1 00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio, and man, the storylines 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: are bound. Everyone's excited about the New York Jets and 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:11,160 Speaker 1: what is going on. They've been featuring on Hard Knocks 4 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,840 Speaker 1: with Aaron Rodgers and all the Star team today assembling 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: with Dalvin Cook coming on board, Aaron Rodgers teaming up 6 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: with a bunch of his friends and those things. So 7 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,239 Speaker 1: that stuff has been exciting, and then it's been all 8 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: about the young rookie quarterbacks. You have Bryce Young, c J. Stroud, 9 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson, you have Will Levice even making appearances. And 10 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: so we're gonna make sure that we always touch on 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 1: those things because they're front of mine. But I kind 12 00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: of want to start today's show just kind of talking 13 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,320 Speaker 1: about what are we going to do with the San 14 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers and how they're treating Trey Lance. 15 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, the third overall pick in the draft a 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,200 Speaker 1: few years ago, was drafted number three after the forty 17 00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: nine has made look a hefty, hefty trade to put 18 00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: them up a couple number ones moved up in first 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: round to get him. At the time, the thought was 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan needed somebody who could take this offense to 21 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: the next level. Lance was expected to be that somebody 22 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: coming out of North Dakota State. He was a versatile player. 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,760 Speaker 1: He was a guy who had kind of I think 24 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,280 Speaker 1: when I go back and I talk to scouts, there's 25 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: a lot of conversation and comparisons between Trey Lance and 26 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,760 Speaker 1: Donovan McNabb. Donovan McNabb, who was a successful NFL player, 27 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: multiple All Pro Pro Bowl player, led the Eagles to 28 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl appearance, didn't win it, but constantly had 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: the Eagles front of mine as a title contender. The 30 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:40,560 Speaker 1: thought was, you put somebody like that in Kyle Shanahan's offense, 31 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,760 Speaker 1: this offense would explode because you have to remember at 32 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: the time you had Deebo, Samuel Brandon and Iyer could 33 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 1: come on board. You had George Kittle, you had versatile players. 34 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 1: Coyle's you check who could do a bunch of different things. 35 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: And in Kyle Shanahan's scheme where the running game and 36 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: the play action, the boot stretch marriage between the outside 37 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: zone run and the complimentary play action was supposed to 38 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: give people. I mean it gave defenders problems because they 39 00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: stressed them, attacked them in a bunch of different ways. Well, now, 40 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: when you add an athlete like Trade Lance, you now 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,399 Speaker 1: envision them being able to do some of the things 42 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: that Kyl Shanahan did with RG three back in his 43 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: days with Washington. Lance was supposed to give them an 44 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: added dimension in the running game. He was a very 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: efficient and effective passer at North Dakota State, and he 46 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: was a winner. And at the time, you have to remember, 47 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz was still celebrated and viewed as a high 48 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,200 Speaker 1: level player because of the way that he had played 49 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia. Wentz, who also came out of North Dakota State, 50 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 1: and Easton Stick were two guys who would kind of 51 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 1: set the table for Lance to be viewed as a 52 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: high end prospect because North Dakota State had produced guys 53 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: who had played in that system and it had high 54 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: levels of success in the pros, even though it's more 55 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: Wentz than Stick. So anyway, Shanahan makes a move to 56 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: get Lance. Lance comes in and you know, you have 57 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo there, but okay, he'll serve as an apprentice 58 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo one year, then he'll take over. So 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: they kind of followed that. According to Plant, Lance made 60 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: some splash plays in the preseason, and then last year 61 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 1: he was finally, you know, giving an opportunity to play 62 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: and do it. And even in those those brief appearances 63 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: that he made the previous year, he was a little 64 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: slow on the trigger, didn't necessarily fire and release the 65 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: ball on time or on target, and so there were 66 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: some questions about, all right, can he read it, can 67 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: he see it, can he diagnose it? Or is it 68 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: a thing where it's a lack of experience. So then 69 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: last year he has an opportunity to do it. Remember 70 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo throughout training camp was cast off. He's put 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 1: on the far away field where you couldn't see him. 72 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: He wasn't really a part of the team. Well, lanskis hurt. 73 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: So Lanski has hurt. Jimmy G goes back in runs 74 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: the team for a while, and then Jimmy G goes 75 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: to the sideline as usual, and then here comes brock Purdy. 76 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: Brock Purdy runs the system, goes on a remarkable run, 77 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: takes the team to the NFC Championship game, and then 78 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: he gets hurt. So now you have this debate on 79 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 1: who's going to be the QB one in San Francisco. 80 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 1: Are you going to go with the lightly regarded lower 81 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: draft pick brock Purdy, who got high for a small 82 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: sample size, Or are you going to give the guy 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: who's expecting to be your franchise quarterback a legitimate shot 84 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 1: to do it? So adding the mixed Sam Donald. Sam 85 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: Donald's draft not drafted, but Sam Donald signed in the 86 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: off season after bouncing around the league from the Jets 87 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: to the Panthers, former number two overall pick, number three 88 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 1: over a pick. People are wondering, okay, like is he 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: going to be kind of like the surprise to kind 90 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,160 Speaker 1: of back up brock Purdy, Or if brock perty is 91 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 1: unavailable at the start of the season, will Lance and 92 00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,559 Speaker 1: Donald compete to be that filling starter. So I happened 93 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: to go up to San Francisco like a couple of 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 1: weeks ago to kind of see them do their thing. 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: Could you hear so much about like how Trey Lance practices, 96 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: how Sam Donald practices, et cetera. And so the conversation 97 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: about Trey Lance is, man, he just misses some normal 98 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: routine throws things that should be automatic. He just has 99 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 1: a tough time connected on them. Doesn't knock it down, 100 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 1: can't find it out, can't can't figure out what's going on. Yeah, 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: the talent is there and he works hard, So all 102 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: those things are good. The work ethic, the intelligence, all 103 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:35,760 Speaker 1: those things are great, but the instincts appear to be lacking. 104 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: Whereas when you look at Sam Donald, who has played 105 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: a lot, like the ball comes out, it comes out 106 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: on time, it's pretty much on target, and those things. 107 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: When you talk about how Brock pretty paid last year 108 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 1: on time, on target, the system kind of rolle. In 109 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: my mind. I'm always thinking like Kyl Shanahan basically wants 110 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: a joystick at the position. He has the wizardry of 111 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: the play designs and creativity in his mind. He just 112 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 1: needs someone who can go out and just connect the dots. 113 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: Even though you want more in athleticism and running skills 114 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: and those things that Trey Lance can add, you just wonder, 115 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: all right, like do we really need that You've added 116 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey to the mix. You have a big offensive 117 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: line that is talented with Trent Williams leading away Kittle 118 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 1: and you check and we talked about the receivers before. 119 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: Right now, this is an offense that has a supporting 120 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: system that can really, really really make it happen, and 121 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,160 Speaker 1: so we get to it. And we had an opportunity 122 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: to see Trey Lance last week against the Raiders, and 123 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 1: look the numbers deceive you. He had a passer rating 124 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 1: of well over one hundred, and on paper it looked great, 125 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: but when you watched him, he had two step did 126 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 1: but weren't. He didn't fire on time and on target, 127 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: and the offense just sputtered when he was there. So 128 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 1: last night we had an opportunity to see Rob Perdy 129 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: come in, and he came in and did exactly what 130 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 1: he was ale to do. Comes in, goes for sixty 131 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: five yards to scrab him for eight yards, and even 132 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 1: though he was sacked once on a ten play drive, 133 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 1: it still ended up with the field goal. And so 134 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: you just talk about Perdy being able to jump right in, 135 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 1: take the reins of the offense, allowed the surge and go. 136 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 1: It just appears that Brock Perdy's going to the guy. 137 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: And even though we had these reservations and concerns about 138 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: him and the elbow, right now all things appear to 139 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: be like in line for him to be the guy. 140 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: So what do we do with Trade Lance if Trey 141 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: Lance is not going to be the starter and he's 142 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: struggling to maybe win the backup job. What do we 143 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: do with him? Do you, as the forty nine ers, 144 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 1: keep him around, even though you can acknowledge that it 145 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: was a bit of a mistake to maybe take him too, 146 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: Max Jones, you took my head of justin fields and 147 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: those things. I will say that he came in against 148 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: the Broncos late in the game. He rallied the team 149 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: and got the team to kind of finish on the 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 1: winning side of the scoreboard. Had an interception when he 151 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 1: first came in, but to his credit, he came back 152 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 1: and led them to two fourth quarter drives. And so 153 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: I think it's a solid performance for Lance. It's one 154 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 1: that may help him with his confidence. It may help 155 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 1: Shanahan and those guys stick with him in terms of okay, well, 156 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: maybe there's some developmental potential there. It's not exactly how 157 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: we envisioned it. We didn't envision the number three guy 158 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: being the backup, and we didn't envision the seventh round 159 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: guy being the starter. But right now it is what 160 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: it is. From a money perspective, the reason why the 161 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: Niners can't move on from him, they are about ten 162 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 1: million dollars in guaranteed money that Trey Lance is gonna 163 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 1: get with he's on the Niners or not. And so 164 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: when you think about a third your player, a player 165 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: who you invested so much in, do you move off 166 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:11,520 Speaker 1: of that? And after last night, I think he's definitely around. 167 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,839 Speaker 1: I think they to continue to try and work with them. 168 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,479 Speaker 1: You hope that if anything goes awright with Brock Purdy, 169 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: he's good enough and capable of to step in and 170 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: be the player that you wanted to be down the line. 171 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: That fourth quarter situation where he came back, he rather 172 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,760 Speaker 1: than back, he showed some of the things that everybody 173 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:37,320 Speaker 1: wanted to see from him. Now, if you're the forty 174 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,920 Speaker 1: nine ers, you feel great about Brock Purty. You just 175 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 1: kind of have to eat it when it comes to 176 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: the perception that maybe you overdrafted a kid that's not 177 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: necessarily a franchise player. But at the end of the day, 178 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 1: it's about getting the quarterback room right and no matter 179 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: how you did it, no matter what it looked like, 180 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: you were able to do that. And so maybe just 181 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 1: maybe you have Trey Lance says the backup. I don't 182 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: like him, Sam Darnold. Maybe it's enough for you to 183 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 1: move on feeling better about that quarterback room. So we'll 184 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,439 Speaker 1: see on the flip side, you had an opportunity to 185 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 1: see Russell Wilson again and Sean Payton's offense, And I 186 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: would tell you, man, like my expectations for Russell Wilton, 187 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson and Sean Payton connecting, I thought, if anyone 188 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: is going to get Russell to kind of bounce back 189 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: after poor performance, it has to be Sean Payton. Sean 190 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 1: Payton has done it for so long. He did it 191 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: with Drew Brees. And even though Drew Brees and Russell 192 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: Wilson aren't the same player, it's about putting Russell Wilson 193 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: in the situation where he can flourish. Sean Payton had 194 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 1: talked about before he came on board. Look, when you 195 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: take a player like Russell Wilson, it is about playing 196 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: the hits. It is finding the things that he can do, 197 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: even late in this stage of his career, and doing 198 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: them over and over and over again. When Russell Wilson 199 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 1: was at his best in Seattle, a lot of those 200 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,959 Speaker 1: things were done on the move, It was done off 201 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: deep play action. It was Russell Wilson improvising and creating things. 202 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: Or he's not the same Russ anymore. He's not the 203 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: same athlete that he was during the prime, during his 204 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: prime years in Seattle. And I know we can talk 205 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: about like man, it just seemed like two three years 206 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: ago everyone was campaigning for Seattle to let Russ cook. 207 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: But what happens with some athletes. Man, when it falls, 208 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 1: it falls quickly. And Russell Wilson's athleticism has seemingly disappear 209 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 1: from him in terms of like that high end athleticism 210 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: that he used to display. But what he can do 211 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:34,840 Speaker 1: is he still can be a Pheude Gennal. He still 212 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,840 Speaker 1: can do some things in terms of moving the pocket 213 00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: and trying to get the ball to the playmakers and 214 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: allowing those guys to work. The issue with Russell Wilson 215 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: is he has never been a quick rhythm passer, meaning 216 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: he's never been a timing and rhythm passive where it 217 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 1: was catch rock throw. That's not his game. His game 218 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: has been built off play action and so trying to 219 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: find that delicate balance between what Sean Payton has always 220 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:04,880 Speaker 1: done when he had Drew Brees, quick rhythm, empty it out, 221 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: ball comes out one two seconds and allow those playmakers 222 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 1: to work to can that transition from being this quick 223 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: rhythm offensive coach and play caller to being a guy 224 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: that can be more elaborate in terms of marrying what 225 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:24,200 Speaker 1: we do running wise with what Russell is going to 226 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,960 Speaker 1: do in the passing game. And so if you think 227 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: about Javonte Williams and some of the players to the 228 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: Broncos have in the backfield, it's about a run and 229 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: a perception that we are grinding out team so I 230 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 1: can make the game easier for my quarterback. To do that, 231 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: it has to be about all the offensive line being solid. 232 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: The offensive line has to be rock solid at the 233 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 1: point of attack. You got to move people off the ball. 234 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: Everything has to look the same the first two to 235 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: three seconds. And right now, I mean, let's be honest, 236 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 1: the Broncos are working progress because I think Russe is 237 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: still having a tough time adapting to another system that's 238 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: different than what he played in in Seattle. He's not 239 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,719 Speaker 1: necessarily the same player that he was from an athleticism standpoint, 240 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 1: and so he's trying to figure out how to play 241 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: with I would say diminishing skills as a player. Sean 242 00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: Payton is trying to take him where he is and 243 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 1: put him in an offense where he can flourish. And 244 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 1: the results still have been kind of up and down. 245 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: Last night he was three for six, he had twenty 246 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,640 Speaker 1: four yards, didn't take a sack, but a passed rating 247 00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: of only sixty point four. He had twenty five rushing 248 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: yards on three temps, had a seventeen yard scramble. That 249 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: was nice to see. But you're still waiting for this 250 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,040 Speaker 1: offense to click with Russell Wilson. The weapons are around him. 251 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,559 Speaker 1: You would like to think of courtneys and Jerry Judy 252 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: and those things, but still is going to take some 253 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 1: time for the Broncos to do it. And the thing 254 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,840 Speaker 1: about the Broncos doing it, they have to do it 255 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 1: in the West, and you got to deal with Pat 256 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: Mahomes justin Herbert. It's just gonna be tough, and the 257 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,719 Speaker 1: Raiders look much better. So there we have it. That's 258 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: the opening little sequence. We talked about Deniners and Trey Lance. 259 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: We talked about Denver Broncos trying to get it back 260 00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 1: with Sean Payton. We'll see quarterbacks are everything, and you 261 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 1: have to have a quarterback to get it done in 262 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,559 Speaker 1: this league and when you the Broncos and you the 263 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: Niners and you have questions about your quarterback, it's kind 264 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: of hard to get it done at a high level. 265 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: So that's it. We'll take a little break. We're back 266 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,920 Speaker 1: in a couple of minutes and more on Fox Sports Sunday. 267 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,960 Speaker 1: All right, guys, and we're back. Welcome back to Fox 268 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday. We're going to continue to rock on talk 269 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: about all things infl. I briefly mentioned the Jets, and 270 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:38,600 Speaker 1: the Jets have been the darlings of the media landscape 271 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:42,440 Speaker 1: since Aaron Rodgers joined them this offseason. Everybody can't talk, 272 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: We can't talk enough about the New York Jets. And 273 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 1: even though they fought it like kicking and screaming, the 274 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: one thing that has added some intrigue to the Jets 275 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 1: has been the Jets allowing access during Hard Knocks. Hard 276 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: Knocks is feet of the Jets. We've seen a couple 277 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,160 Speaker 1: of episodes. We've had that opportunity to really get great insight, 278 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: even though it's not, as I would say, as personal 279 00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: as it's been in the past in terms of dealing 280 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: with like bubble players or German players who are having 281 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: to kind of work through the stress of potentially being cut, 282 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: it has still giving us an opportunity to kind of 283 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,160 Speaker 1: look at what the Jets are going through, to go 284 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: from a team that was kind of lightly regarded to 285 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 1: a team that people have big expectations. Well in the 286 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: midx of that, because a lot of hard knocks has 287 00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: centered on Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers kind of making 288 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,680 Speaker 1: a way in Aaron Rodgers showing himself to be maybe 289 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: different than we perceived. So who's very engaging, someone who 290 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 1: is very complimentary of his teammates, someone who has kind 291 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: of embraced the mentor role with Garrett Wilson and Saus 292 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 1: Gardner and some of the younger teammates. He by all accounts, 293 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 1: looks like what you want a high end franchise quarterback 294 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,640 Speaker 1: to look like when it comes to leadership, playing ability 295 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: in those things. Of course, the show was always going 296 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: to put the stars of the show in the best 297 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 1: like so it's been an infomercial for the Jets and 298 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers and his case to be like a gold 299 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 1: jacket guy, etc. Etc. But one of the things that 300 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: is interesting to me is to watch the development of 301 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson while Aaron Rodgers is there if you don't remember, Like, look, 302 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson was the number two overall player taken by 303 00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: the Jets a couple of seasons ago. I had two 304 00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 1: up and down years before the Jets decided that needing 305 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: a veteran presence at the position because the quarterback was, 306 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: I guess, seemingly holding them back from reaching their greatness. Well, 307 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: the thing about that relationship you bring in Aaron Rodgers, 308 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson has always idolized Aaron Rodgers. He said that's 309 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: what he pad in his game after when he was 310 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: coming up through the ranks as a pre Jeff prospect, 311 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 1: he talked about that Aaron Rodgers was his guy. And 312 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: so the Jets might have stumbled into something great by 313 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: bringing Aaron Rodgers in. Because what we're seeing from Zack 314 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 1: Wilson is exactly what Jets, the Jets officials, the Jets 315 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: coaches wanted to see from the young player from the 316 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: time that he stepped on to the field fresh out 317 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: of BYU. He has been more composed, He's played with 318 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 1: more confidence, his swagger is in check. He appears to 319 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 1: be a little lighter in terms of his leadership style 320 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,000 Speaker 1: than trying to get up and I guess to engage 321 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,680 Speaker 1: his teammates. It seems and appears that Aaron Rodgers has 322 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 1: kind of taught Zack Wilson how to navigate those challenges, 323 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,879 Speaker 1: the challenges that you have as a franchise quarterback on 324 00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: the fields. Clearly that it's clearly on display that Zach 325 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: Wilson has learned from Aaron Rodgers. What you're seeing as 326 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,399 Speaker 1: a quarterback who now has a better understanding of the 327 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,359 Speaker 1: timing of the passing game. He has kind of beating 328 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 1: us with the boring stuff, meaning catch rock, throw on time, 329 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: take the check down as it there, get to my first, second, 330 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 1: third option. Don't feel like I need to force it 331 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: or make a spectacular wild throw when I can take 332 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 1: a simple dump off and allow the running back to 333 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: do the work for me and we still stay on schedule. 334 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: The other part about being around Aaron Rodgers and what 335 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: it appears that Zach Wilson is learning is being able 336 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 1: to understand the pace and the timing and the rhythm 337 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: of the game, being better able to manage the game 338 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,840 Speaker 1: from the quarterback position, meaning look, I know what I 339 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 1: have to do. I know down distance, I know situation. 340 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 1: A offense is rolling defense, has them under checked. I 341 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 1: don't need to force it and make a mistake. If 342 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: I just play clean football, this team can win. Zach 343 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: Wilson is really being able to play within himself. So 344 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 1: last time he had an opportunity to start again and 345 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: play again against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Finish nine of 346 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 1: thirteen has seventy yards and even though he only averaged 347 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,000 Speaker 1: five point four yards per attempt, is Zack Wilson's ability 348 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 1: to get the ball out of his hands to continue 349 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 1: to kind of move the offense that you like the 350 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: Other part of it is he kind of impressed with 351 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 1: a nice nifty scramble where you saw him make a play, 352 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: get out of trouble, show some of the athleticism that 353 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 1: we saw at BYU spinning, getting down the sideline, all 354 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 1: those things on a thirty five yard run. Now, don't 355 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: like to hit that he took it the end, but 356 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: I do like the fact that this elusiveness to improvisational skills, 357 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: all those things have been there. He Zach Wilson has 358 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: just lacked the confidence. Ann Rodgers is helping Zack Wilson 359 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: regain the confidence that made him the second overall pick. 360 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: And if Aaron Rodgers is able to man a position 361 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: for a year or two while Zack Wilson continues to grow. 362 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: If I'm the Jets, I'm all about that. I am 363 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,240 Speaker 1: all all about having my next quarterback in place. And 364 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 1: even though it can get dicey at the end of 365 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 1: the season or next year when they begin to discuss 366 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: a picking up fifth year options in those things, I 367 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: think that's a minor price to have a franchise quarterback secure. Now, 368 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,959 Speaker 1: we haven't seen Zach Wilson do it again in regular 369 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 1: season games, but if he continues to progress the way 370 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: that he has this preseason, Man, if I'm the Jets, 371 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: I feel very optimistic about this guy being able to 372 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: take the baton from Aaron Rodgers. Whenever Aaron Rodgers exit 373 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: stage right and continue to leave us in a really, 374 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: really solid place, I just you know, it's different. It's 375 00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:49,119 Speaker 1: unusual for things to go like in this fashion. But 376 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 1: it looks like it worked out. And if it works 377 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: out for the Jets with Zach Wilson, Man, the Jets 378 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 1: have a young, talented team that appear to be on 379 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: the cusp of title contention. If they're able to secure 380 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback position in the near term, and the long term, man, 381 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: you feel great about what is going on. Let's look 382 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: at the other side of that. So the Jets play 383 00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has seemingly won the 384 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: job in the competition with Cayle Trass. Baker Mayfield didn't 385 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,640 Speaker 1: play in week two. Week two is the new week 386 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: where you can determine who your starters are because normally 387 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: in week two you're not playing the starters a lot. 388 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: You're gonna save them for Week three and let them 389 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 1: play a quarter or two. Well, Baker Mayfield didn't play. 390 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 1: It was all Carasses, Cayle tra asseletes showed from beginning 391 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 1: to almost the end. Cal tra Ass had a decent 392 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: performance twenty of twenty eight two hundred and eighteen yards, 393 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 1: had a touchdown. Bucks were able to win the game, 394 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,719 Speaker 1: but Baker Mayfield getting the night off says everything that 395 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: you need to know about the quarterback competition is done. 396 00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles is going to hand the ball to Baker 397 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: Mayfield and Mayfield is going to have his foot third, 398 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: fourth opportunity to be a starting quarterback in this league. 399 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: And the Buccaneers are looking at it as look, this 400 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 1: is a situation where It's wide open in the NFC South. 401 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:17,600 Speaker 1: People are talking about the Saints being ready to rock 402 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: with Derek Carr and that, you know, the talented roster 403 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:23,600 Speaker 1: even though it's older, the talented roster that the Saints have. 404 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 1: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers see themselves as a team that, look, 405 00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 1: they can get right back in the mix. When you 406 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,720 Speaker 1: look at their offensive lineman, Look, man, they have talent. 407 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean they are ready to go. You have Chris Godwin, 408 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: you have Mike Evans, you have playmakers in the passing game. 409 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:48,160 Speaker 1: The offensive line is being flipped over. Tristan Worth's going 410 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: from right tackle to left tackle, but he's a Pro 411 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,360 Speaker 1: Bowl caliber player. He's done it. Ryan Jensen will eventually 412 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:57,239 Speaker 1: return as cenator. You got Cody Mark who's drafted from 413 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: North Dakota State to be able to do it. They 414 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: still have some some issues to show up, but offensively 415 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 1: they have it. Rashaw White was really impressive players to 416 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:11,679 Speaker 1: kind of flash during his first season. He'll get a 417 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 1: chance to take it over full time. And as this 418 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 1: offense changes under Drew Canalist, this team is going to 419 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,520 Speaker 1: play like a variation in version of the Seahawks and 420 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: the Rams before that. Where they're gonna run the ball, 421 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: they're gonna throw off play action in Baker Mayfield, when 422 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,639 Speaker 1: he plays within himself, he's good enough. We saw when 423 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,919 Speaker 1: he had an opportunity, but the Rams in schwartz Burks 424 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: he played solid. He played well enough that he opened 425 00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 1: his eyes and you were like, oh, okay, I can 426 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 1: see Baker having some success. But in this style of offense, 427 00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 1: he absolutely can have success because it's still an offshoot 428 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 1: of what he was able to do in Cleveland doing 429 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 1: his best years and what he was able to do 430 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,120 Speaker 1: the Rams when he had some of his best games. 431 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,680 Speaker 1: So offensively, the Buccaneers look like they can be mid 432 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,400 Speaker 1: level offense. It's defensively where they have to get it done, 433 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: and defensively all the firepower is in place on that 434 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: side to still play at a high level. We can 435 00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,639 Speaker 1: talk about Devin White, Levante David being able to do it. 436 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:10,720 Speaker 1: Shaquille Barrett comes back from injury situations where he should 437 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: be really really solid. Two years removed from that. You 438 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: drafted Elijah Cansi to give you another explosive player. And 439 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 1: then in the back end they have really good players 440 00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: on the edges. Carlton Davis, Jamil Dean, both of those 441 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 1: guys Antoine Wingfield Jr. Playing at safety. And so if 442 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,639 Speaker 1: you're Todd Bowles and you're saying this division is opening, 443 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: you got a young quarterback and Bryce Young, have an 444 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: uncertain quarterback in an unproven quarterback in Desmond Ritter in Atlanta, 445 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,080 Speaker 1: and then have Derek Carr. Well, I mean, there are 446 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people that love Derek Carr, but Derek 447 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: Carr has also had some moments under pressure where he 448 00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: hasn't been able to come through. From you and temper Bay, 449 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: Todd Bowles, you see that there's an open, an opening, 450 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:57,959 Speaker 1: an opportunity to win the division if the quarterback doesn't 451 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: mess it up. And so the reason Baker Mayfield was 452 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,640 Speaker 1: a choice of a Cayltrast is because good, bad, or indifferent, 453 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: you know what you're getting with Baker Mayfield. And if 454 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: he is compliant to playing a more conservative style where 455 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 1: he plays within himself and doesn't try to prove the 456 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199 Speaker 1: people he's a former number one overall pick oh, this 457 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: Buccaneers team can be good enough to scratch out ten 458 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: wins and put themselves in a position to swipe the division. 459 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: You know, to take the division, and a division that 460 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:29,199 Speaker 1: is going to be expected to go to the Saints. 461 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: The Buccaneers can absolutely go toe to toe with him. 462 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: So coming out of those performances, Baker Mayfield being the 463 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, Zach Wilson looking like he is next in 464 00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: line to be on the move, you got to be 465 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: excited about that last thing. Before we wrap up this segment, 466 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: I can't go without talking about Tin Taegabaaloa making his appearance, 467 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:56,920 Speaker 1: his reappearance, his reemergence last night for the Miami Dolphins 468 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,360 Speaker 1: to had an early interception. But I think the main 469 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: thing that everyone wanted to see is how is Toua 470 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 1: going to respond the last time we saw Tua. There 471 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 1: are a lot of concerns about concussions and those things. 472 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: Would he be able to get hit? And I know 473 00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: a part of us want to treat Tua like a 474 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 1: China doll. Like man, he just can't get hit. To 475 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,360 Speaker 1: Scot He's gonna break and fall apart. I think look 476 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: that the young player will figured out. I think he 477 00:26:19,600 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: will find a way to keep himself out of harm's way, 478 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 1: and so we'll figure out. We'll talk more about Tua. 479 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: Let's go to trend and see what's going. 480 00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 2: On Women's World Cup in action right now, the final 481 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 2: between Spain and England. They're in the thirty fourth minute 482 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: and Spain has taken a one nier lead down in Sydney. 483 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,919 Speaker 2: The other football we had the preseason a scary moment 484 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: between the Patriots and Packers. The game was called off 485 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,119 Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter after Isaiah Boulden took a hit 486 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,479 Speaker 2: from a teammate that left him a mobilized and required 487 00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 2: him to be carted off on a stretcher. The Patriots 488 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 2: did say Bolden had feeling in all his extremities, but 489 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,120 Speaker 2: he will remain hospitalized for evaluation.

