1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: Five six six ninety Zeros are Kawekmas spirit Hill text line. Well,

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: if Shelby Harris joining us here after four thirty, rod

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 1: Smith is studio after five.

4
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: In the meantime though again five six six nine zero.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: If you want to interact with us, frankin Texas says,

6
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 1: broiled vegetables you dislike like cauliflower, it makes it tolerable. Alright,

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: So did to try? Yeah, Like I said, I actually

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,240
Speaker 1: tend to like most vegetables. It just turns out russell

9
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 1: sprouts are and I really want of them. I think

10
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: it's more the smell. They smell like feet to me.

11
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: That's the same way for you guys. Anyways, I do

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: want to rerack the AFC after week twelve here in

13
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: just a second and sort of discuss where the Broncos

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 1: sits amongst those teams.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,919
Speaker 2: Currently their second right behind the.

16
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: New England Patriots who are ten and two, but the

17
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: New England Patriots still have an experience their bye week.

18
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,839
Speaker 1: The Broncos are coming out of their bye week, so

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,479
Speaker 1: the opportunity there to obviously catch them. They have some

20
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 1: tie breakers currently on New England, so we'll see if

21
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: they I mean, they don't have the conference one anymore.

22
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 1: They both have a six and two conference record, but

23
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: a lot to be played out between now and then.

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: But von Miller, this was really fun sound from earlier.

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 1: This was a via his podcast. I want to say

26
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: it is. Let me see if I can find the

27
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: name really quick. Free Range is the podcast name. So

28
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: here was von Miller, who of course the Broncos are

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 1: going to be seeing on Sunday nights, talking about how

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 1: he reached out to George Peyton in the offseason about

31
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: coming back to the Broncos.

32
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 3: I was creating for a long time.

33
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 4: I did reach out to the Denver Broncos, and you know,

34
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 4: I tried to be on the Denver Broncos as well.

35
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 4: But it was just a short conversation with me and

36
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: George Peyton because at the same time, you know, I

37
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: want to be a GEM and I think that's that's

38
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,960
Speaker 4: not a secret. Whenever I look at teams, I'm looking

39
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 4: at it from a GM perspective, and it just wasn't

40
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 4: a fit for von Miller to be on this team.

41
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 4: The second string guys after Nigga Benito and after Jonathan Cooper,

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 4: those guys get sacks too, and I think they both

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 4: had five sacks each, and they both played special teams and.

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 3: They do all the grunt work. You know, me, I'm

45
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: a three point shooter. I'm gonna come in.

46
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 4: I'm gonna shoot at three point like when I'm in

47
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: the game, like I'm ball hog and I'm just trying

48
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 4: to make it play and they take me out.

49
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 3: But they didn't.

50
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 2: They didn't really need that, you know, they didn't really

51
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: need that.

52
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 3: This year.

53
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: They had guys that shot the three, that came off

54
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: the bench. So who knows what it looked like this

55
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 4: coming up year.

56
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:19,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think to the point, and that's really good

57
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,399
Speaker 1: insight there for Vaughn and being aware of where he's

58
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: at in his career and what he'd be adding to

59
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 1: this team. And we had this discussion of this offseason

60
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: and it seems like he was a free agent for

61
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: quite some time about whether or not von Miller made

62
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: sense to come back here to Denver, even if it

63
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: was a reasonable contract price. But as the Broncos have

64
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: said and maintained on multiple positions that they really like

65
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: their starters, they liked their depth. They were preparing to

66
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: pay Nick Benito, which they obviously ended up doing. It

67
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: would have been more of if you brought Von Miller here,

68
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: maybe some uncertainty about Nick Benito as a long term

69
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: starter for the team, but of course now we're on

70
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 1: the other side of that, and he's very clearly a

71
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: not only a starting caliber outside linebacker, but also one

72
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: of the top tier top ten guys in the league,

73
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: and he's gonna put this team in a conversation of well,

74
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: at least on the defensive side of the ball, as

75
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: one of the best defense is one of the best

76
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: edge rush groups in the league every single year, so

77
00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,839
Speaker 1: that you're excited about the future of that edge rush

78
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: group because you're still getting more out of Jonah Ellis.

79
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: Hopefully he's able to come back and play this weekend.

80
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: He's been dealing with, I believe a hamstring or a quad.

81
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: You're also you like DeAndre Tillman. He's had a couple

82
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: of nice moments and leads the team and interceptions. That's

83
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: kind of a weird stat for an edge rusher, but

84
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: you like that group overall.

85
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: An interesting moment was Sean Payton.

86
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Like, as we're talking about players to add or what

87
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: the offseason has looked like during the bye week, when

88
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: they gave Will LUTs a three year contract extension. We

89
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: heard from Sean Payton that they had actually reached out

90
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: and started talking about some other players that they could

91
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: potentially give extensions to, and of course a lot lot

92
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: of names come up, John Franklin Myers, I think, being

93
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: one of the top ones. Alex Singleton is in that conversation,

94
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 1: justin Sharnad, Malcolm Roach, even center Luke Wattenberg, and I

95
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: love that they're doing this.

96
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: I think that bye week is a good time to.

97
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Assess those situations because you're heading into the final six

98
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 1: games of the season.

99
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: If you could lock up some of these guys right

100
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: now and not have.

