2-03-26 Hour 1 - Avs looked awful vs Red Wings/David Webb calling plays?/NBA Trade Deadline approaching · Moser, Lombardi and Kane

0:00
Speaker 1: This is Mosher, Lombardi and Kane on demand. Listen live
0:05
Speaker 1: every weekday morning from seven to ten on Altitude Sports
0:08
Speaker 1: Radio ninety two five and on the Altitude Sports Radio app.
0:18
Speaker 2: This Miko on the power play has been the biggest
0:21
Speaker 2: reason why, without a doubt, having that left shot, big
0:25
Speaker 2: shooter can also pass. You see what he's done on
0:27
Speaker 2: the power play in Dallas. You probably don't want to
0:29
Speaker 2: talk about that, but that's the reality I think they have.
0:32
Speaker 2: Power play has significantly gotten worse since the departure of Brantman.
0:36
Speaker 2: The team has stayed just as good, but the power
0:39
Speaker 2: play has suffered for sure.
0:42
Speaker 3: Eric Johnson on with this yesterday, mos Hey, we need
0:52
Speaker 3: we need to stop playing hockey games for a little bit.
0:54
Speaker 3: I know we got one more tomorrow, we got to stop.
1:00
Speaker 3: It's like the only way that this team plays a
1:04
Speaker 3: good game right now is if they're embarrassed the game before.
1:10
Speaker 4: Therefore, you expect tomorrow night they'll come out and smoke
1:13
Speaker 4: the Sharks. Yeah, yep, like Snoop Dogg on a big
1:19
Speaker 4: old fatty.
1:20
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's just look, man, it's very clear and obvious.
1:25
Speaker 3: And this is a fear that I had when they
1:27
Speaker 3: were starting to like, go on this stretch a little bit.
1:31
Speaker 3: Do they still have a nice cushion? Yes? Is it
1:33
Speaker 3: what it was? No, they said they have games in hand.
1:37
Speaker 3: I understand that on Dallas. They have games in hand
1:40
Speaker 3: on Minnesota, but Minnesota is now five points back of you. Yes,
1:44
Speaker 3: you have three games in hand, but that number was
1:46
Speaker 3: ten like a week ago. You're six points up on Dallas.
1:51
Speaker 3: You have two games in hand, but that number was
1:54
Speaker 3: like eleven a week ago. So that's all I'm saying.
1:57
Speaker 3: It's just like you need to make sure you hammer
1:59
Speaker 3: out the one more win against the Sharks and then
2:03
Speaker 3: take your break, which I think is much needed for
2:05
Speaker 3: them right now. It's a little whittling away effect, is
2:08
Speaker 3: what it is.
2:08
Speaker 4: Yes, you know, I think if you grew up in Appalachia,
2:14
Speaker 4: you're a whittler. Well you know what I'm talking about, Right,
2:17
Speaker 4: you get a piece of wood, your little pucket.
2:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, just peel off.
2:24
Speaker 4: Little pieces, little pieces of a stick.
2:27
Speaker 5: Right.
2:27
Speaker 4: I don't know what you make out of that stick,
2:29
Speaker 4: either that piece, I don't know what you make because
2:32
Speaker 4: vampire stabbing stick or something steak or whatever, I don't know. Yeah,
2:37
Speaker 4: that's what it feels like.
2:38
Speaker 3: It has been.
2:38
Speaker 4: Uh, in terms of teams trying to catch the Avs
2:43
Speaker 4: in the Western Conference especially. I'm not even worried about
2:46
Speaker 4: the Pacific. I'm worried about the Central obviously. That's where
2:50
Speaker 4: the worry would come in with those teams. And I
2:52
Speaker 4: get what you're saying. Last night to me was a
2:55
Speaker 4: very frustrating game. What was my key to the game yesterday?
2:58
Speaker 4: Does anybody recall, Nelly? Do you recall my key to
3:00
Speaker 4: the game? Was my number one key to the game?
3:02
Speaker 6: Start fast and what finish strong?
3:06
Speaker 3: No, and try your best?
3:09
Speaker 4: Are you are you even? Were you even here yesterday?
3:13
Speaker 4: I mean physically I know you were, but mentally were
3:15
Speaker 4: you here?
3:16
Speaker 6: It takes you so long to get to your key.
3:18
Speaker 3: It was quick.
3:19
Speaker 6: I don't start strong, which.
3:20
Speaker 3: I said, get yourself a lead early. Get you got
3:23
Speaker 3: to get a lead early on.
3:23
Speaker 7: And they did the exact opposite of that. They started
3:25
Speaker 7: slow and went in a hole.
3:27
Speaker 4: You know, if you were in this game long enough,
3:28
Speaker 4: and I have been for thirty years, something like that,
3:33
Speaker 4: it's insane. You see things you haven't seen before. I've
3:36
Speaker 4: never seen a game where the goals were bookended by
3:40
Speaker 4: fifty nine minutes of nothing.
3:42
Speaker 3: Yeah, goal fifty nine minutes goal. The hell's that? If
3:49
Speaker 3: I told you that the Wings would score three the hell?
3:52
Speaker 3: The hell is that if I told you the Wings
3:55
Speaker 3: would score thirty three seconds in the game, and with
4:00
Speaker 3: a minute left they would have one goal? Still is
4:06
Speaker 3: it a minute? Right? I think you're up for to one.
4:09
Speaker 3: Our whole few up for to one. And I guaranteed
4:12
Speaker 3: you that's what would happen. How much of your money
4:15
Speaker 3: would have you would you have taken a Blackhawk to
4:17
Speaker 3: throw down on the ass winning last night.
4:20
Speaker 4: Doors would still be counting. Yeah, pennies, I got that
4:25
Speaker 4: kind of bread. But I could do it in pennies
4:27
Speaker 4: and really make her life miss.
4:28
Speaker 3: Reverse mortgage my house, throw it all on the American
4:32
Speaker 3: Financing automatic free money and yet nothing And look that
4:40
Speaker 3: game was Brett, We'll go over all of it.
4:42
Speaker 4: It was so frustrating from a broadcasting standpoint, from a
4:45
Speaker 4: fan standpoint, from a team standpoint. Riiker he was telling you,
4:50
Speaker 4: He's like, look, these guys are their front their first
4:53
Speaker 4: they're slamming doors, you know, they're banging sticks, They're all
4:56
Speaker 4: I mean, they just it was frustrating hot and Johnny
5:00
Speaker 4: Lyle said it best to last night. The number of
5:04
Speaker 4: flipouts from the Red Wings out of their zone was exhausting. Yeah,
5:09
Speaker 4: we go back to the dut game. Joe Quinville had
5:12
Speaker 4: some guys out. He's like, here's what we're gonna do, boys,
5:15
Speaker 4: anytime we get the puck on our own zone, if
5:17
Speaker 4: there's any kind of pressure, where just gonna flip it out. Yep,
5:21
Speaker 4: flip it out. And that's when the Aps did apply pressure.
5:24
Speaker 4: When they didn't apply pressure, it was d to D
5:26
Speaker 4: and then out of the zone and then dumped in and.
