
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 5: create enough of a belief based on what you see

283
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: once he gets into the room and say hey, look,

284
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: you know, look how good he already is. Look at

285
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: all the potential he has. If you can sell ownership

286
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 5: on the potential, then that's where I think the Giant

287
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 5: Plus you know, the entire Giants staff was at Shadar's

288
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:38,200
Speaker 5: pro dae. But is is the Marra family going to

289
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 5: fall for that again? Because you already had had the

290
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones experiment in New York.

291
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 3: I feel like it's different, different kind of prospect.

292
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 5: No, they're not at all the same prospect, but you

293
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 5: already had an experiment at quarterback where you and this

294
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,640
Speaker 5: this regime. Joe Shane told you that Daniel Jones was

295
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: the guy Brian's.

296
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 2: Able told you like, that's crazy that go and like

297
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 2: you did all that, all the still mind blowing you

298
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,959
Speaker 2: guys makes zero sound.

299
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: So do you trust this regime to tell you again

300
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 5: to take a gamble? Because that is what this is

301
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, It's still a gamble.

302
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: And I don't know the answer to that.

303
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 5: That lies with the Mara family of are you gonna

304
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 5: let this regime take another gamble and tell you and

305
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 5: sell you on the potential of somebody only for them

306
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 5: not to potentially reach it. And again, you look at

307
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 5: what New York has offensively. Sure, they've got blak neighbors,

308
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 5: They've got some good offensive pieces. The offensive line needs

309
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: a lot of work.

310
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 7: Yep.

311
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,440
Speaker 5: Andrew Thomas is great, he's not usually available all season. Uh,

312
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 5: And what else do you have along that line?

313
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: Again?

314
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 5: Trying to set up quarterbacks to be successful. Now you

315
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 5: do have veteran guys in front of him that he

316
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 5: could learn from all of that kind of stuff. You

317
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 5: could afford to have a longer leash.

318
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 4: Yea with sugar.

319
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, But is ownership gonna let you get away with

320
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,160
Speaker 5: that again? Because you have this year to prove to

321
00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 5: them that you should stay and you should keep your job.

322
00:14:58,120 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 3: You do, But you also like hope you don't have

323
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:00,880
Speaker 3: this high of draft pick next year.

324
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: You only won three games last year, and you hope

325
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: that Russ and Jamis can get you more than three wins,

326
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 2: like so that again, they've.

327
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: Got a lot of They've got a lot of other teams.

328
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 5: I believe in him conditionally if he goes to a

329
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 5: good situation. I don't believe in him if he has

330
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 5: to be the guy right away, because I don't think

331
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 5: that's fair to put on who he is as a player,

332
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 5: who he's shown us to be. Do I think that

333
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 5: he's reached his ceiling? Of course not, He's gonna be

334
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 5: a rookie, but I don't. I'm not comfortable with my

335
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 5: entire livelihood, my franchise riding on him immediately.

336
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 4: That is the qualifier here. Immediately. Don't get mad at

337
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 4: me for saying it's immediately.

338
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: I'm not at all speaking to who should or can

339
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 5: be as a quarterback where his ceiling lies. But if

340
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 5: you put him in a bad situation and you expect

341
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 5: him to be the guy, and you expect him to

342
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 5: elevate your team to places they haven't been in a

343
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 5: long time. If you're the Giants, for instance, Uh, I'm not.

344
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 4: I don't trust that.

345
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I get that.

346
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 2: And you also remember, like it's not a bad thing

347
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 2: for a young quarterback to sit behind a veteran, Like

348
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: it's not as common. We don't see it as often now,

349
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 2: but Patrick Mahomes, if you're spending.

350
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: Its top three pick on a quarterback, it's very hard.

351
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Jackson's behind Joe Flacco and he only came in because

352
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: Flacko got hurt.

353
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 3: Like it's just it's interesting.

354
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: So, okay, questionnaire, how many quarterbacks you think you're going

355
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 2: to go in the first round?

356
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 5: I think too, Okay said, I think maybe Jackson Dart

357
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 5: sneaks in there. But again, Jackson Dart is also another raw, raw,

358
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: more raw prospect where he's going to need some time

359
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:34,480
Speaker 5: to develop.

360
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 4: I'm not going no. No.

361
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 5: Milroe is a tremendous athlete, Do not get me wrong.

362
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 5: He has the vision of a running back, but when

363
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 5: it comes to be playing quarterback throws.

364
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:47,360
Speaker 8: No.

365
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 5: God, No, he's a Day three guy. Okay. I like,

366
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 5: if it's anybody else.

367
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 3: Who are the three?

368
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 2: Who are the two teams you think you're going to

369
00:16:58,040 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 2: take in the first round.

370
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 5: I I think it's gonna be the Saints. That takes

371
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: Shore at nine, okay, and then it's gonna be cam Ward.

372
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,159
Speaker 4: Okay.

373
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 5: So I mean I like again, you could do the

374
00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 5: Steelers take a gamble with Jackson Dart, But like again,

375
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 5: you want ideally, you wanted Jackson Dart to go somewhere

376
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:18,440
Speaker 5: like the Rams where he's gonna have Matthew Stafford there

377
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 5: and then being a great organization that's gonna develop all

378
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 5: that other stuff. I think that if the Rams want

379
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 5: to take that that that dark for.

380
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,880
Speaker 3: Instance, you're doing the motion.

381
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 4: I think that that's that's a really easy answer.

382
00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: Okay.

383
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,920
Speaker 5: But outside of that, I I don't see Jackson Dart

384
00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 5: being a first rounder.

385
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I have three. I think three teams

386
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 2: will draft a quarterback in the first round. I have

387
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: the Titan, Saints, and Steelers. It's kind of my gut.

388
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: All right, guys, we're going to take a quick break here,

389
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 2: but when we come back, who will be the first

390
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 2: non quarterback taken in the draft?

391
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,680

415
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 3: the back of our mind every time.

416
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 2: All right, guys, well, since it's not as strong, like

417
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:10,840
Speaker 2: super strong quarterback draft, let's talk about the other guys.

418
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 2: Because we've heard a lot of executives call this, coaches

419
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: call this a depth draft.

420
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 4: Right, it's not even other positions.

421
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll add depth to your team at other positions.

422
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: So the non notable, like the notable non quarterbacks in

423
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 2: the draft, and where do you think they'll land, and

424
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 2: why let's start with.

425
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 3: Our own. I'm kind of going off.

426
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 2: I looked at a couple of different top prospects, but

427
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter wide receiver, quarterback, I think he's probably number

428
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 2: one just because of his duality of what he can

429
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 2: number one quarterback, number one non quarterback.

430
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, the first non quarterback pick, the.

431
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 3: First non quarterback pick.

432
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: And I think whatever team drafts him should let him

433
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 2: keep playing both sides of the ball. It's not going

434
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: to be every snap on both sides of the ball,

435
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:08,679
Speaker 2: but like, let let the man cook. You know, just

436
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 2: won the Heisman Trophy, the highest honor that you can

437
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 2: win at the college level playing both positions. Obviously, I

438
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: think the last time we saw like a high level

439
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 2: two way player in the NFL was his coach Dion

440
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: Samers like played quarterback, primary and then wide receiver, and

441
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,240
Speaker 2: he just coached him like he had he's had a good.

442
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 4: I don't have a good.

443
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 5: I don't think it's a question of like whether or

444
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 5: not they're going to let him play both sides of

445
00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 5: the ball at some point or another. It's just what

446
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 5: do you focus on? And whatever team he goes to,

447
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,800
Speaker 5: that's what's going to determine where if he's a prime

448
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,000
Speaker 5: primarily a wide receiver that sometimes goes on defense, or

449
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 5: if he's primarily a corner. Because you look at if

450
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 5: he was going to go to the Browns.

451
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think I.

452
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:53,920
Speaker 3: Think that's where he's.

453
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 4: Going to go.

454
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 5: If he goes there, he's automatically the first their best

455
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 5: wide receiver. Yes he is, and so like do you

456
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 5: you you kind of have to use him as a

457
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 5: wide receiver and then the dB part takes a back seat.

458
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 4: Cornerback takes a back seat to that.

459
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 5: I think it's it's an easier like to exploit his

460
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: entire skill set. I think the easier answer is to

461
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 5: have him be a full time corner and then come

462
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: in for offensive packages because there are plenty of players

463
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 5: whether it's an offensive lineman or you know, a defensive

464
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 5: lineman sometimes playing fullback, like guys that play defense coming

465
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 5: in on offense. Is it's kind of the precedent is

466
00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 5: there a little bit more? And I do think that

467
00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 5: whichever one he plays, whichever position he plays, because and

468
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 5: I've talked about this so much when it comes to

469
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 5: Travis Hunter, because he played two positions that mirror each other,

470
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 5: his experience at one makes him a better player on

471
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 5: the other side of the ball. So like he is

472
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 5: a better corner because he played wide receiver. Yes, he

473
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:54,199
Speaker 5: is a better wide receiver because you understand leverage, you

474
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,959
Speaker 5: understand routes, you understand how to gain an advantage on

475
00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 5: your opponent because you know what they're trying to do it.

476
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 5: That is going to help him whatever he ends up playing.

477
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 5: But I do think that it just depends on what

478
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 5: team he goes to, which is that will depend that

479
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 5: will determine rather what he ends up playing.

480
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 3: Who do you think is the next it has to be?

481
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I think Abdol Carter is probably the best

482
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 5: player in the draft because of just the insane NFL

483
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 5: readiness he already has.

484
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I say he's a good plug and play like

485
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:27,880
Speaker 2: he's ready to go.

486
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: He is an incredible edge rusher. He is the consensus

487
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 5: number one edge rusher. You can never have enough edge rushing.

488
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, you be getting a star, Yes, a star on

489
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 2: your defense immediately.

490
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah.

491
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 2: Like there has just been a lot of comps of

492
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:42,840
Speaker 2: like he'll have those are I mean.

493
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 5: We talked about both of those guys when we were

494
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 5: talking about like who's going to go one tooth three,

495
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 5: because those are the guys that are going to go

496
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 5: one too three. It's gonna be Cam Wore, Travis Hunter,

497
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: Abdol Carter in some order.

