Speaker 2: a big game against a good team. Should be at

10
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: full strength. Aaron Gordon TBD as usual. That's a huge one. Obviously,

11
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: we have March Madness, You've got the small conference tournaments

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,839

Speaker 2: got the NFL trade and you know, Rob G.

Speaker 3: I'm so excited to talk to Robb G.

15
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: After Daniel Kelly just eviscerated future Raider quarterback Fernando.

16
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 3: Mendoza, just tore him to shreds.

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: Obviously, social media was like, come on, why are you

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 2: guys platforming this dude? Give me a break, and they

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: only want a references. Caleb Williams miss he did have

20
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: a lot of hits.

21
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 3: That's fair. It's very fair, and I don't know. We're

22
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: not gonna start there that.

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: We got to start with the big NFL trade that

24
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 2: went down early on Wednesday, the Kansas City Chiefs.

25
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 4: In the immortal words.

26
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: Of I believe it was Oh, I hope I don't

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 2: mess this up? Rob was it Michael Rae Richardson, the

28
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: former Nick Nett back in the eighties who said the

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: ship be sinking? Because the ship be sinking in Kansas City.

30
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 2: The Chiefs, who historically have gotten off cornerbacks and it

31
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: hasn't bit them in the rear end. They have no

32
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: way to pay Trent McDuffie, their two time a home pro,

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 2: so they trade him to the Rams of all teams,

34
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: the loaded Rams, and in exchange they get the Rams

35
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: twenty ninth pick in the first round, twenty ninth pick

36
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: in the first round of this draft. They also get

37
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: a third next year, a fifth, and a sixth, So

38
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 2: you could call it for picks.

39
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: It seems like a lot.

40
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: But again, twenty ninth into the first round, I've got

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 2: a lot to say here.

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 3: We could let's just start with this, okay.

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: So it's interesting you go to the combine now famously

44
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: Snead and McVeigh turn their nose up at the combine. Right,

45
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,959
Speaker 2: they do their scouting from home. They send the rest

46
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: of the staff to kind of break things down. Okay,

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: the staff comes back and within a day they have

48
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: determined we need to go get a premium cornerback.

49
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 3: Now, again, I don't want to act like.

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: This draft has crap cornerbacks, but the Rams were clearly

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: not going to get the guy they wanted. Perhaps at

52
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 2: sixteen they didn't see anyone of value at twenty nine

53
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 2: that could step in and help what is a Super

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 2: Bowl ready team, Right, So they go out and they

55
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: trade for McDuffie. Now, as many people have connected the dots, McDuffie,

56
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 2: of course played at Washington. The current Rams defensive coach

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: is Jimmy Lake, who was his coach at Washington. They

58
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 2: know each other well, good connection there. McDuffie will slide

59
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,519
Speaker 2: in outside, where he played a lot last year for

60
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. He is an elite slot cornerback and he

61
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: allows Carnell Lake to drift back to his safety position

62
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: where he's kind of roaming and doing his thing in

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 2: the back end of the secondary. This is just a

64
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: massive get for the Rams. Do you guys remember how

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: bad Bryce Young cooked them twice last year. I forget

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: the skinny kid, admit, I think it's an Annuel Forbes.

67
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: They got in from Washington just they were desperate. They're like, oh,

68
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 2: let's go bring him in. And he had like a

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 2: couple decent weeks and then he's getting roasted.

70
00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 3: I have to check.

71
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: I don't know how many plays he was on the field,

72
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 2: how many snaps he was on the field for against Seattle,

73
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: but it wasn't many. And so this is a this

74
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 2: is a plug and play guy, and you still have

75
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: the sixteenth pick. Folks, go look at the Rams if

76
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: you have pro football focus, go look at the Rams positions. Okay,

77
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: rob they're set at running back, right, they got Korum

78
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: and Kiren Williams. Obviously, they have an elite quarterback who

79
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 2: just won the MVP. Tight End they were running three

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 2: tight end sets regularly last year. They're set outside Pooka

81
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: and Devonte Adams. That's maybe the top three to one

82
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 2: to two punch receiver, maybe one, I don't, depending on

83
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,839
Speaker 2: what you want. Okay, offensive line very good. I think

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: that's where they target the six. Is it the thirteenth pick? Yeah,

85
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,119
Speaker 2: thirteenth pick I think they target to a guy who

86
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: can just play guard, toggle between guard tackle. And then

87
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 2: if you look at the defense, their defensive front is elite,

88
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,600
Speaker 2: led by verse and young guys, and they've got an

89
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: awesome front. The linebackers led by Landman, are terrific. Now

90
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: you've got excellent cornerbacks, okay, and then you look at

91
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 2: the secondary and on the back end you've got Lake folks.

