00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 2: a game and a team that moves all to the

9
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: semifinals cause Captain quack our Man has gotta be over

10
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: the moon. Jeff Schwartz, Good morning, mister Oregon duck.

11
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 3: Good morning, Good morning. How are you doing today, buddy,

12
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 3: glad to be here. It's it's a man, I tell you.

13
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 3: But halftime of the game. My wife and family is

14
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 3: at the beach right now, halftime of the Oregon game.

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: I called them on FaceTime just to say hi, just

16
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 3: to pretend I was alive, because I didn't, you know,

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: I wanted to make sure they knew I was alive still,

18
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 3: And my wife is like, why are you breathing so heavily?

19
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 3: I'm like, I'm watching football, okay, leave me alone, all right,

20
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: leave me alone. And the reason why is you know,

21
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: I thought this year for Oregon was a successful season

22
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:35,120
Speaker 3: if we went eleven and one and we won a

23
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: playoff game. Now, the first playoff game was against James Madison.

24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 3: That to me, like, you know, sorry, JMU, that's the

25
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: game we should win, and we won. Right, this was

26
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 3: the game I thought we had to win for where

27
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 3: our program wants to be. Right, You're in year four. Now,

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: every single season we've we've gone better, and we'll be

29
00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:53,640
Speaker 3: better next year.

30
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: Our team.

31
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 3: I think we'll return most of the players on our team,

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: including the quarterback. And this was supposed to be. I

33
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 3: thought what we did this year was he made a

34
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 3: semi final that was the best case scenario for our team,

35
00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: and we had to beat Texas Tech and we did. Now,

36
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 3: no excuses for how games are won in the playoffs, man,

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: And this is something comfortable offens to have to get

38
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 3: used to, because this is a very NFL fought right,

39
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: where like, who cares, it doesn't matter, win your playoff

40
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 3: game and move on to the next game. And every

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 3: game is its own individual game, right. What happened on

42
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 3: Texas Tech does not matter against Indiana. What indeed did

43
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 3: Alabama does not matter for this game each individual game

44
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 3: is its own game, it's its own weekend, and I'm

45
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 3: glad Oregon won. It wasn't great on offense, but it's

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,920
Speaker 3: really good on defense and really good on special teams.

47
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 3: And this is what I thought we had to do

48
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 3: for this season, and then next year will be its

49
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 3: own season. But obviously we'll just be much older, one

50
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 3: year older and one year better. Dude, on the telecast,

51
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: I mentioned we have twenty four touchdowns on offense by

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: true freshmen. The best player, the defensive player of the

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 3: game was a true freshman who had two interceptions.

54
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 2: The Phonewar Dowd. Yeah, gonna be fine.

55
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: So that's where I thought we had to be, and

56
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: so that's why I was so I was so nervous, anxious, excited,

57
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 3: like whatever you want to do is like we just

58
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: we had to win that game for our program.

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: And every year we've gone one game better.

60
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: Where year one for Dan Landing was a holiday bol win,

61
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: Year two was a championship loss in the PAC twelve,

62
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 3: Year three was a Big ten championship and obviously a

63
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 3: one playoff loss, and this year was you know another

64
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: you know, two playoff wins.

65
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: Essentially, So.

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 3: In uh Man I'm excited. I'm excited, and it feels

67
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 3: now like almost like a free role man, like this

68
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: where I thought we was the max for our team

69
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 3: and I'll get a chance to go to the championship.

70
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 3: What I find most fun about this playoff is this

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 3: is what we were told can never happen with NIL

72
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 3: on the portal. Right, the NI owned portal was gonna

73
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 3: make it so that it was Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia

74
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 3: every year. Right, only the best would survive, the richest

75
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 3: would survive, the guys who pay the most money would survive.

76
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: And the opposite has happened.

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 3: It has made parody at the top become a real thing,

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 3: has made it to where Daniel Jeremiah tweeted out that

79
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,679
Speaker 3: the defensive lines for Texas Tech, Oregon, Miami are better

80
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: than the ones Alabama and Georgia, which is true, which

81
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 3: it never happened, never happened, and we have an Indiana

82
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 3: team in the semi finals. That Look, I'm not a

83
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: historian for all sports, and definitely pro sports are different

84
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 3: than college sports, but ain't nothing like it in football history, man.

85
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: And then on the college side, for so many years,

86
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 3: the team with the most NFL players for lack of

87
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 3: a better way to say it, has been in the

88
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: position to win a championship, right, and the team that

89
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,520
Speaker 3: has the best players For the last twenty five years,

90
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,719
Speaker 3: the blue chip ratio right has been a team that's

91
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 3: has won the championship, and Indiana breaks all of those molds.

92
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 2: They have.

93
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: One first round pick and Francisco Mendoza, who probably would

94
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,559
Speaker 3: not be the first book overall, was in most draft class.

95
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: It's not gonna be great higher than it's not a

96
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 3: great haigh than a lot of these guys. They have

97
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 3: some pros, right, like their wide receivers going in the NFL, right, Yeah,

98
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: their centers going in the NFL, some of their defensive

99
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 3: linemen going the NFL. But like notun till day three,

100
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 3: like like they and and then and they just freaking

101
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 3: steamroll people, man, Yeah, hey, steamroll people in Indiana. Story

102
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 3: is about physicality. It's a it's a very Patriots system.

103
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 3: It's do your job right. They are coached well, they

104
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 3: are fundabally sound.

105
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's where you have to I mean, Sinnetti.

106
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 2: It's this amazing story. It's it's increased. They all they

107
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 2: all sell like them too.

108
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 3: Mendoza's a little corny, but yeah, he didn't sound quite

109
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 3: like coach, but the rest of them do is incredible,

110
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: Like like if you have a like a perfectly pr

111
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 3: like cor Yeah, it's like, but there's something.

Speaker 2: Genuine about the kids. The kid's genuine. Man, I I'm

00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,599
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousin. Nah, I'm a little I get what you're saying,

Speaker 2: think the kid. I'm just having this. I was just

117
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: having this conversation with Buddy mine because he said the

118
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: same thing, like, you know, oh my god.

119
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 3: I don't think it's I don't think it's fake, by

120
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 3: the way.

121
00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: I think, well that's my point. I think it's genuine

122
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 2: and it's genuine and it's beautiful, man Like you know

123
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 2: the kids, the kids, you know, the mother, the family,

124
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 2: like it's it's they're a great story. Indi enda is great.

125
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 2: I mean, Signetti himself is an amazing story. He didn't smile.

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: They talked about the broadcast about you know how his

127
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: face he gets meaner as the lead gets bigger. He

128
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 2: he's a terrific coach, just.

129
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 3: As it's so funny that like everyone's been trying to

130
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: hire saving guys and it feels like they finally got

131
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 3: one who they didn't think was going to be the

132
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 3: saving guy, you know. But yeah, yeah, it's it's it's

133
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 3: you know, Oregon played them once already this season, obviously,

134
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: and it was a game that was close and Indiana

135
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,360
Speaker 3: pulling out in the end. Indiana's played close games. They

136
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: won in Iowa, the last one of the last players

137
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: of the game, they won at Penn State, last play

138
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: of the game.

139
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: They beat Ohio State by three, and they they're they're

140
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 2: Beata ball.

141
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 3: But you have to play the best game of your

142
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 3: playoff season to beat them, right right, it has to

143
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,800
Speaker 3: say where you have to play the best game ever.

144
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 3: Because the other thing about Indiana that is, I think

145
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: starting to be a real trend in college football. And

146
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: it's why Oregon, i think, is trying to bring all

147
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 3: their guys back.

148
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 2: Okay, is they.

149
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 3: Are an old team. Indiana is old. Their offense starts

150
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 3: every player there's let's say here, they're they're they're their

151
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: top thirteen players on offense. That includes you know, a

152
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 3: couple of tight ends, right, a couple of running backs,

153
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 3: twelve of thirteen or in year four or later. So

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: they're an older group.

155
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 2: Right.

156
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: Defensively, guys are in year five four four two two four, four, three, four,

157
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: three six. It is an older team. The twenty twenty

158
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: three Michigan team was an older champion. Ohio State last

159
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 3: year was an older champion.

160
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 2: I think we're.

161
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 3: Finding out that because of because of NIL, players get

162
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: to stay longer and how important that is, right, and

163
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 3: we're seeing that a team like Indiana that again they

164
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 3: don't have as much pro talent as Oregon, right they don't,

165
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: but their style of play there, the maturity, their physicality,

166
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 3: they're the way they're coached.

167
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: Dude, we just you know, before this, before we go

168
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 2: on air, I do an hour with buddy of mine,

169
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: who's the AD at Penchroter High School in Philadelphia, and

170
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: he had built this program, Saint Joe's Prep, into a powerhouse.

171
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,359
Speaker 2: And the whole topic today because the portal's open yesterday,

172
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: is that is the old is everybody wanting to be older,

173
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 2: and how that leaves a huge hole for kids come

174
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 2: out of high school and it creates this whole system

175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 2: of nobody stays like you just go from rung to

176
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 2: rung to rung and it does take away. Like I

177
00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: listen to you each week talking about Oregon football, and

178
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you, it's actually I find the

179
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 2: beauty in it. I mean sometimes you sound like you're

180
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: in a cult. But and I say that lovingly, but

181
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: it's it's a beautiful thing, Like it's real, like you

182
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 2: watch your alma mater, like you know that the most

183
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: art fan would watch their NFL team like it's a

184
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 2: blood passion that you have, and that's beautiful. The issue

185
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: is like are we not We're not fostering it, Like

186
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't know that players that come out now they're

187
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: gonna be at three or four schools. Yeah. It it's

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 2: really kind of nuts. I think that.

189
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 3: I I was on record as opposed to open transfer

190
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 3: portal when I was doing my show on my PAC

191
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 3: twelve show. When it started happening, I said, I just

192
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:00,680
Speaker 3: I think we're gonna end up. My Coho said no,

193
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: only like the backups will transfer, like like he was

194
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 3: a walk on at Utahni transferred that we were stays.

195
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 3: Like the guy's like like nobody it's gonna be full

196
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: free agency and it is. And I still think there

197
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: need to be limits put in place. I think one

198
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 3: transfer is probably about right. If you want to transfer

199
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: a second time, you need to sit out of here,

200
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 3: which used to be the old rule, right, because it's

201
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: it like that. I know people people don't like this argument,

202
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,920
Speaker 3: but it is what it is. I think there's value

203
00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: in sticking it out. You know, there's value in in

204
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 3: fighting through some hard times and not just escaping the

205
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 3: first chance you have. Now I understand if you're getting paid.

206
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: You know, there's talk now that you know Soresby that

207
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati quarterback is you get five million dollars.

208
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 2: Right.

209
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: I think this is first time transferring, so that would

210
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 3: fit under you know, for me, that would fit under

211
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 3: like what I think is reasonable. Right, But there are

212
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 3: guys that transfer four times because they're Look, the thing is,

213
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:02,199
Speaker 3: the grass is not always greener, man, It's just not you.

214
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: You know, you.

215
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 3: Go somewhere thinking you're you're gonna play, and they play

216
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: the guy the day that they recruited instead. You know,

217
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 3: you go somewhere and the fit's not great. You go

218
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 3: somewhere and you know you don't like the city because

219
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: you're just you're a mercenary. You know, you become a

220
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: mercenary and.

221
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: So right, well, you've never become part of the community

222
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 2: of correct And it's it's funny because.

223
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 3: In in the game the other day for Oregon, like

224
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 3: some of the best players in the game were guys

225
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 3: that were that were recruited.

226
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: And brought in and not the portal players.

227
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: You know, like you still need the backbone of your

228
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 3: roster to be to be recruited playing. This is why,

229
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 3: Like this is so we talk about sort of who

230
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 3: needs this championship the most right oldness Oregon, Indiana and Miami.

231
00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 3: It's Indiana. This is this is not gonna happen again.

232
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 3: There recruiting rankings, they're ninth in the Big in the

233
00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 3: Big ten, like you're just you' You can't sustain a

234
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 3: program at this level unless you recruit high school players

235
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 3: at a high level. It's just it's impossible. And this

236
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 3: is just an incredible story. He brought in the GMU guys.

237
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 3: They've been the backbone of that team. It's it's just

238
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,960
Speaker 3: not gonna happen again. Like this has to be the

239
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 3: year Indiana does it in you know, Texas Tech, who

240
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 3: organ played I think learned that lesson yesterday and they're

241
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: doing better job of high school recruiting, but like, you

242
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: can only bring in a certain number of guys in

243
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: the portal that make your team that much better. Right,

244
00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 3: Like they did on defense. Their defense is incredible, but

245
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 3: they really did an offense it kind of cost them, right, Like,

246
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 3: you have to develop players, in my opinion, still at

247
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: a high level out of high school recruiting, and then

248
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: you can backfill some positions, which organ has done.

249
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: Anything perfectly do I But I don't think it's gonna

250
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: play out anyway. I think they're still looking at kids

251
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: that they still want to be older because they they

252
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 2: look at their own line and you want men. I

253
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: mean kids are going to mature.

254
00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: But you know this, man, the old line is like

255
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,359
Speaker 3: the worst position to portal and you can't like that's

256
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 3: the hardest mission, Like the I think offensive line is

257
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 3: actually the one is off of the defensive line is

258
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 3: probably the two positions where you actually have to put

259
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 3: the most emphasis in my opinion, in high school recruiting

260
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 3: and growing those guys out. You know you can do

261
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,439
Speaker 3: a get a David Bailey and Romelo height, but how

262
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 3: often is that gonna happen when you get just have

263
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 3: a year when you get the best two pass rushers

264
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: in the portal, like it's it's not gonna happen very often.

265
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, but here's the issue though, And you notice better

266
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: than anybody you want your O line D line to

267
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: be older.

268
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, that's why. It's why.

269
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 2: So you're gonna have to go and you're gonna have

270
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 2: to develop them. But in high school, when you get

271
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 2: your high school kids, just just a maturity level from

272
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 2: eighteen to twenty well works against you.

273
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 3: But but this is why, this is why in year four,

274
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 3: and we don't give anyone patience, Year four, Maya Crystal

275
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: Ball and Dan Lanning are here because they spent time

276
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 3: building the trenches up and it takes four years to

277
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 3: do that. And they were given the opportunity because they

278
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 3: won enough games to keep their jobs and see that through.

279
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: And yeah, they started the change of the landscape. Start

280
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 2: like they were doing this before, the change in the landscape.

281
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,400
Speaker 3: But you're right, like they're coaches, they're not gonna change

282
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,000
Speaker 3: that though, because the landscape like they're gonna continue to.

283
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, because they they've built up their equity right like

284
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: they you know, like you know how good they are,

285
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: so you know you're you're not you're gonna they're gonna

286
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: have car plants to run it their way. Every other

287
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 2: coach that's not a you know, that top level coach

288
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,480
Speaker 2: that doesn't have security is going to feel the need

289
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: to go through the portal and build its trenches that way.

290
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: Right, No, right, but I think I think that's a

291
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 3: that's a base to start your program with, but you

292
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 3: have to trans in the US is a good example

293
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: this right, USC went's so portal heavy to start, and

294
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 3: then look at Roley was like, uh yeah, we got

295
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 3: to go back to high school recruited, like you can do.

296
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: You have to do both, right, You have to get

297
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 3: some start your program, go portal. Fine, but he's going

298
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: to year five and they have no rebuild happening on

299
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 3: the trenches because they haven't even tried, right, All their

300
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 3: guys are like freshmen now.

301
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: And so I think you do both.

302
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 3: You have to portal's fine, but then you have to

303
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 3: transition to where the majority of those guys in the trenches,

304
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 3: in my opinion, are guys that you have brought in

305
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 3: yourself and developed over three or four years. And that's

306
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: what your team looks like in the year four, five,

307
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 3: and six. It's a couple portal players here and there,

308
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: but primarily guys you've developed and that's the winning formula

309
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 3: for success. And my not everyone can do it, to

310
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 3: be fair like, that's that's a you know.

311
00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,120
Speaker 2: Mario well because the other thing is you got to

312
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: get kids to stay well because right, but they stay

313
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 2: because they buy in into.

314
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 3: The idea that they're gonna get a chance to play it.

315
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 3: And this is why I look, man, you know these kids.

316
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna get lucky to get these kids to stay now.

317
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know, they seem to. They want

318
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 3: to organisms to make it work. It just started the ale.

319
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: These things new. Yeah, but here's the deal is that

320
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: if you commit to a school only for the money,

321
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: you're never gonna be happy.

322
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 2: You You, I agree, I like, don't say don't take

323
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 2: it as though I disagree with the notion of it.

324
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 2: But this phenomenon is brand new. I mean, and there's

325
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 2: four thousand kids in the portal. I mean, this is

326
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 2: your this would be the fourth it's not this year

327
00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: is not like it was four years ago. It's not

328
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:57,160
Speaker 2: there's four thousand kids in the in the portal. Four thousand. Yeah,

329
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 2: that's ridiculous. And then there shouldn't be four thousand.

330
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 3: But my one is that these top programs are doing

331
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 3: it in the way that that is gonna win because

332
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 3: they're prioritizing high school recrrideala trenches like look, Miami organ

333
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 3: here to stay again Indiana.

334
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 2: I don't know.

335
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 3: I think this is why India has to win this year,

336
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: like they're not gonna get back here in my opinion

337
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 3: after this run of what they have.

338
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with that. I but I will say this,

339
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. It is so wild that I think

340
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:39,440
Speaker 2: it's impossible to say four case anything and it's wacky

341
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 2: scenario again. Four thousand kids, thirty three new coaches, go

342
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,959
Speaker 2: make sense to that? Where the fellas. We're just getting

365
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 2: games though for a second, and what it looks like

366
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 2: in the Final four one relived for a second. It's halftime.

367
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 2: Oregon is dominated the football game, but it's only up

368
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 2: six to nothing. Right away, I thought back to uh Miami,

369
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 2: when Miami was being out playing up until the fourth

370
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 2: quarter in the quarterfinal game.

371
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I didn't feel great, that's what you're asking me. Yeah,

372
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I mean, I just look, you

373
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 3: just can't we I think we had like six trips

374
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,399
Speaker 3: inside the three and scored six points like it was.

375
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 2: It wasn't it wasn't great. Look.

376
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't watched all the offensive film because

377
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 3: I wanted to save that for one just it's just

378
00:20:59,119 --> 00:20:59,880
Speaker 3: atrocious film.

379
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 2: Watch. I think that.

380
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 3: It was just it was just sloppy on offense man

381
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 3: and he looked to be fair test of text defenses

382
00:21:09,320 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 3: incredibly mean that defense.

383
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's great Bailey. I know a lot of.

384
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 3: Attentions on a Ruby Bay and he totally deserves it.

385
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: I think Bailey's better. I think Bailey is number thirty

386
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,640
Speaker 3: one tech. I mean, no gloves, no tape, right, an

387
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 3: old school guy pass rusher. He's much twitter than Ruby

388
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,400
Speaker 3: bain Is. Height is incredible. Their interior guys are better

389
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 3: than I thought that they are. The one thing that

390
00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,960
Speaker 3: I the thing I questioned about the sloppiness and offense

391
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 3: because we had to play so, you know, we get

392
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,880
Speaker 3: the ball back with thirty seconds left in the first half.

393
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 3: I thought we'd take a knee, and we didn't. We

394
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 3: threw the ball and we're moving down the field like

395
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 3: we were at field goal range, and then our center

396
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 3: just rolled the snap back there like not not like

397
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 3: he hit he stepped it high left and right, just didn't.

398
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: Get the ball off the ground.

