1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,840
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 2: It is Week seven in the National Football League.

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 3: Let's ride.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: I tell you what, I'll mark it down from as

5
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,160
Speaker 2: a weakness of me. This is one of those things

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: that I wish wasn't the way it was about me.

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,080
Speaker 2: But you know, when you're driving and you get frustrated

8
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: with what people are doing out there in front of you,

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 2: other drivers around you. Yeah, I don't get like, I

10
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,159
Speaker 2: don't want to flip the bird. I don't want to

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: chase anybody. It's not that I'm not that angry, right,

12
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 2: I'm not like that. But do you want to know

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: what goes.

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,480
Speaker 3: Through my head?

15
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 2: I almost it's like I want to pull them over.

16
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: I want to pull them over and go.

17
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,239
Speaker 4: You want to make a citizens you want to get

18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 4: that issue with citation.

19
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: I just want to talk to them because I want

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 2: to understand what you're doing. I want to understand. I

21
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 2: want to talk to them. I want to be like,

22
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: that's not the way you do it.

23
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 4: That's not doing more psychotic than whatever they're doing.

24
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: It's completely I just said it's something I wish was

25
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 2: not the way that it was. But I just it's like, right,

26
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 2: can we talk? What are you doing out here and

27
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 2: and aphram that is what is on my mind after

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: watching football today. I think I've got three or four

29
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: teams specifically that I really want to pull aside and

30
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: I want to I want to have a chat with them.

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 2: I just what are you doing? What are you doing?

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: Where do you want me to start? Do you want

33
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 2: me to?

34
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 4: I want you to start with the most pressing for you?

35
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 4: And I think I know you which one is?

36
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: You know what are you pressing for me?

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: For you?

38
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 4: I'm I'm ready to to be your counselor and your therapist.

39

Speaker 1: So put your feet up, all right, Well.

40
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Let me let me get it. It is almost like

41
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 2: let me go to the restroom before we start, because

42
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: it's going to be a minute. So let me just

43
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:02,520

47
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: I'm here, I'm present, Let's talk.

48
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: I remember run it what.

49
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: That was in a big moment. Yes, and for those

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: for those of our listeners who don't know we're talking

51
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: about the game that just ended a half hour ago,

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl rematch, that was one of the most

53
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: undisciplined performances by a supposed contending team in a big

54
00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 2: moment that I think I have ever seen in my

55
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: entire life, like truly decision making that made no sense

56
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: in key moments. Obviously not dealing with trauma. Well, there

57
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 2: was tons of it. When you go in already missing

58
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 2: Juwan Jennings, Okay, you're missing your third receiver whatever, than

59
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:03,360
Speaker 2: Deebo sick. He's out. Brandon I you probably tore his

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 2: ACL He's out. Next thing you know, the leading receiver

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: on the field is literally in his first NFL game

62
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 2: and was shot two months ago. So that's trauma.

63
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: So that's trauma, serious trauma.

64
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,119
Speaker 3: Serious trauma.

65
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 2: However, However, it does not explain away who I think

66
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: is an elite NFL quarterback making rookie decisions in the

67
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: most key moments. It does not explain a head coach

68
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: not trying to get creative seemingly at all, even though

69
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 2: he knew his offense needed it. And then, for me,

70
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 2: I don't know where else to look other than coaching.

71
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 2: When an entire team is undisciplined in ways you could

72
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 2: see and in ways that you can't. Tom Brady, who

73
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 2: won't rip anyone, he's literally not allowed to.

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: He's a nice called He called them undisciplined at least

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 5: three times on the broadcast.

76
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: The pass rushers are flying around and not holding any lanes.

77
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 2: You're fumbling the football, you're throwing picks, your Hall of

78
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 2: Fame left tackles, getting thrown out of the game for

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: punching people.

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: To be fair, that's at the end.

81
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: It's at the game is decided. Sure, and yes he

82
00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: got punched first. And I always it bothers me when

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: it's like, well, the only reason the other punch looks

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 2: worse is because he's bigger. He's just bigger. That's all

85
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: that happened there.

86
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 4: But anyway, what you can't do is you can't step

87
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: to Trent Williams like that. He's he's one of those

88
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 4: no nonsense type of players to where you'll never be

89
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 4: able to get away with that. With that said, and

90
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 4: listening to you ex poetic about your feelings of your team,

91
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: I remember last week now injuries aside, they've been hit

92
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 4: with a bushel of injuries.

93
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Now this is out of control.

94
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: I mean, if this would have happened, let's say a

95
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 4: week ago, then they may have been active in the

96
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 4: wide receiver market. That just uh, that just really happened

97
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 4: this past week, right, It would especially if you if

98
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 4: Brandon Nayuk is out for the year with an ACL

99
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: you would have definitely been like, hmm, what's a Mari

100
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Cooper doing over there?

101
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:31,839
Speaker 1: Not quite sure you could.

102
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 4: Afford Davante Adams he wanted to go to New York anyway,

103
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 4: but that a Mari Cooper situation would have looked a

104
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 4: lot more interesting now given what your cupboards look like

105
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: in that wide receiver room. It went from then to

106
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: non existent all of a sudden. Shout out to Deebo

107
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: tried to push through the sickness whatever it was that

108
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 4: he had, couldn't do it. But like I said to

109
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 4: you last week, I said, the forty nine ers are

110
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: suffering from here we go again, we gotta do this

111
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: again situation. And what I mean by that is if

112
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 4: you look at them in the last five years, mainly

113
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: the last two years, they've been dominant in the regular season,

114
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 4: dominant and with no payoff outside of NFC championship games,

115
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: not winning the Super Bowl. So there's a notion of

116
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 4: we're in Week six. These games, man, these games, Oh,

117
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: they're monotonous, the mundane. We can go out and win

118
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: with not our best effort, now, which it in some cases, yes,

119
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 4: but when you're going against the defending Super Bowl champions

120
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: who are just hard to watch offensively, let's just throw

121
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: it out there. Sure, neither one of these quarterbacks looked

122
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 4: like they should be in the top tier of quarterbacks

123
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:12,679
Speaker 4: in the league.

124
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: Not even close, right if you have to watch the

125
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: game to sort of get some context. But statistically, I

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: think Patrick mahomes quarterback rating today was forty four. Yeah,

127
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: it with two picks, no touchdowns, and ran for one

128
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty four yards.

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, but guess what they win?

130
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: M h and his season has been the same, it's

131
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 4: been bad. If you have him as your quarterback and

132
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: fantasy football, then you're losing, especially in quarterback heavy leagues

133
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: like I I'm one of my leagues is quarterback heavy.

134
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 4: They get so many points, Like it's crazy, You're you're

135
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 4: you're in in a hole. You're you're not going to

136
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 4: win that league, be because he's going to do just

137
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 4: enough to win. Doesn't care if he throws the ball

138
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: down the field, doesn't care if he has three hundred

139
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 4: yard games, doesn't care if he throws four touchdown. What

140
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 4: he cares about is winning. And the combination of Andy

141
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:24,119
Speaker 4: Reid and him together, they know how to manage each other,

142
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 4: each other and the game. And their defense is lights out.

143
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 4: It started last year for the last couple of years,

144
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 4: but this year their defense is tops. Is one of

145
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: the tops in the league for a reason. Right, You

146
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 4: turned the forty nine ers over three times, and it's

147
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 4: a situation where now they're leaning so heavily on their

148
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 4: defense because they know eventually the offense thing, it'll figure

149
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: itself out.

150
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 1: It's just weird, man, because you would think.

151
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 4: They're better, but it's not. They're not forcing anything. They

152
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 4: don't even know. When you watch Patrick Mahomes in that office,

153
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 4: they're not even like it's not there.

154
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: Okay, well, we're right.

155
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 4: It's it never seems as bad as it looks to them,

156
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 4: and that's a credit to them. Now, on the flip

157
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: side of that, your team, the forty nine ers, it's

158
00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 4: like half of the time it's like they don't even

159
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 4: want to be here. The other half it's like, oh

160
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: my god, another injury. Right, it's the woe is me

161
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 4: hangover from the Super Bowl. They're just trying to get by.

162
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 4: It's like you're doing something and have you ever seen

163
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 4: office space?

164
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,400
Speaker 1: Of course, right, you're.

165
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 4: Not turning in your TPS reports the way they should be, right,

166
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,359
Speaker 4: and you got the you got Lombard coming by the desk.

167
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: Like, hey, so Brock hmmm so on third down?

168
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 4: Wow, we're supposed right, Like it's one of those situations

169
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 4: and then you're and you're like, okay, okay, okay, but

170
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 4: the reality of the situation is there. They'll be fine.

171
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 4: They'll be fine. I know it doesn't feel and seem

172
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 4: and look like it. But they're talented enough. Now they

173
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 4: have to do something about that receiver room. Having the

174
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 4: rookie back from being shot and on the field for

175
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 4: the first time this year, we'll see what that turns into,

176
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 4: figure out what's going on with Brandon Nyuk. Jennings will

177
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 4: be coming back, so it'll all kind of, you know,

178
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,479
Speaker 4: work itself out. They still have a beyond just talent everywhere.

179
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 4: They just got to click in right second half the

180
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 4: year when they know these games really count. You don't

181
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 4: want to dig a hole too big and It is

182
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 4: one of those situations where I think you'll be fine.

183
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: I know you don't want to hear that.

184
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 2: No, actually you want to No, I agree with you.

185
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm not one of the overly emotional fans. I thought

186
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: the performance today was gross. But when you and I

187
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 2: get back together at this exact time next week, they

188
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 2: will still be three and four, and they will be

189
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 2: about to kick off against what I think is not

190
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 2: a very good Dallas Cowboys football.

191
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: Oh no, they gonna beat the crap out of Dallas, right.

192
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 2: And and so you do that. You're four and four,

193
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 2: and then you've got your bye, and you've got the

194
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: second half of the season and a division that is

195
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: beyond winnable. You can forget home field advantage and crap

196
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: like that. But yeah, they would still be the favorite

197
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: to win the division. It's not about season cratering. It's

198
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: about Sunday cratering.

199
00:11:58,120 --> 00:11:58,840
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

200
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 2: I don't understand stand on a build up to that,

201
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 2: how you can perform that.

202
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: Way, How you don't show up.

203
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 2: How are you undisciplined to that level? That's what I

204
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 2: That's what I don't get. You lose to the Chiefs,

205
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 2: you have massive injuries, okay, life, but how are you

206
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: coming a part of the seams almost seemingly at every opportunity,

207
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: How are you not buttoned up?

208
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,479
Speaker 1: Yeah?

209
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: When you need to be buttoned up.

210
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: This was a big game in terms of, you know, confidence,

211
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 4: filling yourself, being prepared, being ready to compete against an

212
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 4: elite team. And they didn't show up. They didn't And

213
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: it's sad, it's disheartening, but the reality of it is,

214
00:12:53,800 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 4: outside of these games, you know, they have the pedigree

215
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 4: for it not to affect them to the degree it

216
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 4: would another team.

217
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: Does that make sense completely? Yeah?

218
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: Completely, all right. I don't think we're by any stretch

219
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 2: done with that. There was something. No, we're not done

220
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 2: with that. However, a lot of other stuff, especially in

221
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,960
Speaker 2: this conference to get to because as they said, there's

222
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 2: a handful of teams where I really want to pull

223
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 2: them over the side of the road and have a

224
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: conversation and be like, what, tell me what you were

225
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: thinking when you did that? And in fact, one of

226
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: those thoughts had already come to mind by about eleven

227
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: am Pacific time today and I texted it to you.

228
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: So we'll get to that coming up next with the

229
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: from Salama, Mark Willard. Big Games about to kick off.

230

236
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 2: dot com studios. What if you replace the word war

237
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: with the word Russ? Russ? Good God? What is he

238
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: good for? You? Tell me what are we doing tonight?

239
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: Why is Russell Wilson starting for the four and two Steelers?

240
00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 2: Can you ander this for me?

241
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? I can.

242
00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: Why starting he's starting for the foreign two stealers because look,

243
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 4: obviously they're happy about what Justin Phils has done.

244
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: Okay, they're four and two, but.

245
00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 4: They're in a situation where you don't want to test

246
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 4: the waters later, so you want to do this sooner.

247
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 4: Russell was projected to be the starter before the CAF situation. Sure,

248
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 4: you don't want to go further down this rabbit hole

249
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: without knowing what Russell can bring to the table. Case

250
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 4: in point, their entire playbook is not open to Justin Fields.

251
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 4: People keep saying, well, why don't they throw the ball

252
00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 4: down the field more. Why don't they do this more?

253
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 4: They're not allowing him to do those things because they

254
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: don't feel like he's ready for those things. Now, with

255
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson, you can open up the playbook, so they

256
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: want to know sooner than later if that is an option,

257
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,680
Speaker 4: can their offense produce more points with Russell Wilson, who

258
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: has a full command of the entire playbook outside of

259
00:15:55,840 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 4: justin fields, really creating things and stending place.

260
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: Okay, that makes sense.

261
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 2: Here's my question, and you'll be uniquely able to answer

262
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 2: this because you know that in a football locker room

263
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 2: or a fraternity or anything like that, a group of friends,

264
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 2: it's a brotherhood, yes, and support each other. And so

265
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: when you're sitting at four and two, I would imagine

266
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 2: that teammates instead of looking at it like you just

267
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 2: did the true x's and o's of all of this,

268
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: they're going to think about it like, wait a minute,

269
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 2: you're putting up brick wall in the middle of our

270
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 2: flow that we've built. And I put that next to

271
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 2: the report and it's only a report, but the report

272
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: that Mike Tomlin essentially made a rogue decision here and

273
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: just went on on his own despite the thoughts of

274
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: any assistant coaches, and said, we're going with Russ Wilson.

275
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 3: How do you think that this played in the locker room?

276
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: Look, I.

277
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,399
Speaker 4: Think first of all, the receivers and the offense know

278
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 4: that they've been limited.

279
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: They know they've been limited.

280
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,160
Speaker 4: They know there's a bunch of plays that they are

281
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 4: not running based on who's at quarterback. Those guys are fine.

282
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: This is more of an opportunity for them. Remember they've

283
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 4: been with Russ the whole camp and all of that.

284
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 4: There's rapport there with the receivers and so on and

285
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 4: so forth, and he was projected.

286
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: To be the starter. Just let's not forget that.

287
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 4: So I don't think it's a situation where guys are like,

288
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: oh man, they tripping man. You know, they want to

289
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 4: see as well. They want the defense want them to

290
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:49,120
Speaker 4: be able to put up points.

291
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: Right. We need more than nine, we need more than

292
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: thirteen points. Right.

293
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 4: So there's a sense of everybody in that locker room,

294
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 4: on that sideline and that on that team, they also

295
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 4: want to know what they have. You do want to

296
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 4: know that. Remember in Alabama when uh Jalen Hurts was

297
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, he had done all these wonderful things got

298
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 4: him too the National Championship game and they had too

299
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 4: of their and they were just like, ugh, yeah.

300
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: Man, ooh a too, you're in right like dad?

301
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 4: And then they won and then so this is that

302
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 4: moment where they they everybody in the stadium wants to

303
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 4: see what this offense looks like with Russell Wilson running it.

304
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: And I get that. I understand that.

305
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 2: So you support this.

306
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: I do support it, all right, I do support it.

307
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I got you're making sense. I've only got one

308
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: other question and maybe you're going to answer it doesn't matter.

309
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: But what does this do to justin?

310
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:03,720
Speaker 1: Oh? Nothing?

311
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: Why because he's used to it? WHOA, Okay, that's doesn't

312
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: do anything. I mean, that's that's a tough one. Doesn't

313
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 5: do anything, doesn't do anything. It really doesn't.

314
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 4: He knows right, like he's he's waiting, he's looking, he's watching, right,

315
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,400
Speaker 4: he knows what he's done. He knows after six games,

316
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 4: they're five and they're four and two. This is not

317
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 4: a hymn thing. It had nothing to do with him.

318
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 4: So when that's the case, you can sit back and say, Okay,

319
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 4: let's see what happens, right, let's see what happens.

320
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: And now he's waiting to see. Yeah.

321
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,120
Speaker 4: If it doesn't go well, he's like, all right, I'm

322
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 4: going back. If it does go extremely well, then it's

323
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: like I have more work to do. Look, man, it's

324
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 4: a business. He knows it's a business. Coming from Chicago

325
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 4: and what he went through there, he knows this is

326
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: a business.