92
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: The Rams are loaded. They are the best team in

93
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: the NFL. There's a reason Vegas said we got to

94
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 2: make them the Super Bowl favorites.

95
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: If not.

96
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 2: Now, the big question is what do we do on

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 2: special teams That my guest will be their focus in

98
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 2: free agency. They're gonna have to level up there because

99
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 2: it cost them many times all season. Of course, the

100
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 2: muffed punt against Seattle was just devastating, But overall, I

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: think there's a home run for the Rams rob for

102
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I think it's like a solid double or

103
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 2: a triple. I do think this is a signed to

104
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: Chiefs fans. Hey, guys, this is one of our four

105
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: best players and we got to move off him.

106
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 3: They don't have any blue chip.

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 2: Talent Travis Kelce once he retires, I mean, what are

108
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: we looking at? Patrick Mahomes, Creed Humphrey and Chris Jones.

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: That's the nucleus of the team. That's all they got.

110
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 2: Gone are the days. It's funny. I went back and

111
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 2: looked rob at their all the guys. They've lost, all

112
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: the All Pros and superstars they've had back in the

113
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 2: day when they were making Super Bowl runs regularly. Kelsey

114
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: obviously will retire. Everybody expects Tyreek Hill. They move off him.

115
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: Sharvarius Ward, who was excellent. They you know they couldn't

116
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: pay him, They moved off him. Lugarious Sneed not quite

117
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 2: an All Pro, but very very good. He flopped in Tennessee.

118
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: Now McDuffie, Joe Tooney who they move off off On

119
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: the line. They just keep hemorrhaging their blue chip talent

120
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 2: and they do not have a good roster. Once free

121
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: agency's done, we can rank the rosters in the AFC West.

122
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: I think it's pretty clear Broncos and Chargers are one

123
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 2: to two, depending on which one you wanta which way

124
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: you want to go. Probably Bronco's narrowly one, although I

125
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 2: think the Chargers have the higher end quarterback, which it

126
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 2: would make them my pick in the division. And frankly,

127
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: Rob G's Raiders are not that far behind the Chiefs.

128
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 3: Guys.

129
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 2: I know, the Chiefs have Mahomes and read it and

130
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: that's why everybody loves them. But if we're just looking

131
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 2: at blue chip talent, where if they hit the market

132
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 2: there might be a bidding war, I mean other than

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 2: Mahomes and Cred Humphy and Chris Jones. Chris Jones, by

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: the way, he's not the superstar he was. He's declining

135
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: a little bit, as you do with age. I don't know,

136
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 2: I don't think the Raiders are that far behind the

137
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs in terms of talent. Now, you know, new coaching staff,

138
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback, they're not gonna they're not gonna catch the

139
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 2: Chiefs and wins.

140
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 3: But Rob, overall, this is your division. What do you

141
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 3: what do you make of this one?

146
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 5: Well, first off from the Rams perspective, home run right,

147
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 5: you know, FM picks. They've been saying that for years now.

148
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 5: I think I've saw a stat that said they've only

149
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 5: made one first round pick as a franchise since like

150
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,400
Speaker 5: twenty seventeen, which is crazy. And this is not a

151
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 5: team that has been you know, down in the dumps,

152
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 5: you know, struggling to be relevant for years. Like no, no, no,

153
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,800
Speaker 5: they are a perennial super Bowl caliber team and they've

154
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 5: determined that the best way for them to win in

155
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 5: today's NFL is to not try to load up on

156
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 5: first round picks and things like that, like, hey, no,

157
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 5: we're going to trade it for established players, guys who

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: we think can help us win right now, and then

159
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 5: we're going to be extra focused on later round picks,

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 5: third round picks, fourth round Pukuno who I think it

161
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 5: was a fifth round pick. Like, they've hit on a

162
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 5: lot of late round guys, which is allowed them to

163
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 5: be more aggressive.

