And they go 140 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,240 Speaker 1: back a long time. Not a lot of positivity here 141 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: these last couple of years. I would have thought Jalen 142 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: Brunson that much better than his dad. Yes, and boy, 143 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: you have to feel for Mark Cuban not being able 144 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: to keep Jalen Brunson in the building. Yes, this has 145 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 1: gone far worse than you are, Chris Berman, DJ and 146 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: uh not gonna be easy for Yannis to get to 147 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: the Knicks after this one tonight, No, because think because 148 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 1: think about that for just for one second, right, to 149 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,160 Speaker 1: get to get to the take Why the Knicks needed 150 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: this right first thing, janis if the knickser is preferred destination, 151 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: nothing you have seen so far is gonna get the 152 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 1: Knicks to upset their apple cart to trade from the deadline. Well, 153 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: that's the thing we talked about Brown and what he's 154 00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: done as a coach and the changeover from Thibodeau. I 155 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 1: mentioned it, you know, last hour a little bit that 156 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 1: we were I was watching some of the posts, you know, 157 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 1: getting a cup of coffee in the in the kitchen, 158 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: and and just the way Brunson and Hart were talking 159 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: about their relationship with Mike Brown and how he fortified 160 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: that in terms of wanting to get to know them 161 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 1: beyond their moves as chess pieces on a basketball court 162 00:08:31,200 --> 00:08:35,319 Speaker 1: and relating to each of them in their lives as 163 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: men and going down like that he started with them 164 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: and then obviously making time and getting to know the 165 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,240 Speaker 1: rest of the roster, but that he really took the 166 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 1: initiative of getting to know them outside of the basketball confines, 167 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: which is huge, right. We understand that it takes time 168 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: to build those relationships, but that that was his first 169 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: order of business, not like hey, rotations or whatever else, like, 170 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: I gotta get to know you as people before we 171 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: can really build as a team. And I think that's 172 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,599 Speaker 1: lost on a lot of this anymore. It's so transactional, 173 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: so short term success as opposed to all right, we 174 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: need to build this thing, and we can't just do 175 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,599 Speaker 1: it if all we know is is in between the 176 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: white lines. Look, And that's why the Knicks needed this, 177 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: needed tonight, needed this championship because coming off the last year, 178 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: probably should have been in the NBA Finals. You know, 179 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,920 Speaker 1: they blow that big lead to the Pacers, they never 180 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,079 Speaker 1: really recover and Tibbs gets fired. Right, very controversial team 181 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: this close to a championship, but the Knicks understand that 182 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: we need something a little bit more. So there's always 183 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 1: gonna be that question did we do the right thing? 184 00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: And the TIBs hangover was real. Right when the Knicks 185 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: started out this season, what was it? Things were just 186 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult than it felt it should 187 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: be with this team playing more guys off the bench. 188 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: Mccal bridges was terrific the beginning of the year, right, 189 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: he was a different guy off of this team, but 190 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: things were just a little bit more difficult. It felt 191 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: like the end of the year last year and playoff 192 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: games where boy, every time, you know, they're dogging Jalen 193 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: Brunson up the court every single time, trying to exhaust them. 194 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 1: This is game five, Game six, Game seven, and the 195 00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 1: Knicks lost a little bit out of the gate, and 196 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,560 Speaker 1: so you get a little bit of ooh, is this 197 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 1: the right thing? Right that the TIBs hangover is still there, 198 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: players still very loyal to him, even though they love 199 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: Mike Brown. The Knicks need even though they had started 200 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: to win, right, and the big thing for the nixt 201 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: they put Josh Hart in the starting lineup and all 202 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: of a sudden, that was it, Like that was the 203 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: big change, and the Knicks started winning. Everything started working 204 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: from there. And yes, they're playing more guys, guys off 205 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: the bench night. I mean, think about it. The Knicks 206 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: won tonight because Mitchell Robinson and Jordan Clarkson. Right, Clarkson 207 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 1: has done it. You don't need these guys every single night, 208 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:54,560 Speaker 1: but you need guys that can do this. So the 209 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: onus is not on Brunson and Karl Anthony Towns and Anunoby. 210 00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: Like you saw the way they were able to do 211 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: it tonight. Nicks got big stuff off the bench. And 212 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 1: when we talked to Rick Bucker an hour go on 213 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: the show, he's listen, these guys weren't even playing in 214 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: this game. Jordan Clarkson wouldn't be in the game. Mitchell 215 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: Robinson wouldn't be in the game. If Tibbs was coaching right, 216 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 1: he would stick with his iron five right. So you 217 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: see that you needed Mike Brown to get some time 218 00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 1: to get his rotation in, play the right guys in 219 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:21,960 Speaker 1: the right order, in the right way. He wanted to 220 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: do it. But the Knicks winning this even though it's okay, 221 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: it's the e Cup, it's the middle of the season, 222 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,960 Speaker 1: this is a tangible piece of evidence that what we 223 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 1: are doing is working towards being a team that can 224 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: win the NBA title this year. We knew coming in 225 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:37,800 Speaker 1: we were gonna be one of the favorites, right us 226 00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: in Cleveland because the Celtics were without Jason Tatum. The 227 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 1: Pacers have lost a couple of guys, No Haliburton, Caliburton, 228 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 1: so they knew, hey, we're one of the big heavy favorites. 