399
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 3: We have these problems all season, right, we fumbled in

400
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 3: exchange on a play actual pa, It's like more just

401
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,719
Speaker 3: did clear the running back enough and the ball hit

402
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: the running back as he pulled it out, just like

403
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 3: stuff like that. That was odd, right. I do wonder

404
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: if the body clock was an issue because the game

405
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 3: was a nine am Pacific game bodyclock for Oregon, and

406
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:19,959
Speaker 3: they did play less slopping in the second half on offense,

407
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: just like mental mistakes, those type of plays went away.

408
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: But yeah, I mean it was It's not a good

409
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 3: feeling to play that well and only be up six nothing.

410
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 3: I didn't think we pitched a shutout. I mean Texas

411
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 3: deck had one drive inside inside, uh the red zone

412
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: and ended up with interceptions. So I just knew if

413
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,720
Speaker 3: we've stayed with it, and they did, and then the

414
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 3: you know, the interception forced fumble by Mateo kind of

415
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,640
Speaker 3: turned the game and we got thirteen nothing. I felt

416
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 3: pretty good that they were working to score twice on us,

417
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 3: and we just kept going, just grinding away a thousand

418
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,440
Speaker 3: cuts men, right, just keep keep pushing, keep grinding, and look,

419
00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 3: I said this earlier, there are no excuses for for

420
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 3: playoff wins. So we're gonna talk about the NFL here

421
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 3: in a few minutes, and we never we never talk

422
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 3: about that with the NFL, Like we're gonna have to

423
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: transition a little bit to talking about college football. Unfortunately,

424
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 3: people aren't gonna like this like the NFL, where playoff

425
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: games don't matter, how you win them, doesn't matter at all.

426
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 3: We were a way to walk about style points of

427
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 3: college football. Style points are done, in my opinion, for

428
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 3: playoff caliber teams in the regular season. Your job in

429
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 3: the regular season is to get yourself healthy and win

430
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 3: enough games to make the playoffs. Doesn't matter how you

431
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: do it. In my opinion, for the most four teams

432
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:37,800
Speaker 3: like Georgia in Alabama on Miami and Oregon, like just

433
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 3: getting get there. Just get there, right, And that's the

434
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 3: way those teams played this season. Also, like if we're

435
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 3: talking about playoff teams in the NFL, we rarely say

436
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 3: to ourselves, hey, man, can you they lost that team

437
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 3: in October? We never say that, But for Miami it's like,

438
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 3: I can't because they lost to Louisville in October. You're like,

439
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: that's not okay, but that was October. It's now January,

440
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: Like it doesn't, so I think we have to recalibrate.

441
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 3: They think about college football now, you have to win

442
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 3: enough games to get into the dance, right, so you

443
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,119
Speaker 3: can't lose to Louisville three times. But the fact is,

444
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 3: like we looked at Miami as one of the best

445
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 3: things in the country after about week four or five,

446
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 3: like they were two I think behind Ohio State. They

447
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 3: lost to Louisville. Yeah, not not great, right, I mean right,

448
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: it's not not great. Lost SMU who ended up being

449
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: a pretty good team this season, right, I think nine

450
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 3: to win team after the Bowl win last night, But

451
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 3: then they spent five weeks playing really good football and

452
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 3: then beat A and M and now beat Ohio State.

453
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 3: Like it's a legitiately good team. And we have to

454
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 3: stop this idea that a team is finalized in October.

455
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,680
Speaker 3: It's actually Look, we've said a whole secon about the

456
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 3: portal right when you Miami is not really in this boat,

457
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 3: per se. But Carson Beck is a portal guy. Like

458
00:24:56,920 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: it like when you have portal guys, takes a little

459
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,479
Speaker 3: bit of time to get things going in the right direction.

460
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: They figured it out.

461
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 3: They rely a lot on their defense now that they

462
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 3: don't make Carson Beck do a ton right doesn't have

463
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,240
Speaker 3: to because the defense is so good. And dude, they're like,

464
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna be at all to miss and

465
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna be playing a home championship game because it's

466
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 3: it's in Miami.

467
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 2: Wow. Could you imagine we'd have a home college football

468
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 2: champion at championship game and the possibly a home NFL

469
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 2: championship at Super Bowl Crazy?

470
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: Uh, just just kind of walked out in this given

471
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 3: year for Miami. I had to host, the host, the

472
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:35,439
Speaker 3: host that game. It's gonna be honest with you.

473
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 2: I'm shocked. I'm still shocked. I'm shocking. Yeah, I mean

474
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 2: then we talked about it. I thought the ten points

475
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 2: was way too many, and I thought that Miami could

476
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 2: do this right. I didn't think they would.

477
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 3: I thought that they were talented enough to make this

478
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 3: a really tight game for Ohio State.

479
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 2: But I also think that as far as Ohio State,

480
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: you know.

481
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 3: They if I if I tell you this, okay, if

482
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 3: I tell you this, they their team won a championship

483
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 3: last season, they lost I think nearly their entire defensive

484
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 3: line right to the NFL. They lost their quarterback to

485
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 3: the NFL. They lost two first round offensive linemens to

486
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 3: the NFL. You would tell me that team would not

487
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 3: be as good this season. Yeah, and they're not as

488
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 3: good this season. But because of their schedule, you don't

489
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 3: really play anybody they're able to lose, you know, to

490
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: just kind of run through the schedule without having been

491
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: tested in the way they have to be tested to

492
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: win pay off years.

493
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, that's true, it is. I still I give

494
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: it up to Miami because I was not a believer.

495
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 2: I was not a believer in their offense. And you know,

496
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 2: it's amazing, like they win that game because they ground it,

497
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 2: they grind it out on the ground. Now, I have

498
00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 2: to ask you, because what we've seen a trend that

499
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: these teams that have a bye have that that have

500
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 2: that long layoff struggle mightily the first half. Man, Like,

501
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:14,439
Speaker 2: that's another thing they think to fix. Fix because the

502
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 2: buy stuff is a negative. Now.

503
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,320
Speaker 3: So even Indiana, who won the game thirty eight to three,

504
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 3: I had zero first quarter points.

505
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 2: I know.

506
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 3: It's it's not it's not a buy in the NFL

507
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: is one week like the Broncos and and and whoever

508
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: wins that.

509
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:33,159
Speaker 2: You know, the West.

510
00:27:33,640 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: Right at the game tonight, they're gonna have one week off.

511
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 3: These guys had nearly a month off. Like, it's not

512
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 3: the same thing. It's way too much. And leading up

513
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:46,000
Speaker 3: to the Organ game, obviously follow them closest. I hear

514
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 3: what they say. Their coaches and players were like thrilled

515
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 3: to have the schedule unlike last year. Like they were like,

516
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 3: this is such a refreshing, like a normal schedule for us, right,

517
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 3: and yeah, and and I look, I also believe this.

518
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 3: I think when you have a month off, you spend

519
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 3: way too much time preparing and you over prepare. I

520
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 3: think that I would much rather play a team in

521
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,040
Speaker 3: like look again, I'll go back to you know, you

522
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,919
Speaker 3: Organ players, but I follow them. You know, there's an

523
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: article that came out the day before the game where

524
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 3: they said last year they were over prepared to play

525
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 3: Ohio State. He said, they said, we spent way too

526
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 3: many hours watching Ohio State. We spent way too many

527
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: hours obsessing over Ohio State instead of just worrying about

528
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 3: what we have to do to get better. And this

529
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 3: year Organ worrying more about themselves and less about the opponent.

530
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 3: Until they had to write till game week, like spend

531
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 3: an actual game, you can.

532
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 2: If you can't game plan for a team in one

533
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,640
Speaker 2: week during the regular season, you can do the same

534
00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 2: in the postseason. You have to say that.

535
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:49,760
Speaker 3: I've been a situation with like bowls where I felt

536
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:52,360
Speaker 3: like our coaches were just over prepared us for bowl

537
00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: games because you spend a month preparing for a bowl game,

538
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: and and that is I think a huge part of it.

539
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 3: It's a process. By now, it's like it's too too

540
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 3: much time. You're spending too much time preparing for these

541
00:29:02,560 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 3: games that you just you put too much offense in,

542
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 3: you put too much defense in, and you're just not

543
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 3: as christm as you need to be. So I think

544
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 3: that's a huge part mentally, not physically as much mentally,

545
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,680
Speaker 3: you're just you got too much offense and too much

546
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 3: defense in, Like you spend too much time preparing.

547
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the rust factor is real early on. It

548
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 2: certainly is.

549
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 3: I think in the trenches and tackling, even though Texas

550
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 3: techle wasn't problem for them, because that was dude, I'm

551
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,040
Speaker 3: telling you man, that defense, buddy.

552
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 2: I not only do.

553
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,480
Speaker 3: They rush the passer, well, they didn't miss one freaking

554
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:41,000
Speaker 3: tackle the whole game.

555
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: Now, it was they were it was. It was remarkable watching. Yeah,

556
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: but I think it hurts offenses way more than defenses.

557
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 3: Interesting, okay, just because you can't get it going.

558
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean we see it all the

559
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 2: time during like like a longer layoff, like that stuff

560
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,520
Speaker 2: you're you're timing is everything false starts, I mean cheese.

561
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 2: It was rampant.

562
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 3: And you saw Indiana too, and Sinneti talked about this

563
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: after the game, Like Alabama came out with some different

564
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: pressures early on they were sort of these are the

565
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 3: first couple of drives. Indiana was sort of just throttled

566
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,480
Speaker 3: down a little bit, man, scramble and make enough places

567
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:21,240
Speaker 3: and then eventually you know he they figured it out

568
00:30:21,240 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 3: and they were going to go. I mean, look, it's

569
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 3: impressive the Indiana, despite again of having that break, was

570
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 3: able to play through that.

571
00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that affected Georgia very much. I'm Georgia's defense.

572
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 2: I thought they were better. Man.

573
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: I'm kind of stunned. I went to bed at halftime.

574
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I was exhausted. I was stunned

575
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 3: at the end result. I couldn't believe they lost that

576
00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: game because Ole miss is not better than that, And

577
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 3: of course it's that's not really what it's about sometimes, dude,

578
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 3: it was stunning to me, absolutely stunned.

579
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it was.

580
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,080
Speaker 3: But their defense isn't that good. It had gotten better

581
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 3: though they can't rush the passer.

582
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 2: Team line, their interior defensive tackles where they lived right,

583
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 2: Like we just talked about it, man, Like those teams

584
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 2: Alabama Georgia defronts were always the value one who's the

585
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 2: actor of the defense. And Georgia lost a lot of teeth. Listen,

586
00:31:24,040 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 2: I watch these kids every week in the NFL with

587
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,920
Speaker 2: the Eagles, right, they don't have that level of talent,

588
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,120
Speaker 2: not even close. And Alabama is sure as hell doesn't.

589
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:41,800
Speaker 3: No and so no it and and trigger on shambles

590
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: is an incredible game. I mean, Georgia made some strategy errors.

591
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 3: One thing that I think that I don't I know,

592
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:49,719
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't like. So there are there are

593
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 3: times were going for a fourth down as silly, right,

594
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 3: and that's certainly worth debating when those times are. But

595
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: I think sometimes that we don't hold the players accountable

596
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 3: for making mistakes as much. Georgia called the fourth down

597
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: play down three the left tackle just didn't block the

598
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 3: defensive end. Body they did two guys open, wide open,

599
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: Yeah like they Yeah, Okay, it didn't work. But is

600
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: that because or should they not call the player? They

601
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 3: didn't trust the aft tackle to block the defensive end.

602
00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 3: That's his job, blocked the defensive end. I like that

603
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,240
Speaker 3: to me, Like, I get it. I get you want

604
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,640
Speaker 3: to be angry. It curb me for that, But the

605
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:31,040
Speaker 3: guys were open. Players have to make plays. And if

606
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 3: you want to argue that you shouldn't go for because

607
00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 3: you don't trust them and make plays. I mean, I

608
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 3: guess fine, you can make the argument, but the fact is,

609
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 3: like they just didn't. Georgia just didn't execute. They had

610
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 3: guys open and the offense I just didn't block the

611
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 3: right guys. Now I can argue that running the team

612
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,240
Speaker 3: the offense late on the field like they did, I

613
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 3: think it's kind of silly.

614
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: I don't know why college.

615
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 3: Coaches try this like this, like trick them stuff, like

616
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 3: just just get on the ball, man, like you're not

617
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 3: fooling anyone, Like you out the pot. And so for

618
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 3: those who to Kirby Smart had to punt team on

619
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:03,959
Speaker 3: then ran the offense on late and they kind of

620
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: hurry to who cares.

621
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 2: Just get the offense, just like you know what you're

622
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 2: going for.

623
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:12,760
Speaker 3: Two things I hate that that the coach is doing

624
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 3: these situations. One is that right and the other one

625
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 3: is like, hurry up to the line of scrimmas, run

626
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 3: inside zone. Yeah, like just take your time, it's important situation.

627
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,040
Speaker 2: What do you what do you? What do you like?

628
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 3: They know you're going for it like they're honestly, just

629
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 3: take your time, get the right play in, do the

630
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: right thing. I'd rather spend the time to make sure

631
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,640
Speaker 3: it's right then do it fast but wrong, like I know,

632
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,080
Speaker 3: like and coaches make this all the time, and Kirby

633
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 3: just I'm shocked to make the mistake. What's crazy is

634
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 3: Pete Golding Now the old miss coach has has like

635
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: the third most playoff wins of SEC coach right now

636
00:33:53,080 --> 00:33:56,040
Speaker 3: active SC coach. It's crazy, which is which is crazy?

637
00:33:56,280 --> 00:34:01,480
Speaker 3: That situation, by the way, is on parallel the game.

638
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: We keep using this word oldness has six coaches I

639
00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: believe that are on the LSU staff for Lane Kiffin,

640
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:12,880
Speaker 3: and they coached the first playoff game. This is the

641
00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 3: first two playoff games. There was a port that came

642
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:20,799
Speaker 3: out that said that LSU might recall that essentially back

643
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 3: to campus.

644
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,279

00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:32,319
Speaker 2: be That would be criminal, man, absolutely criminal. You can't

671
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:14,000
Speaker 3: has there been a situation where we've had a better

672
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 3: what's the best way to put it, Like Mario Cristo

673
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 3: Ball left Orgon for Miami and then Dan Lanning came

674
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 3: in and we had a better like switcheroo and collegeable

675
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 3: history where like both sides are extremely happy with the results.

676
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:30,920
Speaker 3: Where like, yeah, it's pretty rare, Like Mario went to

677
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: his alma mater, which I never I did fault him

678
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:34,879
Speaker 3: at all for doing that. I mean that's his alma mater.

679
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,160
Speaker 3: And then we got Dan Lanning and they're both in

680
00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:40,000
Speaker 3: they one get away from playing each other. Yeah, it's

681
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 3: great this championship game. That would be the obviously that

682
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: would be what I would prefer, but that would be

683
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: my podcast host on Barabet's Chris Felicia went to Miami,

684
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: and that would be about it as dream scenario as

685
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 3: we could have Oregon Miami for the championship. Should I

686
00:36:54,920 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 3: go to the Indiana game? I need to ask you

687
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: that question. It's in Atlantic could drive. I will miss

688
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:01,560

00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 3: three last time, so that was less fun.

697
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: Now the fact that they're playing this close to you,

698
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:26,520

730
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:47,959
Speaker 3: every time Ole Miss wins a player.

731
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:52,399
Speaker 2: I know it's in the bonus. I saw it. It's crazy.

732
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: I know. I'm you know, Lane's got loved Bonnie, So

733
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,279

734
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 3: That's thing about it too. Like he has enough money obviously,

735
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,800
Speaker 3: and he still put in his contract. Then he gets

736
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:06,239
Speaker 3: paid if Old Miss wins playoffins from not from Old

737
00:39:06,239 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 3: Miss from LSU.

738
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:11,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. A great agent. Well, you have a

739
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 2: great agent, right, probably, I'm not sure who he is,

740
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 2: but that's why you have it. That's why you have

741
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 2: great agents.

742
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: I actually get paid every time I mentioned Organ on

743
00:39:20,600 --> 00:39:26,759
Speaker 3: the show. So that's what Scott, uh I you you

744
00:39:26,840 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 3: seem to think that Miami is uh.

745
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to say easy winner, but I thought

746
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:36,920
Speaker 2: Georgia would have been easy too. So what do I know? Yeah?

747
00:39:37,080 --> 00:39:40,279
Speaker 2: What do you? Well? I think I think I think

748
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:41,040
Speaker 2: it's a game, bro.

749
00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:48,279
Speaker 3: So my my early thought is that I I don't think.

750
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,200
Speaker 2: The the Old.

751
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 3: Miss offense can play as well against a really good defense.

752
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 3: It's just not It's one of those offenses that I

753
00:39:56,080 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 3: don't I think it's just not great against some Myami defense.

754
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: An think Miami's gonna run the ball for twenty yards.

755
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 3: It's all miss. Yeah, Well, Georgia didn't run the ball

756
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: for twenty yards. Georgia's not Miami's offensive line.

757
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,600
Speaker 2: I don't know. Uh, we gotta We're up against it.

764
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:53,799

Speaker 2: the final week of the NFL. Well, I want to

767
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:04,400

768
00:41:04,440 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 2: probably the best week eighteen in a long time. Today

769
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:15,840
Speaker 2: the doubleheader, both games matter, Panthers Buccaneers. Now there is

770
00:41:15,880 --> 00:41:19,120
Speaker 2: a chance that even if Tampa wins, they could be out.

771
00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 2: But it's Panthers Buccaneers with a likely chance to win

772
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 2: the division. And then it's Seattle San Francisco for the

773
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:34,600
Speaker 2: one seed in the NFC tomorrow and all the early games,

774
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: then you have the late games and it culminates with

775
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 2: Ravens and Steelers for the AFC North. So lots at stake, Jeff.

776
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,240
Speaker 2: It's probably the best week eighteen in a long time,

777
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 2: it is.

778
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: And so looking forward obviously to the action and I

779
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 3: think it's you are as well. So that's with today

780
00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 3: with an interesting game between the Panthers and Bucks. As

781
00:41:56,520 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 3: you mentioned, if the Falcons win the Saints and the

782
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: Bucks win today, there'll be a three way tie at

783
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,840
Speaker 3: eight and nine in the division, which triggers a tiebreaker

784
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 3: for the Panthers. So the Panthers could lose today, Tim

785
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680
Speaker 3: Bay could celebrate and then lose the division. So that

786
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,719
Speaker 3: is something to watch for today. But yeah, look, these

787
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,120
Speaker 3: games are gonna matter. It's a lot of fun on

788
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,239
Speaker 3: the weekend team when the games matter. And so looking

789
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:26,040
Speaker 3: forward to, you know, to see this slate today and

790
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 3: sort of see where these teams are at and the

791
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,839
Speaker 3: Panthers this will be a huge success in the year

792
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 3: two for day Canals that staff to be division winners.

793
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, what do you think it? Size it up

794
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:44,040
Speaker 2: as your squad, You're right there. So what do you

795
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 2: think about them? I mean all year you've been wondering

796
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:51,520
Speaker 2: like are they real? Are they real? Uh? Tell me

797
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,440
Speaker 2: what you think of this one. So tamp has had

798
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 2: their issues.

799
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:59,680
Speaker 3: So for ten straight weeks, Carolina has won and lost

800
00:42:59,719 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 3: a game ten straight weeks now, one loss, one loss,

801
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 3: one loss. And when they're good, they beat the Rams,

802
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,879
Speaker 3: they the Packers, they beat the Bucks. When they're bad

803
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,560
Speaker 3: they lose the Saints and the Falcons and the like.