101
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 1: To worry about contending with other NFL teams that are

102
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,360
Speaker 1: in the market for these positions, I'm kind of inclined

103
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: to do that. I think one of the very interesting

104
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: ones besides John Franklin Myers, who I think is kind

105
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: of the top of the list, I think of players

106
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: that a lot of Broncos fans would like to see

107
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 1: back here in Denver. And of course you have to

108
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: project out what the free agent class looks like. I

109
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: kind of wonder if Luke Wattenberg will be a name

110
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: they consider keeping. And I didn't feel that was going

111
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: to be the case when we were entering the season

112
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: and talking about next year's drafts, and I still think

113
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 1: I maintain an interior offensive line and maybe even an

114
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: offensive tackle that is gonna be something that they're going

115
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: to be looking at. I would imagine tight end and

116
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: wide receiver of course are in that maybe even running

117
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: back again. Offense needs to be addressed, especially when you

118
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: talk about the draft.

119
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: But you know, you may take.

120
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: A look at free agent centers or even the draft

121
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 1: class or centers. And I don't know it off the

122
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: top of my head right now because I haven't really

123
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 1: dug into the drafts as much as I usually do

124
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: until after the season. But you may look at it

125
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 1: and project out and say, I don't see a starting

126
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: center or somebody we can plug in or that we're

127
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: going to take on Day one or Day two in

128
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: this draft class. Now, what's the price tag? Like if

129
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: Luke Wattenberg is top ten money, well then maybe that's

130
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: a little too much. Like Lloyd Cushionberry was the highest

131
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: paid center of all time when he went to the

132
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans.

133
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: Well that's great for Lloyd Cushionberry.

134
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: That wasn't something that the Broncos felt like they could

135
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: afford at the time, and then, of course, in part

136
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: because they paid other offensive line positions. But if you

137
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: end up, I don't know, maybe moving on from Ben Powers,

138
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: let's just say that that might be something you end

139
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: up doing. Well, now you have a hole there left guard,

140
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: maybe Alex Peltchewski is your guy, and you feel pretty

141
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: good about that. Okay, So you have a little bit

142
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: of a deal in place there because he's on a

143
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: rookie wage scale, right undrafted player. But then you're obviously

144
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 1: paying left tackle. You're probably still paying right tackle. I imagine

145
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: Mike Mclinch's probably gonna be here for at least another

146
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: year or so. And then of course you're paying Quinn minors.

147
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: So can you afford to pay all of them? Probably not,

148
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,039
Speaker 1: But can you pay afford to pay four out of five,

149
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: let's just for arguments sake, Palchevski's the guy that's on

150
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: the deal, and then you gotta pay Wattenberg. So you

151
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 1: just sort of project all that out. But I did

152
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 1: wonder when Sean Payton said that, Well, first of all,

153
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: who are the names of the players that they're trying

154
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: to get done? And then of course, we got the

155
00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:03,159
Speaker 1: report from I think Chris Thomason saying that Franklin Myers

156
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: was not one of the names that was reached out to,

157
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: at least according to him over the bye week, which

158
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: I know a lot of Broncos fans continue to pound

159
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: the table that John Franklin Myers should be a higher priority,

160
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: and I'm not disagreeing with that, but there is.

161
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: A sense eventually that you cannot pay everybody.

162
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 1: So maybe you view a deal for Malcolm Roach, for example,

163
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 1: after you've already paid DJ Jones, after you've already paid

164
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:33,240
Speaker 1: Zach Allen, that's that's the better bank than trying to

165
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: give John Franklin Myers a multi year contract. It's wigh

166
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: all these kinds of things out. But again, you're projecting

167
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 1: out to the free agent class and you're wondering, Okay,

168
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: what's that class look like, and how can we ultimately

169
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: maximize by keeping our guys. And the Broncos have shown

170
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: that with George Payton and with Sean Payton, the provincity

171
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 1: to want to keep their own guys here in the building.

172
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: And it's obviously paid evidence. You were able to hit

173
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: the ground running more or less this year on its

174
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: that I think for a lot of Broncos fans out

175
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: there expected it to be another stepping stone to twenty

176
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: twenty six. A lot of us have been talking about

177
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: that here locally for a while, saying twenty twenty six

178
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 1: is really when you're gonna be targeting.

179
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 2: The Broncos.

180
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: Got the beginning of a run here, and here we

181
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: are at nine and two with the chance to take

182
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: to one seed and may make you run now. You

183
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,080
Speaker 1: gotta take it. You absolutely have to take it if

184
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 1: nothing else. Learn from what happened with Washington this year,

185
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: and nothing is guaranteed next year. Many teams, Cincinnati Bengals

186
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: talk about them every so often with Grant Smith here.

187
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals is another example of a team that you

188
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: just can't ever bank on everything being status quo the

189
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: next year, everything being the same, health being the same.

190
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,199
Speaker 2: Take a run now, and I sure hope they are.

191
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 2: I expect they will.

192
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 1: The Bronco's hoping Dondree Tellman, along with the rest of

193
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: that edge groups edgdroup is gonna have success against Marcus

194
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: Mariota on Sunday night again. Our cover starts at nine

195
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 1: am on Sunday. We'll have Shelby Harris who got half

196
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:11,959
Speaker 1: a sack. I thought he had a full sack, but

197
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: he had a half a sack in the ten sack

198
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 1: performance of the Cleveland Browns Shidor Sanders debut. We'll talk

199
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: to Shelby coming up about all that here in about

200
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: ten minutes Rod Smithson Studio at five o'clock. We'll get

201
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: to that coming up here in just a little bit

202
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: again five six, six, nine zeros or ka comments spread

203
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 1: out text line.

204
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: So I went to for a moment sort of.

205
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 1: Re rack the AFC after we had all the performances

206
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 1: we did over the weekend week twelve. So now the

207
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Patriots did at ten and two, of the Broncos nine two.

208
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Colts are eight and three after the loss of the Chiefs.

209
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: The Ravens have now vaulted into the fourth seed with

210
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: their win. Something's not quite right about Baltimore, but they

211
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: did find a way to beat the Jets.

212
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 2: They're now six and five. The LA Chargers or seven

213
00:09:58,840 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 2: and four.