327
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: He knows.

328
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 4: He has more of a long, long jevity, more long

329
00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: jevity than Russell Wilson.

330
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: They're four and two.

331
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: There's a great opportunity if Russ If they go out

332
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 4: here and score forty points, everybody'd be like, oh, okay, well.

333
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, sure, sure, right of course.

334
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 4: Now they go out here and score twelve thirteen points.

335
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 4: They just got three on the board.

336
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: Got three.

337
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: People will be like, okay, so now you can have

338
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: an informed decision moving forward, right, you, We don't lose

339
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 4: that much, right, I'd rather have the excitement of Justin

340
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 4: Field's extending plays and getting out of trouble than Russell

341
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 4: with twelve points. Twelve points, thirteen points to thirteen points, right,

342
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 4: Neither one of them really turn the ball over. So

343
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 4: now you can make an informed decision. But you can't

344
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,320
Speaker 4: until you see both products on the field.

345
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: Okay, So I love that you used the phrase it's

346
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 2: a business because it's the exact same phrase reportedly that

347
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 2: Davante Adams texted to his former Raiders teammates, trying to

348
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: explain to them, I'm not tired of playing with you.

349
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 2: This isn't about you. This is just about business. I

350
00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 2: do want to know if you buy that. As we

351
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 2: go to commercial break, not us, I'm talking about the

352
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 2: TV broadcast, and we now await the first look at

353
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 2: Davonte Adams with the Jets. So you and I both

354
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 2: said last week he should be a bill, and now

355
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 2: I understand the finances of it. He probably would have

356
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 2: been if Buffalo could have done what the Jets did,

357
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 2: which was pick up the salary, because as soon as

358
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 2: DeVante went to the Jets, it was countdown three, two

359
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 2: and one, and Amari Cooper was a bill, which tells

360
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: me that they were in on DeVante and waiting to

361
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: see exactly what was going to happen before they then

362
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 2: went to Plan B, which is Amari Cooper, which paid

363
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:04,879
Speaker 2: some dividends today.

364
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: So it did.

365
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So as the Jets get ready for their first

366
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,320
Speaker 2: DeVante drive, well we'll we'll look to that. And then

367
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: it's also a great phrase for what we always do

368
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 2: at this time. This this is a business and that's

369
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,119
Speaker 2: why we bring in a busy.

370
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 1: He's been the disacre.

371
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 2: There we go.

372
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 3: He's not a business man.

373
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: He's a business business man.

374
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 4: It is.

375
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 7: Let's just say there have been a lot of wide

376
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 7: receivers over the years who've been all about the bills,

377
00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 7: if you know what I mean. We do have a

378
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 7: Steelers field goal on the first drive of the night.

379
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 7: They're up three nothing on the Jets. The ensuing kickoff

380
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,400
Speaker 7: about to come. A lot happening already on FS one

381
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,920
Speaker 7: in Game six of the National League Championship Series, Dodgers

382
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 7: have just taken a two to one lead on the

383
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 7: Mets in the bottom of the first Dodgers lead the

384
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 7: series three games to two. If there's a Game seven,

385
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,840
Speaker 7: it would be Monday night in La on Fox TV.

386
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 7: A wild top of the first inning, and I mean

387
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 7: that literally because the bullpen game was started by one

388
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 7: hundred mile an hour thrower Michael Kopek evla od place.

389
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 7: Absolutely he was. It was like he was Doorda's new

390
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 7: Colelution impersonation from the movies. So what if there had

391
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 7: been a bull mask got anywhere near there, he would

392
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 7: have hit it. He had one wild pitch that went

393
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 7: to the screen on the fly Kopek in the first inning,

394
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,440
Speaker 7: twenty five pitches and more than half of them were balls.

395
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:30,159
Speaker 7: It's amazing it was only a one nothing deficit. The

396
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 7: one run for the Mets scored on an infield single

397
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 7: from slugger Pete Alonzo, a looper over the mound forty

398
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 7: miles an hour off the bat, which is actually the

399
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 7: second lowest exit velocity off the bat that statcast is

400
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 7: ever recorded on a hit for Pete Alonzo in his career.

401
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 7: Dodgers survive and now have taken the lead on Tommy

402
00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 7: Edmonds two run double in the bottom of the first

403
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 7: against Mets starter Sean Manya. LA two to one over

404
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 7: the Mets in the bottom of the first, and for

405
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,720
Speaker 7: Dodger fans, they saw an actual hit in first inning

406
00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 7: from Teoscar Hernandez. He had been zero for eighteen in

407
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 7: the series, nine strikeouts. He hit one off the wall

408
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 7: in center. Of course, thinking it was gone, he didn't

409
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:12,360
Speaker 7: run hard. It was a single off the center field wall.

410
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 7: He did just score though for the LA lead Now

411
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 7: for the rest of the details on the day. In

412
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 7: the NFL, Kansas City is the lone undefeated team remaining

413
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,960

Speaker 7: three interceptions. In fact, Associated Press in the Bay Area

419
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 7: points out party stats including playoffs. If you go back

420
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 7: to the Christmas Night game against the Ravens, twelve starts,

421
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,399

00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 7: Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels left in the first half with

427
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 7: a rib injury. Detroit won at Minnesota thirty one to

428
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 7: twenty nine on a late forty four yard field goal.

429
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 7: Minnesota had scored twelve straight points in the fourth, took

430
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 7: the lead on a fumble return for a TD, but

431
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 7: an l four. The Vikings green Baby Houston twenty four

432
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 7: to twenty two on a forty five yard field goal

433
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 7: on the final play. Wins for Buffalo and Seattle. Wins

434
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 7: for Indy and Philly. More on that in the moment.

435
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 7: Cincinnati won at Cleveland twenty one fourteen. The Browns have

436
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 7: lost five in a row and Cleveland quarterback Deshaun Waftson

437
00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 7: suffered an achilles injury. He is likely out for the year.

438
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 7: The day started with a game in London. Jacksonville came

439
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 7: back to beat New England thirty two sixteen. Patriots have

440
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,879

441
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 7: number one in the new College Football polls, Georgia up

442
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 7: to number two. But I mentioned this Philadelphia win. It

443
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 7: was twenty eight three at the Giant Sakuon Barkley for

444
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,440
Speaker 7: the Eagles. Now on seventeen carries at one hundred and

445
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 7: seventy six yards in a touchdown. Giants quarterback Daniel Jones

446
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 7: was pulled at one point. He was not happy about it.

447
00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 7: His coach says he's still the starter, but these are

448
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,520
Speaker 7: the facts. Daniel Jones still has no touchdown passes at

449
00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 7: home this season, and he had none last season in

450
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,640
Speaker 7: the two home games he was able to play. So actually,

451
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 7: twenty players in the NFL have thrown a touchdown pass

452
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,960
Speaker 7: at MetLife Stadium more recently than Daniel Jones has for

453
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:38,400
Speaker 7: the Giants. There, Jones, my god, sm seasons.

454
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 2: Is quite a fact. Holy crap, twenty.

455
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,160
Speaker 7: Twenty twenty guys, Oh my god. For the Giants last

456
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 7: two years at home, Daniel Jones is zero to six,

457
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 7: nine turnovers, no touchdown passes or runs, and the Giants

458
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 7: in those six games have scored about six points per

459
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,880
Speaker 7: game with one offensive touchdowns compared to three pick sixes

460
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 7: by Jones in the previous five home games.

461
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: Not good back to you.

462
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: Oh so he has thrown a touchdown pass, it's just

463
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 2: not to his team. Okay, he's throwing three of them,

464
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: all right. That clears that up. Good good thing. No,

465
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: thank you, Steve, appreciate it. As always. We'll talk to

466
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 2: us Steve at the bottom of every hour, and it's

467
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 2: always fun. We're in the tyreck dot Com studios and people.

468
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: Let me tell you about my best friend. I worried

469
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,119
Speaker 2: about this look. We've only seen three plays from the Jets,

470
00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: but one pass play was targeted for DeVante Adams, and

471
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: then the other one it was not caught. And then

472
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 2: the other one, Aaron was winding up to throw it

473
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 2: deep to Devontae Adams and then he got sacked. But like,

474
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: if I'm Garrett Wilson, I'm sort of and I bet

475
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:51,640
Speaker 2: you can all relate to this on the school yard

476
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: when you were kid. Yeah, you go out there and

477
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 2: like you're a receiver, but like the quarterback and the

478
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,120
Speaker 2: other receiver our best friend.

479
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: Best friends, and you're like, are you do you know

480
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: that I'm here?

481
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 2: Brack?

482
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 4: Are we just?

483
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: Am? I just running? Am I just sweating today? And

484
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 2: I wonder if this is gonna look like that because

485
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 2: Aaron at least one series end. Yeah, he looks a

486
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: little happy to have his buddy back.

487
00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 4: Well, we at the beginning of the game, we heard

488
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 4: like after Aaron had messages on his phone after that

489
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 4: loss last week, a misscall and messages from DeVante Adams

490
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 4: like I'm on my way to the airport, I'm coming.

491
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 4: And so Tuesday morning he's in the facility with Aaron.

492
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 4: They probably you.

493
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: Know, just hugged up and just in the film room,

494
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: all the whole nine yards.

495
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:55,040
Speaker 4: Now, this thing could turn into a disaster if it's

496
00:28:55,160 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 4: not properly managed and dealt with. At no point should

497
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 4: he be trying to force feed Davonte Adam right what

498
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: he should now do because he has two one receivers

499
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: on a team whoever is not doubled.

500
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: The ball goes.

501
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: There, and then you can sprinkle in a little Lazard

502
00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: every now and then, But that is that should be

503
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 4: the formula.

504
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 2: I mean, take me through this because it's probably the

505
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: most fascinating story in the NFL. Right now. You've got

506
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 2: a proven sort of commodity at the two three with

507
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 2: a relationship with Aaron Rodgers and Alan Lazard. Okay, put

508
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: that over here. You've got the former number seven overall

509
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 2: pick in the draft who's trying to rehab his way back,

510
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 2: and that's Mike Williams, and he gets thrown under the

511
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,840
Speaker 2: bus at the press conference after last week's game.

512
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: And then you've got Garrett Wilson, who.

513
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,560
Speaker 2: Is a proven as you said, a proven one though

514
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: still young, and questions about the chemistry that he's built

515
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 2: with Aaron.

516
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 8: And then you bring this and PLoP it right in

517
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:12,120
Speaker 8: the middle of the room, right in the middle of

518
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 8: the room, almost like the dinosaur that was at that

519
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 8: birthday party on Netflix for DeVante last year.

520
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: Just sit you down. So hey, hey, former number one,

521
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:29,640
Speaker 2: you're not my number one. Hey, former number two, you

522
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: moved to number three. Hey, number three, Who thinks you're

523
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: gonna be number two later in the year. You're not

524
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 2: even in our plans anymore. We don't like you.

525
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 3: I mean, my god, how do you handle that room?

526
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,959
Speaker 4: I mean, Aaron Rodgers is Aaron Rodgers. He's gonna lean

527
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 4: into what he what he knows, and what he likes.

528
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,240
Speaker 4: And that's gonna be it. You know, it's not gonna

529
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 4: drop past.

530
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tell you what, man, And how much are

531
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 2: you see Russell?

532
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: How much our receivers making?

533
00:31:07,320 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 2: Oh good lo, Well we'll get there.

534
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: Asked me about when that bubble is gonna burst?

535
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, it should have burst already, what cats the ball?

536
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: It should have burst. And I mean you're as we speak,

537
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: it should and it should.

538
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 4: And something you said about Mike Williams. Guess who should

539
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 4: be on the phone with them with with the Jets

540
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,520
Speaker 4: right now?

541
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,480
Speaker 3: The Steelers of course, No, no, yes, okay, okay.

542
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 4: That's that's who should be on the phone right Oh,

543
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 4: he dropped the ball. Yeah, but that's who should be

544
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 4: on the phone with with the Jets right now.

545
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 2: For Mike Woods, the Steelers may regret the fact that

546
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 2: they couldn't because they're very much rumored to be in

547
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 2: on that and they've been on every receiver and and

548
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 2: they may drop the ball really regret. They may really

549
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,960
Speaker 2: regret that they didn't get it done this week because

550
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 2: will change.

551
00:32:10,960 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: Now it's changed. And if you're Mike Williams, where you

552
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: want to go?

553
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 2: Oh, I would much rather go to San Francisco than

554
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:20,840
Speaker 2: Pittsburgh for sure.

555
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 4: So I think, you know, Pittsburgh may be on the

556
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: losing end of that deal, especially, like you said, they

557
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 4: should have done it already. He should be he should

558
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 4: be already there. He should be on the sideline, just

559
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 4: wild man, I mean least a week, well not only

560
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,080
Speaker 4: week to week.

561
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 2: But it's like you said, and and this is one

562
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: of the other, uh, the other teams that I really

563
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,440
Speaker 2: want to shake and go what are you doing? In fact,

564
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 2: I'll hold it. I'll hold it because it has to

565
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 2: do with that that wide receiver thing. There is a

566
00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: player specifically, there's more than one, but there's really one.

567
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 2: There's a player who looks like he might actually pull

568
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 2: a desk, a chair, books, and glasses out onto the

569
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 2: field so he could just sit down and get some

570
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,840
Speaker 2: work done while his team is playing football.

571
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 3: Because he is useless, beyond useless.

572
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: For thirty million dollars a year, I'll tell you exactly

573
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,040
Speaker 2: who we're talking about in just a moment. That's e

Speaker 2: No, you can go as far as you want. I'd

581
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: rather see you try the dance than sing it.

582
00:33:55,600 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: But to night something Neaples marking the time, Oh my

583
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: god classic.

584
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. Of all the teams out there,

585
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:21,719
Speaker 2: there is one that is having even more of a

586
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 2: nightmare than any of the others. And similar to the

587
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: zombies walking through this iconic music video, I want you

588
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 2: to picture those thriller zombies right now and now picture

589
00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:43,359
Speaker 2: them wearing Dolphins jerseys with the number seventeen and ten.

590
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill since to a left. In the four games

591
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 2: that they have not had to, Tyreek Hill, for thirty

592
00:34:55,360 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 2: million dollars, has touched the ball fourteen time in four games.

593
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 2: Today he was targeted wait for it, twice.

594
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:09,879
Speaker 1: Oh god, this is bad.

595
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: He caught one ball for eight yards. I don't know

596
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 2: where to are ranks in NFL quarterbacking. All I know

597
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 2: is that he should take his fifty two million dollar

598
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,080
Speaker 2: contract and go to the general manager of the Dolphins,

599
00:35:31,040 --> 00:35:33,360
Speaker 2: slide it across the table and say, just want you

600
00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 2: to know I'm very underpaid.

601
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: Ted right now, I'm underpaid this.

602
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 2: I have never seen a team go from a playoff

603
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:52,719
Speaker 2: contender to literally be on the ability to function. It's

604
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 2: not we're not playing well. You can't function. They can't.

605
00:35:58,960 --> 00:36:06,719
Speaker 2: They can't play football. No, it's wild. Go ahead, Oh

606
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:13,800
Speaker 2: Tyreek thirty million in Jalen twenty eight. What do you do?

607
00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:20,600
Speaker 1: There's nothing you can do. If they.

608
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:32,560
Speaker 4: Like, why isn't Jameis Winston there? He's the third quarterback

609
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:33,280
Speaker 4: in Cleveland.

610
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:37,240
Speaker 1: Seriously, like, what are you doing?

611
00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:43,359
Speaker 4: You have to have someone who can at least pass

612
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 4: the ball. We know Jameis Winston can pass the ball.

613
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 4: Now he will put that thing in harm's way, but

614
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:53,920
Speaker 4: he will get it down the field. I could promise

615
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:59,080
Speaker 4: you that, Yep, he is going to sling that thing.

616
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 4: And when you're at this point, that's all you need.

617
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:07,399
Speaker 4: You want someone to come in and just let it rip.

618
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 4: They have guys who can't even really throw the ball

619
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 4: down the field, and.

620
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,400
Speaker 2: I have to at a certain point, I have to

621
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 2: question what Mike McDaniel is doing approach wise here, because

622
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:25,759
Speaker 2: even if you don't have a quarterback who can get

623
00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 2: the ball downfield, why would there not be more plays called,

624
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: even if they're behind the line of scrimmage, to just

625
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 2: get the ball in his hands.

