Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

8
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: There's loud going on in the NFL. Giants have an

9
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: interim coach Eagles. AJ Brown has all the leverage. Didn't

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: trade him after the Super Bowl? Didn't trade him at

11
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 1: the trade deadline? Well, AJ Brown knows he got the leverage.

12
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: Now they're stuck with him. What's to do in San

13
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Francisco with Mac Jones? He's under contract with the Niners.

14
00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: They'd have to trade him. But if Dante More doesn't

15
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: come out after Mendoza, there's four teams in the top

16
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: eight nine that need a quarterback. All of these questions.

17
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: Albert Brier joining us live Monday morning. Quarterback, Let's start

18
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: a J Brown? Did Philly can seriously think? Did they

19
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: seriously consider moving him at the deadline? Because there was

20
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: noise in drama. There's more after it, but there were

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 1: some before it.

22
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 3: No I mean, I think they may consider doing it

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 3: after this season, but based on where they are and

24
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 3: how leverage they are to win in the here and

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: the now. They're defending a championship. This is what they

26
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 3: signed up for. They knew what they signed up for.

27
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 3: And this is honestly one of Nick Sirianni's strengths is

28
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 3: being able to handle and manage egos. It's one of

29
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 3: the reasons why they could afford to take Jalen Carter

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: ninth overall when some teams had him off their boards.

31
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 3: And it's why you can acquire a player like this

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 3: who wasn't always perfect in Tennessee either. So you know,

33
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 3: I think the Eagles long ago made the decision they

34
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,959
Speaker 3: were going to ride it out this year with AJ Brown,

35
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: and you know, went past the trade deadline without much

36
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 3: thought of moving him. Could you get to the offseason

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 3: and could things change? Then they certainly could, Colin. I mean,

38
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 3: that's when you have the wherewithal to actually replace him

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: on the roster, which would have been difficult to do

40
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 3: in season. And we'll see what his value would be.

41
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: That's a factor too here. I mean, he's going to

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: be twenty nine years old, He's got, you know, some

43
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 3: chronic knee issues that it was part of the reason

44
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 3: why Tennessee traded him in the first place, and so like,

45
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: I don't think you'd expect to get back for him

46
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: what you traded for him, you know, a few years ago.

47
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 3: So I certainly I think that'd be on the table

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: in the offseason.

49
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 4: But it wasn't. You know, it wasn't last week.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: We were talking about this with Mac Jones earlier. They're

51
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: in no hurry to being pretty back. Max had a

52
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: really good season, three three hundred yard games without Ricky Parasol,

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:37,519
Speaker 1: without Brandon Aiyuk. I can see Minnesota if JJ McCarthy

54
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,519
Speaker 1: plays out in the season and they don't feel right

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,119
Speaker 1: and they're like they do in Indianapolis and go get

56
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 1: somebody they like in the league. This is how Darnold

57
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: and Baker and Daniel Jones' career has been resurrected. That

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: teams are like, we just there may be one quarterback

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: in the draft we like, we can't get him, Let's

60
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: go with something we know.

61
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: I don't know.

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I think Mac Jones it's our next reclamation project.

63
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 6: What do you think the Niners do well?

64
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 3: It's interesting you bring that up call because there are

65
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: some teams that are already looking at the idea of, like,

66
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: you know, what we do in the off season, and

67
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:13,519
Speaker 3: could there be another Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones,

68
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 3: Gino Smith type of story out there to go and

69
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: seize it pon, especially, like you said, with the draft

70
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,519
Speaker 3: class maybe not looking like what people had hoped it

71
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: would be coming into the year. You know, Nuss Meyer

72
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 3: get gets benched in the middle of the Alabama game,

73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: Drew Aller is hurt, right, like Lenora Sellers maybe going

74
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 3: back to school. Bernando Mendoza looks like he's going to

75
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: go high up, but he may be the only first

76
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 3: rounder at this point.

77
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: You know, we have to let those things play out.

78
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 3: But right now it does look like there's going to

79
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 3: be more teams needing quarterbacks that are going to be

80
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 3: available in the first round of the draft, And so

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: you look at these reclamation projects and I think the

82
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 3: Niners would look at the idea of moving him to

83
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,040
Speaker 3: get some draft capital because they have.

84
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: To get younger and they won't be the only one.

