I got a little in this building, no 29 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: question about that. But just you know from someone obviously 30 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 1: you played a great career in the in the NFL. 31 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: These these days leading up to the first week of 32 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: the regular season, whether you've participated a lot in the 33 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: preseason or not at all. 34 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: The preseason, you. 35 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: Had training camp and everything else, give us a little 36 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 1: sense of the mindset of an NFL players, because when 37 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: you look at Week one, you know it's the first week. 38 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: You have seventeen games over eighteen weeks and hopefully you 39 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 1: extend that season into the postseason. Are you as an 40 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 1: excited it's an excitement. Are you just sort of sensing 41 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: I gotta pace myself. I gotta get ready to try 42 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:12,200 Speaker 1: to stay healthy obviously most importantly, But what what is 43 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: that mindset going into Week one? 44 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah? Number one, no pacing. There's there's no such thing 45 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 2: as pacing. If you do that, you're. 46 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, if you don't play it, people donna understand this one. 47 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 1: If you're not going one hundred percent on the field, 48 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: you are putting yourself in jeopardy. Oh you're because everyone 49 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: else is going to get hurt. Yeah, you're gonna get 50 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: hurt for sure. 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: And so that's the thing about preseason where you know, 52 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: as a starter, you're not gonna play a lot, and 53 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 2: you want to switch your mind on to you know, 54 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: getting to that killer mentality which we have to get 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 2: you know, ready for for a long season. It's hard, 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 2: number one. But if you know as a player, if 57 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 2: you don't play hard, you're going to get hurt. So 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 2: you just you have to kind of live with the 59 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 2: results of what that is. Playing hard, You're gonna play 60 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: a basic defense. It's not gonna be anything exciting anxiety, 61 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 2: So just mentally you have to be prepared and be sharp, right, 62 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: but you know, getting ready for week one as that 63 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,920 Speaker 2: Monday of that game week kind of rolls in. I mean, 64 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: the butterflies, the nerves, the excitement, all that exists. I 65 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: don't care how long you've played. I don't care if 66 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 2: you're a twenty year guy like Tom or your rookie year. 67 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: It's your first year and so you know, the energy's going, 68 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,440 Speaker 2: the buzzz in the building. It doesn't matter if you're 69 00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 2: projected to finish last, doesn't matter if you're projected to 70 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 2: finished first. The energy is fresh and it's new and 71 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: you're ready to go. And I think that's the mentality 72 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 2: for these guys right now. They're ready to go. They're excited. 73 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 2: You know, this is the time of the year that 74 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 2: we've worked so hard to get to and now it's 75 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 2: finally here. And then your attack it. Man, you just 76 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 2: have to go with it, and you got to go 77 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 2: balls to the wall and get ready to go play 78 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: some football. Well I know this. 79 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: There are thirty two coaches in the NFL that are 80 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: going into Week one telling their teams, insisting on their 81 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: teams this is our year, the year, this is the year. 82 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: Either it's we're gonna live up to the hype, exceed 83 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: the hype, or ignore what people are saying. We will 84 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 1: shock the world. But everyone goes into Week one with 85 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 1: the mindset instilled in them by their head coach and 86 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: coaching staff, yes, that we are the team to watch. 87 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 2: I mean the prime example of that right now is 88 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 2: a team that we all know, I think everybody in 89 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: the world knows is tanking and they put out a 90 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,679 Speaker 2: clip of their head coach trying to get them excited 91 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 2: to play and go win football games. And that's Arizona Cardinals, 92 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: and we know that they're not gonna be beating anybody 93 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,280 Speaker 2: this year. So it's it's just what it is. That's 94 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 2: part of the game. And obviously the guys that you 95 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: have there, you want them to go out and play 96 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 2: hard for you still, even if you're not gonna win, 97 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: you need to go out and play hard and be 98 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 2: believe in the system and the coaching staff and what's 99 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 2: going on. So yeah, it's exciting, but also I think 100 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 2: people going to this year with a little bit of 101 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 2: a just unfound money, I would say, because they're expecting 102 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 2: you to go out there and do your best, and 103 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 2: sometimes that just isn't enough. You know. 104 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: I think back a couple of years ago Lamar Jackson's 105 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: MVP year, and you remember that very first game he's 106 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 1: coming off, you know, where he had taken over as 107 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: a rookie late in the season from Joe Flacco. They 108 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,599 Speaker 1: got to the playoffs but lost, and then you know 109 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: everyone's knocking him saying, you know, Lamar Jackson's about running 110 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: the ball. He's really not a guy what he's out 111 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: there like five touchdowns in that very first. 112 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 2: Game of the year. 113 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 1: It was against Miami, right, and he just lit it up, 114 00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: and you know his response is retort to the meet, 115 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 1: he was, how's that for running and quarterback? And by 116 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: the season's end, the guy's got an MVP award. So 117 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 1: it's amazing. Even though it's a long season, so much 118 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: can be learned in week one, yes, and really the 119 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: mindset of individual players, the mindset of a team, mindset 120 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: of a coaching staff. You can say it's just one week, 121 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: but when there's such a build up to week one, 122 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: because once you get into the season, it's week after 123 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: week after week after week, it all just seems to 124 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 1: blend together. But your mindset in week one, whether you 125 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: live up to what the coach has said, maybe exceed that, 126 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: or all of a sudden it's like, wow, we're not 127 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: that all of that can happen in week one. 128 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: Oh. 129 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 2: Absolutely, you can go straight back to the drawing board 130 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 2: after week one really quickly. I mean coaches in this 131 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 2: league have gotten to the point and really have gotten 132 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: a depth to being able to, you know, improvise and 133 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: make new game plans and ditch the stuff that they 134 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 2: know isn't going to work. And I think that first 135 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,360 Speaker 2: test is Week one. And again I mean not only 136 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: are the players nervous, I mean coaching staff is nervous. 137 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: You know, the tape guys, the water boys, like everybody 138 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 2: around the organization's nervous and getting ready to go out 139 00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: there and perform at their best. And you know, you 140 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 2: want to put that on tape regardless because at the 141 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: end of the day, right like, there is a team 142 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: and you have to perform as an individual, but there 143 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: are other people looking at you always and whenever you're 144 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: on that tape and on that field, you need a 145 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: good tape. 146 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: So all right, So the rosters are set obviously as 147 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: we get ready for week one, which will start Thursday 148 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: with the Chiefs and the Lions. Now, yesterday, as I 149 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: mentioned on the show yesterday, we here at Fox Sports Radio, 150 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 1: we have this master list of predictions. 151 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 2: Have you already entered yours? I didn't enter it yet, 152 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: but I have it in my head ready to go 153 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: today though. 154 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: Okay, well you're gonna have to commit it to paper. 155 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: Now I went out. We basically have six categories that 156 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: we put on that list. We predict our AFC champion, 157 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: NFC champion, super Bowl champion, which team is going to 158 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:33,680 Speaker 1: be the worst team in the league, who's. 159 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 2: Going to be the league MVP? 160 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: And then sort of a wild card like something that 161 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,560 Speaker 1: people are not seeing or talking about that could happen 162 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: this year. Now, yesterday I went through my list. Okay, 163 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: so I'm gonna run down now. I'm not going to 164 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: ask you out of the box here because we're gonna 165 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: do a big build up on this one, Carrie. But 166 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: where I laid myself out on and by the way, 167 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: bo are our producer. I have to mention this Bo 168 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:03,240 Speaker 1: because I was I entered my list yesterday. One thing 169 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: I will say I and I went on a lot 170 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: about this yesterday, about the Rams being the worst team 171 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and that is because the league stands 172 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 1: to gain a whole lot more if Caleb Williams walks 173 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 1: up that USC campus into Sofi Stadium, then they do 174 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:27,680 Speaker 1: if he's heading to Glendale, Arizona. I'm telling you right now, 175 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 1: the Rams will be the worst team in the league. 176 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 1: And I got sources inside that organization that assure me 177 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,320 Speaker 1: that the Rams are worse than you even imagine, despite 178 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:42,599 Speaker 1: the return of a healthy Matthew Skuasite. 179 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 4: Do you think that comes with a new coach as well. 180 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 4: Do you think. 181 00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,840 Speaker 1: Mcvagmie No, no, no, no, no, no, no no. Sean 182 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: McVay is going to get an opportunity to re establish himself. 183 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: He's going to take one for the team and in 184 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: order to get Caleb Williams in a Rams uniform. 185 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, on my list of teams that I'm fine with 186 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 4: drafting Caleb Williams, the Rams are on that list. So 187 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 4: if they want to do that, that's cool with me. 188 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:09,520 Speaker 4: I'll be all okay with that. 189 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: They're on a short list. But think again, we know this. 190 00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,560 Speaker 1: If again, for those that have been out to Sofi Stadium, 191 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: the huge building next to the stadium is the home 192 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 1: of NFL Network and the upper floors are vacant because 193 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: eventually that's where the league offices are all moving to 194 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 1: Los Angeles. They are desperate to try to get the 195 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: Rams relevant. Well, one way to make the Rams relevant, 196 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: you know, bringing in Matthew Stafford for a year or two. 197 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: And by the way, the reason Matthew Stafford is still 198 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: playing he's making an excess of sixty million dollars in 199 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: salary this year, so he's not about to retire. But 200 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: you bring Caleb Williams and then you have a Justin 201 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,959 Speaker 1: Herbert in the same building. This makes sense to help 202 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,439 Speaker 1: elevate the Rams and Chargers in the psyche of the 203 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: LA sports fan. In the city of Los Angeles, it's 204 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 1: still Dodger, it's still Lakers. In the NFL is still 205 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: far off from the distance. In fact, there are more 206 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Raider fans still in the city of Los Angeles than 207 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: Rams fans and Chargers fans combined. So look for that. 208 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 1: So I have the Rams of the worst team. But 209 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: Bo and I agree on the team that's going to 210 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl. Oh, that would be the Cincinnati Bengals. 211 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: But here's the real shot. Because he is a die 212 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: hard Eagles fan, like he lives and breathes the Eagles. 213 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: Come on, you know, yes, losing the Super Bowl to 214 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:31,559 Speaker 1: the Bengals. 215 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,079 Speaker 2: He's got the forty nine ers or something like that. 216 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 1: No, how about the Cowboys, He's got the what Okay, now, Bo, 217 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: please explain yourself. 218 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 4: Well, I try not to be a massive homer. So 219 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 4: we were talking last week. The Eagles have a very 220 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 4: rough stretch in their schedule where they go they have 221 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 4: like five games against teams that are all really good 222 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 4: and it's very hard to go back to the super Bowl, 223 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 4: so I'm not going to just put the Eagles there 224 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: by default. Yeah, I don't believe in brock perty I 225 00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 4: think that there's a much different mentality being the unquestioned 226 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 4: starter of a Super Bowl team and not a guy 227 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 4: that's just coming in to throw the ball around like 228 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 4: he was last year. And also teams have film on 229 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 4: him now and they're gonna be able to pick up 230 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: on tendency. So I don't believe in him. And after that, 231 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 4: like I'm not. You couldn't pay me to say anything 232 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 4: nice about Sam Darnold in the NFL. I don't buy 233 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 4: that at all. Uh, Dallas has a really good defense 234 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 4: and they're the Cowboys, so they're always going to get 235 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,160 Speaker 4: the benefit of the doubt when it comes to calls 236 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 4: from the referees and stuff like that, so they're gonna 237 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 4: find the an easy path I think, to being a 238 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 4: good team. And like after the NFC is just so bad, 239 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 4: like who if it's not the Eagles, then it has 240 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 4: to be either the forty nine ers or the Cowboys, 241 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 4: And I think I believe in the Cowboys more than 242 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 4: I believe. 243 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 2: In the forty nine Ers, So bo. Wait a minute, 244 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: So who do you have winning that NFC East? Then 245 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 2: the Cowboys, you do? 246 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? 247 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: Now remember this, and this is another little tidbit here. 248 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: We have not had a back to back NFC East 249 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,079 Speaker 1: champion since the Eagles rattle off four in a row 250 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 1: from two thousand and one to two thousand and four. 251 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:56,880 Speaker 1: So since two almost twenty years, we have not had 252 00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 1: a repeat NFC East champ. Wow, I mean, that's that's 253 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 1: twenty years on this right where. So anyway, he and 254 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,600 Speaker 1: I are in the court, and of course I also 255 00:12:08,600 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 1: picked Joe Burrow to be my league MVP. 256 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 2: If you got the Bengals winning the Super Bowl, Joe 257 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 2: Burrow is going to do that, all right. 258 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: So we're gonna do a lot of breaking down of 259 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,599 Speaker 1: what's going on in terms of the NFL as we 260 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: get ready for Week one. On the other side, though, 261 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: we're going to get back to certainly the biggest story 262 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 1: yesterday in college football, the shocking road victory for the 263 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: Colorado Buffalos, and how how this may have changed the 264 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: mindset of a lot of people. Here's here's a little 265 00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: tease for you. Beware, we'll explain.

So yesterday we had the unleashing 293 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 1: of Colorado and their upset victory on the road against 294 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: a TCU team that a year ago was playing in 295 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: the National Championship. Not competitively, of course, they got humiliated 296 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: by Georgia in that game. I'm a huge turnover of 297 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: talent everything else, but it was it was an eye 298 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: opening game because Deon Sanders is the head coach at Colorado, 299 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 1: and after the game, course Dion went on and on 300 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 1: about you know, you know, you know, all these people 301 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: are ripping me and everything else. I think we need 302 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 1: a little clarification on this Colorado team and what they 303 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: have and who they have on this team. And let's 304 00:14:56,080 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: talk with your Sanders, Dion's son, who had over five 305 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: hundred yards passing four touchdowns. And there's a lot of 306 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,480 Speaker 1: people that just saw this saying wow, I mean, this 307 00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,600 Speaker 1: is like the best performance I've ever seen from a 308 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: guy in his first college game, and it's like, no, 309 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: he was at Jackson State. 310 00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 2: I want to update you. 311 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: Last year at Jackson State, in twelve games, he completed 312 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,400 Speaker 1: seventy point six percent of his passes, He had forty 313 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,720 Speaker 1: touchdowns and six interceptions. In fact, in his two years 314 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: at Jackson State, with a record of twenty one to three, 315 00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: he had seventy touchdowns and fourteen picks. So this is 316 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: not a freshman quarterback we're talking about. This is a 317 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: guy who obviously is well tuned into the offense that 318 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 1: they have, and it showed in this game. So he 319 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: was a veteran going against a TCU team that does 320 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,000 Speaker 1: not have much defense, and he lit him up with 321 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: four receivers, only the second time ever in PAC twelve 322 00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: history that four receivers on the same team had over 323 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 1: one hundred yards receiving. But when we're talking about Sanders 324 00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback, this is a veteran quarterback and his familiarity 325 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: with their offense really showed against an inexperience and overmatch 326 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: TCU defense. 327 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:19,040 Speaker 2: Yes, Anders is somebody who's already you know, he's had 328 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 2: you know, games under his belt, no matter where those 329 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 2: games were, He's played a lot of football. He's won 330 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: and One of the things about him that a lot 331 00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 2: of people didn't know, you know, leading into yesterday, is 332 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 2: how smart he is. I mean, he can be accurate, 333 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 2: you can make have the armstrength through all the things, 334 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: but he has total command of that offense. He knows 335 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:40,240 Speaker 2: exactly where to go with the ball, and you saw 336 00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: that time after time yesterday he made the right play. Now, 337 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: if you make the right play as many times as 338 00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 2: he did as a quarterback, you're gonna put yourself in 339 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 2: a position to succeed. And that's what he's done. And 340 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: even coming into college, before he was a college athlete, 341 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 2: you saw this this footage and video of him training 342 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 2: with the goat right Tom Brady, So I had people 343 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 2: in his ear and the right training for a long time. 344 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 2: This guy's had to play and he's got a chance now. 345 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: So I was was senening to the guys this morning 346 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: and they were talking about the fact that Vegas took 347 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: a bath yesterday, Like a lot of money was rolling 348 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: in on Colorado and Colorado wins that game and that 349 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: was a huge payday for them and not for Vegas. 350 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: So Vega's very. 351 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: Smart and what they do is a lot of people 352 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,160 Speaker 1: are going to jump on the hype of Bandwagon. Here 353 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 1: with Colorado, now not only do you have Shador Sanders 354 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback, but he also have Travis Hunter, who as 355 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 1: a freshman last year, of course got a lot of 356 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 1: hype at Jackson State because he came in as a 357 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: five star recruit. He played both ways, and then yesterday 358 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: he caught eleven passes for you know, averaging ten yards 359 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 1: of reception under nineteen yards. He also intercepted the pass. Yes, 360 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: he plays both ways, exit and so the Heisman odds. 361 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,120 Speaker 1: So for shardor Sanders in one game, they went from 362 00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 1: one hundred to one to twenty eight to one, and 363 00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,199 Speaker 1: for Hunter they went from eighty to one to twenty 364 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: to one. So what they're thinking now is is a 365 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: lot of people, based on that one game, are going 366 00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:13,120 Speaker 1: to start pouring their money in on one of these 367 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: two guys to win the Heisman Trophy. Here's where you 368 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 1: need to slow down a little bit. So remember Colorado 369 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 1: won one game last year. Who know, when you win 370 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: one game, there's a reason you are Tarra Bull. So 371 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Buffalo's schedule coming up. So they 372 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: go in, they beat TCU, they hang on. Remember TCU 373 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: guide the ball at the end of the game, came 374 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: up a little short on a first down. Lad, There's 375 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: very conceivable. It was one of those defensiless games back 376 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: and forth. So next up for Colorado, they will host 377 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 1: two consecutive games. They play Nebraska and they play Colorado 378 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 1: State Colorado State a rival game that they play every 379 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: single year, and then after that they have back to 380 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: back at Oregon and USC at home. They also have 381 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,640 Speaker 1: on the road against UCLA, they have Oregon State, they 382 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 1: have at Utah to finish up the season. 383 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: I'll put it this. 384 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:17,000 Speaker 1: Way, the likelihood of Colorado winning more than half their 385 00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: games to me is remote. Again, if this team goes 386 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,920 Speaker 1: from one to eleven to six and six, or maybe 387 00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: even seven and five, Deon Sanders is in the conversation 388 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: for Coach of the Year. Yes, this team is not 389 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: going to go ten and two. Nope, they're not going 390 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 1: to go nine to three, which automatically eliminates any Colorado 391 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 1: player from winning the Heisman. 392 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 2: Trophy exactly exactly. 393 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: So they're hoping that people are thinking, wow, Colorado, these 394 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,680 Speaker 1: guys are I mean shirdor Sanders is going to you know, 395 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: rewrite the record books. 396 00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 2: He's not. 397 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: He's not he's going to put it up some big 398 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 1: numbers this year. They're going to be a vastly improved team. 399 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:04,439 Speaker 1: Dion Sanders is going to prove to everyone already he 400 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: proved it at Jackson State, but he's going to prove 401 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 1: it at this level that he is an elite coach 402 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: and he's going to get more and more recruits. I 403 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: think the biggest thing about the game yesterday is to 404 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: spotlight this Colorado program under Dion Sanders and get big 405 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: time recruits to consider Colorado. But don't be putting any 406 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: money hunt Hunter or Sanders to win the Heisman Trophy. 407 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: I'm telling you right now, Colorado at the most this 408 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 1: year is going to be a seven and five team, which, 409 00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: again based on a one win season a year ago, 410 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:38,120 Speaker 1: is going to be a vast improvement. 411 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,960 Speaker 2: I agree with you one hundred percent on all of 412 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: everything you just said there. I do think that I 413 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,239 Speaker 2: think the ceiling is eight wins. I think they can 414 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 2: go eight and four, seven to five. That's the same 415 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 2: thing you're saying. And you know, again you don't win 416 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 2: the Heisman with that record. So yes, it was exciting 417 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: to see it was, you know, a great brand of 418 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 2: football for week one. It was an exciting game and 419 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: I can see everybody jumping on the band and seeing 420 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,320 Speaker 2: and wanting the success for you know, coach Prime and 421 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 2: his team to do well. And I mean as you 422 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 2: can see yesterday, you look on X yesterday and everybody 423 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,640 Speaker 2: was tweeting about that game. That game was It felt 424 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 2: like a national tenpiship game right for men. This game. 425 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: Let me ask you about Shrador sanders though as far 426 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: as next level, is he an next level quarterback? He is? 427 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: He is just by his acumen of like I said, 428 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 2: getting the ball to the right person. If you can 429 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 2: get to a team like that, that's the that's the key. 430 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: Here's the one thing. He's not a running quarterback at all. 431 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean you would think, wow, Dion sanders Son, He's 432 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,679 Speaker 1: not that at all. But what I love about him, 433 00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: and this was the same thing with Bryce Young obviously 434 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: small in stature, but his ability to constantly keep his 435 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 1: eyes down the field and then it's not about running 436 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: so much as moving yourself. I mean Tom Brady is 437 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: the prime example of a guy that could buy that 438 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: extra second by just understanding the pocket, moving up in 439 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 1: space to find that next open receiver. And that's what 440 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: I saw was saying and yesterday was his ability to 441 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: buy a little time and then keep his eyes down 442 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: the field, look at his options and find that open guy. 443 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 2: The great ones can manipulate the pocket. And that's a 444 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 2: word that get thrown around in the NFL a lot, 445 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,440 Speaker 2: But those guys have a feel and when you talk 446 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,040 Speaker 2: about the quarterback, that's the ultimate feel position. And so 447 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,639 Speaker 2: when you can have a guy like Shadua who obviously 448 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 2: has that. You can see the way he moves around 449 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 2: in the pocket. He doesn't waste time. If the guy's there, 450 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 2: he's gonna get it to him and let him make 451 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 2: a play. I mean, there's I mean, the decision making 452 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:36,919 Speaker 2: was so clear cut with him yesterday. That was the 453 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 2: most impressive thing about it for me yesterday, just seeing 454 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 2: he saw the defense. He's gonna take what the defense 455 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,960 Speaker 2: gives him, and he's not afraid to take the shot either. 456 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: And so just having that combination of cool, calm and 457 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,719 Speaker 2: collectiveness as your leader, as your quarterback, I mean, you 458 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 2: know you have the right guy. 459 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: Then Yeah, I'm excited about this Colorado team. I'm excited 460 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: for Dion. I love this team. Can't wait to see 461 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: what's coming up next.

NFL media remains that the 510 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 7: two remain very far apart on the deal, and today's 511 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 7: quote from the NFL Network from head coach Andy Reid, 512 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,399 Speaker 7: I don't know when he's coming or not coming. 513 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, that is the latest. 514 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: Time he says that he is willing to forfeit. A 515 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: million dollars a week is what he's going to be forfeiting. 516 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 2: He said he can afford it. 517 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, right, because I can afford it. Was the line. 518 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,360 Speaker 7: He has racked up roughly two million dollars in fines 519 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 7: during this training camp hold out. He also gave up 520 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,879 Speaker 7: half a million in workout bonuses. He would forfeit a 521 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 7: little over a million every regular season game. 522 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 2: Miss No, it's crazy. You can afford it. Till you 523 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,119 Speaker 2: did not hear it. It's amazing. 524 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,119 Speaker 1: It's amazing when you're playing and you're making all all 525 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 1: the money. But when you're playing career ends and you're 526 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 1: not making that kind of money, you're like me real, Like, 527 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: did I actually throw. 528 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,160 Speaker 6: Away millions of dollars? 529 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: Million dollars? 530 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 2: I wish I had that eight million? Now? 531 00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 7: Yes? Yeah, yes, But Cowboys right tackle Terrence Steel, he's 532 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 7: getting paid. He and Dallas have agreed on a five year, 533 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 7: eighty six point eight million dollar contract extension, fifty million guaranteed. 534 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 6: Make that paper. 535 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,480 Speaker 7: The deal can be worth up to almost ninety two 536 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 7: million with incentives. Now we're going to talk to a 537 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 7: little baseball guys. We've got two games going on. The 538 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 7: Reds have taken the lead over the Cubs. Tyler Stevenson 539 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 7: hit a two run homer, so Red's up four to 540 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 7: three bottom of the fifth inning. 541 00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 6: The Reds right now, going. 542 00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 7: Into today's game, are tied with the Giants and the 543 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 7: Diamondbacks for the last Waldcard spot. 544 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 6: In the National League. 545 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 7: The Cubs are holding onto that second Waldcard spot with 546 00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 7: a two game lead. The Brewers have scored first against 547 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 7: the Phillies at home. It's one zero top of the 548 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,479 Speaker 7: third inning. Obviously, this weekend the big games that everyone's 549 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,920 Speaker 7: talking about, Dodgers and the Brave. Yesterday the Braves one again. 550 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 7: But Ronald Acunya Junior hit the hardest ball of the 551 00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 7: majors this year. It was a four hundred and fifty 552 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:11,199 Speaker 7: foot solo shot to center field. It came off his 553 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 7: bat at one hundred and twenty one point two miles 554 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 7: per hour. 555 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: Goodness, okay, now, Mancia I heard you yesterday on your 556 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,919 Speaker 1: show making the argument that Mookie Bets still serves the 557 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: MVP over Acunya because you said the Akunya's sixty plus 558 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: stolen bases are tainted because. 559 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: Of the last saved. 560 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 6: I didn't say tainted. I know, I did say tainted. 561 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 7: I said, we have to mention that the bases are 562 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 7: way bigger and the rules have changed. 563 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: Tainted, tainted. 564 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 4: You know it's tainted. 565 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:44,920 Speaker 2: Here, here's the here's the and. 566 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,639 Speaker 1: And by the way, John Paul Morossey is going to 567 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: join us a little bit later on, I can promise 568 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:52,200 Speaker 1: you right now, my first question to him is, as 569 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 1: a Kunya wrapped up the MVG award, I mean headhead 570 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 1: hold around, I mean. 571 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 6: This every game against the Dodger. Yeah no, I mean. 572 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: Mookie Bets hit four fifty five in August. 573 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, that's entire month. Crazy, you hit four fifty five. 574 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 4: How many of those home runs that Akunya hit did 575 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 4: Mookie give up? Though? 576 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,680 Speaker 2: Well, look, if. 577 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: This is the problem, the problem for Mookie Bets is 578 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,320 Speaker 1: Freddy Freeman. 579 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 3: Yeah. 580 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: Well, if you're making an argument, then mookie Bets should 581 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:27,879 Speaker 1: be the MVP. You can also obviously make an argument 582 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: that Freddy Freeman, right, they're gonna split the vote. 583 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 7: No, it's crazy. That's two and two of the best 584 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 7: players onto this. 585 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: This happens where you get teammates in any kind of 586 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 1: award where they'll split the vote, and there are gonna 587 00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:43,640 Speaker 1: be plenty of people that say, if you're if you're 588 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: talking about mookie bets. Freddy Freeman has been consistent the 589 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: entire year, like there's been no drop off in Freddy 590 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 1: Freeman the entire season. 591 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:56,240 Speaker 4: Akunya has been great. I just wish we would find 592 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: something other than the stolen bases to marvel about, because 593 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:01,320 Speaker 4: it's like no one remembers who the first person to 594 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 4: lead the NFL in touchdown passes was, after they even 595 00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 4: in the forward pass. Yeah, well, the rule changes are 596 00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,240 Speaker 4: insane for stolen bases inflation. 597 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: Rickey Henderson set the record for stolen bases in nineteen 598 00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,880 Speaker 1: eighty two. He stole get the you're ready for these numbers? 599 00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 1: He stole one hundred and thirty bases that year. Here's 600 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,520 Speaker 1: the more even more remarkable, he was caught stealing forty 601 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:23,080 Speaker 1: two times. 602 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 2: He's still one hundred and thirty. 603 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 1: One hundred and thirty, so he he attempted one hundred 604 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 1: and seventy two stolen bases, stole one hundred and thirty 605 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 1: and was caught forty two times. And that year he 606 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: finished tenth in the MVP voting nuts, So it really 607 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: wasn't like, you know, he was winning a lot of 608 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: MVP votes. He just made his mind set that year 609 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to break lou Brock's single season RKINGD for 610 00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: stolen bases, which he did. And by the way, when 611 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: it talked about the war stat in baseball, the stolen 612 00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 1: base is almost a zero in terms of war. This 613 00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:02,160 Speaker 1: is why when you look at the war stats for Akunya, 614 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,880 Speaker 1: they're below mookie bets. So again, well, we'll talk to 615 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,960 Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi a little bit later on because he's 616 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys actually has a say in 617 00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 1: this whole thing. 618 00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: How much in baseball does it depends on you being 619 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 2: the best team in baseball? I think some. 620 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: Degree, But I mean look at the Angels. I mean, 621 00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 1: come on, you know Mac Trout won three MVP Awards 622 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: with second four times. Now you know Tany's going to 623 00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: win a second MVP Award and was runner up last year, 624 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,200 Speaker 1: and only one of those teams. Trout's first MVP year 625 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: was the last time the Angels made the playoffs, so 626 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 1: you statistically, if you are so off the charts, you 627 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 1: can obviously win an MVP. But all things being relatively even, 628 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean this was big. I mean, if the Dodgers 629 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 1: went three out of four, sweet the Brays at home 630 00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:52,240 Speaker 1: this weekend, I don't think there's any question Mookie Betts 631 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: jumps to the top of the list. But the fact 632 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 1: the Brays come into Dodgers Stadium went three in a row, yep, 633 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 1: and Acunia hits. 634 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 2: A home run in all three games. 635 00:30:59,040 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 6: Three games yep. 636 00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,600 Speaker 1: But we'll talk to John Palmerossi a little bit later 637 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:05,760 Speaker 1: on Ali Monci.