229 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 1: Obviously the Pistons have jumped out there's always going to 230 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: be that team up there. But the Knicks are saying, Okay, 231 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 1: this is our year. We are here for this, and 232 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 1: you need a little bit of that evidence to say, hey, 233 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: you tangible piece of what we're doing is working. Just 234 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: like in anything where if you're following a new script, 235 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: you get to that point where you ask yourself is 236 00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: this working? Do we need to go back to what 237 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,520 Speaker 1: we're doing? Do we need to change things? But now 238 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,679 Speaker 1: is your stamp of we don't need to change anything. 239 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: We just want a championship. We went into a winner 240 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: take all game in a neutral environment, right, not in 241 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 1: our place right where hey we play at Madison Square Garden, Right, 242 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 1: that's our place, that's where we go. It's where we 243 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 1: beat everybody. No, we're now winning games on the road, 244 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:31,520 Speaker 1: neutral environment for a championship where both sides really wanted it, 245 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 1: in front of fans that were you were paid to 246 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: be there, in front of fans who were there, no 247 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: matter how many were or weren't there. In the blue 248 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: lights up above. This was a big cementing of the 249 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: Knicks believe what they're doing, and now they're even a better, 250 00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 1: more dangerous tea than they were because they have this 251 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: tangible evidence of Okay, this group together we just achieved, 252 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: we coalesced, We made it through this crazy Herky Jerky 253 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: e Cup schedule. But we knew when the games were 254 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 1: we wanted to win. Everybody wanted to win, right, everybody 255 00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: wants the money get to the Emirates Cup Final. We 256 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: saw it to again, you watch the game. You saw 257 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 1: how bad the Spurs wanted. You saw bad the Knicks 258 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 1: wanted it. Both teams wanted to win. But this is 259 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,560 Speaker 1: so big because the Knicks needed this belief to know 260 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: that hey, from now on, hey we know that we 261 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: got it. 262 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,079 Speaker 4: Now. 263 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: I just hope going forward, the Knicks don't rust in 264 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,719 Speaker 1: the Laurels going yeah, yeah, we got it, we got it, 265 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: and instead it's more of a springboard jumping off board. 266 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: That's it, right, You have to have your litmus test. 267 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: We talked about it just in terms of regular season matchups, 268 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 1: right where you recognize where you don't match up well 269 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,479 Speaker 1: against the top. 270 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 4: Of your conference. 271 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: I will talk about the Spurs a bit more and 272 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: where they are and some stuff coming out in the post. 273 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,200 Speaker 1: But you know, like when we watched the Lakers, they 274 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 1: were having that great run and then they went and 275 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: got drummed by Okac, and it's like, okay, that's your 276 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: true test, right. You want to be defined by how 277 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: you play against the best in your respective conferences, and 278 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: the Emirates Cup does at least give you that little 279 00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: snapshot of here we are battle test it a little bit, right. 280 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 1: The Knicks get out of the East and you play 281 00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,320 Speaker 1: a Spurs team that has great depth and great length, 282 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: and you come away with a win and a great 283 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: fourth quarter to close it out, and you needed those 284 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: bench players to do it. So you have proof of 285 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 1: concept of all right, what we're building works. Do you 286 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: still have tweaks? Well, you got a few weeks ahead 287 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 1: of the trade deadline, right, And that's the other thing 288 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: that you come out of here with your your proof 289 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 1: of concept of what you have with Mike Brown that 290 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: it's working and more filmed to go back and look 291 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 1: at of all right, what else can we tweak? Where 292 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 1: else can maybe we steal some minutes along the way, 293 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: because it is a long road before we get to 294 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 1: June where we're playing for the real stakes.

