Speaker 1: Danny McCrae, Hecma Harrison and New.
Speaker 3: He shrugs, plays lounge here we are playoff week Wildcard

Speaker 3: T Stadium as Dallas Cowboys take on the.
Speaker 4: Green Bay Packers.
Speaker 3: Players Lounge is Danny craig, Heckmarrison, Barry Church, I am New,
Speaker 3: he scrugs.
Speaker 4: Lots to get.
Speaker 3: To today here as the Cowboys are a seven point
Speaker 3: fa going into this concept.
Speaker 4: Yes, mister Church, is that too much?
Speaker 5: A little much? Not a little much? Even you studied
Speaker 5: that's a little much. I don't know what y'all thinking
Speaker 5: about that, but seven Look, I think we.
Speaker 6: Were right on board when you not not. They finished
Speaker 6: nine and eight statistical categories. I think the quarterback kind
Speaker 6: of he raised some of my brows with his numbers.
Speaker 6: Six weeks even bothering he has been hey, what's your
Speaker 6: what's your word? Simple sample size take a simple size
Speaker 6: of the career Yeah, he's been balling at me. He's
Speaker 6: had an incredible last six games. But you know, look
Speaker 6: out right now, I'm not even because you know that
Speaker 6: that that could change between now and Saturday seven.
Speaker 2: I think, uh, in the playoffs, I think we win.
Speaker 2: I think we I think we win by more than something.
Speaker 6: Oh, to be honest, the only fear that you know,
Speaker 6: it's every week is the running game.
Speaker 2: For me is always the running game.
Speaker 5: I've really got to think the ground game that's really
Speaker 5: that's going to defense?
Speaker 6: Do we have the same guy, that same running back
Speaker 6: that they had last they changed?
Speaker 2: Anybody still got Jones? And uh?
Speaker 5: They But if we look at if we look at
Speaker 5: the season this year, like we just look at it
Speaker 5: absolutely what games outside of Buffalo and look Arizona really
Speaker 5: really did the Cowboys get ran on to where it
Speaker 5: was like, man, that's the reason they lost outside of
Speaker 5: those two games.
Speaker 6: No, it's more of it's more of our offense. To
Speaker 6: me now is is it's almost fifty to fifty right,
Speaker 6: And if you're not able to get off the field
Speaker 6: on defense or get those turnovers in those situations where
Speaker 6: teams are running the football on you. We talked about
Speaker 6: Philadelphia where a lot of their turnovers. Those were in
Speaker 6: positions where Jalen Hursts is getting twenty yard runs or
Speaker 6: swift whoever it is. And that's the same thing that
Speaker 6: happens in most other weeks. And we don't come here
Speaker 6: and say, oh man, we did well stop in the run.
Speaker 6: We're like, you know what, we were opportunistic and we
Speaker 6: got some big time turnovers. The time you face the
Speaker 6: team and they don't give you those turnovers and they're
Speaker 6: able to run the football, which I don't know what
Speaker 6: Detroit was doing when they stopped running the football own us,
Speaker 6: But once you see a team that doesn't do that,
Speaker 6: then that's when you have an issue. So that's what
Speaker 6: makes me a little nervous and my headphones are going crazy. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I don't that's the thing for me. I'm in the
Speaker 6: same vein with what Danny said. It's just been times
Speaker 6: over the season where you've seen him not be able
Speaker 6: to get off the field and there's those third and
Speaker 6: lungs and they give up a long run to get
Speaker 6: a first down. So that's the only thing that concerns me.
Speaker 6: And I think I'm putting the importance for everybody where
Speaker 6: it needs to be on the running game. I know
Speaker 6: Aaron joneson have the numbers. He doesn't look anything like
Speaker 6: the running back that we faced before. But Dad Quinn's defense,
Speaker 6: for all of its feelings and warts, the running game
Speaker 6: has been a part of that. And look, if you
Speaker 6: can mitigate this running game and not even make that
Speaker 6: an option, you make a young quarterback like Love look
Speaker 6: look average. And Aaron Jones was out. He was out
Speaker 6: a few weeks this season so hadn't really been healthy.
Speaker 6: But we know what happens when the playoffs come around.
Speaker 2: It gets a little different than AJ and A Dylan.
Speaker 2: He's a bruiser.
Speaker 6: Nah, I don't want to overplay it, but yeah, end
Speaker 6: of the season, the Packers, they look like a different team.
Speaker 6: Our Achilles Hill for the last few years in the
Speaker 6: playoffs have been the run game. And thankfully we get
Speaker 6: tested with a you know, they decent enough for us
Speaker 6: to say, okay, we need to carry this into into
Speaker 6: the next game and further into the playoffs, so we
Speaker 6: can really have that type of confidence.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it's gonna be a test.
Speaker 5: So if it was up to y'all real quick, so
Speaker 5: it was up to the y'all, would y'all would have it
Speaker 5: if you get you know, one way or the other.
Speaker 5: Stopping to run is the up and forth like that's
Speaker 5: that's it, Like we got to stop the run. You know,
Speaker 5: they can have explosives in the passing game, but I'd
Speaker 5: rather contain to run than contain the explosives.
Speaker 6: I would rather us be able to contain and run
Speaker 6: and put put the entirety of the game in the Green.
Speaker 2: Bay Packers passing game.
Speaker 6: I don't think Jordan loves played that outstanding to where
Speaker 6: our playoffs rush doesn't doesn't get to him. And then also, hey,
Speaker 6: Gilly said he's gonna be okay, you know whateverdron Bland.
Speaker 6: You go to the honey hold too many times before
Speaker 6: you know what, you got to pick six, Like, I
Speaker 6: would rather play that game versus the six and seven yards.
Speaker 2: Of carry game.
Speaker 6: Make them one dimensional, That's that's it. Make them one dimensional.
Speaker 6: And we see what ails us and it's been it's
Speaker 6: been the running game. But we know what they got
Speaker 6: over there, Romeo Dodds, Christian they got some stuff.
Speaker 2: They got some stuff.
Speaker 6: I'm not I'm not saying that the running game is
Speaker 6: the end all of be all, because there's a whole
Speaker 6: other dimension of their offense. I'm sure we're going to
Speaker 6: hold on. But Church that the things you're worried about
Speaker 6: the secondary of the Cowboys. Yeah, about our secondary more
Speaker 6: than more than the running game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, oh clear? Oh yeah, Like is it
Speaker 2: because Gilly is or even with a healthy Gilly healthy Killy?
