- 0:52Speaker 2: Well, funderline, great ass.
- 0:54Speaker 5: You call me a Christian, so Vic, I think you
- 0:58Speaker 5: were gone for this. But Barker Kelly, this great goal.
- 1:01Speaker 2: What is going on with this guy?
- 1:03Speaker 5: And this was what a week week and a half
- 1:05Speaker 5: ago something like that. And I said, if he does
- 1:07Speaker 5: anything that cool, it's not butter my button called me
- 1:10Speaker 5: a biscuit. It's better, my ass and called me a biscuit.
- 1:12Speaker 2: And uh doing that last night.
- 1:14Speaker 5: A couple of goals for him, huge and the abs overall, Like,
- 1:18Speaker 5: here's the thing, Vic, what I've come to the conclusion
- 1:20Speaker 5: to it's five games post Olympic break, their four and one.
- 1:23Speaker 5: They had that one clunker again against Minnesota. But I
- 1:28Speaker 5: think one thing has been confirmed, that little rut that
- 1:32Speaker 5: they were in pre Olympic break. That was a combination
- 1:37Speaker 5: of yes, Landy and Taves being hurt, but also Vic
- 1:41Speaker 5: it was just massive senior itis. They saw the break
- 1:43Speaker 5: coming and they just felt like they didn't care.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Last night was dominant, was the but But but if
- 1:50Speaker 2: you take a look right behind them, Dallas wins again.
- 1:56Speaker 2: Dallas has now won ten in a row. Yep, what
- 2:01Speaker 2: still has happened?
- 2:02Speaker 5: Still gaining no ground though, like there's still six points back,
- 2:05Speaker 5: Aves have a game in hand. But yes, they continue
- 2:07Speaker 5: to win. It feels like Minnesota is far enough out
- 2:10Speaker 5: of reach because they're nine points back with the Apps
- 2:12Speaker 5: having two games in a hand that Dallas is your
- 2:15Speaker 5: only worry right now. Yeah, they're playing well, but that's
- 2:19Speaker 5: why you need to continue to play well. And that
- 2:21Speaker 5: was a beautiful game yesterday.
- 2:22Speaker 2: And both teams are off until they meet. Is it
- 2:24Speaker 2: Friday night? Yes, Friday Friday night in Dallas, first time
- 2:30Speaker 2: they've met since very early in the season. You know
- 2:32Speaker 2: that kind of game is it's sort of like the Nuggets. Okay,
- 2:35Speaker 2: see game Yeah, can't wait right, yep. And I have
- 2:38Speaker 2: a feeling it's gonna have fireworks like the Nuggets. Okay,
- 2:40Speaker 2: see did too? Yep. I have a feeling everyone knows
- 2:44Speaker 2: what this kind of game means.
- 2:45Speaker 5: I mean this was you got to go all the
- 2:47Speaker 5: way back to the third game of the year. Yeah,
- 2:49Speaker 5: and they lost to Dallas in a shootout. But if
- 2:54Speaker 5: you look at what's going right for the Avs right now,
- 2:59Speaker 5: and I like to compare them back to twenty twenty
- 3:01Speaker 5: two when they won the Cup and the things that
- 3:03Speaker 5: they had then, which is your top players need to
- 3:06Speaker 5: be playing at the elite level that you come to expect.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Whatever sort of hiccups that McKinnon dealt with the first
- 3:14Speaker 5: couple of games post Olympic break are gone. He is
- 3:16Speaker 5: back to being full force again.
- 3:18Speaker 2: Consider your top players. Kale scored, Yeah, Marty Nacho scored
- 3:23Speaker 2: And can I say something, Natchius is playing unbelievable. He's
- 3:29Speaker 2: got since the break, he's come back to played five games.
- 3:32Speaker 2: He's got five goals in five assists in those five games,
- 3:35Speaker 2: ten points total. Gabe scored on what I considered the
- 3:38Speaker 2: prettiest pass I saw all night, That little thread the
- 3:41Speaker 2: needle pass from McKinnon. Gabe was just beautiful.
- 3:47Speaker 5: Despite some other beliefs, gab Blandiskag is hugely important to
- 3:52Speaker 5: this team, and it's not just for the leadership impact,
- 3:55Speaker 5: which is obviously a huge thing. Do you know the
- 3:58Speaker 5: record of the Avs with and without game this year, Well,
- 4:00Speaker 5: it's unreal.
- 4:01Speaker 2: He got hurt in January and that's when they sort
- 4:04Speaker 2: of struggled, but not short of they did, so I
- 4:07Speaker 2: imagine the record is obvious.
- 4:10Speaker 5: So I just had it pulled up. Sorry, let me
- 4:12Speaker 5: find it again. The record without Landeskag.
- 4:17Speaker 2: This year.
- 4:20Speaker 5: Is, oh, come on, computer, pull it up. I'll find
- 4:25Speaker 5: it in the second. Computer's freezing. But it's immensely different,
- 4:29Speaker 5: and you could tell the flip happened the second that
- 4:32Speaker 5: he got hurt, and especially the scary way that he did.
- 4:34Speaker 5: Remember we thought it was like his knee again when
- 4:36Speaker 5: he first went down against Florida. But he's been playing
- 4:40Speaker 5: at a level since for the rest of the year
- 4:42Speaker 5: where it's like he's averaging what would be the equivalent
- 4:45Speaker 5: to a sixty five point season, which is super high level.
- 4:47Speaker 5: It's what you want from a second line guy. For
- 4:49Speaker 5: those wondering, Moser is not late this morning, he's not.
- 4:52Speaker 5: I usually call him on it when he's late. He's
- 4:55Speaker 5: doing something noble. He's playing golf at a really sweet course.
- 5:00Speaker 5: I'm very jealous.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Oh, here you go.
- 5:02Speaker 5: The Avs are thirty five four and seven with Gabe
- 5:05Speaker 5: Landeskott this season.
- 5:08Speaker 2: Thirty five four and seven with how about without? Six
- 5:12Speaker 2: six and two. Okay, yeah, it's a different team. It
- 5:16Speaker 2: seems very different.
- 5:17Speaker 5: Yeah, it feels like a lot of those Valinachushkin stats
- 5:20Speaker 5: that we had back in the day, where Val, if
- 5:22Speaker 5: he was missing, they're a five hundred hockey team and
- 5:24Speaker 5: when he plays, they're great.
- 5:26Speaker 2: What if VAL's going to be I've heard whispers about
- 5:30Speaker 2: Val being involved in trade deadline stuff. Well, he's in
- 5:34Speaker 2: one right now.
- 5:34Speaker 5: He's got If you look at just the goals scored
- 5:38Speaker 5: by Val, he's scored one goal since the New year.
- 5:44Speaker 2: Listen, I don't take it. It doesn't take a private
- 5:48Speaker 2: investigator to figure out he is not the player he
- 5:52Speaker 2: was when the Avs made their Stanley Cup run, nor
- 5:56Speaker 2: the year after when he got in trouble. Right, Yeah,
- 5:59Speaker 2: he's not the same player.
- 6:02Speaker 5: He had a decent like he had a good start
- 6:04Speaker 5: to the year, though he was he was alright at
- 6:06Speaker 5: the beginning. It's just there's something that has flipped since
- 6:09Speaker 5: the new year that they can't seem to find right now.
- 6:12Speaker 5: And I don't know what that is, but he's got
- 6:15Speaker 5: to find it in hurry now. He does a whole
- 6:16Speaker 5: bunch of other things that that you know, don't show
- 6:19Speaker 5: up on the stat sheet. He's a really good backchecker,
- 6:21Speaker 5: all that different stuff.
- 6:22Speaker 2: What time is coach joining us? He's gonna join us
- 6:24Speaker 2: at nine this morning? All right, So I take it
- 6:26Speaker 2: he's not playing golf with the boys, or maybe he is.
