Speaker 2: I mean he's only carrying the Lakers right now without

Speaker 2: Luca Lebron.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: You know, Jmack a little j much with the gun show.

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: But whatever you know talking about I haven't worked out

18
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: all weeks. Come one. Sorry, that's a lie. Five, that's

19
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: a long Listen. Last week I did something I never

20
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: do with my picks. I said I'm taking all favorites.

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: I don't like favorites. This week, once again, I'm doing

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: something you shouldn't do taking road favorites. They tell you

23
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: don't do that. I don't love the numbers. I like

24
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the numbers more this week than last week. I just

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 1: end up doing well last week. So the last couple

26
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: of weeks, it's a lot of favorites. But it's been working.

27
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do it again, and here we go. Let's

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: blaze it up, fire it up. It's Collins blazon. Fuck

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: forty nine ers at Giants. I like the Niners minus

30
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: two and a half at the Giants without scataboy. Listen

31
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the Giants. They're not playing clean football and the Niners

32
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,559
Speaker 1: have the number two passing offense and the Giants pass

33
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: defense stinks. The Niners are two and zero after a loss,

34
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 1: and I like taking well coached teams after they play poorly.

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: The Niners last week not buttoned up. They're in a

36
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: bad move. No molak neighbors, no camskataboo. For the five

37
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: losses by the Giants this year, defense isn't very good.

38
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 1: Have been by twelve plus points. Too many penalties, they

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: give up big plays and I think mac Jones can

40
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 1: burn you. I like the Niners to win and cover

41
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,119
Speaker 1: the spread. Twenty eight to twenty three Bears and Thingals.

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: I think it's a good matchup for Chicago. I'll take

43
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: the road favorite minus two and a half. Since Week four, well,

44
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: the Bears are four and one of the Bengals were

45
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: one and five, so there's that Bears didn't get turnover

46
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: advantages last week, but they generally do, and their offense

47
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: does lead the NFL in big plays. And the Bengals

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,640
Speaker 1: defense this year is awful. Their last and everything but

49
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: third down defense and they're next to last with that.

50
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: They're one and five without Burrow, they don't run the

51
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: ball particularly well, and Joe Flacco banged up. The Bears

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: are not a great team, but they can be very

53
00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: good when they get a good matchup like the Dallas

54
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: defense or the Bengals defense. I think Chicago wins and

55
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 1: covers the spread. Final score thirty three to twenty seven.

56
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: She said Bills. I like the over fifty two and

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 1: a half points. The over. Weather's going to be fine.

58
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 1: Third ranked offensive line Buffalo and the fourth ranked offensive

59
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: line Kansas City, so both quarterbacks will have time to

60
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: throw five straight games for Kansas City scoring twenty eight

61
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: or more, and their receiving tight end Cores is stacked

62
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: number one total offense in the last month, the Bills

63
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 1: averaging six yards a play, second best in the NFL.

64
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen when he plays the Chiefs, he'll run it

65
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: a bit more. But if you look at the games

66
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: between Mahomes and Josh Allen, the defenses struggle to make stops.

67
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a classic Buffalo Kansas City matchup. I

68
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,080
Speaker 1: think Kansas City's gonna win. Take the over fifty two

69
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 1: and a half points Seahawks at Commanders. I'm gonna take

70
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: the Commanders plus three and a half at home. Listen

71
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels hamstring and Laramie Tunzel hamstring both could return

72
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: second best red zone offense in the NFL, only behind

73
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the Eagles. So if they can move the ball, they

74
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: can get touchdowns. They also run the ball effectively, and

75
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: I like that. The Seahawks are getting sloppy and a

76
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: bit reckless for me. I love Sam Darnold, but he's

77
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: gotten back to some bad habits right now. The Seahawks

78
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: offense in the last couple of games is sputtering. No

79
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: Kevin o'conddle in the building. Commanders win it. Take the points.

80
00:04:53,240 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 1: I like Washington twenty eight to twenty seven. Cowboys Cardinal Cowboys.

81
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Dallas minus two and a half. They're

82
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,239
Speaker 1: just a very good home team, one of five teams

83
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 1: that hasn't lost at home, number one scoring offense in

84
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: the league, and at home. Strangely, they don't give the

85
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: ball away, only one giveaway in Dallas all year. I

86
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: just like what they do at home. Dak having a

87
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 1: really good season. Protections better than I thought. So is

88
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: the run game the Cardinals. That defense is banged up

89
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: and getting worse. Allowed twenty seven plus points in back

90
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: to back games. Again, this is really I'm taking Dak

91
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: at home over a better team. Who knows who's quarterbacking

92
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:44,359
Speaker 1: for Arizona, but I think they're regressing. Dallas still believes

93
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: in that building they can make the playoffs and maybe

94
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: they can swallow the points. Dallas wins and covers twenty

95
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: eight to twenty four. So again I'm taking favorites. I'm

96
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: not prone to do that. Plus the over on the

97
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: Bills and achieves. With that, we bring in Eric Mangini

98
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Jets Brown. So here's the word. Chris Greer has been

99
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 1: let go in Miami as the GM they're going to

100
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: keep Mike McDaniel. I believe interim coaches get you in

101
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: trouble because they come in, they win a couple of games,

102
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: the fan base in the media want the interim coach,

103
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 1: and that's not the best cancel. I would keep the

104
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: coach to the end. I'm going to throw something at

105
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: you and I want your reaction of the Okay, the

106
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: franchise has to move off to them. In my opinion,

107
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a cold weather conference. I mean it's

108
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: all the good teams have cold weather. He can't do it.