I have 643 00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:25,720 Speaker 1: a lot of frustration going on right now. So I've 644 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:29,880 Speaker 1: had direct TV since the beginning of time, like literally 645 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 1: when direct TV began. That's a long time ago. They 646 00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:41,959 Speaker 1: were looking for sports talk guys to have Direct TV 647 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 1: put in, and the deal was obviously we had a promoter, 648 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:50,200 Speaker 1: but I got free DirecTV service for years. You got 649 00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:54,840 Speaker 1: free service, free, zero zero dollars, zero cents. And this 650 00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 1: is obviously when they had the NFL package and everything else. 651 00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 2: It was great. 652 00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:01,200 Speaker 1: And so all these years I've had Direct TV, and 653 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: frankly they were overpriced because they lost the ticket and 654 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm like, why am I paying. 655 00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 2: All this money for Direct TV? 656 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:09,920 Speaker 1: And then they had a falling out with next Star, 657 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,160 Speaker 1: which happens to be the parent company of my television 658 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,520 Speaker 1: station that I work at, so I couldn't even get 659 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: my own station on TV. So I said, enough enough, 660 00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,520 Speaker 1: take that dish off my roof. I am done with 661 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: Direct TV, give me Spectrum. So last Thursday, I'm all excited. Alright, 662 00:32:28,760 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: look college football here eu tah in Florida.

All Right, I want to talk about a 764 00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,560 Speaker 1: school that's going to be in action today. College football 765 00:37:18,600 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 1: continues today. Oregon State is on the road against San 766 00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: Jose State and Oregon State is ranked eighteenth in the 767 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,000 Speaker 1: preseason AP Poll. 768 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,439 Speaker 2: Eighteenth. Yeah. Yeah. 769 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:33,760 Speaker 1: The reason Oregon State is ranked so I they're obviously 770 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,160 Speaker 1: they're coming out a really good season. They have the 771 00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:37,640 Speaker 1: best defense in the Pac. 772 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,680 Speaker 2: Twelve in a. 773 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:43,080 Speaker 1: Conference that doesn't have a lot of defense. And they 774 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: also have a big X factor this year in dj 775 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: Uyonga La lay So dj Ouyunga La lay. 776 00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 2: I knew about him. 777 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,920 Speaker 1: I did feature pieces here in Southern California. He and 778 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: Bryce Young were the two LA based you know, Orange, 779 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: Southern California Bay. These high school quarterbacks are getting all 780 00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,680 Speaker 1: the hype. Bryce Young d commits from USC to go 781 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:08,120 Speaker 1: to Alabama and Oohyjunga lay is on his way to Clemson. 782 00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,680 Speaker 1: And we were already previewing since Alabama and Clemson were 783 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,120 Speaker 1: seemingly facing each other in the championship game that We're 784 00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:18,600 Speaker 1: going to see these two kids battle for a national championship. 785 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,839 Speaker 1: And oueyung la Lay of course is waiting his turned 786 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,319 Speaker 1: behind Trevor Lawrence. And during the COVID year, the shorten 787 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,080 Speaker 1: year of twenty twenty, Lawrence sat out the game against 788 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:31,799 Speaker 1: Notre Dame, and Notre Dame beat Clemson that day, but 789 00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: ooeyungo la Lay had a huge game, and so you're 790 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 1: just assuming, all right, Trevor is going to leave and 791 00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: oueyjung Lay is just going to pick up. So they go, 792 00:38:40,239 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson, they got Trevor Lawrence, now he 793 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:43,680 Speaker 1: got oohyjunga la Lay. 794 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,960 Speaker 2: It's going to continue for Clemson. And it didn't win. 795 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,319 Speaker 1: It did not work, and so he ends up transferring 796 00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:54,400 Speaker 1: to Oregon State. I'll put it this one. I know 797 00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,440 Speaker 1: the talent this kid has, but so much of it 798 00:38:57,520 --> 00:39:01,600 Speaker 1: is putting that talent in a right system. The Clemson 799 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:05,439 Speaker 1: system did not fit fit his talent, and Oregon State, 800 00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:07,560 Speaker 1: I'm sure, is trying to figure out, how can we 801 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,000 Speaker 1: have a system that's going to make this kid the 802 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:13,600 Speaker 1: player that we know he is. If Oregon State hits 803 00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:17,480 Speaker 1: on that, they could win the Pac twelve. 804 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:20,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it seems like you're pretty big on DJ. 805 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 2: I'm sure you've covered him and you've seen him in 806 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:24,040 Speaker 2: his glory time. 807 00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:25,960 Speaker 1: Well he's a giant. 808 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:26,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's big. 809 00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,640 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, especially when compared to a guy 810 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:31,399 Speaker 1: like Bryce Young. 811 00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:32,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it was like night and day. 812 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's go back to why didn't it 813 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:37,000 Speaker 1: work out for Ui Younglulay at Clemson? 814 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,880 Speaker 2: It seems like obviously the hype train ran out of 815 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 2: control there, and you know, you get to see a 816 00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 2: glimpse of a guy in a big time moment, big 817 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,920 Speaker 2: time game, and they have a performance that sticks out, right, 818 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,279 Speaker 2: So you see that and you see the potential and 819 00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 2: you know, obviously with the acclaim he had coming in that, oh, 820 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,760 Speaker 2: this is going to be, like I said, the second 821 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 2: coming of Deshaun Watson at Clemson, Right, and it doesn't 822 00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,040 Speaker 2: work out. I think a lot of times with the 823 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,399 Speaker 2: quarterbacks system, yes, number one, but also we talked about 824 00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,120 Speaker 2: it we should do at Sanders earlier. I don't know, 825 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,840 Speaker 2: and I'm not talking about his smarts as an everyday person, 826 00:40:12,960 --> 00:40:15,200 Speaker 2: but between the ears when it comes to football and 827 00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 2: being on the field and being able to make decisions 828 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,759 Speaker 2: on the fly when the bullets are flying. It's a 829 00:40:20,760 --> 00:40:24,160 Speaker 2: different scenario. So I think it's had something to do there, 830 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,880 Speaker 2: because obviously the skills and the tools and the body 831 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,160 Speaker 2: and the makeup, all that's there. So I think when 832 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,840 Speaker 2: I look at him, he's usually thinking on the field 833 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:34,960 Speaker 2: and not being the player that he was in high school. Yeah. 834 00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:38,560 Speaker 1: Look, there's two things you have to have to be 835 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:43,000 Speaker 1: a highly successful quarterback. Accuracy yes, and the ability to 836 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:48,279 Speaker 1: think quick yes. And recognizing in split seconds what to 837 00:40:48,280 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 1: do with the football, where to throw it away, when 838 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:52,160 Speaker 1: to take off or run, who to throw it to, 839 00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:56,239 Speaker 1: check down everything else. And it's a fine line. And 840 00:40:56,280 --> 00:41:00,440 Speaker 1: if you can't get it done yeah this quickly will 841 00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:03,680 Speaker 1: mean you're just not gonna be that next level quarterback. 842 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:05,640 Speaker 2: And it's and it happens quick.

Now that the rosters has set, 856 00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:51,440 Speaker 1: who's going to be Because we said this Carrie, every 857 00:41:51,560 --> 00:41:55,160 Speaker 1: single year in the NFL, without fail, you're gonna have 858 00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,520 Speaker 1: a half a dozen teams that are gonna far exceed 859 00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:00,600 Speaker 1: expectations and they're gonna be half a day and teams 860 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:04,280 Speaker 1: that fall short of expectations, which is why on average 861 00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 1: we have six to seven coaching changes every single year 862 00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,280 Speaker 1: in the National Football League. 863 00:42:10,600 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 2: That's a lot. 864 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:15,480 Speaker 1: That's a lot, but that's that's what's at state, right 865 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:18,560 Speaker 1: and so we're gonna break it down division by division. 866 00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,360 Speaker 1: Coming up a little bit later on the show. I 867 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:22,960 Speaker 1: want to finish up though, with the Oregon State situation. 868 00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:26,319 Speaker 1: So we mentioned that Oregon State opens their seasons on 869 00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: the road against San Jose State. By the way, keep 870 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 1: an eye on San Jose State's rushing total in this 871 00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,720 Speaker 1: game because last week against USC, they rolled up two 872 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:41,200 Speaker 1: hundred yards rushing and average seven yards a clip. My 873 00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,160 Speaker 1: guess is they're not going to get that kind of 874 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,720 Speaker 1: numbers against this Oregon State defense. 875 00:42:45,800 --> 00:42:47,800 Speaker 2: No, and they're missing their two top pass catchers in 876 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 2: San Jose State as well, So it's not gonna I 877 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,320 Speaker 2: think this game is going to be heavily in favor 878 00:42:53,320 --> 00:42:58,040 Speaker 2: of Oregon State, and so it's you know, you saw 879 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,359 Speaker 2: San Jose State play us see last weekend. You kind 880 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,040 Speaker 2: of remember them for that, but they're playing a much 881 00:43:05,120 --> 00:43:07,239 Speaker 2: different competition today on the defense side of the ball. 882 00:43:07,280 --> 00:43:10,040 Speaker 1: All Right, So Oregon State is part of the PAC 883 00:43:10,120 --> 00:43:14,000 Speaker 1: two right now with Washington State, now that Stanford and 884 00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:15,640 Speaker 1: Cal have signed. 885 00:43:15,360 --> 00:43:16,920 Speaker 2: On a future in the ACC. 886 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,120 Speaker 1: Can you imagine if Oregon State were to win the 887 00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:25,040 Speaker 1: PAC twelve this year? They say, you, I mean they could. 888 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:28,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I mean, USC is still the favorite. Obviously, 889 00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:32,080 Speaker 1: when he got Caleb Williams at quarterback, Oregon's gonna be good. Washington, 890 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,960 Speaker 1: I mean, you got Bo Nix at Oregon, obviously got 891 00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:38,799 Speaker 1: Michael Pennix junior at Washing great quarterbacks, So I mean 892 00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:41,239 Speaker 1: those teams are still there. But we talked earlier about 893 00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 1: Ujunga Lala and if he suddenly reverts to form that 894 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,560 Speaker 1: we saw the expectations going to Clemson. If he's at 895 00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,160 Speaker 1: that level, Oregon State has got a better defense than 896 00:43:51,200 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: any of those schools, right Washington, Oregon or USC. What 897 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,440 Speaker 1: would the future be for Oregon State? I mean, are 898 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:00,840 Speaker 1: they going to have a fallback to the mount West 899 00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,480 Speaker 1: Conference with Washington State or will some of these you know, 900 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 1: big players Big twelve they see see Big ten say 901 00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:14,319 Speaker 1: wait a second, I mean, and can you trust that 902 00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:16,960 Speaker 1: Oregon State can maintain that level of play? I mean, 903 00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: we've seen peaks and valleys of the Oregon State going 904 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,640 Speaker 1: back to their Mike Riley days, Dennis Rickson as well, 905 00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:26,040 Speaker 1: So they've they've had some highs and lows. They're not 906 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:29,560 Speaker 1: a complete wipeout, and right now obviously they're on the upswing. 907 00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:32,520 Speaker 1: But it would just seem unreal that this team that 908 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 1: has the potential to win the conference this year could 909 00:44:36,520 --> 00:44:39,359 Speaker 1: literally be without a home next year. 910 00:44:39,840 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. I can only see them going to the Mountain West. 911 00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,560 Speaker 2: I don't see any other entry for them right now, 912 00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:47,280 Speaker 2: to be honest. But the thing about the back twelve 913 00:44:47,440 --> 00:44:49,520 Speaker 2: right now and all these teams that we say have 914 00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 2: a chance, and even all these quarterbacks who have the 915 00:44:52,440 --> 00:44:54,880 Speaker 2: potential to, you know, be in the Heisman mixed they 916 00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:58,120 Speaker 2: all do. I don't trust any of the quarterbacks. The 917 00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,520 Speaker 2: only one, the only one that I do and know 918 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:04,520 Speaker 2: that it's going to show up every week. It's Caleb Williams, right, 919 00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:07,320 Speaker 2: and so I still think it's he's head and shoulders 920 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 2: above the rest of those guys. Those guys have flashes 921 00:45:10,360 --> 00:45:12,840 Speaker 2: of being really really good and can win you a 922 00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,000 Speaker 2: big game, but they can also lose you a game. 923 00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:18,719 Speaker 2: I've seen Michael Pennix, for example, really talented, can do 924 00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 2: all the things. I don't trust them in big moments. 925 00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:23,040 Speaker 2: I don't trust both Nicks in big moments. And so 926 00:45:23,600 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 2: you see these things and you can get enamored with 927 00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 2: the numbers and the stats that they put up, but 928 00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,600 Speaker 2: when it comes to being top of your class and 929 00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,120 Speaker 2: being the top show in all of this race, it's 930 00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:36,040 Speaker 2: Caleb Williams. And that's why you still lean with USC. 931 00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,040 Speaker 2: I just it is. 932 00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,479 Speaker 1: It really is an unbelievable here in the Pact. Well, 933 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,319 Speaker 1: this is the most we've had to look forward to 934 00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,560 Speaker 1: in terms of any kind of relevance for this conference 935 00:45:47,600 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 1: in a long time, and the fact that they have 936 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: a lot of top level college quarterbacks because of what 937 00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:57,280 Speaker 1: they do on the next level, and you know, multiple 938 00:45:57,280 --> 00:45:59,879 Speaker 1: teams in the top twenty five right now. We'll see 939 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,640 Speaker 1: at Oregon State does also a little bit later on 940 00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:05,320 Speaker 1: today we have a matchup of two top ten teams 941 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:09,080 Speaker 1: in college football as LSU and Florida State. This game 942 00:46:09,160 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 1: is actually going to be played in Orlando. Let me 943 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,600 Speaker 1: ask you about Florida State for a moment here, because 944 00:46:16,320 --> 00:46:19,240 Speaker 1: you're familiar with their quarterback, Jordan Travis, because he actually 945 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:20,440 Speaker 1: started at Louisville. 946 00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,239 Speaker 2: I think you were teammates. It was a long time ago. 947 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:25,880 Speaker 1: He's another one of those six year guys, but he 948 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,000 Speaker 1: was there, played a couple of games as a true 949 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:31,879 Speaker 1: freshman in twenty eighteen, transfer to Florida State. It's coming 950 00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:34,840 Speaker 1: off a really good year. And look, if Florida State 951 00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,120 Speaker 1: can win the ACC, I don't know what. 952 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:38,719 Speaker 2: We haven't Clemson this year, but. 953 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:42,280 Speaker 1: If they're undefeated and he puts some some big numbers, 954 00:46:42,280 --> 00:46:45,680 Speaker 1: he's going to be in the conversation. What can you 955 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:48,840 Speaker 1: tell us about this? Jordan Travis? Because I know Rich Ornberger. 956 00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:51,480 Speaker 1: I asked him last week I mean he's already putting 957 00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:54,720 Speaker 1: down money. Yeah, on Jordan Travis to win the Heisman 958 00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 1: Trophy this year. 959 00:46:55,640 --> 00:46:59,160 Speaker 2: There's gonna be money not well spent. Jordan Travis is 960 00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:02,799 Speaker 2: a guy that's he is unquestionably the leader. So we 961 00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 2: talk about that like he is that guy. He's the 962 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,080 Speaker 2: older state, the elder statesman in the row. He's a 963 00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:10,840 Speaker 2: full twenty three exactly, so he has that command of 964 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:13,239 Speaker 2: the offense that we talked about. He's gonna they're gonna 965 00:47:13,239 --> 00:47:14,719 Speaker 2: be good. They're gonna be a good team to watch this. 966 00:47:15,040 --> 00:47:17,360 Speaker 2: They're gonna be fun, They're gonna have success. I just 967 00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,920 Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna be in the conversation at the 968 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 2: end of the year, in the playoffs or the National 969 00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,400 Speaker 2: Championship pitcher at the end. And so Jordan Travis, I 970 00:47:26,440 --> 00:47:28,800 Speaker 2: mean seeing him at Louisville in the three games that 971 00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:32,279 Speaker 2: he started there was couldn't complete a ball. So he's 972 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: come a long way. I'm very confident in who he 973 00:47:34,719 --> 00:47:37,040 Speaker 2: is now as a player for that team right now, 974 00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,920 Speaker 2: but I don't see too much too much longevity in 975 00:47:41,320 --> 00:47:43,279 Speaker 2: you know, being able to be in the Heisman mix 976 00:47:43,320 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 2: at the end of the year with all the other 977 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:45,680 Speaker 2: talent around now. 978 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:49,319 Speaker 1: Brian Kelly obviously took over last year at LSU. He 979 00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: left Notre Dame. I'm sure out of just sheer frustration, right, 980 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 1: because he knew he could only go so far at 981 00:47:57,600 --> 00:48:00,880 Speaker 1: Notre Dame. You know, they have undefeated regular seasons, and 982 00:48:00,920 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: then he get into the playoffs and they just weren't 983 00:48:03,680 --> 00:48:06,319 Speaker 1: competitive because they just didn't have enough good players to 984 00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:07,920 Speaker 1: impede against the best of the SEC. 985 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:09,640 Speaker 2: So he goes to LSU. 986 00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,759 Speaker 1: His three predecessors all won national championships, like Saban won 987 00:48:14,200 --> 00:48:17,960 Speaker 1: at LSU, Les Miles won at LSU, at Origron win 988 00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: at LSU. And I think a lot of people were 989 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 1: surprised just how far LSU got a year ago. They're 990 00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:29,680 Speaker 1: preseason number five. Yeah, yeah, how good is LSU. They're 991 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:33,160 Speaker 1: really good. They're really good and and Brian Kelly is 992 00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:35,719 Speaker 1: a really good coach. Brian Kelly is a really good coach. 993 00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:37,640 Speaker 2: And I think, you know, you go back to his 994 00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 2: Cincinnati days and when he was doing what he was 995 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,520 Speaker 2: doing there and just being able to bring that program 996 00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,480 Speaker 2: to another level. I mean, everywhere he's gone, he's won. 997 00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,680 Speaker 2: Now he has the horses, you know, so to speak, 998 00:48:47,719 --> 00:48:50,240 Speaker 2: to really get it done in LSU, and I wouldn't 999 00:48:50,280 --> 00:48:52,239 Speaker 2: put it past him being right there in the thick 1000 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 2: of it to win it all. But you know, a 1001 00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 2: lot of things have to go in your favorite Brian 1002 00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,400 Speaker 2: Kelly's one of those funny guys that you know, tries 1003 00:48:58,480 --> 00:49:01,080 Speaker 2: to adapt to his situation really quickly. You saw the 1004 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,319 Speaker 2: presser when he was in LSU. He was speaking in 1005 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,600 Speaker 2: this country twang, and so he's all in, we'll see 1006 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:07,000 Speaker 2: what happens. 1007 00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:11,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is one of those guys, I mean, really 1008 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 1: good coach. 1009 00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 2: Let's see. So what years were you at Louisville. I 1010 00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:17,399 Speaker 2: was there from two thousand and two thousand and four. 1011 00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:21,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they I mean that eight Cincinnati team. 1012 00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,160 Speaker 2: I remember that. That's a really good release. Yeah. 1013 00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 1: So this is gonna be an extra interesting matchup with 1014 00:49:26,320 --> 00:49:30,279 Speaker 1: LSU and Florida State sec ACC battle. And this is 1015 00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,279 Speaker 1: this is what we find out again when we talk 1016 00:49:32,320 --> 00:49:35,200 Speaker 1: about the college football season. We talked about Week one 1017 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,200 Speaker 1: in the NFL, but in the college football season, those 1018 00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,440 Speaker 1: first couple of weeks you find out and I'm interested. 1019 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:43,960 Speaker 1: You know, yesterday Alabama got off to good start. Their 1020 00:49:44,040 --> 00:49:47,520 Speaker 1: quarterback looked good. That's always a question when you got 1021 00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:50,719 Speaker 1: Georgia with a new quarterback, Alabama with a new quarterback, 1022 00:49:50,920 --> 00:49:53,759 Speaker 1: fun Oh State. I mean, it's a little bit of 1023 00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:55,719 Speaker 1: a mixed bag. But you don't know. And that's why 1024 00:49:55,719 --> 00:49:58,720 Speaker 1: we'd brought up uong Lula at Clemson. I just assumed, 1025 00:49:58,760 --> 00:50:01,880 Speaker 1: oh right, here's our Deshaun Watson Trevor Lawrence who were 1026 00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,560 Speaker 1: younger lu Lay and it just doesn't pan out. So 1027 00:50:04,840 --> 00:50:08,840 Speaker 1: these first couple of weeks of the college football season, again, 1028 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,719 Speaker 1: there always is that team top five, top ten that 1029 00:50:12,800 --> 00:50:15,960 Speaker 1: you find out very quickly was based on. 1030 00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,839 Speaker 2: Don't be past and not on the reality of the presence. Yeah, 1031 00:50:19,880 --> 00:50:24,160 Speaker 2: that's the crazy thing. Remember in college football when the 1032 00:50:24,280 --> 00:50:27,439 Speaker 2: pressure to win every game was a real deal. That's 1033 00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,680 Speaker 2: not the same now because of you know, the opportunity 1034 00:50:29,760 --> 00:50:32,400 Speaker 2: to get in the top four and. 1035 00:50:31,640 --> 00:50:34,000 Speaker 1: That one was gonna be top twelve, so a whole different. 1036 00:50:34,040 --> 00:50:35,840 Speaker 2: So you can have one loss, right and be there, 1037 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:39,240 Speaker 2: Like one loss doesn't determine the fate of your season 1038 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:40,839 Speaker 2: like it did back in the day. You lose one 1039 00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 2: game back in the day and it was over, so 1040 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,520 Speaker 2: it takes a little pressure off. But yeah, that first 1041 00:50:45,560 --> 00:50:47,080 Speaker 2: game is so exciting, man. You get to go out 1042 00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,319 Speaker 2: there and see all the talk and all the noise 1043 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 2: and see all the hard work come to fruition. So 1044 00:50:51,320 --> 00:50:52,560 Speaker 2: it's beautiful. Yeah. 1045 00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:57,000 Speaker 1: By the way, Ucla, my UCLA Bruins playing Coastal Carolina 1046 00:50:57,080 --> 00:51:00,759 Speaker 1: last night out of the Rose Bowl. They introduced Dante Moore, 1047 00:51:01,040 --> 00:51:03,920 Speaker 1: their five star recruit who decommitted out of Oregon to 1048 00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,759 Speaker 1: transfer to UCLA. Didn't start the game, but he came 1049 00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 1: into the game, threw a couple of touchdown passes, a 1050 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:10,279 Speaker 1: couple of. 1051 00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,000 Speaker 2: Beauties, a couple of beauties. 