Speaker 2: in the story. You know, I watch games on TV

14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: and the commentators tell me things I already know, and

15
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: I'm not that smart. Really, please, I know a quarterback's

16
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: going to pass on third and fourteen.

17
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 3: I know that.

18
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 2: Tell me how he'll do it. That's what I want

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 2: to know. And that's what Bucket Brooks does. He's a

00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 2: welcome Brianna today. Brianna is coming in for Shay Shay Shay.

Speaker 2: She is a little bit of weather. Hello, Brianna, how

26
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: are you? Did you miss us?

27
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 5: Good morning guys. Oh my gosh, I missed you guys

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 5: so much. I'm so happy to be here.

29
00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 2: That's great, and Buck and Brian everybody else in Mark.

30
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: Are you guys getting ready for a Thanksgiving? Big week?

31
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 2: This week? Family coming over? Tell me a little bit

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: about your Thanksgiving plans.

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 4: I mean, look, this is gonna be pretty basic for

34
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 4: me to get a little football. So I got I

35
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 4: got some work to do, but eventually I get a plate,

36
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,839
Speaker 4: hang out, do what we normally do own Thanksgiving.

37
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 2: Hear what you're saying? All right, you know I'm going

38
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: to say this. I said this coming into this segmen,

39
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: nobody saw this coming back in eight in August, and

40
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: I thought the big thing yesterday was going to be

41
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 2: Ohio State Indiana. That game paled paled. What happened on

42
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 2: the scoreboard yesterday. It's unbelievable. Really, I almost I'm almost confused.

43
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 2: I need like a Ouiji board to figure this out. Okay, Alabama, Okay,

44
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 2: All Miss, text all losing Shakas really and that's going

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 2: to shape up a new championship race now in that league.

46
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: And we'll talk about the SEC in the Big twelve.

47
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 2: I don't know how Colorado lost yesterday. I watched that game.

48
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: I can't believe that BYU loses yesterday as well. Arizona

49
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: State getting hot at the end of the season right now,

50
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: they beat up on BYU. Let's start over here with

51
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: this situation. How does Alabama lose to Oklahoma? How does

52
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: that happen twenty four to three? Help me here with this?

53
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 4: Well, here's what I say. First, the fist that we saw,

54
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: particularly in the SEC, the SEC is very difficult because

55
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 4: it's a gauntlet like it's hard to run the gauntlet

56
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: and come away unscathed. You saw Ole Miss lose to Florida,

57
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 4: You saw Alabama fall to Oklahoma, and then you saw

58
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: Texas and them get up ended. The difficult thing in

59
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 4: college football is to get your team ready to play

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: each and every week, to play at a consistent standard

61
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 4: that exceeds what the opponent can bring. Because the up

62
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: and down, unpredictable nature of kids eighteen to twenty two

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: years of age, you're going to get upsets like this.

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 4: And because of nil to transferport and all the things,

65
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 4: the talent has been kind of you know, I won't

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 4: say evenly divided amongst the teams, but it's close. And

67
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: so if you don't bring your a game, you don't

68
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 4: have teams that are just talented enough to walk over

69
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: other teams, particularly in their league. And we're seeing that.

70
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 4: And so that's why when we expanded the playoffs to twelve,

71
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 4: you've opened up the possibility of underdogs playing a bigger

72
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 4: part of the playoff than we ever anticipated.

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: Okay, now, how much do you put the pressure on

74
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 2: in the blame maybe on the coach. I'm looking at

75
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 2: Alabama right now. They lost early on this year to Vanderbilt.

76
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: They lost to Tennessee. I could live with the Tennessee

77
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 2: loss with them an Alabama fan. Vanderbilt, all right, that happens. Well,

78
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: kind of a bump in the road. There is no

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: there's no excuse in God's green Earth for loost Oklahoma.

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: That team was five and five or six and five

81
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:05,559
Speaker 2: going into that game. Is today. I mean, honestly, Oklahoma,

82
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 2: I know the game wasn't Norman. But still, in all,

83
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: how do you lose to Oklahoma win when it meant

84
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: so much for them? Is that on the coach? I understand,

85
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: you got eighteen to twenty one, twenty two year old kids,

86
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: and maybe their mind is l square, maybe they're busy

87
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: with Exam's girlfriends, whatever.

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 4: It may be.

89
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,479
Speaker 2: But every team has that and if you have physically

90
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: better than the opposition, you got to win. Alabama should

91
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: have won that game. There was no way they should

92
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 2: lose to Oklahoma.

93
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 4: Well, I mean you over here acting like Oklahoma is

94
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: yes program. I mean Oklahoma is a story program with

95
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: good football players. They didn't get it going this year

96
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 4: for whatever reason. But I don't think you can just

97
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 4: dismiss them and think that it's an easy win because

98
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 4: they're on the schedule. Sure, they weren't ranked, but it

99
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: still should never be a situation where we look at

100
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 4: Oklahoma as a cupcake and for Alabama and they've had

101
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 4: a problem with this, Like Alabama has had some issues

102
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: when it comes to their focus, being able to maintain

103
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 4: their focus in games. We saw them lose the to build,

104
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 4: but it came particularly after a huge win against Georgia.

105
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: These things don't shouldn't be surprising because of the landscape

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 4: that we see in college football. And as much as

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: we want to go at Kayler the boor and some

108
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 4: of the other coaches for failing to bring their team

109
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 4: to the winner circle, I just think it's the landscape.

110
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 4: I think it's hard to run the table and win

111
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 4: all these games without eventually stubbing your toe on an

112
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 4: inferior opponent.

113
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: It's amazing to me. I think it's great because now

114
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: you have twelve teams going to the college playoffs, and

115
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: you may have a couple of teams in there with

116
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: two or three two definitely too, maybe even three losses.

117
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 2: Let me move on to a Notre Dame game, because

118
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,679
Speaker 2: I was excited to turn it on the TV because

119
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 2: it was a Yankee stadium, it's a big time venue

120
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: and things like that. After ten minutes, I shut it off.

121
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: It was ridiculous, forty nine to fourteen. I thought Homy

122
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: would give them a better fight. Army was ranked nineteenth.

123
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: They're finished right now. But Notre Dame losing early on

124
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: in the season to Northern Illinois, how do they turn

125
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: it around? I mean they have become now a possibility

126
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 2: to win the championship. I mean Notre Dame right now,

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: it might be the most consistent team in the country

128
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: after losing to Northern Illinois and this kid, Jeremiah Love

129
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 2: is unbelievable.

130
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, but I would say this about Notre Dame. Marcus

131
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 4: Treeman did a great job of taking that loss and

132
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 4: really using it as a lesson for his team. You

133
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 4: heard him in pregame before Army talked about like, we

134
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: want to play with violence. We want to make sure

135
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 4: that we remember what the feeling like was the feeling

136
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: that we had against Northern Illinois, and they have a

137
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 4: sense of purpose. They were very professional when it came

138
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: to administering that she lacking of Army last night, and

139
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 4: it was an intriguing game, one that I thought like,

140
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: the styles can kind of make it challenging. But Notre

141
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:44,279
Speaker 4: Dame flex their muscles from the beginning, and the thing

142
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 4: that you like to see is just how they went

143
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 4: about their business. Can they sustain it though the last

144
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 4: few games of the year. Can they take that same

145
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 4: kind of approach and deal with USC and whoever else

146
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 4: is left on the schedule.

147
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: Okay, and I'm going to say this right now. You

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: look at the committee A negative. Look at Notre Dame,

149
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: say they may have had an easier route than some

150
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: of these teams in the SEC. They don't have that

151
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: brutal schedule week in and week out. How much of

152
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: that is a factor going into this playoff situation because again,

153
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: you know, you look at wins losses, then you kind

154
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: of pull the curtain back a little bit, say who

155
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 2: do they beat? How do they beat them? I mean

156
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: them talking like even Penn State yesterday they had a

157
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,679
Speaker 2: sweat against the Minnesota team. So is it just wins

158
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: and losses or how you win or how much you

159
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: win by? Because some of these schools, like Tennessee, they're

160
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: pounding their opponents. The opponents aren't that strong, but they're

161
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: putting up fifty to sixty points. Maybe the shorter committee

162
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: to how strong they are.

163
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 4: I'll say they do that. But eventually, you still got

164
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: to play in those big games, in those big moments,

165
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 4: and as much as I love you know the way

166
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: you talk about Tennessee warped up own teams and those things,

167
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:53,679
Speaker 4: you still got to show up whin the stage is big.

168
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: They had opportunities against Georgia to show the world how

169
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 4: good they were, and they weren't able to do it.

170
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 4: They've had other opportunities to do the same. They have

171
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 4: to show up in those big moments. So it's great

172
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: that they're whooping up on those foes, but it's hard

173
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: for me to say that, yes, let's let them in

174
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: when they haven't beaten down a big dog consistently. They

175
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: need to big win those those those must win games,

176
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 4: but you also got to take care of business against

177
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,200
Speaker 4: those that they're better than at You're.

178
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: Right about that. I got good news for you that

179
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 2: Mac Brown's coming back next year at the age of

180
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: seventy five, the coach your Tar Hills in North Carolina.

181
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 2: I got bad news that they lost to Boston College.

182
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you why. It was worse than the

183
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 2: score was showing you right now. Forty one to twenty

184
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,319
Speaker 2: one was the final, but they were losing like forty

185
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 2: one seven at a time. They were losing seventeen zip

186
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: early on. But then you know, you know, okay, okay,

187
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 2: and I think they got their wins. They're gonna be

188
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 2: in a bowl game, right They got their six wins,

189
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 2: so they'll be in a bowl in Macu's back.

190
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 4: So that's good.

191
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: You're happy about that. What you need to do, Bucket Brooks,

192
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 2: is open up your check book and send them some money.

193
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 2: So against some nil players next year, that's what you

194
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,839
Speaker 2: need to do. Is an alump as a good alum.

195
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. So here here's what I say about all of that. Like, man,

196
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,719
Speaker 4: you're gonna have the in and io money and all

197
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: of that, but you got to spend it on the

198
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 4: right guys. And the tricky part of it is when

199
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 4: you're giving significant money to unproven commodities, freshmen recruits that

200
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 4: are coming in haven't seen how they're going to handle

201
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: the college game. And when you overpay for some of

202
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: those guys that are coming in, you now create another

203
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 4: issue in the locker room because no matter what anyone says,

204
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: everyone is looking at the bottom line, and if there's

205
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 4: someone making significantly more than everybody else, he needs to

206
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 4: be significantly better as a player. That's not always happening.

207
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 4: So it's a tricky thing. You have to have to

208
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 4: have a great system when it comes to distributing the

209
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 4: money to make sure that it's fair. Doesn't mean that

210
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 4: it's equitable, but it's fair. Everyone feels like they're getting

211
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 4: exactly what they should get based on what they're bringing

212
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 4: to the table.

213
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm glad you brought the the subject of money

214
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: and guilt and green backs or whatever it may be,

215
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 2: because I think that if you're a college coach, it's

216
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 2: very difficul both to turn down that big time money.

217
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 2: All right, And I'll give you an example. Luke Fickle

218
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: was very successful as the coach at the University of Cincinnati,

219
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 2: did well, he really did. They were rolling when he

220
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 2: was there. Then he got this offer to go to Wisconsin.

221
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 2: Went to Wisconsin, not having a good time. But how

222
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 2: do you turn down that money? They lose? Yesterday's the Nebraska,

223
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: of all people. They lost forty four to twenty five

224
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: to Nebraska, and now Nebraska's going to a bowl game

225
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: for the first time since who knows when. But I

226
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: got to believe Luke Fickle could be in trouble now

227
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 2: in Wisconsin. They expect to win a Wisconsin and they're

228
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 2: having problems. Really, but you can't turn down the money,

229
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 2: how you know. They come to him, they offer from

230
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: that check book, and he's got to say, yeah, I

231
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: think I could do that. I want that money, right,

232
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: what do you do? You don't turn it down?

233
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 4: No, I mean, it's hard to turn down the money,

234
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 4: But sometimes I do wonder whether you should leave. Do

235
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 4: you stay at what we call a statue program, or

236
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 4: do you chase the money. For me, I think sometimes

237
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: you need to stay at these statue programs, meaning Cincinnati

238
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,800
Speaker 4: with the erected the statue for Luke Fickle, given the

239
00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 4: success that he had there, correct right, he had had

240
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: it going. He had him in the count football playoffs

241
00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 4: like they were a team that appeared on the rise.

242
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 4: They're moving into a different conference. He should have been

243
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 4: able to dominate the conference. All those things were playing out.

244
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 4: For whatever reason, he wanted to scratch the itch, go

245
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 4: to the Big Ten, take on a different challenge. And

246
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,679
Speaker 4: it hasn't worked out the way that we thought. A

247
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 4: Wisconsin program that has been consistently good, a team that

248
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: has consistently been able to pound people in a very

249
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: conservative way, much like Iowa, but even to a greater degree,

250
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 4: they haven't been able to do that. He just fired

251
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 4: his offensive coordinator feel long ago because they tried to

252
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 4: do something that to me I thought was weird anyway,

253
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 4: bringing air raid passing attack to Wisconsin. Wisconsin is known

254
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 4: for ground and pound. Maybe he'll find his way, but

255
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 4: I do wonder if you asked him and you took

256
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 4: the money out of it, if he regrets leaving a

257
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 4: Cincinnati program where he was the face of the program.

258
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 2: Tell you another guy who may be regretting it is

259
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly. Because I turned on that Vanderbilt game against

260
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,920
Speaker 2: the LSU yesterday that LSU was sweating, but they won

261
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: twenty four to seventeen. But the fans did you hear that?

262
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: With it? Fire Kelly? There was a chant I mean

263
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 2: if you had to be deaf not to hear that

264
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: on TV. They were just chanting for like ten minutes,

265
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 2: fire Kelly. I mean it was unbelievable. I mean, this

266
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: guy had it rolling in Cincinnati. He was decent at

267
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. He wasn't dominant, but he did well at

268
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. The money came to him at LSU. I

269
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 2: gotta believe he's in trouble now. They're seven and four,

270
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 2: and they expect more at LSU than seven and four.

271
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, they certainly expect more. I would say this about

272
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,679
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly. He was the most successful coach at Notre Dame.

273
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 4: That you're fine, right like he I think he's the

274
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 4: all time leader in wins at Notre Dame. I think

275
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: he passed that before he left. The thing about LSU

276
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: and what he jumped into is so hard to sustain

277
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,199
Speaker 4: that level of success, right did they expect they won

278
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 4: national titles? But they've had a tough time keeping coaches

279
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: there for the long haul. It's just hard to win.

280
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 4: That conference makes it hard, that environment makes it hard.

281
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 2: And admission too qualifications.

282
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I just think it's I think it's

283
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 4: a tough job and he has to be up to it.

284
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: And we're seeing some of the cracks because he's become

285
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 4: more animated than ever, more like the Brian Kelly that

286
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: we remember when he first took over Notre Dame. We'll

287
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 4: see if he can find his footing. But it didn't

288
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 4: help that his prize recruit flipped on him to go

289
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 4: to Michigan. That kind of set him off, and so

290
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 4: you just wonder how can he navigate those situations and

291
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 4: circumstances to put himself in a better position to sustain

292
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:36,559
Speaker 4: the success that he's had.

293
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,719
Speaker 2: Okay, the one thing that made me sick gest I

294
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: can't believe that Neon Dion loses to Kansas. I mean

295
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 2: they look bad. I mean Colorado did not look good

296
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: at all. But the good news I guess is Brigham

297
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 2: Young loss as well. But this kid on Kansas, Devin Neil,

298
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,319
Speaker 2: he rushed for three hundred but thirty one yards and

299
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 2: t seven yards four touchdowns. I mean, where they get

300
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 2: this kid, Devin Niel? I mean, honestly, my my big

301
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 2: running back going into the season was Ali Gordon folk

302
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 2: alom the state. You can't find that guy with a

303
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 2: search warrant. Now this guy, Devin Neil puts him to shame. Really, yeah, Devin.

304
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 4: Neil really emerged, local kid, local product who has really

305
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,200
Speaker 4: done it. Over fifty touchdowns during his time AKAU. But

306
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 4: he put that offense on his back. And Colorado not

307
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 4: necessarily new to the major stage. But you know, winning

308
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 4: and when he consistently is hard. And they've readed off

309
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,440
Speaker 4: six or seven straight wins, and you were about was

310
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 4: the focus there? How did they practice? Were they prepared

311
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 4: to go into a street fight?

312
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 6: Er?

313
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 4: Did they think this is gonna be an easy win? Regardless,

314
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: it didn't look like the same Colorado team that we've

315
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 4: seen in the past. The execution was in there, particularly

316
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 4: on the offense and defensively. They can never control the

317
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 4: running game. If you can't stop the run in a

318
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 4: collegiate game, you have a tough time winning, particularly if

319
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 4: the other team has anything of substance on offense. Unbelievable.

320
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: Let me leave you with this house surprised. Were you

321
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 2: that Ohio State really rolled over Indiana? Which I do

322
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 2: believe Indiana is still going to go to the playoffs

323
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,840
Speaker 2: they deserve to thirty. Eight to fifteen was the final.

324
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: Indiana was ranked number five going into that game. To stay,

325
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 2: they're gonna drop maybe to seven or eight, I would think.

326
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: But honestly, the Ohio State defense is sacking their quarterback

327
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 2: Route O'Rourke at Indiana like about four or five times. Yesterday.

328
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 2: They just looked like a different team Ohio State. I

329
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 2: mean really and truly, I thought Indiana was going to

330
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 2: give them a better game. And they were leading seven nothing.

331
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, the roof fell in.

332
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I mean Indiana first big time competition that

333
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: they face. Right, they don't want to hear that. No

334
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 4: one wants to hear that. But let's be honest, they

335
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: kind of had a very favorable schedule and they enabled

336
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 4: them to kind of run out to it a very

337
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 4: impressive record but Ohio State has too many guys, right,

338
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 4: so too many stand up blue chip five star players

339
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 4: and ultimately as a player's game, and they had better

340
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 4: players in Indiana and it showed. And that's why the

341
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 4: game looked the way they didn't look because Ohio State

342
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 4: was a superior team from a talent standpoint.

343
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 2: Unbelievable. Really, Okay, let me leave you with this as

344
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: we stand today on the twenty fourth of November Eastern time,

345
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 2: about six seventeen in the morning, the best team in

346
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 2: nation right now, in your mine, of in your heart

347
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 2: of hearts is who Who's number one? Still? Oregon?

348
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: I think you still have to put Oregon up there,

349
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 4: but they did last weekend as Wisconsin was oppressive, So yeah,

350
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 4: I'll still say the Oregon Ducks are number.

351
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,720
Speaker 2: One, all right. Ohio State is not too far behind.

352
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 2: I wouldn't think right.

353
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 4: Now they're not, but then Oregon took care of them

354
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 4: head to hit, so Oregon always has to rank ahead

355
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 4: of them.

356
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: There you go, Just like when I was yelling with

357
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,320
Speaker 2: you last week with the Detroit Lions and Kansas City Chiefs. However,

358
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs did loose, but we'll get into that later

359
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 2: on today.

360
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:48,960

385
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: let's go back to Thursday, Bucket Brooks and again the

386
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 2: Thursday football game which started off the week. And we

387
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 2: had in that game Nick Chubb looking good again, twenty carries,

388
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 2: fifty nine yards, two touchdowns, game winning with fifty seven

389
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 2: seconds to go. What happened that Cleveland Browns over the

390
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 2: Steelers twenty four to nineteen. And I can't figure out

391
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers whatsoever? Up and down, big wins, poor losses.

392
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't understand how you lose

393
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 2: to the Browns in the snow? Was true football? I

394
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: turned the TV on Thursday night. I love it, and

395
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 2: I watched those guys play. You couldn't even see the

396
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 2: lines on the field because of the snow. But again

397
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 2: the Browns come alive and the Steelers there was a

398
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 2: stinker really was for them?

399
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, it was interesting, Like you think about this

400
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers. They were real position. I had a number

401
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,919
Speaker 4: two in the power rankings. I thought they were a

402
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,040
Speaker 4: team that had the look, a different style, but the

403
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,719
Speaker 4: talent to get it done. And they were dominated aby

404
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,920
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland Browns is always a big game,

405
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 4: but they dominated the game. And so the worry that

406
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 4: you have by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Their style of play

407
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:07,199
Speaker 4: makes it where they can be any team if they

408
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 4: can seduce them into playing their style. But also their

409
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:13,360
Speaker 4: style leaves them vulnerable against teams that aren't as good

410
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 4: as them because you have fewer possessions in those things.

411
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 4: It allowed teams to hang around. They have to be

412
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 4: able to take the loss, very disappointing, bitter rivalry loss,

413
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 4: and somehow use it to make them better as they

414
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: hit down the stretch. Very disappointed ever from the Steelers style.

415
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the Browns had a twelve point lead and

416
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,360
Speaker 2: they blew that lead in the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh

417
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,800
Speaker 2: came back. It was kind of back and forth and ugly,

418
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 2: and it was more I would think, maybe more of

419
00:19:37,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 2: a Pittsburgh losing than Cleveland winning in that game, to

420
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 2: be honest, I mean, they shanked the punt in that game.

421
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 2: It was just kind of ugly. The whole thing was

422
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: ugly but bad loss for the Pittsburgh Steelers. But we

423
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 2: move on and today I said, this team is starting

424
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 2: from scratch and that's going to be the New York

425
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: Football Giants. Daniel Jones quarterback, released Tommy d Tommy DeVito,

426
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 2: The era of Tommy DeVito begins. I don't get it.

427
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 2: I understand why they waited this long. Will you ever

428
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 2: high on Daniel Jones? Do you ever think he was

429
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: going to make it in the National Football League?

430
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 4: When I think about Daniel Jones, the thing that stands

431
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,000
Speaker 4: out to me is he had the talent to do it,

432
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 4: but he needed the right circumstance, meaning he needed to

433
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 4: write support and cast around him to really beat his best.

434
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 4: They had that when they had Saquon Barkley. They never

435
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,200
Speaker 4: had a true number one receiver around him to maximize

436
00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 4: his talent. The offensive line was in flux, the tide

437
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,320
Speaker 4: end position was pretty much non existent. So you have

438
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: Travis Henry, but you can't I mean, you have people

439
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,880
Speaker 4: around it, like when you have Barkley, that was good,

440
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 4: but you can't do it with like Singletary. Devin Singletary

441
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:44,639
Speaker 4: is not going to give him enough support on the

442
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: ground and as a receiver at the backfield to allow

443
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 4: him to succeed as what I call a game manager

444
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 4: type quarterback. The thing that you look for Daniel Jones

445
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 4: next stop. Does he have the firepower around him where

446
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 4: he can just be a pass first point guard. He

447
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,199
Speaker 4: doesn't have to score whatever, he can just distribute, get

448
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 4: out the way, do the thing, make sure everyone's on

449
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,119
Speaker 4: the page, same page. If he does that to the

450
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 4: next team that he joins, we'll have with all of

451
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: success in one day.

452
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna say this, This game to me doesn't

453
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: really mean much. I said it means Sunday for Tampa Bay,

454
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: and I think that it means more to them than

455
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 2: the Giants. I think they'll win this game. But the

456
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 2: big question here is what do the Giants do now

457
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,920
Speaker 2: for the future in their quarterback position. And look, Justin

458
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 2: Fields is going to be a free agent out of possibility.

459
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 2: Sam Donald maybe, you know, well, for the Minnesota Vikings.

460
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,400
Speaker 2: They go for him on the college route. Maybe cam

461
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,440
Speaker 2: Ward Miami quin you Weers Texas. I don't know, Carson Beck.

462
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 2: There's not a great quarterback class coming out of there.

463
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Milroe had three ants yesterday Alabama. These guys worthy

464
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 2: of coming to the NFL and going to the Giants,

465
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 2: whether it be around when the Giants pick, I don't know.

466
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: I means, what are they going to do for a quarterback?

467
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, challenge situation for the Giants. You want someone who's

468
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 4: ready to play right away, but I can't say that

469
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,919
Speaker 4: that's in this class. And if you're Joe Shane, if

470
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 4: you're Brian Daboll, guys that you want to work with.

471
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 4: Who's the one that has immediate potential but also has

472
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: long term petition to develop into a franchise caliber player,

473
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 4: a top five player the position. I don't know. There's

474
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 4: no one in their current landscape. So they have to

475
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:15,919
Speaker 4: figure out how to build the organization without having a

476
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 4: franchise quarterback intil first time the Giants. They've ever had

477
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 4: to do it in a long time. But that's what

478
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 4: they need to start with.

479
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 2: You know, I know the mindset in New York, and

480
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 2: I know what they're gonna do. They're gonna go for

481
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,520
Speaker 2: shaduor Sanders because of the hype and the PR and

482
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 2: people are gonna go crazy with the Dion and you know,

483
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 2: the PR news conference and things like that. I don't know,

484
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 2: and I'm not so certain shaduor Sanders is gonna be

485
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 2: a great NFL quarterback. You know better than I, but

486
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 2: I'm just thinking that's that's the direction I think the

487
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 2: Giants may go.

488
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: And what do you think I mean they could? I mean,

489
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 4: like you obviously think about like New York box office,

490
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 4: big stage, bright lights. Sanders has handled all of that,

491
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: but from an organizational standpoint, they normally haven't gone after

492
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 4: those guys. They're more i'll say blue caller, more buttoned

493
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 4: up than kind of loosey goosey. That's why it didn't

494
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,479
Speaker 4: appear on the surface that his personality would match up.

495
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 4: But you know, desperation will lead you to do different things,

496
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,439
Speaker 4: and they are desperate to get back on track, looking

497
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 4: to do anything and everything to try to fix the

498
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 4: quarterback position.

499
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Let me remind everybody that we're

500
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: coming to you live from the tire rack dot Com Studios,

501
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 2: and we move on right now to the Kansas City

502
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 2: Chiefs who lost. They're playing at the Panthers this week,

503
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 2: and I think that's good medicine for coming back right now.

504
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 2: And look, you talk about the Chiefs, they lost their

505
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: first thirty twenty one in Buffalo last week, Travis Kelcey

506
00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,719
Speaker 2: right now, two catches for eight yards. What is it,

507
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey? Are we seeing like the downfall of Travis

508
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: Kelcey who's just not getting a lot of support because

509
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 2: they're double teaming him.

510
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 4: Well, I mean leading up to that, he had thirty

511
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: two receptions in three games. You know, they just did

512
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 4: a good job of neutralizing him. He's the main cock

513
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 4: on the offense. He and you know the veterans as

514
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: a DeAndre Hopkins, Juju Smith, Schuster. They got a fit

515
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: of those guys to play bigger roles than they anticipated.

516
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 4: Not ideal, but they certainly can get it done. It's

517
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 4: about winning and winning each game and as long as

518
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: they as they found different ways to win the game,

519
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 4: you have to be okay with it. They just have

520
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 4: to find what is needed each week to any game.

521
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 2: You said something very interesting last week, and I kind

522
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 2: of resonated in my mind because Kansas City, everybody was

523
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 2: talking about Patrick Mahomes having the worst year he's had

524
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,520
Speaker 2: statistically flowing interceptions. Say, all they want to do is

525
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 2: get into the playoffs, and then they move into the

526
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: next gear and they started rolling when they get into

527
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and maybe that's what they're going to do. Look,

528
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: I think that they wanted to beat Buffalo in Buffalo,

529
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 2: but I don't think it's devastating because I think when

530
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,680
Speaker 2: the playoffs come, they'll probably meet Buffalo again.

531
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean, they certainly have different years. And the

532
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 4: thing that you have to avoid if you do can't

533
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 4: say the Chiefs is succumbing to the boredom. Right, the

534
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: boredom is I got to play all these regular season

535
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:00,600
Speaker 4: games before we can get to the play playoffs. Can

536
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 4: I stay locked in and engaged to make sure we

537
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 4: handle our business in the regular season and we can

538
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: enjoy the fun of the postseason because that's where they've

539
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 4: really defined themselves. Andy Reid has a tough job because

540
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:13,600
Speaker 4: they've done it for so long, they've had so much success.

541
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 4: Everyone can kind of say, hey, coach, we got this.

542
00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 4: But it's really important that they keeps them locked in

543
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 4: so they don't slip and they don't lose any of

544
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,200
Speaker 4: these games that should be penciled in because Dad determines

545
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: whether you really have home field advantage. The race now

546
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 4: is for the number one seed, because home field advantage

547
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 4: is a huge advantage this time of year, no.

548
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 2: Doubt about that. Okay, you played the game. I didn't.

549
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: You played the game in the National Football League. I

550
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 2: played the game on eightieth Street in Brooklyn, two handtucks.

551
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: It's a difference, but I understand that. Okay. But here's

552
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 2: the thing. When you look at the team that Carolina Panthers.

553
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: Do they come out there and the coaching staff is, hey, look,

554
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 2: you know we're playing Kansas City. They lost last week,

555
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 2: they're down. We got a chance to beat them. Or

556
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,760
Speaker 2: do the Kansas City Chiefs come out and say, look,

557
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 2: we're coming back and we're going to show everybody that

558
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 2: basically you know, well we're not dead. We're going to

559
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: roll and they may beat this team like by three

560
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 2: touchdowns today. Well do they just throw that out the window.

561
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,680
Speaker 2: And it's not like I mean, in college and even

562
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: in high school, you know, the coaches would really use

563
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 2: every bit of hype they can. They got the bulletin board,

564
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: they put the clippings on the bulletin board. Is that

565
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 2: done in the National Football League or No?

566
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 4: Not as much. You have to anticipate every NFL game

567
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: going down to the wires. It's gonna be a seven

568
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 4: score game. I mean a seven point game. That's it.