214
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: They were also in a by the Jacksonville Jaguars are

215
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: seven and four, Buffalo Bills are seven and four, Houston

216
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 1: six and five, Pittsburgh six and five, and the Kansas City.

217
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: Chiefs despite the win.

218
00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: They are the ten seed as we're sitting here today,

219
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: so they're six and five as well. Lots of play

220
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 1: out and of course, as we mentioned, Kansas City already

221
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: has losses to the Buffalo Bills, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and

222
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,679
Speaker 1: the LA Chargers. Of course they have the Chargers again

223
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: coming upon their schedule. It's a big game really for

224
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: both teams. But as we sit here today, the tie

225
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: breakers are not good both the Kansas City Chiefs, but

226
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: a lot of people, as we had read that text earlier,

227
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: are afraid of them. There's a podcast, and I want

228
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: to shout out my guy Nick Kendall here who found this,

229
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:44,360
Speaker 1: but I did.

230
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: I went and listened to the podcast.

231
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:53,560
Speaker 1: They ranked their AFC contenders one through four and they

232
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: gave an honorable mention to the Texans at five, and

233
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: the Broncos were not on this list. It was the Chiefs, Bills, Patriots,

234
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: and Colts was the order that they put together on

235
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: this podcast. Now, this isn't a rant against national media,

236
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: and how dare you leave.

237
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 2: Off the Broncos.

238
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 1: It's a little bit of a bummer, But once again,

239
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: if they just keep winning, that'll all sort itself out.

240
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 1: I understand from their advantage, trying to understand from their

241
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: advantage anyways, why they would not consider the Broncos in

242
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: that conversation, even though they sit at the two seed

243
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: right now and the Chiefs, who they have the number

244
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: one team on here, are the ten seed right now.

245
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: But a lot of that has to do with with vibes.

246
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: Don't play the drop, and a lot of that has

247
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: to do with quarterback play, And honestly, it's just so

248
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: much of what we deem when we talk about contenders,

249
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: we talk about the best teams in the league. Yeah,

250
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean the vibes, I said, don't play the Yeah,

251
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: I mean the vibes. I'm starting to think I'm getting

252
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: the bent al Bright treatment here. Makes me a little nervous.

253
00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: Anyway, So.

254
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: The quarterback play has been inconsistent, It has not been

255
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:07,600
Speaker 1: good enough. It was funny and we'll play this sound

256
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit later with Rod. When Vance Joseph

257
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,000
Speaker 1: did a podcast with our guy big Al and CJ

258
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: on Guerrilla Sports, he said that Bodix is gonna be

259
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: the next to John Elway for the Broncos, and he

260
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,439
Speaker 1: gave his reasons, and we'll get into that in a

261
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: little bit but it's like, well, you know, Sean had

262
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: some struggles early on, but you saw enough upside there

263
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: that you said, Okay, well yeah, I mean you spent

264
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: one of the top draft picks, the top draft pick, right,

265
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he was traded.

266
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,719
Speaker 2: But you know understand my point, Like it's the first

267
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: overall quarterback.

268
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: There's a lot of leeway early on in those careers

269
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: because you feel as though it's an investment and you

270
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: have to make that investment good.

271
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: You have to get the most out of it, almost ROI.

272
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: In this case, it's the twelfth overall pick for Bonix,

273
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: still first rounder, but it's a little different. What if

274
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 1: it is though, that Bodics will get a little bit

275
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: of leash here. I guess I'm more interested to see

276
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 1: what that transformation looks like, not only in this final

277
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,560
Speaker 1: stretch and whatever this season ends up playing out, but

278
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: even into next year. Because it's not enough if you're

279
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: gonna be that guy, a franchise guy, it's not enough

280
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 1: to have one off years. A lot of quarterbacks have

281
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 1: one off spectacular years. Nick Foles is an example that

282
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: pops to mind that had a one off spectacular year

283
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: ended up getting a couple contracts actually out of it,

284
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: and it ended up being a high end backup for many,

285
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: many years, including helping the Eagles win the Super Bowl

286
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: as a backup. Point of it is is like you

287
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,560
Speaker 1: see these one off seasons, bo Nicks has to be

288
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: more than that. If you're gonna be in that conversation

289
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: and let's just sort of scratch out the franchise John

290
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: Elway Hall of Famer, gracet of all Time conversation. Let's

291
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: just say, hey, can he just be a quarterback that

292
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,079
Speaker 1: we know is the guy and you don't think about

293
00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: even in the back of your head, we might need

294
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: to be looking at quarter back next year. So I

295
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 1: want to see that down the stretch, no doubt, no

296
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: doubt about that. But then even into next year, can

297
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: he continue to build off of it and continue to

298
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: get better. We saw what we thought was maybe a

299
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 1: couple of steps back software slups feels extreme. We saw

300
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: a couple of steps as though he wasn't taking steps forward.

301
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: But if those two steps back end up leading to

302
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: three steps forward, well then I think we're all good

303
00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 1: with it. It just needs to happen eventually, and hopefully

304
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: down the stretch here when they're playing some very very

305
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: meaningful games. You've not won or arrived at anything. As

306
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 1: we're reacting the AFC, this is all subject to change.

307
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say they're gonna Crater ended up going

308
00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: nine and eight on the season.

309
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 2: They're not gonna lose six straight.

310
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: But if you go three and three, well, it's a

311
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: good season, right, it's twelve and five. You take that

312
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: may not be enough for the number one seed, and

313
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: it might be just enough to make the AFC West. Well,

314
00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: we probably take that. But how do keep playing those games?

315
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 1: That's gonna be such a huge talking point as it

316
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: relates to the people that are so skeptical about bo Nicks.