804
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: It's just it's just not very good. Right You're blow

805
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:21,239
Speaker 3: up by the Rams. Seattle are not really competitive last week,

806
00:43:21,800 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 3: and so I think a lot depends on what you

807
00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 3: think what team you're getting from the Panthers today. I

808
00:43:26,800 --> 00:43:29,040
Speaker 3: think we're gonna get the good Panthers because they played

809
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:30,759
Speaker 3: poorly last week and that's sort of been what they've

810
00:43:30,760 --> 00:43:34,560
Speaker 3: done this year. Poor good, poor good, poor good. And

811
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 3: you know, consistency is something that they're searching for moving forward,

812
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: but right now that's what the team has been. And

813
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 3: so all kind of I guess think the powder will

814
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 3: continue this weekend because also Tampa Bay is stinky, Buddy good.

815
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:53,440
Speaker 3: They have lost seven of eight. Baker Mayfield has been

816
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,279
Speaker 3: really bad. I think part of it is his you know,

817
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 3: the injury into his shoulders. Really starting to show right

818
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:02,719
Speaker 3: now is non throwing shoulder the team feels and plays old.

819
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure it's that old, but they sort of

820
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 3: feel that way when you watch them play more injuries

821
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,200
Speaker 3: two important players, their secondary is Guy out today and Dean.

822
00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:18,080
Speaker 3: It feels like Todd Bowles it doesn't really have what's

823
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 3: the right word to use, like not not juice, but

824
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 3: just like the team is sort of not buying what

825
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: he's selling anymore, by evident by him going out like

826
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,319
Speaker 3: that seven F bomb Ti Rade a few weeks ago

827
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 3: after one of their games, which you again, you don't

828
00:44:31,120 --> 00:44:34,759
Speaker 3: see that from Tod Bowles very often. So I do

829
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,680
Speaker 3: think that Tampa's just in a bad place right now.

830
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:38,719
Speaker 3: I don't think they're very good.

831
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: Can they win? Of course they could win. I mean

832
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 2: it'd be crazy.

833
00:44:41,880 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 3: If they lost, you know, seven or the last eight

834
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,479
Speaker 3: games and still make the playoffs. But that's the rules

835
00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 3: we have for the NFL playoffs. So I think I

836
00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,759
Speaker 3: think Carolina wins. It covers this game. It's probably a

837
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: popular pick. I don't really care at this point. I

838
00:44:54,200 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 3: just think that they're better, and we've seen them now,

839
00:44:57,239 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 3: you know, sort of have this mindset of like win lose,

840
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:01,240
Speaker 3: win lose, and I think.

841
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: We get the best of the Panthers today. You know,

842
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's interesting because I thought Tampa was going

843
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 2: to go on a role because they got healthy on offense, right,

844
00:45:12,640 --> 00:45:15,320
Speaker 2: like they got so too everybody back. I mean, you

845
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 2: got Bucky Irving back, he got Look at McMillan, he's

846
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 2: sneaky man, he's a terrific player. He comes back and

847
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:25,360
Speaker 2: he's automatically in the mix, and he's been more productive

848
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,479
Speaker 2: in the Buka, who was the story of the first half.

849
00:45:29,239 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, Buka's kind of falling off a little bit. But

850
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 3: also just I think it's I think sort of you know,

851
00:45:36,480 --> 00:45:38,320
Speaker 3: they had the injuries to Mike Evans was back, but

852
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 3: still not one hundred percent. I don't think God and

853
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:43,640
Speaker 3: God went to so so Buca's got more attention. As

854
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:46,000
Speaker 3: he's got more attention, just hasn't been as good. And look,

855
00:45:46,280 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 3: you know, a rookie wall is real, you know, and

856
00:45:50,200 --> 00:45:52,360
Speaker 3: you know he came off of a national championship in

857
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:54,400
Speaker 3: college football, Like he's played a lot of football this

858
00:45:54,480 --> 00:45:56,720
Speaker 3: past year. I think just the rookie, the rookie windows

859
00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,960
Speaker 3: sort of hit him when it happens that I felt

860
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,959
Speaker 3: that way as a rookie, right, you basically do anything

861
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:05,839
Speaker 3: about it. You go, let's say, let's use a book

862
00:46:05,840 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 3: of for example. So he starts fall camp in August

863
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 3: of twenty twenty four right in Ohio State.

864
00:46:14,120 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 2: He plays all the way through mid January. Right.

865
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:22,960
Speaker 3: He then goes right to Combine training, right to the Combine,

866
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 3: right to pro days, right to being drafted, and then

867
00:46:26,760 --> 00:46:29,440
Speaker 3: going immediately to Tampa Bay for mini camp and for

868
00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:32,440
Speaker 3: offseason workouts. Then he gets a four week break in

869
00:46:32,480 --> 00:46:35,360
Speaker 3: the summer work Guess what he's training for football? And

870
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 3: then you do football for the whole summer, for the fall,

871
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:43,040
Speaker 3: for the winter. Dude, your body is called tired.

872
00:46:43,120 --> 00:46:44,640
Speaker 2: Man, it's tired. You're just not used to it.

873
00:46:44,719 --> 00:46:47,080
Speaker 3: And that's why the rookie wall happens. That those are

874
00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 3: the reasons why. It's because there's just so much football

875
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: for essentially eighteen months in a row without stopping. Your

876
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:55,399
Speaker 3: body's not ready for it. And so when rookies sort

877
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:57,880
Speaker 3: of slow down. To me, it makes sense.

878
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: He does. I think it's killed Tampa too, though, is

879
00:47:05,120 --> 00:47:09,920
Speaker 2: they haven't been great protecting Baker and he's been He

880
00:47:10,040 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 2: hasn't been. He's been skinnish a little bit with all

881
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:16,520
Speaker 2: the pressure, and defensively they're just a mess in the

882
00:47:16,600 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: past came to their secondary.

883
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:22,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just think the team has gotten older and

884
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:25,719
Speaker 3: just not as good. It's is quite something, not as

885
00:47:25,719 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: good anymore, right, Just that's what the team has become,

886
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: and they they I think a lot of their success

887
00:47:33,960 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 3: over the last couple of years has been because Baker

888
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 3: sort of has this like chip on his shoulder attitude

889
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,400
Speaker 3: and the runs and the scrambles. He can't do that

890
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,080
Speaker 3: right now because the shoulders messed up, you know, like

891
00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,600
Speaker 3: he can but not to the same effectiveness is in

892
00:47:47,040 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 3: the past. And so I think we're seeing all of

893
00:47:48,680 --> 00:47:51,320
Speaker 3: that happen all at once, and it feels like this

894
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:52,600
Speaker 3: is sort of the end of you know, as we

895
00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 3: get to to Tomorrow to black or let's say, Sory Monday.

896
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 3: Black Monday does feel like Todd Bowles. I mean, if

897
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:01,320
Speaker 3: he wins, maybe saved his job, but it's nearing the

898
00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 3: end of his time in Tampa Bay.

899
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, then the night game is awesome. This

900
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 2: is for the one seed Niners Seattle.

901
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:20,200
Speaker 3: So I would like to fade Sam Darnold in this situation.

902
00:48:20,719 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 2: I really would.

903
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: The problem is with Niners defense is not very good

904
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: and they're one of the worst in the NFL at

905
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 3: rushing the passer. And look it makes sense. I mean

906
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:31,279
Speaker 3: they got a ton of They've got a ton of

907
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 3: guys that are hurt, right they lost Bosa and Williams

908
00:48:34,560 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 3: and Fred Warner, and it's a team that just can't

909
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 3: stop a nosebleed right now. They're near the bottom of

910
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,760
Speaker 3: the NFL, and pressure percentage in the bottom the NFL,

911
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:47,360
Speaker 3: an opponent completion percentage, bottom the NFL in sacks, and

912
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 3: their second worst in sacks. I only have like sixteen

913
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 3: sacks all season, which is insane. Our eighteen sacks, which

914
00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 3: is kind of crazy. Like, it's just not a very

915
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:58,720
Speaker 3: good defense right now. And for whatever fall of Seattle

916
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:00,640
Speaker 3: has offensively like they have trouble run the football I

917
00:49:00,680 --> 00:49:02,320
Speaker 3: think at times, and Darnold in big games with a

918
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:04,480
Speaker 3: ton of receptions. I just don't know how they just

919
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:06,240
Speaker 3: don't score a ton of points in this game, Seattle,

920
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,120
Speaker 3: I just don't the Diners. Diners offense has to be

921
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:14,440
Speaker 3: perfect every game, yeah, because their defense can't get a

922
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:16,960
Speaker 3: stops and against the Seattle defense, man like it. Look,

923
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,279
Speaker 3: let's say you have three empty possessions. I mean, can

924
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:23,399
Speaker 3: your defense gotta stop?

925
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean.

926
00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:26,840
Speaker 3: Like it, it feels like it's very tough for Exceptions

927
00:49:26,920 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 3: to win this game. I would like them to win.

928
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:32,440
Speaker 3: I I love what Chain has done so far this season.

929
00:49:33,760 --> 00:49:35,600
Speaker 3: They're a great story. But I just don't know if

930
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,080
Speaker 3: that defense is good. Have to win this game, man,

931
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:37,720
Speaker 3: It's that simple.

932
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's one thing to beat Chicago and out score

933
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: like you're not going to be able to have that

934
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:49,319
Speaker 2: kind of success against Seattle defense. No, No, as well,

935
00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,240
Speaker 2: think so I doubt I would. Listen, they're good shadow hands,

936
00:49:54,280 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 2: the best of business. Right, Hey, McVeigh are the best

937
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:01,360
Speaker 2: offensive mines. They can make a I thing happened, but

938
00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,800
Speaker 2: there's a limit. And as good as McCaffrey is and

939
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,359
Speaker 2: he's he's amazing. Uh and party's playing well and you've

940
00:50:11,400 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 2: got Kiddle coming back a lot of he's not playing tonight,

941
00:50:14,360 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: but you'll be back for the playoffs. You you got,

942
00:50:17,800 --> 00:50:20,600
Speaker 2: you got good weapons, man like Tongas is good, right,

943
00:50:20,760 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: like you got you got a lot, a lot to do.

944
00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:29,040
Speaker 2: But that Seattle defense is is too good to make

945
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:33,120
Speaker 2: up for their the Niner defense, like they're gonna like,

946
00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 2: like what Smith and Jigma going to have tonight? A

947
00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:37,919
Speaker 2: billion and fifty right.

948
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 3: Billionaire, yeah, billion yards, Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be it's

949
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:43,080
Speaker 3: gonna be tough.

950
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you. I think it's just a I

951
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: don't see san Fran running the ball in Seattle.

952
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 3: Well, I think I think you know, the thing about

953
00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:56,400
Speaker 3: that makes uh, you know a shanhand offense really effective

954
00:50:56,480 --> 00:50:58,879
Speaker 3: is that he just finds open receivers for his guy

955
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:01,799
Speaker 3: if you know, for for and se If you take

956
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 3: away those options, you know, what is what does it becoming?

957
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:08,680
Speaker 3: I do feel like it is a difficult ask against

958
00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,680
Speaker 3: this defense if they say, like we're just taking away

959
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:11,319
Speaker 3: something from you.

960
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:11,600
Speaker 4: You know.

961
00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you. Man. I just again,

962
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: I don't.

963
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: If the Niners defense was league average, I feel like

964
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,320
Speaker 3: so much better about their chances. But just it's just

965
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:26,880
Speaker 3: not no, no, it's not. And and look, I Donald

966
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:28,759
Speaker 3: this year has done six interceptions against the Rams. Like

967
00:51:28,880 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 3: he is not played well and this he didn't play

968
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 3: well in these moments last year. But again, like the

969
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:36,840
Speaker 3: Niners defense, I don't think can affect him in a

970
00:51:36,880 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 3: way that makes him play poorly.

971
00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:45,440
Speaker 2: No, no, no, I mean that's where if if they

972
00:51:45,480 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 2: were going to Philly right against that front, I think

973
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,640
Speaker 2: Donald would have a meltdown. Oh absolutely right, like you

974
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: know where you're going, Like we've seen it against the

975
00:51:56,440 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 2: Rams and the Rams front. Like, I just don't I

976
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 2: don't think the Niners can do I just don't think.

977
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 2: I just think they're that depletely defensively and shame like,

978
00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:11,719
Speaker 2: because I do think the Niners can make a run,

979
00:52:12,480 --> 00:52:14,680
Speaker 2: but it's all about the matchup, like they got to

980
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,640
Speaker 2: get the right path and the right matchup.

981
00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, I I I think I want to bet

982
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,640
Speaker 3: the Niners. I really want to. I really want the Niners,

983
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 3: and I hope I just I can't see that defense

984
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,760
Speaker 3: being effective enough to make it to make it happen.

985
00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, nobody so I kind of. But it's gonna

986
00:52:41,520 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 2: be fine. Listen, it'll be a great game tonight, like

987
00:52:44,640 --> 00:52:49,400
Speaker 2: the like this week EIGHTEAM is pretty awesome. I mean

988
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:51,919
Speaker 2: because then we get we we go all the four

989
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 2: o'clocks all matter in a certain way, and then you

990
00:52:56,360 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: got you know, Steelers Ravens from the game for the North,

991
00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:01,319
Speaker 2: which is freaking Allso.

992
00:53:02,160 --> 00:53:05,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be an incredible It's the NFL got

993
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,640
Speaker 3: lucky that the Ravens and Steelers both you know, did

994
00:53:08,680 --> 00:53:11,919
Speaker 3: their thing and one one one loss, Lamar is coming back.

995
00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a really fun way, especially after we

996
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:20,360
Speaker 3: just you know spent you know, spent this time in

997
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:22,839
Speaker 3: the comfortable playoff, like going tradition to an NFL where

998
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,400
Speaker 3: two games matter today and then you know there are

999
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 3: some games that matter early tomorrow. Right there, their team's

1000
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,200
Speaker 3: playing for for seeding, and seems like the Rams are

1001
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 3: playing their starters and Buffalo looks like they're playing their

1002
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:35,279
Speaker 3: starters because you know, I think the Rams don't want

1003
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 3: to play their stars, but they played so poorly. Well,

1004
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:38,880
Speaker 3: we gets the Falcons. They gotta play the stars a

1005
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:43,480
Speaker 3: little bit. So it is Uh, it's a it's a

1006
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 3: the NFL sort of lucked in to have it because

1007
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:47,359
Speaker 3: we talked about last week like there was a chance

1008
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:51,239
Speaker 3: that they were not gonna have like a game to

1009
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 3: put on, and right and they and they got they

1010
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:56,279
Speaker 3: got all these games to put on.

1011
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty wild that it all played out, played

1012
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:05,400
Speaker 2: out perfectly for him. But when you look at it, uh,

1013
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:08,759
Speaker 2: the greatest one is that is that Steeler Ravens game

1014
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 2: is awesome. Like that's that. Now the shave is DK,

1015
00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:17,520
Speaker 2: I don't care like you that's a huge loss for them.

1016
00:54:18,880 --> 00:54:20,520
Speaker 3: Oh, it's a huge loss for them. But he just

1017
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,319
Speaker 3: can't go on in the stands, and I mean it's

1018
00:54:23,400 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 3: his fault. It's such a killer. Though their offense is

1019
00:54:28,880 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 3: completely is killer, it's not completely dead without without uh

1020
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 3: without k they can't anyways, and well him, they can't

1021
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 3: do that. So game Well fire me and Washington's out

1022
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 3: with a broken arm, right, so fire Meth has to

1023
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 3: step up now, DK, I mean, game Well's got to

1024
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 3: step up. Look, man, I'll tell you this. Last week

1025
00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 3: I picked the Browns to cover. I thought they could

1026
00:54:54,760 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 3: win because the best place to bet against Mike Tomlin

1027
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 3: is when their road favorites off a big win, right

1028
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,399
Speaker 3: like that was so predictable. They've lost five games now

1029
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:10,479
Speaker 3: it's gonna be the last five games when they played

1030
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,680
Speaker 3: a team that was eight games below five hundred to

1031
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 3: wild a wild stat they're four and one, last five games,

1032
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 3: like you know, three and twelve, oh to eight something

1033
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:24,960
Speaker 3: like that? Right that two and eleven, that'd be two, yeah,

1034
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:27,479
Speaker 3: two and eleven, like two and ten. Can't win those games.

1035
00:55:28,160 --> 00:55:33,800
Speaker 3: But the best place to back to back Mike Tomlin

1036
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,920
Speaker 3: is in this spot home underdog where No one believes

1037
00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 3: in them, so that like this is gonna be a

1038
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:42,440
Speaker 3: much closer game than I think people think.

1039
00:55:45,040 --> 00:55:48,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, listen, I mean that's that's what injury says. I

1040
00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:52,680
Speaker 2: also don't know how good the Ravings are, Like they

1041
00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 2: look pretty pretty banged up, I mean other than their

1042
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:02,280
Speaker 2: other than Henry when you think of you know, Lamar

1043
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 2: doesn't look right and I was gonna play, and we

1044
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 2: saw Huntley the last couple of weeks, but he doesn't

1045
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 2: look right. And even their defense isn't scary. They're so

1046
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 2: you know.

1047
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: The discussion about whether Lamar would play. Some of it

1048
00:56:20,320 --> 00:56:23,360
Speaker 3: had stem from the idea that Huntley with his legs,

1049
00:56:23,480 --> 00:56:26,440
Speaker 3: gives the offense a better appearance because the offense is

1050
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 3: so built with the ability for Lamar to run as

1051
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 3: part of the main frame of the offense. And the

1052
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 3: last five the last five seven weeks, Lamar hasn't been

1053
00:56:35,160 --> 00:56:38,680
Speaker 3: able to run and it has affected the entire offense

1054
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 3: the point where it looked like it should when Tyler

1055
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,160
Speaker 3: Huntley was playing. Even though we all agree Lamar is

1056
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 3: better than Tyler Huntley right like, he just is, but

1057
00:56:47,120 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 3: they just have not been the same team because Lamar

1058
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 3: has been beat up all season. It's affected the offense,

1059
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 3: and so I have the numbers.

1060
00:56:54,239 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 2: Right here for you.

1061
00:56:55,520 --> 00:57:01,160
Speaker 3: Well, Lamar the last so the let's see here, we'll

1062
00:57:01,200 --> 00:57:03,880
Speaker 3: pull it up right here. Okay, first five games of

1063
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,120
Speaker 3: mar played this season completed seventy three percent of passes,

1064
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,959
Speaker 3: with a pass rating of one thirty six point seven,

1065
00:57:11,200 --> 00:57:14,200
Speaker 3: top three in the NFL, and both those things fifteen

1066
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 3: total touchdowns. Last seven games he's played complete percent, has

1067
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 3: drops a fifty seven percent seventy three fifty seven yards

1068
00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:28,560
Speaker 3: per pass, goes down nearly two yards four touchdowns passing,

1069
00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:31,720
Speaker 3: that's its five interceptions. His passer rating goes from one

1070
00:57:31,880 --> 00:57:33,680
Speaker 3: thirty six to seventy six.

1071
00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:34,840
Speaker 2: Wow.

1072
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 3: Since Week ten, it's completely percent, just thirty through the

1073
00:57:38,280 --> 00:57:42,040
Speaker 3: NFL pass yards per game, twenty seventh in the NFL. Like,

1074
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:45,200
Speaker 3: he's just hasn't been good, and I'm not sure that

1075
00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 3: he's gonna be great all of a sudden now coming

1076
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 3: off a back injury. Right, So this is where I

1077
00:57:52,360 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 3: have concerned about Baltimore tonight.