85
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 3: You mentioned Minnesota, you know, potentially looking that could be

86
00:03:57,760 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: one of the teams that's looking for.

87
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: One of those reclamation projects.

88
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 7: You know.

89
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: I think mac Jones is in that category.

90
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 3: Some teams have looked at the idea, could Kyler Murray

91
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: be available after the year, Could to a toungue of

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: Belwa be available after the year. I think there are

93
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 3: gonna be teams on both sides this coin. They are

94
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: gonna be teams that are gonna be looking at a

95
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 3: player on the roster and say, maybe we've, you know,

96
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: reached the end of the road with this player, maybe.

97
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,120
Speaker 4: We can get something for him.

98
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: And I think on the other end of the ledger,

99
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 3: you are going to have teams that are going to

100
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: be looking to see if they can find their own

101
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 3: version of Daniel Jones, Baker Mayfield or Sam Darnold.

102
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: So I was thinking about I mentioned this that not

103
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: all coaches that get fired are bad coaches.

104
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 6: Mike McCarthy.

105
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,479
Speaker 1: The two examples I have used to comp Sean McDermott

106
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,919
Speaker 1: are Chuck Knox and Marty Schottenheimer. Excellent, but they would

107
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 1: not they didn't win enough in the postseason. They were

108
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 1: seen as conservative guys. They get to the postseason. Chuck

109
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Knox could turn the Seahawks around, the Rams around. Marty

110
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: did the Chargers. But eventually people you start winning those games,

111
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: they want postseason success. So I've said I feel mcder

112
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: is now our Chuck Knox. Nobody dispute you can coach,

113
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: but there are holes on this offense and Tampa. Let's

114
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: say Tampa goes into Buffalo.

115
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 6: This weekend and wins.

116
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I think the GM is safe and McDermott

117
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: is right bo that Miami game. If you went home

118
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 1: and lost to Tampa, I it's gonna get really uncomfortable.

119
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: Is there a hot seat with McDermott or is this

120
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: just media talk thousands of miles away from Buffalo and

121
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on.

122
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 4: I think for right now it's just media talk, right like.

123
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 3: But I would say that having a quarterback of the

124
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 3: magnitude of Josh Allen, who I mean has probably been

125
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: the best player in the league over the last two years,

126
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 3: does amp up the pressure on everybody to get it done.

127
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:52,840
Speaker 3: And you know there's a feeling like if you keep

128
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: knocking in the door and you can't quite get there,

129
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: then do you have to look at something else to

130
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 3: give yourself a spark. I don't think anybody like you said,

131
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: would argue with the job that Sean McDermott and Brandon

132
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 3: Bean have done.

133
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 4: That they've gone to the playoffs in seven of eight years.

134
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: Considering where they where Buffalo was when they got there,

135
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 3: it's pretty remarkable. Six playoff years in a row, five

136
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 3: AFCAS titles in a row. So, like I think you

137
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 3: take into account everything they've accomplished. I'm going to give

138
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 3: you another comp here that I think is probably apt

139
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: in this case, Tony Dungee in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

140
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 3: And if you go back and you look at the

141
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 3: mid nineties, right, that Buccaneers team that Dongee took over

142
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 3: was a sorry outfit, right like one of the doormats

143
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 3: in all of sports. Almost like you had to be

144
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: there to know how bad that was, to remember what

145
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 3: that was. They were the laughing stock of the NFL.

146
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,680
Speaker 3: Tony Dungee gets there, he gets them up to level ground.

147
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,119
Speaker 3: I think they made the playoffs four times in five years,

148
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: went to an NFC title game, and they kept.

149
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: Knocking on the door and knocking on the door.

150
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,160
Speaker 3: And as they went, Warren Sapp and Derek Brooks and

151
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 3: Ronde Barber and John Lynch were getting older, and eventually

152
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: it got to the point where he needs somebody to

153
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 3: put us over the top. It didn't mean Tony Dungee

154
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 3: couldn't coach. But you remember what happened.

155
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: At the end of a one.

156
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: They started to flirt with Bill Parcells, that didn't work out.