- 6:30Speaker 2: I don't know. It's a much deserved day off. It's
- 6:34Speaker 2: a complete day off for the Avs as they embark
- 6:37Speaker 2: on that trip to Dallas after winning to in the
- 6:41Speaker 2: Greater Los Angeles metro area. Yep, they By the way,
- 6:46Speaker 2: of course, they're playing. Is very expensive.
- 6:48Speaker 6: By the way, sorry, Moser told me how much it was,
- 6:52Speaker 6: and they I wouldn't play, Yeah, but I don't know
- 6:54Speaker 6: if any they're getting a deal, how good of a
- 6:57Speaker 6: deal half.
- 7:00Speaker 2: That's still a lot. It's still up. But you'd play.
- 7:02Speaker 2: His place is sweet? I played it years ago, and
- 7:05Speaker 2: I would play it again at that price. Yeah, half
- 7:10Speaker 2: is still a lot. It's a lot.
- 7:12Speaker 5: But they have also depth, which is shown in the
- 7:17Speaker 5: way of Parker Kelly and how he's playing this year.
- 7:20Speaker 5: Do we have Yeah, we have m ckiinnon on this.
- 7:22Speaker 5: Uh listen, listen to Nate talk about Parker Kelly after
- 7:25Speaker 5: the game.
- 7:28Speaker 2: He's always talking about how bad his contracts he signed.
- 7:32Speaker 2: That he's rattled about it, but you know it's okay
- 7:35Speaker 2: as a team guy.
- 7:36Speaker 5: So he's talking about how bad his contract is that
- 7:39Speaker 5: he's signed. And look, when you're producing at the level
- 7:42Speaker 5: that he is, I mean, he's probably right. It's like, damn,
- 7:46Speaker 5: sign this at the wrong time when you look at
- 7:48Speaker 5: what production he's putting up.
- 7:50Speaker 2: I love they can give each other out. You lost
- 7:54Speaker 2: a ton of money, but.
- 7:56Speaker 5: But think about it, like, he's got fifteen goals this year.
- 8:02Speaker 5: It's more than double what he's had in any other season.
- 8:05Speaker 5: There's twenty what twenty some games left to go? I mean, yeah,
- 8:09Speaker 5: he should be And that.
- 8:10Speaker 2: Goal he had yesterday was a sharp shooter type, yes,
- 8:13Speaker 2: and he's had a few of those lately.
- 8:15Speaker 5: Well, hell man, the goal that he scored like the
- 8:18Speaker 5: week and a half ago, weaving in between four different dudes.
- 8:23Speaker 5: I mean, goodness, gracious, here's Bednar after the game.
- 8:26Speaker 7: You know, we have a great record, no question, and
- 8:29Speaker 7: guys aren't satisfied, right. We had a bigger picture in mind,
- 8:32Speaker 7: and we're prepping for the long haul here and what's
- 8:36Speaker 7: to come in playoffs, which is going to be difficult opponents,
- 8:38Speaker 7: especially in our division. So we're still fine tuning and
- 8:42Speaker 7: working on our game, and the guys are still focused
- 8:44Speaker 7: on getting righter as the year goes on.
- 8:47Speaker 2: That is so true.
- 8:49Speaker 5: Like they they have that great combination right now from
- 8:52Speaker 5: the looks of it, Vic of the team that's probably
- 8:55Speaker 5: the most talented mess team in the league.
- 8:56Speaker 2: That's also looking hungry still.
- 9:00Speaker 5: You know, they still look like they're out there to
- 9:02Speaker 5: compete every single night and not rest on their laurels
- 9:04Speaker 5: or anything like that.
- 9:05Speaker 2: And they just dropped the hammer last night from the
- 9:07Speaker 2: get go. Yeah, they took control early. Uh Anaheim comes
- 9:11Speaker 2: back to cut it. What was it two to one?
- 9:14Speaker 2: Did they cut it to two, one to three to one?
- 9:16Speaker 2: Two to one? Yeah, there was a power play that
- 9:18Speaker 2: was powerless. That was the only The only issue I
- 9:22Speaker 2: have with that game last night is that second power
- 9:24Speaker 2: play where they couldn't even get a shot off right
- 9:27Speaker 2: top unit, and then they score Anaheim immediately after the
- 9:30Speaker 2: power play. Yeah, and now you're thinking, oh great. See
- 9:33Speaker 2: sometimes when the power play doesn't work, it even hurts
- 9:37Speaker 2: more because they scored right away.
- 9:39Speaker 5: Can I mention something about that? Because they did score
- 9:41Speaker 5: a power play last night. They were one for three
- 9:42Speaker 5: the first one, so they are now help me out.
- 9:46Speaker 5: Now you're a tracker three or fourteen post Olympic break.
- 9:48Speaker 2: I believe that is correct.
- 9:50Speaker 8: Yes, And mister darts who does math on the fly,
- 9:52Speaker 8: what percentage is that twenty one ish?
- 9:56Speaker 2: That is correct? It is twenty one point four percent.
- 10:00Speaker 2: That if they get.
- 10:01Speaker 5: Twenty one percent, that's exactly what you're looking for from them.
- 10:04Speaker 5: And I mentioned this to Moser when you were outfit
- 10:09Speaker 5: and Moser screamed at me because I watched Martin Nachius
- 10:13Speaker 5: in the Olympics sit at the spot that McKinnon sits
- 10:16Speaker 5: at in the power play, and he scored goals in
- 10:19Speaker 5: the Olympics from that spot. And I go, do you
- 10:21Speaker 5: maybe consider just to switch something up, have Nate be
- 10:24Speaker 5: kind of the rovery guy and have him sit there.
- 10:26Speaker 5: How do you score last night right from that dot
- 10:29Speaker 5: that McKinnon sits at.
- 10:30Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't Okay, I don't know enough about it
- 10:34Speaker 2: to tell you what to do, and I can't tell
- 10:35Speaker 2: you what to do. I can tell you this. After that,
- 10:38Speaker 2: Anaheim scores to cut it to two to one, and
- 10:40Speaker 2: now you're like, oh boy, here we go. They're in one.
- 10:43Speaker 2: That Parker Kelly gold was huge, yes, and then they
- 10:46Speaker 2: just dominated the third.
- 10:47Speaker 5: It just kind of reset and was like, yeah, we're fine,
- 10:50Speaker 5: We're totally fine.
- 10:51Speaker 2: But hey man, these next forty eight hours for the
- 10:55Speaker 2: Avs with the trade deadline approaching, it's always fun. You know,
- 10:59Speaker 2: you're clearly a contender. You see what other teams are
- 11:02Speaker 2: going to do. You have plenty of cap space to
- 11:04Speaker 2: make a move. I can't wait. It's a fun time
- 11:07Speaker 2: of year to be an as fan. I want to
- 11:08Speaker 2: talk more about that in a second.
- 11:10Speaker 5: Well, let's do it at like seven forty five, and
- 11:12Speaker 5: we'll ask the coach about it, because he'll join us
- 11:14Speaker 5: at nine o'clock today.
- 11:15Speaker 2: Hell, maybe we'll get news before that even happens at ninety.
- 11:21Speaker 5: Because I can't open Twitter right now, and maybe I've
- 11:23Speaker 5: stuck myself in some sort of algorithm where I can't
- 11:25Speaker 5: escape it.
- 11:26Speaker 2: You ever been there before? Well they haven't.
- 11:29Speaker 5: They're like, hey, I noticed you said on this video
- 11:31Speaker 5: of watching this frog jump on a lily pad.
- 11:33Speaker 2: Here's more frogs. And you're like, I don't. It was
- 11:36Speaker 2: an accident. I just I turned my head away. I
- 11:38Speaker 2: can't get off golf swings. That happens. But all I'm
- 11:42Speaker 2: saying now, Vic is.
- 11:46Speaker 5: The Aves and the Flames are in deep discussions about
- 11:49Speaker 5: NOZM Cadri coming back to Colorado. I'm like, Okay, there's
- 11:53Speaker 5: a lot of smoke here. I don't know if there's
- 11:56Speaker 5: fire or not, but there's certainly like extensive conversations taking
- 12:01Speaker 5: place between the two.