1052 00:51:12,160 --> 00:51:15,800 Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about this during Thompson Robinson 1053 00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: dtr only knew one speed on his passes, fastball. It's 1054 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:22,440 Speaker 1: all yeah, he just he just threw the ball hard. 1055 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,319 Speaker 1: And already with this true freshman Dante Moore, he showed 1056 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,840 Speaker 1: a couple of passes where he's got touch. 1057 00:51:29,800 --> 00:51:32,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You gotta have You gotta 1058 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 2: have the change up for a quarterback as well. You 1059 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:37,799 Speaker 2: can't John hillwigh at all the time. You gotta gotta 1060 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 2: switch it up a little bit. 1061 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,880 Speaker 1: Yes, I mean, when you were going up against quarterbacks 1062 00:51:42,880 --> 00:51:46,919 Speaker 1: around the league who were the fastball quarterbacks. 1063 00:51:46,520 --> 00:51:50,080 Speaker 2: The fastball guys. You had Ben Ben Roethlisberger when he 1064 00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,920 Speaker 2: was early on was the fastball guy. Who else was 1065 00:51:53,960 --> 00:51:56,439 Speaker 2: like a fast fastball guy, he will be the one 1066 00:51:56,440 --> 00:51:58,200 Speaker 2: that sticks out right right away. 1067 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:02,520 Speaker 1: One guy that I was always told literally had the 1068 00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:06,120 Speaker 1: full repertoire of the ability to throw any kind of pass. 1069 00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,160 Speaker 2: Was Carson Palmer. Yeah, yeah, I mean he had he 1070 00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:09,920 Speaker 2: had the fastball. 1071 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,279 Speaker 1: If necess say, he could throw tich, he had all 1072 00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:13,240 Speaker 1: the different weapons. 1073 00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:17,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, Carson's fastball wasn't Ben Roethlisberger's fast So we're talking 1074 00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:20,839 Speaker 2: about was like John always exactly me. They just saw 1075 00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:22,680 Speaker 2: a clip on X the other day that I saw 1076 00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,840 Speaker 2: where it was in Super Bowl against was it was 1077 00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,520 Speaker 2: against the cow not the Giants. And he rolls to 1078 00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,400 Speaker 2: the left and throws an out route back all the 1079 00:52:30,440 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 2: way to the right side, fifty yards on the rope 1080 00:52:33,040 --> 00:52:36,440 Speaker 2: for completion. And this is like, wait, can I can 1081 00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,040 Speaker 2: I see that again? Like it doesn't it doesn't exist now, 1082 00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:39,520 Speaker 2: all right. 1083 00:52:39,600 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 1: So when he was at Stanford, Alway also played baseball, 1084 00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:46,640 Speaker 1: yep ye. And there was the legend of a game 1085 00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:50,000 Speaker 1: they played against UCLA at Jackie Robinson Stadium out there 1086 00:52:50,480 --> 00:52:53,840 Speaker 1: and he's playing apparently I guess some right field, and 1087 00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:59,200 Speaker 1: there is a shot sinking liner to center that the 1088 00:52:59,239 --> 00:53:03,279 Speaker 1: center fielder tries to shoe string and he gets under 1089 00:53:03,320 --> 00:53:05,560 Speaker 1: him and rolls all the way to the wall, and 1090 00:53:05,600 --> 00:53:08,680 Speaker 1: of course he's sliding forward, so Alway has to run 1091 00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 1: out from right field. The ball literally stops at the 1092 00:53:12,239 --> 00:53:14,120 Speaker 1: at the fence. It's at the base of the fence. 1093 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:15,160 Speaker 1: Three ninety five. 1094 00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 2: Yep. 1095 00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:22,080 Speaker 1: He picks up the ball and throws it home one hop, 1096 00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:26,480 Speaker 1: one hop, and the guy rounding third, thinking, you know, 1097 00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,880 Speaker 1: it's like almost like an inside the park home run 1098 00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:35,520 Speaker 1: is out by twenty feet and apparently there was a 1099 00:53:35,719 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: gasp in the stadium like did a human being just 1100 00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:40,000 Speaker 1: throw that? 1101 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,480 Speaker 2: You know what? That reminds me of? That reminds me 1102 00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,960 Speaker 2: of Bo Jackson's throw. Yeah, I mean, just hearing the 1103 00:53:47,960 --> 00:53:50,279 Speaker 2: story of what you're telling me, just you have these freak, 1104 00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,560 Speaker 2: these freak athletes that can do certain things on the 1105 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:55,759 Speaker 2: field that just makes you do that right there. A 1106 00:53:55,760 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 2: big one is you're just that was Elde That's crazy. 1107 00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 2: I saw him all the way back into high school days. 1108 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:02,839 Speaker 2: All right. 1109 00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:04,279 Speaker 1: Coming up on the other side, we're gonna get to 1110 00:54:04,280 --> 00:54:05,200 Speaker 1: this NFL season. 1111 00:54:05,480 --> 00:54:06,600 Speaker 2: We got Week. 1112 00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:11,279 Speaker 1: One starting on Thursday, super Bowl champion Chiefs taking on 1113 00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:16,520 Speaker 1: the Lions, is this the game potentially we'll see a 1114 00:54:16,560 --> 00:54:21,080 Speaker 1: rematch in the postseason, or is there a possibility that 1115 00:54:21,160 --> 00:54:24,160 Speaker 1: one or both of these teams are a little overhyped 1116 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,600 Speaker 1: heading into this twenty twenty three season. 1117 00:54:26,600 --> 00:54:27,359 Speaker 2: We'll break it down. 1118 00:54:27,400 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harbin, Kerry Rhodes, Fox 1119 00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday. We are live from the tay Iraq dot 1120 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:38,840 Speaker 1: Com studios. Oh, we're like you out there. We're anxious 1121 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:43,280 Speaker 1: to get this NFL season underway, and it's finally coming Thursday, 1122 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 1: four days away, when the Kansas City Chiefs will host 1123 00:54:47,239 --> 00:54:51,160 Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions. Now, no one could have predicted a 1124 00:54:51,239 --> 00:54:53,879 Speaker 1: year ago the Lions would be in the kickoff game 1125 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:57,239 Speaker 1: in game in twenty twenty three, but that's exactly where 1126 00:54:57,280 --> 00:54:59,640 Speaker 1: they are. Let's talk about this Lions team for a 1127 00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:03,880 Speaker 1: moment here, And you know, we have some die Chris 1128 00:55:03,920 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: who works here as a die hard Lions fan. My 1129 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,719 Speaker 1: brother in law, Chris, by the way, he's also a 1130 00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,240 Speaker 1: die hard Lions fan. I mean, we're talking about suffering 1131 00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:17,959 Speaker 1: beyond imagination if you're a Lions fan. I've been around 1132 00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,720 Speaker 1: a long time and they've I mean in my lifetime, 1133 00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:24,040 Speaker 1: they have won a championship, and they last won a 1134 00:55:24,120 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 1: championship in nineteen fifty seven. By the way, Buddy Parker, 1135 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:31,080 Speaker 1: who was the Lions coach when they won back to 1136 00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:35,160 Speaker 1: back NFL championships in fifty two and fifty three, is 1137 00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: a finalist for the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year. 1138 00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:39,120 Speaker 2: Get him in there. 1139 00:55:40,600 --> 00:55:42,480 Speaker 1: And by the way, the fifty seven team he left 1140 00:55:42,600 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 1: right before the season began to go to the Steelers. 1141 00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,759 Speaker 1: So a team essentially put together one another championship that year. 1142 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:55,120 Speaker 1: But since then, not only have they not won a championship, 1143 00:55:55,160 --> 00:55:59,360 Speaker 1: they've won exactly one playoff game. Yeah, and a buddy 1144 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,359 Speaker 1: of mine, Eric cran was the quarterback of that team 1145 00:56:01,360 --> 00:56:02,520 Speaker 1: they blew out the Cowboys. 1146 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,320 Speaker 2: That was Troy. 1147 00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,680 Speaker 1: Aigman's first game as a playoff game as the Dallas 1148 00:56:06,719 --> 00:56:07,560 Speaker 1: Cowboys quarterback. 1149 00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 2: The Lions blew them out. Barry Sanders obviously when Fonts 1150 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:11,279 Speaker 2: was the court coach. 1151 00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:17,560 Speaker 1: That is it, that one playoff win in sixty five years. Yeah, 1152 00:56:17,120 --> 00:56:19,759 Speaker 1: that's so when we look at this Lions team and 1153 00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:22,360 Speaker 1: the great season they had a year ago, breakout season, 1154 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,800 Speaker 1: Jared goff I thought, to be honest with you should 1155 00:56:25,840 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: have been comeback Player of the Year. My knock on 1156 00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,279 Speaker 1: Geno Smith was what was Gino Smith coming back from? 1157 00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:31,879 Speaker 2: Huh? 1158 00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,760 Speaker 1: I mean Gino Smith had never been an elite quarterback. 1159 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 1: Jared Goff had been an elite quarterback with the Rams, 1160 00:56:37,960 --> 00:56:40,920 Speaker 1: fell off and then went back to the elite level. 1161 00:56:41,880 --> 00:56:45,200 Speaker 1: So how much faith do you have in an organization 1162 00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:50,360 Speaker 1: as miserable as the Lions have been to finally shake 1163 00:56:50,480 --> 00:56:54,000 Speaker 1: that all off and build on what they did a 1164 00:56:54,040 --> 00:56:57,640 Speaker 1: year ago. Getting rid of the stench is a very 1165 00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:01,279 Speaker 1: hard thing to do. You know, I would imagine you're 1166 00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:04,520 Speaker 1: a Dan Campbell fan. I'm a Hughes Dan Campbell fan. 1167 00:57:04,600 --> 00:57:06,000 Speaker 1: We all are, I think we all are. I mean, 1168 00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:09,200 Speaker 1: he's one of those guys when you say players coach, 1169 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:12,320 Speaker 1: m h A player's coach needs to know. 1170 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:16,120 Speaker 2: What it's like to be a player. Obviously he's done that. Yeah, 1171 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,720 Speaker 2: I think he's checked that box off. He's a great motivator. 1172 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:22,840 Speaker 2: He checks that box off. But I think where last 1173 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 2: year he grew as a head coach was situationally, because 1174 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 2: when you become a raw rock guy, a lot of 1175 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,440 Speaker 2: times you make that make decisions based off of that. 1176 00:57:34,080 --> 00:57:37,120 Speaker 2: It seems like he's starting to make decisions based off 1177 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 2: the feel of the game and you know, becoming better 1178 00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:42,680 Speaker 2: at that, and so I think that's been a positive 1179 00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,240 Speaker 2: for him and his team, and also just time with 1180 00:57:45,320 --> 00:57:49,080 Speaker 2: him and learning how to take on the mindset of 1181 00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,560 Speaker 2: a coach that's that way. You also, that takes time, right, 1182 00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:56,760 Speaker 2: So I'm all aboard the Lion benwagon here. I think 1183 00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,479 Speaker 2: the division's pretty weak, and I also think they will 1184 00:57:59,480 --> 00:58:02,560 Speaker 2: benefit from that. And I think they'll benefit from now 1185 00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:05,440 Speaker 2: it's time to put it on the field, put all 1186 00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:08,080 Speaker 2: the pieces together, and I think they have the right 1187 00:58:08,120 --> 00:58:10,640 Speaker 2: coach and I think they have the right quarterback to 1188 00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:12,280 Speaker 2: do that. And I wouldn't have said that last year 1189 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:13,080 Speaker 2: going into last year. 1190 00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:15,280 Speaker 1: Well, scoring was not a problem for the Lions. It 1191 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:18,000 Speaker 1: was that defense. I mean, you obviously have a budding 1192 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,120 Speaker 1: star in Aden Hutchinson, but. 1193 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:24,760 Speaker 2: The rest of that defense was I mean bad. Well, 1194 00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:26,960 Speaker 2: they were being super aggressive at first last year, and 1195 00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,240 Speaker 2: I think they simplified things and gave their young guys 1196 00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,600 Speaker 2: a chance to actually just go play fast football and 1197 00:58:33,640 --> 00:58:35,960 Speaker 2: not thinking about it. And I think that was the 1198 00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,880 Speaker 2: reason why down the stretch they played better, because obviously 1199 00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 2: the offense could score, but the defense started to catch 1200 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 2: up and simplify things and put them in a position 1201 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:46,479 Speaker 2: to compete and just play fast and play hard. 1202 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, when you look at Jared Goff and as 1203 00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,880 Speaker 1: I you know what Sean McVay did from you know, 1204 00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:55,960 Speaker 1: Gos's first rookie season when he literally like a guy 1205 00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,640 Speaker 1: that did not belong on the field to a playoff 1206 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:01,640 Speaker 1: quarterback the very next year and played at an extremely 1207 00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:04,840 Speaker 1: high level when Todd Gurley was in the backfield, which 1208 00:59:04,880 --> 00:59:06,800 Speaker 1: was that two year run leading up to their Super 1209 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:11,880 Speaker 1: Bowl loss to the Patriots. You know, the Lions have weapons. 1210 00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:17,080 Speaker 1: And the thing about this matchup with the Chiefs because 1211 00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:20,400 Speaker 1: it would appear barring some miracle, and it's not impossible 1212 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:24,640 Speaker 1: because I know Travis Kelsey's screaming at Chris Jones, we 1213 00:59:24,720 --> 00:59:26,960 Speaker 1: need you, but Chris Jones is not going to probably 1214 00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:28,040 Speaker 1: be there Thursday. 1215 00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,040 Speaker 2: Is if you give. 1216 00:59:30,960 --> 00:59:33,920 Speaker 1: Golf time, if he's not feeling a lot of pressure, 1217 00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:38,960 Speaker 1: he is an above average quarterback, yes, because he's accurate, 1218 00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: he can get the ball in the right hands, and 1219 00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 1: he's a rhythm guy. Most quarterbacks are. If they feel 1220 00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,520 Speaker 1: comfortable in the pocket and they start getting a rhythm going, man, 1221 00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 1: they're tough. If you can't put consistent pressure on him, 1222 00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:56,240 Speaker 1: they're gonna be tough, and without Chris Jones, that's a 1223 00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:58,720 Speaker 1: different look to that front line of the Kansas City Chees. 1224 00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:02,120 Speaker 2: This game definitely means more to the Lions right now 1225 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,960 Speaker 2: going into the season the Chiefs, don't you know, it's 1226 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,400 Speaker 2: the opening game. Everybody's gonna be excited and want to play. 1227 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:10,560 Speaker 2: But the Lions have a chance right away, right out 1228 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:13,320 Speaker 2: the gate to make some noise and solidify all the 1229 01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,640 Speaker 2: talk that's been happening for any all season for them. 1230 01:00:15,680 --> 01:00:18,680 Speaker 2: So big game for them. I see, you know, I 1231 01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,560 Speaker 2: really see it being a high scoring game, and I 1232 01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:24,760 Speaker 2: think it's going to be It's a Tulsa for me 1233 01:00:24,840 --> 01:00:26,160 Speaker 2: on who's gonna win that first game? 1234 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:28,959 Speaker 1: All right, So we're gonna get your season long piss. 1235 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 1: You wrote them down, did I did not see them? 1236 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:32,959 Speaker 1: So you're gonna surprise me later on the show. 1237 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,760 Speaker 2: I wrote them down. Yeah, But this Kansas City Chiefs team. 1238 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,320 Speaker 1: Rich and I were talking about this a couple of 1239 01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,919 Speaker 1: weeks ago when we looked at the over underwins. To us, 1240 01:00:43,160 --> 01:00:48,760 Speaker 1: the one team that just seem like money in the bank. 1241 01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:52,760 Speaker 1: The overrunner on the Chiefs is eleven and a half, 1242 01:00:54,320 --> 01:01:00,640 Speaker 1: meaning it's gonna be an over unless they lose six games. 1243 01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 1: They were fourteen and three a year ago, and I'm 1244 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,600 Speaker 1: looking at their schedule and I'm like, do you see 1245 01:01:05,720 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 1: six losses on this schedule? 1246 01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:08,240 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1247 01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,680 Speaker 1: I mean where how are the Chiefs gonna lose six games? 1248 01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 1: You look at their division? The Chargers, even with Justin Herbert, 1249 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,000 Speaker 1: are the Chargers? They didn't beat anybody that had a 1250 01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:21,880 Speaker 1: winning record. 1251 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:22,120 Speaker 2: A year ago? 1252 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:27,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, the Broncos, who knows, the Raiders. I mean, it's 1253 01:01:27,080 --> 01:01:30,280 Speaker 1: a bad division. So that's almost six wins right there 1254 01:01:30,440 --> 01:01:34,640 Speaker 1: at the worst five and one. Is there any reason 1255 01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:38,800 Speaker 1: to believe even with the absence of Chris Jones? And 1256 01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:41,800 Speaker 1: of course this is the huge assumption that obviously Mahomes 1257 01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,280 Speaker 1: stays healthy. But is there any way this team would 1258 01:01:45,280 --> 01:01:48,280 Speaker 1: lose six games? This Kansas City Chiefs team. 1259 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:53,040 Speaker 2: There's a possibility, but I and I don't believe in 1260 01:01:52,840 --> 01:01:55,240 Speaker 2: the Charges enough to say they're going to win a division. 1261 01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 2: But there is a chance that because the Charges played 1262 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,160 Speaker 2: them well, yeah, and they play they played it Chiefs 1263 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:02,680 Speaker 2: well all the time. 1264 01:02:02,680 --> 01:02:04,720 Speaker 1: Well, they seem to play better at Arrowhead than they 1265 01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:05,360 Speaker 1: do it so. 1266 01:02:05,320 --> 01:02:10,439 Speaker 2: Far, and so I would be interested to see what 1267 01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 2: they do this year. And you know, Obviously, we all 1268 01:02:14,040 --> 01:02:16,120 Speaker 2: want Justin Herbert to do well. We know how good 1269 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,560 Speaker 2: he is, and I just really want to see them 1270 01:02:18,600 --> 01:02:20,400 Speaker 2: put it all together and that and that head coach 1271 01:02:20,480 --> 01:02:27,240 Speaker 2: to actually start coaching football off of not statistics and 1272 01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:30,000 Speaker 2: the field of the game. If that happens, that isn't 1273 01:02:30,400 --> 01:02:32,920 Speaker 2: I got news for you. He has no feel for none. 1274 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:36,440 Speaker 1: It's crazy when you watch that meltdown in that playoff 1275 01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:39,520 Speaker 1: game against Jacksonville. If you needed any more proof that 1276 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:43,919 Speaker 1: Brandon Staley has no feel for a game, none zero. 1277 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,520 Speaker 1: I mean again, if you're only going by the numbers, 1278 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:51,640 Speaker 1: why do I need a coach? If you're only using 1279 01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 1: the numbers they're being handed to you to make your 1280 01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 1: decisions based on some kind of analytics. I don't need 1281 01:02:58,400 --> 01:02:59,480 Speaker 1: a coach exactly. 1282 01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. Yeah, it's it's tough, man, but I 1283 01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:06,800 Speaker 2: the Chiefs losing six games, it's gonna be hard hard 1284 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 2: to fathom that, so I I just don't see it. 1285 01:03:09,640 --> 01:03:11,560 Speaker 1: We'll have much more on that and we're gonna break 1286 01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:14,160 Speaker 1: down all these divisions, but right now, by the way, 1287 01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:16,640 Speaker 1: a quick reminder, we're brought to you by Progressive Insurance 1288 01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:19,440 Speaker 1: progress that makes bundling easy and affordable.

He really is. But is filthy dirty? 1342 01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,800 Speaker 6: No, no, no, you can drink. I'm not into that as much. 1343 01:05:49,160 --> 01:05:51,000 Speaker 6: I have had a dirty martini. 1344 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:52,720 Speaker 2: And I was like, no, you haven't had a rich one. 1345 01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,400 Speaker 6: Whitched one, all right. 1346 01:05:55,520 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 7: I was talking about the NFL, which does start in 1347 01:05:57,960 --> 01:05:58,680 Speaker 7: four days. 1348 01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 6: Chiefs Lions are going to go at it. She just said. 1349 01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:04,280 Speaker 7: Coach Andy Reid Toll reporters today that wide receiver Kadarius Tony, 1350 01:06:04,480 --> 01:06:07,680 Speaker 7: who missed much of camp with the lingering knee issue, is. 1351 01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 6: Good to go for week one. But they're still taking 1352 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 6: it day by day. 1353 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,400 Speaker 7: But still Chris Jones and the Chiefs remain far apart 1354 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 7: on a deal, so he's continuing his holdout, hees. ESPN 1355 01:06:18,200 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 7: reports at the Cowboys in right tackle Terrence Steele have 1356 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 7: agreed to a five year, eighty six point eight million 1357 01:06:23,800 --> 01:06:28,080 Speaker 7: dollar contract extension with fifty million guaranteed. And we move 1358 01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:30,360 Speaker 7: on to Major League Baseball the Cubs and the Reds. 1359 01:06:30,400 --> 01:06:32,520 Speaker 7: It's actually been quite a fun game back and forth. 1360 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,240 Speaker 7: Ian Hap with an RBI single just ties the game 1361 01:06:35,520 --> 01:06:37,360 Speaker 7: for the Cubs, so it's five point five top of 1362 01:06:37,360 --> 01:06:39,680 Speaker 7: the eighth inning, Birs holding on to their lead over 1363 01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 7: the Phillies two to one. 1364 01:06:40,840 --> 01:06:42,600 Speaker 6: They're about to start the seventh inning. 1365 01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:46,160 Speaker 7: Luis Araez hitting a home run to start the Marlins off, 1366 01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 7: and they've extended their lead over the Nationals. It is 1367 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,680 Speaker 7: three to one top of the fourth inning. Going into 1368 01:06:50,720 --> 01:06:53,520 Speaker 7: today's game. The Marlins are one game out of the 1369 01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:56,120 Speaker 7: final wildcard spot in the National League, so they. 1370 01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:56,960 Speaker 6: Need this one. 1371 01:06:57,400 --> 01:07:02,000 Speaker 7: At the FOEBA World Cup, Team USA lost to Lithuania 1372 01:07:02,040 --> 01:07:04,680 Speaker 7: one ten to one oh four despite a push in 1373 01:07:04,720 --> 01:07:07,800 Speaker 7: that fourth quarter. The US finishes second in the group 1374 01:07:07,840 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 7: play and they're going to face Italy in the quarterfinals 1375 01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:15,760 Speaker 7: on Tuesday. And Rutgers is still beating Northwestern seventeen zero 1376 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:17,560 Speaker 7: about six minutes. 1377 01:07:17,320 --> 01:07:18,360 Speaker 6: To go in the third quarter. 1378 01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: Back to you, guys, this game is rough. 1379 01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:26,760 Speaker 2: It's very boring. 1380 01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,080 Speaker 1: Well, Carrie was asking me because we were talking about 1381 01:07:29,080 --> 01:07:30,720 Speaker 1: who's going to be the worst team in the NFL. 1382 01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:33,400 Speaker 1: He goes, which team is going to be the worst college? 1383 01:07:33,400 --> 01:07:34,240 Speaker 2: I go, Northwestern. 1384 01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:36,440 Speaker 1: They win a game this year, I mean they were 1385 01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:39,320 Speaker 1: one and eleven last year. They get rid of their coach. 1386 01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:43,280 Speaker 1: They literally have no offense. They barely have one hundred 1387 01:07:43,480 --> 01:07:45,800 Speaker 1: total yards in this game. I think they had nineteen 1388 01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,760 Speaker 1: yards rushing when I watched. But I'm with you, Sam, 1389 01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:51,920 Speaker 1: mister Big ten plus you know Big ten and friends 1390 01:07:52,040 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: as we right now with eighteen schools in the Big 1391 01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:56,400 Speaker 1: Ten as of next year. 1392 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,640 Speaker 8: But yeah, Northwestern, well, I mean, you're looking at Rutgers 1393 01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:01,480 Speaker 8: and they might be the worst team in the East 1394 01:08:01,600 --> 01:08:02,960 Speaker 8: and they're shutting out Northwestern. 