157
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: They trade for John Gruden, they won a super Bowl

158
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: the next year. Can argue whether or not that was

159
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: the right move for the long term, but it did

160
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 3: get them a championship in the short term. So that's

161
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 3: the one that I think of when I'm thinking of

162
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 3: this situation again, Like, I don't think there's any hot

163
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 3: seat there now. We don't know how the rest of

164
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: the year is going to play out. So if Buffalo

165
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: over to somehow missed the playoffs, which I don't think

166
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 3: is going to happen, to be clear, then I think

167
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 3: you start to hear a little bit more of that

168
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: based on where they are and based on the urgency

169
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 3: that's created by having a player of the magnitude Allen.

170
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,600

183
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: The it's it's really interesting on the Packers. So all

184
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Detroit's head coach has taken the game

185
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,680
Speaker 1: plan away from the OC. Minnesota's got a JJ McCarthy issue.

186
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: The you know, the Bears are surging and appear to

187
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 1: have you know, the next great young coach Stikeen and

188
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson. And here's Matt Lafleur with an offense that

189
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: is lost. They can't run the ball, and he'd like

190
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: to they they lost craft, but I mean, just no identity.

191
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 1: Cleveland losses, Carolina losses, can't score again. It is I

192
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,640
Speaker 1: don't I think it's absurd to question Matt Lafleur, but.

193
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 6: It is.

194
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: With it it always Matt. If your rival is surgeon

195
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,840
Speaker 1: and you watch Chicago. What do you make of what's

196
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 1: happening the heat in Green Bay and Lafleur in company.

197
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there are a couple of reasons why

198
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,320
Speaker 3: people are why people are bringing this up now. Number

199
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: one is a changing of the guard at the top

200
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 3: of the organization. Right, Mike Mark Murphy was the president

201
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 3: there for almost twenty years. He hired Matt Lafleur, he

202
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 3: retired over the summer, and Policy, who had been there before,

203
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 3: comes in as the team president.

204
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 4: They don't extend Lafleur.

205
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 3: Or the general manager, Brian Gudukunz, which naturally raises the

206
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 3: question like does the new team president, who extensively in

207
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 3: Green Bay is the owner?

208
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: Does he want to bring in his own people? So

209
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 4: that's number one.

210
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: The number two, You've got this group of young players

211
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,680
Speaker 3: that you've built around.

212
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: It's Jordan Love, but it's also a lot of the other.

213
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 3: Guys around him that are right there in year three,

214
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:55,200
Speaker 3: year four, year five, and this is when the rocket

215
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: ship should be taking off. And then you trade for

216
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 3: Micah Parsons, which only pushes the chip further into the

217
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,320
Speaker 3: middle of the table. And so like there's that feeling

218
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: that this is you're all in year with Micah Parsons

219
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: coming over, with Jordan Love now in a fifty five

220
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 3: million dollar per year contract, and if you're not performing

221
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 3: to the standard, then you know, those questions naturally are

222
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 3: going to come up. New team president, big expenditure on

223
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 3: the quarterback, big expenditure on a defensive star. So like

224
00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 3: of course that question is going to come up, like,

225
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 3: is this ed policies guy going forward? That said, I

226
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 3: think he is, you know, and I think if you

227
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 3: look at like the value that Matt Lafluor brought to

228
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: the franchise over you know, his early years when he

229
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 3: was managing the Aaron Rodgers mess, he was developing Jordan

230
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 3: Love in the background. He got Jordan Love ready to play.

231
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: There's a ton of value in what Matt Lafleur has accomplished.

232
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 3: So I think if this somehow goes the wrong way,

233
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 3: my guess would be there may be a staff shakeup.

234
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 3: There may be some new offensive coaches there, because I

235
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 3: think Jeff Athley's done a great job on the defensive

236
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 3: side of the ball.

237
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: But I'd be surprised if floor lined up gone.

238
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, finally, I know how this Mike Hofka thing is

239
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna work is that the media is gonna like him

240
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: because he's friendly and smart. Jackson Darnal like him because

241
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 1: he played in the NFL quarterback end of the season

242
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: schedule for the Giants, the weakest part of their tough schedule,

243
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: the last four games. They may win a couple of them.

244
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 1: And by the way, he's not as bombastak or as

245
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: intense as as Dable, so the players will probably like him.

246
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: It's my substitute teacher, the interim coach. Everybody always loves him.

247
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: And then seventy five chance the Giants are like, you

248
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 1: know what, he's our guy. And I said this earlier.

249
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: Here's what works in New York Fatino Tory Coughlin, Parcell's

250
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: culture changers, where you put kind of a fortress around

251
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: your culture and it doesn't matter what the sport is.