- 12:02Speaker 2: Oh, there should be, and they'd be dumb not to
- 12:05Speaker 2: even talk that. They're talking clearly. Yeah, but I wouldn't
- 12:09Speaker 2: consider NAS. You're would you consider Nas your ride or
- 12:13Speaker 2: die option? There's other options for the Avs. No, they
- 12:17Speaker 2: have to be him if you did get him, though't
- 12:20Speaker 2: have to be nos Cadre. If you did get.
- 12:22Speaker 5: Him, imagine that guy being your third line center. That's
- 12:27Speaker 5: the guy that you're throwing out on the third line.
- 12:30Speaker 5: You'd be you would smoke another team's third line, smoke
- 12:33Speaker 5: them you'd be healthy up the middle.
- 12:36Speaker 2: Can you explain to me then, why the Dallas Stars
- 12:38Speaker 2: are winning ten in a row and they're missing Miko?
- 12:42Speaker 5: Just they're good, They're a good team and deep, Yeah,
- 12:47Speaker 5: and deep. I mean the Avs are the best team
- 12:50Speaker 5: in hockey. Dallas is second. It's really I don't know
- 12:53Speaker 5: if there's another discussion. I know the East has got
- 12:55Speaker 5: some teams that are good too, but certainly in the West,
- 12:58Speaker 5: like there is a clear top two that are very
- 13:00Speaker 5: very similar to each other. But still when you look
- 13:07Speaker 5: at what the Avs have put together on top of it,
- 13:11Speaker 5: and this is important, We've discussed this already numerous times
- 13:14Speaker 5: this year. They have the best goaltending tandem in the
- 13:18Speaker 5: league too. I mean, last night, it doesn't matter if
- 13:21Speaker 5: you play Wedgewood or Blackwood. Do you think the afare
- 13:23Speaker 5: gonna win with that guy?
- 13:24Speaker 2: Yeah? I do. And I thought Wedgewood got hurt last night.
- 13:27Speaker 5: That was scary for Yeah, Well, you get out shot
- 13:30Speaker 5: last night and it doesn't matter. He makes twenty seven
- 13:32Speaker 5: saves and twenty eight shots and you put up five
- 13:34Speaker 5: goals on twenty six, like you just you have a
- 13:37Speaker 5: little bit of everything, actually a lot of bit of everything.
- 13:40Speaker 2: You got a good you know you have a good
- 13:42Speaker 2: goal goalie tandem when you don't know which wood is
- 13:45Speaker 2: out there, and it doesn't matter.
- 13:47Speaker 5: Like if I told you, guys, if I asked you
- 13:50Speaker 5: who's better between the two, my answerould be like, I
- 13:53Speaker 5: think they're like the same, Like they're both good. I
- 13:56Speaker 5: don't care who's playing if I mean, Vic, did you
- 14:00Speaker 5: even feel the impact? Think about this for a second.
- 14:03Speaker 5: There's been numerous points this year in which Blackwood has
- 14:06Speaker 5: not been healthy and you've had to play Wedgewood, And
- 14:08Speaker 5: then there's been times where Wedgewood has not been healthy,
- 14:10Speaker 5: you've had to play Blackwood and you haven't noticed a
- 14:13Speaker 5: single difference when either or out How many teams can
- 14:16Speaker 5: say that if their starting goalie goes down they didn't
- 14:19Speaker 5: feel an impact.
- 14:19Speaker 2: All wood is Goodwood doesn't matter which wood, Wedgewood or Blackwood.
- 14:25Speaker 2: How much woodwood would would a wood Chuck Wood? Name
- 14:29Speaker 2: my wood nice?
- 14:32Speaker 5: You know Vic's always comping hawks. Uh So, a good
- 14:38Speaker 5: win for the Abs last night. We'll talk more about
- 14:41Speaker 5: that with Jared Bednart nine o'clock, along with some trade
- 14:44Speaker 5: deadline stuff that is a little over forty eight hours away.
- 14:47Speaker 5: Three oh three five oh four oh nine two five
- 14:49Speaker 5: Tomorrow is a Nuggets ticket Thursday, and that means you
- 14:51Speaker 5: have a chance to win Nuggets tickets. So tune in
- 14:53Speaker 5: all day for the keywords on the twenties back after this.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I'm always comping Hawks. I want to go on the record,
- 14:59Speaker 2: and I've already told you and I've already apologized on
- 15:03Speaker 2: the group chat. I felt bad for yelling at Moser yesterday.
- 15:07Speaker 2: I really did. I felt bad, and I sent him
- 15:10Speaker 2: a text heartfelt, which he did not respond to. Said
- 15:14Speaker 2: I'm I'm sorry for yelling at you mid show. It's
- 15:18Speaker 2: not my place, it's not who I am. I'm a nice,
- 15:22Speaker 2: genteel fellow. And I yelled at him and it was
- 15:25Speaker 2: awkward silence for like three seconds. So I want to
- 15:28Speaker 2: apologize again publicly. I did so privately, but now I'm
- 15:32Speaker 2: going to do publicly.
- 15:35Speaker 4: Yeah what.
- 15:38Speaker 2: And to go back? He didn't respond either. In fact, the.
- 15:43Speaker 5: Next thing that came up is Nelly said, Hey, did
- 15:46Speaker 5: you see Kyler Murray is going to get released?
- 15:48Speaker 4: You know what?
- 15:49Speaker 2: I take it back since he didn't respond. He deserved it.
- 15:54Speaker 5: But you attract your you retract your apologies based on
- 15:58Speaker 5: site no.
- 15:59Speaker 4: Response as there's a drive in a deep left field
- 16:02Speaker 4: by Costiganos, it will be a home run.
- 16:04Speaker 2: Like I was expecting a retort like, yeah, you know,
- 16:07Speaker 2: I probably shouldn't have done that, or you know, I'll
- 16:09Speaker 2: be bad nothing, But now you were expecting.
- 16:12Speaker 5: Him to also take responsibility for what he did yesterday.
- 16:15Speaker 2: Ipologized everybody. Yes, the show yesterday was terrible. It was
- 16:19Speaker 2: it was bad. I was a bad show. I'm not joking.
- 16:22Speaker 2: Yesterday's show was probably bottom five show we've ever done.
- 16:25Speaker 2: I would agree with you, it was terrible. I'm not
- 16:28Speaker 2: being facetious here. This is not me being radio. I
- 16:31Speaker 2: totally agree. That was one of the worst shows I've
- 16:33Speaker 2: ever been a part of.
- 16:34Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever looked at Nelly since he's
- 16:36Speaker 5: been here and been like, dude, this is terrible today.
- 16:38Speaker 5: And I said that to him during a break and
- 16:40Speaker 5: I didn't know what to do. I couldn't get out
- 16:42Speaker 5: of it. You couldn't get out of it.
- 16:44Speaker 4: Most I don't know if I would be putting on
- 16:48Speaker 4: this headset again.
- 16:50Speaker 2: I retract my apology. That was quick. Well, I've come
- 16:55Speaker 2: to terms. Who was at fault here?
- 16:57Speaker 5: Hey, So the franchise tag came and went yesterday, four
- 17:01Speaker 5: guys got some sort of tags. One of them was
- 17:05Speaker 5: George Pickens from Dallas, which to me, good. I don't
- 17:09Speaker 5: want that guy anywhere near here, and that takes away
- 17:11Speaker 5: that possibility for the most part.
- 17:12Speaker 2: Good though, don't care. I know, head case.
- 17:16Speaker 5: I watched the guy in a contract year actively give
- 17:19Speaker 5: up in games, and I'm like, if you're doing that
- 17:20Speaker 5: when you're trying to make money, what happens when you
- 17:22Speaker 5: make money?
- 17:23Speaker 2: You know? It's funny guys like that. They don't just
- 17:26Speaker 2: like change their tune when they go to another team. No,
- 17:29Speaker 2: Like it's it's the same personality, just on a different team.