317
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: We'll get into that coming up here on the top

318
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:12,520
Speaker 1: of the hour with Rod Smith. But when we come back,

319
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: Shelby Harris fresh off of big win for the for

320
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns over the Las Vegas Raiders.

321
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 2: We'll wait to that next Heyway Common's weird health.

322
00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: High line and bring on Shelby Harris. Part of the

323
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 1: ten sack performance of the Cleveland Browns on Sunday was

324
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: some Shelby how are you man?

325
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 3: I'm good, you know, always better after a win. How

326
00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 3: you guys doing We're doing good.

327
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: We had of course a bye and and no stress

328
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: for us, but you guys, boy, what a performance. Let's

329
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 1: start on the defensive side of the ball, and I

330
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: definitely want to get your thoughts on Shador and and

331
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: sort of what's what's going on in the offense. But yeah, defensively, man,

332
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: I just I don't know what's it like playing in

333
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 1: a game like that, you guys on the defensive line

334
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 1: and of course the edge rushers sometimes, I mean you

335
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: guys of you're just slogging like every single week is

336
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: is that the proverbial car crash that you're putting your

337
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: body through? And then once in a while, a game

338
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: like this presents itself and you get what you put

339
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: together a ten sack performance? Did you a know going

340
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: into it? It could be like that and be what

341
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: was it like playing in it?

342
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 3: Uh? You know going into it?

343
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 5: We know we knew the Raiders, did you know at

344
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 5: Sobacco see you know twice a year that with their team,

345
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 5: they don't really do a lot of extra tipping, They

346
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 5: don't be a lot of extra help, so they leave

347
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 5: a lot of their own lineman one on one. So

348
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: if we felt like if there was any week that

349
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 5: we could get opportunity to really have a game like that.

350
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 5: So it was going to be the week against the Raiders.

351
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: It's because of the way they decided the block things

352
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 5: and the trusts that they have in their own line.

353
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: And it was originly gonna be based off of us

354
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 5: and our performance and how we came to play to

355
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 5: determine how good of a game we could all have.

356
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,200
Speaker 5: But uh, you know, it was when you find a

357
00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 5: game right then when you find you get in situation

358
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 5: like that. And then we had to lead, you know

359
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 5: what I mean. We had to lead pretty much the

360
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 5: whole game. And when you had to lead like that

361
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 5: and you sat down there right game, it.

362
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 3: Forces in the half to throw the ball. And so

363
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,360
Speaker 3: when you have a game, I've never been a part

364
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 3: of anything like this before.

365
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 5: You know that many facts and that many hits. And

366
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 5: I felt like every drop back he was getting smacked,

367
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 5: and I always did. I was saying this earlier. I

368
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 5: give credit to Gino because Gino got up and got

369
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: up and got up, and.

370
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Speaker 3: He was getting killed not up, and it was sometimes

371
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: he was on the ground a little longer than normal.

372
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: But you know, you've got to get some all the

373
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 5: respect in the world because to take that many hits

374
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: to get up unwaivering every time.

375
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 3: You know that that if I'm on that team, that's

376
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 3: the positive.

377
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 5: And and you know in the in the darks is

378
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 5: you have a quarterback who will fight for you, that

379
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 5: will not give up.

380
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 3: Because we know we've seen it before.

381
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 5: We've seen quarterbacks take themselves out of the game and

382
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 5: situations like that. So you know, a lot of credits

383
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 5: to Gino just for you know, the toughness that he showed.

384
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, certainly, and it's a tough day.

385
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: And then of course they end up firing their offensive

386
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: Coordinatorship Kelly after the fact, and I mean you kind

387
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: of understand it was it was a tough outing there.

388
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,639
Speaker 2: The Raiders have had a tough outing this season.

389
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 1: You know, it feels like and maybe you can explain

390
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 1: this better to me because you've obviously played the game,

391
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: but it feels like when things are going bad sometimes

392
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: they sort of perpetuate that way, right, So for the Raiders'

393
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,960
Speaker 1: offense has had a tough season so far, it's like

394
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 1: this felt like to crescendo. Like I was looking at

395
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: this thing and I was all with Ben on Sunday morning,

396
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: and I said well, and I obviously maybe undersould a

397
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: little bit. Bryce, I said that I thought that I

398
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 1: thought you guys could get five to six or seven

399
00:18:28,600 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 1: sacks in the game. I thought Miles Garrett by himself

400
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: might get four. He ended up getting three. But it

401
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: just felt like this is the direction it's been going,

402
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: and they've been perpetually heading down destruction. So do you

403
00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: find that being the case where teams like are having

404
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: a tough season, it sort of perpetuates itself because it

405
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: really doesn't seem like a way out.

406
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,399
Speaker 5: Always an NFL. They kind of way a snowball and

407
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 5: it worse. But that of their offense has kind of

408
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 5: been struggling all year. They haven't really been able to

409
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 5: run the ball. And then they put Gino in a

410
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 5: live touch flats to the door ball and everything that,

411
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 5: you know, it just you know, it's just snowball and

412
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 5: got worse. And we got to think, like to have

413
00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 5: a coach like Chip Kelly, who you know, we known coach,

414
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 5: everyone knows who Chop Kelly is, start to college and

415
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 5: programs to bring him in, you know, and you make

416
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 5: him the.

417
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,720
Speaker 3: Highest fade offensive coordinator and and the one thing that

418
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 3: struggled for you.

419
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,920
Speaker 5: The most out the year is your offense. It's just, uh,

420
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 5: it's really hard to beat that.

421
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 3: It's hard, it's hard to get over that type of hump,

422
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 3: and it's hard to really even you know, how can

423
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 3: you even go in every day and and please to

424
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 3: your offense? So you're to your team. This is who

425
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:41,199
Speaker 3: you are when you're you know, the offense, what you

426
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 3: invested in, you brought you know about this. You know,

427
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 3: high profile guy in there running the tall.

