THE HERD | Warriors overcome big Luka Doncic night to beat Mavericks, earn 5th straight win – Colin

Was n coachable enough Dynamic enough mobile enough and didn’t win enough point fingers all you want the quarterbacks and it’s rare about 20 25% hit become franchise guys but 75% of first round quarterbacks don’t work the ones that do hit usually have a unique gift they run like Lamar they’re as big

As Josh Allen as elusive as Kyler Murray as talented as Patrick Mahomes as big as Justin Herbert there’s usually something extraordinary a unicorn physically about them that is not M Jones I thought he was accurate efficient would be a grown-up could run an offense but in the

End it was a bad fit New England did not have weapons in fact there’s no disputing his Alabama wide receivers were significantly better than his NFL wide receivers who don’t separate and he didn’t take the heart coaching and in the end Zack Wilson M Jones Justin Fields it just doesn’t matter they

Become a casualty five quarterbacks were drafted in the top 15 in that 2021 draft the five have combined for three Playoff starts one win and that’s Trevor Lawrence thought M Jones was efficient enough accurate enough he’d fit right in but instead he’s the latest quarterback

Who didn’t live up to what was at his position very reasonable optimism I never thought he had a ton of hype it was more optimism and there you go he’s now a Jag and probably a backup for the rest of his career the Warriors last night did what’s very hard to do kept

The Dallas Mavericks at 100 points and both Luca and Kyrie were great the Warriors are now G themselves a cushion they’re three games ahead of the Houston Rockets who they play tomorrow in a playing game uh so they play tomorrow but they’re three games ahead of Houston

For the playing spot and they also were on a five-game winning streak and during this winning streak uh Draymond Green has been really really good he’s been the difference not Steph Curry so in a great example is last night Luca and Kyrie were amazing they shot 51% from

The floor they scored half of Dallas’s points Steph Curry struggled and with Luca Kyrie and Steph on the floor Draymond Green made the key plays in the fourth quarter to win it what he unlocks with this offense is substantial you got to watch it to get it not every great

Player has to be a scoring machine the first great player in the NBA was probably Bill Russell known for his defense and rebounding not every great player has to be beloved on every possession or every road trip we did 30 for 30s on the bad boy Pistons and Nick

P Pat Riley’s Knicks so the Warriors this is indisputable are 10 games above 500 when Draymond plays and sub 500 when he doesn’t and uh 130 left in the game there was a tremendous defensive play at The Rim Draymond made that play may have been the best defensive play by The

Warriors all season I haven’t watched every game but they talked about it like that he came down in the next possession and scored and that was really the ball game this Warriors winning streak longest of the Season he’s playing 30 plus minutes he was closer to 24 25

Earlier plus minus is plus 22 last night a virtuoso performance by the guy who’s a different kind of star a bit of a villain more about defense than offense but don’t doubt that Steve Kerr ever ever underestimates his value that was probably the key defensive play of the game um was just a

Massive play I thought he was going to go up to try to foul him and he just had the uh the right angle for the block and um that was a huge play and um Draymond was uh was was brilliant defensively as he has been you know for for a while now

And that’s um he’s one of the reasons we’ve been able to kind of turn the season around yeah I don’t know if the Warriors have enough to win multiple playoff series but again you don’t have to like him all the time but people defended lamb beer in Detroit I don’t

Want to hear a piston fan ever complain about Draymond you defended Rodman you defended lambir you you defended the bad boys don’t want to hear a New York Sports Fan complain about Draymond Green the Knicks had no shooters and six people who could tackle other basketball players the reality is physical and

Defense matters in the NBA and you saw it last night here’s Jordan with the news turn on the news this is the herdline news all right Colin let’s start with some NFL draft talk I was as I reported yesterday the Jets are set to meet with Washington wide receiver Rome