The top of the 482 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: NFL Draft has now been upended as Jeremiah Love Heisman 483 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,199 Speaker 1: finalist Notre Dame has announced he is entering the NFL Draft. 484 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 1: Thanked everybody at nore Dame for the last couple of years. 485 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,679 Speaker 1: He is now headed to the NFL, where there is 486 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: no way he gets out of the top five. Because 487 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: this is a guy who not only is a great player, 488 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 1: look the guy, he's a do it all running back. Right. 489 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 1: The guy averaged seven yards of carry the last two years, the. 490 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 4: Last two years. 491 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: It's what he have I always default to when I 492 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 1: was a kid, going if he averages seven yards of carry, 493 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,320 Speaker 1: why don't we get the ball on every play? It's 494 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 1: gonna get seven yards of cary. We're gonna be in 495 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: the end zone. They're never gonna stop us. We're gonna 496 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: win the super Bowl. But this is the type of 497 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: player that he is. He's big, he's asked, he's elusive, 498 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 1: He's a guy that catches the ball to the backfield. 499 00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 1: He is everything you want out of a running back. 500 00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,679 Speaker 1: And while I know that, hey, the general consensus has 501 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: been we don't take running backs early in the draft, 502 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 1: there are special guys that you take that early. Clearly 503 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: going back in time, boy Bjon Robinson showing you draft 504 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 1: stock one hundred percent. Jeremiah Love is that next guy. 505 00:24:22,600 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 1: And when you are teams picking in the top five 506 00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: year team like the Titans or the Jets, you are 507 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: getting a player who is going to give you your 508 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: identity as a team. You're getting a superstar who was 509 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 1: showing up to sell jerseys. That's the focal point of 510 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 1: your team. 511 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 4: It's not just we. 512 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: Got a great edge rusher, we got a great shutdown corner. 513 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,399 Speaker 1: You're getting a superstar running back. And we're kind of 514 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: coming back to the to the running back a little bit. 515 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: In the NFL, coming off of Saquon Barkley. You anybody 516 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: that gets paid should thanks Saquon Barkley for carrying the 517 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: Eagles to the super Bowl last year, because that's why 518 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,119 Speaker 1: guys are getting paid. But he's not getting out of 519 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: the top five, whether it's one of those teams I'm 520 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:01,360 Speaker 1: or someone else training up. 521 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:01,800 Speaker 4: To get him. 522 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: But I want to throw this at you because you know, 523 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 1: you know what should happen. Think about this. Jeremiah Love 524 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 1: number one overall to the Giants, But the Giants have 525 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: scatabooz Sctataboos, Gottaboys. Yeah, Scataboo's kind of a cultiro. He's 526 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: not a guy that's gonna rip, but he's not gonna 527 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: average five yards to carry. He's a volume running back. 528 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 1: But but think about this. If you take Jeremiah Love 529 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: number one overall, absolute superstar running back, if you're the 530 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: Giants you go into next season, Jackson Darter is your quarterback. 531 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 1: He has proven he's the guy. You have Love and 532 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: Scataboo at running back. Neighbors Wandelle Robinson, Theo Johnson. You 533 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: are the Lions of two and a half years ago. 534 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: That's how good this offense can be. Right And oh, 535 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: by the way, Tyron Tracy is really good too. You 536 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: might not need him he's but yeah, he's pretty good, 537 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter. Think about that talent level that 538 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: you have. That's the same thing that the Lions said, Well, 539 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 1: we have David Montgomery, he's really good. We're drafting Jamior Gibbs. 540 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 4: He is that good. 541 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: He is the lightning to the thunder at Sonic and Knuckles. 542 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: And look at what the Lions have been able to 543 00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: do the last couple years. Now this year they're struggling 544 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 1: a little bit, but offensively they're still great. They have 545 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,200 Speaker 1: superstar playmakers everywhere. The Giants are sort of becoming the 546 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: new Lions. If you make that draft pick, you already 547 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,920 Speaker 1: have a pretty decent defense. You can fix things in 548 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:29,840 Speaker 1: free agency or defensive line is okay, Gotta get Abdul 549 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 1: Carter to make sure he is leaving all his bad 550 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: habits behind. But think about that offense if you're the 551 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,399 Speaker 1: Giants going in the next year. Dart Love Scataboo, a 552 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: healthy Molik neighbors Wandale Robinson who's turned into a really 553 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 1: good player. Johnson like, that's exactly what the Lions were 554 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: looking at a couple of years ago. The star quarterback, 555 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the two star running backs. One could be a real 556 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,720 Speaker 1: big superstar, two really good wide receivers. One can be 557 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,600 Speaker 1: a superstar, one could be one of the next great 558 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 1: tight ends in the NFL. Maybe Johnson's not Laporta, but 559 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 1: that's what the Giants would have at their skilled positions, 560 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: and everybody would foam at the mouth to go coach 561 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: these guys. Like that's so you're thinking, oh, why would 562 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 1: he take a running back number? Think about the offense 563 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: the Giants could put on the field if they went 564 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,440 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love number one. No, I like it in theory, 565 00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 1: In theory, is Marcus Freeman the next head coach of 566 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,119 Speaker 1: the Giants while we're at it, because maybe that helps 567 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 1: solidify that a little bit. Okay, okay, because I'm wondering 568 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: if he's not moving on to other pass keep hearing 569 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman Giants a lot like it's like it's not 570 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 1: one of those things, Ah you heard it had gone away. 571 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: It's like he keeps just like Calin de boor in Michigan. 