- 17:33Speaker 2: It's only a matter of time. There's a time bomb there.
- 17:35Speaker 2: It's gonna go off, like even.
- 17:38Speaker 5: For like what the Patriots did, and the Patriots would
- 17:42Speaker 5: bring in people that maybe were a little bit of
- 17:44Speaker 5: quote problem children. They never changed those guys. They tolerated them,
- 17:50Speaker 5: They tolerated it better. Yes, Kyle Pitts was another one
- 17:54Speaker 5: in Atlanta. And then of course Breece Hall we talked
- 17:56Speaker 5: about yesterday, which was you know, another guy in a
- 17:59Speaker 5: lot of broncos f wishless.
- 18:01Speaker 2: This Daniel Jones one the transition tag. I don't know
- 18:04Speaker 2: why there's different tags here. So basically, here's what I gather.
- 18:07Speaker 5: It means he's going to make like thirty eight million
- 18:11Speaker 5: this year, but if some team offers more money than
- 18:15Speaker 5: that to him, the Colts can match. It is all
- 18:18Speaker 5: that means. So I guess that's what the transition tag is.
- 18:22Speaker 5: I've never seen that use before.
- 18:24Speaker 2: I haven't heard of one of those in a while,
- 18:26Speaker 2: to be honest. Yeah, so I heard you in the
- 18:30Speaker 2: preview show, the practice show that you do the appetizer, Yeah,
- 18:34Speaker 2: the practice show, and you were talking about who the
- 18:38Speaker 2: Broncos might go after in free agency. And by the way,
- 18:40Speaker 2: is it me or is this free agent class just
- 18:42Speaker 2: sort of hh, it's not stellar. No, it's just yeah,
- 18:47Speaker 2: there's nothing there.
- 18:49Speaker 5: The big names are things that you don't really need,
- 18:53Speaker 5: Like the big ones here, Trey Hendrickson obviously, but you
- 18:56Speaker 5: have passed.
- 18:57Speaker 2: Don't need one of those.
- 18:58Speaker 5: Tyler Linderbaum, the center out of the Ravens, is a
- 19:00Speaker 5: very very good player, but you don't need a center.
- 19:03Speaker 5: So those are the big ones that you won't be
- 19:06Speaker 5: involved in. Now, the other names that I think are
- 19:08Speaker 5: interesting for the Broncos. These three guys will be available
- 19:12Speaker 5: two running max On wide receiver, Kenneth Walker who did
- 19:16Speaker 5: not get tagged yesterday, Travis etn Out of Jacksonville, and
- 19:21Speaker 5: Alec Pierce, the Colts wide receiver.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Yeah, I heard you talk about Alec Pierce and how
- 19:26Speaker 2: nice that would be. Now, remember the Broncos have about
- 19:28Speaker 2: twenty five and a half million dollars in cap space,
- 19:31Speaker 2: right they at twenty five and a half Alec Pearce
- 19:35Speaker 2: might eat most of that. If you go after a
- 19:38Speaker 2: guy like that. Sure, I would rather spend my money.
- 19:41Speaker 2: If you're going to spend your money on an offensive weapon,
- 19:45Speaker 2: spend it on a running back. Why he's spending it
- 19:47Speaker 2: on a receiver. I'd be good either way. Yeah, running
- 19:51Speaker 2: back to five. It's not even a question for me.
- 19:53Speaker 2: Why would you spend that kind of money on a receiver?
- 19:56Speaker 2: And I get it. The guy's explosive, he had more yards.
- 20:00Speaker 2: What do you have forty seven catches for one thousand
- 20:02Speaker 2: plus twenty two yards a catch? A big play guy,
- 20:05Speaker 2: big play receiver. But if I'm going to throw that
- 20:07Speaker 2: kind of money out there, hell, a running back number
- 20:09Speaker 2: one will be cheaper. You'll have more money left over
- 20:12Speaker 2: to spend, yep, spend it on a running back? What
- 20:15Speaker 2: are we doing here?
- 20:17Speaker 5: It depends on do you think that Kenneth Walker Super
- 20:20Speaker 5: Bowl MVP doesn't have to be that?
- 20:22Speaker 2: It doesn't have to be here. Do you think Travis
- 20:24Speaker 2: Etn is that.
- 20:27Speaker 5: Like guys that I would have thought about, Like I, I.
- 20:30Speaker 2: Would have done that.
- 20:31Speaker 5: I mean not that much money, but I would have
- 20:33Speaker 5: given David Montgomery some cash. I would have given brycee.
- 20:37Speaker 5: Hawsome cash. I don't know how to feel about the
- 20:39Speaker 5: other ones. Like Kenneth Walker's pretty good, He's a pretty
- 20:42Speaker 5: good player.
- 20:42Speaker 2: How much do you think Alec Pearce would warrant here?
- 20:46Speaker 2: He is your top receiver in this free agent class?
- 20:48Speaker 5: I don't know. In the reason why I'm hesitant on
- 20:53Speaker 5: naming a number, he didn't have ninety catches for eleven
- 20:57Speaker 5: hundred yards. He had forty seven. That's not like I'm
- 21:01Speaker 5: getting the ball to this guy eight times a game
- 21:04Speaker 5: type of play catches. But they're loud, yes, So I
- 21:07Speaker 5: don't know how to evaluate that in money terms, because
- 21:11Speaker 5: usually you look at you got a guy makes eighty
- 21:13Speaker 5: catches a year for a thousand yards.
- 21:15Speaker 2: It's a big time. Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm not giving
- 21:17Speaker 2: you the bulk of my free agent money on one receiver.
- 21:20Speaker 2: I'm just not doing it.
- 21:21Speaker 5: If he's if he's sitting up there at twenty eight
- 21:22Speaker 5: million dollars a year, I agree with not doing it's
- 21:24Speaker 5: too much, But I'm just looking for guys that are
- 21:28Speaker 5: going to be impactful, that's all. And one thing that
- 21:31Speaker 5: you've been missing, and Vic, we're just talking about this yesterday.
- 21:34Speaker 5: The thing that Alec Pierce fits is the two categories
- 21:37Speaker 5: that I think are necessary for this team. And number
- 21:39Speaker 5: one is an explosive playmaker, which he certainly is no
- 21:43Speaker 5: doubt about it. Number two, he's six'. Three he fits
- 21:47Speaker 5: the tall bill That Sean payton wants to have in the.
- 21:50Speaker 2: Offense and he's.
- 21:51Speaker 5: Fast he is so fast insert sneaky speed white wide
- 21:56Speaker 5: receiver comment. Here he's got all those different. Things you
- 22:01Speaker 5: don't have people on this offense outside Of Marvin mims
- 22:04Speaker 5: that are just raw speed.
- 22:05Speaker 2: Guys, okay so i'll make a camp, here, everybody pencil and,
- 22:10Speaker 2: paper even if you're, driving pull. Over you have your
- 22:13Speaker 2: choice for The broncos. Offense you can go running back
- 22:18Speaker 2: and we'll throw a name. Out i'm just gonna give
- 22:19Speaker 2: you a. Name it's not necessarily this Guy i'll give
- 22:21Speaker 2: You Kenneth, walker And i'll give You Kenneth walker at
- 22:24Speaker 2: let's say fourteen million a, year, okay because that's what
- 22:27Speaker 2: he's gonna, make fourteen to. Fifteen they.
- 22:29Speaker 5: Said the starting point for his negotiations is the franchise,
- 22:32Speaker 5: tag which is Fourteen.
- 22:33Speaker 2: Okay you're gonna Take Kenneth walker fourteen to fifteen million
- 22:37Speaker 2: a year or spand eighteen to twenty minimum on your,
- 22:43Speaker 2: Boy Alec. PEARCE i think that'd be a. DEAL i
- 22:47Speaker 2: think that's WHAT i. Think it's a. Minimum that's. Minimum, yeah.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Dude the running back touches it fifteen times a. Game
- 22:55Speaker 2: your guy touches it twice three times a. Game it's
- 22:58Speaker 2: not even a question for. Me it's not that this
- 23:01Speaker 2: is the easiest decision you could. Make spend that money
- 23:04Speaker 2: on a running. Back, well let me let me tell
- 23:06Speaker 2: you here would be my argument against. It it's not
- 23:09Speaker 2: even THAT i disagree with. You let's say you get
- 23:11Speaker 2: peers for.