498
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 2: And I don't know if you saw, but he posted

499
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: a photo of Lawrence Taylor last week, who was a

500
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 2: giant his entire career, arguably the best in the NFL.

501
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,159
Speaker 2: So was that a mess to the giants like take me,

502
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:03,160
Speaker 2: I can be your next Lawrence Taylor.

503
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: I'm sorry it was, And like he has the confidence

504
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,360
Speaker 5: and he has the game and the film to back

505
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 5: it up. So I mean, like you never want to

506
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 5: compare anybody to Lawrence Taylor, greatest pass rusher, but like,

507
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 5: I mean, this is the guy that is going to

508
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: come in and make a difference to whatever organization he

509
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: goes to right away. Yeah, and from a pass rusher perspective,

510
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 5: I mean that's an impact position that gets the quarterback,

511
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:24,920
Speaker 5: that creates turnovers, that makes it harder on the other team.

512
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: So those are those are.

513
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 2: The two flashy the quarterback names.

514
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,200

522
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 10: Rep Anyway, the score here, James Harden uh leading the

Speaker 10: wasn't there yesterday. I don't know if he traveled, but

Speaker 10: he was there for the birth of his first child yesterday.

567
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 10: So I imagine probably still hanging out back in l A.

568
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:03,679

Speaker 2: He's the NBA Managing editor at the Athletic Tyler Batist.

586
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 3: Thank you for joining the show.

587
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:48,639
Speaker 6: Hey, thanks for having me.

588
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,919
Speaker 2: Congrats to the Yeah, and right in the middle of

589
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: NBA playoffs, this is big.

590
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 3: I know this is a big day for you.

591
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: Huge day.

592
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 3: Game one already in the books.

593
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,199
Speaker 2: Pacers taken down, it was basically be honest, but I

594
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: want to start with my Lakers tipping off at Crypto

595
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,159
Speaker 2: tonight against the t Wolves. Are you in the belief

596
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: that this group, now with Luka Doncic, is good enough

597
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: to get to the NBA Finals?

598
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 6: You know, yes, But I think I don't want to

599
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,640
Speaker 6: say that they they're the favorite, right, I mean, when

600
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,320
Speaker 6: you have a player like Luca and you have a

601
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 6: player like Lebron, anything really as possible. We saw that

602
00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 6: last year with Luca and what he did with the Mavericks.

603
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 6: I think the Timberwolves are going to be a pretty

604
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 6: interesting matchup for them because of Anthony Edwards. I don't

605
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 6: think any Lakers fans would probably want Luca or Austin

606
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 6: Reeves on Anthony Edwards for forty minutes a game. So

607
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 6: the JJ Reddick is gonna have to get pretty creative

608
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 6: to try to get the ball out of Anthony Edwards hands.

609
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 6: And if some of the other Timberwolves can, can you know,

610
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:53,679
Speaker 6: have big games every now and then and try to,

611
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 6: you know, match what Luca and Lebron are gonna do.

612
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a pretty interesting series. I would not

613
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 6: be surprised if that when even though it's to three

614
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 6: six matchup those seven games.

615
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 5: Tyler, thank you so much for taking the time away

616
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,199
Speaker 5: from getting ready for WrestleMania.

617
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,800
Speaker 4: I know this is a good year outside of the NBA.

618
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 3: I forgot about that show.

619
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 5: You're such a pal and I really appreciate you doing this.

620
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 5: I'm stinging in the Western Conference, though, I want to

621
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: talk about the OKC Thunder.

622
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 4: Because now, like last year, I think a lot.

623
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:22,920
Speaker 5: Of people, as fun of a team as they were,

624
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 5: as as talented as they are, as young as they are,

625
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:28,200
Speaker 5: that was kind of held against them, right, like lack

626
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:29,879
Speaker 5: of experience. They didn't know how to win yet they

627
00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 5: didn't know how to win these really close games.

628
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 4: Now they have the experience of last.

629
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 5: Year going into this year, and they have, you know,

630
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 5: arguably the.

631
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:37,919
Speaker 4: NBA NBA MVP.

632
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 5: Where do you see them then as the favorites to

633
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 5: come out of the Western Conference.

634
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,320
Speaker 6: I think I do, Yeah, I mean I don't think.

635
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 5: I do.

636
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 6: I know I do. I mean, they've had they went,

637
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 6: you know, they went sixty eight and fourteen. They have

638
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 6: one of the best regular seasons of all time. And

639
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:57,680
Speaker 6: the thing that's in their favor is that they don't

640
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 6: have to go against another jug or not like Cleveland

641
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 6: or Boston will have to do in the Eastern Conference.

642
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 6: One of them inevitably probably is going to have to

643
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 6: play the other. Those three teams were by far the

644
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 6: three best teams in the league. I also think that

645
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 6: the inexperience thing is still probably being held against the

646
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 6: Thunder a little bit because of what they did in

647
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,400
Speaker 6: the playoffs last year, they didn't get past the second round.

648
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 6: We've seen historically that teams kind of have to sort

649
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 6: of lose before they kind of end up poisting the

650
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 6: trophy at the end of the season. We've seen that

651
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 6: with the Celtics. That Celtics group with Sayson Tatum and

652
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 6: Jalen Brown had a lot of playoff setbacks, including getting

653
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 6: to the finals against the Warriors in twenty twenty two,

654
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 6: before they actually got to the mountain top. So, I

655
00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 6: think all the numbers and all the statistics point to

656
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 6: okay see coming out.

657
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 9: Of the West.

658
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 6: But even if they do, it will be something that's,

659
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 6: you know, not something that we regularly see to see

660
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 6: a team go from you know, a second round loss

661
00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 6: to all the way to the top in the historic fashion.

662
00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 6: So but I just look at the rest of the

663
00:29:57,080 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 6: Western Conference. I think there's some teams that could get there,

664
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,479
Speaker 6: But I don' any reason to bet against OKC at

665
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 6: this point.

666
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the game going on right now.

667
00:30:04,240 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 2: We have a healthy Clippers team with James Harman and

668
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,959
Speaker 2: Kawhi getting hot at the perfect time going against then

669
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 2: I get who just fired their head coach and GM,

670
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:20,959
Speaker 2: but they also have the three time MVP, the Joker.

671
00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: How do you expect how do you see this series unfolding?

672
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 6: I think the Clippers are probably playing as well as

673
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 6: anybody in the league. Yeah, I think, if I'm not mistaken,

674
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 6: they're eighteen and three in their last twenty one games

675
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 6: coming into the playoffs, and I know two of those

676
00:30:37,800 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 6: losses were against OKC. Yeah eight in the Roads they

677
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: lost Okaye and they lost to Cleveland, So it's not

678
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 6: like they had some missteps. I think the way that

679
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 6: they've been playing, and if Kawhi Leonard continues to play

680
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 6: like he's been playing, they can beat anybody. The thing

681
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 6: about the playoffs, obviously there's not going to be back

682
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 6: to backs. You're going to have a day off in

683
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,080
Speaker 6: between games. A lot of times you'll have multiple days

684
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 6: off in between games. That's gonna help Kawhi Leonard relatively healthy.

685
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 6: I think if he is, you know, he's still kind

686
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 6: of working his way in the safe. He only really

687
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 6: started playing five on five you three months ago. Yeah,

688
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 6: so they're really scary. I think they have obviously, you know,

689
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 6: championship experience, with Kawhi Leonard having two titles. Tyron Lou

690
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 6: got into the finals a lot with Cleveland, led Cleveland

691
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 6: to a championship when he was the head coach there

692
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 6: alongside Lebron James in that group. So they've got guys

693
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 6: who've been there before, as do the Nuggets. But you know,

694
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 6: four or five matchups are kind of toss ups and

695
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 6: during normal circumstances, but when you have a team that's

696
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 6: coming in as high as the Clippers are and looking

697
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 6: at right now they're up double digits, I don't think

698
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 6: you know, that would be a shock for them to

699
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 6: advance past past Denver and presumably face okay see in

700
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 6: the second round. I mean, okay see, he does have

701
00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 6: to play Memphis, But I think you know, that would

702
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 6: be one of the biggest shocks of playoff history if that,

703
00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 6: if that series didn't go the thunder Way.

704
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 5: All right, let me go to the other conference that

705
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 5: real quick, because we're Eastern Conference. Hasn't been a lot

706
00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 5: of mystery of the season, and you know the All

707
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,280
Speaker 5: ten ss were locked up really quickly, and you have

708
00:32:01,360 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 5: the Juggernauts there, which you mentioned Boston, Cleveland. Cleveland with

709
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 5: the best record in the NBA, the regular season record

710
00:32:06,880 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 5: in the NBA this year. How do you see this

711
00:32:10,040 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: kind of unfolding. Then now come playoff time, because it's

712
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 5: a new season. At this point, do you see kind

713
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 5: of more volatility in the East or do you see

714
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 5: kind of it going the way of Listen, at some

715
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 5: point Boston and Cleveland are gonna be the ones that

716
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 5: match up against each other, and whoever wins that series

717
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 5: gets out of the East and goes to the finals.

718
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 6: Yeah. I mean, I'd be shocked if we didn't get

719
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 6: Celtics Cavaliers in the conference finals. The Pacers looked really

720
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 6: good today and they made the conference finals last year.

721
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 6: I feel like a lot of people kind of forget

722
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 6: that they were one of the last four teams standing.

723
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 6: They played really well this season. Yeah, they played really

724
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 6: well this season after a slow start, so you know,

725
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 6: they could give whatever team they would match up with

726
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 6: the in the second round some trouble. But you know,

727
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 6: I think a lot of people went into the season

728
00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 6: thinking that the Knicks are sort of going to take

729
00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 6: that step to be the competitor against Boston after they

730
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 6: made the Karl Anthony Towns trade. But Cleveland sort of

731
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 6: assumed that, you know, that that kind of contender status

732
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 6: alongside the Celtics. The Knicks haven't played well against Cleveland

733
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 6: or Boston this year. It Yeah, yeah, really, it'd be

734
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 6: a sock for them to kind of all of a

735
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 6: sudden change that in the playoffs. But you know, I

736
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 6: think I'd be just as shocked as that would be

737
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,880
Speaker 6: for the Grizzlies to beat the thunder is how socked

738
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 6: that would be if we didn't get a Cleveland Boston

739
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 6: Conference finals in the East.