569
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 4: It can get sideways if you're playing a team that's

570
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 4: not locked in and focused. They're ready to go home.

571
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:39,120
Speaker 4: It's time to put them to sleep. Then you see

572
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 4: the blowout wins. But normally that comes from one good

573
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: team being another good team. Everything is kind of hitting

574
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,120
Speaker 4: or falling their way.

575
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 2: All right, they'll talk about a good team. The Cowboys

576
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 2: right now are not a good team. They're playing at

577
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,040
Speaker 2: the Commanders today and come in there are a pretty

578
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 2: good team. Cowboys got blown out by the Texans thirty

579
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,199
Speaker 2: four to ten. That was ugly on Monday night. Cowboys,

580
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 2: here's the thing ken their defense, lockdown Steve Terry McLaurin

581
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,040
Speaker 2: on the Commanders. That's the big deal right now, the Cowboys.

582
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,199
Speaker 2: What do you gotta do? It's quite easy. If I'm

583
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 2: a coordinator, here's my plan right now. Don't let Washington

584
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 2: get the ball. You've got to run the football if

585
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 2: they can. Can they run the ball with Rico dald

586
00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:17,640
Speaker 2: Can they run that football, run down the clock, control

587
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 2: the game, and obviously I have no turnovers. It's really

588
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,200
Speaker 2: that easy if you can do it. Cowboys have lost

589
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 2: five straight games, which is unbelievable. Jerry Jones must be

590
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,880
Speaker 2: pulling the remaining hairs out of his head right now.

591
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 2: I don't get it. I don't understand how bad they

592
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: could be. But I know, you know, without Dak Prescott,

593
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,359
Speaker 2: you know, and you got Cooper Rush there, it's a

594
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 2: different animal. And look, I'm gonna say this and tell

595
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 2: me if I'm wrong. It's not that Cooper Rush is

596
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,919
Speaker 2: a bad quarterback. I think it's a whole new system

597
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,280
Speaker 2: and a whole new deal when you have a different

598
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 2: quarterback running the ball club. They're used to Dak Prescott.

599
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 2: They're not used to Cooper Rush. They don't practice with

600
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:50,480
Speaker 2: this guy.

601
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, chemistry certainly plays the part of it,

602
00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 4: and they don't have the same connection as they do

603
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 4: with Dak Prescott. But that's not an excuse. He's taking

604
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,480
Speaker 4: this for two weeks now. They should be on the

605
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 4: same page. I would say that he Sometimes what you

606
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 4: have is you're a victim of your own success. You

607
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 4: just can't sustain it. It's really hard to win in

608
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 4: the league, and I think that's why you see in

609
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 4: the teams that are able to do it back to

610
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 4: back of years, Like there's a hat tip that has

611
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 4: to go to them just because of all the pressure,

612
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 4: all the injuries, all the other stuff, they're venture even winning.

613
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 2: Look, I will tell you right now, and I've said

614
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 2: this time and time again, I have never seen anybody

615
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: do a statistic on this, and I think that one

616
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 2: day I'm going to get myself in gear and do it.

617
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 2: Last week, Cooper rushed the quarterback for the Cowboys was

618
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 2: thirty two for fifty five through for three to fifty

619
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 2: four in a touchdown. I would say that any quarterback

620
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,000
Speaker 2: that throws maybe thirty five or forty or more passes

621
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 2: a game, there's a real good chance that that team

622
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 2: is losing or will lose the game. And I think

623
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: the statistics should be done. And they talk about turnovers

624
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:57,239
Speaker 2: and the National Football League of a team, as you know,

625
00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: fourth turnovers, three turnovers is a good chance they're gonna lose.

626
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: They talk about third down conversions, But I've never seen

627
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 2: the statistic about quarterback attempts and the teams win or

628
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,280
Speaker 2: lost record with a forty or more attempts. Have you

629
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 2: ever seen anything like that? Because I gotta believe if

630
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,720
Speaker 2: you're throwing the football more than forty times a game,

631
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,160
Speaker 2: there's a pretty good chance you're going to lose that

632
00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 2: game or you have lost.

633
00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's hard to control the game when you don't

634
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 4: run the football. Run the football loves you control it

635
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 4: because you can dictate the terms not only in terms

636
00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 4: of front and situation, but the amount of total possessions

637
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: in the game. You can sort it away and really

638
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: try and win as a minimalist. That's why it's important

639
00:29:38,800 --> 00:29:40,360
Speaker 4: to run the football. And we can look at all

640
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 4: the studies that talk about play action and all this

641
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 4: other stuff and why that's really the key behind it.

642
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 4: Put you got to force people to defend the run.

643
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 4: You gotta be able to have enough toughness in your

644
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 4: team to be able to win some of these hard downs.

645
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 4: The only way you get that is mastering those tough

646
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 4: and violent situations.

647
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 2: And look, you're told mastering the runner. It does so

648
00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: many things. Number one, it keeps the other team's defense

649
00:30:02,720 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 2: on the field. It runs down the clock, and especially

650
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: in the cold weather and cold weather climate, is very

651
00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 2: difficult to pass the football. Sometimes you can't even see

652
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: I've watched games where there's such a fog on the

653
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,240
Speaker 2: field you can't even see it on TV. So running

654
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: the football is so important that like, over the last

655
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: several years, we've heard stories that, you know, the running

656
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,040
Speaker 2: back is going to be extinct, that's never going to happen.

657
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,680
Speaker 2: Maybe the full back position, and it has been I

658
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 2: think said maybe La and Baltimore, the two teams I

659
00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 2: really use a fullback right now. But really and truly

660
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 2: that running back position will never be extinct because it's

661
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 2: a great tool for the offense just to run down

662
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 2: the clock. I don't understand why people don't do that.

663
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,320
Speaker 2: For the Giants to let Sae Kwon Barkley go, who

664
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 2: is like almost seventy percent of their offense a year ago,

665
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: shame on them, Shame on them. And again, I love

666
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 2: say Kwon Barkley, and I hope he gets that, you know,

667
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 2: the offensive player of the year what he inmight he

668
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 2: just might get that. But I think that the running

669
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 2: back is there, It's there to stay and it always

670
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:00,239
Speaker 2: will day.

671
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we've seen a bit of a market correction,

672
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,120
Speaker 4: right So for years we talked about the devaluation of

673
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: the running back, but now we're seeing how centre they

674
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,520
Speaker 4: are to the offense. It's not a coincidence that Saquorn Barkley,

675
00:31:11,960 --> 00:31:16,200
Speaker 4: Josh Jacobs Derrick Henry are really flourishing on successful teams.

676
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: They're a big part of the offense and when the

677
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: offense needs to settle down, they able to stick the

678
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 4: ball in the abilities of a veteran elite runner. More

679
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: teams going to look for that. That's why I expect

680
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 4: it to be a different looking draft this year than

681
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 4: it's been in the past.

682
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 2: All Right, they got a backup quarterback again in Miami.

683
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:32,880
Speaker 2: The Patriots are playing with the Dolphins, and there it

684
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 2: was a backup. Now too is back. But the Dolphins

685
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 2: really and truly have more at stake today, and I

686
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: think that means a big deal for a team they

687
00:31:39,640 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: know they got a playoff deal of staring them in

688
00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 2: the face and basically the Patriots stone. But your guy

689
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 2: Drake made for North Carolina had his best day as

690
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 2: a rookie last week against the Rams two or th

691
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 2: eighty two yards, two touchdowns. They did lose the game

692
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: twenty eight twenty two, and he did throw a game

693
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: losing interception in that loss. But I do believe the

694
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 2: Dolphins right now have so much more to gain a

695
00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 2: playoff that is, and the Patriots that's why they they'll

696
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,840
Speaker 2: probably win that game. I think they're a better team

697
00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 2: than the Patriots. So what they got to do. They

698
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 2: have to have those long drives on offense for the Dolphins,

699
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 2: keep the football, control of football, and that's it. And

700
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,600
Speaker 2: the Dolphins come right back on Thanksgiving night, another big one.

701
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: They played Green Bay Thanksgiving Night. So it's big, big

702
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 2: week for Miami Dolphins and their fans.

703
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, big week. And this is one that takes some

704
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: maturity from the team. Mike McDaniels says, to get the

705
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:27,840
Speaker 4: team going, they have to be able to take care

706
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 4: of business. Some of that is going to be tough

707
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 4: by the designer of the offense. Their offense is more

708
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 4: smoking mirrors, gimmis and gadgets as opposed to old school blueprints.

709
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 4: So they got to make sure that they do enough

710
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:41,800
Speaker 4: to reach out to the league before they get the

711
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 4: fancy stuff going.

712
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: All right, And they had a pretty good win two

713
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 2: weeks to go inst the Rams last week beating Vegas

714
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: and again, you know, people look at the one loss records.

715
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 2: I look at the teams that they be at times,

716
00:32:51,520 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 2: and I think, you know, people always say, well, anybody

717
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,240
Speaker 2: could beat anybody on a given day. Vegas is not

718
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,360
Speaker 2: a good team. This year thirty four to nineteen, and

719
00:32:57,400 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 2: I feel bad because I love the coach, I really do.

720
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 2: I think he's an amazing man. I think he's he

721
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: has that ego and he has that Detroit Lion coaching background,

722
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. I mean, he has

723
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 2: that will that players want to fight for him. But

724
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 2: you don't have a quarterback. And there's no quarterback in Vegas.

725
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 2: If there's no quarterback, you're not gonna win. That's the problem,

726
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: you know. And they got to get a quarterback. And

727
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it, you know, I

728
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 2: don't know how you get I don't know how you

729
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,200
Speaker 2: uptain a quarterback. How do you do that?

730
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 4: Bucky?

731
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: Really, they need a quarterback. What are they gonna do?

732
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:31,479
Speaker 2: They're gonna draft pretty high. The class is not that

733
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: good for quarterbacks. What do you do if you're Vegas.

734
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 4: You double up, You try and find another veteran garnament choosing.

735
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 4: I did try and find another veteran to go with

736
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 4: a high draft pick to see if you can secure

737
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 4: the position. But you don't know about young quarterbacks until

738
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 4: you get him in the building. And so we can

739
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 4: talk about Shader Sanders and some of the young quarterbacks

740
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 4: in the class. All of them have question marks. And

741
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 4: you know is do you want to cast her a

742
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:58,479
Speaker 4: lot on that or do you want to dance in

743
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 4: a more traditional way. Either way, is gonna be expensive

744
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:03,360
Speaker 4: to get a quarterback and they need one to win

745
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 4: right now on.

746
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:07,120

Speaker 3: Okay?

755
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:31,360
Speaker 2: Now what live on the ti iraq dot com studios

756
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:31,839
Speaker 2: and the.

757
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: Way we go?

758
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,520
Speaker 2: Ready for ask Bucky. Let's do it, Bucky. This is

759
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 2: a tricky one and maybe I'm pushing the envelope a

760
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 2: little too much to here we go. If the normal

761
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 2: week starts on a Sunday, everybody starts there with on

762
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 2: a Sunday. Please tell me why there's the NFL week

763
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,800
Speaker 2: start on a Thursday and it ends on a Monday.

764
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 2: I don't get it, am I that stupid? Really everybody

765
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 2: starts the week on Sunday except the NFL. Why is that?

766
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 4: Ah? They do that because of TV, Like it's a

767
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 4: perfect opportunity to take advantage of the week. You think

768
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 4: about how normal TV shows like, going all the way back,

769
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,960
Speaker 4: the best TV shows were on Thursday nights. It is

770
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 4: a optimal night for TV viewing. And so you take Thursday,

771
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 4: you take Saturday, you take Sunday and Monday. Why not

772
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 4: dominate the television viewing calendar. So that's why the NFL

773
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 4: has done it.

774
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 2: So the NFL starts they week on Thursday. Okay, that

775
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 2: it ends on Monday. Okay, Now I got it, Thank

776
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 2: you very much. Now I got the answer. Okay, where

777
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: will Aaron Rodgers play next year?

778
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 4: You shouldn't play anywhere. You shouldn't play anywhere. But that's

779
00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:35,600
Speaker 4: that's just what it is. I mean, he's gonna try

780
00:35:35,600 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 4: and play. But I can't imagine anyone looking at him

781
00:35:37,960 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 4: this year and saying, oh, I have to have that.

782
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:45,359
Speaker 4: He's look he struggled, He's had a significant issue when

783
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 4: it comes to completion percentage. And efficiency and making good plays.

784
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 4: I just look, I think it's over. I think it's

785
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 4: a done deal.

786
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,759
Speaker 2: Wow, he doesn't know that, but I think you're right.

787
00:35:57,280 --> 00:36:00,000
Speaker 2: They said, what are you Johnson? The owner of the Jets.

788
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: He wants some bench now. I mean, I guess he's

789
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: got a lot of Look, he's the owner. Gotta have

790
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 2: that input. But he may have more input than Jerry

791
00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 2: Jones does. We don't hear much about him. He doesn't

792
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 2: have his radio show like Jerry does every week. But

793
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,360
Speaker 2: I mean he'd be he'd be a bear to work for,

794
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:14,800
Speaker 2: wouldn't hey, Woody Johnson.

795
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he'd be absolutely terrible to work for.

796
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: Right, and I'm hearing now right an issue. He'd be terrible.

797
00:36:22,719 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 2: It really whipped I'm here and now in the in

798
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,239
Speaker 2: the wilderness out there that Rex Ryan wants to coach

799
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: the Jets again. And he did win when he coached

800
00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:32,880
Speaker 2: the Jets. I mean, is that a possibility? Do you

801
00:36:32,920 --> 00:36:34,800
Speaker 2: see Rex coming back to coach the Jets?

802
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:38,799
Speaker 4: Man, that's a tough one. I can't see that. Like

803
00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:40,880
Speaker 4: they had some success there, he's been the most successful

804
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,439
Speaker 4: law the recent coaches. I can't see him getting that job.

805
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,520
Speaker 4: But I don't know who takes that job. To be honest,

806
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 4: it's a tough job for someone to get. But I mean,

807
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:52,279
Speaker 4: give Rix's reddit, like, if he's able to pull it off,

808
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 4: that that would be terrific. I just can't see him

809
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 4: doing it. I can't see him doing.

810
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me stay with this for a second with you,

811
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,919
Speaker 2: But coaches have. Every coach an ego. I think every

812
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:03,160
Speaker 2: coach thinks that they could get it done and they

813
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,279
Speaker 2: could win. Otherwise you wouldn't be a coach. You have

814
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,640
Speaker 2: to have confidence. I know. I heard the coach Signetty

815
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: at Indiana after he won and it became ten and

816
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 2: oh two weeks ago. They interviewed him after the game.

817
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,960
Speaker 2: He said, I came here, I knew i'd win. I

818
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:17,839
Speaker 2: know we'd win, right. I mean, that's a great attitude.

819
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 2: You don't usually hear that from a coach. But most

820
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 2: coaches think that, well, I can get it done. And

821
00:37:23,400 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: if you don't feel that way, he shouldn't be coaching.

822
00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 2: So I think there's going to be at least thirty

823
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 2: one other guys in and around the National Football League.

824
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,200
Speaker 2: I think that they could get it done in New

825
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: York with the Jets.

826
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,880
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I guess so. I just I just

827
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:38,600
Speaker 4: find it horrid to think that you can be able

828
00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 4: to pull it off like that. But you're right, like

829
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 4: there are a bunch of people that think they can

830
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,400
Speaker 4: get it done in that regard. I just, man, I

831
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 4: just think it's a horror gig. I think it's a

832
00:37:47,239 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 4: horror gig to get done.

833
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:50,959
Speaker 2: All right, here's the story which I hated to see

834
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 2: on TV just the other day, but there's a reported

835
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 2: rash of burglaries among NFL and NBA players. How serious

836
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,000
Speaker 2: really is this? And did you ever hear about this?

837
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 2: When you play it? I'm thinking, like these guys go

838
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,480
Speaker 2: on social media, they realize where these guys live, and

839
00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 2: they realize that they're out of town, you know, when

840
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: they're playing away games, so they rob their home. But

841
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 2: you got to believe someone's got to be home and

842
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 2: they may have a burglar system or a lamp system.

843
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: I don't understand how this happens. I mean, have you

844
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:18,480
Speaker 2: been reading and hearing about these stories.

845
00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:22,959
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's more prevalent. It's unfortunate, but yeah, like there's

846
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:25,480
Speaker 4: more access to everything. People putting the addresses up on

847
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:29,719
Speaker 4: the web, people know where you are. You know, the

848
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:34,200
Speaker 4: one thing about access, you know, it comes with some

849
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 4: fear and some concerns, And the concerns are that it

850
00:38:36,920 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 4: couldn't given to the wrong people. Bad things like this

851
00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,399
Speaker 4: stuff can happen. But yeah, there's been an uptacking those

852
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,320
Speaker 4: things for sure.

853
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 2: You know what, I don't understand this. I don't understand

854
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:49,200
Speaker 2: that when people go on vacation they put pictures of

855
00:38:49,239 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 2: their vacation on social media. That's like saying, that's inviting

856
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: criminals to come to your house because they know you're

857
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 2: not home. Put the pictures on when you get back home,

858
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,080
Speaker 2: not when you're on vacation. And honestly, who cares. No

859
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: one cares. I don't get How stupid can you be

860
00:39:03,600 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 2: to do that?

861
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 4: Right?

862
00:39:04,239 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 2: I mean I don't get it. I really don't.

863
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: I mean it's I mean, it's it's a different thing,

864
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 4: for sure, you know, no doubt. Yeah it's weird.

865
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 5: Man.

866
00:39:14,440 --> 00:39:15,960

899
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,440
Speaker 2: I don't I like looking at it. You know, if

900
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:46,040
Speaker 2: I'm watching a Hallmark special on TV watching the snow,

901
00:40:46,120 --> 00:40:48,279
Speaker 2: that's fine, but I don't want to be involved in it.

902
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 2: I don't like the idea you have to put, you know,

903
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: extra clothing on it. I don't I don't want to

904

Speaker 2: go into that. I like I like the summer. I

905
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:56,799
Speaker 2: like summertime. I liked it when I used to live

906
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 2: in Florida. I like the weather. But you know, it

907
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:02,920
Speaker 2: was very difficult living in Florida. Seeing Christmas trees on

908
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 2: Christmas Day when it's eighty five degrees. I thought that

909
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 2: was kind of strange. We're in shorts.

910
00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 4: So he did it. Yeah, he didn't like that. Yeah,

911
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: it's crazy he did. Didn't like it. Didn't like the

912
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:14,040

Speaker 2: Green Bay to play in lambeau Field to take on

925
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: the Packers. And the Rams are hosting the Eagles on

926
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 2: Sunday Night football. And look, you kind of broke it

927
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,399
Speaker 2: down as to why and how and who will win

928
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 2: in the West. And I'll tell you what, who would

929
00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 2: have thunk it that the West is back right now?

930
00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:03,600
Speaker 2: I guess the toughest division in football used to be

931
00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:07,000
Speaker 2: the NFC AFC North. What happened? How the change of

932
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:08,480
Speaker 2: power happen overnight?

933
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:08,799
Speaker 4: Like that?

934
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:09,520
Speaker 5: Uh?

935
00:42:09,960 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 4: You know, I think what you have is teams in

936
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:16,400
Speaker 4: transition like you had, not only new coaching staffs and

937
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:18,040
Speaker 4: some of the with some of those teams, so in

938
00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,480
Speaker 4: Seattle and Arizona respective within the last two years, they

939
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 4: flipped the coaching staff, the old holdovers, the Niners and Rams.

940
00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:28,160
Speaker 4: You had to transition to team because it got older.

941
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 4: Money dictated, salary cap dictated that you had to flip

942
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:34,320
Speaker 4: the roster, and so you have teams trying to correct

943
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:37,480
Speaker 4: their salary cap situation while also facing some teams that

944
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:41,360
Speaker 4: are trying to run a different program, a new program.

945
00:42:41,400 --> 00:42:43,760
Speaker 4: So this this kind of part for the course it happens,

946
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 4: is just one of those things that because of that,

947
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: you got to be on your p's and q's, and

948
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 4: you got to be able to handle the change that

949
00:42:50,920 --> 00:42:52,960
Speaker 4: goes within your division as you're trying to build a

950
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,200
Speaker 4: team that can win the division.

951
00:42:54,239 --> 00:42:57,320
Speaker 2: I'm going to say this, the more I watch NFL football,

952
00:42:57,360 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 2: the less I know, really, and I admit that. I'll

953
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:01,359
Speaker 2: tell you why I say that. I wish others would

954
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,399
Speaker 2: have bit the same thing, because there were so many

955
00:43:03,480 --> 00:43:06,439
Speaker 2: people back in the day that said Geno Smith is mad,

956
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:08,680
Speaker 2: he'll never make it, he's finished. I remember when he

957
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,960
Speaker 2: got punched out, someone broke his jaw when he was

958
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: playing for the Jets. Now he's back, you know, he's unbelievable.

959
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 2: And you're saying that he's the perfect point guard to

960
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: do the job as a passer with great distribution for

961
00:43:21,080 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks. I mean, what happened to Gino Smith?

962
00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:24,359
Speaker 6: Is?

963
00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: Did he get better? Is it the offensive coordinated, the

964
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,759
Speaker 2: people surrounding him, the system? How did all of a

965
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:32,200
Speaker 2: sudden people and that won't admit it. People won't admit it.

966
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: I thought he was finished. Really, ma me get a

967
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,040
Speaker 2: broken jaw and he came back to play. I mean,

968
00:43:36,040 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 2: it's unreal. I mean, this guy has really carried this

969
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:39,560
Speaker 2: team on his back.

970
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:42,759
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, I mean, like I think what it proves

971
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 4: to you is, whenever we're looking at quarterbacks and players,

972
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 4: you really got to examine the environment. Gino Smith goes

973
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: to the Jets. We talked about the dysfunction of the

974
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,480
Speaker 4: Jets earlier. He never really got an opportunity to get

975
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 4: his career off the ground because he has so much

976
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 4: dysfunction around him. Had to bounce around a little bit,

977
00:43:58,560 --> 00:43:59,920
Speaker 4: had to go to New York, had to deal with

978
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:03,560
Speaker 4: charging other teams. And he finally gets an opportunity to

979
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:06,640
Speaker 4: sit and learn and eventually get his chance in Seattle

980
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,919
Speaker 4: and he's made the most of it. It just shows you, man,

981
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 4: how razor thin the margins are when it comes to

982
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:14,759
Speaker 4: who can and who can't play in this league. You

983
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:17,919
Speaker 4: really have to look at the situation, who's coaching them,

984
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 4: who's around them, and where they at in their career

985
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to a maturity standpoint before determining whether

986
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,399
Speaker 4: someone can or can't do it.

987
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 2: If I learned one thing from you, and I learned

988
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: a lot more than one, the fact is that I

989
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,399
Speaker 2: see coaching means so much. I never thought it really

990
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:37,080
Speaker 2: meant that much. And he got a different coach in

991
00:44:37,120 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: a various situation. It just changes. Look at Dan Campbell

992
00:44:41,400 --> 00:44:44,000
Speaker 2: in Detroit, I mean, really and truly what he's done

993
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 2: in Detroit. I mean you just look at the coaches,

994
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: look at the teams that are successful, and look at

995
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,919
Speaker 2: the coaches that are there. That's the key right there,

996
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:52,880
Speaker 2: And I'll say it right now. The team in my

997
00:44:52,920 --> 00:44:55,799
Speaker 2: neighborhood right now, the CINCINNTI Bengals. I'm not that high

998
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 2: on Zach Taylor. I just think maybe he's not the

999
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:00,879
Speaker 2: great motivator. I don't think maybe he it's get these

1000
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:02,920
Speaker 2: teams ready. I don't know, I don't know what the

1001
00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: answer is. But I think that's a better team than

1002
00:45:05,880 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 2: their record shows, and I think their talent is being

1003
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:12,600
Speaker 2: somewhat wasted. That's my take on that. I just think

1004
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,520
Speaker 2: that if Andy Reid or Dan Campbell will coaching the

1005
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,000
Speaker 2: CINCINNTI Bengals, they'd be in a lot better shape. That

1006
00:45:18,080 --> 00:45:20,400
Speaker 2: team should never have lost an opening Day to the

1007
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: New England Patriots. There's no way in my mind they

1008
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 2: should have lost that game.

1009
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:28,920
Speaker 4: M Saucy belluts Zach Taylor and his slow cook philosophy

1010
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:31,239
Speaker 4: when it comes to getting his team ready to play.

1011
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:32,440
Speaker 4: There are a lot of people that feel their way

1012
00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:34,200
Speaker 4: about the Bengals. They give away too many games at

1013
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,759
Speaker 4: the beginning of the year, games that are winnable games,

1014
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,520
Speaker 4: but because they haven't maybe attacked training camp the right way,

1015
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:44,239
Speaker 4: they just kind of stumbled out the gate. And I'll

1016
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:46,319
Speaker 4: say this, the biggest indictment on Zach Taylor has been

1017
00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:52,120
Speaker 4: his players recently coming out not in They didn't really

1018
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,439
Speaker 4: put him in the line of fire, but he kind

1019
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,280
Speaker 4: of got some side shots at him from Jamar Chase

1020
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 4: and others about the team not being read. It's above

1021
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,360
Speaker 4: my pay grade. Talked to the coaches YadA, YadA, YadA.

1022
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:07,359
Speaker 4: It just doesn't feel right. We're going to need Zach

1023
00:46:07,400 --> 00:46:12,440
Speaker 4: Sator to address this stuff and to come back a stronger, sturdy,

1024
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:16,040
Speaker 4: or tougher coach. The talent is there, they need someone.

1025
00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 4: They're begging for someone to take a heavier hand with

1026
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 4: them and kind of showed them how to win.

1027
00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 2: As a former player, I'll ask you this question. Do

1028
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 2: players look at a coach and say, what have you done?

1029
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:29,279
Speaker 2: Why should I listen to you? What I mean by

1030
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 2: that is Zach Taylor came here not really with a

1031
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 2: great resume as a player. And more than that, he

1032
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:36,359
Speaker 2: came here not even as a head coach. He came

1033
00:46:36,400 --> 00:46:38,800
Speaker 2: as a quarterback coach from the Rams, so it didn't

1034
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: have much under his belt. I go back in time,

1035
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:44,920
Speaker 2: I look at history and I remember when Boomer asias

1036
00:46:44,960 --> 00:46:47,759
Speaker 2: And was coaching was quarterback in the Cincinnati Bengals. The

1037
00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: quarterback coach at the time was a guy but the

1038
00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:52,759
Speaker 2: name of Dana Bible and Boomer and Dana Bible did

1039
00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 2: never see eye to eye and it was like, you know,

1040
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,800
Speaker 2: hot and cold. And I just don't think Boomer sias

1041
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,520
Speaker 2: And respected him because Dana Bible or accomplished anything. Is

1042
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 2: that true with many athletes in the National Football League.

1043
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:11,879
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's something to that. I think

1044
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:14,520
Speaker 4: there's something too, like checking the resumes and kind of

1045
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 4: seeing what they have and those things. But you know,

1046
00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 4: what you hope is you get a situation where the

1047
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 4: respect is there and you just you understand what the

1048
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 4: coach wants from you. The coach is trying to teach

1049
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:32,840
Speaker 4: you something that's going to help you improve as a player,

1050
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 4: you trust him and it works out. Then you really

1051
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 4: begin to buy into the program and so but it's

1052
00:47:40,440 --> 00:47:43,120
Speaker 4: a long process and coaches have to do a really

1053
00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:46,120
Speaker 4: good job of working breaking down those barriers to get

1054
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:49,560
Speaker 4: players to really trust what they're saying. It can be done,

1055
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 4: and you don't have to be a former player to

1056
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 4: do it, but it takes time or you got to

1057
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 4: nurture that relationship to get everyone on the same page.

1058
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get back to the West right now. I'm

1059
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 2: sorry I kind of went up the road there. I

1060
00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,480
Speaker 2: mean a little bit of a detoy said they may

1061
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:02,560
Speaker 2: win Seattle may win because of the play of the

1062
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 2: offensive Gino Smith. Now you say, why they may not

1063
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 2: win the division because of a leaky defense, right, they

1064
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,080
Speaker 2: run defense where they're giving like something almost one hundred

1065
00:48:11,080 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: and forty rushing yards a game that ranks like twenty seventh.

1066
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:14,399
Speaker 4: In the league.

1067
00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,840
Speaker 2: So in your heart of hearts, you don't think Seattle

1068
00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:22,440
Speaker 2: will win the division because the defense will hurt them.

1069
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:26,440
Speaker 4: I'll worry about that. I worry about the division. I

1070
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,919
Speaker 4: worry about them't winning the division because they're not able

1071
00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 4: to stop, to run and control the game. They play

1072
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:34,120
Speaker 4: a lot, They've surrendered a lot of time with possession,

1073
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,359
Speaker 4: a lot of rushing yards. I just worry about their

1074
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,400
Speaker 4: defense keeping them from maximizing the talent that their offense has.

1075
00:48:40,800 --> 00:48:44,160
Speaker 2: All Right, moving along, let's go to the Arizona o'conninallls

1076
00:48:44,200 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: to the regular six and four. I am shocked. I'm

1077
00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,720
Speaker 2: shocked to Kyler Murray a man. A year ago people

1078
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:50,600
Speaker 2: were looking at this guy, said he would go into

1079
00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:53,360
Speaker 2: his own room by himself, looking at video games and

1080
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:55,960
Speaker 2: things like that. Now you know, now he may get

1081
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 2: the comeback player of the year. He may even get

1082
00:48:58,160 --> 00:49:00,200
Speaker 2: the offense he beget vote for the offensive player of

1083
00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 2: the year. This team right now, he's carrying them on

1084
00:49:03,239 --> 00:49:04,720
Speaker 2: his back. I look, I think he's got some great

1085
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 2: players to work with. Marvin Harrison Junior, got to run

1086
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,400
Speaker 2: a game in James Connor. Okay, so right, and what

1087
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:14,600
Speaker 2: the trade? McBride the tight end. So Arizona has a

1088
00:49:14,640 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 2: great offense right now, but they may not win the

1089
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:21,600
Speaker 2: division again, why you put your finger to the defense.