252
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: Pat Riley Tims had a little bit of this. I

253
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: got an identity. It's a culture beyond just scheming. Yeah,

254
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean I wouldn't hire Bell. I would go Mike

255
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: McCarthy or Lane Kiffin.

256
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 6: What do you.

257
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Make of I think this Kafka thing. I think I

258
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: called a GM. He said, Listen doesn't have much presence.

259
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: Smart guy, good guy, they're gonna like him, players are

260
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: going to like him.

261
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 6: How do you think this thing unfolds?

262
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: So I think you're right to feel like this is

263
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,400
Speaker 3: a very real audition. Look, the big reason why they

264
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 3: fire Brian Davil when they did, and it's not a

265
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 3: Giants type of thing to do an insights season firing.

266
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: But it's the definition of insanity to do the same

267
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 3: thing over and over again and expect a different result.

268
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: They're two and eight for the third year in a row.

269
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: They haven't won consecutive games in almost two years, which

270
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 3: is pretty remarkable. And they had the blown leads, like

271
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 3: right like, so they had the big wins and they regress.

272
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 3: They had the big winner of the Chargers regress against

273
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 3: the Saints, they had the big win over the Eagles.

274
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 4: They have the blown lead the next week against Denver.

275
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: Then they have another blown lead against Chicago. So clearly

276
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 4: they're looking for a spark.

277
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 3: But the other thing they're looking for here is a

278
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:03,439
Speaker 3: real evaluation of Kafka. And I would say this, I

279
00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 3: would pay attention to the general manager's history. Okay, Joe

280
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 3: Shane was in Miami in twenty fifteen.

281
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: In twenty fifteen.

282
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 3: The Dolphins fired Joe Philbin four games into the year.

283
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,439
Speaker 3: The interim coach there was Dan Campbell. By the end

284
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 3: of the year, Dan Campbell's hand picked coordinators were lou

285
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 3: Anarumo and Zach Taylor, and there was a feeling in

286
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 3: that building they had pretty good thing going. And then

287
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 3: they wind up saying, Nah, you know what, We're going

288
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 3: to go with Adam Gase. So look like I think

289
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: that there's They're going to cast a very wide net here.

290
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 3: That's their intention. They've done a lot of different things

291
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: over the last ten years. Right, They replaced Tom Kauflin

292
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 3: with the young, the young offensive assistant, Ben mcaduo. That

293
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: doesn't work. They bring in the retreat past Sherman, that

294
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,800
Speaker 3: doesn't work. They bring in the CEO type Joe Judge,

295
00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 3: that doesn't work. And then they go back to the

296
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 3: offensive assistant now Brian Dabon, and that doesn't work. So

297
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:54,959
Speaker 3: they are going to cast a wide net and look

298
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 3: at a lot of different types of coaches. But look

299
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 3: at Joe Shane's history, and I just wonder with Joe,

300
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 3: is there a little bit of like a you know,

301
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: back in Miami ten years ago, maybe we should have

302
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 3: paid more attention to the interim coach because we had

303
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 3: a really good one in house in Dan Campbell. I

304
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 3: think that tells you what you know at least about

305
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 3: Mike Kaffkan getting a shot. And I'm saying he's going

306
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 3: to get the job, but I think he does get

307
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: a legitimate look.

308
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: Albert Breer, good stuff Monday Morning Quarterback, all sorts of

309
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: moving and shaking. Big NFL weekend, some real big swing games.

310
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 1: Good seeing Albert.

311
00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: All right, thanks Colin.

312
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 1: I think the other thing that's fascinating, and I know

313
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 1: we're way early on this, but Mendoza for Indiana is

314
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: going to be the first quarterback. Taken a lot of

315
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: discussion now that Dante Moore stand at Oregon. That that

316
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I'm telling you Mac Jones is going to be Daniel Jones.

317
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: He's gonna be He's gonna be Baker Mayfield. Somebody's got

318
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: to go trade for that guy because Mac Jones is

319
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: spinning it without his number one or two receiver.

320
00:14:56,120 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 6: J Mack with the news, No tear on the news.

321
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 2: This is the herd Line News.