- 23:12Speaker 5: Twenty it's the same to me as IF i make
- 23:17Speaker 5: an Old Michael Porter junior sort of. Comment it's not
- 23:21Speaker 5: so much the raw numbers that he gives, you it's
- 23:24Speaker 5: what he opens up for. Others Michael Porter junior's impact
- 23:27Speaker 5: wasn't felt with how many threes he hit per. Game
- 23:29Speaker 5: it was the threat of him opening space for other.
- 23:32Speaker 2: People you can use that argument too for running. Back
- 23:34Speaker 2: you can if you Get Kenneth walker and you can
- 23:36Speaker 2: run the ball With Kenneth, walker you could still KEEP. Jk.
- 23:40Speaker 2: Dobbins you still can't TO. Rj, Harvey that's What i'm.
- 23:42Speaker 5: Saying are you Paying Kenneth walker for his skill or
- 23:46Speaker 5: for his?
- 23:48Speaker 2: Availability you're Paying Kenneth walker for play, action is what
- 23:51Speaker 2: you're paying them, for so that your receivers that you
- 23:54Speaker 2: currently have will have more space to get.
- 23:56Speaker 5: Open but hang, on What i'm asking, is do you
- 23:58Speaker 5: think he's that much better THAN. Jk dobbins just talent,
- 24:03Speaker 5: wise because are we talking about availability or skill? BOTH
- 24:06Speaker 5: i think skill wise they're pretty. CLOSE i, agree then
- 24:09Speaker 5: that's that's the only.
- 24:10Speaker 2: Reason, like but one's. Available, yes he, deals he gets
- 24:15Speaker 2: dinged up.
- 24:15Speaker 5: Quite a, bit but he did PLAY i think in
- 24:17Speaker 5: all seventeen games this last. Year he's healthier obviously THAN.
- 24:20Speaker 5: Jk dobbins. Is But i'm looking for somebody that can
- 24:24Speaker 5: change your offense if you're if you're looking For Kenneth.
- 24:26Speaker 5: Walker it feels like the offense would be largely the.
- 24:29Speaker 5: Same he would just play.
- 24:30Speaker 2: More the projected deal For Kenneth walker is somewhere in
- 24:33Speaker 2: the neighborhood of four, years thirty six million. Plus. Yeah
- 24:38Speaker 2: PLUS i can live with that even if, it let's
- 24:41Speaker 2: say it doesn't work. OUT i can live with. That
- 24:43Speaker 2: overspending four to five years twenty twenty five million For Alec. Pierce,
- 24:49Speaker 2: yeah if it gets into that.
- 24:50Speaker 5: Territory though With Alec, PEERCE i wouldn't do.
- 24:52Speaker 2: IT i wouldn't do. It it has to be the right.
- 24:54Speaker 5: Deal BUT i just want somebody that's going to open
- 24:57Speaker 5: up a different portal within this offense that.
- 25:00Speaker 2: Doesn't Get but they're not that receiver, starved you. Know
- 25:03Speaker 2: that's that's for a team that's.
- 25:05Speaker 5: STARVED i think they. ARE i think they. Are they
- 25:08Speaker 5: were second in the league in drops that can't. Happen
- 25:12Speaker 5: you want to help out your, quarterback hang on the damn.
- 25:13Speaker 5: Football that's number. One number, two they're one of the
- 25:16Speaker 5: worst in the league in explosive plays like those two
- 25:19Speaker 5: combinations means you need a wide out on this.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Team you need one.
- 25:23Speaker 5: And maybe you Know lakewelt's talked about This Courtland sutton
- 25:27Speaker 5: gets too much grief because he's the only, threat and
- 25:30Speaker 5: they game plan their entire defensive passing stuff to stop.
- 25:35Speaker 5: Him then you need to get somebody. Else somebody else
- 25:39Speaker 5: has to be that. Threat and AGAIN i would Say
- 25:42Speaker 5: Marvin mims could probably do, it but they don't play,
- 25:44Speaker 5: Him SO i don't know what to. Do i've never
- 25:46Speaker 5: had a player quite like. That by the, way can
- 25:49Speaker 5: you name somebody that you think was a really Good
- 25:52Speaker 5: i'm talking any. Sport you felt like it was a
- 25:54Speaker 5: really good player who just never played? Underutilized, Yeah, like
- 25:59Speaker 5: who's another example of?
- 26:00Speaker 2: That an underutilized really good.
- 26:02Speaker 5: Player guy plays in the, game he makes a huge,
- 26:05Speaker 5: impact makes, plays but he doesn't play that.
- 26:07Speaker 2: Much you can make the claim for a lot of
- 26:10Speaker 2: players on The, Nuggets, LIKE i, mean a lot of
- 26:14Speaker 2: people want to See Deron holmes. Play why is any?
- 26:16Speaker 2: Playing sometimes he makes, plays sometimes.
- 26:19Speaker 5: He's, lost he tried to, play and he just didn't
- 26:22Speaker 5: really do much when he was out. There i'm just
- 26:24Speaker 5: saying you can make the argument for a lot of
- 26:26Speaker 5: players like. That that's more of a backup quarterback. ARGUMENT
- 26:28Speaker 5: i haven't seen it. YET i just think it's going
- 26:30Speaker 5: to be Better mims actually produces when he.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Plays it's just. Weird it's Very you make it sound
- 26:36Speaker 2: like he never touches the. Field he's on the, field
- 26:38Speaker 2: he just doesn't see the. BALL a. Lot he played
- 26:41Speaker 2: like sixteen snatch the, game that's not a. Lot the.
- 26:44Speaker 2: Playoffs is his output in the playoffs? Doubled?
- 26:48Speaker 5: Well, yeah when two other guys in your room go
- 26:50Speaker 5: down with injuries and can't, PLAY i mean.
- 26:52Speaker 2: Somebody's got to step. UP i JUST i don't.
- 26:53Speaker 5: Know and a tea, says, this is there a free
- 26:57Speaker 5: agent tight end that's worth going after.
- 27:01Speaker 2: In jok who's? Available?
- 27:03Speaker 5: Now do you still feel like In joku's the same
- 27:06Speaker 5: impact as he was maybe three years?
- 27:07Speaker 2: AGO i don't. KNOW i was looking at his numbers.
- 27:09Speaker 2: Too it's not like he's a big, machine a production.
- 27:12Speaker 2: Machine he's he cut fewer passes Than Evan.
- 27:15Speaker 5: Ingram that if you do use one of your, arguments AND.
- 27:19Speaker 2: I know they had quarterbacks two straight, years like nine
- 27:23Speaker 2: different quarterbacks going through. There you know you're in love
- 27:26Speaker 2: with Him, Juco and how do you pronounce you're in
- 27:29Speaker 2: love with? Him because his body he's, huge he's, massive
- 27:33Speaker 2: he's a. Monster, yeah he's A ballerina with that body.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Too yes he. Is So i'm looking at all the
- 27:40Speaker 2: free agent tight. ENDS i went through that. List by the,
- 27:42Speaker 2: WAY i was shocked at how few impact players are
- 27:46Speaker 2: in this free agent. CLASS i really.
- 27:48Speaker 5: Was there's one guy That i'll throw the name out
- 27:51Speaker 5: there THAT i think would, help THAT i think has
- 27:55Speaker 5: untapped potential that we haven't seen because he's been buried
- 27:58Speaker 5: behind a really good quarterback Or i'm sorry tight. End
- 28:02Speaker 5: Isaiah likely out Of baltimore has been the backup To
- 28:04Speaker 5: Mark andrews and he's gotten a few catches a, year
- 28:07Speaker 5: but he doesn't play very often Because Mark andrews is always.
