It's a very very 29 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 4: very nice gourmet coffee. Gave it some time to stay 30 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 4: at home, you know, had enough time to drink it 31 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 4: and do what you know coffee does to you for 32 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 4: you in the morning. But nothing really happened, you know. 33 00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 4: I just had it, enjoyed, had nice hug. See when 34 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 4: I get back, got into the car, got to the 35 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 4: gas station, got the gas, got up out of the 36 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,839 Speaker 4: gas station, was heading up onto the ramp to get 37 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: onto the traffic ridden highway to get me here. And 38 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,919 Speaker 4: let's just say, while there was a ton of gridlock 39 00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 4: and traffic on the highway, that gridlock in that traffic 40 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 4: opened up in my belly. Oh yeah, and I had 41 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 4: to go forty five fifty minutes of mind control to 42 00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 4: make it here this morning and actually be able to 43 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 4: deliver the kids to the pool avoid of any accidents 44 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 4: or prematurely dropping them off. You know, you ever see 45 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 4: somebody like jump off of a roof or something like 46 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 4: being silly trying to get to the pool and they 47 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 4: don't make it to the pool. That's what I was 48 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: trying to avoid this morning. Yeah, spend some that have 49 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 4: tried it off this parking structure before going on. I 50 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 4: could have been on. 51 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 3: That list today. It was very close. But I did 52 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 3: make it everyone, So we're going to have a great show. 53 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 4: So here we go, all. 54 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 3: Right, Well, I guess that is the perfect transition. It 55 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 3: is a great transition. I mean, you know, from one 56 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 3: toilet to another, it is perfect. Two A tug of 57 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: my law and the Miami Dolphins are no more. The 58 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins have officially parted ways by releasing to a. 59 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 3: It is a ninety nine million dollars dead cap hit, 60 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: which is a record NFL record, and apparently they're gonna 61 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: split it over the next two years because they're going 62 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 3: to make him a post June one designation. But he's 63 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,279 Speaker 3: going to make fifty four million dollars from the Dolphins 64 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 3: and that'll be that for the two A tugay Law 65 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: experience with the Miami Dolphins. Who I know a lot 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: of people are are taking the shots or the victory 67 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 3: laps now because they look at it and they go, oh, well, 68 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 3: you know, clearly he was the third best quarterback in 69 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 3: that class when you consider he was next to Joe Burrow, 70 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: and he was next to Justin Herbert and all that, 71 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 3: and Miami made a mistake. 72 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: I get all that. 73 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: Look, they tried, they wanted Joe Burrow, they didn't get him, 74 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 3: and then they chose to over Justin Herbert. Clearly not 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: the right choice, not the right decision. But I do 76 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 3: think it also bears pointing out the concussions really changed everything, 77 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 3: completely changed everything for the trajectory of Tua's career. And 78 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,800 Speaker 3: so because of that and other things, now Tua finds 79 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 3: himself away from Miami, gone from the Dolphins, and making 80 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: fifty four million dollars this next year. 81 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 4: Victory laps. I mean, if people want to take victory laps, 82 00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 4: that's not a that wasn't a hard race to run 83 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 4: and win. I mean, I think a lot of people 84 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,479 Speaker 4: felt as though, because of the cat situation, that the 85 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 4: Miami Dolphins were almost forced to try to figure out 86 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: what to do with Tua for another season at least, 87 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: bless you, and at the end of the the road 88 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 4: in this scenario, I think you have to take a 89 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 4: good look at it and say, man, like, this is 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 4: a record breaking record setting cap hit dig cap hit 91 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: loss in the league. And guess who set the record 92 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 4: not too long ago. You got it, You got it. 93 00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 4: You know who said it? Russell Will we set that record? 94 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:31,159 Speaker 4: So interestingly enough, coincidentally enough, Russell Wilson has not been 95 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: the same quarterback. Is there any comparisons here? Let's see, 96 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: you got an undersized quarterback, didn't have a legitimate running 97 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 4: attack to help him in the passing game. Passing game 98 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,119 Speaker 4: kind of took a dip and suffered. Sounds a little 99 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 4: comparable in comparison. Jonas and I would say my biggest 100 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 4: question here is if I'm to a tongue of a 101 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 4: loa and I get to make fifty four million guaranteed, 102 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 4: I think, and that's before us structuring, right. I think 103 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 4: it might be more. It could be more. I'm not certain. 104 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 4: I wish we had Q to be able to discuss 105 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: the you know, the details of the contracts. But with 106 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 4: that being said, I'm just curious as to what do 107 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: you do? Isn't that the biggest question if you're too 108 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 4: a what do you do if you make this amount 109 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: of money and you got it as a parting gift? 110 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,839 Speaker 4: Take care of your head, take care of your family. 