5:29
Speaker 3: Then yeah, yeah, yeah, all that stuff. It's just Texas says,
5:34
Speaker 3: you guys are delusional. There is no break. Half the
5:36
Speaker 3: team is going to burn off precious energy and risk
5:40
Speaker 3: injury for the stupid Olympics. I don't call that rest
5:42
Speaker 3: and relaxation. This isn't like the grind of an NHL
5:45
Speaker 3: schedule that they're playing in the Olympics. Okay, it's not
5:48
Speaker 3: that number one, number two. Here's how I put it, Like, Mose,
5:56
Speaker 3: you're going overseas, right, you're taking a little trip. We
6:01
Speaker 3: I mean, see how far are you go or how
6:03
Speaker 3: long are you gone? Ten days? Max? I think okay,
6:08
Speaker 3: so MOS's checked out. Maybe actually he's gonna wait until
6:12
Speaker 3: the Sharks game, and then he's gonna well, right now,
6:16
Speaker 3: I'm pretty I'm pretty on the ball this morning. Here's
6:19
Speaker 3: the thing when you have a vacation that's like that, Hey,
6:23
Speaker 3: we're going to Europe and we're gonna bounce around from
6:25
Speaker 3: England to France and then we're gonna go to Spain.
6:27
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that people who do those kind of
6:29
Speaker 3: trips their last two days at work before that are
6:32
Speaker 3: just they're not junk. They're nothing their luggage. You're lucky
6:38
Speaker 3: that they even showed up there. If you're taking a
6:41
Speaker 3: day off, Hey I'm off on Friday this week, you
6:44
Speaker 3: don't have that same thing. It's a day.
6:46
Speaker 4: This is.
6:48
Speaker 3: Three weeks of a break. I think all of this
6:51
Speaker 3: team is just like, get me to the end of
6:53
Speaker 3: this nonsense. And whether they're playing in the Olympics or not,
6:56
Speaker 3: it's just different. You know something different is coming.
7:00
Speaker 4: You have eight guys going, two of which have barely
7:04
Speaker 4: played hockey in a month.
7:06
Speaker 3: Davontave's came back last night, first game in a month.
7:08
Speaker 4: He got hurt January third in Carolina, so it's zero
7:14
Speaker 4: wear and tear on his body that entire months. He
7:17
Speaker 4: gets healthy, right and he's fine. Game Landiskag got hurt
7:22
Speaker 4: the very next game in Florida. Do you recall that, Yes,
7:25
Speaker 4: those we're back to backs, you remember that.
7:28
Speaker 3: Yep. So that's another month.
7:30
Speaker 4: And he skated in morning skate yesterday, started out in
7:32
Speaker 4: the blue sweater, went to a red sweater, no contact.
7:37
Speaker 3: It feels like there are zero firies missing the Olympics
7:39
Speaker 3: if he does play in the Olympics.
7:40
Speaker 4: I mean, as you said, Brett, it's not back to backs,
7:44
Speaker 4: it's game.
7:46
Speaker 3: Three days off game. It's not a grind three days
7:50
Speaker 3: off game. Yeah, it's like that. Now.
7:53
Speaker 4: When you get to the Metal Round, it's probably game
7:56
Speaker 4: day off game if you make it there. If you
7:59
Speaker 4: make it there, and there's no guarantee that you know,
8:01
Speaker 4: all these guys are gonna make it there. Yeah, Finland
8:04
Speaker 4: and Sweden and the US and Canada and blah blah
8:07
Speaker 4: blah blah blah. Anyway, the point is, uh, they could
8:10
Speaker 4: use a break right now. They really could. Again, our guys,
8:14
Speaker 4: Johnny Mitchell came in, Kyle and Riker are leaving tomorrow
8:19
Speaker 4: to go to New York. So it's gonna be just
8:21
Speaker 4: Johnny Lyles and I in the booth. Johnny Mitchell will
8:24
Speaker 4: be sitting in with Keefer, actually met with with Rachel.
8:26
Speaker 4: I apologize Keifer and Riiker going to New York to
8:30
Speaker 4: prepare and get the lowdown on the animated game coming
8:33
Speaker 4: up after the Olympic break.
8:34
Speaker 3: Huh.
8:37
Speaker 4: There's a game coming up called Bernie's Mountain Showdown. It's
8:40
Speaker 4: when the ass take on the Wild Okay, all the
8:45
Speaker 4: little guys, all the players are gonna be animated as
8:47
Speaker 4: dogs and whatnot.
8:49
Speaker 3: Okay, and then and it's gonna be the game the
8:51
Speaker 3: attract in real time. It's gonna be like the Nickelodeon
8:55
Speaker 3: football broadcast.
8:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, and and Kyle and Ryker are gonna call that game.
9:01
Speaker 3: Okay. I can't wait till Vick here's this.
9:04
Speaker 4: Yeah, we've only been advertising it on the broadcast for
9:09
Speaker 4: two months. But everybody has something smart to say. Johnny
9:14
Speaker 4: Mitchell was back last night, had a lot of smart things.
9:17
Speaker 3: To say, and Johnny Lyles was correct as well.
9:20
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys are really if you get over
9:23
Speaker 4: there any thing else, these guys are smart guys about hockey.
9:28
Speaker 4: Riker smart guy about hockey. If everybody's on the same page,
9:34
Speaker 4: Wings are a superb skating team. If you get the
9:36
Speaker 4: wings down. They've got to skate, They've got to go
9:38
Speaker 4: north south.
9:39
Speaker 3: Yeah.
9:39
Speaker 4: They can't just keep flipping it out all the time.
9:41
Speaker 4: They need puck possession to try to get within one
9:44
Speaker 4: or get tired or whatever it may be. But boyle boy,
9:47
Speaker 4: when they gotta lead, they just, as the game went on,
9:50
Speaker 4: flip it out, flip it out, flip it out. And
9:53
Speaker 4: then you're your alternate tactic if they're going to stand
9:55
Speaker 4: you up in the neutral zone, is well, do you
9:57
Speaker 4: dump and chase and have three guys going in hard
10:00
Speaker 4: on the for check?
10:01
Speaker 3: Yeah?
10:02
Speaker 4: Or are you you know, one guy dumping and chasing
10:04
Speaker 4: and he's a single forward in and the other two
10:06
Speaker 4: are now joining the play because they're making it. I mean,
10:09
Speaker 4: it gets funky, right you get into this, this no
10:11
Speaker 4: man's land, this hybrid land where nothing seems to work,
10:15
Speaker 4: and the Avs are built to be a carry the
10:18
Speaker 4: pucking team most of all. For the most part, they
10:21
Speaker 4: made everybody do it last night and it was frustrating.
10:24
Speaker 3: His heck, So it really was. This feels a lot
10:26
Speaker 3: like years ago when you played Seattle. If they got
10:31
Speaker 3: a lead, they just played the most boring brand of
10:35
Speaker 3: hockey they could play to stop you from doing anything exciting.
10:39
Speaker 3: That's what it felt like. That's exactly correct. You know.