428
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,640
Speaker 5: The plays and stuff. They're really the ones who are underperforming.

429
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 5: We're watching Ashon Jenny get one carrier and a half

430
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 5: of times where he's he's the top ten pick. So

431
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 5: you know, it's just it was like I just as

432
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 5: you know, it's obviously you see it's just a matter

433
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 5: of time. But you saw weekend week out though teams

434
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 5: have had their best games against the Raiders and pass

435
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:08,440
Speaker 5: us wise and just really dominated that, like had dominated

436
00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:12,440
Speaker 5: them throughout and that affect just because I would say

437
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 5: play falling wise and just the way they kind of

438
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 5: offense runs. They just don't really put pressure on you

439
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 5: in the run game and they just they and they

440
00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 5: allowed us to just seven or seven type games. So

441
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 5: you know, it all times obviously snowball, but it just

442
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 5: got you know, it got to a point where you

443
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 5: just couldn't do it anymore.

444
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, and that's what it felt like. Let's go

445
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:29,919
Speaker 1: to the other side of the ball. There was a

446
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: great shot on the sideline of Miles Garrett watching a

447
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: deep completion to Isaiah Bond from Shor Sanders. Your rookie

448
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: starting quarterback who's going to start.

449
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 2: Again this week. What do you think about his performance?

450
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good, and I think it was it

451
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 3: was encouraging, you know, and I think that was the

452
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 3: best way. It is encouraging.

453
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 5: You saw some of the traits that kind of sets

454
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 5: them apart from other people. But then also you saw that,

455
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,360
Speaker 5: like you know, he does have good touch on the ball,

456
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 5: he has good he has good awareness, He moves very

457
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 5: well inside the pocket, and that's.

458
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:00,520
Speaker 3: Just really what him.

459
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 5: They're not getting his first reps in the offense since camp,

460
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: you know, and so that's you know, it's encouraging. Like

461
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 5: I said before, he's encouraging. He just you know, obviously

462
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 5: he's going to get better and better as he gets

463
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 5: more comfortable, as he as he established himself a little

464
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 5: bit more. But you know, that's you know what the

465
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 5: defense likes to see. You know, it's been a lot

466
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 5: of time, so he saw a play go for forty

467
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: yards in the air, you know like that, Like that

468
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 5: that's exciting for us and that helps us, you know,

469
00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,399
Speaker 5: cheep going and make plays because when you see the

470
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 5: offense is able to move them all times and it's

471
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 5: not necessarily all in the defense, it does make you,

472
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 5: you know, maybe that ability to play a little bit

473
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:38,520
Speaker 5: more free.

474
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 3: So it was exciting to have him around. Is exciting

475
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 3: for him to you know, he has his or about him,

476
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 3: as we all know, Like he knows how to handle himself.

477
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 5: He knows how to command the huddle, he knows how

478
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 5: to command and lock him and knows how to talk

479
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 5: to people. So you know, he has traits that actually

480
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: and gets him fall in his league. And obviously this

481
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 5: is one start, but you know, the goal for the

482
00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 5: Browns and and for all of us is that it's

483
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 5: just you know, whatever the suation in a solution may be,

484
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 5: you know, it's just sart to the answer in the future.

485
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: Well certainly, And I mean that's that's what every single

486
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,199
Speaker 1: team is trying to do, right trying to find if

487
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: they don't already have the quarterback trying to find the quarterback, and.

488
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 2: You mentioned his his command to the locker room.

489
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 1: I just want to I think sometimes reputation because of course,

490
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: you you know, we played out here and and there's

491
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 1: a lot of bravado U some people say boring on

492
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 1: arrogance at times. What's without I guess giving way too much.

493
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: What's he like with the team?

494
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,720
Speaker 2: As you talk about him commanding the locker room?

495
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:38,520
Speaker 3: Very's cool. He's one of the guys, you know what

496
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 3: I mean. He talks like he's and he's just.

497
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 5: One of us, and I think, you know, it's I

498
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 5: think that's the coolest part.

499
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 3: You know.

500
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: I guess necessarily about anybody like you always want to

501
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 5: know what, you know, how they fit into the locker room,

502
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 5: especially when it comes to QBS, and you know, he

503
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: fits in perfectly. He's right there talking trash of the

504
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,919
Speaker 5: guys over there, hanging out with everybody, and you know,

505
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 5: then we all get a lot, you know, and this

506
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 5: whole team, we all get along and it's good vibes

507
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 5: and good times. And that's the first step always, I

508
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 5: tell people, and commanding locker room is you've got to

509
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 5: be able to talk to everybody locker room. You know,

510
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 5: it's hard for people to listen to people when they're

511
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 5: trying to talk or encourage you if you don't have

512
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 5: a relationship with them or you dislike them. And it's

513
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 5: always like a building with a common respect, you know

514
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 5: what I mean, just working together, and I think even

515
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 5: doing I think they've alved on but everything like we

516
00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 5: Ted had done a great job of immersing themselves in

517
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,479
Speaker 5: the locker room and just becoming one of the guys,

518
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 5: and and then just doing what it takes on the

519
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:37,880
Speaker 5: practice field to gain the people's respect.

520
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: The last one here on the Cleveland Browns, I just

521
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, and this might be so difficult

522
00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 1: to answer, really because you obviously are on the team

523
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: or you play on the defensive side of the ball.