1395 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they're driving right now try to increase that 1396 01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,360 Speaker 1: seventeen nothing the league. So it's going to be a 1397 01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:11,600 Speaker 1: long year, long year at Northwestern in football, for sure. 1398 01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:13,720 Speaker 1: All Right, I want to start breaking down some of 1399 01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:16,280 Speaker 1: these divisions. We started with the Chiefs. I think we're 1400 01:08:16,280 --> 01:08:18,679 Speaker 1: in tune here. The over under eleven and a half. 1401 01:08:19,680 --> 01:08:23,720 Speaker 1: I think we're both leaning over on this. Let's go 1402 01:08:23,760 --> 01:08:26,839 Speaker 1: down the list as far as the AFC West is concerned. 1403 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,599 Speaker 1: The Chargers holding steady over under nine and a half. 1404 01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,160 Speaker 1: They won ten games a year ago, nine the year before. 1405 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,599 Speaker 1: By the way, the two predecessors for Brandon Staley and 1406 01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,720 Speaker 1: that of course will be Anthony Lynn before him, Mike 1407 01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:44,720 Speaker 1: McCoy very similar, all higher by Tom te LESCo, the 1408 01:08:44,760 --> 01:08:48,120 Speaker 1: general manager of the Chargers. Both those guys had winning 1409 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,719 Speaker 1: seasons their first two years. Both had a playoff season 1410 01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:54,040 Speaker 1: in their first two years. Difference was they actually won 1411 01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:57,879 Speaker 1: a playoff game, unlike that embarrassment to happen the Chargers 1412 01:08:57,880 --> 01:09:00,759 Speaker 1: with Staley a year ago, but after that Mike McCoy, 1413 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:04,680 Speaker 1: two losing seasons fired, Anthony Lynn last two years, two 1414 01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:10,000 Speaker 1: losing seasons fired nine and a half for the Chargers. 1415 01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,639 Speaker 1: Where do you go leaning on them heading into twenty 1416 01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:14,120 Speaker 1: twenty three? 1417 01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,559 Speaker 2: I lean over, but by a small margin. I think 1418 01:09:17,560 --> 01:09:19,720 Speaker 2: they'll win ten games. I think they have a you know, 1419 01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:21,880 Speaker 2: one of the best young quarterbacks in the game, and 1420 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,920 Speaker 2: if he stays healthy, which we know the Chargers have 1421 01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 2: a lot of hard time stand healthy. But if they 1422 01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,479 Speaker 2: can stay healthy as a team, I would lean over 1423 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:31,240 Speaker 2: on the Charges. 1424 01:09:32,120 --> 01:09:36,679 Speaker 1: I'm definitely going under. The Chargers are chargery, Oh my god, 1425 01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:41,479 Speaker 1: they are. This is some organizations can't shake it, and 1426 01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: that's where the Chargers are. And by the way, Justin 1427 01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:47,719 Speaker 1: Herbert is looking a lot like Philip Rivers. A guy 1428 01:09:47,760 --> 01:09:52,720 Speaker 1: who's big, durable, puts up big numbers, but it's not 1429 01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,000 Speaker 1: enough to get the team over the top. I mean, 1430 01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers, I mean you want up against Philip Rivers. 1431 01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:01,479 Speaker 1: I've no Phillips High School. Yeah, I mean Philip Rivers. 1432 01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:04,120 Speaker 1: I always say this, I've never seen a quarterback. And 1433 01:10:04,560 --> 01:10:07,519 Speaker 1: on a personal level, what's there not to like about 1434 01:10:07,560 --> 01:10:09,759 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I know he's one of the great tash talkers, 1435 01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:14,639 Speaker 1: but you know, this was a guy that could throw 1436 01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:17,960 Speaker 1: to empty space like no quarterback I've ever seen. He 1437 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 1: would throw passes seemingly to nobody that a receiver somehow 1438 01:10:23,560 --> 01:10:26,479 Speaker 1: miraculously would show up right in time to catch the ball. 1439 01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,760 Speaker 1: So his ability to throw football as well documented. But 1440 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:33,799 Speaker 1: think about this, during the decade of the twenty tens, 1441 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,719 Speaker 1: he started one hundred and sixty straight games, never missed 1442 01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,240 Speaker 1: a start. In that ten year run, they had a 1443 01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:48,719 Speaker 1: losing record, never won a division title, never won one, 1444 01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 1: not one division title. They had two wildcard runs during 1445 01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:57,160 Speaker 1: that stretch. And when I watched Justin Herbert, I am 1446 01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,280 Speaker 1: seeing almost the same quarterback, a guy who had an 1447 01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:03,240 Speaker 1: incredible ability to throw football. Looks like he's going to 1448 01:11:03,280 --> 01:11:06,879 Speaker 1: be a durable quarterback. He's a big guy, but there's 1449 01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:12,479 Speaker 1: something missing. Now he could disprove me, but already when 1450 01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:14,320 Speaker 1: you look at it, Joe Burrow, or you look at 1451 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:17,160 Speaker 1: a Mahomes or you're looking at some of these other quarterbacks. 1452 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:21,120 Speaker 1: They've already shown that they can do that little extra yep. 1453 01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,120 Speaker 1: And I haven't seen it yet from Herbert, And I 1454 01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,760 Speaker 1: don't know if it's enough to overcome a coach that, 1455 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,479 Speaker 1: to me is a fraud. Yeah, a guy that is 1456 01:11:29,520 --> 01:11:34,360 Speaker 1: simply going by analytics and nothing beyond analytics. To me, 1457 01:11:34,640 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 1: I smell trouble. 1458 01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:39,680 Speaker 2: Trouble. I smell trouble for the Chargers. The Charges are 1459 01:11:41,080 --> 01:11:43,559 Speaker 2: I hate to say this word. They are an enigma. 1460 01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:47,240 Speaker 2: They really are. They've had so many teams where they 1461 01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:50,080 Speaker 2: should have at least gotten too a Super Bowl and 1462 01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,720 Speaker 2: had a chance to win one. And so to see 1463 01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,240 Speaker 2: that that hasn't happened for them, there is something in 1464 01:11:55,240 --> 01:11:58,200 Speaker 2: the water there. But justin Herbert, he has a little 1465 01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 2: thing that's things a little different there. I don't know 1466 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,960 Speaker 2: if it's I know what you're saying the comp with 1467 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,880 Speaker 2: with Philip Rivers here, but I think he's going to 1468 01:12:05,920 --> 01:12:08,559 Speaker 2: get them, get them different. Well, and here's another point. 1469 01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:11,639 Speaker 1: So Brandon Staley was brought in as a defensive coach 1470 01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,599 Speaker 1: or he was the defensive coordinator of the number one 1471 01:12:15,640 --> 01:12:17,559 Speaker 1: defense in the league. Course he had, you know, Aaron 1472 01:12:17,600 --> 01:12:20,400 Speaker 1: Donald in the middle of that defense. But I'm watching 1473 01:12:20,400 --> 01:12:24,360 Speaker 1: them play the Chiefs and Travis Kelcey is a problem 1474 01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:28,679 Speaker 1: for every team everybody, and you have a very gifted 1475 01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:32,760 Speaker 1: safety in Derwin James. But I'm watching the game in 1476 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: which I believe Kelsey threw scored three times and they 1477 01:12:36,479 --> 01:12:41,240 Speaker 1: essentially were having single coverage Derwin James on Travis Kelcey, 1478 01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 1: and that wasn't working, I mean at all. And when 1479 01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:50,880 Speaker 1: you continue to do the same thing over and over 1480 01:12:51,000 --> 01:12:55,759 Speaker 1: again and you get the predictable results every single time, 1481 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:58,240 Speaker 1: that just doesn't show me a lot a lot of 1482 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:04,000 Speaker 1: awareness awareness. You know, we talk about halftime adjustments. I 1483 01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 1: don't think he's capable of halftime adjustments. 1484 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:09,479 Speaker 2: Yeah. The crazy thing about playing a tight end like that, 1485 01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:14,160 Speaker 2: and I'm just like solely breaking down that that battle. 1486 01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:18,160 Speaker 2: I was a guy who I would guard the number 1487 01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:20,479 Speaker 2: one tight end as well, and we had Hall of 1488 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,679 Speaker 2: famers in my era of tight ends, and I would 1489 01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:27,760 Speaker 2: take that responsibility personal. I'm sure it's the same thing 1490 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:29,600 Speaker 2: with Derwin James, as that's the type of player he is, 1491 01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:32,519 Speaker 2: So I'm sure that's yeah, give him, I got him. 1492 01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:36,040 Speaker 2: I got him. But even with me, who was really 1493 01:13:36,080 --> 01:13:39,519 Speaker 2: good at that, we would have a plan B and something. 1494 01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta shake up the look, you gotta 1495 01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:45,320 Speaker 1: change it up. You can't make it that easy for 1496 01:13:45,479 --> 01:13:48,639 Speaker 1: Kelsey because he knows how to separate, he knows how 1497 01:13:48,680 --> 01:13:51,080 Speaker 1: to get that distance. And then when he gets even 1498 01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,280 Speaker 1: a little separation, he has a quarterback's going to put 1499 01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:58,680 Speaker 1: the ball on the money. I just that's that's my frustration, 1500 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,800 Speaker 1: all right. Coming up in the other there's two other 1501 01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:05,080 Speaker 1: teams in this division, and I honestly, you talk about 1502 01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:10,880 Speaker 1: two highly unpredictable teams going into twenty twenty three. The 1503 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:14,479 Speaker 1: Broncos and the Raiders are right there. We'll explain why. 1504 01:14:14,560 --> 01:14:18,720 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvin, Kerry Rhodes, Fox 1505 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:22,679 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday. We are live from the tai Iraq dot 1506 01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:25,200 Speaker 1: Com studios. We're getting ready, like all of you out 1507 01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,960 Speaker 1: there for Week one of the NFL season. Talk a 1508 01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:32,479 Speaker 1: little bit about this AFC WES. So we are in 1509 01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,160 Speaker 1: lockstep on the Chiefs that there'll be an over eleven 1510 01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:38,840 Speaker 1: and a half. We're split on the Chargers. You're saying 1511 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:41,000 Speaker 1: over nine and a half. I'm saying not so fast, 1512 01:14:41,320 --> 01:14:44,200 Speaker 1: not so fast, right, all right, let's talk about the 1513 01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,639 Speaker 1: other two teams. And really, for both of these teams, 1514 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,559 Speaker 1: the question mark is both No. I mean you can 1515 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,600 Speaker 1: say this for any team, but I mean, it's the 1516 01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:57,920 Speaker 1: head coach and it's the quarterback. So let's start with 1517 01:14:58,800 --> 01:15:03,000 Speaker 1: the Broncos. The Broncos won five games last year and 1518 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:04,440 Speaker 1: it was a disaster. 1519 01:15:05,840 --> 01:15:08,040 Speaker 2: It was a catastrophe. 1520 01:15:08,600 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: And if you've been watching Hard Knocks, I think you 1521 01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,360 Speaker 1: get an idea why Nathaniel Hackett, as good as a 1522 01:15:16,479 --> 01:15:20,719 Speaker 1: coordinator as he is, is not head coaching material. He's 1523 01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,519 Speaker 1: too goofy. There was no discipline, there was nothing, And 1524 01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:29,639 Speaker 1: he assumed that bringing in a veteran quarterback like Russell Wilson, 1525 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:32,280 Speaker 1: that Russell Wilson would assume that leadership role in the 1526 01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:36,760 Speaker 1: locker room. That's not Russell Wilson. Russell Wilson is a 1527 01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:41,080 Speaker 1: me guy. He's not a we guy. So you had 1528 01:15:41,080 --> 01:15:43,840 Speaker 1: a coach that was incapable of controlling the locker room 1529 01:15:44,200 --> 01:15:47,080 Speaker 1: and a quarterback that was incapable or not even willing 1530 01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:51,040 Speaker 1: to control the locker room, and you saw the end result. 1531 01:15:52,600 --> 01:15:55,720 Speaker 1: So now you have Sean Payton coming in and believe me, 1532 01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,759 Speaker 1: he'll take control of that locker room and he's got 1533 01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:00,880 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson on a short lease. 1534 01:16:01,800 --> 01:16:02,639 Speaker 2: It's very simple. 1535 01:16:03,280 --> 01:16:06,760 Speaker 1: If you can execute my offense, you will be my quarterback. 1536 01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:12,599 Speaker 1: If you don't, you will see the bench. You know, 1537 01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 1: you've got the Walton family that has untold riches, that 1538 01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:22,400 Speaker 1: bought the Broncos organization, and they've given Sean Payton power 1539 01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:25,080 Speaker 1: like very few coaches have in this league. He has 1540 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:26,920 Speaker 1: total control. He would not have signed on with the 1541 01:16:26,920 --> 01:16:31,639 Speaker 1: Broncos without it. He's not going anywhere. Yeah, so Russell 1542 01:16:31,640 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: Wilson better perform or he's out. So that means it's 1543 01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:39,400 Speaker 1: really who knows? I mean, can he get Russell Wilson 1544 01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:41,920 Speaker 1: back on track? The over under on the. 1545 01:16:41,840 --> 01:16:43,800 Speaker 2: Broncos is eight and a half. 1546 01:16:44,200 --> 01:16:47,240 Speaker 1: Whoa, So they go from a five and well they 1547 01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,120 Speaker 1: five and twelve last year and Vegas thinks Sean Payton 1548 01:16:51,760 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 1: it was an operation. What happened to Russell Wilson. They'll 1549 01:16:54,479 --> 01:16:58,040 Speaker 1: be back. So if you're going over, that means you're 1550 01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:01,040 Speaker 1: predicting this Broncos team is gonna have a win record. Yeah, 1551 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,639 Speaker 1: at least nine and eight. Do you see that happening 1552 01:17:04,680 --> 01:17:05,800 Speaker 1: for the Broncos this year? 1553 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:12,280 Speaker 2: I am a little torn because I do think that 1554 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:18,919 Speaker 2: if anybody can resurrect any quarterback and in his system, 1555 01:17:19,080 --> 01:17:22,320 Speaker 2: it would be Sean Payton. I didn't like the way 1556 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:27,000 Speaker 2: Sean Payton came and try to, you know, put a 1557 01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,919 Speaker 2: little caution, a little red tape on what to expect 1558 01:17:30,920 --> 01:17:33,120 Speaker 2: for this season, because he kind of did that right, 1559 01:17:33,160 --> 01:17:35,400 Speaker 2: He said, this team was a mess, this team was this, 1560 01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:37,800 Speaker 2: the head coach, the previous head coach was this and 1561 01:17:37,880 --> 01:17:40,160 Speaker 2: that and whatever, and so he put like a little 1562 01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:44,240 Speaker 2: disclaimer out there early to kind of soften, you know, 1563 01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,719 Speaker 2: the impact of what he would have in this team 1564 01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:51,280 Speaker 2: going forward. So, you know, I would think that nine 1565 01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 2: wins could be feasible, but I'm gonna have to take 1566 01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:57,400 Speaker 2: the under here because I don't trust what Russell Wilson 1567 01:17:57,400 --> 01:17:57,680 Speaker 2: can do. 1568 01:17:57,800 --> 01:18:01,480 Speaker 1: All Right, Well, let's let's keep in mind the Broncos 1569 01:18:01,600 --> 01:18:06,160 Speaker 1: won that last Super Bowl in Peyton Manning's final season. 1570 01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:12,760 Speaker 1: The Broncos records in those seasons since then, so the 1571 01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:16,799 Speaker 1: year after they went nine and seven, and their records 1572 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,240 Speaker 1: in the last six years are five and eleven, six 1573 01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 1: and ten, seven and nine, five and eleven, seven and ten, 1574 01:18:22,040 --> 01:18:27,559 Speaker 1: five and twelve. Oh, they've finished last in this division 1575 01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:32,600 Speaker 1: three straight years. So I think there's a lot there. Yeah, 1576 01:18:32,640 --> 01:18:35,320 Speaker 1: I think again, why he did what he did and 1577 01:18:35,360 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 1: throwing Hacket under the bus was trying to convince everyone 1578 01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:41,800 Speaker 1: in the locker room. But the only reason you guys 1579 01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:44,639 Speaker 1: were five and twelve, it's not the talent in this room, 1580 01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:48,599 Speaker 1: it's that you had the worst coaching staff we've ever seen. 1581 01:18:50,200 --> 01:18:52,679 Speaker 1: That's the only explanation why I had team with this 1582 01:18:52,840 --> 01:18:53,599 Speaker 1: kind of talent. 1583 01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,519 Speaker 2: But do they really have that kind of talent? 1584 01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 1: I'm with you, I'm going under on this one. I mean, 1585 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:02,400 Speaker 1: they haven't seen nine wins in a long time, and 1586 01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,400 Speaker 1: that's what it's going to take to go over all 1587 01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:09,280 Speaker 1: right quickly on the Raiders six and eleven in his 1588 01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:12,240 Speaker 1: last thirty nine games as a head coach, Josh McDaniels 1589 01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,519 Speaker 1: is eleven and twenty eight. Keep bringing Jimmy Garoppolo's a 1590 01:19:15,520 --> 01:19:17,760 Speaker 1: proven winner when he can stay on the field. Yes, 1591 01:19:18,080 --> 01:19:19,519 Speaker 1: the over under is six and a half. 1592 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:19,880 Speaker 2: Yep. 1593 01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:22,360 Speaker 1: So they're basically saying they're pretty much worthy were a 1594 01:19:22,479 --> 01:19:27,320 Speaker 1: year ago. Maybe a tick up? Are they a tickup team? 1595 01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,120 Speaker 2: I think I will go over. I think they are 1596 01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:34,000 Speaker 2: a tickup team. I think if Jimmy stays healthy Jacob's 1597 01:19:34,040 --> 01:19:35,880 Speaker 2: back in the fold. Who can take the pressure off 1598 01:19:35,880 --> 01:19:40,160 Speaker 2: of him and you know, keep it short and sweet. 1599 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:44,280 Speaker 2: I say, over, why are you going short and sweet? 1600 01:19:44,280 --> 01:19:47,240 Speaker 1: Here? Let's take this another way. Hold on a second here, 1601 01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:55,320 Speaker 1: I come on, Steve, We're doing good here. Jimmy Garoppolo 1602 01:19:55,680 --> 01:19:56,800 Speaker 1: has to obviously stay up. 1603 01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 2: Yes he does. 1604 01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,800 Speaker 1: He has the seventh highest winning percentage of any quarterback. 1605 01:20:00,439 --> 01:20:02,200 Speaker 2: In the history of the National Football League. 1606 01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,240 Speaker 1: And what makes it even more impressive is look at 1607 01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,080 Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan's record with the forty nine ers with him 1608 01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:10,200 Speaker 1: without Jimmy Garoppolo, It's like night and day. 1609 01:20:10,760 --> 01:20:11,639 Speaker 2: Garoppolo is a winner. 1610 01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:14,240 Speaker 1: He's also got a career passer rating of one hundred, 1611 01:20:14,960 --> 01:20:17,479 Speaker 1: so it's not some smoke a merrors deal. 1612 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:18,080 Speaker 2: Okay. 1613 01:20:18,400 --> 01:20:20,600 Speaker 1: He can get the job done on the field, and 1614 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:25,200 Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels obviously knows him. It's hard for me and 1615 01:20:25,280 --> 01:20:28,639 Speaker 1: leaning on this one, I'm gonna lean over there you. 1616 01:20:28,560 --> 01:20:29,000 Speaker 2: Go, Steve. 1617 01:20:29,439 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 1: I mean, can they win seven games? Can they go 1618 01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:33,639 Speaker 1: seven to ten? 1619 01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:34,479 Speaker 2: Yes? 1620 01:20:34,479 --> 01:20:37,080 Speaker 1: This is assuming again Josh Jacobs. But then look at 1621 01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:40,439 Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs did what he did a year ago. DeVante 1622 01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:41,960 Speaker 1: Adams did what he did a year ago. 1623 01:20:44,400 --> 01:20:47,919 Speaker 2: Come on step over. That's an over divine diablo. 1624 01:20:48,280 --> 01:20:51,519 Speaker 1: Key to that defense, key to that defense, because if 1625 01:20:51,560 --> 01:20:54,800 Speaker 1: that guy is who they think he is, defensively, the 1626 01:20:54,920 --> 01:20:57,000 Speaker 1: Raiders will go over. All right, we got much more 1627 01:20:57,120 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: NFL to break onund getting ready for a week one. 1628 01:20:59,240 --> 01:21:01,000 Speaker 2: This Fox Sports Sunday. 1629 01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,840 Speaker 1: Carrying on here on this big Sunday in the sports world. 1630 01:21:05,840 --> 01:21:08,719 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday. We are broadcasting live from 1631 01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,160 Speaker 1: the tire rack dot Com studios. 1632 01:21:10,200 --> 01:21:10,960 Speaker 2: Tyrack dot com. 1633 01:21:10,960 --> 01:21:13,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna help get you there and on matched selection, 1634 01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:16,160 Speaker 1: fast reshipping, free road ads, a protection over ten thousand 1635 01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:21,040 Speaker 1: recommended installers, tire rack dot com, the way tire buying 1636 01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:24,120 Speaker 1: should be. Look, we're gonna be one hundred percent honest 1637 01:21:24,120 --> 01:21:27,160 Speaker 1: with you here, I mean right now today. As far 1638 01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:32,040 Speaker 1: as a Division one FBS games and college football, we 1639 01:21:32,040 --> 01:21:32,880 Speaker 1: have three today. 1640 01:21:33,520 --> 01:21:35,080 Speaker 2: Okay, one of them. 1641 01:21:34,960 --> 01:21:37,559 Speaker 1: Being played right now one of the most unwatchable games 1642 01:21:37,600 --> 01:21:41,800 Speaker 1: I've ever witnessed, as Rutgers leads Northwestern by a score 1643 01:21:41,840 --> 01:21:45,120 Speaker 1: of twenty four to nothing. These are the bottom feeders 1644 01:21:45,160 --> 01:21:48,760 Speaker 1: of the Big Ten. So that's what we've been exposed to. 1645 01:21:48,840 --> 01:21:51,240 Speaker 1: Now we're gonna follow up with a matchup I'm very 1646 01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,519 Speaker 1: interested in kick off in about a half an hour. 1647 01:21:53,560 --> 01:21:56,200 Speaker 1: Oregon State on the road against San Jose State, and 1648 01:21:56,240 --> 01:21:58,920 Speaker 1: then later of course a big matchup with LSU and 1649 01:21:59,040 --> 01:22:03,000 Speaker 1: Florida State game. I'm really really anticipating it's going to 1650 01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:05,040 Speaker 1: be a good matchup. So they've got some good college 1651 01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:08,200 Speaker 1: football going on today. But it's the bye week that 1652 01:22:08,360 --> 01:22:12,200 Speaker 1: is now the norm in the NFL before Week one. 1653 01:22:13,880 --> 01:22:16,639 Speaker 1: And by the way, we were talking yesterday Carrie about 1654 01:22:16,640 --> 01:22:20,160 Speaker 1: this idea of cutting from ninety to fifty three. Used 1655 01:22:20,200 --> 01:22:21,800 Speaker 1: to be it was, you know, you'd cut it from 1656 01:22:21,840 --> 01:22:25,479 Speaker 1: like ninety to seventy, seventy to fifty three whatever. And 1657 01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:29,040 Speaker 1: by the way, the practice squads are expanded to sixteen now, 1658 01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:31,800 Speaker 1: so a lot of teams are picking up players, but 1659 01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:37,240 Speaker 1: no real shockers. Max Duggan, all right, so he got released. 1660 01:22:38,479 --> 01:22:39,920 Speaker 1: You know, a year ago, he's running up for the 1661 01:22:39,960 --> 01:22:42,640 Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy. This was a guy a year ago this 1662 01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:46,840 Speaker 1: time that wasn't even TCU's starting quarterback. Oh Dykes came 1663 01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,479 Speaker 1: in and basically benched this guy who had been the 1664 01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,080 Speaker 1: starting quarterback, and then an injury allowed him to get 1665 01:22:52,120 --> 01:22:55,559 Speaker 1: back in and then he has a magical season. But 1666 01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:56,879 Speaker 1: he's not an NFL quarterback. 1667 01:22:57,600 --> 01:23:00,519 Speaker 2: No, you could see that with them play and in 1668 01:23:00,600 --> 01:23:03,599 Speaker 2: those games, especially in the game against the real defense 1669 01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,320 Speaker 2: Georgia defense who's got NFL players on it, you could 1670 01:23:06,360 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 2: see the distinction there. But it's funny Mills started yesterday 1671 01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:13,000 Speaker 2: and TCU losing. So the magic of Max Duggan is 1672 01:23:13,000 --> 01:23:16,200 Speaker 2: still there at TCU. Yeah, I mean you can't. 1673 01:23:16,360 --> 01:23:20,439 Speaker 1: I always say this about great college players that don't 1674 01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:26,040 Speaker 1: pan out at the next level and sometimes like Heisman 1675 01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:30,000 Speaker 1: Trophy winners, right, and like if a Heisman Trophy winner 1676 01:23:30,200 --> 01:23:32,639 Speaker 1: fizzles at the NFL, oh wait, he was. 1677 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:34,519 Speaker 2: Overrated, I'm like, well, whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whah. 1678 01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:37,320 Speaker 1: I mean I go old school with Ty deptmer at 1679 01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 1: Byu go Ti deptmar Okay. Ty deptmer at Byu was 1680 01:23:40,520 --> 01:23:43,519 Speaker 1: one of the most unreal college quarterbacks ever. I saw 1681 01:23:43,560 --> 01:23:46,400 Speaker 1: a game once where he uy is playing San Diego State. 1682 01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,120 Speaker 1: This was Marshall Falk's freshman year at Sandego State and 1683 01:23:50,280 --> 01:23:53,600 Speaker 1: b Yu was down four touchdowns and came back to 1684 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and the game ended in a tie. 1685 01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,200 Speaker 2: This is before the overtime role in college. 1686 01:23:56,920 --> 01:24:00,920 Speaker 1: For fifty two all Wow and debor in this game 1687 01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 1: through for five hundred and ninety nine yards. So here 1688 01:24:04,160 --> 01:24:07,880 Speaker 1: was this diminutive guy and it was so funny. Norm Chow, 1689 01:24:08,080 --> 01:24:11,599 Speaker 1: longtime offensive coordinator there, and of course went to USC 1690 01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:15,439 Speaker 1: with you know, Carson Palmer, Matt Liiner, and they had 1691 01:24:15,439 --> 01:24:17,000 Speaker 1: been down for a couple of years with the quarterback 1692 01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,200 Speaker 1: Levell Edwards, their Hall of Fame coach there, and he 1693 01:24:19,280 --> 01:24:22,240 Speaker 1: was like, Norm, give me a quarterback, and he says, 1694 01:24:22,240 --> 01:24:22,960 Speaker 1: I got a kid. 1695 01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,800 Speaker 2: I got a kid out of Texas and he's hyping. 