10:44
Speaker 3: I'll tell you something else. Mos. When you have guys
10:47
Speaker 3: that are hurt and you have a team that's kind
10:50
Speaker 3: of in a lull, you need your best players to
10:51
Speaker 3: play at their best. I don't know what's going on
10:54
Speaker 3: with Kale. He can't hit the net. I was listened
10:56
Speaker 3: to a little bit of roj In Springer last night
10:57
Speaker 3: on Between the Pipes. Cal leads all defensemen in the
11:01
Speaker 3: league and missshots on goal. And I understand that he
11:04
Speaker 3: has the puck on his stick more than any defenseman
11:07
Speaker 3: in the league too, so like that those numbers are
11:09
Speaker 3: gonna add up. But it feels like he's trying to
11:13
Speaker 3: be so cute in where he's putting the puck, like
11:16
Speaker 3: hit the perfect part of the corner, you know whatever,
11:19
Speaker 3: that he's just straight up missing and it's not helping anything.
11:21
Speaker 3: Can't get a rebound off, it can't get nothing.
11:24
Speaker 4: I'm watching these teams play against the EBS and watching
11:30
Speaker 4: all these skaters eventually gets sucked into the middle of
11:34
Speaker 4: the ice.
11:36
Speaker 3: God, it's so gross.
11:38
Speaker 4: They all just collapse down. First of all, their goalie
11:42
Speaker 4: can't see the puck. There's no way he possibly can
11:44
Speaker 4: but the but you don't worry about it because it's
11:46
Speaker 4: not gonna get there. He's gonna bang off a dude
11:48
Speaker 4: in front. I mean, these guys just go home. There's
11:51
Speaker 4: no there's no gaps at all. They just go home
11:54
Speaker 4: and hide is what they do. Build a picket fence
11:58
Speaker 4: in front of their net. It's ugly hockey, but when
12:00
Speaker 4: you're facing a team like the Abs that can get
12:03
Speaker 4: up and down the eyes in his dynamic, that's what
12:06
Speaker 4: you have to do to ply it two points out
12:08
Speaker 4: out of their building. Yeah, it's not fun, but it's
12:12
Speaker 4: but it's just the way it is. And you know what,
12:14
Speaker 4: We just played a cut from Jared Bednar before the
12:16
Speaker 4: show began. It was a promo Nelly, do you don't
12:19
Speaker 4: still have that?
12:20
Speaker 1: Do you?
12:21
Speaker 4: It was from I think it was from last week
12:23
Speaker 4: here on this program or the week before, and he
12:26
Speaker 4: laid it out perfectly. If they're going to take away
12:30
Speaker 4: the number one thing you like to do, and maybe
12:32
Speaker 4: the number two or partially, then what do you do?
12:35
Speaker 4: How do you react to that? What do you do
12:37
Speaker 4: to still employ.
12:40
Speaker 3: Attack it?
12:40
Speaker 4: That's going to beat the opposition, And you got to
12:42
Speaker 4: figure it out, and you got to get on page quicker,
12:44
Speaker 4: and I think that they will. It's just the right
12:47
Speaker 4: and by the way, for the vast majority of the season,
12:50
Speaker 4: they've done a kick butt job of that period in
12:53
Speaker 4: any given game. Right now, they're just right now, they're
12:57
Speaker 4: being stubborn, frustrated and like, get me to the rake,
13:00
Speaker 4: go ahead.
13:01
Speaker 1: Altitude Sports Radio is the home of your Colorado still
13:06
Speaker 1: every Wednesday to commercial did Jared be Nur Show?
13:09
Speaker 5: Think over the course of the season, you're going to
13:11
Speaker 5: see a lot of the very statement. A team takes
13:14
Speaker 5: away what you want to do, and then they take
13:16
Speaker 5: away the second thing you want to do. What are
13:19
Speaker 5: you going to do? Are you going to get frustrated?
13:21
Speaker 5: Or are you gonna find solutions and work through it?
13:24
Speaker 5: And I'd rather learn those.
13:25
Speaker 3: Lections now, did Jared?
13:27
Speaker 4: That's exactly what you're doing last night, exactly what you're doing.
13:33
Speaker 3: Texas says, it feels like Nature's has been absent. Well,
13:36
Speaker 3: that's because he has been. He has been missed the
13:40
Speaker 3: last two games. He's gonna be fine, He's gonna play
13:42
Speaker 3: in the Olympics. He's fine. It's just that he's got
13:44
Speaker 3: a little bit of a lower body they're just try
13:46
Speaker 3: to chill him out. So uh Vick is trying to
13:48
Speaker 3: get set up here from San Francisco. Hopefully he'll join
13:51
Speaker 3: us here in just a little bit. It's another ass
13:53
Speaker 3: ticket Tuesday. By the way, one last game coming up
13:56
Speaker 3: tomorrow that will give away a pair of tickets too.

15:45
Speaker 7: Actually, I've been told that the same electric substation that
15:49
Speaker 7: is causing the Niners to have all their injuries has
15:52
Speaker 7: come for vic's internet connection.
15:53
Speaker 6: So thanks Tesla.
15:55
Speaker 4: Yeah, imagine can you imagine practicing next to Electronobyl? Because
16:00
Speaker 4: it feels like that's what the Niners are doing now.
16:01
Speaker 4: I know, I know that John Lynch said, look, we're
16:05
Speaker 4: looking at it, We're looking into everything.
16:07
Speaker 3: I mean that you see outside the fence at their
16:12
Speaker 3: practice facility.
16:13
Speaker 4: It looks like, have you considered the biggest electrical substation
16:18
Speaker 4: on the planet.
16:18
Speaker 3: Have you considered looking at the nuclear power plant that's
16:21
Speaker 3: right next to your practice facility, because that had something
16:25
Speaker 3: to do with it. We're in the summer camp now
16:26
Speaker 3: at three Mile Island.
16:29
Speaker 4: Yes, I mean, come on, man, anyway, the scientists have
16:34
Speaker 4: told us there is no correlation between all of this
16:37
Speaker 4: electricity in the air and are the eight hundred billion
16:40
Speaker 4: injuries our team.
16:41
Speaker 3: Suffers every single season. But we're looking into it anyway,
16:45
Speaker 3: and we come on. I mean, all their tenons are Linguini,
16:47
Speaker 3: but we don't think that's got anything to.
16:48
Speaker 4: Do with it.
16:49
Speaker 3: So it looks like he's Vic joining us now from ten.
16:52
Speaker 3: No he's not. No, he is not, because just staring
16:56
Speaker 3: off in the distance. Look at his hair. Look how
16:58
Speaker 3: dumb it looks well as we await Vic. Can I
17:02
Speaker 3: say this, Davis Webb being promoted offensive coordinator is not
17:06
Speaker 3: something that's surprising to anyone when.
17:09
Speaker 4: You saw the news come down yesterday, Could you think
17:11
Speaker 4: of anything less surprising?
17:13
Speaker 3: No, there's multiple different sort of offshoots to this.
17:18
Speaker 4: Though.
17:19
Speaker 3: Once he removed his name from consideration for the Raiders gig.
17:21
Speaker 3: I think it became pretty obvious that this was going
17:24
Speaker 3: to be the logical next step. The question now is
17:31
Speaker 3: what are his responsibilities? That's the only question.
17:35
Speaker 4: We had Adam Schefter on yesterday and he was asked
17:37
Speaker 4: the question, can you conceive of Sean Payton giving a
17:41
Speaker 4: play calling duties? And he said, yeah, I can see that,
17:45
Speaker 4: whether it's now or down the road someplace. You know,
17:47
Speaker 4: things evolve, coaches evolve, situations evolve, and.
17:53
Speaker 3: I can see that too.