111 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,359 Speaker 4: I'm not one to tell you what to do, but 112 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,920 Speaker 4: if I'm giving you advice on what I think would 113 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 4: be the best thing for you to do. Your game 114 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 4: did take a change for the dramatics of not being 115 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 4: as good once you were making sure you were limiting 116 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 4: the amount of times you were hit. 117 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 3: The reports are that the Falcons are going to pursue 118 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 3: to A and the reason it would make sense for 119 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 3: Atlanta is because you've got Michael Pennix junior. You got 120 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 3: another lefty in two that you could bring in. Kevin 121 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 3: Stefanski's now the head coach there. He's done things with 122 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: quarterbacks before and and operated and done a really good 123 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 3: job with quarterbacks, and maybe people thought he couldn't get 124 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 3: a lot out of you know, case in point Joe 125 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 3: Flacco when he did it and brought him in any 126 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 3: One Comeback Player of the Year, which still, by the way, 127 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,040 Speaker 3: one of the most amazing things and feats I've ever 128 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 3: seen in my life. Joe Flacco won Comeback Player of 129 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: the Year for a partial season and he beat out 130 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 3: a guy who almost died on the field. That's one 131 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 3: of the one of the great achievements in the history 132 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: of the NFL. So Kevin Stefanski, there's some thought that 133 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 3: he would bring into it. And the reason also financially 134 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 3: why it makes sense, similar to Kyler, is that because 135 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 3: of the money that they're making from their former team, 136 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: they can sign a low rate deal for a little 137 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 3: over a million dollars because they're still going to get 138 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 3: their full fifty plus million from there from from his 139 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 3: previous team. So if you're Atlanta and you want to 140 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: create some competition, if you're not sold on Michael Pennix 141 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 3: junior and you want to bring in another lefty to 142 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: the fold, Toua to Atlanta would make some sense. And 143 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 3: you know, you mentioned you know, if you're Tua, take 144 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 3: care of your head, take care of your health. Look, 145 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 3: we spent a long time talking about you know, the Samoans, the. 146 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 4: Tongans, the Hawaiians. They don't operate that way, Brad. It's 147 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: not that's not the way they operate. It's a warrior 148 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: mentality he's going to play. 149 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: And I think that that, you know, in part, led 150 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 3: to look he's not a big guy, so yeah, he should, 151 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 3: you know, slide early, do this, But that's not That's 152 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 3: just not the way he That's not the way he. 153 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 4: I think he did avoid contact this past season, and 154 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 4: I think it did impact the way that his results were. 155 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 4: You know, within the games he. 156 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 3: Didn't I take hits and you didn't want to see 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 3: him take any hits in the season's past where you 158 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:08,960 Speaker 3: saw those hits take place and he was on the 159 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 3: ground and his fingers was doing the crypt crip signs 160 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 3: and throwing up you know, gang signs out there on 161 00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 3: the field like that, ain't it? 162 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: That's not it? And sure I would assume you're right 163 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 4: in the fact that he will look at this and 164 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 4: want to continue to play. But if I'm a team 165 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: in the NFL, if I'm the Atlanta Falcons, the first 166 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 4: thing I'm looking at is his head injuries report. If 167 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 4: I'm any team in the NFL, I'm looking at the 168 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 4: head injury reports, and I just I just don't feel 169 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: compelled to take that chance. I think I could take 170 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,319 Speaker 4: that chance with a lot of other quarterbacks. And while 171 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:54,719 Speaker 4: there may be the opportunity or the potential of what 172 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 4: you could get out of to a coming to your team, 173 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 4: or even a safety considering to be maybe a safety 174 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:08,720 Speaker 4: net for someone like a Michael Pennix who's also injury prone. 175 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 4: I think that I mentioned Russell Wilson earlier, and I 176 00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 4: mentioned him not because of the injury. I just mentioned 177 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 4: that because of the fall off. Why take a chance 178 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 4: on a player that you already saw the falloff taking 179 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 4: place in Miami. I know you say coaches feel like 180 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 4: they can save these guys and my system can develop them. 181 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 4: And we have seen guys that didn't have great starts 182 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 4: to their careers actually come back to life in a 183 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 4: different setting. If that happens, it's great. But I think 184 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 4: the one determining factor here with two of that make 185 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 4: gives me tremendous pause, is his head. Injuries Like this 186 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: isn't about if you can clean up and fix him 187 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: playing the game, get better results from him as a quarterback. 