I'm not 40 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,640 Speaker 5: speak after eleven goals until last time we talked, didn't. 41 00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 5: I didn't cancel. I didn't cancel on you guys in 42 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 5: order to preserve my voice for calling more goals tomorrow 43 00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: because I'm thinking two or three tomorrow. 44 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, there's gonna be more strained on a voice. 45 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 5: But I'm here, I got pro so listen the booth 46 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: caam just might not happen from that game because nine 47 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 5: goal is gonna take a long time. That's a lot 48 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,640 Speaker 5: of it, and just yeah, it's it. Just it didn't 49 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 5: fit in the schedule. So I'll be accountable. It's on 50 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 5: me and there's nobody else to blame but to be 51 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 5: resumed soon. 52 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 3: Okay, let's let's let's go back even further. Let's go 53 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 3: back to the MLS opener. It took a little bit 54 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 3: to get the offense going, but dank scores in the 55 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 3: eightieth Haglandads won in the ninetieth they get a clean 56 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 3: sheet on the defensive side of the ball. What did 57 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: you make from the MLS opener at t qol Stadium 58 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 3: last weekend. 59 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the defense was as to be expected 60 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 5: and everybody did their job room and made a couple 61 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 5: of really big saves, which is great to see starting 62 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 5: off his season. The back line was was very good. 63 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 5: Miles was fantastic. He was honored with Team of the 64 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 5: Match day honors because of the way he played on 65 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 5: the back line and deservedly so. I thought you know 66 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 5: he was very much informed. Sammguide hippavel Buka did exactly 67 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,160 Speaker 5: what they were asked to do and and the team 68 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 5: overcame the loss. 69 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 4: Of Evander early. 70 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 5: And I think everybody thirteen minutes into the game was 71 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 5: taking a really really deep breath, and Kevin and I 72 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 5: were in the booth just because of the way he 73 00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 5: went down and immediately called for a medical staff. You know, 74 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 5: you don't call for the medical staff with the new 75 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:15,840 Speaker 5: rules because if they come out, you don't leave. You 76 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 5: have to sit out for two minutes. So your team's 77 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 5: playing a man down for two minutes, and obviously you 78 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: don't want to make a substitution that early in the match. 79 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: But he felt something and felt the need to come out, 80 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 5: so they were able to overcome that dout of violence 81 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 5: way they came in and did really well. And sure 82 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,239 Speaker 5: the creativity and some of the finishing and final third 83 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,519 Speaker 5: took a while to get there, but the key is 84 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 5: that got there, and when he got there, they didn't 85 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 5: have to score three goals because they hadn't conceded any 86 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 5: so one was fine and two was the icing on 87 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 5: the cake. And I thought the team, you know, performed 88 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 5: well for that first home match in league play. 89 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 3: With Evander and leaving the field. Where does that stand 90 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 3: with with where this team is at now? 91 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 4: Uh? Yeah, you know they said that be of the 92 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 4: scans on Monday. 93 00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 5: You know, nothing too serious there, So they'll continue to 94 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: evaluate his status moving forward. And I don't think they're 95 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 5: going to rush him back into a match because if 96 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 5: he's close but not there, and you're playing someone that's 97 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 5: going to be off the cold, like, are you. 98 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 4: Gonna push him? 99 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 5: I'm not the doctor, I don't pretend to be one, 100 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 5: but I don't know that you would push him and 101 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 5: take a risk of losing him for a month or two. 102 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 4: You know, I don't think anybody would do that. 103 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 5: Right, if it's December and it's the MLS Cup final, 104 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 5: well different story, right, he doesn't have to play an 105 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 5: our game after that. But it's you know, February, late 106 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,479 Speaker 5: February and into March with a busy schedule coming up 107 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 5: because you're adding a couple of games against Te Grace, 108 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 5: So I think that they're gonna be cautious with him. 109 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 5: But the great news was that Monday when they did 110 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 5: the scams, there was nothing you know, seriously damaged that 111 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 5: was a cause of concern for a long term rehab. 112 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 5: So I think he's hungry to get back out there 113 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 5: because certainly disappointed only playing thirteen minutes in an MLS opener. 114 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 4: But I imagine we'll see him back out on the 115 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 4: pitch soon. 116 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: You mentioned t Grace. That's because FC Cincinnati has advanced 117 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: into the conquer CAFF Champions Cup, into the round of sixteen. 118 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 3: They do so with a nine nil victory Tommy. Eight 119 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 3: different FC Cincinnati players score, and what's even more remarkable, 120 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: they hold the opponent to zero shots on goal. Regardless 121 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: of what the and who the opponent. Is still a 122 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: very impressive output for this team to advance in the 123 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 3: conquer CAF Champions Cup. 124 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, it was, and listen, we talked about it last 125 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,919 Speaker 5: week a little bit. We'll talk about again today. It 126 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,599 Speaker 5: was professional, you know by Ceasoncinnati that they they put. 127 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 4: It away early. They left no doubt in the series. 128 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,040 Speaker 4: I mean, O and M wasn't going. 