I think coach did a good job. 49 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 6: You know, it's his second year. When he came here, 50 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 6: the cover was totally bear, didn't have anything. He's done 51 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 6: a great job of recruiting. Nine and four is okay 52 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,520 Speaker 6: for us. You know, we wish we could have had 53 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 6: more of the Wisconsin game will forever steam because it 54 00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 6: could have changed everything. Even if we launch the Oregon 55 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 6: we still have a ten win season. But overall, I 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 6: think coach Fish did a good job. Like I said, 57 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 6: he's a great recruiter. But when you look at it, 58 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 6: you know, you have two years. You could say he's 59 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 6: okay for two years, but next year, I don't want 60 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 6: to hear about nine and four being acceptable. We should 61 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,799 Speaker 6: have ten wins next season, but coach Fish, I'll give 62 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 6: him a beat so far. 63 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 1: Greg, how about you? 64 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 5: You know it's a thin line between love and the 65 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 5: and appreciating it and then having some regrets. And you know, 66 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 5: Mario said it, that thin line was about us not 67 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 5: scoring six more points down in Wisconsin and walking away 68 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 5: with the loss. There have we won that game. You're 69 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 5: into the fourth quarter of the Oregon game thinking you 70 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 5: might have a chance to sneak into the playoffs when 71 00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 5: you do a don't you know would have been determined 72 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,839 Speaker 5: later that day, but you're in the fourth quarter thinking, hey, 73 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 5: we might have a shot. So, you know, all all 74 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 5: things being said, we're on track, We're on course. I 75 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 5: think we have to make some real improvements and we 76 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 5: have to figure out how to get better upfront in 77 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 5: the big ten to really make that big step I 78 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 5: guess from you know that back in our third tier 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 5: to get into that top tier, knowing that teams like 80 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 5: Penn State are going to try to claw back in, 81 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: you know, and teams like Iowa and all of that, 82 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 5: that we got to not only stay better than them, 83 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: but climb into next level. So I'm looking forward to 84 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 5: see what they do in the portal and hopefully we 85 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: get another step and next year, Mario's right, you know 86 00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 5: it's ten and two or you know we're going to 87 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 5: be upset. 88 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 3: I'd say third tier for me, guys, and Mario, I'm 89 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: curious what your thought is on that. I'm in Indiana, 90 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 3: Ohio State or clearly I guess we can just toss 91 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 3: in Oregon. Those three teams were clearly at the cream 92 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 3: of the crop and the Big Ten, and then you 93 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 3: got Michigan, you got USC and then Iowa, and then 94 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: you have the Huskies at five and four with Illinois 95 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: and in Minnesota. 96 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 1: So and I agree with you, Mario man. I mean, look, 97 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 1: I mean, you. 98 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 3: Give Jed Fish a little bit of a break considering 99 00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 3: what he inherited. And now it's been two years and 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: now it's time to go. You've got a lot of 101 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 3: guys back next year. We'll talk about some of the 102 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 3: guys in the portal in a minute here. But Greg 103 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 3: just mentioned the offensive line, the line of scrimmage. So 104 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: to take that next step and be in the second 105 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 3: or even top tier of the Big Ten, what does 106 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: this team need to add? 107 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,679 Speaker 1: What do they need to do better? 108 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 6: Slat out, it's just both sides of the line. Offensive 109 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 6: line always in defensive line. The Big Ten is in 110 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 6: the trenches. Defensively, you got to stop the run. You 111 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 6: gotta get some pressure on the quarterback, and offensively you 112 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 6: got to make sure you protect the quarterback and be 113 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 6: able to run the football. So first thing we got 114 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 6: to do is the line, both sides. I think we're 115 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 6: going to need a corner. We've probably lost our two 116 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 6: corners from the last year. We got some good safeties. 