188 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,280 Speaker 4: He's been a good quarterback. He's been a good quarterback, 189 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,719 Speaker 4: so it's not like he hasn't had success as a 190 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 4: quarter That's what led to him having this large contract 191 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 4: to begin with. The biggest concern and the biggest issue 192 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 4: and the reason why sometimes you got to save somebody 193 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: from themselves to it. Probably isn't going to go into 194 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 4: retirement after this, but he probably should. And if I'm 195 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 4: a team and I'm looking at this, if I'm looking 196 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 4: at a guy that because of head injuries, probably should 197 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 4: make the decision to walk away, He's got a great 198 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 4: payday to go, you know, live the rest of his 199 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: life and be comfortable with him and his family. And 200 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 4: you could do all the tongue in teas all you want, 201 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 4: wherever you want, playing some beach catch, play some catch 202 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 4: with your kids, with your family. You don't need to 203 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 4: do it in the NFL. I'm just saying, for me, 204 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,440 Speaker 4: hard line stance. With that many head injuries and the 205 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,160 Speaker 4: way it looked playing out on national television for all 206 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 4: to see over and over and over again multiple times, 207 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: maybe the best, the best decision to make is to 208 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 4: move on with your life. He did take a shot 209 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: this year. 210 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 3: I forget who it was, but I think it was 211 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 3: on a It might have been a Thursday night game. 212 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 3: I forget, Like what there was a game I watched 213 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 3: where he did take a shot like it was a 214 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: legitimate shot. To the head and he got right back up. 215 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 3: So I do think there's been some time since. But 216 00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 3: what was your thought when you saw it? 217 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,760 Speaker 4: A hit? Oh? God? Like somebody call him medic? Okay, yeah, 218 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,319 Speaker 4: Like so even if he got right back up, do 219 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 4: you not think that there was an impact on him 220 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: and on his hit, even though he was able to 221 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:34,640 Speaker 4: get right back up. 222 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 3: It's the Alex Smith stuff. When Alex Smith came back 223 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 3: from that gruesome leg injury he suffered. I remember the 224 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 3: first game back, he was playing against the Rams, and 225 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 3: I was watching with my head kind of turned when 226 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: he got tackled the first time. It was Aaron Donald 227 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: and I just thought to myself, Man, bring him down 228 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 3: and off his feet, like, don't let his leg get planted. 229 00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 3: Don't let So there's always that that sort of cost. 230 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 4: That's a leg and so like you just can move 231 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 4: through life, like I know, because my pop, you can 232 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 4: move through life with a limb not being what it 233 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 4: needs to be. Like you can limp around, you can 234 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: you know, you could use the other hand, but your 235 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 4: head look and I get so much different. It's a 236 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 4: much bigger. 237 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 3: I also think that calls into question, you know, if 238 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 3: all of that stuff was on the table. Why did 239 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,920 Speaker 3: the Dolphins give him the deal they gave him after 240 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 3: all that stuff was on the table. 241 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 4: It's a very good. 242 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 3: And I think I think the reason they did it 243 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 3: is because they were sort of as in this in 244 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 3: between where he didn't show flashes of being the greatest 245 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,719 Speaker 3: quarterback in the league. You're not going to find the 246 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 3: Mahomes or a Josh Allen in a Tua. But he 247 00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,120 Speaker 3: did play, and you mentioned this, he did play good football. 248 00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 3: It's not like there was a thought that, you know, 249 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 3: the Brian Flores experiment happened, and Brian Flores, for anybody 250 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,720 Speaker 3: that wants to, you know, kiss kiss his ass and 251 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 3: talk about all wow, he was right about Tua. No, 252 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 3: he butchered that from the get go, all right, like 253 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 3: he was pulling a rookie quarterback out of games early 254 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 3: so that Ryan Fitzpatrick could finish it. Like that doesn't 255 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:19,200 Speaker 3: make any sense whatsoever. Go through the growing pains. We 256 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 3: talked about this for Fernanda Mendoza, and then all of 257 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 3: a sudden, Mike McDaniel gets there and he finds something 258 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 3: with Tua. He starts to play at a high level. 259 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: Tua was good. The concussions derailed everything. Like he played 260 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: at a high level. He played really good football. The 261 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: concussions derailed that. Stuff got in the way. And then 262 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 3: this past year happened, and you knew that his time 263 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 3: was limited in Miami based on the fact that he 264 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 3: started calling out teammates. 265 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: This time was limited. 266 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 3: He started, he started total, he started calling out teammates. 267 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 3: There was some question and then he had to come 268 00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: back after all that incidental. 269 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: It seemed good natured, good hearted, but the way it 270 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: was perceived after you could hear it, that was one 271 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: of those ones. Once he heard it, he probably wishes 272 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: he could have it back. 273 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 3: And I just you know what happened. And then afterwards 274 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 3: they're like, what would you think about a change of scenery? 