1696 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:29,919 Speaker 1: Him up, and Lavelle Edwards says, I'm expecting John Elwhite 1697 01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:32,000 Speaker 1: to walk in the door and here's Pee wee Herman. 1698 01:24:32,520 --> 01:24:34,400 Speaker 2: Are you kidding? This is our quarterback? 1699 01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:40,240 Speaker 1: But his football IQ was so off the charts and 1700 01:24:40,320 --> 01:24:44,800 Speaker 1: he could execute that in the Old Wack Conference, and 1701 01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:48,400 Speaker 1: of course he beat national champion Miami in the opening 1702 01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 1: game of the year. He won the Heisman Trophy and 1703 01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:52,680 Speaker 1: that's really what won him. The Heisman just carved him up. 1704 01:24:53,439 --> 01:24:55,879 Speaker 1: But he didn't have the stature to play in the NFL. 1705 01:24:56,000 --> 01:24:58,280 Speaker 1: You know, he played fourteen years for a while, yeah, 1706 01:24:58,320 --> 01:25:01,400 Speaker 1: you know, because that brain was of value on the sidelines. 1707 01:25:01,439 --> 01:25:03,679 Speaker 1: He was with Brett Farr at the beginning of his career. 1708 01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:07,000 Speaker 1: Everyone to work with. This guy said, you have no idea, 1709 01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:09,800 Speaker 1: Like he saw things you know that we didn't see, 1710 01:25:09,800 --> 01:25:12,200 Speaker 1: and it really helped us out. So I never take 1711 01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:16,639 Speaker 1: away nothing takes away Macduggins Max Duggan's season at TCU. 1712 01:25:16,720 --> 01:25:20,120 Speaker 1: I mean it was a fabulous season. And honestly, had 1713 01:25:20,160 --> 01:25:23,280 Speaker 1: they won that Big twelve championship game, I had him 1714 01:25:23,360 --> 01:25:26,600 Speaker 1: second on my final ballot, behind Caleb Williams. But with 1715 01:25:26,720 --> 01:25:32,800 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams losing to Utah, had had TCU won that 1716 01:25:32,880 --> 01:25:34,680 Speaker 1: game and gone undefeated. 1717 01:25:34,240 --> 01:25:36,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, would you have changed a vote? Dugan would have 1718 01:25:36,680 --> 01:25:39,639 Speaker 2: had my vone. Wow, it was. It was that close 1719 01:25:39,720 --> 01:25:45,559 Speaker 2: for me. Talk about a story book potential situation there. Obviously, 1720 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:47,840 Speaker 2: even losing that game and still having a chance to 1721 01:25:48,400 --> 01:25:51,760 Speaker 2: make the final four, beat Michigan, beat Michigan, get to 1722 01:25:51,800 --> 01:25:55,160 Speaker 2: the championship game as a reserve player. Oh, the story 1723 01:25:55,200 --> 01:25:57,320 Speaker 2: would have been crazy. Yeah, this guy's had a heart 1724 01:25:57,479 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 2: sat perce. It was great, Greg. 1725 01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:02,000 Speaker 1: Really two separate things when we talk about the college 1726 01:26:02,080 --> 01:26:05,200 Speaker 1: ranks in the NFL, two different sports and completely all right, 1727 01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:07,599 Speaker 1: let's pick up where we left off. So we were 1728 01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:12,040 Speaker 1: talking about the AFC West. Let's go to the NFC. 1729 01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:13,160 Speaker 2: North, NFC North. 1730 01:26:13,200 --> 01:26:15,400 Speaker 1: All right, so we because the reason we're starting. We 1731 01:26:15,439 --> 01:26:17,800 Speaker 1: have the first matchup on Thursday between the Chiefs and 1732 01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:19,519 Speaker 1: the Lions. So we talked a little bit about this 1733 01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:23,920 Speaker 1: Lions team over under nine and a half and you're 1734 01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 1: leaning over over for sure that this is no accident 1735 01:26:29,200 --> 01:26:31,160 Speaker 1: what happened a year ago, And I'm with you. I'm 1736 01:26:31,960 --> 01:26:35,200 Speaker 1: leaning over on Detroit. Yeah, I'm a believer in golf. 1737 01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:38,360 Speaker 1: I'm certainly a believer in Dan Campbell. They got a 1738 01:26:38,439 --> 01:26:41,280 Speaker 1: lot off, a lot of weapons. That defense is just 1739 01:26:41,320 --> 01:26:42,599 Speaker 1: got to They can't be any worse. 1740 01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:44,760 Speaker 2: They won't be any worse. I mean, they got to 1741 01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,479 Speaker 2: get better, right Steve. Like I said, the carryover from 1742 01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,800 Speaker 2: the end of the year, just knowing what personnel you 1743 01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,040 Speaker 2: have and knowing what they can do. They got the 1744 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,280 Speaker 2: tape of that. Now, they got a sense of who 1745 01:26:56,280 --> 01:26:58,720 Speaker 2: they are as a defense. And I think that's the 1746 01:26:58,720 --> 01:27:03,160 Speaker 2: beautiful thing about coaching and about actually putting your players 1747 01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:07,080 Speaker 2: in the position to succeed. You have a system in 1748 01:27:07,160 --> 01:27:09,120 Speaker 2: place that you want to run, you have schemes, you 1749 01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,920 Speaker 2: have all these ideas, but once you're able to see 1750 01:27:11,920 --> 01:27:13,519 Speaker 2: it on the field and see how they play and 1751 01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:17,000 Speaker 2: how they perform and you put them in that position 1752 01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:19,960 Speaker 2: to do that. Again, that's what will happen here. And yeah, 1753 01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,160 Speaker 2: I mean definitely over here for the Lions. 1754 01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:25,519 Speaker 1: All right, So let's talk about this NFC North yep, 1755 01:27:25,760 --> 01:27:29,240 Speaker 1: and let's start from the bottom up. Chicago Bears were 1756 01:27:29,280 --> 01:27:31,200 Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFL a year ago. They 1757 01:27:31,360 --> 01:27:34,360 Speaker 1: wrapped up their season at three and fourteen, earning them 1758 01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:41,120 Speaker 1: the first pick in the draft. And it's about Justin Fields. 1759 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:45,839 Speaker 1: This team ended the season on a ten game losing streak. 1760 01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:51,760 Speaker 1: Now here's what's interesting about their over underwins three and 1761 01:27:51,880 --> 01:27:55,759 Speaker 1: fourteen a year ago. In Vegas, it's holding steady seven 1762 01:27:55,800 --> 01:28:03,880 Speaker 1: and a half. So again, Vegas doesn't lose money. They 1763 01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:06,400 Speaker 1: know how to put a number up there that people 1764 01:28:06,400 --> 01:28:08,479 Speaker 1: are going to believe in this team. But I mean, 1765 01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,479 Speaker 1: an over means they have to at least win five 1766 01:28:13,560 --> 01:28:15,720 Speaker 1: more games than they did a year ago. You have 1767 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:20,519 Speaker 1: to win eight games eight nine, eight and nine. So 1768 01:28:20,640 --> 01:28:24,639 Speaker 1: let's start with Justin Fields for a moment here. Ohio 1769 01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:28,200 Speaker 1: State's quarterbacks. Let's face it, there's a long list of 1770 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:31,840 Speaker 1: highly celebrated Ohio State quarterbacks that have not panned out 1771 01:28:31,880 --> 01:28:35,720 Speaker 1: in the NFL. Absolutely one after another. And I look 1772 01:28:35,720 --> 01:28:37,880 Speaker 1: at Justin Fields even going back to his high school 1773 01:28:37,920 --> 01:28:39,720 Speaker 1: days when he was a super hype kid out of 1774 01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:43,000 Speaker 1: Georgia and then he goes to Georgia and something happened 1775 01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,960 Speaker 1: there Where's he able to transfer immediately to Ohio State. 1776 01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,160 Speaker 1: And again, when you're throwing to a team that has, 1777 01:28:48,280 --> 01:28:51,879 Speaker 1: you know, multiple All American wide receivers that are seemingly 1778 01:28:51,920 --> 01:28:54,920 Speaker 1: wide open, you know, it's hard to gauge just how 1779 01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:59,479 Speaker 1: that translates to the next level. I still believe in 1780 01:28:59,600 --> 01:29:03,840 Speaker 1: Justin Field. Okay, are the Bears as bad as they 1781 01:29:03,880 --> 01:29:09,439 Speaker 1: were a year ago? To me, a record is what 1782 01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:14,519 Speaker 1: you are. But I think the potential is there. But 1783 01:29:14,680 --> 01:29:16,400 Speaker 1: a five game leap. 1784 01:29:16,880 --> 01:29:17,479 Speaker 2: What do you think? 1785 01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 1: I don't see the only the only thing that could 1786 01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:26,080 Speaker 1: be their saving grace is that this whole division is 1787 01:29:26,320 --> 01:29:30,760 Speaker 1: so bad that they win let's say three games in 1788 01:29:30,800 --> 01:29:32,640 Speaker 1: their division and then all of a sudden, you have 1789 01:29:32,680 --> 01:29:34,320 Speaker 1: to win a few more out of the division. But 1790 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:37,160 Speaker 1: from three to eight, I can't see that. 1791 01:29:37,200 --> 01:29:39,160 Speaker 2: I gotta go under. Here you go under. Yeah, I 1792 01:29:39,160 --> 01:29:41,599 Speaker 2: can definitely see them winning three division games and splitting 1793 01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:43,360 Speaker 2: because those teams are going to beat each other up 1794 01:29:44,720 --> 01:29:48,000 Speaker 2: and neither neither one of them outside of Detroit I 1795 01:29:48,040 --> 01:29:54,799 Speaker 2: think is particularly good. Uh So I'm definitely going under 1796 01:29:56,040 --> 01:30:00,840 Speaker 2: for sure. And I don't know how much Fields can 1797 01:30:00,920 --> 01:30:05,559 Speaker 2: carry that team. I mean, they have their devout of 1798 01:30:06,560 --> 01:30:09,960 Speaker 2: upper echelon talent on that team. I mean, what is 1799 01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,759 Speaker 2: the strength of the Bears. I don't know. It seems 1800 01:30:12,760 --> 01:30:14,880 Speaker 2: like they're putting everything on Justin Fields, and I just 1801 01:30:15,400 --> 01:30:17,639 Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. Not the way that he plays, 1802 01:30:17,680 --> 01:30:19,920 Speaker 2: the style of football that he's going to have to 1803 01:30:19,960 --> 01:30:22,479 Speaker 2: play for them to win, this is not going to happen. 1804 01:30:22,800 --> 01:30:23,720 Speaker 2: It's funny, you know. 1805 01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:25,800 Speaker 1: He had this preseason game where I think his first 1806 01:30:25,800 --> 01:30:28,519 Speaker 1: two passes were like seven yard touchdowns, and if you're 1807 01:30:28,560 --> 01:30:31,160 Speaker 1: not watching the game, we're like, wow, bombs away a 1808 01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:35,040 Speaker 1: couple of bubble screens. Yeah, exactly where he actually threw 1809 01:30:35,080 --> 01:30:37,800 Speaker 1: the ball behind the line of scrimmage, completed the ball 1810 01:30:37,960 --> 01:30:40,479 Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, and then the receiver does 1811 01:30:40,479 --> 01:30:42,439 Speaker 1: the rest. I think we're both in the corven the 1812 01:30:42,479 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 1: Bears away, all right, so they're over under his seven 1813 01:30:45,800 --> 01:30:46,120 Speaker 1: and a half. 1814 01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:48,320 Speaker 2: Guess who else is at seven and a half? The Packers? 1815 01:30:48,880 --> 01:30:53,640 Speaker 1: Okay, interesting, So all we're hearing about Jordan Love is 1816 01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:58,599 Speaker 1: way to you see Jordan Love. Way to you see 1817 01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,599 Speaker 1: Jordan Love. So this is a Packer team before last 1818 01:31:01,600 --> 01:31:04,639 Speaker 1: season that obviously was coming off back to back thirteen 1819 01:31:04,680 --> 01:31:07,360 Speaker 1: win seasons in which Aaron Rodgers is the league MVP, 1820 01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 1: and then last year they took a mighty leap backwards, 1821 01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:15,840 Speaker 1: which raised a lot of questions. Was it no DeVante 1822 01:31:15,840 --> 01:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Adams as far as the receiver's concern, was Aaron Rodgers regressing? 1823 01:31:21,920 --> 01:31:24,439 Speaker 1: Because here's what I saw with Aaron Rodgers and even 1824 01:31:24,439 --> 01:31:26,599 Speaker 1: get to the Jets in their future down the road. 1825 01:31:26,640 --> 01:31:30,400 Speaker 1: But I'm watching a lot of Aaron Rodgers and I'm 1826 01:31:30,400 --> 01:31:34,320 Speaker 1: seeing passes that are late passes that are lacking the 1827 01:31:34,360 --> 01:31:37,880 Speaker 1: steam they used to have. So to me was a 1828 01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:41,120 Speaker 1: combination of a lot of things that led to the 1829 01:31:41,120 --> 01:31:43,880 Speaker 1: Packers fall where they got to the final game still 1830 01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:45,639 Speaker 1: with a chance to make the playoffs, and they got 1831 01:31:45,680 --> 01:31:50,880 Speaker 1: boat raced by the Lions in that final game. Jordan 1832 01:31:50,960 --> 01:31:53,519 Speaker 1: Love has been in the system now for several years 1833 01:31:53,680 --> 01:31:57,639 Speaker 1: under the floor, so he knows the system. And again 1834 01:31:57,760 --> 01:32:02,240 Speaker 1: we saw similar handoff from Brett Favre to Aaron Rodgers. 1835 01:32:03,040 --> 01:32:04,640 Speaker 2: But remember Aaron. 1836 01:32:04,439 --> 01:32:07,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers first year as the starting quarterback of the Packers. 1837 01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:12,160 Speaker 1: They actually took a little step backwards. So again I'm 1838 01:32:12,200 --> 01:32:14,880 Speaker 1: looking at a bad division where if somebody, you know, 1839 01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:18,080 Speaker 1: gets a few breaks their way could surprise. 1840 01:32:18,400 --> 01:32:21,360 Speaker 2: Yep. But I don't see the Packers as that team. 1841 01:32:21,840 --> 01:32:26,719 Speaker 2: I'm with the same seven and a half. I'm going under, 1842 01:32:26,760 --> 01:32:30,960 Speaker 2: you're going under, all right, This is my this is 1843 01:32:31,000 --> 01:32:36,400 Speaker 2: my interesting one. You you mentioned the Brett fav of 1844 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:39,280 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers situation to hand off the passion of the baton, 1845 01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:44,080 Speaker 2: so to speak. The baton has been passed here. I 1846 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,080 Speaker 2: don't know. I think we all knew how good Aaron 1847 01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:49,559 Speaker 2: Rodgers could be and would be. Join Love is still 1848 01:32:49,600 --> 01:32:51,599 Speaker 2: of a question still a little bit of a question mark. 1849 01:32:53,080 --> 01:32:57,320 Speaker 2: But that team is put together, still pretty well, really 1850 01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,479 Speaker 2: good defense. You got great corners on that, you got 1851 01:33:00,479 --> 01:33:03,679 Speaker 2: guys who can make plays. The receivers are a year 1852 01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:08,439 Speaker 2: more developed into that system as well. It's going to 1853 01:33:08,479 --> 01:33:10,439 Speaker 2: be on Jodan Love, and I hate to put it 1854 01:33:10,479 --> 01:33:14,599 Speaker 2: on one person, but I see the Packers being second 1855 01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:19,080 Speaker 2: in this division. So I say, over over here, I 1856 01:33:19,120 --> 01:33:20,960 Speaker 2: say they get over seven and a half wins and 1857 01:33:21,880 --> 01:33:24,360 Speaker 2: actually threaten to make the playoffs here. 1858 01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:26,599 Speaker 1: All right, So I already know your favorite to win 1859 01:33:26,640 --> 01:33:30,040 Speaker 1: the division is the Lions. On the other side, that 1860 01:33:30,080 --> 01:33:33,720 Speaker 1: brings us to a team that well made history last 1861 01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,839 Speaker 1: year in the NFL, something that had never happened before 1862 01:33:36,880 --> 01:33:41,439 Speaker 1: and I dare say will never happen again. We're going 1863 01:33:41,479 --> 01:33:44,000 Speaker 1: to break down the Vikings and much more of the NFC. 1864 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:48,639 Speaker 1: We continue on. This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harvin, 1865 01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:52,680 Speaker 1: Carrie Rhoades, Fox Sports Sunday. We are live from the 1866 01:33:52,840 --> 01:33:57,400 Speaker 1: ti iraq dot Com studios, anxious to get the NFL 1867 01:33:57,520 --> 01:34:00,760 Speaker 1: season underway. We could be breaking down the rest of 1868 01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:05,800 Speaker 1: this Rutgers Northwestern games, or as an alternative, we have 1869 01:34:05,920 --> 01:34:09,240 Speaker 1: chosen to actually break down NFL teams as we get 1870 01:34:09,280 --> 01:34:10,960 Speaker 1: ready for Week one, and a lot of people out 1871 01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:15,240 Speaker 1: there obviously engage in some kind of future betting, including 1872 01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:18,840 Speaker 1: over unders on wins that we're lending our opinions today 1873 01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:24,639 Speaker 1: on teams that are again overrated, underrated, and it never fails. 1874 01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:31,240 Speaker 1: There's always half a dozen teams that far exceed expectations. 1875 01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,960 Speaker 1: I mean just last year alone, we talked about this. 1876 01:34:34,160 --> 01:34:38,240 Speaker 1: If you had said before last season began that the Steelers, 1877 01:34:40,760 --> 01:34:53,360 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, the Lions, and the Seahawks would all have 1878 01:34:53,439 --> 01:35:00,360 Speaker 1: a winning record. Come on, come on, there was no 1879 01:35:00,840 --> 01:35:04,439 Speaker 1: way that was going to happen for any of those teams. 1880 01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:07,400 Speaker 2: Out of those four, which one was the biggest surprise 1881 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:09,320 Speaker 2: to you because the Seahawks mine too. 1882 01:35:10,600 --> 01:35:13,880 Speaker 1: I mean the Seahawks because again they were trying to 1883 01:35:13,920 --> 01:35:15,840 Speaker 1: sell when they traded Russell Wilson away. 1884 01:35:15,880 --> 01:35:18,200 Speaker 2: The Drew Lock had a future which I knew didn't 1885 01:35:18,240 --> 01:35:18,799 Speaker 2: have a future. 1886 01:35:18,880 --> 01:35:21,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, most people didn't even know that Gino Smith was 1887 01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:22,120 Speaker 1: still in the league. 1888 01:35:23,439 --> 01:35:26,280 Speaker 2: I was one of those guys. I had no idea 1889 01:35:26,360 --> 01:35:26,600 Speaker 2: he was. 1890 01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:30,559 Speaker 1: And the guy has that kind of a season, There 1891 01:35:30,600 --> 01:35:33,200 Speaker 1: was no way. I mean, all these were miraculous. So 1892 01:35:33,200 --> 01:35:35,439 Speaker 1: they're out there. You just got to figure out which 1893 01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,639 Speaker 1: teams are going to be this year's Steelers, Jags, Lions, 1894 01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:41,439 Speaker 1: or Seahawks. Okay, so we have one more team as 1895 01:35:41,479 --> 01:35:43,599 Speaker 1: we wrap up the NFC North and that is the 1896 01:35:43,680 --> 01:35:44,639 Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings. 1897 01:35:44,680 --> 01:35:46,240 Speaker 2: So the Vikings last year. 1898 01:35:47,920 --> 01:35:50,760 Speaker 1: Did something that had never happened before and it will 1899 01:35:50,800 --> 01:35:54,400 Speaker 1: never happen again. They were thirteen and four last year. 1900 01:35:55,160 --> 01:35:57,840 Speaker 1: They actually ended up the season giving up three more 1901 01:35:57,880 --> 01:36:02,040 Speaker 1: points than they scored despite being nine games over five hundred. 1902 01:36:02,960 --> 01:36:05,719 Speaker 1: So they were eleven and oh in one score games, 1903 01:36:07,400 --> 01:36:10,479 Speaker 1: meaning of course they were two and four in games 1904 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:15,479 Speaker 1: decided by more than one score, eleven and oh in 1905 01:36:15,520 --> 01:36:17,840 Speaker 1: one score games. And I guess the irony was they 1906 01:36:17,840 --> 01:36:19,840 Speaker 1: had a one score game in their playoff game against 1907 01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,600 Speaker 1: the Giants and they lost. No team is ever going 1908 01:36:22,680 --> 01:36:26,519 Speaker 1: to do that again. But here's here's the thing about 1909 01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:31,479 Speaker 1: that eleven and oh record. So you could dismiss it 1910 01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:36,920 Speaker 1: as a fluke, or you could recognize the fact that 1911 01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:40,320 Speaker 1: they were eleven and oh because their quarterback Kirk Cousins, 1912 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:45,800 Speaker 1: found a way to win games that were close. Right, 1913 01:36:46,560 --> 01:36:51,479 Speaker 1: everyone all season long, everyone was dismissive of the Vikings, 1914 01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:53,400 Speaker 1: and when they end up losing the Giants in the playoffs, 1915 01:36:53,439 --> 01:36:53,879 Speaker 1: I said. 1916 01:36:53,760 --> 01:36:55,080 Speaker 2: Say, see, there you go. 1917 01:36:55,320 --> 01:37:02,559 Speaker 1: They were nowhere near that team. But let's give him 1918 01:37:02,600 --> 01:37:05,760 Speaker 1: some credit here, right, I deserve credit for sure. I mean, 1919 01:37:06,080 --> 01:37:08,320 Speaker 1: I mean some of them were miracles, like the Bills 1920 01:37:08,320 --> 01:37:13,320 Speaker 1: game or the all time record comeback against the Colts. Yes, 1921 01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,320 Speaker 1: all time record comeback thirty three points down. 1922 01:37:17,200 --> 01:37:18,320 Speaker 2: So I mean, I don't know. 1923 01:37:18,439 --> 01:37:23,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Kevin o'connup comes in as a first year 1924 01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:28,080 Speaker 1: coach and at the very least you can say he 1925 01:37:28,160 --> 01:37:29,639 Speaker 1: got more out of that team. 1926 01:37:29,439 --> 01:37:31,400 Speaker 2: Than they should have gotten. Yeah, for sure. 1927 01:37:32,080 --> 01:37:37,000 Speaker 1: The problem is Dalvin Cook's gone, and when you have 1928 01:37:38,200 --> 01:37:41,880 Speaker 1: a middle of the road quarterback, in my opinion, in 1929 01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:46,559 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins, having a running back of that caliber is 1930 01:37:46,600 --> 01:37:51,639 Speaker 1: a huge asset that maybe's necessary. But get this, the 1931 01:37:51,680 --> 01:37:54,599 Speaker 1: over under on this team is eight and a half. 1932 01:37:56,200 --> 01:37:59,120 Speaker 1: So much like we had the Bears go from three 1933 01:37:59,200 --> 01:38:03,559 Speaker 1: to eight and a half or seven and a half, 1934 01:38:03,600 --> 01:38:07,439 Speaker 1: you have the Vikings from a thirteen win team. They're 1935 01:38:07,479 --> 01:38:10,200 Speaker 1: over unders eight and a half, meaning all they have 1936 01:38:10,280 --> 01:38:14,360 Speaker 1: to do is win nine games and they go over. 1937 01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:18,559 Speaker 1: So Vegas not a believer. The question is Kerry Rhodse, Yeah, 1938 01:38:18,600 --> 01:38:21,920 Speaker 1: are you a believer that there is at least some 1939 01:38:22,720 --> 01:38:25,679 Speaker 1: substance to this Vikings team coming off last season? 1940 01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,559 Speaker 2: Okay, Minnesota's hard for me because I've become a little 1941 01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:33,640 Speaker 2: bit of a homer for k K Kirk Cousins. I 1942 01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,760 Speaker 2: think he's won the hearts of many people on the 1943 01:38:36,800 --> 01:38:39,400 Speaker 2: Netflix show of the Quarterback, right, a lot of people 1944 01:38:39,479 --> 01:38:42,280 Speaker 2: have seen how much hard work and dedication he puts 1945 01:38:42,320 --> 01:38:45,120 Speaker 2: into the position. He has a bit more of a 1946 01:38:45,160 --> 01:38:46,400 Speaker 2: personality than we thought. 1947 01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:49,080 Speaker 1: One of my favorite lines was, so he's getting the 1948 01:38:49,080 --> 01:38:51,200 Speaker 1: crap beat out of it. Yeah, and he comes off 1949 01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:54,200 Speaker 1: the sideline. They got the sideline miked up, and I 1950 01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:56,280 Speaker 1: don't know if it was the head coach or one 1951 01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:58,439 Speaker 1: of the assistants says, are you okay? And he goes, no, 1952 01:39:02,000 --> 01:39:04,120 Speaker 1: I love the honesty exactly. 1953 01:39:04,240 --> 01:39:08,080 Speaker 2: No, I'm hurt, exactly. No, this getting hit hurt. So, yes, 1954 01:39:08,200 --> 01:39:11,760 Speaker 2: we get it, Kirk, But I like him. I like 1955 01:39:11,840 --> 01:39:14,000 Speaker 2: Kevin O'Connell. I've known him. He's a team made of 1956 01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:18,479 Speaker 2: mind for a bit, and thirteen games was a miracle 1957 01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,360 Speaker 2: for those guys. They won't duplicate that eight and a 1958 01:39:21,400 --> 01:39:26,519 Speaker 2: half eight and a half, I'll say over, but I 1959 01:39:26,560 --> 01:39:27,559 Speaker 2: mean barely over. 1960 01:39:27,600 --> 01:39:30,200 Speaker 1: I mean, wait a second. Out, you're picking the Lion 1961 01:39:30,320 --> 01:39:34,479 Speaker 1: I am to win. You have the Packers in second yep. 1962 01:39:34,800 --> 01:39:39,120 Speaker 1: So if you pick the Vikings over, you're saying this 1963 01:39:39,200 --> 01:39:41,400 Speaker 1: division is going to have three teams with the winning record. 1964 01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:41,880 Speaker 2: I do. 1965 01:39:42,840 --> 01:39:44,880 Speaker 1: I think so, because there's a lot of people looking 1966 01:39:44,880 --> 01:39:49,479 Speaker 1: in this division right now saying, if not the worst division, 1967 01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:50,240 Speaker 1: they're pretty close. 1968 01:39:50,680 --> 01:39:52,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I would not call it the worst division. And 1969 01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:56,320 Speaker 2: I think again, the NFC and its whole entirety is 1970 01:39:56,320 --> 01:39:58,960 Speaker 2: a little bit down anyway, right, So I don't see 1971 01:39:58,960 --> 01:40:01,360 Speaker 2: the Seahawks duplication. Well we'll go all. We'll go to 1972 01:40:01,400 --> 01:40:06,800 Speaker 2: that divisions later. But yeah, I see Minnesota barely making 1973 01:40:06,840 --> 01:40:09,000 Speaker 2: it at nine here, so I think they'll be an 1974 01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:09,559 Speaker 2: over all. 1975 01:40:09,680 --> 01:40:17,040 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I think there's something there with the Vikings. 1976 01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean, seriously, leg we mentioned at the very beginning, 1977 01:40:21,240 --> 01:40:24,360 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell is like every other coach as you sit 1978 01:40:24,439 --> 01:40:27,519 Speaker 1: down with your team before the season began with that 1979 01:40:27,800 --> 01:40:33,400 Speaker 1: positive this is our year. And most of the Vikings 1980 01:40:33,400 --> 01:40:35,240 Speaker 1: that were there a year ago are in that locker 1981 01:40:35,360 --> 01:40:42,000 Speaker 1: room right now. And so it's not far fetched for 1982 01:40:42,120 --> 01:40:46,519 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell to sit there and say, look, all season long, 1983 01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:50,400 Speaker 1: people doubted us last year, and maybe they get the 1984 01:40:50,479 --> 01:40:53,599 Speaker 1: last lap because we lose a tough game against the Giants, 1985 01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:00,960 Speaker 1: but we know we can win games. Sure, it may 1986 01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:03,920 Speaker 1: have been a weird finish, but we won at Buffalo. 1987 01:41:04,920 --> 01:41:07,960 Speaker 1: They did, now they came home and got boat raced 1988 01:41:07,960 --> 01:41:13,599 Speaker 1: by Well, but we won at Buffalo. Yep, we won 1989 01:41:13,720 --> 01:41:16,519 Speaker 1: against qual It wasn't like we were rolling up wins 1990 01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:20,400 Speaker 1: against all bad teams. We beat some really good teams 1991 01:41:20,400 --> 01:41:21,000 Speaker 1: a year ago. 1992 01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:24,920 Speaker 2: Well, they're gonna regrets to the mean here, You're not 1993 01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:26,000 Speaker 2: gonna go. 1994 01:41:25,960 --> 01:41:29,960 Speaker 1: I can they win nine games from thirteen to nine. 1995 01:41:30,280 --> 01:41:33,360 Speaker 2: Yes, they're gonna it's over. It's over up to eight 1996 01:41:33,360 --> 01:41:35,559 Speaker 2: and a half. But I mean as far as them 1997 01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:37,920 Speaker 2: last year being thirteen and four, it's a regress, right, 1998 01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:41,040 Speaker 2: So going eleven and oh, like you said, that's not 1999 01:41:41,080 --> 01:41:44,559 Speaker 2: gonna happen again. So say they go seven and four there, 2000 01:41:44,840 --> 01:41:47,439 Speaker 2: and then they still have the same two and four 2001 01:41:47,560 --> 01:41:51,400 Speaker 2: record in their in their games with one plus score, 2002 01:41:51,520 --> 01:41:53,519 Speaker 2: that's nine wins. So I can see that happening. 2003 01:41:53,520 --> 01:41:55,120 Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna switch scares on the other side. 2004 01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:58,720 Speaker 1: I want to get to the NFC East and but 2005 01:41:58,880 --> 01:42:01,879 Speaker 1: we're gonna bring it into this conversation on the NFC since. 2006 01:42:01,680 --> 01:42:04,920 Speaker 2: You've already picked the Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC. 2007 01:42:06,320 --> 01:42:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm just I remember reminding the whole world of it.