626
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 4: I'm gonna tell you something that's a lot of people

627
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 4: don't realize this. So when you're dealing with backup quarterbacks,

628
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:48,880
Speaker 4: second third, backup quarterbacks Tyler Huntley, Tim Boyle, and you

629
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 4: look at the receivers who are targeted the most, right,

630
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 4: John new Smith really is the only one that was

631
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:02,320
Speaker 4: targeted seven times, But then you got alec Ingold and

632
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 4: you know Malik Washington.

633
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 2: Malik Washington got three.

634
00:38:06,320 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, So this is what happens. Those quarterbacks are used

635
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 4: to throwing to those guys. Those quarterbacks don't necessarily get

636
00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 4: to throw to Waddle to reek with any regularity.

637
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 1: Because they're normally doing scout team.

638
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 2: It's a good point.

639
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 4: So you build up that comfortability with those guys. So

640
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:49,799
Speaker 4: normally when a new quarterback comes in, the second string

641
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 4: quarterback comes in, there's an uptick in the third fourth

642
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 4: receiver getting balls.

643
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,719
Speaker 1: Because you feel comfortable with him.

644
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 4: You spend all practice practicing with those guys, albeit off cards,

645
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:11,880
Speaker 4: but you know their mannerisms. Even in one of ones,

646
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 4: you're not to throw you the backup quarterback. You're not

647
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 4: throwing at treek Hill. You're not throwing at him at all.

648
00:39:20,480 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 4: And so you find yourself in a situation where it's like,

649
00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 4: I'm comfortable with who I'm comfortable with?

650
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: Ye, where's the bubble screen?

651
00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:32,520
Speaker 2: Where's that mahomes little like shotgun, just shovel forward thing

652
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 2: on a on a on a sweep like any of it?

653
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,759
Speaker 1: Where's that hand the ball off to him?

654
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 2: Just give him the ball that I don't get that now,

655
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 2: I don't get two targets. And that's what Jalon Wattle

656
00:39:48,440 --> 00:39:52,120
Speaker 2: had too. Four targets yep. Between Jalon Waddle and Tyreek

657
00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: Hill fifty eight million dollars a year.

658
00:39:54,800 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 1: Boy, you want to talk about that bubble, big time,

659
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 1: big time.

660
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 2: All right. I started the whole day off by texting

Speaker 5: Like?

672
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:45,759
Speaker 2: That's they're just a handful of teams. You want to

673
00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 2: pull them over on the highway and go, what what

674
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: exactly are you doing right now? I want to refer

675
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:57,919
Speaker 2: back to a conversation you and I had way back

676
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:05,279
Speaker 2: in free agency, and by extension, even last year, and

677
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:10,399
Speaker 2: you really had feathers ruffled because you did not understand,

678
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 2: for the life of you the way the New York

679
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:20,879
Speaker 2: Giants were handling Saquon Barkley. And I got to think

680
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 2: today was better than you know what for Saquon to

681
00:41:26,239 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 2: do what he did in an Eagle's uniform against the

682
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 2: Giants in their stadium, and it makes me want to

683
00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 2: go back and watch Hard Knocks again on HBO. And

684
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 2: when Saquon and the front officer on the phone with

685
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 2: one another, and you can tell that the Giants are

686
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:57,680
Speaker 2: just like, we're not We're not spending any money on you.

687
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,400
Speaker 2: We just don't feel like that's it's a good place

688
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 2: to spend our money. Meantime, Daniel Jones makes forty million

689
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: a year. What on earth did they do?

690
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: This is when you get caught up in the moment

691
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:24,880
Speaker 1: of you think you have to do something.

692
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 4: And when I say have to do something, everybody was like,

693
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: we gotta get a quarterback.

694
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:31,920
Speaker 1: We have a quarterback.

695
00:42:32,320 --> 00:42:32,800
Speaker 2: We can't.

696
00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 4: We gotta sign this quarterback like it's quarterback quarterback. We

697
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,480
Speaker 4: got it, We have to you know, playoffs, all of that.

698
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 4: So you get blinded by that, and the Giants were

699
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:49,319
Speaker 4: blinded by that. The leader of that team, the leader

700
00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 4: of the offense, the one everyone counted and depended on,

701
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 4: was say Kwon Barkley. I knew it, You knew it.

702
00:42:57,200 --> 00:43:00,239
Speaker 4: Everyone in the locker room knew it. Daniel Jones it.

703
00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:02,640
Speaker 1: But when you.

704
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:07,320
Speaker 4: Get caught up in being a creature of the moment

705
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:15,279
Speaker 4: and not really assessing, not really assessing what's going on,

706
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 4: and you're not tapped into your locker room, you find

707
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:28,040
Speaker 4: yourself in this situation. And this situation is they went

708
00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:30,440
Speaker 4: and gave a guy forty five million dollars a year,

709
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 4: made the odds on leader of their team, play for

710
00:43:35,440 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 4: in football terms, peanuts and let him go to your rival.

711
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:48,120
Speaker 4: And he's done nothing but prosper there and you've done

712
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 4: nothing but falter to the point where you benched the

713
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,000
Speaker 4: guy you picked over him. Now, this is how you

714
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 4: lose your job as a GM and this is how

715
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:02,880
Speaker 4: you lose your job as a coach help because you

716
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 4: didn't stand up and be like, no, Now, I'd rather

717
00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 4: roll the dice with in the draft and drafting a quarterback.

718
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,359
Speaker 4: I'm going back last year, prior to the deal, prior

719
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 4: to they gave, prior to them giving Daniel Jones the

720
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:30,560
Speaker 4: money I'd rather. I'd rather have Daniel Jones play under

721
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:35,320
Speaker 4: the franchise tag for a year and sign Saquon Barkley

722
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 4: to a long term deal, and then after the year

723
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,200
Speaker 4: we can get from under that, and we'll address the

724
00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 4: quarterback in the draft, but at least our new young

725
00:44:45,320 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 4: quarterback will have Saquon Barkley to hand the ball off too.

726
00:44:52,360 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 4: But you chose to do the complete opposite of that.

727
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,759
Speaker 4: And now you're in a situation where the whole world

728
00:44:59,880 --> 00:45:05,600
Speaker 4: is looking at you, like you idiots, you're looking at you.

729
00:45:06,280 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 4: You refuse to look at yourself in the mirror. Like

730
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,640
Speaker 4: every time you walk by a mirror, the decision maker

731
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 4: makers in this, every time you walk by the mirror,

732
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:15,759
Speaker 4: you close.

733
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: Your eyes until you get to the other side of it.

734
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:24,719
Speaker 4: Because what you've essentially done is you've attached your livelihood

735
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 4: to a quarterback who has never shown that he could

736
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 4: be close to being worth forty five million dollars a

737
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 4: year or could single handedly lead a team to the playoffs.

738
00:45:40,120 --> 00:45:44,080
Speaker 4: Are deep into the playoffs. Nothing about Daniel Jones, And

739
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to be disparaging to him as a person.

740
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:49,320
Speaker 4: It's just him as a player.

741
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: Right.

742
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 4: I'm sure Daniel Jones is a lovely human being, But

743
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:59,720
Speaker 4: being a lovely human being doesn't win games. Not throwing

744
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: the ball to the other team, right, Not throwing for

745
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:15,640
Speaker 4: four yards of completion that wins. What you're doing is

746
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: that's not it man? And and they're they're really in

747
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:32,200
Speaker 4: a situation where they're stuck. They're stuck and they can't

748
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:38,000
Speaker 4: get out of it. And Sa Kuan couldn't not I'm

749
00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:39,080
Speaker 4: sure he couldn't wait.

750
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:39,560
Speaker 1: For this game.

751
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:45,720
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, seventeen carries a one hundred and seventy six.

752
00:46:45,719 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: Yards I'm going to eat today.

753
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:50,279
Speaker 3: That's embarrassing.

754
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 9: I'm going today that like if on the meter of

755
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:00,200
Speaker 9: who had to feel embarrassed in front of their home

756
00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:00,879
Speaker 9: crowd today.

757
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,600
Speaker 2: We started the show by talking about the forty nine ers.

758
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 2: I bet that they feel pretty embarrassed, but they're also

759
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:12,360
Speaker 2: there's some complexities going on there with the injuries and

760
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,000
Speaker 2: obviously your opponent being Kansas City. But what happened to

761
00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 2: the New York giants today, that's embarrassing.

762
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: That was embarrassing on every level.

763
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 3: That is really embarrassing.

764
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 2: Your shortcomings will often come out and show themselves, but

765
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,759
Speaker 2: not always do your shortcomings come out show themselves, and

766
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: then you are escorted right to a table where your

767
00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 2: face is smashed into them and rubbed around. That's essentially

768
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:47,600
Speaker 2: what happened today to the New York guys like I

769
00:47:47,800 --> 00:47:57,359
Speaker 2: have no idea how anybody with that organization can like, yeah,

770
00:47:57,440 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, how do you go forward with what

771
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: they've done completely no playoffs. Yeah, they're the playoffs two

772
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:08,319
Speaker 2: years ago and they have cratered everything they have since then.

773
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: That's it.

774
00:48:12,600 --> 00:48:14,240
Speaker 3: And they've got a cool young receiver.

775
00:48:14,680 --> 00:48:16,719
Speaker 1: I know. MO League neighbors is like, what have I done?

776
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,960
Speaker 2: What did I do exactly?

777
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:23,759
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, yeah, yeah, this is your guy. This is

778
00:48:23,760 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 1: the guy gonna be throwing you the ball man for

779
00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: the next two years.

780
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that. Well, we'll see about

781
00:48:30,640 --> 00:48:34,000
Speaker 2: that because, like, as bad as it is, it's not

782
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:36,960
Speaker 2: it's not the Deshaun Watson.

783
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,080
Speaker 1: Situation, right, So it's this year, it's next year. Right.

784
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 2: Let me pull up Daniel's situation. There is the potential

785
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: out in the contract is after this season, after this one, yes,

786
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 2: because he's already two years in and the potential out

787
00:48:54,680 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty five.

788
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: Yes, this is his second year under that deal.

789
00:48:58,239 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 2: Yep, you're right, Yep, it does, and therefore it makes

790
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:04,280
Speaker 2: it a two year, eighty two million dollar deal instead

791
00:49:04,320 --> 00:49:07,760
Speaker 2: of a four year. The dead cap is twenty two million.

792
00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,719
Speaker 2: That's not small, but you do that bad, but you

793
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:15,920
Speaker 2: do it, You definitely do it rather than paying I.

794
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 1: Mean, what was Russell's at Denver?

795
00:49:18,719 --> 00:49:21,800
Speaker 2: What was that? Oh? God was it?

796
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah? It was definitely worse forty something or something like that.

797
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, the Russell Wilson.

798
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 4: I mean, but they got him out of there. They

799
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:35,759
Speaker 4: were like, we out, they got out of there, We're good.

800
00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 2: I mean that was a five year, two hundred and

801
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,360
Speaker 2: forty two million dollar deal. The guarantee it signing was

802
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty one, so they were like one

803
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:48,600
Speaker 2: and you got kind of like a year and a

804
00:49:48,640 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 2: half out of him.

805
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: Pretty brutal they got about it. They yep, but that's

806
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:55,040
Speaker 1: what you're gonna do.

807
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:55,799
Speaker 2: Now.

808
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 4: You have to make yourself more uncomfortable. Now you have

809
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:02,440
Speaker 4: to make yourself so now you don't have the quarterback

810
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 4: and the running back and you know, Tyrone Tracy.

811
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,040
Speaker 1: Junior, you know, shout out to him.

812
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:09,040
Speaker 2: But that's not it.

813
00:50:09,160 --> 00:50:10,200
Speaker 1: That's not say going Barkley.

814
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 2: No, it is good. But by the way, he's good

815
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 2: enough to where I would commit to him as your

816
00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:15,120
Speaker 2: lead guy.

817
00:50:15,160 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: They won't even do that, right six carries? Come on, now,

818
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:18,440
Speaker 1: what are we doing?

819
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:21,200
Speaker 3: He's better, He's better than Devin singletary.

820
00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 1: What are we doing here?

821
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly. That's why you get fired. That's

822
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 4: why you get fired, Brian day Ball. You did a

823
00:50:30,680 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 4: wonderful job with Josh Allen and Buffalo and and and

824
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:37,719
Speaker 4: you did a yolman's job one year in New York.

825
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: But brother, this is New York. This is New York.

826
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 2: There.

827
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,320
Speaker 1: You not gonna be able to get away with that.

828
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 2: No, no, so of all, we're talking about embarrassing things

829
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:59,319
Speaker 2: in home stadiums. There's only one other stadium I thought

830
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:04,640
Speaker 2: today were something even even more embarrassing happened, and it's

831
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 2: a little bit different. It's not about losing. It's not

832
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,799
Speaker 2: about necessarily a poor performance. We'll explain because I'm really

833
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:16,160
Speaker 2: interested to get your perspective on this particular happening. We'll

834
00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,279
Speaker 2: do that coming up with e from Salama, Mark Weather.

835
00:51:18,360 --> 00:51:23,440
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio. All right, these arethe Tyraq

836
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 2: dot Com studios. We'll keep assessing and uh, oh, well

837
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:31,600
Speaker 2: you're on baseball.

838
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:33,120
Speaker 1: Tell me you ahead.

839
00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,000
Speaker 3: We got we got, we got some some new look

840
00:51:36,040 --> 00:51:37,440
Speaker 3: football teams playing right now.

841
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 1: And nobody looking at the word about that. I got

842
00:51:39,960 --> 00:51:40,520
Speaker 1: both games.

843
00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 2: Nobody's worried about the number one rated television show in

844
00:51:44,360 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 2: the world.

845
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 4: No you're telling me right now? No, No, okay, no,

846
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 4: but look, look I'm in l a man. It's the Dodgers, right,

847
00:51:50,840 --> 00:51:51,800
Speaker 4: this is one game.

848
00:51:51,680 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 2: Away from the World Series, the World Series.

849
00:51:56,239 --> 00:51:58,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, it's gonna be.

850
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,879
Speaker 2: It's gonna be the Dodgers and the Yankees.

851
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,919
Speaker 1: That the Giants didn't live up to their expectations.

852
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:06,400
Speaker 2: It's not, it's not. It's the Dodgers and the Yankees

853
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 2: and the baseball execs are going to get the exact

854
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:11,800
Speaker 2: perfect World Series they want. They're still gonna get housed

855
00:52:11,840 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: by football in the ratings. That's what's crazy, you know.

856
00:52:17,280 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I wonder if gosh, let's so, the World

857
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:28,320
Speaker 2: Series starts on Friday, I think, right, and if if

858
00:52:28,360 --> 00:52:33,400
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about this correctly, schedule wise, it starts next Friday.

859
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: And obviously that's that's built on purpose, so that you

860
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 2: can go Friday Saturday and then then you miss Sunday

861
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 2: no game. But then you go to Monday, Game three

862
00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:56,880
Speaker 2: of the World Series versus next week's Monday night football.

863
00:52:58,160 --> 00:53:02,919
Speaker 3: What do you think is gonna do? What's gonna do better?

864
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:05,360
Speaker 2: Because you know what, you know what the game is

865
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 2: though it's the Steelers hosting the New York Football Giants.

866
00:53:12,840 --> 00:53:14,240
Speaker 1: All you have to do is say Steelers.

867
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,640
Speaker 2: But what will it do better in New York the

868
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:21,680
Speaker 2: Giants or the Yankees or the Yankees nobody. I would hope,

869
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:26,319
Speaker 2: God e wound hope. Yeah, I would hope. I would hope.

870
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,399
Speaker 2: New York's actually a closet basketball town.

871
00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:32,480
Speaker 4: It's not even the closet basket the mecca. That's the

872
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,080
Speaker 4: mecca basketball, man, right, I know.

873
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,560
Speaker 2: But like we think in the garden, baby, but we

874
00:53:36,680 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 2: think about it because of Yankees baseball towns.

875
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:44,560
Speaker 4: But that's what it was back when baseball was, you know,

876
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 4: America's pastime. We know very well that baseball is no

877
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 4: longer America's favorite pastime. So you can say what you

878
00:53:55,480 --> 00:54:00,000
Speaker 4: want to say, you can disagree with it. The number

879
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:01,640
Speaker 4: do not lie, my friend.