The Dodgers sweeping the 497 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 2: double header from the Marlins. They won three to one 498 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 2: in both games rookie Betts had two home runs in 499 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 2: a Game number two, Arizona taking both games of a 500 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,959 Speaker 2: twin bill against the Padres, winning the first game six 501 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 2: to four and then the second one eight to one. 502 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 2: The Rays and Angels had a doubleheader.

He's seventeen for his last 508 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 2: twenty two at the plate, and that's in the last 509 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,919 Speaker 2: four games. The seventeen hits in a four game stretch 510 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: the most in Major League history. Another team won a 511 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 2: five game winning streak is the Atlanta Braves. They added 512 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 2: to San Francisco Giants six to five on an eighth 513 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: inning two run home run by Eddie Rosario. The Orioles 514 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 2: needed ten innings, but they beat the Oakland Athletics seven 515 00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 2: to two. The Brewers over the Rangers six to one. 516 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 2: Is Texas a dreadful time at the plate eighteen strikeouts. 517 00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 2: The Blue Jays with a four to three win against 518 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 2: the Reds. Big rivalry between Yankees Red Sox, and it's 519 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,720 Speaker 2: just getting even more miserable in the Bronx as the 520 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,359 Speaker 2: Yankees have now lost seven straight, the Red Sox beating 521 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: the may One, handing a loss to Garrett Cole back 522 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: over to you, thanks. 523 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,400 Speaker 1: Man, Like this is crazy, man, Yankees, Kim, and I 524 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,680 Speaker 1: believe the Shawhood team is just absolutely struggling, just falling off, 525 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 1: falling off. I am now a LA resident and so 526 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: I'm a huge Dodgers van in the Dodge are not. 527 00:28:56,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 1: But the Yankees out of Dodgers are rolling. They look good. 528 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,240 Speaker 1: Mookie Betts knocking on runs out, sending shouts out to 529 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: lebron So I love it. It's fascinating to watch. But 530 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: when you talk about too high profile teams you talking 531 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: about the Yankees, talking about the Dodgers and football, that 532 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 1: would have to be the Dallas Cowboys and all things 533 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 1: Dallas always revolves around the quarterback and and how the 534 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,760 Speaker 1: quarterback has to feel the pressure of getting this team 535 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:23,280 Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl. We haven't seen this team 536 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,160 Speaker 1: go to the Super Bowl since the mid nineties, and 537 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: so everyone wants to know, is Dak Prescott good enough 538 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: to get the Cowboys to the Super Bowl? And so 539 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:37,479 Speaker 1: this year is kind of a Scott in Dallas. It's 540 00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,120 Speaker 1: a make or break year because he's in the midst 541 00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 1: of a contract extension that is paying him forty million 542 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:45,000 Speaker 1: dollars annually. Well, he's coming to the end of that, 543 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: and so the Cowboys are having to contemplate whether to 544 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: sign him and give him an extension that will likely 545 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 1: take him over to fifty million dollar annual threshold, or 546 00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: are they going to be forced to move on. And 547 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: so when you think about the Cowboys and what is 548 00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: happening the Cowboys having been plassed in the divisional playoff round, 549 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:08,680 Speaker 1: he's over three in the divisional playoff round. Has not 550 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: gotten this team to a championship game. The last time 551 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:15,880 Speaker 1: we watched Dak Prescott played against San Francisco forty nine ers. Look, 552 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: he was a missing link he couldn't get in the past. 553 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,680 Speaker 1: And even though I'm a huge Dak Prescott fan and 554 00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: acnowledged that last year made he was impacted by the 555 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 1: thumb injury in those things, let's call a spade a spade. 556 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: He has to play at a high level for this 557 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,360 Speaker 1: team to get beyond the divisional round at gaming ultimately 558 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: into the Super Bowl. He now has changes on offense. 559 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:43,160 Speaker 1: The number one changes. Mike McCarthy, super Bowl winning coach, 560 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,760 Speaker 1: takes over his offensive play caller in place of Kellen Moore. 561 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: Has been around great quarterbacks. We were together in Kansas City. 562 00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: He was the quarterback coach Joe Montana. He obviously helped 563 00:30:57,080 --> 00:31:02,479 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers become in four time multiple MVP under his watch, 564 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 1: and he knows what high end quarterback play looks like. 565 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: McCarthy steps into a pressure cooker in terms of Dallas 566 00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:15,400 Speaker 1: and the expectations and what people want. His predecessor Killim Moore, 567 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: and to the predecessor as a play called Kelli Moore 568 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:18,640 Speaker 1: did a good job of the offense in terms of 569 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 1: lighting it up, scoring points, putting them at a point 570 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 1: at a place where they could put up almost thirty 571 00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,760 Speaker 1: points a game, throwing it all over the yard, and 572 00:31:26,800 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: doing some creative things on offense. But Mike McCarthy wanted 573 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: to take over because he felt like this team needed 574 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,520 Speaker 1: to play more complimentary football. And the way you play 575 00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 1: complimentated football is the offense must compliment what the defense 576 00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: is doing, so meaning if the defense has the game 577 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 1: in check within, the offense can choke down what they're 578 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: doing scale back what they're doing become a little more 579 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: risk adverse, run the football more, do some things that 580 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: would allow the team to openly win, maybe not in 581 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 1: the sexy fashion, but maybe win any more consistent fashion. 582 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:07,600 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy also understands a little bit about the multiplicity 583 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: of using different personnel packages to create favorable matchups for 584 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: the quarterback. So that means sometimes using two tight ends, 585 00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: sometimes using multiple backs in the backfield to force the 586 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 1: defense to play certain ways so the game will be 587 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,040 Speaker 1: easy for the quarterback. Mike McCarthy has also given his 588 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks more freedom at the line of scrimmage to make 589 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: sure that they always have the team in a good play. 590 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,000 Speaker 1: Dak Prescott has talked about having more ownership of this 591 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,960 Speaker 1: offense in the offseason. He's talked about being on page, 592 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 1: calling his own plays, flipping things at the line of scrimmage, 593 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 1: just really owning and commanding the offense. As an eight 594 00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: year pro, he should be able to do that. Being 595 00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 1: a forty million dollars quarterback, he should be given the 596 00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 1: freedom to do some of those things. And so the 597 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 1: reason why this is a big year is because he 598 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,200 Speaker 1: has all those freedoms. He has everything at his disposal 599 00:32:57,560 --> 00:33:00,960 Speaker 1: that should enable him to be great speedy running back 600 00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: and Tony Pollard he has Ceedee Lamb. Brandon Cooks has 601 00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,320 Speaker 1: been a consistent one thousand yard receiver. Michael Gallum is 602 00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,920 Speaker 1: two years removed from his injury when he was playing well. 603 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,000 Speaker 1: He's been a thousand yard receiver who can take the 604 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,440 Speaker 1: top off defenses and those things. So you got three 605 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: weapons on the outside and a closer weapon in the backfield. 606 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,320 Speaker 1: You have a defense that features Michael Parsons Treamon Diggs 607 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: that can get the ball back. I mean, what's not 608 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: to like about the Cowboys? The thing about it, it 609 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:29,600 Speaker 1: comes down to how is Dak Prescott going to perform 610 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: and is he going to perform at a level that 611 00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: will give them a chance to get there? If you 612 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: ask me, I'm gonna say, hey man, let's make this 613 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,760 Speaker 1: thing happen. Let's put it on him, let's do it, 614 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: and let's do it, and let's make it happen. So 615 00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,840 Speaker 1: let's take it great.

Sugar has been 626 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,960 Speaker 1: one of the stars on the rise. Big personality, like 627 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:32,400 Speaker 1: a like spectacular skill set and game. A guy who 628 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,080 Speaker 1: can strike, has kicks, he has everything, and he does 629 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:38,040 Speaker 1: it and like what I call rockstar fashion, meaning he 630 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: has big interests. He does a great job of like 631 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,200 Speaker 1: enticing and energizing the crowd. And once again he did it, man, 632 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:48,400 Speaker 1: he did it in Boston. Au Jumont Sterling was like 633 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,800 Speaker 1: it will go down as arguably the all time great 634 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: and the bandonmweight division. A guy who had made title defenses, 635 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,759 Speaker 1: he's moved up, he'd done a bunch of different things. 636 00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,839 Speaker 1: A guy who had like three different he could strike, 637 00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:04,200 Speaker 1: he used jiu jitsu, he could wrestle, he was supposed 638 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:11,360 Speaker 1: to be O'Malley's most difficult opponent as the defending champion. Well, O'Malley, 639 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,040 Speaker 1: who I would say, man, his right hand has been 640 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,160 Speaker 1: touched by the gods. He has an ability to just 641 00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 1: drop folks, knock out victims galore. And he called Sterling 642 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:25,319 Speaker 1: in the second round with the fake kick and then 643 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,000 Speaker 1: dropped him with the right hand and then just continue 644 00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:32,520 Speaker 1: to just absolutely pummel him until the referee stopped the fight. 645 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,240 Speaker 1: It was one of the one It was the biggest 646 00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 1: fight in UFC history in terms of like the Bandawet Division, 647 00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:39,560 Speaker 1: in terms of the draws and to pay for you, 648 00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:42,200 Speaker 1: the numbers are ridiculous. Everyone wanted to see it because, 649 00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:46,880 Speaker 1: like we talked about styles making fights, this was compelling 650 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:50,280 Speaker 1: from beginning to end because there's just two different styles. 651 00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: You have the guy who wants to grapple, try and 652 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:54,400 Speaker 1: get you on the ground, ground and pounds, see if 653 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:56,440 Speaker 1: he could tie you up and eventually forced the submission, 654 00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: versus the guy who likes to stay on his feet, 655 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:03,120 Speaker 1: who has kicks, but he has tremendous one shot knockout power. 656 00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,160 Speaker 1: And going into it, it was one of those where 657 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: people talked about Howard O'Malley deal with the different styles 658 00:36:10,160 --> 00:36:13,600 Speaker 1: O'Malley and O'Malley in his camp had talked about, look, man, 659 00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: we trapped people and catched him in their mistakes and 660 00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,440 Speaker 1: everybody's chin is vulnerable, and if I have an opportunity 661 00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: to catch him make a mistake, I'm going to drop him. 662 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,799 Speaker 1: And sure enough, Man, as they predicted, it was a 663 00:36:28,840 --> 00:36:32,680 Speaker 1: tremendous right hand counter that hits Sterling right on the button, 664 00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,880 Speaker 1: drops to his knees and then it is just the 665 00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 1: unleashing a big shot after big shot after big shot. 666 00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:43,000 Speaker 1: And I will say this, he was aggressive, but he 667 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,760 Speaker 1: was calculated in terms of how he expanded his energy 668 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:49,479 Speaker 1: and how he went for the knockout, like he took 669 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:52,239 Speaker 1: his time picked him apart, and when he got him 670 00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,640 Speaker 1: on the ground, I mean, it was just unrelenting shot 671 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 1: up to shot, up to shot until they stepped in. 672 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: And so now you have this Superstars as a champion, 673 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:05,800 Speaker 1: I would say, a Superstar on like with the potential 674 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:09,120 Speaker 1: to be like what Connor McGregor was for that division. 675 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,120 Speaker 1: And so when you think about the UFC and how 676 00:37:12,239 --> 00:37:15,760 Speaker 1: Dana White has put this together, Man Stars on Stars 677 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,920 Speaker 1: on Stars on Stars and O'Malley is the next star 678 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:23,400 Speaker 1: that will be Muscy TV whenever he steps into the oxtagon. 679 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,960 Speaker 1: It is one of the things that has led so 680 00:37:26,040 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: many fans to run towards the UFC after being longtime 681 00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 1: boxing fans. It's the star power that we've seen. The 682 00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 1: spectacular finishes, the unpredictability of what can transpire, but having 683 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 1: the field and the faith in a looking an artist, 684 00:37:44,800 --> 00:37:47,000 Speaker 1: a combatant that is going to go into ring and 685 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:49,399 Speaker 1: not only delivered the wins, but he's going to deliver 686 00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:52,959 Speaker 1: it in spectacular fashion. That's what we have for Shane 687 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: O'Malley from Sugar. Shane Sugar steps into the ring full 688 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,680 Speaker 1: of bravado, full of confidence, full of I mean, I 689 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:03,120 Speaker 1: would say like a Knox arrogance in which he steps 690 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:05,200 Speaker 1: in there and just says, look, I'm going to knock 691 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,359 Speaker 1: people out. We put people to sleep. And man, he 692 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 1: was a sniper. And so to see this guy come 693 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:15,200 Speaker 1: from the ranks of you know, like the reality show 694 00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,560 Speaker 1: to then being able to make it happen. Man, what 695 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: a night. What a tremendous opportunity for Shane O'Malley to 696 00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:27,520 Speaker 1: knock off to the Finnish champ al Jabon Sterling and 697 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,600 Speaker 1: to do it and to set up these mega fights 698 00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,440 Speaker 1: going on, because he's talked about one to fight Javonte 699 00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:36,359 Speaker 1: Davis Man. I can't wait to see that crossover. Talk 700 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,200 Speaker 1: about MMA boxing, two big stars getting in the ring, 701 00:38:39,600 --> 00:38:44,759 Speaker 1: both with spectacular power. Exactly what Dana White wants. He 702 00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 1: wants more eyes on his sport and he's certainly going 703 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:51,120 Speaker 1: to get him. With Sugar Shane O'Malley taking over the 704 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,040 Speaker 1: bandonweight division, I can't wait to see what is in 705 00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:57,200 Speaker 1: line for him. He talked about fighting into UFC two 706 00:38:57,239 --> 00:39:00,399 Speaker 1: ninety six should be a good one. Well, we got 707 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:02,960 Speaker 1: some more good stuff for you coming back on the 708 00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:06,120 Speaker 1: top of the hour.