129 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 5: To find a way to win five nil and and 130 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 5: advance beyond f CA Cincinnati. But they still had to 131 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,039 Speaker 5: go out there and operate. And last year, you know, 132 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 5: they did the same thing. They went to Mataguah and 133 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 5: one four nil and then came home and drew one 134 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 5: one And you're still advance in that scenario, but you 135 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 5: like to see the performance and you'd like to see 136 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:44,840 Speaker 5: the young kids. 137 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 4: I mean, how much fun was it watching all the 138 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 4: academy kids. 139 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, some some of who which are on 140 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 5: two team contracts, some of which were appearing for the 141 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: first team for the first time, go out there and 142 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 5: score goals. Adam Marchanda steps on the pitch and scores 143 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 5: two minutes into his debut. 144 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 4: That was awesome. 145 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 5: So I think it was a lot of fun to 146 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 5: see the contributions from the younger guys and to be 147 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 5: able to rest guys and get the lineup set up 148 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 5: this Minnesota game, so you continue your momentum in league play. 149 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,479 Speaker 5: But I think the tough part is, and Kevin talked 150 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 5: about it is like playing on m is gonna prepare 151 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 5: you for t Grace because Tea Grace is gonna be 152 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 5: a completely different beast. 153 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 4: We know what they bring, we saw it a couple 154 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: of weeks ago. 155 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 5: But these other games are going to uh, these MLS games, 156 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 5: going up to Minnesota and playing a very good team 157 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 5: and then coming home playing uh uh you know Toronto 158 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 5: side that's trying to improve their squad, is going to 159 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 5: get you more prepared for a game like you know 160 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 5: this to the two they'll play against T Grace and 161 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 5: the two legs series. So I think that it's challenging 162 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 5: for a lot of teams. In Phildelphi, your Union, we're 163 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 5: in a similar situation, you know, where they scored a 164 00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,039 Speaker 5: bunch and then put it away in Leg one and 165 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 5: you know, not many of these first round matches in 166 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 5: KUNKAF Champions Cup are really competitive. 167 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 4: We haven't seen it with us since Hanny in the 168 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 4: three years they've been in it. 169 00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 5: But then you turn around, you're gonna have a league 170 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,720 Speaker 5: at m X Beast staring you in the face. That's 171 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 5: gonna be a little bit of a different situation. But again, professional, 172 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 5: I think is the key word here. Pa talked about it, 173 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 5: Kevin and I talked about it, and that's the key 174 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 5: because it sets you up for this next round as 175 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 5: well as the MLS matches that's around those games. 176 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 3: When you look at the CONCA CAFF Before we get 177 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 3: back to what's coming up this weekend, the round of 178 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 3: sixteen that is a date set is that still to 179 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: be determined? We know the opponent obviously, how does that 180 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: look going forward? 181 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 5: Yeah, so the dates are set and we're kind of 182 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 5: waiting on concacaff oft times. But because Tea Grace is 183 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 5: ranked higher than a C Cincinnati, the first leg is 184 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 5: in Cincinnati because you want to have a second leg 185 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 5: that gives you the advantage of knowing it exactly what 186 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 5: you need to do at home. So the match here 187 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 5: will be March twelfth, which is a Thursday, and then 188 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 5: March nineteenth down in Monterey. It'll be third thraight years 189 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 5: since it's gone to Monterey. Four match of course, played 190 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 5: Riatos two years ago, TA Grace last year, and then 191 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 5: we'll be back this year, so. 192 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 4: They know exactly what to expect from Avil situation. 193 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,440 Speaker 5: But yeah, it will be March twelfth of March nineteenth, 194 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 5: and we're kind of waiting on Conkcaft to get those 195 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 5: game times so we know exactly what they will be. 196 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: But that part is set. 197 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 3: Looking forward to now the weekend back to MLS play 198 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: a road trip, as you mentioned, to Minnesota. It's been 199 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: a clean start. As we mentioned for FC Cincinnati used 200 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 3: the term professional. What needs to be done? Where can 201 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 3: they improve in their game? As you now make the 202 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: road trip to Minnesota. 203 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it's a quick start, right, and everybody's 204 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 5: gona have to deal with the temperature. It's gonna be 205 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 5: about twenty two degrees or so at game time. Low 206 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,559 Speaker 5: Tomorrow's four degrees in Saint Paul, So you better believe 207 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 5: I have all the layers, you know, fast in the 208 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 5: suitcase and ready to go for that. 209 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 4: So you know, both teams are gonna have to deal 210 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 4: with that. 211 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 5: I think the interesting part when you look at Minnesota 212 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 5: is well, James Rodriguez play. He practiced this week for 213 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 5: the first time since being transferred in Obviously he's a 214 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,359 Speaker 5: world class player and someone that's coming on to their organization. 215 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 4: So I think we'll be involved. Will he be in 216 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 4: there from the start? I don't know. 217 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 5: We'll have to, you know, see when a lineup cards 218 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 5: come out tomorrow. But I think that, you know, Minnesota 219 00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 5: a team that made a lot of moves, especially about 220 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 5: it in a lot of guys with MLS experience, you know, 221 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 5: within the league and bringing onto their side to try 222 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 5: to improve their team. You know, they had a two 223 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,679 Speaker 5: two draw in week one, so they gave up a 224 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 5: couple of goals. Drake Calendars in goal. He's an MS veteran. 