740
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,360
Speaker 2: Okay, but right before we let you you kind of

741
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 2: dropped a little nugget there that you think the Pacers

742
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: are probably gonna beat.

743
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:36,600
Speaker 3: The Bucks in the series.

744
00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: After Game one and also the fact that we might

745
00:33:38,600 --> 00:33:40,840
Speaker 2: get Dame back for Game two or three, you still

746
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: think Pacers got this.

747
00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I think Damian Limit seems like he's trending.

748
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:48,520
Speaker 6: He's trending on coming back, and obviously he's not going

749
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 6: to be one hundred percent when he starts to come back.

750
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 3: I think too has done it.

751
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. And I think the Bucks just for them

752
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 6: to win this series, they probably need a few superhero

753
00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 6: efforts from and they got something like that today, But

754
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 6: they also had two starters who didn't even score in

755
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,040
Speaker 6: the game, and so he can't do it you know,

756
00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:08,840
Speaker 6: he can't do it. As great as he is, he

757
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:11,279
Speaker 6: can't do it all alone. And like I said, the

758
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 6: Pacers have you know, they were there last year in

759
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 6: the conference finals. I'm also really big and I mentioned

760
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:18,959
Speaker 6: this earlier, just kind of on peep having people around

761
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,600
Speaker 6: your team who have that championship experience. You look at

762
00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 6: the Pacers, Pascal Siakam has a ring with the Raptors,

763
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,440
Speaker 6: Rick Carlisle coach a title team with the Mavericks. They

764
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 6: have guys who've done it before in Tyrese Haliburton. Although

765
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,880
Speaker 6: he hasn't you know, been to an NBA finals, he's

766
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 6: proven that he's an all Star caliber player. And you've

767
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,760
Speaker 6: got a nice trio of folks there on the Pacers

768
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 6: who can kind of you know, I'm sure they want

769
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,920
Speaker 6: to get further than they did last year, so I

770
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,359
Speaker 6: would expect them to beat the Bucks. But you know,

771
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,439
Speaker 6: Giannis is one of the greatest players of all time.

772
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 6: Wouldn't put anything past him again to have kind of

773
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:53,200
Speaker 6: a herculeans like effort. We saw it in the finals

774
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 6: a few years ago. They were down to nothing to

775
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,040
Speaker 6: the Suns and then won the series and game in

776
00:34:57,320 --> 00:34:59,640
Speaker 6: six games. So don't put anything past the honest, but

777
00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 6: I think the facers are probably the favorite, especially after

778
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 6: this game.

779
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 3: To day, Tyler, thank you so much.

780
00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:07,440
Speaker 2: Thanks by Enjoy the playoffs and WrestleMania when.

781
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 3: We come back.

782
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,800
Speaker 2: The dudes and the don't in sports. You're listening to

783
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:11,680

836
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 2: is now like giving him the flowers that like we've

837
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 2: all known since he got drafted out of high school.

838
00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 3: I mean, Laker's rookie.

839
00:37:57,520 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 2: Don't Connect, had an incredible quote this week. He's like,

840
00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,439
Speaker 2: Ron has been playing in the playoffs since I was born. Yes,

841
00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 2: he's got a couple of years off, but like yeah.

842
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,800
Speaker 5: Basically no, I mean he's playing with guys that weren't

843
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 5: born when he.

844
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 3: Was drafted, yes, which is wild, wild.

845
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:15,640
Speaker 4: Which sucks because I remember Lebron James.

846
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 3: I remember the draft.

847
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 5: I was a teenager at that point in high. All right,

848
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:24,720
Speaker 5: I gotta do you stand on business? Because draft prospect

849
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 5: running back to prospect Ashton Genty, widely accepted as the

850
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,439
Speaker 5: number one running back in the draft out of Boise State,

851
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,160
Speaker 5: he wrote an open letter in the Player's Tribune and

852
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 5: detailing why you know he's this is all he's ever wanted,

853
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:42,520
Speaker 5: all these wonderful things. He closed it with just an

854
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:47,399
Speaker 5: iconic sentiment line phrase, I don't know anyway. He said,

855
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 5: it's tackle football, tackle in all caps. You know what

856
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 5: I'm saying. I draft the guy that can't tackle, and

857
00:38:53,640 --> 00:39:00,440
Speaker 5: I'm like, drop Ashton Genty, stand on business, down your

858
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 5: abilities and dud. He's got the swagger to back it up.

859
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 5: I absolutely love this out of the draft prospect.

860
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 4: I do too.

861
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:09,640
Speaker 3: He's had a lot of good quotes this week.

862
00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,040
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm going to bring to a team what

863
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,680
Speaker 2: like Saquon Barkley just did for Philly. Like he he

864
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:15,840
Speaker 2: is so confident in his ability.

865
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, he did it. Poise State were absolutely insane.

866
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that so much. Okay, do

867
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:26,200
Speaker 2: honor your city. For the first time in NFL history,

868
00:39:26,360 --> 00:39:29,760
Speaker 2: a team will make their draft operations to a fire station.

869
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:34,319
Speaker 2: When la Rams draft from LAFD Air Operations. I love

870
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 2: how much this team and all of the LA Sports

871
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 2: teams have done to support the LA Fire Department since

872
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 2: the devastating LA Fires, Because just to remind the rest

873
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 2: of the country, it still looks like a war zone

874
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:46,840
Speaker 2: in Palisades, Malibu and Altadina Like it's I just it.

875
00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 4: Will remain fully functional. It will remain fully function.

876
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 5: I think that's that's a good thing to say that

877
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:54,480
Speaker 5: the the LA Air Operations Fire Department, air operations that

878
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,400
Speaker 5: will still remain.

879
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 2: From a still happening. They're going to be set up

880
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 2: in a separate room in the draft.

881
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 4: Yes, yeah, yeah, uh last one.

882
00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Speaker 5: Don't let up because the Caravan were petty and the

883
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 5: MAVs lost to the Brizzlies last night.

884
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: I absolutely love it.

885
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 5: I hope that Dallas has every Lakers playoff game on

886
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:12,720

00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 2: Curry here with Carmen Vitale. Thank you for spending your

00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000

893
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,480
Speaker 2: day for sports we are watching the NBA playoffs go

894
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: down right now.

895
00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:38,760
Speaker 3: Happy playoff season.

896
00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:43,520
Speaker 2: I mean, Pacers took game one basically against Giannis, so it's.

897
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:47,440
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, even if it's it is the Pacers.

898
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 2: It's the Pacers Versusana's. Even if they get Dame back

899
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:52,760
Speaker 2: game three, it's not gonna be game shape ready. Clippers

900
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,439
Speaker 2: Nuggets going on right now.

901
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 3: Clippers.

902
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: A healthy Clippers team is a dangerous team because we

903
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 2: have not seen a fully healthy Clippers team in playoffs

904
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:01,200
Speaker 2: in years past.

905
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,080
Speaker 3: That's kind of been their achilles heel. They're leading by

906
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:04,959
Speaker 3: a lot at half.

907
00:41:05,040 --> 00:41:07,640
Speaker 2: Pistons and Knicks tip off in an hour. Lakers tea

908
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:12,680
Speaker 2: Holves tonight in LA. Like it's just and we talked

909
00:41:12,719 --> 00:41:15,479
Speaker 2: about this in the first hour. I think West first

910
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 2: round is going to be interesting. There's a couple couple

911
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:23,520
Speaker 2: top sucks, but East feels like top seeds probably gonna

912
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:24,359
Speaker 2: take this one.

913
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 3: We'll dive more into that in just a bit. Also,

914

Speaker 3: Happy Draft week.

915
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,439
Speaker 2: In the first hour, we went over top three draft order,

916
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:32,840
Speaker 2: who we think they'll pick, who they like.

917
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:36,160
Speaker 3: Probably should pick, versus who they will pick.

918
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks are going to go in the first round,

919

00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 3: Are you like? Are you going, are you so pip

942
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: orn at home? Are you writing? I will go down.

943
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 5: Over the last god ten years now, yeah, I've almost

944
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,160
Speaker 5: outside of I think two years, i've been in a

945
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:50,920
Speaker 5: team facility.

946
00:42:51,560 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 3: Oh yeah.

947
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 5: So when I was working for the Bucks, obviously we

948
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 5: were in the office. My office was right across the

949
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,480
Speaker 5: hall from the war room. That was really fun. And

950
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:03,360
Speaker 5: then working for Fox covering initially the NFC North. Now

951
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,719
Speaker 5: I cover the whole league for them. But the last

952
00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,960
Speaker 5: few years I've been at Hallis Hall in Chicago in

953
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 5: the media workrooms there, and then they bring out the

954
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 5: prospects that they chose the day before, but then the

955
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,440
Speaker 5: general manager of the head coach will come out and

956
00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:18,120
Speaker 5: talk about it. They bro out scouts to talk, you know,

957
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 5: through some of the guys that they chose. So I've

958
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:24,600
Speaker 5: almost always been in a building for these drafts because

959
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,319
Speaker 5: like when you go to the draft, there's not a

960
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 5: whole lot and nothing the broadcast like yeah exactly, Like

961
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:32,799
Speaker 5: there's no like the general like all of the team

962
00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 5: every personnel is at their home base, right yeah, they're

963
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,200
Speaker 5: they're in their war rooms. So uh, that's That's always

964
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 5: been a really fun experience. I've been privy to a

965
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:43,560
Speaker 5: lot of really cool things, a lot of really cool conversations. Yeah,

966
00:43:43,960 --> 00:43:47,839
Speaker 5: off the record, and it's been It really opens your

967
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 5: eyes as to how it happens every year where you

968
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:53,040
Speaker 5: do we have hundreds thousands of mock drafts every year

969
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 5: any media and the media perception of so many of

970
00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,720
Speaker 5: these prospects varies wildly from what teams view these guys,

971
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:04,560
Speaker 5: and you find that out every single year in the draft.