I am here training 727 00:40:11,560 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: solo for a little bit. Andy Furman and Mike Harmon 728 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,200 Speaker 1: will join me shortly, but I am excited to start 729 00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,000 Speaker 1: our second hour. We talked all things football in the 730 00:40:20,080 --> 00:40:23,360 Speaker 1: first hour. We'll continue to kind of go down that 731 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,440 Speaker 1: road as we get into the second hour. We talked 732 00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 1: about early on talking about Trey Lance. San Francisco forty 733 00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,040 Speaker 1: nine is brock Perdy made his first appearance for the 734 00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:36,680 Speaker 1: forty nine ers last night. Really good in performance four 735 00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:39,040 Speaker 1: or five, let the team down the field, they scored. 736 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,800 Speaker 1: He took a hit, bounced back, didn't have any ill effects. 737 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,239 Speaker 1: And so if you're Kyle Shanahan, you feel great about 738 00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:47,640 Speaker 1: your quarterback getting that work in and looking like he's 739 00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,520 Speaker 1: going to be ready to be your Week one starter. 740 00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,600 Speaker 1: That is great news for the forty nine ers. They'll 741 00:40:52,600 --> 00:40:55,000 Speaker 1: figure out what to do with Trey Lance and Sam Donald, 742 00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,520 Speaker 1: but as long as they have their quote unquote QB 743 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:01,279 Speaker 1: one brock Prady, this team looks like it's going to 744 00:41:01,320 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: be one of the cream one of the teams at 745 00:41:03,120 --> 00:41:06,120 Speaker 1: the top of the NFC again, and they certainly are 746 00:41:06,160 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: in line to go and run that back against the 747 00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:12,839 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles, maybe in the championship game. We also saw 748 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:15,919 Speaker 1: last night other performers who had a chance to see 749 00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:19,480 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson play against the Jets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 750 00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,280 Speaker 1: Zack Wilson, who's been kind of operating in the shadow 751 00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:26,000 Speaker 1: of Aaron Rodgers throughout this training camp, also under the 752 00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:30,400 Speaker 1: respective of hard knocks, has seemingly really improved. The mentorship 753 00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 1: program that Aaron Rodgers kind of running with all those 754 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:37,160 Speaker 1: young Jets players is working. We have seen Zack Wilson 755 00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:40,759 Speaker 1: improved by leaps and bounds. He looks more confident, more decisive. 756 00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,720 Speaker 1: He certainly is playing the game at a fast eclip, 757 00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:46,680 Speaker 1: and so the Jets might have something in the number 758 00:41:46,719 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 1: two overall pick as he continues to serve the supprenticeship 759 00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:52,759 Speaker 1: up under Aaron Rodgers for the next year or two, 760 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:57,240 Speaker 1: we could potentially see where Aaron Rodgers hands the baton 761 00:41:57,400 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 1: back to the guy that he took the baton from 762 00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,840 Speaker 1: quarterback position. And if the Jets get a better player 763 00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:05,920 Speaker 1: and Zach Wilson after sitting them down for two years, 764 00:42:06,040 --> 00:42:08,360 Speaker 1: they're all the better for it, because ultimately, you need 765 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:11,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback to compete in this league, and to compete 766 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:14,000 Speaker 1: in the AFC, you need a high end quarterback with 767 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:17,400 Speaker 1: all of the pieces in place. We talked about the 768 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,440 Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys and we'll continue to talk about the Dallas 769 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,799 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Dak Prescott. And now this is a year 770 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,919 Speaker 1: for Dak Prescott. He has to figure out a way 771 00:42:23,960 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 1: to make it happen. Mike McCarthy's taken over to play calling. 772 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:30,600 Speaker 1: They have superstars, I mean all stars all around Dak 773 00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,560 Speaker 1: Prescott on offense and defense, and so they're no more 774 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,360 Speaker 1: excuses you're forty million dollars quarterback who could be in 775 00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,440 Speaker 1: line to get a mega extension. It is time to 776 00:42:39,600 --> 00:42:43,120 Speaker 1: get it done. Cowboys fans have been patiently waiting for 777 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,839 Speaker 1: this team to go back to the super Bowl since 778 00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:48,160 Speaker 1: the mid nineties. It has not happened for them, and 779 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,879 Speaker 1: it has to happen this year or Look, man, they're 780 00:42:50,880 --> 00:42:53,280 Speaker 1: gonna have to be some hard decisions that must be made, 781 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,920 Speaker 1: first at head coach, second at quarterback. Eight year quarterback, 782 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:00,840 Speaker 1: you haven't been able to get your team beyond the 783 00:43:00,880 --> 00:43:04,279 Speaker 1: divisional playoff round. You're now on America's team commanding a 784 00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,040 Speaker 1: lot of money, and you could be one of those 785 00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:09,279 Speaker 1: guys angling for a fifty million dollars contract. Yeah, it's 786 00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,879 Speaker 1: time to get it done, and you have to get 787 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:15,080 Speaker 1: it done before the end of the last hour. I 788 00:43:15,200 --> 00:43:17,880 Speaker 1: briefly touched on to a tongue of a lower returning 789 00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: to the lineup for the Miami Dolphins to a tug 790 00:43:21,160 --> 00:43:22,759 Speaker 1: of a layer. Had an opportunity to play against the 791 00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,720 Speaker 1: Houston Texans, completed five or seven passes sixty one yards, 792 00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:30,160 Speaker 1: had an interception. But the most important thing when it 793 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:33,440 Speaker 1: comes to Tua to a walked away from the game healthy, 794 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,640 Speaker 1: he was good to take any major shots. He was 795 00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:38,840 Speaker 1: able to bounce back. He's good to go. And here's 796 00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:41,600 Speaker 1: why two was so important to that offense. People can 797 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,640 Speaker 1: talk about whether the two was a high end quarterback, 798 00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,920 Speaker 1: was the top five, top ten quarterback all that. We 799 00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:49,600 Speaker 1: can debate that at nausea, But what we do know 800 00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,719 Speaker 1: is when to a tag of a lord is at 801 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,000 Speaker 1: the helm of this offense, a season goes one of 802 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,680 Speaker 1: the best offenses that we saw in football. You look 803 00:43:56,719 --> 00:43:59,320 Speaker 1: at the weapons that he has around him and Jayalen 804 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,560 Speaker 1: Waddle Tyreek Hill, two guys who not only went four 805 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,160 Speaker 1: thousand yards, but two guys that are very difficult to 806 00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:09,720 Speaker 1: defend because of their combination of speed, quickness, and explosiveness. 807 00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:13,480 Speaker 1: The ability for Tua to basically function as a point 808 00:44:13,480 --> 00:44:17,439 Speaker 1: guard running a fast break in an NBA game. That's 809 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: what the Miami Dolphins have done. They've been able to 810 00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,000 Speaker 1: surround him with the weapons where he can just catch 811 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: rock and fire, very similar to what he was able 812 00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,439 Speaker 1: to do at Alabama. As a result, man Tua's top 813 00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,360 Speaker 1: of the charts and completion percentage if not deleted, a 814 00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:34,359 Speaker 1: completion percentage passer rating, all of the things you look 815 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:36,760 Speaker 1: at the points that the Dolphins put up with Tua 816 00:44:37,040 --> 00:44:41,560 Speaker 1: at quarterback versus the others, huge difference, huge impact. And 817 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:46,279 Speaker 1: so as I think about this, if you're if you're 818 00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:49,600 Speaker 1: really all in on the Dolphins, it is all about 819 00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:54,320 Speaker 1: Tua's availability and how Tua is going to be able 820 00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:58,640 Speaker 1: to protect himself and how as coaches you can protect 821 00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,279 Speaker 1: him to make sure that he is not going to 822 00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:04,479 Speaker 1: take unnecessary shots, that he is going to be set 823 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,480 Speaker 1: up for success by not only always having the protection, 824 00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,279 Speaker 1: but by having what we call the sight adjustments and 825 00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:14,480 Speaker 1: hots layered into it where he doesn't have to deal 826 00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,000 Speaker 1: with free runners coming in and getting shots on them. 827 00:45:17,120 --> 00:45:20,000 Speaker 1: So Mike McDaniel has had to spend the entire offseason 828 00:45:20,400 --> 00:45:22,759 Speaker 1: just figuring out how can I tweak and craft this 829 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: offense to make sure that I keep my guy protected. 830 00:45:26,440 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: We will see some of the running game kind of 831 00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 1: show up. We will see this is a team that 832 00:45:30,680 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: has a nice, speedy collection of backs that have really 833 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,960 Speaker 1: given people problems in the past when you think about 834 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:41,800 Speaker 1: who they're able to get. They drafted a guy Devin 835 00:45:41,840 --> 00:45:45,040 Speaker 1: a Chain from Texas A and m who is as 836 00:45:45,120 --> 00:45:47,960 Speaker 1: fast as they come, and what he will do is 837 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,520 Speaker 1: he'll compliment Raheem Mustered in the backfield, He'll compliment Jeff 838 00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,840 Speaker 1: Wilson in the backfield, and they will give people problems 839 00:45:55,840 --> 00:45:58,759 Speaker 1: with their billity to really use the running backs in 840 00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,800 Speaker 1: a variety of different ways in empty formation and spread 841 00:46:01,840 --> 00:46:05,040 Speaker 1: sets to create these favorable one on one matchups for 842 00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: two of to basically see the right matchup and pick 843 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 1: it apart. It is about creating and exploiting mismatches on 844 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,359 Speaker 1: the perimeter for the Miami Dolphins. And as I look 845 00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,680 Speaker 1: at Tua bounce it back and even though it was 846 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 1: a brief appearance, the man ball came out fast, it 847 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:22,640 Speaker 1: was on time, it was on target. Yes, he has 848 00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:26,200 Speaker 1: the interception, but when you go back, he's not really 849 00:46:26,200 --> 00:46:29,160 Speaker 1: a high interception guy. Last year he was twenty five 850 00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,880 Speaker 1: and twenty eight touchdown to interception ratio. He also didn't 851 00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 1: really take a lot of sacks. He only had twenty 852 00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,799 Speaker 1: one sacks. So this offense has been one where he 853 00:46:38,920 --> 00:46:41,360 Speaker 1: is being able to kind of manage and navigate it 854 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:46,160 Speaker 1: while still having the big play field and potential. Got 855 00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 1: average eight point nine yards per attempt, Like that's ridiculous production. 856 00:46:50,080 --> 00:46:52,880 Speaker 1: You don't see that that's normally that's like a college 857 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:54,879 Speaker 1: number where it's so high because you're able to get 858 00:46:54,880 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 1: these explosive plays. But the Dolphins have been able to 859 00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:01,560 Speaker 1: generate explosive plays because the fire power and weaponry they 860 00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:05,240 Speaker 1: have on the outside. Those big explosive plays aren't always 861 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,000 Speaker 1: on deep shots. A lot of times they're on underneath 862 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:09,759 Speaker 1: things where guys are catching it on the move and 863 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:13,760 Speaker 1: they're eluding invading traffic to turn the short gains into 864 00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 1: big games. And so I'm really bullish on the Dolphins 865 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,920 Speaker 1: and Tua till by loa. If Tua can stay upright, 866 00:47:22,120 --> 00:47:26,040 Speaker 1: if he can stay upright and avoid the big hitstead of, 867 00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,920 Speaker 1: let's be honest, cause them to have to consider and 868 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:36,160 Speaker 1: contemplate retirement. If he can avoid those big hits and 869 00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:40,239 Speaker 1: find a way to just stay out of harm's way. 870 00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:42,239 Speaker 1: I'm not saying we can put him in bubble raut, 871 00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:44,640 Speaker 1: but if he can stay out of harm's way and 872 00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:48,399 Speaker 1: just allow the weapons around him to do work, We've 873 00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,560 Speaker 1: seen this offense is as good as any in football, 874 00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:55,719 Speaker 1: and they will continue to challenge the teams in the 875 00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,880 Speaker 1: NFC East. They'll be right there neck connect with the Bills, 876 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:00,640 Speaker 1: who I believe are kind of coming back to the 877 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:04,560 Speaker 1: pack with the Patriots who are still struggling to find 878 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:09,120 Speaker 1: an identity, with the Hollywood New York Jets who have 879 00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:12,920 Speaker 1: gone Hollywood because everybody is on them. The glaring stuff 880 00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:15,920 Speaker 1: is on them in terms of hard knocks and that stuff. Look, 881 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,240 Speaker 1: the Miami Dolphins, you can make a case that they're 882 00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:20,600 Speaker 1: as good, if not better than any of those teams. 883 00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: And so if they play with Vic Fangio controlling that 884 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,000 Speaker 1: defense and that defense being more consistent, but they're not 885 00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,399 Speaker 1: allowing the big plays and they're creating pressure by being 886 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 1: disciplined and detailed in their rushlandes. Yeah, the Miami Dolphins 887 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 1: are going to be a problem. And it's one of 888 00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:39,840 Speaker 1: the reasons why in the AFC it's as wide opens 889 00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 1: as it can get. Despite the presence of the Kan 890 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 1: City Chiefs, who look, they lowered over their division and 891 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:50,719 Speaker 1: they won two out of the last four Super Bowls, 892 00:48:51,080 --> 00:48:56,080 Speaker 1: it's still wide open because as good as the Chiefs are, man, look, 893 00:48:56,160 --> 00:48:59,800 Speaker 1: it's tough sledding in the AFC. We'll see very quickly 894 00:49:00,239 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: how good this Miami Dolphins team is. They have an 895 00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,640 Speaker 1: opportunity to jump right into the mix out the gate, 896 00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: and if they're able to get off to a fast 897 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,080 Speaker 1: start and kind of put the pressure on the Chiefs 898 00:49:13,080 --> 00:49:16,000 Speaker 1: and others. They have a chance. Let's look at their 899 00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:18,440 Speaker 1: openings legs. So their first four games, they're on the 900 00:49:18,520 --> 00:49:21,760 Speaker 1: road against the LA Chargers, they're on the road against 901 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,640 Speaker 1: the New England Patriots, they play at home against the 902 00:49:23,680 --> 00:49:26,920 Speaker 1: Denver Broncos, and then they're back on the road against 903 00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:30,640 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. The reason why those four games that 904 00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,960 Speaker 1: first quarter of the season is important is one you're 905 00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:37,920 Speaker 1: dealing with, like out the gate, You're dealing with a 906 00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:40,279 Speaker 1: Charges team that is a playoff contender. They went to 907 00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:42,160 Speaker 1: the playoffs last year. They're gonna be in the conversation. 908 00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:44,560 Speaker 1: Their quarterback is as good as they come. It'll be 909 00:49:44,600 --> 00:49:48,600 Speaker 1: some storylines around Justin Herbert versus twoa tug about Lowa. 910 00:49:48,880 --> 00:49:51,479 Speaker 1: Did the Dolphins take the right guy? YadA, YadA, YadA, 911 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:53,920 Speaker 1: So they'll put some pressure in it. Justin got just 912 00:49:54,000 --> 00:49:57,480 Speaker 1: got paid. There'd be more conversation about two getting paid. 913 00:49:57,719 --> 00:49:59,680 Speaker 1: Does he deserve to get paid? If he does, how 914 00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,319 Speaker 1: do you the contract to protect the team all day ago. 915 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: Then they come right back and go to the New 916 00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,759 Speaker 1: England Patriots. That'd be an interesting game because the division game. 917 00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,239 Speaker 1: The Dolphins said, look, they played really well against the 918 00:50:09,280 --> 00:50:11,839 Speaker 1: Patriots the last few years, and so if they can 919 00:50:11,880 --> 00:50:15,480 Speaker 1: go snag a division win and start out like two 920 00:50:15,560 --> 00:50:18,399 Speaker 1: to zero, they're good. The home opener against the Denver 921 00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:21,080 Speaker 1: Broncos would be interesting because we have know more about 922 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: the relationship between Russell Wilson and Sean Payton. Can that 923 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:28,880 Speaker 1: offense function with an athlete playing the position as opposed 924 00:50:28,920 --> 00:50:33,200 Speaker 1: to a quick rhythm timing passer like Peyton had and 925 00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,759 Speaker 1: Andrew Brees. They're still trying to be working through some 926 00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:39,160 Speaker 1: of the rough spots, but it should be an opportunity 927 00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,600 Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins to jump on them at home 928 00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,600 Speaker 1: early game on CBS. And then the fourth when we 929 00:50:45,640 --> 00:50:48,359 Speaker 1: talk about breaking the season up in the quarters, going 930 00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 1: to Buffalo, second division opponent in the first four weeks, 931 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,520 Speaker 1: a team that is also changing because Sean McDermott is 932 00:50:55,560 --> 00:51:00,000 Speaker 1: taking over to play calling duties after Leslie Fraser decided 933 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,680 Speaker 1: to walk away from the game. Well, the Dolphins have 934 00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:07,120 Speaker 1: an opportunity to really man gain control of the division 935 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:11,800 Speaker 1: with two early division wins and potentially three wins against 936 00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:15,279 Speaker 1: AFC rivals. When you think about the tiebreak of scenarios, 937 00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,240 Speaker 1: the playoff seatings and those things. All of that stuff 938 00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: is invaluable, and I mean it looks critical that you're 939 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,399 Speaker 1: able to get that done. So going back to two 940 00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:27,799 Speaker 1: at Mike McDaniels, Mike McDaniels has to find a way 941 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,600 Speaker 1: to get too comfortable and ready to rock from the start. 942 00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:35,720 Speaker 1: That first month of the season is so important because 943 00:51:35,760 --> 00:51:38,840 Speaker 1: it sets the stage for how the Dolphins will finish it. 944 00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:41,440 Speaker 1: I know four games don't determine anything, but man, if 945 00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:43,200 Speaker 1: you start out in a hole, it is hard to 946 00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 1: dig yourself out of that hole and back into the contention. 947 00:51:46,800 --> 00:51:49,000 Speaker 1: And so a lot of it is hinging on to 948 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,480 Speaker 1: a tinge of our law's health, his availability, more important, 949 00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:56,040 Speaker 1: his efficiency and effectiveness from the pocket. He's done it once, 950 00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,520 Speaker 1: he did it last year. Can he do it again? 951 00:51:58,960 --> 00:52:02,160 Speaker 1: That's what everyone one we'll be waiting to see. But 952 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:06,239 Speaker 1: I think with uh the scheming that Mike McDaniels kind 953 00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:08,640 Speaker 1: of set up for him, and how they've used this 954 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:12,359 Speaker 1: offseason to add and enhance what they're doing, not only 955 00:52:12,440 --> 00:52:14,080 Speaker 1: at the line of scrimminal on the offense line, but 956 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,160 Speaker 1: really what they're doing and adding more speed to the backfield. 957 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:19,759 Speaker 1: They are going to play a game of chess with 958 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,360 Speaker 1: defensive coordinators on a you bliss them how you're going 959 00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:24,080 Speaker 1: to handle the speed that we have, not only on 960 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:26,839 Speaker 1: the perimeter, but coming out of the backfield. They are 961 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:31,759 Speaker 1: going to create these mismatched opportunities to make life miserable 962 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,040 Speaker 1: for defensive coordinators around the league. If you ask me 963 00:52:35,160 --> 00:52:42,759 Speaker 1: how that that that division shakes out, it's tough, But 964 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 1: I'm I think I think if I have to put 965 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,200 Speaker 1: him in order, I think it's gonna be a situation 966 00:52:47,239 --> 00:52:52,759 Speaker 1: where maybe Dolphins, Jets, Bills than Patriots. Don't hate me 967 00:52:52,800 --> 00:52:55,319 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, so I hate me Bills Mafia. But I 968 00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:59,359 Speaker 1: just see the Miami Dolphins as I look, the best 969 00:52:59,360 --> 00:53:02,320 Speaker 1: team in this vision, with Fangio and Mike ben Daniels 970 00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:06,280 Speaker 1: teaming up, the running game complementing the defense, the defense 971 00:53:06,320 --> 00:53:08,160 Speaker 1: being able to play at a high level because Fangio 972 00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:10,600 Speaker 1: is not going to give up the easies, and really 973 00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 1: that pass rush. As much as I love to just 974 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,000 Speaker 1: pass rush, I mean it's a pretty difficult pass rush 975 00:53:16,040 --> 00:53:17,680 Speaker 1: to deal with that in Miami. When you look at 976 00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:23,479 Speaker 1: Jalen Phillips, Bradley Chubb, you have Christian Wilkins, on the side. 977 00:53:23,520 --> 00:53:27,120 Speaker 1: I mean, they can create some problems for opponents at 978 00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. And if you know Vic Fangio, 979 00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,320 Speaker 1: you know they're gonna rush for they're gonna drop seven, 980 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: they gonna play matchup zones, they're gonna not allow the 981 00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:37,640 Speaker 1: ball to flower the head, and they're going to make 982 00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:40,520 Speaker 1: you nickel and diamond down the field. And most teams 983 00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 1: aren't good enough to be able to get that part done. 984 00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:47,799 Speaker 1: So you're asking me right now. AFC East Favors got 985 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,719 Speaker 1: to be the Miami Dolphins. So we'll see. We got time. 986 00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:53,000 Speaker 1: I got time to change my prediction. I know. That's it. 987 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:55,360 Speaker 1: That's just that's the beauty of the preseason. What I 988 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,279 Speaker 1: say today like I may have a change of heart 989 00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:01,600 Speaker 1: when it comes down to it.