225 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 5: He was with Miami, he kind of lost his spot 226 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 5: down there, got traded to d C during the season 227 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,440 Speaker 5: last year, and now he's with Minnesota United. So a 228 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 5: very strong goalkeeper, but a goalkeeper that ectually since he'd 229 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:32,400 Speaker 5: been able to figure out. Historically, they've they've averaged student 230 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,679 Speaker 5: half goals per game. I think it six starts against 231 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 5: Drake Calendar. So they found success there. So you know, 232 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: hopefully some of that continues, and I believe that, you know, 233 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 5: the team is set up for success, but I think 234 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 5: getting one early and kind of taken over would be 235 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 5: really big. 236 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 3: I know, obviously the back end with Roman Celentano has 237 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 3: a big thing to say about it, but early in 238 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 3: the season, when you are sometimes maybe trying to get 239 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 3: in the rhythm offensive, well, you can always rely on 240 00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,280 Speaker 3: the defense, and it feels like you f C Cincinnati 241 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,520 Speaker 3: does just that. Talked about what they did against Atlanta 242 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 3: while the offense was coming along. What is it about 243 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 3: them on the defensive side of the pitch, Tommy that 244 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,560 Speaker 3: that makes them a challenge for these opposing offenses in MLS. 245 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 5: Well, it starts with the leadership of Miles Robinson. He 246 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 5: he where's the captain's arm band? Likely to be with 247 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 5: the World Cup the team the US men's national team 248 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 5: this summer, So you know, that's pretty exciting, and just 249 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 5: his recovery speed is unbelievable. There were a couple of 250 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 5: times in that Atlanta nighted match with Kevin not let 251 00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 5: each other and we're like, man like the play that 252 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,959 Speaker 5: he just made, Like there's very few guys in the 253 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 5: league who can make that play, who can have an 254 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,559 Speaker 5: attacking player who has a step or two on him 255 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 5: and he just cleans it up and catches up to 256 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,680 Speaker 5: him and stuffs it out so that Roman doesn't have 257 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 5: to make the play. And you'll always see Roman run 258 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,319 Speaker 5: over and give him big high five because he feels 259 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 5: a Miles save the day. So you know, credit to Miles. 260 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 5: It starts there. But Nick Haglan was good, teenager Dab 261 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 5: was good. So you goes three at the back line. 262 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 5: Then you puvel and and geting in front of them 263 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 5: as two very formidable defensive midfielders, which that position has 264 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 5: been very strong the last couple of years for the team, 265 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 5: and I think we'll continue to see that. So when 266 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 5: you're the base of those five players and their experience 267 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 5: all playing together. I think it sets the team up 268 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 5: for success. 269 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 3: If there's been one thing we know about this organization 270 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 3: is that they're always looking and figuring out ways to 271 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: improve this club, whether it's offseason, in season, and it's 272 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 3: so early in the year, But are there parts of 273 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 3: this team that that you could foresee maybe an upgrade 274 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: or maybe depth pieces on a certain side of the 275 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 3: ball would make sense knowing the grueling length of an 276 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 3: MLS season. 277 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:32,679 Speaker 6: M m Well. 278 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 4: I think in the midfield we've seen that there is 279 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: great depth. 280 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,439 Speaker 5: I mean, being a Wilbitel and Brian and Iunga who 281 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 5: started the two Champions Cup games. You know, we're on 282 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:43,640 Speaker 5: the bench for the game against Atlanta and so they 283 00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 5: didn't even start. And you have you know, Pavel and 284 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 5: samm and Guide who came in last year starting in 285 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 5: those roles. 286 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 4: So you have great you know depth there. I think 287 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 4: there's very good depth that the. 288 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 5: Center of acquisition, especially Matt Maaska coming back right now. 289 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 5: You know, the wing decks I think have been good. 290 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 5: And then you have Alvis and Kyle Man who can 291 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: play there as backups. I think maybe the one place 292 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,440 Speaker 5: that they bring somebody in maybe if they bring somebody in, 293 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 5: you know before the summer window, would be an attacking piece, 294 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,559 Speaker 5: another striker. Kevin den Case obviously going to start whenever 295 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 5: he is healthy, and then I think Tom Barlow and 296 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 5: Ayub Jabari, you're in a battle for who is that 297 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: second striker, and maybe there would be a little more 298 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 5: comfort if there was one more striker in the mix, 299 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 5: you know, battling for those minutes out of Avalezuela can 300 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 5: fill in at the ten and we saw that when 301 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 5: when Evander is out, so you have a good young 302 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 5: piece to to step in, and he did really well 303 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 5: in the lane of game. 304 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: So I'd say probably an attacking piece. 305 00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 5: If Chris Aubrey is out and working on somebody that 306 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 5: that's probably what he's trying to do to improve the 307 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:42,959 Speaker 5: team here before they get to the summer window. And 308 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 5: then the summer window kind of depend on on who's available. 309 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,680 Speaker 5: And this summer's window is going to be really interesting 310 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: because the World Cup, a lot of guys are going 311 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 5: to be here in the United States. You know, how 312 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 5: will that affect their perception of major soccer and their 313 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: perception to want to play here in the United States. 