17:54
Speaker 4: It's just that Sean Payton has been I mean, if
17:56
Speaker 4: this does happen, it seems like an out of character
18:01
Speaker 4: situation for Sean Payton.
18:04
Speaker 3: It seems like it would be his last choice. Maybe
18:08
Speaker 3: it's not.
18:09
Speaker 4: I could be misreading this, but he's a real detail
18:12
Speaker 4: oriented kind of guy. He takes a great deal of
18:18
Speaker 4: pride in his ability to play call during a game. Yeah,
18:22
Speaker 4: and his playbook that he designed. And so to say, ah,
18:26
Speaker 4: you know what, Davis. I know you're thirty one, but
18:29
Speaker 4: you take it from here. It doesn't seem like the
18:32
Speaker 4: natural progression for Sean Payton yet, but who knows. I
18:36
Speaker 4: don't know what is going on behind the scenes.
18:40
Speaker 3: Let me put it to you this way. We'll do
18:44
Speaker 3: this again. I did this in the appetizer. Let's do
18:46
Speaker 3: this one more time, straw. Do you want Sean Payton
18:54
Speaker 3: calling plays next year? Yes or no. I'm gonna give
18:58
Speaker 3: this a second. But here's the thing. As you did
19:00
Speaker 3: this earlier, I was shocked by the results. Shocked. It
19:05
Speaker 3: was almost not just universal unanimous. No, it was like
19:11
Speaker 3: with umph behind it, a couple of bleeps in front
19:16
Speaker 3: of the no. And I've been trying to figure this out.
19:20
Speaker 3: You mean you asked if people want Sean Payton to
19:22
Speaker 3: give up play calling, because I don't personally, I'm gonna
19:27
Speaker 3: I'm gonna ask it again. Do you want Sean Payton
19:30
Speaker 3: calling plays next year?
19:31
Speaker 5: Yes or no?
19:32
Speaker 3: Just we get the yes nos? Right? Do you want
19:34
Speaker 3: Sean Payton calling plays? Yes or no?
19:38
Speaker 4: And no?
19:39
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no again. I was shocked by
19:43
Speaker 3: how many people were screaming no. But that's you know
19:46
Speaker 3: what that is, Brett.
19:47
Speaker 4: That's an emotional response, probably mostly to a very disappointing
19:54
Speaker 4: end to the season.
19:57
Speaker 3: Here's the part that confuses me every Monday. Essentially, I
20:03
Speaker 3: came in here during the course of this football season
20:07
Speaker 3: and said the Broncos won butt, and what followed the
20:12
Speaker 3: butt their offense stunk and I hated it. And that's
20:17
Speaker 3: gonna get your beat later in the year, and that's
20:19
Speaker 3: gonna get your beat in the playoffs. And I think
20:22
Speaker 3: part of it was play calling. I think a lot
20:24
Speaker 3: of it has to do with you just aren't You
20:25
Speaker 3: aren't rife with elite level talent offensively, And as I
20:32
Speaker 3: said that, the response that I got from a lot
20:35
Speaker 3: of people is shut up. They won. The offense is
20:41
Speaker 3: doing enough to win, They're making the requisite plays. Like
20:45
Speaker 3: That's what I kept getting in return. And now here's
20:48
Speaker 3: what's so bizarre is that I feel like I'm on
20:53
Speaker 3: the side of the people that were yelling at me
20:54
Speaker 3: earlier in the year, and I'm being yelled at by
20:56
Speaker 3: myself from earlier in the year, honestly, Like I got
21:00
Speaker 3: a whole bunch of people. Don't act like you haven't
21:02
Speaker 3: yelled at yourself before. Well, but here's the thing, moj
21:05
Speaker 3: I kept saying, like, this isn't good enough, and I
21:09
Speaker 3: kept using this a certain word. I said, this is
21:12
Speaker 3: unsustainable to success. And then guess what the success was
21:18
Speaker 3: sustained Like they kept it together to the AFC Championship game,
21:23
Speaker 3: and to the point of I think if bo Nick's plays,
21:26
Speaker 3: there's no question in my mind, you're still we're all
21:29
Speaker 3: in San Francisco right now because the Broncos are playing
21:32
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl with a chance to win it.
21:34
Speaker 3: We left our hard sho uh. But here's the thing,
21:38
Speaker 3: moj I got all these people yelling Sean Payton needs
21:43
Speaker 3: to give up play calling duties for a guy that
21:45
Speaker 3: we've never seen call plays before. Well, we have in
21:48
Speaker 3: the preseason. We saw Jared stidem drow passes in the
21:51
Speaker 3: preseason too.
21:52
Speaker 4: Well, agreed, Maybe maybe it'll be some sort of a
21:54
Speaker 4: hybrid type of situation, maybe ridiculous. It doesn't feel like
21:59
Speaker 4: that's the way it should be, but maybe it will be.
22:01
Speaker 4: If I'm trying to think, Brett, this is why, hang on,
22:05
Speaker 4: I've heard people throw that out there. What would the
22:06
Speaker 4: hybrid be.
22:07
Speaker 3: I don't know. If Sean takes the play calling back,
22:10
Speaker 3: then what's the point of him not calling plays early
22:12
Speaker 3: in the Yeah?
22:12
Speaker 4: Okay, what I've tried to do in this particular situation
22:16
Speaker 4: is put myself into the shoes of one Davis Webb.
22:20
Speaker 4: I like Bo Nicks, I like Jarret's Didam I like
22:22
Speaker 4: that room. I don't know how he feels about Sam Denucci,
22:28
Speaker 4: Big Ben another beer at the airport. Yeah, I don't
22:32
Speaker 4: know how he feels, but I'm sure that they all
22:35
Speaker 4: like each other. I know that bo Nicks loves Davis Webb.
22:38
Speaker 3: He said so. In fact, I had the quote. I
22:41
Speaker 3: can find it. But about up, Uh, it goes like this.
22:44
Speaker 4: Uh, he's an awesome coach, really knows how to communicate
22:48
Speaker 4: with players. With me, He's told me in two years
22:49
Speaker 4: to consolidate may things simple and just keep the main
22:52
Speaker 4: thing the main thing, taking a lot of information, a
22:54
Speaker 4: lot of knowledge, just rolling right into it.
22:56
Speaker 3: I think highly of him. End quote.
22:58
Speaker 4: Okay, so wants him around. I'm sure Stillham loves him too.
23:02
Speaker 4: I'm sure he's great with that room. Why would he
23:05
Speaker 4: stay though, if he's not going to call plays because
23:07
Speaker 4: he got offensive coordinator offers from other places. Now again,
23:11
Speaker 4: maybe he trusts his quarterbacks and maybe he trusts the
23:15
Speaker 4: offensive system overall, and he feels that he can work better,
23:19
Speaker 4: you know, and learn more in this particular system. But
23:21
Speaker 4: he had head interviews not only to be an oc
23:25
Speaker 4: other places, but also be the head coach, and he
23:28
Speaker 4: also was the target to be in OC with the
23:31
Speaker 4: New York Giants and Harbaugh for crying out loud. So
23:35
Speaker 4: why would you stay in Denver, Colorado just to be
23:39
Speaker 4: promoted in name only but essentially have quote the same job?