322
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 9: Seismic matchup tonight, Colin. On Thursday Night Football, the Jets

323
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 9: travel to New England. They were up to thirteen and

324
00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 9: a half point underdogs. You'll see that some Jets money

325
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 9: showing up today. I don't know if that's dumb money

326
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 9: or what, but they're down to twelve and a half

327
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 9: No Garrett Wilson tonight. Obviously, this will be another platform

328
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 9: for Drake May to you know, show everybody that maybe

329
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 9: he's better than Jayden Daniels. And let's be real, there

330
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 9: is an MVP. Yeah, conversation for me. I'll be real, Colin.

331
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 9: I came on here like five weeks ago. I was like,

332
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 9: bet them to be the number one seed. I think

333
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 9: that's in play. And if they're the number one seed,

334
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 9: May we'll get a look. I don't think he'll win it,

335
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 9: but former North Carolina coach Mack Brown, who coached May,

336
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 9: said that he doesn't realize he's a superstar.

337
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: And you know it's everything. You know, it's very Herbert.

338
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: He's humble, big, big arm moves. I mean that was

339
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 1: the call up out college. He's the East Coast, justin Herbert,

340
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: and that's what he looks like. Remember Herbert's rookie year

341
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: when he broke it. He had like thirty touchdowns. Herbert

342
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: broke all those Rutgers. He had Shane Steichen as an

343
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. The team wasn't great, but he was same situation.

344
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: You get a veteran offensive coordinator, a smart offensive guy.

345
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: He's very much Herbert that You'll get an occasional ugly pick,

346
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 1: big moves, great deep ball thrower. There's nothing I don't like.

347
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,800
Speaker 9: And humble reminder last year he did not start the

348
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:32,680
Speaker 9: season at quarterback.

349
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 5: Gerrod Mayo, the former head.

350
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 9: Coach of the Patriots, is like, we're starting our best

351
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 9: quarterback and he.

352
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 5: Started the other guy, Colin Drake. May's really freaking good.

353
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I'm not ready to go top five quarterback.

354
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 9: You know, I have Jalen Hurt cemented at five after

355
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 9: the Big four, but that sixth spot Stafford May, like,

356
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 9: you know, May's got to face some good teams. This

357
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 9: Jets defense is not great. You want to pick a

358
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 9: score here for tonight's.

359
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 6: Game, thirty to thirteen Patriots.

360
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 9: I don't want the Jets to win, obviously for draft status,

361
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 9: so I'll go twenty seven to nine.

362
00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: New England Roles in a snoozer.

363
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 9: Next up, Colin, We've got more Chiefs of Broncos chatter.

364
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,080
Speaker 9: This is obviously one of the best games of the weekend.

365
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,840
Speaker 9: And now there's some concern about bo Nix. He has

366
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 9: not been great. I know he's your guy, Nicks. He's

367
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:28,920
Speaker 9: been up and down. And here's Peyton, Actually here's Nick's

368
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 9: talking about.

369
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 6: His struggles.

370
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 10: Make this entertainment business a lot bigger than what it

371
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,120
Speaker 10: is when we forget that. You know, everybody's just out

372
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 10: here having a good time, having fun, doing the best

373
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 10: they can.

374
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 11: But for me, it's it's quite simple. Really. I dot

375
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 11: all my social media.

376
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,320
Speaker 10: I don't even have it, so unless somebody says it's

377
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 10: my face, I don't really hear it.

378
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,399
Speaker 11: And nobody's ever bold enough to say it to your face.

379
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 6: I love that, you know, I mean that's probably smart,

380
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 6: you know.

381
00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: It's I think the thing that's been disturbing the completion percentage.

382
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: I can live with a I can live with a

383
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of these numbers. I can live with eighteen touchdowns,

384
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: eight interceptions. The completion percentage worries me because I thought

385
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: out of college he was a really accurate thrower, and

386
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: I always thought you gave up a little ceiling with him.

387
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 6: But he was a high floor guy.

388
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: But now the flora's dropped, so I don't get the

389
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: high ceiling and the flora's dropped, so it's troubling. I

390
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: think he'll play his way out of it. I got

391
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: to tell you, giving Denver over a field goal at

392
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: home with that defense, it's I mean again, I I'll

393
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: tell you right now, I'm not betting this that defense

394
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: at home. Bonick's been very good trailing and I get

395
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: the hook at a hard game for me to bet

396
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: against Denver.

397
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 5: He's got about almost twenty games.

398
00:18:47,119 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: Now, I said a week ago, I know I did.

