But you know, it's beach now it's beach time the season's over so I figured I just go full beach
0:41
Mode. Yeah, I mean and us living in Minnesota
0:44
Beach is about the perfect thing. We're thinking about right now. I think we think about negative four outside right now
0:50
So yeah, the feels like is probably more less than that. Yeah. Yeah, it's gross. It's gross, but yeah
0:59
Yeah, whatever. So now we look forward to next season the vikes win in the division and the Super Bowl
1:03
And this is where we went in the Super Bowl next year. So fi

Anyway before we go any further obviously we just want to let you know this episode is brought to you by the cappy
1:52
This little nifty device look at on Facebook live right there
1:57
You just saw it right there in the camera can open your can and then you flip it around slide it back on the tab
2:04
Close it and then you can spin that thing background and now it's it's not sealed, right?
2:08
It's not gonna be air types, but it's gonna keep the mosquitoes out of it when you know elements out of it elements
2:13
Out of it elements, you know when you're at the bonfires this spring
2:17
We're doing what we're waiting for here around around these parts or even a little woodworking in the shop, you know
2:22
Cuz February is kind of a dead month. There's not much really going on
2:25
So we got all the way to about March 1st before really need a lot of woodworking
2:28
I mean you built the set I did I built the set he does do woodwork. I do I do now
2:32
I have a farm too. So like we're gonna get aggressive. I don't about that for pack. Well, there it is four pack right there
2:38
You can see it on both sides pick it up on Amazon
2:40
It's great little stocking stuff for a little gift, you know anyone that's talking stuff for Christmas 25
2:50
Okay, yeah Easter basket stocking stuff or basket stuff there do you what do you call those whatever these are bad?
2:57
Yeah, well one of the things you know, anyway with that cap. Let's head right into our
3:02
the became recap the Super Bowl recap
3:12
With that we all know we already all know we don't want to spend a ton of time on it
3:17
But you're here because you want to hear about our opinions
3:21
I guess I mean if you've been here this long all season
3:23
You probably want to hear what we have to say about the Super Bowl
3:25
But Eagles get in the wind 40 to 22 over the Chiefs
3:28
The script broke, you know, no three Pete for the Chiefs
3:33
It was over quickly it was
3:36
Quickly you know and it was one of those games
3:39
I think about the first quarter is really when I kind of started mentally
3:44
Checking out that this game is probably gonna be over to be honest
3:48
And the commercials there was nothing that really caught my eye. There was a couple funny ones
3:51
I thought that's what it's been for the past few years
3:53
Commercial Super Bowl commercials haven't been good since I've been in like middle school for you would be different
3:58
But for me it was most middle school. What does he think like they got too politically correct or they scared to like?
4:06
No
4:08
Kev's doing money which is fair which is true
4:11
Is that is that for for the commercials this year?
4:14
Yeah, but like Doritos and Budweiser then I mean those used to hold competitions. Yeah. Yeah
4:21
And you could submit your own videos and make your own commercial and stuff and they'd pick the fan commercials
4:25
Yeah, and then you always like the Budweiser frogs
4:27
I mean, that's a really old school, but like they just had a bunch of different so it was a frog bud why?
4:32
Oh, yeah, okay
4:35
Okay
4:37
Catch up with the daisies. Yeah, I guess I got a catch up. Okay
4:39
No, I agree with you nothing really intriguing and then the game was a complete blowout as we know 24 nothing at half
4:46
Yeah
4:47
Now I did I'll take this blame last week
4:51
I did say that the biggest thing would be to keep Saquon contained in between the tackles
4:57
And I would argue that the Chiefs defense I was like the only thing they did was kind of keep him contained
5:02
I mean he had under a hundred scrimmage yards
5:05
What's like three yards, but like he had under a hundred scrimmage yards, which I did not expect going into the Super Bowl
5:11
But he did have a stellar season carrying them more than a hundred
5:15
I mean he probably had top five top three running back
5:20
But a really interesting scenario. Where did he finish probably second?
5:24
What for yards and rushing yards in the season? Yeah, but I think his
5:30
dynamic ability to you know, catch the ball run the ball and
5:33
He's a game changer
5:35
You have to game plan for him
5:37
But do you remember that first drive when the Eagles went down there and ended up tush pushing?
5:41
I actually told one of the guys who were sitting there watching the game. I go what if this was
5:46
Barkley's only opportunity to score a touchdown and they tush push instead
5:50
I mean tush push, but he'd rather have the touchdown all day
5:53
But he never is he but it ended up playing out just like he didn't end up scoring a touchdown for sure
5:58
But I think he would just take the touchdown all day. No matter what. Oh, yeah
6:01
I think the Super Bowl victory, but I actually wanted to bring up the tush push again because what what again is the rule?
6:07
You can't
6:08
Grab the runner and actually physically push them in because that's exactly what happened
6:13
I think you could push you just can't pull
6:16
Is that what it is? Is that what the difference in the rule is? I don't know Facebook live if you're listening somebody jump in there
6:21
I know I think that might be right like you can't turn around and pull them in or whatever
6:24
Because I think that one time they did call it maybe that was a college game too though
6:28
Because I don't know if it was Goddard or whoever was behind them literally went up put two freaking big old meat hands
6:35
And then pushed them in like wait a minute. I thought the definition literally like you can't literally push them in but I
6:40
I can't remember but whatever but I mean if I had to get rid of anything it would be the assistance from the other players
6:49
Would be the rule change. Yeah because then it's just a quarterback sneak. But I'm also gonna give that you know
6:53
Jalen Earth squats 500 pounds too so
6:55
Oh no Jalen Earth is a beast
6:57
That guy's a dog too so a lot of that's all him
6:59
Hopefully his hate stops now you know a lot of people are gonna be like oh my god
7:03
He's got a lot of hate stops now you know a lot of people have been hating on him whatever
7:07
We've kind of just said all year that he does just enough to get by because that's all he needs to do
7:11
Yeah and again I mean he pretty much did it again you know he's done what he's done all year and it was you know
7:17
Good for him. I'm glad he got a Super Bowl he just doesn't turn over the ball that I mean that's I think the key factor for him
7:22
And then it I think a game like this one it's out of hand real quickly that
7:27
He didn't have to make a lot of tight throws and you know everything was pretty simple. He yeah
7:32
So that tush push was a second touchdown right are they getting all the first one first one?
7:36
How do you feel about that?
7:38
offensive pass interference
7:40
Early on that first drive on AJ. I actually threw that out in the Facebook to as a question
7:46
I thought it was pass interference on the offense especially hands to the head. Yeah, you know yeah, okay?
7:52
I was just curious how you felt. How did you feel I leaned more towards?
7:56
Let him play it out like don't get me wrong like you it's the it's the hand of the face like you said right like
8:01
There's somebody's like this you like that's annoying
8:03
you know and that's by definition hands to the hands to the faces you gonna call PI, but I
8:10
Like he never shoved or anything you know it just kind of worked its way up there
8:13
Which you know if that's the penalty you got all it right?
8:16
And then he caught a little the face bass turned his head, and I think that's what kind of made him trip
8:22
Like if they were hand fighting like the five yards prior to that then I maybe I'm like cool
8:27
Let him play it out sure, but there wasn't really a time. I'm fine. You know it was just the first contact really was AJ Brown to
8:36
Mcduffy you know so fair enough
8:38
But I mean that is slowly that was the one thing that Eagles did wrong all day
8:43
No, I know no for sure the one the one thing so there's that call right?