117 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 6: We might need a new running back, but start with 118 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 6: the line to be able to play in a Big ten. 119 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:32,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, Greg, how easily is that fixed? How quickly you 120 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 3: think can can Jedfish get that done? Because we got 121 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 3: some good news in the pregame for the LA Ball 122 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 3: right when we heard that gear In Hatchett was going 123 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,520 Speaker 3: to return, along with Landon Hatchet, along with Drew as 124 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:46,080 Speaker 3: a party obviously John Mills at left guard. So seemingly 125 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: four of your starting five offensive linemen from that game 126 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 3: are going to be back, which on the surface is 127 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 3: a good thing. Right, You've got four or five guys back, 128 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: But are they the right four guys? Just because they're 129 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 3: all returning, should all of them be given their jobs 130 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 3: next year as starters? 131 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 6: Well? 132 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 5: I think in football, unless you know, there's very rare 133 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 5: cases where anything's just given. You know, it's always a 134 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 5: matter of earning it. But I think we are very 135 00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 5: close on the offensive line. I think, especially with all 136 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 5: those guys coming back. When those people that you just 137 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 5: named were healthy last year, the Husky offense looked pretty 138 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 5: darned good. Uh. There were certainly times where at Michigan 139 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 5: and Ohio State that those guys got banged up and 140 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 5: you have to mismatch and you know, put guys in 141 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 5: different places. I think you just named four guys. We 142 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 5: got one of the best offensive recruits in the country 143 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 5: who may start as a true freshman, uh In Kobe Green, 144 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 5: and I think there's some other guys. I think the 145 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 5: big kid champ. I don't want to Butcher's name on 146 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 5: you guys know Who'm talking about the big polities and 147 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 5: kids they camp and packing now. So you have really 148 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 5: seven guys for five starting positions on your offensive line. 149 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,840 Speaker 5: So I think you're off the line can be a 150 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 5: big ten quality starting offensive line next year with all 151 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 5: the experience that they'll come back with. To me, the 152 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: defensive line is further away. You're losing some of the 153 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 5: guys that you had that played, you know as rotational 154 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 5: guys this year, and you didn't have any superstars anywhere 155 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 5: across that line, whether it was you know, on the 156 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 5: ends or in the tackle spots. And so I think 157 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: that's where you really got to make some movement and 158 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: find the guy or two, you know, one guy in 159 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 5: the middle and one guy on the edge as a 160 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 5: you know, big ten quality you know monsters up front, 161 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 5: and so for me, it's really more that defensive line 162 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 5: that's kind of focus on and get better at it. 163 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I agree with that. 164 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 3: I just yeah, look, I mean, obviously you get some 165 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 3: experience on the offensive line, Mario. You know, Jacob Lane's 166 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: back next year. Zechtor Fhi my favorite player gone at 167 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: the end of this year. But they didn't have one 168 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 3: player in the top twenty five and sacks on defense 169 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 3: last year and the Big ten which kind of was 170 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 3: made what Ryan Walters did pretty special and pretty impressive. 171 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 3: So I feel like as long as they've got Ryan Walters, 172 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 3: their defense should be okay because of their scheme. But 173 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,320 Speaker 3: it's funny that we've been sitting here for five minutes 174 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 3: talking about how this team will take the next step, 175 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 3: and nobody's mentioned Demon Williams playing better football. Yet it's 176 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 3: always been about the offensive line, the defensive line, the 177 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage. What about number two? How much more 178 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: does number two have to improve? How much more can 179 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 3: he improve? Mario for this team to make the playoff 180 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 3: next season. 181 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 6: Well, he is the one and he has to make 182 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 6: it happen. He has to take the next step. I know, 183 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 6: me and Greg have talked about from your sophomore year 184 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 6: to your junior year, that jump that you make. He 185 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 6: got to start. He got to start over twelve games. 