972
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 5: My biggest thing when it comes to covering the draft

973
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: is this is the season where I have the most

974
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:15,680
Speaker 5: conversations of the year. I'm constantly texting, calling, talking to coaches, scouts,

975
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 5: evaluators because I'm not particularly interested to I don't think

976
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 5: people are interested to what I think about these guys.

977
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 5: I think people are interested what the league thinks about

978
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 5: these guys. So my whole kind of the way that

979
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,920
Speaker 5: I approach the draft and covering it every year is

980
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 5: trying to like kind of just say what the league

981
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:37,320
Speaker 5: is thinking I and to be the go between of like, yeah,

982
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 5: this is what I'm hearing about this guy.

983
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:39,439
Speaker 4: This is what I'm hearing.

984
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,239
Speaker 5: So it's not necessarily my own evaluation, although I do

985
00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:44,640
Speaker 5: watch some of these guys, it's what.

986
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:46,919
Speaker 3: You're kind of like the middle the middle woman.

987
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: That's what a journalist is.

988
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:49,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are.

989
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:51,880
Speaker 5: You're supposed to be there and canalysts and educate fans

990
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:53,919
Speaker 5: and give them the information and give them the things

991
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:55,479
Speaker 5: that they want to know. And I think most fans

992
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 5: want to know where the league is leaning versus my

993
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 5: own opinion.

994
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,200
Speaker 4: Who why. I don't make any decisions for any teams.

995
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: We just have opinions and everyone's got one. So let's

996
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 2: talk some some quarterbacks right now. Because Rogers Aaron Rodgers, No,

997
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: but I think he's waiting to make his decision.

998
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:15,160
Speaker 3: Till after the draft.

999
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 2: He emerged from the darkness. If you want to, you know,

1000
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:24,280
Speaker 2: bring in his past. But honestly, he went on Pat McAfee,

1001
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:26,800
Speaker 2: and honestly, I was a little I was a little

1002
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: shook when I heard him share. He was sharing kind

1003
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 2: of like obviously what went on this offseason. But he

1004
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:36,279
Speaker 2: started with his Jets farewell meeting just to recap. He

1005
00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:39,239
Speaker 2: flew across the country on his own dime to meet

1006
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 2: the new.

1007
00:45:39,840 --> 00:45:42,280
Speaker 4: Jets's ex sit him back so much, Yep.

1008
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:42,680
Speaker 3: That's okay.

1009
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,360
Speaker 2: Just to meet the Jets new head coach Aaron Glenn,

1010
00:45:45,400 --> 00:45:49,239
Speaker 2: former Lions defensive coordinator to talk about his future with

1011
00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:52,760
Speaker 2: the Jets. So you know, if you're flying across country,

1012
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 2: you think you're going to like have a good decent conversation, right,

1013
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 2: But he said within twenty seconds after he said yes,

1014
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 2: you want to play, they immediately said we're going in

1015
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 2: a different direction, which is the epitome of this.

1016
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,640
Speaker 3: Could have been an email or a phone call.

1017
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:10,279
Speaker 5: See I don't agree. I do because I mean, yeah,

1018
00:46:10,320 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 5: you said it.

1019
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 4: But here's the thing.

1020
00:46:12,480 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 5: If they would have just called him and said, yeah, Aaron,

1021
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 5: we're going somewhere else, then he the whole story would

1022
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:19,880
Speaker 5: have been, Oh, well, they didn't have the balls to

1023
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:20,279
Speaker 5: face me.

1024
00:46:20,480 --> 00:46:22,440
Speaker 4: I don't know if I can say that. Sorry, I

1025
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,000
Speaker 4: think they don't have they here.

1026
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 3: Then you fly out here and Eron.

1027
00:46:27,160 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 5: Glenn is a new head coach. You've got all this

1028
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:31,319
Speaker 5: new that you're trying to set up. You don't have

1029
00:46:31,320 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 5: time to fly across the country. Also, like on your

1030
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,760
Speaker 5: own dime, Aaron, you've made millions and millions and millions

1031
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,680
Speaker 5: of dollars both in your career and off the field,

1032
00:46:38,719 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 5: and all of that kind of stuff.

1033
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:41,719
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear it. This was hey. And

1034
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 4: also it wasn't a twenty second conversation they had. I

1035
00:46:46,280 --> 00:46:47,480
Speaker 4: think I think they.

1036
00:46:47,160 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 5: Said it was fifteen minutes, and they eventually they asked him, hey,

1037
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,640
Speaker 5: do you want to keep playing? Out of like all right,

1038
00:46:53,760 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 5: because if the answer was no, and if he use whatever,

1039
00:46:56,239 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 5: then this becomes a completely different conversation.

1040
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,240
Speaker 4: Now.

1041
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,000
Speaker 5: It was like, all right, well, if you're gonna keep playing,

1042
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,800
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be here and we just want to

1043
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,359
Speaker 5: tell you that. And also, don't forget you left out

1044
00:47:05,360 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 5: the part where Aaron Glenn was like, hey, how do

1045
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,880
Speaker 5: you want this messaging to come across? Put gave Aaron

1046
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,520
Speaker 5: the chance to say, hey, we know that this is

1047
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 5: you know this is gonna be news. How do you

1048
00:47:15,560 --> 00:47:17,839
Speaker 5: want it to come out? You can dictate that. We

1049
00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:19,359
Speaker 5: want to give you that. We want to make sure

1050
00:47:19,400 --> 00:47:22,240
Speaker 5: that this is a seamless process on like on your terms.

1051
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:24,839
Speaker 5: They gave him that option, and he was like, oh,

1052
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:26,719
Speaker 5: don't care about the messaging. Of course you care about

1053
00:47:26,760 --> 00:47:29,920
Speaker 5: the messaging, Aaron. You're Aaron Rodgers. You want to stay

1054
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,720
Speaker 5: in the media, Like I've been so kind of checked

1055
00:47:33,719 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 5: out of this whole storyline because I'm just like, wake

1056
00:47:36,239 --> 00:47:38,040
Speaker 5: me up. If he makes a decision but like, I

1057
00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:39,720
Speaker 5: did not hold my breath when he went on McCabe.

1058
00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,600
Speaker 5: People were thinking that he was gonna, like say, if

1059
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,280
Speaker 5: he's retired. I'm like, he's gonna drag this out until

1060
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,280
Speaker 5: the eleventh hour.

1061
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 3: And honestly until after the draft.

1062
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 5: If he's talking this much though about retirement, Like you

1063
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 5: talk to any former player and they're just like, the

1064
00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 5: moment those words leave your lips, I might retire, You're.

1065
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:56,880
Speaker 3: Retired, Yeah, you're retired.

1066
00:47:56,920 --> 00:47:58,880
Speaker 2: It's interesting though, because in the interview he mentioned that

1067
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 2: he's a lot going on in his personal life that

1068
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 2: he's focusing on, and he said it a few times

1069
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 2: throughout the interview, which is why he hasn't made a

1070
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:08,279
Speaker 2: football decision yet.

1071
00:48:08,320 --> 00:48:09,040
Speaker 3: But it's just.

1072
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: Then, you've made a football decision. Is not your priority, it's.

1073
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:13,919
Speaker 3: Not the number one.

1074
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: It's just so yeah, okay, So you're under the impression

1075
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:22,759
Speaker 2: you think he's going to retire.

1076
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,560
Speaker 5: Yes, because why like coming back at forty one years old,

1077
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 5: coming off the injury that he had. I know that

1078
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 5: he like clearly it didn't go well for him this

1079
00:48:29,080 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 5: last year, huge injury and now who who is the

1080
00:48:34,800 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 5: contender steal that needs a quarterback? Are the Steelers the

1081
00:48:38,600 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 5: contender or are they gonna go Are they gonna win

1082
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 5: ten games, make the playoffs and and exit in either

1083
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:45,279
Speaker 5: the wild card or divisional round?

1084
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:46,200
Speaker 3: Yes?

1085
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 5: But and is that work playing yourself through the paces

1086
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:53,680
Speaker 5: of an NFL season when you are still atty one years.

1087
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:55,680
Speaker 2: Old still want to play? Like, is this still like

1088
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:57,000
Speaker 2: your number one priority?

1089
00:48:57,120 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 4: Well?

1090
00:48:57,400 --> 00:48:58,400
Speaker 3: I question there.

1091
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 5: There is so much of Aaron Rodgers wanting have his

1092
00:49:00,280 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 5: cake and eat it too, which is nothing new with

1093
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:04,000
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers. But I'm like, you cannot go to a

1094
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 5: situation where you conceivably could win a championship after waiting

1095
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:11,760
Speaker 5: this long, after acting this way, after just you're.

1096
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 4: You're you're forty one, dude.

1097
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's old.

1098
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 5: And like I get you want to go out on

1099
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 5: your own terms, So go out on your own terms.

1100
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like it just I don't see any other real

1101
00:49:23,840 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 2: like good landing spot situations for no, because it's Rogers.

1102
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 5: There's not like him taking up all this time to

1103
00:49:31,120 --> 00:49:34,360
Speaker 5: quote unquote make a decision, Like you've you've backed yourself

1104
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:36,720
Speaker 5: into a corner at this point where it's Steelers or Best.

1105
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is.

1106
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,200
Speaker 5: And at this point I don't even know that the Steelers,

1107
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,920
Speaker 5: Like the Steelers don't have another early good option, so

1108
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:44,360
Speaker 5: that's already offer.

1109
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:46,759
Speaker 2: So it's like they want them if it's there, But

1110
00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 2: like it depends, like do they take a big swing

1111
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 2: in the draft too, then they might not.

1112
00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 3: Why not need to? I mean again, there's not like

1113
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 3: a big swing to really take in the draft. Is

1114
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,759
Speaker 3: just if they take a quarterback. I don't know.