Speaker 5: You know, I'm not It's not to me. It's not Gilmore,
Speaker 5: that's necessarily. I'm worried Abot because I feel like he's
Speaker 5: a you know, technician, He'll get the job done. My
Speaker 5: thing is, what's been kind of an Achilles hill for
Speaker 5: this defense, if you say, outside of the run, has
Speaker 5: been a quarterback back and by time you know, to
Speaker 5: get you know, kind of step away from the rush,
Speaker 5: can kind of get outside the pocket while also looking
Speaker 5: downfield to make these throws.
Speaker 2: I mean, we look at it.
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna put Josh Allen in there because he
Speaker 5: only threw the ball, what fifteen times in that game,
Speaker 5: but you got Hurts.
Speaker 2: That first goal around.
Speaker 5: You had Josh Dobbs shoot Geno Smith, and that's who
Speaker 5: kind of this guy reminds me a little bit of
Speaker 5: a Gino Smith, where he's not gonna he's not gonna
Speaker 5: just you know, bend the corner and outrun you like
Speaker 5: a Dobbs.
Speaker 2: But he has enough athleticism to extend the play. And
Speaker 2: we saw what.
Speaker 5: Those receivers were able to do when they got a
Speaker 5: little bit of time back there. The rush wasn't getting
Speaker 5: after Geno Smith. He was able to pick apart this
Speaker 5: defense because he was using his athleticism to buy time
Speaker 5: for those guys to extend the players and get deep.
Speaker 5: And that's what kind of worries me with this this
Speaker 5: love matchup, Like if he's able to buy some times,
Speaker 5: they got the weapons on the outside that can it
Speaker 5: can expose a secondary you know, nothing against you know,
Speaker 5: Gilmore Bland or nothing like that, but we all know
Speaker 5: it's hard to cover in his league, you know, for
Speaker 5: for a little for extra time. So if you got
Speaker 5: a quarterback to bad time, it presents a problem.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I guess on the flip side of that, and you
Speaker 6: put your worry in the right place. But I think
Speaker 6: this defense as as far as our front, as far
Speaker 6: as pursuing the quarterback, I put a lot of trust
Speaker 6: in them now this point in the season, being able
Speaker 6: to hunt the quarterback down. Jordan loves compared Harrison to
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott and how he uses his legs to get
Speaker 6: out of the pocket to find you know, the scrambling,
Speaker 6: scramble drill, things like that. I've seen them do a
Speaker 6: lot of that over this last six games of him
Speaker 6: just creating and adding to plays. But he he doesn't
Speaker 6: give me like that Dobs like, man, he gonna see
Speaker 6: the play, gonna burn or someone They give me that
Speaker 6: Jalen hurts feeling like not the touch push, but you
Speaker 6: know what I mean, he doesn't give me that same
Speaker 6: word that I'm worried when we get down past fifty yards,
Speaker 6: Jalen Hurt's gonna take it to the household since we.
Speaker 2: All we all in couple one, you know.
Speaker 6: So I just want to be be clear that I
Speaker 6: feel like when we stopped the run, we can then
Speaker 6: play our game and then we could come in our
Speaker 6: ears back and come out to quote.
Speaker 2: What is it, Danny, because I wanted to get.
Speaker 6: Newies taken on there because I'm like, like you listen,
Speaker 6: if we're gonna lose the game, I want to lose
Speaker 6: it because hey man, our pass Russ didn't get there.
Speaker 6: Micaeh and d Ware, I mean d Lay and all
Speaker 6: those guys versus you know, Damona Clark and Bill and them,
Speaker 6: couldn't fit the gaps and all that stuff like that.
Speaker 6: We come in here on Monday and we say pass
Speaker 6: rush didn't show up. George Love called it through fifty
Speaker 6: times and we couldn't figure out the way to stop him.
Speaker 6: I'm sitting there, I'm saying, you know what, that surprised
Speaker 6: me because that, to me, that is the strength of
Speaker 6: our defense being able to rest the pass. So that's
Speaker 6: when they were talking about historically great. When we came
Speaker 6: into the season, it was sacks here and sacks there
Speaker 6: and they only got a half a second to throw
Speaker 6: and all that. If we somehow get away from that
Speaker 6: in the playoffs, then that is, to me, that's an anomaly,
Speaker 6: and I don't expect that to happen. But the ring game,
Speaker 6: that's somewhere every game, no matter who it is.
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there.
Speaker 6: Saying, hey, we got to get something figured out because
Speaker 6: that team is going to do what the last team
Speaker 6: did and they gonna try to run the football.
Speaker 3: I asked Dan Quinn about the running game and the
Speaker 3: fact that they played them two years ago up there
Speaker 3: in Lambo, and that was another game where you talked
Speaker 3: about Josh Allen I throwing a whole lot there. Rogers
Speaker 3: might have had fourteen passes before they went in over
Speaker 3: time me they ran that ball. And he spoke about
Speaker 3: what makes the offense good for Green Bays their ability
Speaker 3: to play action pass, you know, use the run and
Speaker 3: set up and throw the ball. That there's something to
Speaker 3: be worried about here. So I think you're correct that
Speaker 3: Matt Lafleur would be wise to look at the Arizona
Speaker 3: tape to say how.
Speaker 4: Do we run the ball?
Speaker 3: And then how do I tell my quarterback if you
Speaker 3: see something, go get yourself six seven, eight right here
Speaker 3: and keep the chains moving. So this is going to
Speaker 3: be a game where Cowboys defense is going to have
Speaker 3: to be good. And I'll say this for Dan Quinn
Speaker 3: is a defensive coordinator. The Cowboys defense has been good
Speaker 3: in the playoffs. It's been the offense that has not
Speaker 3: been able to score the points and the losses. We
Speaker 3: saw what they did last year at Tampa Bay to
Speaker 3: Tom Brady, they couldn't run it and they got after him.
Speaker 3: And so the Cowboys offense was able to get points
Speaker 3: early and the game got away from Tampa Bays, but
Speaker 3: Green Bay rookie quarterback, if you're Matt lafleur, help your
Speaker 3: quarterback by running the football and try to lessen the
Speaker 3: moment as much as you can and tell them, hey, man,
Speaker 3: if it's third and seven and you see you see something,
Speaker 3: go go get don't be afraid to go get it.