186 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 6: Now he has this seat where he should be able 187 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 6: to do what we thought he would do this year. 188 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 6: And like I said, he must see TV. But he 189 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 6: has to be able to stand in the pocket. And 190 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 6: if he can't stand in the pocket, then coach has 191 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 6: to do a better job of getting out the pocket 192 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 6: to throw the ball. We have to be able to 193 00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,760 Speaker 6: throw the ball downfield. It can't be deank and dunk, 194 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 6: and we have to have some more runs for the guy. 195 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 6: We can't sit up here next season and every game 196 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 6: we'd be worried about him getting hurt. Everybody that plays football, 197 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,199 Speaker 6: you're always going to be concerned with him getting hurt. 198 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 6: We're concerned with taking the next level and Demon Williams 199 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 6: didn't play good in all of the games that we lost, 200 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 6: So we need him to take that next step and 201 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 6: I look forward to him taking it. 202 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: Greg. 203 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think you know beating it to death. You know, 204 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: we've been on the record saying that demand is the 205 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 5: catalyst and the key, and that he has to take 206 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 5: a big step, not just a step, but a big 207 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 5: step in my opinion. But I don't think it's just 208 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 5: on Demand. I think him and his coach have to 209 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 5: get on the same page and understand what plays are 210 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 5: best for Demand, what type of offense is going to 211 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,319 Speaker 5: be best suited to his skill set. You know, how 212 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,800 Speaker 5: do we get him outside of the pocket and throwing 213 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 5: you know, downfield? Because you know, he's not a tall guy, 214 00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 5: so being in the pocket can be a detriment. And 215 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 5: then when you get outside of the pocket and extend plays, 216 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: the secondary breaks down. So how do we get him 217 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 5: out there? And then how do we use his athleticism 218 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 5: and show every game that he's the best person on 219 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 5: the field and make defense is extremely afraid and make 220 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 5: them have to do things differently. So I think it's 221 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 5: not just Demand getting better, but it's him and his 222 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 5: coach being better together on what makes him a great 223 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 5: quarterback and how to use him and what offense to run. 224 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 5: So I think Jet Fish in that sense has to 225 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 5: get better as well. 226 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just Mario looking at some of the numbers 227 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: for Demand, and I mean, obviously the numbers don't tell 228 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 3: the entire story. But the guy ended up thirty yards 229 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 3: in the big ten, fourth and touchdowns, fifth and yards 230 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 3: per attempt and fourth and passer rating. And the guys 231 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:38,959 Speaker 3: that are all ahead of him either won the Heisman 232 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 3: Trophy or are in the playoff like Dante Moore and. 233 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: Julian saying so. 234 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: And then you had the rushing totals obviously for Demand 235 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 3: Williams like I ran for six hundred yards and six 236 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: more touchdowns. So how much of this is just simple Mario? 237 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,640 Speaker 3: For Demand, that man, you've got to be able to 238 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,319 Speaker 3: just simply put play better against the better teams and 239 00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: play better on the road. 240 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 1: End of the story, Let's not make this hard. 241 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 6: No, I'm not necessarily sure. I think what a little 242 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 6: bit of what Greg said is what we have to do. 243 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 6: Like him and Coach Sis have to be on the 244 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 6: same page. Coach siss is the play caller, and I 245 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 6: always talk about the best offensive coordinators know how to 246 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 6: get their playmakers the ball and figure out ways. Well, 247 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,560 Speaker 6: if he's the great play caller, then he should know 248 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 6: by now two seasons with Demand what works best for him, 249 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,839 Speaker 6: whether it's getting him out of the pocket, whether it's 250 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 6: running him, it's whether it's RPOs like it shouldn't be 251 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 6: like this, big letdown from the big kind games to 252 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 6: just running over opponents like we did in Boise State. 253 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 6: There has to be something different, So I don't think 254 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 6: it's that simple. 255 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, Greg, the running game obviously was a downer 256 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 3: right this year for a myriad pletreau of reasons, injuries, 257 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 3: lack of commitment to the run game, whatever you want 258 00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 3: to talk about. Now, Jonah Coleman's gone, and now Adam 259 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 3: Mohammad is in the tree for portal after only having 260 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 3: two carries against Poise State in the ballgame when he 261 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:06,920 Speaker 3: was kind of the guy in the last couple of 262 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 3: games of the regular season, when Jonah Coleman got banged up. 263 00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 3: I mean, how surprised Warria that he got two carries 264 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 3: in the ball game and then put his name in 265 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: the portal. 