8:48
People had an issue with well chiefs fans had an issue
8:52
It's the no call on to Patrick Mahomes fumble, and he got clobbered well technically
8:57
After the fumble the ball's already out. Yeah, you know so by rule. It's the loose ball like yeah
9:02
He's he's fair game kind of you know I mean so that one unfortunately
9:06
But other than that those are kind of the only two calls that really stuck out massively that I've seen anyway that people were having
9:11
issue with so maybe did you feel like the rest maybe kept the
9:16
Flags in the pocket a little harder just because the controversy
9:19
And then when Travis Kelsey came out when the reporter goes hey if you had to ask us a question
9:24
What would it be be like you know why you guys talking about this ref stuff?
9:27
And then the refs Union I think came out and said
9:31
Some stuff you know like you know all 138
9:35
part-time refs
9:38
Would not do anything like that's against their integrity and everything they stand for so and that's another thing
9:44
You do take pride in that but yeah, that's a great question. We'll talk about that later, but why well why why is there not full-time?
9:51
I don't know that billion dollar companies can't afford
9:56
128 more employees I guess I mean I guess you know
10:01
So while we're still talking about the Eagles kind of in a way
10:04
Devante Smith to becomes the first Alabama player drafted to score touchdown
10:10
Really rushing or receiving obviously there's been some quarterbacks right?
10:14
Now I forgot both of their names awesome good job
10:17
Really long time ago way before my time probably before your time to probably back force gum played probably
10:25
But yeah first Alabama player drafted to score a touchdown in a Super Bowl
10:30
Specifically sorry I didn't finish the super okay, but we're talking about the Super Bowl. Yeah, that was implied, but
10:35
He is you know as a reminder. He's also won
10:38
You know a national championship in college a Heisman and now also a Super Bowl which I believe he may I don't know if he's only
10:45
Alabama player to do that
10:47
So that a Hall of Famer almost then by technique you know at Alabama. Yeah
10:52
Probably yeah at Alabama maybe yeah, that's if yeah
10:57
I want to look at a stat not if not if you just scored a touchdown in the Super Bowl right well
11:01
You're super on his way to having a pretty solid career already. You know you are a Super Bowl champion now
11:06
Yeah, so but I think in Alabama. That's a pretty you know you might might be Alabama Hall of Fame a Ring of Honor
11:12
Whatever they do down there. Is he the only one that's ever done that?
11:17
Tell us what's up? Nattie Heisman
11:20
There's no way he's the only one to ever do that well
11:22
I'm gonna how many there's a wall there's only probably only a 70 Heisman where so let's see because I put that
11:29
for a reason but
11:32
Maybe Kevin can look it up in the background while we're plugging away out anyway
11:37
So yeah anyway, I thought that was interesting tidbit, but other than that I mean
11:41
Other than that I mean
11:43
We kind of covered everything
11:45
The Eagles just dominated that front four. I mean I think I saw a stat
11:51
First time a Super Bowl winner has blitz zero times
11:55
Then yeah, they never had to you know and that's pretty much the story of that whole game when you can attack
12:02
an offensive for down lineman constantly and get
12:06
Consistent pro actually I would say more than consistent pressure in this last game again. Just dominant
12:11
I just dominant just Patrick Holmes was just
12:17
Eagles but it was so fun to watch such a dominant defense
12:20
Yeah, it was like I said the front four, but the front seven the old defense
12:24
I mean everybody was just on it so and Brandon Graham. I saw a plan
12:28
He did get his chance to play and we got a tackle even no
12:32
But Josh sweat had a great game. He did for agents both of those guys are free agents coming up Brandon great
12:40
Oh, that's right. I
12:41
Don't you think Brandon Graham leaves well actually Brandon Graham. I think has one more year, but I think
12:47
I mean, he's probably cuttables really at this point, but sweat is definitely
12:53
Up for a contract and then Zach Braun their linebacker. I was talking a couple of fans
13:01
That's a crazy pick Ian and Josh give you shout out like at first obviously the throw looked horrible right?
13:06
But when you slow it down, I mean my homes is kind of getting decked like in the hip
13:10
So he's I'm not trying to make an excuse for my homes
13:12
No, you know but like he is kind of getting hit from the side and kind of just I don't
13:17
He was throwing it at the ground, but brah made a great
13:20
He made a great catch and then you know Cooper Gina the pick six
13:24
I'm that whole back that side secondary is young other than Slay
13:28
I the core of the defense is young very young and they're the fourth youngest team in the NFL
13:35
So for the rest of us
13:37
cheering for different teams
13:39
The Eagles might be a problem and then I've also looked into their next year salary
13:44
They have just some older veteran cornerbacks that are due otherwise
13:49
The core of their team is all under contract
13:53
The next two years yeah, because they're all young they've drafted all this day are they've literally drafted all this talent
14:00
I mean what a load Jordan Davis is to six six three thirty six, but yeah
14:04
So the Eagles are gonna be a problem for a couple for a couple years going forward
14:08
I think so sure but on the other side of the ball or the other
14:13
Whatever you know I mean the Chiefs. Yeah that old line
14:17
Do we want Smith here?
14:19
I've seen some really interesting ex conversations about that you know like oh he didn't have a awesome Super Bowl
14:26
Maybe they'll be but fired up for next year
14:29
I'm like are you believe none of that old line had a good Super Bowl well true and then also it's you know
14:34
Like any video game you just you're guessing pass the whole time because they had to pass
14:39
So it's easy to pin your ears back and really get after them and then again not blitzing because you don't have to be
14:44
Because the D line was so dominant. It was just John Taylor was going backwards the whole game. So were the
14:50
What's their left tackles name?
14:52
Tony yeah, Tony Tony he was going backwards the whole game, too. I mean it was just it wasn't good
14:57
It wasn't a good luck for the and then they had uh who's that D tackle?
15:00
I heard our local football guy talking about maybe he's a free agent
15:07
Trying to think what the Chiefs is it the Chiefs or he's on well Williams
15:11
I think is his last name Milton William. Yes, that's that's the that's the Eagles. Yeah, the tackle
15:17
Yeah, yeah, I mean even so likes, but I mean he's a possibility
15:21
But also like you look at a staff or snap person
15:24
He's only plays about 50% of the snap defense snaps well, but you're gonna be splitting that between you got Jay
15:31
Jordan Davis, and doesn't Jalen Carter get down and detect yeah, Jalen Carter
15:36
You know so you you got it's just a gelato
15:39
I know so if he wants to play maybe he doesn't sign
15:43
And the Vikings need to absolutely go pick him up then yeah
15:46
I mean because Bullard and tiller you're both gone, which I didn't know or else will be free agents
15:50
I'm set to be so they need to help there not to go on a Vikings danger. We'll get to the Vikes
15:54
Don't worry. We'll get to the Vikes if you're Vikes fans stay on we got a question for you in a minute
16:01
But yeah, I don't really have much else to say about the Super Bowl
16:04
Just have to show your eye. It was it was it was solid. I thought the choreographed the visuals were cool
16:10
I mean, I don't know a ton of that music
16:12
I mean a little bit a couple of the songs, but it was pretty solid also shout out Xavier worthy that catch
16:18
Towards the end of the game. I mean yes, it was arguably garbage time at that point. I was good
16:22
I'm that was a great catch. It was a great catch. He has a bright future chiefs are getting a little older in the two
16:28
So it'll be interesting what Travis Kelly is doing
16:31
So it'll be interesting what Travis Kelsey decides to do. Um, I was kind of looking at they got some contract stuff, too
16:39
They got to worry. Yeah, they have I mean Bolton how many years did Chris Jones end up signing?