That's at three point thirty pm Eastern time. 2056 01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:10,200 Speaker 7: Let's talk it a little baseball, because the Cubs ended 2057 01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,320 Speaker 7: up dominating the Reds final score fifteen to seven. They 2058 01:44:13,320 --> 01:44:16,439 Speaker 7: score ten runs across the eighth and ninth inning to 2059 01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:20,280 Speaker 7: solidify that victory. The Phillies are still beating the Brewers. 2060 01:44:20,320 --> 01:44:22,000 Speaker 7: It's four to two top of the ninth inning. The 2061 01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:24,799 Speaker 7: Marlins and the Nationals are tied at four piece. Bottom 2062 01:44:24,800 --> 01:44:27,800 Speaker 7: of the sixth inning. Pete Alonso did hit home run 2063 01:44:27,920 --> 01:44:29,280 Speaker 7: number forty of the season. 2064 01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:31,960 Speaker 6: Mets obviously not going to the postseason. 2065 01:44:32,000 --> 01:44:34,479 Speaker 7: But they're currently beating the Mariners five to three top 2066 01:44:34,520 --> 01:44:36,799 Speaker 7: of the sixth inning, and the Red Sox are blanking 2067 01:44:36,800 --> 01:44:39,640 Speaker 7: the Royals three zero, top of the fifth, Cardinals up 2068 01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:41,599 Speaker 7: on the Pirates five to three, bottom of the fourth, 2069 01:44:41,640 --> 01:44:44,920 Speaker 7: or Rangers are blanking the Twins three zero. They're about 2070 01:44:44,960 --> 01:44:47,800 Speaker 7: to start the fourth inning. Rangers coming into today's game 2071 01:44:47,800 --> 01:44:54,599 Speaker 7: there then ye down Northwestern. Well at least they got 2072 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:54,960 Speaker 7: in there. 2073 01:44:55,080 --> 01:44:55,840 Speaker 6: You know what I'm saying. 2074 01:44:57,280 --> 01:44:59,800 Speaker 7: Nineteen seconds Togo, it's twenty four to six on this. 2075 01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:03,320 Speaker 7: But yeah, the Rangers going into today's game two games 2076 01:45:03,360 --> 01:45:06,479 Speaker 7: out of the top spot in the Al West. That 2077 01:45:06,560 --> 01:45:09,200 Speaker 7: race is very exciting. But right now they are blanking 2078 01:45:09,240 --> 01:45:12,040 Speaker 7: the Twins three zero. Coco Golf at the US Open 2079 01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:15,000 Speaker 7: just started her round of sixteen, so let's see. 2080 01:45:15,000 --> 01:45:16,840 Speaker 6: Well, I'll keep you guys updated on that. She just 2081 01:45:17,080 --> 01:45:17,759 Speaker 6: got going. 2082 01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:20,400 Speaker 7: Big story in the NFL is that Cowboys and right 2083 01:45:20,439 --> 01:45:22,599 Speaker 7: tackle Tear and Steel have agreed on a five year, 2084 01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:26,759 Speaker 7: eighty six point eight million dollar contract extension fifty million. 2085 01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:30,439 Speaker 6: Garon teed he can't say what Chris Jones says because 2086 01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:33,719 Speaker 6: I can't afford it. He officially can say that. 2087 01:45:33,720 --> 01:45:37,120 Speaker 1: That's that now but twenty years from now, he's gonna 2088 01:45:37,160 --> 01:45:38,479 Speaker 1: like say, what the hell was. 2089 01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,600 Speaker 6: I yes, yes, I know, I know. 2090 01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:44,280 Speaker 7: Right now he feels like he's fine, but it's gonna hurt. Hurt. 2091 01:45:44,280 --> 01:45:47,240 Speaker 1: By the way, this game is not over yet, so Northwestern, Yeah, 2092 01:45:47,360 --> 01:45:50,120 Speaker 1: they go for two years, then it would be a 2093 01:45:50,120 --> 01:45:54,560 Speaker 1: two score game on sidekick recovered touchdown, two point conversion 2094 01:45:54,640 --> 01:45:58,080 Speaker 1: on sidekick recovered two point version, and we're going overtime. 2095 01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:00,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, I bet you one thousand dollars that won't happen. 2096 01:46:01,880 --> 01:46:02,720 Speaker 2: All I hear is. 2097 01:46:04,479 --> 01:46:06,880 Speaker 6: One odds millions though. 2098 01:46:07,400 --> 01:46:10,200 Speaker 1: So anyway, they're going to kick the extra point instead 2099 01:46:10,240 --> 01:46:11,759 Speaker 1: of going for the two, instead of going. 2100 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:15,720 Speaker 2: For the win. Darn wow, Darren. 2101 01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:18,880 Speaker 1: I concede right there. All right, Matzi, thank you very 2102 01:46:19,200 --> 01:46:21,439 Speaker 1: very much. All Right, So we're going to bring a 2103 01:46:21,479 --> 01:46:23,960 Speaker 1: bow in right now. Again, this is Fox Sports Sunday, 2104 01:46:23,960 --> 01:46:27,160 Speaker 1: Steve Hartman, carry roads with you. We're breaking down some 2105 01:46:27,240 --> 01:46:30,000 Speaker 1: of these NFL divisions get ready for the start of 2106 01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:33,920 Speaker 1: the season starting Thursday with the Chiefs and Lions. Turn 2107 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:36,599 Speaker 1: to the NFC East right now, that's why we're bringing 2108 01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:40,040 Speaker 1: a bow. Who is our resident Eagles fanatical who's apparently 2109 01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,920 Speaker 1: if he wants to you know, prove be proven correct. 2110 01:46:42,920 --> 01:46:45,599 Speaker 1: This year has the Cowboys on his radar to win 2111 01:46:46,000 --> 01:46:46,720 Speaker 1: the NFC and. 2112 01:46:46,720 --> 01:46:47,479 Speaker 2: The NFC East. 2113 01:46:47,479 --> 01:46:49,519 Speaker 1: But let's let's go from the bottom up, guys, and 2114 01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:52,080 Speaker 1: let's let's talk about the Commanders. By the way, the 2115 01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:54,719 Speaker 1: new ownership of the Commanders will tell all these people 2116 01:46:54,760 --> 01:46:57,200 Speaker 1: signing that petition, no, we're not going to be known 2117 01:46:57,240 --> 01:47:00,360 Speaker 1: as the Redskins. Okay, that that is not happening. And 2118 01:47:00,400 --> 01:47:02,360 Speaker 1: I can understand why, first of all, the league would 2119 01:47:02,360 --> 01:47:06,880 Speaker 1: never approve that. But anyway, they're still the Commanders. Ron 2120 01:47:06,960 --> 01:47:10,760 Speaker 1: Rivera is still the head coach, and this is a 2121 01:47:10,800 --> 01:47:16,200 Speaker 1: team again that is not void of talent. Certainly on 2122 01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:20,240 Speaker 1: the defensive side of the football, the Commanders have some ability. 2123 01:47:20,400 --> 01:47:22,799 Speaker 1: But this team is sitting at six and a half. 2124 01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:27,400 Speaker 1: So a seven and ten season will get you over 2125 01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,880 Speaker 1: on the Commanders, and they've been hovering right at five 2126 01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,519 Speaker 1: hundred for the last several years. Let's start with bo 2127 01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:39,280 Speaker 1: over here. The Commanders in that division with the Giants, Cowboys, 2128 01:47:39,439 --> 01:47:42,439 Speaker 1: and of course your Eagles, all playoff teams a year ago, 2129 01:47:43,240 --> 01:47:45,960 Speaker 1: does this Commander's team have a chance to win at 2130 01:47:46,080 --> 01:47:47,560 Speaker 1: least seven. 2131 01:47:47,280 --> 01:47:47,920 Speaker 2: Games this year? 2132 01:47:48,240 --> 01:47:52,280 Speaker 4: I'm gonna take the under going under Yeah, I don't. 2133 01:47:52,320 --> 01:47:54,960 Speaker 4: I'm not a big fan of Rivera and Sam Howell 2134 01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:56,800 Speaker 4: doesn't really move the needle. 2135 01:47:56,560 --> 01:47:57,160 Speaker 2: For me yet. 2136 01:47:57,400 --> 01:47:59,599 Speaker 4: Yeah. And really what it is is there's so much 2137 01:47:59,640 --> 01:48:02,599 Speaker 4: uncertain around Chase Young still, Like I think I saw 2138 01:48:02,640 --> 01:48:04,240 Speaker 4: that he might not even be ready for week one, 2139 01:48:04,320 --> 01:48:07,599 Speaker 4: So who knows what's going on there. Uh, just they're 2140 01:48:07,600 --> 01:48:10,879 Speaker 4: going to be middling, I think, but definitely under here, here's. 2141 01:48:10,680 --> 01:48:13,120 Speaker 1: The thing you have going on this year. Plus you 2142 01:48:13,120 --> 01:48:16,160 Speaker 1: have to keep in mind, is Caleb Williams. 2143 01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:16,360 Speaker 2: In the draft? 2144 01:48:16,560 --> 01:48:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I think we all agree here Caleb 2145 01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:23,160 Speaker 1: Williams in terms of potential of the NFL is a 2146 01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:27,160 Speaker 1: next level talent. You know we had well, I think 2147 01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:31,000 Speaker 1: Andrew Luck. You know, there's certain quarterbacks coming out of 2148 01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:36,000 Speaker 1: college that you know are next level and game changers. 2149 01:48:36,479 --> 01:48:40,559 Speaker 1: So a team like the Commanders, if things go sideways early, 2150 01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:44,640 Speaker 1: could be entering the sweepstakes to try to get that 2151 01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:47,479 Speaker 1: number one overall pick. So I'm sort of with you. 2152 01:48:47,439 --> 01:48:48,760 Speaker 2: On this one, bo I see. 2153 01:48:49,439 --> 01:48:53,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and plus, this is a transition you're carry 2154 01:48:53,160 --> 01:48:55,840 Speaker 1: for this whole organization. I mean, they're trying to change 2155 01:48:55,880 --> 01:49:00,479 Speaker 1: the mindset not only on the field, but even actually 2156 01:49:00,800 --> 01:49:04,040 Speaker 1: at least season one, more so off the field, the 2157 01:49:04,080 --> 01:49:05,120 Speaker 1: whole dynamic. 2158 01:49:04,800 --> 01:49:05,680 Speaker 2: Of the organization. 2159 01:49:05,880 --> 01:49:08,120 Speaker 1: So with that all going on, and what I got 2160 01:49:08,240 --> 01:49:10,760 Speaker 1: to believe is a Lane Duck coach and Ron Rivera, 2161 01:49:10,560 --> 01:49:11,600 Speaker 1: I just don't see it. 2162 01:49:11,640 --> 01:49:13,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're resetting the culture right now, and I know 2163 01:49:13,640 --> 01:49:16,479 Speaker 2: that where gets thrown out a lot. But obviously they 2164 01:49:16,520 --> 01:49:19,320 Speaker 2: needed a new culture, they need a new you know, 2165 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,479 Speaker 2: new ownership energy there as well, and so yeah, they're 2166 01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:25,200 Speaker 2: going through a transition. I definitely see under here. But 2167 01:49:25,720 --> 01:49:27,600 Speaker 2: you know they have talent too, So it's one of 2168 01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:30,639 Speaker 2: those things, like you said, if it goes south early, 2169 01:49:31,760 --> 01:49:34,120 Speaker 2: it's gonna go south for the rest of the season. 2170 01:49:34,320 --> 01:49:36,519 Speaker 1: Of all the numbers in this over runner and these 2171 01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:39,719 Speaker 1: are consensus, okay out of Vegas right now, the overrunner 2172 01:49:39,760 --> 01:49:41,760 Speaker 1: on wins. This one to me is one of the 2173 01:49:41,800 --> 01:49:44,799 Speaker 1: shocking numbers. So a year ago the New York Giants 2174 01:49:44,880 --> 01:49:48,639 Speaker 1: made the playoffs. They want a playoff game. Daniel Jones 2175 01:49:48,640 --> 01:49:50,719 Speaker 1: showed enough for them to give him a huge, big 2176 01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:53,880 Speaker 1: money extension. I think we're all in this room here 2177 01:49:54,160 --> 01:49:58,000 Speaker 1: recognized that that Brian Dable is an emerging star coach. 2178 01:49:58,360 --> 01:50:01,439 Speaker 1: Brian in the NFLP I mean he was the guy 2179 01:50:01,439 --> 01:50:05,320 Speaker 1: that you know, turned Josh Allen from a mediocre throwing 2180 01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:08,160 Speaker 1: quarterback to an elite throwing quarterback. And we saw the 2181 01:50:08,240 --> 01:50:10,360 Speaker 1: changes he made in Daniel Jones from a year ago. 2182 01:50:11,760 --> 01:50:16,280 Speaker 1: The overrunner for the Giants wins this year seven and 2183 01:50:16,320 --> 01:50:22,320 Speaker 1: a half. Seven and a half, yeah, meaning even if 2184 01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:24,479 Speaker 1: they take a step backwards and go eight to nine, 2185 01:50:24,560 --> 01:50:28,000 Speaker 1: you win. You're betting the over. So I'm trying to 2186 01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:31,479 Speaker 1: figure out why that number is so low. 2187 01:50:31,680 --> 01:50:35,599 Speaker 2: Well, we'll start with you. Start with me. First, love Brian, 2188 01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:39,599 Speaker 2: I've known him for a long time. Great motivator, great, 2189 01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:43,439 Speaker 2: you know, a great dude, great coach. Daniel Jones isn't 2190 01:50:43,439 --> 01:50:47,400 Speaker 2: the great. He's not even a good quarterback yet to me, 2191 01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:49,920 Speaker 2: And so for him to be giving the money that 2192 01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:53,040 Speaker 2: he'd just gotten was a huge shock to me. Forty million, Yeah, 2193 01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:58,599 Speaker 2: it's a lot. And say Kawon Barkley, that situation all 2194 01:50:58,640 --> 01:51:00,880 Speaker 2: around that stuff, it's just too much noise right now. 2195 01:51:01,560 --> 01:51:06,280 Speaker 2: So I actually say under here, wow, wow, Yeah, I 2196 01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:09,639 Speaker 2: think they will regrets and I don't believe in what 2197 01:51:09,760 --> 01:51:12,479 Speaker 2: they have talent wise yet Brian was able to get 2198 01:51:12,479 --> 01:51:14,680 Speaker 2: them in a point of sneaking up on people. But 2199 01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 2: they won't sneak up on people this year. Are you 2200 01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:16,640 Speaker 2: with them? 2201 01:51:16,640 --> 01:51:16,760 Speaker 5: Bo? 2202 01:51:17,560 --> 01:51:19,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna do the over, But like you said, 2203 01:51:19,600 --> 01:51:22,439 Speaker 4: like it's gonna be eight wins. I thought the whole 2204 01:51:22,479 --> 01:51:24,559 Speaker 4: thing in the NFL now was not paying running backs, 2205 01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:26,880 Speaker 4: But the Giants paid two running backs this offseason and 2206 01:51:27,360 --> 01:51:30,519 Speaker 4: take one Barkley and Daniel Jones. So it's just a 2207 01:51:30,560 --> 01:51:32,840 Speaker 4: weird I don't believe in Daniel Jones and the slightest 2208 01:51:33,280 --> 01:51:36,040 Speaker 4: nothing about him makes me think he's an NFL quarterback 2209 01:51:36,080 --> 01:51:39,080 Speaker 4: and they should have just not paid him and probably 2210 01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:40,840 Speaker 4: just eating the year and then had a chance to 2211 01:51:40,920 --> 01:51:42,840 Speaker 4: draft one of the two or three guys in the 2212 01:51:42,920 --> 01:51:45,439 Speaker 4: NFL draft that are going to be really good players. 2213 01:51:46,439 --> 01:51:49,760 Speaker 1: I know preseason games are meaningless, but the Giants got 2214 01:51:49,800 --> 01:51:53,040 Speaker 1: worked in that second half by the Jets. Maybe they 2215 01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:54,920 Speaker 1: were just playing to the cameras, you know, the hard 2216 01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:59,599 Speaker 1: knocks thing, but Giants didn't look good. That being said, 2217 01:51:59,640 --> 01:52:01,599 Speaker 1: Brian Table to me as a hell of a coach. 2218 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,920 Speaker 1: He is he is because you talk a guy who 2219 01:52:05,080 --> 01:52:08,200 Speaker 1: maxed out a team, that's what he did a year ago. 2220 01:52:08,760 --> 01:52:12,360 Speaker 1: Giants aren't great really on either side of the football. 2221 01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:16,400 Speaker 1: They're pretty middle of the road. But that being said, 2222 01:52:16,439 --> 01:52:18,320 Speaker 1: I'll be the tiebreaker with you two guys. 2223 01:52:18,600 --> 01:52:19,519 Speaker 2: I gotta go over. 2224 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:25,760 Speaker 1: I just I can't imagine them losing ten games this year. 2225 01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:29,240 Speaker 4: They I'm looking at their schedule. Last year, they had 2226 01:52:29,439 --> 01:52:32,880 Speaker 4: one win all year that was by more than one score. 2227 01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:36,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, and this is why. Look at they dropped the 2228 01:52:36,080 --> 01:52:38,200 Speaker 1: Vikings from a thirteen win to over under eight and 2229 01:52:38,240 --> 01:52:40,759 Speaker 1: a half exactly. This is why the Giants are sitting 2230 01:52:40,760 --> 01:52:41,479 Speaker 1: at seven and a half. 2231 01:52:41,560 --> 01:52:43,760 Speaker 2: In Steve, with all my wins, I'm giving the NFC North, 2232 01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:45,840 Speaker 2: I gotta take somebodies away, so it'd be one the 2233 01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:47,760 Speaker 2: Giants would be one of those guys, all right. 2234 01:52:47,800 --> 01:52:49,760 Speaker 1: So on the other side, let's let's get to the 2235 01:52:49,800 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: elite teams. Are these the two best teams in the NFC? 2236 01:52:56,160 --> 01:53:00,840 Speaker 1: Talking about the Eagles and the Cowboys, we'll break it down. 2237 01:53:00,880 --> 01:53:04,320 Speaker 1: This is Fox Sports Sunday, Steve Harmin, Kerry Rhoades, Fox 2238 01:53:04,360 --> 01:53:07,960 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday. We are live from the Tirak dot Com studios. 2239 01:53:08,040 --> 01:53:11,439 Speaker 1: John PALMERROSI are Major League Baseball Insider's going to be 2240 01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:14,880 Speaker 1: joining us coming up in the next hour. We're breaking 2241 01:53:14,920 --> 01:53:17,960 Speaker 1: down some of these NFL divisions as we get ready 2242 01:53:17,960 --> 01:53:20,479 Speaker 1: for the start of the season some of your future bets. 2243 01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:23,160 Speaker 1: There may be a voice you trust in this room. 2244 01:53:23,200 --> 01:53:26,400 Speaker 1: We're giving a variety of opinions on these over unders 2245 01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,160 Speaker 1: as far as wins are concerned for the upcoming season. 2246 01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:32,320 Speaker 1: We're talking NFC East our producer bos In on this 2247 01:53:32,400 --> 01:53:35,240 Speaker 1: conversation since he is an Eagles fan. But before we 2248 01:53:35,280 --> 01:53:39,680 Speaker 1: get to the Eagles, let's talk about those Dallas Cowboys. 2249 01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:43,880 Speaker 1: This is a team that won twelve games a year ago. So, 2250 01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,240 Speaker 1: in other words, the Cowboys were good. They were really, 2251 01:53:46,280 --> 01:53:49,519 Speaker 1: really good, and they're over under is nine and a half. 2252 01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,639 Speaker 1: Now again, I'm looking on the surface of this thinking 2253 01:53:52,640 --> 01:53:53,880 Speaker 1: to myself. 2254 01:53:54,400 --> 01:53:55,160 Speaker 2: Hold on a second. 2255 01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:59,479 Speaker 1: They won twelve games last year in a division that 2256 01:53:59,560 --> 01:54:03,960 Speaker 1: had the e They had some big wins, I mean, 2257 01:54:04,040 --> 01:54:07,639 Speaker 1: some really impressive wins, including that annihilation of the Vikings. 2258 01:54:08,439 --> 01:54:12,360 Speaker 1: You're telling me that even if they win two less 2259 01:54:12,400 --> 01:54:14,320 Speaker 1: games than a year ago, if I bet the over, 2260 01:54:14,439 --> 01:54:19,720 Speaker 1: I win. This is again a weird number nine and 2261 01:54:19,720 --> 01:54:23,840 Speaker 1: a half for the Dallas Cowboy I'm going to battle 2262 01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:30,680 Speaker 1: lead off here. I gotta believe that Dallas can win 2263 01:54:30,760 --> 01:54:37,000 Speaker 1: ten games this year. I don't see any scenario here. Again, 2264 01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:39,400 Speaker 1: assuming that we have a healthy quarterback. I mean, this 2265 01:54:39,440 --> 01:54:40,760 Speaker 1: is a big assumption across the board. 2266 01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:41,280 Speaker 2: For any team. 2267 01:54:41,440 --> 01:54:43,200 Speaker 1: You got to have a quarterback that's going to be 2268 01:54:43,240 --> 01:54:45,600 Speaker 1: out there. You know, he might miss a game or two, 2269 01:54:45,640 --> 01:54:47,520 Speaker 1: but he's got to be out there for the majority 2270 01:54:47,560 --> 01:54:50,360 Speaker 1: of the season. But you can't tell me the Cowboys 2271 01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:55,280 Speaker 1: took a step back. So, I guys, nine and a half. 2272 01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:58,760 Speaker 4: That number is so low it just seems unreal. 2273 01:54:59,040 --> 01:55:01,400 Speaker 1: Okay, so I'm going over. 2274 01:55:01,480 --> 01:55:04,480 Speaker 4: But over, they might be a third of away there 2275 01:55:04,520 --> 01:55:08,440 Speaker 4: by week four they go they played both New York teams, 2276 01:55:08,480 --> 01:55:10,480 Speaker 4: then they go to Arizona and then they play New England. 2277 01:55:10,880 --> 01:55:13,520 Speaker 1: All right, that's all right, So Carrie, try to explain 2278 01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:18,080 Speaker 1: to me what again, Vegas they do their homework. Yeah, 2279 01:55:18,160 --> 01:55:21,720 Speaker 1: they don't just throw out numbers randomly. Because you look 2280 01:55:21,760 --> 01:55:24,120 Speaker 1: at this number. People have got to be pounding the 2281 01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:27,320 Speaker 1: over on this team. But that's what they want. They 2282 01:55:27,360 --> 01:55:31,000 Speaker 1: always want teams to So, I mean, do you see 2283 01:55:31,080 --> 01:55:33,640 Speaker 1: nine and eight? You see an eight to nine Dallas 2284 01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:34,760 Speaker 1: Cowboys team this year? 2285 01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:37,800 Speaker 2: Absolutely not, no way. I mean, how are we explaining 2286 01:55:37,800 --> 01:55:40,640 Speaker 2: this number? I don't know. I mean from what it's 2287 01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:43,840 Speaker 2: what seem like on the outside looking in is maybe 2288 01:55:43,840 --> 01:55:48,880 Speaker 2: they're down on deck, right, because if I mean all 2289 01:55:49,000 --> 01:55:53,200 Speaker 2: circumstances being equal, I mean, Duk is a good quarterback 2290 01:55:53,400 --> 01:55:55,360 Speaker 2: and he's had success. I know he had the turnover 2291 01:55:55,400 --> 01:55:57,480 Speaker 2: problems last year where yeah, you know, he threw a 2292 01:55:57,480 --> 01:56:00,640 Speaker 2: lot of interceptions. So maybe they're down on the deck experiment 2293 01:56:00,720 --> 01:56:03,800 Speaker 2: here or something like that. But outside of that, there's 2294 01:56:03,840 --> 01:56:07,040 Speaker 2: no way this team is not going to win nine 2295 01:56:07,200 --> 01:56:11,600 Speaker 2: ten games and be that fringe of a playoff team. 2296 01:56:11,600 --> 01:56:16,040 Speaker 2: They're firmly safe in the playoff type of team and 2297 01:56:16,080 --> 01:56:17,200 Speaker 2: so definitely on the over here. 2298 01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,480 Speaker 1: Well we haven't gotten to the NC West. But I mean, 2299 01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:25,440 Speaker 1: I dare say because the jury's out on brock Party, 2300 01:56:26,240 --> 01:56:29,520 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry, the whole brock Purty thing. Still 2301 01:56:29,600 --> 01:56:32,560 Speaker 1: he has to prove it. And the thing, Brock, if 2302 01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:34,240 Speaker 1: you go back to brock Purty with the forty nine 2303 01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:36,560 Speaker 1: ers last year, there was only really one game once 2304 01:56:36,600 --> 01:56:41,240 Speaker 1: he became the starter that wasn't a blowout, you know, 2305 01:56:41,240 --> 01:56:44,000 Speaker 1: where he actually was in a close game. So you 2306 01:56:44,560 --> 01:56:46,840 Speaker 1: still have to prove to me, brock Purty that you know, 2307 01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,440 Speaker 1: in a shootout game against an quality quarterback. 2308 01:56:50,040 --> 01:56:51,880 Speaker 2: That you can come out on top. Right. 2309 01:56:52,520 --> 01:56:54,400 Speaker 1: But I think we're all staring at that nine and 2310 01:56:54,440 --> 01:56:56,680 Speaker 1: a half, Like, what is what is up with that 2311 01:56:56,840 --> 01:56:59,920 Speaker 1: number in the Dallas Cowboys. So at least in this 2312 01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:02,800 Speaker 1: through them, I think we're all on the We're thinking 2313 01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:04,760 Speaker 1: the same thing that that seems like a number that 2314 01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:06,640 Speaker 1: is way way low there. 2315 01:57:06,920 --> 01:57:09,440 Speaker 4: Their travel isn't even brutal either. They play both New 2316 01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:12,600 Speaker 4: York teams in the first two weeks and then they 2317 01:57:12,600 --> 01:57:15,560 Speaker 4: play they play both LA teams and back to back weeks, 2318 01:57:15,600 --> 01:57:17,880 Speaker 4: so they're not flying all the way around the country 2319 01:57:17,960 --> 01:57:18,720 Speaker 4: or any of that stuff. 2320 01:57:18,760 --> 01:57:22,080 Speaker 1: Like, all right, guys, let's let's wrap this NFC East 2321 01:57:22,160 --> 01:57:26,240 Speaker 1: up with the Eagles. So the Eagles last year phenomenal season, 2322 01:57:26,560 --> 01:57:32,160 Speaker 1: and they reward Jalen Hurts with a huge contract. I've 2323 01:57:32,200 --> 01:57:34,800 Speaker 1: always been a Jalen Hurts guy, going back to everything 2324 01:57:34,840 --> 01:57:39,320 Speaker 1: that he experienced in college that that to me showed character. 2325 01:57:39,520 --> 01:57:39,760 Speaker 2: Yep. 2326 01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:43,640 Speaker 1: You know when you're when you're the sec offensive player 2327 01:57:43,640 --> 01:57:46,280 Speaker 1: of the year as a freshman, you know, and then 2328 01:57:46,400 --> 01:57:50,120 Speaker 1: at the end of your sophomore year, you're yanked in 2329 01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:53,480 Speaker 1: the championship game and watch two a tongue if I 2330 01:57:53,560 --> 01:57:56,280 Speaker 1: loa throw a Devonte Smith to win a national championship 2331 01:57:56,280 --> 01:57:59,560 Speaker 1: and then sit on the bench for a year as 2332 01:57:59,600 --> 01:58:02,240 Speaker 1: a back up and never made any stink about it. 2333 01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:07,200 Speaker 1: I know at all crazy transfers to Oklahoma runner up 2334 01:58:07,240 --> 01:58:10,000 Speaker 1: for the Heisman Trophy, and I kept asking people over 2335 01:58:10,080 --> 01:58:13,960 Speaker 1: and over again, where's the ceiling on this guy? Getting 2336 01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:15,720 Speaker 1: do you have a read on Jalen Hurts? 2337 01:58:15,840 --> 01:58:17,480 Speaker 2: And no one did. Yeah. 2338 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:20,120 Speaker 1: Now I think we're all agree that he hasn't even 2339 01:58:20,360 --> 01:58:23,200 Speaker 1: begun to tap into his potential. So that being said, 2340 01:58:23,480 --> 01:58:27,280 Speaker 1: over runners eleven and a half, Yeah, that's that's a 2341 01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:29,480 Speaker 1: come down from where they were a year ago. But 2342 01:58:29,560 --> 01:58:33,000 Speaker 1: I mean, guys, if the Giants aren't that good, if 2343 01:58:33,000 --> 01:58:36,400 Speaker 1: the Commanders aren't that good, they're downgrading the Dallas Cowboys. 2344 01:58:36,960 --> 01:58:39,720 Speaker 1: The whole division's coming down. Does that make any sense? 2345 01:58:39,880 --> 01:58:41,360 Speaker 1: I mean, where are you staying on this? 2346 01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:44,520 Speaker 2: Eagles? I'll lead off with this and I definitely it's 2347 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:47,680 Speaker 2: eleven and a half, right, Yeah, I think the Cowboys 2348 01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:51,400 Speaker 2: are going to win the division, so I'll say under 2349 01:58:53,120 --> 01:58:55,920 Speaker 2: but eleven wins. I think that's a really good, strong, 2350 01:58:55,960 --> 01:58:58,120 Speaker 2: eleven and six. Yeah, I see that being a really good, 2351 01:58:58,120 --> 01:58:59,680 Speaker 2: strong gift for them. I see a little bit of 2352 01:58:59,680 --> 01:59:03,760 Speaker 2: a hang over here in this situation. I do believe 2353 01:59:03,760 --> 01:59:05,680 Speaker 2: in Jalen Hurts. I think he's a really good quarterback, 2354 01:59:05,760 --> 01:59:08,520 Speaker 2: but I don't think he's premier yet. He still has 2355 01:59:08,560 --> 01:59:11,560 Speaker 2: some stuff to prove there, and I think with teams 2356 01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:15,680 Speaker 2: being able to really game plan against him and what 2357 01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:18,000 Speaker 2: he does well now, because we didn't know he could 2358 01:59:18,000 --> 01:59:20,000 Speaker 2: throw the ball outside last year, so to know that 2359 01:59:20,040 --> 01:59:20,520 Speaker 2: he can. 2360 01:59:20,440 --> 01:59:23,560 Speaker 1: Do that now he's got weapons to throw too, Yes 2361 01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:24,120 Speaker 1: he does. 2362 01:59:24,000 --> 01:59:27,120 Speaker 2: But defenses will change, and will you know, it'll be 2363 01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:30,440 Speaker 2: interesting to see how he reacts in this year. 2364 01:59:30,480 --> 01:59:32,520 Speaker 1: All right, I'm gonna let both finish this one up, 2365 01:59:32,520 --> 01:59:35,280 Speaker 1: but I'm gonna jump in right now. So here, it 2366 01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:38,680 Speaker 1: would be my only concern with Jalen Hurts is injuries 2367 01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:42,480 Speaker 1: because anytime you have a quarterback that runs, and we've 2368 01:59:42,480 --> 01:59:44,560 Speaker 1: seen it the last couple of years of Lamar Jackson, 2369 01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:46,920 Speaker 1: all of a sudden he goes down and that is 2370 01:59:46,960 --> 01:59:50,480 Speaker 1: a completely different Eagles offense. 2371 01:59:51,280 --> 01:59:54,000 Speaker 2: So I'm sort of with Carrie here. 2372 01:59:54,760 --> 01:59:58,360 Speaker 1: Eleven and six obviously a playoff team, and then you 2373 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:00,520 Speaker 1: know everyone has a clean slight when she gets to 2374 02:00:00,520 --> 02:00:04,280 Speaker 1: the playoffs, so I I might take a step backwards 2375 02:00:04,320 --> 02:00:05,040 Speaker 1: and go under. 2376 02:00:05,160 --> 02:00:06,840 Speaker 2: So we'll leave it up to you, mister Eagle. 2377 02:00:07,440 --> 02:00:09,880 Speaker 4: I think that's right there. I think it under is right, 2378 02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:11,880 Speaker 4: but it's gonna be like eleven and six, maybe twelve 2379 02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:15,440 Speaker 4: and five. The defense is the wild card. Like if 2380 02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:18,520 Speaker 4: the defense gets better with the additions of Jalen Carter 2381 02:00:18,560 --> 02:00:22,480 Speaker 4: and Nolan Smith, then that might be might be over there. 2382 02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:22,720 Speaker 6: See. 2383 02:00:22,720 --> 02:00:25,960 Speaker 1: Well, another thing I can't get a Syrianimat is a goofball. 2384 02:00:27,200 --> 02:00:29,320 Speaker 1: I mean it's not that he doesn't know football, because 2385 02:00:29,360 --> 02:00:31,560 Speaker 1: he does, but I remember him from his Charger days. 2386 02:00:31,640 --> 02:00:32,960 Speaker 2: He just seem a little goofy to me. 2387 02:00:33,800 --> 02:00:35,680 Speaker 1: All right, So we're all in agreement there as far 2388 02:00:35,720 --> 02:00:38,800 Speaker 1: as a very interesting division. All right, John Palm MOLROSI 2389 02:00:38,840 --> 02:00:41,480 Speaker 1: will talk some MLB and more NFL. This is Fox 2390 02:00:41,520 --> 02:00:48,640 Speaker 1: Sports Sunday.