164
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: With their first round picks.

165
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: And given that this time last year, Matthew Stafford was

166
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 5: ready to retire FL like, and there was rumors that

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 5: he's either gonna retires and go to New York Giants,

168
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 5: right like, that was the thing. Hey, if you're not

169
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 5: happy with the money we're offering, go see what's out

170
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 5: there for you. Multiple outlets said that if he doesn't

171
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 5: even retire. He was gonna end up with the Giants.

172
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 5: He has some tie with his brother in law or

173
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 5: something like that, and ultimately he decided, you know what,

174
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 5: the Giants kind of suck. The stadium has been known

175
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 5: to take acls from down here.

176
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 4: Everybody.

177
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: Let me stay in warm weather, California. Let me stay

178
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 5: with the ram Sean McVay run it back.

179
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: See what happens. And he goes and wins the MVP.

180
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 5: So it makes a hell of a lot of sense

181
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 5: for them to say, hey, we don't know how much

182
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 5: longer Matthew Stafford's gonna play. As of now, we do

183
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 5: not have a contingency plan in place for the era

184
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 5: after Matthew Stafford.

185
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 4: So while we have him, let's go for it. Like

186
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: this is not the.

187
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 5: NBA where you're saying, hey, if we win one, we

188
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 5: might win two, or the next three, we might win four,

189
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,439
Speaker 5: the next seven whatever like that does not happen in football, Like,

190
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: get get that out of your mind, because you know,

191
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 5: talk about the Patriots dynasty. The Patriots, I believe, what

192
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 5: like ten years without winning a Super Bowl. Yeah, if

193
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 5: memories from your right you mentioned the Chiefs will get

194
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 5: it down a second, they had this run where they

195
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 5: were incredible Super Bowl every single season and now they're

196
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 5: six and eleven and they're purging their roster again. So

197
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: this idea that you're going to stay at the top

198
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 5: of the mountain, top in the running for Super Bowls

199
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 5: year in year out does not happen in the NFL.

200
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 5: If you win one, that's a big deal. They already

201
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 5: won one. If they win two in the span of

202
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,719
Speaker 5: less than a decade, that's huge historically in football. So

203
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 5: shout outs to the Rams for doing everything they can't

204
00:09:30,760 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 5: even to get this done. As far as the Chiefs go,

205
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 5: I mean, you kind of stole a lot of my thunder.

206
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 5: Just look at the guys they've gotten rid of over

207
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 5: the year that you mentioned it one more time, just

208
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 5: all pros. McDuffie, Ward Hill, Tooney, Matthew, Pro Bowlers, Orlando Brown,

209
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 5: Junior Lugerius Need was really good. I don't know how

210
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,559
Speaker 5: he didn't make a Pro Bowl. But like they are

211
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: in the business, it seems like of doing everything they

212
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 5: can to ruin the prime years of Patrick Mahomes and

213
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: in my for my money, for my money, this is

214
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 5: why his stats have steadily declined year in year out.

215
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 5: I know that they made the Super Bowl. A couple

216
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,840
Speaker 5: of years ago, they were in the running for a

217
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 5: three p And when you win, what they say, winning

218
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 5: is the best cologne, right because it covers up all

219
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 5: the wards, It covers up all the realities of what

220
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 5: you're dealing with.

221
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 4: The Kansas City.

222
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 5: Chiefs have not been an elite team for several years now.

223
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,839
Speaker 5: There's a reason why smart people sugg as yourself before

224
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 5: last season picked them to miss the playoffs outright, because

225
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 5: we saw two years ago they were winning by the

226
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: skin of their teeth and other teams were finding ways

227
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 5: to lose games more so than the Chiefs finding ways

228
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 5: to win them. And now what you're asking Patrickhomes to

229
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 5: do again, which he's already done once and I don't

230
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 5: know if he can keep doing it as he gets

231
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: older coming off of a devastating injury, is Hey, this

232
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 5: roster is depleted our best guys right now. Looks like

233
00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 5: we massive overpay for Carloftis at the DN spot. Jones

234
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 5: is a great player, you know, twenty five percent of

235
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 5: the time because he just doesn't have the motor like.