314 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 5: If you're talking about international players, right and people who 315 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,160 Speaker 5: might come over. So I think that there's definitely the 316 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 5: wiggle room to add a body. Will we see somebody 317 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 5: before the summer. I don't know, maybe fifty fifty, but 318 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,520 Speaker 5: that I wouldn't be surprised if they do add somebody. 319 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,079 Speaker 4: I would expect it to be an attacking piece. 320 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,719 Speaker 3: We obviously know that Inner Miami is a team that 321 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: you're gonna have to watch out for this year. They 322 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 3: lose their season opener three to zero to LAFC. How 323 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 3: much does that put on a on a game like tomorrow, 324 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,200 Speaker 3: knowing that you're going to be in a battle and 325 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: there's really good teams in your conference, and the opportunity 326 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 3: to go and get three more points early on, and 327 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,760 Speaker 3: I know you it drags out into a big season, 328 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: but it feels like every match is so important. You 329 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 3: mentioned getting a goal early to kind of settle in, 330 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 3: But how much do you just think, Okay, you got 331 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: to capitalize on every opening that you have, and certainly 332 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 3: there is one right now with an early Miami loss. 333 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,439 Speaker 4: No, you do right. You want them chasing your understandings. 334 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 5: And you know, my son joking with me, but he's like, hey, yes, 335 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 5: she's in first in Miami's in fourteenth. Yeah week too, buddy, yep, 336 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 5: but yeah, I like it though. But but but there's 337 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 5: something to that at your three points out right and 338 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 5: and well, you know last year you're you're chasing Philadelphia 339 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 5: for the supporter shehet and you just finished a couple 340 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 5: points back. So maybe one of those early games where 341 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: we're you ack three points on somebody and they don't win, 342 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 5: then all of a sudden, uh, your that could be 343 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 5: the difference come week thirty four. 344 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 4: Right. 345 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 5: So now, I think all of these games are are 346 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 5: incredibly important, and if you can draw a little bit 347 00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 5: of gap there between the favorites, then absolutely that's a 348 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 5: massive positive. 349 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 3: I do have to ask before we we let you go, Tommy. 350 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 3: It's spring training is here, the NFL Draft is upcoming. 351 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,240 Speaker 3: I haven't got your thoughts. You guys got a new 352 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 3: coach in Cleveland with the Browns. What's your thoughts on 353 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: the new coach and what do you think of the 354 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 3: Guardian's going into this year? 355 00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 5: You know, I think you know, Guardians didn't really make 356 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 5: many splashy, big moves, but they have a you know, 357 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 5: a very solid core, I would say, and obviously a 358 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 5: superstar and Jose Ramirez, who has you know, reiterated his 359 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 5: desire to be in Cleveland long term. 360 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,040 Speaker 4: So that's exciting. But you know, a lot of things 361 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:01,600 Speaker 4: have to go right. 362 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 5: I think for the Guardians to be a true contender, 363 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 5: could they win their division, sure, but it'll be very 364 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 5: interesting to kind. 365 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: Of see how it plays out. Obviously the Tigers are 366 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 4: very good. 367 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 5: I don't know, we'll see, but I love that Jose 368 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 5: you know, it's committee to Cleveland and wants to be there. 369 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 4: The Browns, how much time do we have. I mean, 370 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 4: we coudn't have got this out a couple of weeks ago. 371 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: I just had to do it like I had to 372 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 2: do it. 373 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 4: No, we'll see, We'll see, you know. 374 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,160 Speaker 5: Obviously, I think some cards were probably misplayed, and and 375 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: there was hope that that Jim Schwartz was going to 376 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 5: be involved in some way. 377 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 4: There's a head coach of defensive coordinator. 378 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 5: Now you don't have him as either, So I think 379 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:43,920 Speaker 5: that that's a big point of frustration. And I mean 380 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 5: we've had the same conversation. They have so much to 381 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 5: figure out. This is the same conversation we've had every 382 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 5: February for the last couple of years. Right, they have 383 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 5: they have a future you know, hall of famer. Uh, 384 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 5: you know, surefire hall of famer, best defensive player in 385 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,280 Speaker 5: the league in Miles Garrett. And and he might be 386 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 5: a little annoyed now that his defensive coordinator that he 387 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,680 Speaker 5: loved is gone. They're gonna to figure out things on 388 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,520 Speaker 5: the offensive side of the ball because they've done enough 389 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,200 Speaker 5: offensively to at least be competitive. 390 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: So are you interested in Anthony richardson. 391 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 5: The Oh no, not particular. 392 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: Okay, And I do have to ask before we let 393 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 3: you go.

What what what does that mean to you? 397 00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 4: I think it's the first time Austin. Is that right? 398 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 7: No, it's we've we've worked probably five or six games 399 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 7: together before. 400 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 2: Clearly it wasn't memorable. 401 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 5: They kind of well, no, But the point is that 402 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 5: we talked so often that that it all it all, 403 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 5: you know, and just becomes normal piece of life that 404 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 5: I'm communicating with you month times. 405 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 3: What does that bring to your broadcast though?