275 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 3: He goes, you know, that's probably a good idea, Like 276 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 3: after the seat he just I think he just that. 277 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,440 Speaker 4: Change of scenery should be his crib. I mean, that's 278 00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 4: that's changing scenery should be the vacating from the NFL altogether. 279 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 4: I also think coach coach. 280 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,359 Speaker 3: I also think that he was in an impossible situation 281 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 3: because he was always going to be compared to Joe 282 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: Burrow and Justin Herbert, like that's that is. 283 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 4: Always First of all, he's made it to the playoffs, 284 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 4: just like those guys. Joe Burrow's made it to a 285 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 4: to a super Bowl. I get that, But I don't 286 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 4: know what Joe Burrow is going to be moving forward. 287 00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 4: He was like in this weird space this past season 288 00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 4: and justin Herbert all ways when he gets to the 289 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 4: playoffs right yet no, no, yeah, she thought he was 290 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 4: winning something. Hey, I said twenty one years today, Broy, 291 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,200 Speaker 4: Jessica Alba, and Madison Beer got news for you, man, 292 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: I got news for you. Business as a quarterback is good. 293 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: Business is real good at quarterback. I'm just saying, man, hey, 294 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 4: if he's always going to be compared to them, get 295 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 4: on my level. Bro, Like he got his money and 296 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: and he's still seemingly I don't know what what Toua's 297 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: You know, vitals are on his activation and operation of 298 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: brain brain function. But if you still, like, bro, like 299 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 4: save your brain. 300 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,920 Speaker 3: Man, seriously, And I'm not trying to like be on 301 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: no joking type matter on this. 302 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,480 Speaker 4: This is a very serious thing. It's funny because we 303 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 4: make it a point to focus in At least I've 304 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 4: made it a point to focus in on the amount 305 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 4: of cushions and head injuries he's had. But it happens 306 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 4: to probably other players more, other positions, more than the 307 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 4: quarterback's position. I just think that there's such a focal 308 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 4: point on the position that when something like that happens, 309 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:16,520 Speaker 4: it hits a little different. You know, like like when 310 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 4: you're watching a movie or a cartoon or TV show 311 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 4: and then the TV show like the main character is 312 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 4: just busting off on people. Bow shot that person, that 313 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,400 Speaker 4: bow shot that person, Like you can watch them take 314 00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 4: down at least ten to fifteen people, but let somebody 315 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 4: cut them or let somebody like shoot them and they 316 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 4: gotta go. It's like, Oh, it hits you different. You're 317 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 4: like dese sensitized to actually looking at the impact on others. 318 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,280 Speaker 4: I always say, you want to like have a cool show, 319 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 4: take one of the shows of where the hero is 320 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,199 Speaker 4: busting off on everybody to get to the mission, and 321 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: then the objective of the TV show and do a 322 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 4: story on one of them people that he shot down. 323 00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: He mowed down on his way to help and save 324 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 4: somebody's life.

Kenneth Walker is joining 415 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: the Kansas City Chiefs. All right, big one, big one. 416 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,159 Speaker 5: This kind of seemed inevitable after the Trump McDuffie trade, right, 417 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 5: like they were gonna going after a big fish. When's 418 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 5: the last time they had a dependable running back that 419 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 5: you could look at and go, that's the guy. 420 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 3: Man. 421 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: I mean Priest Holmes, dang, yeah, Larry Johnson came after 422 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 4: Priest home. What I mean, we all well, hold on, 423 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 4: come on, Larry Johnson was a beast. 424 00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 2: Hold on. 425 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 4: Now they had what uh Charles, I like Pacheco. Yeah, 426 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: but just get hurt. It gets hurt. 427 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 3: And look, you had Clyde Edwards, who was Hunt. 428 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: There was a two two hitted monster. Hunt knew who 429 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: was that man? There there was two backs. I don't know. 430 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 3: They've had some pretty good backs though, I just I 431 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 3: look at but they haven't had a guy that you 432 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: look at guard. That's the bellcap back right, like, that's 433 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 3: the lead Denry and and you look at what Kenneth 434 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 3: Walker did late in the season. Zach Charbona goes down 435 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 3: and he was massive for them, and I was surprised 436 00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: they didn't they didn't put the franchise tag on him. 437 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 3: I was surprised they let him walk. But I think 438 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 3: that's also an indication that they feel like, look, it's 439 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: a tough, tough call, tough decision. Appreciate everything he did. 440 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:28,960 Speaker 3: You know, he's got to walk at the height of 441 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,520 Speaker 3: his career, just won Super Bowl MVP, but we're just 442 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 3: going to go take our chances and try and get 443 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 3: cheaper at the running back position, trying to get cheaper. 