399
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: I said, take Kansas City. But the closer we get

400
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: to this thing with ninety percent of the public on

401
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:55,280
Speaker 1: Kansas City, now to.

402
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 6: Me, it's yeah.

403
00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: I mean when he was an Oregon Banks staff, he

404
00:18:59,119 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 1: completed seven of his throws. So the one thing we

405
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: knew is, you know a lot of starts, super accurate,

406
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: and now he's lost that.

407
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 6: So it's like, wow, what's going on?

408
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,520
Speaker 9: Yeah, No, Patrick Stirtan, Obviously this is a tough one, Colin.

409
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 9: There's twenty about twenty games of dataf you and I

410
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 9: include the playoffs on Knicks as an NFL quarterback and

411
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 9: to see defenses kind of bottle him up. Listen, if

412
00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 9: heart Casey's been susceptible to the run. Jacksonville ran on

413
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 9: him with ETN Buffalo ran on him. I need to

414
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 9: see Harvey get loose. If Harvey's touching eighty yards ninety

415
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 9: yards in the fourth Denver will be live. But if

416
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,639
Speaker 9: he's in the thirty forty to fifty range, they're cooked.

417
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 9: Final story, Colin and the staff loves this guy. Jameis Winston.

418
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 9: He is starting for the New York Giants. Somehow leap

419
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 9: frog Russell Wilson. Obviously, the media loves Jameis Winston. Social

420
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 9: media loves Jameis Winston. He's a little wacky, he's a

421
00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 9: little silly. Here he is talking about his expectations for Sunday.

422
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 7: Almo fans. I'm gonna do my best, you know. Obviously

423
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 7: I'm gonna have fun, but I'm going to execute, uh,

424
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 7: have a surgical execution. Uh and just and just play ball, man,

425
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 7: Like this is something I've been doing since I've been

426
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 7: four years old, and now I just get to do it.

427
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 4: In the greatest city in the world.

428
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 7: I'm gonna be saying, what, my son, who's the greatest

429
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 7: city in the world.

430
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, that's that's a Hamilton referencing.

431
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a little sholly.

432
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: But you know what, he's a nice guy and and

433
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: it's his career has been, uh, it's been.

434
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 6: You know, not all journeys are similar.

435
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 9: He's gonna he's gonna transition to media very well, right,

436
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 9: He'll he'll be a smash hit on one of these shows,

437
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 9: the Sunday Show, pregame, post game, whatever it is. You

438
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 9: think he's got any chance to beat up on this

439
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 9: Packers defense on Sunday at home Darius Slayton.

440
00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 5: We're waiting to see if he plays.

441
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 9: If he does it, Oh boy, Jamie's got nothing on

442
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 9: the outside.

443
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like I like Green Bay. If I was

476
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: J Max always love Austin Reeves and I think he's fine.

477
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 6: I think he's in that.

478
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: Derek White, Although Derek White is a much better defensive player,

479
00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: and Derek to me, he's a better three point shooter.

480
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: But Austin Reeves and Derek White love to have him

481
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 1: on my team as like the number four starter. Then

482
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 1: you're a championship team. As a third starter, third best starter,

483
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: you're a playoff team that co win a series. But

484
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 1: j Max said Austin Reeves top six domestic player. Okay,

485
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: so I'm not going to count ad, Jason Tatum, and Lebron.

486
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,280
Speaker 9: Who are hurt Halliburton too, you can't count him.

487
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not going to So I won't count those.

488
00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 1: I would take all four over him. So I'm not

489
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: going to count those four Halliburton, Lebron, a d and

490
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,199
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, and they're all better than Austin Reeves. So

491
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: here's the top tier guys that are active domestic that

492
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: he's absolutely not better than Anthony Edwards, Caid Cunningham. He's

493
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,479
Speaker 1: not in the same class, Tyrese Maxie, Steph Curry, Jalen Brunson,

494
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: Jalen Brown, Devin Booker. That's seven guys active. He not

495
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 1: in that class, and he not close to Aunt or

496
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,919
Speaker 1: Caid Cunningham. He not even close to those guys, or

497
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 1: Steph Curry for that matter. So here's the second tier

498
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: guys who every GM in the league would take over him,

499
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 1: Donovan Mitchell, bam On a Bayou who's a very good

500
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 1: two way player, Kevin Durant, and Karl Anthony Towns. You

501
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: don't have to love him, he's offensively one of the

502
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: best domestic bigs we've had in fifteen years.