Speaker 4: So this is this is what you.
Speaker 2: Thinking about the seven? The spread? You think that's that's
Speaker 2: kind of on point.
Speaker 3: I think it's on point considering how well Dallas has
Speaker 3: played at home and this team is dominated home.
Speaker 4: So I don't have an issue with the seven. It's
Speaker 4: how do you get there?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 4: Is this is this a game.
Speaker 3: Where you come out and the offense goes and you
Speaker 3: make them play catch up for you shit around here
Speaker 3: like like we saw last week.
Speaker 4: You're playing around and in the first.
Speaker 6: Quarter trying to give everybody trying to get me get told,
Speaker 6: but let me get galloped, let me get all the
Speaker 6: guys up. And then then you finally switch back into
Speaker 6: and give CD and Cooks and Fergus and you know
Speaker 6: what they deserve, a man, give.
Speaker 2: It and it's gonna be the game right here.
Speaker 6: Set I said seventy five and thirty for Tony Poula,
Speaker 6: this is around.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be it right here. That's the last that's
Speaker 2: the last.
Speaker 5: Thing you know, this defense or this team wants to
Speaker 5: do is make it a game in the fourth quarter.
Speaker 2: I mean, because you look at it.
Speaker 5: That's basically what the Packers have been able to do
Speaker 5: these last six seven weeks, the riding on confidence. And
Speaker 5: to me, if you're able to extinguish that confidence early
Speaker 5: in the game, you got it, Like you said a
Speaker 5: young quarterback his first time in the playoffs, I think
Speaker 5: you'll be able to kind of collapse their their their
Speaker 5: confidence as a team. But if this thing gets in
Speaker 5: the fourth quarter and it's a tight one, you know,
Speaker 5: Jordan Loves I'm here, I've arrived.
Speaker 6: And oh, by the way, Churches Church has been saying
Speaker 6: this for a while, if they need three, can't stop them,
Speaker 6: they need seven.
Speaker 2: We definitely don't want that.
Speaker 6: What we haven't been able to do that at the
Speaker 6: end of the game, you know, in December, and that
Speaker 6: just done Bowl well for a tight game.
Speaker 2: So hopefully that seven point spread is hopefully eight.
Speaker 6: What you need, though, what you need is for your
Speaker 6: offense then to come out and ball. And it's the
Speaker 6: last six games. This same packing squad that we're talking about.
Speaker 6: They lost to the Giants, they lost to Tampa Bay two. Right,
Speaker 6: they had a real close game with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 6: So I mean, when you do your evaluation on them,
Speaker 6: I'm not trying to minimize who they are. They to
Speaker 6: the playoffs, like you know, they captured the seventh seed.
Speaker 6: They are a dangerous team and we got to beware
Speaker 6: of them. But at the same time, we just got
Speaker 6: to play our game. There's no pressure. Look, there's really
Speaker 6: no pressure on us. We're at home. Come out and
Speaker 6: play your game. Don't you gotta play tense like you
Speaker 6: did last week. You have to know that that team
Speaker 6: was like we got it. Not only you clock watching,
Speaker 6: we got to get the second seed. But once they
Speaker 6: fell into that game, dog, everything opened up and they
Speaker 6: have to play like this, and I think that's what
Speaker 6: gives them the advantage home.
Speaker 2: I think there's more pressure on Green Bay in his
Speaker 2: game than there is.
Speaker 6: Dallas House money House, and I think and I think
Speaker 6: people say that, but I mean knew he just called
Speaker 6: Jordan Love a rookie quarterback.
Speaker 2: He's not a rookie.
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's been in the league for a while, But
Speaker 6: the truth is he's never been in a situation like this.
Speaker 6: Let's let's give let's give that credit for the amount
Speaker 6: of playoff wins that he has, the amount of times
Speaker 6: he's been in the playoffs, and also the fact that
Speaker 6: as far as leadership is concerned, Mike has been here.
Speaker 6: So I mean to me, if you come out of
Speaker 6: your tense and you play tight, then that would take
Speaker 6: me off more than anything.
Speaker 2: If they didn't come out and play they're at home.
Speaker 6: This is what you played to get the tech and
Speaker 6: seed second seed four was to be able to come
Speaker 6: home and put your foot on them.
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers were not expected to make the playoffs.
Speaker 3: When you thought I picked Detroit to win the division,
Speaker 3: I think most people had Minnesota being the second best
Speaker 3: team in that division, and then you know Green.
Speaker 4: Bay and Chicago fighting it out.
Speaker 2: From there.
Speaker 3: You moved on from Aaron Rodgers. We didn't know what
Speaker 3: to expect from Jordan Love. The bar was was average,
Speaker 3: it best in expectations. This guy finished second, finished second
Speaker 3: in the league and touchdown passes. If they lose this game, yeah,
Speaker 3: everybody's gonna say, hey, good job, good job. Cowboys lose
Speaker 3: this game. Everybody's gonna say same old one like this.
Speaker 3: You're like, it's it's bad. So the pressure pressures on
Speaker 3: the Cowboys because they're expected to win.
Speaker 4: And if you look at who loses.
Speaker 3: Who's gonna get all the black Cowboys gonna get all
Speaker 3: the Packers lose, be no blame.
Speaker 4: Hey, nice job.
Speaker 2: The sky is gonna fall, so it's going down there.
Speaker 6: We might get we might be out of here. It's
Speaker 6: been it's been pressure. It's been pressure every week. It's
Speaker 6: been pressure every week on this team. It's been you
Speaker 6: can't win on the road, you can't. You can't beat
Speaker 6: the team with a with a playoff team, it's you.
Speaker 6: It's been a narrative each and every week. They finished
Speaker 6: twelve and five. They got the NFC eason. Not that's
Speaker 6: not the end all, the be all, but you play
Speaker 6: to get yourself to home field.
Speaker 2: You got that.
Speaker 6: Now they come out and slap these folks. I mean,
Speaker 6: it's not what's where's the pressure in that? We understand
Speaker 6: if you lose, the sky's falling, all of that, But
Speaker 6: you're good enough to get here and beat the second seed.