444 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: We'll go get cheap like that's that's the way it 445 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,399 Speaker 3: looks like. And we've talked about this before. To think 446 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 3: where the running back position was years ago, when it 447 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 3: next to quarterback was the face of the league, and 448 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 3: to where it is now, to where a guy just 449 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: won Super Bowl MVP and they're like see you, buddy, 450 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 3: like we'll see you, thank you. We're not even giving 451 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 3: a give you the tag, go have fun. Legal tampering 452 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,399 Speaker 3: window opens. And now Patrick Mahomes has got some help 453 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 3: in the backfield and it's going to be Kenneth Walker. 454 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 4: Listen, it is some help. It certainly does help. Kenneth 455 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 4: Walker is a fine football player and showed how fond 456 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,400 Speaker 4: of a player he was by being the best player 457 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 4: in this year's Super Bowl. That was going to be 458 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 4: a defensive heavy game. You were going to need your 459 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 4: running game to be a part of it, and Seattle's 460 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:41,919 Speaker 4: run game delivered, and Kenneth Walker delivered. I guess I 461 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 4: would ask the question, I guess if it improves your team, 462 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 4: then there's nothing wrong with it. But I don't feel 463 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 4: as though bringing Kenneth Walker in alleviates the pressure that 464 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 4: you have mounting in terms of of letting McDuffie go 465 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 4: on the defense side of the ball. I'm curious to 466 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 4: see what they do to shore up their defense to 467 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,239 Speaker 4: make sure that their defense is what it needs to 468 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 4: be moving forward, and curious as to what do you 469 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 4: do at the quarterback's position. Obviously you're going to try 470 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 4: to figure out how to run the ball or get 471 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,879 Speaker 4: better at running the ball if you're cac because you 472 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 4: don't know what the future holds for Patrick Mahomes right 473 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 4: now and upcoming upcoming weeks and months and days of 474 00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,919 Speaker 4: his career. So until you can get him back healthy, 475 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 4: fully in the mix and ready to go and confident 476 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 4: in that leg and what he does, I would assume 477 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,880 Speaker 4: that you have to one have a quarterback that can 478 00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 4: stand in there and help you be competitive until he 479 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,720 Speaker 4: gets back. But two, you want to have a running 480 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: game that alleviates the stress and the pressure on on 481 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 4: the guy that you're putting in there, and to that point, 482 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 4: to do it for Patrick Mahomes why he gets back 483 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 4: as well. 484 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: The Chiefs haven't had a thousand year old rushers since 485 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 3: twenty seven. 486 00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 4: I just looked it up. I was like, man, y'all 487 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,640 Speaker 4: are right, it's just not been Kareem Hunt is probably 488 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 4: the closest they got to, like a guy that was 489 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,120 Speaker 4: kind of pushing to be the bail Kyle back for them. 490 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 3: And you know, clearly they've had plenty of success, so 491 00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,120 Speaker 3: it's not like, well, that's going to really hold him back. 492 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,600 Speaker 3: You know, the super Bowls, the dynasty, all that stuff. 493 00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 3: But I do think this is also if you've got 494 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,880 Speaker 3: a quarterback like Mahomes who's coming back from the injury 495 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,199 Speaker 3: and they're optimistic that he's going to be there and 496 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: ready to go, you know, to start the year and all, 497 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,760 Speaker 3: that's fine, but worst case scenario, he's not there. They 498 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 3: got to start off the season putting him on the 499 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 3: pup list. Okay, or he comes back he is ready 500 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 3: for the start of the season, but it takes him 501 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,640 Speaker 3: some time to get used to the new normal, which 502 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: is a surgically repaired leg. You're gonna need some help 503 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: and if you've got a back there that you can 504 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 3: depend on. I look, I thought they would have been 505 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: one of the teams that would have taken a shot 506 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 3: at Jeremiah Love in the draft with a with a 507 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 3: top ten pick and go running back in the draft. 508 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 4: But the fact that they've. 509 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 3: Made this move and we've seen Andy Reid offenses in 510 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 3: Philly when he's got a back that can catch the 511 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 3: ball out of the backfield, that's a Love screen a 512 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:32,199 Speaker 3: big time. And so I look at that and I go, 513 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 3: that's where a guy like Kenneth Walker can step in 514 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 3: and can be of help at a position of need 515 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,320 Speaker 3: that they've needed for quite a while. And then they 516 00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 3: look at it and they go on defense. It's not 517 00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 3: ideal that we lost Trent McDuffie, but you know, we've 518 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 3: got to make They did the same thing with Legerius 519 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 3: Snead a couple of years ago, and I think that's 520 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,880 Speaker 3: probably where they try and get better in the draft, 521 00:28:56,960 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: or who knows, maybe you know, we'll get a Twoy 522 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: tampering update at some point on the show, and the 523 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: Chiefs are going to attack the defensive side of the ball. 524 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 4: You know, I think we built Patrick Mahomes up to 525 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:10,959 Speaker 4: be this larger than life figure because he's accomplished so 526 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,560 Speaker 4: much that would be deserving of the things that are 527 00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 4: allotted his way, the reverence towards him, the respect factor. 