1090
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:23,719
Speaker 2: But you know, as far as you're concern, I think

1091
00:49:23,760 --> 00:49:26,359
Speaker 2: that Arizona is a better team than Seattle. I think

1092
00:49:26,400 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: Arizona really is and they're rolling right now. What if

1093
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:30,360
Speaker 2: they won four or five straight games.

1094
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:36,080
Speaker 4: Arizona does a good job playing complimentary ball, offense, defense,

1095
00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:38,440
Speaker 4: post teams. It all ties together. Johnathony Anda's done a

1096
00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:40,960
Speaker 4: really good job getting them on the same page. Calm

1097
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:44,239
Speaker 4: Murray is the cheat code for them. He can win

1098
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 4: it playing within the system, he can win it when

1099
00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,239
Speaker 4: venturing outside of the system. He is the one thing

1100
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,839
Speaker 4: that can make it pop for them. It's just a

1101
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,799
Speaker 4: matter of room defense. Are they good enough on the

1102
00:49:54,800 --> 00:49:57,200
Speaker 4: outside of the hold upendos one on one matchups? And

1103
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:59,719
Speaker 4: can they generate enough pass rush to get people out

1104
00:49:59,800 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 4: of to disrupt the rhythm of their passing game. I

1105
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 4: don't know, Man, a lot of unknowns when it comes

1106
00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 4: to them. Really good team, but man, just an unknown factor,

1107
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,480
Speaker 4: particularly on defense. I don't know if they can hold

1108
00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:16,160
Speaker 4: up in some of these contests down the stretch.

1109
00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:18,399
Speaker 2: Today's a big day. We'll find out today. What's going

1110
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:20,239
Speaker 2: on is a big weekend for the West right now

1111
00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:22,640
Speaker 2: now going down to the third team and the Rams,

1112
00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:25,080
Speaker 2: and they're five and five. But you know, I would

1113
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 2: say this, I think it's hard to even put a

1114
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,400
Speaker 2: finger on the Rams right now because they've been killed

1115
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:32,239
Speaker 2: with injuries. I mean, I know the forty nineers have

1116
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,040
Speaker 2: been hurt, but I don't think as bad as the

1117
00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,520
Speaker 2: Rams have been. You got Matthew Stafford, a great player,

1118
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:38,960
Speaker 2: great quarterback. I mean, he had great stats when he

1119
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:40,959
Speaker 2: was in Detroit and they lost. But you got guys

1120
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 2: at Coopa Cup and Pooka and Nakua. I mean, guys

1121
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:45,319
Speaker 2: like that who just couldn't play. They couldn't get on

1122
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 2: the field. I think that's one of the biggest problems.

1123
00:50:47,480 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: The Rams have had, not so much of talent, but

1124
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: the talent wasn't on the field. So you really can't

1125
00:50:52,120 --> 00:50:54,640
Speaker 2: blame them. But they may not win the division because

1126
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 2: once again you pointed to defense and maybe inexperience on defense.

1127
00:51:01,680 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just the inexperienced man. The inexperience on defense is

1128
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:09,320
Speaker 4: really critical. And the reason why the inexperience is critical

1129
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 4: because you need to have everyone on the same page

1130
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,520
Speaker 4: in these critical moments, and when you have young players,

1131
00:51:15,280 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 4: you just don't know how they're gonna show up and

1132
00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:21,920
Speaker 4: respond to those moments. And so it'd be important that

1133
00:51:22,320 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 4: they can play with the lead that Matthew Stafford does

1134
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,960
Speaker 4: a really good job of taking care of things on offense.

1135
00:51:27,000 --> 00:51:29,600
Speaker 4: They can kind of control the game with their offense

1136
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,279
Speaker 4: just to kind of protect their defense. If they can

1137
00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:34,920
Speaker 4: do that, they can have success. It's just a young thing.

1138
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,120
Speaker 4: It's the youth and the inexperience that I will worry about, all.

1139
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,799
Speaker 2: Right, and let's move down to the San Francisco forty

1140
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:41,560
Speaker 2: nine ers once again. They have five and five again

1141
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,759
Speaker 2: and the same problems as the Rams. There's too many

1142
00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:46,319
Speaker 2: injuries right now and today brock perty the quarterback. He's

1143
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 2: going to be on the shelf. He's not going to play.

1144
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 2: They got Trent Williams, they got Christian McCaffrey. He finally

1145
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 2: played last week. Deebo, Samuel George Kittle, Nick Bose. I

1146
00:51:54,719 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 2: don't think Bose is playing today either. But here's the thing,

1147
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,799
Speaker 2: Like what about the Deebo Samuel and the and the

1148
00:52:00,920 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 2: contractual problems off the field? How much does that affect

1149
00:52:05,280 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 2: not only the morale, but the play of a team.

1150
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:11,120
Speaker 2: You know that was like going there was an ongoing

1151
00:52:11,160 --> 00:52:14,840
Speaker 2: situation prior to the season. Does that filter into the

1152
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:18,319
Speaker 2: season and hurt a team's performance? Uh?

1153
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:21,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, it does because he didn't get take care of

1154
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,480
Speaker 4: So yeah, it definitely affects the team and impacts how

1155
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 4: they go about doing their stuff. Yeah. So the contractual

1156
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 4: stuff with Brandon and you people saying everybody else kind

1157
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 4: of clamoring for a new deal. Yeah, it impacts everybody

1158
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,120
Speaker 4: because you have people that aren't around, everyone's not there,

1159
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: you can't build the chemistry that you need. It affects

1160
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 4: the team. It affects the team in a few different ways.

1161
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: You know.

1162
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: I think that's a problem too. When the Cincinnati Bengals

1163
00:52:47,160 --> 00:52:50,240
Speaker 2: with Jamar Chase prior to the season during training camp,

1164
00:52:50,680 --> 00:52:53,320
Speaker 2: he go to training camp and they have his uniform

1165
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: on on the sidelines, but he wouldn't participate, and he

1166
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: wants the money and he's got two years to go

1167
00:52:57,560 --> 00:53:00,040
Speaker 2: on his contract. But still in all I think that

1168
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,680
Speaker 2: really has hurt some of them, Arale. You know a

1169
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:04,600
Speaker 2: lot of these players are saying, look, they're not going

1170
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 2: to give him the money. They may not give me

1171
00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 2: the money. And I think that filters down and I

1172
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 2: think it hurts them. Around of a ball club, all

1173
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: these little things go into play. They really do.

1174
00:53:14,760 --> 00:53:17,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, they do. And when you don't take care of

1175
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 4: your best players, man, everyone else is just kind of

1176
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,400
Speaker 4: looking around, like, what are we doing? Why don't we

1177
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:23,920
Speaker 4: taking care of him? He's been a great player for us.

1178
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:26,360
Speaker 4: Why aren't we giving him the money? What are they doing?

1179
00:53:27,120 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 4: So teams have to be careful and cognizant of that.

1180
00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,560
Speaker 4: And you, look, you can't pay everybody, but you certainly

1181
00:53:34,600 --> 00:53:36,440
Speaker 4: won't take care of your really good players. And when

1182
00:53:36,440 --> 00:53:40,880
Speaker 4: you don't do that, it just creates just creates more problems,

1183
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 4: more chaos, and it's just hard to win in a

1184
00:53:42,920 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 4: very chaotic environment.

1185
00:53:44,320 --> 00:53:46,120
Speaker 2: And on the side, this is like a little extra,

1186
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:49,600
Speaker 2: a little asterisk here, all right. I heard a radio

1187
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 2: guy just the other day in town, driving around, had

1188
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:55,520
Speaker 2: the car radio on it said the Jamar Chase needs

1189
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:57,359
Speaker 2: to be paid by the Bangals, no doubt about that.

1190
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: He says he should get forty million dollars, he's worth

1191
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,640
Speaker 2: forty million dollars. I almost drove off the road. I

1192
00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,760
Speaker 2: don't think anybody on God's green Earth is worth forty

1193
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:07,879
Speaker 2: million dollars. I don't care what you do. I don't

1194
00:54:07,920 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 2: care if you're a weightlifter. I don't care if you're

1195
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 2: a surgeon, and I don't care if you're the president.

1196
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 2: Nobody is worth forty million dollars. You know, if the

1197
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: announcer would have said he probably is in the forty

1198
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:23,279
Speaker 2: million dollar range of NFL salaries, I could live with that,

1199
00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:26,759
Speaker 2: But don't tell me he's worth forty million dollars. That

1200
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 2: to me is an insane statement.

1201
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,759
Speaker 4: Agreed, Yeah, it's very insane. I don't know if there's

1202
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,319
Speaker 4: a forty million dollar wide out on the planet, thank you.

1203
00:54:34,400 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 4: I mean, just too many that you can find throughout

1204
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:42,320
Speaker 4: the draft, throughout free agency. I just can't imagine anybody

1205
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,520
Speaker 4: being a forty million dollar guy. I mean, that just

1206
00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 4: says that he's above and beyond. He can do things

1207
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:48,960
Speaker 4: that we've never seen done before in terms of being

1208
00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 4: able to tilt the feel. Yeah, so I'm with you

1209
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:51,279
Speaker 4: on that.

1210
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 2: Thank you very much. Okay, last, but not least, let's

1211
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,160
Speaker 2: check this out because I said, coming into this segment,

1212
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,040
Speaker 2: would you consider this NFL team and underachieved? I'm talking

1213
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: about the Texans for right now. They beat up on

1214
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:04,239
Speaker 2: those Cowboys Monday night thirty four to ten, but they

1215
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:06,760
Speaker 2: did lose to the Jets. Would you say that Texans

1216
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,960
Speaker 2: right now are underachievers? They're playing, They're hosting the Titans today.

1217
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 2: Are they underachievers? I would say perhaps they are.

1218
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say they're not playing up to their potential.

1219
00:55:17,760 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 4: Quarterback is having a bit of a sophomore slump without

1220
00:55:20,800 --> 00:55:23,640
Speaker 4: Joe Mixon. The offense can't get coin. Yeah, it's a

1221
00:55:23,680 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 4: problem in Houston. Defensive they can snap out of it,

1222
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:28,680
Speaker 4: but right now, they haven't played great football.

1223
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:31,440
Speaker 2: Yet right and the right side of the Titans offensive

1224
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,960
Speaker 2: line is pretty weak. The quarterback Will Levice, he could

1225
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,760
Speaker 2: be in trouble today facing guys like Will Anderson and Hunter.

1226
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,520
Speaker 2: So I think the game might be closer than one

1227
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 2: would think. But I think the Texans win this game.

1228
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: I just think the Texans are a better team. And again,

1229
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:46,080
Speaker 2: you know, they got to stop putting it together right now.

1230
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 4: I mean, the.

1231
00:55:46,440 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: Texans have lost the last two to the Jets in

1232
00:55:49,960 --> 00:55:53,719
Speaker 2: Detroit and the Jet Jets are bad loss. They beat Indianapolis,

1233
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 2: but they squeezed by them and by a field goal,

1234
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 2: and then they lost to Green Bay. So out of

1235
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,240
Speaker 2: the last four games, they've lost three. And I expected

1236
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,399
Speaker 2: a lot more from the Texans this year. I really did.

1237
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we are did. Look at the fleury

1238
00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:08,799
Speaker 4: moves that they made, Stefan Diggs being one of those,

1239
00:56:08,840 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 4: but he's gotten hurt and so injuries have kind of

1240
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 4: prevented them from trying out the team that we expected

1241
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 4: to see. But even with the injuries, they still haven't

1242
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,880
Speaker 4: executed at the level that we thought. C J. Stroud

1243
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,840
Speaker 4: hasn't executed at the level that we thought. And I

1244
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:22,400
Speaker 4: know we put a lot on him based on this

1245
00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 4: spectacular Rooky season, but he's shown the town to be

1246
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:30,120
Speaker 4: able to handle it as a first year starter. We'll

1247
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:34,200
Speaker 4: see it's a long process or whatever, but we're just

1248
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 4: not seeing what we expected to see from this team.

1249
00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:39,120
Speaker 2: And people know CJ. Stroud now that got his number,

1250
00:56:39,440 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 2: they could figure him out perhaps, And I'll tell you

1251
00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 2: why I say that, because now I'm looking. You know,

1252
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: the new CJ. Stroud this year is bo Nicks in Denver, correct,

1253
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:49,160
Speaker 2: and he's rolling along. We'll see what he does next year,

1254
00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:51,319
Speaker 2: because I think after the first year, when everybody gets

1255
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,279
Speaker 2: the tape and they can figure him out, I think

1256
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 2: that's when you really got to prove yourself. Am I

1257
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,640
Speaker 2: right on that? But bo Nicks is really doing great now,

1258
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 2: he really and just people don't know. They don't know

1259
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,040
Speaker 2: the tendencies of a first year guy. That's the problem.

1260
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,799
Speaker 4: No, they don't know, but yeah, it is. It is

1261
00:57:06,840 --> 00:57:08,760
Speaker 4: part of that, like how do you adapt an adjust

1262
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,920
Speaker 4: to win? The defense begins to counter. They compile a

1263
00:57:11,960 --> 00:57:14,400
Speaker 4: library of film, they take notes on what you do,

1264
00:57:15,239 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 4: how do you handle what is in front of you?

1265
00:57:17,880 --> 00:57:20,600
Speaker 4: It's it's a million other questions, but few can provide

1266
00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,400
Speaker 4: the answer. But that is the trick to be an

1267
00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:26,760
Speaker 4: able to succeed on these major platforms.

1268
00:57:26,320 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Okay, let's do this. We'll give

1296

Speaker 2: we get up the air. So we'll do that right now.

1297
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about the Detroit Lions. I love the Lions,

1298
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 2: and now you're going to admit, Bucky Brooks. They are

1299
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:57,160
Speaker 2: the best team in football as we speak today. They

1300
00:58:57,160 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 2: are number one, correct.

1301
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 4: They are number one. There the best team in football right.

1302
00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:05,320
Speaker 2: Now because Kansas City lost, all right City loss.

1303
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 4: But I think you can make you can make the

1304
00:59:06,760 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 4: case that maybe the Buffalo Bills deserve to compete with

1305
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 4: the Lions for the number one speed, the number one seat.

1306
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah they could, But I think the Lions are now

1307
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:18,520
Speaker 2: staying alone. And the Lions are going to Indianapolis today

1308
00:59:18,920 --> 00:59:21,040
Speaker 2: to play the Colts who are five and six. Lions

1309
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,360
Speaker 2: at nine and one, and the Lions are rolling. They

1310
00:59:23,400 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 2: are the best teams. You mentioned, where's the weakness? Where's

1311
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:27,680
Speaker 2: the weakness on the Detroit lines?

1312
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 3: If there is?

1313
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 2: When they won eight straight, they got the great receivers

1314
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,240
Speaker 2: and Saint Brown among Ross, Saint Brown, Jamison Williams, they got,

1315
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:38,480
Speaker 2: they got David Montgomery, Jamiro Gibbs, they got everything you need.

1316
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,480
Speaker 2: I mean, think about it. Do they have a weakness

1317
00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: at all? And they got a great coach?

1318
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:45,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got a great coach. You started there. They

1319
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:47,640
Speaker 4: don't have a glaring weakness. They've done a really good

1320
00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 4: job of the building this team up like they can

1321
00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 4: win with forests or finess. They can run it, they

1322
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:54,920
Speaker 4: can throw it, they can play with power. They had

1323
00:59:54,920 --> 00:59:59,919
Speaker 4: the ability to change their style based on what you're

1324
01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,320
Speaker 4: giving up or what is troubling them. That is terrific.

1325
01:00:03,360 --> 01:00:06,240
Speaker 4: I mean, that's a huge thing that most teams don't

1326
01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,720
Speaker 4: have the ability to adapt and adjust to put themselves

1327
01:00:08,760 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 4: in a situation where they can always win and have

1328
01:00:11,320 --> 01:00:14,040
Speaker 4: success Defensively, Aaron Glenn has done a really good job

1329
01:00:14,160 --> 01:00:17,640
Speaker 4: of working with a younger crew but getting them up

1330
01:00:17,720 --> 01:00:20,240
Speaker 4: to speed. They played when the edge, They're feisty, they

1331
01:00:20,240 --> 01:00:23,000
Speaker 4: do a really good job of making things happen. They

1332
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 4: don't have a glaring weakness. To glaring weakness that I

1333
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 4: would say is they don't have a dominant or established

1334
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,440
Speaker 4: pass rush. That's the thing they can come back to

1335
01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 4: get them well.

1336
01:00:31,840 --> 01:00:34,680
Speaker 2: Because Aiden's got hurt. Maybe that's why it loves Aiden.

1337
01:00:35,160 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Aiden, Hegerson being out hurts them. Zadarius Smith coming

1338
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:41,880
Speaker 4: over gives them veterans havy, but he's not aidon. Aiden

1339
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:46,120
Speaker 4: was a monster, disruptive playmaker, always around it, always ready

1340
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:46,600
Speaker 4: for the fight.

1341
01:00:48,880 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 2: There should be much of a game today. I think

1342
01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:52,439
Speaker 2: the Lions went big by to tell you what, Look

1343
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 2: what I found. The Colts got a win last week.

1344
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: They got a little bit of a spark. How they

1345
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:58,600
Speaker 2: do that, I don't know. Anthony Richardson played a quarterback

1346
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: and they beat their just twenty eight twenty seven. But

1347
01:01:00,960 --> 01:01:03,080
Speaker 2: ain't gonna happen today, and they're gonna put a lot

1348
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,320
Speaker 2: of pressure the Lions will on Anthony Ridgardson. That means

1349
01:01:05,360 --> 01:01:07,080
Speaker 2: the Lions win. The Lions will win. The Lines are

1350
01:01:07,080 --> 01:01:09,360
Speaker 2: a better team, no doubt about that. So now we

1351
01:01:09,360 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 2: move on. We've got the Minnesota Vikings eight and two

1352
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 2: of the Bears four and six today in Chicago. Vikings

1353
01:01:16,000 --> 01:01:19,280
Speaker 2: have won the last three today. They're running back Aaron Jones.

1354
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,520
Speaker 2: He's gonna get the ball shoved in his belly against

1355
01:01:21,560 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 2: the Bears run defense that allows almost one hundred and

1356
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:25,800
Speaker 2: forty yards a game. So I don't think there'll be

1357
01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 2: much of a game right now. And the Bears are

1358
01:01:27,400 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 2: in disarray. The Bears have been in disarray since Sid

1359
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,920
Speaker 2: Luckman played for the Chicago Bears. I don't know what

1360
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 2: the deal is. They can't catch a break and they're

1361
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,960
Speaker 2: gonna pressure Caleb Williams. I got a new offensive coordinator.

1362
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:40,720
Speaker 2: I don't know if he's made a difference Thomas Brown.

1363
01:01:41,080 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 2: Do you see a change in Caleb Williams with Thomas

1364
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: Brown as the new OC.

1365
01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 4: When I look at Thomas Brown, I think what Thomas

1366
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,240
Speaker 4: Brown has done is he's simplified everything for Kiley Williams.

1367
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,120
Speaker 4: Took out all the junk, made it very very simple,

1368
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 4: allowed him to repeat this favorite concepts over and over

1369
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,360
Speaker 4: and over again, very decisive with the play call. So

1370
01:02:02,760 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 4: Kayler Williams is able to take advantage of the communication

1371
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 4: within the headset, you know, until let's shet out fifteen seconds.

1372
01:02:10,200 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 4: That helps. That helps a lot to be able to

1373
01:02:11,840 --> 01:02:14,560
Speaker 4: walk through some of those situations before the snap instead

1374
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 4: of reacting post snap. Big deal. Look, I think this

1375
01:02:19,160 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 4: is a tough matchup for the Bears. It's tough because

1376
01:02:22,360 --> 01:02:24,960
Speaker 4: Brian Floyd is gonna bring pressure all over. Because Thomas

1377
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 4: Brown and Caleb Williams put on tape last week what

1378
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,280
Speaker 4: they're going to do together, I think it becomes more

1379
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 4: challenging as they now begin to prep for what this

1380
01:02:32,760 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 4: offense looks like with Thomas Brown in charge.

1381
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,200
Speaker 2: Okay, Here's the statistic I read just the other day.

1382
01:02:38,200 --> 01:02:39,440
Speaker 2: If I got where, I picked it up and I

1383
01:02:39,480 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 2: wrote it down here to run it by you on

1384
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:46,560
Speaker 2: the Bears coach Matt Eberfloss. The Bears have lost more

1385
01:02:46,640 --> 01:02:51,320
Speaker 2: close games than they've won. All right, interesting stat now,

1386
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 2: And I mentioned early on who do you blame when

1387
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,520
Speaker 2: you lose the close ones? Do you blame the coach?

1388
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:00,880
Speaker 2: Is a coaching Is it just fate? It bad luck?

1389
01:03:01,120 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 2: Who do you blame when you lose more close games

1390
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:03,880
Speaker 2: than you won?

1391
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 4: That's a little bit of everything. I think. You go

1392
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 4: back and you look at the things that you've done.

1393
01:03:09,320 --> 01:03:11,960
Speaker 4: Did I make good decisions in those moments? Is there

1394
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 4: something wrong with our execution? If so, why why aren't

1395
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 4: we executing in these high leverage situations? Are we doing

1396
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 4: too much? Do we need to simplify? Are their brains

1397
01:03:21,600 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 4: cloudy so they're getting calls mixed up? All those things

1398
01:03:24,600 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 4: are in play, and then it comes down to the players.

1399
01:03:26,920 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 4: You have the challenge the players. You gotta play better,

1400
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:30,640
Speaker 4: gott to finish the game. That's why we lift all

1401
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 4: the stuff, you know, lift thee in the off seasons,

1402
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,800
Speaker 4: why we run. Gotta be able to grind it out

1403
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:35,960
Speaker 4: a little bit to get to Doe.

1404
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 2: Well, we have to worry about that stat next year.

1405
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 2: But I think Madibufluss will be probably doing some radio

1406
01:03:41,320 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 2: or TV work next year. I don't think they'll be

1407
01:03:43,360 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 2: coaching in the NFL.

1408
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:52,400
Speaker 4: Agreed, not coaching at all. There may be eight to

1409
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 4: ten jobs that come open. He's good enough to be

1410
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:57,600
Speaker 4: a really good decoordinator somewhere, so I'm gonna say he's

1411
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 4: coaching somewhere, just won't be what do Chica birds as

1412
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 4: a head coach.

1413
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:03,360
Speaker 2: Okay, let me just mention that that we are live

1414
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:05,479
Speaker 2: from the tire Rack dot Com studios. And by the way,

1415
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,400
Speaker 2: before we roll onto another game, we tallked about Rapid Radios.

1416
01:04:08,480 --> 01:04:12,120

01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 2: device of Fox Sports Radio Now. The Broncos today play

1424
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:40,960
Speaker 2: the Raiders in Vegas. Both teams met way back in

1425
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:43,040
Speaker 2: week number five, and boy, it's been a long time

1426
01:04:43,360 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 2: since Week number five. As I mentioned, Broncos won that

1427
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:48,480
Speaker 2: game thirty four to eighteen. I say it should be

1428
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: about the same today in Vegas. Bo Nicks, Denver quarterback.

1429
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:53,720
Speaker 2: We talked about him. He's getting better every week. They

1430
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:55,840
Speaker 2: got a wide receiver in Courtland Sutton. I don't know

1431
01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:58,960
Speaker 2: if bo Nix is making Courtland Sutton look good or

1432
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: vice versa, but that combination is proving to be pretty

1433
01:05:01,760 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 2: dangerous for Denver.

1434
01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,840
Speaker 4: It is proved to be a very dangerous combination. And

1435
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 4: here's the thing. They're doing it without a market name

1436
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 4: on the perimeter, like Sudden becomes that, but they're doing

1437
01:05:14,800 --> 01:05:19,840
Speaker 4: it without like a household name on the perimeter perimeter

1438
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,840
Speaker 4: that can command some of the attention that would normally

1439
01:05:22,880 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 4: go in court in Sudden's direction. But also the running

1440
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 4: game and the compliments off of the running game have

1441
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:34,040
Speaker 4: helped playing passes, screens, swings, all of that stuff. All

1442
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 4: health puts. Look, it's just designed to get the ball

1443
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,840
Speaker 4: in the hands to play maker, keeps the quarterback in rhythm.

1444
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,000
Speaker 4: So there are some things that they can do to

1445
01:05:42,040 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 4: continue to evolve what they're doing. But this team is

1446
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 4: well positioned to make.

1447
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,520
Speaker 2: Them run, no doubt about that. I look, I look

1448
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:51,760
Speaker 2: at the score last week. I don't know. I who

1449
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 2: was a great win for Denver or a really disturbing

1450
01:05:56,640 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: terrible loss for Atlanta. Denver won that game thirty eight.

1451
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,120
Speaker 2: It was devastating for for that Falcons team to lose

1452
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 2: the way they did, to lose, period, but to lose

1453
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:08,680
Speaker 2: to Denver. I mean, I don't think anybody expected Denver

1454
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: to do what they're doing this year. And I'll say this,

1455
01:06:11,240 --> 01:06:12,960
Speaker 2: you got to give them some votes for Coach of

1456
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:15,280
Speaker 2: the Year. He's gonna get some more skyline Chile from

1457
01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,520
Speaker 2: Sean Payton Coach of the Year possibility. What do you think?

1458
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 2: Probably Dan Campbell will may get it.

1459
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:20,720
Speaker 3: I don't.

1460
01:06:20,760 --> 01:06:23,880
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think he's gonna get some votes,

1461
01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:24,959
Speaker 2: no doubt about that.

1462
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 4: Hmm. Yeah, look, he definitely get some votes. You know,

1463
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:32,560
Speaker 4: it'd be tough Dan Campbell's to one though. He's a

1464
01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:38,080
Speaker 4: front run just because they're they're going set. Man, the

1465
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 4: league is so great. It's so interested in watching these teams,

1466
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 4: the surprise teams, the Cinderellas and all these teams kind

1467
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:46,760
Speaker 4: of duke it out. Coaching matters more nanda it ever did,

1468
01:06:46,840 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 4: because so many guys are in the league, not trained,

1469
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 4: not developed, So it'd be big.

1470
01:06:53,360 --> 01:06:54,960
Speaker 2: Who you know, who would you a coach of the

1471
01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 2: Year be right now? You know, way back when I say,

1472
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,360
Speaker 2: two three weeks ago, I was looking at Minnesota coaching

1473
01:07:00,400 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 2: staff perhaps, but right now I'd have to give me

1474
01:07:03,320 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 2: a go with Sean Payton or Dan Campbell just because

1475
01:07:06,320 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 2: they're winning. Other than that, I don't even know. I mean,

1476
01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:10,080
Speaker 2: it's somewhat still open.

1477
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:15,840
Speaker 4: I would think, yeah, look, I would say this, like,

1478
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 4: I think those guys are certainly deserving, Like Dan Campbell

1479
01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:22,080
Speaker 4: Sean Payton have done really good jobs. How about Dan

1480
01:07:22,160 --> 01:07:24,880
Speaker 4: Quinn the job he's done in Washington. Washington wasn't expecting

1481
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 4: to be a team that could be a viable option

1482
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,919
Speaker 4: of playoff team, but dan Quinn has them up and going.

1483
01:07:30,440 --> 01:07:32,760
Speaker 2: What about green Bay?

1484
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:34,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, green Bay They're always there. You know, you don't

1485
01:07:34,960 --> 01:07:36,840
Speaker 4: get the excitement, you hurt my reaction. Don't get the

1486
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 4: excitement though, because of Matt Lafleur and what they've been

1487
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,920
Speaker 4: able to do. Jonathan Gannon from the Air's on the

1488
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 4: Cardinals season four. He deserves to be in that conversation

1489
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:47,439
Speaker 4: as well.

1490
01:07:47,800 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 2: Oh, I talk about green Bay, they're hosting the forty

1491
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:52,800
Speaker 2: nine ers stay. We mentioned that early on. Forty nine

1492
01:07:52,840 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: ers had a bad loss last week twenty seventeen at

1493
01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 2: home against Seattle. Packers beat the Bears on a block

1494
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,520
Speaker 2: field goal nineteen in Chicago, and they've won five of

1495
01:08:02,560 --> 01:08:03,120
Speaker 2: the last six.

1496
01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:04,160
Speaker 3: What happened?

1497
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,880
Speaker 2: I've been reading some stories that it's under investigation, that's

1498
01:08:06,960 --> 01:08:09,080
Speaker 2: und of that field goal, that block field goal. What

1499
01:08:09,240 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 2: happened with that?

1500
01:08:10,120 --> 01:08:12,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know. I don't. I don't know.

1501
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 2: Like we're not going to reverse the goal.

1502
01:08:16,680 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 4: They can't. I mean, they can issue an apology, send

1503
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 4: you a little something. That doesn't change anything. It doesn't

1504
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 4: change your record, doesn't impact your playoff seating or secure

1505
01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 4: in a birth. So it just makes you feel good.