880
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: Nope. So you know it, just tell Peaches the pipe down.

881
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,799
Speaker 2: Well, I know exactly what happened. I know what happened there.

882
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:20,160
Speaker 2: Her name's not Peaches, it's Penny. And she's excited because no,

883
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,800
Speaker 2: brace Hall, see now you're seeing it.

884
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 3: Brace Hall just broke one into the open field.

885
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,840
Speaker 2: And I'm pretty sure that someone upstairs has Breece on

886
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:31,799
Speaker 2: their fantasy team.

887
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:33,040
Speaker 1: That's what's going on.

888
00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 2: That's the chain.

889
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: Reaction goes to the open field.

890
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:39,919
Speaker 2: One of my Offsprings starts jumping up and down, dog

891
00:54:40,040 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 2: goes crazy.

892
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:42,359
Speaker 3: That's what That's what you're just heard.

893
00:54:42,680 --> 00:54:44,799
Speaker 1: It all ties into.

894
00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,399
Speaker 2: It, all ties into football. Whatever happens around here, it's

895
00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 2: because of football. My mood, anything, it's all tied to

896
00:54:52,680 --> 00:55:01,120
Speaker 2: football anyway. Anyway, all right, well, why along with a

897
00:55:01,200 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 2: couple of new look teams here. Obviously the Jets have

898
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:09,040
Speaker 2: Davante the Steelers have Russell Wilson at quarterback. So we'll

899
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:12,200
Speaker 2: keep we'll keep you up to date on on that

900
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 2: for sure. But by the same token, I wonder what

901
00:55:17,360 --> 00:55:19,640
Speaker 2: went through your head when you saw Deshaun Watson go

902
00:55:19,800 --> 00:55:23,759
Speaker 2: down today with what it was clearly like you saw

903
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,359
Speaker 2: the highlight very similar to Aaron Rodgers last year, where

904
00:55:27,400 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 2: you could see the rupture underneath his sock, and and

905
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 2: so immediately you're like, oh, he tore his achilles. You

906
00:55:37,480 --> 00:55:37,600
Speaker 2: know what?

907
00:55:37,680 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 1: I thought, what that's probably his last night of football?

908
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 2: Good lord, isn't that crazy?

909
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 4: That's really just the first thing that ran across my mind.

910
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, snap, that might be his last.

911
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: Hmm.

912
00:55:54,520 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 4: The funny thing is now and this is just a thought.

913
00:55:57,800 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 4: That was my initial thought when Aaron Rogers toward his achilles. Yeah,

914
00:56:08,560 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 4: different range for a different reason. Yes, sure, But when

915
00:56:13,239 --> 00:56:16,800
Speaker 4: I saw Deshaun do that, and I was like, okay,

916
00:56:16,920 --> 00:56:19,960
Speaker 4: so now the pressure is off of them. Okay, like this,

917
00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 4: there's no pressure. He can rehab, you can miss all

918
00:56:27,760 --> 00:56:33,879
Speaker 4: next year. It just you know, sometimes the ship has

919
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 4: sailed and you don't even know it. You still think

920
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 4: you own the dock. And it's it's a situation where

921
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 4: he has not been a very good quarterback since he's

922
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 4: been back from suspension. He's never recaptured any resemblance of

923
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 4: who he was prior to the suspensions. And so at

924
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 4: this point, just they're paying you to be here, to

925
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 4: be here.

926
00:57:08,840 --> 00:57:09,480
Speaker 2: And now.

927
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 4: They can start preparing for you not to be here,

928
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,040
Speaker 4: even though it'll be we is that another oh no.

929
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,320
Speaker 2: Oh, once again you're watching a different sports than me.

930
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 2: But sorry, yeah, no, it's okay. The Jets are knocking

931
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:31,480
Speaker 2: on the door and uh, they're going to go in

932
00:57:31,720 --> 00:57:34,520
Speaker 2: for a touchdown to Tyler Conklin. And so the Jets

933
00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,720
Speaker 2: are now up thirteen to six with an extra point pending.

934
00:57:38,040 --> 00:57:40,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this though, because what you're saying

935
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 2: makes sense. However, even if he missed all of next year,

936
00:57:44,840 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 2: which is a stretch, because like, you can come back

937
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 2: from this injury and I don't know about one to

938
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 2: eleven months, maybe they won't, maybe they won't, but you

939
00:57:56,480 --> 00:57:59,760
Speaker 2: still on the hook for another forty six in twenty twenty.

940
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I got We just got through talking about I know.

941
00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just got to eat it.

942
00:58:07,480 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 9: Man.

943
00:58:07,720 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 4: They have obviously missed the mark again and again at

944
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 4: the quarterback position. They have been a pit of despair,

945
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 4: so much so they jumped out on the limb and

946
00:58:20,360 --> 00:58:25,120
Speaker 4: the limb broke. They jumped out on the limb and

947
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 4: the limb broke. They were no longer in the conversation

948
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:40,800
Speaker 4: for Deshaun Watson with Houston. Remember that Thursday he had

949
00:58:40,880 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 4: to eliminate a team. Was it Detroit, Cleveland and who else?

950
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 2: Goley?

951
00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 1: I cannot remember.

952
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I want to say New Orleans.

953
00:58:54,720 --> 00:58:58,600
Speaker 4: It was something. It was three teams, and he eliminated

954
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,360
Speaker 4: the Cleveland Browns. And what that did is that made

955
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 4: them push the panic button and they offered him a

956
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,680
Speaker 4: contract that they knew he could not walk away from

957
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 4: he could not say no to.

958
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 1: And they did it.

959
00:59:19,320 --> 00:59:22,480
Speaker 4: They thought this would be the answer, even though they

960
00:59:22,520 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 4: wouldn't have his services for another year.

961
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:27,920
Speaker 2: And so.

962
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:35,240
Speaker 4: The Dodgers hit another home run the fresh Prince Will

963
00:59:35,360 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 4: Smith now two run homer, six to one, bottom of

964
00:59:44,840 --> 00:59:45,200
Speaker 4: a third.

965
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a Hello World series. Man, It's got all,

966
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:49,800
Speaker 2: It's got all the people that you want.

967
00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: Remember we were talking.

968
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 4: During the series, yes, and it was like Musky TV,

969
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 4: like we were completely we were.

970
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Locked in outside.

971
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:08,240
Speaker 2: This is like, Yeah, almost any baseball player that you

972
01:00:08,480 --> 01:00:10,640
Speaker 2: that you're like, that's this person's box office. I want

973
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 2: to watch them. They're almost all going to be in

974
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:13,720
Speaker 2: this series.

975
01:00:13,800 --> 01:00:16,480
Speaker 1: Except that's it. That's it.

976
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 2: Like the next if if Bryce is on the list,

977
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 2: what's the rest of the list? Otani Judge Soto to me,

978
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:27,840
Speaker 2: would be honestly the top three in the entire game

979
01:00:27,960 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 2: right now, And I know I'm exaggerating. There are others,

980
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 2: but then when you can sprinkle in Betts and Freeman,

981
01:00:36,480 --> 01:00:41,800
Speaker 2: and I know Freeman's not himself right now, but good lord,

982
01:00:42,440 --> 01:00:48,560
Speaker 2: good lord, this is the one they wanted. Yeah, this

983
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:49,520
Speaker 2: is the one they wanted.

984
01:00:49,720 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 4: Jet I'm ping pongking back and forth.

985
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:55,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well they their extra point got blocked, but there

986
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:58,080
Speaker 2: was a leverage penalty which can have consistance to the goals.

987
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,440
Speaker 3: So they went for two and they got it.

988
01:01:00,840 --> 01:01:04,480
Speaker 2: So we're gonna we're gonna see Russ cook is down

989
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:05,080
Speaker 2: by nine.

990
01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:07,919
Speaker 4: Come on, Russ, you better come home or you will

991
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:10,160
Speaker 4: be in the refew will be leftovers.

992
01:01:10,480 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 2: Well, I mean the fan base, they're they're already getting restless.

993
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 2: Oh they are this Sunday night Form, your four and

994
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:24,200
Speaker 2: two and here come the Jets and now you can't

995
01:01:24,240 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 2: complete passes. That's gonna make But this is kind of

996
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,959
Speaker 2: what I was getting at you. You made this sound

997
01:01:30,120 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 2: real normal, and I get it, Like you you had

998
01:01:33,640 --> 01:01:37,040
Speaker 2: some thoughts to us, like that makes sense. But I

999
01:01:37,160 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 2: also think there are major pitfalls in what Mike Tomlin

1000
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:44,040
Speaker 2: did here, and this is one of them. There's like

1001
01:01:44,320 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: who fans, teammates, who's gonna have patience? Like two or

1002
01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:52,520
Speaker 2: three bad series and you're like, what are we doing?

1003
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Why are we doing this?

1004
01:01:53,680 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 4: You're absolutely right once you get the sample size, uh,

1005
01:01:57,680 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 4: that you need to make an informed decision as a coach.

1006
01:02:01,040 --> 01:02:05,000
Speaker 4: You must now make the right decision. Now Russ needs

1007
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 4: to come out lead a long drive heading into the

1008
01:02:13,240 --> 01:02:16,680
Speaker 4: halftime with a touchdown. Not field goals, man, because justin

1009
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:21,040
Speaker 4: fields can get your field goals. You got to put

1010
01:02:21,120 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 4: seven on the board. Right now, are six on the

1011
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 4: board with the extra point to be you know, to

1012
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 4: consider yourself.

1013
01:02:27,240 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: Okay, let's go.

1014
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:34,560
Speaker 2: Russ's uh four four eleven for eighty one yards so far,

1015
01:02:35,240 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 2: a lot of pressure. But forty four of those eighty

1016
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:42,080
Speaker 2: one yards came on a bomb chickens that he caught

1017
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:42,920
Speaker 2: with one hand.

1018
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:43,720
Speaker 1: Skyball.

1019
01:02:44,200 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, just to just to throw it up sort of

1020
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 2: a ball. So yeah, that's what we're looking at. But

1021
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:52,600
Speaker 2: it's not what we're listening to. You want to know

1022
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:57,360
Speaker 2: what we're listening to. We're listening to Steve de Sager.

1023
01:02:57,520 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: That's that's the Steve de Seger. That's what we're doing.

1024
01:03:01,360 --> 01:03:01,640
Speaker 1: Guys.

1025
01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:03,960

1026
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,520
Speaker 7: the Dodgers, two run homer and the third having the

1027
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:09,760
Speaker 7: kind of playoff series the Dodgers have not seen since

1028
01:03:09,840 --> 01:03:12,640
Speaker 7: Corey Seeger a few years ago. And can we just

1029
01:03:12,720 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 7: say that Tommy Edmund, who was acquired during the year

1030
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,880
Speaker 7: from Southern California, he's five foot ten. They stuck him

1031
01:03:18,880 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 7: in center field due to injury. They're sticking him at

1032
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:23,440
Speaker 7: short step. This is a guy who went to a

1033
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,120
Speaker 7: tiny school in San Diego, La joya country Day which

1034
01:03:27,160 --> 01:03:30,320
Speaker 7: you if you include the elementary school and the high school,

1035
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 7: it's still only about one thousand students and this guy

1036
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:37,000
Speaker 7: is shining on the playoff stage. Can't understand it. LA

01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 7: six ' one over the Mets, end of three innings

Speaker 7: for the Mets is it's an all bullpen game for

1042
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 7: the Dodgers. They've seen three pitchers in three innings and

1043
01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 7: they for all we know, we're going to see another

01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:20,760
Speaker 7: Packers have won three straight five and two this year.

1090
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:24,200
Speaker 7: Cleveland lost its fifth straight. Cincinnati won at Cleveland twenty

1091
01:06:24,280 --> 01:06:26,760
Speaker 7: one fourteen in fact, the Bengals ran back the opening

1092
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:29,960
Speaker 7: kickoff for a touchdown one hundred yards, and later Brown's

1093
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,560
Speaker 7: quarterback Deshaun Watson suffered an achilles injury. He is likely

1094
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 7: out for the year, and the backup quarterback Dorian Thompson

1095
01:06:36,520 --> 01:06:39,720
Speaker 7: Robinson left with a finger injury. Seattle won it Atlanta

1096
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 7: thirty four to fourteen. Buffalo was down ten nothing in

1097
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,600
Speaker 7: the second but won thirty four to ten over Tennessee.

1098
01:06:46,120 --> 01:06:50,920
Speaker 7: Indianapolis edged Miami sixteen to ten. Philadelphia won twenty eight

1099
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 7: to three at the Giants Eagles defense with eight sacks,

1100
01:06:54,200 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 7: and Jacksonville started the day in London with a comeback

1101
01:06:57,200 --> 01:07:00,120
Speaker 7: win over New England thirty two to sixteen. Patriots have

1102
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,920
Speaker 7: lost six in a row. Oregon is number one in

1103
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:06,520
Speaker 7: the New College Football polls, Georgia up to number two. Hey,

1104
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 7: a pitching change at Dodger Stadium six to one LA

1105
01:07:10,160 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 7: over the Mets. The all bullpen game continues in the

1106
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:14,680
Speaker 7: top of the fourth two outs back to you.

1107
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:18,440
Speaker 2: Hey, while we're on that, and Steve, you can rock

1108
01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 2: with this too. Do you guys think that the bullpen

1109
01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,120
Speaker 2: game needs to go away?

1110
01:07:24,920 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 7: Well, realistically, of course it does, yes, But the Dodgers

1111
01:07:28,080 --> 01:07:30,439
Speaker 7: have seven starting pitchers on the injury list.

1112
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,640
Speaker 2: Right, this is not a shot at the Dodgers. Everybody's

1113
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:37,960
Speaker 2: doing it. Everybody's doing it. But yeah, I mean they

1114
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 2: kind of started the whole thing. I just wonder, from

1115
01:07:43,320 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 2: a baseball like front office approach.

1116
01:07:46,840 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 7: That is the problem actually, is how front offices deal

1117
01:07:49,840 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 7: with pitching these days. And John Smoltz, the Fox announcer,

1118
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:54,800
Speaker 7: is so great when he talks about pitching, and he

1119
01:07:54,960 --> 01:07:57,080
Speaker 7: mentions that it's great to have that idea at the

1120
01:07:57,160 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 7: major league level, but now you're getting pitchers who just

1121
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 7: aren't used to going six innings regularly, which is silly

1122
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:04,920
Speaker 7: compared to what it used to be.

1123
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,760
Speaker 2: I just think, if baseball's in the mood to make

1124
01:08:07,880 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: rule changes, which they clearly are, let's make the bases bigger,

1125
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 2: and let's do this that.

1126
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, they're right, you have to face three batters as

1127
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:15,600
Speaker 7: a reliever, right.

1128
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:17,600
Speaker 2: You can't put three people on one side of the

1129
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 2: base and on defense. If you're in that mood, then

1130
01:08:22,120 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 2: I wonder, with sort of an injury designation or set aside,

1131
01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,000
Speaker 2: you're not going to make someone go out there if

1132
01:08:29,040 --> 01:08:33,840
Speaker 2: their arm is hurt. But I wonder if your starter

1133
01:08:33,960 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 2: has got to go four innings period. They want more

1134
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:41,000
Speaker 2: offense anyway, and it would clearly lead to it, right.

1135
01:08:41,240 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 7: Well, we saw a last game when they just left

1136
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 7: the apparently ill starter who just didn't have it. Jack

1137
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 7: Flaherty last game and he pitched three full innings and

1138
01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:51,360
Speaker 7: gave up eight runs and eight hits and was the

1139
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 7: first playoff starter to have that line and not get

1140
01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:54,960
Speaker 7: any strikeouts.

1141
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 2: I get it. I just I wonder if you guys

1142
01:08:58,320 --> 01:09:02,160
Speaker 2: think that's coming, because nobody likes bullpen games.

1143
01:09:03,160 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's coming.

1144
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:10,840
Speaker 4: But when you look at how nuanced pitching is, I

1145
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:12,840
Speaker 4: think that's why people really.

1146
01:09:14,680 --> 01:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Gravitate to a show.

1147
01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 4: Hey, right, because normally pitchers are very fragile, right.

1148
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:29,439
Speaker 7: They're also really odd birds that you can't disrupt. You can't.