- 28:09Speaker 5: IN i think that guy's got, ability and if you
- 28:12Speaker 5: put him in the number one spot for, SOMEBODY i
- 28:13Speaker 5: think he can be really.
- 28:14Speaker 2: Impacted what About, Goddard, Yeah goddard'd be.
- 28:17Speaker 5: Great this is all, like, see this is the same
- 28:20Speaker 5: thing AS. Jk, dobbins, though it's, like do you think
- 28:24Speaker 5: a guy Like goddard is better than what you currently
- 28:28Speaker 5: have In? Ingram and the issue That i'm having in
- 28:33Speaker 5: free agency with a lot of these names that we're
- 28:34Speaker 5: throwing out, THERE i can't guarantee that those guys are
- 28:38Speaker 5: better than the guy you currently have.
- 28:39Speaker 2: Already it depends how you use. Them, Yeah goddard made
- 28:43Speaker 2: some huge.
- 28:44Speaker 5: Catches yes he Did Super. Bowl, yes he did some.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Big catches last. Year if you don't use that, position
- 28:51Speaker 2: you're only as good as what you. Use is that
- 28:53Speaker 2: what you feel?
- 28:54Speaker 5: Like the problem, was, LIKE i don't, know do you
- 28:56Speaker 5: think it was that they they didn't Feature Evan ingram
- 28:59Speaker 5: enough of a?
- 29:00Speaker 2: Question and Maybe davis web calling the plays changes that
- 29:03Speaker 2: a little. Bit, YEAH i mean how many when you
- 29:06Speaker 2: look back at the season and the guy, caught which is,
- 29:09Speaker 2: interesting he caught fifty plus? Catches? Right was it? Fifty
- 29:12Speaker 2: he had?
- 29:13Speaker 5: Fifty it was a little over. Fifty, yeah you're talking
- 29:15Speaker 5: About Ingram?
- 29:15Speaker 2: Ingram, Yeah like what what game do you? Remember that's
- 29:19Speaker 2: my whole. Thing it's like numbers. Wise is there a
- 29:22Speaker 2: game that you? Remember, no The washington, game, dude he
- 29:27Speaker 2: was big in that. Game i'm telling you right.
- 29:29Speaker 5: Now the PLAY i remember from this past season From Evan,
- 29:34Speaker 5: INGRAM i swear to God vic the number one thing
- 29:36Speaker 5: that sticks out it was the catch and running made
- 29:38Speaker 5: in the.
- 29:39Speaker 2: Preseason, yes the one Where stitty's running to his, right
- 29:43Speaker 2: finds him on the right sideline and he turned another
- 29:46Speaker 2: thirty forty yards. Too me. TOO i. CAN'T i can't
- 29:49Speaker 2: even think of another play THAT i. MADE i don't
- 29:51Speaker 2: disagree and that that ain't.
- 29:53Speaker 5: Good, No but but you look at the raw, numbers it's, like, oh,
- 29:57Speaker 5: yeah fifty catch, season what do you? Have six seven
- 29:59Speaker 5: hundred Yard it looks pretty. Good AND i don't remember
- 30:01Speaker 5: any of, it none of.
- 30:02Speaker 2: It trying to find a god damn.
- 30:04Speaker 5: Joker he's one of those guys in basketball where the
- 30:06Speaker 5: game ends and you're, like what do you? Mean he
- 30:08Speaker 5: had twenty three. POINTS i don't even remember that guy.
- 30:10Speaker 5: Playing but they they have room to. Spend it's is
- 30:18Speaker 5: anybody worthy of the? Spending and sometimes vic you can
- 30:22Speaker 5: hang on to a little bit of that cash and
- 30:24Speaker 5: save it for the next year and see if that
- 30:26Speaker 5: free agent class is going to be. Better but there's
- 30:28Speaker 5: just part of me that if they enter, this if
- 30:32Speaker 5: they enter training camp without making some like big sort
- 30:36Speaker 5: of splash, MOVE i THINK i will be.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Disappointed any. Touchdowns check out his stats real. Quick how
- 30:40Speaker 2: many touchdowns did Having ingram finished with last? Year it means,
- 30:44Speaker 2: numbers you, know touchdowns are hard to come by sometimes,
- 30:46Speaker 2: Too it's got to be the right place right. Time
- 30:48Speaker 2: think a guess two one One isaiah likely had twenty
- 30:53Speaker 2: seven catches one.
- 30:54Speaker 5: TOUCHDOWN i Mean ingram had fifty catches for only four
- 30:58Speaker 5: hundred and sixty one yards.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Touchdown, like that's not.
- 31:03Speaker 5: That's not, impact that's not what you paid him, for
- 31:06Speaker 5: and that's not what you need out of that. Position,
- 31:08Speaker 5: now there's a there's a large argument to be made
- 31:11Speaker 5: that the teams are typically finishing in the championship game
- 31:17Speaker 5: level of the, season almost all of them have impactful tight,
- 31:21Speaker 5: ends and that.
- 31:21Speaker 2: Matter the MORE i look at, this this is one
- 31:24Speaker 2: of the WORST nfl free agent classes in terms of
- 31:29Speaker 2: just like explosive, players game franchise changing. Players some of
- 31:33Speaker 2: the worst CLASSES i can. Remember it really. Is It's
- 31:41Speaker 2: i'm trying to, think like you tell, me, like oh my,
- 31:45Speaker 2: god it's gonna change. Everything who on this list is
- 31:48Speaker 2: gonna change? Everything ain't.
- 31:51Speaker 5: NOBODY i have no idea because even the guys that
- 31:55Speaker 5: you think are good still have question. Marks Like Tyreek
- 31:59Speaker 5: hill would be a big name that's a free, agent
- 32:00Speaker 5: but you have no idea what that looks.
- 32:02Speaker 2: Like, injury no.
- 32:03Speaker 5: Idea, yeah it's tough and to be in this, spot
- 32:07Speaker 5: the spot that The broncos are where it's, like, hey
- 32:09Speaker 5: now's the time to Spend who do we spend it?
- 32:12Speaker 2: On difficult place to. BE i, mean one of the
- 32:14Speaker 2: biggest impact free agents in this class is eighty two
- 32:18Speaker 2: year Old Mike. Evans.
- 32:19Speaker 5: Yeah SO espn has an article they're trying to project
- 32:24Speaker 5: where each guy in free agency is going to. Go
- 32:26Speaker 5: who they have for The broncos is Kyde atten the
- 32:30Speaker 5: tight end out Of. Tampa and they, said because The
- 32:33Speaker 5: broncos already have a receiving first tight end In ingram
- 32:36Speaker 5: and they need a number. One they need a number
- 32:38Speaker 5: one tight end who is also a strong run. Blocker
- 32:40Speaker 5: That's Kate, oughten useful as a receiver and two receiving
- 32:45Speaker 5: yards five touchdowns over the past two.
- 32:47Speaker 2: Years, Whatever i'm gonna say this in most respectful way.
- 32:51Speaker 2: Possible who he's all right tight end out Of.
- 32:56Speaker 5: TAMPA i, mean one thing is true, Though evaning cannot,
- 33:00Speaker 5: block and maybe that's part of the. ISSUE i, Mean
- 33:03Speaker 5: Sean payton likes his guys to be versatile in the
- 33:06Speaker 5: running in pass. Game but still a lot more to
- 33:08Speaker 5: get to in a little. Bit Jared bednart nine o'clock this,

- 33:29Speaker 5: they played, yesterday which was, great but the trade deadline
- 33:31Speaker 5: that's coming up in two days and what they can
- 33:34Speaker 5: do in the.
- 33:34Speaker 2: Meantime and the big Game friday. Night Two titans of the,
- 33:39Speaker 2: score Two titans of the West. Man that's a big.