16:43
I think he's got at least one or two more left. He's not due for a while. He's a free agent at the moment
16:48
Bolton's a will be yep, and um
16:53
Because Bolton kind of holds that
16:55
That defense together. Yeah, but he has had a really dumb play that kind of uh,
17:00
Uh extended that drive on that personal foul on Saquon Barkley
17:04
early in that game, too
17:07
I think that's the one I made a note on
17:10
Uh late hit on Barkley in the second quarter. Yeah, it was early. Yeah. Yeah
17:15
uh
17:16
It was just an opportunity for the chiefs to get off the field and maybe get make start to make it a game of it
17:20
And then yeah, I think I wrote down that that one was questionable for me
17:24
So i'm trying to remember that one at the moment. It was like a tip pass on a little screen pass and
17:29
And it was it was Saquon still bobbling the ball when he got hit. No, no the ball was it was not near him
17:35
And it was I don't know it was like a half step too much
17:38
Usually I can remember all the plays I make notes on but that one like I made specific note on so I
17:43
I don't know. I can't remember that one. I guess but yeah, it was just like a little forearm or double hand shove and
17:50
But it was one of those that kept the drive alive. Yeah, you know, so
17:54
But yeah, uh chiefs kind of shooting themselves in the foot, but the eagles also playing outstanding
17:58
And carried by their defense and the offense just also answering
18:03
And taking advantage of every opportunity given to them. So oh, I did see another cool thing. I wanted to bring up
18:09
before the game
18:11
They had a jimmy johnson
18:14
Like ai tribute and it was kind of an ai version of jimmy johnson's a young guy
18:20
Like explaining his career and you know how he started playing football at arkansas
18:24
To and then then it was like all the people that he met along the way
18:28
I didn't know well a jimmy johnson won a natty as a player and his teammate was
18:35
Jerry jones
18:37
Really? Yes
18:38
So then when he started his coaching career
18:41
It was like louisiana tech and it's one of his first recruits that he was recruiting was mr
18:46
quarterback for the pittsburgh steelers that won a couple super bowls
18:51
Yes, sir
18:53
Oh, so and then when jerry ended up after
18:56
Oh another fun set was you know doug flutie's hail marion the famous one
19:00
That was against um
19:04
Johnson jimmy johnson. Oh that I didn't so they lost that the that natty that year
19:09
But then they end up winning one. What year was that again? Was it? I was like 86
19:14
Probably is that hail mary's on in that? Yeah. Yeah
19:17
Yeah, but then when jerry bought the team jimmy was the first guy he called and the rest is kind of history
19:24
Yeah, for sure for sure. So check that out. It's probably somewhere on youtube other stats. Whatever average
19:30
Record for us viewers was a hundred and twenty seven point seven million. It's a lot of people uh, nevada sportsbooks
19:39
Made twenty two point one million
19:42
I feel like that's a little lower. Yeah, it's a little low. Was there any like comparing numbers to that?
19:47
All right, just like saw whatever that was via espn. So thanks espn. I stole that one from you. Okay
19:53
Uh anyway, that's all I have about the super bowl
19:57
Eagles, uh, do you think they get back next year? I think they have absolutely an opportunity. Yeah, I mean that's
20:03
Braun they need braun if they sign him
20:06
Um, they lose both d tackles. I mean they were possibly sweat and probably graham and then
20:13
it's whether
20:15
They need another offensive lineman. I know i was talking to my eagles buddies like lane johnson's getting a little old
20:21
But and then they're losing beckham, uh, they're gone. Yeah, so he's a free agent and
20:26
Like the word on the street is they're probably not going to sign him again because he's only 26 and he's won a
20:32
a big contract, but even though the eagles are in the middle of
20:36
The pack and salary cap. So sure sure so they got a little bit of money to play with
20:41
Well, so we'll see what the answer is. Yes, I mean I agree with you
20:44
I think i'm trying to think of who else could come out of the nfc. I mean washington the look of washington team's gonna change a little bit
20:51
They're losing some free agents. Uh, the lions got just gotta get over that hump
20:55
You know, uh, I don't think they're losing anybody huge the lions they need to sign
21:01
Davis the cornerback is one and then probably saw some more depth in that d line because obviously when hutchinson went out
21:07
It was different. You saw the difference a little bit. So is that a spot for max crosby?
21:12
I don't think they can afford him. Yeah, I don't think they can afford is he free actually free. No, it's not free
21:17
Yeah, all the rumors always about him being traded but miles garrett is wanting to be traded, but they don't they can't pay him
21:24
I'm in both of them are probably gonna demand at least two first round picks and you know, and then you got miles garrett. He's 30
21:31
Uh, he's got two years left on his contract about average about 17 million
21:35
And then crosby's 28 and his salary for that. He has two years left on his is like about 26 million
21:41
Why do I know all this?
21:43
Because you're just looking at salaries
21:46
So that makes sense what about on the afc side
21:49
Personally, I don't think the chiefs will make it back to the super bowl for the fourth year in a row
21:54
I think that'll finally be the bills or the ravens time to uh
21:59
Get back but get back into the big game
22:01
I mean out of those teams you just named I think the ravens are gonna be a little bit free agent
22:07
You know, they're I think left tackles up
22:10
Their defense was just up and down defense
22:13
They got a couple guys that are going to be free agents
22:16
So they're gonna have some holes to fill if pittsburgh could figure out a quarterback
22:22
Well, true, maybe add a receiver
22:24
They do need another
22:26
Find the next running back
22:28
Or the other side find a difference find the new next running back. I like the vibe on pickens is in in pittsburgh
22:35
Do they love him or are they kind of like that? I feel like they like him but
22:40
Haroon, he said something late in the season. He's got a little bit or something. Yeah, you know, I thought yeah
22:46
I think I remember seeing some I thought he said something but it would have been like late in the season
22:50
But I think like in general they like pickens there. He's a big he's a player with big playability. Yeah, you know, so
22:56
The bills are pretty good. Yeah, the bills are pretty good. I mean they could use definitely another weapon. Um
23:01
Other you know other than colman and shakir
23:04
Um, the titans probably need to step up a little bit if cleveland got their quarterback situation figured out
23:10
Would they be a quick flip? You know, could they get a wild card?
23:14
I mean every year you get one or two teams that are in the top 10 that make the playoffs. So
23:19
I mean, yeah, if they pick up, you know, what if erin rodgers went there suddenly?
23:23
But they also need a couple receivers. Aaron Rodgers is favored to go to the purple
23:28
Is he? Well, there's rumors circulating to to fulfill actually
23:32
I think it was ben that put it this way to fulfill the prophecy. He has to come to the purple but uh,
23:39
But to be honest if the vikings were looking for a veteran
23:43
uh, erin rodgers comes to mind obviously maybe but also so does uh
23:47
Uh, russell wilson. He was favored by vegas to come to minnesota last year. I don't see why he wouldn't be again
23:53
Because the vikings are in a very similar situation with jj mccarthy coming off injury now
23:58
Still in an unknown like he was last year as a rookie, you know, um arguably though. This would be a good time to just
24:05
We're not expecting the vikings. I bet vegas gives the vikings seven wins next year. I think it's going to be another
24:11
You know another expected. Yeah, oh 100
24:14
100 what are they what have they changed this year? Nothing. What are they going to change next year?