503
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 6: He's a great bang, a unbelievable store.

504
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: And then third tier dude have to be literally on

505
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: cough medication to take Austin Reeves over third tier Evan Mobley,

506
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: Jalen Williams or.

507
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 6: Powell Ban Carroll.

508
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: In fact, i'd put Bank Carroll above Karl Anthony Towns.

509
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 1: I'd move Towns to the third. So that's I have

510
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 1: fourteen active guys who are better, and I'm not gonna

511
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,120
Speaker 1: count Tatum Halliburton, A dear lebron.

512
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 9: I just called a twenty second time out, So let's

513
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 9: rewind the tape. I did say he's top fifteen, which

514
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 9: puts him on the.

515
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: All Star team.

516
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 9: Then I got so excited in the live moment here

517
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 9: on TV, I said Austin Reeves top six this season.

518
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 9: He's top seven in points and assists. Okay, and we

519
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,680
Speaker 9: could go side by said obviously Kate Cunningham, no doubt

520
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 9: about it.

521
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 4: You take him.

522
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 9: But the problem with the discussion, Colin is all those

523
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 9: Americans you named their number one options on their team.

524
00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 4: Devin Booker is the.

525
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 5: Guy in famos think huh for a reason?

526
00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 9: Well, I mean Austin Reeves was holding it down with

527
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 9: out putting up thirty and forty points per game.

528
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 5: I probably got a little excited. He's probably not to me.

529
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 1: Let me fill another guy in that I didn't count,

530
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 1: who's definitely a tier three guy, Amn Thompson Eran Thompson's

531
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:15,359
Speaker 1: awesome every g. I mean, probably the best athlete in

532
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:15,879
Speaker 1: the league.

533
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 9: But if Kevin Durant go's down and shengun go down,

534
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 9: is Iman Thompson leading the Rockets on an eight and

535
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 9: three surch No, because he can't create the way that

536
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,800
Speaker 9: Austin Reeves can.

537
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 5: And I will point out and the staff wants me to.

538
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 9: Let you know that you keep busting Austin Reeves chops

539
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 9: for getting worked by Ant in the playoffs.

540
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 5: He did. He was also playing hurt.

541
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 9: He had, like Brock Perdy and Joe Burrow, a major

542
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 9: toe injury and was not one hundred percent.

543
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 6: You can look it up.

544
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 5: It's well documented. So Reeves was playing a little wounded

545
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 5: and Aunt went.

546
00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: After I always the way I look at NBA players

547
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: is I look at you.

548
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 6: Are you a one on a championship team? And there's

549
00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 6: not many of those.

550
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 5: There's not many at all.

551
00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: No, though, that's Steph Lebron, Kobe Shack, Magic Bird, that

552
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 1: is rarefied air. I mean, we don't even think ant

553
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 1: Is Jokic is. I think Wemby will be. I've argued

554
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: Jason Tatum, I'm not sure about it. I think he

555
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 1: is okay, but I'm saying, okay, that is a superstar.

556
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 6: We know Austin Reeves, isn't that?

557
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: A two is an all star level player that is

558
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 1: usually dominant. It's something Jalen Brown's a two. Anthony Davis,

559
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: a dominant defender, is a two. I don't think Austin

560
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Reeves is that okay. So he doesn't have dominant physical traits.

561
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 1: He's not big and strong. He's a great shock career.

562
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: A three is can take over games in moments. Now,

563
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 1: that's your argument. That's Klay Thompson in his prime. That's

564
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 1: Draymond Green, you know, catalyst defensive. That's where you can

565
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: argue Austin Reeves is at he's in that three spot

566
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: where he's not a superstar. He's not a dominant physical specimen.

567
00:26:59,480 --> 00:26:59,680
Speaker 5: Two.

568
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: What is he Clay Thompson in his prime? Now, Clay

569
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 1: was a much better defensive player. Different I'd argue he's

570
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,600
Speaker 1: a low end that or a super high end four.

571
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: Derek White, to me, is like the highest four in

572
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: the league.

573
00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 9: So a Clay comp is fascinating because he was a

574
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 9: catch and shoot guy. Remember, but he was an elite points,

575
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 9: elite defensive player. Yes, he was a superstar laitiate like all.