Yeah he does. Hopefully 1014 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:18,920 Speaker 1: it doesn't cancel too much. I know, I know. It's 1015 00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:20,960 Speaker 1: a big soccer, big soccer weekend for you. 1016 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,480 Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean they wiped out the day of 1017 00:55:23,560 --> 00:55:27,800 Speaker 2: games for us pretty early last night. So a couple 1018 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 2: of dominating wins for my daughter's squad yesterday and then 1019 00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:35,279 Speaker 2: they get home it's like, yeah, Sundays are canceled. Here's 1020 00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 2: the big, bold proclamation, and all across this land you'll 1021 00:55:39,120 --> 00:55:42,040 Speaker 2: have some fighting. There was one I got a note 1022 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,680 Speaker 2: where someone was one of the parents was trying to 1023 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:48,160 Speaker 2: fight it, not from our squad, but from another squad, 1024 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:50,440 Speaker 2: kind of saying, well, what are we doing now? We 1025 00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,480 Speaker 2: can't play in any rain? Like sure you could be 1026 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,040 Speaker 2: out there like the priest in Caddy Shack, have at it. 1027 00:55:58,400 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 2: I know it's all for my life. 1028 00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:05,120 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I know. Yeah, it's look at 1029 00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,400 Speaker 1: the weather is a challenge. I think that's what we 1030 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 1: talk about is the Southern California tax. We don't hey, 1031 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,360 Speaker 1: we don't pay what we pay to live out in 1032 00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:16,080 Speaker 1: Southern California to deal with that's not supposed to be a harm. 1033 00:56:16,160 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 2: And nobody knows how to do it when it does 1034 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:19,120 Speaker 2: actually show up. 1035 00:56:19,719 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 1: Oh no, it's not gonna be a great thing now, 1036 00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,880 Speaker 1: Like the traffic is gonna be miserable because like we 1037 00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:25,920 Speaker 1: don't have the best drivers in that situation. 1038 00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:28,399 Speaker 2: We don't have best drivers on a on a day 1039 00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:31,000 Speaker 2: to day basis. Who are we kidding? Uh, Mike carbon 1040 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,600 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks with you here. Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports 1041 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,799 Speaker 2: Radio Live from the Tyraq dot Com studios. Heard you 1042 00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:41,319 Speaker 2: going through your AFC East and a little bit of 1043 00:56:41,360 --> 00:56:44,360 Speaker 2: love to the Miami Dolphins. I do have a suggestion 1044 00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 2: for to a tongue of Ilawa. 1045 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 1: What's your suggested? 1046 00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: Remember those old toys that you would hit on the 1047 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 2: bottom where your legs would buckle, You know that move 1048 00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:57,319 Speaker 2: Peyton Manning made so famous for all those years uh 1049 00:56:57,480 --> 00:57:01,080 Speaker 2: quarterbacking for the Colts. I hey, there's a free runner. 1050 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,320 Speaker 2: I'm just going down. I'll live to see another play. 1051 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,839 Speaker 2: That's what Tua needs to do. That instinct. We talk 1052 00:57:06,880 --> 00:57:09,760 Speaker 2: about how guys need to slide all the time, stop 1053 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:12,760 Speaker 2: fighting for the extra yard along the sideline and get down, 1054 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,719 Speaker 2: get out whatever h that I think is the move 1055 00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:19,000 Speaker 2: to go forward Bucky to keep him upright for the 1056 00:57:19,080 --> 00:57:20,400 Speaker 2: duration of a season. 1057 00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,760 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, like he has to. He has to figure 1058 00:57:23,840 --> 00:57:26,040 Speaker 1: that part out, like that has to be a part 1059 00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:29,200 Speaker 1: of the equation. How can I stay upright? What can 1060 00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 1: I do to be available to my team? And so 1061 00:57:33,040 --> 00:57:34,680 Speaker 1: the only way he is going to be able to 1062 00:57:35,040 --> 00:57:37,240 Speaker 1: do that is he has to avoid his Peyton Manning 1063 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:41,000 Speaker 1: was Peyton man and Tom Brady. We're both the best 1064 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,400 Speaker 1: at it when it came to it, like just being 1065 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,200 Speaker 1: able to look the down is done. I'm not taking 1066 00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:50,200 Speaker 1: this hit. I'm not turning it over. I'll just take 1067 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,400 Speaker 1: a name boop down in the pocket. We'll live and 1068 00:57:52,400 --> 00:57:56,800 Speaker 1: play another one. Self preservation is everything at quarterback. 1069 00:57:58,360 --> 00:58:01,600 Speaker 2: Well, that's something you're watching grow there. We got to 1070 00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,320 Speaker 2: go to the Jaguars because my guy, Trevor Lawrence went 1071 00:58:05,360 --> 00:58:08,640 Speaker 2: out of his way to well, he lifted word for 1072 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:12,480 Speaker 2: word from the greatness of Rick Flair. To be the best, 1073 00:58:12,520 --> 00:58:14,480 Speaker 2: you got to beat the best. And we look at 1074 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:20,440 Speaker 2: a crowded AFC picture, including those aforementioned Dolphins, the Jets 1075 00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:22,240 Speaker 2: with all the hype. We'll get back into them a 1076 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 2: little later on in the show. But Trevor Lawrence in 1077 00:58:26,280 --> 00:58:29,560 Speaker 2: year two, now, Doug Peterson, you bring in Calvin Ridley, 1078 00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:32,720 Speaker 2: You've got etn in the backfield. I'm looking at a 1079 00:58:32,760 --> 00:58:37,400 Speaker 2: squad in that AFC South Division. Bucky, I think you're 1080 00:58:37,400 --> 00:58:39,560 Speaker 2: going to get to smile on a lot of Sundays. 1081 00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:42,720 Speaker 2: What have you seen in what you've been watching with 1082 00:58:43,040 --> 00:58:45,840 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. What's the difference year two with Peterson? 1083 00:58:46,720 --> 00:58:50,440 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I will say. This team is loaded offensively, 1084 00:58:51,160 --> 00:58:53,880 Speaker 1: they have the potential, and I've said this on record, 1085 00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:55,360 Speaker 1: I believe they could be the six team in the 1086 00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:58,959 Speaker 1: NFL history to have three one thousand yard receivers. Now, 1087 00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:02,120 Speaker 1: if you ask me which I would say, Calvin Ridley 1088 00:59:02,160 --> 00:59:03,760 Speaker 1: Christian Kirk would be the first two, and then you 1089 00:59:03,840 --> 00:59:05,640 Speaker 1: got to figure out if it's gonna be Evan Ingram 1090 00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,960 Speaker 1: or is a Jones, but they have that kind of 1091 00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:12,680 Speaker 1: potential on the outside to create and exploit mismatches all 1092 00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:15,400 Speaker 1: around the perimeter. And then with Trevor Lawrence, what you 1093 00:59:15,520 --> 00:59:17,560 Speaker 1: have is a guy who's really coming to his own 1094 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:21,000 Speaker 1: in his second season under Doug Peterson, he has more 1095 00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,680 Speaker 1: command of the offense. He has more control of the offense, 1096 00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:25,680 Speaker 1: and so he has more confidence in terms of what 1097 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,520 Speaker 1: he's doing. He knows the offense, he knows what is 1098 00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:31,400 Speaker 1: being asked of him. Each time they bring in a 1099 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,000 Speaker 1: play call, he understands. He can as he would say, 1100 00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:36,240 Speaker 1: I can visualize it now when the play call comes 1101 00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:39,840 Speaker 1: in where I'm supposed to go with the football, And 1102 00:59:40,200 --> 00:59:43,439 Speaker 1: part of that enables him to get to the second, third, 1103 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,439 Speaker 1: and sometimes fourth option. Other out when you're a young 1104 00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:47,920 Speaker 1: guy man, you get to one to two then you're 1105 00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:49,720 Speaker 1: looking the bail out, trying to get out the cockpit. 1106 00:59:49,880 --> 00:59:52,960 Speaker 1: Likes to getting too crazy, but he now is willing 1107 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,520 Speaker 1: to sit in there and make it happen. Two weeks 1108 00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: ago the first preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, he 1109 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,720 Speaker 1: had Christian Kirk coming across the field down into red 1110 01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:05,560 Speaker 1: zone on a deep over man. Christian Kirk wasn't first 1111 01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:07,640 Speaker 1: a second in that progression, but Trevor was able to 1112 01:00:07,640 --> 01:00:09,680 Speaker 1: get his eyes to him, wave him to the other 1113 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 1: side and do it. You'll see more of that from Trevor, 1114 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:17,240 Speaker 1: and the extra stuff will allow Trevor to creep in 1115 01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,240 Speaker 1: to that top five when we talk about the best 1116 01:00:19,240 --> 01:00:21,760 Speaker 1: five players at the position. He'll not going to do 1117 01:00:21,800 --> 01:00:24,080 Speaker 1: it this year. I think people have a great appreciation 1118 01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 1: for his talent, his toughness in his game after they 1119 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,560 Speaker 1: watched the Jaguars this season. 1120 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 2: A lot of celebration of him coming into the preseason, 1121 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,200 Speaker 2: no question about it, because we look at that division 1122 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:37,880 Speaker 2: as it stands, Bucky and I mean Anthony Richardson getting 1123 01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:42,000 Speaker 2: a lot of publicity and everything. Look for these rookie quarterbacks. 1124 01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:45,400 Speaker 2: Every throw they've made in the preseason scrutinized to the 1125 01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,720 Speaker 2: highest of levels. I like that he showed up to 1126 01:00:47,800 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 2: the game against the Bears rocking a varsity jacket, commemorating 1127 01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,760 Speaker 2: the Colts win over the Bears in the Super Bowl. 1128 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,720 Speaker 2: Not that I want to remember the Rex Grossman led 1129 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 2: Bears down there in Miami, Devin Haster with that huge 1130 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:03,680 Speaker 2: moment and the biggest thing out of that game being 1131 01:01:03,760 --> 01:01:07,280 Speaker 2: print singing Purple Rain in the Rain. But for Anthony 1132 01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,240 Speaker 2: Richardson a lot of expectations, Jim Rsey talking about Jonathan Taylor, Oh, 1133 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:16,120 Speaker 2: he'll be back, going through some stuff and trying to 1134 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:20,720 Speaker 2: get him back in the fold. Houston in full rebuild mode. 1135 01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 2: And then Tennessee, we have absolutely no idea. I don't 1136 01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,800 Speaker 2: think what to expect there because Ryan Tannehill is a 1137 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:32,840 Speaker 2: guy they seem to be destined to move on from. 1138 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,920 Speaker 2: Yet you've tried to build up your wide receiving corps. 1139 01:01:35,920 --> 01:01:38,000 Speaker 2: I know Traylon Burks is going to miss some time 1140 01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:41,280 Speaker 2: because of an injury, but so long as King Henry 1141 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:44,400 Speaker 2: is upright, you've got a puncher's chance to slow things 1142 01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:46,880 Speaker 2: down for ver able to get some w's. But it 1143 01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 2: looks like everything's there for a coronation and a return 1144 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,480 Speaker 2: run to the for the Jaguars to the playoffs. 1145 01:01:54,440 --> 01:01:57,120 Speaker 1: Oh, it absolutely is there. Division is set up for 1146 01:01:57,200 --> 01:02:01,000 Speaker 1: them to be able to kind of reign supreme. You 1147 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,280 Speaker 1: have a bunch of young quarterbacks that are playing right. 1148 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: You have Anthony Richson in Indianapolis, you have CG. Strout 1149 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: playing in Houston. Ryan Tannehill will play, but you have 1150 01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:11,400 Speaker 1: those young guys around them, and so it always starts 1151 01:02:11,440 --> 01:02:13,880 Speaker 1: at quarterback. And the best quarterback in the vision is 1152 01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,720 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. And so when I when I look around 1153 01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:18,640 Speaker 1: the division and I look at what the Colts are 1154 01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,760 Speaker 1: attempting to do, right to me, if Anthony Richson was 1155 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: going to be the player, the last thing that I 1156 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:27,160 Speaker 1: would try and do is mess around with the running back. 1157 01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,400 Speaker 1: You know, Jonathan Taylor is a proven dude in this league. 1158 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,240 Speaker 1: We've seen him play at a high level in the league. 1159 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:34,400 Speaker 1: The last thing I would do is say, you know, 1160 01:02:34,440 --> 01:02:36,440 Speaker 1: you're not really valuable. If you're here, you hear, if 1161 01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,440 Speaker 1: you're not, you're not, So you could be upset. 1162 01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:43,440 Speaker 2: You didn't like that quote. I like that someone actually 1163 01:02:43,480 --> 01:02:45,640 Speaker 2: went on record said the quiet part out loud. 1164 01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:45,919 Speaker 1: Though. 1165 01:02:46,280 --> 01:02:48,840 Speaker 2: It's like we'll get into James Harden a little later. 1166 01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,480 Speaker 2: On in the show just to divert from the NFL 1167 01:02:52,520 --> 01:02:54,640 Speaker 2: for a minute. But I appreciate guys that are like, 1168 01:02:54,680 --> 01:02:58,200 Speaker 2: this is what hey, I'm just gonna say it, okay, 1169 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,280 Speaker 2: especially like the hard part and this has got to 1170 01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,200 Speaker 2: be behind the scenes that helps build this all out though, 1171 01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:06,720 Speaker 2: Bucky is that Taylor is coming off a season he 1172 01:03:06,760 --> 01:03:10,640 Speaker 2: only played eleven games, so you're not operating as well 1173 01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,720 Speaker 2: as he played as many big plays and we know 1174 01:03:14,040 --> 01:03:18,520 Speaker 2: in theory how much of a big time contributor he 1175 01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:22,240 Speaker 2: is to everything. You're not operating from a position of 1176 01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,760 Speaker 2: strength if you miss over a third of the season 1177 01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:26,720 Speaker 2: and you're a running. 1178 01:03:26,440 --> 01:03:30,440 Speaker 1: Back, no, because you already have I mean, you already 1179 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,320 Speaker 1: have everything. Kind of Look, the scales are against you, 1180 01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,240 Speaker 1: right like people have already decided that you're not as 1181 01:03:37,360 --> 01:03:40,360 Speaker 1: valuable as some of the others, and so it's one 1182 01:03:40,360 --> 01:03:43,000 Speaker 1: of those things that you know you got to fight against. 1183 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:47,560 Speaker 1: And so your health, your ability to be available is critical. 1184 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,360 Speaker 1: I mean it really is. It is critical to be 1185 01:03:51,440 --> 01:03:56,720 Speaker 1: able to have you know, you're running back, being able 1186 01:03:56,760 --> 01:03:59,000 Speaker 1: to do it time and time again. It just gives 1187 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:03,880 Speaker 1: you a chance to make things happen, and you just 1188 01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:07,120 Speaker 1: have to be able to be available so that you 1189 01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:10,840 Speaker 1: can look be the dependable, the workhorse back, the one 1190 01:04:10,880 --> 01:04:15,520 Speaker 1: that you can rely on. And so we'll see. Man 1191 01:04:15,560 --> 01:04:19,600 Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor, I'm still hopeful and optimistic that they'll 1192 01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:20,920 Speaker 1: be able to bring him in the fold, that they 1193 01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:24,160 Speaker 1: can kind of make this like water under the bridge. 1194 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 1: But yeah, man, he wants to get paid and he 1195 01:04:26,280 --> 01:04:28,720 Speaker 1: kind of sees it. And even if the Colts were 1196 01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: going to say take de tactic that, yeah, we're not 1197 01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:34,160 Speaker 1: gonna pay running backs, man, like you might want to 1198 01:04:34,200 --> 01:04:36,440 Speaker 1: just communicate that with him on the front end so 1199 01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:40,520 Speaker 1: you won't get his feelings, yeah, or you know, like 1200 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:42,720 Speaker 1: just say here's here's where we're at, here's how we 1201 01:04:42,720 --> 01:04:44,440 Speaker 1: feel about running backs and those things, and then the 1202 01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:46,360 Speaker 1: other thing that you're going to do, because all these 1203 01:04:46,400 --> 01:04:48,760 Speaker 1: things have to be planned out. If you're not going 1204 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,560 Speaker 1: to pay the running back, then you probably should have 1205 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: drafted a running back this year as he's entering you 1206 01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,680 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, like the last year of his deal, 1207 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,800 Speaker 1: because in that way he knows, hey, man, who's this dude, 1208 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:00,760 Speaker 1: who's this dude? This you went up in the seat 1209 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:04,480 Speaker 1: behind me, I'm your replacement, and that that's just a reality, 1210 01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:05,840 Speaker 1: and you make it very clear like that. 1211 01:05:06,760 --> 01:05:11,560 Speaker 2: But Evan Hale out of Northwestern isn't scaring him. Zach 1212 01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:14,240 Speaker 2: Moss coming over from Buffalo after not being able to 1213 01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:16,320 Speaker 2: take that job for the last couple of years. Now, 1214 01:05:16,960 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 2: I agree with you. It's just the URS tact event. 1215 01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,640 Speaker 2: I mean, you coach young men at the high school level. 1216 01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:26,920 Speaker 2: You've been around this game a minute your years in 1217 01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:30,200 Speaker 2: the NFL. I mean, not every guy's responding the same 1218 01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,720 Speaker 2: way to how you approach right. I was talking to 1219 01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:37,080 Speaker 2: my daughter's coach about this, just dealing with the temperament, 1220 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,600 Speaker 2: and you know how they respond to just being called 1221 01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:43,160 Speaker 2: out on a play or at a practice or whatever, 1222 01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:45,720 Speaker 2: or how they're going to respond to the extra twenty 1223 01:05:45,760 --> 01:05:47,680 Speaker 2: minutes of work, you know, when they've got to play 1224 01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 2: a second game in a day. Same thing here is, 1225 01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,160 Speaker 2: you got to you got to be able to read 1226 01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:54,640 Speaker 2: the room and know how what that's going to do 1227 01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,560 Speaker 2: to a locker room. And if you're Anthony Richardson, you're like, 1228 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,720 Speaker 2: that's the one thing that we had for sure. As 1229 01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:03,200 Speaker 2: much as we like Michael Pittman at times or Alec 1230 01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:05,920 Speaker 2: Pierce at times or or some of what's in that 1231 01:06:06,040 --> 01:06:09,840 Speaker 2: receiving game. It really has all begun and ended the 1232 01:06:09,960 --> 01:06:12,520 Speaker 2: last few years with Jonathan Taylor. Now that's been a 1233 01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:16,960 Speaker 2: lot of ursa uh and the general manager guessing at 1234 01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 2: veteran quarterbacks that can't complete a forward pass. And selfishly, 1235 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:25,160 Speaker 2: I was really hoping that minshew mania would continue, uh 1236 01:06:25,200 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 2: for a little while here, and Richardson would would sit 1237 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,720 Speaker 2: behind if just I mean, it's just a guilty pleasure 1238 01:06:30,760 --> 01:06:35,560 Speaker 2: Bucky at this point watching minshoot after it. But if 1239 01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 2: you're if you're gonna install the kid, uh and give 1240 01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:42,440 Speaker 2: him the job from and look he was surprised about it, 1241 01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:47,240 Speaker 2: which I also thought the honesty there, I don't know, 1242 01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:51,720 Speaker 2: I'm surprised. I'm starting, wouldn't wouldn't thought you wouldn't have 1243 01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,320 Speaker 2: thought you'd have a number one quarterback admitting to that 1244 01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,080 Speaker 2: kind of circumstance either. 1245 01:06:57,040 --> 01:07:00,480 Speaker 1: Oh no, I mean like that's there's a lot of 1246 01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:00,920 Speaker 1: a lot. 1247 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Of questions over there. Shane Steichen's It's like he said, 1248 01:07:03,720 --> 01:07:05,600 Speaker 2: surprise your QB. 1249 01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:10,440 Speaker 1: One his yeah, his his mission that oh oh oh, 1250 01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,640 Speaker 1: I'm starting for real. It was a little it was 1251 01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:16,720 Speaker 1: a little surprising, but well, I mean you understand how 1252 01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,520 Speaker 1: they goes, uh, you know, you're number, you're their first pick, 1253 01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:23,920 Speaker 1: your fourth overall, Yeah, you're going to play. That's just 1254 01:07:23,960 --> 01:07:27,040 Speaker 1: the reality of it. Garna Minshu. You understood, he's his organization. 1255 01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:28,400 Speaker 1: That's how it goes. 1256 01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm a believer if if a guy's 1257 01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 2: not ready, he's not ready. But I'm also long on 1258 01:07:35,200 --> 01:07:40,160 Speaker 2: record of if a guy goes in struggles and you 1259 01:07:40,280 --> 01:07:43,800 Speaker 2: yank him, if you quote lose him, then he was 1260 01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,560 Speaker 2: never going to be your guy. Oh true, right, the 1261 01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:49,680 Speaker 2: mental makeup is not there. Like if if Richardson plays 1262 01:07:49,720 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 2: three games and it's an abject failure, whether Taylor's there 1263 01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:56,520 Speaker 2: or not, and you decide, for his sake, for what 1264 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 2: you're seeing on tape, that it's better to pull In 1265 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 2: off the field, let Minshew get some reps. And again 1266 01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:06,240 Speaker 2: it becomes a choice of what you think twenty twenty 1267 01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:09,919 Speaker 2: three has to be. But if your immediate response is yeah, 1268 01:08:10,360 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 2: I don't know, if we pull him, we're gonna lose him. 1269 01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:15,160 Speaker 2: Like it's a line of thought that I've hated for 1270 01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:17,839 Speaker 2: as long as I've been in this business and listening 1271 01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:21,479 Speaker 2: to commentary on football. It's just any walk of life. 1272 01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 2: If you pull something away from someone for a learning experience, 1273 01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 2: and the thought is, well, you're never gonna get him back. 1274 01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:31,360 Speaker 2: They're never going to have the resolve and fight back 1275 01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,160 Speaker 2: and be able to achieve. Then you might as well 1276 01:08:35,200 --> 01:08:36,880 Speaker 2: not have drafted him. And that should have been part 1277 01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:40,520 Speaker 2: of your pre draft determination in some of your questioning 1278 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,320 Speaker 2: that he would fold. From all accounts, he's a great 1279 01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,080 Speaker 2: kid and they have to throw him off the field 1280 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:49,080 Speaker 2: because he wants to sign an autograph for everybody that 1281 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,200 Speaker 2: wants a picture, that wants an autograph whatever, like immersing 1282 01:08:52,240 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 2: himself in that community. So I don't believe he's that guy. 1283 01:08:56,160 --> 01:09:01,160 Speaker 2: But off the jump, I just thought the admission was freshing, like, oh, 1284 01:09:01,240 --> 01:09:05,280 Speaker 2: I've got the job now, but also a little concerning 1285 01:09:05,320 --> 01:09:07,440 Speaker 2: as to how they're operating in Indianapolis. 1286 01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think, Look, I think it's I 1287 01:09:10,640 --> 01:09:14,320 Speaker 1: think it is concerning in terms of like the operation 1288 01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 1: in you. Look, you just want to treat you guys right, 1289 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 1: And so if you're going to do this, and if 1290 01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:23,040 Speaker 1: you're going to do it with a young quarterback, the 1291 01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,640 Speaker 1: running game and the running back is is important. The 1292 01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,720 Speaker 1: better the quarterback, the lesser the need to have a 1293 01:09:28,760 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 1: high end running back. That's that's my view on it. 1294 01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:33,160 Speaker 1: If I have an A level quarterback, then I can 1295 01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 1: get away with b's and c's at running back. But 1296 01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:39,120 Speaker 1: if I have an incomplete at quarterback or a C 1297 01:09:39,880 --> 01:09:42,400 Speaker 1: or lower, well, now I need a B or A. 1298 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:45,400 Speaker 1: I need an A running back to balance it out, 1299 01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,400 Speaker 1: to offset and alleviate some of the pressure on the quarterback. 1300 01:09:48,439 --> 01:09:51,000 Speaker 1: And so you want to get Jonathan Taylor there. You 1301 01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:53,960 Speaker 1: want them happy and healthy and ready to rock. And 1302 01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,639 Speaker 1: then you want him to be there for maybe two 1303 01:09:56,680 --> 01:10:00,439 Speaker 1: to three years until Anthony Richardson is fully allowed to 1304 01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 1: stand on his own. And so I understand the arguments 1305 01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,920 Speaker 1: that some make about the devaluation of running back and 1306 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 1: don't pay him. Okay, well I would say if you 1307 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:12,360 Speaker 1: don't want to pay them like big money, then you 1308 01:10:12,360 --> 01:10:15,960 Speaker 1: should draft them higher. See because in theory, if you 1309 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:19,559 Speaker 1: draft a running back high, you now control him for 1310 01:10:19,640 --> 01:10:22,600 Speaker 1: seven years. Many you get five years because with the 1311 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,280 Speaker 1: fifth year option in two franchise stacks, at that point, 1312 01:10:25,320 --> 01:10:28,760 Speaker 1: any running back when you hit seven to eight, they're 1313 01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:30,400 Speaker 1: falling off a cliff. So you don't have to do 1314 01:10:30,439 --> 01:10:32,840 Speaker 1: it when you draft them lower. Even if you get 1315 01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,160 Speaker 1: like the retreads and the people just talk about the fifth, 1316 01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:39,439 Speaker 1: sixth seventh round and four years. You have to pay them, Harmon, 1317 01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:42,200 Speaker 1: like you have to, like that's what it is. They 1318 01:10:42,200 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: don't have the fifth year option, they don't have all 1319 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 1: those other things. So to me, go ahead and spend 1320 01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,400 Speaker 1: the money like you have or like you're doing in 1321 01:10:49,479 --> 01:10:51,479 Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor even though he's not a first round pick. 1322 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:54,120 Speaker 1: But pay him on a short term deal, keep him 1323 01:10:54,160 --> 01:10:56,880 Speaker 1: around until Anthony Richardson is able to be the stabilizing 1324 01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:58,160 Speaker 1: force within their organization. 1325 01:10:58,479 --> 01:11:01,760 Speaker 2: Get you buy a little bit more time and control 1326 01:11:02,479 --> 01:11:04,880 Speaker 2: as you go through.

Spain getting their goal in the two twenty 1347 01:12:00,240 --> 01:12:02,760 Speaker 2: ninth minute on from Olga Carmona. They had a chance 1348 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:04,920 Speaker 2: to take a two nil lead about i'd say ten 1349 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:07,479 Speaker 2: or fifteen minutes ago penalty kick, but a nice saved 1350 01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:11,160 Speaker 2: by the English goalkeeper kept it at one nil.

Scary 1352 01:12:15,120 --> 01:12:18,559 Speaker 2: moment in the NFL preseason yesterday, the Patriots and Packers 1353 01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,080 Speaker 2: had their preseason game called off in the fourth quarter 1354 01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:23,840 Speaker 2: after Isaiah Bullen took a hit from a teammate that 1355 01:12:23,960 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 2: left him a mobilizer that required him to be carted 1356 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:28,439 Speaker 2: off on a stretcher.

Stop looking at Mookie 1442 01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:18,519 Speaker 2: Bets being celebrated by Lebron James on Lebron James Bobblehead Night, 1443 01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:21,280 Speaker 2: and pay attention to us, pay attention to us and 1444 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:24,439 Speaker 2: love us. It is just a crazy time in Major 1445 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:27,519 Speaker 2: League Baseball. But it's winning time, which we should not 1446 01:17:27,640 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 2: forget just because we've got more pig skin to break 1447 01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:33,200 Speaker 2: down and watch on a daily basis. 1448 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is winning time. And so when you think 1449 01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,360 Speaker 1: about the Dodgers, I'm really amazed at the Dodgers, like 1450 01:17:39,400 --> 01:17:41,800 Speaker 1: belovels of consistency. Going into the year, it was all 1451 01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:44,479 Speaker 1: about the Padres and this and that, and for the 1452 01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,120 Speaker 1: Dodgers to kind of respond and to do what they 1453 01:17:47,160 --> 01:17:48,960 Speaker 1: do to put themselves in a position to do what 1454 01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:50,800 Speaker 1: they've always done and get into the playoffs and then 1455 01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,600 Speaker 1: just see what happens. I'm excited for it. 1456 01:17:52,600 --> 01:17:55,120 Speaker 2: It's a Dodger fan nine to one in their last 1457 01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:59,640 Speaker 2: ten games. You talked about the Padres getting swept in 1458 01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:03,719 Speaker 2: their doubleheader. They're now eighteen games back in the division, 1459 01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:08,240 Speaker 2: eighteen games back, and you look at the Dodgers now 1460 01:18:08,240 --> 01:18:12,240 Speaker 2: getting healthy, Kershaw, a couple of starts lance Lynn acquired 1461 01:18:12,240 --> 01:18:14,639 Speaker 2: from the White Sox. A lot of talk about culture, 1462 01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:17,439 Speaker 2: and that's something we'll talk about as related to this 1463 01:18:17,640 --> 01:18:20,960 Speaker 2: NFL season, Bucky. We did a little bit with Indianapolis, 1464 01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:24,440 Speaker 2: a little bit with what you got cooking there in Jacksonville. 1465 01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:28,479 Speaker 2: But lance Lynn shows up here in Los Angeles and 1466 01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,439 Speaker 2: he's pitched to a one, four to four er. You 1467 01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:34,720 Speaker 2: expect him to eat innings. But he's been absolutely dominant, 1468 01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:38,559 Speaker 2: working late into games and anytime you can take the hey, 1469 01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 2: the manager doesn't have to drift between four relievers in 1470 01:18:42,479 --> 01:18:46,880 Speaker 2: a game. That's just a huge win series to series 1471 01:18:46,880 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 2: if you've got a guy that can anchor that, particularly 1472 01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:51,240 Speaker 2: as you're waiting for some of your other starters to 1473 01:18:51,280 --> 01:18:54,599 Speaker 2: get healthy. So you look at Martinez, you look at Bets, 1474 01:18:54,640 --> 01:18:57,640 Speaker 2: you look at Freeman. They're your anchors. And it's an 1475 01:18:57,680 --> 01:19:00,600 Speaker 2: exciting ride because on paper, as you said, this was 1476 01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 2: not expected to be such a dominant squad. 1477 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:08,000 Speaker 1: No, it wasn't, and so it's all gravy and look, man, 1478 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:11,400 Speaker 1: just is this amazing to me the performances they're getting. 1479 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:12,760 Speaker 1: And I know people say, oh wait, they get the 1480 01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 1: best rostered and money come out. Yeah, but then you 1481 01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:15,920 Speaker 1: got to get people to play up to the level 1482 01:19:15,960 --> 01:19:18,439 Speaker 1: of compensation. The protection has to match, and they've been 1483 01:19:18,439 --> 01:19:20,680 Speaker 1: able to do that. So look, it's a good look. 1484 01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:21,920 Speaker 1: But it's only the first half of the year. 1485 01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:24,759 Speaker 2: Well, but that's the other part of it. Bucky Dodgers 1486 01:19:24,800 --> 01:19:28,320 Speaker 2: with another great regular season. Where have we seen this before? 1487 01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:31,360 Speaker 2: We'll see if they can continue as we roll through 1488 01:19:31,479 --> 01:19:35,479 Speaker 2: into the playoffs back into the NFL. We've seen a 1489 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,519 Speaker 2: change in preseason games. Maybe Bucky's got the reason why. 1490 01:19:39,600 --> 01:19:44,080 Speaker 2: Next on Fox, Greetings and welcome in another hour here 1491 01:19:44,320 --> 01:19:48,559 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Sunday, Fox Sports or Radio live from the 1492 01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:51,800 Speaker 2: tyrack dot com studios tyrack dot com.

An interesting time 1502 01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:22,559 Speaker 1: for Show. 1503 01:20:22,640 --> 01:20:26,720 Speaker 2: Plus thirteen was the extra time injury at top. I've 1504 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 2: never seen here in the World Cup final. 1505 01:20:28,920 --> 01:20:31,519 Speaker 1: I've never seen that much time at it. I've never 1506 01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,600 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever seen double digits add it. 1507 01:20:34,080 --> 01:20:36,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, no, it's it's insane. We were talking about a 1508 01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:41,160 Speaker 2: stat from earlier. Now, Spain scored fairly early in this one. 1509 01:20:41,880 --> 01:20:43,920 Speaker 2: You had to stop from the English keeper in the 1510 01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,720 Speaker 2: seventieth minute to keep it one nil. Uh, but they 1511 01:20:46,720 --> 01:20:49,120 Speaker 2: had in their last two games scored a total of 1512 01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,080 Speaker 2: six goals in the eighty first minute or later. The 1513 01:20:52,360 --> 01:20:54,760 Speaker 2: wait for it, wait for it all right at my 1514 01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:59,280 Speaker 2: signal unleash hell uh so late corner kick coming up 1515 01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:01,840 Speaker 2: from England. I'm just so immersed in this. I was 1516 01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:05,759 Speaker 2: on my Apple TV last night watching MESSI and inner 1517 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:09,120 Speaker 2: Miami win in penalty kicks when the goalies have to 1518 01:21:09,160 --> 01:21:12,759 Speaker 2: get involved. That's how far it got. You don't often 1519 01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:17,040 Speaker 2: see penalty kicks get to the eleventh man, so that's 1520 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:22,400 Speaker 2: a final. The keeper corrals, the corner kick falls to 1521 01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:26,800 Speaker 2: the turf, and the whistle sounds. Spain is your twenty 1522 01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:32,160 Speaker 2: twenty three FIFA Women's World Cup champion over England after 1523 01:21:32,320 --> 01:21:37,320 Speaker 2: a very long and protracted battle with the extra thirteen 1524 01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,519 Speaker 2: plus minutes of extra time.