1078
00:57:54,760 --> 00:58:00,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's fair, you know, And that's that's got

1079
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 2: to which keeps Pittsburgh in the game. And they're gonna

1080
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:09,800
Speaker 2: because I think they'll be able to handle Henry decent enough,

1081
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 2: but it'll come down to whether or not the quarterback

1082
00:58:15,080 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 2: can make some plays to have the field because that's

1083
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:21,320
Speaker 2: where they're gonna be vulnerable. It is, it is.

1084
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,720
Speaker 3: So that's gonna be such a fun game because look,

1085
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:26,240
Speaker 3: the Steelers problems all the time.

1086
00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 2: They have this voodoo.

1087
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:28,800
Speaker 3: Man, I don't know what it is. They just voodoo

1088
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,520
Speaker 3: like that. They have Steelers voodoo. And this is just

1089
00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 3: feels like a voodoo game, you know, like sixteen thirteen. Yes, yes,

1090
00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:39,840
Speaker 3: it's something like some Steelers score.

1091
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:41,240
Speaker 2: What is happening right now?

1092
00:58:42,200 --> 00:58:45,960
Speaker 3: They have a tip pass interception, Jarrick Henry fumbles.

1093
00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 2: For no apparent reason.

1094
00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 3: The defense scorer, why is back Boswell hits four fifty

1095
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: yard field goals. Like You're like, You're like, what is it?

1096
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: What is this?

1097
00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: What's happening right now? This is what the Steelers do.

1098
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 3: It's what they It's what they live for. So I

1099
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:04,080
Speaker 3: I think that this game will be pretty close.

1100
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I could see Boswhill having at night too. You're right,

1101
00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 2: I can totally see that. All right, let's say quick too,

1102
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: we'll continue kind of where we look at each conference

1117
01:00:13,080 --> 01:00:15,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's take a look at the kind of

1118
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:20,040
Speaker 2: contenders and what it kind of looks like. We'll start

1119
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 2: in the NFC. All right, so we know the Niners

1120
01:00:26,080 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 2: and Seattle for the one seed. All of a sudden,

1121
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 2: people are starting to question the Rams after the Monday

1122
01:00:35,840 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 2: Night lost at Atlanta. Now, can I just say, I

1123
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 2: mean it was they were just to tick off that

1124
01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:49,680
Speaker 2: entire game. Yeah, Like I mean, they were, I mean

1125
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,920
Speaker 2: as full as they lost the game. First of Atlanta's

1126
01:00:53,920 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: pretty good. And I look at them, and I go

1127
01:00:58,240 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 2: and I look at the Rams, and you know, we

1128
01:01:00,080 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: had two touchdown long touchdowns called back Pooka almost makes

1129
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 2: the great circuits catch on the sidelines to set up

1130
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:10,920
Speaker 2: the game tying field goal. Just all this stuff that

1131
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,360
Speaker 2: the Rams are vulnerable, I don't think so. I think

1132
01:01:13,400 --> 01:01:15,680
Speaker 2: the Rams are still nasty. Well.

1133
01:01:16,240 --> 01:01:18,080
Speaker 3: I mean you would you would like to play your

1134
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,200
Speaker 3: best ball at the end of the season, and it

1135
01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:25,720
Speaker 3: feels like they're not, you know, and that that's concerning.

1136
01:01:25,960 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 3: You know, you lose the Seattle, Okay, that happens, but

1137
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 3: the Falcons losses like an excusable right. I mean, you

1138
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 3: you didn't play well in that game, and you can

1139
01:01:36,880 --> 01:01:40,800
Speaker 3: make the case and I'm here for it that when

1140
01:01:40,800 --> 01:01:42,520
Speaker 3: you lose the Seattle and you're sort of get your

1141
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:45,440
Speaker 3: your dreams crushed to be the one seed that now

1142
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:49,400
Speaker 3: you have too on the road and whatnot. So that's

1143
01:01:49,440 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: why I think he's playing the starters this weekend, at

1144
01:01:52,040 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 3: least for a little bit. I mean, Seakay has said

1145
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 3: that they're playing the starters, and I think that will

1146
01:01:57,560 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 3: at least be for half. Right, We're gonna play stars

1147
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,520
Speaker 3: for a half Arizona because we need to start feeling

1148
01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 3: better about where we are as a team heading into

1149
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 3: the postseason. And that feels like a normal thing to

1150
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:11,600
Speaker 3: want to do. Because look, one thing that I think

1151
01:02:11,680 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 3: we have to talk about when it comes to a

1152
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,000
Speaker 3: lot of these games this weekend, and I think people

1153
01:02:15,120 --> 01:02:20,040
Speaker 3: have a misconception of this. If you are the one

1154
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 3: seed that's hugely important, right outside of that, you'd rather

1155
01:02:24,280 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 3: be healthy and playing the football you want than the

1156
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:30,200
Speaker 3: seed you are. It doesn't matter. It really doesn't like it.

1157
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 3: You know, the idea that a team is playing for

1158
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 3: six seeds to have a seventh seed or five seeds,

1159
01:02:35,640 --> 01:02:38,760
Speaker 3: that they're not right, They're now you're playing for division.

1160
01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,720
Speaker 3: You want a home game, absolutely, But like the Chargers

1161
01:02:41,760 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: are not playing any starters this weekend, Like whatever, if

1162
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:45,400
Speaker 3: we're the six or seventh seed, it does not matter.

1163
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 3: We're in the playoffs that we have to beat the

1164
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 3: teams anyways. Let's just be healthy instead, right, So this

1165
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,400
Speaker 3: idea that certain teams this weekend are playing for seeding,

1166
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:55,520
Speaker 3: to me is kind of kind of bs like they're

1167
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,040
Speaker 3: really not. The Rams are playing their starters because they

1168
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,040
Speaker 3: played poorly against Atlanta and they want to play well

1169
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:03,200
Speaker 3: in a game. Heading in the postseason, they're playing on

1170
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 3: playing the entire game, play half right, get you know,

1171
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,080
Speaker 3: it's a gut preaches the game, get good, to work

1172
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 3: in and get out, so that we have to start

1173
01:03:09,160 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 3: talking stop talking about games like, oh, they're playing hard

1174
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 3: because they want No, they don't care about where they

1175
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:15,760
Speaker 3: are on the wildcard now, they're playing for division, right,

1176
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:19,560
Speaker 3: Houston's playing hard because if Jacksonville lose this, Houston win's division. Right, Like,

1177
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 3: there's teams playing hard for division purposes, but they're not

1178
01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:25,040
Speaker 3: playing hard because they want a different seat in the

1179
01:03:25,080 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 3: wildcard section.

1180
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:31,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, Although to what illustrates your point is

1181
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:35,520
Speaker 2: the Eagles are not playing their stars on Sunday and

1182
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 2: they have a chance to be what is it the

1183
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 2: two Detroit needs to go into Chicago and win and

1184
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,000
Speaker 2: which is right but also has to win too. Well,

1185
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:56,360
Speaker 2: that's it realistically that could happen, Ben Johnson. I mean

1186
01:03:56,440 --> 01:03:59,680
Speaker 2: the Dan Campbell gets into your evenge you gets you know,

1187
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,960
Speaker 2: vision foe and Ben Johnson whatever. The Eagles obviously have

1188
01:04:05,080 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 2: to beat Washington, which they can, but they're gonna roll

1189
01:04:07,960 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 2: with their backups and I think now their o line

1190
01:04:12,640 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 2: needs a rest, So I kind of get it, but

1191
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,400
Speaker 2: I really want to Winnen. I like, to me, you

1192
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 2: gotta win the game, because here's the deal. If you

1193
01:04:23,360 --> 01:04:27,320
Speaker 2: win the game, you're gonna get the Packers. If you lose,

1194
01:04:28,320 --> 01:04:32,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna get either the loser of Seattle San fran

1195
01:04:33,560 --> 01:04:36,400
Speaker 2: or the Rams. I don't want to play the West.

1196
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,760
Speaker 2: I rather play the Packers. But here's here's the thing, though, Like,

1197
01:04:40,240 --> 01:04:41,000
Speaker 2: here's your choice.

1198
01:04:41,080 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 3: Right, would you rather be healthy, motivated, mentally fresh to

1199
01:04:47,640 --> 01:04:50,680
Speaker 3: play whoever you play or go in the postseason a

1200
01:04:50,720 --> 01:04:54,120
Speaker 3: little beat up? Like it's not just the physical part

1201
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 3: of resting, it's a mental rest. Right, You've you've grinded

1202
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:02,360
Speaker 3: now for eighteen weeks, you gain this any week off

1203
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:07,000
Speaker 3: like so mentally refreshing, and that might be more important

1204
01:05:08,160 --> 01:05:11,320
Speaker 3: than who you play in week one, And to be

1205
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,160
Speaker 3: weak the first week of the preseason and the playoffs

1206
01:05:15,080 --> 01:05:17,560
Speaker 3: is to just be have a team that's mentally and

1207
01:05:17,600 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 3: physically refreshing, and in the end you're gonna have to

1208
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,120
Speaker 3: go through good teams. Anyways, I think that it makes

1209
01:05:23,160 --> 01:05:25,080
Speaker 3: a lot of sense for the Eagles to say, look, man,

1210
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,160
Speaker 3: we're just like we we just need to get healthy

1211
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:33,400
Speaker 3: and mentally in a good place. We have a home

1212
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:37,480
Speaker 3: playoff game. You gotta be good teams anyways, let's focus

1213
01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,800
Speaker 3: on that rather than focusing on making sure we play

1214
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:40,479
Speaker 3: the right team.

1215
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really, I mean, look, I mean, I think

1216
01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:51,600
Speaker 2: it's a distinct advantage playing Green Bay as opposed to

1217
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:53,320
Speaker 2: one of those teams.

1218
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:59,200
Speaker 3: Defense is terrible though, Okay, well, show the Eagles offense, well,

1219
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 3: you would think that maybe a week off would help

1220
01:06:01,400 --> 01:06:03,120
Speaker 3: Eagles offense. I mean, I think it's more than that.

1221
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 2: Dude.

1222
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 3: They spent seventeen weeks not doing well. Oh I know,

1223
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 3: I know it's not they're They're not set up well

1224
01:06:11,440 --> 01:06:15,960
Speaker 3: offense coordinator. It's a problem. So I don't think anything

1225
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 3: any rest is gonna change any of that. It just

1226
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 3: it just it just didn't work out with the OC

1227
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:26,560
Speaker 3: this this season. Like you gotta score more than thirteen

1228
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 3: points against against Buffalo, Like I to not have one

1229
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,160
Speaker 3: completion in the second half of the game is mind blowing.

1230
01:06:35,720 --> 01:06:37,720
Speaker 2: Dude. You have if you have you have a J.

1231
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:42,240
Speaker 3: Brown, DeVante Smith, Dallas Goddard Barkley, and you don't have

1232
01:06:42,360 --> 01:06:44,880
Speaker 3: one completion second half of the game, not one. The

1233
01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:48,160
Speaker 3: Buffalo defense is terrible. The fact that Barkley only rushed

1234
01:06:48,200 --> 01:06:51,200
Speaker 3: for sixty eight yards something like that, six yards against

1235
01:06:51,280 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 3: that defensive line is insane. Did you see how upset

1236
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:59,520
Speaker 3: Fred Johnson was when he got when he got picked

1237
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 3: by Yeah, it's a lineman because Steen just let him

1238
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:05,360
Speaker 3: run full speed of him in him right aside. I'd

1239
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:07,640
Speaker 3: be furious if that happened to me. I get that.

1240
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 3: It just feels like it's it's a good weekend, just

1241
01:07:11,480 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 3: to reset for for for Philly. It just and you

1242
01:07:14,440 --> 01:07:17,919
Speaker 3: might win anyways. I mean you're playing the Commanders right well, yeah,

1243
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:21,960
Speaker 3: I do think Josh Josh Johnson, Yeah, yeah, so I

1244
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:26,200
Speaker 3: do think so. And by the way, my board backup

1245
01:07:26,360 --> 01:07:29,439
Speaker 3: is good. Oh god, if he plays well, we're gonna

1246
01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 3: have to hear all of season. It's like Davis Mills

1247
01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:33,040
Speaker 3: should start over. Jalen hurts.

1248
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:37,120
Speaker 2: Well, it's not about not even about that. It's just

1249
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 2: about to do We're gonna work kids good though, d.

1250
01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:43,840
Speaker 3: W P I is that the that the that the

1251
01:07:43,960 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 3: w I W I P have to you know six

1252
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:48,080
Speaker 3: months of those six months of those calls.

1253
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:56,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Davis Mills. No, no, listen, I will

1254
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: say this about the about jail he has to be

1255
01:08:04,640 --> 01:08:12,439
Speaker 2: under center. He if he's not gonna run shotgun is useless. Yes,

1256
01:08:12,560 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 2: I agree, So he's gotta be under center. And they

1257
01:08:16,800 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 2: got to take advantage of play action. Theydre the worst

1258
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,960
Speaker 2: when it comes to play action. Everything in this league

1259
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,360
Speaker 2: is about play action. Watch the Rams, watch it.

1260
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 3: Can you not be good at with Sakoon Berkley? Well,

1261
01:08:28,840 --> 01:08:31,479
Speaker 3: that's the point, that's what And they're O line.

1262
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 2: I get it. The interior line is not the same

1263
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,719
Speaker 2: as it was last year. They're banged up and Lane

1264
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 2: Johnson's been out, but they're still a good group and

1265
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,840
Speaker 2: they could still run block. I mean, come on, are

1266
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 2: you gonna you know me?

1267
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 3: Are you a little concerned about about Lane not playing

1268
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:50,400
Speaker 3: last week? Because I thought he was gonna play and

1269
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,720
Speaker 3: him not playing as a tie concerning.

1270
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,719
Speaker 2: No I, I you know, it was Frank's It's tough,

1271
01:08:58,080 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 2: like I kind of I didn't expect them to play

1272
01:09:00,080 --> 01:09:00,479
Speaker 2: last week.

1273
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 3: I thought he was like I thought he was gearing

1274
01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,839
Speaker 3: up to play. I thought he was on the Jergons

1275
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:06,479
Speaker 3: a little beat up, like it's just you know, it's

1276
01:09:06,560 --> 01:09:08,599
Speaker 3: just yeah, the has.

1277
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:11,439
Speaker 2: Not played well. He's a pro bowler for some reason.

1278
01:09:11,840 --> 01:09:13,720
Speaker 2: I don't know how he got the Pro Bowl. That

1279
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 2: was a mistake. The Pro Bowl.

1280
01:09:15,680 --> 01:09:18,840
Speaker 3: Look, man, I know people think and sort of mock

1281
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:21,280
Speaker 3: the Pro Bowl now because it's not even a game,

1282
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:24,599
Speaker 3: and I get that, but it actually really is important

1283
01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 3: because when it gets time to talk in Hall of

1284
01:09:28,040 --> 01:09:33,200
Speaker 3: Fame and talking like what postseason like post career stuff

1285
01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:37,560
Speaker 3: and whatnot, like that matters a lot. And when you

1286
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:42,240
Speaker 3: get it wrong, it's it's it really doesn't allow other

1287
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 3: players that deserve it to have the discussions about their careers.

1288
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:48,479
Speaker 3: And it seems like we're getting it wrong a lot,

1289
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:50,960
Speaker 3: and that's why it matters.

1290
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:51,479
Speaker 2: Again.

1291
01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,519
Speaker 3: I know people it doesn't matter like really because they're

1292
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:58,479
Speaker 3: not actually playing the game. But being a first ballot

1293
01:09:58,760 --> 01:10:01,600
Speaker 3: Pro Bowler, you can't even get in the Hall of

1294
01:10:01,600 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 3: Fame DISCUSSI unless you've made a Pro Bowl, I believe,

1295
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 3: or all pro like it. To me, it's important still

1296
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:11,839
Speaker 3: to get that title. And I think that the voters,

1297
01:10:12,680 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 3: and I do think a lot of times it comes

1298
01:10:14,520 --> 01:10:16,360
Speaker 3: down to the coaches vote. I think that they tell

1299
01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 3: the fans that they're part of it, but they're really not.

1300
01:10:19,439 --> 01:10:21,559
Speaker 3: You got to get it right, man, like you can't

1301
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 3: have the wrong guys like like really wrong guys getting

1302
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,439
Speaker 3: these getting these these Pro Bowl votes.

1303
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:31,439
Speaker 2: Well, how does it change now with the with the

1304
01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:32,839
Speaker 2: fact that you're not playing a game.

1305
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:36,479
Speaker 3: But it's still it still matters for like resume.

1306
01:10:36,760 --> 01:10:43,280
Speaker 2: Well, right, but the all Pro stuff shouldn't that shouldn't

1307
01:10:43,280 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 2: that take care of it?

1308
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:48,640
Speaker 3: It should, But we still use Pro Bowl to to identify,

1309
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 3: you know, good players, right, like when you talk about

1310
01:10:51,880 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 3: you know, as we get to the Hall of Fame induction,

1311
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,320
Speaker 3: this guy made nine Pro Bowls, Like, that's still.

1312
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,559
Speaker 2: Thing, right, And question is doesn't if you're not, Yes,

1313
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:03,559
Speaker 2: I think it does. Yes, just it's there's no difference

1314
01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 2: between All Pro and Pro Bowl. Uh, there's well there's

1315
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 2: I think there's a well I think there's a difference. Actually,

1316
01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:15,200
Speaker 2: so all Pro there is obviously less, right because it's

1317
01:11:15,320 --> 01:11:17,799
Speaker 2: it's just for the entire league, not for a conference.

1318
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:22,479
Speaker 2: And the voters who vote for for all proh so

1319
01:11:22,600 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 2: Pro Bowl voting as coaches, players and fans. All Pro

1320
01:11:25,960 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 2: voting is I believe the fifty you know, the fifty people,

1321
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: they fifty journalists that they've chosen, right, those guys like dude,

1322
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:35,559
Speaker 2: they they call us like they call me and ask

1323
01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:38,960
Speaker 2: me from my opinion, like it's a it's a legitimate

1324
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 2: process where those guys care a lot about being right

1325
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:47,880
Speaker 2: and they try to get the right teams. And that's

1326
01:11:47,920 --> 01:11:50,680
Speaker 2: different than Pro Bowl. Like, no one's asking me who

1327
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,000
Speaker 2: I should vote for for Pro Bowl, right, but people

1328
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:55,880
Speaker 2: reach out and say, hey, man, can you help me

1329
01:11:55,960 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 2: with just give me an idea of where you think

1330
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,800
Speaker 2: offensive line should be in the whether I'm in right, No,

1331
01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,240
Speaker 2: they don't always follow what I say, but like they

1332
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 2: at least call me for to get my pack you're doing,

1333
01:12:07,479 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 2: but they don't do that for Pro Bowl. Now, well

1334
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:12,880
Speaker 2: that's my point is that all pro is all pro.

1335
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:16,880
Speaker 2: All pro is much more important. But again, Pro Bowl

1336
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:19,120
Speaker 2: does matter. Like we're gonna start talking like we've you know,

1337
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:20,519
Speaker 2: it's Hall of Fame you know, it's a Hall of

1338
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:22,439
Speaker 2: Fame induction time, right, like we see, Yeah, my only

1339
01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,640
Speaker 2: point is you're gonna have to use other criteria now

1340
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 2: other than Pro Bowl. I think.