266 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I'm a little surprised. I thought that, 267 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 5: you know, him only getting a few carries was just 268 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 5: the coach believing that he's solid. You know, we don't 269 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 5: have to do anything special for Adam. We can allow 270 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 5: our senior to go out and have a you know, 271 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 5: a big game in his final hurrah, because you know, 272 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 5: we're in good with the guy who's going to be 273 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 5: the starter next year, and you know, regardless of what 274 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 5: happened this year, Adam is leaving the year before, he 275 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 5: is going to be the guy, right, So there's obviously 276 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 5: something more than football at stake here. 277 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 6: You know. 278 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 5: I don't want to put words in anyone's about I 279 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 5: don't want to speculate necessarily, but this has to be 280 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,439 Speaker 5: related to more than just football, because he showed down 281 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 5: a stretch and frankly, all the things we were complaining 282 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 5: about think about this guy, about not running the ball, 283 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 5: not getting the running back to the ball that much, 284 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 5: all that changed with Ada Muhammad took over as a starter. 285 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 5: I mean, he was getting the ball, he was getting 286 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 5: the hundred yard games. So this isn't necessarily a football 287 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 5: related decision only so I don't know why the young 288 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 5: man is jumping too portal, you know, to nowadays we're 289 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 5: going to all say nil, or maybe he doesn't like 290 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 5: maybe he's from Arizona. Maybe he's tired of his damn reign. 291 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 5: I'm tired of it. I don't know, but it is 292 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: surprising to me that he's leaving, especially when the offense was, 293 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 5: you know, in those last few games, giving him the 294 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 5: touch it and he needed other than the Bowl Game, 295 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 5: and I thought that was just you know, we got him. 296 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 5: He's solid. So let's get Jonah to go out on 297 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 5: top and maybe let the young guy who's not going 298 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 5: to be the starter next year, who's going to still 299 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,360 Speaker 5: be a backup, get him a couple of carries so 300 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 5: he'll feel good too and not transfer. So, you know, 301 00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 5: a little bit mind bothering, but hey, that's the world 302 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,000 Speaker 5: we live in. It got a great freshman running back 303 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,560 Speaker 5: recruit coming in that everybody's excited about out of the 304 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 5: state of California. Kid needs to put on a little 305 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 5: more size. It's about one hundred and eighty five pounds 306 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,359 Speaker 5: right now, but man, can he run. He's run hard, 307 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 5: he's you know, built well compact, so you know, we'll 308 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 5: see you know, it's definitely gonna be a running back. 309 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 5: And I think Washington has shown that, you know, with 310 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 5: his speed and his ability to make some guys miss 311 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 5: that he'll be, you know, poise the contribute next year 312 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 5: as well. 313 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not that concerned Mario about the running back room. 314 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 3: I think you can find a running back. You can 315 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 3: find whatever the hell you want in the portal obviously, 316 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 3: but you know, look, they don't make anything public with 317 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 3: these nil salaries. You know, when a player resigns, they 318 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 3: announce something on social media. But this is not like 319 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 3: the NFL, where you can go online and look up 320 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 3: and see what guys are making. And I mean it's 321 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 3: hard not as a fan to surmise and speculate that 322 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 3: Adam Muhammad is putting this name in the portal Mario 323 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 3: because Husky's aren't paying him what he thinks he's worth. 324 00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: Period. 325 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 6: I feel like there's gotta be a number of reasons, 326 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 6: Like Greg talked about us giving him the ball, like 327 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 6: I felt in an organ game like we shut him 328 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 6: down and he should have got the ball at least 329 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 6: twenty times that game, or more like he was the 330 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 6: one carrying us and they stopped giving him the ball. 331 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 6: And then you go in the bowl game, like I 332 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:26,360 Speaker 6: understand loyalty to our running back Coleman, but man, we're 333 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 6: going into a new season, like we got to take 334 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 6: care of the guy who's gonna be here next year. 335 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 6: There's got to be a point where we say Adam 336 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 6: Muhammad is our guy. I'm sorry, Jonah, you've been hurt, 337 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 6: but we got to go with Adam Muhammad. And I 338 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 6: felt like the last two games, he didn't get the 339 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 6: ball enough. But they're always money, like I always told you, 340 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 6: and Greg's I'll feel like, hey, if somebody offered me 341 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 6: some more money, I would probably leave because it's about 342 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 6: taking care of your family because the NFL is not guaranteed. 