1115
00:49:59,120 --> 00:50:04,040
Speaker 2: That's again, like nothing's going to happen till after next weekend,

1116
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:11,560
Speaker 2: in two weeks. Okay, So now let's move to current

1117
00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 2: current college quarterbacks and some big news this week. Nico

1118
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:22,160
Speaker 2: Ia Maliava situation entering the transfer portal this week after

1119
00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: reportedly not reaching an NIL deal that he wanted with Tennessee.

1120
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:29,120
Speaker 2: I think he had like trying to find like exact numbers,

1121
00:50:29,120 --> 00:50:30,880
Speaker 2: but like two point two million dollar deal. He won

1122
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 2: four million dollar deal. In my friends, this is the

1123
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 2: dark side of the nil. This is in his first

1124
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,880
Speaker 2: year with the Voles, Like he took them to the

1125
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 2: college football Playoffs, they lost in the first round to

1126
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and it feels like Nico's focusing on his

1127
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,399
Speaker 2: pay to play instead of play to win.

1128
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 3: Well and the.

1129
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 5: Family came out eventually and like now that he's signing

1130
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 5: with UCLA, they were like, it's it wasn't about money, whether.

1131
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 4: That's whether that's true or not.

1132
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 5: Though this isn't the dark side of nil, it's just

1133
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,520
Speaker 5: what's the business side, Like, this is the thing where

1134
00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:04,919
Speaker 5: if you're gonna if you're if the players are going

1135
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,320
Speaker 5: to treat with the transfer portal, it's more about the

1136
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:09,960
Speaker 5: transfer portal than anything. If the players are gonna treat

1137
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,759
Speaker 5: the transfer portal like, all right, I'm gonna go to

1138
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:14,759
Speaker 5: the team that gives me the most money and I can.

1139
00:51:14,840 --> 00:51:17,839
Speaker 5: I'm free to move about the cabin and the NC

1140
00:51:17,840 --> 00:51:22,520
Speaker 5: Double A. Then in turn, those teams have the right

1141
00:51:22,680 --> 00:51:27,239
Speaker 5: to cut you to do like at this point, colleges,

1142
00:51:27,560 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 5: you can't cut a guy mid season the way you

1143
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 5: can in the NFL. Yeah, so if I players right

1144
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 5: now are kind of treating this as NFL players would

1145
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 5: of free agency and that kind of stuff, but teams

1146
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 5: aren't allowed to do the same. And I'm again, I'm

1147
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 5: not coming to the I'm not coming to the defense

1148
00:51:43,160 --> 00:51:47,640
Speaker 5: of the NC Double A or the colleges themselves necessarily,

1149
00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 5: But this is what comes with that being a business

1150
00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:55,160
Speaker 5: is that you then they have autonomy. Tennessee has the

1151
00:51:55,160 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 5: autonomy to say, yeah, this was our offer. If you're

1152
00:51:58,040 --> 00:51:59,960
Speaker 5: not gonna take it, we're gonna go to the transfer

1153
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 5: portal then and we're gonna find somebody else too.

1154
00:52:02,520 --> 00:52:05,640
Speaker 4: So this is just the other side of that coin.

1155
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 5: It's it's been the wild West, and players have had

1156
00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:12,279
Speaker 5: the leverage initially because of the fact that it is

1157
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 5: the wild West and the regulations aren't there and all

1158
00:52:14,320 --> 00:52:17,800
Speaker 5: of that kind of stuff. The NCAA now the decision

1159
00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 5: should come, I believe in July is what it is.

1160
00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:20,719
Speaker 4: What they said on.

1161
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,120
Speaker 5: There's like there's back pay for and it's an NCAA

1162
00:52:25,200 --> 00:52:27,840
Speaker 5: athletes mostly in the money making sports going back to

1163
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,359
Speaker 5: twenty sixteen, going to players that should have made money

1164
00:52:30,400 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 5: that didn't make money off of NIL. And then they're

1165
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 5: also structuring it where essentially teams colleges have a set

1166
00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,759
Speaker 5: amount of money like a salary cap to give to

1167
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 5: their players, which is in addition though to any of

1168
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,760
Speaker 5: the NIL deals that these guys can get, which again

1169
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 5: models more after the NFL model, and again the flip

1170
00:52:50,880 --> 00:52:53,720
Speaker 5: side of that has to be the teams then also

1171
00:52:54,040 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 5: have the autonomy to say, all right, we're gonna we're

1172
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,080
Speaker 5: gonna cut you because if you're gonna treat these guys

1173
00:52:59,080 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 5: like professionals, which I agree with paying players.

1174
00:53:01,719 --> 00:53:02,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh same.

1175
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 2: I am a huge advocate for nil and the players

1176
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:07,600
Speaker 2: getting to make money.

1177
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:11,160
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, But then like you don't, then then they're

1178
00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 5: players first, they're not student athletes anymore.

1179
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:15,560
Speaker 3: These guys aren't after know they are.

1180
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:18,239
Speaker 2: But then then again, like are you going to a

1181
00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,319
Speaker 2: better situation? I think Nico thought the market was going

1182
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,399
Speaker 2: to be much bigger than it was. Like UCLA are

1183
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,359
Speaker 2: it known as a college football powerhouse and went five

1184
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 2: and seven last year. They didn't even play in a

1185
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:31,000
Speaker 2: bowl game. And if you're at a better if you're

1186
00:53:31,040 --> 00:53:33,800
Speaker 2: at a better school, well they in the college football

1187
00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:34,839
Speaker 2: So like.

1188
00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 5: That already limits you right there to go to a

1189
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 5: better situation because you can't go anywhere else in the SEC.

1190
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 5: So but like again, this is the business side of

1191
00:53:43,120 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 5: things that happens to NFL players all the time. They

1192
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 5: set there, they enter free agency, the market isn't what

1193
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 5: they thought it was. They don't end up getting the

1194
00:53:50,840 --> 00:53:52,640
Speaker 5: deal that they would have gotten had they stayed with

1195
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,120
Speaker 5: their former team or what have you.

1196
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,359
Speaker 4: This is this is just.

1197
00:53:56,360 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 5: Business, because this is a business, and it always has

1198
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 5: been a business for or the record at least.

1199
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, now called benefit from it.

1200
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:02,880
Speaker 7: A little bit.

1201
00:54:03,040 --> 00:54:06,560
Speaker 3: It's just legal, like it's open and we're talking about it.

1202
00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,879
Speaker 2: Okay, one more quarterback topic that we're gonna hit real

1203
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,839
Speaker 2: quick in this segment. Boulder announce that they are retiring

1204
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:19,359
Speaker 2: both Travis Hunter and Shador Sanders jerseys. Okay, I think

1205
00:54:19,360 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter makes sense. He just won the Heisman Trophy.

1206
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,560
Speaker 2: That's the biggest honor you can get the college level.

1207
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 2: Chador feels like his last name is the reason that

1208
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:30,680
Speaker 2: his jersey is getting retired, and honestly, it's just adding

1209
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 2: fuel to the NEPO baby fire. Joe Klattz jersey isn't

1210
00:54:34,920 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 2: even retired at Boulder, and he held a bunch of

1211
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,280
Speaker 2: those quarterback records before Sanders got there from two thousand

1212
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:45,399
Speaker 2: and two to two thousand and five. For klatt, Well,

1213
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:47,560
Speaker 2: they've only retired four jerseys in school history.

1214
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I mean there's part of me that I

1215
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 5: heard I think it was was a Jonas that was

1216
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:56,279
Speaker 5: saying it before before we got on air, that like,

1217
00:54:56,320 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 5: that's not necessarily Dion Sanders's fault.

1218
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 4: But that Colorado.

1219
00:55:00,200 --> 00:55:01,759
Speaker 3: But no, but.

1220
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:08,400
Speaker 5: What so many of guys that have their jerseys retired

1221
00:55:08,400 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 5: at their alma maters. It comes in tandem with team success.

1222
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 5: What have the Buffaloes done? What is Colorado done with

1223
00:55:17,520 --> 00:55:21,000
Speaker 5: Shader Sanders as their quarterback on a national stage?

1224
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 4: Have they Did they get to the College Football Playoff? No?

1225
00:55:24,040 --> 00:55:25,880
Speaker 4: Did they win a championship? No?

1226
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:27,920
Speaker 5: So, like you look at Colorado, who has won a

1227
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:30,480
Speaker 5: championship in program history? Nineteen ninety? I mean it was

1228
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 5: a while ago, but it still the one one. Yeah,

1229
00:55:32,960 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 5: And like I just I don't understand, like retiring a

1230
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 5: jersey is such.

1231
00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 3: A big deal. It's a big deal. So like, yeah,

1232
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:44,560
Speaker 3: he winner makes sense, Like.

1233
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 5: I'm okays, But even then that also, then, I guess

1234
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 5: just speaks to the fact that your program hasn't produced

1235
00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 5: many Heisman winners because there are programs there are, you know,

1236
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 5: fps programs that have multiple Heisman winners, like USC for instance,

1237
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 5: Like if you retired every guy's jersey that wanted Heisman

1238
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 5: for USC, if you have no numbers left, yeah you have, especially.

1239
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:04,680
Speaker 4: If you got to include Reggie Bush.

1240
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 5: Yeah, Like that's my biggest thing is like this is

1241
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:09,440
Speaker 5: kind of telling on yourself.

1242
00:56:09,480 --> 00:56:10,840
Speaker 4: Then as a program, Oh.

1243
00:56:10,719 --> 00:56:11,520
Speaker 3: No, it definitely is.

1244
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:13,399
Speaker 2: I mean they're what the response was, they completely turned

1245
00:56:13,400 --> 00:56:14,280
Speaker 2: our program around.

1246
00:56:14,360 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 3: Like it's just like okay, cool.

1247
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 4: For the last couple of years, but like, is this

1248
00:56:18,960 --> 00:56:22,399
Speaker 4: like the power you.

1249
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 10: Got also, like like you said, the like I think

1250
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 10: the part that you just mentioned is one of the

1251
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:30,480
Speaker 10: key ones. Like for the last two years, most of

1252
00:56:30,480 --> 00:56:32,759
Speaker 10: the time we're talking about retiring somebody's jersey, they can

1253
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,320
Speaker 10: rent a car, like you know what I'm saying, Like Travis,

1254
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 10: like there would be in the NFL.