572 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 4: You haven't heard the end of Like why is that? People? 573 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 4: We're not you haven't stopped talking about that? 574 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 1: Still going on, debor Kelly, you know, I mean, there's 575 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts in that, but certainly 576 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman potentially on the move. With all of this, Now, 577 00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 1: am I drafting a running back? 578 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 4: Top five? Hell? No, I'm not. 579 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: But I like your theory and I like the way 580 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: that offense looks. Now, you still need five guys up 581 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: front to block, and they don't have one at this point. 582 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,040 Speaker 1: You also, I think, might need to make sure you're 583 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: backing up your quarterback position. Not necessarily in the first round, 584 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: but certainly something you need to address because of Jackson 585 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: Dart's frequent excursions to the blue tent along the way, 586 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,320 Speaker 1: So you need to make sure that that's solidified, whether 587 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: it remains Jameis Winston or another. But for Jeremiah Love, certainly, 588 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: he's acquitted himself as a pass catcher with fifty five 589 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: receptions the last two years. 590 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,480 Speaker 4: You look at his. 591 00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 1: Yards per Carrie per catch. A big explosive player, no question. 592 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:55,240 Speaker 1: Top ten, Top fifteen, definitely, But Barkley's regression this year 593 00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,160 Speaker 1: behind an offensive line, because that's what you're looking at 594 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: with the Giants, right, You got Thomas and a lot 595 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 1: of question marks on your own line that you still 596 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: need to fortify that before I'd be going all in 597 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: on a running back. 598 00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 4: Now, let me let me just let me just throw 599 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 4: this body. 600 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 1: Then, before he say going all on a running back, 601 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: Let's go back to twenty twenty three in the NFL draft, 602 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 1: where Bryce Young goes number one overall, C J. Stroud 603 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: goes number two, Jean Robinson went eight, and Jamier Gibbs 604 00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 1: went twelve. If you are redrafting now, are those guys 605 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: going to eight and twelve or are they going one two? 606 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure Bijon Robinson and Jamier Gibbs are going 607 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: one too. If you're redoing the NFL draft, Heinzite's twenty 608 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: twenty right. What I'm saying is to say that I 609 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:38,120 Speaker 1: don't want to tell look how good these got me. 610 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,160 Speaker 1: Look you can see that. Hey, it works out now 611 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: taking these guys, these guys are huge weapons. Bryce has 612 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: been pretty good, and ric o'doddell and Chew Muhamard have 613 00:29:47,120 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: been pretty good. No, no, no, I'm just saying in 614 00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:52,040 Speaker 1: theory of the level player they are. Are you taking 615 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: Bryce Young still number one? Are you taking Bijon Robinson? 616 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: Are you taking Bryce Young? Or are you taking Jamiir Gibbs? 617 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 1: Just one team, not to talking about your fits, what 618 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: you need for a team. Hey, who's the better player 619 00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: who's turned out to be the better player those guys have. 620 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: So you can take you can take a running back 621 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,040 Speaker 1: number one, and it's and it's it's proven that the 622 00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: last couple of years it can work for you. I'm 623 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:14,440 Speaker 1: always taking the qb Okay, all right, if I'm convinced 624 00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,320 Speaker 1: that the But you're always taking the quarterback. If you're 625 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: convinced the quarterback is there, I can find a running back. 626 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 4: But are you convinced the quarterbacks there? 627 00:30:22,400 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: This year? 628 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 1: You convinced in Fernanda Mendoza orre you convinced more for 629 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: Jeremiah Love. See that, I'm going I'm going different positions. 630 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 4: That's tough. I'm not getting the running back. I'm getting 631 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 4: a different position. Now. 632 00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:33,200 Speaker 1: Now you're going to going away from running back, go 633 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,800 Speaker 1: away from quarterback. You're like, you're like a GM. That's 634 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: like keeping everything close to the vest. You're like, look 635 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: like running out going safety. I'm going I just said 636 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: he was going to take a running back. Now he 637 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: said he's going to take a quarterback. Now he said 638 00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 1: he's going lineback. I don't know what he's doing there. 639 00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,160 Speaker 1: Gotta keep you guessing he's I don't know, I don't 640 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: know he may I'm not committing to either of those positions, 641 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: and Mike Harmon has passed at the top of the draft. 642 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: I'm taking alignment, I'm taking an edge, didn't get the 643 00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: card and in time had seven names on the card. 644 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 1: Time Out, Harmon. He wants to talk it over. No, 645 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: I'm literally, I'm just I'm just not going running back 646 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: or quarterback in that slot this year. Exit out out 647 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: a Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon live 648 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,000 Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Time out to find 649 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:22,000 Speaker 1: out what's trending in the wide world of sports.