109
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: So college football has changed. They have free agency. The

110
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: college coaches now with the Nile and the Portal, they're

111
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: like NFL coaches. They have to pay players to have

112
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: negotiate salaries. They have free agency. I would call Lane

113
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: Kiffen and I would say, Lane, you've seen of these

114
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: eight quarterbacks that everybody likes. You recruited him, You've coached

115
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: against him, You've watched tape against him. You had Jackson Dart.

116
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 1: You know the conference. Is it crazy to say the

117
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: coach selects the GM and that Lane may be a

118
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: great fit here.

119
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think Lane could could definitely be

120
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 3: a really good fit in the NFL.

121
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 4: I don't know if that's what he wants to do.

122
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: So it was it was he and Sarkisian right at

123
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: the Raiders as co offensive coordinators at one point, and

124
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,960
Speaker 3: I could see both of those guys moving back into

125
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 3: the NFL. And and look, it's he's He's had so

126
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 3: much success in college football and he's really good at that,

127
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: and I think it'd be good in pro football as well.

128
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 3: It just depends on whether he wants to make that transition.

129
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 3: But I would imagine, considering his lineage and his experienced

130
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 3: the NFL, at some point he's going to want to

131
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 3: get back into the league.

132
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: So you know, when you look at the Bills and

133
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: the Chiefs, I said earlier, generally December and January football,

134
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: you know this, Brady and Belichick super Bowls, with the

135
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: exception of the Rams game, they're all one possession games,

136
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: win lose. They're all one possession. The difference between Mahomes

137
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: and Allen is Andy Reid, outside of maybe Bill Walsh,

138
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: is the best offensive coach ever, and he wins those

139
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: little situational moments. I think McDermott's a very good coach.

140
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: I think Andy's a legend. To me, the difference is

141
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: they both went to small markets, they didn't win a

142
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: lot in college. They're both insanely talented. Both franchises won

143
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 1: playoff games before they got there. They were well run.

144
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: To me, the difference is Andy Reid. It's not Mahomes

145
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 1: and Allen. It's kind of Andy Reid and these big spots.

146
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that.

147
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, the coaching situation that Patrick went into was about

148
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 3: as good as you could possibly get because he not

149
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: only had Andy Reid, but he had Spagnolo on the

150
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: other side. And I know it wasn't great early there defensively,

151
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 3: but that stability from a coaching perspective is has.

152
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: Been really good.

153
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: I do think though, there is an element of who

154
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,520
Speaker 3: is better in the bigger moments and for years you

155
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: had Brady and Manning and how many Super Bowls would

156
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 3: Peyton have won if Tom Brady hadn't been around, and

157
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 3: it wasn't You know, there was an element of coaching

158
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 3: there as well, and I believe that, especially really early

159
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: in Tom's career. But there is also an element of

160
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: Peyton was around when the greatest player of all time

161
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 3: was around, and now Patrick Mahomes is arguably the next

162
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 3: the heir to that throne, and unfortunately for Josh Allen,

163
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: he's around when the greatest player potentially of all time

164
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 3: is around.

165
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: So we've had a lot of discussions on Caleb Williams,

166
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 1: and I said, listen, here's the things.

167
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 4: I like.

168
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: He's coachable because I watch him on the first drive

169
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: as execution's excellent. He's not ridget or stubborn. He'll take

170
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: the coaching. Secondly, he has developed a nice relationship with

171
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Roma Dunze. You can feel it. They trust each other.

172
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: Third is he's got an arm, he's got the tools.

173
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 1: I do think operationally it's not good enough and I

174
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: don't know if he's ever going to be sixty eight

175
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,439
Speaker 1: percent completion? Guy? Where are you now? I like I

176
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: think they're a team that's good, not great. So I

177
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: like their matchup. I think when they face the Dallas

178
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: defense of the Bengals defense, they're more comfortable. I don't

179
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: think they're a good enough offense to face a lot

180
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,319
Speaker 1: of discomfort. They can handle, you know, a little less

181
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 1: of a pass rush. Where are you on Caleb Ben

182
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 1: Johnson and the Bears right now?

183
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 5: Yeah?

184
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 3: I'm a lot like you Colin as I see the

185
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 3: good things that Caleb does week in and week out,

186
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 3: and then you get frustrated with the inconsistency of playing

187
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 3: and you want to see more development as a as

188
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback, as a leader, as someone who can who

189
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 3: can run the offense effectively without without getting the you know,

190
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,319
Speaker 3: the penalties that just just kill you. And it's interesting

191
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: last year when they were right before the Washington game,

192
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 3: or leading up to the Washington game, they were four

193
00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 3: and two, and then they had that terrible, terrible loss,

194
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 3: and Kaylib had three games in a row where he's

195
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 3: below eighty and a quarterback rating. Here we are a

196
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 3: year later, they have the terrible loss of the Ravens,

197
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: and he's in a three game stretch of below eighty

198
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 3: quarterback rating. A year he moved with a totally different

199
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: head coach, a different team, different situation.

200
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: So you're.

201
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 3: I'm disappointed that that that's where we are a year later,

202
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 3: and I'd like to see the jump happen.

203
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 4: Quicker.

204
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 3: I do think we have to go through this entire season,

205
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 3: and I'm optimistic that he's going to get significantly better

206
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 3: by the end of the season and take some jumps here.

207
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,160
Speaker 3: Maybe over the next four weeks and then the four

208
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 3: weeks following.