343 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I got it, guys. Again, I totally understand it. 344 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 3: For a ninety nine point nine nine percent of these kids, Greg, 345 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 3: this might be the height of their earning power as 346 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,800 Speaker 3: an athlete, right because they'll never make it in the 347 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 3: NFL and this might be the last time in their 348 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 3: life to go out and get some money. And I mean, 349 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 3: do we think that's behind what's going on with Rayd 350 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:17,280 Speaker 3: and vines Bright and his transfer? Does he see the 351 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,040 Speaker 3: kids they're bringing in through the portal? Does he see 352 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 3: the kids they brought in in their high school recruiting class, 353 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: and just say, I don't want to have to compete 354 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 3: for anything. I want to go somewhere where I'm the 355 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 3: guy automatically. So I can, you know, you know, keep 356 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 3: my earning power where it's at. Right now, it's hard 357 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 3: to even get a real feel for next year when 358 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 3: we're sitting here not having any damn clue. 359 00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: Greg with this roster is going to look like, Yeah. 360 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 5: I mean it is hard for us as fans to 361 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,920 Speaker 5: kind of wrap our brains around all of this because 362 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: this is not what we watched for the last one 363 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 5: hundred plus years. You know, all of those that haven't 364 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 5: been around that long, just me, But you know, as 365 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 5: football fans, watching football change like this is kind of weird, 366 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 5: and it's it's it's tough, and you know, we don't 367 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 5: know what the team is going to look like. This 368 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,639 Speaker 5: still might be a few more, but you know, I 369 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 5: think this this coaching staff has done a really good 370 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 5: job of keeping as many core guys and important guys 371 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 5: as possible. And those that are leaving, you know, I 372 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 5: wish them well, but you know they're no longer on 373 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 5: my radar. Why they're leaving, I don't, you know, I 374 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 5: can't speculate what's in the kid's heart. I cannot sit 375 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 5: here and say he didn't want to compete, you know, 376 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 5: that would be unfair of me. And I can't sit 377 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 5: here and say it's all about the money. But all 378 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,120 Speaker 5: of those things are things that you know, fans and us, 379 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,239 Speaker 5: you know, we speculate on and we think about. I 380 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,640 Speaker 5: guess the kid just has to do what's best for him. 381 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 5: I'm you know, I can say this if I was 382 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 5: in this era and I was making a decision whether 383 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 5: to come back my senior year and it was a 384 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,719 Speaker 5: different amount of money. If it's a you know, like 385 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 5: Marl said, if it's a big difference, you know, I'm 386 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 5: probably gonna consider it. If it's not a huge difference, 387 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 5: then you know, I probably you know, I'm loyal ish 388 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,439 Speaker 5: this to my program because you know, I wanted to 389 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,199 Speaker 5: come to you up for a reason. So you know, 390 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,199 Speaker 5: all those things are you know, factors that you have 391 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 5: to consider, and no one knows what they would do 392 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,320 Speaker 5: until they're in that situation. 393 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: Now for sure. 394 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 3: Well Greg Lewis Mario Bailey with us guys real quick, 395 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: we'll just wrap it up with this because I remember 396 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,120 Speaker 3: when Kaylen was here kind of right around this point 397 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 3: in time, right a couple of years ago in twenty 398 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 3: twenty three, we were talking about him being the next 399 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 3: DJ and being here for a long time. He's a 400 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 3: Midwest guy's personality seems to fit Seattle, right, I mean, 401 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: this is seems like a great marriage. And then you know, 402 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: a month later the guy was gone for Alabama. So 403 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,200 Speaker 3: how would you characterize Mario? We'll start with you and 404 00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: Greg you can wrap it up. How would you characterize Mario? 405 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 1: Your belief, your. 406 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,440 Speaker 3: Prediction, I guess if you will for what the future 407 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 3: at Washington looks like down the road for Jetfish. 