528 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,040 Speaker 4: He's built up a lot of great will, not just 529 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:25,400 Speaker 4: good will, but great will. And so we talk about 530 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,840 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes as if he's this invincible figure. I think 531 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 4: the first thing you got to take a look at 532 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:34,560 Speaker 4: is one, he did go down to a serious leg injury. 533 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:38,480 Speaker 4: That's one for two. This offense hasn't been what it's 534 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 4: needed to be. And need I say, I mean, I 535 00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 4: mean he's thrown for some good yards during the course 536 00:29:45,040 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 4: of the season, having a five thousand yard season not 537 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 4: too long ago, what twenty twenty two, But when ericb 538 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 4: Enemy left and I'm not making this about Ericbenemy, but 539 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,520 Speaker 4: I'm saying in that moment in time, when Airbi Enemy 540 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 4: left the team, that offense has seemed to not be 541 00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 4: the same. Since that departure took place, whatever took whatever 542 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 4: happened in that moment of time, the offense hasn't seemed 543 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 4: to get back on track. I mean, and obviously you 544 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,440 Speaker 4: had the departure of you had the departure of the 545 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 4: Cheetah and Tyreek Hill. I know what you're doing. I 546 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:28,320 Speaker 4: just again, I don't. I don't. And it's interesting we're 547 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 4: gonna bring I believe we're gonna bring TJ on today. 548 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,280 Speaker 4: I asked the fellas on I asked them on on 549 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 4: up on game on Saturdays by the way, nine am 550 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 4: West West Coast Town. I asked the fellas on Saturday 551 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:44,280 Speaker 4: because I didn't want to feel like I'm going crazy here, 552 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 4: because at times last week I did, is this is 553 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 4: this the end of the road? Like, how should we 554 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:55,560 Speaker 4: be looking at this Kansas City Chiefs team right now? 555 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 4: Is the window closing? 556 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 3: Well? You were you were I think you were trying 557 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 3: to say, and I don't want to put words in 558 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 3: your mouth because I would never want to do that, 559 00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 3: but I think you were trying to say that the 560 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: Chiefs should fire Andy Reid and make Eric be enemy 561 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 3: the head coach. That's exactly what I'm not saying. Let's 562 00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:12,120 Speaker 3: just run that. 563 00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:17,320 Speaker 4: That's exactly we certainly would get. We would go viral. 564 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,719 Speaker 4: Let's fire that off. I'm not trying to I'm not 565 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,600 Speaker 4: trying to go do shock shock value to get to us. Listen, 566 00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:27,240 Speaker 4: just see how long we can keep a straight face 567 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,960 Speaker 4: for what I am saying that sometimes we may lose 568 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 4: track of the fact that Patrick Mahomes is a person. Yeah, 569 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 4: he's not an alien, He's not this mythical figure. 570 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 3: It's also, if we're gonna be honest, man, like you 571 00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 3: are correct. The offense is not looked like this high 572 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:54,000 Speaker 3: powered you know, Houston Euler's running shoot from beg for years, 573 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 3: where you could bring in Cody Carlson and he throw 574 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,560 Speaker 3: for five thousand yards, Like you're not that that, we're 575 00:31:58,600 --> 00:31:59,920 Speaker 3: not talking about that. 576 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 4: The defense has been the more consistent. And that's the thing, 577 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,200 Speaker 4: Like the conversations have always been about, well, as long 578 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 4: as you got Patrick Mahomes, well, as long as you 579 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 4: got Patrick Mahomes, and the biggest moments of late of 580 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,840 Speaker 4: recent like, oh well they made it to the Super Bowl. 581 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 4: Their defenses of through the years, the defense through the 582 00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 4: years has come up so big in the most pivotal 583 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 4: moments and the most critical moments of their seasons. It 584 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 4: has been the defense that has delivered. And so that's 585 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,680 Speaker 4: why I led off with back to the original point. 586 00:32:38,840 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 4: Bringing in Kenneth Walker is a great move for them 587 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 4: because I believe he has a hard nosed, lunch pale 588 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 4: type of guy. He's a normal type of guy. No 589 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 4: diva connected to him in any type of way. He's 590 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 4: a workhorse. That's great for what they're trying to do. 591 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,360 Speaker 4: If they're going to try to bang the ball, run 592 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:00,680 Speaker 4: the ball, established to run and and be able to 593 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 4: have that set up the pass with whatever their quarterback 594 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:07,640 Speaker 4: situation is going to be, that's that's that's a good 595 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:13,200 Speaker 4: move for them. But again we mentioned Chris Jones getting aged. 596 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 4: He's aging, carloftus dope dope player makes plays. Can this 597 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:27,240 Speaker 4: defense return to form? And actually, I don't even want 598 00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:30,960 Speaker 4: to say bail out. They have won games for them, 599 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 4: they have one championships for this team. Is this defense 600 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 4: this year good enough to lead the way? And that's 601 00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:41,280 Speaker 4: going to be the biggest question that has to be answered. 