209
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: So I said there, it's not today. J Brown's a

210
00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,679
Speaker 1: bad guy. But if you look at the Eagles, their

211
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: most famous play is to Tush. It's ugly, it's an artistic,

212
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: it's a collective. And then he's standing over on the

213
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: sideline like, they're not built. They're not built around AJ Brown. Now,

214
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: most teams aren't built. I mean the Bengals are built

215
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 1: largely on Burrow and Jamar Chase. But I think AJ

216
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 1: Brown is a good guy. I think it's a weird fit.

217
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: Were you ever in a locker room, it could be

218
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots, the Jets of the Browns where you loved

219
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: a player, but he wasn't necessarily a fit or great

220
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: for the room. And I mean Dez Bryant when he

221
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: was in Dallas, like Dak was better not having the

222
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 1: kind of babysit a superstar receiver. What do you do

223
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: with your Philly last week? No, AJ Brown's the best

224
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: of their offense has looked like since in.

225
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: A year, Yeah, looks. It's a really tough situation with

226
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 3: AJ Brown. He's a great player, but there's a reason

227
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 3: that Tennessee moved on from him and we see great

228
00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 3: receivers all the time where they get traded, and with AJ,

229
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 3: he wasn't happy they won the Super Bowl. He was

230
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: reading the book during the playoffs last year. Now he started,

231
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, expressing his dissatisfaction publicly much earlier this year.

232
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: And Bill Parcells used to say that sometimes, you know,

233
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: guys are a little bit like a bucket with a

234
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 3: hole in it. No matter how much water you put

235
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 3: in it, it's always going to be empty. And as

236
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 3: much as you try to fix a relationship and as

237
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 3: much as you try to make things right, it just

238
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,319
Speaker 3: doesn't matter how much you pour into it. You can't

239
00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:32,720
Speaker 3: fill it up and you can't make them happy. So

240
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 3: what ends up happening typically in situations like this is

241
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 3: the Eagles get to the point where they move on

242
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 3: from AJ Brown, and then AJ goes somewhere and maybe

243
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 3: has one or two years there, maybe maybe as a

244
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,920
Speaker 3: different perspective on things and lasts longer. But it just

245
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,199
Speaker 3: seems like this is this is one of those situations

246
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 3: where the bucket as a whole.

247
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: Okay, you're going to show some video here. I said this.

248
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes I trust my eyes when you watch Drake May,

249
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:02,960
Speaker 1: he's got to learn to slide. He's not good at that.

250
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,360
Speaker 1: But when the ball comes out, it's got it's got

251
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 1: a little heat on it, it comes out tight. I

252
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: think he throws a very nice deep ball. Some of

253
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: it is my eyes don't lie. He just looks the

254
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: part telling your thoughts on Drake May.

255
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know I I looked at him very similar

256
00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: to Sam Darnold coming out of college because the amount

257
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,960
Speaker 3: of touchdowns and interceptions and him getting together with Josh McDaniels.

258
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: I think couldn't have been a better situation. And we

259
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 3: see now how Sam Donald's progressed. This is years down

260
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: the line, but we're seeing all the potential that he

261
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 3: had and with Drake May, this has happened a lot,

262
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 3: a lot quicker. And I'm gonna show you the tape

263
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 3: Colin that you're gonna love. It's and if you're a

264
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 3: New England Patriots fan, you're gonna love this this tape

265
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: as well because it shows his development from a quarterback perspective,

266
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 3: and it shows his potential physically. So in this situation,

267
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 3: it's early in the game, they're sending Hunter Henry and

268
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 3: in motion to give.

269
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 4: Him a man's zone answer. What is it?

270
00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: Man?

271
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 3: Or zone, and then they're gonna throw or they're gonna

272
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 3: fake that. They're throwing a wide receiver screen to Stefan Diggs,

273
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 3: obviously their biggest target, and then Henry and Mac Collins

274
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: they're gonna go up and they're going to try to

275
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: bluff the defenders. Get those defenders to bite on the

276
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 3: wide receiver screen to Stefan Diggs, and then ideally Hanter

277
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 3: Henry now is going to run a middle read. Mac

278
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 3: Collins is going to go ahead and he's going to

279
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 3: run a fade route and they get two on one

280
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 3: on the safety. So it's a little bit of a

281
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: gadget play that's on the front side.

282
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 4: Of this route.

283
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 3: And then on the back side of the route with

284
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 3: Tayshaun Booty, he's going.

285
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 4: To run a slam go. He's the isolation route.

286
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 3: He's the second option on this, but they want to

287
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,680
Speaker 3: hit the home run with the gadget.

288
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 4: Play on the front side.

289
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: What New Orleans is doing is they're in straight man

290
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: and man coverage across the board, which means they got

291
00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 3: they have one player deep that's.

292
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,000
Speaker 4: Going to be the safety.

293
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 3: Usually he's in a post safety column, but they're going

294
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: to slide him over to the three receiver side where

295
00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 3: Diggs and Henry are, and they're bringing a fifth guy

296
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 3: off the edge because they want to set.

297
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 4: The edge on Drake May.

298
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 3: They want to make sure that he doesn't have a

299
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 3: scramble lane because he's hurt so many people with that.

300
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 3: So as he comes back, he's going to sell the

301
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 3: wide receiver stream to Diggs, and he does a good

302
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 3: job of it. But what he's really doing is he's

303
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 3: looking downfield to see whether he's got what he's wants

304
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 3: from the coverage. Had the defensive back spit up, has

305
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 3: the safety bit up, and he doesn't have that. So

306
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 3: now he's got to look backside the booty and you

307
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 3: can see at this point booty is far from open.