524
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: I think it's always a difficult thing for a coach

525
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 1: to navigate that when you have a quarterback that's playing

526
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:58,119
Speaker 1: for an injured starter, right, so of course you're Flacco

527
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 1: trades the Cincinnati and then and it's h you know,

528
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,560
Speaker 1: it's still it's still in Gabriel who's your starter. But

529
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:05,919
Speaker 1: then he gets hurts and now it's Shora Sanders, And

530
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: I think it's the right call under the circumstances or otherwise,

531
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: that should gets another start here against the forty nine ers.

532
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: But I always find find that such an interesting balance

533
00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:19,120
Speaker 1: to walk from a head coaching standpoint, when you have, Hey,

534
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 1: the starter that was hurts, then the next guy comes in,

535
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: but he plays pretty well and there's a little bit

536
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: of a spark there, you know. It always feels like

537
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: from a team perspective, I don't know how it plays

538
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 1: out in the locker room, but I think from the

539
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 1: outside looking in sometimes people say, well, really it's obvious

540
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: it should be shure, but you have to navigate that

541
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: as a head coach.

542
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess when you look at it from it's

543
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,119
Speaker 3: a couple of ways to look at it. If you

544
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 3: look at it from the aspect.

545
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:49,280
Speaker 5: Of you know, that situation is usually is not as

546
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,440
Speaker 5: hard of a of an answer who would be a starter?

547
00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 5: But the issue with Alan's that we had we did

548
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: have a Joe Flackell to start the season.

549
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,399
Speaker 3: And so now Bylan went in there and we as

550
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 3: a team didn't do the greatest. So then when Shador

551
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: goes in there and he does the thing and we

552
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: get to win, of course there's gonna be like you know,

553
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 3: obviously you know three ideas well, Shador must be the answer.

554
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 5: But I don't necessarily always believe all that. I do

555
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 5: believe that Shad is a good quarterback. I do believe

556
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:20,960
Speaker 5: that he will he will help us win games whenever

557
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: his number is called it and the same thing I

558
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 5: do believe about doing Gabriel. But I just think it's

559
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 5: more of a you have to look more at the

560
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: teams and how the team responded. And I think the

561
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 5: team was finding very well to Chadur playing and the

562
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 5: plays that are happening. But we've done the same thing

563
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 5: with Dylan before too, and I just think that what

564
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 5: we saw out a Chadur that kind of helped more

565
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 5: him get at least another chance for us. You do

566
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 5: see the opportunity for big plays. You do see the opportunity.

567
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 3: For the offense to move down for you. You do

568
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 3: see the opportunity for it to not be a stagnant,

569
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 3: slow paced offense. You see the shots, You see how

570
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,400
Speaker 3: can open up the run game. You see the potential

571
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 3: of that well. And then and that's what I think

572
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,880
Speaker 3: is the difference. Because they're both Brookies, yep. And being

573
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 3: that they're both Brookies, you just got at this point,

574
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 3: you kind of have to go with the hot hand

575
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 3: if you're trying to win games. And obviously we just

576
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 3: won this game, so it's understandable of why you would

577
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 3: you would agree to give us to do another chance.

578
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 3: And I think you want to take advantage of once again.

579
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 5: Another week of practice and you know, just another week

580
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 5: of being comfortable in the system.

581
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm with you on that, no, no doubt about that.

582
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you a couple more questions here. One,

583
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 1: we were just talking about sort of re racking the AFC,

584
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 1: and I'd love to know from your respective like big

585
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: picture and you and I usually kind of chop this up.

586
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: You know, your view of of course you're in the

587
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 1: middle of the season, you're playing on a team, but

588
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: your view of the AFC right now, of course you

589
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: got to you know, the Patriots there at the top,

590
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: who just won their tenth game, Broncos is the second seed,

591
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts, the Baltimore Ravens, who, of course you've

592
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: seen already. You also have seen Pittsburgh there the now,

593
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: they're all the way down to the nine seed. Everything

594
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: is is kind of really we bunched in there but

595
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 1: from your perspective, what teams do you think should be

596
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: the most scary or or in the contender category in

597
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: the AFC right now?

598
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 3: Is it contender for the Super Bowl?

599
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah?

600
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: Super Bowl? Get tender already?

601
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, So we're doing.

602
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 3: I'm not just saying this because obviously I'm talking Denver.

603
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 5: So so I honestly will hardly believe that the Denver

604
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 5: Broncos probably to me, are are the favorites in the AFC,

605
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,480
Speaker 5: mainly because.

606
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 3: Their offense hasn't hit their stride and they're nine and two,

607
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 3: Like that's the thing that they have not played well

608
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:42,360
Speaker 3: on offense many games and they're nine.

609
00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 5: And two and you that's so the way they play

610
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 5: to me, in my eyes, that's playoff football, you know

611
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 5: what I mean? Like the defense they're riding their defense

612
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 5: right now. But then eventually, and.

613
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: I believe eventually the offense will hit their stride and

614
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 3: the offense will will start to take them press.

615
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 5: Off that defense. But right now, that defense is playing

616
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 5: at a super Bowl level. So you know, I mean, obviously,

617
00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 5: being a defender, I am, I got I gotta always

618
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: ride with uh, you know, one of the best defense

619
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 5: in the league. But while we stay the zone. Don't

620
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 5: let the Chiefs in. Don't let the Chiefs in. And

621
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,840
Speaker 5: we all and we all know this, we all know this.

622
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 5: It's all they need is opportunity to get in and

623
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,760
Speaker 5: anything anything happened from there. But we all like like

624
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 5: and that's why I said, I will never count.

625
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:29,200
Speaker 3: Them out until they.

626
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 5: Are officially eliminated from the playoffs. But don't let the

627
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 5: Chiefs in. But you know, Denver right now, I'll definitely

628
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,440
Speaker 5: say it's probably my favorite in the AFC.

629
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think about just quickly on New England,

630
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 1: you guys, you guys faced them earlier this year.