Speaker 2: Play life it So what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: I hear you know, I mean it doesn't make for
Speaker 6: a good show if you're confident, you know, let's worry.
Speaker 7: First quarter.
Speaker 2: We're not worried, but let's worry. We talked.
Speaker 6: We talked this last week and the commanders and they
Speaker 6: came out here. People can say whatever they want to you.
Speaker 6: I was sitting there like, here we go.
Speaker 2: Here it is. We're gonna make it. We're gonna make
Speaker 2: it closer than it needs to be.
Speaker 6: And that's how the game started off on the road
Speaker 6: where you say you can't win on the road, and no,
Speaker 6: by the way, we did go in the row two
Speaker 6: times in the row. We lost those games. So the
Speaker 6: pressure in those situations it was on. It was like, hey,
Speaker 6: well you're right, team say that. Everybody believes that we
Speaker 6: cannot go on the road against a good team and win.
Speaker 6: We didn't do it. So now the pressure is not
Speaker 6: just this year. It's coming from last year and the
Speaker 6: year before where you went twelve and five both those
Speaker 6: years and you still didn't find a way to get
Speaker 6: it done in the playoffs. That's why this is why
Speaker 6: Dak Prescott done not because he feels pressure, but this
Speaker 6: is why he doesn't put on the NFC each championship
Speaker 6: thing because he knows that the old is to get
Speaker 6: further than you had gotten in the previous two years,
Speaker 6: because they're saying you can't get over the hump. So
Speaker 6: it's not pressure, but it's like, hey, man, expect they
Speaker 6: know what the expectation is. He knows and and I
Speaker 6: think I think Dak is one of those people who
Speaker 6: operates very well most of the times under pressure. So
Speaker 6: I think he's embracing.
Speaker 4: It with that field goal.
Speaker 2: Guy blood.
Speaker 3: You know that Shannon sharp Jiffre. He's like, that's right,
Speaker 3: that's what I'm sitting.
Speaker 4: There looking at.
Speaker 3: Really, this is what your biggest game of the year,
Speaker 3: and we know how well Brandon Aubrey has been kicking.
Speaker 6: And he's like, I was more upset that that's how,
Speaker 6: that's how, that's how I got messed up from him.
Speaker 4: And luckily, you know on.
Speaker 3: The radio broadcast, Bab's gonna be touchdown and lucky didn't happen.
Speaker 4: But really, this game of the year, this, this is
Speaker 4: what we're doing.
Speaker 2: You're just running through there, you know.
Speaker 6: But I was more upset about Greg Osen going on
Speaker 6: a rant about now Brandon they's going to be in
Speaker 6: his head about Yeah, come on, man, they always trying
Speaker 6: to sell us some kind.
Speaker 2: Of fear like and he drk the next one.
Speaker 6: Better hurry up and get him down there to kick
Speaker 6: another one, because oh my god, there's a curse on
Speaker 6: Brandon Aubrey.
Speaker 2: Come on, man, no, I think.
Speaker 6: Okay, then when he nailed the fifty, henailed at fifty,
Speaker 6: you're like, oh.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy did say yesterday he wanted him to get
Speaker 3: He wanted Aubrey to get in there and get another
Speaker 3: kick to go into the to go into this game.
Speaker 3: So so yeah, yeah, I mean Olson said it, but
Speaker 3: Mike went out there yesterday and basically, yeah, we want
Speaker 3: to make sure he gets right, feel good, right, feel.
Speaker 2: Good kicking home this time? He all right, a right,
Speaker 2: he missed one at home.
Speaker 4: We're not This is not Brett ma.
Speaker 2: That had a lot to do with that. Couldn't Brent.
Speaker 3: Carrying on last year's last last season's uh bat mojo
Speaker 3: at at the end here. But this is what the
Speaker 3: Cowboys wanted and the expectations are. You need to win
Speaker 3: these two games that you have lined up at at
Speaker 3: and T Stadium, win the wild card game, win the division.
Speaker 4: I was talking with Todd Archer Es Peter Todd's.
Speaker 3: Been here a long time, and Todd's like, you know
Speaker 3: what if McCarthy was brought here to take this team further,
Speaker 3: the Jason Garrett if he doesn't get them past the
Speaker 3: divisional round?
Speaker 4: Was he better than Jason and.
Speaker 2: Michael?
Speaker 4: This is this is what the expectation is.
Speaker 2: You had me, bro what you mean you.
Speaker 6: Had me fool when you listened all the teams they
Speaker 6: lost to and didnt it did not list off the
Speaker 6: teams they beat.
Speaker 2: He said, I told you the last six games who
Speaker 2: they lost.
Speaker 6: When do you.
Speaker 2: Started reading it? I was like, I looked at it too.
Speaker 2: I say that the Rams talking about I don't know
Speaker 2: when I looked at us.
Speaker 6: I promise you I expect to see like they lost
Speaker 6: all the good teams.
Speaker 2: Joy enjoy that they.
Speaker 6: Went to Detroit and we twelve and beat them, and
Speaker 6: then back though Day beat They beat them up on
Speaker 6: Thanksgiving Dame and they beat the Rams that we're talking about,
Speaker 6: you know, with that's a healthy Rams season beat true,
Speaker 6: this is what we know lost lost to the Raiders.
Speaker 6: This is this is a playoff team. This is a
Speaker 6: playoff team and the Washington Washington Commanders, and I'm so
Speaker 6: thankful were playing at home and not the five seed.
Speaker 2: I don't want them problem.
Speaker 3: This is a team two years ago went up there
Speaker 3: in the lambeau Field on fan base thought they were
Speaker 3: gonna lose. We assume we all picked the Cowboys win
Speaker 3: the game fourteen points and then they melted down in
Speaker 3: the fourth quarter.
Speaker 4: This is not an outfit to take lightly.
Speaker 3: Mike McCarthy in his last two games against the Cowboys,
Speaker 3: and he was coaching Green Bay, they won games.
Speaker 2: In which you thought the Cowboys.
Speaker 3: Well, I said the Cowboys were in a position to win
Speaker 3: the games.
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers is not there, but still there is something
Speaker 4: about there.
Speaker 6: I mean, can't act like Aaron Rodgers didn't have something.
Speaker 6: But then all of a sudden, I mean, they run
Speaker 6: the game exploded.
Speaker 7: Everybody should be good.