23:43
Speaker 4: I mean, the OC job is not only designing offensive
23:47
Speaker 4: game plans and so on, but it's also on game
23:50
Speaker 4: day getting it done with a play calling.
23:54
Speaker 3: I think I have that answer. By the way, the
23:57
Speaker 3: keyword for this hour is tiger, So text that for
24:00
Speaker 3: his last name to three H three five O four
24:02
Speaker 3: nine two five.
24:02
Speaker 4: Well, the crappy part about this is there's nobody to
24:04
Speaker 4: ask right now. You can't ask Sean Payton, you can't
24:08
Speaker 4: ask David David Davis Webb.
24:11
Speaker 3: So come on to answer your first question, why would
24:14
Speaker 3: he take this job? I think that one's pretty simple.
24:18
Speaker 3: First of all, it's a comfortable situation that he's in.
24:20
Speaker 3: He gets a promotion, he gets pay raise, and if
24:25
Speaker 3: he's the OC for a team that continues success, then
24:27
Speaker 3: he's going to get more head coaching in it. Agreed
24:30
Speaker 3: New York and becomes the OC and they stink, then
24:33
Speaker 3: his flame starts to dwindle.
24:35
Speaker 4: Well, this is where I don't understand, and I don't
24:37
Speaker 4: know what his aspirations are.
24:40
Speaker 3: Does he want to call plays right now?
24:42
Speaker 4: Does he simply want to bump up more hands on
24:46
Speaker 4: in the making of the ingredients for the game plan
24:48
Speaker 4: every single week and then watch how Jean calls the plays.
24:52
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't, I truly do not know what
24:54
Speaker 3: his motivation is.
24:56
Speaker 4: Because of that, I I I can't really say why
24:59
Speaker 4: he want wanted to stay overall in Denver. What he
25:02
Speaker 4: had several opportunities to be the guy at other places,
25:06
Speaker 4: but he's still a very hot name, and continuing on
25:09
Speaker 4: offensively with this team and having this offense be better
25:12
Speaker 4: next year is only going to increase his stock.
25:15
Speaker 3: Here's the problem that I have, you know, getting back
25:18
Speaker 3: to I came in every reaction show that we had
25:23
Speaker 3: and started yelling about I didn't like the offense, and
25:27
Speaker 3: then people yelled at me to shut up with their winning.
25:30
Speaker 3: And then the season ends and all of a sudden,
25:33
Speaker 3: everybody hates the offense and once everything changed with it again,
25:37
Speaker 3: Texas says Brett. The truth hurts, and the offense was
25:40
Speaker 3: horrible all year, and that's the truth. You don't got
25:44
Speaker 3: to tell me that. I know, I know they weren't horrible.
25:48
Speaker 3: All year. They are horrible for three quarters on most weeks.
25:52
Speaker 3: That's how it was.
25:54
Speaker 4: Now. I mean when you use the word horrible, though,
25:57
Speaker 4: I mean it sounds completely incompetent to me.
26:00
Speaker 3: The game that they want in the playoffs, most had
26:01
Speaker 3: forty seven yards in the second half. Understood. That's not acceptable. Understood.
26:06
Speaker 3: The thing you have to get down to is what's
26:08
Speaker 3: the reason for it, Because most people are jumping to
26:11
Speaker 3: what I think is the easiest thing for people to do,
26:13
Speaker 3: which is, well, the play calling was bad, and I
26:17
Speaker 3: think you got to hit. You got to get hit
26:19
Speaker 3: with a harsher reality that I don't think you're that talented.
26:23
Speaker 3: That's the problem. Like, here's the thing. Your offensive line
26:28
Speaker 3: is at minimum pretty good, at maximum really good. Your
26:33
Speaker 3: quarterback is I don't even know how to truly judge
26:38
Speaker 3: bon Nicks. Like he's good, but sometimes he's not, you
26:43
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like, that's you can't say that
26:45
Speaker 3: the offense was horrible but the quarterback was great. That
26:48
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense for those who'd missed it.
26:51
Speaker 4: I want you to go back to your buddies comment
26:53
Speaker 4: to you about bon Nicks, because I think this, this
26:58
Speaker 4: is probably right in line with the way a lot
27:01
Speaker 4: of people looked at this offense in this quarterback and
27:04
Speaker 4: what they thought.
27:05
Speaker 3: Please, I'm gonna say it the way that he said.
27:06
Speaker 4: Okay, but go through the scenario again so that everybody
27:08
Speaker 4: understands the context.
27:10
Speaker 3: The Broncos are playing terribly. They're doing nothing on offense.
27:12
Speaker 3: They can't score, they can't move the football, they can't
27:14
Speaker 3: pick up a first down. Bow Nicks makes one big
27:17
Speaker 3: throw to Courtland Sutton over the middle for like thirty yards,
27:20
Speaker 3: and he goes it's in there talking about his talent
27:24
Speaker 3: like it is. But here's the thing.
27:26
Speaker 4: I mean, he made a throw to Marvin Mims in
27:29
Speaker 4: the Buffalo playoff game that I thought was a billion
27:32
Speaker 4: dollar throw.
27:32
Speaker 3: Man, I'm like, damn it, that's such a good throw.
27:36
Speaker 3: But this is what I want to get at here.
27:38
Speaker 3: I was so excited. It's so easy for people like
27:42
Speaker 3: we do this in basketball. Teams do this all the time.
27:44
Speaker 3: Hockey teams do this all the time. The team's not playing, well,
27:47
Speaker 3: what's the problem. It's obviously the coach, is it? Or
27:50
Speaker 3: is it something deeper than well, here's the thing on,
27:52
Speaker 3: hang on, hang on, this is what's happening with the
27:54
Speaker 3: play calling. Thing that I just I don't know if
27:56
Speaker 3: people are willing to wrestle with right now. So if
28:00
Speaker 3: this is all true, I'm to assume if Davis Webb
28:05
Speaker 3: was calling the plays all year, this offense would have
28:08
Speaker 3: looked miles better than it did, because I don't buy that.
28:11
Speaker 3: And here's the reason why. The reason why wide receivers
28:16
Speaker 3: can't get open consistently is because they aren't Puka Nakua.
28:24
Speaker 3: The reason why you're having a tough time fitting throws
28:27
Speaker 3: in the passing lanes and guys are covered a lot
28:29
Speaker 3: is because you don't have JSN. Sutton's good. He's not great.
28:36
Speaker 3: I've been saying that for a long time. By the way,
28:38
Speaker 3: that he's very, very good at what he does. He's
28:40
Speaker 3: a possession guy, high point the football, one on one coverage,
28:43
Speaker 3: He's amazing at it. He does not get open consistently, though,
28:47
Speaker 3: because he doesn't have the athleticism to do it. You
28:49
Speaker 3: ever noticed that you ever seen Courtland Sutton running wide
28:52
Speaker 3: open motion? Or is Courtland Sutton always making a catch
28:55
Speaker 3: with somebody draped on him, which is a great quality
28:58
Speaker 3: to have, But how often do you see Justin Jefferson,
29:01
Speaker 3: who every week the defensive coordinator goes, we need to
29:04
Speaker 3: stop that mother bleeper no matter what we do, and
29:07
Speaker 3: he's wide open. Oh yeah multiple times? Is that scheme?