576
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 9: I don't know if can Reeves get to that level.

577
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,760
Speaker 9: I don't know the answer. He's in his prime and

578
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 9: he's ex to Luca. So Clay was alongside Steph Clear.

579
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 9: Now you are now agreeing with me.

580
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 1: He's not a superstar and nor is he a multiple

581
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: time All Star. You could argue he's a really low three,

582
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: which he is kind of a liability on the defensive end.

583
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: He's not a super athlete. He's not intimidated. Like I'll

584
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: give you a player who I think is a three,

585
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 1: but not a huge score. I think Aaron Gordon for

586
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,160
Speaker 1: Denver is one of the best threes in the league.

587
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: He's awesome, unbelievable length, strength, can score, clutch defense. But

588
00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,800
Speaker 1: he's not He's not one of those guys that everybody

589
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 1: you have to really like basketball and watch him. I

590
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: think Jalen Williams is arguably the best three in the

591
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 1: league for OKC JW.

592
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 11: Yeah, he's good.

593
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 9: Jay, let me ask you, so, let's go back to

594
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 9: Clay Clay forget the championship, just him personally.

595
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 5: He made All NBA twice in his career.

596
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 4: Third team.

597
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 9: Will Austin Reeves be All NBA twice in his NBA career?

598
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:29,919
Speaker 1: No West, no now, no chance, no huh interesting Reeves

599
00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: is twenty seven.

600
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, he's just starting his prime.

601
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, but he's not going to get more athletic.

602
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 5: This is what he is for at least three or

603
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,000
Speaker 5: four more years. He's going to be a great athlete.

604
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 6: Right. This is what he is. What you're seeing is

605
00:28:42,040 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 6: what he is.

606
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 5: Now you think this is the best he's going to be?

607
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 6: Yes?

608
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: Yes, And I also think he's better with JJ Reddick

609
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:50,880
Speaker 1: than Darvin Ham because JJ Redicks an offensive player. It's

610
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: like Ruey Ruey is what he is. JJ Reddick will

611
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: make him the best version of Ruie. But he's not

612
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,160
Speaker 1: a great defensive player. He's a little inconsistent. Austin Reeves

613
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: can have stinker games, But I mean Austin is either

614
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 1: a low end three or a great four. That's a

615
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 1: that's a terrific player. That's that's Derek White of the Celtics.

616
00:29:11,720 --> 00:29:12,959
Speaker 6: Tremendous player.

617
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 9: Okay, I got excited. I'm not gonna lie the top six.

618
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 9: In hindsight, we have one of the guys on the

619
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 9: show text me, Jay Mack, you've lost your mind, you know?

620
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 9: And I okay, I got excited. I dressed up as

621
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 9: Austin Reeves on The show Man.

622
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 5: You could tell. I'm a fan. I like the guy.

623
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 5: I like underdogs.

624
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 6: I listen a lot of people like underdogs.

625
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 9: Now you like front runners, you like the big superstars,

626
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 9: number one picks.

627
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 5: Those are the guys you rock with.

628
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 1: Now an interesting guy, a comp what's Zach Levine? So

629
00:29:44,680 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: now I like, yeah, you like him? Alaw, he's a gunner.

630
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: Of course you do. So my take is my take

631
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: is I there's an argument. I take Austin Reeves over

632
00:29:54,680 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 1: Zach Levine. I do think Austin is more of a

633
00:29:56,960 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: winning player. I also think he initiates com untact and

634
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: gets the line. He's got zero. I mean, you know,

635
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 1: undrafted guy zero ego. That's an interesting Zach's the much

636
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: better athlete, much better athlete and just just longer, quicker.

637
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: But Austin Reeves doesn't need the ball. I mean, Austin's

638
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: one of those guys that could be the third or

639
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,959
Speaker 1: fourth scoring option and be content with it. I mean,

640
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: he already said I don't need a lot of money.

641
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 1: So there are things about his psychology. I do like

642
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: he's a team guy. Austin's a team guy.

643
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 9: Yeah, historically Joe Dumars or Austin Reeves, Joe Dumarsar.

644
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 5: Is a good defender. He's a better offensive player.

645
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, Joe dumars Okay, yeah.

646
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 5: I think it's I think it's closed. Reason might pass

647
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 5: him here in a year or two.

648