1341
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 3: So this is where I think, like p f F

1342
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:31,280
Speaker 3: will play a big role, right, Like like I think

1343
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:36,560
Speaker 3: I think Lane Johnson will be the first like like

1344
01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 3: p f F like Hall of Famer now Lane deserves it,

1345
01:12:39,760 --> 01:12:42,840
Speaker 3: by the way, but the first guy we're like p

1346
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 3: f F played a giant role in him being a

1347
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:48,559
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer. Yeah, I can say, like, like he's

1348
01:12:48,560 --> 01:12:52,160
Speaker 3: the first right tackle that really has excuse me, ever

1349
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 3: made Pro Bowls right, like at a consistent level. It

1350
01:12:55,120 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 3: never happened. And it's all because we're able to quantify

1351
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 3: your play in the position now because PFF gives us

1352
01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:05,200
Speaker 3: actual grades for offensive linemen.

1353
01:13:07,960 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, well they he needs something to quantify.

1354
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 3: So like I feel he's like because like Willie Anderson

1355
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 3: keeps is up for the Hall of Fame every year

1356
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 3: right for Bengals Ravens right tackle. He should be a

1357
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,200
Speaker 3: Hall of Famer, absolutely when the best tackles ever play

1358
01:13:22,240 --> 01:13:24,960
Speaker 3: the game. But there's no numbers for him, Like there's

1359
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:27,120
Speaker 3: no like here was his great here was I mean

1360
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:30,120
Speaker 3: pressures he allowed in two thousand and one for lane?

1361
01:13:30,840 --> 01:13:36,400
Speaker 2: You have all the numbers, right, It's so funny. It's funny.

1362
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:41,120
Speaker 2: You know we need numbers, but numbers aren't.

1363
01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 7: It's not real when it comes to right But but

1364
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,479
Speaker 7: I tell you that, I'll tell you what though, It

1365
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,720
Speaker 7: does help when you say this guy was good and

1366
01:13:53,120 --> 01:13:55,639
Speaker 7: on top of that, he allowed fifteen pressures all season,

1367
01:13:56,080 --> 01:13:59,400
Speaker 7: Like there is some benefits that because I can tell

1368
01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,760
Speaker 7: you that Aaron Brewer was the.

1369
01:14:01,760 --> 01:14:04,200
Speaker 3: Best center of the season on the Dolphins. You'd be like,

1370
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:05,200
Speaker 3: what's Aaron Brewer?

1371
01:14:06,360 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 2: Why?

1372
01:14:06,680 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 3: They could list off all the reasons why. But if

1373
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:11,200
Speaker 3: I tell you he allowed two pressures all season, had

1374
01:14:11,200 --> 01:14:14,360
Speaker 3: the best run blocking grade it doesn't have, it does

1375
01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:16,440
Speaker 3: at least help the discussion.

1376
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:16,680
Speaker 2: Right.

1377
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:22,000
Speaker 3: So that's why I think it's important to have the

1378
01:14:22,120 --> 01:14:24,599
Speaker 3: context of PFF when it comes talking about offense alignment.

1379
01:14:25,320 --> 01:14:27,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, all right, we're gonna think we t o.

1380
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:31,639
Speaker 2: We'll come back and we'll discuss the AFC players, playoff

1381
01:14:31,680 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 2: fixer as well. Lots to do. Fellas hanging out on

1391
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,639
Speaker 2: So let's uh, before we move over to the AFC,

1392
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:25,000
Speaker 2: let's examine kind of who else is out there that

1393
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:29,040
Speaker 2: we're looking at. So we've talked a little bit about

1394
01:15:29,080 --> 01:15:35,640
Speaker 2: the Eagles, the defending champions. Can this offense make a

1395
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:38,439
Speaker 2: run now? I think their defense is the best in

1396
01:15:38,479 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 2: the NFC. It's just dominant, and you saw what it

1397
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,120
Speaker 2: did to the Bills last week, and they could win

1398
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 2: rock fights to get to another Super Bowl. Can the

1399
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,839
Speaker 2: offense come alive a little bit to give them some support?

1400
01:15:54,280 --> 01:15:58,639
Speaker 2: I don't know why it would change now? Right?

1401
01:15:58,720 --> 01:15:58,760
Speaker 4: What?

1402
01:15:58,920 --> 01:15:58,960
Speaker 2: What?

1403
01:15:59,160 --> 01:15:59,200
Speaker 6: What?

1404
01:15:59,360 --> 01:16:00,760
Speaker 2: What? What would change? Now?

1405
01:16:01,560 --> 01:16:05,000
Speaker 3: That just have been waiting for all the bad offense

1406
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 3: to stop for the good offense in the playoffs? I

1407
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 3: just don't think that. Look, my thing about the postseason

1408
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:16,799
Speaker 3: is that I think the Chiefs and maybe the Patriots

1409
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 3: with Tom Brady at times, normalized having you know, being

1410
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,720
Speaker 3: able to basically play through defects like Mahomes was so

1411
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:29,200
Speaker 3: good at just managing playoff games that the Chiefs were

1412
01:16:29,240 --> 01:16:32,240
Speaker 3: able to win with and get to playoffs with subpar

1413
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:35,160
Speaker 3: offense sometimes or subpar defense or some some sort of

1414
01:16:35,280 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 3: glaring issue. And that's not really how it works for

1415
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,040
Speaker 3: most teams. And when you have a glaring deficiency like

1416
01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:45,000
Speaker 3: offense for the Eagles, it's hard to win three playoff

1417
01:16:45,040 --> 01:16:47,240
Speaker 3: games to make a super Bowl with a glaring deficiency.

1418
01:16:47,960 --> 01:16:51,040
Speaker 3: And you can you win one or two, absolutely, but

1419
01:16:51,160 --> 01:16:53,080
Speaker 3: to win three or even four to win a super Bowl,

1420
01:16:53,160 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 3: to me feels like a very very difficult task.

1421
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 2: And can they do it? Yeah? Can they win ugly

1422
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:00,680
Speaker 2: games weeks and they row?

1423
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:03,360
Speaker 3: Sure, but the margins of air, like you know, what

1424
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,040
Speaker 3: if you're a guy in the secondary slips and you

1425
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:09,880
Speaker 3: give him a touchdown, you know, like, weird things happen

1426
01:17:09,960 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 3: in games, right, and and your offense truns up all

1427
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,320
Speaker 3: over and you give up short fields. And there's just

1428
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 3: many reasons why it's very tough to win games only

1429
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 3: one type of way. So if Eagles offense figures it out,

1430
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:28,680
Speaker 3: which again I think feels unlikely, then then sure, but

1431
01:17:28,760 --> 01:17:31,200
Speaker 3: I just think it's it's really impossible for that to

1432
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:34,479
Speaker 3: happen when you have a deficiity like they do on offense.

1433
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:40,800
Speaker 2: All right, Bears, how real are the Bears? They've are

1434
01:17:40,920 --> 01:17:46,200
Speaker 2: hot down the Strets eleven and five. They look terrific.

1435
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,960
Speaker 2: Their offense looks great, like, you know, Caleb is playing

1436
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:55,040
Speaker 2: some really good football. How real are the Bears as contender?

1437
01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 2: I don't think they're that real.

1438
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 3: They are a team that has had a great season,

1439
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 3: a team that should celebrate the results of their season

1440
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 3: as a positive, considering that when they were last year

1441
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:14,519
Speaker 3: at this time, they should view their season as one

1442
01:18:14,600 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 3: that solidified Candib Williams as the future quarterback of the Bears.

1443
01:18:18,920 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 3: Like the job I thought this year for Ben Johnson

1444
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,400
Speaker 3: was to make sure that the Bears ended the season

1445
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,400
Speaker 3: knowing who their quarterback was, and very clearly it is

1446
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 3: Canda Williams. But they're not good enough to multiple playoff games.

1447
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 3: Great story this year, just this is not what they're.

1448
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:34,560
Speaker 2: Going to be. Are they better than last year's Commanders?

1449
01:18:37,240 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 3: I don't think so. Actually, I don't don't. I think

1450
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 3: Daniels is better than Williams. I don't think they're going

1451
01:18:44,439 --> 01:18:46,720
Speaker 3: to go in the playoffs and and be able to

1452
01:18:46,840 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 3: do what the Commanders did.

1453
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:59,639
Speaker 2: Know all right, do you I thought the Commanders were flawed?

1454
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 2: I agree with you. Daniels last year better than Caleb

1455
01:19:04,760 --> 01:19:12,400
Speaker 2: bought Ben Johnson. Caleb better than Dan will not would

1456
01:19:12,439 --> 01:19:16,880
Speaker 2: be Dan Quilby Kingsbury and Daniels. Yeah, I mean Ben

1457
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,679
Speaker 2: Johnson's unbelievable what he's done with him. Oh my god,

1458
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:23,560
Speaker 2: it's so funny. How like a lot of times we

1459
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:28,439
Speaker 2: we I think sometimes like think to ourselves like that

1460
01:19:28,520 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 2: can't be a really good higher because everyone think it's

1461
01:19:30,439 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 2: gonna be good. Hug.

1462
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,760
Speaker 3: I think I even said, I'm like really, like really

1463
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna be good. There's no way it's gonna be

1464
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 3: that good.

1465
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: And every bet as good as people wanted it to be.

1466
01:19:38,720 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: He's amazing. He's a great coach. Great coach. Yeah, he

1467
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:46,920
Speaker 2: just is. I'm a Kingsbury fan, but Ben Johnson is

1468
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 2: on the level level you just did. You could see

1469
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:55,560
Speaker 2: Caleb's growth throughout the year, I mean incredible. So it's unbelievable.

1470
01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,360
Speaker 2: Like he right, he's made him through a real quarterback.

1471
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 2: All Right, fellas, big ol, We're coming up next. Don't

1472
01:20:03,160 --> 01:20:05,799
Speaker 2: go anywhere, don't.

01:20:35,960 --> 01:20:38,960
Speaker 2: studios in case you missed it, obviously talked a lot

1481
01:20:39,200 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 2: about the college football playoffs and as my man over

1482
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 2: here is basking and the Oregon victory in to the

1483
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 2: final four. H fascinating stuff with Indiana. I don't think

1484
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 2: we could say enough about Indiana. They are the great

1485
01:20:57,320 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 2: story of this playoff. On signetti, think about think about this,

1486
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:09,439
Speaker 2: Jeff for a second. Signetti what story like he's come

1487
01:21:09,520 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 2: here and he is just dominated. What is it? What

1488
01:21:14,920 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: does the signetti mean for what we perceive as coaches.

1489
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:28,679
Speaker 3: I don't know, because it's sort of unprecedented, right where

1490
01:21:30,160 --> 01:21:34,960
Speaker 3: a guy goes from being you know, a Nick Saban assistant,

1491
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,360
Speaker 3: and we've seen those guys like get jobs immediately right

1492
01:21:39,200 --> 01:21:44,360
Speaker 3: to going down to Division two it was originally right, yeah,

1493
01:21:44,600 --> 01:21:49,800
Speaker 3: and then going to Believe one Double A and then

1494
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 3: going to JMU when they were switching over from one

1495
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 3: Double A which is FCS to FBS, right, and so

1496
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,720
Speaker 3: you know he was at iup.

1497
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,000
Speaker 2: Than elon the James Madison Indiana.

1498
01:22:05,160 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 3: I don't know if anything is we've ever seen anything

1499
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 3: like this before where he talked about sort of like

1500
01:22:10,200 --> 01:22:12,960
Speaker 3: he that he wanted to go down a level some

1501
01:22:13,200 --> 01:22:15,639
Speaker 3: levels to like just learn to be a better coach,

1502
01:22:15,640 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 3: and he felt that he had to go down those

1503
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:19,920
Speaker 3: levels to make that happen, to make his dream of

1504
01:22:19,960 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 3: being a head coach in Division one football reality. So,

1505
01:22:24,160 --> 01:22:26,439
Speaker 3: you know, I think people are going to try to

1506
01:22:27,600 --> 01:22:29,960
Speaker 3: find the next Krisineti. I think there's just one. There's

1507
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 3: one Cersoneti. It's just and the thing that I love

1508
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,559
Speaker 3: about him too, man, he's just a cocky s ob

1509
01:22:35,800 --> 01:22:37,439
Speaker 3: because he just knows he's a good coach. Like I

1510
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:38,720
Speaker 3: when he you know, when he first time, he was

1511
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:39,400
Speaker 3: like google.

1512
01:22:39,200 --> 01:22:40,439
Speaker 2: Me I win. Yeah.

1513
01:22:40,800 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 3: He went to Indiana, which up until this year was

1514
01:22:42,960 --> 01:22:47,320
Speaker 3: the losingest program in cultural history, and as winning in Indiana,

1515
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:54,759
Speaker 3: they were a touchdown favorite against Alabama and one thirty eight.

1516
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:59,400
Speaker 2: To three, Right, that's Alabama. They destroyed that team, and

1517
01:22:59,520 --> 01:23:02,719
Speaker 2: that they're a bit of a rusty first quarter.

1518
01:23:03,040 --> 01:23:06,120
Speaker 3: Right, and you know, there's so I think there's like

1519
01:23:06,400 --> 01:23:08,400
Speaker 3: a couple of moments in that game that really stand

1520
01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 3: out to me is like why Indiana, you know, is

1521
01:23:11,800 --> 01:23:16,240
Speaker 3: what they are? So Alabama's down ten to nothing and

1522
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 3: their quarterback Ty Simpson is scrambling, right, and he gets

1523
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,599
Speaker 3: a first down but continues to fight for more yards

1524
01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:28,800
Speaker 3: and he ends up fumbling because he gets hit from behind,

1525
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:30,919
Speaker 3: a great hit by the Day, like again like a physical,

1526
01:23:31,160 --> 01:23:33,760
Speaker 3: like tough tackle, right, like a really you know, like

1527
01:23:33,840 --> 01:23:36,800
Speaker 3: that's what Indiana is on defense. And Indiana comes down

1528
01:23:36,800 --> 01:23:41,000
Speaker 3: the field and scores to make it seventeen nothing, and

1529
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 3: like that's what they've done all season, and they've just

1530
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 3: take sort of taken advantage of your mistakes. They forced

1531
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:48,280
Speaker 3: you into mistakes. They don't make the mistakes. They don't

1532
01:23:48,360 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 3: lose games, right, they you lose games because of the

1533
01:23:51,040 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 3: way you play against them, and that play changing the

1534
01:23:54,360 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 3: entire game. You know, Mendoza scrambles a lot. What he

1535
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,600
Speaker 3: doesn't do is get hit, like you know, there's an

1536
01:24:00,680 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 3: art to scrambling, yeah, and then making sure that you

1537
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:07,480
Speaker 3: get down and you don't take those hits, and Mendoza

1538
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 3: is great at that. Like they do the little things

1539
01:24:09,439 --> 01:24:11,919
Speaker 3: really well. And I'm just so impressed.

1540
01:24:11,960 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 2: Man.

1541
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:17,120
Speaker 3: It's a team that historically should not win, but they

1542
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:22,120
Speaker 3: do because they're well coached, they're physical, they're older, they're

1543
01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:24,880
Speaker 3: very patriot as they do their job right, they have

1544
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 3: a job on every play. They all do it to

1545
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:29,760
Speaker 3: the fulls of their of their of their ability and

1546
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:33,879
Speaker 3: so and it's it's just it's so impressive. I'm so impressed.

1547
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:35,840
Speaker 3: Like Organ plays them this week. I did not respect

1548
01:24:35,840 --> 01:24:38,639
Speaker 3: the IDIA enough the first time Organ played them. They're

1549
01:24:38,760 --> 01:24:40,599
Speaker 3: gonna be so hard to beat. You have to play

1550
01:24:40,640 --> 01:24:43,000
Speaker 3: your best game to beat them. In my opinion, you

1551
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,160
Speaker 3: have to. Just it's gonna be very hard. It's gonna

1552
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 3: be very hard to beat them. Were you surprised the

1553
01:24:49,840 --> 01:24:52,639
Speaker 3: line at all Oregon Indiana?

1554
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know.

1555
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 3: I think that I think it gets to six before

1556
01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:01,840
Speaker 3: kickoff anyways. Yeah, like it's four and a half now,

1557
01:25:01,880 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 3: there's some four and a half's out there. I think

1558
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:09,400
Speaker 3: it gets to to six before kickoff. We lost them,

1559
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:12,120
Speaker 3: and they just beat Alabama. I think there's no surprise

1560
01:25:12,120 --> 01:25:17,759
Speaker 3: where where the numbers at. I think for Oregon just personally,

1561
01:25:17,880 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 3: like being the underdog and sort of in the fu

1562
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:22,880
Speaker 3: mode is better for Organ in the long run, Like

1563
01:25:22,960 --> 01:25:25,040
Speaker 3: that's I think where we play best. So maybe this

1564
01:25:25,160 --> 01:25:26,800
Speaker 3: is good for Organ to be the underdog. But I

1565
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 3: think definitely that this number makes sense to me.

1566
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:31,000
Speaker 7: And so.

1567
01:25:33,080 --> 01:25:34,720
Speaker 3: We lost the home by ten the first time we

1568
01:25:34,760 --> 01:25:35,880
Speaker 3: played a terrible game.

1569
01:25:35,960 --> 01:25:36,720
Speaker 2: Now part of that was.

1570
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:40,240
Speaker 3: Indiana dictated the tempo, especially with their defense, so we

1571
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:42,280
Speaker 3: have a lot to improve on there. But you know,

1572
01:25:42,640 --> 01:25:45,439
Speaker 3: we we only allowed three out of forty yards Indiana.

1573
01:25:45,520 --> 01:25:49,280
Speaker 3: The people act like Indiana. They they had they earned

1574
01:25:49,320 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 3: their points against Organ. So we'll see, We'll see how

1575
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,280
Speaker 3: it goes. I'm looking forward to it again. I figure

1576
01:25:54,280 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 3: if I'm gonna go or not. I think I think

1577
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 3: everyone's gonna tell me to go to the game. It's

1578
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:02,160
Speaker 3: I canna drive there, which obviously is hugely makes it much.

1579
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:04,920
Speaker 2: Easier for me to go. Yeah, you gotta go.

1580
01:26:05,160 --> 01:26:06,960
Speaker 3: I don't have anyone to go with, though that's partly

1581
01:26:07,120 --> 01:26:10,720
Speaker 3: that's partly why too. I don't really uh yeah, the guy,

1582
01:26:10,920 --> 01:26:12,320
Speaker 3: one of my buddies I thought I was going to go,

1583
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,639
Speaker 3: can't for this game. I mean, I'm sure that I'll

1584
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:18,000
Speaker 3: have former teammates. I haven't reached out yet because it's

1585
01:26:18,040 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 3: the morning. I'm sure I'll have former teammates there that

1586
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:23,280
Speaker 3: I'll hang out with. But uh, I got to reach

1587
01:26:23,280 --> 01:26:24,800
Speaker 3: out to the school and see what they got going on.

1588
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 2: For for everybody, nobody in your immediate native like in

1589
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:34,160
Speaker 2: your town and Charlotte no Organ fans here. I don't

1590
01:26:34,160 --> 01:26:36,559
Speaker 2: know if you hang you know somebody your boys?

1591
01:26:37,680 --> 01:26:39,479
Speaker 3: Uh well, I mean the thing about it is, I

1592
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 3: mean like if I was in Charlotte anyway, Yo, what

1593
01:26:43,360 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 3: you want to take a ride, I'd be like yeah, man.