1506
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,280
Speaker 2: But that's about it, right, And obviously they got a

1507
01:08:31,320 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 2: loss to the Lions twenty four to fourteen. So how

1508
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 2: did the forty nine ers win this game against the

1509
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Packers at Green Bay? Well, they're running backs, and running

1510
01:08:38,439 --> 01:08:41,679
Speaker 2: backs in general have done pretty good against the Green

1511
01:08:41,680 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 2: Bay Packers, So I guess you got to give the

1512
01:08:43,640 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 2: ball to hopefully a healthy, healthy Christian McCaffery, I think

1513
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:49,920
Speaker 2: that's the way to go, you know. Again, and you

1514
01:08:49,960 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 2: mentioned this early on. We talked about teams in the

1515
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:55,400
Speaker 2: West and what's going on. But I think that the

1516
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,920
Speaker 2: Green Bay Packers right now, if they do have some

1517
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,160
Speaker 2: sort of a weakness, is going to be stopping the run.

1518
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:02,519
Speaker 2: And I think if the forty nine ers have a

1519
01:09:02,520 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 2: strong running game today, they got a chance to win

1520
01:09:05,080 --> 01:09:05,800
Speaker 2: this ball game.

1521
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:09,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, forty nine has got to control the action. They

1522
01:09:09,760 --> 01:09:11,680
Speaker 4: got to find a way to get back to playing bullyball.

1523
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,840
Speaker 4: Run the football, Chris McCaffrey, throw it, flip it out

1524
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 4: to deebo scene you let him go to work on

1525
01:09:16,720 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 4: the perimeter. Trey Williams has having moster game at Alna scrimmage.

1526
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,559
Speaker 4: But they got to do fun, creative stuff to mask

1527
01:09:22,760 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 4: some of the smash mouth tactics that they want to utilize. Defensively,

1528
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,200
Speaker 4: they got to play fast, keep the ball in front,

1529
01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:31,519
Speaker 4: don't allow the geno to get comfortable and take shots

1530
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 4: down the field. They do that, man, it should be

1531
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:33,639
Speaker 4: easy one.

1532
01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:36,640
Speaker 2: Okay, And now, well we didn't even mention this. That

1533
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:38,640
Speaker 2: brock Party is probably not going to play today for

1534
01:09:38,680 --> 01:09:40,880
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers or quarterback? What does that do?

1535
01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:42,920
Speaker 2: How does that throw things off for the forty nine

1536
01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:43,960
Speaker 2: ers or.

1537
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 4: Throws it off a lot because Brandon Allen is making

1538
01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 4: a start and Brandon Allen is no brock party. So

1539
01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 4: we'll see how good the system is without the trigger man.

1540
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 4: But you know, you, look, you when you're coaching this league,

1541
01:09:58,800 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 4: you coach them and whoever shows up, you coach up.

1542
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:04,080
Speaker 4: And that's what they're gonna have to do. Then you

1543
01:10:04,120 --> 01:10:06,320
Speaker 4: have to find somebody that can play in his place.

1544
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going on the internet looking at these

1545
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 2: games and seeing, you know, the pros to cons, what

1546
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:14,280
Speaker 2: the keys to the games are, and look, you can't

1547
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:16,920
Speaker 2: believe everything you read, but you know one of the

1548
01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:18,920
Speaker 2: things they worried about the green Bay packages that they

1549
01:10:18,920 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 2: need a takeaway. Well, heck, you know, it's kind of

1550
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:23,160
Speaker 2: like when you watch these games on TV, they have

1551
01:10:23,400 --> 01:10:26,240
Speaker 2: the quote keys to the game. You know what, I

1552
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: could be blindfolded and not know who's playing and use

1553
01:10:29,320 --> 01:10:31,599
Speaker 2: the same keys to the game for every single freaking

1554
01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,120
Speaker 2: game on Sunday. You know. But now they say about

1555
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: the green Bay package that they need to take away

1556
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,240
Speaker 2: because they have had no takeaways in three of the

1557
01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 2: last four games. Well, how in the hell do you

1558
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,479
Speaker 2: get a takeaway? You know, sometimes it's just luck. When

1559
01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 2: a receiver, you know, falls down, when a guy makes

1560
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 2: an interception going in front of someone else. The takeaways

1561
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 2: are not you know, you don't practice takeaways in practice.

1562
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:59,599
Speaker 2: They happenstance. They they're mistakes. Basically, that's what a takeaway is,

1563
01:10:59,600 --> 01:11:02,760
Speaker 2: isn't it. I snapped from center. That's a takeaway, right?

1564
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 2: I mean, how do you practice a takeaway?

1565
01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 4: I mean, you go for it. I'll say you contentary

1566
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:11,600
Speaker 4: popular opinion, You go after it. You practice knocking the

1567
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 4: ball out, you practice scooping and scoring, you practice all

1568
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 4: the various ways that you can create a turnover. Those

1569
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,080
Speaker 4: things are intentional. So when you have multiple guys running

1570
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 4: to the ball, one bar carrer, he gets there, one

1571
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,680
Speaker 4: tackleer gets to the other, one takes a shot to

1572
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:28,880
Speaker 4: knock the ball loose, that's choreographed. That's in practice is

1573
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,959
Speaker 4: show up in our drills. You get what you emphasize.

1574
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,200
Speaker 4: So if you want to be a team that turns

1575
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,720
Speaker 4: the ball over, you gotta work on it. And so

1576
01:11:35,840 --> 01:11:37,640
Speaker 4: that's what these good teams do. They work on it.

1577
01:11:37,680 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 4: For the Green Bay package, You gotta remember early in

1578
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 4: the year they were turnover machines. They were leading the

1579
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 4: league in interceptions as David McKinnie was going crazy picking

1580
01:11:45,439 --> 01:11:47,599
Speaker 4: off passes. They want to get back to that, but

1581
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 4: to do that, you got to win on early now

1582
01:11:49,800 --> 01:11:52,200
Speaker 4: so you can force them to throw against all your

1583
01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 4: exotic stuff that forces aarrant throws and pressure and all

1584
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:57,000
Speaker 4: that other stuff.

1585
01:11:57,600 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 2: Right, And I'll tell you why. This game is a

1586
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,760
Speaker 2: playoff rematch, But this time the Packers are going to

1587
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,240
Speaker 2: get him because it's in Green Bay, and obviously without

1588
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,040
Speaker 2: Rock Party, I think that's a big loss. As far

1589
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 2: as a guy who's going to do well today, I

1590
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:12,559
Speaker 2: think is a wide receiver of the package, Jayden Reid.

1591
01:12:12,600 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 2: I think he's have a big game today against them.

1592
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:14,840
Speaker 2: I really do.

1593
01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 4: I think that's the key on Okay, why are you

1594
01:12:17,840 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 4: big on Jaden Reid? You just think he has a

1595
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 4: favorite matchup in the slot.

1596
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,640
Speaker 2: Yes, I think he does. I tell you what I

1597
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:26,040
Speaker 2: think without without Brock Party, I think that the forty

1598
01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 2: nine is are really and truly they're in trouble.

1599
01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:28,800
Speaker 4: They are.

1600
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 2: I don't understand how a team could be so injury

1601
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 2: ridden as they were this year. I just don't get it.

1602
01:12:33,760 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 2: I don't understand it. I mean, is it just bad luck?

1603
01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 2: Is a bad practicing, bad bad offseason work, bad medical staff?

1604
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 2: I mean, what is it? Tell me? I don't know.

1605
01:12:43,840 --> 01:12:45,000
Speaker 2: How do you get like that?

1606
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. I mean, it's like it's bad. You

1607
01:12:51,040 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 4: just got to keep working on it. You just got

1608
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 4: to all hands on deck. Like it's funny because we

1609
01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:59,800
Speaker 4: talk about the margin in this league, like everyone has

1610
01:12:59,840 --> 01:13:01,839
Speaker 4: to be on your p's and q's, talk about turnovers,

1611
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:06,559
Speaker 4: talk about player availability, health, all those situations impact. Interesting.

1612
01:13:06,640 --> 01:13:08,080
Speaker 2: I don't know. But do you like Green Bay in

1613
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:08,559
Speaker 2: this one too?

1614
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 4: I guess, uh yeah, I'm gonna going to Packers in

1615
01:13:12,600 --> 01:13:14,240
Speaker 4: this one. Going with the Packers. I think the Packers

1616
01:13:14,280 --> 01:13:15,000
Speaker 4: are a better squad.

1617
01:13:15,400 --> 01:13:17,800
Speaker 2: There we go, all right. He is Bucky Brooks, I'm

1618

1620
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,559
Speaker 2: barrel betting, and it's freaking next bottom barrel betting right

1621
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 2: around the corner. It's about twelve minutes now before the

1628
01:13:47,680 --> 01:13:52,040
Speaker 2: doing well. But Bree is here and maybe too big

1629
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 2: for Could you handle this? Bree? Is it too big

1630
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,160

Speaker 8: No, no, I I just want to make sure you

1633

Speaker 2: is a man or a woman. I'm going with Sydney

1661
01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:10,479

1673
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 2: anybody with the name of Van Veen, obviously he probably

1674
01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 2: can't do anything else in life but play darts. So

1675
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,840

Speaker 2: of Ohio State football while he's playing snooker is beyond me.

1707
01:17:06,040 --> 01:17:08,000

1708
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 2: I'm going with Ryan Day. If he won yesterday because Indiana,

1709

Speaker 2: Six feet hundred. Yeah no, well, I mean we got

1788
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 2: to do that too.

1789
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 3: It will pour one out for you on the curb

1790
01:20:36,160 --> 01:20:38,800
Speaker 3: it all, but that's not for another twenty five years.

1791
01:20:38,800 --> 01:20:41,479
Speaker 3: You're stuck with us. He's Bucky Brooks on the other side.

1792
01:20:41,520 --> 01:20:45,839
Speaker 3: You hear him NFL dot Com, You read him NFL

1793
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:50,160
Speaker 3: dot Com, NFL Network, Fox Sports One, foxsports dot Com

1794
01:20:50,520 --> 01:20:53,759
Speaker 3: with his rankings and lists and observations of the world

1795
01:20:53,760 --> 01:20:56,639
Speaker 3: at large. He's an author, he's a mentor. He's a coach,

1796
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:59,479
Speaker 3: he's our guy at Bucky Brooks, at Andy Furman FSR,

1797
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 3: find Meal a swollen dome, Brianna and Mark making us

1798
01:21:02,360 --> 01:21:06,920
Speaker 3: sound so pretty this morning, gentlemen, Big Wild College Football Day.

1799
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:12,839
Speaker 3: Another great example of why the twelve team playoff format

1800
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:15,639
Speaker 3: is for me. I say, let's expand a little further,

1801
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:19,040
Speaker 3: which they will. Why because the almighty dollar rules. But

1802
01:21:19,800 --> 01:21:22,680
Speaker 3: I love that in November, we're not just going all right,

1803
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:25,760
Speaker 3: it's a rivalry game for rivalry's sake. Like even here

1804
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:30,360
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, USC and UCLA aren't playing for great shakes.

1805
01:21:30,840 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 3: But you know what, you got guys playing for jobs.

1806
01:21:33,840 --> 01:21:37,720
Speaker 3: So every possession matters, and so that's really what it's

1807
01:21:37,720 --> 01:21:40,439
Speaker 3: all about, right. The expansion of wildcard to Major League

1808
01:21:40,479 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 3: Baseball keeps teams on the fringe interested and their fans

1809
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:49,040
Speaker 3: still passing through the turnstiles. For the National Football League

1810
01:21:49,080 --> 01:21:52,360
Speaker 3: going to seven teams in each conference doing the same,

1811
01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 3: We could talk about the NBA and NHL as to

1812
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,479
Speaker 3: whether they need to shrink their playoff fields, but I

1813
01:21:59,479 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 3: don't want to get off the soapbox here. More is better,

1814
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:06,040
Speaker 3: and all of these games having such weight, which means

1815
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:08,479
Speaker 3: the coaches get a little saltier in their post games

1816
01:22:08,720 --> 01:22:10,519
Speaker 3: is all right by me, Andy Furman.

1817
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: I tell you what, though, I like to know what

1818
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:14,519
Speaker 2: took so long, because I think it's great because every

1819
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:17,000
Speaker 2: year we had this problem. You know which team has

1820
01:22:17,040 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 2: their face pasted against the glass that couldn't get into

1821
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,160
Speaker 2: a team? Number five? Right? I mean, that's the deal

1822
01:22:22,240 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 2: right now. But you know what happened yesterday? Alabama loses

1823
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:27,680
Speaker 2: to Oklahoma, Number nine, Ole Miss goes to Florida. They

1824
01:22:27,720 --> 01:22:30,240
Speaker 2: lose to Florida twenty four to seventeen. And the only

1825
01:22:30,280 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 2: team that really was guaranteed a postseason spot yesterday in

1826
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,840
Speaker 2: the SEC was Georgia. George is going back to the

1827
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:38,800
Speaker 2: conference championship game for the fourth consecutive season. So I

1828
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 2: think it's great. Great for the fans, great for coaches,

1829
01:22:41,400 --> 01:22:43,599
Speaker 2: Great for teams that may have two, may even three

1830
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 2: losses that will go because I'm not going to say

1831
01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 2: we're going to truly find their national champion because it's

1832
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 2: just a tournament. That's basically what it is. But you

1833
01:22:51,600 --> 01:22:54,120
Speaker 2: want to get as many qualified teams in the tournament

1834
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:57,080
Speaker 2: as you possibly can. And when Colorado loses to Kansas,

1835
01:22:57,120 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 2: when Brigham Young loses yesterday, as well. It's kind of

1836
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,960
Speaker 2: a crazy day, but it makes everything exciting. But I

1837
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:04,840
Speaker 2: still can't it over the fact that Oklahoma won Oklahoma

1838
01:23:04,840 --> 01:23:07,639
Speaker 2: being Alabamia. That that, to me was it the biggest

1839
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:08,240
Speaker 2: shock or of the.

1840
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,760
Speaker 3: Day, I think, which they even had in their broadcast

1841
01:23:11,840 --> 01:23:15,280
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks at the end going they're storming the field,

1842
01:23:15,320 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 3: and you know what, it's been a long year, so

1843
01:23:17,720 --> 01:23:20,120
Speaker 3: let them celebrate. It's been a long year. We're not

1844
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:23,400
Speaker 3: used to these years. Like obviously doing a little bit

1845
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 3: of paraphrasing, but went on for probably a good minute

1846
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:29,880
Speaker 3: and a half about, yeah, Okay, this is not usual Oklahoma,

1847
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:33,360
Speaker 3: you know behavior, because you expect to be there this year.

1848
01:23:33,400 --> 01:23:35,600
Speaker 3: They did not expect to be there, particularly in this

1849
01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 3: game when you can spoil someone else's party.

1850
01:23:39,800 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, we always expect Oklahoma to be kind

1851
01:23:42,800 --> 01:23:44,719
Speaker 4: of in the conversation right when they made the move,

1852
01:23:44,920 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 4: even though it was gonna take some transition, we were talking

1853
01:23:47,760 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 4: about this is a blue blood program. They recruit will

1854
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:53,360
Speaker 4: they played well, they played it high at a high level.

1855
01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 4: It shouldn't take them long to transition, but it has

1856
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,599
Speaker 4: brand Ventables has not been able to kind of get

1857
01:23:58,600 --> 01:24:00,479
Speaker 4: this team up and going and playing the kind of

1858
01:24:00,479 --> 01:24:02,679
Speaker 4: ball that they want to play, but that when over

1859
01:24:02,760 --> 01:24:05,960
Speaker 4: Alabama certainly could jump start the program. He gives them

1860
01:24:05,960 --> 01:24:08,160
Speaker 4: dead little boost that they need to maybe kind of

1861
01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 4: climb back into a place of relevancy.

1862
01:24:11,160 --> 01:24:13,560
Speaker 3: You know what's funny is every time and obviously me

1863
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:16,880
Speaker 3: being big ten honk, and we won't dwell on Northwestern

1864
01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:19,680
Speaker 3: getting drummed by what has been here to ford a

1865
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:24,200
Speaker 3: terrible Michigan team fifty to six. They had it all

1866
01:24:24,280 --> 01:24:28,559
Speaker 3: right in Northwestern, right, No, they don't. Kurtsey Signetti every

1867
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 3: time I see him, and there'll be like three people

1868
01:24:31,120 --> 01:24:34,519
Speaker 3: that get this reference the character of Jack Scagnetti as

1869
01:24:34,560 --> 01:24:39,880
Speaker 3: played by Tom size More Natural Born Killers nineteen ninety four. Anybody, Yeah, anybody, Yes,

1870
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:43,120
Speaker 3: it's all right, all right, So at least we're all together.

1871
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 3: We can give a big hug there, underrated movie. Robert

1872
01:24:45,800 --> 01:24:48,880
Speaker 3: Downey Junior was in a weird place in his career

1873
01:24:48,920 --> 01:24:50,880
Speaker 3: at that point and does a pretty good job as

1874
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 3: the crazy TV journalist in the satirical kind of look

1875
01:24:54,800 --> 01:24:57,280
Speaker 3: at our cable news world all those years ago. But

1876
01:24:57,840 --> 01:25:02,200
Speaker 3: Signetti after getting drummed Ohio State, and I gotta say,

1877
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 3: and I kind of liked Ohio State said, well, we

1878
01:25:04,720 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 3: could kneel on the ball, but why would we want

1879
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:09,880
Speaker 3: to do that. Let's score another touchdown to make sure

1880
01:25:09,920 --> 01:25:13,400
Speaker 3: people really understand how dominant we've been. After that late

1881
01:25:13,439 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 3: Indiana touchdown, someone asked him, Hey, to the Hoosiers after

1882
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 3: they're suffering that first loss to Ohio State, do they

1883
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:23,840
Speaker 3: still belong in the twelve team playoff? After a pause,

1884
01:25:23,880 --> 01:25:27,960
Speaker 3: Signetty goes, what is that a serious question? I'm not

1885
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:30,720
Speaker 3: even gonna answer that one. The answer is so obvious.

1886
01:25:31,040 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: He's right, But is it that obvious? I think it is.

1887
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:35,800
Speaker 2: I think it is.

1888
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:37,680
Speaker 4: Yes, what's the signature win?

1889
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:39,599
Speaker 2: I mean, but why isn't anybody asked?

1890
01:25:39,600 --> 01:25:39,760
Speaker 4: Way?

1891
01:25:39,840 --> 01:25:42,200
Speaker 2: How come no one's asking that question to schools like

1892
01:25:42,240 --> 01:25:45,320
Speaker 2: Boise State or Bringham Young. Then I answer those questions

1893
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 2: to those coaches, why Indiana?

1894
01:25:48,200 --> 01:25:50,519
Speaker 4: Well, Indiana's in the field. I think those other guys

1895
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,800
Speaker 4: are French, right, like was boys in the field last

1896
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,440
Speaker 4: week when they opened? Or they are there on the periphery.

1897
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:57,639
Speaker 4: I thought he went to the edges.

1898
01:25:58,960 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 2: I guess on the edge.

1899
01:25:59,840 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that's the thing. It's on the edges versus

1900
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:07,519
Speaker 3: being a number one, you know, battle for a top

1901
01:26:07,600 --> 01:26:12,440
Speaker 3: five in the Big Ten for a shot at Oregon

1902
01:26:12,600 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 3: and all of these things that roll through, but all

1903
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,720
Speaker 3: the way being defiant, because that's the other thing, is right,

1904
01:26:18,760 --> 01:26:21,519
Speaker 3: he's been up front and been a hey google me,

1905
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:24,479
Speaker 3: and all the games flowing out of that. Right, he's

1906
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:26,960
Speaker 3: been pretty chesty throughout the year. I don't I don't

1907
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,080
Speaker 3: remember anybody from Boise State or by you or anybody

1908
01:26:30,120 --> 01:26:32,640
Speaker 3: doing the I'm the wiz. Nobody beats me there. You

1909
01:26:32,640 --> 01:26:34,719
Speaker 3: got Seinfeld reference. I'm going to nineteen ninety.

1910
01:26:36,120 --> 01:26:40,120
Speaker 2: Every one of their wins was at least by two touchdowns,

1911
01:26:40,120 --> 01:26:43,320
Speaker 2: which is impressive. Okay, the strength is schedule. I think

1912
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 2: the list hundred and six, one hundred and six with

1913
01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,439
Speaker 2: you know, but you can't blame them especially you can't

1914
01:26:48,600 --> 01:26:51,200
Speaker 2: pick who you play. That's the conference. I mean they're

1915
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 2: out of conference games, certainly that that's a problem there,

1916
01:26:53,960 --> 01:26:57,639
Speaker 2: But why punish a team for their record. I don't understand.

1917
01:26:57,760 --> 01:27:00,679
Speaker 2: I never understood that they're undefeated right.

1918
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:02,839
Speaker 3: Every other conference?

1919
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:07,320
Speaker 4: Yeah they were, Yeah, they were Cupcake City cupcakes. Come on, man,

1920
01:27:07,360 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 4: we sprinkled cupcakes.

1921
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:11,080
Speaker 2: So both you guys are telling them there's a chance

1922
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:12,840
Speaker 2: that they may not be in the final twelve in

1923
01:27:12,880 --> 01:27:13,240
Speaker 2: the play.

1924
01:27:13,400 --> 01:27:15,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if they're one of the

1925
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:19,519
Speaker 4: twelve best teams in college football. Like, I don't know

1926
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,000
Speaker 4: how many games they would have won if they had

1927
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:23,439
Speaker 4: the slate, what they had to deal with, what Georgia

1928
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:25,320
Speaker 4: was dealing with. I know this. I know they can't

1929
01:27:25,320 --> 01:27:27,400
Speaker 4: be in in Georgia out. I know that.

1930
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:32,519
Speaker 2: Look, Georgias to Alabama an old miss, all right, and two.

1931
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 4: Good teams, like two good teams that they lost to.

1932
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 4: They played the toughest schedule they play Texas, they take.

1933
01:27:37,600 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 4: They played a very courageous and competitive schedule, like they

1934
01:27:42,600 --> 01:27:45,400
Speaker 4: didn't have any cupcakes, as I've said with Indiana, like

1935
01:27:45,800 --> 01:27:48,400
Speaker 4: who's the signature win UCLA?

1936
01:27:48,479 --> 01:27:51,360
Speaker 2: But don't you think Charlot, But even though Georgia lost

1937
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,519
Speaker 2: to Alabama, don't you think that Alabama's lost yesterday to

1938
01:27:54,560 --> 01:27:57,120
Speaker 2: Oklahoma kind of like takes a little air out of

1939
01:27:57,160 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 2: the balloon over there with the Alabama game. How tough

1940
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:00,920
Speaker 2: al Tima really is?

1941
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:03,920
Speaker 3: Well that becomes one of the questions, right, they become

1942
01:28:03,960 --> 01:28:06,439
Speaker 3: a three loss team, but they were still number seven,

1943
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:10,439
Speaker 3: whether we want to argue the old SEC bias thing

1944
01:28:10,520 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 3: or not. Andy and Bucky all of that to say

1945
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:15,920
Speaker 3: So what are the photos to them, is that they're

1946
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:19,200
Speaker 3: still seen as a great team versus you know, Michigan,

1947
01:28:19,600 --> 01:28:22,400
Speaker 3: you know the team that Indiana last beat. They barely

1948
01:28:22,520 --> 01:28:23,200
Speaker 3: escaped there.

1949
01:28:23,600 --> 01:28:25,240
Speaker 2: They look at the one lost record for Shore and

1950
01:28:25,240 --> 01:28:27,479
Speaker 2: then look at the stranger schedule, and I was still looking, like,

1951
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 2: how many points you put up us? Next week? Indiana's

1952
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 2: going to play Purdue, So I have to put sixty

1953
01:28:31,520 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 2: points up against Purdue. Is that what they have to do?

1954
01:28:34,560 --> 01:28:37,160
Speaker 4: Yes, because Purdue is one in ten. Yes, they need

1955
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 4: to hang half a hundred on them to impress me.

1956
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:42,840
Speaker 4: They didn't need to bust the clock that that we're

1957
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:45,400
Speaker 4: getting to the point where we're playing for seeding in

1958
01:28:45,439 --> 01:28:48,680
Speaker 4: those things. Yes, it can't be thirty one to twenty eight.

1959
01:28:48,800 --> 01:28:51,200
Speaker 4: Even though it's a rivalry game and those games can

1960
01:28:51,200 --> 01:28:54,679
Speaker 4: play out like that. The margin for air for them

1961
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 4: is super small. They need to blow them out.

1962
01:28:56,840 --> 01:28:58,680
Speaker 3: See. That's the other thing I like about this, that

1963
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:01,080
Speaker 3: we have enough teams in that argument, right, because even

1964
01:29:01,080 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 3: in the last few years, we might have been arguing

1965
01:29:03,560 --> 01:29:06,920
Speaker 3: about all right, number five, number six, and should they

1966
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 3: have gotten the four seed, and we can you know,

1967
01:29:08,960 --> 01:29:11,360
Speaker 3: go all up in arms. Now we're talking about another

1968
01:29:11,439 --> 01:29:14,439
Speaker 3: ten teams for that back end of the field right

1969
01:29:14,520 --> 01:29:17,799
Speaker 3: to where you expanded out. You're trying to go conference

1970
01:29:17,880 --> 01:29:20,720
Speaker 3: to conference and to your point, you know asking, hey,

1971
01:29:20,720 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 3: do they need to win by fifty and hang the

1972
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 3: half one hundred. We're going back to old school football, right,

1973
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,479
Speaker 3: everybody that hated the loss of tradition, guess what, it's back.

1974
01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:33,280
Speaker 3: You have to go and impress everybody by beating the

1975
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:35,760
Speaker 3: hell out of teams like you did thirty years ago,

1976
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:37,439
Speaker 3: when Bowden and Spurrier would be.

1977
01:29:37,400 --> 01:29:38,639
Speaker 2: Like, hey, is that enough?

1978
01:29:39,240 --> 01:29:42,759
Speaker 3: Nah, keep going, We're back to that same thing, Andy,

1979
01:29:42,960 --> 01:29:44,240
Speaker 3: everything old is new again.

1980
01:29:44,439 --> 01:29:45,960
Speaker 2: Well, I think you're right about that. But I think

1981
01:29:45,960 --> 01:29:48,720
Speaker 2: that Indiana got a break. Yes, they was old misloss too.

1982
01:29:48,720 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 2: They lost to Florida. Say those those teams that were

1983
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:54,240
Speaker 2: up there and maybe have been ahead of Indiana that

1984
01:29:54,360 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 2: lost yesterday. That helps Indiana. I mean, I don't know

1985
01:29:57,479 --> 01:29:59,479
Speaker 2: what these voters are thinking, what they're going to say.

1986
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,200
Speaker 2: They may just look at it and say, well, they

1987
01:30:01,240 --> 01:30:03,439
Speaker 2: didn't play anybody, didn't beat anybody. The heck with him.

1988
01:30:03,439 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 2: I mean, they got, as Bucky says, they got to

1989
01:30:05,360 --> 01:30:06,960
Speaker 2: be perdue. I don't know if they gotta beat him

1990
01:30:06,960 --> 01:30:08,840
Speaker 2: by half a hundred, but they gotta beat him. It

1991
01:30:08,920 --> 01:30:13,040
Speaker 2: can't be close. Yeah, that's thirty one to twenty eight

1992
01:30:13,080 --> 01:30:15,120
Speaker 2: games gonna hurt him. They win thirty one twenty eight

1993
01:30:15,200 --> 01:30:16,599
Speaker 2: next week, that's gonna hurt in Deanna.

1994
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:19,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, whatever it spread is, they need plus fifteen.

1995
01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,040
Speaker 3: Right, Well, we'll look into the spread here in a second.

1996
01:30:22,080 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 3: One of the things that did come up though, is

1997
01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:27,560
Speaker 3: an interesting matter of if you are, say a two

1998
01:30:27,680 --> 01:30:29,720
Speaker 3: loss team or even a one loss team that may

1999
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 3: be on the fringe going to your conference title game

2000
01:30:33,080 --> 01:30:34,640
Speaker 3: could actually come back to hershe. I think it was

2001
01:30:34,760 --> 01:30:37,719
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffen that actually brought it up, you know, being

2002
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:41,080
Speaker 3: a little bit of a soothsayer himself. You know, you

2003
01:30:41,160 --> 01:30:42,799
Speaker 3: still got to go out and take care of business.

2004
01:30:43,120 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 3: You know, the old boxing rule or whatever. Don't leave

2005
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:49,920
Speaker 3: it to the judges, right, You go in and vanquish

2006
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:53,160
Speaker 3: you your opponent. You don't dance in the ring like

2007
01:30:53,240 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 3: I don't know Mike Tyson and Jake Paul things like that.

2008
01:30:56,640 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 3: You go in and you go to knock the hell

2009
01:30:58,600 --> 01:31:01,000
Speaker 3: someone knocked the hell out. But you know, when we

2010
01:31:01,040 --> 01:31:05,320
Speaker 3: look at the schedule going forward, that is a consideration, right,

2011
01:31:05,360 --> 01:31:07,120
Speaker 3: because some teams are going to get hung with their

2012
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:10,519
Speaker 3: third loss coming out of a conference title game, whereas

2013
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:12,320
Speaker 3: they would have been better off having the week off,

2014
01:31:12,360 --> 01:31:15,040
Speaker 3: sit and eating extra leftover stuffing in turkey.