24:19
I don't know. They have money, but they got holes to fill. They had a lot of holes, you know, and their schedule is
24:25
Brutal looks not very nice, you know, uh, and who knows who's starting a quarterback right now or running back. Aaron jones is gone
24:32
Maybe maybe he comes back for a cheaper deal or one another one-year deal
24:35
Who knows the secondary is torn apart harrison smith could retire. Yep, cameron bynum might be the only
24:41
Only one left in our secondary and mattelis. No, but by them's not free agent too cameron bynum is all you're right
24:47
Yeah, he is. So the only one I think we really have signed is
24:51
Blackman, I think mattelis is signed too as a linebacker. He's like that man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, i'll give you that
24:57
I'll give you that the hybrid version. Yeah, and we only have three draft but tell us could play strong safety, but
25:03
Like he again he works in flora's defense because he can he's his rover player like yeah
25:08
Yeah, call him and you can put him around wherever well, they call it like a strong nickel. I mean there is a rover
25:13
There's a rover. Yeah, you know, I'd like that
25:15
Um, but anyway, we can talk about vikings in a little bit
25:18
But yeah, anyway, because we're still on the super bowl. So yeah, that's well, we're gonna be there next year
25:23
So that's it at the super bowl. Yeah, we're gonna be at the super bowl
25:27
Oh sweet, uh one of these years right kev's rob's paying to have all of us go to the super bowl next year
25:33
Is what I heard so put that on the ticker. Yeah with that. Yeah with that kev
25:38
Let's head right into our tent talk
25:42
911 what's your emergency?
25:51
And to start
25:53
To start off our tent talk, um injuries like we normally do
25:57
I don't think there is anything so I just put the chief's o lines feelings are probably pretty injured very yeah
26:04
Uh, so maybe taylor swifts and definitely travis kelsey's. Yeah, does he come back next year?
26:12
No, i'm gonna say no you don't think so i'm gonna say that was it
26:17
God maybe i'll run it back one more time
26:20
Really? Yeah, I think it depends on him and how his body feels. He was healthy all year
26:25
you know, well
26:27
Kind of I think he started banged up and he didn't really get going for a minute
26:30
Yeah, but which obviously was really interesting about travis kelsey in this game
26:34
I thought where we talked about I thought he'd go over 100 yards
26:37
Well, because he he's really successful against zone defense and the eagles run a ton of zone, but they
26:43
He won't let's be real my homes didn't have time to do much fair
26:47
He always like before he even got to the back of his drop. He had to already be looking for an escape route
26:53
Yeah, you know
26:54
so uh
26:56
They need number one receiver too, but they could use a really use a true number one receiver because xavier worthy should be kind of that
27:03
I keep comparing them to debo. Yes. I know debos different but bigger frame all that, you know, but which we'll get to debo
27:09
um
27:10
But I agree with you. They need that number one receiver could is cooper cup enough
27:16
No enough of a receiver to be one in kansas city. No, would he be an upgrade?
27:21
I mean, he'd be an upgrade over dhop right now. I'd imagine. Oh, yeah juju, you know, but
27:25
Um, he would definitely be an upgrade in that aspect, but he's still not a true number one. That's in demand
27:33
number one cornerback
27:34
attention
27:36
So you were looking up money. Yes, do does kansas city have enough money to go get t higgins?
27:44
Um
27:46
I mean there's there's arguably earned a chance to be somebody's number one and he's a big he's the biggest free agent
27:53
Probably this season at the moment. Of course my computer logged out so I can perfect, you know exactly how that works
27:59
Um, I feel like they were in the middle of the road
28:03
ish
28:04
So maybe
28:06
But I mean I was looking try the t he's probably gonna get
28:10
25 million is kind of his projected
28:14
Uh yearly, um, which the chiefs do have a couple of guys. They got to resign. They probably don't resign smith, you know
28:21
right now I feel like he's gonna go to like
28:24
Jacksonville or I also could see carolina
28:27
And washington has a ton of money that'd be there's a good chance he could end up in washington. I don't know
28:33
I mean scary terry is is would new england be a spot where you'd want to go yet?
28:41
You know, I don't I feel like that team has so many holes
28:45
so
28:47
I don't know. I think it would add a lot to their offense though
28:53
I think he could I think he would excel in washington. I like that over jacksonville. I think he'll sell anywhere as he goes but
29:02
I mean he's he's a true number one receiver in the nfl
29:06
so
29:08
Well, there's a lot of places kansas city needs a true number one. So
29:12
We'll see uh graham. Let us know does kansas city
29:15
Do you want to try to acquire t higgins? Um
29:19
Let's see. Uh, just a couple little things
29:22
Rogers and jets most likely splitting up on our rogers watch if you will
29:27
So I did see that a little bit of a mutual thing
29:31
Cj mosley
29:32
Their jet's linebacker did come out and say something along the lines. Um
29:37
What was it that he shouldn't leave new york with his head down, you know, but it wasn't all bad. So
29:42
So maybe he'll just maybe but maybe he'll just go to the giants. Maybe he'll just ride off in the sunset
29:48
That's out. He can't go out like that
29:50
My niners buddy wants him to go to sam fran
29:53
Oh now that's interesting. I didn't think about that. Give it a run
29:57
But then you're like, what do you do with brock purdy, you know?