Since we talk 1529 01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:56,479 Speaker 2: about playing a little bit of extra football, let's talk 1530 01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,799 Speaker 2: about playing a little bit of extra football here, Bucky Brooks. 1531 01:22:00,040 --> 01:22:02,760 Speaker 2: Because the pendulum seems to have swung back, at least 1532 01:22:02,760 --> 01:22:07,040 Speaker 2: towards the middle as far as coaches are concerned related 1533 01:22:07,080 --> 01:22:10,559 Speaker 2: to playing starters and getting them reps in games. For 1534 01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:13,200 Speaker 2: a couple of years, everybody moved in the direction of 1535 01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,960 Speaker 2: Sean McVay saying, ah, we don't need that. We got 1536 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,880 Speaker 2: enough work, we'll get in. We'll get him, get him on, 1537 01:22:18,920 --> 01:22:21,080 Speaker 2: get him over, get him in, and with great success. 1538 01:22:21,120 --> 01:22:24,800 Speaker 2: It looked like the boy genius had everything cooking. As 1539 01:22:24,800 --> 01:22:27,160 Speaker 2: we talked about last year, things got tough and for 1540 01:22:27,200 --> 01:22:30,160 Speaker 2: a minute, we we bullied him back onto the sideline. 1541 01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,320 Speaker 2: Let's call it what it is. At least I might 1542 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,320 Speaker 2: have had the loudest bullorn say you can't quit after 1543 01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,360 Speaker 2: one tough year. But he's back. But so are starters 1544 01:22:38,400 --> 01:22:43,400 Speaker 2: playing in the preseason half the league changed out their ocs, Bucky. 1545 01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,680 Speaker 2: Can we use that as one of the underlying reasons, 1546 01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:51,200 Speaker 2: perhaps for why coaches are getting guys reps again in 1547 01:22:51,280 --> 01:22:52,240 Speaker 2: preseason games? 1548 01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think some of that is, you 1549 01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: know OC's new, OC's taken over one to get there. 1550 01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:02,200 Speaker 1: You know their guy up to speed, making sure they 1551 01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:04,520 Speaker 1: know exactly what to do. You only have three preseason 1552 01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,599 Speaker 1: games to get that done, so you need the reps, 1553 01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:10,559 Speaker 1: and you need the reps in game action to make 1554 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,639 Speaker 1: sure that it replicates the speed of what the regular 1555 01:23:12,680 --> 01:23:15,360 Speaker 1: season is going to be. But Harmon, what I believe 1556 01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:18,080 Speaker 1: is really going on is people are looking at how 1557 01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:21,519 Speaker 1: Andy Reid has gotten his team to three of the 1558 01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:24,679 Speaker 1: last four Super Bowls, and if you notice the Cancit, 1559 01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:27,759 Speaker 1: the Chiefs always start fast. Well. One of the common 1560 01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:31,719 Speaker 1: denominators between their fast start has been a hard training 1561 01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:35,480 Speaker 1: camp where they get after it. They're physical in practice. 1562 01:23:35,760 --> 01:23:39,320 Speaker 1: He plays his starters in preseason games. You notice Pat 1563 01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:42,160 Speaker 1: Mahomes has played every preseason games. He doesn't give him 1564 01:23:42,160 --> 01:23:44,759 Speaker 1: time off because they want to hit the ground running. 1565 01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,240 Speaker 1: And I think more teams are seeing the value in 1566 01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:49,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I know, we want to put everybody in 1567 01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:52,960 Speaker 1: bubble and bubble wrap and make sure they're nice and 1568 01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 1: preserved for the regular season, but you got to make 1569 01:23:56,760 --> 01:23:59,240 Speaker 1: sure that you're playing well because too many people are 1570 01:23:59,280 --> 01:24:02,080 Speaker 1: throwing away games the first part of the year that 1571 01:24:02,280 --> 01:24:04,760 Speaker 1: end up coming back to bite them the last part 1572 01:24:04,840 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: of the season. And so I think you have more 1573 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:10,800 Speaker 1: people that are aware of the importance of Hey, let's 1574 01:24:10,840 --> 01:24:12,400 Speaker 1: not try and figure it out the first month of 1575 01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:14,200 Speaker 1: the season. Let's see if we can get it going 1576 01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:16,439 Speaker 1: right from the start. Yeah. 1577 01:24:16,479 --> 01:24:18,879 Speaker 2: I mean, Lovey Smith. You know, for all the battles 1578 01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:22,840 Speaker 2: I had at times with their inability to finish down 1579 01:24:22,880 --> 01:24:26,439 Speaker 2: the stretch, I always appreciated is put the season in quarters. 1580 01:24:27,280 --> 01:24:29,360 Speaker 2: But you need to win the first quarter right. You 1581 01:24:29,400 --> 01:24:32,400 Speaker 2: can't just punt and say we'll figure it out. 1582 01:24:32,479 --> 01:24:32,559 Speaker 1: Now. 1583 01:24:33,040 --> 01:24:35,479 Speaker 2: Few teams have that luxury. And it's a league that 1584 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:39,639 Speaker 2: plays to five hundred is the you know, their goal 1585 01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:43,000 Speaker 2: is that everybody's battling towards five hundred and then you're 1586 01:24:43,000 --> 01:24:46,720 Speaker 2: playing meetingful football that everybody's watching in December. That's what 1587 01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 2: we know. Patrick Mahomes in September forty nine touchdowns, four 1588 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:57,400 Speaker 2: interceptions in sixteen career games, fifty one hundred yards and 1589 01:24:57,479 --> 01:24:59,920 Speaker 2: a quarterback rating of one nineteen point seven. 1590 01:25:02,680 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's impressive. 1591 01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:06,559 Speaker 2: To talk about getting off to a hot start and 1592 01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,320 Speaker 2: getting the season going. But you know that that brings 1593 01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:12,759 Speaker 2: up the point for Andy Reid and his training camps. 1594 01:25:12,760 --> 01:25:16,560 Speaker 2: And I know a lot was made Ron Rivera, and 1595 01:25:16,880 --> 01:25:19,040 Speaker 2: this is taking us back a little bit, but you've 1596 01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:22,879 Speaker 2: been in these locker rooms. You're around the Jaguars now, Bucky, 1597 01:25:23,200 --> 01:25:27,000 Speaker 2: you know Eric b Enemy and Ron Rivera. And you 1598 01:25:27,040 --> 01:25:30,000 Speaker 2: know Ron Rivera going public with the idea that he's 1599 01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,200 Speaker 2: had players come to him talking about how tough Eric 1600 01:25:33,280 --> 01:25:36,879 Speaker 2: B Enemy is. I don't think it was received perhaps 1601 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:39,840 Speaker 2: as Rivera intended it, you know, being as he is 1602 01:25:39,880 --> 01:25:44,719 Speaker 2: an eighty five Bear, et cetera. But I think Rivera 1603 01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:47,800 Speaker 2: to a degree also trying to distance himself because if 1604 01:25:47,800 --> 01:25:50,160 Speaker 2: this stuff goes wrong, it's a new owner and he's 1605 01:25:50,160 --> 01:25:53,640 Speaker 2: probably the guy that's out the door more quickly. But 1606 01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 2: there's something to be said for sometimes you just need 1607 01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,160 Speaker 2: the swift kick to get you moving. You need to 1608 01:26:00,200 --> 01:26:04,160 Speaker 2: be you know, disciplined. We talk about it with coaching styles, 1609 01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:07,839 Speaker 2: like nobody thought that the Enemy was warm and fuzzy 1610 01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,760 Speaker 2: coming out of his years in Kansas City. So this 1611 01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:11,639 Speaker 2: is not a surprise. 1612 01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:14,879 Speaker 1: No, it's not a surprise. 1613 01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:16,720 Speaker 2: Like if you've been around the league at old you 1614 01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,599 Speaker 2: had this. This z intel has been out there for years. 1615 01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,160 Speaker 1: It's not even that intel. You know what it does. 1616 01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:27,559 Speaker 1: It is Hey man, if you just watch NFL films, Hey, Rooky, 1617 01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:31,720 Speaker 1: welcome to the NFL with Adrian Peterson in Minnesota and 1618 01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 1: Veric Bnemy is his position coach, and Adrian Peterson wouldn't 1619 01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,880 Speaker 1: talk to him because be enemy is on his head 1620 01:26:36,960 --> 01:26:41,479 Speaker 1: every day about the little things and so like man, 1621 01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:45,320 Speaker 1: sometimes you have to get coached hard. It's not personal. 1622 01:26:45,640 --> 01:26:48,240 Speaker 1: It's about trying to bring out the best in a player. 1623 01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:52,400 Speaker 1: And so I get it. And honestly, if I'm married 1624 01:26:52,479 --> 01:26:55,960 Speaker 1: be enemy. Privately in those meetings, I was like, what 1625 01:26:56,080 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 1: have you guys ever won to be complaining? You've been 1626 01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:03,840 Speaker 1: in the middle of the pack. And honestly, that conversation 1627 01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:07,439 Speaker 1: can go and extend to Ron Rivera. Ron Rivera only 1628 01:27:07,439 --> 01:27:12,479 Speaker 1: has three winning seasons in his career, and so hey, man, 1629 01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,600 Speaker 1: like we can we can talk about being great, but 1630 01:27:15,680 --> 01:27:19,360 Speaker 1: everyone doesn't want to do the stuff that's necessary to 1631 01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:20,600 Speaker 1: be great, and. 1632 01:27:21,400 --> 01:27:24,400 Speaker 2: So everybody's good, right, I mean, that's that's the thing. 1633 01:27:24,400 --> 01:27:28,160 Speaker 2: What can you do to differentiate yourself to be great? 1634 01:27:28,400 --> 01:27:31,880 Speaker 2: And that's at anything you do, right, any occupation that 1635 01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:34,920 Speaker 2: you have wherever you're listening across this globe, we appreciate you, 1636 01:27:34,960 --> 01:27:37,559 Speaker 2: We love you. Thanks for being part of the extended family. 1637 01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:40,840 Speaker 2: I'll raise my oversized cup of coffee to you here, 1638 01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:43,640 Speaker 2: a beautiful lot of Fox Sports Sunday Morning to you. 1639 01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,160 Speaker 2: But it's that what are you willing to do? And 1640 01:27:46,200 --> 01:27:50,000 Speaker 2: I'm not talking about duplicitous things or any of that craziness. 1641 01:27:50,040 --> 01:27:52,120 Speaker 2: It's just are you willing to put in the extra hours? 1642 01:27:52,160 --> 01:27:56,000 Speaker 2: Are you willing to grind out, you know, the extra reports, 1643 01:27:56,160 --> 01:27:58,519 Speaker 2: meetings or whatever. It's going to be So everybody's on 1644 01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:03,559 Speaker 2: the same the same place moving forward. And for the commanders, look, 1645 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:07,240 Speaker 2: the enemy's got his shot here as an oc ron, 1646 01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 2: Rivera is your defensive guy. And to my thinking, look, 1647 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:14,479 Speaker 2: I don't call it for people's jobs terribly often here, Bucky, 1648 01:28:14,960 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 2: but you mentioned it. Three winning seasons in all the 1649 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:19,240 Speaker 2: years he's there. He could be the greatest guy in 1650 01:28:19,280 --> 01:28:22,000 Speaker 2: the world. At some point, you need results, and I 1651 01:28:22,040 --> 01:28:26,360 Speaker 2: get it. Washington's been full of dysfunction along the way. 1652 01:28:26,600 --> 01:28:28,920 Speaker 2: I mean, Carolina had its issues at times as well, 1653 01:28:28,920 --> 01:28:32,960 Speaker 2: with Richardson having to bounce out of the team. But 1654 01:28:33,280 --> 01:28:37,479 Speaker 2: you're looking at a situation in Washington where I guess 1655 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:41,080 Speaker 2: you wanted some level of stability as you change the 1656 01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 2: ownership groups. But at some point you need change to 1657 01:28:46,040 --> 01:28:50,519 Speaker 2: try to instill a different culture and to win. Right, 1658 01:28:50,600 --> 01:28:54,479 Speaker 2: getting along just isn't it. And you bring in the enemy, 1659 01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:59,120 Speaker 2: a guy to shock that offense. Because you got players, right, Dotson, 1660 01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 2: McLaurin Thomas when he's healthy, your tight end, Bryan Robinson 1661 01:29:04,120 --> 01:29:08,000 Speaker 2: and Antonio Gibson are really good running backs. So you've 1662 01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:10,160 Speaker 2: got skill position players. Now it's what can you get 1663 01:29:10,160 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 2: out of Sam Howell? But how can you kick those 1664 01:29:12,400 --> 01:29:16,000 Speaker 2: guys into overdrive and get that offensive line moving to 1665 01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:19,880 Speaker 2: where you're competitive in the East. I just remember these 1666 01:29:19,920 --> 01:29:23,000 Speaker 2: reports and Smith and I were on you know that night, 1667 01:29:23,040 --> 01:29:25,840 Speaker 2: looking at each other going what am I missing here? Like, 1668 01:29:26,040 --> 01:29:28,160 Speaker 2: I know, guys like to be coddled and told how 1669 01:29:28,200 --> 01:29:31,599 Speaker 2: great they are. That only gets you so far. You're 1670 01:29:31,640 --> 01:29:36,320 Speaker 2: in the NFL. So to go from being a sub 1671 01:29:36,400 --> 01:29:40,080 Speaker 2: five hundred or five hundred team in a tough division, 1672 01:29:40,680 --> 01:29:45,240 Speaker 2: let's let's face it, it should be a cannibalized division 1673 01:29:45,320 --> 01:29:48,759 Speaker 2: once again. Right, You've got the Eagles that everybody loves, 1674 01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:53,360 Speaker 2: the Cowboys that because of the dearth of powerhouses in 1675 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:57,280 Speaker 2: the NFC. Well, I think as far as betting favorites 1676 01:29:57,280 --> 01:30:00,519 Speaker 2: in the NFC, I think they're third. And then the 1677 01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:04,759 Speaker 2: Giants to me are a team that really is interesting 1678 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,559 Speaker 2: for Dable considering what they've pulled together and if they 1679 01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,679 Speaker 2: can coach some extra out of Daniel Jones. Look out, 1680 01:30:11,720 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, that offense. It's a whole other level. So, yeah, 1681 01:30:14,920 --> 01:30:18,280 Speaker 2: you need to start changes in contrast to what you've 1682 01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:18,759 Speaker 2: been doing. 1683 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,760 Speaker 1: They absolutely need start start changes in terms of what 1684 01:30:23,800 --> 01:30:27,080 Speaker 1: they've been doing because it hasn't been going. It hasn't 1685 01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,600 Speaker 1: been going according to plan, and so it's one of 1686 01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:35,240 Speaker 1: those things where if you get everyone on the same page, 1687 01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:38,759 Speaker 1: if you get everyone understanding the standard, the new standard, 1688 01:30:38,760 --> 01:30:42,040 Speaker 1: the championship standard that needs to be met every day, 1689 01:30:42,560 --> 01:30:45,320 Speaker 1: well yeah, then you have an opportunity for things to 1690 01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:48,760 Speaker 1: happen and for it to become a division where hey, 1691 01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,839 Speaker 1: maybe they can climb on top. Because all those teams 1692 01:30:53,040 --> 01:30:56,160 Speaker 1: are talented, all of them. We saw with the Giants 1693 01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:58,800 Speaker 1: day all comes in, cleans up some things, make sure 1694 01:30:58,840 --> 01:31:00,760 Speaker 1: they don't give the ball away, they go right to 1695 01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:03,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs, and so it's a doable deal for everybody 1696 01:31:03,960 --> 01:31:07,519 Speaker 1: in that division. They just have to be willing to 1697 01:31:07,600 --> 01:31:10,000 Speaker 1: be on the details to the level that you need 1698 01:31:10,040 --> 01:31:10,519 Speaker 1: to be to win. 1699 01:31:11,479 --> 01:31:15,080 Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks up Mike Carmen here live fromthetirac dot 1700 01:31:15,160 --> 01:31:18,920 Speaker 2: Com studios. As we continue forward, we're talking about power structures, 1701 01:31:18,960 --> 01:31:22,439 Speaker 2: power changes, and when maybe you can flex a little bit.

The one thing that the 1743 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:38,200 Speaker 1: league has done is they've done a great job of 1744 01:33:38,280 --> 01:33:40,800 Speaker 1: selling optimism and hope. Hey man, you can do you 1745 01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,880 Speaker 1: can go from worse to first.