Speaker 6: Can I ask you something? Can I ask you something?
Speaker 6: It's not that it's played out? Are you are you more?
Speaker 2: Did play?
Speaker 6: Are you happy that we are at home playing against
Speaker 6: the Green Bay Packers? Which first, because that's yeah, this
Speaker 6: what it should have been. This what it should have been.
Speaker 6: Right here, This this what it should have been right here.
Speaker 6: Thank you, thank you for bragging that tasty cake in here. Man,
Speaker 6: That's what it should have been the whole time a
Speaker 6: chocolate tasted. You don't want to He's listen. I'm okay.

Speaker 7: Reed.
Speaker 2: I believe you stop. Chris can't help me.
Speaker 3: Very church of the players of News Struggs God Boys
Speaker 3: getting ready to face the Green Bay Packers. More firings
Speaker 3: today in the National Football League, Tennessee is fired head
Speaker 3: coach Mike Rabel, who had.
Speaker 4: Two years left garbage.
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm trying to understand how you can
Speaker 3: lose your job with those quarterbacks he had. I mean
Speaker 3: this this man was Tannehill had a crazy contract. Believe
Speaker 3: he had the highest cap hit of any quarterback in
Speaker 3: the league. This year, they drafted Will Levis. Okay, you
Speaker 3: drafted old boy from Liberty third round.
Speaker 2: That guy Leak's not that guy.
Speaker 3: Blame Gaber apparently used to play some games out there,
Speaker 3: Derrick Henry out here slowed down.
Speaker 2: I mean, guy.
Speaker 4: Taking a goal.
Speaker 3: I mean at some point in times like how you
Speaker 3: know you want to fire a guy. How much did
Speaker 3: you help him? You know, they did go down to
Speaker 3: Miami and win a game with Will Levis, and I'm
Speaker 3: just I think he's a good coach. You guys made differently.
Speaker 3: I think it's a good football coach. All I can
Speaker 3: say to the folks down in Tennessee is it can't
Speaker 3: get worse.
Speaker 2: Probably will before it get better. Wasn't he competing for
Speaker 2: the SC championship like he was the coach of the year.
Speaker 2: Wasn't years ago?
Speaker 4: So so that's that's wild.
Speaker 3: You know, you're gonna go ahead and and blow out
Speaker 3: him because they're six and eleven.
Speaker 4: This year finished in last place.
Speaker 3: There's some rumblings that apparently he disagreed with some of
Speaker 3: the direction and wanted some more input in personnel.
Speaker 2: He was trying to get out of it.
Speaker 3: And now that Tennessee has one of these, they wanted
Speaker 3: to be collaborative. That's this kind of thing, now, you
Speaker 3: know San Francisco, for let's be collaborative and our decision
Speaker 3: making collaboration got you Trey Lance.
Speaker 2: They got lucky with parties. That was all up right.
Speaker 4: So I mean, this whole collaboration thing.
Speaker 11: It's a cowboy you forgot.
Speaker 12: Filter right, Let's let's let's have a Trey Lance conversation. Okay,
Speaker 12: here's the thing about this conversation.
Speaker 2: They made it.
Speaker 4: They traded up. They traded up three picks Kyle Shanahan
Speaker 4: wanted Mac Jones.
Speaker 3: The collaboration talked the head coach out the player and
Speaker 3: they took Trey Lance. I had a guy who was
Speaker 3: a scout here with the Cowboys once told me he's like, man,
Speaker 3: worst thing you can do is draft players coaches don't
Speaker 3: like because front office people have ideas of what they
Speaker 3: like and coaches have what they want. When they decided
Speaker 3: to push the head coach who basically hired all of
Speaker 3: them because they hired Shanahan, he brought them, they basically
Speaker 3: talked him out of the guy he wanted.
Speaker 4: So now you're coaching Trey Lance and Shanahan has what
Speaker 4: he wants to do. Is kind of like when we
Speaker 4: watching with Russell Wilson Champayne.
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson doesn't do the things that Sean Payton wants.
Speaker 4: So what happened at the end there don't work out?
Speaker 3: Then they bring it back Jimmy g and they doing
Speaker 3: all that stuff, and then last year, despite having some
Speaker 3: some progress in the preseason, they made him number three.
Speaker 4: They were trying to get traded.
Speaker 6: You said, you said Shanahan wanted who Mac Jones, the
Speaker 6: one that in New England?
Speaker 2: Yes, So what is the comparison would have got yea.
Speaker 3: So the whole collaboration thing here, I don't think it works.
Speaker 3: I think what you need to do is ultimately have
Speaker 3: people who make decisions and everybody in the room don't
Speaker 3: need to have.
Speaker 2: A well what do you think there? We think we No, No, if.
Speaker 4: I'm the decision made, I'm a decider. George said, let
Speaker 4: the man be the decider. So that whole thing where
Speaker 4: they should have let Kyle Shanahan go.
Speaker 2: With his guy, No, no, no, that that makes sense.
Speaker 6: And I think look time proof of consistency at front
Speaker 6: offices and coaches making decisions on gods they won't versus
Speaker 6: scouting department. I think was it Rod Mayor Nelli a
Speaker 6: couple of years ago, picked Christian somebody I got it,
Speaker 6: the defensive alignment, trist then.
Speaker 2: Trician Hill, Tristan.
Speaker 6: Central Florida, Central Florida, and I mean everyone else wanted
Speaker 6: was not a starter at Central Florida. Then my point,
Speaker 6: it's just basically, you could fall in love with a
Speaker 6: guy that the organization doesn't want it just for any
Speaker 6: other reason, they will pick this guy, and if the
Speaker 6: guy didn't work, it goes against the coach and I mean,
Speaker 6: you've just seen that back and forth on in front
Speaker 6: offices over the years, and it's young Boom. There's another
Speaker 6: there's another example.
Speaker 3: Norm Chotty offensive coordinator, who was a b YU guy, dropped,
Speaker 3: you know, get under center, drop back, that was his thing.
Speaker 3: Matt Lioner, Carson pontm that was his thing. And then
Speaker 3: you had Jeff Fisher.
Speaker 4: They didn't want him. The owner, Bud Adams wanted him.
Speaker 3: And how did that go despite the fact he was
Speaker 3: Rookie of the Year, made the plassmate. Vince had an
Speaker 3: over five hundred winning percentage, but it never went that way.