602 00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 4: I if the offense comes back and they're able to 603 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 4: be good, I would be surprised, I really would. It's 604 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,480 Speaker 4: going to be on the defense to make sure that 605 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:54,520 Speaker 4: they carry this team through the course of this upcoming season. 606 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 4: And is this a defense that can do it. I'm 607 00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 4: a big believer in Spags. Spagnola is a is a 608 00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,680 Speaker 4: great coach in terms of being able to game plan 609 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:09,360 Speaker 4: and find the weaknesses in an offense, overload the line, 610 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,680 Speaker 4: bring blitzes from different positions in different places on the 611 00:34:12,719 --> 00:34:15,200 Speaker 4: field where you thought they were in coverage, but they 612 00:34:15,280 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 4: end up coming in on a blitz. He overloads. He 613 00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 4: does a really, really great job, but can he bring 614 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:26,760 Speaker 4: that to the table this year and probably, in my estimation, 615 00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,920 Speaker 4: one of the most pivotal years for this Kansas City franchise. 616 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:34,399 Speaker 3: You're just looking for improvements from year in and year out. 617 00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:37,400 Speaker 3: I think that's every team's goal, or at least publicly 618 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:39,160 Speaker 3: that's what they say their goal is. And so if 619 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:40,920 Speaker 3: you're the Chiefs and you're coming off a six win 620 00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:45,840 Speaker 3: season last year, you just need to find five wins 621 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 3: on the schedule because you already have two with the Raiders. 622 00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 3: So if you just find five other on the schedule, 623 00:34:52,440 --> 00:34:55,279 Speaker 3: they wash them mouth. Everything's going to be all right 624 00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: because you do have that bye week that resides, you know, 625 00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 3: right across the street from Mandalay bayres that so it's 626 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:07,400 Speaker 3: not you know. We'll keep you posted. And again this 627 00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:12,840 Speaker 3: is the Twoy Tracker, the legal tampering Windows Open tongue 628 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,880 Speaker 3: in Tooey is here to give us the updates throughout 629 00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: the course of this show.

What's the latest. 655 00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 5: Breaking news from Fox Sports? All Right, this just came down. 656 00:36:35,719 --> 00:36:38,520 Speaker 5: We told you last hour or earlier this hour that 657 00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 5: Alec Pierce was resigning an Indy's I guess what happened. 658 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:46,319 Speaker 5: Now they're trading Michael Pittman to the Steelers. Steelers sounds 659 00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:47,479 Speaker 5: like a late round pick swim. 660 00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:51,280 Speaker 4: I'm sitting there looking at a picture of the carly 661 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,320 Speaker 4: Ers right here, carly Ers, Gordon, and I see her notes. 662 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:56,279 Speaker 4: Well they're fine. 663 00:36:56,320 --> 00:37:02,840 Speaker 3: What are you talking about? Well, okay, uh yeah. So 664 00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 3: I'm glad that Mike is going to the Steelers. That 665 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 3: is a tremendous addition to the team. 666 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,919 Speaker 5: They trying to are they trying to appease and Aaron 667 00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,680 Speaker 5: Rodgers return here giving him another weapon potentially. 668 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 4: It feels like it does feel like that would be 669 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,960 Speaker 4: a nice duo. I just couldn't understand why they let 670 00:37:28,040 --> 00:37:31,719 Speaker 4: Pickings go. You bring in DK. If you have DK 671 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:35,759 Speaker 4: and Pickings, if they could coexist, that's nice. That's a 672 00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,920 Speaker 4: great duo. It could be a best hand them developed 673 00:37:39,080 --> 00:37:43,320 Speaker 4: in in the league. Instead you, well, I don't know 674 00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 4: that Pittman Jr. Has an ego in this scenario, no particular, no, No, 675 00:37:47,080 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 4: I know what you're saying. But what I'm saying is 676 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,560 Speaker 4: is can they co exist? Because one ego is more 677 00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,719 Speaker 4: than enough. When one ego gets in the way, it 678 00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 4: still can have an impact on ego list type of guys. 679 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,320 Speaker 4: So I don't know. It seems like a good signing, 680 00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,719 Speaker 4: though it could be a signal to Aaron Rodgers to 681 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,120 Speaker 4: come on back and throw to these two guys. 682 00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 3: So when you when we talked about the Alex Peers signing, 683 00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 3: there was a graphic that was posted on X from 684 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:17,200 Speaker 3: the nfl X account. Uh, you know, col twide receiver 685 00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:19,719 Speaker 3: Aaliy Pierce agrees to term on an extension with the 686 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:24,080 Speaker 3: with the Indianapolis Colts. Michael Pittman Junior responds and goes 687 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:29,120 Speaker 3: deserved congrats ap and then fifteen minutes later gets traded 688 00:38:29,160 --> 00:38:31,840 Speaker 3: to the Steelers. So it's a yeah already, he probably 689 00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,720 Speaker 3: already knew it. Cold hearted world out here. 690 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:39,800 Speaker 2: Come on popping on Fox Sports. 691 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,720 Speaker 4: We got quarterback news, We got quarterback news. 692 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:43,960 Speaker 3: Pack. 693 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,600 Speaker 5: US free agent quarterback Malik Willis has agreed to a 694 00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 5: deal or will agree to a deal today with the 695 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 5: Miami Dolphins. 696 00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:55,920 Speaker 4: May makes sense. The Miami connection makes sense. The Miami connection, 697 00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,040 Speaker 4: Liberty and you yeah, I mean you blew out to 698 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,719 Speaker 4: a like you now can ask answer the question why 699 00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,160 Speaker 4: Tua was blown out and they didn't wait? So yeah, 700 00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 4: you're right. 