Obviously a nice 447 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,919 Speaker 3: little winning streak, a big win at Kansas, which had 448 00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: to be awesome for everyone involved. The locker room scenes 449 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: after the game, we were amazing to watch, and then 450 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 3: a tough Texas Tech team, but still three games left 451 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 3: in the regular season schedule. Uh, what's the mindset? Does 452 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 3: the team feel ready to go? Feel upbeat right now? 453 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 4: Yeah? 454 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 8: I think the team, you know, understands the difficulty of 455 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 8: this conference and to travel with it and and everything 456 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 8: that goes with it. And you're you're not gonna win. 457 00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 8: I mean, look at all the teams and how many 458 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 8: losses you've had within the conference from Houston Arizona, and 459 00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,360 Speaker 8: it's just hard and the travels hard. So I mean, 460 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 8: Nick Kinch, I think are very upbeat at this point. 461 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 8: We have three games to go in the season and 462 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,479 Speaker 8: hopefully make a little run in the tournament. And you know, 463 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:15,160 Speaker 8: there's still that possibility of the tournament. So I'm very 464 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,159 Speaker 8: very optimistic that the kids are there to be ever 465 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 8: pulled off. 466 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,719 Speaker 3: I do have to say as well, we just had 467 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 3: a chance to talk to our good friend Tom Gallader 468 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 3: from FC Cincinnati. But before Tommy G was handling business 469 00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,360 Speaker 3: with the Orange and Blue, Tommy G was the sideline 470 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 3: reporter when I was playing football at you See, and 471 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 3: Tommy wanted me to pass along his hello and also 472 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:37,800 Speaker 3: to just bring up and remind you all those times 473 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 3: that he had to hound you on the sidelines to 474 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,280 Speaker 3: get injury reports on me during games. 475 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 8: Well, I know, I miss Tommy. Tommy's great kid whole 476 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 8: he was a kid, He's a great guy, does a 477 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 8: phenomenal job with FC Cincinnati and it's a great team 478 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 8: program right now with everything they've put together. Tom was 479 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 8: easy to work with never really bothered badging me too much, 480 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 8: you know. And again he wasn't like you, you know, 481 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,920 Speaker 8: you always got on my back about a report. He's 482 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:09,600 Speaker 8: just so easy to get along with. 483 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 3: Oh, it's probably like, oh, Pike's hurt again, I'll just 484 00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 3: report on that. 485 00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, and there you go. 486 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 2: It was easy. It was easy. 487 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 3: But I thought, because Tommy had mentioned it today that 488 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 3: they are getting ready to play in Minnesota tomorrow and 489 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 3: the temperatures are expected to be as low as four 490 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 3: degrees and it's obviously an outdoor event, it's an outdoor venue. 491 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 3: And it got me thinking, you know, early in a season, 492 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 3: it's one thing to deal with weather. As the season 493 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 3: goes on, for instance, football is kind of in reverse. Right, 494 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 3: you start and it's hot, it's summer. By the time 495 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 3: you finish, you're playing in some cold temperature games. Soccer 496 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 3: it's a little bit different. They're playing these cold temperature games. Now, 497 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 3: how difficult is that early in a season, when you 498 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 3: think of all the types of injuries that could come 499 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,199 Speaker 3: up to go on the road and play in a 500 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 3: cold weather environment. 501 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:57,920 Speaker 8: Well, I mean, you got a lot of things in 502 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 8: considering cold weather environments. And again I think in today's 503 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 8: word technology. I'll also, you know, you have a lot 504 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 8: of advances that allow you to make sure that you 505 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 8: stay safe in the cold weather. You know, everything from 506 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:13,160 Speaker 8: heaters on. 507 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 4: The sideline to different. 508 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 8: Heating pieces you can put in your shoes or your 509 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 8: hands or whatever. So I think that it's still very 510 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 8: dangerous to participate in for degrees. That exposure time does 511 00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 8: not take long to start to get skin changes and 512 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 8: fasten or changes, and that makes your injury potentially even 513 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:37,119 Speaker 8: higher risk. 514 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,120 Speaker 4: Plus, imagine that cold. 515 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 8: Temperature on the surface of the field, where you know 516 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 8: the surface can get much too cold, and all of 517 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:48,680 Speaker 8: a sudden it's more slippery. So now you've got a 518 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 8: better chance at a hamstring, poor an add doctor pollor 519 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,120 Speaker 8: even potentially a knee injury. Unfortunately. Plus it's a hard 520 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 8: surface to to you know, fall on. So you know, 521 00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 8: again I hated cold weather games. I went much rather 522 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 8: to be ninety degrees and heat then get out there. 