30:00
Yeah, you're not gonna be an awkward spot. Hey brock. We gotta have you sit for your buddy
30:04
Yeah, we're gonna sign you do a big deal. We got to sit. Yeah, and then we're gonna bring in a rod
30:08
This is only your fourth year in the nfl bus. So just take a seat. That would be awkward
30:13
If you're brock you'd like not no, that's not gonna happen
30:17
But it would be a good fit though. But rogers technically is under contract, right? So the jets have to cut him
30:22
I don't think so
30:23
I thought he only signed a two-year deal or the probably a team option third. Yeah, maybe
30:28
You're right, but I think he's a legitimate free agent because march 1st is the big day when I think when rosters
30:35
players
30:37
Like bonus march 10th, you said keeps coming mark 10th somewhere in there. It's early march. Yeah early march
30:42
So that'll be our first big movement of players in the nfl or maybe not quite moving jets awful also apparently told rogers that
30:51
Uh, he can't really appear on the pat mcafee show or something. Yeah, they did it. Yeah, so
30:57
That's like now you're telling the guy how to live his life. He's not gonna it's erin rogers
31:01
He's gonna have enough ego to be like, nah, i'm not doing that
31:03
Okay, so all right. Well, uh, okay. Here's one erin rogers to steelers
31:09
Wouldn't be a horrible fit. But again weapons
31:13
Yep
31:14
George pickens and friomuth. Yeah, that's it
31:17
And two running backs that aren't really number one running backs. No, I like jalen warren. I like him but you know
31:25
Um and with nage, but you know, is he a true they're not bringing him back. I think he's a free agent
31:30
Yeah, I think not nage. He's gone but
31:32
Uh, is warren taking the 20 25, you know
31:36
carries slash
31:38
I don't think he can handle it all season. That's what i'm saying
31:41
So you do need another bag to kind of split that watch naji. Sorry. I was listening to you
31:45
But then also my mind's like uh, naji's gonna end up in minnesota
31:49
He could I know which I don't mind if we could also i'm okay with it
31:54
If we can resign erin jones to one more year, there's one more year one more for a cheap deal
31:59
So that'd be our thunder line full deal because he played well for us when he was healthy and split the carry
32:05
So hopefully we get erin jones all season and then you get the power with naji maybe. Yeah, I don't know
32:11
That was awkward. I should not do that ever again. I mean erin jones's
32:14
Last few games you could tell that you know, he was
32:18
He was banged up and gas and gas for the end of the but he's a little bit different when he's healthy
32:22
He's dead. Yes, you know, so yeah, he's not saquon, but he's different. I mean if he gave us 10 to 15, you know
32:28
you know
32:29
snaps or not snaps I keep saying snaps like these but like
32:33
Um touches that's the word i'm looking for. Um, he could handle that but I take not naji
32:38
The one thing nice about naji doesn't fumble. He fumbled for his first time in his career
32:43
Which is true, which is crazy like last I think we even brought it up
32:46
When he did and we were like no, that's not right and then we looked and I was like no, that's true
32:51
No, it was right. Yeah, so I was the one that's true and we do need you are good job. We do need ball security here
32:57
You know well, yes, because I think we have a lot of bad taste in our mouth from madison when he became our featured back
33:03
And he started turning the ball over, you know, so I was really gung-ho on him. Anyway, um
33:10
But yeah, I mean he'd be a nice fit. We need a running back if we were with only three draft picks
33:15
um
33:17
And there are some running backs available that I do like in the draft. Oh, yeah, they should look at this
33:23
This is a we'll have a draft show deep nfl running back draft this year. So for sure
33:28
Uh, sorry that we've sidebarred on the vikings again again on an aaron rodgers news bit
33:33
So uh moving on to the next news bit. Don't worry. There's more vikings to come probably
33:38
Uh, debil samuel gets permission to find a trade. I'll take him with the vikings
33:45
How does that work though, you know find you know seeks
33:47
His grants gets granted permission to find a trade like for a player like I don't understand when they word it that way
33:54
Like the player's agent is now calling around the team. Yes, because I don't think you can do that. Otherwise, I think that's against
34:01
Yeah, it's just so weird though to have them shop themselves kind of you know and go find somewhere to go
34:07
Well, I think it's the same thing barkley did last year
34:09
They they said hey because they I think the heat well the the giants had a team option
34:14
So they could have signed him or matched whoever you know offered last year, right? So that's kind of the same scenario
34:22
um
34:24
So they just say they probably said go
34:28
Get the market value so we know what your market value is. I mean which is
34:33
God, I think we brought that up early in the season about somebody else, too
34:38
I can't remember but I mean that's what they did to barkley they're like
34:41
of do you see debo and like
34:43
Okay, I don't know where they are money wise though. Oh the 49ers. They're they're hurting. No, no, no, not in the niners
34:48
I know they're hurting. I know they're hurting i'm talking what about houston
34:52
Um, I think they're okay. What a debo work in houston. They do need another receiver
34:57
Bad receiver and you can run them out of the backfield
35:01
You know if when joe mixon goes down, you know, they need a tackle too
35:05
I'm just trying to think where a good good spot that debo could land i'd imagine he wants to play for somebody who could potentially contend
35:11
Houston would be a great spot for them
35:13
Like I honestly houston right now this part of the season is I feel like my early
35:20
dark horse for making the afc championship next year
35:23
Fair enough to make the championship to make the championship fair enough. I just think they have the squad
35:28
They're slowly building it. They've shown thing like different things this year. I think they've
35:33
They felt better last year to me
35:35
When they've lost when they got smoked by the vikes in the second week of the season. Yeah, it's early
35:41
But that was a huge surprise me. I didn't have to mix any of that day, which was a big deal
35:46
But they still lost 35 nothing or whatever it was
35:49
It was ridiculous. Um, but I mean they're set up
35:52
They're kind of set up to win right now and you know, I don't know exactly what their draft pick scenario is
35:58
but if they can pick up a
36:00
If they can pick up a a two to play with nico and then you I don't know. Um
36:06
Who's the guy?
36:08
Devo could do uh, was that tank del tank del which you can't count on him coming back exactly, you know, so
36:16
And then a tackle and then defensively they were pretty I mean now everyone could always use another
36:21
Cornerback or a secondary guy, but I don't see I don't see like t hagen's going to the texans
36:25
So I don't know if he would go there. No because he already have nico collins. So like he that you need you need the
36:31
You need his um
36:34
Not back up, I don't know what i'm trying to
36:37
His batman to his robin. Yeah. Yeah his robin to his batman. But yeah, you know what i'm trying to say
36:42
There's a word for it. I don't know why i'm blanking on it, but I feel like d would be a better fit than
36:47
T higgins t higgins wants to be I mean he doesn't want to be the one so he's the one to see the most targets
36:52
And if he goes to houston, I don't think he's gonna see the most targets
36:57
You know or sharram and then he's back in the same scenario as in cincy
37:02
Yeah, for sure for sure
37:04
Uh, I mean if digs is healthy enough they could bring him back, but you can't count on that either
37:09
You know digs is getting up there in age as well to come back from an injury
37:13
So and who knows what he did to that locker room? Yeah, you know, maybe debos to play
37:17
You know, maybe they really do need to go get them trade one diva. Uh, there's rumors that uh
37:23
That ayuk could also be even after signing that deal last year that ayuk could be on the move because of money
37:29
Yeah, you know, so who knows, you know, uh ayuk could be a guy for me
37:34
That could end up again money. I don't know
37:38
But sanfran might have to eat some of it for him to go to like somewhere like buffalo or something
37:42
That could use another receiver
37:44
But they're almost
37:46
They need some pieces too. Yeah, I mean I see debo
37:50
Definitely getting traded. I think before ayuk
37:53
For sure. I mean already granting him permission. He's just gone at this point. It's just a matter of finding the suitor
37:59
Yeah, and sanfrancisco needs to get younger. You know for sure
38:04
And cheaper
38:05
Especially it all depends what they do with brock brock is that one scenario like what are they going to sign them to 40 million dollars?
38:12
I mean that changes their whole salary cap and the rest of their view of their team, you know
38:17
um
38:18
And I did san francisco's would you would you say san francisco's window has passed?
38:23
No, yeah
38:25
Yeah, and now with all the contract stuff. I 100 think their windows passed. Who else would you say a team?
38:31
The their window would you say baltimore?
38:36
I don't know
38:36
I'm somehow still holding out hope for baltimore and i'm not a baltimore fan or anything and I don't have any good
38:41
information to go off on that
38:45
Or would you say the lions I I was just about to bring up the lions it's not closed
38:50
Like I said, the lions are the favorite for me to win nfc north next year 100
38:55
But like the packers are in a weird place. They're in trouble. Uh, the vikings are
39:01
Clearly rebuilding and just got lucky last year in my opinion
39:04
Uh skull vikes, uh, we're winning the super bowl next year though. Same thing. Do you think the packers need a number one receiver?
39:09
two
39:11
You don't think they have one right now. No. All right. They got a bunch of twos and yeah
39:15
I think they got I think christian watson started showing up. I think he's
39:20
Redeemed himself for me to become a 2a receiver, you know still at the I don't think the one that i'm talking about
39:27
I don't even think he's a 1b for me. Like I don't think he's got it's just jalen reed probably
39:31
Played no, I like reed. I like all their young receivers, but jalen reed to me is as good as nailer is for the vikings
39:39
You know what I mean? So I gotcha. I like don tavian wakes. I would say reeds better than nailer
39:43
But I like I like don tavian i would agree but I like don tavian you play the same role though
39:47
Yeah, I gotcha, but I like don tavian wicks
39:50
Um, they got two tight ends craft and uh, and romeo dobbs too and they oh, yeah. Okay romeo dobbs
39:56
I think he's either close to the true one. He's also a 2a for me, but
40:04
But does he have breakaway speed?