1594
01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 3: But here's the thing though, Like if the thing is

1595
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:49,560
Speaker 3: like if Organ, if I tell them coming and they're like,

1596
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 3: you know, they give me like sideline access, and what

1597
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 3: I can't really do that for like non Organ people,

1598
01:26:54,120 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like, that's that's.

1599
01:26:55,040 --> 01:27:02,080
Speaker 2: The only problem. I like that. Man, Maybe I don't.

1600
01:27:02,080 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 2: I don't think.

1601
01:27:02,479 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 3: I don't know if I could get a sidelight pass.

1602
01:27:04,000 --> 01:27:06,400
Speaker 3: I mean I'm on the low end of the totem

1603
01:27:06,439 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 3: pole for people that are going to request sideline passes

1604
01:27:09,240 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 3: for the type of game. So but we'll see what happens.

1605
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:13,559
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens.

1606
01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:15,760
Speaker 2: Well, you're close. I think you got a shot.

1607
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:18,200
Speaker 3: I can also get all I can also do get

1608
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:20,120
Speaker 3: a media pass and being then wanted too. So that's

1609
01:27:20,160 --> 01:27:21,920
Speaker 3: not a big deal that that actually is at least

1610
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:24,599
Speaker 3: of my concerns. I just want to have good seats,

1611
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 3: enjoy with some friends. So we'll see see what ends

1612
01:27:26,720 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 3: up happening. I had a buddy who had a buddy

1613
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:32,120
Speaker 3: text me Friday when didn organ play Organ play Thursday? No,

1614
01:27:32,160 --> 01:27:35,920
Speaker 3: he text me Wednesday, he goes, I'm flying red Eye

1615
01:27:36,080 --> 01:27:38,080
Speaker 3: to go to Miami to watch organ play. You should

1616
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:40,920
Speaker 3: come with Mega. I can't just show up red Eye

1617
01:27:41,160 --> 01:27:43,200
Speaker 3: the next day. I got I got a life, man,

1618
01:27:43,560 --> 01:27:45,840
Speaker 3: Yeah you got kids like yo, you got when you

1619
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:48,840
Speaker 3: got a family like you can't just roll. I can't

1620
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:53,240
Speaker 3: just bounce like that. But yeah, obviously, you know, will

1621
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:54,960
Speaker 3: be a ton of fun if I can go. And uh,

1622
01:27:55,840 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 3: I just I don't know, but I think it's gonna

1623
01:27:58,479 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 3: be so hard to beat this team. It be fun

1624
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 3: to be a person if we beat that, But if

1625
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 3: we lose, that takes the fun out of going. Obviously,

1626
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:09,040
Speaker 3: And in the other game, it was funny. I felt

1627
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:12,559
Speaker 3: the game would be a pick. In Miami's three.

1628
01:28:14,280 --> 01:28:17,080
Speaker 2: I like, I like all thisss. Man, I don't know.

1629
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 2: I got caught. You know, I've I've I haven't learned

1630
01:28:20,320 --> 01:28:24,000
Speaker 2: my lessons with Miami yet. As great as your defense is,

1631
01:28:24,520 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 2: I still don't believe in their offense. Really yeah, I

1632
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:31,880
Speaker 2: mean they can run the ball. They grounded it out

1633
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 2: like they ran the ball. I just I don't like

1634
01:28:34,800 --> 01:28:40,960
Speaker 2: beck oh Man. He played well, he did. I think

1635
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 2: they Fletcher played great.

1636
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 3: I think that Miami's at the point where they just

1637
01:28:45,960 --> 01:28:49,720
Speaker 3: sort of had made back a game manager, and he's

1638
01:28:49,760 --> 01:28:50,640
Speaker 3: doing a really good job of it.

1639
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:56,120
Speaker 2: I mean played, we played well against Ohio State. I

1640
01:28:56,200 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 2: mean he did nothing with the week before. I think

1641
01:28:58,479 --> 01:28:58,720
Speaker 2: if you.

1642
01:28:58,960 --> 01:29:03,000
Speaker 3: If you turn my Emmy into having to throw the ball,

1643
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:04,920
Speaker 3: they won't be as good an offense. But I don't

1644
01:29:04,920 --> 01:29:09,840
Speaker 3: think Old Miss can do that. Wait, No, their defense,

1645
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,120
Speaker 3: I think I think Indian I think Indiana Oregon can try,

1646
01:29:12,960 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 3: but I don't think I Old Miss defense is not

1647
01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 3: Their defense is not good.

1648
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:24,040
Speaker 2: No, but I mean it's not good. But I don't

1649
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:26,240
Speaker 2: think the like see, I don't believe in the passing

1650
01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:29,320
Speaker 2: game in Miami passing game so right, but if you

1651
01:29:29,439 --> 01:29:31,679
Speaker 2: got to stop Fletcher, you have to stop the run

1652
01:29:31,840 --> 01:29:34,800
Speaker 2: to force Miami to pass the ball, right right, I

1653
01:29:34,840 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: don't know.

1654
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:38,080
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, that's that's what That's sort of

1655
01:29:38,120 --> 01:29:39,560
Speaker 3: my point. I don't think oh Miss can do that,

1656
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 3: and so I don't know. I'm on theory, but I

1657
01:29:42,320 --> 01:29:45,000
Speaker 3: just don't think it can happen. I mean, it's not

1658
01:29:45,120 --> 01:29:46,400
Speaker 3: the Pony Express now.

1659
01:29:48,479 --> 01:29:53,560
Speaker 2: Sure. I mean, yeah, you know this is my I mean, like,

1660
01:29:53,720 --> 01:29:56,600
Speaker 2: let's not get it twisted like gent last year was

1661
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:04,360
Speaker 2: better than well, I'm just I'm just looking for run

1662
01:30:04,439 --> 01:30:08,080
Speaker 2: games look like powerful run games. Yeah yeah, I mean

1663
01:30:08,120 --> 01:30:10,720
Speaker 2: I and I look at Miami's run game like like

1664
01:30:10,840 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 2: to me, Miami's brilliance is it's just that defense is unbelievable. Right,

1665
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:20,320
Speaker 2: But I'm curious to say if Old Miss can move

1666
01:30:20,400 --> 01:30:24,240
Speaker 2: the ball, because that's that that to means where the

1667
01:30:24,280 --> 01:30:29,840
Speaker 2: game gets decided. I think they probably can a little bit.

1668
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:32,400
Speaker 3: The problem I have with sort of like the Old

1669
01:30:32,479 --> 01:30:36,439
Speaker 3: Miss offensive design is that I just don't love it

1670
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,080
Speaker 3: against better defenses. Like it's it's a it's a fun

1671
01:30:39,160 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 3: offense to run, but like you start getting some of

1672
01:30:41,840 --> 01:30:43,760
Speaker 3: these three and outs and like you just get kind

1673
01:30:43,800 --> 01:30:46,560
Speaker 3: of just get crushed with like tempo and it's not

1674
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:48,320
Speaker 3: it's an issue.

1675
01:30:51,479 --> 01:30:54,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. I'm curious. I just I want

1676
01:30:54,400 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 2: to say it because I think that's how the games

1677
01:30:56,479 --> 01:31:00,600
Speaker 2: gets decided, Like if the way Chambles is playing and

1678
01:31:01,400 --> 01:31:05,280
Speaker 2: the way that uh, Stacey Man, it's stasty, random hard.

1679
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:10,439
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no, it's it's a it's a there, it's

1680
01:31:10,520 --> 01:31:14,720
Speaker 3: a legitimate offense. I I I just I don't know

1681
01:31:14,840 --> 01:31:17,880
Speaker 3: if it's that they're they're good enough to beat Miami.

1682
01:31:18,000 --> 01:31:20,080
Speaker 3: I just don't know. I just don't We'll find out, obviously.

1683
01:31:20,479 --> 01:31:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm a high on old Miss. I don't think that

1684
01:31:23,280 --> 01:31:23,799
Speaker 3: that they're.

1685
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,880
Speaker 2: They're a great story. I root for him, the great story.

1686
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,960
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna win, though, Yeah, they're, They're

1687
01:31:32,000 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 2: the whole thing. It's like he leaves and they're gonna

1688
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,320
Speaker 2: be in it and they're in the final four. It's unbelievable.

1689
01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:43,040
Speaker 2: It's wild that Layne left. I don't think Lane thought

1690
01:31:43,040 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 2: this was a good this as possible. I think he

1691
01:31:44,400 --> 01:31:46,599
Speaker 2: might have stayed that he thought this was possible. Well,

1692
01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:50,320
Speaker 2: like shame on him though, and then you didn't realize

1693
01:31:50,360 --> 01:31:53,640
Speaker 2: that your team was that good. Do you think that.

1694
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 3: L s you will ever get to a semi final

1695
01:31:56,920 --> 01:31:57,400
Speaker 3: under Lane?

1696
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:02,439
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not gonna say no. I don't think

1697
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 2: I see it. I think I I why would you

1698
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:09,840
Speaker 2: say no? I bet against it? Why because it's just

1699
01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:10,600
Speaker 2: hard to do it?

1700
01:32:10,680 --> 01:32:13,320
Speaker 3: Or you think I think it's hard to do There's

1701
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:15,400
Speaker 3: so there's so much pressure on Length to make this happen.

1702
01:32:16,800 --> 01:32:18,160
Speaker 3: I mean, do you give him do you does he

1703
01:32:18,240 --> 01:32:20,120
Speaker 3: get the credit for the team being in the Seer's

1704
01:32:20,160 --> 01:32:21,200
Speaker 3: Peak Gold and get the credit.

1705
01:32:22,360 --> 01:32:26,639
Speaker 2: No, he doesn't get all the credit, but he gets

1706
01:32:26,720 --> 01:32:28,960
Speaker 2: he gets a good share of it because I.

1707
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:30,840
Speaker 3: Mean he had until this point he had made the

1708
01:32:30,880 --> 01:32:33,800
Speaker 3: playoff once and had not won a playoff. He still

1709
01:32:33,800 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 3: don't want a playoff game technically as a coach, like

1710
01:32:35,760 --> 01:32:36,960
Speaker 3: I just don't like Yeah.

1711
01:32:37,760 --> 01:32:41,240
Speaker 2: Like look where he was, like you know, I mean,

1712
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:45,800
Speaker 2: now now he goes to l s U and we're

1713
01:32:45,880 --> 01:32:51,880
Speaker 2: gonna have like if Chambliss follows him, which we think

1714
01:32:51,960 --> 01:32:54,559
Speaker 2: will happen, he gets granted that next that extra year

1715
01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 2: he might he might be a first round draft pick

1716
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,519
Speaker 2: at this point with the quarterback market the way it is, though,

1717
01:32:58,640 --> 01:33:04,280
Speaker 2: I know, but would say he stays and goes to LSU. Well,

1718
01:33:04,360 --> 01:33:06,880
Speaker 2: they're not all of a sudden you look at it

1719
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:10,639
Speaker 2: the way that what they're doing, I could totally see

1720
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:11,800
Speaker 2: them making a run next year.

1721
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just I think you're higher on Lane than

1722
01:33:16,160 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 3: I am as a coach.

1723
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:22,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm not telling you he's sabing. I'm just

1724
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:25,960
Speaker 2: telling you that he's a good coach and if he

1725
01:33:26,160 --> 01:33:28,720
Speaker 2: shouldn't being at LSU, where you're gonna have all the

1726
01:33:28,800 --> 01:33:31,120
Speaker 2: money in the world. Isn't that why he went He

1727
01:33:31,200 --> 01:33:33,680
Speaker 2: went there in the first place because he's gonna have

1728
01:33:34,439 --> 01:33:38,040
Speaker 2: the resources for roster and coaching staff.

1729
01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's why he went there. Yeah, okay, so you know, I.

1730
01:33:44,080 --> 01:33:47,760
Speaker 2: Mean, you're giving a good coach all those resources. I

1731
01:33:47,800 --> 01:33:51,040
Speaker 2: don't know why you Wouldn't you think he's that bad

1732
01:33:51,080 --> 01:33:51,559
Speaker 2: of a coach.

1733
01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 3: No, I think it's hard to making a semi final.

1734
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,120
Speaker 3: I just I'm curious if you so you think he'll

1735
01:33:56,160 --> 01:33:57,720
Speaker 3: make a semi final? How many years do you think

1736
01:33:57,720 --> 01:33:59,000
Speaker 3: he'll take him to get to know?

1737
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:02,800
Speaker 2: Dude, I gotta you, But I just think if you

1738
01:34:02,960 --> 01:34:06,400
Speaker 2: just look at it, logically, he's going to get talent.

1739
01:34:07,240 --> 01:34:10,280
Speaker 2: He's going to get so he's good, His roster will

1740
01:34:10,360 --> 01:34:12,840
Speaker 2: be good, will be great. It should be better, correct

1741
01:34:13,200 --> 01:34:15,920
Speaker 2: because they're paying for it, right, like they're they're paying

1742
01:34:16,000 --> 01:34:18,800
Speaker 2: for it. So and he's gonna have all the resources

1743
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:23,080
Speaker 2: on the coaching stand endless coaches. I mean, yeah, I

1744
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:25,280
Speaker 2: want to say less coaches, but but no, but you

1745
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:28,839
Speaker 2: get my point. Like again, you left Old Miss for LSU.

1746
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:37,639
Speaker 2: LSU will have what's LSU top four, top three and resources? Uh? Yeah,

1747
01:34:37,720 --> 01:34:41,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's okay, it's the number is moving for resources.

1748
01:34:41,400 --> 01:34:44,120
Speaker 2: But they're one of the best. Yes, all right, so

1749
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:49,160
Speaker 2: logically speaking, a good coach with all those resources in

1750
01:34:49,240 --> 01:34:53,960
Speaker 2: the story program. I mean, I don't know why you

1751
01:34:53,960 --> 01:34:57,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't say it would make of they can't make him final.

1752
01:34:57,880 --> 01:35:00,560
Speaker 3: Cam, just asking do you think he'll get Yeah, I do.

1753
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:04,000
Speaker 2: I mean, just judging off those those two facts, I

1754
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:09,120
Speaker 2: don't know why you wouldn't believe that unless you think

1755
01:35:09,160 --> 01:35:12,479
Speaker 2: he's that, unless you think he's not a good coach,

1756
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:15,479
Speaker 2: or he's overrated or whatever how you want to call him.

1757
01:35:15,840 --> 01:35:18,320
Speaker 3: I'm I'm just curious if he gets if he I'm

1758
01:35:18,320 --> 01:35:19,439
Speaker 3: not saying you should have left all the Miss. I

1759
01:35:19,439 --> 01:35:20,880
Speaker 3: think should have left all Miss. But my question is

1760
01:35:20,920 --> 01:35:23,120
Speaker 3: do you think, just like like, do you think he's

1761
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:24,880
Speaker 3: gonna get to this point of old miss? And it's

1762
01:35:25,400 --> 01:35:29,439
Speaker 3: a very it's a great it's nuts. It just we're

1763
01:35:29,479 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 3: seeing I think the SEC is not as good as

1764
01:35:32,120 --> 01:35:34,840
Speaker 3: it used to be. I'm not saying they can't moving forward,

1765
01:35:35,439 --> 01:35:37,599
Speaker 3: which really people have a really hard time with It's

1766
01:35:37,640 --> 01:35:39,479
Speaker 3: so funny to see the people being such a hard

1767
01:35:39,520 --> 01:35:42,040
Speaker 3: time with this. But ni L and Portal have basically

1768
01:35:42,080 --> 01:35:44,559
Speaker 3: made the SEC worse people, it's such a hard time.

1769
01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,800
Speaker 3: It's I I love it, dude, It's it warms my heart.

1770
01:35:48,439 --> 01:35:50,759
Speaker 3: The Big Tan is gonna have a third straight season

1771
01:35:50,880 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 3: with a team in the championship game. If can you

1772
01:35:54,080 --> 01:35:59,320
Speaker 3: imagine again, like if Miami wins no SEC team in

1773
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 3: the championship, Oh, that's it's gonna be. It's gonna be

1774
01:36:04,200 --> 01:36:06,040
Speaker 3: because people have built their entire careers just saying that

1775
01:36:06,040 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 3: the SEC is the best conference ever and now you

1776
01:36:08,120 --> 01:36:10,679
Speaker 3: can't do that anymore. So kind of kind of funny

1777
01:36:10,720 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 3: that it's.

1778
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:15,200
Speaker 2: Gonna play now. Well, I mean, we love it.

1779
01:36:15,400 --> 01:36:17,320
Speaker 3: We got guys on TV talking about they don't want

1780
01:36:17,360 --> 01:36:19,560
Speaker 3: to watch Indiana play. They rather watch the bottom of

1781
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 3: the SEC play. Come on, man, Indiana, Indiana is. Indiana

1782
01:36:24,800 --> 01:36:28,120
Speaker 3: is like what you say you want in football, right,

1783
01:36:28,720 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 3: you want a well coached, tough team like that. Like

1784
01:36:31,200 --> 01:36:34,080
Speaker 3: they're they're exactly what you claim you want in a

1785
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:34,920
Speaker 3: college football team.

1786
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, are you kidding me?

1787
01:36:38,040 --> 01:36:41,160
Speaker 3: I I Indiana's fantastic story, man, I love it. And

1788
01:36:41,240 --> 01:36:42,200
Speaker 3: they might have my ducks.

1789
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:45,920
Speaker 2: Yeah they are, They're a great story. I got a

1790
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:52,600
Speaker 2: question for you of a college violation question. Okay, so

1791
01:36:54,640 --> 01:37:00,400
Speaker 2: the Nebraska basketball one again. Last night I saw they

1792
01:37:00,479 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 2: beat Michigan State and they stormed the court. I had

1793
01:37:04,479 --> 01:37:07,800
Speaker 2: a minus too. They pushed, okay, all right, well they

1794
01:37:07,960 --> 01:37:11,280
Speaker 2: they want it was a huge win, right they're fourteen

1795
01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:14,400
Speaker 2: and oh all right, like they're this is the brand.

1796
01:37:14,720 --> 01:37:17,400
Speaker 2: I was teasing Matt. I mean, I'm like, you gotta

1797
01:37:17,439 --> 01:37:23,160
Speaker 2: worry about basketball now. Uh you have women's volleyball and basketball,

1798
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,800
Speaker 2: so the football program has got to get in order. Uh,

1799
01:37:28,280 --> 01:37:34,120
Speaker 2: stop storming the court, is the message? Hey, because they've

1800
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:37,320
Speaker 2: been storming the court now and they have to say,

1801
01:37:37,400 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 2: like now now it's over. I think. So the problem

1802
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:45,320
Speaker 2: here's the problem. The problem is that.

1803
01:37:47,280 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 3: People storm the court too often when they shouldn't have.

1804
01:37:49,800 --> 01:37:51,439
Speaker 3: And now it's led to a band of storming the

1805
01:37:51,479 --> 01:37:54,640
Speaker 3: court when you should storm the court. Like that's the problem, right,

1806
01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:58,280
Speaker 3: Like you beat I think Michigan Sate was twelve last night,

1807
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:00,000
Speaker 3: Like yeah, that's a court storre.

1808
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 2: Okay, there were nine, okay, number nine.

1809
01:38:04,280 --> 01:38:07,759
Speaker 3: But the problem is there's thirty, but Nebraska is number thirteen.

1810
01:38:08,720 --> 01:38:10,400
Speaker 3: I know, but this is this is a big deal

1811
01:38:10,439 --> 01:38:12,280
Speaker 3: for them, right to beat Michigan State like a.

1812
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,160
Speaker 2: Team that will it is.