Speaker 3: When Jeff Fisher finally could get his way and he
Speaker 3: pushed Vince out, That's what happens.
Speaker 6: Speaking of while we on it. While we on it,
Speaker 6: you know, a little seguey. The game came on last
Speaker 6: night National Championship game. Uh, the guy who got second
Speaker 6: in the Heisman voting, which is Michael Pennix, played last
Speaker 6: night and I'm watching the game and I'm thinking, I'm saying,
Speaker 6: you know, the teams that are sitting at the top
Speaker 6: right and they have that decision to make when they're
Speaker 6: trying to figure out who's gonna be their franchise guy,
Speaker 6: and you have what what three or four that are
Speaker 6: sitting at the top right there with think it's Drake Made,
Speaker 6: Kayler Williams, Jane Daniels and then Pennix.
Speaker 2: How do you make that decision both Knicks? Yeah over No, No,
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that I was, just I was.
Speaker 6: I haven't forgotten who Bo Knicks is. Okay, now people
Speaker 6: could get better.
Speaker 2: Get that.
Speaker 6: So when I'm listening to those four, because I'm listening
Speaker 6: those because I know, like, but the point is, how do.
Speaker 2: You make that decision?
Speaker 6: Because you're talking about Vice Young right where you say,
Speaker 6: all right, well we all knew that Vince Young was
Speaker 6: an amazing talent, but if you want the guy because
Speaker 6: you know he's going to be great, But the GM
Speaker 6: who's in that position is like, nah, I like somebody else.
Speaker 6: And then it fails, and I both to y'all field,
Speaker 6: now both of y'all getting fired, Like I can't, like,
Speaker 6: I can't imagine like how that goes. And then one
Speaker 6: how it feels because you sitting there as the head coach, like,
Speaker 6: I know I was right, but there's nothing I could
Speaker 6: do about it.
Speaker 2: Nothing I could do about it.
Speaker 4: It happens all across the league.
Speaker 3: One reason why the Panthers in situation they're in so
Speaker 3: Matt Rule when he was running the team decided to
Speaker 3: take J. C. Horn the corner the owner wanted Justin
Speaker 3: Field head coach who was running personnel, told him not, no,
Speaker 3: this is what we're gonna do.
Speaker 2: Owner was hot. Owner was hot.
Speaker 3: So last year the collaboration that the owner talks about
Speaker 3: and said he's the deciding vote. The rest of the
Speaker 3: guys apparently wanted C. J. Stroud, who the owner want, right, young.
Speaker 2: GM fired head coach.
Speaker 4: So that's why I just go to this whole. I
Speaker 4: don't believe in the collaboration. If I hire you to
Speaker 4: do the job, Danny, you my coach, you my GM.
Speaker 3: You know, we don't need thirteen people in the room
Speaker 3: trying to sit up here and make a decision.
Speaker 4: We come up with the No. What was the beauty
Speaker 4: of Jimmy Johnson was making decisions?
Speaker 6: Whereous one of these dudes is gonna be a bust.
Speaker 6: This guy is their top guy, right, They're gonna picked
Speaker 6: this guy to the top guy. The three years from now,
Speaker 6: we're gonna say, possibly you passed up one on this
Speaker 6: said person because you thought this one was going to
Speaker 6: be better, and that is that is the Kayler, William Drakes,
Speaker 6: Drake May Michael Pant like one of those is unfortunate
Speaker 6: because you know, most of the time that happens, one
Speaker 6: of those guys is gonna be sitting there saying, you
Speaker 6: know many you got us fired your bisky.
Speaker 2: They ask them on my homes, they passed them on Watson.
Speaker 6: It's a quarterback driven league, and you make a and
Speaker 6: unfortunately most of those teams at the top are driven
Speaker 6: by the decision to have a quarterback to take them.
Speaker 6: I mean, think about the Bengals and what happened to them.
Speaker 6: They bring on Joe Burrow and it's like that expands
Speaker 6: bring their whole program forward ten years because they get
Speaker 6: a good quarterback. Those teams believe that's difference in winning
Speaker 6: and losing. If we can get a guy the helm
Speaker 6: that we can get behind and build around. It's a
Speaker 6: need versus wont cowboys. For years, New England has been
Speaker 6: in a won't position to sit back and just get
Speaker 6: you f you're around the thirty, well, we're looking for
Speaker 6: a cornerbacks, linebackers, whatever, I just get to pick of
Speaker 6: the liver litter who's ever on my draft board, But
Speaker 6: you can't miss Joe.
Speaker 2: Is a unicorn, no in a way to me.
Speaker 3: I mean, here's a guy that comes with the National championship,
Speaker 3: arguably the most dominant team to ever win the thing.
Speaker 4: Then you've got a guy who is high sted Druking.
Speaker 4: I mean, this was like a no brainer. And by
Speaker 4: the way, he was from from Central Ohio. But when
Speaker 4: you start talking about like.
Speaker 3: That last year's draft where here's Bryce Young, some people
Speaker 3: are like, he ain't too short.
Speaker 4: Then you had CJ.
Speaker 3: Stroud, I think it get complicated, and this year I
Speaker 3: don't think it's really a complication at all.
Speaker 2: To me, it's Katelyn Williams. It really is.
Speaker 3: And in certain years it's kind of like, well, maybe
Speaker 3: you know the year Eli came out, you had Eli,
Speaker 3: you had Philip Rivers, you you had Ben Roethlisberger. It
Speaker 3: was kind of that situation where where do you go
Speaker 3: with I remember when Cam came out. Remember that Sports
Speaker 3: Illustrated cover. I know you guys don't read it, but
Speaker 3: he remember the Sports will trat it was Cam Newton,
Speaker 3: Blaine Gallart and Jake Locker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like which one? What do you mean? What are
Speaker 2: you talking.
Speaker 3: About right now, even though we saw Cam was a unicorn,
Speaker 3: but it was kind of like you know before, but
Speaker 3: now we see Lamar is all established. But people are like, no,
Speaker 3: we don't know about them dudes like him and Jerry
Speaker 3: Rich and my candle tattoos.
Speaker 6: And so I see Lamar type of guy in the
Speaker 6: draft right now. Sho Jaydon damees how many he liked that.