408 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 6: Man, I'm gonna have to say this because I feel 409 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,479 Speaker 6: like mine's is tainted because it's just a about the 410 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 6: word that I hear about coach fists around town. I 411 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 6: don't really know Coach Fish like that. I've seen him 412 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,639 Speaker 6: a few times, met him, had a few conversations, so 413 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 6: I can't say. But everybody I talk to says he's 414 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 6: out of here at the first chance he gets. So 415 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 6: that's how I view it, That's what I look at. 416 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 6: I'm hoping that's not the case. But everybody I talk 417 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 6: to doesn't feel like he's the type of guy that's 418 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,639 Speaker 6: going to stay here for ten years. He's looking for 419 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:28,240 Speaker 6: the next best opportunity. So I'm thinking Coach Fish would 420 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,159 Speaker 6: be gone because I think Coach Fish will be successful 421 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 6: here at Washington in the next year or two and 422 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 6: then they'll have to be gone. 423 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, and if we can benefit from that, okay, fine, 424 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 3: that might just be the new wave of college football. 425 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:43,480 Speaker 5: Coaches, Greg, I'll say you, I would say people are 426 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 5: looking for the next down James or that kind of scenario. 427 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 5: Or let's look at the coach from Utah who just 428 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 5: decided to retire. If you're looking for that, that's not 429 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 5: realistic anymore unless it's at a program like Alabama or 430 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,760 Speaker 5: you know, Michigan, LSU somewhere where it's a blue, blue, 431 00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: blue blood program where they're always going to get you 432 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:05,880 Speaker 5: everything you need. The resource is gonna always be there, 433 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 5: the fans are gonna always show up, whether you're winning 434 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 5: or losing or whatever happens. It lets us that scenario. 435 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 5: You're not gonna see coaches stand anywhere for sixteen, seventeen, 436 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 5: eighteen years. It's just not reality, just like the kids 437 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 5: and the nil and the transfer. So I don't think 438 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 5: anyone's gonna do that. Coach Fish included, I do believe 439 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 5: that he's committed to building this program and winning and 440 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 5: being successful here, and we'll enjoy that as long as 441 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 5: he's here. And then when he's gone, he moves to 442 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 5: that next step, we'll have to hope we can find 443 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 5: another person to do the same thing. 444 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. All right, guys, listen, great stuff this year. 445 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 3: I appreciate both the you know, Like I said, Gene 446 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 3: asked me there today what I wanted for the holidays, 447 00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 3: when I. 448 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 1: Said, I don't need anything. 449 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 3: I've got the relationship and the friendships of Mario Bailey 450 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,479 Speaker 3: and Greg Lewis, and that's enough for me. So you 451 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 3: guys enjoy it. Man, all right, have a great Christmas 452 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 3: and we'll talk soon.

But they're 482 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 3: telling us there's going to be like some hurricane Wins 483 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 3: hitting the Seattle area tonight. Looking for a generator, call 484 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 3: my friends at Genera Tech gen Tech Washington dot com. 485 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: Very easy to remember. 486 00:22:31,359 --> 00:22:34,119 Speaker 3: Visit gen Tech Washington dot com and they'll set you 487 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 3: up with a standby generator from Genera Tech. 488 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:38,959 Speaker 1: Ah, it's very very telling. 489 00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:43,239 Speaker 3: I guess Jackson, how few people around the NFL are 490 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 3: defending DK Metcalf for what happened in Detroit over the weekend, 491 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,720 Speaker 3: and I am kind of finding myself as one of 492 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 3: the few that aren't defending him per se, but maybe 493 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 3: kind of understanding where he's coming from a little bit. 494 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,560 Speaker 3: And I say this because we got a couple texts 495 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: yesterday to this radio station, you know what I'm talking about, 496 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 3: that were very very nasty, very very nasty from people 497 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 3: that were going after DK Metcalf. So imagine you and 498 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: I sitting here looking at a computer screen and are 499 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 3: discussed seeing this stuff and then being in DK metcalf 500 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 3: shoes and actually hearing potentially things like that in person 501 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 3: from fifty yards away. So again, I think two truths 502 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 3: can exist at the same time. DK Metcalf was out 503 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: of line for what he did. He cannot do that. 504 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 3: You cannot go over and you cannot put your hands 505 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 3: on a fan, You can't put your hands on a referee, 506 00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 3: and you can't put your hands on a fan. 507 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: End of story, end of discussion. 508 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: But I also feel like I understand, potentially, if what 509 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,679 Speaker 3: was actually said was said, why DK Metcalf reacted the 510 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: way he did. 511 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 4: I think the second point, nobody's disagreeing with that. I mean, 512 00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 4: obviously it's very contingent on what did he say. If 513 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 4: he said something racial, softie, then not a single person 514 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 4: out there is going to disagree with what you're playing. 