And so I 1749 01:33:51,760 --> 01:33:53,439 Speaker 1: love that part of it because you just never know 1750 01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:54,479 Speaker 1: how it's going to shake out. 1751 01:33:55,160 --> 01:33:59,000 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks five years in the league, NFL media obviously 1752 01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:03,000 Speaker 2: see him on FS one, hear him here on Fox 1753 01:34:03,040 --> 01:34:06,639 Speaker 2: Sports Radio, and you're getting ready for your own world 1754 01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:10,600 Speaker 2: of Granada Hills Charter High School. Once again, we chronicled 1755 01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:13,760 Speaker 2: the success last year. More forward passes this year or what? 1756 01:34:14,720 --> 01:34:16,600 Speaker 1: So? I think in the game the other night, like 1757 01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,800 Speaker 1: Friday night, we had a game we ended in a tie. 1758 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:21,559 Speaker 2: We started already, How did I get we started? 1759 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, Friday night was a first game. We played a 1760 01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,880 Speaker 1: team Frank and open division team top team and in 1761 01:34:27,920 --> 01:34:29,400 Speaker 1: the city, and so we had a twenty eight to 1762 01:34:29,439 --> 01:34:35,639 Speaker 1: twenty eight tie and we threw maybe three passes. Okay, 1763 01:34:35,800 --> 01:34:39,439 Speaker 1: so we're progressing. Hey, man, I said thirty for the season. 1764 01:34:39,520 --> 01:34:41,680 Speaker 2: So what do we always say if it broke, you 1765 01:34:41,720 --> 01:34:45,519 Speaker 2: don't fix it. I mean a little bit of trickery 1766 01:34:46,360 --> 01:34:49,280 Speaker 2: and surprise. Hey, we're throwing every now and again. But 1767 01:34:49,840 --> 01:34:52,439 Speaker 2: we chronicled the success. We look forward to this year. Yeah, 1768 01:34:52,479 --> 01:34:54,599 Speaker 2: I had it in my head that most places were 1769 01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:57,360 Speaker 2: starting this week for some reason. Maybe it's just down 1770 01:34:59,160 --> 01:34:59,880 Speaker 2: so each cities. 1771 01:35:00,120 --> 01:35:05,000 Speaker 1: So in the weird, the weird world of high school football, 1772 01:35:05,600 --> 01:35:08,480 Speaker 1: the first week it's called week zero. 1773 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:10,920 Speaker 2: Just like Colin, Yeah, let's go. 1774 01:35:11,200 --> 01:35:13,360 Speaker 1: And so and so it's kind of like the bonus week. 1775 01:35:13,680 --> 01:35:17,920 Speaker 1: Oh whatever. So you're right, most teams, most whatever. Week 1776 01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:20,240 Speaker 1: one is when the season starts, but everyone has jumped 1777 01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:22,559 Speaker 1: into week zero, so you can have a bye week 1778 01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:24,719 Speaker 1: somewhere in the year. So that's that's where he goes. 1779 01:35:25,120 --> 01:35:28,599 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, you know you can argue and try to flex, 1780 01:35:28,680 --> 01:35:31,240 Speaker 2: you know, to get what you need, Bucky, because you're 1781 01:35:31,320 --> 01:35:34,240 Speaker 2: that powerful a man, just like James Harden continues to 1782 01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:38,080 Speaker 2: proclaim he is. And I appreciate boldness, and I like 1783 01:35:38,160 --> 01:35:41,120 Speaker 2: that the calendar flips, and well he's disgruntled with another 1784 01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:43,439 Speaker 2: team and is looking to get out. We talked about 1785 01:35:43,439 --> 01:35:46,360 Speaker 2: it earlier in the week when he made his appearance, 1786 01:35:46,800 --> 01:35:49,280 Speaker 2: you know, in doing some camps and and getting the 1787 01:35:49,320 --> 01:35:53,080 Speaker 2: love in China, and he went after Darryl Morey calling 1788 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,320 Speaker 2: him a liar and was like, hey, if you didn't 1789 01:35:55,320 --> 01:35:58,320 Speaker 2: hear it in the back let me repeat, Daryl Morey's 1790 01:35:58,320 --> 01:35:59,800 Speaker 2: a liar, and I'm not going to be part of 1791 01:35:59,800 --> 01:36:03,240 Speaker 2: this organization, be part of an organization that he's a 1792 01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:06,360 Speaker 2: part of. Any Further, Well, now the NBA is open 1793 01:36:06,439 --> 01:36:10,920 Speaker 2: an investigation, wondering aloud if in doing so he is 1794 01:36:11,040 --> 01:36:15,000 Speaker 2: threatening that he's going to hold out, which is a 1795 01:36:15,080 --> 01:36:19,880 Speaker 2: violation of the CBA, or just talking about contract discussions 1796 01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:24,559 Speaker 2: that they're looking to circumvent the salary cap and whatever. 1797 01:36:24,720 --> 01:36:29,520 Speaker 2: And in the end, what's in documents, what's in text messages, 1798 01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:34,400 Speaker 2: what's in voicemails or or voice conversations, what's in writing? 1799 01:36:34,600 --> 01:36:38,400 Speaker 2: Because otherwise it's just a hey, here's a quick back 1800 01:36:38,439 --> 01:36:41,479 Speaker 2: and forth. You made promises, you know what. We live 1801 01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:43,639 Speaker 2: in a different world that we did thirty seconds ago. 1802 01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,080 Speaker 2: Just like we talk about Kevin Cosner in the movie 1803 01:36:46,160 --> 01:36:49,840 Speaker 2: Draft Day, all these times he took advantage of the 1804 01:36:49,880 --> 01:36:53,240 Speaker 2: platform in China. Remember Darryl Mory not exactly a popular 1805 01:36:53,280 --> 01:36:55,960 Speaker 2: guy there, based on some tweets and comments he had 1806 01:36:55,960 --> 01:36:58,400 Speaker 2: a couple of years ago to where they actually stopped 1807 01:36:58,439 --> 01:37:03,080 Speaker 2: airing Houston Rockets games there, even with that long standing 1808 01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:08,000 Speaker 2: relationship going back to Yao Ming, etc. So we look 1809 01:37:08,040 --> 01:37:11,280 Speaker 2: at it now James Harden will opted into his thirty 1810 01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:14,080 Speaker 2: six million dollars one year deal, and I know you 1811 01:37:14,160 --> 01:37:17,720 Speaker 2: want more. I know you want that extension. I think 1812 01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:21,800 Speaker 2: everybody watched what happens happened in the playoffs, Bucky, and 1813 01:37:21,840 --> 01:37:24,400 Speaker 2: it's awful hard to say, hey, let's re up you 1814 01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:27,439 Speaker 2: for another couple of years if I'm only getting the 1815 01:37:27,479 --> 01:37:31,240 Speaker 2: good James Harden, the effective James Harden once every three games, 1816 01:37:31,560 --> 01:37:34,679 Speaker 2: particularly when it comes to playoff time. But I suspect 1817 01:37:34,720 --> 01:37:37,799 Speaker 2: this NBA investigation is all right, we have to claim 1818 01:37:37,880 --> 01:37:40,479 Speaker 2: that we did an investigation and that it's a whole 1819 01:37:40,520 --> 01:37:44,960 Speaker 2: lot of nothing. But I will always champion James Harden. 1820 01:37:45,240 --> 01:37:48,200 Speaker 2: The running backs in the NFL. You want a flex 1821 01:37:48,240 --> 01:37:50,600 Speaker 2: and you think you have some power, you can just 1822 01:37:50,640 --> 01:37:54,840 Speaker 2: make sure you're taking in good advice and really reading 1823 01:37:54,880 --> 01:37:56,160 Speaker 2: the room well when you do so. 1824 01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:03,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting. James Harden and Darryl Mourray and that relationship, 1825 01:38:04,320 --> 01:38:08,280 Speaker 1: obviously something appeared to have been promised to James Harden 1826 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: and Darryl Mory's gott of reneking or ownership is reneeking 1827 01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:13,439 Speaker 1: at the amount of money that they were going to 1828 01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 1: give him, or that they were willing to guarantee and 1829 01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,040 Speaker 1: those things and in that leak in, particularly if you 1830 01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:20,200 Speaker 1: mess with a player's money man, it's always going to 1831 01:38:20,240 --> 01:38:23,320 Speaker 1: be a funny situation. And so Harden is not going 1832 01:38:23,360 --> 01:38:25,559 Speaker 1: for it. He's not going for it being short changed 1833 01:38:25,720 --> 01:38:30,120 Speaker 1: or not getting what he was expected to get. So, yeah, 1834 01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:31,799 Speaker 1: that's an issue, huge issue. 1835 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,200 Speaker 2: Goes nuclear timing again. And I know a lot of 1836 01:38:34,240 --> 01:38:38,240 Speaker 2: people are like, all right, here's James Harden and you complaining, 1837 01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:42,840 Speaker 2: et cetera. If you think you have that flex, you 1838 01:38:42,840 --> 01:38:46,000 Speaker 2: should exercise it in any job you do. Right, If 1839 01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:48,040 Speaker 2: you think you've got the clout to go in and 1840 01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:51,680 Speaker 2: demand a different shift or better hours, or maybe to 1841 01:38:51,720 --> 01:38:54,240 Speaker 2: still work from home an extra day because your numbers 1842 01:38:54,240 --> 01:38:57,519 Speaker 2: are still there, or you're looking for a raise, whatever 1843 01:38:57,560 --> 01:39:00,000 Speaker 2: you do it, just don't be surprised if the answer 1844 01:39:00,479 --> 01:39:03,240 Speaker 2: is now right, that's all you can All you can 1845 01:39:03,280 --> 01:39:05,559 Speaker 2: do is ask all right. It's the old rule of thumb. Like, 1846 01:39:05,720 --> 01:39:09,400 Speaker 2: I just appreciate James Harden. He's not dancing around it. 1847 01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:15,800 Speaker 2: Whatever agreement he thought was reached, he's not dancing around it, right, 1848 01:39:15,840 --> 01:39:18,080 Speaker 2: And he'll take to the microphone unlike a lot of 1849 01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:20,559 Speaker 2: other stars. Right for the last couple of years, it's 1850 01:39:20,560 --> 01:39:22,799 Speaker 2: been does Damian Lillard still want to be in Portland? 1851 01:39:23,400 --> 01:39:25,920 Speaker 2: And then we you know, a little bit of reports, 1852 01:39:26,080 --> 01:39:28,040 Speaker 2: and then finally this year it's like, yeah, he wants 1853 01:39:28,080 --> 01:39:31,160 Speaker 2: to go to Miami and it's done, and it's like, 1854 01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:34,320 Speaker 2: all right, you finally got there, just like Aaron Rodgers. 1855 01:39:34,479 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 2: For a couple of years, it was well, is he 1856 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:39,880 Speaker 2: gonna retire? Is he mad at Lafleur? Is he mad 1857 01:39:40,080 --> 01:39:42,839 Speaker 2: at the front office? Is he not getting along with everybody? 1858 01:39:42,960 --> 01:39:45,000 Speaker 2: And then he finally said, well my intentions to be 1859 01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:49,040 Speaker 2: a jet. Hey, good for you. Russell Wilson. We never 1860 01:39:49,120 --> 01:39:52,559 Speaker 2: got that full moment in public, but we'll get to 1861 01:39:52,600 --> 01:39:56,280 Speaker 2: Pete Carroll and the Seahawks here coming up the top 1862 01:39:56,280 --> 01:40:00,240 Speaker 2: of next hour. But you know, eventually they both realized, hey, 1863 01:40:00,439 --> 01:40:02,200 Speaker 2: end up fighting in the media. Let's just make this 1864 01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:05,639 Speaker 2: happen with James Harden like what he did in Houston. 1865 01:40:06,200 --> 01:40:09,439 Speaker 2: Folks didn't like it. I'm all for it. Yeah, this 1866 01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:12,479 Speaker 2: is an untenable situation. I'm at winning time in my career. 1867 01:40:12,479 --> 01:40:15,280 Speaker 2: I'm done. I respect you. 1868 01:40:16,280 --> 01:40:18,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I can I can respect I can 1869 01:40:18,479 --> 01:40:20,559 Speaker 1: respect that, I can respect something when it comes to 1870 01:40:22,040 --> 01:40:25,040 Speaker 1: what Harden wants and how he wants to get it done. 1871 01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:28,920 Speaker 1: But you know, the funny thing is, like I feel 1872 01:40:28,960 --> 01:40:30,680 Speaker 1: like they made a deal with the devil when it 1873 01:40:30,720 --> 01:40:34,400 Speaker 1: came to it, when it came to him in terms 1874 01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:38,559 Speaker 1: of a he's he is doing it, he can't do it, 1875 01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna pay him, all these other things. I just 1876 01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:46,040 Speaker 1: I just feel like they didn't necessarily work it out. 1877 01:40:46,360 --> 01:40:49,439 Speaker 1: And a lot of people have you really given him 1878 01:40:49,439 --> 01:40:53,080 Speaker 1: a lot of flak for the postseason, playoffs and those things. 1879 01:40:53,120 --> 01:40:57,639 Speaker 1: But I will say this about the postseason, he showed 1880 01:40:57,720 --> 01:40:59,679 Speaker 1: up and had bigger games than Joel Embiid. 1881 01:41:00,280 --> 01:41:03,160 Speaker 2: This is true. Yeah, they both equally failed at the end, 1882 01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:04,000 Speaker 2: but yeah, you're. 1883 01:41:03,920 --> 01:41:08,080 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah he had games where he carried them. Now, 1884 01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:09,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what happens at the end. I don't 1885 01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:11,680 Speaker 1: know what the relationship was like with Doc Rivers and 1886 01:41:11,720 --> 01:41:13,920 Speaker 1: those things, but. 1887 01:41:15,520 --> 01:41:20,200 Speaker 2: He's But yeah, that's certainly the curiosity. Having a little 1888 01:41:20,200 --> 01:41:23,640 Speaker 2: bit of a technical thing with Bucky will work to 1889 01:41:23,760 --> 01:41:26,920 Speaker 2: restore that. Mike Carman, Bucky Brooks here, Fox Sports Sunday, 1890 01:41:27,040 --> 01:41:29,679 Speaker 2: Fox Sports Rady.

To your point, though, Bucky, 1895 01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,720 Speaker 2: I mean very much, we don't know what's promised. We 1896 01:41:44,760 --> 01:41:47,400 Speaker 2: don't know what those conversations are. We thought he and 1897 01:41:47,520 --> 01:41:50,120 Speaker 2: Darryl Morey at least had a good enough relationship to 1898 01:41:50,160 --> 01:41:52,800 Speaker 2: where you bring him back in and he's feeling good. 1899 01:41:53,160 --> 01:41:56,479 Speaker 2: You've got a lot of speculation that Joel Embid is 1900 01:41:56,520 --> 01:41:58,639 Speaker 2: going to raise his hands soon enough to just say 1901 01:41:59,040 --> 01:42:02,360 Speaker 2: I'm done with the process and everything here as well. 1902 01:42:02,800 --> 01:42:06,600 Speaker 2: So right now you've got a very uneasy situation with 1903 01:42:06,760 --> 01:42:09,880 Speaker 2: those stars you thought you were building. You thought you 1904 01:42:09,960 --> 01:42:12,759 Speaker 2: were making everybody happy, because you changed out Doc Rivers 1905 01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,840 Speaker 2: right after another playoff Ouster. It's like, all right, well, 1906 01:42:17,040 --> 01:42:21,840 Speaker 2: what happens fall Guy and situational stuff for Doc Rivers. 1907 01:42:21,920 --> 01:42:23,720 Speaker 2: You can never take away that one title. But we 1908 01:42:23,840 --> 01:42:26,439 Speaker 2: watched it here in LA time and again. But your 1909 01:42:26,439 --> 01:42:29,080 Speaker 2: superstars also need to show up on the biggest stage, 1910 01:42:29,479 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 2: and they didn't, and so you go home early. But 1911 01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:34,439 Speaker 2: you think bringing in Nick Nurse is going to be 1912 01:42:34,560 --> 01:42:40,080 Speaker 2: enough to allay any of those fears and anger and trepidation, 1913 01:42:40,320 --> 01:42:43,600 Speaker 2: whatever is going about, what's going forward, and instead you 1914 01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:45,599 Speaker 2: just have a full summer of unrest. 1915 01:42:47,720 --> 01:42:55,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's certainly always interesting in Philadelphia. Not always, Sonny, No, 1916 01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,600 Speaker 1: I mean you have a lot of people kind of 1917 01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,160 Speaker 1: doing doing their own thing. It doesn't seem to be 1918 01:43:02,240 --> 01:43:06,639 Speaker 1: a un organization. This unified in his vision or its approach, 1919 01:43:07,040 --> 01:43:11,600 Speaker 1: you know, and like look it until they get on 1920 01:43:11,680 --> 01:43:14,960 Speaker 1: the same page top to bottom, it'll always be what 1921 01:43:15,120 --> 01:43:16,920 Speaker 1: it has been. And so it's just one of those things. 1922 01:43:16,960 --> 01:43:18,160 Speaker 1: They have to work it out. They have to have 1923 01:43:18,240 --> 01:43:20,719 Speaker 1: clear communication, and they have to have a clear direction. 1924 01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:21,680 Speaker 1: You know. 1925 01:43:21,800 --> 01:43:24,040 Speaker 2: Me, I like chaos in between the white lines. Why 1926 01:43:24,160 --> 01:43:27,640 Speaker 2: because it gives us content. At Bucky Brits where you 1927 01:43:27,720 --> 01:43:30,200 Speaker 2: find them on Twitter, find me over at Swollen Dome. 1928 01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:32,400 Speaker 2: We're coming to you live from the tiraq dot Com 1929 01:43:32,600 --> 01:43:36,400 Speaker 2: studios and coming out next we'll turn back Bucky earlier 1930 01:43:36,520 --> 01:43:39,800 Speaker 2: in the program, gave you a little snapshot of what's 1931 01:43:39,840 --> 01:43:42,880 Speaker 2: going on in San Francisco. Let's revisit that in the 1932 01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:47,679 Speaker 2: quarterback room, because all the chips are placed firmly behind 1933 01:43:47,760 --> 01:43:51,720 Speaker 2: one quarterback. Are they pushing in too early? We'll do 1934 01:43:51,840 --> 01:43:54,439 Speaker 2: that next, but first is our guy, Kevin Wyre.

In the preseason NFL scary moment 1943 01:44:20,520 --> 01:44:23,280 Speaker 2: on Saturday, Patriots and Packers had their game called off 1944 01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:26,280 Speaker 2: on the fourth quarter after Isaiah Bolden took a hit 1945 01:44:26,320 --> 01:44:29,120 Speaker 2: from a teammate that left him immobilized and it required 1946 01:44:29,160 --> 01:44:31,600 Speaker 2: him to be carded off on a stretcher. The Patriots 1947 01:44:31,640 --> 01:44:35,840 Speaker 2: did say that Bolden had feeling in all of his extremities. However, 1948 01:44:35,960 --> 01:44:41,200 Speaker 2: he will remain hospitalized for observation and Major League Baseball 1949 01:44:41,280 --> 01:44:45,439 Speaker 2: action on Saturday three doubleheaders because three games on Sunday 1950 01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:48,479 Speaker 2: moved to Saturday due to Hurricane Hillary. The Dodgers sweeping 1951 01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:51,160 Speaker 2: their twin bill from the Marlins, winning three to one 1952 01:44:51,200 --> 01:44:53,840 Speaker 2: in both games.

The Rays 1955 01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:04,160 Speaker 2: and Angels splitting their twin bill, the Halo's taking Game 1956 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 2: one seven to six, but the Rays with a blowout 1957 01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:10,800 Speaker 2: win in game number two eighteen to four. The Mariners 1958 01:45:11,200 --> 01:45:13,400 Speaker 2: beat the Astros ten to three. That is their fifth 1959 01:45:13,439 --> 01:45:17,840 Speaker 2: straight win. Julio Rodriguez on an absolute tear seventeen for 1960 01:45:17,960 --> 01:45:21,439 Speaker 2: his last twenty two at the plate over his last 1961 01:45:21,479 --> 01:45:23,439 Speaker 2: four games. That is a new major League record. And 1962 01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:25,479 Speaker 2: Mike Harmon in the last hour with a great stat 1963 01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:27,800 Speaker 2: saying that the Yankees in the last four games have 1964 01:45:28,000 --> 01:45:31,479 Speaker 2: just seventeen hits as a team combined. Give you an 1965 01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,880 Speaker 2: idea of how much how well Julio Rodriggs has been 1966 01:45:34,880 --> 01:45:37,000 Speaker 2: playing or how poorly the Yankee has been playing. However, 1967 01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:39,720 Speaker 2: you want to look at that. Baltimore with a ten 1968 01:45:39,800 --> 01:45:42,600 Speaker 2: inning win against the a seven to two. Milwaukee with 1969 01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:44,519 Speaker 2: a dominating win against the Rangers six to one. The 1970 01:45:44,720 --> 01:45:47,080 Speaker 2: Rangers struck out eighteen times in that game. A rough 1971 01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:49,600 Speaker 2: day for them and the Yankee. Speaking of them, the 1972 01:45:49,640 --> 01:45:53,760 Speaker 2: Bronx Bombers have now lost seven straight games, including to 1973 01:45:53,800 --> 01:45:56,040 Speaker 2: their heated rival of the Boston rod Sox eight to one, 1974 01:45:56,080 --> 01:45:58,880 Speaker 2: with Garret Cole taking the loss back to you guys. Yeah, 1975 01:45:58,960 --> 01:46:01,439 Speaker 2: we do a lot of shot freuda here on sports 1976 01:46:01,479 --> 01:46:04,280 Speaker 2: talk radio and television when the Yankees are struggling, don't 1977 01:46:04,280 --> 01:46:09,280 Speaker 2: we the pleasure derived from someone by someone because of 1978 01:46:09,320 --> 01:46:12,519 Speaker 2: another's misfortune. There's your word of the day on a 1979 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:15,519 Speaker 2: Sunday morning. Thanks so much, Kevin, Mike Garbin, Bucky Brooks 1980 01:46:15,560 --> 01:46:18,320 Speaker 2: with you here live from thee tiraq dot com Studios, 1981 01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:23,200 Speaker 2: San Francisco. Forty nine ers on paper, Bucky squad that 1982 01:46:23,360 --> 01:46:26,160 Speaker 2: looks ready to compete once again, one of the betting 1983 01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:29,599 Speaker 2: favorites in the NFC. And we look at that squad, 1984 01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:34,080 Speaker 2: a loaded Christian McCaffrey leading your backfield. You got Elijah 1985 01:46:34,120 --> 01:46:38,800 Speaker 2: Mitchell back expecting more explosiveness from Deebo Samuel after a 1986 01:46:38,840 --> 01:46:41,439 Speaker 2: little bit of a step back, but you had Brandon 1987 01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:45,040 Speaker 2: Ayuk showed in his own last year, grew into his 1988 01:46:45,360 --> 01:46:47,840 Speaker 2: role in George Kittle there. I mean, you've got so 1989 01:46:47,960 --> 01:46:51,960 Speaker 2: many names, a good offensive line, a defense where we've 1990 01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:54,760 Speaker 2: got to keep an eye on Nick Bosa, some swirling 1991 01:46:54,920 --> 01:46:59,280 Speaker 2: that maybe he's got a sit in kind of situation 1992 01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,880 Speaker 2: going on in terms of playing to start the season, 1993 01:47:02,040 --> 01:47:05,360 Speaker 2: so looking for that long term deal. But they've gone 1994 01:47:05,720 --> 01:47:08,519 Speaker 2: and pushed all the chips to the center on brock Purty, 1995 01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:13,519 Speaker 2: a lot of negativity and derision to a degree on 1996 01:47:13,960 --> 01:47:17,880 Speaker 2: Trey Lance. Every throw in practices being screwed now. Not 1997 01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:20,960 Speaker 2: just like Purdy, though, I mean brock Perdy with all 1998 01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:25,320 Speaker 2: his interceptions and practices and these joint workouts, Bucky, you'd 1999 01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:28,400 Speaker 2: think the guy was ready to be sent to the 2000 01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:32,200 Speaker 2: scrap heap. Instead, he's firmly entrenched as number one, fighting 2001 01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:36,439 Speaker 2: with Trey Lance, as Sam Darnold on his third squad 2002 01:47:36,479 --> 01:47:38,439 Speaker 2: at the age of twenty five, when a lot of 2003 01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,840 Speaker 2: these guys are just coming in from the draft. So 2004 01:47:41,040 --> 01:47:44,600 Speaker 2: this squad ready for another run. But the deification of 2005 01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:47,800 Speaker 2: Rock Purdy after his short run in twenty twenty two, 2006 01:47:48,600 --> 01:47:51,719 Speaker 2: are we on his bandwagon too earlier? Does he show 2007 01:47:51,760 --> 01:47:54,160 Speaker 2: all the intangibles to make him a long term star. 2008 01:47:55,439 --> 01:47:57,559 Speaker 1: I think it's a little early. It's a little earlier. 2009 01:47:57,760 --> 01:48:00,679 Speaker 1: The sample size is small and typically takes twenty games 2010 01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:02,360 Speaker 1: to kind of figure out what a quarterback he is. 2011 01:48:02,920 --> 01:48:05,880 Speaker 1: I think he's only played nine. He's been solid, but 2012 01:48:06,040 --> 01:48:08,400 Speaker 1: he's in a position where he should be solid as 2013 01:48:08,439 --> 01:48:10,800 Speaker 1: a point guard because did not to say everything that 2014 01:48:10,880 --> 01:48:15,000 Speaker 1: you want on the perimeter. Big time receivers, Deebo, Samuel Brandan. 2015 01:48:15,040 --> 01:48:17,759 Speaker 1: I you a huge, big time tied end in George 2016 01:48:17,800 --> 01:48:22,439 Speaker 1: Kittle running back in Christian McCaffrey des a freak offensive 2017 01:48:22,479 --> 01:48:25,599 Speaker 1: line late by Trem Williams. They can move people. 2018 01:48:25,880 --> 01:48:28,479 Speaker 2: Can we just enthrine him now and just be done 2019 01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:28,640 Speaker 2: with it? 2020 01:48:28,800 --> 01:48:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean so it's a situation where 2021 01:48:34,400 --> 01:48:36,240 Speaker 1: he's just being able to play point guard and he 2022 01:48:36,280 --> 01:48:38,320 Speaker 1: should be able to do that and have success doing 2023 01:48:38,360 --> 01:48:39,000 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. 2024 01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,679 Speaker 2: And I have to obviously make mention of Kyle Eustcheck 2025 01:48:42,760 --> 01:48:46,800 Speaker 2: whenever we can as a utility player full back, because 2026 01:48:46,800 --> 01:48:49,000 Speaker 2: any team that still employs a fullback is all right 2027 01:48:49,040 --> 01:48:51,760 Speaker 2: by me, because that means they do harken back to 2028 01:48:51,840 --> 01:48:54,240 Speaker 2: the eighties and it's almost like they're paying tribute to 2029 01:48:54,280 --> 01:48:57,680 Speaker 2: Tom Rathman while they're at it. But a defense that 2030 01:48:57,760 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 2: can get after it. We'll talk about the Seahawks in 2031 01:49:00,320 --> 01:49:02,040 Speaker 2: a few minutes, but we look at the forty nine 2032 01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:05,240 Speaker 2: ers the quarter they've been quarterback proof. Right. We watched 2033 01:49:05,280 --> 01:49:09,080 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo, and he had a great series in his 2034 01:49:09,400 --> 01:49:13,040 Speaker 2: preseason work last night, got a chance and you know, 2035 01:49:13,320 --> 01:49:17,240 Speaker 2: multi screen experience watching a little of that as he 2036 01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:20,479 Speaker 2: got going. For the Raiders guy, we've been championing a 2037 01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:23,360 Speaker 2: bit on the show, me being the big ten hank 2038 01:49:23,439 --> 01:49:25,920 Speaker 2: that I am Aidan O'Connell looks like he's going to 2039 01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:28,800 Speaker 2: be up to the task, should and win. Jimmy g 2040 01:49:29,680 --> 01:49:34,040 Speaker 2: have an injury befall him. But for Garoppolo in this squad, 2041 01:49:34,680 --> 01:49:37,240 Speaker 2: you know, we talked a little bit about Jonathan Taylor 2042 01:49:37,439 --> 01:49:42,599 Speaker 2: last hour. Justin Jacobs guy that monster year, right, they 2043 01:49:42,640 --> 01:49:45,920 Speaker 2: didn't pick up his fifth year option, comes back. Has 2044 01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,960 Speaker 2: this monster season utilized as you would a running backs like, well, 2045 01:49:49,960 --> 01:49:51,559 Speaker 2: we got him for one more year, so give him 2046 01:49:51,560 --> 01:49:54,800 Speaker 2: the ball and good things happen, right, Devonte Adams taking 2047 01:49:54,840 --> 01:49:58,320 Speaker 2: some attention away and take nothing away from the huge 2048 01:49:58,720 --> 01:50:01,720 Speaker 2: efforts that Jacobs had and some of the success at 2049 01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:06,080 Speaker 2: times that Derek Carr had running that offense. But they're 2050 01:50:06,120 --> 01:50:10,080 Speaker 2: in a position where with Jacobs not in the fold, 2051 01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you've got a committee of what five or 2052 01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:17,439 Speaker 2: six guys that are gonna fight for carries around there. 2053 01:50:17,640 --> 01:50:22,240 Speaker 2: Zamir White, Damian Williams, Darwin Thompson, Randon Bolden, a mere Abdullah, 2054 01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:27,719 Speaker 2: all of them scream, you know, fifteen carries forty yards 2055 01:50:28,439 --> 01:50:32,519 Speaker 2: to me if given a big workload, how much do 2056 01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:36,240 Speaker 2: you I mean, Josh Jacobs, I call it. I've got 2057 01:50:36,280 --> 01:50:39,120 Speaker 2: his first name wrong, because you know, you start to 2058 01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:42,040 Speaker 2: conflate all these guys. But for Josh Jacobs made at 2059 01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:44,080 Speaker 2: some point you've got to look around because you need 2060 01:50:44,120 --> 01:50:48,000 Speaker 2: your year of service. And there's ten million dollars on 2061 01:50:48,120 --> 01:50:50,640 Speaker 2: the table. Now, I'd seen reports from some and I 2062 01:50:50,680 --> 01:50:53,559 Speaker 2: think it was more wishful thinking that hey, they would 2063 01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:57,800 Speaker 2: take the offer back, leaving him a free agent to 2064 01:50:57,840 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 2: go sign somewhere else would just be foolhardy. But he 2065 01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,600 Speaker 2: can't leave ten million dollars on the table, Bucky can't he? 2066 01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:07,240 Speaker 1: No, he shouldn't. Said. You saw how that played out 2067 01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:10,479 Speaker 1: with Le'Veon Bell. You can't do it. You show up 2068 01:51:10,479 --> 01:51:14,160 Speaker 1: a week like week one so you can get your money. Now, 2069 01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:18,560 Speaker 1: if you have a back injury that kind of shows. 2070 01:51:18,280 --> 01:51:22,160 Speaker 2: Up in training, Oh look what you're doing now, Oh 2071 01:51:22,360 --> 01:51:23,840 Speaker 2: I'm just come onse. 2072 01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:25,880 Speaker 1: Things happen. Sometimes those things happen. 2073 01:51:26,360 --> 01:51:28,559 Speaker 2: They can't show up on the X ray oh, man, I. 2074 01:51:28,600 --> 01:51:31,880 Speaker 1: Was taking a shower, like you know, just reach from 2075 01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:34,080 Speaker 1: my back and tweets kind of locked up. I don't 2076 01:51:34,080 --> 01:51:34,639 Speaker 1: know what happened. 2077 01:51:34,640 --> 01:51:36,880 Speaker 2: You didn't have the proper loofah with the proper lane 2078 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:37,960 Speaker 2: like so much. You know. 2079 01:51:38,680 --> 01:51:41,120 Speaker 1: So yeah, some of those things that that can happen. 2080 01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:43,639 Speaker 1: But nah, I mean he should show up. He should 2081 01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:46,040 Speaker 1: playing a tag. I don't know how close he is. 2082 01:51:46,080 --> 01:51:49,559 Speaker 1: I mean didn't There aren't any other negotiations that can 2083 01:51:49,600 --> 01:51:50,360 Speaker 1: take place. 2084 01:51:50,120 --> 01:51:52,000 Speaker 2: And so well they can play games with I mean, 2085 01:51:52,120 --> 01:51:54,800 Speaker 2: we saw what happened with Saguon Barkley.