- 33:41Speaker 2: Game it's a big game for a lot of. Reasons
- 33:43Speaker 2: it's just sort, of, hey you, know if if The avs,
- 33:47Speaker 2: win they send the message we ain't playing around. Anymore
- 33:52Speaker 2: If dallas, wins they're, like you might have the lead
- 33:56Speaker 2: and all, this but where your. Daddy yeah that's what's at, stake,
- 34:01Speaker 2: frankly and you may not like to hear, that but
- 34:03Speaker 2: that's what's at stake in a game like. That what
- 34:05Speaker 2: they have to is it's this odd thing Of dallas
- 34:12Speaker 2: has your number in the.
- 34:13Speaker 5: POSTSEASON i, mean there's no other way to put. It
- 34:15Speaker 5: you've been, close you've been this close to breaking, through
- 34:19Speaker 5: but they've just gotten, You AND i think it does
- 34:22Speaker 5: do something if you get a win like, that to
- 34:25Speaker 5: put some farther in the rear view mirror and the
- 34:27Speaker 5: standings and a confidence boost moving forward from. There you,
- 34:32Speaker 5: know you got this situation right now Where lecinan's going
- 34:37Speaker 5: to be. Out it's now one of those week two week,
- 34:40Speaker 5: injuries not day to, day so he's gonna be missing
- 34:42Speaker 5: for a, while don't know how. Long so yet injuries
- 34:46Speaker 5: that you're dealing with. Again But dallas has the same.
- 34:48Speaker 5: THING i, mean they're Without miko and they've won ten
- 34:50Speaker 5: straight dating back to the Pre olympic. BREAK i took
- 34:54Speaker 5: a glance at THE nba standings this. Morning IS i
- 34:58Speaker 5: watched some of the games last. Night, Okay see wins.
- 35:01Speaker 5: Again San antonio wins, Again minnesota wins. Again The lakers
- 35:06Speaker 5: are only a half game behind The. Nuggets lakers And
- 35:09Speaker 5: nuggets tomorrow night At Ball. Arena nuggets lose that, game
- 35:12Speaker 5: they're suddenly in the sixth. Seed, Yeap holy moly'es this
- 35:16Speaker 5: hitting hard and. Fast, well they they try to play,
- 35:21Speaker 5: better you know WHAT i, Mean the only way to
- 35:24Speaker 5: work your way out of this is to play. Better
- 35:27Speaker 5: AND i know that you said you're expecting the.
- 35:31Speaker 2: Either P watt OR ag at some point this. Week
- 35:34Speaker 2: there's a report out there THAT ag is looking at
- 35:38Speaker 2: coming back for That knicks game On. Friday, now whether
- 35:43Speaker 2: or not they return this, week let's say they're both. Available,
- 35:46Speaker 2: yeah there's no way they're playing this back to. Backs
- 35:49Speaker 2: they're not playing both games of the back to, back,
- 35:51Speaker 2: right not? Happening in, fact do they split? Them in,
- 35:53Speaker 2: fact there are in this, stretch there are a pair
- 35:57Speaker 2: of back to. Backs, yeah that you're not going to
- 35:59Speaker 2: play these. GUYS i would split. THEM i would do
- 36:03Speaker 2: exactly what you just. Suggested one guy one, game a
- 36:06Speaker 2: g the other exactly be the easiest way to go about.
- 36:10Speaker 2: It according to this, REPORT ag is going to be,
- 36:13Speaker 2: available Hopefully friday night for The knicks, game which, means
- 36:18Speaker 2: for crossing our, Fingers Peyton watson would Play. Thursday but
- 36:23Speaker 2: all this does is it lingers right the Whole, well
- 36:28Speaker 2: they're not, Whole so you can't judge them if they're not, Whole,
- 36:31Speaker 2: like when when are we allowed to judge?
- 36:34Speaker 5: THEM i guess this?
- 36:40Speaker 2: WEEKEND i MEAN i, guess but there's no there's Not
- 36:44Speaker 2: they're not going to be. Whole they're not going to
- 36:46Speaker 2: have their entire.
- 36:46Speaker 5: ROSTER i think you need to accept one thing, that
- 36:52Speaker 5: regardless of who's in and, out there is a problem
- 36:55Speaker 5: at the end of games of being able to close things.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Out AND i don't know if that match league gets
- 37:00Speaker 5: better just because a couple of guys are infused into
- 37:02Speaker 5: the lineup WITH i, guess how do you judge them
- 37:07Speaker 5: or when is it? FAIR i think you can make
- 37:11Speaker 5: a lot of judgments right, now but maybe two three
- 37:16Speaker 5: weeks from now they get a few games under their
- 37:18Speaker 5: belt and then you see how The nuggets. Play but
- 37:20Speaker 5: by that, time you're going to be through this tough
- 37:23Speaker 5: stretch of the year and hopefully not too far into
- 37:25Speaker 5: a hole that you can't climb your way.
- 37:27Speaker 2: OUT i just cannot get over how tight it's. Gotten,
- 37:30Speaker 2: okay So Oklahoma city Leads San antonio by three, games
- 37:35Speaker 2: the one in two seeds with twenty games to, play are?
- 37:39Speaker 2: Gone would we agree they're? Gone, yeah they're in their own.
- 37:42Speaker 2: Strategy you're. Not you're not CATCHING u San antonio for
- 37:45Speaker 2: the two? Seeds she? Gone how About wemby last night
- 37:48Speaker 2: saying he thinks they're the best team in the. World
- 37:52Speaker 2: why wouldn't? He they keep? Winning so your your goal,
- 37:55Speaker 2: now if you can get it, together if you can
- 37:58Speaker 2: somehow find your way in this six to seven game. Stretch,
- 38:03Speaker 2: yeah BECAUSE i Forgot philadelphia's that seventh. Game that's not easy.
- 38:07Speaker 2: Either although did you see what San antonio did To
- 38:10Speaker 2: philly last night In? Philly blew them out of the. Water. Yeah,
- 38:13Speaker 2: Okay so you got a seven game stretch which is very,
- 38:18Speaker 2: challenging and you're now a half game out of the sixth.
- 38:21Speaker 2: Seed holy, moly is this a critical juncture in the. Season?
- 38:26Speaker 2: YEAH i mean, this after this seven game, stretch we're
- 38:31Speaker 2: gonna be sitting here saying one of two. Things all,
- 38:35Speaker 2: Right nuggets are for, Real nuggets are everything we thought they.
- 38:38Speaker 2: Were The nuggets are gonna contend for a title or
- 38:41Speaker 2: or we're gonna be saying what happened to the? Season
- 38:46Speaker 2: do you? Agree? Yeah and is there an in between
- 38:49Speaker 2: there on those on that commentary or is there AM i?
- 38:51Speaker 2: Off is there a well you know this this, happened
- 38:54Speaker 2: and that, happened and.
- 38:55Speaker 5: Here here would BE i guess the sort of in
- 38:58Speaker 5: between that you're talking. Between it's going to take even
- 39:02Speaker 5: if you Get Peyton watson And Aaron gordon back this
- 39:05Speaker 5: week it's gonna take a second for them to get
- 39:08Speaker 5: up to full. Speed by that, time you're gonna be
- 39:11Speaker 5: through this tough, stretch and if you start to play well,
- 39:14Speaker 5: afterwards there could be an in, Between like if they
- 39:16Speaker 5: get back to what they ate and two is a
- 39:19Speaker 5: full starting five at the beginning of the, season if
- 39:21Speaker 5: they go on that type of stretch towards the end
- 39:24Speaker 5: of the regular season, schedule.
- 39:26Speaker 2: Then maybe you'll find that in.
- 39:28Speaker 5: Between but even then it'll be hard to judge because
- 39:30Speaker 5: you weren't playing the same type of opponents as you
- 39:33Speaker 5: were during the.
- 39:34Speaker 2: Stretch i'm going to go To nuggets practice after the show.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Today they're having a practice today and they need, practices
- 39:40Speaker 2: And i'm going to Ask David adelman the question we brought.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Up teams are going to continue to Guard Nikola jokicic
- 39:47Speaker 2: the Way utah. Did not every, team not every. Team
- 39:50Speaker 2: some teams, Will, yeah, okay what's your? Counter he may
- 39:56Speaker 2: not exped, know like he's gonna tell us, right he
- 39:58Speaker 2: may have a, Plan but what do you do about?