308
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 3: He's locked down in man coverage. New Orleans has a

309
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: good rush. This is what I really like about Drake May.

310
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 3: So it's not there. He doesn't panic, he keeps his

311
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 3: eyes downfield. Look at how he finds the opening over

312
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 3: here to ha left the scene again, there's no panic,

313
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 3: eyes or downfield. He moves into that little crease and

314
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 3: then take a look at this.

315
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: This is very Josh Allenesk. He's almost it's.

316
00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 3: Almost like a jump pass. He's on one foot, but

317
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna see he comes actually off the ground and

318
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,479
Speaker 3: it's effortless.

319
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 4: Boot is nowhere near wide open.

320
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 3: He's this is tighten man and man coverage, and you're

321
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 3: gonna see from this other angle how well this ball

322
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 3: is thrown. So there he looks slides into the crease,

323
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,600
Speaker 3: and look how he drops this into the pocket off

324
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 3: of his back foot. So it's if you need a

325
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 3: reason to be excited, it's that he took a look

326
00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 3: at at what the coverage was. The coverage wasn't there.

327
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 3: He's got patience, he's got poise, and then he effortlessly

328
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 3: throws the ball twenty five yards down the field and

329
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 3: in the bucket.

330
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 4: It's a lot to be happy about.

331
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, it just some stuff just looks right. Very early,

332
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: I said this when Justin Herbert was a rookie with

333
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: Shane Stike in the coordinator. I'm like, I don't know

334
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: if he wins playoff games. That's what a franchise quarterback

335
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 1: looks like. Drake May to me is the East Coast

336
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, I don't know what he does in January

337
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: that wins ten plus games a year. If he's standing

338
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,520
Speaker 1: up right, he's too good. Not too.

339
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's so good to see the development too.

340
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 3: That's what I was most worried about, is we're we

341
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: going to get to the same situation where we've got

342
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 3: fifteen touchsounds and eleven picks and he's making poor decisions.

343
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:15,360
Speaker 3: But in that situation, good processing, good field in the pocket,

344
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 3: good looking down the field.

345
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 4: A lot to be happy about.

346
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: Eric Manjini on a Friday, Great senior.

347
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 3: Coach, great senior And congratulations on all those honors, Colin,

348
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: so well deserved.

349
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: Thank you, that's very kind of you to say. I

350
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:30,560
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate that. It was. We got to bed a

351
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,680
Speaker 1: little late last night. It was a neat night being

352
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame. And thank you

353
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: to all the well wishers and the people that have

354
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 1: supported me through the years. Iheartradios, obviously from me, Radio

355
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: networks have been unbelievable. And we're again last night, so

356
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer stopping by next hour, folks. The Lane Kiffin

357
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 1: stuff to me is, whether you like him or not,

358
00:18:55,800 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: Lane's got a presence. Lane's got a Samalpha. That's what

359
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: Miami's missing. I mean, they got to get the on

360
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 1: line right. They got to get the GM right more

361
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 1: than anything in the AFC, New England, Baltimore. Look at

362
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,879
Speaker 1: all these teams that are good to THEFC. You gotta

363
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: get a big guy who can sling it in cruddy weather.

364
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 1: I know you plan the sun. Nothing is decided in

365
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 1: the September. In the NFL, nothing is decided. Everything is

366
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: decided after Thanksgiving.

381
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: The worst part about the Ravens dominating win last night

382
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,000
Speaker 1: is I wish when you put those Thursday night games

383
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,880
Speaker 1: on and they're probably the best bet of the weekend.

384
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: I can't put it in Blazing five. So Baltimore felt

385
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: like a I mean, just you can just watch what's

386
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 1: happening with Miami. I'll say it again, Lane Kiffin's the

387
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,920
Speaker 1: choice I think for Miami. I've talked to now two

388
00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: general managers about it this morning. Remember when Lane Kiffen

389
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: went the Raiders, Al Davis forced in the draft JaMarcus Russell.

390
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: I talked to Lane about this ten years ago. He

391
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,399
Speaker 1: didn't want to draft him. Nobody can win with JaMarcus Russell.

392
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 1: Don't blame the coach Shane Steikin last year. It's so

393
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 1: amazing how good Shane Steiken is. Again, it's like he

394
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: forgot football last year. Well, look at the quarterback play

395
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 1: like Kevin O'Connell. Everybody bangs on the coaches. If you

396
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: don't have the right quarterback, everybody looks incompetent. You gotta

397
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 1: get the cour quarterback right in Miami, and you need

398
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,680
Speaker 1: a little bit of alpha. But you don't want to

399
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: give up too much innovation. Mike McDaniel smart, lot of innovation.

400
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 1: Kiffin would give you the innovation, more alpha. College football coaches.

401
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 1: Now they're CEOs. They used to just be recruiters. Now

402
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: they got a salary cap. Now they got to pay players.

403
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 1: Now they got to negotiate contracts the college guys. Jim

404
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:27,679
Speaker 1: Harbaugh was basically a pro coach at Michigan. That's what

405
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin is. An old miss jmck with the news.

406
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 5: No, no turn on the news.

407
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 1: This is the herd line news. Be nice.

408
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 2: If Lane got to pick his quarterback and he had

409
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: the choice of a guy like Lamar Jackson, who was

410
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: phenomenal last night, Colin, my goodness, we haven't talked about

411
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: it enough. Four tuddies in the role to victory over

412
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 2: halfless Miami error pro Miami.

413
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: Here's the interesting thing.