1149
01:09:30,520 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 4: It's it's a weird dynamic where it's like, okay, we

1150
01:09:33,920 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 4: can do that, don't say nothing.

1151
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:37,760
Speaker 7: Closers that if you bring them in in a non

1152
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 7: closer they just blow up what's.

1153
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 1: Going on the world turns off.

1154
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:46,720
Speaker 4: And I'm I've never quite understood it is weird why

1155
01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 4: that's like that, Like, like what is what what's the.

1156
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,240
Speaker 7: What's the thing in process that goes back to the

1157
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:58,519
Speaker 7: common and we made before. It's how they're raised.

1158
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 4: It's crazy to man. So now you're literally tipping on eggshells, like, okay,

1159
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,959
Speaker 4: where you go, I'm gonna get you three inning women.

1160
01:10:08,920 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 1: Three batter.

1161
01:10:09,600 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 4: Then just imagine if they didn't put the three batter

1162
01:10:12,560 --> 01:10:14,519
Speaker 4: at least you have to face three batter finish.

1163
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,560
Speaker 7: By the way, the newest pitcher just gave up a

1164
01:10:17,640 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 7: home run to the met six three LA the fourth.

1165
01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 2: Oh boy.

1166
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:23,320
Speaker 7: And this guy that they just brought in was the

1167
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 7: opener at the last bullpen game a week ago, Ryan Brazier,

1168
01:10:26,560 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 7: who walked the loss that day.

1169
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,719
Speaker 2: I do wonder about this. And this isn't just pitching.

1170
01:10:30,800 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 2: This goes for platooning and all of that stuff. If

1171
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,400
Speaker 2: you keep telling people that they're they're not good at

1172
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:39,719
Speaker 2: X y Z, they'll.

1173
01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:42,160
Speaker 7: Believe you you're limiting them, do you know what I mean?

1174
01:10:42,320 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like, if you're like, oh boy, your analytics say

1175
01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:47,639
Speaker 2: you can only hit right handers, Well, what happens when

1176
01:10:47,680 --> 01:10:49,200
Speaker 2: you've got to face a left hander?

1177
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:50,479
Speaker 1: Do you panic?

1178
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 2: Right? Like your front office has already told you you're

1179
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:57,719
Speaker 2: not very good at this, but go get ahead.

1180
01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm like all of it we're paying, you're getting

1181
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 4: you're paying so much money. Hey man, you got to

1182
01:11:07,080 --> 01:11:08,800
Speaker 4: go out there and you got to pitch, bro whatever

1183
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 4: y'all talking about. Listen, we gotta get this done.

1184
01:11:11,160 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 7: There's a major league hitter at the plate.

1185
01:11:12,840 --> 01:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Get them out. That's it. Like, what are we doing?

1186
01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:19,760
Speaker 1: Your job is to get them out.

1187
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 4: I don't care if this is the third Tuesday of

1188
01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 4: the next month, and like, hey, bro, yep, how's your arm.

1189
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 1: You're good with the dog. Let's let it rip.

1190
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 7: What the Dodger front office is constantly done in the

1191
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:40,559
Speaker 7: postseason and people blame the manager, it's really the front

1192
01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:43,680
Speaker 7: office deciding this before the game is they don't want

1193
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:46,120
Speaker 7: to see the starting pitcher like face the lineup for

1194
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,200
Speaker 7: a third time. When it comes back to the leadoff

1195
01:11:48,240 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 7: guy for a third time, the.

1196
01:11:49,320 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: Starter will remember the old days well and it's not okay, yeah,

1197
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 2: you should be able to do that in four innings.

1198
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 3: I'm not saying you required guys to go six, but.

1199
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 1: But I'm like, but you should be able to go.

1200
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:08,280
Speaker 2: Sit yeah, I mean starting starting pitcher. So yeah, yeah.

1201
01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 4: The whole thing that with the amount of money being

1202
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 4: given to pictures and.

1203
01:12:14,760 --> 01:12:17,280
Speaker 7: Well, you could say the same about bunting, which isn't

1204
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 7: done as much in Major League Baseball, and it's it's

1205
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 7: the same principle. It's great to ask the guy, you know,

1206
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:24,960
Speaker 7: this is really a good situation where you should lay

1207
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:27,679
Speaker 7: down a bunch, but they haven't grown up being bunters.

1208
01:12:28,200 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 7: I don't before this game, before this year.

1209
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 4: Smashing your fingers on the all kinds of crazy top All.

1210
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,120
Speaker 3: Right, live in the Tirack dot com Studios.

1211
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,799
Speaker 2: Thank you, Steve, appreciate that he brought up Brandon Ayuk

1212
01:12:44,160 --> 01:12:46,639
Speaker 2: from I feel like we should talk about Brandon Nyuk.

1213
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 3: Let's talk about brand.

1214
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:52,960
Speaker 2: And Ayuk next on Fox Sports Radio. All right, ty

1215
01:12:53,080 --> 01:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Rack dot com Studios. Are you a big believer that

1216
01:12:56,200 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 2: like feel good? Play good?

1217
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1218
01:13:01,960 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 2: Feel bad? Play bad?

1219
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:09,120
Speaker 1: No, okay, explain bad, feel bad, play better?

1220
01:13:10,640 --> 01:13:15,280
Speaker 2: Well? I guess what I'm getting at is, like, take

1221
01:13:15,320 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 2: Brandon Ayuk for example, everything was off of its axis

1222
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:25,360
Speaker 2: all off season, from the beginning game one, got out there,

1223
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 2: dropped a touchdown pass against the Jets, and there's just

1224
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 2: been negative energy around him the whole time. What people

1225
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 2: will remember today is that Brandon likely according to reports,

1226
01:13:38,360 --> 01:13:40,200
Speaker 2: likely towards a cl and is out for the year.

1227
01:13:41,479 --> 01:13:44,960
Speaker 2: They'll forget that early in this football game, when the

1228
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:49,840
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers were in dire need of moment and

1229
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:54,479
Speaker 2: brock Perty was in dire need of a completion, he

1230
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 2: put a tear drop beautiful right into Brandon's hands that

1231
01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,040
Speaker 2: was going to go for a field slipping first down

1232
01:14:01,560 --> 01:14:02,240
Speaker 2: maybe more.

1233
01:14:02,840 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean because he had a step. I mean

1234
01:14:04,400 --> 01:14:05,719
Speaker 4: he catches it and keeps running.

1235
01:14:05,920 --> 01:14:10,160
Speaker 2: If he makes one move, he's gone yep, and it

1236
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:16,040
Speaker 2: went right through his hands. And so the reason I'm

1237
01:14:16,080 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: asking is because I'm like, dude, DeVante Adams has been

1238
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,000
Speaker 2: a jet for three days and he's doubled up Garrett

1239
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:29,519
Speaker 2: Wilson's targets, and we know wide receivers stop it with

1240
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 2: He's going to handle this, Well, he's not Garrett Wilson.

1241
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:35,400
Speaker 2: I don't care. I don't need to hear from him.

1242
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 2: I don't care what he says. I don't care what

1243
01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 2: his mom tweets. He not okay, He's not okay with this.

1244
01:14:42,040 --> 01:14:46,759
Speaker 2: You can't convince me otherwise. And so I wonder because

1245
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:49,200
Speaker 2: he just got targeted and the Steelers picked it off.

1246
01:14:49,800 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 2: And now the Steelers are trying to flip the momentum

1247
01:14:52,040 --> 01:14:54,400
Speaker 2: of the game right before halftime, they're inside the red

1248
01:14:54,520 --> 01:14:58,280
Speaker 2: zone and I just I just don't think that this

1249
01:14:58,439 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 2: is gonna go well.

1250
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 4: H I look, he's a young player, he's a talented

1251
01:15:07,080 --> 01:15:13,479
Speaker 4: young player and you have, you know, a DeVante Adams

1252
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:18,760
Speaker 4: there now, beautiful passed by Russell Wilson to pick and touchdown.

1253
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:21,439
Speaker 1: That's exactly what he That's what he needed.

1254
01:15:23,320 --> 01:15:25,599
Speaker 2: A twelve extra point on the way almost half time.

1255
01:15:25,800 --> 01:15:27,200
Speaker 1: Beautiful beautiful past.

1256
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,040
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's it's one of those situations like he's

1257
01:15:34,080 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 4: in a lose lose situation because the Jets have gone

1258
01:15:38,680 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 4: all in on the Aaron Rodgers experiment in the project, right,

1259
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:47,200
Speaker 4: they got that, brought his coaches over, they brought the

1260
01:15:47,320 --> 01:15:50,760
Speaker 4: players over. Now they've just traded for a player he

1261
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 4: wanted everything there. They fired the head coach, uh because

1262
01:15:56,560 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 4: he looked at him like you know please yes. So

1263
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 4: right now Gary Wilson has to tread lightly. He is

1264
01:16:08,439 --> 01:16:14,040
Speaker 4: their future superstar. But right now they have a current

1265
01:16:14,240 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 4: superstar and a top five receiver. Once he's targeted in past,

1266
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 4: you know, to have someone throwing the ball. Now, what

1267
01:16:23,880 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 4: you don't want to do is the Jets end up

1268
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,640
Speaker 4: winning and continue to win and you're not getting your targets,

1269
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,880
Speaker 4: and you're not being utilized like you were when you know,

1270
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,560
Speaker 4: you and I were throwing the ball to the receivers.

1271
01:16:39,280 --> 01:16:42,560
Speaker 4: Then now it becomes more about you and not the

1272
01:16:42,640 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 4: team's success. So he's in a tight situation. Everybody knows

1273
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,200
Speaker 4: what will happen is the shift will happen. If Davante

1274
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:57,360
Speaker 4: Adams becomes the DeVante Adams that helped Aaron Rodgers win

1275
01:16:57,439 --> 01:17:01,920
Speaker 4: two back to back MVPs, then your targets will increase

1276
01:17:02,040 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 4: because they are going to double him without a doubt. Yeah,

1277
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 4: and so now you have to stay locked in and

1278
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 4: focused on winning your one on one battle because the

1279
01:17:13,439 --> 01:17:19,400
Speaker 4: ball is coming Axe Lassard and Axe Watson when they

1280
01:17:19,439 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 4: were all there in Green Bay with with with Aaron

1281
01:17:22,800 --> 01:17:28,760
Speaker 4: and Davante. So you gotta be ready and prepared to

1282
01:17:29,040 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 4: go because the double as they start playing more and

1283
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:36,160
Speaker 4: more together, that double team is going to come. If

1284
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,360
Speaker 4: he continues to target Davante and he keeps winning those

1285
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:43,720
Speaker 4: those battles, you just got to lock in.

1286
01:17:49,400 --> 01:17:53,759
Speaker 2: I get the idea of what you know, the mental

1287
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 2: side that he has to to handle.

1288
01:17:57,280 --> 01:17:57,680
Speaker 4: I just.

1289
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 2: It just feels like that wide receiver room is a lot.

1290
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 1: It is.

1291
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,880
Speaker 2: It's a lot. That's a lot for a team to handle.

1292
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 2: That's a lot to ask. And you know you said

1293
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 2: you're all in on Aaron Rodgers or they've been and

1294
01:18:15,520 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 2: and you know, at a certain point you got to

1295
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:20,800
Speaker 2: question how much is enough for? How much is too much?

1296
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:24,360
Speaker 1: Oh it's not it's not too much. This is what

1297
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: they did.

1298
01:18:24,960 --> 01:18:28,559
Speaker 2: It's what coach. We don't, we don't, we don't need.

1299
01:18:28,560 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 1: Whatever Aaron wants whisper time.

1300
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 2: What what if he decides that he would he'd love

1301
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 2: to pull one of the old Packers running backs out

1302
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 2: of retirement.

1303
01:18:39,680 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 4: There you go, like, we're going to give it to them. Okay,

1304
01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:46,320
Speaker 4: we've seen this first. It's not gonna cost you anything.

1305
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:51,880
Speaker 2: But Dorset there signed the Jets. No more bress Hall.

1306
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,720
Speaker 1: But I don't I'm not saying that, and I think

1307
01:18:54,840 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: Aaron likes Brice.

1308
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 4: But what I'm saying is like they've made moves that

1309
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:05,479
Speaker 4: no other franchise would have would have made, right correct,

1310
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 4: They've paid players no other franchise would have paid. They've

1311
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 4: hired coaches no other franchise would have hired and so,

1312
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:19,320
Speaker 4: and then demoted them and not fired them. They just

1313
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 4: relieve them of their responsibilities. But continue to pay them

1314
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:25,680
Speaker 4: for the set responsibilities.

1315
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 2: Right. Brought in a play caller who doesn't call plays.

1316
01:19:29,400 --> 01:19:32,559
Speaker 4: Right, So that's Aaron's friend that you're going to keep

1317
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,439
Speaker 4: paying even though you can't use him because he's not

1318
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:37,040
Speaker 4: very good.

1319
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what you call going all in.

1320
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,880
Speaker 3: That's what I call going to all in. That's too

1321
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:46,320
Speaker 3: all in.

1322
01:19:48,120 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 2: That one doesn't make sense to me. All right. We

1323
01:19:50,360 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 2: started a little bit with uh with Ayuk and we

1324
01:19:54,640 --> 01:20:02,000
Speaker 2: got more. So that's coming up now. Yeah, a little

1325
01:20:02,040 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 2: deeper into the night we go on Week seven National

01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:23,080

1331
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:26,280
Speaker 2: about that Niner Chiefs game. Let's extend it a little bit.

1332
01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 2: We don't have confirmation, but for those of you maybe

1333
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,719
Speaker 2: just joining us, the forty nine ers do quote fear

1334
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 2: that Brandon Ayuk has torn his acl The number twenty

1335
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:41,519
Speaker 2: three is a beloved number in sports, mainly because it

1336
01:20:41,680 --> 01:20:44,680
Speaker 2: is the number of the greatest basketball player of all

1337
01:20:44,800 --> 01:20:48,800
Speaker 2: time and It's been the number of some of the

1338
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 2: other greatest basketball players of all time as well, But

1339
01:20:52,680 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 2: that is a beloved number in sports, but not in

1340
01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:59,360
Speaker 2: this case. Not in this case. From We've talked about

1341
01:20:59,360 --> 01:21:06,480
Speaker 2: it through the summer, after rumor, social media posts, podcasts,

1342
01:21:07,800 --> 01:21:18,440
Speaker 2: posturing offers, turned down, trade requests, more rumors, and eventually,

1343
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 2: at long last, a story of a team that was

1344
01:21:22,200 --> 01:21:27,519
Speaker 2: just moments away from trading a receiver to another football team.

1345
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan goes running upstairs and says, hold on, put

1346
01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:35,800
Speaker 2: the phone down. I think we've got an agreement, and

1347
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:39,639
Speaker 2: that receiver becomes one of the top five highest paid

1348
01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:45,320
Speaker 2: receivers in the game. Then he starts to go out

1349
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:50,920
Speaker 2: on the field. Dropped balls, poor usage rates, whatever the

1350
01:21:51,040 --> 01:22:00,120
Speaker 2: reasons may have been. Twenty three catches that spank in

1351
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:07,600
Speaker 2: new contract. Twenty three catches in seven football games. That

1352
01:22:07,960 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 2: is three points something per game, and that is not

1353
01:22:14,280 --> 01:22:15,080
Speaker 2: money well spent.

1354
01:22:16,000 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 4: No, it's not, it's not, and we were, you know,

1355
01:22:19,800 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 4: hesitant to I never thought they should have paid him.

1356
01:22:26,520 --> 01:22:26,960
Speaker 2: Me neither.

1357
01:22:29,120 --> 01:22:33,320
Speaker 1: I didn't think so. I think they.

1358
01:22:35,720 --> 01:22:39,560
Speaker 4: He is a good receiver, but I didn't think he

1359
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:45,519
Speaker 4: moved the needle enough for them to garner that amount

1360
01:22:45,560 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 4: of money and they should have traded him to Pittsburgh.

1361
01:22:52,080 --> 01:22:57,960
Speaker 4: And you know now that the rookie, I think what

1362
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 4: happened to the rookie really, you know, made them looking like, Okay,

1363
01:23:05,320 --> 01:23:10,320
Speaker 4: he's not gonna be available, you know.