236
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 4: I don't blame him. He's he's been successful, he's tired.

237
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 5: You know he's rich. It is what it is, Travis Kelce.

238
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 5: You don't the numbers for you. Anybody who covers football

239
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 5: will tell you he's lost more than a step. And

240
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:22,079
Speaker 5: it's looking increasingly likely that Xavier Worthy is a speed

241
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 5: demon who doesn't do any much much else and their

242
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 5: best receiver may get suspended again potentially right Like, so, Patrick,

243
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 5: here's what you're working with. We were you know, we

244
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,439
Speaker 5: just lost we lost an offensive lineman last year. You

245
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 5: lost your best cornerback with three of the last five

246
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 5: years now, and we'll bring back Travis Kelsey. You know,

247
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 5: we'll make it work for you like no bro, like

248
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 5: you're When you have a talent like Patrick Mahomes, similar

249
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 5: to what the Rams are doing with with Matthew Stafford,

250
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 5: it behooves you to do everything you can to keep

251
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 5: this roster together, even if it's only for two, three,

252
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 5: four years and not five, six, seven years, because you

253
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 5: don't know how long this window's gonna stay open, Like

254
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 5: you were tricked into thinking this window was gonna be

255
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 5: open forever because.

256
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: You had one magical run to the Super Bowl two

257
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: years ago.

258
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 5: It's very similar like what happened with the Warriors and

259
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 5: Steph Curry twenty twenty two.

260
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 3: It's like, hey Celtic two.

261
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, the two timelines thing work. No, it doesn't.

262
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,560
Speaker 5: You had legs break your way. You were able to

263
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 5: capitalize on it. You want a championship, good on you

264
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 5: never take away from you. But then you saw the

265
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 5: immediately after that and the years following it fell apart quickly.

266
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 5: And that's what's happening to these chiefs.

267
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 2: The glass half full guys are like, oh, well, we

268
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:43,320
Speaker 2: still got my homes and read. I'm just gonna remind everybody, Rob,

269
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: there's no guarantee. Patrick Mahomes starts Week one and I'm

270
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 2: almost certain he's gonna miss at least two, probably four games.

271
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: Now what are we looking at? And here's my thing

272
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 2: about the trade getting all these picks. They got one

273
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: third next year, which is good, Rob. This year's draft

274
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 2: is weak. He've been over this. It's not as good

275
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 2: as next year's draft. It's just a very puzzling move.

276
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,000
Speaker 2: I was looking at some of the pressure rates. So

277
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 2: historically Spagnolo has to dial up the blitz. Loves to

278
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 2: blitz get the pressure. They were thirteenth in pressure rate

279
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,720
Speaker 2: despite still blitzing a lot they can't even get to

280
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: the quarterback. Now, that could be part of the reason

281
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 2: why McDuffie didn't add like his weakest year. He was

282
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 2: still very good, but it's like, oh, damn, you're getting

283
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 2: they can't afford anybody.

284
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 3: I don't know.

285
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: I feel like maybe I'm being way way down on

286
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,000
Speaker 2: the Chiefs Rob. I don't think this is a double

287
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,960
Speaker 2: digit win team. I'm gonna you know, we're headed toward

288
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: no playoffs for them again. Now if they package all

289
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: their picks somehow go up and get that's the thing.

290
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 2: I don't actually, let me take that back.

291
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 3: I don't think they're one.

292
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 2: They're not Jeremiah Love away from being a ten or

293
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: eleven win team. That's just not how it works.

294
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: So huge trade for the Rams.

295
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 2: We're still waiting on Kyler Murray, although I all signs

296
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 2: are kind of pointing to the Vikings.

297
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: But we don't need to talk Kyler Murray again.