Speaker 2: I'm just see I see that type of guy in
Speaker 2: the draft right now.
Speaker 4: So you say that, and no sooner than that.
Speaker 3: Lady on Fox Sports Radio is talking about she Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 3: you want your quarterback to be quarterback? You're going to
Speaker 3: believe me. You're going to start to hear that church.
Speaker 3: And I remember the Ohio State playoff game and Justin
Speaker 3: Fields went up. I told you he was gonna drop.
Speaker 3: He told you. I was like, bro, I know this
Speaker 3: league has done it too many times. Lamar Jackson saw it.
Speaker 3: Sean Watson, we saw it. So I'm not saying he's
Speaker 3: gonna be the guy.
Speaker 4: But a black guy gonna drin.
Speaker 2: Drop.
Speaker 4: Somebody got it.
Speaker 2: Might be you.
Speaker 3: We saw Labar sitting in that room forever and ever,
Speaker 3: and I mean it. Then you know, God bless Lodgie
Speaker 3: make Sci Fi roll time. But he didn't even make
Speaker 3: him his first overall.
Speaker 2: In the first round. He took the tight end. Then
Speaker 2: he went back and.
Speaker 3: He said, I guess all you had the opportunity to
Speaker 3: take him here, but even you weren't. You weren't convinced.
Speaker 3: Every year it happens, man.
Speaker 2: Every year.
Speaker 6: But I mean time proved consistency on that. For every
Speaker 6: Lamar Jackson you have, U a Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: That doesn't work out, you have I mean, I basically.
Speaker 6: How many times have got around for those guys?
Speaker 2: How many times do you have to learn? But you learn,
Speaker 2: you learn your lesson.
Speaker 4: This league doesn't learn.
Speaker 3: Okay, So Michael Pennix, I'm listening to the radio today
Speaker 3: getting killed.
Speaker 4: I missed a bunch of guys. How much this drip
Speaker 4: start dropping?
Speaker 3: I mean all that, Like, did you guys just see
Speaker 3: him for the first two games of the guy, Michael
Speaker 3: Pennix is a good football player.
Speaker 4: I mean, the guy got the dude.
Speaker 3: In Indiana long long term extension just got fired because
Speaker 3: he left. But I mean this dude was out here
Speaker 3: getting people paid. But I'm telling you right now, be
Speaker 3: it Daniels, be at Penix.
Speaker 2: What I'm dropping. We got to Daniels is the league.
Speaker 6: Daniels Pendicks right now after that game, watch watch bon
Speaker 6: Nicks go ahead of one of them. You if you
Speaker 6: take Nicks with the expectation that you if that's gonna
Speaker 6: be your franchise, gud, then you deserve whatever comes your way,
Speaker 6: because that's the first The dude been in college thirteen
Speaker 6: years out.
Speaker 2: I was in SC. I've seen the good played against time.
Speaker 2: Is gonna be twenty seven when I mean, come on, man, Yeah,
Speaker 2: but he ain't never looked like both Nicks. I watched
Speaker 2: both Nicks.
Speaker 6: He was and I think if anything, the knock on
Speaker 6: penixes that he's been hurt. He's been injured so much.
Speaker 6: I mean, the kid has overcome a whole lot to
Speaker 6: be the quarterback, shoulders all of that. That's if that's
Speaker 6: the knock that's gonna be on. The injury history is
Speaker 6: the only thing.
Speaker 2: Just know what happened.
Speaker 6: Come on, man, come on with that man, keep on
Speaker 6: alive rather than where is Justin Jackson when you need him? Man?
Speaker 6: Second round? I mean you dropped.
Speaker 2: Go look at go look it up. All the church.
Speaker 4: Church was sold.
Speaker 3: Feels a guy like dude, he dropped me dropping shuting
Speaker 3: up on draft table.
Speaker 4: What the whole boy? Can he don't study? Teams were teams?
Speaker 1: Drive?
Speaker 2: Was that last year? No wonder killing him?
Speaker 3: Tell you matter how fields got rolled up? And then
Speaker 3: I just said, I just heard some people saying he got.
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody got it like Colin with the video game closed.
Speaker 6: When you do that to yourself, say man, you can't
Speaker 6: have a PlayStation in your house.

Speaker 2: I bet you I won't the snack.
Speaker 3: So we'll see exactly who anybody else getting fired here, assume.
Speaker 3: So we'll see Dan Quinn. A lot of folks want
Speaker 3: to interview him, one of the team's commanders. So dan
Speaker 3: Quinn defensive coordinator for the Cowboys. I've been saying for
Speaker 3: three years he's gonna leave.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have you took Will win him one time
Speaker 2: you had a whole gym want to break up?
Speaker 4: Confirmed that too.
Speaker 3: I mean, why wouldn't you three straight twelve and five
Speaker 3: seasons if you look at the draft in here, I mean,
Speaker 3: you know, and obviously Will McLay has had some personal
Speaker 3: reasons why he's wanted to stick around here.
Speaker 4: But you know, at some point in time, Will may
Speaker 4: want to have that title and be.
Speaker 2: Able to run his own room.
Speaker 3: Because here, as long as the Joneses are running this thing,
Speaker 3: they're going to keep the general manager title.
Speaker 2: Jerry is the general manager.
Speaker 3: But I can say this because I've talked to many
Speaker 3: employees who've gotten job offers from other teams and that
Speaker 3: they have had conversations Jerry said, don't let money be
Speaker 3: the reason. Elite, meaning Jerry matched whatever money people could
Speaker 3: have made. One of one of our favorite staffers here
Speaker 3: told me once hey had a job opportunity to go
Speaker 3: east and a job title. Jerry matched the money and
Speaker 3: he stayed. So we'll see he's paid dan Quinn Jerry's
Speaker 3: Jerry has said he's paid dan Quinn very well, which
Speaker 3: when I talk to people that say he's basically making
Speaker 3: some head coach.
Speaker 2: Money around here, should yeah, exactly, and nobody disputes that, right.
Speaker 2: I just want to make sure the page on that
Speaker 2: there's no salary cap for coaches.
Speaker 3: So, but if you're dan Quinn at some point in time,
Speaker 3: I think, especially as you're watching some of the coaching
Speaker 3: jobs in this league, man, you feel like, hey, man,
Speaker 3: I have coached the.
Speaker 4: Team of Super Bowl. The Chargers haven't ask for him, but.