1255
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,400
Speaker 5: There needs to be staying power or some legacy, like

1256
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 5: some impact that that transcends even been drafted.

1257
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 4: Well, just it could be a blipping program history.

1258
00:56:46,280 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 10: They might go crater right back down in five years

1259
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,839
Speaker 10: now be winning one game again and there and now

1260
00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:51,160
Speaker 10: what now.

1261
00:56:51,200 --> 00:56:52,200
Speaker 7: I guess nobody can wear.

1262
00:56:52,040 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 4: A sea you're supposed to have staying power.

1263
00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 12: It feels weird to have Travis Hunter applied to it

1264
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:58,440
Speaker 12: because like, yeah, that's a that's a good logic. He

1265
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 12: won a Heisman for you, Like that's a good reason

1266
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 12: to retire it. But I think it's just because the

1267
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 12: proximity to Schadure Sanders suddenly just everything's just messy with.

1268
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:11,040
Speaker 5: It and again, You're you're doing this so quickly, like

1269
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 5: they school why technically left yet?

1270
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 12: I just think some schools, like I know USC, like

1271
00:57:18,120 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 12: you know there there was this thing the other year

1272
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 12: about Caleb Williams. Jersey retired at USC pretty quickly. But

1273
00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 12: they do that with everyone who wins a Heisman. So

1274
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,800
Speaker 12: I'm saying, like, so I guess they did. I was like,

1275
00:57:26,880 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 12: if they did it, well, all right, I guess they did.

1276
00:57:28,880 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 12: But yeah, all right, still that makes.

1277
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:31,280
Speaker 3: That makes sense.

1278
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,760
Speaker 12: He yeah, the heisman makes sense. Chaudure is where it

1279
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:37,440
Speaker 12: starts to get giffy and then I think it retire.

1280
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,400
Speaker 3: It's just adding to his NEPO baby fire.

1281
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 13: And Dion said, if his last name wasn't Sanders, we

1282
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 13: wouldn't even be having this conversation, which is honestly right

1283
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 13: because if his last name wasn't Sanders, his jersey wouldn't

1284
00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:51,120
Speaker 13: even been retired in.

1285
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: The first place. Sanders wouldn't be stumping for you to

1286
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 2: have a return to happen. Oh god, yeah, very interesting. Okay,

1321
00:59:23,640 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 2: All Right, happy NFL playoffs, guys. Already one game in

1322
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 2: the books, the Pacers beating basically Yannis because the rest

1323
00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:33,080
Speaker 2: of the Bucks did not show up this morning. And

1324
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,600
Speaker 2: then right now we got Clippers at Nuggets that I

1325
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:38,800
Speaker 2: just see Bonix. They were showing court side.

1326
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 3: Now probably that FoST.

1327
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,320
Speaker 2: Up and I was like, I think they just that

1328
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 2: was bo Probably yeah, Clippers upisode.

1329
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 4: In the Denver sports culture, we love it.

1330
00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,920
Speaker 2: Eight right now, So okay, Denver picking it back up

1331
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 2: in the second half because Clippers.

1332
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:54,440
Speaker 3: Had way really big lead.

1333
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 2: Now we've been saying this all show. I think Wes

1334
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 2: is going to be interesting. The East kind of feels

1335
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,080
Speaker 2: like top seeds are going to take this first round

1336
01:00:02,520 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 2: series and this game right now that we're watching Clippers

1337
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:08,640
Speaker 2: against Nuggets, you have a healthy Clippers team. Kawhi and

1338
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,160
Speaker 2: James Harden are peaking at the perfect time, which has

1339
01:00:12,200 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 2: not happened in Clippers history. They normally get to the

1340
01:00:15,320 --> 01:00:18,880
Speaker 2: playoffs and the Clippers clip is a whole thing. Health

1341
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,120
Speaker 2: and injury has kind of been their achilles heel. And

1342
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,240
Speaker 2: then you got the Nuggets, which is like also a

1343
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:32,040
Speaker 2: very it's just weird. They fired their head coach and GM.

1344
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 4: Like it.

1345
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 2: Makes zero sense to me. Yeah, I think we were

1346
01:00:41,840 --> 01:00:44,120
Speaker 2: live on air on the Herd when that went down

1347
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,720
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago, and it was just like,

1348
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 2: scratch your head, there's something more to the story that

1349
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 2: we don't know about because it doesn't make sense.

1350
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:52,120
Speaker 3: And now you're seeing.

1351
01:00:53,440 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 2: Like Joker like writing up plays on the sideline like

1352
01:00:56,960 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 2: that's he's the one like coming up Nicola Like that's insane.

1353
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 2: So this is this is going to be I think

1354
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:10,400
Speaker 2: the most interesting, very interesting series. Your Clippers should take it,

1355
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,160
Speaker 2: even though I don't know, I don't know they.

1356
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 5: I think that the Clippers like have been seen for

1357
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,880
Speaker 5: a while now is a pretty sneaky kind of dangerous team,

1358
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 5: Like if you wanted to kind of if you wanted to,

1359
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:21,880
Speaker 5: if you wanted to pick the hipster pick for that

1360
01:01:21,960 --> 01:01:23,320
Speaker 5: was going to come out of the West. I mean,

1361
01:01:23,360 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 5: the Clippers can make some noise and the hipster pick,

1362
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 5: they're the one that you know, you don't want to

1363
01:01:28,520 --> 01:01:31,480
Speaker 5: go with the Warriors, the Lakers, or even the Thunder

1364
01:01:31,520 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 5: at this point, like.

1365
01:01:32,360 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 2: A which is crazy because the Warriors are favored against

1366
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 2: number two Houston and they are a young and talented team. Yeah,

1367
01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:43,360
Speaker 2: but again, Warriors have experience. You still have Steph Curry,

1368
01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:45,240
Speaker 2: who's it's one of the greatest.

1369
01:01:44,920 --> 01:01:48,440
Speaker 5: A lot I think every think because again, the biggest

1370
01:01:48,480 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 5: knock on the best team in the West, Thunder, is

1371
01:01:50,600 --> 01:01:53,320
Speaker 5: that they are inexperienced and they they got bounced in

1372
01:01:53,360 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 5: the second round last year.

1373
01:01:54,400 --> 01:01:55,400
Speaker 13: So uh.

1374
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:59,080
Speaker 5: But then you have stalwarts like the Lakers, like the

1375
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 5: Warriors that have all the experience in the world, and

1376
01:02:01,440 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 5: I think that's gonna matter a great deal in the West.

1377
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 5: In the East, I'm very interested to see like the Knicks.

1378
01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like for for.

1379
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:09,560
Speaker 5: As much as we were talking about how it's krobably

1380
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 5: gonna be the Celtics in the Calves thirty minutes in

1381
01:02:13,600 --> 01:02:16,400
Speaker 5: the finals in the Eastern Conference Finals will be going.

1382
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:19,280
Speaker 5: I'm very interested to see, like what knicks, because the

1383
01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 5: Knicks have not been able to stand up to higher

1384
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:25,439
Speaker 5: competition all season, So, like Tyler Patisz was talking about earlier,

1385
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 5: it'd be weird to see them turn it on then

1386
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 5: for the playoffs.

1387
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:28,720
Speaker 4: But then again, that's weird things.

1388
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 5: Weird things have happened, so I don't know, like, is

1389
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:33,160
Speaker 5: there room for some weird stuff to happen in the East,

1390
01:02:33,680 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 5: And even if it does, does it ultimately matter If

1391
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:37,720
Speaker 5: it's still the Celtics and the Calves that come out

1392
01:02:37,960 --> 01:02:40,360
Speaker 5: that are in the Eastern Conference Finals, it'll be Yeah.

1393
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:43,600
Speaker 3: It feels like it's gonna be those two. I'm excited.

1394
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:48,680
Speaker 2: Lakers tea Wolves tonight in LA. I mean, obviously I'm

1395
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,120
Speaker 2: taking the Lakers to take this series. They have such

1396
01:02:51,120 --> 01:02:53,640
Speaker 2: a strong big three. Lebron As playing like he's thirty

1397
01:02:53,680 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 2: not forty, Luca finally found his groove, and Austin Reeves

1398
01:02:56,520 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 2: is just cooking like he is like such unincredible like

1399
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: part of this big three. Yeah, it's gonna be fun.

1435
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:45,840

Speaker 10: lead over the Rangers, the Whites, the Red Sox leading

1442
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:06,479
Speaker 2: Martin, you're listening to Fox Sports Saturday and Alex Curry

1443
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,080
Speaker 2: here with Carmen Vitali. We are broadcasting live from the

1444
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 2: TIA dot Com studios in Los Angeles, and it is

1445
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:14,200
Speaker 2: time for our next guest. She has been the Path

1446
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:17,280
Speaker 2: to the NFL Draft Queen for the last few weeks

1447
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:20,360
Speaker 2: on NFL Network, crunching and crushing all of the numbers.

1448
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 3: She's the best de of the show.

1449
01:05:21,680 --> 01:05:27,080
Speaker 8: Cynthia Freeland, Hi, girls, how are you hi?

1450
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 3: We're doing great.

1451
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 2: Let's dive right into it and let's start with the

1452
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 2: top three draft picks.

1453
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:34,680
Speaker 3: Right at number one with the Titans.

1454
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 2: All reports are pointed they're going to take cam Ward,

1455
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: so it really feels like the draft starts at number

1456
01:05:38,880 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 2: two with the Browns. Who do you think they are

1457
01:05:42,920 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 2: going for?

1458
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:44,440
Speaker 3: And why?

1459
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 8: Well, I feel like I'm believing the Travis Hunter rumors,

1460
01:05:49,280 --> 01:05:51,560
Speaker 8: maybe more than some other people.

1461
01:05:51,640 --> 01:05:52,040
Speaker 9: I don't know.

1462
01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 8: I don't think they're going to go quarterback there. They

1463
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 8: also had the thirty third pick and ten overall picks,

1464
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 8: so they could easily trade back up into the end

1465
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 8: of the first around to get media Jackson Dart or

1466
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,480
Speaker 8: someone else at the end. But I think that they

1467
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 8: view the opportunity to take Travis Hunter generational talent or potential.