Yet, wait when 2393 02:00:57,440 --> 02:01:00,000 Speaker 1: the Chiefs take on the Lions in that first Thursday 2394 02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:02,520 Speaker 1: Day night game. Once again, we were broadcasting live from 2395 02:01:02,520 --> 02:01:04,120 Speaker 1: the ti rag dot com studios. 2396 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:05,120 Speaker 2: Ty rag dot com. 2397 02:01:05,160 --> 02:01:07,880 Speaker 1: You're gonna help get you there and unmatched selection, fast reshipping, 2398 02:01:07,920 --> 02:01:11,440 Speaker 1: free road ass or protection.

On top of her responsibilities with their 2410 02:01:50,240 --> 02:01:53,560 Speaker 1: Saturday show, weekends are going to be busy. Monsey, very 2411 02:01:53,640 --> 02:01:57,000 Speaker 1: very busy, so we'll have it all covered. NFL full 2412 02:01:57,040 --> 02:02:00,880 Speaker 1: Fled season begins next Sunday. Paul Morossi is going to 2413 02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:02,360 Speaker 1: be joining us coming up a little bit later. In 2414 02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:04,360 Speaker 1: this hour, we're going to break down Major League Baseball. 2415 02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:07,240 Speaker 1: We're into the all important month of September, down the 2416 02:02:07,240 --> 02:02:09,120 Speaker 1: stretch of Major League Baseball, so we have a lot 2417 02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:12,720 Speaker 1: of stories to get to there. We've been breaking down 2418 02:02:12,760 --> 02:02:14,640 Speaker 1: some of the divisions. We aren't going to get to 2419 02:02:14,720 --> 02:02:17,160 Speaker 1: all of them, but I want to get to one 2420 02:02:17,200 --> 02:02:21,320 Speaker 1: division that is very interesting at both the top and 2421 02:02:21,400 --> 02:02:26,440 Speaker 1: the bottom, and that is the NFC West. And again 2422 02:02:26,480 --> 02:02:31,000 Speaker 1: when we look at over unders, there is one team 2423 02:02:31,160 --> 02:02:36,240 Speaker 1: according to Vegas, that is two games worse than every 2424 02:02:36,280 --> 02:02:41,280 Speaker 1: other team in this league. So thirty one out of 2425 02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:45,480 Speaker 1: thirty two teams have an over under of wins of 2426 02:02:45,560 --> 02:02:49,280 Speaker 1: at least six and a half. The exception is the 2427 02:02:49,320 --> 02:02:56,839 Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals at four and a half. This is where 2428 02:02:57,000 --> 02:03:01,640 Speaker 1: it gets interesting to me in terms of of intentionally 2429 02:03:01,880 --> 02:03:06,920 Speaker 1: tanking a season, because Carrie, first of all, you were 2430 02:03:06,960 --> 02:03:08,120 Speaker 1: an Arizona Cardinal. 2431 02:03:08,160 --> 02:03:09,640 Speaker 2: Don't remind me right now. 2432 02:03:09,560 --> 02:03:12,880 Speaker 1: But let's say it's the intention of the organization to 2433 02:03:12,960 --> 02:03:19,360 Speaker 1: do everything possible to lose. You still have players taking 2434 02:03:19,400 --> 02:03:23,120 Speaker 1: the field, Yeah, you still have coaches that are getting 2435 02:03:23,160 --> 02:03:30,840 Speaker 1: paid to coach. I can't imagine anybody involved in the 2436 02:03:30,920 --> 02:03:35,640 Speaker 1: National Football League, which has been your lifelong dream. 2437 02:03:35,840 --> 02:03:39,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, if you're a player, if you're a coach, this 2438 02:03:39,280 --> 02:03:41,880 Speaker 2: is the best of the best. 2439 02:03:43,600 --> 02:03:47,560 Speaker 1: Going into a season where an organization is looking at. 2440 02:03:47,320 --> 02:03:51,440 Speaker 2: Like you need to lose, make it. 2441 02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:58,480 Speaker 1: So imagine being in that Arizona locker room right now, Carrie, 2442 02:03:58,560 --> 02:03:59,480 Speaker 1: what the hell's going on? 2443 02:04:00,360 --> 02:04:05,280 Speaker 2: Well, you're not telling Gladiators to lose on purpose, it's 2444 02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:09,120 Speaker 2: not gonna happen. They're gonna play hard now being put 2445 02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:12,840 Speaker 2: in a position to succeed as a different story, and 2446 02:04:12,880 --> 02:04:16,360 Speaker 2: that happens, and that has happened. But guys in the 2447 02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,920 Speaker 2: locker room, they're gonna play hard, and they're like we 2448 02:04:19,040 --> 02:04:24,200 Speaker 2: talked off air about, like guys are playing for their livelihoods, 2449 02:04:24,280 --> 02:04:27,160 Speaker 2: they're playing for their families, and they're also playing for 2450 02:04:27,200 --> 02:04:30,120 Speaker 2: themselves to you know, if the situation doesn't work out 2451 02:04:30,520 --> 02:04:33,520 Speaker 2: in one situation, you go to another one, right, So 2452 02:04:33,960 --> 02:04:36,120 Speaker 2: you still want the tape to look good when you 2453 02:04:36,200 --> 02:04:38,920 Speaker 2: come on and people see you. So they'll play hard. 2454 02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:45,160 Speaker 2: They just won't have enough help to help them get 2455 02:04:45,200 --> 02:04:47,800 Speaker 2: over the hump. So yeah, it's gonna it's definitely an 2456 02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:48,640 Speaker 2: under here for me. 2457 02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:53,160 Speaker 1: So Kyler Murray's first three years in the NFL could 2458 02:04:53,240 --> 02:04:57,080 Speaker 1: not have gone better. Offensive Rookie of the Year, back 2459 02:04:57,120 --> 02:05:00,000 Speaker 1: to back legit probols not an alternately made the Pro Bowl, 2460 02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:04,240 Speaker 1: leads his team to the playoffs this third year. Each 2461 02:05:04,320 --> 02:05:07,880 Speaker 1: year his numbers got better, and then all of a sudden, 2462 02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:10,440 Speaker 1: the story comes out that he wants to play video 2463 02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:11,160 Speaker 1: games all day. 2464 02:05:11,760 --> 02:05:14,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm like, what happened here? How did this 2465 02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,880 Speaker 2: story get out and. 2466 02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:22,800 Speaker 1: Last year obviously went bonkers, you know, de hoped the 2467 02:05:22,840 --> 02:05:26,960 Speaker 1: whole the whole thing goes sideways on what is the 2468 02:05:27,000 --> 02:05:31,160 Speaker 1: future of Kyler Murray. I mean, let's assume for a 2469 02:05:31,200 --> 02:05:33,200 Speaker 1: second here, Arizona does end up with the number one 2470 02:05:33,240 --> 02:05:37,080 Speaker 1: pick in the draft and they take Caleb Williams. Yeah, 2471 02:05:37,120 --> 02:05:40,040 Speaker 1: are you interested as an NFL franchise in Kyler mur 2472 02:05:42,920 --> 02:05:45,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he obviously has proven he can play at 2473 02:05:45,120 --> 02:05:46,480 Speaker 1: a high level in this league. 2474 02:05:46,800 --> 02:05:49,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a great question. 2475 02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean, if you were to rank quarterbacks one through 2476 02:05:53,640 --> 02:05:56,920 Speaker 1: thirty two in this league, I gotta believe Kyler Murray's 2477 02:05:56,920 --> 02:05:57,760 Speaker 1: in the top half. 2478 02:06:00,520 --> 02:06:04,800 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I mean he's proven that, right, right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. 2479 02:06:05,040 --> 02:06:05,240 Speaker 3: Ooh. 2480 02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:08,440 Speaker 2: I mean just that's you talk about the stanch. We 2481 02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:11,040 Speaker 2: talked about that before. The sentence stats around him at 2482 02:06:11,040 --> 02:06:14,800 Speaker 2: the moment, it's kind of hard for me to fathom 2483 02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:20,240 Speaker 2: any team bringing him in. He's diminutive, he's small. He 2484 02:06:20,240 --> 02:06:22,440 Speaker 2: would have to learn a system where he came into 2485 02:06:22,480 --> 02:06:25,960 Speaker 2: Arizona knowing the system already, so he'll be at a disadvantage. 2486 02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:30,000 Speaker 1: Who again, let's get back to what we've been talking about. Yeah, 2487 02:06:30,040 --> 02:06:33,160 Speaker 1: put the system in that lets him succeed. Sure, but 2488 02:06:33,280 --> 02:06:36,480 Speaker 1: he's little and he Carrie did that. He did, he did, 2489 02:06:36,840 --> 02:06:40,680 Speaker 1: but they were pretty much a package already. So I 2490 02:06:40,680 --> 02:06:42,760 Speaker 1: don't think he changed his system for Kyler Murray. That 2491 02:06:42,800 --> 02:06:44,800 Speaker 1: he already knew the system. So there's a difference there. 2492 02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:45,680 Speaker 2: Well, I'm good. 2493 02:06:45,680 --> 02:06:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm not going to bring him into a different system 2494 02:06:47,720 --> 02:06:49,080 Speaker 1: and say, all right, you're not going to run, You're 2495 02:06:49,120 --> 02:06:50,200 Speaker 1: gonna be a pocket quarterback. 2496 02:06:51,120 --> 02:06:53,960 Speaker 2: But what I'm saying in theory, if you were to 2497 02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:55,440 Speaker 2: bring in a Colum Murray, you're gonna have to bring 2498 02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:59,480 Speaker 2: in somebody that know that he knows, a head coach 2499 02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:03,160 Speaker 2: or a coordinator that he knows to kind of accommodate 2500 02:07:03,240 --> 02:07:05,840 Speaker 2: him and ease him into that situation. To go and 2501 02:07:05,880 --> 02:07:07,680 Speaker 2: bring him into a situation where he's going to have 2502 02:07:07,720 --> 02:07:11,000 Speaker 2: to learn a new system, new terminology. It's going to 2503 02:07:11,040 --> 02:07:13,960 Speaker 2: be hard. I don't know. 2504 02:07:15,240 --> 02:07:18,000 Speaker 1: I know what I see, right, I know what I 2505 02:07:18,040 --> 02:07:20,560 Speaker 1: saw at Oklahoma when he won the Heisman Trophy. I 2506 02:07:20,560 --> 02:07:22,120 Speaker 1: know what I saw in his first three years of 2507 02:07:22,200 --> 02:07:25,640 Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals. And let's got some back to Johnny Manziel. 2508 02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:28,160 Speaker 1: Remember when he went to the Cleveland Browns and we 2509 02:07:28,240 --> 02:07:31,920 Speaker 1: just saw it on the recent documentary where they put 2510 02:07:31,960 --> 02:07:36,280 Speaker 1: him in a system where he was basically an ad 2511 02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:38,400 Speaker 1: lib guy for two years at A and M. They 2512 02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:41,120 Speaker 1: just let him do his thing, yep, And he was 2513 02:07:41,160 --> 02:07:46,960 Speaker 1: a guy that thrived off of having fun. Brett Farv 2514 02:07:47,120 --> 02:07:49,200 Speaker 1: was a having fun type quarterback. 2515 02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:51,280 Speaker 2: In the NFL. Yep. And he has the most interceptions 2516 02:07:51,280 --> 02:07:54,200 Speaker 2: in league history. Exactly. Yeah, that's my point. So it 2517 02:07:54,320 --> 02:07:57,040 Speaker 2: was a win some lose some along the way. 2518 02:07:57,560 --> 02:07:59,800 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the interception he threw against the Saints 2519 02:07:59,800 --> 02:08:05,240 Speaker 1: and the NFC championship game when he was with the Vikings. Oh, 2520 02:08:05,280 --> 02:08:07,920 Speaker 1: but I mean that's how you got the best out 2521 02:08:07,960 --> 02:08:11,200 Speaker 1: of Brett fark was to let him just do his thing, 2522 02:08:11,240 --> 02:08:13,120 Speaker 1: and that's who Kyler Murray is. 2523 02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:15,720 Speaker 2: Well, they let him do his thing. But Home gam 2524 02:08:15,800 --> 02:08:19,000 Speaker 2: also had a system. So it's still there are basics 2525 02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:21,320 Speaker 2: to the system that has to operate for the team 2526 02:08:21,440 --> 02:08:24,160 Speaker 2: to be successful. It's not just about the one guy 2527 02:08:24,240 --> 02:08:27,160 Speaker 2: playing street ball and making it happen. It just that's 2528 02:08:27,200 --> 02:08:29,200 Speaker 2: the longevity of that is not going to be a 2529 02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:32,000 Speaker 2: good going back to Manziela. Browns would not let him 2530 02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:35,640 Speaker 2: do that, and then suddenly he lost interest in the 2531 02:08:35,680 --> 02:08:39,560 Speaker 2: game because He didn't have any fun for sure, for sure, 2532 02:08:39,880 --> 02:08:42,760 Speaker 2: but that's at the detriment of one player, not the team, 2533 02:08:44,200 --> 02:08:44,800 Speaker 2: the Rams. 2534 02:08:45,360 --> 02:08:47,400 Speaker 1: Now I'm on the record and I'm going to say 2535 02:08:47,400 --> 02:08:50,839 Speaker 1: it again and again and again. Forget the Arizona Cardinals. 2536 02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:53,800 Speaker 1: The Rams are gonna have the worst record in the 2537 02:08:53,960 --> 02:08:58,480 Speaker 1: NFL this season. Yeah, you keep and I'm not I'm 2538 02:08:58,520 --> 02:09:02,640 Speaker 1: not voided conspiracies, but its just the one thing about 2539 02:09:02,640 --> 02:09:06,560 Speaker 1: the National Football League and why they're the king is 2540 02:09:06,600 --> 02:09:08,960 Speaker 1: that a lot of things have worked out in their favor. 2541 02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:15,680 Speaker 2: So you got Caleb Williams at usc Is. 2542 02:09:15,760 --> 02:09:19,480 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams more valuable to the league as an Arizona 2543 02:09:19,600 --> 02:09:23,960 Speaker 1: Cardinal or as a Los Angeles Ram. 2544 02:09:24,120 --> 02:09:25,720 Speaker 2: I think you know the answer to that one. 2545 02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:28,440 Speaker 1: So the Rams are going to play out the string 2546 02:09:28,480 --> 02:09:31,280 Speaker 1: of Matthew Stafford. He's making sixty million dollars whatever this year, 2547 02:09:31,320 --> 02:09:33,680 Speaker 1: some crazy number, and he'll he'll step down. 2548 02:09:33,840 --> 02:09:35,640 Speaker 2: You know, he's had a long career. 2549 02:09:35,360 --> 02:09:37,640 Speaker 1: And whether he's a Hall of Famer or not, that 2550 02:09:37,640 --> 02:09:41,080 Speaker 1: he'll be up to other people that concern. But I again, 2551 02:09:41,160 --> 02:09:43,720 Speaker 1: I'm talking to people about this Ram team. If you 2552 02:09:43,760 --> 02:09:46,040 Speaker 1: saw their preseason, you know how bad this team is. 2553 02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:48,840 Speaker 1: They lost two games thirty four to seventeen. The last 2554 02:09:48,840 --> 02:09:51,120 Speaker 1: one they lost forty one nothing to the Broncos. 2555 02:09:51,560 --> 02:09:56,120 Speaker 2: Oh Man, forty one nothing last forty one and it's 2556 02:09:56,120 --> 02:09:59,000 Speaker 2: a pre seat, but forty one nothing to the Bronco. 2557 02:09:59,080 --> 02:10:00,000 Speaker 2: That's a bad outing. 2558 02:10:00,360 --> 02:10:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Sean McVay said, yeah, we have some concerns. 2559 02:10:06,040 --> 02:10:09,200 Speaker 1: They are playing to lose and they are that bad. 2560 02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:11,560 Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a team that needs to 2561 02:10:11,600 --> 02:10:19,160 Speaker 1: avoid injury. Half that roster is basically rookies. So if 2562 02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:22,040 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford or Aaron Donald go down and Cooper Cup's 2563 02:10:22,120 --> 02:10:24,960 Speaker 1: not healthy right now, he's had hamstring problems and he 2564 02:10:25,000 --> 02:10:28,800 Speaker 1: can't shake them, yeah, they're going to be right there, 2565 02:10:28,880 --> 02:10:31,240 Speaker 1: toe to toe. I mean, so they're over under is 2566 02:10:31,360 --> 02:10:35,080 Speaker 1: six and a half. This is an under. I mean 2567 02:10:35,560 --> 02:10:37,920 Speaker 1: two weeks ago, I was like over over over exactly 2568 02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:42,680 Speaker 1: two years removed from a Super Bowl healthy Stafford, healthy Donald, 2569 02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:46,840 Speaker 1: Cooper Cup back. Now I can talk to people, yes, both. 2570 02:10:46,880 --> 02:10:49,760 Speaker 4: I actually put Rams over the Seahawks on my out 2571 02:10:49,760 --> 02:10:51,720 Speaker 4: on a limb. I thought they would be better. I'm 2572 02:10:51,720 --> 02:10:53,400 Speaker 4: actually looking at the Rams schedule now and I want 2573 02:10:53,440 --> 02:10:54,120 Speaker 4: to take that back. 2574 02:10:55,440 --> 02:10:59,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I just want to listen to me, folks, 2575 02:10:59,200 --> 02:11:02,440 Speaker 1: do not weigh money on the Rams over. Yeah, don't 2576 02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:04,200 Speaker 1: be full by that number. Six and a half. 2577 02:11:04,360 --> 02:11:08,600 Speaker 2: They are bad. The confidence with which you speak on 2578 02:11:08,680 --> 02:11:11,840 Speaker 2: this topic, yeah, has convinced me too. It's a it's 2579 02:11:11,880 --> 02:11:14,200 Speaker 2: an under and I definitely wouldn't have thought that looking 2580 02:11:14,240 --> 02:11:16,640 Speaker 2: at the projections of it. I mean they have two 2581 02:11:16,920 --> 02:11:20,120 Speaker 2: I mean top end talent, top tier talent they have. Yeah, 2582 02:11:20,240 --> 02:11:23,560 Speaker 2: so you would think, yeah, you can win eight seven 2583 02:11:23,600 --> 02:11:27,520 Speaker 2: games off that easily. But the inside information you're giving 2584 02:11:27,560 --> 02:11:29,000 Speaker 2: us right now, Steve, I think I'm gonna have to 2585 02:11:29,040 --> 02:11:29,760 Speaker 2: go under as well. 2586 02:11:31,080 --> 02:11:33,200 Speaker 1: It's going to be neck and neck with the Cardinals. 2587 02:11:33,320 --> 02:11:35,560 Speaker 4: It's so funny to see like Rappaport tweet out that 2588 02:11:36,120 --> 02:11:39,160 Speaker 4: Cooper cup is going to see a super specialist for 2589 02:11:39,200 --> 02:11:42,320 Speaker 4: his injury but he's still day to day. That doesn't 2590 02:11:42,360 --> 02:11:43,080 Speaker 4: really track with me. 2591 02:11:43,360 --> 02:11:48,880 Speaker 1: It's Yeah, he had arguably one of the top three 2592 02:11:49,000 --> 02:11:51,160 Speaker 1: seasons of any wide receiver in the history of the 2593 02:11:51,200 --> 02:11:53,480 Speaker 1: National football He won the Triple Crown, he was a 2594 02:11:53,520 --> 02:11:54,440 Speaker 1: Super Bowl MVP. 2595 02:11:54,680 --> 02:11:57,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, Offensive Player of the Year. It was that good. Yep, 2596 02:11:57,960 --> 02:11:58,680 Speaker 2: he's not healthy. 2597 02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:02,360 Speaker 1: All right, we'll have the wrap up on that division, 2598 02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:04,840 Speaker 1: but coming up, well, switch scars for a moment, We're 2599 02:12:04,840 --> 02:12:07,560 Speaker 1: gonna check in out Major League Baseball as we head 2600 02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:11,480 Speaker 1: down the stretch.

His forty nine home run, 2609 02:12:34,440 --> 02:12:36,440 Speaker 1: one hundred and forty one run spat it in nineteen 2610 02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:37,680 Speaker 1: fifty four. You can look it up. 2611 02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:38,080 Speaker 2: Wow. 2612 02:12:38,120 --> 02:12:41,680 Speaker 1: He was runner up to Willie Mays in the MVP voting. 2613 02:12:41,720 --> 02:12:43,320 Speaker 1: In fact, if you look, May's got two hundred and 2614 02:12:43,320 --> 02:12:45,720 Speaker 1: eighty three votes and Klezuski had two ten. But I mean, 2615 02:12:45,880 --> 02:12:48,480 Speaker 1: I know I'm a little fanatical about this, but so 2616 02:12:48,680 --> 02:12:51,160 Speaker 1: is this man. He knows as much, if not more, 2617 02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:53,120 Speaker 1: than all of us combined when it comes to the 2618 02:12:53,160 --> 02:12:55,640 Speaker 1: great sport of baseball.