414
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 2: Baltimore now minus one eighty to win the AFC North Meeting.

415
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: You got to lay one hundred and eighty bucks to

416
00:21:58,600 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 1: win one hundred.

417
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 2: If you had this a few weeks ago when we

418
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: told you to, you might be a rich man.

419
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a lock.

420
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 2: But we all know the dealers are a fool's gold

421
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:08,359
Speaker 2: the Brown State.

422
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: I love watching Lamar Jackson play. Well, let me ask

423
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: so he didn't look as it's his first game back.

424
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 2: He didn't look as fast and fleet a foot any right,

425
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 2: would you agree?

426
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's probably at ninety percent. He's got to,

427
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I My take is quarterbacks first

428
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,919
Speaker 1: game back from injury in the NFL is a brotherhood.

429
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: You want to play when you're hurt. You don't in baseball,

430
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: you don't in basketball. So I don't think Lamar Jackson's

431
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,359
Speaker 1: one hundred percent health. He's probably ninety percent. And so

432
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 1: my take on it, he's not going to run as effectively,

433
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: he's not going to run as much, he's not going

434
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: to look quite as fast. He's fine, But in the NFL,

435
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:47,479
Speaker 1: a lot of times quarterbacks especially will play hurt because

436
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: they know the beating their old linemen take and running

437
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 1: backs take and tight ends take. So quarterbacks tend to

438
00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: want to get on the field and be part of

439
00:22:56,720 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 1: the room, be part of the brotherhood. So I don't

440
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: think I think brock Perty is gonna come back. He's

441
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 1: not going to be one hundred percent healthy. I don't

442
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: think Lamar was last night.

443
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 2: Upcoming five games for the Ravens here the quarterbacks. They

444
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 2: will face at JJ McCarthy, at Dylan Gabriel versus Justin

445
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 2: Fields versus Jake Browning versus Aaron Rodgers. That smells like

446
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 2: five and oh, maybe they slip up in Cleveland, which

447
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: does play tough defense at home, but four and one,

448
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,800
Speaker 2: five and oh, just the Ravens are coming, folks.

449
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: Let's go to it.

450
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 2: Let's stay in the AFC North, go to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

451
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 1: I can't wait for them to.

452
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 2: Fall off so we can stop talking about these guys.

453
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: They're just not a good football team.

454
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: They're to the point that Cam Hayward, one of their

455
00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 2: defensive leaders, is calling out the team for having a

456
00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 2: pathetic defense. Here he is ahead of the matchup against

457
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 2: the Colts.

458
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 5: I just think we all just got to get better.

459
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 5: I challenge everybody.

460
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 4: I challenge myself.

461
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 5: Foremost. You know, that's always the way I've been raised.

462
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,360
Speaker 5: You can't look at anybody else. You got to look

463
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 5: at yourself. And you know the way to get this

464
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 5: bad taste our mouth is just play better football.

465
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't understand the line here, so I stayed away.

466
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 1: I think the Colts are ten points better. I think

467
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 1: the good teams have pulled away from the Steelers, both

468
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: Green Bay and Seattle in Pittsburgh completely pulled away. In

469
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: the second half. I think the Colts will pull away

470
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: in the second half. I don't understand the line, and

471
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:33,680
Speaker 1: when I don't understand stuff, I avoid it. But I think,

472
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: like Green Bay, you have a very efficient offense that

473
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: over the course of twelve possessions and that Pittsburgh hit

474
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: and miss defense. I like the Colts here.

475
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll try to help some people understand it. I'm

476
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 2: gonna save all my juice on this one for headlines

477
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 2: next hour.

478
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 1: That's called the teas in the industry.

479
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 2: Mister Calhert. I'll try to help the folks understand.

480
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: Final story. Let's go to Wenby Colin. He was it.

481
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 2: Actually, Lat's say he's becoming must see TV. I'm not

482
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:04,120
Speaker 2: ready to call him the best player in the league,

483
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 2: but he's pretty damn close. How about this line? Colin

484
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:12,400
Speaker 2: twenty eight eighteen six assists, five blocks, The Spurs are

485
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,360
Speaker 2: five and oh they covered the spread again last night.

486
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 2: I'm telling you they've been a good bet so far

487
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 2: this season. Remember, dude is awesome. Remember Remember the early criticisms.

488
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: I remember when he was coming in and they were

489
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: calling him the best prospect ever, including Lebron and were

490
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:28,680
Speaker 1: and people were in and I think he is because

491
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,200
Speaker 1: he can do things defensively Lebron can't. He just has

492
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: genetic size advantages. So but da knock was he'll get

493
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: pushed round my people. Yeah, I'm watching the video. Where

494
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: are the pushers? O?

495
00:25:40,880 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 2: Bam Manebayo dunked on him, but who cares? It's one

496
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: dunk and we talked about it. He's like, I'll challenge anything.

497
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: I love that attitude. I'm just saying, I know everybody

498
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 2: thinks the Thunder the best team in the league. Fine,

499
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 2: they're also undefeated. They're very good. I think it's worth

500
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 2: putting a couple bucks on the San Antonio Spurs to

501
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,119
Speaker 2: win the title.

502
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,640
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm dead serious coluing. I know they're young.

503
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: They got the rookie point guard that they drafted, they

504
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 2: got the young kid Castle. They don't even have Dearon

505
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: fox back yet he's not even playing for them.

506
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: He's like an all star level player.

507
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:14,680
Speaker 2: This is a really strong team and I don't know

508
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 2: if you how closer you can watch him, I'll be

509
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,280
Speaker 2: shocked if they're not top.