1468
01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:12,840
Speaker 8: You know, if you have to say, who's like one

1469
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,000
Speaker 8: of the most likely all pros is maybe him or

1470
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 8: abdual Carter, that it's kind of consensus in that spot.

1471
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:23,320
Speaker 8: So I think that they're probably looking at a track.

1472
01:06:23,440 --> 01:06:25,040
Speaker 8: I hope they do for their sake.

1473
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think in general, when you look

1474
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 5: at the top three picks, it's going to be some

1475
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 5: combination of cam Ward going to the Titans, and then

1476
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 5: either Travis Hunter or Abdul Carter, and then either Travis

1477
01:06:35,600 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 5: Hunter and Abdulcarter in the third spright for the Giants

1478
01:06:40,040 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 5: barring anything crazy. But I want to talk to you

1479
01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:46,640
Speaker 5: about the strength of this draft, which is still on

1480
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,680
Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball, but that defensive line,

1481
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 5: the defensive line class is not only top heavy when

1482
01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,840
Speaker 5: you talk about guys like abdual Carter, but all across

1483
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 5: the line, interior pass rushers, all of that is so

1484
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 5: incredibly deep. I've heard guys tell me like, you can

1485
01:07:01,320 --> 01:07:04,400
Speaker 5: get a starter in the third round with these guys

1486
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 5: who are some of your favorites that you've now watched

1487
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 5: and will probably still go in the first round, and

1488
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 5: other first rounders that we're not talking about not named Abdul.

1489
01:07:12,760 --> 01:07:16,120
Speaker 8: Carter, right, yeah, I'm sick of talking about Abdul Carter.

1490
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:17,920
Speaker 8: And just so you know, just because he wore a

1491
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 8: number eleven and played for Penn stage does not make

1492
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 8: it micros thank you. Let's not let's not get like,

1493
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 8: Let's be nice to the kid and give him opportunity

1494
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 8: to like do well. But setting the bar that high

1495
01:07:30,640 --> 01:07:33,200
Speaker 8: would be extremely difficult. So whatever that.

1496
01:07:33,320 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 6: That's set aside.

1497
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:35,520
Speaker 4: I'm a big.

1498
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 8: Donovan as a rock who from Boston College fan, not

1499
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,920
Speaker 8: just because I was I was gonna say, but I mean,

1500
01:07:40,960 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 8: I'll admit it. But what I like about his game is,

1501
01:07:44,240 --> 01:07:46,720
Speaker 8: you know, I obviously there's a lot of great guys

1502
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 8: that are rated higher, but it's like, you know, when

1503
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,960
Speaker 8: you play for Bill O'Brien, a former pro coach, and

1504
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 8: then you have a nice twitch and you're one of

1505
01:07:55,720 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 8: the few players who hasn't really switched to school. You know,

1506
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 8: all these guys have been to like eighteen different Yeah,

1507
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:03,680
Speaker 8: you get a good chance to see how someone evolves,

1508
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,720
Speaker 8: and when you don't go in the transfer of portal,

1509
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:07,800
Speaker 8: it just gives you a chance to see a little

1510
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 8: bit more of how someone learns. So I feel more

1511
01:08:10,880 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 8: confident in a guy like him than some of these

1512
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 8: other guys who have, like you know, they've been in

1513
01:08:16,080 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 8: like Moore, different schools, the different programs, the different opportunities.

1514
01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:24,160
Speaker 8: And I understand defensive front play is pretty similar across

1515
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 8: all sort of you know, it's not as different as

1516
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:30,639
Speaker 8: let's say, defensive back play. But I still think watching

1517
01:08:30,680 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 8: someone evolve and grow gives me more certainty and less

1518
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 8: volatility than someone who's played all.

1519
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 12: Over the map.

1520
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:42,160
Speaker 2: So did you anticipate any like high first round movement

1521
01:08:42,200 --> 01:08:44,600
Speaker 2: in the draft, either trading up or trading counts. We

1522
01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:46,640
Speaker 2: haven't heard a lot of chatter around that.

1523
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:48,759
Speaker 6: Yeah.

1524
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 8: I think it will depend a little bit on if

1525
01:08:51,439 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 8: some of the sort of what we think is chalk happens.

1526
01:08:54,360 --> 01:08:56,599
Speaker 8: For example, you know there's a couple of tight ends

1527
01:08:56,600 --> 01:08:59,880
Speaker 8: in this class that could throw things a little bit off.

1528
01:08:59,439 --> 01:09:03,200
Speaker 8: I go sooner than we think, Or Will Johnson's one

1529
01:09:03,240 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 8: that's interesting, the corner Michigan. You know, he had an

1530
01:09:06,760 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 8: injury and now people are thinking you could go really high,

1531
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 8: and I'm not sure where he ends up going. But

1532
01:09:12,280 --> 01:09:16,400
Speaker 8: if there's like perhaps a run on corners or a

1533
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 8: run on something that we aren't anticipating. You know, you

1534
01:09:19,880 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 8: can read this defensive front class two ways. One is

1535
01:09:23,320 --> 01:09:25,920
Speaker 8: that there's more substitutes, so you don't need to kind

1536
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 8: of trade up to get the guy you want or

1537
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 8: hammer the guy you want early in the draft. You

1538
01:09:29,840 --> 01:09:32,520
Speaker 8: can get one later that would be an acceptable substitute

1539
01:09:32,640 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 8: or other way, as they're slavers and I really want one,

1540
01:09:35,560 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 8: So it'll it'll depend a bit on that. And I

1541
01:09:38,520 --> 01:09:41,439
Speaker 8: think the ultimate wild card is do we believe that

1542
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,880
Speaker 8: Shador standards is worth you know, taking at eight? Because

1543
01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,360
Speaker 8: the Panthers, who are in the position the best position

1544
01:09:47,400 --> 01:09:50,839
Speaker 8: to trade down, given that they have plenty of needs,

1545
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 8: that would be putting him right ahead of you know,

1546
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 8: if someone wanted to come up and not allow Shador

1547
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,240
Speaker 8: to go to the Saints, they'd have to potentially book

1548
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,800
Speaker 8: at the Panthers, and that'd be an area where you know,

1549
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 8: you could maybe the Steelers pop up and get him.

1550
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 8: I'm not I'm not sure how keen anyone is, but

1551
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 8: you know it's possible given their other draft equity and

1552
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 8: other position.

1553
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:12,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love that.

1554
01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 5: It's going to be very interesting to see where Sir goes,

1555
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:19,920
Speaker 5: because I've never really seen opinions that are so all

1556
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:22,439
Speaker 5: over the place when it comes to one player like

1557
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,959
Speaker 5: given and you know, of course because he's a quarterback

1558
01:10:25,240 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 5: and that you have to factor that in and they

1559
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 5: rise and based on need and all that other stuff too.

1560
01:10:29,560 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 5: But I want to talk about running backs, Cynthia, because

1561
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 5: I want to know where you think Ashton Genty is

1562
01:10:36,680 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 5: going to go if he is indeed the first quarterback

1563
01:10:39,320 --> 01:10:41,639
Speaker 5: to go, And do you have any concern with taking

1564
01:10:41,720 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 5: a quarter a running back high, especially after we've seen

1565
01:10:46,600 --> 01:10:49,720
Speaker 5: good running backs put on good teams can make all

1566
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 5: the difference in the world. Uh, i' llah the Eagles, Ravens,

1567
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:55,840
Speaker 5: all that kind of stuff. Where do you see Ashton going?

1568
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 8: I don't think it gets past the Raiders, that's right. Sure,

1569
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 8: I don't mind taking a running back high if you

1570
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 8: have a vision for him, just like I don't mind

1571
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,760
Speaker 8: taking a quarterback maybe other people don't like as much

1572
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 8: as hem Bonix. If you have a vision for him,

1573
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 8: you just need you need to have the vision. And

1574
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 8: the other thing is is, you know, I'm an analytics person,

1575
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 8: wheop were like, oh, you hate running backs, never take

1576
01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 8: one in the first round. I don't believe in any

1577
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:24,639
Speaker 8: of that. I believe you need to know where your

1578
01:11:24,760 --> 01:11:27,200
Speaker 8: cap sits, and you need to know how much you're

1579
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 8: going to pay. I don't think you should overpay for

1580
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:32,240
Speaker 8: any position, but running back is one where on their

1581
01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 8: second or third contract. That's where really the Eagles saw

1582
01:11:35,920 --> 01:11:39,799
Speaker 8: the biggest uptick from Saquon Barkley. It wasn't about drafting

1583
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 8: or for going in the draft. It was they were

1584
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 8: paying Saquon Barkley the same as Darnell Mooney, and that's

1585
01:11:45,320 --> 01:11:47,560
Speaker 8: where the opportunity really existed.

1586
01:11:48,479 --> 01:11:53,480
Speaker 2: Okay, so there's a few teams that could target a quarterback.

1587
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,360
Speaker 3: That could be Raiders, could be Saints, could be Steelers.

1588
01:11:57,320 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 2: How many quarterbacks do you see going in the first round,

1589
01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,479
Speaker 2: So you know, I.

1590
01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:07,679
Speaker 8: Would imagine, you know, it's going to be weird because

1591
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,680
Speaker 8: three feels very safe. But you know there's always a

1592
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 8: team who, like if I were a betting person, which

1593
01:12:14,280 --> 01:12:15,640
Speaker 8: I'm not because I work for the league, and then

1594
01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 8: it's been there no fun, you know, fun, but I

1595
01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 8: would I would, Yeah, I would say four because there's

1596
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 8: such a big because it's such an expensive position that

1597
01:12:25,439 --> 01:12:28,280
Speaker 8: you're smart to trade back into the first round. Even

1598
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 8: if it's not a guy that you're like super super

1599
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 8: super keen on. The difference between thirty three where the

1600
01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:37,120
Speaker 8: Browns are, and like you know, thirty two where the

1601
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 8: Eagles are, is very very very small in terms of

1602
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 8: what you have to pick wise, but that optional for

1603
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 8: the fifth year and the ability to be able to

1604
01:12:47,120 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 8: longer with a quarterback, which they're going to be like

1605
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 8: sixty million soon, you know. So it's going to be

1606
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 8: like a sixty million dollar position soon, so you might

1607
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:56,320
Speaker 8: as well if you're going to take a swing. The

1608
01:12:56,320 --> 01:12:58,280
Speaker 8: Browns would be stupid to pick him at thirty three

1609
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,280
Speaker 8: if they could go to thirty two and not have

1610
01:13:00,360 --> 01:13:02,719
Speaker 8: to give up more than whatever that Jimmy Johnson trade

1611
01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 8: chart says is the amount.