29:12
Speaker 3: Is that play calling? Or is that that guy's just
29:15
Speaker 3: really really good?
29:16
Speaker 4: It's you know, you go back, We'll see that the
29:18
Speaker 4: old Niners every single week? Who did the defense game
29:26
Speaker 4: playing four? Catching the football? The old school Niners?
29:30
Speaker 3: Jerry Rice, Jerry Rice. Yeah, and what did he do
29:34
Speaker 3: every week? He caught ten balls for one hundred and
29:36
Speaker 3: fifty yards and there's nothing you could do about it.
29:39
Speaker 3: Exactly right. You don't think Randy Moss. Every week? They
29:42
Speaker 3: were like that, y, we will not get beat by
29:45
Speaker 3: Randy Moss. And then what happened? You get beat by
29:48
Speaker 3: Randy mos week every week because he's really good. How
29:51
Speaker 3: many of those guys do you have? And I and look,
29:53
Speaker 3: I'm not even saying Moje that if he wants to
29:57
Speaker 3: give the play calling to Davis, Webber'd be like, okay.
29:59
Speaker 4: Fine, don't think he's gonna problem with I don't think
30:01
Speaker 4: he's going to do it though. At least yeah he's
30:04
Speaker 4: I think he's number one. But then that begs the question,
30:07
Speaker 4: why does web want to hang if he doesn't want
30:09
Speaker 4: to take quote.
30:10
Speaker 3: The next step you can continue to build glam on
30:14
Speaker 3: to success and then you can find a head coaching
30:17
Speaker 3: gig that's not Las Vegas. Okay, fine, Well, I mean
30:20
Speaker 3: he interviewed for a couple other gigs too. You know
30:21
Speaker 3: what I mean though, Like, if you start to get
30:23
Speaker 3: your pick of the litter of things, you can Hey, man,
30:25
Speaker 3: the Steelers and Ravens had open jobs this year, you know,
30:29
Speaker 3: like maybe you're waiting for something better than the bottom
30:32
Speaker 3: of the barrel. But but the point of this is,
30:36
Speaker 3: if you want to change the play caller, if you
30:38
Speaker 3: want to make a Davis Web, I'm on board. I'm
30:41
Speaker 3: not even gonna argue with you. Fine, fine, But if
30:44
Speaker 3: you think that's the magic fix for an offense that
30:47
Speaker 3: was broken at some points, well damn near every week
30:51
Speaker 3: at some points of a game felt broken. I get
30:55
Speaker 3: news for you. It doesn't work that way. The reason
30:58
Speaker 3: why your offense struggled a lie was because tell me
31:02
Speaker 3: the all pro elite playmaker that's on offense for you.
31:05
Speaker 3: You don't have one. The priority this year, forget the
31:09
Speaker 3: play calling for now. The priority should be go get
31:12
Speaker 3: us one of those pookahs. Well, those pokers don't grow
31:15
Speaker 3: on true, you give me one of those bons.
31:16
Speaker 4: You gotta you gotta credit the dang rams for I
31:20
Speaker 4: don't want to say pulling that rabbit out of the hat,
31:22
Speaker 4: but poking a cool a fifth rounder. I mean, let me,
31:25
Speaker 4: let me go back to what Peyton said though during
31:27
Speaker 4: the course of the regular season. This is why I
31:28
Speaker 4: don't think he's ready quote yet. Maybe there's some writing
31:32
Speaker 4: on some wall. And I'm also curious about this because
31:37
Speaker 4: we won't talk to Sean Payton for quite a while.
31:39
Speaker 4: I don't know when he's gonna talk again.
31:42
Speaker 3: Oh not until Ota is probably so or actually pre draft.
31:47
Speaker 4: Whose idea was it that we gotta keep Davis Webb
31:51
Speaker 4: that you know what, we're gonna fire Lombardi and we
31:55
Speaker 4: know this guy's that everybody's sniffing around our quarterbacks quote
32:00
Speaker 4: passing game quote, coach quote, thirty one year old quote.
32:05
Speaker 4: And we got to keep this guy at all costs
32:08
Speaker 4: because that's why Joe Lombardi's gone.
32:10
Speaker 3: I'm a guessing anyway, probably part of it. Whose idea
32:15
Speaker 3: was it was it? Fully, Sean Payton.
32:16
Speaker 4: You know what, I can't let this kid go because
32:18
Speaker 4: I see there's a gleam in his eye and he's
32:20
Speaker 4: awesome with our quarterbacks. I don't know, but everything I
32:23
Speaker 4: think I know about Sean Payton tells me, hey man,
32:27
Speaker 4: he's still the big dog on the on the block.
32:30
Speaker 3: And you don't just tell the big dog give up
32:32
Speaker 3: your bone.
32:33
Speaker 5: Right.
32:34
Speaker 3: Well, I'm gonna turn into Vic today. Sorry, Emosh, I'm
32:39
Speaker 3: just I'm looking at text right now and I'm just
32:41
Speaker 3: don't feel I feel it, building, don't do it, feel it.
32:43
Speaker 3: But here's what Peyton did during the season. But hang on,
32:45
Speaker 3: hang on, can I just read this real quick? Please?
32:49
Speaker 3: He said, Usually it's Vic, but today Brett has the
32:53
Speaker 3: worst take of the day. Players like jays And and
32:55
Speaker 3: Pooka get open because they have play callers scheming and
32:58
Speaker 3: forcing the ball to them. Look at their target versus
33:00
Speaker 3: Courtland Sutton. It does that, doesn't Jackson Smith?
33:03
Speaker 2: Good?
33:03
Speaker 3: Juba, I want I want you to hear me clearly. Clearly.
33:12
Speaker 3: Is Sean McVeagh an offensive genius who finds ways to
33:16
Speaker 3: get guys open? Yeah? Is Matthew Stafford an incredibly good
33:20
Speaker 3: quarterback who always finds a way to get his guy? Yeah?
33:24
Speaker 3: Both of those things can be true. And also this,
33:28
Speaker 3: They are unbelievable talents that are not stoppable again? How
33:34
Speaker 3: about this? If you wanted.
33:39
Speaker 5: So?
33:39
Speaker 3: Is this the argument that Courtland Sutton could get twelve
33:42
Speaker 3: catches in one hundred and fifty yards a game if
33:46
Speaker 3: Sean Payton wanted to do it, or if a play
33:48
Speaker 3: caller wanted to do it. Is that what you're telling me?
33:50
Speaker 4: No?
33:51
Speaker 3: Like again, shouldn't be out of all of Take all
33:54
Speaker 3: of the offenses in the NFL, and I want everybody
33:56
Speaker 3: to do this little mental exercise. All the offenses in
33:59
Speaker 3: the NFL. How many would trade their offense for yours?
34:04
Speaker 3: Straight up? None? I don't know if it's none. Well,
34:09
Speaker 3: team probably you said, you said you take. I think
34:12
Speaker 3: you should take the top offenses in the NFL. Take
34:15
Speaker 3: all of the offenses. I'm thinking top of all of them, Okay,
34:18
Speaker 3: all of them? How many of them would trade up
34:21
Speaker 3: their offense for yours? Straight up? And the answers? You
34:26
Speaker 3: could go Tennessee, Arizona. It ain't half. Maybe the maybe,
34:31
Speaker 3: well maybe not even the Saints.