2015
01:31:16,240 --> 01:31:18,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's always been the case, that extra game. And

2016
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,080
Speaker 4: I know they've they've talked about like not really counting that,

2017
01:31:21,280 --> 01:31:24,120
Speaker 4: Like anybody who was in who plays in a conference

2018
01:31:24,160 --> 01:31:26,840
Speaker 4: title game shouldn't drop out. But we'll see if the

2019
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,839
Speaker 4: voters actually listen and pay attention to that. You shouldn't

2020
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:33,160
Speaker 4: be penalized if you reach the conference title game. That's

2021
01:31:33,200 --> 01:31:35,160
Speaker 4: like a bonus game. That's kind of like one of

2022
01:31:35,200 --> 01:31:37,839
Speaker 4: those that if you win, great, If you lose, nothing,

2023
01:31:38,320 --> 01:31:40,519
Speaker 4: nothing happened, and it should be factored in like that.

2024
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, in theorl that they don't look at the number

2025
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:46,680
Speaker 2: of losses. You know, a team with two losses I

2026
01:31:46,680 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 2: think is a possibility of very good possibilities. But you

2027
01:31:49,240 --> 01:31:50,760
Speaker 2: got to take a look a hard look at a

2028
01:31:50,760 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 2: team with three losses and see who they played and

2029
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,479
Speaker 2: who they lost to. There's it going to be a

2030
01:31:55,520 --> 01:31:57,519
Speaker 2: team in there with three losses, and I have no

2031
01:31:57,520 --> 01:31:58,200
Speaker 2: problem with that.

2032
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,400
Speaker 3: See, this is where I think it gets fund is

2033
01:32:00,400 --> 01:32:03,040
Speaker 3: that if you really want to make pay per view

2034
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:06,160
Speaker 3: television because we didn't have that for boxing, right, everybody

2035
01:32:06,160 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 3: had their Netflix subscription for the Paul Tyson thing. Wwe

2036
01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:15,639
Speaker 3: either marquee events are now part of the larger peacock world.

2037
01:32:15,680 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 3: Like we've lost the fifty nine to ninety five for

2038
01:32:18,840 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 3: two or three days, I'd pay the fifty nine to

2039
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:22,800
Speaker 3: ninety five a day to see that committee room in

2040
01:32:22,840 --> 01:32:27,280
Speaker 3: action like we've always wanted for the NCAA tournament. This

2041
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,280
Speaker 3: would be absolutely fascinating to me to try to see

2042
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 3: the stump speeches. As much as I'm happy we're out

2043
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:37,000
Speaker 3: of political season, don't get me wrong, I got my

2044
01:32:37,080 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 3: ads back. Although you know we went and maybe we're

2045
01:32:39,920 --> 01:32:42,519
Speaker 3: influenced by all the ads. We went and saw Wicked yesterday,

2046
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:45,200
Speaker 3: so I can put that one away. So that and Gladiator.

2047
01:32:45,240 --> 01:32:48,360
Speaker 3: Maybe I don't have as many commercials on my television,

2048
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:51,439
Speaker 3: but this is one where i'd want the politicking. All right,

2049
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:55,080
Speaker 3: sell me on your squad, like take I found the

2050
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:58,000
Speaker 3: points bread for next week. Ready over unders fifty five

2051
01:32:58,360 --> 01:33:04,599
Speaker 3: Indiana on the road, plush Indiana is giving what is it?

2052
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:06,439
Speaker 3: Six and a half? Is that what I'm seeing? Though?

2053
01:33:06,479 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 3: That's it. That's last that's last week, that's last years

2054
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:13,519
Speaker 3: that came up. Oh, which is silly to make. Yeah,

2055
01:33:13,560 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 3: go to that for a second.

2056
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:16,880
Speaker 2: I wouldn't want to be in that committee number one,

2057
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,439
Speaker 2: and certainly I wouldn't want to have to answer to

2058
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:20,920
Speaker 2: the media why one is in and why one is

2059
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:22,360
Speaker 2: not in. I wouldn't want that.

2060
01:33:22,520 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 3: Well, the beauty of it is you get to give

2061
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:27,280
Speaker 3: a stump speech because you generally don't have to justify

2062
01:33:27,320 --> 01:33:27,840
Speaker 3: yourself though.

2063
01:33:27,880 --> 01:33:30,640
Speaker 2: Andy, Yeah, but it's tough. I mean, I mean, I

2064
01:33:30,680 --> 01:33:32,360
Speaker 2: think this year you may have to justify yourself. You

2065
01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:34,479
Speaker 2: got a team of three losses in there, and maybe

2066
01:33:34,680 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 2: Indiana's not in there. How do you justify that? Think

2067
01:33:38,560 --> 01:33:40,280
Speaker 2: about it. I mean that's tough.

2068
01:33:40,439 --> 01:33:42,320
Speaker 3: I think that's where you do a thing like you're

2069
01:33:42,320 --> 01:33:44,120
Speaker 3: an official that knew you just blew the call and

2070
01:33:44,160 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 3: you go running off the field.

2071
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,200
Speaker 2: You're right, I agree. Well, only one person is going

2072
01:33:48,240 --> 01:33:50,160
Speaker 2: to speak, by the chairman of the committee. I mean

2073
01:33:50,160 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 2: everybody else, the other voters woun't have to talk. There's

2074
01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 2: only one spokesperson, and that's the guys that have to

2075
01:33:55,080 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 2: take the blame, take the heat. Like Brian Kelly did

2076
01:33:58,160 --> 01:34:00,720
Speaker 2: yesterday in lsu I couldn't believe that. I watched part

2077
01:34:00,760 --> 01:34:03,240
Speaker 2: of that game with Vanderbilt and the fans for ten minutes.

2078
01:34:03,240 --> 01:34:06,759
Speaker 2: I told this to Bucky earlier. Fire Brian Kelly chance

2079
01:34:07,280 --> 01:34:09,960
Speaker 2: chance in the stands seven to four. Then have to worry.

2080
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:12,920
Speaker 2: LSU has no problem because they ain't going anywhere except

2081
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:14,920
Speaker 2: some half ass bowl game.

2082
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:20,120
Speaker 3: Nicely done. Yeah, he's a guy that for Notre Dame fans,

2083
01:34:20,160 --> 01:34:22,800
Speaker 3: I'll ask you this one, Bucky, give you first crack

2084
01:34:22,880 --> 01:34:25,960
Speaker 3: at it. Notre Dame fans happier that their team is

2085
01:34:26,280 --> 01:34:28,600
Speaker 3: running up big time points and winning games like this

2086
01:34:28,800 --> 01:34:32,360
Speaker 3: for Freeman or the fact that Brian Kelly is struggling,

2087
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:34,600
Speaker 3: suffering and then losing the number one recruiter. That's a

2088
01:34:34,680 --> 01:34:38,080
Speaker 3: tough question, right, I mean you want to talk about

2089
01:34:38,120 --> 01:34:40,240
Speaker 3: that which is more exciting and delicious for them?

2090
01:34:42,080 --> 01:34:45,560
Speaker 4: I think I would say the prospect of like recruising

2091
01:34:45,640 --> 01:34:47,719
Speaker 4: all that other stuff. I think I think that stuff

2092
01:34:47,800 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 4: is more exciting than some of the other stuff.

2093
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, they weren't saying that after to know

2094
01:34:53,400 --> 01:34:54,160
Speaker 2: the Illinois though.

2095
01:34:55,080 --> 01:34:57,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's a long time ago at this point. Yeah,

2096
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:00,640
Speaker 3: that's the beauty of it, right, When you lose recency

2097
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:01,400
Speaker 3: et cetera.

2098
01:35:02,400 --> 01:35:05,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that that does matter, and Andy did

2099
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,479
Speaker 4: no such thing as as loss is just lessons. You

2100
01:35:08,600 --> 01:35:11,240
Speaker 4: learn from the lessons, look at you to become better.

2101
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:14,920
Speaker 4: The professionaln Illinois Northern Illinois taught them how to be

2102
01:35:15,040 --> 01:35:17,519
Speaker 4: more violent. You saw Marcus Freeman before the game. What

2103
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:21,680
Speaker 4: do you want? I choose violence, We choose violence, and

2104
01:35:21,760 --> 01:35:24,760
Speaker 4: then they violently whipped army. They needed a loss to

2105
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:25,600
Speaker 4: kind of wake them up.

2106
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 3: All right, I got the page to refresh. This one

2107
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:35,360
Speaker 3: looks more appropriate when we're talking about giant, giant points.

2108
01:35:35,400 --> 01:35:38,000
Speaker 3: Breads twenty five and a half actually is what we're

2109
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:38,360
Speaker 3: looking at.

2110
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 4: H So that's a big point.

2111
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:44,200
Speaker 3: So as you said, Bucky, Uh, to impress folks, you

2112
01:35:44,280 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 3: gotta be north of that. Good luck. See now I'm

2113
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:52,320
Speaker 3: going into Hamilton, good Luck. He's Bucky Brooks, that's Andy Furman.

2114
01:35:52,320 --> 01:35:54,680
Speaker 3: I'm by Carmen coming up NEX. We'll continue looking at

2115
01:35:54,800 --> 01:35:58,479
Speaker 3: week twelve of your National Football League season. Already one

2116
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,599
Speaker 3: game in the books. Again, a reminder, we have six

2117
01:36:01,120 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 3: teams on buy. Maybe that's where we jump off. Why

2118
01:36:05,400 --> 01:36:08,439
Speaker 3: at this stage is it a competitive advantage? Does it matter?

2119
01:36:08,840 --> 01:36:13,559
Speaker 3: I don't know, Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, there you go, Andy Furman,

2120
01:36:13,600 --> 01:36:16,560
Speaker 3: you get to exhale for a week. No, it's it

Speaker 3: a ladder here getting into the holiday holiday holiday, maybe

2135
01:37:05,479 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 3: letting off some steam knowing family is nearby so they

2136
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:13,560
Speaker 3: are not the ones that get the directed oncoming. I

2137
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:16,599
Speaker 3: don't know. Maybe it's the frustrations of long football seasons

2138
01:37:16,800 --> 01:37:20,920
Speaker 3: as a Bears fan. Today's just another day, right, Mark Ramsey,

2139
01:37:21,320 --> 01:37:27,240
Speaker 3: just another day, not day year. I'm trying to localize it.

2140
01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:29,720
Speaker 3: Because it makes me feel better. If I just do

2141
01:37:29,840 --> 01:37:32,360
Speaker 3: it as another day, it works. If I do it

2142
01:37:32,400 --> 01:37:35,680
Speaker 3: as another year, it becomes a long list of depressing,

2143
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:39,200
Speaker 3: sequential kind of circumstance which is gonna put me into

2144
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:44,200
Speaker 3: a holiday funk, which many people have because of seasonal issues. Anyway, Andy, could.

2145
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:44,639
Speaker 2: You do me a favor?

2146
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:46,599
Speaker 3: Do you have to take me down that highway?

2147
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:47,960
Speaker 2: Could you do me one favor?

2148
01:37:48,160 --> 01:37:48,400
Speaker 4: Hit me?

2149
01:37:48,560 --> 01:37:50,640
Speaker 2: Could you take the picture of that EBA philosophy your

2150
01:37:50,680 --> 01:37:51,240
Speaker 2: office wall?

2151
01:37:51,320 --> 01:37:51,639
Speaker 4: Please?

2152
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:56,640
Speaker 3: I replace it with a picture of myself. It's like

2153
01:37:56,760 --> 01:37:58,840
Speaker 3: in the voting process, I vote for me.

2154
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 2: Although Buck Bucky list to play dots, leave it up there.

2155
01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:04,360
Speaker 2: Maybe Bucky can throw some dart to Ebaflus for you.

2156
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 3: I don't know. If he still has more years on

2157
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,439
Speaker 3: a contract, as is rumored, he may not be going anywhere.

2158
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,080
Speaker 3: But that's a whole other discussion as we get through this.

2159
01:38:15,240 --> 01:38:17,479
Speaker 3: But shortly after the show, Hey, the podcast will go up.

2160
01:38:17,560 --> 01:38:19,560
Speaker 3: If you missed any of today's show, Brianna's going to

2172
01:38:57,280 --> 01:39:00,120
Speaker 3: your friends, whether you're making fun of us and they

2173
01:39:00,200 --> 01:39:01,760
Speaker 3: just want to hear the next dumb thing out of

2174
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 3: my mouth or not, it's working. And remember, the greatest

2175

Speaker 3: gift you can give this year outside of your time,

2176
01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:11,400
Speaker 3: is your time spent downloading the iHeartRadio app for all

2177
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:13,519
Speaker 3: of your friends and family so they could take us

2178
01:39:13,560 --> 01:39:17,920
Speaker 3: with us, take us with them wherever they go. How's

2179
01:39:17,960 --> 01:39:18,840
Speaker 3: that sell?

2180
01:39:19,360 --> 01:39:19,599
Speaker 4: Sell?

2181
01:39:20,160 --> 01:39:20,559
Speaker 3: Sell? All?

2182
01:39:20,640 --> 01:39:20,760
Speaker 2: Right?

2183
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:24,439
Speaker 3: Guys, reference to with the six teams on buy this

2184
01:39:24,600 --> 01:39:28,760
Speaker 3: week and then we do this again in week fourteen. Danver, Indianapolis,

2185
01:39:28,800 --> 01:39:31,880
Speaker 3: New England, Washington, Baltimore, Houston, Bucky. I'll start with you

2186
01:39:32,040 --> 01:39:34,720
Speaker 3: five years in the league, around the league, scouting and

2187
01:39:35,200 --> 01:39:38,599
Speaker 3: everything you've done over at NFL dot com. How much

2188
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,880
Speaker 3: does this get talked about teams that get a late

2189
01:39:42,040 --> 01:39:43,840
Speaker 3: bye week or do we just kind of shrug our

2190
01:39:43,840 --> 01:39:45,160
Speaker 3: shoulder and say, hey, that's what we got.

2191
01:39:45,800 --> 01:39:48,040
Speaker 4: Doesn't get talked about much. You're always looking for when

2192
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,640
Speaker 4: to buy is and you handle it differently based on

2193
01:39:50,720 --> 01:39:53,280
Speaker 4: where it's position on the calendar. This would be a

2194
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:55,479
Speaker 4: perfect time to take a bye if you're a team

2195
01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:58,679
Speaker 4: that is an older team that's tired hitting down the stretch.

2196
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:01,400
Speaker 4: Perfect time to rese refocus and get ready for the

2197
01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:04,200
Speaker 4: stretch run because not only do six or seven games

2198
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 4: that remain down the stretch is the tournament. So having

2199
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,840
Speaker 4: a break right around now is perfect. It should set

2200
01:40:11,880 --> 01:40:14,520
Speaker 4: you up to have a solid run into the postseason.

2201
01:40:16,520 --> 01:40:19,880
Speaker 2: That's interesting because you know, buys are great, but I

2202
01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:22,040
Speaker 2: think rest is even more important because I look at

2203
01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:24,720
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins schedule. They play today and they got

2204
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:27,400
Speaker 2: a big one today, but they're playing Thanksgiving night, and

2205
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:29,760
Speaker 2: I think that's even worse than not having a buye.

2206
01:40:30,120 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, because honestly, and Bucket, you know this.

2207
01:40:32,560 --> 01:40:35,280
Speaker 2: I mean the practice routine. Usually you're off on Monday,

2208
01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 2: come and do some weightlifting. You look at some film.

2209
01:40:37,520 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 2: Tuesday is an official day off. They get paid on

2210
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 2: Tuesday usually. But the weeks is ridiculous because when you

2211
01:40:43,040 --> 01:40:47,040
Speaker 2: play on Thursday and you play Sunday, Monday becomes like

2212
01:40:47,080 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 2: a Wednesday. I mean it's nuts. I mean your body

2213
01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:53,280
Speaker 2: has to regroup, the you just have to rest. So

2214
01:40:53,560 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 2: bys are great, but having schedules that Thursday Sunday whatever,

2215
01:40:57,880 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 2: that's even worse. And I don't lie because you're not

2216
01:41:00,720 --> 01:41:03,720
Speaker 2: seeing the best of the best of an athlete. Maybe

2217
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:05,800
Speaker 2: I'm wrong. I just don't think you've seen one hundred

2218
01:41:05,800 --> 01:41:08,599
Speaker 2: percent of an athlete when he's playing Thursday after playing

2219
01:41:08,600 --> 01:41:09,160
Speaker 2: on Sunday.

2220
01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 3: Well, we'll see that in the flex Bucky. You know,

2221
01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,360
Speaker 3: we get that Denver and Chargers game that got flexed

2222
01:41:16,400 --> 01:41:18,680
Speaker 3: to a Thursday, so they become the first team in

2223
01:41:18,800 --> 01:41:22,320
Speaker 3: ninety eight years. When that happens in Week sixteen, they'll

2224
01:41:22,320 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 3: play Sunday and then play multiple road Thursday games. Sean

2225
01:41:25,680 --> 01:41:28,120
Speaker 3: Payton just said, well, it's a road game anyway, right,

2226
01:41:28,479 --> 01:41:30,400
Speaker 3: So I like the fact that we have another opportunity.

2227
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,040
Speaker 3: I remember this long time ago. Boys, we'd rather be

2228
01:41:33,160 --> 01:41:36,000
Speaker 3: flexed in than flexed out right. By the way, a

2229
01:41:36,040 --> 01:41:37,840
Speaker 3: lot of flexing that's what we want to do a

2230
01:41:37,920 --> 01:41:38,120
Speaker 3: lot of.

2231
01:41:39,840 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 2: Let me ask this question to both of you guys.

2232
01:41:41,600 --> 01:41:44,360
Speaker 2: I mean, when a team plays on a Thursday or

2233
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:47,960
Speaker 2: Sunday or a Monday, they're basically the only showing town.

2234
01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:50,679
Speaker 2: How much of an advance is that to other teams

2235
01:41:50,720 --> 01:41:53,719
Speaker 2: to see tendencies you know on that team because everybody,

2236
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:56,360
Speaker 2: every NFL player is played watching those games at that

2237
01:41:56,479 --> 01:41:58,840
Speaker 2: point in time, right, I mean, they're the only showing town,

2238
01:41:58,840 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 2: They're the only game on It's that an advantage for

2239
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:03,360
Speaker 2: other teams and a disadvantage to those I mean, it's

2240
01:42:03,360 --> 01:42:05,559
Speaker 2: great for the fans and it's great to have that exposure,

2241
01:42:05,680 --> 01:42:07,719
Speaker 2: but it may be a disadvantage to those teams because

2242
01:42:08,040 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 2: you're being exposed to everybody. And let's face it, every

2243
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 2: player is not watching film on every team, but on

2244
01:42:14,320 --> 01:42:15,160
Speaker 2: those nights they are.

2245
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:20,360
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, It's funny because those games are huge for

2246
01:42:20,439 --> 01:42:23,680
Speaker 4: the people that are involved, Like those primetime games Monday night,

2247
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:26,639
Speaker 4: Thursday night, Sunday night. You know that the world is watching,

2248
01:42:26,760 --> 01:42:29,959
Speaker 4: so you up to annie. But from a competitive standpoint,

2249
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:32,280
Speaker 4: you want to see those teams on those stages because

2250
01:42:32,280 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 4: you can begin to take notes on what you're seeing.

2251
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:36,800
Speaker 4: You get a feel for what you're seeing. You hear

2252
01:42:37,280 --> 01:42:39,880
Speaker 4: the broadcast to share things from the production meeting that

2253
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 4: you wouldn't have been privy to unless they shared it.

2254
01:42:42,439 --> 01:42:45,040
Speaker 4: So it can be a very positive thing. It's just

2255
01:42:45,120 --> 01:42:46,560
Speaker 4: the way that you go about managing it.

2256
01:42:46,840 --> 01:42:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the curiosity, right, It's all about the

2257
01:42:49,479 --> 01:42:52,920
Speaker 3: roster management stuff. I will throw this in. As soon

2258
01:42:52,960 --> 01:42:55,760
Speaker 3: as that guy announced me being here in Los Angeles,

2259
01:42:55,840 --> 01:42:59,439
Speaker 3: and when everything was announced coming to La Guys, I

2260
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:01,679
Speaker 3: got on every mailing list, right. I wanted to see

2261
01:43:02,120 --> 01:43:04,880
Speaker 3: the messaging about tickets and all of those kind of

2262
01:43:04,960 --> 01:43:08,680
Speaker 3: fun things, to see the sales, sales, sales, So as

2263
01:43:08,720 --> 01:43:10,920
Speaker 3: soon as this got flexed out, I'm gonna guess they

2264
01:43:10,960 --> 01:43:14,400
Speaker 3: had a bunch of sweetholders who couldn't make it, which meant, hey,

2265
01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 3: Mike Carmen, how would you like to come and get

2266
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:18,600
Speaker 3: a suite for this Thursday night came. I got a

2267
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:21,000
Speaker 3: little bit of sticker shock until I did the math

2268
01:43:21,080 --> 01:43:23,200
Speaker 3: and I said, you know what, that's actually pretty reasonable

2269
01:43:23,520 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 3: as long as I bring seventeen other people who really

2270
01:43:26,479 --> 01:43:29,200
Speaker 3: like to drink and eat. Well, I'm just saying I'm

2271
01:43:29,240 --> 01:43:33,400
Speaker 3: not coughing up the money. I much rad No, no, no, well,

2272
01:43:33,479 --> 01:43:36,080
Speaker 3: look I gotta work man. I broadcast for the people

2273
01:43:36,160 --> 01:43:40,160
Speaker 3: on Thursday nights. Man a Monday and Thursday reaction. I mean,

2274
01:43:40,200 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 3: that's what Smith and I do. There's no second guessing,

2275
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:45,719
Speaker 3: there's no waiting for see which way the wind blows

2276
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:49,640
Speaker 3: following a big game on a national stage. No, no, no, no.

2277
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:52,400
Speaker 3: We watch it real time, and when a team does

2278
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:55,719
Speaker 3: terrible things, we tell you in real time. The coach

2279
01:43:55,840 --> 01:43:58,960
Speaker 3: makes a boneheaded decision because he can't run clock management,

2280
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:02,599
Speaker 3: we let you know. So I feel obligated. I feel

2281
01:44:02,720 --> 01:44:05,080
Speaker 3: honored to be a man of the people on a

2282
01:44:05,160 --> 01:44:07,360
Speaker 3: Thursday night. How's that?

2283
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:07,720
Speaker 2: Wow?

2284
01:44:07,840 --> 01:44:09,800
Speaker 3: Did I sell that as well as the iHeartRadio app?

2285
01:44:11,840 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 3: It's one hundred percent categorically true, don't get me wrong. Yeah,

2286
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:16,640
Speaker 3: the bye week, it was more just a question of

2287
01:44:17,000 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 3: you know, when we're talking about you know, if you

2288
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 3: have it this week or you have it week fourteen, Like, yeah,

2289
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 3: we got the stretcher on, we're feeling good about it, versus, hey,

2290
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:26,200
Speaker 3: those guys had theirs in week four Now they have

2291
01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:28,720
Speaker 3: to go play twelve straight just to get to the

2292
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:30,640
Speaker 3: end of the season. I guess it goes into the

2293
01:44:30,680 --> 01:44:34,120
Speaker 3: same argument of when you get those divisional games, right.

2294
01:44:34,160 --> 01:44:36,960
Speaker 2: You almost say that. You talk about advantages and disadvantages. Certainly,

2295
01:44:36,960 --> 01:44:38,400
Speaker 2: I think it's an advantage to have a bye week

2296
01:44:38,479 --> 01:44:40,680
Speaker 2: later on, because basically you're banged up, you evitable of

2297
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:43,640
Speaker 2: a rest. But no one talks about the advantage of

2298
01:44:43,760 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 2: playing a and one weather climbing or b playing in

2299
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,679
Speaker 2: a dome. I mean, the Troy Lions are a great team,

2300
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:51,040
Speaker 2: but let's face it, it's pretty nasty this time of

2301
01:44:51,160 --> 01:44:53,960
Speaker 2: year in that weather for in that area. Okay, but

2302
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:56,679
Speaker 2: they're playing in a dome. I think that's a wonderful advance.

2303
01:44:56,720 --> 01:44:59,160
Speaker 3: Well, but it hadn't been an advantage for as long

2304
01:44:59,200 --> 01:45:00,479
Speaker 3: as the three of us have been.

2305
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 2: Alive, right, I understand they didn't, except.

2306
01:45:03,160 --> 01:45:05,439
Speaker 3: You know, except when you know Thanksgiving Day that meant

2307
01:45:05,479 --> 01:45:08,800
Speaker 3: you got a Thanksgiving game and a big music act

2308
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,120
Speaker 3: would come because they didn't have to stand in the elements.

2309
01:45:11,360 --> 01:45:13,519
Speaker 3: Other than that, you know, you've got to watch Barry Sanders.

2310
01:45:13,560 --> 01:45:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go way off on the deep end right now,

2311
01:45:15,360 --> 01:45:17,800
Speaker 2: because I've been an advocate for years that Major League

2312
01:45:17,800 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 2: Baseball should have every dimension in every ballpark the same. Okay,

2313
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,200
Speaker 2: maybe I crazy. There's an advantage when you play in

2314
01:45:23,280 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium's two ninety six down the right field line

2315
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 2: to hit a home run. But I think in the

2316
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,120
Speaker 2: National Football League, I think it should be the same standards.

2317
01:45:30,160 --> 01:45:33,120
Speaker 2: In fact that yeah, it's one hundred yards every field. However,

2318
01:45:33,439 --> 01:45:35,639
Speaker 2: I think every field should be outdoors. That's the game

2319
01:45:35,680 --> 01:45:38,040
Speaker 2: of football, right, But they don't do it. Every field

2320
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:41,480
Speaker 2: should be either grass or natural or not or artificial.

2321
01:45:41,560 --> 01:45:43,640
Speaker 2: It has to be the same. There should be consistency.

2322
01:45:43,640 --> 01:45:46,000
Speaker 2: They should be saying this around the league. But it's

2323
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 2: not all right. And I think there's an advantage if

2324
01:45:48,040 --> 01:45:49,920
Speaker 2: you're playing at Dome. I think there's an advantage if

2325
01:45:49,920 --> 01:45:52,719
Speaker 2: you're playing Tampa or in Miami rather than playing in Buffalo.

2326
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:57,000
Speaker 3: Well, I would just argue from and not having played it, Bucky,

2327
01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 3: we'll get yours in a sec just looking at it

2328
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:02,080
Speaker 3: from I think that's what makes baseball fun, right. You

2329
01:46:02,200 --> 01:46:06,680
Speaker 3: tailor your team to what works in your ballpark, right, Right.

2330
01:46:06,880 --> 01:46:09,400
Speaker 3: If the Yankees, I got a bunch of left handed

2331
01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 3: power hitters, and I go to work, and that's the

2332
01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:14,479
Speaker 3: cell job. When I go into free agency, forget about

2333
01:46:14,520 --> 01:46:17,120
Speaker 3: the fact that I can offer almost as much money

2334
01:46:17,160 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 3: as two or three of the highest spending teams when

2335
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:23,120
Speaker 3: we look at the Dodgers, et cetera. But the idea

2336
01:46:23,320 --> 01:46:25,600
Speaker 3: that you know, same thing for the NFL part of

2337
01:46:25,680 --> 01:46:28,679
Speaker 3: it is you know where you are. Most of these

2338
01:46:28,760 --> 01:46:33,280
Speaker 3: facilities are used for multiple purposes, right, So if I

2339
01:46:33,320 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 3: can have a summer concert season that hey, you want

2340
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,719
Speaker 3: to be outdoors, Well you're not going down to whatever

2341
01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 3: outdoor theater. No, no, No, we can house seventy thousand

2342
01:46:41,320 --> 01:46:43,080
Speaker 3: here in our stadium and we get the gate and

2343
01:46:43,120 --> 01:46:46,160
Speaker 3: everything else. And if you're in Detroit for all those months,

2344
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:50,000
Speaker 3: those are events you can't have if you're an outdoor stadium.

2345
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:52,920
Speaker 3: So I think it all plays to you know, the

2346
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:55,040
Speaker 3: business of it. And this is where I get on

2347
01:46:55,160 --> 01:46:58,280
Speaker 3: the old. Yes, I'm not a suit and tag at where,

2348
01:46:58,800 --> 01:47:00,920
Speaker 3: but maybe I think a little more like those guys

2349
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:07,640
Speaker 3: than I should. Yeah, I don't know, did I go

2350
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 3: Did I go too far? Bucky? Did I You know?

2351
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 3: In my in my selling, that different difference is what

2352
01:47:13,439 --> 01:47:15,519
Speaker 3: makes us great? How about that?

2353
01:47:15,720 --> 01:47:19,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, embrace embrace the differences. That's that's part of what

2354
01:47:19,400 --> 01:47:21,920
Speaker 4: it is in this league is always hard. But yeah,

2355
01:47:22,600 --> 01:47:23,680
Speaker 4: embrace embrace well.

2356
01:47:23,680 --> 01:47:26,000
Speaker 3: But because in the end, the the actual field you

2357
01:47:26,080 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 3: know isn't different in football so well, but that that's

2358
01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:34,000
Speaker 3: a whole other you know, weather and treatment or what

2359
01:47:34,160 --> 01:47:39,040
Speaker 3: the facilities used for soldier field. Uh, you have certain

2360
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:42,760
Speaker 3: inequities just in uh how should we say ownership and

2361
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,240
Speaker 3: poor management of resources.

2362
01:47:45,320 --> 01:47:47,800
Speaker 6: With that said, let's get to one of our games. Yes,

2363
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:49,600
Speaker 6: Cardinals at Seahawks.

2364
01:47:49,840 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 3: You guys were talking about this a little bit earlier.

2365
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:53,200
Speaker 3: There is a fun one six and four, five and

2366
01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,240
Speaker 3: five Arizona winners and four straight two and oh in

2367
01:47:56,400 --> 01:48:01,280
Speaker 3: the division. They've got a plus minus and runovers of zero.