40:07
I arguably I don't know if
40:09
I don't know. I don't know. I mean because that's usually what you where they have money wise
40:13
Oh, I think they're middle of the road middle of the road middle pack
40:19
See, I think the package will do something goofy and go like go get deandre hopkins or something
40:23
You know what I mean? Like which who I also see could or I'll go back to texans
40:28
But see it but that would be a good move for the packers
40:31
I think chris godwin because I think we were talking last week. We had higgins
40:36
cup
40:37
godwin
40:39
marie cooper
40:40
Kind of the d hop d hop kind of that or digs. I'd say digs is higher than d hop probably are your top five receivers
40:47
I forget a marie cooper's out there. I still like a marie cooper. He's sneaky
40:50
I think amari cooper and like washington would be
40:54
I can see him going washington a like a veteran. He wants to go probably a winning team
40:58
Well for sure, you know at this point in his career. All those receivers we just listed probably want to go to a
41:02
Some sort of a winning team rather than chasing the money. Oh, higgins chasing money
41:06
Well, he should yeah, he needs to get paid
41:08
He needs to get that fat that fat payday and then after that maybe he'll be
41:13
Godwin would be the interesting one. I think he's that in between. I think he he wants to get paid to
41:18
and least go to a
41:20
Contending team. I don't think he's a playoff team. Yeah
41:23
Yeah, like I could see I could see him in houston. He'd be great in houston great slot receiver
41:30
To go on the same side of nico collins take dig spot. Yes. Yeah. Yeah, I think he would be a uh,
41:37
But the same thing he can't stay healthy. Yeah, that's as tough as part. So
41:42
What like you always say best abilities availability. Yes, sir
41:45
I actually think bud graham actually said that but i'll take it. Well, cool. Rob banter with the boys
41:52
Uh, let's see coaching real quick before we just we just want to touch on the awards because there's just some funny things that
41:58
Just make me giggle as a vikings fan that I want to share with everybody
42:03
Uh, but anyway, tell me uh, yeah, I will don't worry. Uh, kellen moore though takes the saints head coaching job
42:08
We knew that was gonna happen. Congratulations. After the super bowl happened. Um
42:12
Um, yeah, good luck. Maybe maybe that's a good combination though him and derrick car
42:17
No, I don't know that team's there. They're in trouble. They're
42:22
They're old derrick car salaried this year's ridiculous one million dollars
42:27
He's not worth one million the 15th best quarterback and then yeah, it's not
42:32
Kirk cousins is gonna be available. No, i'm just kidding. That is true. I could put kirk cousins on any team in the league
42:37
And other than like the you know, the big boys the chiefs baltimore and you know bills all the ones
42:42
I already have the quarterbacks taken kirk needs to go somewhere with a running back
42:46
A decent running back. He was just there. He was just there
42:51
He had bijan and then and then and then the wheels fell off for him. He just started throwing picks and seeing ghosts
42:57
True, you know he's done kirk. Nah, I think he gets one more deal
43:02
It's gonna be somewhere like I was just thinking today where he could go
43:05
I think it's gonna be somewhere like cleveland
43:08
Um who really doesn't know what they're going to be doing at quarterback. Uh, I don't think the answer is jamis
43:14
I love jamis, but I don't think they're gonna bring him back
43:17
I don't think they want to roll with dtr, you know, so I think it's gonna
43:21
Could be kirk cousins who was already rumored to get traded there at some point
43:25
Um gosh, there's one other team. I thought about today too
43:29
for kirk
43:30
for uh
43:31
for kirk
43:33
Um, let me just think real quick. Any of the new york teams?
43:37
Mm. Nah, I mean they both need one
43:41
No, oh it was vegas. I thought about vegas. Vegas also needs a quarterback
43:45
That's right. I think vegas will draft one
43:47
But do they bring in kirk and then does kirk lose his job again to a rookie two years in a row?
43:53
You know, I don't think vegas is having unless they move up in the draft
43:56
I don't think they're having an opportunity at a quarterback actually. Where are they at? Six
44:01
well
44:02
So, but you don't know who's gonna fall like I think there's gonna be a fall who's sador is the only one that's gonna fall if anybody
44:09
That's who i'm thinking is gonna fall. Okay, I think that's who vegas wants though. Okay, I think they like that fit
44:15
Where do you think sam goes if he had to pick a team right now?
44:19
There'd be another like for aaron rogers. Like you said, I think san francisco would be a perfect pick for sam darnold
44:24
But I that again with the brock purdy thing. I don't think it's realistic. I think vegas i'm feeling vegas
44:29
You think vegas see i'm thinking like I think he goes back to new york, but in a giant's uniform. It's that
44:36
Or you and he back to new york, but in giants, you know, but what if?
44:41
Who's the head coach? That'd be crazy. Who's the head coach now in vegas?
44:45
Pete carroll, who's his old quarterback?
44:49
Well russell wilson, so we thought I thought about that today too, but I was like do they want that reunion p carroll and russell wilson
44:56
Yeah, maybe they had a divorce. That's what I mean. I can't remember how that went down
45:00
So like somebody else brought that up in my chat today
45:04
Uh, and I was like, I don't know
45:06
I thought about it, you know, there's a lot of interesting ways that stuff could go. I don't know
45:11
Uh, I know he's not gonna be in pittsburgh
45:15
allegedly, so
45:17
Uh, let's see. Uh, the other thing I just want to mention quick
45:20
Let's see
45:22
Not quick. We can touch on dings
45:24
mvp josh allen, whatever I that was a crapshoot. There was a couple options
45:28
I really think you could have made an argument for either lamar or him. Yeah
45:33
Uh, this one seems or barkley actually barkley. I know that's what I mean. Uh, so I don't know
45:41
You're right with any three any of the three. Yeah, you know, so uh coach of the year
45:47
Koc scott lebow we knew that um
45:51
Um lions fans are extremely upset about this d angelo. Are you upset about this d angelo? Are you upset about this?