34:32
Speaker 4: Now that shuck's gotten crazy all of a sudden, Tyler
34:35
Speaker 4: shuck with it and it's shuck with a gh not shocked.
34:39
Speaker 3: I don't like that. Pisses me off.
34:40
Speaker 4: To excuse my language, but he said during the regular
34:43
Speaker 4: season Peyton when asked about it, no quote, no, I
34:45
Speaker 4: think we're comfortable as an offensive staff with how we're
34:48
Speaker 4: operating end quote, talking about giving up play calling, So
34:51
Speaker 4: I don't see that happening at least right away.
34:53
Speaker 3: Like but but again, yeah, you were second in the
34:57
Speaker 3: league in drops. Is that a play calling issue?
35:00
Speaker 4: Let me before we get to break, let me go
35:02
Speaker 4: back to that person, that Texter and everybody else who
35:06
Speaker 4: may think that you're being vic today. I think Sean
35:10
Speaker 4: Payton's a brilliant play caller. I think Sean McVay is
35:15
Speaker 4: All these guys are really really really good. But on
35:19
Speaker 4: the other side of the football, you have really really
35:23
Speaker 4: really good DC's. Yeah, who say I want to take
35:28
Speaker 4: away that guy? Yeah, and you know what, sometimes you
35:34
Speaker 4: can well you know, but you know what else you
35:37
Speaker 4: can't forever.
35:38
Speaker 3: And they always get off. Here's here's the other things
35:41
Speaker 3: get off.
35:41
Speaker 4: Because that's how good they are, because, as you said, Brett,
35:44
Speaker 4: they are sue perb talents.
35:46
Speaker 3: Here's the other thing. Let's say you go into a
35:49
Speaker 3: game against the Rams, you say I want to take
35:51
Speaker 3: away PoCA. Well, that only leaves you Davante Adams on
35:56
Speaker 3: the other side, and Kyron Williams coming out of the backfield.
36:00
Speaker 3: When you have even if you have an elite talent,
36:04
Speaker 3: if you don't have other things you need to worry about.
36:06
Speaker 3: Like I've been stressing this forever, I think this is
36:09
Speaker 3: a talent issue. I think most of the things that
36:11
Speaker 3: we complain about with Sean Payton can be related back
36:13
Speaker 3: to talent. Hell, he doesn't run the football enough. He
36:16
Speaker 3: doesn't like his running backs. I didn't either last year.
36:19
Speaker 3: I like JK Dobbins. Did you guys like what you
36:22
Speaker 3: saw of your running backs? After JK Dobbinsay, but he
36:24
Speaker 3: got hurt?
36:24
Speaker 5: No?
36:25
Speaker 3: Not if he got hurt.
36:25
Speaker 4: No.
36:28
Speaker 3: So anyway, three oh three five oh four oh nine
36:30
Speaker 3: two five, we can get back to this later. H
36:31
Speaker 3: keyword for this hour is Tiger, so Tex set in
36:34
Speaker 3: your first and last name to three oh three five
36:35
Speaker 3: O four oh nine two five. He gives you a
36:37
Speaker 3: chance to win tickets to the game against San Jose tomorrow.
36:40
Speaker 3: Back after this, tune in for covers of the Nuggets
36:42
Speaker 3: rematch against the best team in the East, the Detroit
36:45
Speaker 3: Pistons on Altitude Sports Radio ninety two five. Pregame starts
36:47
Speaker 3: at four thirty. It's powered by Ramos Law. The a
36:50
Speaker 3: lot of Detroit's going on here. The Great Mike Jagger
36:55
Speaker 3: and Keith Richards one time rode a tune overboard on
37:00
Speaker 3: the songs.
37:01
Speaker 4: Today, Well, it's called satisfaction, and I can't get no
37:04
Speaker 4: in regards to the Broncos offensive situation. We'll eventually talk
37:10
Speaker 4: to Sean Payton, We'll eventually hear from Davis Web. We'll
37:13
Speaker 4: get the lowdown on how this is going to work. Yeah,
37:17
Speaker 4: and then I still won't be satisfied. I'd like to
37:20
Speaker 4: be satisfied. I'm begging to be satisfied in this regard,
37:24
Speaker 4: but I'm not going to be until we actually get
37:27
Speaker 4: into games. Well, hey, you want to find out how
37:29
Speaker 4: good Bonix is. You want to find out really how
37:31
Speaker 4: good number ten is as he goes into year three.
37:34
Speaker 4: Have Davis Web call the plays and let's see if
37:36
Speaker 4: it looks any different whatsoever. Let's table this for a second,
37:39
Speaker 4: because okay, fine, I'm just saying that it weighs on
37:42
Speaker 4: my mind.
37:43
Speaker 3: There's something else that's coming up, and it's it's in
37:45
Speaker 3: a couple of days. The NBA trade deadline is Thursday
37:51
Speaker 3: at like one o'clock. I think is when it ends
37:54
Speaker 3: our time. There's three options that I see happening for
38:01
Speaker 3: the Nuggets. One is nothing, which is always an option,
38:06
Speaker 3: and I think it's a pretty likely option that nothing
38:09
Speaker 3: happens for them at the deadline. Two is they trade
38:13
Speaker 3: off a smaller contract because they need to make room
38:16
Speaker 3: for Spencer Jones. So two is like they trade Hunter
38:20
Speaker 3: Tyson or they trade Zeke at the deadline. Yeah. One,
38:27
Speaker 3: I'm going to Spain, So nada nada. Two two smally
38:34
Speaker 3: poquito piquito three grande trade, which would be like a
38:42
Speaker 3: Cam Johnson or a Christian Brown. And here's why, it
38:46
Speaker 3: depends on where their heads are at. Now with the
38:47
Speaker 3: Peyton Watson money, you're trying to get fun. It's you
38:50
Speaker 3: thinking long term for Peyton Watson. Now, if you do that,
38:54
Speaker 3: that hinders your chances this year, Like you would be
38:57
Speaker 3: offloading a guy who can play for championship level roster.
39:01
Speaker 3: Would you be willing to do that because you're so
39:03
Speaker 3: scared of what the offseason looks like with Peyton Watson,
39:06
Speaker 3: Like that's something you're wrestling with and I don't think
39:08
Speaker 3: that's very likely. I think, well, I want you to
39:12
Speaker 3: I don't want to jump in yet please, But that's
39:14
Speaker 3: basically the three and they are not going to buy anything.
39:18
Speaker 3: And for the first time in forever, it feels great
39:20
Speaker 3: to say this. They don't need anything they have, especially
39:25
Speaker 3: once they get healthy. They have all the pieces they need.
39:28
Speaker 3: They don't need to trade for anyone right now.
39:32
Speaker 4: I think deal number three, what's behind door number three
39:36
Speaker 4: is the least likely, and I think that's also something
39:39
Speaker 4: you can accomplish in the off season if you're still
39:42
Speaker 4: looking to get Pee Watt under contract. Yeah, and I
39:45
Speaker 4: have no reason to believe that he wants to leave Denver, Colorado,
39:47
Speaker 4: so I think it would be an amicable deal should
39:50
Speaker 4: you have the bread to do it. That can get
39:52
Speaker 4: done later a smaller one. I dig what you're saying, well, tweaky,
39:56
Speaker 4: tweak here or there. Yeah to me, though, I'm gonna
39:59
Speaker 4: go back to what you said. I think number one
40:02
Speaker 4: is not only the most likely, it's the one that
40:05
Speaker 4: I like the best. And that's not do a dang thing,
40:08
Speaker 4: because I feel like Colleen, this is a big want
40:11
Speaker 4: and wish on my part. If you've got a fully
40:15
Speaker 4: healthy roster, I'm ready to take on anybody watching Stranger Things.