2368
01:48:01,600 --> 01:48:03,599
Speaker 3: That puts him right in the middle. Nice meating part

2369
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:05,360
Speaker 3: of the curve. Now getting ahead and not falling behind.

2370
01:48:05,640 --> 01:48:09,719
Speaker 3: Connor thirteenth in rushing yarded, averaging about seventy a game.

2371
01:48:10,120 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 3: Kyler Murray two hundred and five passing thirty seven rushing,

2372
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 3: but efficient with the football, twelve touchdowns against just three

2373
01:48:17,360 --> 01:48:19,720
Speaker 3: picks for Seattle. After that three and zero start, they're

2374
01:48:19,720 --> 01:48:23,240
Speaker 3: two and five, and there's the large question. Geno Smith

2375
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:26,000
Speaker 3: first in the league, two hundred and seventy eight yards

2376
01:48:26,040 --> 01:48:29,519
Speaker 3: per game. He's absorbed thirty two sacks and he's thrown

2377
01:48:29,600 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 3: eleven picks. Turnover differential is a minus six, and they

2378
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:36,400
Speaker 3: haven't been able to stay healthy running nor can they

2379
01:48:36,560 --> 01:48:39,960
Speaker 3: stop the run. Arizona, one of the feel good stories

2380
01:48:40,080 --> 01:48:42,760
Speaker 3: of the year, doesn't continue today, Andy Ferman.

2381
01:48:42,600 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 2: You know what people are gonna say, Well, what makes

2382
01:48:44,320 --> 01:48:46,679
Speaker 2: Arizona so good this year? What's the difference? Okay? Because

2383
01:48:46,720 --> 01:48:48,519
Speaker 2: you know what it is, and Bucket Brooks has said

2384
01:48:48,560 --> 01:48:50,800
Speaker 2: this time and time again. I give him the credit,

2385
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:52,760
Speaker 2: all the credit in the world. It's the running game,

2386
01:48:53,080 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 2: the running game. When they entered the bye week, they

2387
01:48:55,080 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 2: were six in rushing yards per game, almost one hundred

2388
01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,360
Speaker 2: and fifty yards a game, and second in rushing per

2389
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:03,519
Speaker 2: play almost five and a half yards per play. Now,

2390
01:49:03,720 --> 01:49:06,960
Speaker 2: Carlo Murray against the Jets, he completed the Jets meet.

2391
01:49:07,479 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 2: Yeah right, but still he completed hisself final seventy pass

2392
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:12,960
Speaker 2: attempts when they beat him in thirty one to six

2393
01:49:13,040 --> 01:49:15,200
Speaker 2: in week number ten. So the running game is gonna

2394
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:17,240
Speaker 2: done for them, and I like him. I like the Cardinals.

2395
01:49:17,240 --> 01:49:18,760
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be closer than you think. But

2396
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:20,160
Speaker 2: I think the Cardinals win this game.

2397
01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:24,200
Speaker 4: But I think about the Cardinals game, right, yes, sir, yeah.

2398
01:49:24,280 --> 01:49:26,400
Speaker 4: So with the Cardinals, what I love about them is

2399
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:28,800
Speaker 4: how they're able to compliment it, make sure that they

2400
01:49:28,920 --> 01:49:31,840
Speaker 4: keep it on schedule. To me, the key is Caler Murray.

2401
01:49:32,120 --> 01:49:34,759
Speaker 4: Caler Murray has to bring out one of those special

2402
01:49:34,800 --> 01:49:37,280
Speaker 4: performances because if they're going to play complimentary ball, they

2403
01:49:37,320 --> 01:49:39,800
Speaker 4: have to possess the ball. He is the main guy

2404
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:43,040
Speaker 4: runner throw it. If he's able to control the game

2405
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:45,320
Speaker 4: as a dual threat, then the Cardinals can get it done.

2406
01:49:45,479 --> 01:49:49,519
Speaker 3: Cardinals narrow one point favorite forty seven your total in

2407
01:49:49,640 --> 01:49:52,280
Speaker 3: this one. Take care of the football. Good things happen

2408
01:49:52,360 --> 01:49:55,479
Speaker 3: in the National Football League. As we continue here, it's

01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 3: if you got behind the scenes audio and maybe we

2437
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:16,519
Speaker 3: can make that like a pay for kind of thing.

2438
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:20,439
Speaker 3: You'd get some extra conversation to fill it all out

2439
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 3: at Andy Furman FSR where you find and find me

2440
01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:25,679
Speaker 3: over at Swallow and don't find Bucky at Bucky Brooks.

2441
01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:29,000
Speaker 3: Read his latest at NFL dot com. All sorts of

2442
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,160
Speaker 3: things going on in our sporting universe, convergence of a

2443
01:51:32,240 --> 01:51:34,679
Speaker 3: lot of things. They have the big Formula One race.

2444
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:38,679
Speaker 3: George Russell with your victory in front of a sparse

2445
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 3: Las Vegas crowd last night, although it photographed beautifully, gentlemen,

2446
01:51:43,680 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 3: not a lot of people in the stands to cheer

2447
01:51:45,520 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 3: Russell taking home the crown and we stopping winning his

2448
01:51:48,960 --> 01:51:53,280
Speaker 3: fourth straight title. But that's what you get. You outpriced.

2449
01:51:53,680 --> 01:51:57,120
Speaker 3: You priced people out of the market when you first started.

2450
01:51:57,560 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 3: No matter what you do, you left the taste in

2451
01:51:59,360 --> 01:52:02,360
Speaker 3: their mouth that they have not been able to clear,

2452
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 3: no matter how much mouthwash you want to give them.

2453
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:08,800
Speaker 3: All right, let's continue on in our National Football League

2454
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:12,200
Speaker 3: season Week twelve. All the goodness that we talk about

2455
01:52:12,280 --> 01:52:14,760
Speaker 3: six teams on buy one game in the books, which

2456
01:52:14,840 --> 01:52:17,800
Speaker 3: means a nice short slate. Later on tonight, we've got

2457
01:52:17,840 --> 01:52:21,439
Speaker 3: a game live from so far, Eagles and Rams. The

2458
01:52:21,560 --> 01:52:26,360
Speaker 3: Eagles minus three coming in to the Rams. Forty nine

2459
01:52:26,680 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 3: is your total Eagles, no Devonte Smith for this one.

2460
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:34,400
Speaker 3: Rams tied for ninth and turnover differential. Kyron Williams averaging

2461
01:52:34,640 --> 01:52:37,320
Speaker 3: about three point nine yards of carry seventy five yards

2462
01:52:37,360 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 3: a game. Matthew Stafford still a top ten passer, averaging

2463
01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:44,080
Speaker 3: two fifty six a game, just thirteen touchdowns against seven picks,

2464
01:52:44,520 --> 01:52:47,439
Speaker 3: but as healthy as they've been. For Philadelphia, it's been

2465
01:52:47,479 --> 01:52:49,960
Speaker 3: the Saquon Barkley show, not only in what he's doing

2466
01:52:50,000 --> 01:52:52,439
Speaker 3: with Philly, but hey, let's get his comments on everything

2467
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:55,920
Speaker 3: going on with the Giants say. It's all good things

2468
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,960
Speaker 3: for Saquon Barkley, making him look like well, the wizard.

2469
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:02,479
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts sixteenth in terms of yardage, a twelve and

2470
01:53:02,640 --> 01:53:06,360
Speaker 3: five touchdown interception, but as we know, the brotherly shove

2471
01:53:06,960 --> 01:53:09,559
Speaker 3: gets you overtime. And again, no matter what Nick Sirian

2472
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:12,439
Speaker 3: he does, people will want him fired based on late

2473
01:53:12,560 --> 01:53:17,240
Speaker 3: game coaching decisions and all of those things. Rams winners

2474
01:53:17,320 --> 01:53:20,200
Speaker 3: of four of their last five. I'm starting one and four.

2475
01:53:20,320 --> 01:53:24,200
Speaker 3: Andy Furman with your reaction there, let's let's get it started.

2476
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:26,000
Speaker 2: This is gonna be an easy one. But it's basically,

2477
01:53:26,200 --> 01:53:29,040
Speaker 2: the Eaves are just a better team. Okay, the Rams offense,

2478
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:30,280
Speaker 2: you don't know what you're gonna get for a week,

2479
01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:32,400
Speaker 2: two week. A lot of injuries right there, and I'm

2480
01:53:32,840 --> 01:53:34,960
Speaker 2: the surprise on this game, really a true I love

2481
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:37,120
Speaker 2: Saquon buk the number one. I think he's gonna kill

2482
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 2: him today. But the surprise is that the Eagles only

2483
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:41,439
Speaker 2: a minus three I think is even more than that.

2484
01:53:41,680 --> 01:53:44,559
Speaker 2: I really believe that. And my question to both of you, gentlemen,

2485
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:46,479
Speaker 2: I mean kind of a little off base, but the

2486
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,040
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford is he a Hall of Famer? I just

2487
01:53:49,120 --> 01:53:51,240
Speaker 2: wonder about that. Will he be a Hall of Famer.

2488
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:52,800
Speaker 3: As soon as he got that Super Bowl? Right? Bucky?

2489
01:53:55,160 --> 01:53:56,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, Matthew Stafford is all of it.

2490
01:53:56,600 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 3: That's like ninety seven thousand regular.

2491
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:01,519
Speaker 2: Great stats and did in Detroit on a bad team.

2492
01:54:01,560 --> 01:54:04,480
Speaker 4: I know that, Yeah, Greas, But now he's moved to Hollywood,

2493
01:54:04,680 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 4: and so it'd be easy to romanticize the story. You know,

2494
01:54:08,680 --> 01:54:11,080
Speaker 4: he wrote John Wayne com saves today, he takes to

2495
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:13,839
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, all of those things.

2496
01:54:15,760 --> 01:54:19,760
Speaker 3: Win well. And I know Aaron Rodgers, you know his name,

2497
01:54:19,880 --> 01:54:22,400
Speaker 3: and bringing him up. It's kind of like voldemorton the

2498
01:54:22,439 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 3: Harry Potter series. Folks react different ways, but he was

2499
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:29,240
Speaker 3: one of those guys. And I used to argue this,

2500
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:32,240
Speaker 3: and maybe Bucky, maybe I'm going a little bridge too

2501
01:54:32,280 --> 01:54:35,720
Speaker 3: far here, but Stafford always seemed like the quarterbacks quarterback

2502
01:54:36,320 --> 01:54:38,600
Speaker 3: and that he was a victim of circumstance to a degree.

2503
01:54:38,640 --> 01:54:40,280
Speaker 3: Now I'm not saying he didn't have his share of

2504
01:54:40,600 --> 01:54:42,960
Speaker 3: putting the ball in harm's way and such as a

2505
01:54:43,040 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 3: member of the Detroit Lions, but you're also trying to

2506
01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:50,360
Speaker 3: overcome circumstance and sometimes roster deficiencies to that end. But

2507
01:54:50,840 --> 01:54:53,280
Speaker 3: he always just seemed like a guy that had more

2508
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:55,320
Speaker 3: love within the league than outside.

2509
01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 4: I agree, And I think about the tough season that

2510
01:55:00,040 --> 01:55:03,200
Speaker 4: he had in Detroit that was like an MVP campaign.

2511
01:55:03,760 --> 01:55:05,160
Speaker 4: I may have had like a bunch of you remember

2512
01:55:05,200 --> 01:55:07,120
Speaker 4: he had. He was He had a knack for coming

2513
01:55:07,160 --> 01:55:09,520
Speaker 4: back in the fourth court. That was his thing, and

2514
01:55:09,640 --> 01:55:12,520
Speaker 4: so I think he has that going for him. He's

2515
01:55:12,960 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 4: kind of like known as an ultimate tough guy. All

2516
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 4: that stuff plays well, it creates a nice story.

2517
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:20,120
Speaker 3: Did you guys already have the Eli Manning argument today?

2518
01:55:20,520 --> 01:55:22,080
Speaker 4: We have not. But he's going into the Hall of

2519
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:23,000
Speaker 4: Fame whether we like it or no.

2520
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:24,560
Speaker 2: That's a super Bowl ring he's got to go in.

2521
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:26,880
Speaker 3: I mean, and you could say he won both of

2522
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:28,560
Speaker 3: his bucket as opposed to his brother.

2523
01:55:29,040 --> 01:55:31,480
Speaker 4: Yeah he did, because the other guy got carried.

2524
01:55:31,720 --> 01:55:31,880
Speaker 2: You know.

2525
01:55:32,160 --> 01:55:33,800
Speaker 3: I'm just saying, like, if we're gonna if we're gonna

2526
01:55:33,840 --> 01:55:35,840
Speaker 3: play all those games that we normally do in terms

2527
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:38,000
Speaker 3: of what rings mean, because right now. I keep telling

2528
01:55:38,080 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 3: everybody keeps telling me Peyton, Tomlin and McCarthy they're all

2529
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:44,520
Speaker 3: guys with rings. Yet now you know, so they're untouchable.

2530
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:47,240
Speaker 3: Yet Eli's got his two that he went and won,

2531
01:55:47,880 --> 01:55:49,000
Speaker 3: you know, against Tom Brady.

2532
01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 2: You know, you bring up a great point because in

2533
01:55:51,040 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 2: the National Football that you go to the Super Bowl,

2534
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:54,160
Speaker 2: you get a ring, you go in your quarterback, you

2535
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 2: going through the Hall of Fame. In basketball is Charles

2536
01:55:57,040 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 2: Barkley never got a ring, but he's considered one of

2537
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:01,960
Speaker 2: the greatest players top seventy five right of all time,

2538
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:03,880
Speaker 2: and he's in the Hall of Fame. I mean, so

2539
01:56:03,920 --> 01:56:06,200
Speaker 2: it's a lot different. I say, it's a better vote

2540
01:56:06,480 --> 01:56:10,080
Speaker 2: I think in the NBA than the NFL. NFL play quarterback.

2541
01:56:10,400 --> 01:56:12,320
Speaker 2: You know, win a win the Super Bowl, you're in

2542
01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:14,200
Speaker 2: the Hall of Fame. Boom. That's a ticket.

2543
01:56:14,360 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 4: I mean, it is kind of the ticket. We love quarterbacks,

2544
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:18,720
Speaker 4: so we give them all the credit for everything.

2545
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:21,400
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, I like, look, you said the MVP is

2546
01:56:21,440 --> 01:56:23,240
Speaker 2: going to be the who's the best quarterback? That's that's

2547
01:56:23,240 --> 01:56:25,160
Speaker 2: the MVP trophy, right, isn't it.

2548
01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:26,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, all the.

2549
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 3: Time you get him, you can get a what's the

2550
01:56:31,000 --> 01:56:34,080
Speaker 3: other one. It's kind of like the NCAA tournament MP.

2551
01:56:34,840 --> 01:56:36,360
Speaker 3: That's kind of what you get. Hey, here's your best

2552
01:56:36,400 --> 01:56:39,240
Speaker 3: offensive player. Why is it the MVP. He's not a quarterback.

2553
01:56:39,360 --> 01:56:41,480
Speaker 2: Now I say, say, Kwont Barckley should be the MVP.

2554
01:56:41,840 --> 01:56:44,240
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't disagree at all. I'm one hundred

2555
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:45,160
Speaker 3: percent on board.

2556
01:56:45,080 --> 01:56:45,360
Speaker 2: Thank you.

2557
01:56:45,480 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm okay with that.

2558
01:56:47,720 --> 01:56:49,000
Speaker 3: It's a good up speech. There.

2559
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 2: No, you'll get it.

2560
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:52,640
Speaker 3: There's those chance he's actually pretty long odds. I want

2561
01:56:52,680 --> 01:56:54,400
Speaker 3: to say he was like twelve. The last look at

2562
01:56:54,400 --> 01:56:57,680
Speaker 3: the offensive player would probably here you go, which doesn't

2563
01:56:57,720 --> 01:57:01,480
Speaker 3: matter because all he cares is that the automatic deposit happens,

2564
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:04,720
Speaker 3: and then folks love him each and every week.

2565
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 2: All right, let's go to our last.

2566
01:57:06,560 --> 01:57:09,000
Speaker 1: Game, Ravens at Charge.

2567
01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:12,480
Speaker 3: Oh, now we're talking fellas as we go Monday, Monday,

2568
01:57:12,680 --> 01:57:15,680
Speaker 3: Monday Night Football. Ravens a two and a half point

2569
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:19,040
Speaker 3: road favorite. Fifty and a half is your total in

2570
01:57:19,120 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 3: this one for the Ravens. You're looking at Derek Henry

2571
01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 3: thirteen touchdowns averaging one hundred and eight yards per game.

2572
01:57:24,800 --> 01:57:28,280
Speaker 3: Lamar trying to show everybody two sixty two a game,

2573
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:32,320
Speaker 3: twenty five touchdowns three picks, Justin Herbert thirteen touchdowns, just

2574
01:57:32,400 --> 01:57:35,880
Speaker 3: one interception. In the love Fest with Jim Harbaugh and JK.

2575
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:40,040
Speaker 3: Dobbins says, this time it's personal. What's hey you, Bucky Brooks.

2576
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,160
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the charge. I think this comes

2577
01:57:44,200 --> 01:57:46,840
Speaker 4: down to defense to charge his defenses. Looks it's a

2578
01:57:46,880 --> 01:57:49,040
Speaker 4: better unit than the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens have

2579
01:57:49,120 --> 01:57:52,360
Speaker 4: been inconsistent, though I love the fireworks from Lamar Jackson

2580
01:57:52,400 --> 01:57:56,080
Speaker 4: and company. Defense, Ultimately, the size is Jesse Mentor and

2581
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 4: his crew. They find a way to get it done

2582
01:57:58,200 --> 01:57:58,840
Speaker 4: and give me a charge.

2583
01:57:59,000 --> 01:57:59,160
Speaker 6: You know.

2584
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:01,080
Speaker 2: The funny thing is if you look at the four

2585
01:58:01,160 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 2: losses of the Baltimore Ravens, every one of those losses,

2586
01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:06,120
Speaker 2: Dereck Henry was no where to be found either. He

2587
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 2: didn't get enough carries. Whoever it may be, maybe defense

2588
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:10,920
Speaker 2: stopped him. And I think and Bucky breaks a great point.

2589
01:58:10,960 --> 01:58:13,640
Speaker 2: The charges key is that defense, the defense. If they

2590
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:15,400
Speaker 2: limit Dereck Henry, they're gonna win this game. And I

2591
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:18,160
Speaker 2: think they will win the game. Brotherly love, the brotherly

2592
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:19,120
Speaker 2: love story right.

2593
01:58:19,080 --> 01:58:22,200
Speaker 3: The yeah, third meeting and it's on their parents' anniversary

2594
01:58:22,440 --> 01:58:25,600
Speaker 3: they're fighting for their parents' love on their anniversary. I

2595
01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:27,640
Speaker 3: love it. How great is that? Maybe it'll end up

2596
01:58:27,640 --> 01:58:30,880
Speaker 3: in a wrestling match. All said about Chargers first in

2597
01:58:31,040 --> 01:58:34,320
Speaker 3: total defense, giving up just fourteen and a half points

2598
01:58:34,560 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 3: per game. Gentlemen for Andy Furman and Bucky Brooks on

2599

2614
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:26,760

Speaker 3: you begin the great debates. I heard you and Andy

2638
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:38,160
Speaker 3: as I was driving in a little bit earlier, Bucky,

2639
02:00:38,680 --> 02:00:41,240
Speaker 3: So we call it back because the audience always changing,

2640

Speaker 3: eighty three. Of course the iHeartRadio app all of that

2642
02:00:47,840 --> 02:00:50,080
Speaker 3: to say Fox Sports Radio dot com where you can

2643
02:00:50,120 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 3: get it as well, talking about some of the behind

2644
02:00:53,600 --> 02:00:59,080
Speaker 3: the scenes and off season factors that bring us into

2645
02:00:59,200 --> 02:01:03,680
Speaker 3: a year. As we stand here in week twelve, there's

2646
02:01:03,680 --> 02:01:05,760
Speaker 3: still a lot of teams where like, I have no idea.

2647
02:01:06,520 --> 02:01:08,840
Speaker 3: It's a wonderful tapestry. I have no idea how this

2648
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 3: is going to finish because it's been an absolute roller coaster.

2649
02:01:11,840 --> 02:01:14,880
Speaker 3: We were talking about roller coasters off air in the break,

2650
02:01:14,960 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 3: so I'll bring it on here. It's like, you know,

2651
02:01:17,200 --> 02:01:19,840
Speaker 3: the highs, the lows, the dips, the curves, all of

2652
02:01:19,920 --> 02:01:23,320
Speaker 3: those things, trying to find yourself towards week seventeen, Week

2653
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:26,920
Speaker 3: eighteen and playing meaningful football. But you have the off

2654
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 3: season that sets things up, which leads us to conversations

2655
02:01:30,960 --> 02:01:35,240
Speaker 3: about where we're at in San Francisco. The tease is simply,

2656
02:01:35,360 --> 02:01:38,520
Speaker 3: this are they boarding things up? In San Francisco.

2657
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think the Super Bowl hangover is real, and

2658
02:01:44,000 --> 02:01:48,320
Speaker 4: we might have underestimated how much of the emotional toll

2659
02:01:48,600 --> 02:01:51,120
Speaker 4: was going to bounce back on this team. They just

2660
02:01:51,240 --> 02:01:53,400
Speaker 4: haven't been the same all year. First, you had the

2661
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 4: off season contract disputes stuff in the summer, Brandon Aiyuk

2662
02:01:57,840 --> 02:02:00,280
Speaker 4: and his pouting in those things. He then saw is

2663
02:02:00,280 --> 02:02:03,320
Speaker 4: an injury that robs them of one of the arguably

2664
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:05,840
Speaker 4: their best route runner on the team. And then it's

2665
02:02:05,920 --> 02:02:08,920
Speaker 4: just been like a series of injuries that have kept

2666
02:02:08,960 --> 02:02:12,480
Speaker 4: this team from getting into a groove, into a rhythm.

2667
02:02:12,640 --> 02:02:15,160
Speaker 4: Christ McCaffrey didn't play for a long time. He's back,

2668
02:02:15,320 --> 02:02:17,720
Speaker 4: but he's still you know, and so there's just been

2669
02:02:17,800 --> 02:02:21,640
Speaker 4: this disjointed squad and here we are in the stretch

2670
02:02:21,720 --> 02:02:23,960
Speaker 4: run and we still don't know who the Niners really

2671
02:02:24,000 --> 02:02:27,200
Speaker 4: are because they're not playing to their identity today. They

2672
02:02:27,280 --> 02:02:30,160
Speaker 4: have to play with Allen, they don't have Rock pretty available.

2673
02:02:30,840 --> 02:02:33,400
Speaker 4: It's always something with this team, and so for this year,

2674
02:02:33,880 --> 02:02:35,400
Speaker 4: I don't know if they can get back on track

2675
02:02:35,440 --> 02:02:36,040
Speaker 4: and make it happen.

2676
02:02:36,360 --> 02:02:39,840
Speaker 3: Because in the NFC legitimately, I mean, because we always

2677
02:02:39,880 --> 02:02:42,080
Speaker 3: have questions about the Eagles and We joked about it

2678
02:02:42,120 --> 02:02:44,640
Speaker 3: a little as we picked the game for Sunday Night Football.

2679
02:02:44,960 --> 02:02:47,720
Speaker 3: I think I lean a little more Rams in terms

2680
02:02:47,800 --> 02:02:50,120
Speaker 3: of button down the devil in the details and where

2681
02:02:50,120 --> 02:02:53,840
Speaker 3: they're at health wise and getting things righted at this point.

2682
02:02:54,440 --> 02:02:58,440
Speaker 3: But the larger point is we just, at least outside

2683
02:02:58,480 --> 02:03:01,800
Speaker 3: of Detroit's a very large gap to all right, who's

2684
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:05,160
Speaker 3: really number two? Philadelphia is there? By default? They're eight

2685
02:03:05,200 --> 02:03:07,240
Speaker 3: and two. I take nothing away. You beat who's on

2686
02:03:07,360 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 3: the schedule, all of that, but that doesn't mean we

2687
02:03:09,200 --> 02:03:11,840
Speaker 3: still don't have questions when it comes to crunch time,

2688
02:03:11,920 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 3: decision making and final final says right, winners of six straight,

2689
02:03:17,320 --> 02:03:20,320
Speaker 3: but after that it's a muddled mess. Even with Minnesota

2690
02:03:20,360 --> 02:03:23,840
Speaker 3: at eight and two, Sam Darnold the trust factor down

2691
02:03:23,880 --> 02:03:27,000
Speaker 3: the stretch again, I can like a lot of component parts,

2692
02:03:27,280 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 3: but until I get to see it, I'm a disbeliever?

2693
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:33,640
Speaker 3: Is that wrong? Am I going all full Hugh Grant

2694
02:03:33,720 --> 02:03:36,120
Speaker 3: heretic in the movie? Do you go through the believer

2695
02:03:36,400 --> 02:03:37,840
Speaker 3: or or the disbelief?

2696
02:03:43,680 --> 02:03:44,160
Speaker 4: So tough?

2697
02:03:44,400 --> 02:03:44,720
Speaker 3: All right?

2698
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:45,040
Speaker 1: Right?

2699
02:03:45,080 --> 02:03:47,680
Speaker 3: Because then we start getting into Washington and Green Bay?

2700
02:03:48,840 --> 02:03:50,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, right? What they are?

2701
02:03:51,080 --> 02:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Everybody else in the NFC South and then the West

2702
02:03:54,440 --> 02:03:58,280
Speaker 3: is just a muddled mess where there's no greatness. It's

2703
02:03:58,440 --> 02:04:02,080
Speaker 3: just too outlast the others at this point, I.

2704
02:04:02,120 --> 02:04:04,400
Speaker 4: Mean, it really is about who else that's the others?

2705
02:04:04,920 --> 02:04:07,920
Speaker 4: And you know it's funny because when we really look

2706
02:04:08,000 --> 02:04:11,960
Speaker 4: at the landscape in the NFC, Detroit is great. Uh,

2707
02:04:12,800 --> 02:04:15,680
Speaker 4: everybody else? Do these question marks that you have? Right?

2708
02:04:15,880 --> 02:04:18,280
Speaker 4: You talked about Minnesota and Sam Donald? Are you believe

2709
02:04:18,280 --> 02:04:20,840
Speaker 4: in Sam Donald canny? Can he continue to sustain it

2710
02:04:20,960 --> 02:04:23,480
Speaker 4: or will he come back to the mean the defense

2711
02:04:23,600 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 4: is great, but can they do it? Philadelphia? You love

2712
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:29,520
Speaker 4: the team, hate the coach. You think the coach is

2713
02:04:29,520 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 4: gonna trick it off because he just does what he does,

2714
02:04:32,240 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 4: even though first time they've ever been eight and two

2715
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:37,640
Speaker 4: three times in their franchise history and back to and

2716
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:40,720
Speaker 4: back to back to back years. But you just don't

2717
02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:42,920
Speaker 4: feel good about him. And then all the other teams

2718
02:04:42,960 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 4: have some kind of flaw. Washington defenses are quite good.

2719
02:04:46,600 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 4: Have they figured out Jayden Daniels? Atlanta you never know

2720
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,680
Speaker 4: what to make of them. That that that South Division

2721
02:04:52,880 --> 02:04:55,840
Speaker 4: is a mess. It's like just like vomit, just throw

2722
02:04:55,880 --> 02:05:00,200
Speaker 4: it up on the wall. Yeah, yeah, it's different, Like

2723
02:05:00,280 --> 02:05:04,080
Speaker 4: it's just such a hard race to handicap because you

2724
02:05:04,120 --> 02:05:07,400
Speaker 4: don't feel great about anybody outside of the Detroit line.

2725
02:05:07,440 --> 02:05:09,320
Speaker 3: Because even in the AFC, we get back into the

2726
02:05:09,360 --> 02:05:12,560
Speaker 3: same type of discussion. Right, Pittsburgh loses one in the

2727
02:05:12,640 --> 02:05:15,600
Speaker 3: snow and people can try to dismiss it, but in

2728
02:05:15,720 --> 02:05:19,200
Speaker 3: the end, Cleveland came and got that game. Right, Pittsburgh

2729
02:05:19,320 --> 02:05:22,040
Speaker 3: wasn't effective running the football. Russell Wilson had a great

2730
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 3: completion percentage, but beyond that, the eye tests, they were

2731
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:29,600
Speaker 3: issues there and we can always do thee Well Pickens

2732
02:05:29,640 --> 02:05:31,240
Speaker 3: got interfered with here. I still don't know what he

2733
02:05:31,320 --> 02:05:33,240
Speaker 3: was doing to Greg Newsom on that final play, but

2734
02:05:33,360 --> 02:05:35,320
Speaker 3: that's a whole other well, he's got him in a

2735
02:05:35,400 --> 02:05:38,600
Speaker 3: headlock and runs him into the wall, but while outside

2736
02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 3: of the play on a hail Mary attempt. But all

2737
02:05:41,160 --> 02:05:43,160
Speaker 3: of that to say, you know, they're eight and three

2738
02:05:43,200 --> 02:05:45,480
Speaker 3: and it's a fun story, but do you trust him?

2739
02:05:45,760 --> 02:05:47,880
Speaker 3: I mean, with Mike Tomlin, that Super Bowl is a

2740
02:05:47,920 --> 02:05:51,200
Speaker 3: long time in the rear view mirror, Buffalo eight and

2741
02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:53,720
Speaker 3: two point differentials, at one hundred and six winners of

2742
02:05:53,800 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 3: six straight, they seem like they've gotten it. And I wonder, Bucky,

2743
02:05:57,320 --> 02:05:59,840
Speaker 3: and I ask you this specifically about them, the josh,

2744
02:06:00,600 --> 02:06:02,600
Speaker 3: you know, I don't have to run it as I

2745
02:06:02,720 --> 02:06:06,080
Speaker 3: used to the old Toby Keith line, the late Toby Keith.