298
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 2: I do quickly want to talk about this Fernando Mendoza

299
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 2: bashing by Daniel Kelly Robb as a race. You did

300
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: it give you pause at all to be like, well,

301
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: maybe we do pass on him? Or is that just

302
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 2: not not even a thought for you.

303
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 5: No, it's not a thought because you know, you and

304
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 5: I have had this conversation several times, you know, since

305
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 5: the season has ended. In college football, Ferananda Mendoza is

306
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 5: not a generational prospect. He's just not like he's a

307
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 5: very fine quarterback. He wanted a high clip in college.

308
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 5: But you know, he doesn't have the traits that you

309
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 5: would say, hey, no matter where we put him, he

310
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 5: is going to.

311
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: Be a top flight quarterback.

312
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: And if you don't believe me, you know, listen to

313
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 5: the Daniel Kelly interview yesterday. You don't believe him, check

314
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 5: out the Athletic all right. They just posted something on

315
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: Tuesday night or me Weden's early Wednesday morning NFL executives

316
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 5: predicting the top ten picks in the draft. Right one Anonymous,

317
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 5: of course that was anonymous says quote, I think everyone

318
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 5: just assumes they go that way, but adds this, I

319
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 5: don't think he's sure fire at all. I like the

320
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 5: Alabama guy, ty Simpson, yes.

321
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 4: Better, And that's not a crazy take because.

322
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 5: Ty Simpson didn't wasn't as nowhere near as productive as

323
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 5: Mendoza on the field. But if you're looking at traits

324
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 5: and measurables and arm talent and you know, processing it

325
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 5: like you could make a case that Ty Simpson projects

326
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 5: as a better long term option than for now. I

327
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 5: Don't'm not going to buy eager lunch over.

Speaker 3: But wait, what would you do if you don't go

333
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 3: mendos at one?

334
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 5: I mean, if you could trade down, he would trade down.

335
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 5: I don't think there's anyone to trade up for, so

336
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 5: that makes it a problem.

337
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 2: I just I don't think he's Bryce Young or this

338
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 2: is Bryce Young part two. But look at how badly

339
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: it took the Panthers to get out of that hole

340
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 2: that dug themselves by giving up DJ Moore and moving

341
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 2: up DJ Moore and to get Bryce Young, who I

342
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 2: can't believe there wasn't more hullabaloo about Bryce Young being

343
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: small and ken he survive in the NFL. It was

344
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: just like, oh, I think, honestly, I think the Bryce

345
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 2: Young thing killed small quarterbacks. Kyler Murray's done. Come on,

346
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: no real market for him on the trades I don't know.

347
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: Mendoz is a big quarterback, but I just think if

348
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 2: you're not sold, like it's a Caleb Williams type, I

349
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 2: don't think people are trading up.

350
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 3: Do you think anybody would trade.

351
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 4: Up for no? No way. I mean we talked off

352
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: the air.

353
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 5: I think a couple of days ago, ESPN published something

354
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 5: where I think it's a oh God, was named Matt Moore.

355
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 5: That is the NFL Scott. He's been on the show before.

356
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 5: They said, hey, list the top if you were to

357
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,160
Speaker 5: rank the quarterbacks of the last like seven eight years

358
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 5: in terms of coming out of college, where would they rank?

359
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: And you know, and it was Caleb Williams was one.

360
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 5: I think Trevor Lawrence was number two, you know, down

361
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 5: the list, and I think he had Mendoza tenth. And

362
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 5: that wasn't crazy, you know what I mean? Like that,

363
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 5: that seemed kind of logical, like he's benefiting from a

364
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 5: very weak quarterback class and he's and a fitting from

365
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 5: the fact that just like your Jetropolitans a couple of

366
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 5: years ago is Zach Wilson. It's like, hey, we need

367
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 5: a quarterback. It doesn't matter what it takes. Whoever is

368
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 5: there that's the guy we got to take. And the

369
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 5: Raiders right now, according to all the reporting, are hell

370
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 5: bent on taking a quarterback, even if he's not the

371
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 5: best player, the fifth best, the tenth best, even a

372
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 5: first round talent. They're like, hey, we need a quarterback

373
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 5: that badly, We're gonna take him number one.