510
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Four in the West. Wemby in the middle has altered

511
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: so many shots.

512
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,600
Speaker 2: Well, they all don't want to drive the lane on them.

513
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: Also, their starting five is really good. Yeah, von Castle

514
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: is a great player. I don't know about their bench,

515
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: but the starting five for the Spurs is Western Conference

516
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: final worthy. You just cross your fingers on Wemby's health.

517
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: Could you call him a modern Shack. He's as dominant,

518
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:38,639
Speaker 1: but he's just different because he could hit three. I

519
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: think urable European bigs Alprin, Shangoon, Jokich, Wemby, they're as

520
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,360
Speaker 1: skilled as our number two's are off guards are. That's

521
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: the difference. European players are more skilled at a much

522
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: earlier level than our domestic players. Yeah, you watch sh Goon, Like,

523
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: dude's got handles, he has a beautiful touch. He can pass.

524
00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: I covered our Vitas Sibonis in Portland, like he was

525
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,640
Speaker 1: the best passer on that Trailblazer team. Our Vetas Sabonis

526
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: the center was so our guys have been brute force

527
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 1: like Shack, you know, or our bigs have you know me?

528
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 1: I will say Bill Walton was ahead of his time.

529
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 1: He had sort of a European field where he could shoot,

530
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,679
Speaker 1: he had touched, he could pass. Bill Walton was like

531
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: three decades four decades before his time. But largely these

532
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: international bigs they are in. They are so skilled and

533
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: it just separates them from other eras.

534
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: So the baseball unicorn plays his final games of the

535
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:43,199
Speaker 2: season this weekend, Oh Tani and the basketball unicorn ushered in.

536
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: How about this. Remember last year when Wemby was taking

537
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: all these threes. Yeah, and I'm like, folks, he's seven five.

538
00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:56,160
Speaker 1: Get him closer to the basket. Stop with the math equations.

539
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: Wemby this year taking twice as many shots from ten

540
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: feet and in some of you analytic nerds, some of

541
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 1: you gms out there with your math equations seven to four,

542
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:13,880
Speaker 1: get him close to the basket. We watch playoff basketball.

543
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: You know, all these teams that shoot threes, they have

544
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: these streaky halves where they're off. The Celtics will have

545
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: these halves and you're like, they're unwatchable. You can get

546
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: a bucket with this between Castle, between Wemby, you can

547
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: get a two. It feels like about sixty percent of

548
00:28:32,560 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 1: the time with the Spurs and there's nothing anybody can

549
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 1: do about it. Jmack with the News, Well that's the news,

550

553
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: I mean the good news for Okce. They've got chet Holmgren,

554
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: so they've got some size as well. But Wemby's just different,

555
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: and I remember that. Oh watch our guys. Domestic guys

556
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: will push him around. Dude, he makes six eleven guys

557
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: look small. He really does. His length is just insane.

558

565
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: of the questions is which QB will have the most

566
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 2: passing yards this week? Stafford against the Saints, Jordan Love

567
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: against the Panthers, Goff against the Vikings, or Trevor Lawrence

568
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 2: against the Raiders.

569
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: This is little tricky Colin. Who you got Matthew Stafford

570
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 1: against the Saints. Poka Nako is back? Can I throw

571
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: this out to you?

572
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 5: Well?

573
00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 2: Wait, hold on, what is Stafford's what, I throw up

574
00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: twenty to nothing in the second quarter and they just

575
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:01,080
Speaker 2: shut him down.

576
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: They don't do that. McVeigh doesn't do that. I'll tell

577
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,120
Speaker 1: you what's weird. Do you have Packers Panthers in your picks?

578
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: I do I have a weird feeling? Yeah, yep. I

579
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 1: looked at the numbers on this game. I came an

580
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: inch on picking the Panthers in this game. It's a

581
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 1: bit of a t I like saving the good stuff.

582
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:27,120
Speaker 1: It's a trap spot. So they had an Aaron Rodgers

583
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: game last week, yep, they had Eagles next week.

584
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: It's so easy to just be like, oh, hey, here

585
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 2: come the Panthers and the red rifle. He may start,

586
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 2: it's unclear Rice well Young is practicing. We'll see if

587
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 2: it's young, they got a shot. Just go ahead, go ahead.

588
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: If you go to Lambeau, just don't get all worked up. Hey,

589
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: come on, put your money where your mouth is. Nig guy,

590
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 1: Come on, take the thirteen. Go ahead.

591
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 5: Now.

592
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: I was very close to taking him. I think it's

593
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: a trap spot for Green Bay. I think it ends

594
00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 1: up being like twenty eight twenty three Bay wins. It's

595
00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: very competitive. I'm just gonna say that right now. So

596
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: the Dodgers season is on the break. Now, I said this,

597
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,040
Speaker 1: that's good for baseball. You don't want Katie and Warriors

598
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: where it feels unfair. The Dodgers are the only team

599
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 1: in baseball where if they lose the World Series it's

600
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:19,840
Speaker 1: a failed season. Now, you could say the Yankees. But

601
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,080
Speaker 1: the minute the Yankees lost last year to the Dodgers,

602
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: what was the first thing everybody said? Dodgers have much

603
00:31:25,080 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: better players, Dodgers are much better roster. Dodgers top to

604
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: bottom are the only time the Yankees competed when Garrett

605
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: Cole pitched. They look like an average team compared to

606
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 1: the Dodgers. I think a lot of the dodgers struggles

607
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: in this series are pressure. Last year the World Series,

608
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: the pressure was on the Yankees and the Dodgers. This

609
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 1: year it's all on La And I think you can

610
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 1: see it at the plate. They're getting non competitive at bats.