40:22
Speaker 3: My kid came home for Christmas from college. You gotta
40:25
Speaker 3: watch this now.
40:26
Speaker 4: They're fighting all these you know, these weird animals and
40:30
Speaker 4: guy with the looks like a skeleton type or whatever.
40:32
Speaker 3: That dude is all the grossness.
40:36
Speaker 4: But I would put the Nuggets against all them dudes
40:38
Speaker 4: and all them little animal things with the with the
40:40
Speaker 4: flower faces that bite me people. I would completely put
40:43
Speaker 4: the nuggets up against that.
40:46
Speaker 3: Yeah, that guy. Yeah, I have not watched the show.
40:50
Speaker 3: This is all foreign language to me. Yeah, it's okay.
40:53
Speaker 3: I I like their roster. I like the when it's healthy,
40:59
Speaker 3: when it's healthy. I love their roster. I love the makeup,
41:02
Speaker 3: I love the bench.
41:04
Speaker 4: I'm curious as to how the rotation's going to look
41:06
Speaker 4: like everybody else is, especially with the emergence of Peyton
41:09
Speaker 4: Watson being such a kick butt player and so on
41:12
Speaker 4: and so forth.
41:13
Speaker 3: But I really like what they got Brett, bring it on,
41:17
Speaker 3: Bring on everybody.
41:18
Speaker 4: Now.
41:18
Speaker 3: It may or may not work.
41:19
Speaker 4: I don't know, because other teams are really good, including
41:22
Speaker 4: obviously the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder.
41:25
Speaker 3: But you know what you get them in a seven
41:27
Speaker 3: game series. I like your chances with this roster big time.
41:30
Speaker 4: Well.
41:31
Speaker 3: Shap's reported this morning. I've just seen on the screen too,
41:34
Speaker 3: so I can't can't believe this. The Clippers are looking
41:37
Speaker 3: to offload James Harden now, and I don't know where
41:41
Speaker 3: James Harden would fit. It's rumored that Cleveland is interested
41:45
Speaker 3: in him. I really don't get it.
41:50
Speaker 4: Why would a number four team, who as we talk
41:53
Speaker 4: right this second, look at my face right now, me
41:57
Speaker 4: talking just you and I and Nelly and people, the
42:01
Speaker 4: number four team in the West, with home court advantage
42:04
Speaker 4: in the first round of the playoffs. Why would they
42:07
Speaker 4: trade James Harden. I'll tell you why. Because that guy
42:12
Speaker 4: is brain damage.
42:14
Speaker 3: Wait a minute. I mean they're three games below five
42:17
Speaker 3: hundred still, so where did you think they were or
42:22
Speaker 3: were they? They're way down? Oh they are? Yeah, they're
42:27
Speaker 3: the nine seed. That's what I meant. Yeah than nine,
42:31
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, they've had a really good run
42:33
Speaker 3: as of late. They've really turned their season around. They
42:35
Speaker 3: got it back to respect, that's what they got a
42:37
Speaker 3: long way to climb still, that's what That's what I meant.
42:39
Speaker 3: My bad, You're right, but they look I think they
42:42
Speaker 3: understand that that team's even with how they've played lately,
42:45
Speaker 3: they aren't going to win any championship with that roster.
42:50
Speaker 3: But it's just I mean, look the Calves they won them. Okay, fine,
42:54
Speaker 3: maybe in the East, if you just win the arms
42:56
Speaker 3: race and you just have the most talent, that can
42:58
Speaker 3: get you to come out of the East, because the
42:59
Speaker 3: East is very talented overall. I think he's I at
43:05
Speaker 3: thirty six years of age.
43:08
Speaker 4: Personally, I wouldn't want him on my team because I
43:10
Speaker 4: can't handle the way he plays the game.
43:13
Speaker 3: I can't watch that. I don't want to watch that.
43:16
Speaker 3: That's the thing you're handing. You're handing the keys over
43:18
Speaker 3: to that guy for your team because he handles the
43:20
Speaker 3: ball the majority of the time. He takes like twenty
43:24
Speaker 3: some shots a game.
43:25
Speaker 4: Do you remember, No, it doesn't even matter. It's like
43:30
Speaker 4: in hockey, some ways of winning can be effective, But
43:35
Speaker 4: boy is it awful to watch. I've walked out of
43:39
Speaker 4: rinks talking to Reker, going, dude, if I had, if
43:42
Speaker 4: I had season tickets to that team and I had to.
43:44
Speaker 3: Watch that every other night, I would lose it. Yeah,
43:48
Speaker 3: I couldn't. I just I can't handle that style. I
43:52
Speaker 3: can't handle the way James Harden plays the game. This
43:57
Speaker 3: is actually really interesting extra says, I saw a rumor
44:02
Speaker 3: that Kawhi is getting suspended and that is why they're
44:04
Speaker 3: looking to trade Harden. It's funny. Well, I don't know
44:06
Speaker 3: if that's true or not, but we all kind of
44:09
Speaker 3: thought the All Star Game is going to be at
44:11
Speaker 3: the Clippers new Arena. They have this aspiration story that
44:15
Speaker 3: Pabulatory dug up before the season even started. That just
44:18
Speaker 3: kept hanging around kind of quiet now though, isn't it.
44:21
Speaker 3: And everybody said, just watch after they do the All
44:24
Speaker 3: Star Game, they'll hand out the punishments because they don't
44:26
Speaker 3: want to going out before then.
44:29
Speaker 6: What if that is the case?
44:31
Speaker 3: All Star games right around the corner, they'll play that,
44:34
Speaker 3: get done with all the fun, and then they'll look
44:35
Speaker 3: at the Clippers and Quai and be like, yeah, that
44:37
Speaker 3: whole thing. By the way, it's true. You guys are
44:39
Speaker 3: screwed too.
44:42
Speaker 4: Oh and because this one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve.
44:50
Speaker 3: Do the Clippers had won like eighteen of twenty one
44:56
Speaker 3: basketball games. So they were insane.
44:59
Speaker 4: I mean they wouldn't They went nuts on everybody. Yeah,
45:03
Speaker 4: six game winning streak here, six game winning streak there,
45:07
Speaker 4: three game winning streak there. I mean, they they put
45:11
Speaker 4: together a boatload.
45:12
Speaker 3: Of wins.
45:15
Speaker 4: Since that Lakers game back on whatever it was, December twentieth. Yeah,
45:21
Speaker 4: so in the last month and a half, they've they've
45:24
Speaker 4: kind of run rough shot over teams, except but.
45:27
Speaker 3: They need to continue that pace or else they're except here,
45:30
Speaker 3: They're going to stay where they are, which is the
45:32
Speaker 3: nine seed. So three O three five oh four oh
45:36
Speaker 3: nine two five. Big still trying to get connected as
45:40