45:58
I hope he's lit either watching facebook live youtube or listening on spotify who went last year
46:05
Oh
46:06
Dan quinn no
46:09
Not dan quinn that doesn't kevin's on it out there I can hear him clucking the ivory but people are upset
46:16
uh
46:18
Let's see kevin savanski. That's right for the for the browns
46:24
That's weird now he's on 2022 brian dable, okay, so and he's on the hot seat like oh great. This is a bad trend
46:33
My cradle got fired and he was 21
46:37
This is not good. I don't know if we want to keep going back. Oh my god. Oh not good
46:41
Good. How do you how do you want to as a viking? There's no way. Oh john harbaugh. Yeah, see
46:48
Yeah, he's still there. All right, matt nagy
46:50
So, okay, okay, so we not not a good track record for coach of the year
46:55
But anyway lions fans are upset because they they think because that was the best record in lions franchise history
47:02
And you know everything they dealt with which don't be wrong. They dealt with some injuries too
47:06
Uh that dc dan campbell should be coach of the year blah blah blah
47:10
uh my argument to that is
47:13
You guys did everything that was expected of yourself. That's the thing
47:16
Other than keep winning in the playoffs true. Um
47:20
You know now 15 and 2 is crazy. I don't think that was expected of them
47:23
I don't know what they were favored to win, but probably at least 13 plus, you know 14 plus even uh
47:29
but
47:30
Like what koc was able to do with sam donald is remarkable. Uh, I don't know if sam donald will repeat next year
47:37
So so and the vikings were slated to win six games. Yeah and won 14
47:42
And we're in it at the end of the season to win the division and get the one seat
47:47
Did they get it? No, of course not. So again, that's another argument towards dan campbell for sure
47:52
But like winning that big game at the end of the season
47:54
But like you're saying it the lions were expected to a win the division
47:59
In which they did
48:01
There's an argument i'll give an argument for campbell that you know you could
48:05
You know you could
48:07
Say that he was a close 1a or 1b to that about like a guy like dan quinn
48:12
Well, that's what I was also what they just made the wild card too
48:15
So they were the nine and ten and seven I think they were sure taking a rookie quarterback to agree
48:20
Which is a testament to cliff kingsbury too, but and obviously jay didn't know daniel's being the second worst team last year, right? So
48:28
Yeah, like I did. Yeah, i'd almost go dan quinn actually if I if I had a vote i'd almost go him over dan campbell
48:34
I still like the argument for koc. I agree just because we weren't expected to do it
48:38
I also like the argument for sam darnold for comeback play of the year, which we'll touch on in a second. Okay
48:43
but
48:44
So there's that
48:46
It's kind of like the mvp. You can make an argument. I think between a couple guys
48:50
There's always going to be a couple that are close but for comeback player of the year joe burrow
48:56
Getting it. Um
48:58
I thought sam darnold could have made an argument for for that. I don't know
49:01
I don't know who the finalists were I should have probably figured that out
49:05
But yeah, but how do you like jk. Dobbins?
49:08
Uh who actually got second?
49:10
Who did have a good season for the chargers?
49:12
He did but until it's the year out and then the playoffs it wasn't good
49:16
Sam darnold got there damar hamlin again who did actually play a lot more this season for the bills
49:21
We did you know everybody last year was like no you can't go yet
49:25
He died but like he didn't play blah blah blah special teams only while he was playing yeah this year
49:30
So I I like that argument this year and then christian free agent and then christian gonzalez
49:35
I think he's a corner for pet the new england patriots. Yep
49:39
um
49:40
Must not uh, I wonder if he got injured last year. I can't remember but so we must I don't hate joe burrow over
49:47
You know what I mean?
49:50
And it's more fun named up give joe burrow award. Yeah. Well, I watch out for the bangles
49:55
Uh, you calling it right now. I don't know about afc championship game, but I think they're back to the playoffs
50:01
I think they're gonna be tough. Okay, the way they ended they're gonna ride that high for sure
50:05
And I don't think they're losing a ton. No, I want you know, I think
50:10
They even have a look. I think they're gonna be are they a middle of the road team on the salary stuff?
50:14
Do you remember i think they're in the top third?
50:17
Okay. Yeah, so I think they could make some moves even losing t higgins, you know
50:21
Make some smaller moves kind of like what the vikes did bang ginkle the cashmans stuff like that. You know, it was a bigger one but
50:29
um
50:30
Let's see ovens player of the year sae kwon
50:33
Lamar jackson jamar chase derrick henry joe burrow. I don't think that's an argument right there
50:39
We all knew that would happen defense a player of the year patrick certain
50:43
Who is the nfc?
50:45
Um, gernard van winkle van dingle
50:52
Bang ginkle
50:55
Let's see
50:56
Do you have it player that that was just because we were debating that was just overall defensive player of the year
51:01
Oh, maybe they don't have an nfc afici who we were talking about earlier this year
51:06
uh offensive record here jayden daniels
51:08
I think defense of well, we were talking about defensive player of the year just because mainly all the
51:13
Uh nfc defensive players that are all the studs got hurt right, you know hutch got hurt literally. Um
51:20
They were all the finalists were all afici. Okay, uh
51:24
offensive rick of the year jayden daniels the only
51:27
So i've seen some people upset that bow next day and get the nod there. But come on meow. Yeah, I know
51:33
Uh defensive rookie of the year jared verse
51:36
That dude was a monster. He was a beast old seminal right there florida state
51:39
um, let's see
51:43
The moment of the year if you will
51:46
What's the moment of the year jayden daniels came winning hail mary thrill versus the bears?
51:51
Was that when the bears db was?
51:54
Looking in the field. Yeah
51:56
And then he runs over and tips it to the guy tips it. Oh my god
51:59
And then they didn't win a game the rest of the year
52:02
Well, I was I always loved this one walter payton nfl man of the year eric armstead jaguars d limon
52:07
Yeah, I did see they get I think they gifted him that at the super bowl
52:10
Uh, and they also mentioned these fellas the hall of fame class 2025 eric allen jared allen antonio gait sterling sharp
52:20
and
52:21
That's the only four on the list. Oh, there's no jared. Oh, you're dead. Yeah jared allen. I said i'm after eric allen
52:27
I did it fast. Yeah, but yeah jared allen
52:29
I was trying to think they were talking about who's got snubbed out of that
52:34
um
52:36
List I can there was one main one that kind of yeah one. Yeah
52:42
Uh, I guess I researched everything else besides that today
52:46
Yeah, whatever lots of awards all good
52:52
But it was overall great season it was fun there was a lot of you know top end teams
52:58
um
53:00
That did what they were supposed to do there was a couple surprises redskins or the commanders. That's probably the five fifth time
53:07
I said that this year. Oh, well, um
53:10
Who also has a surprise team you thought for?
53:12
This year's prize team this year the chargers vikings obviously the vikings the chargers
53:18
Was more of a surprise that they bounced back so fast
53:20
But let's see if they can build on any of that denver see if jk. Dobbins that was a surprise
53:26
um
53:27
Because the best especially with bow nix and sean payton didn't look like they're clicking early on in the season
53:32
Yeah, but then they must have figured it out because then all of a sudden he was lighting it up
53:35
So that kind of concerns me. Uh, we've seen sean payton with a good quarterback before so
53:41
um
53:42
Denver needs a running back
53:44
They do I think there's a lot of teams that are going to draft run
53:46
I think again this season like we've stated all year the derrick henry the sequon barkley watching the college genti
53:53
You know running backs are back and we'll i'm curious how many get drafted in the first two rounds
53:58
Well, look at the four teams that remained in this, you know to go to the super bowl. You had the bills james cook. Yeah
54:05
ravens henry
54:07
eagles barkley
54:09
And then you got the chiefs and I mean I wouldn't say pacheco is a let's say pacheco
54:14
Comboed with cream hunt because cream started coming on strong late, but still what's still they all had come they all had
54:21
a probable level running backs
54:25
You know, so it's kind of interesting. We've been talking about all year. This is like the the return of the running backs
54:30
Okay, so before we end this show then vikings. This is our viking stock. So if you're not vikings fan, whatever I guess whatever
54:37
Uh dom says
54:40
Yo, yo fellas, what up dom. Hey dom. What do the vikings need to do?
54:45
Here this off season. What are you looking for them to do? What's your question? Like the the
54:49
Uh, who do they need to draft? Yeah, the vikings, you know their first pick do they go?
54:56
Um, i'm gonna throw that on there for the last five minutes if I can
55:00
I don't know if it launched. Maybe it did launch there. I did. There it is. All right, boom
55:04
There you can vote on there. We threw up a little
55:07
You can do the vikings draft offense or defense first
55:10
Uh in the first round because right now they have a first round pick and what did you say two fifths two fifths?
