00:03all right here's the deal the nfl trade deadline is tomorrow afternoon right
00:07while we're on the air
00:11the commanders last year made no trades
00:17they made no trades now you might say well well last that was last year has nothing to do with
00:23this year right um and to some degree you're right they were three and six last year three and six
00:33and that was after losing uh to the lions and with the madrid trip and all that stuff
00:43they're two five and one now so they have a slightly better record
00:51they're on a super short week which i think is a major factor
00:57they play on thursday night if you go and trade stefan diggs do you have a chance to roll out
01:06an army of decent receivers if say trailing burks isn't ready to go on a short week after being so
01:13bad last week that he couldn't practice and obviously couldn't play just because he made
01:18some progress on saturday
01:22you're gonna roll out maybe no stefan diggs maybe no trailing burks you're gonna roll out who
01:30luke mccaffrey antonio williams van jefferson for a must-win game in new york in the division
01:40hard to see man i can't say anything's impossible because i don't control it and i don't want you
01:45numb nuts blowing up on me but hard to see if you use logic right people say oh chris you
01:55bitch
01:55and moan about travel and schedule and logistics and all think about it if they make a trade by
02:01tomorrow's deadline you're already shorthanded you're already on a short week now you're going
02:09to go into a absolute must-win game and trade uh let's let's say it's not stefan diggs trade
02:17caleb on chase on because you can get a second round pick out of him uh for him next year
02:22to a
02:23team that needs pass rush help and he's only on a one-year deal you're gonna do that
02:30now will they make a trade maybe maybe they'll trade nick allegretti maybe the i mean being that
02:35they don't have they don't know what position nick plays anymore maybe they'll trade andrew wiley i
02:41don't think any i i'm talking about like a player of significance a dorance armstrong a frankie lou vu
02:51a caleb on chase on a stefan diggs uh anthony mentioned marcus mariota anthony do you think they
02:59will make a trade before the deadline of of any sort of significance and do you think my theory
03:04not my theory my the reality that they are playing in a game that is a must-win game even
03:11their quarterback said it yesterday and all the math tells you that it is because of tiebreakers
03:17and the only way you can probably get in is the division and realistically and all this other stuff
03:24because it's a short week and they've got to play on thursday night on the road and they're already
03:28hampered with injuries do you think that prevents them from making any trades subtractions
03:34of significance i mean i would love for them to make a trade to be honest again we're delaying
03:42the inevitable by you know trying to go out here and win this division that it's terrible i i do
03:49understand that but we're not all that good of a team so we're going to be a first round exit
03:55if that like i don't see this team going far in the playoffs even if we do go out and
04:00win the division
04:01again like well they say just get in and take your chances that way which there is some merit to
04:07i mean
04:07realistically you could definitely do that but at the same token like we're a mediocre team and i feel
04:14like we're setting ourselves up like we should be trying to do what the falcons are either doing in
04:20terms of like southern golf players that you know teams may want and that's the other thing we might
04:25not have players that opposing teams want i think there are some players on the list that you came up
04:30with on expiring contracts that teams would want i don't think i don't think that the you know the
04:36capital well well the return that you want exactly i mean you could be overvaluing that but again
04:43specific to because it's a short week and they're already short-handed to begin with
04:48going into a must-win game do you think that carries any weight at all i don't think so really
04:55not at all so you would if you got a second round pick for kayla von chason and you thought
05:00that was
05:00good value which seems seems like pretty good value he's probably been our best defensive like
05:07one of our best defensive linemen but i don't know if you're getting a first round pick for him i
05:11mean
05:11a second i'm doing it because again we you're doing it on a short week i'm doing it on a
05:16short week
05:16okay and maybe that's an unpopular you know opinion but i just don't think our team is all that good
05:22and i don't think we're set up for the success i agree totally with you on that i guess i'm
05:28questioning the short week nature before a must-win game short week must-win game they know that pretty
05:37much thursday night realistically is it for division tiebreakers and all but see here's the problem
05:43i don't think they look at thursday i think they look at thursday night game as an important game
05:49i don't think they look at it as the end i think they'll come back and be like well you
05:53know we just
05:53got to work hard put our nose to the grindstone and you know and we'll be fine right yeah
06:01i mean i don't know like i do not think they will make a trade of significance before the deadline
06:08tomorrow a because they think they still very much have a chance b again i i think they don't want
06:17to
06:17look at it as giving up on the season in week nine number one number two especially when their butts
06:25are
06:25on the line and they might not be here to reap the rewards of the future to again going into
06:32a must-win
06:33game when you're already shorthanded i maybe i'm missing something i don't know i don't think you
06:39are but my question to you would be look at the falcons they're in a similar position as a bad
06:48division bad division what are they three and six they're like three and five or three and six either
06:54way like i think all of the teams down they have like three wins maybe one team has four but
06:59it's a
06:59terrible division and something that they can win but they're thinking forward and you know
07:06trying to get out in front of things and get a great haul of picks for jesse bates totally agree
07:12so i i mean they are three and six by the way uh so is tampa bay after last night
07:17uh three and five
07:19new orleans three and five carolina yeah so everybody has three wins yeah the commanders again are two
07:24five and one the giants lead the division of course at five two and one now if the giants of
07:32course beat
07:33the commanders on thursday night they would be six two and one and they would be three oh and one
07:39in
07:39the division the commanders would be two six and one and they would be one three and one in the
07:45division it's over johnny yeah now they're gonna still say no it's not anything can happen you're right
07:52anything can happen i need this team to understand just like they didn't last year they didn't
07:59understand what they weren't last year they didn't have it they weren't good too many injuries too many
08:05things to overcome they didn't trade anybody this year they have more expiring contracts of at least
08:15somewhat interesting names we just mentioned a few kayla vaughn frankie louvu dorrence armstrong
08:22um marcus mariotta even uh stefan diggs so on and so forth right but just those five guys alone
08:30there to me i think it would be a travesty not to trade one of those guys but i think
08:35the way they
08:36think i'm i'm trying to think the way they think they think that again thursday is a must win we're
08:42not going to short change our team going into that game any more than we already are so no trades
08:51we are not doing it right man they'll never admit that i know but well they need somebody maybe they
08:59will maybe they wake up and smell the coffee because clearly they don't realize that it's
09:04sitting right in front of them i'd be very interested uh i'll pass a note along to the junks
09:09that when when he comes on i i presume it'll be friday after the giants game right because he's
09:16normally on on friday mornings and they get to the trade deadline and and say they made no moves or
09:21or only one small minor move you know andrew wiley or whatever um did this short week and preparing
09:29for that and having enough bodies and enough depth that you already don't have did that factor in
09:39because i i think it does but i could be wrong