523 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 8: And you know you remember the game. I think you 524 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,360 Speaker 8: were with us when we played Marshall down in Fort 525 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 8: Worth at the Texas Bowl where it went from seventy 526 00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 8: two degrees the first two days of practice, but with 527 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:24,880 Speaker 8: the wind show by the time we played the game, 528 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 8: it was seventeen degrees and we had to completely rethink 529 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 8: everything from warm up to what we had on the sideline. 530 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 8: But again, there's a lot of products out there. I mean, 531 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,520 Speaker 8: you take like people used to tease me about always 532 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,320 Speaker 8: wearing a sweater vest even when it was like twenty degrees, 533 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 8: because there's a product called thermaicares. 534 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,160 Speaker 2: You remember, you wore those as well, and. 535 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 8: You can put them on your back, you can put them, 536 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 8: you know, around your neck, around your upper body so 537 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 8: you could keep warm and make it look like you 538 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,480 Speaker 8: were a tough guy, you know when you're in long 539 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 8: sleeve in a sweater vest. So there are things that 540 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 8: kids can do. The training staff is very good training staff. 541 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 8: I'm sure they've had their whole thought process through. At 542 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 8: the collegiate level for Olympic sports, now baseball soccer, if 543 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 8: it gets to a certain temperature running that thirty degree range, 544 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 8: we actually will not play because of a risk of injury, 545 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 8: especially to pitchers catchers. 546 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 2: So you know, in. 547 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 8: The at the NCAA level, in different conferences that pass 548 00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 8: different weather related cold weather related policies can order to 549 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 8: detect the kids kids better so that you have less 550 00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 8: risk of injury, and you can even take more timeouts 551 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 8: if you want. It's based on the referee or the 552 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 8: officials call, so that you know, the kids have an 553 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 8: opportunity to warm up before they continue the game. Once 554 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 8: you get moving and you're running, you know, you feel 555 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 8: pretty good, but you don't even notice the decrease in 556 00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,159 Speaker 8: the temperature in your bodies. So they have to be 557 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,520 Speaker 8: really careful, especially at four degrees, you know. But again 558 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 8: they they have things out there now that can help 559 00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 8: them through it. 560 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: I look too. 561 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,360 Speaker 3: I know when you when you start thinking of extreme 562 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 3: cold temperatures, you you run the risk of the blood 563 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 3: flow being reduced a little bit. So what types of 564 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,159 Speaker 3: injuries are you looking out for from from players in 565 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 3: those cold weather environments? 566 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,919 Speaker 8: Oh, I'm really worried about must of their injuries. You know, 567 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 8: you've got to be very very careful of muscle injury. Uh, 568 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 8: your ham frings, your quad get cold, your abductors. 569 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 6: Uh. 570 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: You overreach for a ball and. 571 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 8: It's basically an e centric move, which is like day 572 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 8: deceleration stop or you know hod stretch reads for a ball. 573 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,640 Speaker 8: Uh that you know, you can pull something pretty easy 574 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 8: whenever it's in colder temperatures. So you know, the bottom 575 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 8: line is you just want to make sure you're you're 576 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 8: keeping warm. I mean, I'm not sure the roles are 577 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 8: the policy for MSL bit whether you can wear certain 578 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 8: kind of gear while you're playing. For example, you know, tights, 579 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 8: Tights will help you keep it in, Tights will help 580 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 8: keep warm. So you know, again in our league, you 581 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 8: watch the kids at the collegiate level, they're all in 582 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:18,680 Speaker 8: tights except for the linemen, and they all want to 583 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 8: be you know, tough asses and they all win just 584 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 8: wear short sleeve shirts. Whereas you know, your skilled kids 585 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 8: are usually in you know, long sleeve shirts and pants. 586 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 8: So plus, you know when your offense defense, you know 587 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,919 Speaker 8: when you're off you're on those seated benches, whereas in 588 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 8: soccer you're out there playing for forty five minutes at 589 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 8: a time. 590 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 3: So are you like, so is it as a train 591 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,840 Speaker 3: staff and you're playing in a in a cold weather environment, 592 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 3: are you talking to coaches? Are you talking with other 593 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 3: staff members about you know, is it is it smart 594 00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,920 Speaker 3: this early into season to hold someone back or something 595 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 3: along those lines. 596 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 8: Well, yeah, if you have a kid who's already got 597 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,720 Speaker 8: issues going in of the game, you want to make 598 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 8: sure that you're keeping an eye on that kid while 599 00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,199 Speaker 8: they're playing so that they can they you know, you 600 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,880 Speaker 8: minimize their risk. So you don't want to put them. 601 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 8: You don't want to subject them to something that you 602 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 8: know is going to end up resulting in uh, you know, 603 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,600 Speaker 8: in them becoming worse and then all of a sudden 604 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 8: you lose them for three more games. 