1364
01:23:11,080 --> 01:23:15,840
Speaker 2: Pearsall yeah, Piersall, yeah, Piersoll was injured twice during training campus.

1365
01:23:17,040 --> 01:23:21,200
Speaker 4: Yes, and then got shot. So they felt like there's

1366
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:25,240
Speaker 4: going there was a hole there and do you you

1367
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:28,439
Speaker 4: let him go? And do you you know they're trying

1368
01:23:28,479 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 4: to win the super Bowl, and so I think there

1369
01:23:32,000 --> 01:23:35,640
Speaker 4: was some hesitation and letting him go because he is

1370
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,800
Speaker 4: an he has been an important piece of the team

1371
01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,000
Speaker 4: for the last you know, two years, three years. Sure,

1372
01:23:43,960 --> 01:23:46,200
Speaker 4: I just didn't think he garnered that amount of money.

1373
01:23:46,360 --> 01:23:48,479
Speaker 4: I don't think he moved the needle enough for that.

1374
01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:52,160
Speaker 4: I don't think he's the reason why you guys uh

1375
01:23:52,280 --> 01:23:54,840
Speaker 4: continued to go to super Bowls and championships.

1376
01:23:55,800 --> 01:23:57,280
Speaker 1: So I wouldn't have paid that.

1377
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:02,519
Speaker 4: I would have saved that money because there's a tab

1378
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:05,400
Speaker 4: do a bill due next year that you're gonna have

1379
01:24:05,560 --> 01:24:08,519
Speaker 4: to pay and you need that guy.

1380
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,519
Speaker 1: And so uh.

1381
01:24:11,680 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 4: And I'm talking about in terms of rock Party yep,

1382
01:24:15,320 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 4: and and and I think you could you can bring

1383
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 4: along you know, Jennings was amazing. You know, he's out,

1384
01:24:21,280 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 4: he's hurt now of course he had debo and then parasol.

1385
01:24:25,720 --> 01:24:29,759
Speaker 4: Uh and then uh, what's the kid's meat? The number nineteen,

1386
01:24:30,120 --> 01:24:32,120
Speaker 4: the fast kid like.

1387
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, so another rookie, fourth year round rookie. Yep.

1388
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 4: So I think that I think you had something there

1389
01:24:40,120 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 4: without you know, spending that amount of money on on

1390
01:24:47,640 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 4: a receiver, on Brandon Nayu. And but now you know

1391
01:24:50,800 --> 01:24:53,000
Speaker 4: you're paying him. He's not gonna be available. We won't

1392
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:57,479
Speaker 4: be available for the start of next year. And well,

1393
01:24:57,520 --> 01:24:59,160
Speaker 4: you just have to see what this goes, you know,

1394
01:24:59,360 --> 01:25:02,120
Speaker 4: I think think they rushed to it. That happened right

1395
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 4: at the end. I always thought the most important part

1396
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 4: of all of that was getting Trent Williams back in

1397
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,720
Speaker 4: the mix. And look, the forty nine ers will be

1398
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,960
Speaker 4: fine because Christian McCaffrey's going to be back in a

1399
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:15,599
Speaker 4: couple of weeks.

1400
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:16,960
Speaker 1: He's going to be fresh.

1401
01:25:17,400 --> 01:25:19,720
Speaker 2: They probably play one more game without him.

1402
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:24,640
Speaker 4: Best thing that ever happened, best thing ever happened. He

1403
01:25:24,800 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 4: didn't get to take. He didn't have to take the

1404
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:31,479
Speaker 4: seven eight weeks of pounding right, You're going to have

1405
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 4: a fresh Christian McCaffrey going into the second half of

1406
01:25:34,520 --> 01:25:36,480
Speaker 4: the year, into the playoffs.

1407
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:40,000
Speaker 1: And that's that's why. Another one of the reasons why

1408
01:25:40,080 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm like, it's it just just bear with them.

1409
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:47,679
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's ugly at times, but they have enough talent

1410
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 4: there to where that thing is going to click, because

1411
01:25:52,200 --> 01:25:54,439
Speaker 4: when Christian is in the lineup, everything changes.

1412
01:25:54,960 --> 01:25:59,680
Speaker 2: I listen, I agree with you completely. I'm very much like,

1413
01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:06,240
Speaker 2: we've done this too many times for me to jump

1414
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 2: ship and then get on the ship, and then get

1415
01:26:09,240 --> 01:26:11,080
Speaker 2: off the ship, get on the ship, and.

1416
01:26:11,080 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 3: Then we're not doing this week to week.

1417
01:26:13,560 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 2: Then the forty nine ers, if you look at their history,

1418
01:26:16,439 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 2: they usually don't make the Super Bowl when the season

1419
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: goes like this, but they usually make the NFC title game.

1420
01:26:21,560 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 2: Like they've been three and five, they've been three and four,

1421
01:26:24,720 --> 01:26:27,759
Speaker 2: they've been two and four, they've been all these things

1422
01:26:28,280 --> 01:26:31,200
Speaker 2: if you look at their history under Kyle Shanahan. So

1423
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 2: you're right, this team in November and December might look

1424
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:38,959
Speaker 2: very different than it does now. I don't think anything's

1425
01:26:39,080 --> 01:26:41,640
Speaker 2: good right now, but it's not that the season's not

1426
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:44,920
Speaker 2: lost to me. There are bigger issues for me, if

1427
01:26:44,960 --> 01:26:47,800
Speaker 2: you want to talk about today, I don't understand how

1428
01:26:47,840 --> 01:26:49,600
Speaker 2: a team plays that undisciplined.

1429
01:26:50,040 --> 01:26:53,920
Speaker 3: But the Brandon story for me is much broader.

1430
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:57,080
Speaker 2: Than the forty nine ers. I think that there you

1431
01:26:57,160 --> 01:27:00,519
Speaker 2: and I have this conversation throughout August when the bubble

1432
01:27:00,600 --> 01:27:03,040
Speaker 2: gonna burst, and now let's take a look at it,

1433
01:27:03,479 --> 01:27:06,240
Speaker 2: and Brandon is not. I don't even know if he's

1434
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:09,960
Speaker 2: Exhibit A. He might be Exhibit C, he might be

1435
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:14,240
Speaker 2: Exhibit E. I mean, DeVante Smith makes twenty five million

1436
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:17,360
Speaker 2: a year. They don't use him. He's healthy. Now they

1437
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 2: don't throw him the ball. They can't throw the ball

1438
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:24,040
Speaker 2: for negative two yards. Thank you. Tyreek Hill and Jalon

1439
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:26,640
Speaker 2: Waddle a combined fifty eight million dollars and they are

1440
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:31,479
Speaker 2: one too, a concussion away from being spectators. Brandon I

1441
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:35,599
Speaker 2: Yuk wasn't being utilized when he was healthy, and now

1442
01:27:36,040 --> 01:27:40,200
Speaker 2: he is very very likely out for the year, and

1443
01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,840
Speaker 2: we can continue to do this. Jamar Chase didn't even

1444
01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 2: get his money yet, and he created a team. The

1445
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:50,559
Speaker 2: vibe around the Bengals at such a level through training camp.

1446
01:27:50,720 --> 01:27:53,880
Speaker 2: I think they're still trying to recover. And yes, they

1447
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:56,679
Speaker 2: won to day against maybe the worst team in the league,

1448
01:27:57,680 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 2: and they don't look right. And and and meantime, the Chiefs,

1449
01:28:04,240 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 2: who not only traded Tyreek Hill follow me lost for

1450
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 2: she Rice for the year, never had Hollywood Brown show up,

1451
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:19,240
Speaker 2: grabs Juju Smith Schuster from I.

1452
01:28:19,320 --> 01:28:23,360
Speaker 10: Don't know where, and he didn't play five and zero,

1453
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:28,240
Speaker 10: six and oh six and now excuse me six and all.

1454
01:28:30,080 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 10: What's what's not fair is the outlier.

1455
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:38,679
Speaker 4: Sure, the outlier is there's only one team that has

1456
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:43,120
Speaker 4: a Patrick Mahomes and there's only one team that's coached

1457
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 4: by Andy Reid. Those two play those two entities alone

1458
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 4: gets you to the playoffs every year with no one

1459
01:28:51,520 --> 01:28:52,760
Speaker 4: else on the roster, no.

1460
01:28:52,920 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 2: Doubt, no doubt. But I also think it's fair to

1461
01:28:55,360 --> 01:28:58,479
Speaker 2: go around the league and go, all right, who is

1462
01:28:58,720 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 2: paying their receiver and loving that they did? Right, I've

1463
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,800
Speaker 2: got two answers for you, And then that's the end.

1464
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 2: Minnesota and Detroit, that's it, that's it, that's it. They

1465
01:29:11,000 --> 01:29:13,439
Speaker 2: both love their guy, they're both five and one. It's

1466
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:17,439
Speaker 2: tucked into whatever they're doing. Good for you. But but

1467
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:21,600
Speaker 2: I didn't even bring up Dallas. For goodness sakes, I

1468
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:26,519
Speaker 2: didn't even bring up Dallas. I just it's a weird trend.

1469
01:29:26,960 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 2: It's a very odd trend to me that so many

1470
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 2: NFL teams are like, well, shrug shoulders, that's what it costs,

1471
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:38,160
Speaker 2: so we'll do it. I don't know, man, the Chiefs

1472
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:40,439
Speaker 2: didn't do it, and they haven't not won the Super

1473
01:29:40,479 --> 01:29:41,000
Speaker 2: Bowl since.

1474
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think you're onto something there.

1475
01:29:46,720 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 4: And that bubble we were talking about, it's getting mighty

1476
01:29:51,280 --> 01:29:59,760
Speaker 4: close to popping because you don't need that guy at

1477
01:29:59,800 --> 01:30:04,080
Speaker 4: the receiver spot that garners that much money to win.

1478
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:12,040
Speaker 4: You don't. You don't. Now, if you don't have a

1479
01:30:12,200 --> 01:30:19,200
Speaker 4: top tier quarterback, then you're actually just wasting money if

1480
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:20,720
Speaker 4: you if you be a receiver and you don't have

1481
01:30:20,760 --> 01:30:22,879
Speaker 4: a quarterback, because.

1482
01:30:22,720 --> 01:30:26,479
Speaker 2: Nobody see Colvin Ridley and Tennessee go ahead and check

1483
01:30:26,520 --> 01:30:30,720
Speaker 2: out how that's going. He has nine catches this year.

1484
01:30:30,960 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, it's it's it's it's one of those situations.

1485
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:38,720
Speaker 4: And and look, trust me, they're looking at all of this,

1486
01:30:39,960 --> 01:30:43,200
Speaker 4: you know, coaches, gms around the league, they're like, Okay, well,

1487
01:30:44,400 --> 01:30:48,680
Speaker 4: you know, come on, this isn't this doesn't look like

1488
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:50,400
Speaker 4: it's trending in the right direction.

1489
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:52,160
Speaker 1: And it's not.

1490
01:30:53,560 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 2: And so.

1491
01:30:56,200 --> 01:30:58,200
Speaker 4: I mean, there always be a bunch of receivers in

1492
01:30:58,240 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 4: the draft bunch, and you have to be able to

1493
01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 4: develop them, bring them in, get them young, get them right.

1494
01:31:12,200 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 4: But when that second contract comes, man, you gotta be

1495
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:18,360
Speaker 4: willing to deal. Got to be willing to deal.

1496
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:23,880
Speaker 2: H so crazy pain. I look, well, it's week seven,

1497
01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 2: so we're far enough away from missing camp that I

1498
01:31:26,960 --> 01:31:29,839
Speaker 2: don't like. If Brandon had done that week one, everyone

1499
01:31:29,880 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 2: would have blamed missing camp.

1500
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:33,080
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1501
01:31:33,320 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 2: On when you get one of those types of you know,

1502
01:31:36,360 --> 01:31:39,960
Speaker 2: tendon or muscular injuries, everyone would have been I think

1503
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:42,400
Speaker 2: we're far enough away so people won't bring that up.

1504
01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,200
Speaker 2: But man, I don't even know what I believe in here.

1505
01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:48,000
Speaker 2: But there was just bad juju all over this situation

1506
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:49,599
Speaker 2: from the jump.

1507
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:54,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's so disjointed. The team wasn't disarrayed the whole offseason.

1508
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,040
Speaker 4: Too much attention being paid to places it didn't need

1509
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 4: to be played. And now we're seeing that play out.

1510
01:32:01,400 --> 01:32:06,880
Speaker 4: We're seeing and manifest in wins and losses, and at

1511
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,400
Speaker 4: some point you got to realize, Okay, we got to

1512
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:12,280
Speaker 4: just put all that to bed, and we've got to refocus.

1513
01:32:12,479 --> 01:32:15,080
Speaker 4: And a great way to refocus is having your best

1514
01:32:15,200 --> 01:32:18,760
Speaker 4: player be back and be available, and I think they

1515
01:32:18,920 --> 01:32:24,400
Speaker 4: get that coming up pretty soon here, heading into November December,

1516
01:32:26,240 --> 01:32:31,519
Speaker 4: they're going to have Christian McCaffrey available. And the biggest

1517
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:37,560
Speaker 4: thing it just changes how teams can can play you.

1518
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:42,960
Speaker 2: The word is and still a long way to go obviously,

1519
01:32:43,120 --> 01:32:45,519
Speaker 2: but yeah, the word is. They'll play Dallas next week,

1520
01:32:45,520 --> 01:32:47,760
Speaker 2: they'll have their buy and then Christian McCaffrey should be

1521
01:32:47,760 --> 01:32:48,720
Speaker 2: ready to go right after that.

1522
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's perfect. Yeah, that's perfect. That's week nine, week ten, right,

1523
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:00,280
Speaker 4: that would be week ten, correct? We ten perfect the

1524
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:02,800
Speaker 4: whole whole second half of the season. Oh that's good,

1525
01:33:03,439 --> 01:33:07,080
Speaker 4: tell you man, it's perfect. Latim mileage on Christian McCaffrey.

1526
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:11,840
Speaker 2: Yes, there is all right, nowhere near done yet best

1527
01:33:11,920 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 2: division in football and we haven't even visited yet, but

01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:06,439
Speaker 2: Steve dis Seg will be long in about seven or

1543
01:34:06,479 --> 01:34:13,519
Speaker 2: eight minutes. We're not even at the halfway point yet,

1544
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:17,040
Speaker 2: but when we kind of get there, Like if I

1545
01:34:17,240 --> 01:34:20,560
Speaker 2: had to, just if I had to pull all of

1546
01:34:20,760 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 2: my emotion out of the NFC and just base it

1547
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:32,400
Speaker 2: totally on what I see the Lions and the Vikings

1548
01:34:32,439 --> 01:34:38,040
Speaker 2: should play in the NFC title game. Those are your

1549
01:34:38,080 --> 01:34:42,760
Speaker 2: two best teams right now. Yeah, they're balanced, they do

1550
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,240
Speaker 2: all of it. They somehow play really good defense, yet

1551
01:34:47,439 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 2: there's still sixty points in a football game, do you

1552
01:34:51,479 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 2: know what I mean?

1553
01:34:52,240 --> 01:34:55,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like I can like that was weird.

1554
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 2: Like the Vikings are really they're really hard at home

1555
01:35:00,080 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 2: on defense. And for Detroit to do what they did today, man,

1556
01:35:07,400 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: I I could take it a step further than saying

1557
01:35:10,520 --> 01:35:15,160
Speaker 2: that should be the matchup seven weeks in, the Lions

1558
01:35:16,040 --> 01:35:17,720
Speaker 2: looked to me like a Super Bowl team.

1559
01:35:20,240 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they do. They look buttoned up, they look

1560
01:35:24,760 --> 01:35:27,320
Speaker 4: ready to go. And on the flip side of that,

1561
01:35:27,880 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 4: Minnesota looks like they're ready to compete. They're ready to

1562
01:35:30,800 --> 01:35:36,800
Speaker 4: battle that thing out. Same division, That whole division is

1563
01:35:38,680 --> 01:35:40,120
Speaker 4: it's the best division in football.

1564
01:35:40,520 --> 01:35:41,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really is.

