Is Vrable going to make the team better? And are they a playoff team this year?

0:05.6

They're going to be drastically better. They have been so bad. They were gutted by drafts really, like, from 2013 to 2025 that were an embarrassment.

0:16.1

They won't make the playoffs. They're going to sniff around it all the way through Christmas. You'll see those

0:22.1

playoff possibilities. They'll be listed right up through the last week of the season. I don't

0:26.7

think they'll make the playoffs because that's just the way I feel today. Tomorrow might feel

0:31.6

different. That was August before the start of the regular season, Tom Curran. What was this?