2746
02:06:06,200 --> 02:06:07,880
Speaker 3: I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm

2747
02:06:07,880 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 3: as good once as I ever was. Where you pull

2748
02:06:10,160 --> 02:06:12,520
Speaker 3: that out, you know, for special occasions. You know, my

2749
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 3: mom always had this saying I'm gonna save this for good,

2750
02:06:15,320 --> 02:06:17,680
Speaker 3: which meant stuff stayed in the closet and then eventually

2751
02:06:17,800 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 3: got donated instead of actually utilized. But just the idea

2752
02:06:21,320 --> 02:06:22,880
Speaker 3: of all right, we're gonna bring out the good china

2753
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:25,840
Speaker 3: and silverware because company's coming for the holiday. Say it's

2754
02:06:25,880 --> 02:06:29,520
Speaker 3: perfect for this week. But him running the football last

2755
02:06:29,520 --> 02:06:31,920
Speaker 3: week that was out of the norm. And the guy's

2756
02:06:31,960 --> 02:06:35,280
Speaker 3: on countdown to kickoff, that'll follow us here in fifty minutes.

2757
02:06:35,360 --> 02:06:37,480
Speaker 3: They were all over it talking about his over on

2758
02:06:37,600 --> 02:06:40,320
Speaker 3: his rushing attempts was I think seven and a half

2759
02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:43,280
Speaker 3: last week, and in every game against Kansas City he

2760
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:45,800
Speaker 3: had always gone over the top on that, and for

2761
02:06:45,920 --> 02:06:48,120
Speaker 3: them that felt like a much bigger game trying to

2762
02:06:48,240 --> 02:06:53,520
Speaker 3: chase down KC. Not to you know, dismiss home field advantages.

2763
02:06:53,600 --> 02:06:57,360
Speaker 3: So many Will's cavalierly Buffalo is actually a much different

2764
02:06:57,400 --> 02:06:58,840
Speaker 3: place to play if you can get him on your

2765
02:06:58,880 --> 02:07:01,800
Speaker 3: home surface. And it's a much different year for Kansas City.

2766
02:07:03,720 --> 02:07:06,200
Speaker 4: It is a very different year. And one of the

2767
02:07:06,240 --> 02:07:08,480
Speaker 4: things that the Kansi Chiefs had done up until last year,

2768
02:07:08,520 --> 02:07:10,360
Speaker 4: they'd played all their games at home. I think Patrick

2769
02:07:10,440 --> 02:07:13,600
Speaker 4: Mahomes had played all of his postseason games in the

2770
02:07:13,720 --> 02:07:17,440
Speaker 4: confines of Arawhead Stadium. The thing about the Buffalo Bills

2771
02:07:17,520 --> 02:07:20,840
Speaker 4: is the Buffalo Bills have had home field advantages before

2772
02:07:20,960 --> 02:07:23,240
Speaker 4: in the postseason and have been able to get it done.

2773
02:07:23,600 --> 02:07:26,480
Speaker 4: The thing that's different about this team. One, I can

2774
02:07:26,520 --> 02:07:28,800
Speaker 4: talk about the chemistry and the connectivity. You can't deny.

2775
02:07:29,080 --> 02:07:31,320
Speaker 4: They can talk all they want about, Oh, there was

2776
02:07:31,360 --> 02:07:34,320
Speaker 4: nothing wrong with Stefan Diggs. You can tell that there

2777
02:07:34,440 --> 02:07:38,160
Speaker 4: was something that troubled them about Stefan Diggs being in

2778
02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,920
Speaker 4: the building. Two, I would say that the offense is

2779
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:43,440
Speaker 4: more balanced, is more diverse. Joe Brady's done a really

2780
02:07:43,480 --> 02:07:46,080
Speaker 4: good job of incorporating the run in the past, but

2781
02:07:46,600 --> 02:07:49,720
Speaker 4: making sure that they may not have a number one receiver,

2782
02:07:49,840 --> 02:07:52,760
Speaker 4: but they're able to do it by committee. The defense.

2783
02:07:53,320 --> 02:07:56,960
Speaker 4: The defense is one that look not as dominant in

2784
02:07:57,120 --> 02:08:00,320
Speaker 4: terms of like who's the star player, but collect the lead.

2785
02:08:00,360 --> 02:08:04,600
Speaker 4: They play great team defense. Is this a real well constructed, tough,

2786
02:08:04,760 --> 02:08:09,080
Speaker 4: gritty team. That's it. Postseason games are so much different

2787
02:08:09,120 --> 02:08:12,800
Speaker 4: than regular season games. In the postseason, it's typically about

2788
02:08:12,840 --> 02:08:15,960
Speaker 4: your star power. Do they have enough stars to put

2789
02:08:16,000 --> 02:08:18,920
Speaker 4: them over the top when they need plays to be made?

2790
02:08:19,440 --> 02:08:21,560
Speaker 4: That will be the trick when it comes down to

2791
02:08:21,640 --> 02:08:23,919
Speaker 4: looking at the Buffalo Bills, how far they go into postseason?

2792
02:08:24,040 --> 02:08:27,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it always comes down to for me, the idea

2793
02:08:27,400 --> 02:08:31,960
Speaker 3: of until fifteen's gone and Andy Reid is long just

2794
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:34,640
Speaker 3: eating nuggies and hanging out doing more commercials with fake

2795
02:08:34,680 --> 02:08:39,280
Speaker 3: Andy Reid. I find it hard to go against them

2796
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,400
Speaker 3: when it matters. Right week to week is like, all right, yeah,

2797
02:08:42,400 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 3: they'll lose this game, like last week's all right, they'll

2798
02:08:44,440 --> 02:08:49,160
Speaker 3: lose the Buffalo here. But long term, come January, and

2799
02:08:49,240 --> 02:08:51,800
Speaker 3: this goes to McDermott and most other coaches, are you

2800
02:08:51,920 --> 02:08:55,840
Speaker 3: matching up against these guys when it matters? That is

2801
02:08:56,280 --> 02:08:58,400
Speaker 3: going to be you know, the tail of the tape

2802
02:08:58,440 --> 02:09:02,400
Speaker 3: now obviously missing. Butker changes the equations some for them

2803
02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:05,080
Speaker 3: here for these next couple of weeks, but in the

2804
02:09:05,760 --> 02:09:10,760
Speaker 3: long range, like they don't have any obviously obvious flaws. Right,

2805
02:09:10,840 --> 02:09:14,400
Speaker 3: we talked about Baltimore last hour with Andy. Their defense

2806
02:09:14,520 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 3: is terrible and it becomes the all right, is that

2807
02:09:17,520 --> 02:09:20,000
Speaker 3: offense going to be enough to save you if suddenly

2808
02:09:20,080 --> 02:09:23,440
Speaker 3: you're matching wits and the defense of the opponent is

2809
02:09:23,480 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 3: able to take Derek Henry away? Or or unless we

2810
02:09:27,120 --> 02:09:29,640
Speaker 3: forget last year in the playoffs, how many times did

2811
02:09:29,680 --> 02:09:33,480
Speaker 3: Baltimore run the football? Six? Yeah?

2812
02:09:34,360 --> 02:09:36,720
Speaker 4: Like I'm telling you, man, the playoffs bring about a

2813
02:09:36,840 --> 02:09:40,600
Speaker 4: different They can bring about a different person to pressure.

2814
02:09:40,800 --> 02:09:43,560
Speaker 4: Just changes how people perform and what they do and

2815
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:46,720
Speaker 4: how they go about their business is just a different hustle.

2816
02:09:46,880 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 3: All right, let me ask you this because we talked

2817
02:09:48,920 --> 02:09:53,120
Speaker 3: to a lot of offseason and I know Andy there Cincinnati, Kentucky.

2818
02:09:53,200 --> 02:09:54,920
Speaker 3: He's our guy, and you guys, chop this up a

2819
02:09:54,960 --> 02:09:59,080
Speaker 3: little bit. Jamar Chase, in almost any other week, his

2820
02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:02,960
Speaker 3: post game presser right in front of those reporters would

2821
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:06,200
Speaker 3: have been the lead on everything except for the Jets,

2822
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:09,680
Speaker 3: the Giants, the Bears and everybody will get to coming

2823
02:10:09,720 --> 02:10:11,680
Speaker 3: up in about ten minutes here at Fox Sports Radio.

2824
02:10:11,960 --> 02:10:14,000
Speaker 3: But is he thankful for that? Or is he mad?

2825
02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:16,080
Speaker 9: I don't you know.

2826
02:10:16,880 --> 02:10:21,360
Speaker 4: I think he's mad. One he's mad, and it all

2827
02:10:21,400 --> 02:10:23,560
Speaker 4: stands from the contracy. It all stands from the money, right,

2828
02:10:23,600 --> 02:10:26,360
Speaker 4: he wants his money, didn't get his money, so he's mad.

2829
02:10:26,640 --> 02:10:30,280
Speaker 4: And you know, like children aren't able to do, they

2830
02:10:30,440 --> 02:10:33,480
Speaker 4: throw tantrums and if you don't check them, this is

2831
02:10:33,560 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 4: what you deal.

2832
02:10:34,320 --> 02:10:37,040
Speaker 3: But is he more angry about the offseason at this

2833
02:10:37,160 --> 02:10:39,760
Speaker 3: point or the fact that you and I right now

2834
02:10:39,920 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 3: maybe the only people that have discussed his comments outside

2835
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:43,240
Speaker 3: of Cincinnati.

2836
02:10:44,480 --> 02:10:46,800
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't know if he cares about the comments.

2837
02:10:46,920 --> 02:10:49,360
Speaker 4: I think he's still angry about the offseason stuff. I

2838
02:10:49,480 --> 02:10:51,360
Speaker 4: think all of this is whatever. I think he's at

2839
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 4: the point where I don't he doesn't care about criticism

2840
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:57,200
Speaker 4: or critiques or whatever, because he said other stuff throughout

2841
02:10:57,240 --> 02:11:01,000
Speaker 4: the season that you like, Yeah, Jamorrow, that probably like

2842
02:11:01,680 --> 02:11:04,040
Speaker 4: what you want to say. But he's at that point.

2843
02:11:04,200 --> 02:11:07,880
Speaker 4: And I don't know if Zach Taylor can control them,

2844
02:11:08,560 --> 02:11:10,480
Speaker 4: you know, like that's to think. I don't know if

2845
02:11:10,600 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 4: Zach Taylor can kind of get him under wraps to

2846
02:11:13,320 --> 02:11:16,360
Speaker 4: help him be a part of the team. It seems

2847
02:11:16,400 --> 02:11:20,440
Speaker 4: like they're splintering in so many different ways, whether it's

2848
02:11:20,440 --> 02:11:23,880
Speaker 4: t Higgins, Jamar or whatever, the defense being mad at

2849
02:11:23,960 --> 02:11:27,320
Speaker 4: certain players, and they just don't seem to be like

2850
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:29,240
Speaker 4: in harmony.

2851
02:11:29,120 --> 02:11:31,840
Speaker 3: The heart of the the bloom off the rows and

2852
02:11:31,880 --> 02:11:35,040
Speaker 3: everything else. I remember leaving Sofi Stadium after they lost

2853
02:11:35,080 --> 02:11:37,640
Speaker 3: and gave that game away to the Rams, and how

2854
02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 3: happy all those Bengals fans are. And I bring it

2855
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:42,440
Speaker 3: up every year, everyone like, oh man, we're gonna be back.

2856
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,840
Speaker 3: This is great. We're just getting started. Like no, and

2857
02:11:46,200 --> 02:11:48,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm yelling at fan, like I get it.

2858
02:11:48,520 --> 02:11:51,320
Speaker 3: You had a wonderful experience in Southern California. This is great.

2859
02:11:51,560 --> 02:11:53,320
Speaker 3: This is not how the NFL works.

2860
02:11:55,440 --> 02:11:58,000
Speaker 4: It's so hard to get back. It's so hard to go.

2861
02:11:58,200 --> 02:11:59,680
Speaker 4: So when you get there, you have to win it

2862
02:11:59,720 --> 02:12:02,240
Speaker 4: because there's no guarantee. So many things have to go

2863
02:12:02,440 --> 02:12:05,760
Speaker 4: right for you to win a championship. I mean just

2864
02:12:05,960 --> 02:12:11,360
Speaker 4: so many different things have to go your way. And look,

2865
02:12:11,440 --> 02:12:13,520
Speaker 4: you're right, I do wonder how much does that affect

2866
02:12:13,560 --> 02:12:16,240
Speaker 4: them that they didn't get it done. And look, it

2867
02:12:16,320 --> 02:12:17,960
Speaker 4: hasn't been as easy to go back as they may

2868
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:18,680
Speaker 4: have thought it would be.

2869
02:12:19,040 --> 02:12:20,920
Speaker 3: Well because in Division it didn't get any easier. And

2870
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:25,600
Speaker 3: if Cleveland it actually long ago realized Deshaun Watson couldn't

2871
02:12:25,640 --> 02:12:28,560
Speaker 3: play football anymore. They'd be contending it and be a

2872
02:12:28,600 --> 02:12:30,400
Speaker 3: pain in the neck in the division as well, like

2873
02:12:30,480 --> 02:12:33,879
Speaker 3: they were last year. All you needed was functional quarterback

2874
02:12:33,920 --> 02:12:37,080
Speaker 3: play with that roster, and you see it with old JMO.

2875
02:12:37,240 --> 02:12:41,520
Speaker 4: Now yeah, no, no, no, you're right. Like if they

2876
02:12:41,720 --> 02:12:44,520
Speaker 4: just if they just would play the game the right way,

2877
02:12:44,560 --> 02:12:48,240
Speaker 4: you're right, they would, they would have continued to win,

2878
02:12:48,320 --> 02:12:50,760
Speaker 4: they would have been able to continue to do some

2879
02:12:50,840 --> 02:12:53,840
Speaker 4: of the things that you want to see them get done. Yeah,

2880
02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:54,640
Speaker 4: you're right.

2881
02:12:54,880 --> 02:12:57,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's interesting. And then obviously the T Higgins

2882
02:12:57,520 --> 02:13:01,080
Speaker 3: things swirling in the background because whatever guy are fighting

2883
02:13:01,120 --> 02:13:05,560
Speaker 3: about contracts and suddenly missed more games than the original.

2884
02:13:05,640 --> 02:13:07,120
Speaker 3: Hey he should be back in two to three weeks.

2885
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:10,480
Speaker 3: And then it becomes five or more human nature. We

2886
02:13:10,560 --> 02:13:14,880
Speaker 3: all start to wonder, right, never want to question guy's heart.

2887
02:13:15,200 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 3: But we've also been in this game long enough. You've

2888
02:13:17,320 --> 02:13:20,400
Speaker 3: been around it, you know more, far more intimately than

2889
02:13:20,440 --> 02:13:23,640
Speaker 3: I Bucky that the the eyebrow starts looking rock like,

2890
02:13:23,800 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done.

2891
02:13:26,880 --> 02:13:30,760
Speaker 4: The rock can you smell with the rack is cooking?

2892
02:13:30,920 --> 02:13:32,720
Speaker 1: Yes, you know what I mean.

2893
02:13:32,880 --> 02:13:36,480
Speaker 3: Like skepticism runs a buck right. Skeptical of the spectacle

2894
02:13:36,640 --> 02:13:39,440
Speaker 3: was the tagline we use for Tyson Paul. We do

2895
02:13:39,560 --> 02:13:42,760
Speaker 3: it oftentimes with the National Football League as well.

2896
02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:45,240
Speaker 4: We didn't, we didn't talk about it quickly. Yeah, hey,

2897
02:13:45,280 --> 02:13:46,760
Speaker 4: did you think about that whole debacle?

2898
02:13:46,920 --> 02:13:51,360
Speaker 3: It was exactly what I anticipated it was. Yeah. The

2899
02:13:51,640 --> 02:13:54,360
Speaker 3: only way we would have gotten something spectacular is if

2900
02:13:55,160 --> 02:13:57,920
Speaker 3: you know the accidental punch, and Tyson did get him

2901
02:13:57,960 --> 02:14:00,880
Speaker 3: on like one of the eighteen punches he landed. He

2902
02:14:00,960 --> 02:14:03,360
Speaker 3: did get him on the chin pretty good once. But

2903
02:14:03,520 --> 02:14:05,440
Speaker 3: that was it, right. Otherwise, a lot of hugging, a

2904
02:14:05,480 --> 02:14:06,240
Speaker 3: lot of dancing and.

2905
02:14:06,320 --> 02:14:08,280
Speaker 4: A lot of hugging, a lot of holding back. Like

2906
02:14:08,360 --> 02:14:10,160
Speaker 4: it's funny watching the replays where you could see the

2907
02:14:10,320 --> 02:14:13,480
Speaker 4: natural opening for him to throw and he's like, no, no,

2908
02:14:14,000 --> 02:14:15,920
Speaker 4: I'm not going to throw. Then he got the five

2909
02:14:15,960 --> 02:14:18,960
Speaker 4: million dollar bonus, so you just kind of wonder, like, no.

2910
02:14:19,080 --> 02:14:22,640
Speaker 3: It's it right. The overhit was five and a half rounds.

2911
02:14:23,480 --> 02:14:26,520
Speaker 3: Whatever you believe in terms of numbers of people that

2912
02:14:26,680 --> 02:14:30,160
Speaker 3: came to the table, right, they said sixty million plus

2913
02:14:30,280 --> 02:14:33,680
Speaker 3: live over one hundred million total. I mean it's fun

2914
02:14:33,760 --> 02:14:37,120
Speaker 3: with numbers, right, it's you know, accounting fuzzy math. We

2915
02:14:37,400 --> 02:14:39,600
Speaker 3: can play games with that all we want. How many

2916
02:14:39,640 --> 02:14:41,720
Speaker 3: people didn't have it on Netflix but they found some

2917
02:14:41,880 --> 02:14:44,080
Speaker 3: random stream that may or may not have been counted.

2918
02:14:44,120 --> 02:14:47,840
Speaker 3: All of those kind of things. But the women's fight

2919
02:14:48,040 --> 02:14:51,720
Speaker 3: was good. The undercard was pretty solid. We was funny.

2920
02:14:51,760 --> 02:14:54,920
Speaker 3: I was on air in the studio. Carrie Rhodes was

2921
02:14:54,960 --> 02:14:56,680
Speaker 3: in with me, and we had it up on my

2922
02:14:56,800 --> 02:14:59,840
Speaker 3: laptop because we didn't have a streaming TV available to

2923
02:15:00,080 --> 02:15:03,720
Speaker 3: me in studio. Right, we have one that doesn't mirror properly.

2924
02:15:03,800 --> 02:15:05,440
Speaker 3: We're working on that, but either way, So I have

2925
02:15:05,520 --> 02:15:07,360
Speaker 3: my iPad up and they're doing the tail of the tape,

2926
02:15:07,920 --> 02:15:10,360
Speaker 3: and because we don't have sound, we're on air and

2927
02:15:10,760 --> 02:15:13,080
Speaker 3: talking it up and whatever. I didn't know that we

2928
02:15:13,160 --> 02:15:17,000
Speaker 3: missed two plus rounds. I thought they were just filibustering

2929
02:15:17,120 --> 02:15:20,360
Speaker 3: until the entrance to the ring. So we hit a

2930
02:15:20,400 --> 02:15:23,120
Speaker 3: commercial break and we go in. It's like, ah, all right,

2931
02:15:23,160 --> 02:15:25,320
Speaker 3: and we're gonna get it started. They're like, dude's round three,

2932
02:15:26,240 --> 02:15:30,000
Speaker 3: Like all right, then let's take this moment to go

2933
02:15:30,160 --> 02:15:32,080
Speaker 3: back and watch those four plus minutes.

2934
02:15:33,400 --> 02:15:34,120
Speaker 4: That's funny.

2935
02:15:34,320 --> 02:15:35,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was pretty entertaining, man.

2936
02:15:35,960 --> 02:15:38,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, but people paid, they panned a lot

2937
02:15:39,000 --> 02:15:39,320
Speaker 4: of money.

2938
02:15:39,400 --> 02:15:42,360
Speaker 3: So yeah, but I mean they filled an arena, right,

2939
02:15:42,520 --> 02:15:46,760
Speaker 3: seventy thousand or however many showed up, how many paid guests.

2940
02:15:46,920 --> 02:15:48,960
Speaker 3: Right as you looked around to all the celebrity and

2941
02:15:49,040 --> 02:15:55,240
Speaker 3: all but folks already subscribed to Netflix. The thing you

2942
02:15:55,320 --> 02:15:57,360
Speaker 3: gave up was your time. And I can understand maybe

2943
02:15:57,400 --> 02:15:59,880
Speaker 3: you were salty and you were waiting for, you know,

2944
02:16:00,040 --> 02:16:03,400
Speaker 3: eighties level Mike Tyson to show up. But I mean

2945
02:16:03,440 --> 02:16:05,200
Speaker 3: that becomes a you problem. If you thought that was

2946
02:16:05,240 --> 02:16:07,440
Speaker 3: gonna happen, you could hope about for it. I'm not

2947
02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:09,920
Speaker 3: saying I wasn't that all of a sudden, I get

2948
02:16:09,960 --> 02:16:13,600
Speaker 3: a thirty second barrage of chaos. But I knew that

2949
02:16:13,760 --> 02:16:16,800
Speaker 3: was a long shot. Over under was five and a

2950
02:16:16,800 --> 02:16:20,440
Speaker 3: half rounds. Again, easy score if you took it that way.

2951
02:16:20,600 --> 02:16:23,280
Speaker 3: He's Bucky Brooks, Umike Carmon Here, it's Fox Football Sunday,

Speaker 3: Ah, the glories of a holiday week, going down memory lane, good, bad, ugly,

2961
02:16:52,959 --> 02:16:55,720
Speaker 3: all of it comes to bear highways and byways of life.

2962
02:16:55,760 --> 02:16:57,600
Speaker 3: We appreciate you giving us a few minutes of your

2963
02:16:57,760 --> 02:17:01,360
Speaker 3: time here Fox Sports Radio early on a Sunday morning,

2964
02:17:01,440 --> 02:17:04,160
Speaker 3: Fox Football Sunday, Mike Carmen alongside Bucky Brooks with you

2965
02:17:04,560 --> 02:17:08,680
Speaker 3: having a blast watching some college replays of last night,

2966
02:17:08,760 --> 02:17:11,240
Speaker 3: some NBA highlights. We've already got some action on the

2967
02:17:11,320 --> 02:17:15,680
Speaker 3: pitch in the EPL and a full slate of NFL ahead, Bucky.

2968
02:17:16,360 --> 02:17:19,160
Speaker 3: But as we get ready for these games, swirling in

2969
02:17:19,240 --> 02:17:25,720
Speaker 3: the background, all these glorious fires floating down in dumpsters

2970
02:17:25,800 --> 02:17:29,959
Speaker 3: and rivers and streams and lakes across our country, particularly

2971
02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:35,000
Speaker 3: in Chicago, where nothing is right with the world, doubling down.

2972
02:17:35,280 --> 02:17:36,920
Speaker 3: Did you need to move them to the right hashmark

2973
02:17:37,000 --> 02:17:39,880
Speaker 3: something harmon yelling, and then Robbie Gold comes forward and

2974
02:17:39,959 --> 02:17:41,720
Speaker 3: then Eber flues. Now we didn't need to do that.

2975
02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:44,880
Speaker 3: I bother, I do the thing. The guy has a routine,

2976
02:17:44,959 --> 02:17:48,440
Speaker 3: you know, because kicking's not routines. Bucky Brooks. It's all

2977
02:17:48,560 --> 02:17:50,400
Speaker 3: haphazard on those kinds of things, right.

2978
02:17:50,560 --> 02:17:52,920
Speaker 4: Just do whatever you gotta do, Like, don't don't worry

2979
02:17:52,959 --> 02:17:57,000
Speaker 4: about trying to be consistent with anything. No stability, no consistency,

2980
02:17:57,320 --> 02:17:59,119
Speaker 4: just everything haphazard.

2981
02:17:59,240 --> 02:18:03,480
Speaker 3: That's a great metaphour for Chicago football. Right now. We've

2982
02:18:03,480 --> 02:18:06,320
Speaker 3: got the Jets, we'll table them for a moment, and

2983
02:18:06,400 --> 02:18:09,400
Speaker 3: the Aaron Rodgers. How hurt is he is he going

2984
02:18:09,440 --> 02:18:12,080
Speaker 3: to I Are? Is he gonna leave? Is he gonna

2985
02:18:12,080 --> 02:18:15,160
Speaker 3: go to the Vikings? And being their next quarterback? Fully

2986
02:18:16,000 --> 02:18:19,280
Speaker 3: completing the I want to be Brett Favre world with

2987
02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:22,760
Speaker 3: the obvious exceptions and different paths and in terms of

2988
02:18:22,840 --> 02:18:25,640
Speaker 3: what they do outside the white lines. But for the

2989
02:18:26,320 --> 02:18:30,000
Speaker 3: New York Football Giants, the week was consumed with Daniel

2990
02:18:30,120 --> 02:18:33,080
Speaker 3: Jones isms, something Smith and I had talked about a

2991
02:18:33,120 --> 02:18:35,600
Speaker 3: long time ago, You and I as well, talking about

2992
02:18:35,600 --> 02:18:38,440
Speaker 3: that injury guarantee that was sitting out there and when

2993
02:18:38,520 --> 02:18:43,040
Speaker 3: operations shut down would commence all of that culminating in

2994
02:18:43,200 --> 02:18:46,520
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones. He's finally getting his release, finally going to

2995
02:18:46,600 --> 02:18:50,120
Speaker 3: clear waivers, and we're seeing all playoff condemned, Like he

2996
02:18:50,240 --> 02:18:52,200
Speaker 3: wants to go to a playoff contender, and it looks

2997
02:18:52,280 --> 02:18:55,960
Speaker 3: like there's more than more than a few that'll be

2998
02:18:56,080 --> 02:18:59,800
Speaker 3: vying for a services of a guy much beligned and

2999
02:19:00,200 --> 02:19:02,280
Speaker 3: decide where you want on the blame pie of the

3000
02:19:02,440 --> 02:19:08,199
Speaker 3: Giants twenty twenty four season, Shane Dable, I'm Daniel Jones maybe,

3001
02:19:08,760 --> 02:19:11,520
Speaker 3: and Tracy's played really well. So some of the Saquon

3002
02:19:11,640 --> 02:19:16,760
Speaker 3: Barkley stuff from a player perspective is lost on me

3003
02:19:16,840 --> 02:19:19,640
Speaker 3: a bit bucky, but certainly his presence and what it

3004
02:19:19,760 --> 02:19:23,560
Speaker 3: spoke to for the larger team building and direction of

3005
02:19:23,680 --> 02:19:26,840
Speaker 3: the squad, that's where it spoke bigger volume to me.

3006
02:19:27,360 --> 02:19:29,480
Speaker 3: And now Daniel Jones is on the out looking for

3007
02:19:29,560 --> 02:19:30,200
Speaker 3: his next game.

3008
02:19:32,000 --> 02:19:35,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's interesting, right. So the Daniel Jones thinks is

3009
02:19:35,240 --> 02:19:36,200
Speaker 4: fascinated one.

3010
02:19:36,560 --> 02:19:36,959
Speaker 1: He was.

3011
02:19:38,640 --> 02:19:41,879
Speaker 4: Hated in the football world because he goes higher than

3012
02:19:41,920 --> 02:19:45,240
Speaker 4: many people expected in their quote unquote mod drafts, and

3013
02:19:45,360 --> 02:19:48,040
Speaker 4: so I felt like he always was trying to fight

3014
02:19:48,120 --> 02:19:52,040
Speaker 4: that perception that he was a reach pick or a

3015
02:19:52,160 --> 02:19:54,200
Speaker 4: bad pick by the Giants. They never should have taken

3016
02:19:54,280 --> 02:19:57,800
Speaker 4: him and those things. Then for the Giants, I can't

3017
02:19:57,800 --> 02:20:01,880
Speaker 4: say that they ever surrounded him with the supporting cast

3018
02:20:02,440 --> 02:20:04,920
Speaker 4: that would allow him to be at his best. So

3019
02:20:05,040 --> 02:20:07,320
Speaker 4: he had, say Kwon Barkley, But for how many years

3020
02:20:07,400 --> 02:20:10,160
Speaker 4: did they go without a true number one wide receiver

3021
02:20:10,720 --> 02:20:12,840
Speaker 4: or a dominant tied end or they had to fix

3022
02:20:12,920 --> 02:20:15,840
Speaker 4: the offensive line. They got a defense up and running,

3023
02:20:16,080 --> 02:20:17,600
Speaker 4: but now you want to manage the game. And when

3024
02:20:17,600 --> 02:20:19,680
Speaker 4: they did that, when Dave Ball came in, he had

3025
02:20:19,760 --> 02:20:22,320
Speaker 4: fifteen touchdowns and only five interceptions, but they won a

3026
02:20:22,400 --> 02:20:24,960
Speaker 4: ton of games. That led to the big contract that

3027
02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:28,080
Speaker 4: everybody hates because you're saying, how could you pay him that?

3028
02:20:28,520 --> 02:20:32,280
Speaker 4: So it was really a slippery slope with him from

3029
02:20:32,360 --> 02:20:35,120
Speaker 4: the time he walked in the building replacing Eli Manning.