Odun today now Rome had 13 tutes and over, 1600 yards last season the Jets hold the 10th overall pick in the draft Colin I don’t know if he’s going to be there at 10 Chicago has nine but I did have one Scout make the Devonte Adams comparison to me with Odun except he

Said you know what he’s a little bigger he’s a little faster can you imagine Garrett Wilson Romo dun Aaron roders not to mention your guy Bree Hall yeah I wonder though Aaron Rogers much like Brady has never loved young receivers right and this team still has to address

Left tackle because the Bandaids they went and got like Tyron Smith that’s that’s not good enough this offensive line was near the bottom of the league and putting bandaids on a much bigger issue I’d trade down and still try to get the Penn State or Oregon State

Tackles uh and I think that you know I know you say well we need wide receivers if you could trade down once you get a second and a third third pick potentially and that solves problems this is not right now Aaron roders over the last 3 to four years we talked about

It yesterday has not won a playoff game in years and has not won multiple playoff games in about nine years he is not elevating average rosters this roster needs three to four more starters almost all of them offense a tackle a receiver a tight end a second back an

Interior offensive lineman so I I don’t think it’s about getting Roma dun I think it’s about moving down getting another second or third and so I would if I was the Jets my first three to four picks would all be offense I don’t have a problem with that look go look at what

Chicago has done what did they do for about a two-e period receiver running back tight end that’s okay they’re trying to ensure that Caleb Williams works right out of the gate so if I’m the Jets get another tackle get another receiver there’s plenty of them in the

Second third fourth get a tie end and get somebody to back up Bree Hall cuz he’s had a big injury but I I I know everybody loves that top receiver pick but they they’ve got more needs than I think Jet fans would acknowledge let me counter that and say maybe Brock Bowers

In a 10 instead of trading back again Brock Bowers at 10 is a unique tight end Roma dun is a very good receiver in a draft filled with him this is sort of a two to three tight end draft if you listen last year was the big tight end

Draft yeah this year’s more the receiver tackle quarterback draft all right sticking with the upcoming draft in Lance Zer Lin’s latest mock he has the gmen trading up to three to select Drake may now in that trade Lance says the Patriots receive the six pick and then take LSU’s Malik neighbors

Colin Daniel Jones to Drake May in New York well if I was let’s just say Lance zerline is right and Caleb and Jaden are the first taken if I’m Drake may I would rather th go to the Giants than the Patriots cuz I have a proven offensive

Coach now New York and New England to me along with Carolina are bereft of any offensive skill they just I don’t remember teams in recent memory three teams Giants Panthers Panthers Patriots no quarterback rookie quarterback is going to succeed including Caleb Williams that is going to be a tough road but I do

Think the Giants if they get a drake May with this offensive coach they’ll Cobble together drives they’ll Cobble together success Drake May is not quite Josh Allen who Brian DS work with but he’s a big strong kid who can move there are some Josh Allen Herbert comps

So if I’m Drake May if I’m any of these quarterbacks the one nightmare scenario is New England defensive coach rookie defensive coach bad weather and I mean we got to be honest about this really really weak perimeter skill players yeah yeah and it’d be interesting to go from

A Duke guy to a Carolina guy but Colin I have I mean listen I you can never be 100% sure with these things but I’m pretty convinced that Giants will take a quarterback in this draft whether that’s May or not we remains to be seen um all right finally let’s talk some college

Hoops NC States win over Duke on Sunday average over 15 million viewers making it the most watched Elite a game since 2019 now the 11 seated wolf pack upset their ACC rival in this game to reach their first final four Colin since 1983 we are seeing star power drive

Ratings in both the women’s game women’s tournament this year as well I’m pretty fired up about Marts Madness Colin what say you well I have a theory on this that now Caitlyn Clark is the exception she’s a star but this is probably as little Elite Talent as the men have ever

Had in in recent memory there’s just no NBA guys yukon’s got a couple Kentucky had a couple but I have this theory that when there’s chaos and uncertainty in the country people seek comfort so historically when we’re at War ice cream sales