374
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

375
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,479
Speaker 2: One other significant thing that happened in the NFL RB

376
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:32,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure you saw this was the Patriots released Stefon

377
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 2: Diggs after just one season. Okay, Stefan Diggs just getting

378
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 2: dropped left and right, Cardi B. I think it's Cardi

379
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: B who dumped him right, got kicked to the curb.

380
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: They were supposedly engaged. I mean, the guy's got and

381
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 2: again to each his own, but he's run into problems

382
00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 2: everywhere he went. The guy just seems like a jerk

383
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 2: the way he allegedly treats women. I mean, the lawsuits

384
00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,400
Speaker 2: like he was a twenty six point five million dollar

385
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 2: cap hit, and the Patriots were just like, given his

386
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,080
Speaker 2: off season nonsense, let's get rid of him. But I

387
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 2: think the more interesting part is, first of all, I

388
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: don't you really have to have a strong locker room

389
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 2: to go after that guy. Remember there's a famous interview.

390
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: I think it was like one of these like social

391
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 2: media things in Minnesota. They were saying, like which player

392
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 2: would you least trust your sister or girlfriend around, and

393
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 2: multiple vikings were like Stefan Digs, that's not good, that's terrible.

394
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 2: And now Diggs has multiple kids with multiple women, which

395
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 2: is whatever, Hey, you're gonna do your thing. But like

396
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: he's got the lawsuit, he can't stick in any locker room.

397
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 2: It's just a nightmare. They now have a huge opening

398
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 2: of receiver. Do we reinvigorate the AJ Brown trade talk?

399
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: Because that is the most logical name unless there's someone

400
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,120
Speaker 2: else I'm missing round.

401
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 5: If it was up to me, I'll go for AJ Brown,

402
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: you know, because if I'm gonna pay top dollar for

403
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 5: a number one receiver, he better have number one receiver

404
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,439
Speaker 5: type talent. And AJ Brown for all of his you know,

405
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,399
Speaker 5: diva tendencies if you want to call it that, he

406
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 5: is in terms of talent, like a top five wide

407
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,400
Speaker 5: receiver talent in football, Like there's a few guys who

408
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,400
Speaker 5: are that high weight, speed that can you know, dominate

409
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 5: a game the way he can. And he has a

410
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 5: relationship with Rabel, the one that I keep hearing, which

411
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 5: kind of surprises me. Maybe I'm not watching enough tape.

412
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 5: Have you heard the rumors that are all linking Alec

413
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: Pierce to the to New England Patriots at like a

414
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,680
Speaker 5: thirty million dollars a year. Yeah, thirty million dollars a

415
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 5: year for Alec Pierce rid Now, I think. I think

416
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 5: Alec Pierce is a fine wide receiver. I think he's

417
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 5: very solid. But if he's your number one wide out

418
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,640
Speaker 5: and you're paying thirty million dollars year, I think it'd

419
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 5: be very disappointed.

420
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 2: Thirty mili that can be thirty million. That's that's like

421
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: making him a top eight paid receiver, isn't it. I

422
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 2: find that extremely hard to believe. I think DJ Moore

423
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 2: could make some sense. Sure he was Carolina than Chicago.

424
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 2: I think he wasn't thrilled with the Killer Williams stuff initially.

425
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: Remember he liked the prior quarter who was it?

426
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: Well? So far none of the receivers like the Caleb

427
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,720
Speaker 5: Williams experience. If you read it like like DJ Moore

428
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 5: was not happy with it. You mentioned that Roma Dunesay

429
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 5: and his dad were very upset about it, just because

430
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 5: when you play with a quarterback like Kayleb Williams, the

431
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: things that receivers look for, like, hey, if I'm open,

432
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 5: hit me the ball. You know, I'm gonna run this route,

433
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 5: and this is the window you hit it, hit me

434
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 5: and I'm going to make something happen. And Caleb doesn't

435
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,359
Speaker 5: play like that. It's backyard, it's scrambling, and he'll miss

436
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,880
Speaker 5: a wide open receiver and then two plays later throw

437
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 5: a drop in a bucket from seventy yards and it's like,

438
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 5: I think most receivers would rather have the consistency of

439
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 5: Gay who's just going to be on time, on target

440
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 5: and let me work.