3030
02:20:35,440 --> 02:20:38,240
Speaker 4: I can't say that he ever got a true fair

3031
02:20:38,400 --> 02:20:43,119
Speaker 4: shake from the Giants, just because there's so many different

3032
02:20:43,200 --> 02:20:46,119
Speaker 4: things that they needed to address before they could really

3033
02:20:46,200 --> 02:20:48,879
Speaker 4: even look at whether the quarterback was playing well enough

3034
02:20:48,920 --> 02:20:49,680
Speaker 4: to win Bucky.

3035
02:20:49,760 --> 02:20:51,680
Speaker 3: The other thing that came out of it, and certainly

3036
02:20:51,920 --> 02:20:55,480
Speaker 3: this got a lot of run, were some of the

3037
02:20:55,600 --> 02:21:00,600
Speaker 3: commentary in our media circles related to his contract. Everybody

3038
02:21:00,720 --> 02:21:04,240
Speaker 3: fights for that next dollar, right, we can all argue, yeah,

3039
02:21:04,400 --> 02:21:08,080
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones, what's he quote unquote worth? Well, the Giants

3040
02:21:08,160 --> 02:21:10,440
Speaker 3: decided to pay him that money, So you want to

3041
02:21:10,480 --> 02:21:12,640
Speaker 3: make it about the Giants, make it about the Giants,

3042
02:21:12,680 --> 02:21:16,000
Speaker 3: make it about what the quarterback position is. But it's

3043
02:21:16,360 --> 02:21:18,880
Speaker 3: it's his fault that he signed it. What's he gonna say, No,

3044
02:21:18,959 --> 02:21:22,200
Speaker 3: I'm not worth that money. Like all the media folks

3045
02:21:22,280 --> 02:21:25,320
Speaker 3: that started doing their handwringing, and Steven A got caught

3046
02:21:25,360 --> 02:21:28,000
Speaker 3: with his hands in the cookie jar. In terms of

3047
02:21:28,160 --> 02:21:32,560
Speaker 3: reporting on you know, folks allegedly from the Giants organization

3048
02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:38,400
Speaker 3: calling ESPN about commentary that was made whatever and like,

3049
02:21:38,600 --> 02:21:41,240
Speaker 3: makes for great rants and great TV. But you know,

3050
02:21:41,400 --> 02:21:45,039
Speaker 3: the journalism turned into a small j a long time ago.

3051
02:21:45,080 --> 02:21:49,480
Speaker 3: If it's there at all, ernalism, and even then is dubious.

3052
02:21:49,800 --> 02:21:52,920
Speaker 3: But the idea being, you know, Daniel Jones got paid

3053
02:21:53,680 --> 02:21:57,320
Speaker 3: and we're gonna castigate him for getting paid. Or when

3054
02:21:57,360 --> 02:22:01,160
Speaker 3: a guy gets drafted quote too early man, he answers,

3055
02:22:01,200 --> 02:22:02,800
Speaker 3: he goes and puts the hat on and does his

3056
02:22:02,920 --> 02:22:06,040
Speaker 3: best if you can find me, you know, all sorts

3057
02:22:06,080 --> 02:22:09,520
Speaker 3: of data suggesting that all the guy did was sleep

3058
02:22:09,600 --> 02:22:13,160
Speaker 3: through meetings and you know, playing hacky Sack in a

3059
02:22:13,240 --> 02:22:16,640
Speaker 3: hallway instead of in film review, then I'll listen to it.

3060
02:22:16,760 --> 02:22:19,160
Speaker 3: But otherwise I think it's one of the worst things

3061
02:22:19,200 --> 02:22:20,280
Speaker 3: we do as a media.

3062
02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:24,960
Speaker 4: Oh well, I mean yeah, likes the attacking. It is

3063
02:22:25,080 --> 02:22:31,640
Speaker 4: the look twenty twenty vision in hindsight like coming back

3064
02:22:31,720 --> 02:22:33,240
Speaker 4: and being like, well, they shouldn't have paid him whatever.

3065
02:22:33,320 --> 02:22:36,080
Speaker 4: Now they could have taken the hard line stance, the

3066
02:22:36,160 --> 02:22:39,480
Speaker 4: franchise tag and those things to make sure that they

3067
02:22:39,600 --> 02:22:42,520
Speaker 4: protected themselves. But the cost of the quarterback is a

3068
02:22:42,600 --> 02:22:44,920
Speaker 4: toss to the quarterback and coming off of the heels

3069
02:22:44,959 --> 02:22:47,280
Speaker 4: of what he did, took the team to the playoffs,

3070
02:22:47,320 --> 02:22:51,360
Speaker 4: won a playoff game, fifteen touchdowns only five interceptions. Showed

3071
02:22:51,560 --> 02:22:54,320
Speaker 4: mobility in those things Under Brian day Ball, who had

3072
02:22:54,320 --> 02:22:58,720
Speaker 4: had similar success with Josh Allen, I understood why they

3073
02:22:58,800 --> 02:23:02,440
Speaker 4: paid him. The problem is you paid him, and once

3074
02:23:02,440 --> 02:23:05,240
Speaker 4: you paid a quarterback, whatever you pay him now. It's

3075
02:23:05,360 --> 02:23:07,680
Speaker 4: not about changing saying, oh, we need to make him

3076
02:23:07,760 --> 02:23:09,920
Speaker 4: throw it because that's what we're paying him. Is not

3077
02:23:10,120 --> 02:23:12,800
Speaker 4: what we pay him, is what the market bears. How

3078
02:23:12,879 --> 02:23:16,040
Speaker 4: he plays is how we need to support him to

3079
02:23:16,160 --> 02:23:18,800
Speaker 4: let him play at his best. That's where there was

3080
02:23:18,840 --> 02:23:21,720
Speaker 4: a disconnect. They didn't keep Saquon, they didn't have the

3081
02:23:21,840 --> 02:23:24,879
Speaker 4: number one receiver. They moves on the offensive line backfired.

3082
02:23:25,560 --> 02:23:28,120
Speaker 4: Those are the mistakes that really impacted Jones more than

3083
02:23:28,160 --> 02:23:28,720
Speaker 4: anything else.

3084
02:23:28,920 --> 02:23:31,000
Speaker 3: And we obviously have the trickle down effect, right, and

3085
02:23:31,080 --> 02:23:34,240
Speaker 3: what you do cap wise and restrictions, and let's face it,

3086
02:23:35,000 --> 02:23:37,160
Speaker 3: there's a lot of ways around that. See the LA

3087
02:23:37,360 --> 02:23:40,240
Speaker 3: rams and the way they've danced around the cap and

3088
02:23:40,480 --> 02:23:43,120
Speaker 3: shuffled things for years, Right, there's ways to do this,

3089
02:23:43,320 --> 02:23:46,360
Speaker 3: the conversions, the signing bonuses, kicking money down the road,

3090
02:23:46,760 --> 02:23:50,039
Speaker 3: all of those things. But to me, the Jones contract

3091
02:23:51,120 --> 02:23:56,240
Speaker 3: was never I always wondered what the again, assessing what

3092
02:23:56,440 --> 02:23:59,120
Speaker 3: that pie was one hundred percent and his performance is

3093
02:23:59,160 --> 02:24:01,840
Speaker 3: what it was, But to me, it was at least

3094
02:24:01,879 --> 02:24:04,959
Speaker 3: a very large percentage. Bet on what you just said

3095
02:24:05,400 --> 02:24:09,000
Speaker 3: with day Ball in another year together, based on what

3096
02:24:09,120 --> 02:24:11,880
Speaker 3: he'd done with Josh Allen, a guy that many dismissed.

3097
02:24:11,879 --> 02:24:13,680
Speaker 3: We were going down memory lane of folks that have

3098
02:24:13,720 --> 02:24:15,760
Speaker 3: been here. I argued on the air quite a bit

3099
02:24:15,879 --> 02:24:20,360
Speaker 3: on Sundays with former colleagues here at Fox Sports Radio

3100
02:24:20,440 --> 02:24:24,240
Speaker 3: that dismissed Josh Allen as nothing but a running back, right,

3101
02:24:24,360 --> 02:24:26,959
Speaker 3: and Dabell had great success and we see what Josh

3102
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:31,760
Speaker 3: Allen is now, who's to say that, all right, circumstances

3103
02:24:31,800 --> 02:24:34,080
Speaker 3: that Dable couldn't work his magic again. And I think

3104
02:24:34,200 --> 02:24:37,240
Speaker 3: some of the bet with that Giant contract was just that.

3105
02:24:39,000 --> 02:24:41,520
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, and then you know you are betting on

3106
02:24:41,680 --> 02:24:44,000
Speaker 4: that because you can say a lot about Danny Dimes.

3107
02:24:44,320 --> 02:24:46,920
Speaker 4: When he utilized his legs, he was very effective. He's

3108
02:24:46,959 --> 02:24:50,160
Speaker 4: an athletic and mobile quarterback. That's why I'm really intrigued

3109
02:24:50,240 --> 02:24:53,600
Speaker 4: by his decision or his desire to want to go

3110
02:24:53,680 --> 02:24:56,560
Speaker 4: play for a playoff contender. I'm sitting here trying to

3111
02:24:56,600 --> 02:24:58,600
Speaker 4: figure out, well, which playoff contendent does you want to

3112
02:24:58,640 --> 02:24:58,960
Speaker 4: go play?

3113
02:24:59,000 --> 02:24:59,120
Speaker 3: Right?

3114
02:24:59,640 --> 02:25:00,760
Speaker 4: Who is he's looking at? Like?

3115
02:25:00,879 --> 02:25:00,920
Speaker 1: What?

3116
02:25:01,120 --> 02:25:01,160
Speaker 5: What?

3117
02:25:01,400 --> 02:25:02,680
Speaker 4: What teams are we talking about?

3118
02:25:02,800 --> 02:25:03,119
Speaker 3: Daniel?

3119
02:25:03,520 --> 02:25:04,000
Speaker 6: Like what?

3120
02:25:04,360 --> 02:25:07,280
Speaker 4: What? What do you know that we don't know? Because

3121
02:25:07,400 --> 02:25:10,120
Speaker 4: because for him to do that, I means someone has

3122
02:25:10,400 --> 02:25:11,920
Speaker 4: a thing like, hey, man, if you come over here,

3123
02:25:11,959 --> 02:25:13,920
Speaker 4: you'd be great for us, not only as an insurance,

3124
02:25:14,000 --> 02:25:17,360
Speaker 4: but maybe it leads to something else. I can't figure

3125
02:25:17,360 --> 02:25:22,640
Speaker 4: out which contender or playoff contenders to those guys are.

3126
02:25:22,680 --> 02:25:25,120
Speaker 3: Well, because that becomes the interesting question, right, could Shanahan

3127
02:25:25,200 --> 02:25:28,080
Speaker 3: fix him in short order? If brock Berdie's like they're saying,

3128
02:25:28,120 --> 02:25:31,320
Speaker 3: Bertie could be ready next week against Buffalo, But what

3129
02:25:31,360 --> 02:25:32,360
Speaker 3: if that shoulder ain't right.

3130
02:25:33,520 --> 02:25:36,760
Speaker 4: M Yeah, that that's it. That's it. That's a good one.

3131
02:25:37,080 --> 02:25:39,120
Speaker 4: You know when you talk about like they'night as well,

3132
02:25:39,160 --> 02:25:41,800
Speaker 4: wouldn't you want to go play for one of the

3133
02:25:41,879 --> 02:25:44,040
Speaker 4: guys that we say can bless you, right, right, So

3134
02:25:44,160 --> 02:25:47,080
Speaker 4: the guys who can bless you it would be Kyle Shanahan,

3135
02:25:47,840 --> 02:25:51,720
Speaker 4: Sean McVay. I would say Kevin O'Connell.

3136
02:25:51,480 --> 02:25:53,760
Speaker 3: Right, because yeah, that's one of the teams being mentioned

3137
02:25:53,840 --> 02:25:56,360
Speaker 3: right now because they that we've seen, right, because we

3138
02:25:56,440 --> 02:26:00,240
Speaker 3: know McCarthy just had another surgery, right, and and we

3139
02:26:00,360 --> 02:26:00,760
Speaker 3: also know.

3140
02:26:00,959 --> 02:26:02,959
Speaker 4: Green Bay's out of the picture. But that's another place

3141
02:26:03,000 --> 02:26:05,360
Speaker 4: where you can go and be a reclamation project and

3142
02:26:05,520 --> 02:26:09,320
Speaker 4: come back. Prior to Anthony Richison playing his tail off

3143
02:26:09,440 --> 02:26:11,560
Speaker 4: last week, I would have been like the Indianapolis Colts

3144
02:26:11,600 --> 02:26:14,120
Speaker 4: would be a great location for him, Shane Styke and

3145
02:26:14,200 --> 02:26:16,800
Speaker 4: being able to kind of have him in place you

3146
02:26:16,879 --> 02:26:19,840
Speaker 4: don't have Flaco now, Daniel Jones, Danie Jones come and

3147
02:26:19,920 --> 02:26:23,120
Speaker 4: look like, oh you know what, Anthony Richardson ain't so tough.

3148
02:26:23,320 --> 02:26:26,320
Speaker 4: I'll take this competition on. So there are some things

3149
02:26:26,400 --> 02:26:29,440
Speaker 4: that mentioned. The La Rams might be really interesting though,

3150
02:26:29,480 --> 02:26:33,880
Speaker 4: because Matthew Stafford look we're nearing the end and they

3151
02:26:33,920 --> 02:26:37,920
Speaker 4: don't have a plan. They don't have a solid backup

3152
02:26:38,040 --> 02:26:41,840
Speaker 4: plan for what's next, you know, a bridge next year.

3153
02:26:42,440 --> 02:26:43,640
Speaker 4: Maybe he hasn't been in LA.

3154
02:26:43,720 --> 02:26:46,520
Speaker 3: That's why we keep going back to remember when McVeigh

3155
02:26:46,600 --> 02:26:49,600
Speaker 3: was flirting with the media, did he get convinced to

3156
02:26:49,680 --> 02:26:52,400
Speaker 3: come back for whatever the dance was with Matthew Stafford?

3157
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:55,800
Speaker 3: And then we look at a reset again. Contracts are

3158
02:26:55,920 --> 02:26:57,240
Speaker 3: what they are. You can tell me a guy got

3159
02:26:57,280 --> 02:27:00,320
Speaker 3: extended for eight years. He can be shown the door tomorrow,

3160
02:27:00,520 --> 02:27:02,800
Speaker 3: or agree to a buy out if he wants to

3161
02:27:02,840 --> 02:27:05,920
Speaker 3: go do something else right, or just walk away. There's

3162
02:27:05,920 --> 02:27:08,320
Speaker 3: a million things that go on with that. Uh. Chapter

3163
02:27:08,440 --> 02:27:11,760
Speaker 3: reporting a little earlier that the Vikings and Ravens were

3164
02:27:11,840 --> 02:27:15,360
Speaker 3: two of the early contenders for Jones's services.

3165
02:27:16,240 --> 02:27:22,120
Speaker 4: Interesting, Uh, the Ravens, because who's behind Snoop hunt Lee. Yep,

3166
02:27:22,240 --> 02:27:24,400
Speaker 4: So we're saying that Daniel Jones is an upgrade over

3167
02:27:24,480 --> 02:27:26,400
Speaker 4: Snoop punt Ley. You can do some of the things

3168
02:27:26,440 --> 02:27:28,080
Speaker 4: that you want to do, but that's not a long

3169
02:27:28,200 --> 02:27:30,760
Speaker 4: term spot for him. But maybe once they be around

3170
02:27:30,840 --> 02:27:32,640
Speaker 4: winning so he can remember what winning looks.

3171
02:27:32,720 --> 02:27:33,360
Speaker 3: That would be nice.

3172
02:27:33,440 --> 02:27:33,600
Speaker 5: Yeah.

3173
02:27:34,760 --> 02:27:34,880
Speaker 10: Uh.

3174
02:27:35,120 --> 02:27:37,199
Speaker 4: And then who else for the Ravens. You said the Ravens.

3175
02:27:37,280 --> 02:27:38,800
Speaker 3: It was the Ravens and the Vikings were the two

3176
02:27:38,879 --> 02:27:43,240
Speaker 3: that he mentioned. I've seen Detroit mentioned once once or twice. Obviously,

3177
02:27:43,320 --> 02:27:45,880
Speaker 3: they've got questions as to whether they're oc stated.

3178
02:27:45,879 --> 02:27:47,560
Speaker 4: I mean, they don't have the backup like I mean,

3179
02:27:47,600 --> 02:27:51,600
Speaker 4: they've probably handon Hooker and hook You real, if Jerry

3180
02:27:51,640 --> 02:27:54,000
Speaker 4: Golf sprains an ankle, do you want your title hopes

3181
02:27:54,040 --> 02:27:56,160
Speaker 4: to hand on him, you know.

3182
02:27:56,440 --> 02:28:00,800
Speaker 3: And Hooker? I mean that's yeah, that's and Jones is

3183
02:28:00,840 --> 02:28:03,600
Speaker 3: the curiosity going back to his mobility thing for a moment,

3184
02:28:03,720 --> 02:28:05,800
Speaker 3: Let's start thinking about the Ravens, thinking about some of

3185
02:28:05,840 --> 02:28:08,000
Speaker 3: these teams and where you utilize that. You know, the

3186
02:28:08,080 --> 02:28:10,640
Speaker 3: fact that he's had such significant injuries, which I think

3187
02:28:10,640 --> 02:28:14,240
Speaker 3: got discounted as well, Like we go out of our

3188
02:28:14,360 --> 02:28:18,879
Speaker 3: way to really apologize for guys who have come back

3189
02:28:18,920 --> 02:28:21,400
Speaker 3: from injuries. Daniel Jones never got that grace.

3190
02:28:22,959 --> 02:28:26,160

3195
02:28:39,320 --> 02:28:41,160
Speaker 3: That's how folks are still trying to convince me that

3196
02:28:41,280 --> 02:28:43,880
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers can play meaningful football next year. But you

3197
02:28:43,920 --> 02:28:45,400

3204
02:29:02,840 --> 02:29:07,439
Speaker 10: the National Hockey League last Sunday morning. Not exactly expected,

3205
02:29:07,560 --> 02:29:11,080
Speaker 10: but the Saint Louis Blues have just fired head coach

3206
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:15,400
Speaker 10: Drew Banister and hired Jim Montgomery to replace him, just

3207
02:29:15,640 --> 02:29:19,680
Speaker 10: five days after Montgomery was fired by the Boston Bruins.

3208
02:29:19,760 --> 02:29:23,440
Speaker 10: Now two years ago, Montgomery won the NHL's Coach of

3213
02:29:40,640 --> 02:29:43,600
Speaker 10: but a cold blooded move. And one of the replies

3214
02:29:43,640 --> 02:29:48,840

02:33:25,200 --> 02:33:27,720
Speaker 3: with you for another couple of minutes. Here and Bucky,

3281
02:33:27,760 --> 02:33:31,000
Speaker 3: as we look at the slate for today, the Jets

3282
02:33:31,040 --> 02:33:34,280
Speaker 3: are on by one of these six teams, and it

3283
02:33:34,320 --> 02:33:38,000
Speaker 3: couldn't come soon enough, giving everything swirling and all the rumor, conjecture,

3284
02:33:38,040 --> 02:33:43,040
Speaker 3: speculation of power plays, everything else. Believe what you will,

3285
02:33:43,520 --> 02:33:47,880
Speaker 3: you know. Robert Solow or Joe Douglas more appropriately, was

3286
02:33:47,959 --> 02:33:51,160
Speaker 3: relieved to be relieved of his duties and he'd gone fishing.

3287
02:33:51,320 --> 02:33:54,000
Speaker 3: Was one report I saw. I did not spend a

3288
02:33:54,040 --> 02:33:57,000
Speaker 3: lot of time working to corroborate it because, as you

3289
02:33:57,040 --> 02:33:59,160
Speaker 3: would guess with you know Jason Smith, we talk a

3290
02:33:59,200 --> 02:34:01,600
Speaker 3: lot of Jets football. I got him off the rails

3291
02:34:01,600 --> 02:34:03,400
Speaker 3: a few times and got them away from it to

3292
02:34:03,600 --> 02:34:05,960
Speaker 3: try to make him feel better as the week wore on.

3293
02:34:06,840 --> 02:34:09,920
Speaker 3: But where do you think this ends? Like he's is

3294
02:34:09,959 --> 02:34:11,800
Speaker 3: he done after this year? And is he still in

3295
02:34:11,840 --> 02:34:14,480
Speaker 3: the NFL? Or is he done and cooked? And he's

3296
02:34:14,520 --> 02:34:15,240
Speaker 3: a media member?

3297
02:34:16,360 --> 02:34:20,199
Speaker 4: I think he's cooked. I think I think it's done.

3298
02:34:20,360 --> 02:34:23,280
Speaker 4: I don't I don't know why anyone would want to

3299
02:34:23,280 --> 02:34:26,520
Speaker 4: continue to sign up for that product. It hasn't been good.

3300
02:34:27,760 --> 02:34:31,680
Speaker 4: It seems like far more trouble than what is worth. Uh.

3301
02:34:32,440 --> 02:34:36,240
Speaker 4: They've given him everything that he could possibly want, and

3302
02:34:36,320 --> 02:34:38,520
Speaker 4: he hasn't been able to deliver. They're worse now than

3303
02:34:38,560 --> 02:34:43,160
Speaker 4: they were with Zach Wilson, Sam darn Like, why why

3304
02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:44,440
Speaker 4: would you want to run that back?

3305
02:34:44,680 --> 02:34:48,080
Speaker 3: Was that not the greatest graphic of the week? They're

3306
02:34:48,160 --> 02:34:50,680
Speaker 3: little heads above his in terms of winning. I don't know.

3307
02:34:50,760 --> 02:34:53,800
Speaker 3: There was just something funny about it, given the amount

3308
02:34:53,840 --> 02:34:56,720
Speaker 3: of handwringing and angst over those last quarterbacks.

3309
02:34:57,760 --> 02:35:01,400
Speaker 4: I mean yeah, like just how they couldn't wait to

3310
02:35:01,520 --> 02:35:04,959
Speaker 4: move on from you know, they couldn't wait to move

3311
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:07,720
Speaker 4: on from from Zach Wilson. And yet you now have

3312
02:35:07,840 --> 02:35:13,440
Speaker 4: a I guess a worse version at the position, Like

3313
02:35:13,520 --> 02:35:15,600
Speaker 4: you don't have a good quarterback. To me, that is

3314
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:18,640
Speaker 4: the part that's stunning, how bad it has been for

3315
02:35:18,760 --> 02:35:19,400
Speaker 4: him in New York.

3316
02:35:19,520 --> 02:35:22,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't have a you don't have quality play

3317
02:35:22,879 --> 02:35:25,040
Speaker 3: at quarterback, and you get the headaches that go with it.

3318
02:35:26,120 --> 02:35:31,200
Speaker 3: It's one thing bad, it's just so manyling everything else.

3319
02:35:31,280 --> 02:35:36,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, just dealing with so much stuff, you know when

3320
02:35:36,560 --> 02:35:38,720
Speaker 4: it comes to him and all that other stuff. And

3321
02:35:38,800 --> 02:35:40,600
Speaker 4: then a team that was good because remember you fired

3322
02:35:40,640 --> 02:35:42,440
Speaker 4: your coach when they were playing a really good defense,

3323
02:35:42,480 --> 02:35:45,480
Speaker 4: and then the defense has gone to pot with the offense.

3324
02:35:45,560 --> 02:35:49,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mentioned Robert Sala's name. Is he going to

3325
02:35:49,200 --> 02:35:51,960
Speaker 3: be back in San Francisco as the defensive coordinator next year?

3326
02:35:53,560 --> 02:35:55,320
Speaker 4: You know, I wonder where he will end up, Like

3327
02:35:55,400 --> 02:35:58,400
Speaker 4: if they talk about eight to ten coaching changes, he's

3328
02:35:58,440 --> 02:36:00,760
Speaker 4: gonna end up somewhere as a as a defensive coordinator

3329
02:36:00,840 --> 02:36:05,720
Speaker 4: or assistant head coach somewhere in that his experience certainly

3330
02:36:05,760 --> 02:36:11,560
Speaker 4: will be valuable. His defense of know how we'll help somebody. Yeah,

3331
02:36:11,560 --> 02:36:13,280
Speaker 4: he's gonna be on the sideline somewhere. But I mean,

3332
02:36:13,560 --> 02:36:15,120
Speaker 4: it depends how many years did he had left on

3333
02:36:15,200 --> 02:36:15,560
Speaker 4: that deal.

3334
02:36:16,200 --> 02:36:16,800
Speaker 3: That's a good question.

3335
02:36:16,840 --> 02:36:17,680
Speaker 4: Should have worked too hard?

3336
02:36:17,800 --> 02:36:19,600
Speaker 3: He could do a lot of fishing and hanging out.

3337
02:36:20,280 --> 02:36:23,480
Speaker 3: I'm an analyst and I'm just cashing checks while I

3338
02:36:23,560 --> 02:36:25,360
Speaker 3: have to watch a little bit of game film every

3339
02:36:25,400 --> 02:36:28,280
Speaker 3: now and again. That's not bad, and it worked out.

3340
02:36:28,320 --> 02:36:29,959
Speaker 4: He got this chance to hang with his best budd

3341
02:36:30,120 --> 02:36:33,080
Speaker 4: mattla Florida in Green Bay, working on the offensive side

3342
02:36:33,080 --> 02:36:36,200
Speaker 4: of the ball. Maybe he continues to do that in

3343
02:36:36,280 --> 02:36:40,000
Speaker 4: a more official capacity as he continues to try and

3344
02:36:40,080 --> 02:36:42,640
Speaker 4: rehab his image and maybe rebuild his career.

3345
02:36:43,080 --> 02:36:45,039
Speaker 3: There you have it. Let's go to that game, because

3346
02:36:45,080 --> 02:36:48,199
Speaker 3: that's outside of the ones we previewed a little earlier.

3347
02:36:48,240 --> 02:36:53,640
Speaker 3: The NFC West Battle Arizona, Seattle, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Baltimore,

3348
02:36:53,760 --> 02:36:56,520
Speaker 3: Los Angeles. Those are the three headliner games, some also

3349
02:36:56,680 --> 02:36:59,760
Speaker 3: rans and but some potentials for upsets along the way.

3350
02:37:00,200 --> 02:37:04,680
Speaker 3: New England, Miami, maybe Tennessee, Houston. There's potential for chaos there.

3351
02:37:04,920 --> 02:37:07,760
Speaker 3: But San Francisco, Green Bay. Do you have a beat

3352
02:37:07,840 --> 02:37:09,200
Speaker 3: on what Green Bay is right now?

3353
02:37:10,320 --> 02:37:10,360
Speaker 4: No?

3354
02:37:11,120 --> 02:37:14,360
Speaker 3: Okay, good? Sure, I'm not alone five and a half

3355
02:37:14,440 --> 02:37:17,800
Speaker 3: point favorites here against the wounded San Francisco squad forty

3356
02:37:17,800 --> 02:37:20,760
Speaker 3: four and a half the total. Alan undersoner No Purty,

3357
02:37:20,920 --> 02:37:25,000
Speaker 3: no Nick Bosa Ayuk obviously done for the year. All

3358
02:37:25,080 --> 02:37:27,640
Speaker 3: of those things to say, Trent Williams will play right,

3359
02:37:27,879 --> 02:37:30,640
Speaker 3: I guess, But you know, at this point, you know

3360
02:37:30,760 --> 02:37:34,160
Speaker 3: what version of San Francisco were even getting at this point, Buggy.

3361
02:37:34,760 --> 02:37:36,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, no one knows. Like they're not to

3362
02:37:36,720 --> 02:37:39,560
Speaker 4: bully on the block anymore. And that's the biggest surprise

3363
02:37:39,640 --> 02:37:42,160
Speaker 4: because they've always been able to knock people around. They've

3364
02:37:42,160 --> 02:37:46,720
Speaker 4: always been able to be the heavyweight title contender, you know,

3365
02:37:46,840 --> 02:37:48,640
Speaker 4: when it came to how they wanted to mash you,

3366
02:37:48,760 --> 02:37:50,760
Speaker 4: how they wanted to kind of impose their will, they

3367
02:37:50,920 --> 02:37:52,560
Speaker 4: just have not been able to do that. That is

3368
02:37:52,959 --> 02:37:55,480
Speaker 4: probably one of the bigger surprises to me is to

3369
02:37:55,600 --> 02:37:57,720
Speaker 4: see a team that is being able to kind of

3370
02:37:57,760 --> 02:37:59,840
Speaker 4: be the model team when it comes to playing Bully

3371
02:38:00,080 --> 02:38:02,720
Speaker 4: all not being able to impose it will like that.

3372
02:38:02,879 --> 02:38:04,680
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you there's a lot I like about

3373
02:38:04,760 --> 02:38:07,640
Speaker 3: Jorde Love, but if we're gonna be real honest, the

3374
02:38:07,760 --> 02:38:09,520
Speaker 3: man is way too loose with the football.

3375
02:38:09,720 --> 02:38:12,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, very casual, very casual with the ball, and it's

3376
02:38:12,640 --> 02:38:14,880
Speaker 4: gonna be it's hurt though, it's costing me key moments.

3377
02:38:15,120 --> 02:38:17,160
Speaker 3: There you go. It's another one of those great variables

3378
02:38:17,200 --> 02:38:20,440
Speaker 3: were watching as we get ready for the playoffs. Bucky,

3379

3380

Speaker 3: What's the game that's got you this morning?

3381
02:38:24,959 --> 02:38:27,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm just waiting for Monday night, the rest of

3382
02:38:27,160 --> 02:38:28,720
Speaker 4: night for whatever, just waiting Monday night.
