0:00.0	from tim to open up the show kevin i agree with your caller the terry saga is killing the vibe
0:09.7	good morning everybody uh mike jones is going to join us on the show at 11 a m ben will join us
0:16.5	from training camp at noon and you'll hear some some of my conversation with Fred Smoot yesterday about some of his observations
0:27.1	about the team.
0:29.0	Yeah, we had somebody call yesterday or the day before, Max.
0:32.8	It may have been yesterday.
0:34.3	And the caller said, look, this thing is dragging on so long, it's actually
0:38.7	killing the vibe, killing the excitement that I had for the season this year. And I answered
0:46.5	it honestly, from my standpoint, it's not killing it for me. Part of that, I think, is because, again, I know he's going to play. He has to
0:59.5	play. Like, the Kime story yesterday really highlighted a couple of things, some of which we've

1:47.1	turns 31, which would be Terry's, the second year of this contract extension, the receiver
1:54.3	position, receivers, even the great ones, start to diminish. Their performance starts to drop off and sometimes significantly drop off.
2:04.8	And we can talk about, you know, Terry not getting all the snaps as a college player and being a young 30 and coming off his best season, his age 29 season, and all of that.
2:15.0	But they are, you know, basing a lot of this on the analytics of the
2:20.9	position as it relates to age. And then the other part of this is what they, with what they
2:27.0	have coming down the road and not even talking about the Jaden deal two years from now. But