55:15
so
55:16
my feeling if gentry falls or uh,
55:21
I don't know if I want to say okay how he's not falling to the vikes though
55:25
I mean, you never know everyone always falls
55:27
But I think the hype's gonna be too big on him and everyone there's enough teams that like 24 right there 24
55:33
I think I have gentry probably about 16 is where I think I have them kind of going
55:38
Um, allegedly the bears could take them at 10. He's favored there a lot
55:41
Yeah, but they need a tackle they need a lot they need a they need a lot
55:47
They have their left tackle. I think is their only guy they really want the other four could all be replaced
55:53
um
55:54
but they have a
55:56
trayvon
55:57
Henderson from ohio state. I really like to um, but honestly if we could trade back to get a couple twos
56:04
That's what i'm saying or two and two threes like I think that's a better move for us because we have so many gaps to fill
56:10
Um, but us with 60s a some odd million left in salary cap
56:15
Um, I think we could be lost too. We could be very aggressive and fill a lot of those gaps
56:19
But we need we need a lot of caps filled. That's the problem on the offensive side, you know
56:24
A guard I want to keep we got bradbury on contract for one more year
56:28
Most people want to get rid of him, but i'd rather replace one of the guards
56:33
And then bradbury still be good enough. We need a running back
56:37
For sure whether we do that free agency a slot
56:41
Receiver would be nice
56:43
Defensively, I think receiver is pretty low on our list true
56:46
I would agree it is probably like six on the list and I'd imagine josh oliver is set to be a free agent for us
56:52
Right. I don't know actually because
56:56
What if I don't know if your buddy brought it up last time we went live
57:01
Um, but what if we traded tj?
57:03
Tj hawkinson away for some draft capital
57:07
Keep the first or trade still trade back. Maybe get some seconds and thirds maybe but
57:12
I just don't see I don't think there's that value you get out of a
57:17
Seven eight year vet in the nfl. That's where he's probably at now, isn't he?
57:24
20 I think it's 27 28. I mean he's been I mean he did a
57:28
A full three four years and I mean arguably he was top three tight end in the league and then this year obviously started
57:37
unhealthy the first half of the season and he never
57:40
It was really off here. Like he never really gained any ground this season. So he needs a rebound season next year, but
57:47
And his contract's high. I just don't see him somebody taking a shot to one tradeable. Yeah
57:52
um
57:54
There's a really fun, uh tight end in the draft. It's your warner out of uh,
57:58
penn state
58:00
He's gonna be well, and that's what I mean though trade tj if you could
58:04
Get a couple picks and you have to take a tight end with one of them
58:07
You know, but I think with warner and loveland out of michigan are the kind of the top two tight ends in the draft this year
58:15
So i'm staring away too much draft. This is crazy
58:17
This person on x has the viking starting lineup next year. Aaron rogers, aaron jones
58:22
jj jordan adison davante adams tj hawkinson
58:26
deris uh
58:28
Tyler booker left guard don't know where he's out of he's the alabama
58:32
Um, so that's the draft then uh drew dolman center
58:36
uh
58:37
alana
58:39
Is he free agent? Yep. I didn't okay. Uh the the right the guard out of um philly and then brian o'neil
58:47
um
58:48
Bek ta. Oh, yeah beckon. Yeah
58:53
It could all happen
58:56
But I don't think that's a very scary offense to me. I mean, yeah jj and jordan adison but
59:01
like
59:02
Putting everything on aaron rogers and aaron jones. Yeah. Oh god
59:07
Coming here for a dollar. Yeah, um, but she
59:11
How much of a discount do you think somebody like aaron rogers takes to go sign with anybody and not just vikes?
59:16
But I think a minimum 20
59:19
20 mil for one year deal. Yep
59:21
I think that's what he'd demand like he'd play for anything less
59:24
That's at any point in his career because what is he 38 years old right now? Yeah, right older than that
59:29
What am I talking about? I bet
59:31
But he's not gonna go and take less money in like 41 geno smith
59:37
You know
59:39
So but on the defensive side, we need probably some we need definitely interior
59:43
Interior linebackers were good and then secondary. Yeah losing bollard and tillery
59:48
Interior right now. Yeah pass rogers
59:51
There's a handful of good safeties. Uh, um
59:56
I'm high on jv on holland if we don't bring back cambynum. You got holland out of the from the dolphins and then you have
1:00:02
Sparks or starks he's gonna be from georgia. He's gonna be probably one of the top
1:00:08
Um safeties off the board. Yeah, i'm scared to take safety now
1:00:11
I got a ptsd take a scene. Yeah pass over kyle hamilton to take louis yeah, we did pass over no
1:00:17
He went early, but we could have had him. Um
1:00:21
But louisine just won a super bowl. I know
1:00:24
I know and then harrison smith like who knows and then all of our corners are all gone
1:00:29
Like we've predicted we'll probably overpay for byron murphy to keep him here two three-year deal
1:00:34
Whatever and then we got blackman coming back off of injury
1:00:37
Well, let's hope he's good to go. Otherwise, we probably got to use one of those fifth rounders on a corner
1:00:42
Yeah, I don't know if remember if we all remember like during the preseason, you know, it's scrambling to get cornerbacks. Oh, yeah
1:00:48
You know, yeah shak griffin and uh gilmer were late late additions both of them. Yeah, so
1:00:54
Uh, I don't expect either one of them back, but we have to keep murphy probably at this point
1:00:59
Well, it's like that is him and matelas would be like the only return
1:01:02
I mean if either of those if griffin or her or uh gilmore return
1:01:08
We're back to we're almost where we were last year
1:01:11
Uh, if one of them returns we're in trouble like unless they want to just play the nickel whatever I guess if we can have uh
1:01:18
if blackman's
1:01:19
Can be a number two corner for us and we're okay having
1:01:23
One b byron murphy be our number one corner arguably maybe two a yeah, I want dj reed out of the jets
1:01:30
That's who I want the viking he's a free agent. He's rated. So you put really if you got holland and reed I think
1:01:37
And make me feel better then you fill in the gaps
1:01:39
I think I know I could be completely wrong on holland, but I think he would fit I think and he's already played for flores before
1:01:45
You know, I mean like I I think they just
1:01:47
It's like van ginkgo coming here. You know, the fit is too perfect
1:01:51
So we'll see and miami has got a little solid crap issues, too
1:01:54
So we'll see who they dump on that defensive side, too
1:01:57
You might be in another easy pickup for the vikes, but yeah with the money that they have but I mean, that's it man
1:02:04
It was it that's the season. It was a good season, brother
1:02:07
We didn't win the super wall this year, but we uh, we felt like we had a chip in a chair there for a minute
1:02:12
But 25 26 seasons skull to the bowl building it back up, baby. Here we go already building already already looking forward
1:02:19
We're gonna have a great draft somehow magically. Yeah, um
1:02:22
maybe jj mccarthy maybe
1:02:24
Daniel jones russell wilson aron rogers. We're saying lots of things, but we got all off season to figure that out. But uh, as always
1:02:33
Appreciate you being here rob. Thanks for having me. Yeah my first year on
1:02:36
I thought it was great. It's better than me
1:02:39
Better than maybe we'll relegate me. Maybe we should look at that
1:02:43
But well, that puts all the pressure on me then I have to really perform perfect. Maybe i'll do better than that
1:02:48
Um, but anyway, thanks kev as always putting the thing together running both of our shows fast laps formula one coming up in march
1:02:56
Uh, look forward to that as the new season kicks off there look for our draft episode which will come