Speaker 2: You know he they got some kept trouble coming on
Speaker 2: coming on.
Speaker 6: When you're looking at when you're looking at being a
Speaker 6: head coach, which is why I think he's still here.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 6: Some some of the reason why he's still here is
Speaker 6: what opportunity is out there? And even though it looks
Speaker 6: like that's a great opportunity, how many years does the
Speaker 6: quarterback have left on his deal? What receivers, what the
Speaker 6: cap numbers gonna look like? And you start to looking
Speaker 6: at that, and you say, you want to look under
Speaker 6: the hood, what's going on? You want to test drive,
Speaker 6: you want to go out there and get fired. Two
Speaker 6: years he already he went to Atlanta, This's already happened.
Speaker 6: So his second chargers want that to be the charges
Speaker 6: job would be the most attractive because of the quarterback
Speaker 6: still longer is Justin Herbert Still I'm not I am
Speaker 6: not down in Justin Herban I'm not gonna I'm not
Speaker 6: gonna down. But that's not gonna be the reason why
Speaker 6: I'm like, yeah, that's the one I want to go
Speaker 6: to see. We just we just did a whole thing
Speaker 6: on quarterbacks. We just talked about Poennix and Daniels and
Speaker 6: agree with me.
Speaker 3: I think that's I think that is a if you
Speaker 3: look at the jobs that are open, I think that's
Speaker 3: the most attractive job because you have a quarterback.
Speaker 2: It's the most attractive one.
Speaker 6: I'm saying, that's not one where I'm leaving a Dallas
Speaker 6: or somewhere where Jerry's telling me a don't make money
Speaker 6: be the reason, and I'm finna go out there with
Speaker 6: Justin Herbert knowing what's coming behind that, with the Saldlary cap.
Speaker 2: Issues or whatever else they may have going on. I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't know if if I'm jumping at
Speaker 2: the opportunity, I.
Speaker 4: Would disagree with you. I would disagree with you.
Speaker 3: I would believe that when we start to look at
Speaker 3: these jobs around the league. Take Carolina for instance, You've
Speaker 3: got Bryce Young, but what's your confidence level right now?
Speaker 3: And then the offensive line and everything else around it. Now,
Speaker 3: your issue with the charges is Keenan Allen's making a
Speaker 3: high number.
Speaker 2: So is Mike Williams. James one of those two guys
Speaker 2: is gonna go.
Speaker 3: But that was also why they drafted Quick Johnson knowing
Speaker 3: we're about to lose somebody. Joey Bosa is making a
Speaker 3: large number. Khalil's making a large number. This may be
Speaker 3: the time where you go to Bosa and its hey, God,
Speaker 3: come knocking trim this little bit here, because.
Speaker 4: You haven't played. But if I'm a coach, look at
Speaker 4: like Grabel, what you have when you don't got a quarterback.
Speaker 2: If I'm Mike.
Speaker 3: Grabel, I'll go out there and say, okay, can I
Speaker 3: find a couple of dudes defensively and can we pat
Speaker 3: something together? I'll do that if I got a quarterback.
Speaker 3: But man, we look at Belichick. Man, man, the man,
Speaker 3: the man. The man left the stadium with his face
Speaker 3: covered up. Man, it wants six super Bowls. Fans out
Speaker 3: there are mad at him. On the one that even
Speaker 3: come up there and support. You don't get him six
Speaker 3: super bowls.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 3: Then this man left left the field face because he
Speaker 3: had Bailey, Zappi and Mac Jones just straight killing.
Speaker 2: Isn't he a general manager? He runs he runs everything? Okay,
Speaker 2: I mean he got this food is nasty. I did.
Speaker 3: So what I'm saying is, if Bill has an opportunity
Speaker 3: to go to place like was in Charges, where you've
Speaker 3: got a quarter him, that's appealing.
Speaker 4: Quinn fim dan Quinn, okay, raider job, No, No.
Speaker 2: No, that's not what I'm saying. I think I.
Speaker 4: Think dan Quinn with Justin Herbert, I believe dan Quinn
Speaker 4: would take.
Speaker 6: That, Okay, Yeah, I think I think my point is
Speaker 6: not that, like, you got guys who are searching for
Speaker 6: a head coaching spot, yes, and then you have a
Speaker 6: guy like Dan Quinn who has come out and said, hey, man,
Speaker 6: I know that the group of guys I have here
Speaker 6: and I want to blah blah blah all this sort
Speaker 6: of stuff. I'm saying, I see him leaving for a
Speaker 6: perfect almost perfect situation, almost perfect situation just based off
Speaker 6: the fact that he went to Atlanta and didn't work
Speaker 6: out second shot. And this is just my personal opinion.
Speaker 6: This is just my personal opinion on Justin Herbert. I'm
Speaker 6: not sure. I'm not sure. I hear a lot of
Speaker 6: arm strength, he got all the talent, all this other stuff,
Speaker 6: but he had multiple guys that came in there and
Speaker 6: tried to tried to make some stuff work. Your guy
Speaker 6: went in there tried to make it work. To see
Speaker 6: the same stuff from Justin her you could throw the
Speaker 6: ball really well. I mean, we're just missing the clutch factor.
Speaker 6: That's that's the hell of a factor. That's the biggest
Speaker 6: fact of the missing.
Speaker 2: He's missing it right now. But yeah, yeah, Dan, we're
Speaker 2: going out there and he'll find you in the office.
Speaker 4: Hain't no common with the Raiders about that.
Speaker 6: Parts of that he gotta leave. I'm saying, if you're
Speaker 6: forcing them out the door to yeah, I'm gonna go.
Speaker 6: I'm probably going to pick l A. I mean, it's
Speaker 6: one of thirty two jobs. And I understand what you said.
Speaker 6: It's appealing and as a guy that's already coached a
Speaker 6: squad to the Super Bowl, but I'm with you, it's
Speaker 6: perfect when I walk in, it's got.
Speaker 2: To be right.
Speaker 3: When I see commanders and I see and I see,
Speaker 3: don't do that to Carolina, Like okay, okay, Caroline's.
Speaker 4: Got a lot of issues, a lot of issues out
Speaker 4: there now.
Speaker 2: Not to mention. Man.
Speaker 4: We'll talk to youmorrow right here radio.