1565
01:35:41,840 --> 01:35:44,560
Speaker 4: And you know, there was no great design on that

1566
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:47,679
Speaker 4: being that way, right, we were supposed to have JJ

1567
01:35:47,840 --> 01:35:52,479
Speaker 4: McCarthy starting as a rookie in Minnesota. We were trying

1568
01:35:52,520 --> 01:35:56,439
Speaker 4: to figure out if Jordan Love was you know who

1569
01:35:56,560 --> 01:35:59,400
Speaker 4: he was at the end of the season last year.

1570
01:35:59,520 --> 01:36:02,080
Speaker 4: Through second half of the season going into the playoffs,

1571
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:07,120
Speaker 4: we had questions about Caleb Williams. Is he going to

1572
01:36:07,360 --> 01:36:11,760
Speaker 4: be that guy in Chicago and if they've done enough,

1573
01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:14,840
Speaker 4: they did enough to put enough pieces around him for

1574
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:19,479
Speaker 4: him not to stumble out the gates and look, it's

1575
01:36:20,920 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 4: it is Detroit gonna have a hangover from success that

1576
01:36:24,040 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 4: they've never had and all of those questions have been

1577
01:36:30,320 --> 01:36:35,120
Speaker 4: answered in a positive way and they're playing good football

1578
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:41,320
Speaker 4: in that division. I like what Chicago was doing. They

1579
01:36:41,360 --> 01:36:45,120
Speaker 4: have taken the training wheels off. Caleb Williams They're gonna

1580
01:36:45,160 --> 01:36:47,759
Speaker 4: let them sling it, but they're going to be balanced

1581
01:36:47,840 --> 01:36:50,400
Speaker 4: to take the pressure off them. That defense has showed up.

1582
01:36:51,280 --> 01:36:53,720
Speaker 4: They're not gonna put all the pressure on the young quarterback.

1583
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:56,320
Speaker 1: I love that. I love the fact that.

1584
01:36:58,560 --> 01:37:03,960
Speaker 2: Wow, I'm sorry, I can't even okay, I'm gonna refer

1585
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:05,960
Speaker 2: back to what I said to you an hour ago.

1586
01:37:06,120 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, Oh what I said to you an hour

1587
01:37:09,520 --> 01:37:14,479
Speaker 2: ago was I feel like, without even knowing what's going on,

1588
01:37:15,439 --> 01:37:18,400
Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson's head is probably in a bad space.

1589
01:37:18,520 --> 01:37:19,280
Speaker 1: Oh boy.

1590
01:37:19,880 --> 01:37:23,080
Speaker 2: And when you're in a bad space, bad things happen,

1591
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,519
Speaker 2: such as bawls twenty yards down the field, dotted to

1592
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:31,280
Speaker 2: your chest that bounce off your chest plate into the air,

1593
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 2: get picked off and almost returned for a touchdown. The

1594
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:41,840
Speaker 2: only reason it wasn't a touchdown was the Vonte Adams

1595
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:46,800
Speaker 2: got I mean that play right there that had to

1596
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:48,840
Speaker 2: be in his nightmares last night.

1597
01:37:49,200 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 3: Could and now the Steelers are on the one yard line.

1598
01:37:56,080 --> 01:37:58,720
Speaker 1: Oh, Gary Wilson, slam your helmet, do all of that?

1599
01:37:59,360 --> 01:37:59,559
Speaker 2: Yep.

1600
01:38:00,640 --> 01:38:07,600
Speaker 4: Guess who the one quarterback you don't want to have

1601
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,560
Speaker 4: to lose faith in you is Aaron Rodgers, because he

1602
01:38:11,760 --> 01:38:14,760
Speaker 4: just won't throw it over there, that we'll do it.

1603
01:38:15,280 --> 01:38:18,479
Speaker 2: It didn't go through his hands, have his hands up,

1604
01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,080
Speaker 2: perfect pass. It hit him in the chest and his

1605
01:38:22,200 --> 01:38:23,400
Speaker 2: hands weren't even up, but he.

1606
01:38:23,479 --> 01:38:25,120
Speaker 1: Was looking perfect pass.

1607
01:38:25,680 --> 01:38:29,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I'm telling you, man, that's all I'm saying.

1608
01:38:30,600 --> 01:38:33,240
Speaker 2: I look at all this stuff and I go, this

1609
01:38:33,600 --> 01:38:41,719
Speaker 2: just feels like negative energy. It feels Brandon Ayuk feels

1610
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:44,799
Speaker 2: like negative energy. When I watched the Dolphins play, Tyreek

1611
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,560
Speaker 2: Hill looks bored. Garrett Wilson, there's no way that he

1612
01:38:50,479 --> 01:38:53,680
Speaker 2: is feeling good about this. But go to the two

1613
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,400
Speaker 2: examples that we gave, and they're straight from the game

1614
01:38:56,520 --> 01:38:59,080
Speaker 2: that we're talking about right now. You know who looked

1615
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:06,920
Speaker 2: incredible today was justin Jefferson catch Radius is out in

1616
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:10,759
Speaker 2: the game by far. And I'm a'm n ross Saint Brown,

1617
01:39:11,160 --> 01:39:15,200
Speaker 2: who is just perfect for what they do there, and

1618
01:39:15,320 --> 01:39:20,360
Speaker 2: it's such a pro at least everything. I just those

1619
01:39:20,400 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 2: two teams right now. The Niners and Chiefs was billed

1620
01:39:24,520 --> 01:39:28,120
Speaker 2: as the game of the day. It failed. The Niners

1621
01:39:28,240 --> 01:39:32,960
Speaker 2: failed with their end of the bar Vikings and Lions

1622
01:39:33,080 --> 01:39:33,840
Speaker 2: was the game of the day.

1623
01:39:35,920 --> 01:39:39,640
Speaker 1: So good and and I'll tell you how good it

1624
01:39:39,920 --> 01:39:47,400
Speaker 1: was so I'm not in La. I'm in Atlanta.

1625
01:39:48,040 --> 01:39:48,320
Speaker 2: Okay.

1626
01:39:49,600 --> 01:39:52,719
Speaker 4: It was the Atlanta Falcons Alumni Weekend. And I try

1627
01:39:52,800 --> 01:39:56,160
Speaker 4: to to every year pick a team did I play

1628
01:39:56,280 --> 01:39:58,360
Speaker 4: for and go Like last year I was in Houston.

1629
01:39:59,080 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 1: This year, I'm doing it Atlanta.

1630
01:40:01,240 --> 01:40:05,040
Speaker 4: Uh. Next year I probably do denver O and uh.

1631
01:40:06,040 --> 01:40:10,000
Speaker 4: And so I was at the game, the Seahawks Falcons game.

1632
01:40:10,320 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 2: Did you go down the field? I went down on

1633
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:15,400
Speaker 2: the fielding at halftime and.

1634
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:18,240
Speaker 4: No, no, it was It's been a whole weekend. We

1635
01:40:18,320 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 4: were at the practices. We were it's it's been amazing.

1636
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:24,880
Speaker 4: It's been amazing. And shout out to the Atlanta Falcons

1637
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:31,800
Speaker 4: and uh, you know the beautiful people wore done who

1638
01:40:32,000 --> 01:40:38,040
Speaker 4: are such a big part of the alumni uh situation.

1639
01:40:38,560 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 4: I mean they they really, you know, do a great job. Shila.

1640
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:49,599
Speaker 4: Sheila is amazing. She's you know, spearheads the alumni weekend

1641
01:40:49,680 --> 01:40:51,759
Speaker 4: and stuff like that. You had a whole team of people.

1642
01:40:52,479 --> 01:40:56,680
Speaker 4: But I was sitting in there and I had my

1643
01:40:56,960 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 4: phone and I was just watching the Minnesota Detroit game.

1644
01:41:04,479 --> 01:41:07,320
Speaker 4: I was watching four games, but the Minnesota Detroit game

1645
01:41:07,439 --> 01:41:10,080
Speaker 4: is the one that really I was like, oh, this

1646
01:41:10,280 --> 01:41:13,439
Speaker 4: is now, this is football. I was bored with what

1647
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:16,920
Speaker 4: was you know, what was happening in the game. I

1648
01:41:17,080 --> 01:41:23,200
Speaker 4: was actually at yep, But that that, you know, that

1649
01:41:23,320 --> 01:41:26,960
Speaker 4: Minnesota game was was something else. Man, it was s faccial.

1650
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,360
Speaker 4: It was that's the type of football you want to see.

1651
01:41:32,920 --> 01:41:37,640
Speaker 2: And then, meantime of all the things the Packers have

1652
01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:42,400
Speaker 2: been through, Jordan Love, missing time, embarrassing loss at home

1653
01:41:42,479 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 2: to Minnesota, even though they rallied all of those things,

1654
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:47,280
Speaker 2: I thought this was the kind of game that the

1655
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:50,200
Speaker 2: Packers really needed to sort of legitimize all of this

1656
01:41:50,360 --> 01:41:54,160
Speaker 2: for themselves. Yeah, and the Bears are nice. This is

1657
01:41:54,240 --> 01:41:57,120
Speaker 2: a nice story, but I just being honest, I feel

1658
01:41:57,200 --> 01:42:00,000
Speaker 2: like that's they're a year away. This is a nice story,

1659
01:42:00,200 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 2: but they're not gonna be able to keep up with

1660
01:42:01,560 --> 01:42:02,439
Speaker 2: those other three teams.

1661
01:42:02,479 --> 01:42:03,240
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no no.

1662
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:07,800
Speaker 2: But the Lions, Vikings and Packers are combined fifteen and four.

1663
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 2: Like that's right now where the NFC lives, done lem

1664
01:42:15,120 --> 01:42:17,800
Speaker 2: in San Francisco. No no, no, no, no no, it

1665
01:42:17,880 --> 01:42:20,599
Speaker 2: lives right there. Oh except for one other team, which

1666
01:42:20,600 --> 01:42:22,920
Speaker 2: we'll talk about as soon as Steve is done talking.

1667
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:25,080
Speaker 2: But here comes Steve to do some talking.

1668
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,200
Speaker 7: Wow, do we have tension on three fronts right now

1669
01:42:28,880 --> 01:42:31,800
Speaker 7: for starters. You mentioned the NFL game going and the

1670
01:42:31,880 --> 01:42:35,080
Speaker 7: Steelers have taken the lead. There's also the New York

1671
01:42:35,200 --> 01:42:38,680
Speaker 7: Mets perhaps being eliminated tonight. They're playing Game six in

1672
01:42:38,760 --> 01:42:41,519
Speaker 7: the National League Championship Series. It's bottom of the six

1673
01:42:41,600 --> 01:42:44,720
Speaker 7: the on FS one. The Dodgers have extended their lead

1674
01:42:44,800 --> 01:42:47,799
Speaker 7: to seven to three over New York because Shoho Tani

1675
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 7: just came up with runners in scoring position, and yes,

1676
01:42:51,240 --> 01:42:53,679
Speaker 7: he looped a single to left field for a run.

1677
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:58,519
Speaker 7: He's now eighteen for his last twenty two with runners

1678
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:02,640
Speaker 7: in scoring position, batting over eight hundred in that situation.

1679
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:07,439
Speaker 7: It's ridiculous. Yeah, exactly seven to three now, end of

1680
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:10,599
Speaker 7: six innings against the Mets. Tommy Edmond had an early

1681
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,840
Speaker 7: two run double and two run homer. The Dodgers have

1682
01:43:14,040 --> 01:43:17,479
Speaker 7: used already five pitchers in the first six innings. We'll

1683
01:43:17,520 --> 01:43:21,360
Speaker 7: see if Evan Phillips, who had a shaky sixth inning,

1684
01:43:21,520 --> 01:43:23,639
Speaker 7: goes out again for the seventh. The Mets left base

1685
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 7: is loaded in the six. In fact, the Mets have

1686
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:29,439
Speaker 7: left eleven men on base in the first six innings.

1687
01:43:29,920 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 7: There's also the New York Jets, who are losing sixteen

1688
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:36,320
Speaker 7: to fifteen. Mid third quarter at Pittsburgh, Steelers settled for

1689
01:43:36,439 --> 01:43:39,280
Speaker 7: a short field goal to take the lead. Didn't see

1690
01:43:39,280 --> 01:43:41,639
Speaker 7: any justin fields on the field there and they kicked

1691
01:43:41,640 --> 01:43:44,120
Speaker 7: the field goal. Russell Wilson does have two hundred four

1692
01:43:44,200 --> 01:43:47,680
Speaker 7: yards passing as tonight's starter. He has a TD who too,

1693

1706
01:44:29,479 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 7: in the nineties, and yet her teammate Brianna Stewart not

1707
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 7: shooting well either did hit two free throws late in

1708
01:44:35,560 --> 01:44:38,200

Speaker 1: Two games.

1752
01:46:45,600 --> 01:46:47,519
Speaker 7: Two teams are on by this week, but that would

1753
01:46:47,560 --> 01:46:50,720
Speaker 7: include Dallas, the team that allows twenty eight points a game.

1754
01:46:50,760 --> 01:46:52,559
Speaker 7: They're at San Francisco next Sunday night.

1755
01:46:52,600 --> 01:46:56,120
Speaker 2: Back to you, all right, great stuff tonight, Steve, appreciate

1756
01:46:56,200 --> 01:47:01,040
Speaker 2: that so much. Excellent Steve Yep Live ty Rack Studios.

1757
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:04,840
Speaker 2: I thought that you should you should peacock like we're

1758
01:47:04,840 --> 01:47:07,000
Speaker 2: almost out of here and you haven't peacocks yet, and

1759
01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 2: you should peacock because the Washington Commanders are very very

1760
01:47:11,479 --> 01:47:15,160
Speaker 2: good at footing, oh man. And I don't care that

1761
01:47:15,280 --> 01:47:17,640
Speaker 2: they played the Carolina Panthers. I don't care about that

1762
01:47:17,720 --> 01:47:19,200
Speaker 2: at all. I only want to hear that for a

1763
01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:22,679
Speaker 2: second because Jade and Daniels went out with a rib injury.

1764
01:47:22,800 --> 01:47:25,160
Speaker 2: His mom tweeted that he's fine, but he never came back.

1765
01:47:25,240 --> 01:47:28,719
Speaker 2: I don't know what the situation is going forward. Daniels

1766
01:47:28,760 --> 01:47:32,040
Speaker 2: completed both of his passes, ran for fifty yards, and

1767
01:47:32,120 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 2: then that was it, and he went out early, and

1768
01:47:35,080 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota came in and when eighteen of twenty three

1769
01:47:39,160 --> 01:47:43,320
Speaker 2: for two hundred and five yards, two touchdown throws, no picks,

1770
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:50,599
Speaker 2: no turnovers, and you blew out another NFL team forty

1771
01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:54,679
Speaker 2: to seven. They got everybody involved. The run game was good,

1772
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:59,439
Speaker 2: the receiving game was good. It spoke to me to

1773
01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,920
Speaker 2: what the commanders have as far as like what we've

1774
01:48:03,000 --> 01:48:07,360
Speaker 2: talked about the operation. They've got an operation that I

1775
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:11,240
Speaker 2: thought was headed in the right direction, but apparently they

1776
01:48:11,320 --> 01:48:14,400
Speaker 2: got there quicker than I thought they would. This team

1777
01:48:14,479 --> 01:48:18,040
Speaker 2: is ready to roll. And you know I've already joined

1778
01:48:18,080 --> 01:48:20,439
Speaker 2: you on this bus. But it's time to hat. It's

1779
01:48:20,479 --> 01:48:22,320
Speaker 2: time to hank the horne. They're gonna win the NFC.

1780
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:25,280
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, they will.

1781
01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,400
Speaker 4: Like look, man, when you see the pieces to the

1782
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 4: puzzle falling in place, ownership, coach, draft, you can feel it,

1783
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 4: you see it. And that's the feeling I got. They

1784
01:48:40,800 --> 01:48:48,439
Speaker 4: got a generational talent at quarterback. The ownership group, not

1785
01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:53,160
Speaker 4: afraid to make moves, not afraid to do whatever it takes,

1786
01:48:53,640 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 4: new energy in the building, and they are out there

1787
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:02,320
Speaker 4: playing serious. They are arous. You put up forty with

1788
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:11,000
Speaker 4: the backup quarterback. Oh man, it's you know, it's a

1789
01:49:11,160 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 4: it's a. It's a It's a great time to be

1790
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:19,160
Speaker 4: a Washington commander, a fan really is.