605 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, especially early in the season as well. 606 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 8: Right, Oh, absolutely early in the season, you know, I mean, 607 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 8: you want to make sure that they you know, they 608 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 8: stay safe, stay warm. If they're starting to feel any 609 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 8: tightness at all, you know, you may have to pull 610 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 8: them from a game, you know, and I've you know, 611 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 8: we've done that. I've absolutely done that, so that you know, 612 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 8: the kids, uh, the kids, they're trying to not get worse. 613 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 8: At this time of year, you're trying to minimize your 614 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:52,119 Speaker 8: injury and really mitigate that. 615 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 4: Right. 616 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 3: So, So, if if those conversations are are obviously being had, 617 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 3: is that something you're talking about with the coach as 618 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:06,080 Speaker 3: the game comes up, are you kind of are there 619 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 3: meetings behind the scenes? Is kind of what I'm asking about. Okay, 620 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 3: the availability of this player, maybe the risk you're constantly 621 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 3: talking to a coach about that, I'm sure yes. 622 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 8: As the game is ongoing, you know, you're assessing the kid, 623 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 8: you're assessing the coaches so that they understand, you know, 624 00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 8: what the what the athletes experiencing, because, like I said, 625 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 8: you don't want to lose a kid when they're out 626 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 8: there playing at four degrees and then all of a 627 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 8: sudden they tear their hamstring and they're out for three 628 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 8: weeks and that affects you the outcome of your season. 629 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 8: So those conversations are ongoing throughout the course of the game, 630 00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,879 Speaker 8: you know, especially when you get to the halftime of 631 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 8: the game where you have the opportunity to really assess 632 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 8: everybody and then have a halftime conversation how. 633 00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 3: Much about it. Let's say let's let's switch it from soccer. 634 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: Let's say this basketball season right now, and let's say 635 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 3: you know a player is banged up and there's three 636 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,080 Speaker 3: regular seat and games left. Are you having the same 637 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 3: in game conversations as you would with a head coach 638 00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,480 Speaker 3: of Hey, here's the risk, here's where he's at, and 639 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:11,400 Speaker 3: can it get any worse or can it not get 640 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 3: any worse? There's just contant communication between all sides. 641 00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 8: Yes, we work on what Wes is really super easy. 642 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:23,560 Speaker 8: Wes sits and wants to know, you know, where's this athlete, 643 00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:26,280 Speaker 8: where's that athlete? You know how much practice load do 644 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:30,520 Speaker 8: you think this athlete can handle? And there are guys 645 00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,720 Speaker 8: who we do limit. I mean, if they're going to 646 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 8: play thirty eight minutes in a game, you're not going 647 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 8: to come back two days later and say, okay, let's 648 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 8: go for two hours with that athlete. You know, Wes 649 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,920 Speaker 8: was really comfortable with being able to alter things based 650 00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:49,280 Speaker 8: on where we are with each individual athletes. And sometimes 651 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 8: it's individualized. It's not like the whole team. Because you 652 00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 8: do have guys who are playing thirty plus minutes a game, 653 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,720 Speaker 8: you've got to be a little bit careful of making 654 00:28:57,720 --> 00:28:59,200 Speaker 8: sure they're ready for the next game. 655 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 3: That is Bob Manjean with the University of Cincinnati and Novacare. 656 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:04,480 Speaker 2: He joins us each and every week. 657 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 3: Bob, thanks so much, good luck this weekend, and we'll 658 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:08,240 Speaker 3: talk again next week. 659 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 8: Thanks Tony, We guys have a good weekend.

If you do a deep dive 863 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 6: into the NFLPA report card, you find out that like 864 00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:27,799 Speaker 6: when players are playing in games, the Bengals actually make 865 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 6: their significant others like sling beer and popcorn and cotton 866 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:31,400 Speaker 6: candy and stuff. 867 00:40:32,760 --> 00:40:34,359 Speaker 2: Yeah.

And then short 893 00:41:44,719 --> 00:41:47,120 Speaker 6: Door Sanders got drafted on Sunday, I think, last year. 894 00:41:48,160 --> 00:41:50,439 Speaker 6: And so we're gonna get Benjamin Robinson on to sort 895 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 6: of get what the consensus among all the mock drafters 896 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,120 Speaker 6: is about what the Bengals are gonna do. At ten, 897 00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:57,640 Speaker 6: we'll talk about Caleb Downs, Ruben Baton in his short arms, 898 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,440 Speaker 6: and so much more. He is gonna join us at 899 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,120 Speaker 6: four thirty three. I'm superstowd to get a chance to 900 00:42:02,200 --> 00:42:04,399 Speaker 6: talk with him, and I might do a point by 901 00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:06,879 Speaker 6: point rundown of something I put on social media last 902 00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:09,840 Speaker 6: night oh wow, some website, some some dude on Twitter's like, 903 00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:11,600 Speaker 6: what would you do if you were a baseball commissioner? 904 00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:13,840 Speaker 6: This is one of the questions every single one of 905 00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,000 Speaker 6: us has wrestled with this. I put a lot of 906 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 6: thought into it. I could tell I had like fourteen 907 00:42:18,200 --> 00:42:21,040 Speaker 6: different things. I was bored. I had like fourteen different 908 00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,479 Speaker 6: things would I would do? And I thought I would 909 00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 6: go through some of them and maybe ask people, you know, 910 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 6: if they would add to the list or if they 911 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,239 Speaker 6: want to subtract. I think the most controversial one is 912 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 6: I said I would I would eliminate base coaches. 