515 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: Absolutely, the two things are gonna be true. 516 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,959 Speaker 4: The only the only thing that really matters here is 517 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 4: which one is more true. Is it more true that 518 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 4: you can understand DK Metcalf, you know, being angry about 519 00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 4: hearing something racial, or is it more true that you 520 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 4: can't hit a fan? And I think that's where I'm 521 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 4: and many many other people are on the former, which 522 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:35,600 Speaker 4: is very simply. 523 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: You're paid thirty million dollars a year. 524 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 4: You're paid, and every player is paid millions of dollars. 525 00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 4: Most players are paid millions of dollars. Why is it 526 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:48,119 Speaker 4: that he here's the thing, and then go has to 527 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: re when clearly this he isn't the only one getting 528 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 4: yelled at, very nasty, nasty thing. So so man, DK, 529 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 4: other players can can contain themselves and just be internally angry. 530 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 4: Let into the right ways. You need to do that 531 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 4: as well. I get it, and you know what, I 532 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 4: agree with that. And if we were to do like 533 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 4: a bracket of the number one thing at the top 534 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,240 Speaker 4: of the pyramid. Regarding this conversation, don't put your hands 535 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,639 Speaker 4: on a fan would be number one. It'd be the 536 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 4: number one seed, all right. 537 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,240 Speaker 3: On one side, you've got an idiot, jerk, neanderthal, meathead, 538 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 3: loudmouth fan barkin, god knows what versus in this corner, 539 00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,679 Speaker 3: don't put your hands on a fan, right, and the 540 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 3: heavyweight champion defending champ is don't put your hands on 541 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 3: a fan, and don't put your hands on a fan 542 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 3: just won the title in a freaking knockout in the 543 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 3: second round. I get that, but that other side does exist, 544 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 3: and I just do wonder how many people out there 545 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,960 Speaker 3: are even remotely interested Jackson in having that conversation, having 546 00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 3: that side of the conversation, because there's this video now 547 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 3: that's going around social media where apparently this guy or 548 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 3: somebody else related to him whatever said something along the 549 00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 3: lines of we got him right, like we meant to 550 00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 3: do that. We came to the game to purposely instigate 551 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 3: DK Metcalf. We know he's a short, fused guy, we 552 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 3: know he's got sensitive skin, and we know that we 553 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,240 Speaker 3: can get underneath his skin and piss him off and 554 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,440 Speaker 3: mission accomplished, and that pisces me off. Yeah, that pisces 555 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 3: me off that fans are like that, and it pissses 556 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,360 Speaker 3: me off even more if this is the same schmuck 557 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 3: that's been following him around for four years. 558 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 4: Which I mean clearly was talked about that DK Metcalf 559 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 4: has had interactions with this guy before, Yeah, and he's 560 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 4: reported him. Right, So let's let's let's say something very 561 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 4: obvious and very true right now that I think absolutely 562 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 4: we are divided country. 563 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,920 Speaker 1: We can all agree on this. 564 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 4: Sure that fan, if that fan went there and the 565 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,720 Speaker 4: video's true and made it clear that my my whole 566 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:59,720 Speaker 4: obs you know, my whole goal here today is to 567 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 4: get DK Metcalf to react. Right then that dude is 568 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 4: a loser, scumbag who can stay out of every NFL 569 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 4: stadium right the rest of his gun life. 570 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 3: And DK Metcalf also should not have reacted the way 571 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 3: he absolutely thousand percent, And if I ever saw that guy, 572 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 3: I would look at him and say, you know what, 573 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,440 Speaker 3: you're a jackass. You're a total jackass. You're an embarrassment, 574 00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: and you're a jackass. And I just think, I don't know, Jackson, 575 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:21,920 Speaker 3: I don't. 576 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 1: Know what it is. I don't know if it's just 577 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 1: the world that we live in now. 578 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:28,639 Speaker 3: Maybe it's politics, Maybe it's certain people just opening up 579 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 3: the floodgates, right, but people seem to be just way 580 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:36,159 Speaker 3: more brazen now than they've ever been, way more willing 581 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 3: to run their mouth, both in person and on social media, 582 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,359 Speaker 3: hide behind screen names, do things anonymously and with their 583 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:47,119 Speaker 3: own name, right.