611
00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 1: They're getting a lot of really bad at bats. Mookie's

612
00:31:55,800 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: flailing months. He doesn't look right. So I think baseball,

613
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:03,440
Speaker 1: like golf, is one of those sports a lot of downtime,

614
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,360
Speaker 1: it gets into your head. You can get in a

615
00:32:05,480 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 1: real slumps, even for great players. So I think the

616
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: perfect the magic elicks or to solve that is Yoshi.

617
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: So again, a lot of these Asian players come over

618
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: and they don't listen to American media. They don't care.

619
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: They come over, they've got a guru. They do their

620
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:26,440
Speaker 1: own thing. They are from that perspective in the media.

621
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,960
Speaker 1: They're removed from it. And this kid, Wired to Wire

622
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: has been an ace all of his thirty starts. He

623
00:32:32,360 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 1: is perfect mechanics, totally focused, unique personality. That is what

624
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 1: you need in Toronto. You need a guy that is

625
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:48,160
Speaker 1: completely laser focused, is absolutely unaffected. He was an ace

626
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: in Japan, he's an ace in Los Angeles. I don't

627
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: know if they could win this series. I don't know

628
00:32:53,880 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 1: if the Dodgers could. They can even it up with

629
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:02,360
Speaker 1: Yoshi because he's kind of the perfect personality, great mechanics,

630
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: totally focused, unaffected. Dave Roberts talked about him last night.

631
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 8: I think, you know, he's pitched in huge ball games

632
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 8: in Japan, he's pitched in the WBC, and you know,

633
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 8: players that have the weight of a country on their shoulders,

634
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 8: there's that's pressure, and so I just feel that part

635
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 8: of his DNA is to just perform at a high

636
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 8: level in big spots and control his heartbeat and just

637
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 8: continue to make patches pitches.

638
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: I've said this, there are advantages to your best player

639
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: being an international player. Like I've always thought, the international

640
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: basketball players come in more mature. You know, their families

641
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:53,560
Speaker 1: are overseas. So when they come to America, these international

642
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,240
Speaker 1: players like a Wenby or a Jokich, and a majority

643
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 1: of their family is overseas, and their friends and their

644
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 1: history and the culture they really feel embedded in. They

645
00:34:03,960 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: just come over here to play basketball. They're not distracted

646
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: at all. I think there's a huge advantage for a

647
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 1: lot of international basketball players. And there is a great

648
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:17,440
Speaker 1: number of great Southeast Asia baseball players, and they come

649
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,319
Speaker 1: in and they're not affected by our media. They're not

650
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 1: listening to talk radio or they're not you know, they don't.

651
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 1: They really come in totally focused. Yoshi is such a

652
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:31,920
Speaker 1: unique personality. He's just unaffected by everything. He was an

653
00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 1: ace in Japan. He's an ace here and there are

654
00:34:35,000 --> 00:34:37,040
Speaker 1: there you know. And I've said this before. When I

655
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 1: go overseas or when you go overseas, it is different.

656
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm a visitor, I act differently. I tip differently. I'm

657
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 1: probably more generous with my time. I probably illustrate more patients.

658
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: You know, I change a little bit, a little bit

659
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: of a chameleon. When I don't know, I just I

660
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,360
Speaker 1: just think I do. So a lot of these athletes

661
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,839
Speaker 1: that are international athletes, they come over here and they

662
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:02,360
Speaker 1: have a very unique focus, and I think sometimes it

663
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,800
Speaker 1: is hard, you know, Like I've heard this from athletes.

664
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,360
Speaker 1: They don't want to plan in their hometown. I remember

665
00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,560
Speaker 1: talking to Damon Stodhomyren once when he came back to

666
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,240
Speaker 1: Portland and he says, you know, in Toronto he played

667
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,719
Speaker 1: for the Rafters. He's like, I can go hide. It's

668
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:18,320
Speaker 1: I can't hide in Portland. I've got all my family

669
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: and relatives and friends here, and so he said, you know,

670
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: it creates different challenges. So I like the Dodgers in

671
00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 1: this spot tonight, but so far, the Jays have done

672
00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 1: a much better job of making the Dodgers uncomfortable. And

673
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,160
Speaker 1: the Dodgers stars aren't hitting, and so Toronto's playing with

674
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:39,960
Speaker 1: a ton of confidence. They're playing downhill house money tonight.

675
00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,359
Speaker 1: They're the underdogs in the series. There's not a lot

676
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: of pressure, especially tonight. So I'll take Dodgers tonight, but

677
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 1: in the game seven, be hard to bet against the

678
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: Blue Jays. So I was saying earlier there, I think

679
00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears have been fascinating with Caleb Williams. So

680
00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 1: when these young quarterbacks come into the NFL, you can

681
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: see some that are immediately don't work. You know JaMarcus

682
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: Russell when he came into the league, like that doesn't work.

683
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, Zach Wilson, It's like, I don't think that's

684
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:13,319
Speaker 1: gonna work. And then there are those that immediately you're like, oh,

685
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:19,080
Speaker 1: that works, like Jaden Daniels last year, Joe Burrow. I mean,

686
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: I think Cam Newton's first year, you're like, you're you're

687
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 1: gonna win some games with Cam Newton. And then you

688
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,640
Speaker 1: get into these relationships where it's like Caleb Williams, where

689
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, all new coaching staff. Second year, something's good,

690
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,439
Speaker 1: it's hard. Here's where I think Caleb Williams is at.