- 40:01Speaker 2: That because you can't Expect jamal to score forty five
- 40:07Speaker 2: points every? Night, yeah what's your counter to What utah?
- 40:13Speaker 2: Did to What Oklahoma city did to what many, teams you,
- 40:16Speaker 2: know The. Lakers The lakers are the first team to
- 40:18Speaker 2: employ that. Tactic they did it last.
- 40:20Speaker 5: Year So i'm trying to think back when teams are doing,
- 40:24Speaker 5: this what does their lineup look like outside of the
- 40:27Speaker 5: small that's Guarding.
- 40:28Speaker 2: Yoki you still have your same line about, there but
- 40:31Speaker 2: you just don't, like if they play The lakers tomorrow,
- 40:34Speaker 2: night instead of Guarding joker With, aighton they would Put
- 40:38Speaker 2: Marcus smart On joker in front Of ayton would be
- 40:41Speaker 2: on who he'd, Roam he could roam, behind doesn't matter
- 40:45Speaker 2: who he's. On at that, point you're playing like you're The. Rover,
- 40:48Speaker 2: well it's got TO.
- 40:50Speaker 5: I guess my point is there's got to be somebody.
- 40:51Speaker 5: Open and are they just gonna dare Like Christian brown
- 40:55Speaker 5: to shoot a three or something like. That is that
- 40:57Speaker 5: what they're gonna.
- 40:57Speaker 2: Do that's what teams are. Doing, yeah they're they're playing
- 41:01Speaker 2: The rover system against The. NUGGETS i, think, look you
- 41:06Speaker 2: Give jokic enough looks at, this because it's still relatively.
- 41:10Speaker 5: New they've done it to him in the, past just not.
- 41:12Speaker 5: CONSISTENTLY i think he'll find a way to diagnose and beat.
- 41:15Speaker 5: It he's too good and he's too smart to not
- 41:18Speaker 5: have some sort of CounterPunch he's gonna throw out.
- 41:20Speaker 2: There now to how you do, THAT i don't. KNOW
- 41:23Speaker 2: i think part of it, is but the CounterPunch cannot Be, hey,
- 41:26Speaker 2: guys can everybody look At i'm getting fouled? Here because
- 41:29Speaker 2: exactly because they're not called. LISTEN i WISH i could
- 41:33Speaker 2: wave a wand and, say, hey call that FOUL. Nba
- 41:38Speaker 2: they're not going to call. It If i'm a smaller,
- 41:41Speaker 2: DUDE i am allowed to rub up on. You for
- 41:46Speaker 2: some reason they allow. It does he just get?
- 41:49Speaker 5: Deeper does he get deeper and you try and get
- 41:53Speaker 5: an entry pass in where he's after that little quick flip.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Rather than catching the ball at the elbow yet the
- 41:58Speaker 2: ball at the.
- 41:58Speaker 5: Block, yeah starting deeper in, there so it can just
- 42:01Speaker 5: be a quick catch turn float one up there before
- 42:05Speaker 5: a rover can even get to someplace to double you
- 42:07Speaker 5: know WHAT i. MEAN i think they'll figure that part
- 42:11Speaker 5: of it. Out yokich isn't gonna be held down by
- 42:13Speaker 5: somebody who's six foot five every single. Night he'll have
- 42:16Speaker 5: some sort of counter to. It, now for the rest
- 42:18Speaker 5: of the team is a different type of, discussion LIKE
- 42:21Speaker 5: i know That Cam johnson was out in the last, Game,
- 42:23Speaker 5: vick do you expect them mac?
- 42:26Speaker 2: TOMORROW i don't. KNOW i. DON'T i don't know how
- 42:30Speaker 2: bad the ankle. Is CAN i, ASK i. Don't i'll
- 42:33Speaker 2: find out of practice. Today i'll tell. You i'll go
- 42:35Speaker 2: to practice today and if he's, practicing that'll tell.
- 42:37Speaker 5: YOU i don't want this to sound like. DISRESPECTFUL i
- 42:41Speaker 5: don't mean it that. Way was any part Of Cam
- 42:45Speaker 5: johnson not playing the other day mental.
- 42:48Speaker 2: As much as it was? Physical you want my humble, Opinion,
- 42:51Speaker 2: yeah though most of it was, Mental LIKE i don't
- 42:54Speaker 2: take a day.
- 42:55Speaker 5: OFF i don't think it was his ankle was so
- 42:57Speaker 5: bad that he. Could, YEAH i think it's a lot of.
- 42:59Speaker 5: That take a day off and sometimes you need.
- 43:01Speaker 7: It.
- 43:01Speaker 2: Right let me ask you, this do you think mose
- 43:03Speaker 2: you're not working, today mental or? Physical, well golf take
- 43:09Speaker 2: a day? Off heated a mental day after Yesterday's, yep
- 43:15Speaker 2: the cophony that was this radio. Show take a day.
- 43:19Speaker 5: Off here's the, suggestion by the, way somebody, says play
- 43:24Speaker 5: big valve at the same time and let him set
- 43:27Speaker 5: the high pick to Keep yokic down. Low i'm trying
- 43:31Speaker 5: to think, back it felt like they were effective with
- 43:35Speaker 5: both of those guys in the lineup early when they
- 43:36Speaker 5: were trying to do.
- 43:37Speaker 2: That AM i? Wrong in the last game The nuggets played.
- 43:41Speaker 5: Against utah When Cam johnson was, out they Started valentnis
- 43:45Speaker 5: With jokic In valentnis when they were on the floor
- 43:48Speaker 5: at the same, time it felt like The nuggets were doing,
- 43:50Speaker 5: good and then they took him out and things kind
- 43:53Speaker 5: of fell.
- 43:53Speaker 2: Apart, well you can't leave him both in the entire.
- 43:55Speaker 2: GAME i, Mean chi has only played seventeen. Minutes you
- 43:58Speaker 2: have rotations of all the.
- 44:00Speaker 5: Guys if you're looking at plus, minus he was a plus.
- 44:02Speaker 5: Ten valentinus was in seventeen. Minutes nobody else was. Close
- 44:07Speaker 5: so maybe that's the. Counter you just play two bigs
- 44:09Speaker 5: on the floor and then try and do it that.
- 44:10Speaker 2: WAY i, believe AND i have not seen the injury report,
- 44:14Speaker 2: today and Again i'm going to, practice BUT i believe
- 44:17Speaker 2: that one of, two Either Peyton watson Or Aaron, gordon
- 44:20Speaker 2: should be available to play tomorrow night against The, lakers
- 44:24Speaker 2: at least one of. Them, yeah and if, not reconvene
- 44:28Speaker 2: and do it the following night against The. Knicks it's
- 44:30Speaker 2: just what could go wrong schedule wise is going. Wrong
- 44:34Speaker 2: the worst possible time of year to have the toughest
- 44:38Speaker 2: stretch is. Now, yep the worst possible. Time he could
- 44:41Speaker 2: have been worse with four of the five guys, OUT
- 44:44Speaker 2: i get. It, yeah but even then then you could
- 44:46Speaker 2: cope with.
- 44:46Speaker 5: IT i, said, yeah you know What i'm.
- 44:48Speaker 2: Saying i'd rather go through that stretch In january and, now,
- 44:53Speaker 2: YEAH i. Would, yeah you're. Right and the worst possible
- 44:56Speaker 2: time of year to have a stretch where you have
- 44:59Speaker 2: these back to backs is, Now, yeah because you've got
- 45:02Speaker 2: two guys coming off solve tissue. Problems so it's like
- 45:06Speaker 2: a little bit of everything right. Now all that could
- 45:09Speaker 2: go wrong is. Happening, yeah you've got to pull your
- 45:12Speaker 2: way out of.