631
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 2: What do you think about Drake May?

632
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 5: I like Drake May. You know, he may he makes

633
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 5: the easy throw, but he you know, he makes an accurate,

634
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 5: good throwing and they rely on that run game. It's

635
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 5: it's a classic, you know, Rable type offensive run the

636
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 5: ball down your throw play action off of it. Drake

637
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 5: May's using his legs to get you know, get first downs,

638
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 5: and he's using his arm too, receivers of separate nothing

639
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 5: him plays him the old lion's blocking and the defensive

640
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 5: flying around making plays. So you know, I like, I

641
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 5: like what I see. I was doing in England.

642
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 3: It's just that and then my eyes, Denver has a

643
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 3: better defense. So in that case, I'm always.

644
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 5: Going to pick the team with the better defense. Obaly

645
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 5: as a favorite, but I liked what Drake May shows.

646
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 5: I like everything, has all the intangibles. He can take

647
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 5: every throw.

648
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 3: He's playing at a really high fast play speed, he's running,

649
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,720
Speaker 3: he's like, so he's really he's putting all the pressure

650
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 3: on all these defenses. So it's no wonder that on

651
00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,200
Speaker 3: the Patriots are team too. But it's just crazy because

652
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 3: this was it probably like Denver last year, this New

653
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: England research.

654
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 5: This is probably one of the most unexpected that anybody ever,

655
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 5: you know, that actually kind of happened this year, just

656
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 5: like the Colts. So it's just I like the way

657
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,800
Speaker 5: that New England Patriots team plays though, No, I.

658
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Mean for sure there's a lot of good things going

659
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,520
Speaker 1: on with that. And I think we have this discussion

660
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:02,440
Speaker 1: about the newer teams, the newer blood, and some mean,

661
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you don't know what they're going to

662
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: ultimately look like in the postseason, and I'm with you

663
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: with the chiefs man. They are playing at a high

664
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: level even if they aren't closing out a lot of

665
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 1: these one score games. They finally did close out a

666
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: one score game against the Colts, but yeah, they seem

667
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: like one of those teams that just nobody's gonna want

668
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: to play. Same thing with the Houston Texans with that

669
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,640
Speaker 1: really elite defense. All right, last one I have for you.

670
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 2: And we were talking about this a little bit earlier.

671
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: I have said, now you're a married man like I am,

672
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: and Dave was giving me a hard time because I

673
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: had mentioned I don't like Brussels sprouts, but I will

674
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 1: have Brussels sprouts if my wife orders them, like if

675
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: we're at a restaurant. She likes them a lot, and

676
00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: so she's like, hey, I want to get this as

677
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: an appetizer. I will have them with her as a

678
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 1: way to so she doesn't feel bad about ordering them

679
00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 1: and eating them all for herself because she doesn't want

680
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: to do that. They think that's ridiculous. He says, there's

681
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 1: a line you don't cross. If it's something you don't like,

682
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: you shouldn't have to do it. I coupled this to like, hey,

683
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: if we're going to go to the opera or we're

684
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: going to go to you know, a lot of other

685
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: things that that may not be my thing, but I

686
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,880
Speaker 1: could get into it even if it's not my favorite food.

687
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that sentiment for me or do

688
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: you grew with Dave that I'm out of my mind.

689
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 5: You're I'll say that right now, you're tripping because it's

690
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 5: certain things, it's certain things in life that you can

691
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,800
Speaker 5: you can do that, but like you said the opera,

692
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 5: certain things like that.

693
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 3: When it comes to food.

694
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,280
Speaker 5: Now, when it comes to food, there's like, there's no

695
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 5: I'm not sacrificing my taste buds for my wife's happiness.

696
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 3: My days buds are important here, and I just I.

697
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 5: Like it because it's funny, said Brussels sprous Because I

698
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:35,600
Speaker 5: hate brussels for right.

699
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 2: They're awful, but they're awful with a passion.

700
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,600
Speaker 5: But my wife loves them. She swears like bacon, they

701
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 5: all taste way better. But you know what I always say,

702
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 5: don't bring that crap anywhere near me. There is there

703
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,040
Speaker 5: is no all.

704
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 3: Like it's like, if we go out to eat, she's like, oh,

705
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: should get Brussels spruces aside, No, every time the answer

706
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: we know, I do even think my kids like Brussel

707
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 3: sprous so I think it's only my wife.

708
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 1: But yeah, no, okay, so yeah, so so listen, I understand,

709
00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 1: and and Grant said the same thing. He said, I'm

710
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: happy to do those other things when it comes to food,

711
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 1: absolutely not.

712
00:32:08,080 --> 00:32:09,800
Speaker 2: There's a line in the sand you just do not cross.

713
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't listen. I'm fine with it if

714
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: it makes her happy, and I don't. I don't mind

715
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: sharing it, and you know whatever, I'm not gonna have

716
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 1: a lot of them, but I'll have a couple of

717
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 1: them so she feels better.

718
00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 2: It's weird. I did not know this was such a

719
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 2: big deal, but apparently I'm learning a.

720
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: Lot about about what I'm supposed to be doing and

721
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 1: how most men act in those situations.

722
00:32:27,880 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: It's just very e I.

723
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 5: Would never, never, even like if she tried to give me,

724
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 5: if she tried to give me Brussels trouts, I would

725
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:41,120
Speaker 5: literally delivery and literally just toss.

726
00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 3: Them on the ground.

727
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:45,000
Speaker 5: I hate, like my life knows how much I hate

728
00:32:45,040 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 5: Brussels trouts. Like it's known.

729
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 3: So if you tried to give that to me, I

730
00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: would think she's trying to poison me.

731
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: That's great, Hey, before I let you go, this was

732
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: one of the Miles Scarrett sacks that was pretty fun

733
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 1: this weekend.