Yeah, I don't know what 2088 01:52:01,080 --> 01:52:03,800 Speaker 1: that Saquon Barthley thing. I don't know what it really accomplished. 2089 01:52:03,840 --> 01:52:04,400 Speaker 1: Like he was cool. 2090 01:52:04,439 --> 01:52:05,960 Speaker 2: Well he got two million dollars early. 2091 01:52:07,720 --> 01:52:10,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean so in advance, man, I was able 2092 01:52:10,320 --> 01:52:10,960 Speaker 1: to buy a house. 2093 01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:11,479 Speaker 2: I don't know. 2094 01:52:11,920 --> 01:52:14,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, so he got an advance on his deal, but 2095 01:52:14,720 --> 01:52:17,679 Speaker 1: he put nine hundred thousand incentives on things. He would 2096 01:52:17,680 --> 01:52:18,599 Speaker 1: have to be Jim Brown. 2097 01:52:19,160 --> 01:52:21,040 Speaker 2: That's right, you know what I'm saying.

Go Lucky. 2277 02:01:53,720 --> 02:01:57,480 Speaker 2: Will Ferrell's hanging out. He's back at USC practices too. 2278 02:01:58,040 --> 02:02:01,720 Speaker 2: But you're looking at the celebration of Pete Carroll and 2279 02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:07,200 Speaker 2: throwing the ball to receivers and everybody having a lot 2280 02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:10,800 Speaker 2: of chuckles. And we're so firmly entrenched in the geno 2281 02:02:10,920 --> 02:02:13,160 Speaker 2: Smith era that he doesn't even need to play in 2282 02:02:13,200 --> 02:02:16,200 Speaker 2: the preseason in twenty twenty three, did you think we'd 2283 02:02:16,240 --> 02:02:19,160 Speaker 2: be in a world where Gino Smith wasn't fighting for 2284 02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:23,400 Speaker 2: reps and fighting to hold on to a job. He 2285 02:02:23,480 --> 02:02:25,480 Speaker 2: had a fantastic season and it was one of the 2286 02:02:25,520 --> 02:02:28,520 Speaker 2: great stories we got to chronicle here on Fox Sports 2287 02:02:28,560 --> 02:02:32,240 Speaker 2: Sunday and Fox Football Sunday last year, Bucky, But wow, 2288 02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:33,640 Speaker 2: what a difference a year makes. 2289 02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:38,280 Speaker 1: What a difference a year makes. You're absolutely right. It's 2290 02:02:38,360 --> 02:02:40,840 Speaker 1: one of the things that I don't think anybody could 2291 02:02:40,840 --> 02:02:47,080 Speaker 1: have expected that Geno Smith would be without competition or 2292 02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:50,960 Speaker 1: firmly entrenched as a starting quarterback based on what we 2293 02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:53,800 Speaker 1: thought was going to happen prior to last season. But 2294 02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:57,280 Speaker 1: here we are, and what we're seeing is a team 2295 02:02:58,040 --> 02:03:01,360 Speaker 1: that appears to be more connected than ever when it 2296 02:03:01,440 --> 02:03:05,200 Speaker 1: comes to their I mean, look, they believe in their 2297 02:03:05,320 --> 02:03:08,680 Speaker 1: quarterback and what the quarterback can bring. So I mean, 2298 02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:10,920 Speaker 1: hats off to Pete Carroll. He bet on himself, he 2299 02:03:10,960 --> 02:03:13,960 Speaker 1: bet on his people. He wasn't going to be swayed 2300 02:03:14,040 --> 02:03:17,839 Speaker 1: and kind of pushed into the let Russ Cook movement. 2301 02:03:18,560 --> 02:03:21,000 Speaker 1: He let Russ Cooks elsewhere and He's found a way 2302 02:03:21,040 --> 02:03:22,880 Speaker 1: to rebuild the Seahawks on the fly. 2303 02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:26,760 Speaker 2: And that's the most interesting thing, right. We chronicled it 2304 02:03:26,800 --> 02:03:29,840 Speaker 2: again last year a lot Russell Wilson, but you and 2305 02:03:29,920 --> 02:03:32,120 Speaker 2: I had been talking about it for a while, wondering 2306 02:03:32,200 --> 02:03:34,560 Speaker 2: towards the end of that Seattle run, how much was 2307 02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:38,120 Speaker 2: you know, Russ starting to fall off a bit, and 2308 02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:42,440 Speaker 2: we watched a full collapse, which Sean Payton now famously said, well, 2309 02:03:42,480 --> 02:03:44,880 Speaker 2: you know you had Nathaniel Hackett. He couldn't coached all that. 2310 02:03:45,200 --> 02:03:47,320 Speaker 2: And part of that is talking about part of it 2311 02:03:47,480 --> 02:03:50,080 Speaker 2: is also going well, you know me, I'm a wizard. 2312 02:03:50,240 --> 02:03:52,600 Speaker 2: The unspoken part of it, I'm a wizard. So if 2313 02:03:52,600 --> 02:03:55,480 Speaker 2: it doesn't work, it's all Russell Wilson's fault, which I 2314 02:03:55,560 --> 02:03:58,760 Speaker 2: think a lot of people missed in that diet tribe there. 2315 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:01,480 Speaker 2: It's like, hey, you know my track record I won 2316 02:04:01,600 --> 02:04:04,560 Speaker 2: with these guys, not Nam Breeze. You didn't win anything meaningful, 2317 02:04:04,640 --> 02:04:07,720 Speaker 2: but yeah you won some games along the way. Seahawks 2318 02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:12,640 Speaker 2: thirty five to one to win the Super Bowl. So 2319 02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:14,840 Speaker 2: we put that out there. But I look at this 2320 02:04:15,120 --> 02:04:18,840 Speaker 2: roster Bucky top to bottom, and what they've done in 2321 02:04:18,960 --> 02:04:22,200 Speaker 2: the overhaul, getting away from the Russell Wilson era and 2322 02:04:22,360 --> 02:04:26,360 Speaker 2: going back to basics right, not drafting to worry about him, 2323 02:04:26,440 --> 02:04:31,520 Speaker 2: but drafting your roster to be competitive, to be well rounded, 2324 02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:34,120 Speaker 2: a lot of defenders that have come in the last 2325 02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:37,680 Speaker 2: couple of years and making plays. And then you add 2326 02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:41,040 Speaker 2: on to what's already a really good receiving room by 2327 02:04:41,120 --> 02:04:44,000 Speaker 2: adding Jackson Smith and Jigbo. We saw the highlight reel 2328 02:04:44,440 --> 02:04:47,480 Speaker 2: catch he made in the preseason. Here you add Charbonnet 2329 02:04:47,800 --> 02:04:52,120 Speaker 2: behind Kenneth Walker, who already established himself as a good runner. 2330 02:04:53,400 --> 02:04:56,200 Speaker 2: You're a team equipped and those odds are long, and 2331 02:04:56,240 --> 02:04:59,600 Speaker 2: I think some of that might just be the love 2332 02:04:59,680 --> 02:05:02,720 Speaker 2: of for forty nine ers combined with the lack of 2333 02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,280 Speaker 2: trust that Gino can repeat. But on the surface, this 2334 02:05:06,400 --> 02:05:08,680 Speaker 2: is a roster that I don't know how much different 2335 02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:12,120 Speaker 2: it is from San Francisco's in terms of strength top 2336 02:05:12,160 --> 02:05:12,600 Speaker 2: to bottom. 2337 02:05:14,000 --> 02:05:16,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's pretty solid. Having been up there a 2338 02:05:16,640 --> 02:05:19,000 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, They're pretty solid in what they do 2339 02:05:19,120 --> 02:05:23,080 Speaker 1: and what they have available to them. Offensively, the drafting 2340 02:05:23,160 --> 02:05:26,800 Speaker 1: of Jackson Smith and Jigba gives them three wide receivers 2341 02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:28,880 Speaker 1: that can take the top off the defense, that can 2342 02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:32,480 Speaker 1: win their one on one routes, and so it's they 2343 02:05:32,600 --> 02:05:36,040 Speaker 1: create problems Atlanta Screamers talking about a young officer line 2344 02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,280 Speaker 1: that is good though. I mean they're good right out 2345 02:05:38,280 --> 02:05:40,680 Speaker 1: of the gate. They're really good at running round blocking 2346 02:05:41,000 --> 02:05:42,480 Speaker 1: and they've been able to do that. Then the two 2347 02:05:42,560 --> 02:05:46,240 Speaker 1: backs they have Kenneth Walkers at Charmonay gives them some 2348 02:05:46,440 --> 02:05:50,200 Speaker 1: juice and pop as complimentary backs. Defensively, they've done a 2349 02:05:50,240 --> 02:05:53,600 Speaker 1: really good job of bringing in Draymont Jones, Jared Reed 2350 02:05:53,680 --> 02:05:59,560 Speaker 1: comes back, bringing Bobby Wagner back, you know, Julian Love 2351 02:05:59,600 --> 02:06:01,760 Speaker 1: comes over. I mean, they have a just a talented 2352 02:06:02,200 --> 02:06:04,920 Speaker 1: collection of players, and so they do a really good 2353 02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:06,960 Speaker 1: job of keeping as simple for the players, allowing them 2354 02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:08,720 Speaker 1: to play fast, and then they just go whoop on you. 2355 02:06:09,160 --> 02:06:11,160 Speaker 1: And so it's it's gonna be a fascinating watch. 2356 02:06:11,880 --> 02:06:15,440 Speaker 2: See it's good to see the reinvigorated Pete Carroll. We'll 2357 02:06:15,480 --> 02:06:18,600 Speaker 2: see how long that lasts. Right, just from a how 2358 02:06:18,680 --> 02:06:21,240 Speaker 2: much we love it, because we go through very quick 2359 02:06:21,320 --> 02:06:25,000 Speaker 2: cycles here in our sports media and sports consciousness of 2360 02:06:25,080 --> 02:06:27,120 Speaker 2: how we love something. Oh, it's good to see that 2361 02:06:27,200 --> 02:06:29,120 Speaker 2: guy back. Yeah, I'm tired of that guy again. 2362 02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:29,840 Speaker 1: Right. 2363 02:06:29,880 --> 02:06:32,680 Speaker 2: We loved the Warriors and how they were changing basketball 2364 02:06:33,040 --> 02:06:36,560 Speaker 2: until we decided we didn't like the way basketball looked. Likewise, 2365 02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:39,920 Speaker 2: when Pete Carroll was too happy at USC Bristol and 2366 02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:43,600 Speaker 2: then well he sank, He fled the ship as it 2367 02:06:43,720 --> 02:06:47,360 Speaker 2: was sinking and ran off to Seattle. And you know, 2368 02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:50,280 Speaker 2: Russell Wilson is no longer there and you're in the 2369 02:06:50,320 --> 02:06:54,120 Speaker 2: the rejuvenated part of things, and he's laughing it up. 2370 02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,960 Speaker 2: We got Snoop Dogg and Roger Goodell and everybody chuckling 2371 02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:02,360 Speaker 2: about the video of him throwing passes and quote cooking 2372 02:07:02,600 --> 02:07:06,800 Speaker 2: the defensive backs laughing it up as hey, you know 2373 02:07:06,960 --> 02:07:09,000 Speaker 2: those are young men out there. How could you do 2374 02:07:09,240 --> 02:07:12,480 Speaker 2: that to them and demean them that way? So a 2375 02:07:12,560 --> 02:07:15,480 Speaker 2: lot a lot of fun going on in that Seattle camp. 2376 02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,080 Speaker 2: So I'm curious to watch how it plays out. I 2377 02:07:18,160 --> 02:07:20,800 Speaker 2: know our guy Dan Byer, he's got to be smiling 2378 02:07:21,160 --> 02:07:24,080 Speaker 2: to a degree, even though he's uneasy when when you 2379 02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:27,160 Speaker 2: you have Gino Smith at the helm wondering if it 2380 02:07:27,240 --> 02:07:33,400 Speaker 2: turns into a pumpkin at the strike at midnight. But 2381 02:07:33,560 --> 02:07:36,440 Speaker 2: we certainly have an NFC Wes that is that is 2382 02:07:36,800 --> 02:07:40,200 Speaker 2: ready to be contentious, because what do you think of 2383 02:07:40,240 --> 02:07:43,680 Speaker 2: the rams right, a team that's dismissed McVeigh comes back. 2384 02:07:44,160 --> 02:07:48,440 Speaker 2: Stafford physically, we're not sure you know what he's got 2385 02:07:48,720 --> 02:07:51,720 Speaker 2: full on, but they've seemed to have bought into cam 2386 02:07:51,840 --> 02:07:57,120 Speaker 2: Akers and now you with Cooper Cup, they're and healthy again. 2387 02:07:57,680 --> 02:08:01,560 Speaker 2: Aaron Donald, you got everybody except because he dressed yesterday 2388 02:08:01,600 --> 02:08:05,080 Speaker 2: and led his defensive unit out for warm ups and 2389 02:08:05,160 --> 02:08:06,680 Speaker 2: then he was in street close by the time they 2390 02:08:06,760 --> 02:08:09,240 Speaker 2: kicked the game off. So a little bit of false 2391 02:08:09,280 --> 02:08:11,720 Speaker 2: hope that he wanted to get some live action after 2392 02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:15,240 Speaker 2: they got run over by the Chargers last year, but 2393 02:08:15,760 --> 02:08:18,880 Speaker 2: that was something certainly their first two preseason games Bucky 2394 02:08:19,200 --> 02:08:21,600 Speaker 2: and I know Donald didn't play, but they got run 2395 02:08:21,680 --> 02:08:25,720 Speaker 2: over and handled pretty easily defensively here these first two 2396 02:08:25,760 --> 02:08:26,240 Speaker 2: games out. 2397 02:08:27,520 --> 02:08:29,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it comes down to players, no matter what 2398 02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:35,480 Speaker 1: they can. Morris can can be the best guy with 2399 02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:38,640 Speaker 1: the pen on the grease board, but if you don't 2400 02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:43,320 Speaker 1: have the players, it's hopeless. I mean it's in exercising futility, 2401 02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:47,080 Speaker 1: and so I don't know how they change it. I 2402 02:08:47,120 --> 02:08:49,880 Speaker 1: don't know how they turn it on and become a 2403 02:08:50,000 --> 02:08:52,680 Speaker 1: much better team. It's one of I would say, not 2404 02:08:52,800 --> 02:08:55,520 Speaker 1: the mystery. I mean, it's a huge mystery in terms 2405 02:08:55,520 --> 02:08:58,360 Speaker 1: of how Sean McVay is going to get this team 2406 02:08:58,480 --> 02:09:01,560 Speaker 1: back on track, you know, because I just don't know 2407 02:09:01,600 --> 02:09:03,760 Speaker 1: if they have enough talent and fire parwery to be 2408 02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:05,360 Speaker 1: able to compete with some of the top teams. 2409 02:09:05,880 --> 02:09:10,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, the receiving corps beyond cup is a bit thin. 2410 02:09:10,680 --> 02:09:14,760 Speaker 2: A lot of names look including a former Northwestern wide 2411 02:09:14,800 --> 02:09:17,720 Speaker 2: receiver that you lean on a butt a bunch last year. 2412 02:09:17,800 --> 02:09:20,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean akers was a guy that seemed 2413 02:09:20,080 --> 02:09:21,960 Speaker 2: to be on the out. So while you're not in 2414 02:09:22,080 --> 02:09:26,400 Speaker 2: full rebuild mode, I could certainly buy into conversations of, hey, 2415 02:09:26,520 --> 02:09:30,240 Speaker 2: we looked into the possibility of trading Matthew Stafford in 2416 02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:32,960 Speaker 2: the offseason, and some of those reports based on what 2417 02:09:33,040 --> 02:09:35,920 Speaker 2: you're coming back to. But I am happy that Sean 2418 02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:38,760 Speaker 2: McVay did decide to grace us with his presence, because 2419 02:09:38,760 --> 02:09:43,040 Speaker 2: otherwise we'd be merciless in whatever TV role or exercising 2420 02:09:43,680 --> 02:09:46,160 Speaker 2: exercising his option to go out. But it would appear 2421 02:09:46,200 --> 02:09:48,280 Speaker 2: to be a two team race because Arizona, I think 2422 02:09:48,320 --> 02:09:52,600 Speaker 2: everybody's got pegged to be roundly looking at a Caleb 2423 02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:55,320 Speaker 2: Williams sweepstake when it's all said and done. 2424 02:09:56,920 --> 02:09:59,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's what that's what it could be, 2425 02:09:59,320 --> 02:10:04,560 Speaker 1: and that's fascinat in itself. The debate between caller Murray 2426 02:10:05,160 --> 02:10:10,200 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, what should the Cardinals do if the circumstances 2427 02:10:10,240 --> 02:10:13,160 Speaker 1: play out like that? But you know, the one thing 2428 02:10:13,200 --> 02:10:15,360 Speaker 1: that we know is we don't know anything when it 2429 02:10:15,400 --> 02:10:18,240 Speaker 1: comes to this stuff. That things will change as we 2430 02:10:18,280 --> 02:10:20,640 Speaker 1: get into the regular season in terms of who we 2431 02:10:20,920 --> 02:10:23,720 Speaker 1: like and who improves. Last year, we never would have 2432 02:10:23,720 --> 02:10:25,440 Speaker 1: thought that the Seattle Seahawks would have been a team 2433 02:10:25,440 --> 02:10:30,760 Speaker 1: that's a playoff team with the Rams. Maybe Sean McVeigh 2434 02:10:30,800 --> 02:10:33,320 Speaker 1: can kind of pull a rabbit out of the hat. 2435 02:10:33,480 --> 02:10:37,920 Speaker 1: He has some magic still left in that offensive wizardry 2436 02:10:38,040 --> 02:10:41,240 Speaker 1: mind of his. But I don't know, man. I think 2437 02:10:41,800 --> 02:10:43,480 Speaker 1: they're gonna have a tough time because they don't have 2438 02:10:43,520 --> 02:10:48,000 Speaker 1: a lot of talent. And then the Cardinals, look, the 2439 02:10:48,080 --> 02:10:50,200 Speaker 1: new coach has been very creative in the preseason. He's 2440 02:10:50,240 --> 02:10:52,680 Speaker 1: been very aggressive, far more aggressive than he was as 2441 02:10:53,120 --> 02:10:57,040 Speaker 1: at any point doing his Eagles tenure as their defensive coordinators. 2442 02:10:57,080 --> 02:11:01,880 Speaker 1: So maybe it changes, but we'll stick with the Seahawks 2443 02:11:02,080 --> 02:11:05,320 Speaker 1: and the Niners being the class of that division, and 2444 02:11:05,520 --> 02:11:09,400 Speaker 1: who knows how many wins. The Cardinals and Rams can 2445 02:11:09,520 --> 02:11:11,360 Speaker 1: kind of come up with between them. 2446 02:11:11,760 --> 02:11:15,440 Speaker 2: Well, let's get some Clayton tune out there out of Houston. Right, 2447 02:11:15,480 --> 02:11:21,440 Speaker 2: we've seen Colt McCoy. Let's go. Let's get another rookie 2448 02:11:21,520 --> 02:11:25,400 Speaker 2: quarterback out there, Bucky come on now, I mean, yeah, 2449 02:11:25,480 --> 02:11:27,720 Speaker 2: am I getting a little bit too good? Easy there? Yeah? 2450 02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:29,400 Speaker 1: I mean why not just throw them out there? Throw 2451 02:11:29,440 --> 02:11:32,560 Speaker 1: them to the wolves. Who knows, like based on brock 2452 02:11:32,600 --> 02:11:34,800 Speaker 1: Pritty last year, who knows how he would handle it 2453 02:11:34,840 --> 02:11:36,280 Speaker 1: if he got his opportunity there? 2454 02:11:36,280 --> 02:11:39,200 Speaker 2: You go, get your fight fire with fire as it 2455 02:11:39,240 --> 02:11:41,480 Speaker 2: were heavy. Sometimes you just got to throw a guy 2456 02:11:41,520 --> 02:11:43,560 Speaker 2: into a situation, see what you can do, because if 2457 02:11:43,560 --> 02:11:46,400 Speaker 2: you're already expected to look in no disrespect to the 2458 02:11:46,440 --> 02:11:48,320 Speaker 2: guys playing there, I mean, you're gonna play with heart 2459 02:11:48,440 --> 02:11:52,000 Speaker 2: because you're playing for your next deal, in your next contract. 2460 02:11:52,120 --> 02:11:55,520 Speaker 2: But we talk about, you know, the Rams and having 2461 02:11:55,640 --> 02:11:58,080 Speaker 2: talent at a couple of positions and a lot of 2462 02:11:58,160 --> 02:12:01,360 Speaker 2: question marks. I think that's where we're at for Arizona overall, 2463 02:12:01,680 --> 02:12:04,520 Speaker 2: Although it does seem that the new regime, GM and 2464 02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:09,440 Speaker 2: coach have mended some fences and maybe found the best 2465 02:12:10,120 --> 02:12:12,680 Speaker 2: for the future for Kyler Murray, but that remains to 2466 02:12:12,720 --> 02:12:15,160 Speaker 2: be seen. We need to see him back on a 2467 02:12:15,280 --> 02:12:19,360 Speaker 2: field before we can start actually grating. I gotta do 2468 02:12:19,480 --> 02:12:21,360 Speaker 2: that because you know, we are back to school now 2469 02:12:21,640 --> 02:12:25,640 Speaker 2: and everybody immediately getting themselves immersed into quizzes and tests 2470 02:12:26,080 --> 02:12:29,000 Speaker 2: once again. He's Bucky Brooks on by Carmen Here, Fox 2471 02:12:29,040 --> 02:12:33,720 Speaker 2: Sports Sunday, Fox Sports Radio. And the last couple of 2472 02:12:33,760 --> 02:12:36,800 Speaker 2: weeks we've been talking a lot about this Michael orr situation. 2473 02:12:37,560 --> 02:12:40,240 Speaker 2: Well there's a quarterback down in Tampa Bay who's got 2474 02:12:40,360 --> 02:12:46,600 Speaker 2: something else cooking when it comes to potential fiduciary irresponsibility 2475 02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:52,240 Speaker 2: slash mismanagement slash dare I say it fraud. We'll tell 2476 02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:54,320 Speaker 2: you what it is, what that's all about, and we'll 2477 02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:57,480 Speaker 2: talk about their team's chances for this year coming up next. 2478 02:12:57,560 --> 02:12:59,720 Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks how by Carmen In.