1813
01:38:14,360 --> 01:38:18,639
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's very big By the way, Michigan right now

1814
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:23,519
Speaker 3: is absolute runaway freight train. They they are number two

1815
01:38:23,520 --> 01:38:26,840
Speaker 3: in the country. They were favored over US yesterday, who

1816
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 3: was ranked in the top twenty five, by twenty two points.

1817
01:38:30,240 --> 01:38:32,160
Speaker 2: Yea. And they won by thirty.

1818
01:38:32,600 --> 01:38:37,040
Speaker 3: Yeah they were by they were not. They were ninety

1819
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:39,960
Speaker 3: six to sixty. They scored ninety points. Like every game

1820
01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 3: floor man, Yeah, it's wild. How good Michigan is. I

1821
01:38:46,920 --> 01:38:50,120
Speaker 3: think you should reserve court storming for very few and

1822
01:38:50,240 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 3: far between times and Michigan State. I sort of get

1823
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 3: one to storm the court. Nebraska schedule so they have

1824
01:38:57,640 --> 01:39:00,720
Speaker 3: like they play at Michigan, they host Illino home. I'm

1825
01:39:00,720 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 3: talking about rank team right now. They got Okay, pur

1826
01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 3: do at home. Okay, producering five. You can storm the

1827
01:39:05,240 --> 01:39:07,360

1855
01:40:59,360 --> 01:41:01,839
Speaker 2: love it. We miss you last week while you were traveling.

1856
01:41:02,240 --> 01:41:06,680
Speaker 2: So great to have you u. First initial thoughts on

1857
01:41:06,800 --> 01:41:08,000
Speaker 2: the college football.

1858
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:13,240
Speaker 6: Playoffs It well, Andy, I got the Texas Tech Oregon

1859
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:16,800
Speaker 6: game completely wrong. I really thought Texas Tech was going

1860
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:19,080
Speaker 6: to win that game. I was had a great plying

1861
01:41:19,200 --> 01:41:22,920
Speaker 6: based on closing line value, but man, Oregon absolutely took

1862
01:41:22,960 --> 01:41:25,920
Speaker 6: them to the woodshed. Did not see that coming. Very

1863
01:41:25,920 --> 01:41:30,680
Speaker 6: impressive performance from them. I thought Indiana would smoke Alabama.

1864
01:41:30,880 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 2: They did.

1865
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:35,680
Speaker 6: Not a vintage Alabama team. The surprised, it really was

1866
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:39,080
Speaker 6: surprised that Miami won the way they did. I know

1867
01:41:39,160 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 6: their defense is good, but I just really not a

1868
01:41:41,479 --> 01:41:44,040
Speaker 6: fan of Carson Beck at all. But you know what,

1869
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:44,920
Speaker 6: they give them credit.

1870
01:41:45,160 --> 01:41:47,879
Speaker 2: I said the same thing like an hour earlier.

1871
01:41:49,200 --> 01:41:51,559
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, they really did outplay They deserve to win.

1872
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,880
Speaker 6: And then the game that I this was one of

1873
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 6: my best live betting games on my life. I lied

1874
01:41:58,640 --> 01:42:01,800
Speaker 6: that Mississippi for a lot of money watching that game

1875
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:04,880
Speaker 6: against Georgia when they were losing, which was the key,

1876
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:07,479
Speaker 6: because I thought they were dominating the game and just

1877
01:42:07,720 --> 01:42:11,479
Speaker 6: every fluke was going against them known to God, and

1878
01:42:11,600 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 6: I was incredibly impressed with Chambliss. I think that's going

1879
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,479
Speaker 6: to be I love them against Miami. It's gonna be

1880
01:42:17,520 --> 01:42:20,680
Speaker 6: one of my biggest bets of the year. I think

1881
01:42:20,720 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 6: it's gonna be Miami. I'm sorry, I think it's going

1882
01:42:22,400 --> 01:42:26,240
Speaker 6: to be Mississippi against Indiana and the finals feel pretty

1883
01:42:26,280 --> 01:42:27,800
Speaker 6: confident about it. We'll see how it plays out.

1884
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:29,600
Speaker 2: Oh wow, I like.

1885
01:42:29,640 --> 01:42:31,719
Speaker 3: Miami that game at least, at least at the moment.

1886
01:42:33,240 --> 01:42:35,479
Speaker 6: This is yeah, Jeff, why do you like my because

1887
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 6: it's I mean, I know my Ormless's defense isn't great,

1888
01:42:38,920 --> 01:42:43,760
Speaker 6: but I trust their offense at ten always. Look, I

1889
01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:46,600
Speaker 6: think we're in a world, Jeff Wards. I'd much rat

1890
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:48,200
Speaker 6: to have a good offense and a good defense in

1891
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:50,479
Speaker 6: this world of football that we play in in twenty

1892
01:42:50,600 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 6: twenty six. And I think Miami's offense is pretty poor.

1893
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 6: And I I think Chambliss right now is watching him.

1894
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:02,479
Speaker 6: I know Mandilism won in the higman Uh. To me,

1895
01:43:02,600 --> 01:43:04,599
Speaker 6: he looks by a mile the best player in college

1896
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:05,280
Speaker 6: football to me.

1897
01:43:05,560 --> 01:43:06,200
Speaker 2: Not that I'm right.

1898
01:43:07,360 --> 01:43:13,400
Speaker 3: I I don't love the old miss style of offense

1899
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:19,759
Speaker 3: against the Miami defense. Look, I just I've had problems

1900
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:21,280
Speaker 3: with that style of offense for a while now. I

1901
01:43:21,320 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 3: think Texas Tech got into issues with that style of

1902
01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:28,240
Speaker 3: offense against Oregon. And if it comes down to Chamblis

1903
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:30,280
Speaker 3: having to make like wild and crazy plays, I don't

1904
01:43:30,360 --> 01:43:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't love that. And I think that Miami will

1905
01:43:33,240 --> 01:43:35,519
Speaker 3: be able to run the ball and control the game

1906
01:43:37,880 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 3: against that Old Miss defense. I just I think that's

1907
01:43:41,479 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 3: my concern. So well, no, obviously Old Miss contempo would

1908
01:43:45,520 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 3: They'll try to tempo Miami's defense and make them tired,

1909
01:43:48,840 --> 01:43:50,439
Speaker 3: which organ by the way, to try to it didn't

1910
01:43:50,439 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 3: really work very well either. So that's my concern in

1911
01:43:53,080 --> 01:43:55,639
Speaker 3: this game is that I just think that that Old

1912
01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:59,200
Speaker 3: Miss style of offense, that sort of up tempo, run

1913
01:43:59,280 --> 01:44:03,040
Speaker 3: and shoot ish type offense, doesn't do well in these

1914
01:44:03,080 --> 01:44:04,360
Speaker 3: type of games good defenses.

1915
01:44:04,439 --> 01:44:08,720
Speaker 6: I mean, look in my power ratings, I have Mississippi

1916
01:44:09,160 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 6: two and a half points better than Miami. But I

1917
01:44:11,240 --> 01:44:13,280
Speaker 6: knew that myb was on an island with that, and

1918
01:44:13,360 --> 01:44:15,640
Speaker 6: I thought I'd beginning to the fact that's three and

1919
01:44:15,680 --> 01:44:19,719
Speaker 6: a half. I again, I was to say, I feel

1920
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:22,639
Speaker 6: like I'm in Disneyland as a little kid. I did

1921
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:24,920
Speaker 6: not believe the line was that high. I think that's

1922
01:44:24,920 --> 01:44:25,759
Speaker 6: a crazy line.

1923
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:29,559
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny, I said that, Jeff. I thought

1924
01:44:29,640 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 2: the line was going to be a pick, right, that's

1925
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:37,080
Speaker 2: the right hal It's funny. You and I didn't speak

1926
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 2: about these games, and I'm sure Jeff is like, what

1927
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,400
Speaker 2: the hell is an echo chamber? No, I said the

1928
01:44:43,520 --> 01:44:48,560
Speaker 2: same thing can I ask you, So I have a

1929
01:44:48,640 --> 01:44:50,200
Speaker 2: I have a power rating.

1930
01:44:51,479 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 3: Question for you, sort of power rating s P plus

1931
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:57,760
Speaker 3: like NFL DV aways stuff like that. So I have

1932
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:02,639
Speaker 3: felt that the numbers have been wrong this year more

1933
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:07,519
Speaker 3: than other years, and for college football specifically. You know,

1934
01:45:07,560 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 3: I think we're moving to more of an NFL model

1935
01:45:10,160 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 3: of thinking, where like I'll give you Organ for example, right.

1936
01:45:12,720 --> 01:45:13,679
Speaker 2: Because I know that program.

1937
01:45:13,800 --> 01:45:18,479
Speaker 3: Well, everything Oregon did this season was to play well

1938
01:45:19,160 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 3: on Thursday, Like that was the entire goal of the

1939
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:25,560
Speaker 3: whole season. So they planned their season for that, and

1940
01:45:25,680 --> 01:45:27,880
Speaker 3: so what happened between week to one and week twelve

1941
01:45:28,640 --> 01:45:30,960
Speaker 3: was to do the best they could to get to

1942
01:45:31,120 --> 01:45:32,360
Speaker 3: week to January first.

1943
01:45:33,080 --> 01:45:33,360
Speaker 2: And so.

1944
01:45:34,920 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 3: With that mindset of like I think Ohio State planned

1945
01:45:37,200 --> 01:45:40,840
Speaker 3: that way, Oregon did, Georgia, like all the championship caliber

1946
01:45:40,920 --> 01:45:44,519
Speaker 3: teams planned that way. Does that affect the power raisings

1947
01:45:44,560 --> 01:45:47,160
Speaker 3: because like they're not really trying for style points anymore.

1948
01:45:47,200 --> 01:45:50,080
Speaker 2: They like just win by a point and move on

1949
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:50,880
Speaker 2: to the next game.

1950
01:45:51,400 --> 01:45:55,839
Speaker 3: I feel like that has to affect SP plus power rankings,

1951
01:45:55,960 --> 01:45:58,559
Speaker 3: like because I you know it just in competition matters,

1952
01:45:58,600 --> 01:46:01,720
Speaker 3: like Texas Tech just hadn't played Organ yet. And so yeah,

1953
01:46:01,840 --> 01:46:06,000
Speaker 3: I feel like there has to be an adjustment moving

1954
01:46:06,040 --> 01:46:09,120
Speaker 3: forward with college football. Do you agree with that premise?

1955
01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:12,519
Speaker 6: No, I think it's a very interesting premise what you're saying, Jeff,

1956
01:46:12,520 --> 01:46:14,560
Speaker 6: I absolutely do, and I think a lot of it

1957
01:46:14,720 --> 01:46:17,760
Speaker 6: has validity because listen, a lot of it is just

1958
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,560
Speaker 6: people go The first of all, recency bias can be

1959
01:46:20,680 --> 01:46:23,439
Speaker 6: so prevalent. People just go by what they last saw

1960
01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,479
Speaker 6: and that becomes everything and things just get erased from that.

1961
01:46:27,560 --> 01:46:29,000
Speaker 6: But then again, Jeff, I've also seen it in the

1962
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:32,640
Speaker 6: NFL where it's too slow to adjust, and Anthony can

1963
01:46:32,720 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 6: attest to this. My favorite example ever, and I mean ever,

1964
01:46:36,840 --> 01:46:39,400
Speaker 6: was the Eagles from two years ago when they started

1965
01:46:39,439 --> 01:46:41,920
Speaker 6: off kind of a fake ten and two. I mean

1966
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:44,040
Speaker 6: they were winning every game by like barely, and they

1967
01:46:44,680 --> 01:46:47,240
Speaker 6: and then they lost their last four games or five

1968
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:49,720
Speaker 6: games of the year, and they were still favorite at

1969
01:46:49,800 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 6: Tampa Bay. And it come at that point of the year,

1970
01:46:52,760 --> 01:46:55,360
Speaker 6: I thought they were literally a bottom five team. They

1971
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:58,040
Speaker 6: were losing the worst teams in the NFL by four

1972
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:01,400
Speaker 6: touchdowns and I don't think the our ratings adjusted enough

1973
01:47:01,439 --> 01:47:04,120
Speaker 6: to how bad they've become towards the end of the year.

1974
01:47:04,600 --> 01:47:08,800
Speaker 6: So I think, yeah, sometimes these power ratings are not

1975
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:13,080
Speaker 6: properly adjusted. Where sometimes it people just don't adjust properly,

1976
01:47:13,360 --> 01:47:15,719
Speaker 6: whether it's too high or too low, depending on the situation.

1977
01:47:17,040 --> 01:47:20,720
Speaker 3: So Oregon Indiana numbers four four and a half, I

1978
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:22,400
Speaker 3: think it gets the six. I think that people are

1979
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:24,120
Speaker 3: gonna hammer Indiana. That's probably the first time ever the

1980
01:47:24,160 --> 01:47:26,960
Speaker 3: books in the organ to win a game. What are

1981
01:47:27,000 --> 01:47:28,439
Speaker 3: your early takes. I think it's gonna be hard to

1982
01:47:28,479 --> 01:47:29,599
Speaker 3: be Indiana. I'm not gonna lie.

1983
01:47:29,960 --> 01:47:33,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought the line should have been four to

1984
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 6: four and a half. That's what it came in at.

1985
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:37,680
Speaker 6: That's what my numbers had that lean Indiana. I think

1986
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:39,880
Speaker 6: Indiana is the better team. I think Indiana no again.

1987
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 6: First time they played, Jeff I had I bet Oregon

1988
01:47:42,360 --> 01:47:45,320
Speaker 6: really liked the Oregon in the game. I quickly when

1989
01:47:45,360 --> 01:47:48,240
Speaker 6: I watched the game, I lied that Indiana because I

1990
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:51,360
Speaker 6: knew I was on the wrong side, and I switched courses.

1991
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:54,880
Speaker 6: That was a very impressive performance to me that day

1992
01:47:54,920 --> 01:47:58,679
Speaker 6: by Indiana. Now, Oregon seems like they've wrted the ship

1993
01:47:58,720 --> 01:48:02,479
Speaker 6: and they've played better as of eight. Really respect Landing

1994
01:48:02,520 --> 01:48:05,760
Speaker 6: as a coach, respect the program more. I just talked

1995
01:48:05,800 --> 01:48:08,080
Speaker 6: about how I thought right now, Chadlis is the best

1996
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:10,519
Speaker 6: player in college and I do, but I think Moore

1997
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 6: is right up there. I mean he's playing really well

1998
01:48:12,560 --> 01:48:15,839
Speaker 6: as well. I think it'll be a hard game for Indiana,

1999
01:48:16,040 --> 01:48:19,880
Speaker 6: lower scoring game, but I really do think Indiana will

2000
01:48:19,960 --> 01:48:21,680
Speaker 6: find a way to win the game. I'm usually not

2001
01:48:21,800 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 6: a money line kind of player versus the points a

2002
01:48:24,400 --> 01:48:27,080
Speaker 6: lot of times, but I do think I think Indiana

2003
01:48:27,160 --> 01:48:28,439
Speaker 6: is gonna find a way to win the game, whether

2004
01:48:28,479 --> 01:48:31,200
Speaker 6: it's by one, by two, by three, by six. I

2005
01:48:31,280 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 6: think Indiana will find a way to win the game

2006
01:48:33,479 --> 01:48:35,280
Speaker 6: because I trust them a little bit more on both

2007
01:48:35,320 --> 01:48:36,880
Speaker 6: sides of the ball. But I think it'll be very

2008
01:48:36,920 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 6: difficult and Indiana, I mean Oregon, as you said, Jeff,

2009
01:48:39,840 --> 01:48:42,000
Speaker 6: clearly maybe peaking right now. So I'm sure it's gonna

2010
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:44,559
Speaker 6: be a tough game, much harder than the Alabama game.

2011
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:48,120
Speaker 6: Alabama was completely fake this year, didn't deserve to make

2012
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:53,240
Speaker 6: the tournament, got in by politics, and you saw that

2013
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:54,560
Speaker 6: they were completely outclassed.

2014
01:48:55,439 --> 01:48:59,439
Speaker 2: All right, let's switch real quick because we do a

2015
01:48:59,600 --> 01:49:01,920
Speaker 2: lot to cover with the NFL. So let's look at

2016
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 2: today's games. First, Tampa Carolina. It's not Atlanta can still

2017
01:49:08,680 --> 01:49:12,000
Speaker 2: spoil Tampa's party of Tampa wins, But how do you

2018
01:49:12,040 --> 01:49:12,800
Speaker 2: look at that game?

2019
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:17,320
Speaker 6: You know it's funny, Anthony, Jeff, I've been, as you

2020
01:49:17,400 --> 01:49:19,280
Speaker 6: probably know, every single week, I've been taking against Tampa

2021
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:21,520
Speaker 6: Bay left right and up the middle, and it's been successful.

2022
01:49:22,080 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 6: But it's interesting. Just two weeks ago, guys, two weeks ago,

2023
01:49:25,479 --> 01:49:27,040
Speaker 6: this line, now it's up to say it was two

2024
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:29,000
Speaker 6: and a half. But this line, they were laying three

2025
01:49:29,040 --> 01:49:32,800
Speaker 6: at Carolina. Now they're laying three in Tampa Bay. And

2026
01:49:32,880 --> 01:49:37,040
Speaker 6: I'm like, huh okay. I mean, while I loved Carolina

2027
01:49:37,360 --> 01:49:40,240
Speaker 6: getting three at home, now I like Tampa Bay lane.

2028
01:49:41,120 --> 01:49:42,680
Speaker 6: The two and a half was the real bet. But

2029
01:49:43,040 --> 01:49:45,040
Speaker 6: even laye three, I think Tampa Bay as bad as

2030
01:49:45,040 --> 01:49:47,920
Speaker 6: they've been playing, Jeff, Anthony, I think Campay is the

2031
01:49:47,960 --> 01:49:50,879
Speaker 6: right side here. Tampa is gonna win this game, oh.

2032
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 2: So bad right now.

2033
01:49:55,800 --> 01:49:57,840
Speaker 3: I haven't made a play in this game, but I

2034
01:49:58,920 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 3: don't know, man.

2035
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 2: I mean two and a half.

2036
01:50:00,720 --> 01:50:03,200
Speaker 6: I laid a little minus a dollar twenty eight with

2037
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:04,320
Speaker 6: the money line when it was one.

2038
01:50:04,880 --> 01:50:08,639
Speaker 3: But if we get good Panthers, that's different than Batman.

2039
01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:10,759
Speaker 3: The good Panthers team I think wins, but bad. Panthers

2040
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:13,400
Speaker 3: has been pretty bad go into the night game. I

2041
01:50:13,520 --> 01:50:16,040
Speaker 3: want to find Sam Darnald the worst way. But Niners

2042
01:50:16,160 --> 01:50:19,360
Speaker 3: defense is just not good right now. I like Seattle's

2043
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:20,960
Speaker 3: team total over twenty four and a half. I think

2044
01:50:20,960 --> 01:50:22,880
Speaker 3: they scored a ton of points in this game. What

2045
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:23,720
Speaker 3: do you like in this one?

2046
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:24,200
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2047
01:50:24,320 --> 01:50:27,320
Speaker 6: You know, this is a big game for me personally,

2048
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:30,559
Speaker 6: A zillion dollars on Seattle to win the division.

2049
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:31,120
Speaker 2: So I.

2050
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,000
Speaker 6: Laid off a decent amount and took some and had

2051
01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:38,560
Speaker 6: some of this off. I think it's tough game. I

2052
01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:41,400
Speaker 6: think Seattle's going to win a close game. I think

2053
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,400
Speaker 6: the game will be tight. I think will be competitive.