1791
01:49:19,160 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, and they want you know, go back to

1792
01:49:22,400 --> 01:49:24,760
Speaker 2: that game last week. You lose at Baltimore, but you

1793
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:28,479
Speaker 2: hold up, you hold up, you use that game by seven, right,

1794
01:49:29,200 --> 01:49:32,560
Speaker 2: and now now you get to just kick in to

1795
01:49:32,840 --> 01:49:35,479
Speaker 2: your What place were they in? I guess they were third,

1796
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:38,800
Speaker 2: not fourth, but whatever, it is that schedule that you've

1797
01:49:38,880 --> 01:49:40,920
Speaker 2: got the rest of the way. You got a lot

1798
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:42,880
Speaker 2: of division games in front of you. You still get

1799
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:46,320
Speaker 2: to play the New York Giants in two weeks. You've

1800
01:49:46,320 --> 01:49:50,479
Speaker 2: already beaten them once. The Bears are visiting next week.

1801
01:49:50,560 --> 01:49:54,720
Speaker 2: Good measuring stick for them. You've got all the Philadelphia's

1802
01:49:54,720 --> 01:49:57,760
Speaker 2: and the Dallas is still ahead. But you got a game,

1803
01:49:57,840 --> 01:49:59,880
Speaker 2: a home game against Tennessee. You get to go to

1804
01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:03,519
Speaker 2: New Orleans. They are all banged up. There's nothing that

1805
01:50:03,840 --> 01:50:06,680
Speaker 2: terrifying on the schedule. They won't run the table. That's

1806
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:09,479
Speaker 2: not what I'm saying. But this is a double digit

1807
01:50:10,160 --> 01:50:14,360
Speaker 2: win football team. Oh yeah, well, like what without a doubt,

1808
01:50:14,439 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 2: this is a double digit win football team this year,

1809
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:19,919
Speaker 2: and we are going to see them play in January.

1810
01:50:20,320 --> 01:50:25,000
Speaker 4: Clearly the best team in that division. We will see

1811
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:29,439
Speaker 4: them play in January. And you know, when you allow

1812
01:50:29,600 --> 01:50:32,000
Speaker 4: teams like that to get a taste. We saw it

1813
01:50:32,080 --> 01:50:35,560
Speaker 4: last year with Houston, Right, we saw them get a

1814
01:50:35,680 --> 01:50:39,120
Speaker 4: taste and make a nice little playoff run. But what

1815
01:50:39,280 --> 01:50:42,800
Speaker 4: it did was it gave them the confidence to come

1816
01:50:42,840 --> 01:50:44,920
Speaker 4: into this season and be one of the top teams

1817
01:50:45,040 --> 01:50:50,600
Speaker 4: right expectations. And I remember talking to the owners of

1818
01:50:50,760 --> 01:50:53,360
Speaker 4: the Texans during the Hall of Fame game and they

1819
01:50:53,400 --> 01:50:57,639
Speaker 4: were like, you know, look, it's scary because people, now

1820
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:02,360
Speaker 4: you know, we're one of the teams people expect to

1821
01:51:02,560 --> 01:51:05,880
Speaker 4: fight to represent the AFC in the in the Super Bowl,

1822
01:51:06,560 --> 01:51:10,880
Speaker 4: and that's they've never been there before. And I said, yeah,

1823
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:14,200
Speaker 4: but that's what you want. I said, what you guys

1824
01:51:14,240 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 4: did last year was you did the right thing. You

1825
01:51:16,560 --> 01:51:22,679
Speaker 4: got the right coach. You you won the draft because

1826
01:51:22,720 --> 01:51:26,720
Speaker 4: you had the offensive and the defensive rookie of the year,

1827
01:51:27,960 --> 01:51:31,960
Speaker 4: right should have had the coach of the year. So

1828
01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:34,200
Speaker 4: you guys put the pieces together.

1829
01:51:35,600 --> 01:51:38,080
Speaker 1: So now all you have to do.

1830
01:51:39,040 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 4: Is continue to build on that. And these kids, they

1831
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 4: don't know anything prior to what's going on now. They

1832
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:50,360
Speaker 4: just know they're good. Everybody's young. The team is young,

1833
01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:55,679
Speaker 4: then the coaching staff is young, and it's just new energy.

1834
01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,360
Speaker 4: Me being around in that building and being there. It's

1835
01:51:58,439 --> 01:52:01,680
Speaker 4: new energy there, man, and it's in factious. And they

1836
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:04,360
Speaker 4: got a really good team. They played a really good

1837
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:08,200
Speaker 4: Green Bay team at home and it came down to it,

1838
01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 4: you know, last second field goal.

1839
01:52:10,760 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 2: I tell you what, I don't want to gloss over

1840
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,160
Speaker 2: who I said is on their schedule next week. I

1841
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:18,800
Speaker 2: really hope Jayden Daniels can play next week. It is

1842
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:24,559
Speaker 2: Commanders and bears Cale. We need that Jaden Daniels head

1843
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:28,800
Speaker 2: to head in the Capital next weekend. That would be

1844
01:52:29,040 --> 01:52:33,840
Speaker 2: absolutely fantastic. Hope that it happens. All right, back with

1845
01:52:33,960 --> 01:52:36,760
Speaker 2: some final thoughts on this one, Tyreck dot Com Studios

1846
01:52:36,800 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 2: with me from Salammark Willard, Fox Sports Radio. I wonder

1847
01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:42,840
Speaker 2: if they had this Blair and in the wide receiver

1848
01:52:43,040 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 2: room for the Jets all week, call.

1849
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:52,799
Speaker 1: Curly out well early.

1850
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:58,840
Speaker 2: These are the Tireck dot Com Studios and Greg zerline

1851
01:52:58,960 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 2: of the Jets is on to try a thirty five

1852
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:08,800
Speaker 2: yard field goal. It has been blocked. It is no good.

1853
01:53:10,439 --> 01:53:15,640
Speaker 3: The Steelers continue to lead by eight with two and

1854
01:53:15,680 --> 01:53:16,519
Speaker 3: a half to go in.

1855
01:53:16,560 --> 01:53:17,360
Speaker 2: The third quarter.

1856
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:20,840
Speaker 1: At this point, you just got to go for it

1857
01:53:20,960 --> 01:53:23,120
Speaker 1: every time. Then, I may that's what we're doing.

1858
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:28,680
Speaker 2: Hot mess that kicking game. But what we saw on

1859
01:53:28,800 --> 01:53:31,280
Speaker 2: this drive is something that I'll be honest with you,

1860
01:53:32,520 --> 01:53:36,759
Speaker 2: I did not think we would ever see it again.

1861
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:43,639
Speaker 2: And those are targets to wide receiver Mike Williams. Mike

1862
01:53:43,720 --> 01:53:48,360
Speaker 2: Williams in a Jets uniform. In fact, they threw to

1863
01:53:48,439 --> 01:53:51,719
Speaker 2: him on fourth down and he caught it for fifteen yards.

1864
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:56,080
Speaker 2: Now you were talking about how Garrett Wilson needs to

1865
01:53:56,240 --> 01:53:58,800
Speaker 2: kind of up and handle this. By the way, his

1866
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:02,840
Speaker 2: target share has now equal DeVante's. He caught up. They

1867
01:54:02,920 --> 01:54:07,560
Speaker 2: both have eight targets. Their success rates not great. But

1868
01:54:08,080 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 2: Mike Williams, I'm somewhat surprised to even suit it up tonight.

1869
01:54:12,439 --> 01:54:14,960
Speaker 2: I know people will be like, why, like why all

1870
01:54:15,040 --> 01:54:18,719
Speaker 2: the play the violin for Mike. Mike's gonna get traded.

1871
01:54:18,760 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 2: I firmly believe that Mike should get traded somewhere else, Yes, a.

1872
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:24,599
Speaker 1: Player and not to play.

1873
01:54:25,600 --> 01:54:28,880
Speaker 2: And all week long it was a very public knowledge

1874
01:54:28,920 --> 01:54:30,799
Speaker 2: that the Jets are working on trading them. I wouldn't

1875
01:54:30,840 --> 01:54:33,000
Speaker 2: be surprised if the executives of these two teams are

1876
01:54:33,080 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 2: upstairs at the stadium talking about it right now. And

1877
01:54:37,640 --> 01:54:41,840
Speaker 2: that makes it very difficult and tricky to get Mike

1878
01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:46,280
Speaker 2: out there because he could suffer an injury, he could

1879
01:54:46,320 --> 01:54:49,080
Speaker 2: play poorly, he could play well. All of these things

1880
01:54:49,840 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 2: sort of move the needle in the conversation and then

1881
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:56,440
Speaker 2: back to the original thing I said with all these receivers,

1882
01:54:56,560 --> 01:55:00,680
Speaker 2: like is your head right? And Mike went out there

1883
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:04,760
Speaker 2: and pretty much watched the entire football game, and then

1884
01:55:05,040 --> 01:55:08,040
Speaker 2: late third quarter, on fourth down, they threw it to him.

1885
01:55:08,800 --> 01:55:10,920
Speaker 3: And young man was ready to go and made the catch.

1886
01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:12,760
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1887
01:55:12,800 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 4: It. Mike's been to the league a long time. I

1888
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:17,360
Speaker 4: think this is what seventh year in the league. It's

1889
01:55:17,400 --> 01:55:19,760
Speaker 4: been a dynamic player. If he can stay healthy, he

1890
01:55:19,880 --> 01:55:22,600
Speaker 4: definitely is a difference maker. I know it was embarrassing

1891
01:55:22,680 --> 01:55:25,360
Speaker 4: for him, being a pro, the consummate pro he's been

1892
01:55:27,200 --> 01:55:29,840
Speaker 4: to be called out like that. But he took some

1893
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:34,840
Speaker 4: time off this week and came back in ready to go,

1894
01:55:35,080 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 4: focused h and he showed up when they needed him.

1895
01:55:39,200 --> 01:55:41,080
Speaker 4: You know, they may not call your number a lot,

1896
01:55:41,200 --> 01:55:43,560
Speaker 4: but when they do, you better be able to answer.

1897
01:55:44,840 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 4: That is the business. That is the business, period, That

1898
01:55:50,440 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 4: is the business.

1899
01:55:51,520 --> 01:55:51,960
Speaker 2: I get it.

1900
01:55:52,360 --> 01:55:55,640
Speaker 4: When you when you the sooner you learn that sooner

1901
01:55:55,720 --> 01:55:58,360
Speaker 4: you'll be able to you know, have the type of

1902
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:00,800
Speaker 4: career start, the type of career did you.

1903
01:56:00,840 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 1: Want to have.

1904
01:56:02,880 --> 01:56:07,240
Speaker 2: I do wonder how the calculus changes from week to week.

1905
01:56:07,320 --> 01:56:11,520
Speaker 2: You said it earlier week to week league and Mike

1906
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 2: ends up playing in this one.

1907
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,800
Speaker 3: Mike makes a contribution in this one.

1908
01:56:16,640 --> 01:56:18,880
Speaker 2: The Steelers, I have no doubt, are still going to

1909
01:56:18,920 --> 01:56:21,480
Speaker 2: be interested in a wide receiver, particularly if they win

1910
01:56:21,560 --> 01:56:23,320
Speaker 2: this game and get to five and two, and right

1911
01:56:23,360 --> 01:56:26,400
Speaker 2: now they're a quarter away from doing that. But with

1912
01:56:26,560 --> 01:56:30,040
Speaker 2: the news coming out of San Francisco, you wonder, you

1913
01:56:30,160 --> 01:56:31,840
Speaker 2: wonder what the forty nine ers are going to want

1914
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,840
Speaker 2: to do, because even if they get Juwan Jennings and

1915
01:56:34,920 --> 01:56:39,960
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel back next week, there is going to be

1916
01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:43,800
Speaker 2: an aspect of what they do that sort of struggles

1917
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:48,080
Speaker 2: because for all their weapons and all their success and

1918
01:56:48,160 --> 01:56:51,280
Speaker 2: all their goals through the last few years, they really

1919
01:56:51,360 --> 01:56:57,800
Speaker 2: don't have a lot of traditional wide receivers. Deebo's not

1920
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:02,120
Speaker 2: and Juwan showed me maybe that he can be, but

1921
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 2: historically he's been more of a third down possession type receiver.

1922
01:57:07,160 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 2: Brandon was their guy. They drafted Ricky Piersoll to do it.

1923
01:57:10,080 --> 01:57:12,280
Speaker 2: He played his first NFL game today. I don't know

1924
01:57:12,320 --> 01:57:15,480
Speaker 2: how much they want to put on his shoulders. It

1925
01:57:15,640 --> 01:57:17,840
Speaker 2: makes you wonder if the forty nine ers, as we

1926
01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:20,240
Speaker 2: approach the trade deadline have joined the market.

1927
01:57:22,040 --> 01:57:23,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they have. I think they have to,

1928
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:29,480
Speaker 4: especially you know, with the early words coming out of

1929
01:57:29,560 --> 01:57:32,320
Speaker 4: that camp in terms of what injury Brandon and I

1930
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 4: you has.

1931
01:57:33,280 --> 01:57:35,520
Speaker 1: You have to be proactive, uh.

1932
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,560
Speaker 4: And you don't want to miss out on someone with

1933
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,160
Speaker 4: the talent of a Mike Williams that can come in

1934
01:57:42,840 --> 01:57:47,640
Speaker 4: and really help that receiving cord that's been depleted. Uh

1935
01:57:47,960 --> 01:57:55,480
Speaker 4: in just a veteran leadership, you know, and uh you know,

1936
01:57:55,840 --> 01:57:59,480
Speaker 4: I'm sure you know Michael want he'll enjoy getting back

1937
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 4: to CALIFORNI.

1938
01:58:00,040 --> 01:58:05,240
Speaker 2: On you uh so predicting that this is gonna happen.

1939
01:58:05,200 --> 01:58:06,800
Speaker 1: I am, I am, because it should happen.

1940
01:58:08,280 --> 01:58:12,280
Speaker 4: It should happen, you know, being the way that receiver

1941
01:58:12,440 --> 01:58:15,720
Speaker 4: room has been decimated for the Niners. You you gotta

1942
01:58:16,920 --> 01:58:18,800
Speaker 4: you know, you want to hold it together. You want

1943
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:22,360
Speaker 4: to have weapons when Christian comes back. You want to

1944
01:58:22,400 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 4: be able to continue to use your entire playbook.

1945
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:30,400
Speaker 1: And uh, you know this is a We've seen some

1946
01:58:30,560 --> 01:58:31,840
Speaker 1: big trades happen.

1947
01:58:31,960 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 4: We normally don't get big trades like this in the NFL,

1948
01:58:38,160 --> 01:58:41,760
Speaker 4: and so you know it's it's I can't wait to

1949
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:43,880
Speaker 4: see George Pickens having a heck of a game. Man,

1950
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:46,360
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I know I know one player who

1951
01:58:46,480 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 4: who who likes Russell Wilson as the quarterback.

1952
01:58:49,760 --> 01:58:51,720
Speaker 2: You took it right out of my mouth. I was

1953
01:58:51,760 --> 01:58:54,440
Speaker 2: gonna say before we go, I got a prediction Rus's

1954
01:58:54,440 --> 01:59:00,960
Speaker 2: gonna start again because Lord Dickens five five catches, buck eleven.

1955
01:59:02,080 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 3: You know, Russ is now up over two hundred and

1956
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:05,040
Speaker 3: thirty yards.

1957
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:09,560
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that George Pickens runs the locker room,

1958
01:59:09,640 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 2: but it helps.

1959
01:59:11,320 --> 01:59:19,400
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, this thing, you know. Hey, man, who's gonna

1960
01:59:19,440 --> 01:59:22,920
Speaker 4: give me the ball? That's what I want. A lot

1961
01:59:23,000 --> 01:59:24,760
Speaker 4: of passes down the field. Man, we didn't see that

1962
01:59:24,800 --> 01:59:26,480
Speaker 4: in the first six weeks of the season.

1963
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 2: Quarter away from being five and two. We'll see if

1964
01:59:29,240 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 2: they get there. All right, man, great stuff tonight, great show, brother. Okay,

1965
01:59:32,800 --> 01:59:35,320
Speaker 2: we'll do it again next week, that's for sure. Plankets Van,

1966
01:59:35,440 --> 01:59:37,600
Speaker 2: you're calming up next on Fox Sports Radio