734
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 3: Fact a mile he's kind him again.

735
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 6: All's out, balls, wells out, crowds, football stripp sack Miles Garrett,

736
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 6: but ten rounds sack A good day and there is

737
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 6: your Vegas goodbye.

738
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: Sandres Ciciliano and Cleveland Browns ran of network very quickly.

739
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:21,800
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett is having an unbelievable season again at this point,

740
00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: and I know that you do a lot to help

741
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 1: help that process. You help Miles Garrett have some of

742
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,280
Speaker 1: the success that he's ultimately having. Most people don't talk

743
00:33:29,280 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 1: about that with the defensive line and how much they

744
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: ultimately help these edge rushers. But he seems like he's

745
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:38,440
Speaker 1: going to be certainly, if not already the front runner.

746
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,680
Speaker 1: But in the conversation for Defensive Player of the Year,

747
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: he's just on another level.

748
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's special. You know, I was actually talking to

749
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 3: my father in law who's here for the holidays. You know,

750
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 3: I'll pay it with some a great group of interrestors.

751
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 3: Throughout my career, I've been with a Klill, Mac Tug,

752
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 3: von By Chubbs. I'm doing Miles, you know what I mean,

753
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: Like I've been I've been. I've been. I've had some guys,

754
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:15,200
Speaker 3: but the stuff he's doing week the week, I've never

755
00:34:15,239 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 3: seen him Like okay, like you see people Raymen le

756
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: Bruston for three sacks.

757
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 5: A game at once maybe a season. I think that's

758
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 5: what over the last four weeks is thirteen.

759
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 3: Like you know what I mean, that's that's that's.

760
00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 5: Unheard of, but you know it's it's it's just something

761
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 5: I take a lot of pride in being a part of, too,

762
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:40,400
Speaker 5: because obviously it's a team game, so you know anytime,

763
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,800
Speaker 5: you know, even in that whole ten tax thing, I

764
00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 5: remember one of the sacks that even Malie Collins had.

765
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,720
Speaker 3: It was on a game that we ran.

766
00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 5: And I was just hyped because we got the sacks,

767
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,319
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like it's something that you

768
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 5: take pride in as a d lineman, no matter who's around,

769
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,759
Speaker 5: eating the sacks and anybody. Just when Miles won his

770
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,040
Speaker 5: deep as a Player of the Year two years ago,

771
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:00,840
Speaker 5: I took a lot of pride because, my god.

772
00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,279
Speaker 3: Well we all contribute to that. And when he wins

773
00:35:04,320 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 3: it again this year, we're gonna be like, we all

774
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 3: contribute to that. I think.

775
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 5: I just think it's just such a cool thing to

776
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,919
Speaker 5: be a part of. And let's say he does break

777
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: the record, you know what I mean.

778
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:16,160
Speaker 3: And it's something that I will forever remember, something that

779
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,240
Speaker 3: I will forever be able to cherish and be around

780
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 3: because we're all part of that. And you know, it's

781
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:24,400
Speaker 3: a it's a really cool experience to be around. And

782
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: it's it's really just it's you're watching history to make it.

783
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,560
Speaker 3: And I think that's probably the coolest part.

784
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:34,680
Speaker 5: About it is you know, this season will never be

785
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 5: forgotten for what he's doing, and you get a frontlow

786
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 5: seat to it, and you'll be able to tell your

787
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 5: kids and tell your family about, you know.

788
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:44,520
Speaker 3: The things we're able to witness. Stuck your NFL career.

789
00:35:44,800 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: Perfectly, said my friend. All right, well, good luck this

790
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:49,560
Speaker 1: weekend against San Francisco. We'll check in with you next Tuesday.

791
00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:51,719
Speaker 3: Appreciate it. Happy things given.

792
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, he same to you. Same to you, man. I

793
00:35:53,320 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 1: appreciate that. Shelby Harris always great, fantastic.

794
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 5: I'm not sacrificing my taste but for my wife's happiness.

795
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: By the way, there are some people that text Light

796
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: that don't agree with that. Most of them agree with

797
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:12,279
Speaker 1: SMIs Shelby and with Grant with Dave, but somebody Mark says, hey, Ryan,

798
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,680
Speaker 1: please tell Shelby I'm sorry, but he's the one that's

799
00:36:14,680 --> 00:36:16,279
Speaker 1: tripping You got it, righte, bro?

800
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 2: You know happy wife. Yeah, that's my mindset.

801
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: But I understand everybody's got the thing that they they

802
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: draw a line in the sand saying I'm sorry.

803
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,000
Speaker 2: Taste buds otherwise certain types of food.

804
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 1: I don't think she's asking me to share Brussels sprouts

805
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: because she knows I hate them, Although somebody said that,

806
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:38,440
Speaker 1: My theory is that Ryan's wife is fairly indifferent to

807
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: Brussels sprouts but enjoys ordering.

808
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:41,799
Speaker 2: Them as a way to torture him.

809
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: That's pretty funny that she's got cover of darks as

810
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,040
Speaker 1: a humor, so I would put it past her to

811
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,120
Speaker 1: do something like that. But I don't think she orders

812
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:51,919
Speaker 1: them in that respect. I think she really loves them.

813
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: She just doesn't want to have to eat them all

814
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: by herself. And so, yeah, I acquiesce like a good husband.

815
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: At least that's what I thought until I came into

816
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 1: the show today. It was told by Dave, Shelby and Grants,

817
00:37:04,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 1: as well as many of the textures that I'm out

818
00:37:06,200 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: of my mind. We're gonna chat with rod Smith Maybel

819
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:09,680
Speaker 1: will get his thoughts on it.

820
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 2: Coming up next