2054
01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:44,360
Speaker 2: I agree with you.

2055
01:50:45,560 --> 01:50:48,040
Speaker 6: I think this is the one, the rare game because

2056
01:50:48,040 --> 01:50:50,840
Speaker 6: of how bad those defense is. The rare game right now.

2057
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:54,280
Speaker 6: I think Seattle should be able to score. Seattle kind

2058
01:50:54,320 --> 01:50:56,519
Speaker 6: of been leaking oil, especially in the offensive side of

2059
01:50:56,560 --> 01:50:59,200
Speaker 6: the ball. The defense has been great. Donald is definitely

2060
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:02,559
Speaker 6: shown wards for sure the past six seven weeks since

2061
01:51:02,600 --> 01:51:04,000
Speaker 6: he was you know, people are talking m v P

2062
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:07,040
Speaker 6: with him. Lean here Seattle. Not a game I'm betting

2063
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:08,560
Speaker 6: from you know. I think it'll be close, but I

2064
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:10,280
Speaker 6: think Seattle will find a way to win a higher

2065
01:51:10,280 --> 01:51:13,479
Speaker 6: scoring game twenty four kind of game.

2066
01:51:14,840 --> 01:51:16,840
Speaker 2: Smith and Jig. But I mean, how does he not

2067
01:51:16,920 --> 01:51:18,240
Speaker 2: get a heart and fifty yards tonight?

2068
01:51:18,720 --> 01:51:20,240
Speaker 6: I'm sure he's not a huge game. I have no

2069
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,599
Speaker 6: doubt about that, Anthony. He absolutely should have a huge game.

2070
01:51:23,920 --> 01:51:26,000
Speaker 6: But again I didn't. Actually I don't think I played

2071
01:51:26,000 --> 01:51:27,639
Speaker 6: any props in this one either. This is actually game.

2072
01:51:27,640 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 6: I have nothing on this game.

2073
01:51:28,920 --> 01:51:31,320
Speaker 2: Actually I have, which is what is total? What is

2074
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 2: his total?

2075
01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:37,680
Speaker 6: I think JSN he's around one hundred ish. Yeah, you know,

2076
01:51:38,600 --> 01:51:41,200
Speaker 6: and so I mean that's you know, that's what he's been.

2077
01:51:41,160 --> 01:51:44,840
Speaker 2: Doing all Yeah, we'll say.

2078
01:51:44,920 --> 01:51:46,720
Speaker 6: Look, I give I give Party credit. Party has been

2079
01:51:46,760 --> 01:51:50,120
Speaker 6: playing extremely well the past month. Again, I thought at

2080
01:51:50,160 --> 01:51:52,960
Speaker 6: one point maybe Mac Jones was plat out out playing him.

2081
01:51:53,240 --> 01:51:55,840
Speaker 6: But I give Party credit. This last four weeks, he's

2082
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:57,320
Speaker 6: probably been the best quarterback in the NFL.

2083
01:51:58,720 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, all right, let's take a quick to you

2084
01:52:02,439 --> 01:52:05,840
Speaker 2: and then we'll come back. We'll run through all of tomorrow.

2085
01:52:06,600 --> 01:52:09,959
Speaker 2: We gotta be quick, so we'll do that. Where the Fellas,

2086
01:52:10,400 --> 01:52:15,000
Speaker 2: it's Jeff and the Brain right here on Fox Sports Radio.

2087
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:20,639
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back Fellas and Jeff and the Brain,

2088
01:52:21,040 --> 01:52:24,640
Speaker 2: and by the way. I want to thank Mark and

2089
01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 2: Brianna for an amazing job. As always, great to have

2090
01:52:29,280 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 2: Breed back in the saddle. We love her and we

2091
01:52:33,320 --> 01:52:35,840
Speaker 2: love our Mark. So happy New Year to our fine

2092
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:38,559
Speaker 2: crew behind the scenes that really make this show roll.

2093
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:43,400
Speaker 2: So brain, let's look at tomorrow. Let's start with the

2094
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,479
Speaker 2: with the big game, and that's tomorrow or tomorrow night.

2095
01:52:47,320 --> 01:52:51,960
Speaker 2: Baltimore Pittsburgh, No DK for the Steelers. How you look

2096
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:52,439
Speaker 2: at this one?

2097
01:52:53,960 --> 01:52:57,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, look, it's see you know, without that DK,

2098
01:52:57,880 --> 01:53:01,920
Speaker 6: Andrey was an injury suspension, say, huge loss for them.

2099
01:53:02,320 --> 01:53:06,800
Speaker 6: I mean Rogers obviously a shell of what he was now.

2100
01:53:06,880 --> 01:53:10,599
Speaker 6: He has no weapons at all on the outside. It's

2101
01:53:10,680 --> 01:53:13,000
Speaker 6: tough game for me. I think it's the right number.

2102
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:15,240
Speaker 6: I think it's the right number. Lamar hasn't been right

2103
01:53:15,280 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 6: all season. Henry's looked great. I think Baltimore wins the game.

2104
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 6: I thought three and half is the right number. Not

2105
01:53:21,280 --> 01:53:22,599
Speaker 6: a game I'm personally betting.

2106
01:53:23,760 --> 01:53:25,360
Speaker 3: So what do you do with the rest of the games, buddy?

2107
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:26,679
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

2108
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:31,439
Speaker 3: Because they don't really matter some do you know the

2109
01:53:31,520 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 3: Texans have to win, Jacksonville has to win. Doesn't mean

2110
01:53:34,320 --> 01:53:37,000
Speaker 3: they have to cover, right, the Rams are going to

2111
01:53:37,040 --> 01:53:39,000
Speaker 3: play their starters for for a little bit of time.

2112
01:53:40,640 --> 01:53:42,479
Speaker 2: Where are you going in week eighteen?

2113
01:53:42,880 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'll give you a couple of games that

2114
01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:47,920
Speaker 6: I like. I actually like the Bengals laying seven and

2115
01:53:47,960 --> 01:53:52,840
Speaker 6: a half against I bet that. I think. I think

2116
01:53:52,960 --> 01:53:55,639
Speaker 6: right now the Bengals are a team again. Jeff, you again,

2117
01:53:55,720 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 6: you played many years in the league. You're a smart guy.

2118
01:53:58,360 --> 01:54:00,960
Speaker 6: You also, I'm sure there was certain times you knew

2119
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:03,240
Speaker 6: the way you were playing and it thinks going It's

2120
01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:05,880
Speaker 6: like blackjack. I'm sure you go to blackjack. You sometimes

2121
01:54:05,960 --> 01:54:07,719
Speaker 6: you know you just the dealer. It's gonna buff. Sometimes

2122
01:54:07,720 --> 01:54:09,320
Speaker 6: you know he's just gonna both twenty twenty one. It's

2123
01:54:09,360 --> 01:54:11,960
Speaker 6: nothing you can do about it. Right now, the Bengals

2124
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:13,800
Speaker 6: are going through a good stretch. In my opinion, they're

2125
01:54:13,800 --> 01:54:16,080
Speaker 6: gonna end kind of a fake end where they're gonna

2126
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:17,920
Speaker 6: win their last three or four and every Oh they're

2127
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:20,800
Speaker 6: gonna be great next year. Maybe probably not, but point

2128
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:23,400
Speaker 6: bing is, I think they're gonna spank this Cleveland team

2129
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:25,160
Speaker 6: who suped Meal. They had a big game last week

2130
01:54:25,200 --> 01:54:28,719
Speaker 6: against Pittsburgh. Different game facing Aaron Rodgers versus Joe Burrow.

2131
01:54:29,800 --> 01:54:32,480
Speaker 6: I think that they actually win this game by real margin. Cincinnati.

2132
01:54:32,600 --> 01:54:35,640
Speaker 6: It's one of my favorite games of the week. I

2133
01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:40,560
Speaker 6: actually did play the Colts against the Texans. I look,

2134
01:54:40,640 --> 01:54:43,880
Speaker 6: I don't think the Colts are god awful. I really don't.

2135
01:54:44,840 --> 01:54:47,000
Speaker 6: I know they've lost like the last six games of

2136
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,520
Speaker 6: the year. They started off eight and two, but I

2137
01:54:49,800 --> 01:54:51,960
Speaker 6: really don't think they're god awful. And I think we

2138
01:54:52,040 --> 01:54:53,920
Speaker 6: could see a Texans team, Jeff, And this is my

2139
01:54:54,040 --> 01:54:56,880
Speaker 6: opinion that say how it plays out, where depending how

2140
01:54:56,920 --> 01:55:00,520
Speaker 6: the Jacksonville game goes against Tennessee, I think that they would.

2141
01:55:00,720 --> 01:55:04,160
Speaker 6: I think they're going to take out potentially Stroud if

2142
01:55:04,200 --> 01:55:05,960
Speaker 6: they see that that game is not going their way.

2143
01:55:06,480 --> 01:55:09,000
Speaker 6: And I could see a game where they rest these guys.

2144
01:55:09,560 --> 01:55:10,840
Speaker 6: And I think ten and a half is just two

2145
01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:14,560
Speaker 6: but too many points. You're gonna laugh at this one,

2146
01:55:15,040 --> 01:55:17,320
Speaker 6: absolutely laugh at but I'm I'll take the laughter.

2147
01:55:19,080 --> 01:55:20,920
Speaker 2: Raiders, young guys.

2148
01:55:21,560 --> 01:55:24,440
Speaker 6: Is a fifty to fifty game, are right?

2149
01:55:24,720 --> 01:55:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah?

2150
01:55:25,200 --> 01:55:27,800
Speaker 6: I think it's a fifty to fifty game five and

2151
01:55:27,800 --> 01:55:30,720
Speaker 6: a half points. I think it's insane for a Chiefs

2152
01:55:30,760 --> 01:55:33,920
Speaker 6: team that right now, I would say the worst two

2153
01:55:33,960 --> 01:55:35,800
Speaker 6: teams in NFL are these two teams and they're playing

2154
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:39,760
Speaker 6: each other. I think this line is crazy. This lone

2155
01:55:40,200 --> 01:55:42,080
Speaker 6: five and a half. I made it one and a half.

2156
01:55:43,240 --> 01:55:45,280
Speaker 6: She's starting to be playing anyone. I know the Raiders

2157
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:47,200
Speaker 6: are awful. Doesn't need to be explained to me, But

2158
01:55:47,360 --> 01:55:49,080
Speaker 6: I think this is a fifty to fifty game. You

2159
01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:50,760
Speaker 6: want to give me five and a half points, I

2160
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 6: know I get it. Raiders playing for the first pick

2161
01:55:52,920 --> 01:55:54,040
Speaker 6: five and a half way too high.

2162
01:55:55,240 --> 01:55:57,160
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what, man, the Bengals. I gave my

2163
01:55:57,240 --> 01:55:59,040
Speaker 3: five picks out yesterday. I as a spread and the

2164
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 3: Bengals was was one of the five because they're the

2165
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,360
Speaker 3: best team in the NFL. On it doesn't matter at

2166
01:56:03,400 --> 01:56:03,880
Speaker 3: all of them in the.

2167
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:06,040
Speaker 2: Falcons, correct, right, That's what I'm saying, right bad, no

2168
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:06,920
Speaker 2: better team than it.

2169
01:56:07,000 --> 01:56:08,720
Speaker 3: Like I said, there's a I thought tweaking around like

2170
01:56:08,720 --> 01:56:11,480
Speaker 3: the Falcons record the last five years when they're out

2171
01:56:11,480 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 3: of the playoffs, just like seventy percentage. It's like when

2172
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:16,920
Speaker 3: they you know, when they're in the playoffs, it's it's

2173
01:56:17,160 --> 01:56:19,600
Speaker 3: not are you looking at all to bet like like that?

2174
01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:21,960
Speaker 3: Like halves like I like the Rams first.

2175
01:56:21,880 --> 01:56:24,320
Speaker 6: Half in the first half. I bet New England in

2176
01:56:24,360 --> 01:56:28,640
Speaker 6: the first half because I know. I say, I feel

2177
01:56:28,720 --> 01:56:30,920
Speaker 6: confident I'm going to get a full compliment of Patriots

2178
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 6: players in the first half, and I think that game

2179
01:56:33,600 --> 01:56:36,120
Speaker 6: at halftime, I feel very comfortable they'll be winning by

2180
01:56:36,160 --> 01:56:39,360
Speaker 6: a touchdown. Very comfortable now laying eleven and a half

2181
01:56:39,400 --> 01:56:41,960
Speaker 6: in the game, Listen this to me, it could be

2182
01:56:42,040 --> 01:56:44,640
Speaker 6: a game where it's thirty four seventeen and then that

2183
01:56:44,800 --> 01:56:47,080
Speaker 6: you know Drake May's out of the game and they

2184
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 6: already know they have it in hand, and it and

2185
01:56:50,080 --> 01:56:52,760
Speaker 6: lands maybe ten and I just don't need to deal

2186
01:56:52,840 --> 01:56:54,520
Speaker 6: with that. But six and a half in the first half,

2187
01:56:54,560 --> 01:56:56,280
Speaker 6: when I know I'm getting a full compliment of the

2188
01:56:56,320 --> 01:56:59,040
Speaker 6: Patriots starters, sure, I'll take that against the Miami team

2189
01:56:59,040 --> 01:56:59,920
Speaker 6: that I don't think is very good.

2190
01:57:01,280 --> 01:57:07,640
Speaker 2: So I think the Eagles with Tanner McKee will move

2191
01:57:07,720 --> 01:57:08,560
Speaker 2: the ball and win.

2192
01:57:09,880 --> 01:57:10,880
Speaker 6: Favorite all time player.

2193
01:57:11,280 --> 01:57:14,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think he plays well, Buddy, I think

2194
01:57:14,440 --> 01:57:18,560
Speaker 2: he It's Josh Johnson on the other side. I actually

2195
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:19,840
Speaker 2: love the Eagles of this game.

2196
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,400
Speaker 6: It's funny. And Jeff, I know you're not a Philly guy,

2197
01:57:23,560 --> 01:57:27,320
Speaker 6: but and Anthony obviously is. You know, it's funny. I'm

2198
01:57:27,360 --> 01:57:29,160
Speaker 6: sure there's players, Jeff that you played with the fact.

2199
01:57:29,160 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 6: I love to ask you this off Aaron there Fright,

2200
01:57:31,160 --> 01:57:33,360
Speaker 6: certain players are like, maybe this guy ever got a chance,

2201
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:36,200
Speaker 6: maybe politics, maybe this maybe that he just didn't get

2202
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:37,800
Speaker 6: a chance, but he thought that guy was really good,

2203
01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,720
Speaker 6: and you the players no better than anyone. I'm sure

2204
01:57:39,760 --> 01:57:43,360
Speaker 6: who's good who isn't. Tanner McKee's a guy that I think.

2205
01:57:43,400 --> 01:57:47,120
Speaker 6: It's a different, different world, different situation. If he was

2206
01:57:47,160 --> 01:57:48,800
Speaker 6: on the forty nine ers right now, I could see

2207
01:57:48,880 --> 01:57:54,120
Speaker 6: him leading them the way Hearty's looking. Uh Minnesota, Yeah, yeah,

2208
01:57:54,400 --> 01:57:56,400
Speaker 6: I just think he was on Minnesota. I think he's

2209
01:57:56,480 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 6: really good, and every time he's gotten the chance, he's

2210
01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:02,040
Speaker 6: looked the part. So yeah, I think the Eagles. Actually,

2211
01:58:02,480 --> 01:58:04,240
Speaker 6: I'm not going to say it's an upgrade over Jael

2212
01:58:04,240 --> 01:58:06,240
Speaker 6: and Hurts. I'm not going to say that, but don't

2213
01:58:06,280 --> 01:58:08,800
Speaker 6: maybe think it's quite the massive downgrade that the most

2214
01:58:08,840 --> 01:58:09,920
Speaker 6: people would think that it is.

2215
01:58:10,880 --> 01:58:13,200
Speaker 3: It does feel like three awards are coming down to

2216
01:58:13,280 --> 01:58:15,640
Speaker 3: this weekend, which I thought awards were for a full season,

2217
01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:17,520
Speaker 3: not for who plays best in the final two weeks

2218
01:58:17,560 --> 01:58:21,640
Speaker 3: of December, but MVP Offensive, Rookie of the Year, and

2219
01:58:21,800 --> 01:58:24,320
Speaker 3: Coach of the Year anyone appears I feel like Stafford's

2220
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:25,840
Speaker 3: still playable for MVP today.

2221
01:58:26,840 --> 01:58:30,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'm I laid minus. I bet I bet

2222
01:58:30,880 --> 01:58:34,120
Speaker 6: May this week minus two ninety five. That means I

2223
01:58:34,160 --> 01:58:35,960
Speaker 6: think it's seventy five percent chance or higher.

2224
01:58:36,120 --> 01:58:37,080
Speaker 2: Okay, and I do.

2225
01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,080
Speaker 6: I think the only way May loses this award at

2226
01:58:40,080 --> 01:58:43,640
Speaker 6: this point A they lose the game and B he

2227
01:58:43,760 --> 01:58:46,760
Speaker 6: plays poorly. And I would be stunned if either of

2228
01:58:46,800 --> 01:58:49,760
Speaker 6: those things happened. I don't think Stafford can get back

2229
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:54,080
Speaker 6: into it. Personally, I don't. I really don't. I think

2230
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,200
Speaker 6: May deserves it. I think May is going to win it.

2231
01:58:56,600 --> 01:58:59,520
Speaker 6: I think May is going to win the award, and

2232
01:58:59,560 --> 01:59:02,600
Speaker 6: then Coach Year Jeff Anthony. I've never seen in my

2233
01:59:02,760 --> 01:59:05,680
Speaker 6: lifetime more deserving candidates to win an award, in any

2234
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:07,600
Speaker 6: award in my life, forget just Coach of the Year.

2235
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:10,560
Speaker 6: I've never seen this many good candidates for an award.

2236
01:59:10,880 --> 01:59:14,280
Speaker 6: I think Rabel's gonna win it, though he's around even money. Again,

2237
01:59:14,320 --> 01:59:15,920
Speaker 6: if I think that the Patriots do win this game,

2238
01:59:15,960 --> 01:59:18,520
Speaker 6: which I'm expecting, I think he's gonna win the award.

2239
01:59:18,600 --> 01:59:20,640
Speaker 6: But that one I'm not as confident on because man,

2240
01:59:21,360 --> 01:59:22,839
Speaker 6: so many tremendous candidates.

2241
01:59:24,200 --> 01:59:29,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's true. Anybody else tomorrow that are you

2242
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:29,800
Speaker 2: looking at?

2243
01:59:30,240 --> 01:59:30,280
Speaker 3: Like?

2244
01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:33,000
Speaker 2: Any other games do you keep an eye on?

2245
01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:38,960
Speaker 6: Let me real quick, any other games again? I played Patriots. Uh,

2246
01:59:39,200 --> 01:59:43,760
Speaker 6: the Patriots in the first half. I you know, I

2247
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:45,960
Speaker 6: bet I bet the Bears laying two and a half.

2248
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 6: I bet the Bears laying two and a half.

2249
01:59:47,320 --> 01:59:51,760
Speaker 2: That's too interesting because of the rapiagation. Oh we are

2250
01:59:51,960 --> 01:59:56,000
Speaker 2: up against it. Bring great stuff, Jeff, great stuff. Everybody

2251
01:59:56,040 --> 01:59:58,760
Speaker 2: we love you. Have a great week. Happy twenty twenty six.

2252
01:59:58,880 --> 01:59:59,560
Speaker 2: Fellas are out