441
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, sounds about right. Interesting stuff happening. I saw Dallas

442
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 2: Goddard's gonna be dumped by the Eagles. All signs point

443
00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: to them replacing him with David and Joku, which is

444
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 2: kind of sort of interesting. And Joku is pretty damn

445
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: good in Cleveland. Uh, Yeah, it's been a it's it's

446
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: been a whirlwind week in the NFL. I obviously in

447
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 2: the world as well, but we're we're not touching any

448
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: of that stuff.

449
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,240
Speaker 3: College basketball getting exciting.

450
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 2: Rob, I'm just so pumped up about we're inside one

451
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 2: hundred days to the World Cup.

452
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 3: I mean, how thrilling is that you get tickets?

453
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 4: Yet? I know you're a big Fox guy.

454
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,640
Speaker 3: I'm not going to disclose that. Talk about it later.

455
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 3: Also got some good news about this podcast.

456
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean, goodness, gracious well, I can't reveal that yet either,

457
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:27,840
Speaker 2: got to hold some stuff back. And then, of course

458
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 2: I'm rob. I cannot tell you how geeked I am

459
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: for Laker's nuggets. We don't ever do this, but give

460
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 2: me a prediction on that game?

461
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:37,760
Speaker 3: Do you think the Lakers pull this off?

462
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 4: Oh? Yeah, on the road. No, Aaron Gordon, No, Peyton Watson.

463
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 4: Who guards Luka Doncic.

464
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: Well, Christian Brown is pretty good. I thought he did

465
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:50,120
Speaker 2: a good job against Shady the other night.

466
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 5: I mean, Luca's four inches and like seventy pounds bigger

467
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 5: than shay Yoto.

468
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 2: Cam Johnson is a game time decision. He has really

469
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,360
Speaker 2: not panned out there.

470
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 4: So banged up in Denver.

471
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 5: Like even Jokic when they ask him, like, hey, do

472
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:04,480
Speaker 5: you think if you guys are healthy, you'll be able

473
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 5: to make a run. Yeah, Like even he doesn't seem

474
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 5: enthused about this just might not be their year in Denver.

475
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm just I guess the only other thing I'm

476
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 2: curious about is how much do they actually care about

477
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: trying to hold off the Lakers for that for that seed,

478
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:22,119
Speaker 2: because you know, like you said, it's the Nuggets are

479
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 2: gonna be in the playoffs, that's a given, but they're

480
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 2: not healthy. They also have a back to back versus

481
00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,160
Speaker 2: the Lakers and then versus the Knicks, and then they're

482
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: at Oklahoma City versus Houston, at San Antonio at the Lakers.

483
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,200
Speaker 2: This is one of the toughest six games stretches. It

484
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,680
Speaker 2: is brutal, and they're and they're wounded.

485
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 5: It's why that went against Utah was so big. Now,

486
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 5: they got benefited by the officiating. But it's like if

487
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,439
Speaker 5: they would have lost that game with the upcoming stedies

488
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 5: that they have coming up, that would have been brutal.

489
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 2: Oh that was the game Jamal Murray went for forty five. Yeah,

490
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 2: I wonder how tired Yokic is. Well, who's gonna goud Yokic?

491
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: By the way, JJ Reddick going with Aighton to the

492
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 2: bench and Jackson he's in flip the end of that

493
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 2: game against the Pels.

494
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, listen, go ahead. The last few times the Lakers

495
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: have played Denver. One thing that that JJ has done

496
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 5: is he's putting Lebron on Jokic like as a front,

497
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 5: and that has really kind of thrown things off for them.

498
00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 2: Hmm, look at you breaking down. I'm trying to find

499
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 2: the season. Season Laker won the first game in January

500
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 2: by eight.

501
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 3: Let's see if yok played. I don't think Jokic played.

502
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 2: No, they did have Aaron Gordon and Jamal but they

503
00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 2: had started Jalen Pickett, Spencer Jones. Yeah, all right, well

504
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 2: and they had Peyton Watson. All right, go Lakers, We're

505
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 2: back tomorrow.

506
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 3: See then,