691
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 1: I don't think he is at the place where he

692
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: can handle a ton of discomfort. I think when he

693
00:36:44,239 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 1: faces the Cowboys defense or this weekend, the Bengals defense,

694
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: he's got more comfort and extra beat to throw and

695
00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: extra beat to make a decision. He can be highly effective.

696
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: He probably needs another fifteen starts to get to the point,

697
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,960
Speaker 1: or he could face the Chiefs defense and be comfortable. Now,

698
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: some guys never get comfortable. Justin Fields has never gotten

699
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: comfortable against the league defenses. But Justin Fields will give

700
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 1: you these starts against bad defenses. You're like, oh, whoa.

701
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: But he's never been able to pivot to the quarterback

702
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: that can do it against great defenses. So I think

703
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 1: Caleb is in that. You give him the Cowboys or

704
00:37:24,600 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 1: the Bengals. I like the Bears this weekend, and it's

705
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,600
Speaker 1: going to look different last week. Ravens are healthy on

706
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 1: the road, you don't get the time, a little more pressure,

707
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 1: a little better safety play, and it unravels. Eric Mangini

708
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:41,960
Speaker 1: earlier on what he's seen from the Ben Johnson Caleb

709
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:42,960
Speaker 1: Williams relationship.

710
00:37:43,880 --> 00:37:47,759
Speaker 3: It's interesting last year when they were right before the

711
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 3: Washington game, or leading up to the Washington game, they

712
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 3: were four and two, and then they had that terrible,

713
00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 3: terrible loss, and Caleb had three games in a row

714
00:37:56,680 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 3: where he's below eighty in a quarterback rating. Here we

715
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:01,440
Speaker 3: are a year later, they have the terrible loss, of

716
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 3: the Ravens, and he's in a three game stretch of

717
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 3: below eighty quarterback rating. A year he moved with a

718
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 3: totally different head coach, a different team, different situation. So

719
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:15,759
Speaker 3: you're I'm disappointed that that that's where we are a

720
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 3: year later.

721
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I listen the A lot of guys you know

722
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: instantly not gonna work. And there's a very small handful

723
00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 1: of guys immediately you know that's gonna work. The majority

724
00:38:28,840 --> 00:38:33,799
Speaker 1: of young quarterbacks. It's the other seventy five percent. You

725
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,439
Speaker 1: see stuff, But is it ever going to sync up?

726
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 1: Like I think officially Bo Nicks works, Jayden Daniels works,

727
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,560
Speaker 1: Drake May works. I think Caleb, Williams and Pennix are

728
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,240
Speaker 1: in the you know I need I need another ten stars.

729
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 1: But the good news for Caleb, He's got Ben Johnson,

730
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 1: Michael Pennix has a defensive coach, and I think that

731
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: stuff matters. So as we look at the NFL schedule

732
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: this weekend, I like I like the Bears against Dallas.

733
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,040
Speaker 1: I like the Bears again. I think Caleb will have

734
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:11,320
Speaker 1: time just an extra beat. We showed you yesterday the

735
00:39:11,440 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 1: quickest release time in the NFL is Patrick Malmes at

736
00:39:13,960 --> 00:39:17,279
Speaker 1: two point six seconds. The slowest is Caleb at three

737
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:21,280
Speaker 1: point one. It's just a beat. It's just a one thousand,

738
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: that's it. It's just an extra beat, an extra step

739
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 1: for the receiver to get open. So the games I'm

740
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 1: really interested to watch. I want to see if JJ

741
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: McCarthy plays at Detroit. I want to see what it

742
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: looks like. Everybody loves Detroit. I'm staying away. Everybody loves

743
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 1: Green Bay. I'm staying away. A couple of weeks ago,

744
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 1: we had this where the Chargers were going to the

745
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,359
Speaker 1: Giants and the Bills were playing the Saints, and everybody

746
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: loaded up on the big favorites. I like small favorites

747
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: this weekend, and one of the small favorites I like.

748
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 1: I like the Niners and I like the Bears, both

749
00:39:56,000 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 1: as slight road favorites.

750
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 2: Okay, big update here from NFL reporters Bryce Young. His

751
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:06,360
Speaker 2: ankle is fine, no injury designation. He will start in

752
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,840
Speaker 2: Lambeau against the Packers.

753
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:09,040
Speaker 1: Now.

754
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: I haven't shifted over to the line to see if

755
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 2: it's moved, but that does something for you. I see

756
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 2: you grinning over there, almost like you're giddy to jump

757
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,920
Speaker 2: on the Bryce Young Bamboos.

758
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:24,480
Speaker 1: Also, brock Bowers is now healthy for the Raiders. Keep

759
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 1: your eye on the Raiders upsetting the Jags, and keep

760
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:34,160
Speaker 1: your eye on the Carolina Panthers making it very uncomfortable

761
00:40:34,239 --> 00:40:36,040
Speaker 1: for three and a half quarters against the Packers.

762
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: So I don't hate that, except for the fact that

763
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:42,439
Speaker 2: I'll talk about it next hour. I just the last

764
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 2: time the Packers had success. Remember they win the first

765
00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 2: two games over the Lions and Washington, and everybody crowned them, Oh,

766
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 2: they're going to be in the super Bowl, and then

767
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:52,040
Speaker 2: they just started sputtering. They couldn't cover the spread. They're

768
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:54,720
Speaker 2: not putting teams away, they don't have that knockout punch.