1612
01:13:05,320 --> 01:13:09,559
Speaker 2: Okay, go okay real quick before we let you go.

1613
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: Any sleeper picks we should watch out for, you.

1614
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 8: Know, sleeper picks. I think the sleeper or not, but

1615
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,120
Speaker 8: I think that we see three tight ends go in

1616
01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:23,760
Speaker 8: this first round.

1617
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 9: That would be one.

1618
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:26,960
Speaker 4: Who was that that you said?

1619
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 3: Three tight ends? Who are the three tight ends? Are

1620
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:32,360
Speaker 3: we losing you?

1621
01:13:32,400 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 4: In?

1622
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 3: And out?

1623
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 6: There we go?

1624
01:13:34,400 --> 01:13:34,599
Speaker 9: Yeah?

1625
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 8: There we go back?

1626
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: Okay, who are the three tight ends that you have

1627
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 2: going in the first round.

1628
01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:43,320
Speaker 8: Give but you're definitely going to get Penn State. You're

1629
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 8: definitely gets the Tyler Warren from Penn State and Loveland

1630
01:13:46,360 --> 01:13:49,160
Speaker 8: from Michigan. And then I think Mason Taylor goes from

1631
01:13:49,240 --> 01:13:51,639
Speaker 8: obviously from as you may.

1632
01:13:52,360 --> 01:13:53,280
Speaker 4: I know I had him.

1633
01:13:53,320 --> 01:13:59,240
Speaker 5: I did five guys in the first rounds okay or

1634
01:13:59,280 --> 01:13:59,800
Speaker 5: Mason Taylor.

1635
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I love this.

1636
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 11: I know.

1637
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,240
Speaker 2: We were with Joy last weekend and the nerves and

1638
01:14:05,280 --> 01:14:08,519
Speaker 2: excitement on her face leading up to the family, to

1639
01:14:08,600 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 2: the family all being together for this draft is like,

1640
01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:15,120
Speaker 2: we love it, Cynthia, we love you. Thank you so

Speaker 2: you got.

1643
01:14:19,240 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 8: It and you're also right. I think definitely Mason Graham

1644
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 8: in the first two. So I would put the number

1645
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:26,000
Speaker 8: of Masons in the first round at too.

1646
01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:28,360

1674
01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 2: start with Rory McRoy completing his career Grand Slam. It

1675
01:15:44,800 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 2: took him eleven years to get that final biggest win

1676
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,080
Speaker 2: of them all. The Masters and even said I started

1677
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:53,360
Speaker 2: to wonder if it would ever be my time, and.

1678
01:15:53,280 --> 01:15:56,280
Speaker 3: He did it last Weekend player. Ever, I believe it

1679
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:57,559
Speaker 3: was like you could do.

1680
01:15:57,560 --> 01:16:00,360
Speaker 2: The career me what it meant to him just ropping

1681
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,640
Speaker 2: to his knees and crying on the green once he

1682
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,519
Speaker 2: made that playoff put, Like it's.

1683
01:16:04,439 --> 01:16:06,519
Speaker 4: Just it was cool, like Scotti Scheffler.

1684
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:08,559
Speaker 5: I met him with the green jacket and like all

1685
01:16:08,600 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 5: it was.

1686
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,960
Speaker 2: It was it was a moment, like it's crazy, like

1687
01:16:11,960 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 2: because okay, so Masters were twenty twenty five, but like

1688
01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:19,920
Speaker 2: started with the US Open twenty eleven, PGA Championship twenty twelve,

1689
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,000
Speaker 2: twenty fourteen, the Open Championship twenty fourteen, so it took

1690
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 2: him eleven years in between.

1691
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,599
Speaker 5: Did you see that mail now all across the UK

1692
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:29,000
Speaker 5: is being stamped with a congratulatory message, you know how

1693
01:16:29,040 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 5: like it's it's stamped like when you send a letter, Yeah,

1694
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:35,439
Speaker 5: and it's got the actual stamp and then the letter

1695
01:16:35,520 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 5: is then stamped with like where it came from and

1696
01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:40,400
Speaker 5: like that it's done within the country. No, like no,

1697
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:41,840
Speaker 5: I mean like that's the thing where it's like it's

1698
01:16:41,960 --> 01:16:43,519
Speaker 5: it's coming from whatever town.

1699
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:45,240
Speaker 4: It's like that's what it's passing through so like.

1700
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 5: Mail gets stamped, right, there is a stamp that congratulates Rory.

1701
01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:52,559
Speaker 5: Oh going around like so now the postal service in

1702
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:55,599
Speaker 5: the UK is stamping congratulatory messages for Rory. I don't

1703
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:57,680
Speaker 5: know how long it's gonna yeah, go on, but I

1704
01:16:57,960 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 5: saw a picture of that online.

1705
01:16:58,960 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 4: I thought that was really cool.

1706
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:03,799
Speaker 5: It was congratulations or mc mclory on a career grand Slam, which.

1707
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:04,760
Speaker 4: Is a big It's a big deal.

1708
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 3: It is a huge deal.

1709
01:17:05,880 --> 01:17:07,800
Speaker 5: I've got a little different direction of this because I

1710
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 5: I wrote something that gave me good feels let's go,

1711
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:16,080
Speaker 5: which never happens. I very much never read my writing,

1712
01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 5: but I keep finding myself saying it over and over again.

1713
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 5: And you've, Alex, You've been with me through a lot

1714
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:27,000
Speaker 5: of this. I don't the Bears have never deserved the

1715
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,360
Speaker 5: benefit of the doubt from me. The Bear I've never

1716
01:17:29,439 --> 01:17:30,800
Speaker 5: been optimistic.

1717
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:32,840
Speaker 3: Expectations.

1718
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 4: I've always tempered expectations.

1719
01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:35,320
Speaker 2: No, we're not.

1720
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,679
Speaker 5: I'm not not tempering expectations like I don't. I don't

1721
01:17:39,680 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 5: want to assign playoffs or anything, especially when they play

1722
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,599
Speaker 5: in the NFC nor But Alex, this is the first

1723
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 5: time I'm actually optimistic about the Chicago Bears. Okay, it's well,

1724
01:17:51,400 --> 01:17:53,920
Speaker 5: they've done every They've made. All the moves that they've

1725
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,439
Speaker 5: now made, starting with the Ben Johnson higher are things

1726
01:17:56,439 --> 01:17:58,160
Speaker 5: that I've been begging them to do for years at

1727
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,559
Speaker 5: this point. So you go and you get the high priced,

1728
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,640
Speaker 5: highly touted head coach like that was at least defensible

1729
01:18:05,680 --> 01:18:08,320
Speaker 5: at the very least. You didn't get cute with it.

1730
01:18:08,360 --> 01:18:09,920
Speaker 5: You just went out, you got the best guy you

1731
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 5: possibly could, yes.

1732
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:11,439
Speaker 3: Check.

1733
01:18:12,479 --> 01:18:15,960
Speaker 5: Then you go into before you even get to free agency,

1734
01:18:16,200 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 5: you trade for not one but two offensive linemen. Yes,

1735
01:18:19,240 --> 01:18:22,280
Speaker 5: one of which has won four championships, the other of

1736
01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,880
Speaker 5: which has played at a Pro Bowl level under the

1737
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 5: guy you just hired to be your head coach.

1738
01:18:26,680 --> 01:18:28,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you are then building.

1739
01:18:28,240 --> 01:18:30,080
Speaker 5: And then and then in free agency you get a

1740
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:35,200
Speaker 5: veteran center, a really smart veteran center Stanford grad Drew Dolman,

1741
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,400
Speaker 5: to take stuff off of the plate of Caleb Williams

1742
01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 5: as you build him, build up his foundation, and you

1743
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,680
Speaker 5: do things the right way. And then you get on

1744
01:18:43,680 --> 01:18:45,400
Speaker 5: the other side of the line. I mean, they just

1745
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 5: they're building from the outside in. They have hired experience

1746
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 5: to Ben Johnson's staff. They are spending money wisely and

1747
01:18:53,960 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 5: putting a lot of resources into this team. Finally to

1748
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 5: the point where every single thing they've done is at

1749
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,920
Speaker 5: the very least defensible and it's what they should have done,

1750
01:19:02,120 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 5: which is not something I've really ever been able to

1751
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 5: say about the Chicago Bears in my lifetime, as someone

1752
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:09,920
Speaker 5: who grew up wearing a Bears ring on my finger,

1753
01:19:10,040 --> 01:19:12,880
Speaker 5: joking that I was married to the game. Like, I

1754
01:19:13,080 --> 01:19:15,040
Speaker 5: did not take that Bears ring off until I got

1755
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:16,120
Speaker 5: the job with the Buccaneers.

1756
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 3: So you're telling me there's a.

1757
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 4: Chance, I'm just saying I think they're going to be

1758
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 4: a lot better. Oh and I'm actually optimistic.

1759
01:19:22,760 --> 01:19:25,840
Speaker 3: That was huge, Carmen. I know, I'm really proud of you.

1760
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:26,400
Speaker 7: Thank you.

01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 5: I Like I said, I'm not saying playoffs, okay, I

1762
01:19:30,720 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 5: am not saying super Bowl.

1763
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:33,640
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm not saying winning the division.

1764
01:19:33,400 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 5: Yet because you play with three other very good teams

1765
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:37,120
Speaker 5: in your division.

1766
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:37,559
Speaker 4: Yep.

1767