701 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 3: So the the blueing right on that. And also, you 702 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:16,080 Speaker 3: know Jeff Haffley was in Miami. Is it John Eric 703 00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 3: Sullivan who's the GM for the for the Miami Dolphins. 704 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 3: I believe it's John Eric Sullivan if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, 705 00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 3: it's I mean, you know I've said it before. It's 706 00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 3: it's said like that's a serial killer name. I don't 707 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,759 Speaker 3: care what anybody says. It just it sounds like something 708 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,520 Speaker 3: you would see on a Netflix documentary. But he's now 709 00:39:33,600 --> 00:39:36,359 Speaker 3: the GM of the Miami Dolphins. So the connection there, 710 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:41,680 Speaker 3: malks in Miami, Jeff Hafley was in was Malik Willis 711 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,640 Speaker 3: was in Green Bay? Jeff Haffley was there, Sullivan was there, 712 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 3: Like the connection, Like, I get it. I just. 713 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,520 Speaker 4: Though for Malik Willis, is that really another thing? It's 714 00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,840 Speaker 4: a big question mark. I mean, but it's the perfect 715 00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,719 Speaker 4: it's the perfect market for a Malik Willis to go 716 00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 4: somewhere and if he it does great, it works out great. 717 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,760 Speaker 4: If it doesn't work out at all, it's like, why'd 718 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:06,560 Speaker 4: you bring the leak Willis here? He does keep moving forward. 719 00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,360 Speaker 3: And I also wonder what's the structure of the contract, 720 00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:12,720 Speaker 3: because we've seen this before. Teddy Bridgewater, you know, signed 721 00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:14,920 Speaker 3: a three year deal with Carolina. It turned out it 722 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:16,480 Speaker 3: was a one year. They got out of it after 723 00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:18,360 Speaker 3: the first Yeah, clindit to Ian Rappaport. It will be 724 00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:21,239 Speaker 3: a three year, sixty seven and a half million dollar deal, 725 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,840 Speaker 3: forty five million guaranteed. 726 00:40:23,280 --> 00:40:25,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, And I wonder that's manageable. 727 00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 3: That's a manageable that's not a blockbuster contract whatsoever. See 728 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,400 Speaker 3: if six starts in his career, I think Malik Wilson's 729 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,560 Speaker 3: got six starts in his career, it's got to be 730 00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:36,040 Speaker 3: under ten. 731 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:39,200 Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, there's just a lot of question marks going 732 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,480 Speaker 4: into this, and I know it's been made out for 733 00:40:41,600 --> 00:40:45,720 Speaker 4: him to be a very very high profile six starts 734 00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:51,080 Speaker 4: to potential put potential acquisition for this offseason. But we 735 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:54,359 Speaker 4: made the conversation point again, I'll continue to give Pete 736 00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,719 Speaker 4: Prisco a lot of credit. This has not been a 737 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,399 Speaker 4: very what you will be consider during a super high 738 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 4: profile free agencies market, So trades were going to have 739 00:41:06,239 --> 00:41:09,160 Speaker 4: to come. And now we're seeing in this this legal 740 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,320 Speaker 4: tampering period that the trades are flowing, which means that 741 00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:16,080 Speaker 4: there was probably illegal tampering going on because of how 742 00:41:16,200 --> 00:41:19,279 Speaker 4: quickly these trades are are firing up. Oh I mean, 743 00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:21,680 Speaker 4: I'm just saying, you didn't just call me today when 744 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 4: when when the illegal tampering period just went into effect, 745 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,080 Speaker 4: You just called me today and said, let's get a 746 00:41:28,120 --> 00:41:28,640 Speaker 4: trade done. 747 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:32,080 Speaker 3: You got to assume that they were planning the breaking 748 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,759 Speaker 3: up and you're engaged for eight hours later. Oh god, 749 00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,759 Speaker 3: just you know, in that span of time, I found 750 00:41:36,800 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 3: the one. 751 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:40,640 Speaker 4: I don't even understand how you call it legal tampering, 752 00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:43,640 Speaker 4: Like just say you can talk like why is it 753 00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,160 Speaker 4: legal tampering? That just seems like a hockey more. 754 00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:51,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it is so Blik willis the quarterbacks of the 755 00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:52,719 Speaker 3: Miami Dolphins. 756 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,239 Speaker 4: You know, is that the only move at the quarterback's 757 00:41:56,280 --> 00:42:01,120 Speaker 4: position that doesn't scream starter that contract and screams started. 758 00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:03,759 Speaker 3: I was kind of hoping for Quinny or it's just 759 00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 3: getting out there slinging it around a little bit and 760 00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 3: see what we got. 761 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:08,719 Speaker 4: You know, you're not that far out in the water 762 00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,160 Speaker 4: with that. Yeah, I mean you think that's a You're 763 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 4: giving him forty five million guaranteed to not start. That's 764 00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,400 Speaker 4: a lot of money, but the market that's well below 765 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,200 Speaker 4: market value of a of a French. 766 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,200 Speaker 5: Maybe compete, right, Yeah, geting is to compete, But I 767 00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 5: don't think that's back up money. 768 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,440 Speaker 3: I mean it is the Dolphins. We've seen their track record. 769 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,440 Speaker 3: Maybe they're giving him this contract so they can to 770 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,520 Speaker 3: you know, cut him and then swallow more money for 771 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,440 Speaker 3: the next year. Man, I'm just saying anything's on the 772 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:37,160 Speaker 3: table there in South Beach. I think you could get 773 00:42:37,160 --> 00:42:40,640 Speaker 3: out of the way of it with that contract. Talking 774 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 3: about Willis, I know, just an opinion.