913 00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 4: I like, that'd be cool. There's no need to the picture. 914 00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,319 Speaker 6: The pitcher doesn't have somebody standing next to him telling 915 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 6: them what pitch to throw. 916 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:42,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, right. 917 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:45,399 Speaker 6: The outfielder doesn't have a coach telling him, hey, throw 918 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:48,120 Speaker 6: the ball to third base. Yet we give base runners 919 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:50,480 Speaker 6: two coaches. This has never made sense to me since 920 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:51,080 Speaker 6: I was a little kid. 921 00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,920 Speaker 2: And they ignore him half the time anyways, right, Like 922 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 2: we could do without. 923 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:58,000 Speaker 6: Like baseball teams are always looking to save money, how 924 00:42:58,000 --> 00:42:59,320 Speaker 6: about you don't have a guy. 925 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:02,360 Speaker 2: Who's there solely to collect shin guards. Do you need him? 926 00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 6: Do you really need somebody going, okay, two outs run 927 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:07,240 Speaker 6: on anything? 928 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:09,120 Speaker 2: Like, Really, you're at the major league level. 929 00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:11,879 Speaker 6: You need a guy in a helmet looking at you, going, hey, 930 00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:14,960 Speaker 6: t outs, two outs? Okay? You know what, I could 931 00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:17,520 Speaker 6: be a first base coach, like I think of when 932 00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:20,200 Speaker 6: I played every for every coach. I mean, sometimes they 933 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 6: would make like one of the players in little league 934 00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,719 Speaker 6: be the first base coach. That's how important that job is. 935 00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 6: And let another twelve year old do it. The first 936 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,640 Speaker 6: base coach never provided anything like, all right, two outs, 937 00:43:30,800 --> 00:43:32,759 Speaker 6: run on anything. One out okay, if it's on the ground, 938 00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:34,680 Speaker 6: you gotta go like, thanks, man, see you mean if 939 00:43:34,680 --> 00:43:37,080 Speaker 6: the ball's in on the ground, I gotta run from here. Wow, gee, thanks. 940 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 6: I never watch a baseball game before appreciate it. That's 941 00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,080 Speaker 6: what the first base coach does. Hey, watch for his move, 942 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 6: don't get picked off? All right, thanks pal, appreciate it. 943 00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 6: Do we really need that, No, So we're gonna eliminate 944 00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,960 Speaker 6: that position. Third base coach has a little bit more 945 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:52,479 Speaker 6: of an important function, but at the major league level, 946 00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:54,920 Speaker 6: a runner should know whether or not he's gonna go 947 00:43:55,040 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 6: home or stop at third base without any assistance. The 948 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,960 Speaker 6: guy throwing the ball doesn't have any But he's telling him, Hey, 949 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 6: you're not gonna get the guy. You're not gonna get 950 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 6: the lead runner, So throat and get the trail runner. 951 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 6: So why do we have bas coaches? These are the 952 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:08,920 Speaker 6: things I think about when I have a lot of 953 00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 6: time on my hands, which I did last night. 954 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,000 Speaker 3: What do you think Aaron Glen was thinking about watching 955 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:13,000 Speaker 3: the combine yesterday? 956 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:17,680 Speaker 2: I wish I was still with the Lions. I don't know. 957 00:44:18,040 --> 00:44:20,239 Speaker 3: Do you think Brendan Soresby legit thinks he has a 958 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:23,880 Speaker 3: shot at this whole, you know, amicable parting of ways 959 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,160 Speaker 3: and since he helped uc find the next quarterback? 960 00:44:27,719 --> 00:44:29,319 Speaker 2: Well, no, because they've suited him. 961 00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:31,800 Speaker 8: It's crazy. 962 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,360 Speaker 6: It's like it's like once you've been served with divorce papers. 963 00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,400 Speaker 6: It's like, you know what chances are she wants to 964 00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 6: leave me. There's no amicable, there's no like, well, let's 965 00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 6: see if we can, like what does Branda want to do? 966 00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 6: Get back together? Like he own he could have helped 967 00:44:45,000 --> 00:44:47,239 Speaker 6: pick the next quarterback. He could have done all that 968 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:49,960 Speaker 6: he thought was nice to do. But if he violated 969 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,080 Speaker 6: the contract and he had to pay, you see a 970 00:44:52,160 --> 00:44:53,759 Speaker 6: million dollars, then pay the million. 971 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:59,120 Speaker 2: Dollars well said, they said in the statement they wished him. Well, yeah, 972 00:44:59,280 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 2: that's amicable. 973 00:45:00,840 --> 00:45:03,840 Speaker 3: You think you think he was like sitting down with 974 00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:06,800 Speaker 3: Sat watching tape of other quarterbacks, like get this is 975 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,840 Speaker 3: the guy, Sat, this is the wrench yep, this is 976 00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 3: the guy you should get to replace me. 977 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:13,799 Speaker 6: Do you know what my favorite and I never I 978 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:15,840 Speaker 6: never brought this up to you during the football season. 979 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:19,920 Speaker 6: One of my favorite things about this past UC football 980 00:45:19,960 --> 00:45:23,279 Speaker 6: season was the fact that anytime Scott Saderfield was asked 981 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,000 Speaker 6: to reference his quarterback. 982 00:45:24,719 --> 00:45:28,200 Speaker 2: He just called him Sowarsby. Do we think that Scott 983 00:45:28,239 --> 00:45:30,120 Speaker 2: Saderfield knew his quarterbacks first name? 984 00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:33,760 Speaker 7: He probably kept calling He probably kept calling him Brandon 985 00:45:34,400 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 7: So well Tellervil did that with Brendan k Yeah.