Mike Carmen, Bucky Brooks with you. We got 2486 02:13:22,760 --> 02:13:26,240 Speaker 2: some Little League World Series action. I know that's something 2487 02:13:26,360 --> 02:13:29,560 Speaker 2: Andy and Rob Parker were hot on earlier in the week. 2488 02:13:29,840 --> 02:13:34,640 Speaker 2: You can find the archives iHeartRadio app, Fox Sports Radio 2489 02:13:34,760 --> 02:13:37,000 Speaker 2: dot com wherever you get your audio. That was from 2490 02:13:37,040 --> 02:13:39,280 Speaker 2: the Odd Couple. But Bucky, I know there's been a 2491 02:13:39,360 --> 02:13:42,360 Speaker 2: lot of handwringing over the Little League World Series and 2492 02:13:42,440 --> 02:13:45,880 Speaker 2: the fact that it's on TV. Like, I just want 2493 02:13:45,920 --> 02:13:47,800 Speaker 2: to know, are these teams getting some of their flights 2494 02:13:47,840 --> 02:13:50,080 Speaker 2: and stuff paid for? Because as long as they're getting 2495 02:13:50,080 --> 02:13:52,160 Speaker 2: a little bit of juice there, then I got no 2496 02:13:52,280 --> 02:13:52,800 Speaker 2: problem with it. 2497 02:13:55,200 --> 02:13:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah. Is one of those things from I think got 2498 02:13:57,800 --> 02:14:00,680 Speaker 1: childhood that we've always loved to fascinate about the Little 2499 02:14:00,720 --> 02:14:03,400 Speaker 1: League World Series. But it's become a major production, right, 2500 02:14:03,840 --> 02:14:06,920 Speaker 1: so you see the kids the kids certainly know. I 2501 02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:10,400 Speaker 1: watched one where this is before the World Series, where 2502 02:14:10,960 --> 02:14:13,720 Speaker 1: a series of kids on a team they were taughting 2503 02:14:13,840 --> 02:14:16,320 Speaker 1: the other team after hitting home runs and doing all 2504 02:14:16,440 --> 02:14:19,480 Speaker 1: kinds of stuff, the theatrical celebrations, and then they end 2505 02:14:19,560 --> 02:14:22,920 Speaker 1: up losing a different thing. It's more of a spectacle 2506 02:14:23,400 --> 02:14:26,040 Speaker 1: than like the I don't know, feel good story that 2507 02:14:26,080 --> 02:14:28,320 Speaker 1: it once was. But I dig it. I mean, I 2508 02:14:28,480 --> 02:14:30,520 Speaker 1: like all sports. So it's great because for some of 2509 02:14:30,600 --> 02:14:33,320 Speaker 1: these kids this to be the pinnacle of their athletic careers. 2510 02:14:33,840 --> 02:14:35,440 Speaker 1: So let them ball out and have fun. 2511 02:14:35,400 --> 02:14:37,360 Speaker 2: Getting a little bit of a run. But you also 2512 02:14:37,440 --> 02:14:41,040 Speaker 2: get to see the adults at their worst sportsmanship and 2513 02:14:41,400 --> 02:14:44,960 Speaker 2: what's being taught at every level, which is always the 2514 02:14:45,080 --> 02:14:48,120 Speaker 2: sad thing. But I mean, I just remember from ABC's 2515 02:14:48,160 --> 02:14:51,640 Speaker 2: Wide World of Sports growing up, showing my age. But now, 2516 02:14:51,720 --> 02:14:55,080 Speaker 2: in a world of twenty four to seven, multi channel, 2517 02:14:55,240 --> 02:14:58,800 Speaker 2: multi platform, what more can we give you of live 2518 02:14:58,920 --> 02:15:02,520 Speaker 2: sporting events that can captivate folks, because, let's face it, 2519 02:15:03,200 --> 02:15:04,800 Speaker 2: get them on, get them over, get them in. In 2520 02:15:04,880 --> 02:15:08,320 Speaker 2: that regard, we're watching all the streaming numbers where unless 2521 02:15:08,360 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 2: you're the Pac twelve, you can find a deal out there. 2522 02:15:11,920 --> 02:15:15,640 Speaker 2: You see what I did there? Oh no, I just 2523 02:15:15,800 --> 02:15:18,000 Speaker 2: sideswiped the poor Pac twelve. 2524 02:15:18,240 --> 02:15:24,720 Speaker 1: Poor Peck twelve, Poor Peck twelve. Oh yeah, like what 2525 02:15:26,120 --> 02:15:28,080 Speaker 1: to make of whatever it is? Now? 2526 02:15:28,200 --> 02:15:29,520 Speaker 2: The Pack four that's it? 2527 02:15:29,760 --> 02:15:32,680 Speaker 1: Those things? But yeah, poor Pack twelve, Well. 2528 02:15:32,520 --> 02:15:35,640 Speaker 2: It's a tough puff. You get sucked into other conferences 2529 02:15:35,760 --> 02:15:38,680 Speaker 2: and then you start seeing what some of the financials 2530 02:15:38,760 --> 02:15:42,560 Speaker 2: were and then going back to that same idea of 2531 02:15:43,640 --> 02:15:45,680 Speaker 2: know you're worth, just like we were talking about a 2532 02:15:45,720 --> 02:15:49,000 Speaker 2: little last hour with James Harden running back position and 2533 02:15:49,120 --> 02:15:52,040 Speaker 2: all of those things.

Fox Sports Sunday. Here Fox Sports Radio. 2536 02:16:00,040 --> 02:16:02,960 Speaker 2: We talked a lot about Michael orr in the situation. 2537 02:16:03,160 --> 02:16:05,560 Speaker 2: We've read a lot of the complaints. I have a 2538 02:16:05,640 --> 02:16:08,480 Speaker 2: trading card that suddenly the twoy parents are part of. 2539 02:16:08,960 --> 02:16:12,280 Speaker 2: It's a job Morant rookie card which already had a 2540 02:16:12,360 --> 02:16:16,040 Speaker 2: couple of rappers on it that made it a famous card, 2541 02:16:16,400 --> 02:16:18,600 Speaker 2: and now the twoe'es are in the background. So suddenly 2542 02:16:18,720 --> 02:16:23,040 Speaker 2: that's back in the news. But you talk about the conservatorship, 2543 02:16:23,320 --> 02:16:26,320 Speaker 2: you talk about adoption, the blind side, all of those things, 2544 02:16:26,640 --> 02:16:28,920 Speaker 2: and now it looks like we're going to court. Well, 2545 02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:31,920 Speaker 2: we've got another situation brewing here down in Tampa with 2546 02:16:32,040 --> 02:16:34,760 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, and no it's not the fight for the 2547 02:16:34,840 --> 02:16:38,080 Speaker 2: starting job with Kyle Trask, which it appears he's won, 2548 02:16:38,600 --> 02:16:43,280 Speaker 2: but Mayfield and his wife petitioned an Austin, Texas court 2549 02:16:43,600 --> 02:16:47,360 Speaker 2: to begin depositions against six companies. Two of them were 2550 02:16:47,520 --> 02:16:51,440 Speaker 2: founded by Mayfield's father, James. They want to know what 2551 02:16:51,560 --> 02:16:54,920 Speaker 2: happened to roughly twelve million dollars that was invested in 2552 02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:58,760 Speaker 2: those companies. Quote, they don't know if their money was 2553 02:16:58,840 --> 02:17:03,520 Speaker 2: properly or competently invested, has been stolen or otherwise misappropriated, 2554 02:17:04,040 --> 02:17:09,280 Speaker 2: or something in between. Full disclosure. That's it. Let's go 2555 02:17:09,400 --> 02:17:11,800 Speaker 2: to the numbers, Let's go to the videotape and get 2556 02:17:11,840 --> 02:17:15,320 Speaker 2: those forensic accountants in there. But I wonder how much 2557 02:17:15,440 --> 02:17:17,920 Speaker 2: many more of these cases we're gonna start seeing, Right, 2558 02:17:17,959 --> 02:17:20,760 Speaker 2: we always talked about it in boxing back in the day, 2559 02:17:20,879 --> 02:17:24,600 Speaker 2: Bucky or you know, some high profile athletes here and there. 2560 02:17:24,720 --> 02:17:28,080 Speaker 2: We had the series of specials you know, called Broke 2561 02:17:28,560 --> 02:17:30,520 Speaker 2: and all of that, and start contrast to guys like 2562 02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:35,000 Speaker 2: Shaquille O'Neal and some others who own hundreds of franchises 2563 02:17:35,040 --> 02:17:38,160 Speaker 2: and whatever else. But I mean, how much more are 2564 02:17:38,160 --> 02:17:40,000 Speaker 2: we going to see on the heels of this or 2565 02:17:40,400 --> 02:17:43,880 Speaker 2: not that the conservatorship would be common, but this Baker 2566 02:17:43,959 --> 02:17:47,440 Speaker 2: Mayfield thing, where you've got family and trusted folks that 2567 02:17:48,000 --> 02:17:48,879 Speaker 2: maybe shouldn't have been. 2568 02:17:51,000 --> 02:17:54,320 Speaker 1: This is the toughest situation for athletes to deal with, right, 2569 02:17:54,840 --> 02:17:58,080 Speaker 1: And the reason why it's so tough is because you're 2570 02:17:58,120 --> 02:18:01,400 Speaker 1: supposed to trust your family to the end. Right. You 2571 02:18:01,520 --> 02:18:04,880 Speaker 1: suppose you grow up believing that the people around you 2572 02:18:05,120 --> 02:18:08,000 Speaker 1: in your family have your best interest at heart in 2573 02:18:08,080 --> 02:18:12,000 Speaker 1: every decision that they make, and so when you make it. 2574 02:18:12,200 --> 02:18:15,920 Speaker 1: And let's also say this, Baker Mayfield didn't come from 2575 02:18:16,400 --> 02:18:21,840 Speaker 1: impoverished situations. Baker Mayfield, by all accounts, came from a 2576 02:18:21,959 --> 02:18:25,200 Speaker 1: very solid, if not well to do background and lifestyle. 2577 02:18:25,280 --> 02:18:28,320 Speaker 1: And so he and his people have been around money. 2578 02:18:28,400 --> 02:18:30,400 Speaker 1: So it's not like you have a bunch of novices 2579 02:18:31,200 --> 02:18:34,240 Speaker 1: delving in money. And so for Baker Mayfield, I know, 2580 02:18:34,320 --> 02:18:38,920 Speaker 1: this is extremely disappointing to think that someone or a 2581 02:18:39,080 --> 02:18:41,480 Speaker 1: series of people, or a group of people in your 2582 02:18:41,560 --> 02:18:45,960 Speaker 1: family will take advantage of you. Man, that's hard. And 2583 02:18:46,160 --> 02:18:48,600 Speaker 1: then when you talk about the significant sum of money, 2584 02:18:48,640 --> 02:18:52,400 Speaker 1: because I saw where maybe his career earnings where it 2585 02:18:52,680 --> 02:18:57,119 Speaker 1: maybe was it twenty four or twenty four million during 2586 02:18:57,200 --> 02:19:01,000 Speaker 1: the time frame in which they're alleging the appropriation, right, 2587 02:19:01,360 --> 02:19:05,880 Speaker 1: twenty four million, twelve million of that being gone, that's 2588 02:19:05,920 --> 02:19:09,920 Speaker 1: a sizable chunk of money. And so I look, I 2589 02:19:10,040 --> 02:19:12,440 Speaker 1: feel bad for him, whether or not I love him 2590 02:19:12,440 --> 02:19:14,000 Speaker 1: as a player. It has not. Man, you'd never want 2591 02:19:14,040 --> 02:19:17,200 Speaker 1: anyone to be be taking advantage of in the way 2592 02:19:17,240 --> 02:19:18,600 Speaker 1: in which he's been taking advantage of it. 2593 02:19:18,720 --> 02:19:20,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you look at it for a career, 2594 02:19:20,280 --> 02:19:22,600 Speaker 2: and again this is spo track, So we hang a 2595 02:19:22,680 --> 02:19:27,280 Speaker 2: star on it. Career earnings they estimated forty eight. Then 2596 02:19:27,360 --> 02:19:30,680 Speaker 2: we siphon off taxes, agent feed management, all that other 2597 02:19:30,760 --> 02:19:34,760 Speaker 2: stuff and go down. But twelve million dollars is a 2598 02:19:34,879 --> 02:19:37,880 Speaker 2: significant amount of money to anybody, Like even when we 2599 02:19:37,959 --> 02:19:40,480 Speaker 2: start getting into those hey, that's you know the two 2600 02:19:40,640 --> 02:19:43,039 Speaker 2: hundred million. Why would the guy go to Texas, Like, well, 2601 02:19:43,120 --> 02:19:44,959 Speaker 2: he's already making it two hundred million. It's like, well, 2602 02:19:45,000 --> 02:19:50,320 Speaker 2: that's you know, over a course of a standard contract. 2603 02:19:50,400 --> 02:19:53,480 Speaker 2: You're an air you know, California or New Jersey, New York. 2604 02:19:53,800 --> 02:19:56,640 Speaker 2: That's twenty million dollars you get to keep, right if 2605 02:19:56,680 --> 02:19:59,080 Speaker 2: you go to Texas or Florida. So it which is 2606 02:19:59,200 --> 02:20:01,560 Speaker 2: not an insign get amount of money. I mean, you 2607 02:20:01,640 --> 02:20:04,080 Speaker 2: know the old Montgomery Burns line that I tried out 2608 02:20:04,120 --> 02:20:06,680 Speaker 2: all the time. You know, I'd trade it all for 2609 02:20:06,800 --> 02:20:10,920 Speaker 2: a little more. But it's yeah, it is that difficult 2610 02:20:11,000 --> 02:20:14,120 Speaker 2: situation now from Mayfield, Like if you got to be 2611 02:20:14,200 --> 02:20:17,840 Speaker 2: worrying about that in addition to trying to restart your career, 2612 02:20:18,760 --> 02:20:21,200 Speaker 2: it's that's a tough run. But we look at the 2613 02:20:21,240 --> 02:20:23,160 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay Buccaneers if we want to go down that 2614 02:20:23,280 --> 02:20:29,039 Speaker 2: division really quickly. Here, Bucky, the Saints are interesting defensively, 2615 02:20:29,560 --> 02:20:31,680 Speaker 2: look like they should be on par They're gonna miss 2616 02:20:31,840 --> 02:20:34,040 Speaker 2: Kamara for a couple of games with the suspension, but 2617 02:20:34,080 --> 02:20:37,440 Speaker 2: they brought in Jamal Williams Derek Carr with a lave. 2618 02:20:38,640 --> 02:20:41,400 Speaker 2: I don't know what Michael Thomas is and can be 2619 02:20:41,760 --> 02:20:45,600 Speaker 2: and whatever else. We had that overnight story of Jimmy 2620 02:20:45,640 --> 02:20:49,800 Speaker 2: Graham in his return, good thoughts to him medical experience 2621 02:20:49,840 --> 02:20:53,000 Speaker 2: and you know, something goes wrong medically and you know, 2622 02:20:53,160 --> 02:20:56,400 Speaker 2: to the point where they're you know, fearful, you know, 2623 02:20:56,480 --> 02:20:59,959 Speaker 2: and have police and all. That was a pretty terrifying 2624 02:21:00,160 --> 02:21:03,640 Speaker 2: story to follow there. Hopefully he's all right, getting whatever 2625 02:21:03,760 --> 02:21:07,400 Speaker 2: help he needs. But Atlanta, good running game. B John 2626 02:21:07,480 --> 02:21:10,000 Speaker 2: Robinson looks still electrified, but we don't know what Desmond 2627 02:21:10,040 --> 02:21:14,160 Speaker 2: Ritter is. And then Carolina through their first two preseason games. 2628 02:21:15,200 --> 02:21:18,080 Speaker 2: The rebuild for Frank Reich's gonna take a little bit longer. 2629 02:21:19,520 --> 02:21:23,560 Speaker 1: Oh for sure, it's gonna take It's gonna take a 2630 02:21:23,600 --> 02:21:26,000 Speaker 1: little longer. Coming in thought maybe this team would be 2631 02:21:26,040 --> 02:21:27,600 Speaker 1: able to rock and roll, and who knows is still 2632 02:21:27,600 --> 02:21:32,880 Speaker 1: preseason short. The offensive line, the young quarterback and their 2633 02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:35,800 Speaker 1: ability a willness to assemble a running game. All those 2634 02:21:35,800 --> 02:21:38,040 Speaker 1: things will really determine whether they're able to kind of 2635 02:21:38,040 --> 02:21:41,360 Speaker 1: get in the race and compete. They can't put too 2636 02:21:41,480 --> 02:21:43,960 Speaker 1: much on Bryce Young early. They have to make sure 2637 02:21:44,040 --> 02:21:49,800 Speaker 1: that they have like the complimentary attack balance, running game, play, action, 2638 02:21:49,959 --> 02:21:52,600 Speaker 1: passing game, solid offensive line. I don't know if that 2639 02:21:52,680 --> 02:21:55,320 Speaker 1: offensive line is up to par when it comes to 2640 02:21:55,920 --> 02:21:57,160 Speaker 1: the way they need to play. 2641 02:21:57,920 --> 02:22:01,240 Speaker 2: So it looked to me that, you know, barring and implosion, 2642 02:22:01,400 --> 02:22:05,760 Speaker 2: Tampa's got enough talent on that offense. Whether Mayfield or 2643 02:22:05,840 --> 02:22:09,760 Speaker 2: Trask eventually is your guy. But Rashad White acquitted himself 2644 02:22:09,840 --> 02:22:13,240 Speaker 2: quite quite nicely last year. You bring in Chase Edmonds, 2645 02:22:13,680 --> 02:22:17,840 Speaker 2: Evans and Godwin are your key receivers. Wurfs comes back 2646 02:22:17,879 --> 02:22:22,000 Speaker 2: to the offensive line. Ryan Jensen, we'll keep and hang 2647 02:22:22,040 --> 02:22:25,240 Speaker 2: a star on him, But we look at the depth 2648 02:22:25,360 --> 02:22:28,800 Speaker 2: chart and you've got a great linebacking corps, some talent 2649 02:22:29,200 --> 02:22:33,440 Speaker 2: in the secondary. In theory, you're in a position where 2650 02:22:33,440 --> 02:22:37,080 Speaker 2: you're competing for a division crown against Derek Carr and 2651 02:22:37,120 --> 02:22:37,600 Speaker 2: the Saints. 2652 02:22:40,240 --> 02:22:43,800 Speaker 1: In theory, In theory you are. In theory you are. 2653 02:22:44,640 --> 02:22:47,760 Speaker 1: Is a matter of can they close the gap between 2654 02:22:47,800 --> 02:22:50,560 Speaker 1: them and the Saints. The Saints advantages lies in their 2655 02:22:50,680 --> 02:22:54,840 Speaker 1: experience talented rosta, but it's more of an experience of 2656 02:22:54,959 --> 02:22:58,400 Speaker 1: veteran Leyden roster where they're older, they understand how to play, 2657 02:22:58,440 --> 02:22:59,800 Speaker 1: and so to knock them off, you have to be 2658 02:22:59,879 --> 02:23:03,000 Speaker 1: on your p's and q's. In terms of situational football, 2659 02:23:04,120 --> 02:23:07,480 Speaker 1: what we're talking about with the Panthers best players are young, 2660 02:23:08,000 --> 02:23:10,400 Speaker 1: the young and talented, particularly on defense. They can get 2661 02:23:10,440 --> 02:23:15,600 Speaker 1: after but new system, new scheme, new roles and responsibilities. 2662 02:23:15,800 --> 02:23:19,600 Speaker 1: How they take to that a little more uncertainty with 2663 02:23:19,760 --> 02:23:21,760 Speaker 1: the Panthers and some of the other teams in the 2664 02:23:21,800 --> 02:23:24,040 Speaker 1: division than with the Saints themselves. 2665 02:23:24,240 --> 02:23:26,520 Speaker 2: This is true. Jonathan Mango looks like it could be 2666 02:23:26,600 --> 02:23:30,800 Speaker 2: a star eventually at wide receiver. Curiosity of Bryce Young 2667 02:23:30,840 --> 02:23:33,240 Speaker 2: You know me. I always celebrate the anniversaries of the 2668 02:23:33,320 --> 02:23:38,600 Speaker 2: Andy Dalton QB one Instagram posts from the Bears because 2669 02:23:38,640 --> 02:23:43,960 Speaker 2: that's entertaining, maybe only to me.

We 2741 02:28:16,040 --> 02:28:19,720 Speaker 2: didn't have one more note about the Patriots because they 2742 02:28:19,800 --> 02:28:22,800 Speaker 2: have announced at the bottom of their health update on 2743 02:28:22,879 --> 02:28:25,840 Speaker 2: Bolden Quote, due to the circumstances surrounding the abrupt and 2744 02:28:25,920 --> 02:28:29,000 Speaker 2: unexpected ending the last night's game, the Patriots are going 2745 02:28:29,080 --> 02:28:32,520 Speaker 2: to return to Foxborough joint practices that were scheduled with 2746 02:28:32,600 --> 02:28:35,520 Speaker 2: the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday and Wednesday have been canceled. 2747 02:28:35,840 --> 02:28:38,160 Speaker 2: The team will train in Foxborough this week and then 2748 02:28:38,240 --> 02:28:42,280 Speaker 2: fly to Nashville on Thursday for Friday nights games. So 2749 02:28:43,120 --> 02:28:46,720 Speaker 2: an adjustment based on the injury. Also, you know, looking 2750 02:28:46,800 --> 02:28:51,160 Speaker 2: at the back to back practices and then full games 2751 02:28:51,240 --> 02:28:54,600 Speaker 2: and those schedules, and we're watching it, Bucky Himan, it's 2752 02:28:54,680 --> 02:28:57,120 Speaker 2: like a you know, you're trying to pull the strings 2753 02:28:57,200 --> 02:29:00,600 Speaker 2: to figure out how much is good work, how much 2754 02:29:00,720 --> 02:29:03,480 Speaker 2: is too much work, and then making sure you're being 2755 02:29:04,080 --> 02:29:07,160 Speaker 2: diligent and careful about your player's health going into the season. 2756 02:29:09,080 --> 02:29:12,440 Speaker 1: You absolutely want to health is a priority. We talked 2757 02:29:12,480 --> 02:29:14,920 Speaker 1: about different approaches that people take towards training camp, but 2758 02:29:14,959 --> 02:29:17,280 Speaker 1: the number one objective is to get to the regular 2759 02:29:17,320 --> 02:29:21,680 Speaker 1: season with all your guys available to you. With the 2760 02:29:21,760 --> 02:29:23,800 Speaker 1: situation bold, and you want to make sure that, Okay, 2761 02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:25,640 Speaker 1: let's dial it back. Let's make sure we get everybody 2762 02:29:25,760 --> 02:29:27,720 Speaker 1: locked in and focused, because that could be very traumatic 2763 02:29:27,920 --> 02:29:30,840 Speaker 1: also for the players to see, so it takes them 2764 02:29:30,840 --> 02:29:32,960 Speaker 1: a while to kind of regroup and reset. So I 2765 02:29:33,120 --> 02:29:37,160 Speaker 1: understand Bill Belichick's mentality when it comes to, hey, guys, 2766 02:29:37,520 --> 02:29:40,720 Speaker 1: let's counsel these joint practices. Let's focus on us, and 2767 02:29:41,120 --> 02:29:46,360 Speaker 1: what he's doing is see regaining or taking control of 2768 02:29:46,480 --> 02:29:49,240 Speaker 1: the situation for the guys. And he may change the 2769 02:29:49,280 --> 02:29:51,240 Speaker 1: practice schedule a little bit. He may go with or 2770 02:29:51,320 --> 02:29:53,959 Speaker 1: without pads based on what he feels like they need 2771 02:29:54,280 --> 02:29:57,480 Speaker 1: as he's gauging their tone intended when they walk in 2772 02:29:57,520 --> 02:29:57,920 Speaker 1: the building. 2773 02:29:58,200 --> 02:30:00,960 Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks on myke garment.