I mean, he had the bare arms. 2621 02:13:04,840 --> 02:13:06,880 Speaker 1: You know he would wear they said the Reds had 2622 02:13:07,040 --> 02:13:09,680 Speaker 1: like a vest thing, and then you'd have an undershirt, 2623 02:13:09,720 --> 02:13:11,040 Speaker 1: and He's like, I don't need no under shore. I'm 2624 02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:11,840 Speaker 1: going to show off those. 2625 02:13:11,680 --> 02:13:14,880 Speaker 10: Big gun I right, that was the first thing I 2626 02:13:14,920 --> 02:13:19,320 Speaker 10: thought about Big Clue. There are a couple famous tops 2627 02:13:19,360 --> 02:13:23,960 Speaker 10: baseball cards from that vintage, but Big Clue wearing zero 2628 02:13:24,160 --> 02:13:29,520 Speaker 10: sleeves under the sleeveless uniform top. So certainly a four 2629 02:13:29,600 --> 02:13:32,040 Speaker 10: time All Star. You're right, one of the very best 2630 02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:33,800 Speaker 10: players in the National League. Goes about a three or 2631 02:13:33,920 --> 02:13:37,560 Speaker 10: four year span mid fifties where he was as good 2632 02:13:37,720 --> 02:13:40,360 Speaker 10: as it got as a power hitter in the National League. 2633 02:13:40,400 --> 02:13:45,240 Speaker 1: Well, speaking of best at their position or in their league. 2634 02:13:45,920 --> 02:13:49,200 Speaker 1: Hezekunya wrapped up the MVP with the last three days 2635 02:13:49,240 --> 02:13:51,280 Speaker 1: against the Los Angeles Dodgers. 2636 02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:55,080 Speaker 10: Quite a statement weekend for him. Huh, just remarkable. I 2637 02:13:55,160 --> 02:13:57,960 Speaker 10: was there on Thursday night, was honored to interview Ronald 2638 02:13:57,960 --> 02:14:03,000 Speaker 10: after he became the first ever thirty sixty player in 2639 02:14:03,040 --> 02:14:06,920 Speaker 10: the history of Major League Baseball. And there is a 2640 02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:09,880 Speaker 10: case for Mooki Bets. I've been talking about Muki a 2641 02:14:09,880 --> 02:14:12,600 Speaker 10: lot over the last month, but I also think there's 2642 02:14:12,600 --> 02:14:18,040 Speaker 10: something for having it and demonstrating it in the course 2643 02:14:18,160 --> 02:14:22,000 Speaker 10: of a series one versus one Mono ay Mono, and 2644 02:14:22,000 --> 02:14:25,720 Speaker 10: I listen, Moki hit two homers in Thursdays two, so 2645 02:14:25,800 --> 02:14:28,200 Speaker 10: it wasn't as though he's been absent from this series. 2646 02:14:28,520 --> 02:14:30,400 Speaker 10: But we do know the Braves have won the first 2647 02:14:30,440 --> 02:14:35,720 Speaker 10: three games of the set and Akunya has been starring throughout, 2648 02:14:36,160 --> 02:14:39,040 Speaker 10: showing his full skill set, the power of the speed, 2649 02:14:39,080 --> 02:14:42,640 Speaker 10: the defense. I happen to believe there are no wrong 2650 02:14:42,720 --> 02:14:47,520 Speaker 10: answers in this nl MVP vote right now between Mooki 2651 02:14:47,560 --> 02:14:51,160 Speaker 10: and Acunya. But I do think Acunya, as the month 2652 02:14:51,200 --> 02:14:55,040 Speaker 10: of September has begun, may be seizing control of the race, 2653 02:14:55,120 --> 02:14:57,680 Speaker 10: just based on historic nature of what he's done and 2654 02:14:57,760 --> 02:15:01,160 Speaker 10: also the head to head I'm a big in let's 2655 02:15:01,240 --> 02:15:04,720 Speaker 10: let some head to head competition determine who ends up 2656 02:15:05,200 --> 02:15:08,040 Speaker 10: being the winner and if the Braves end up having 2657 02:15:08,040 --> 02:15:10,000 Speaker 10: the best record in the National League, which I expect 2658 02:15:10,040 --> 02:15:13,040 Speaker 10: they will, and Acunya is one of the one of the, 2659 02:15:13,240 --> 02:15:16,640 Speaker 10: if not the most decisive reason why I certainly can 2660 02:15:16,800 --> 02:15:19,640 Speaker 10: understand and they really appreciate the argument. Now for Ronald. 2661 02:15:19,480 --> 02:15:23,600 Speaker 2: Acuya Junior, John there's been a there's a trio of 2662 02:15:23,680 --> 02:15:28,440 Speaker 2: teams right now that have been huge disappointments as the Mets, 2663 02:15:28,920 --> 02:15:31,440 Speaker 2: there's the Yankees, and there's a Padres. Out of those 2664 02:15:31,640 --> 02:15:35,800 Speaker 2: three teams, who who's been the biggest disappointment out of 2665 02:15:35,840 --> 02:15:37,040 Speaker 2: those three teams to you. 2666 02:15:37,800 --> 02:15:40,600 Speaker 10: To me, carry it's still the Mets. And I know 2667 02:15:40,640 --> 02:15:43,880 Speaker 10: there are certainly other cases have been made in this area, 2668 02:15:43,960 --> 02:15:47,280 Speaker 10: but when when you go back to the offseason and 2669 02:15:47,760 --> 02:15:50,080 Speaker 10: they had brought in Verlaner, and they were going forward 2670 02:15:50,120 --> 02:15:51,880 Speaker 10: and it was going to be the most expensive team 2671 02:15:51,880 --> 02:15:54,360 Speaker 10: in the history of the sport, and for this to 2672 02:15:54,400 --> 02:15:58,720 Speaker 10: be the result, I think is really surprising and one 2673 02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:02,680 Speaker 10: that I think is still registering as the most disappointing. Now, 2674 02:16:02,760 --> 02:16:05,280 Speaker 10: with all that being said, Carrie, the interesting thing I 2675 02:16:05,280 --> 02:16:09,440 Speaker 10: would say is that is that actually, as you enter 2676 02:16:09,520 --> 02:16:14,200 Speaker 10: twenty twenty four, the Mets are in better position than 2677 02:16:14,240 --> 02:16:16,920 Speaker 10: the Yankees because of the decisions that made it the deadline. 2678 02:16:16,920 --> 02:16:19,320 Speaker 10: They actually they were decisive. It wasn't maybe in the 2679 02:16:19,320 --> 02:16:22,600 Speaker 10: way that everybody expected, but at least they weren't decisive, 2680 02:16:23,040 --> 02:16:26,720 Speaker 10: and the Yankees just seem to be in this middle 2681 02:16:26,720 --> 02:16:29,000 Speaker 10: ground where you're not really sure what they're going to do, 2682 02:16:29,440 --> 02:16:32,640 Speaker 10: and what the rationale is. But as you know, Carrie 2683 02:16:32,680 --> 02:16:35,880 Speaker 10: from having played there during the course of your amazing career, 2684 02:16:36,400 --> 02:16:39,560 Speaker 10: the New York media is very patient. They'll give them 2685 02:16:39,879 --> 02:16:42,600 Speaker 10: a few years to figure things out where there'll be 2686 02:16:42,640 --> 02:16:45,280 Speaker 10: not a critical word written or ordered. And I'm sure 2687 02:16:45,320 --> 02:16:48,120 Speaker 10: that everybody's going to be really patient as both of 2688 02:16:48,160 --> 02:16:49,400 Speaker 10: these teams get things figured out. 2689 02:16:49,440 --> 02:16:51,760 Speaker 1: Kerrie, all right, So we've talked obviously a lot about 2690 02:16:51,760 --> 02:16:54,920 Speaker 1: Otani's situation, but I want to talk about another free agent, 2691 02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:57,480 Speaker 1: and that is Cody Bellinger. I mean, you talk about 2692 02:16:57,480 --> 02:16:58,520 Speaker 1: comeback player of the year. 2693 02:16:58,879 --> 02:16:59,720 Speaker 2: What a season. 2694 02:17:00,040 --> 02:17:02,280 Speaker 1: A couple more hits today, three more runs batted in. 2695 02:17:02,800 --> 02:17:05,840 Speaker 1: He has more than a dozen more RBIs than any 2696 02:17:05,879 --> 02:17:08,760 Speaker 1: other National League player. Since the All Star break, He's 2697 02:17:08,760 --> 02:17:12,680 Speaker 1: sitting three twenty. His ops now is at nine to sixteen. 2698 02:17:12,760 --> 02:17:15,760 Speaker 1: It's been unreal what he's done this year with the 2699 02:17:15,840 --> 02:17:20,200 Speaker 1: Chicago Cubs. What's the market with Bellinger? Does he stay 2700 02:17:20,240 --> 02:17:23,119 Speaker 1: a Cub? Is there chance he returns to the Dodgers? 2701 02:17:23,680 --> 02:17:25,400 Speaker 1: What kind of market is there going to be for 2702 02:17:25,480 --> 02:17:26,279 Speaker 1: Cody Bellinger? 2703 02:17:26,760 --> 02:17:29,039 Speaker 10: Well, he, to me is one of the big guys 2704 02:17:29,040 --> 02:17:31,039 Speaker 10: that we're going to be watching this offseason. And to 2705 02:17:31,080 --> 02:17:35,039 Speaker 10: your point, I think that he's really playing his way 2706 02:17:35,080 --> 02:17:38,760 Speaker 10: into being a top five National League MVP finisher. If 2707 02:17:38,840 --> 02:17:42,120 Speaker 10: you think about it's interesting. You know, it's usually hard 2708 02:17:42,160 --> 02:17:44,560 Speaker 10: for reader's rattle off names that I think will be 2709 02:17:44,640 --> 02:17:47,280 Speaker 10: the top five of an MVP ballot here on September 2710 02:17:47,320 --> 02:17:49,120 Speaker 10: the third, But I think it's going to be in 2711 02:17:49,120 --> 02:17:55,160 Speaker 10: some order Akunya, Mookie Freeman, Olsen, Bellinger top five. Yeah, 2712 02:17:55,480 --> 02:17:57,400 Speaker 10: that's how I look at it right now, and maybe 2713 02:17:57,480 --> 02:18:01,560 Speaker 10: something changes. But the big thing for Bellinger two is 2714 02:18:01,240 --> 02:18:04,760 Speaker 10: that is that he the fact that he's playing these 2715 02:18:04,800 --> 02:18:07,600 Speaker 10: big time games and trying to get the Cubs into 2716 02:18:07,600 --> 02:18:10,280 Speaker 10: the playoffs. A lot of eyeballs around him right now, 2717 02:18:10,360 --> 02:18:12,879 Speaker 10: and he's delivering. I've been very impressed by the way 2718 02:18:12,920 --> 02:18:16,480 Speaker 10: that he's played. I think the health overall Scott boris. 2719 02:18:16,480 --> 02:18:19,720 Speaker 10: There was a back and forth recently about the way 2720 02:18:19,720 --> 02:18:23,320 Speaker 10: in which he was handled medically with the Dodgers. Look, 2721 02:18:23,480 --> 02:18:26,879 Speaker 10: I think that Scott was just trying to advocate for 2722 02:18:26,920 --> 02:18:30,720 Speaker 10: his player and explain why the production wasn't there. And 2723 02:18:30,720 --> 02:18:33,119 Speaker 10: I think now if Scott wants to make the argument 2724 02:18:33,160 --> 02:18:36,080 Speaker 10: that for a period of time Bellinger wasn't fully healthy 2725 02:18:36,080 --> 02:18:38,760 Speaker 10: and now he is, I suppose on some level it 2726 02:18:38,879 --> 02:18:41,320 Speaker 10: makes some sense just based on how productive he is. 2727 02:18:41,520 --> 02:18:43,760 Speaker 10: This is just his age twenty seven season. He just 2728 02:18:43,760 --> 02:18:47,880 Speaker 10: turned twenty eight, and he's been really productive. So I 2729 02:18:47,920 --> 02:18:53,240 Speaker 10: think that we're talking about six years, maybe maybe longer. 2730 02:18:53,640 --> 02:18:55,880 Speaker 10: And I think that with this production, he's pushed himself 2731 02:18:55,920 --> 02:18:59,040 Speaker 10: into the twenty five million dollars range a year range 2732 02:18:59,080 --> 02:19:01,840 Speaker 10: for him. I think he's been that consistent. So if 2733 02:19:01,879 --> 02:19:04,800 Speaker 10: we talk about seven times twenty five, I think that 2734 02:19:04,800 --> 02:19:08,080 Speaker 10: that kind of a contract would not at all surprise me. 2735 02:19:08,120 --> 02:19:10,360 Speaker 10: And we've seen you know, that's kind of the realm 2736 02:19:10,440 --> 02:19:12,920 Speaker 10: of the really high end players. I mean, there is 2737 02:19:12,959 --> 02:19:16,080 Speaker 10: still some risk because he went so many years in 2738 02:19:16,160 --> 02:19:20,080 Speaker 10: between really good seasons, but I think seven years and 2739 02:19:20,160 --> 02:19:21,920 Speaker 10: won seventy five kind of in that range of what 2740 02:19:22,000 --> 02:19:26,440 Speaker 10: Dansby Swanson did. Because of the uncertainty surrounding Otani, I 2741 02:19:26,800 --> 02:19:29,240 Speaker 10: do think that there's going to be a robust market 2742 02:19:29,240 --> 02:19:30,640 Speaker 10: this winter time for Cody Bellinger. 2743 02:19:30,840 --> 02:19:34,360 Speaker 2: Well, those a Martian that played his first game yes 2744 02:19:34,760 --> 02:19:39,080 Speaker 2: in Houston and you know, hit his first pitch hit 2745 02:19:39,080 --> 02:19:42,240 Speaker 2: a moonshot, knocked it out. How good is Jason Dominga 2746 02:19:42,360 --> 02:19:44,519 Speaker 2: is going to be as a prospect with the Yankees. 2747 02:19:44,480 --> 02:19:47,560 Speaker 10: Well fittingly carry in the Space City, as you mentioned, 2748 02:19:47,840 --> 02:19:49,840 Speaker 10: that was where the home run happened. The Martian and 2749 02:19:49,879 --> 02:19:53,080 Speaker 10: the Space City there Houston, Texas. But he's always been 2750 02:19:53,120 --> 02:19:56,280 Speaker 10: regarded as one of the top offensive prospects in the game, 2751 02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:57,800 Speaker 10: and I think it's just a matter for him of 2752 02:19:58,400 --> 02:20:00,200 Speaker 10: rounding out his skill set. They're still going to be 2753 02:20:00,240 --> 02:20:02,279 Speaker 10: some sling and miss and I think that's the important 2754 02:20:02,280 --> 02:20:05,720 Speaker 10: thing to mention with him now. He will certainly still 2755 02:20:05,920 --> 02:20:08,800 Speaker 10: take his walks. He walks seventy seven times in the 2756 02:20:08,840 --> 02:20:11,400 Speaker 10: minor leagues this year, at least at double A Somerset, 2757 02:20:11,920 --> 02:20:14,080 Speaker 10: but he struck out one hundred and thirty, so will 2758 02:20:14,200 --> 02:20:17,160 Speaker 10: he will sling and miss, but he will also walk, 2759 02:20:17,440 --> 02:20:19,760 Speaker 10: and when he connects like he did the other night, 2760 02:20:19,959 --> 02:20:22,440 Speaker 10: it's got a chance to go pretty far. So he's 2761 02:20:22,520 --> 02:20:25,640 Speaker 10: someone I think Carrie, whether it's him, Austin Wells, the 2762 02:20:25,720 --> 02:20:29,520 Speaker 10: Yankees need some good news. They need some positive vibes 2763 02:20:29,600 --> 02:20:32,560 Speaker 10: after what's been a disastrous season, and I think they 2764 02:20:32,600 --> 02:20:34,800 Speaker 10: need their internal group to really deliver. You know that 2765 02:20:34,840 --> 02:20:40,000 Speaker 10: they've had and they've given opportunities to players who like Volpi, 2766 02:20:40,440 --> 02:20:43,680 Speaker 10: Braza Brera, who I think have shown themselves to be 2767 02:20:44,360 --> 02:20:47,400 Speaker 10: valuable major league players, but I don't think we can 2768 02:20:47,440 --> 02:20:50,160 Speaker 10: call them superstars yet, and in fact, I know we can't, 2769 02:20:50,440 --> 02:20:52,760 Speaker 10: and so I think this is where they need some 2770 02:20:52,840 --> 02:20:56,400 Speaker 10: star power and energy on his team that's not coming 2771 02:20:56,400 --> 02:20:59,520 Speaker 10: from Aaron Judge. And I think at least to see 2772 02:20:59,560 --> 02:21:02,120 Speaker 10: him Dave you with a home run on a big 2773 02:21:02,160 --> 02:21:05,120 Speaker 10: stage in Houston against the reigning Role Series champs, I 2774 02:21:05,120 --> 02:21:07,920 Speaker 10: think was a very positive sign for a Yankee team 2775 02:21:08,040 --> 02:21:09,280 Speaker 10: that really needs one. 2776 02:21:09,720 --> 02:21:12,560 Speaker 1: The Baltimore Orioles are following the path of what the 2777 02:21:12,600 --> 02:21:16,080 Speaker 1: Astros did several years ago, where they weren't just bad, 2778 02:21:16,320 --> 02:21:21,200 Speaker 1: I mean like historically bad. I mean this team, excluding 2779 02:21:21,240 --> 02:21:24,520 Speaker 1: the shortened season in twenty twenty, had one hundred and 2780 02:21:24,560 --> 02:21:26,879 Speaker 1: fifteen losses, one hundred and eight losses and one hundred 2781 02:21:26,920 --> 02:21:29,040 Speaker 1: and ten losses, and right now they have the best 2782 02:21:29,040 --> 02:21:32,680 Speaker 1: record in the American League. Are they the team to 2783 02:21:32,840 --> 02:21:36,000 Speaker 1: beat this year in the American League? 2784 02:21:36,600 --> 02:21:38,720 Speaker 10: They are for me, But I love the way you 2785 02:21:38,760 --> 02:21:42,000 Speaker 10: frame that because I don't really know there is a 2786 02:21:42,000 --> 02:21:44,320 Speaker 10: team to beat in the American League. If I had 2787 02:21:44,320 --> 02:21:48,040 Speaker 10: to pick one, I would pick Baltimore Seattle, though they 2788 02:21:48,080 --> 02:21:51,080 Speaker 10: had a huge win yesterday over the Mets. I think 2789 02:21:51,120 --> 02:21:53,600 Speaker 10: that I expect them to find a way to win 2790 02:21:53,640 --> 02:21:55,120 Speaker 10: their division or at least make it in as a 2791 02:21:55,120 --> 02:21:57,360 Speaker 10: wild card. They're going to be a dangerous team to 2792 02:21:57,360 --> 02:22:00,760 Speaker 10: play because of their starting rotation and also the bullpen depth, 2793 02:22:00,879 --> 02:22:02,640 Speaker 10: you know. I think with Baltimore, I'm a little bit 2794 02:22:02,680 --> 02:22:05,640 Speaker 10: nervous about the Felix Bautista injury and the impact that's 2795 02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:08,600 Speaker 10: going to make on them. But I love teams that 2796 02:22:08,640 --> 02:22:13,160 Speaker 10: are homegrown, that played the game together then understand how 2797 02:22:13,160 --> 02:22:15,600 Speaker 10: to get the most out of each other, and that 2798 02:22:15,680 --> 02:22:17,960 Speaker 10: to me, all of those things are true of the 2799 02:22:17,959 --> 02:22:20,760 Speaker 10: Baltimore Orioles and Kyle Bradish continues to be one of 2800 02:22:20,760 --> 02:22:23,840 Speaker 10: the more underrated pitchers in the National League this season. 2801 02:22:23,879 --> 02:22:26,560 Speaker 10: So really encouraged by the way they've played. And I 2802 02:22:26,560 --> 02:22:28,760 Speaker 10: think you're spot on it. In the American League is 2803 02:22:28,879 --> 02:22:32,240 Speaker 10: really anybody's game as much as the National League. We 2804 02:22:32,240 --> 02:22:35,320 Speaker 10: have looked at it as a coronation between the Braves 2805 02:22:35,360 --> 02:22:38,840 Speaker 10: the Dodgers and that that's inevitably going to be the NLCS. 2806 02:22:39,200 --> 02:22:42,120 Speaker 10: I expect that to be the case. I'm not convinced 2807 02:22:42,120 --> 02:22:43,600 Speaker 10: of it, though, because of the way the Brewers have 2808 02:22:43,680 --> 02:22:46,520 Speaker 10: played and maybe the Phillies get hot again. But it 2809 02:22:46,600 --> 02:22:48,680 Speaker 10: really does seem to be in the American League side 2810 02:22:48,680 --> 02:22:52,400 Speaker 10: of if you're someone who likes to predict the least 2811 02:22:52,600 --> 02:22:56,560 Speaker 10: likely champion or really get into these interesting conversation points, 2812 02:22:56,840 --> 02:22:58,920 Speaker 10: I'm a big believer that the American League is where 2813 02:22:58,920 --> 02:23:01,360 Speaker 10: you focus your attention and see if you can find 2814 02:23:01,360 --> 02:23:03,000 Speaker 10: someone that's a bit of a long shot. I agree 2815 02:23:03,080 --> 02:23:05,920 Speaker 10: Baltimore the front runner, but not by much in what 2816 02:23:06,040 --> 02:23:08,199 Speaker 10: I believe is a wide open American League. 2817 02:23:08,240 --> 02:23:11,000 Speaker 1: All Right, finally, I got this question for you, your 2818 02:23:11,000 --> 02:23:16,040 Speaker 1: beloved Michigan Wolverines. Yes, single file formation, raising their hands 2819 02:23:16,360 --> 02:23:19,960 Speaker 1: in honor of their coach, Jim Harbaugh, the school suspending 2820 02:23:20,040 --> 02:23:24,280 Speaker 1: him for three games. Interesting enough, a lot of support. 2821 02:23:24,480 --> 02:23:29,400 Speaker 1: Is this going to inspire the Wolverines two even greater 2822 02:23:29,560 --> 02:23:31,480 Speaker 1: heights in twenty twenty three. 2823 02:23:31,920 --> 02:23:33,760 Speaker 10: I think that it's all going to come down to 2824 02:23:34,080 --> 02:23:37,120 Speaker 10: how well they play against Rich Arnberger's Penn State and 2825 02:23:37,760 --> 02:23:40,920 Speaker 10: the Ohio State Buckeyes on the final day of the season. 2826 02:23:40,920 --> 02:23:44,480 Speaker 10: I mean, that's to me, it makes for a nice story. 2827 02:23:45,120 --> 02:23:48,160 Speaker 10: I think they beat East Carolina by exactly the same 2828 02:23:48,160 --> 02:23:50,959 Speaker 10: margin they would have beaten them had Harbaugh been there, 2829 02:23:51,120 --> 02:23:54,000 Speaker 10: And I suspect that they will win the next two 2830 02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:56,840 Speaker 10: games in non conference play, then start the Big Ten season, 2831 02:23:57,280 --> 02:23:59,959 Speaker 10: And at the risk of sounded like a football coach, 2832 02:24:00,160 --> 02:24:02,680 Speaker 10: I'll run this by carry myself here, at the risk 2833 02:24:02,720 --> 02:24:05,480 Speaker 10: of sound like a football coach. If you need additional 2834 02:24:05,520 --> 02:24:11,720 Speaker 10: motivation from Big Ten or from internal imposing of a penalty, 2835 02:24:11,760 --> 02:24:14,520 Speaker 10: whatever it might be, if you need more motivation to 2836 02:24:14,600 --> 02:24:17,080 Speaker 10: go down to Happy Valley and play Penn State, or 2837 02:24:17,120 --> 02:24:19,280 Speaker 10: if you need more motivation to go play the Buckeyes 2838 02:24:19,320 --> 02:24:22,920 Speaker 10: on the final Saturday November, You're in the wrong sport. Okay. 2839 02:24:23,240 --> 02:24:26,640 Speaker 10: You win because of what's going on in front of 2840 02:24:26,680 --> 02:24:28,800 Speaker 10: you and your teammates and the colors that you wear, 2841 02:24:29,200 --> 02:24:31,800 Speaker 10: not about whatever discipline's going on off the field. Forget 2842 02:24:31,800 --> 02:24:34,080 Speaker 10: about that stuff, in my opinion, and it's all about 2843 02:24:34,080 --> 02:24:35,840 Speaker 10: the quality of the people lining up across the line 2844 02:24:35,879 --> 02:24:36,320 Speaker 10: of scrimmage. 2845 02:24:36,360 --> 02:24:39,040 Speaker 1: Jully of that, here you go, You see where he stands. 2846 02:24:39,160 --> 02:24:43,600 Speaker 2: That sounds like house Mellenberger.

All right, 2957 02:29:15,720 --> 02:29:18,240 Speaker 1: let's wrap up very quickly here. We were talking about 2958 02:29:18,280 --> 02:29:21,520 Speaker 1: the NFC West and we got the two teams that 2959 02:29:21,560 --> 02:29:23,920 Speaker 1: were on top playoff teams a year ago, the Seahawks 2960 02:29:24,120 --> 02:29:26,960 Speaker 1: out of nowhere and of course the forty nine ers. 2961 02:29:27,000 --> 02:29:29,240 Speaker 1: So carry let's talk about the Seahawks for a moment. 2962 02:29:29,600 --> 02:29:32,800 Speaker 1: Obviously an amazing year a year ago. I actually made 2963 02:29:32,800 --> 02:29:35,840 Speaker 1: my preseason prediction last year that the Seahawks would be 2964 02:29:35,840 --> 02:29:38,320 Speaker 1: the worst team in the NFL. I just I didn't 2965 02:29:38,320 --> 02:29:40,360 Speaker 1: see any way around it. I thought, you know, they're 2966 02:29:40,360 --> 02:29:43,480 Speaker 1: playing for Bryce Young or you know CJ. Stroud with 2967 02:29:43,600 --> 02:29:46,240 Speaker 1: the two big names, obviously, and so I thought that's 2968 02:29:46,280 --> 02:29:47,000 Speaker 1: what they were doing. 2969 02:29:47,320 --> 02:29:48,760 Speaker 2: And then Gino Smith shows up. 2970 02:29:49,360 --> 02:29:51,160 Speaker 1: So last year they go nine and eight. The over 2971 02:29:51,240 --> 02:29:53,840 Speaker 1: under this year is eight and a half. So basically 2972 02:29:53,959 --> 02:29:57,320 Speaker 1: the question do you see them repeating what they did 2973 02:29:57,320 --> 02:29:57,879 Speaker 1: a year ago. 2974 02:30:01,280 --> 02:30:08,680 Speaker 2: I love Pete Carroll, great coach. I love the Gino story. 2975 02:30:09,680 --> 02:30:14,560 Speaker 2: I guess somebody has to finish kind of fringy playoff 2976 02:30:14,600 --> 02:30:19,760 Speaker 2: in that division, right, So I'll give them. I'll stay 2977 02:30:19,800 --> 02:30:20,400 Speaker 2: over Well. 2978 02:30:20,520 --> 02:30:24,040 Speaker 1: I agree with you because I think, like I said, 2979 02:30:24,080 --> 02:30:26,600 Speaker 1: I think the Rams and Cardinals will be battling all 2980 02:30:26,640 --> 02:30:29,720 Speaker 1: year long for the worst team in the NFL. They're bad, yeah, 2981 02:30:29,760 --> 02:30:34,200 Speaker 1: And because of that, I think Seattle will go at 2982 02:30:34,280 --> 02:30:35,120 Speaker 1: least nine to eight. 2983 02:30:36,720 --> 02:30:37,720 Speaker 2: The Gino Smith. 2984 02:30:37,480 --> 02:30:40,920 Speaker 1: Story is absolutely mind blowing, which brings us the course 2985 02:30:40,920 --> 02:30:44,840 Speaker 1: of the forty nine ers. So last year, forty nine 2986 02:30:44,959 --> 02:30:48,720 Speaker 1: Ers obviously had to go through a litany of quarterbacks 2987 02:30:48,760 --> 02:30:51,680 Speaker 1: throughout the course of the season. Remember they started the 2988 02:30:51,720 --> 02:30:54,600 Speaker 1: year with Trey Lance and then he got hurt, which 2989 02:30:54,640 --> 02:30:57,120 Speaker 1: got Garoppolo back in the lineup when they were essentially 2990 02:30:57,160 --> 02:30:58,800 Speaker 1: trying to get rid of Jimmy Garoppolo. 2991 02:30:59,240 --> 02:31:02,080 Speaker 2: Garoppolo did thing he won. That's what Jimmy does. 2992 02:31:02,160 --> 02:31:04,760 Speaker 1: But here's the thing about the Brock Party numbers from 2993 02:31:04,800 --> 02:31:07,040 Speaker 1: a year ago. If you look at Brock Party's numbers, 2994 02:31:07,080 --> 02:31:08,279 Speaker 1: they're identical. 2995 02:31:07,840 --> 02:31:09,200 Speaker 2: To what Garoppolo did last year. 2996 02:31:09,720 --> 02:31:15,959 Speaker 1: Across the board, completion percentage, touchdown interception ratio. Brock Party 2997 02:31:16,160 --> 02:31:21,119 Speaker 1: is Jimmy Garoppolo. He is the exact same quarterback in 2998 02:31:21,160 --> 02:31:24,440 Speaker 1: that offense. Now, the good news is that's the kind 2999 02:31:24,480 --> 02:31:28,120 Speaker 1: of quarterback that wins for the forty nine ers in 3000 02:31:28,160 --> 02:31:30,360 Speaker 1: the Kyle Shanahan system. 3001 02:31:30,440 --> 02:31:30,680 Speaker 2: YEP. 3002 02:31:31,560 --> 02:31:34,800 Speaker 1: So we preface every one of these predictions by assuming 3003 02:31:34,879 --> 02:31:40,160 Speaker 1: the quarterback stays healthy. Forty nine Ers over under ten 3004 02:31:40,200 --> 02:31:41,279 Speaker 1: and a half wins. 3005 02:31:42,120 --> 02:31:46,280 Speaker 2: Over one hundred percent over the forty nine Ers are 3006 02:31:46,320 --> 02:31:49,120 Speaker 2: the best team in that division. I know we're going 3007 02:31:49,200 --> 02:31:51,600 Speaker 2: to talk a little bit later about something a prediction 3008 02:31:51,680 --> 02:31:53,959 Speaker 2: of mine. Yes, all of those, but the forty nine 3009 02:31:54,040 --> 02:31:59,160 Speaker 2: Ers definitely over ten. And I believe in that team 3010 02:31:59,160 --> 02:32:00,960 Speaker 2: a whole lot agree with you. I mean this. 3011 02:32:01,920 --> 02:32:05,720 Speaker 1: I say this, if you eliminate the quarterback position, which 3012 02:32:06,160 --> 02:32:08,879 Speaker 1: is a big part of it, but you take the 3013 02:32:08,959 --> 02:32:12,040 Speaker 1: quarterback out of the equation, I believe the forty nine 3014 02:32:12,160 --> 02:32:15,600 Speaker 1: ers have the best roster in the NFL. And when 3015 02:32:15,640 --> 02:32:18,240 Speaker 1: I look at a roster, I'm talking about impact guys, yeah, 3016 02:32:18,520 --> 02:32:19,880 Speaker 1: on offense. 3017 02:32:19,440 --> 02:32:21,240 Speaker 2: And defense all over the place. 3018 02:32:21,760 --> 02:32:23,640 Speaker 1: So when you have a Christian McCaffrey, when you have 3019 02:32:23,640 --> 02:32:26,000 Speaker 1: a debut Samuel when you have a George Kitto, when 3020 02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:28,320 Speaker 1: you have a Nick Bosa, when you have when you 3021 02:32:28,320 --> 02:32:31,160 Speaker 1: have players of this caliber, they can change a game. 3022 02:32:31,560 --> 02:32:34,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, pull Bowl safeties right, all levels. 3023 02:32:35,360 --> 02:32:40,680 Speaker 1: This is a better roster minus the quarterback, the deepest roster. 3024 02:32:40,760 --> 02:32:45,039 Speaker 1: I believe in guys that are impact players. Yeah, in 3025 02:32:45,080 --> 02:32:48,640 Speaker 1: the National Football League, improven, improving in that part. 3026 02:32:49,879 --> 02:32:51,800 Speaker 2: There's no question what those guys can do. 3027 02:32:52,640 --> 02:32:56,240 Speaker 1: I think the one thing that happened with the emergence 3028 02:32:56,280 --> 02:32:59,440 Speaker 1: of Brock Purty last year is that it brought Kyle 3029 02:32:59,520 --> 02:33:05,879 Speaker 1: shanahan ego back to ground zero, because the idea of 3030 02:33:05,959 --> 02:33:09,920 Speaker 1: drafting Trey Lance was if I have a quarterback that 3031 02:33:09,920 --> 02:33:13,760 Speaker 1: has more physical weapons, I can take my superstar offense 3032 02:33:13,800 --> 02:33:16,440 Speaker 1: to the next level. Yeah, there is no next level. 3033 02:33:17,680 --> 02:33:20,720 Speaker 1: The idea of this offense is to put the ball 3034 02:33:20,840 --> 02:33:23,600 Speaker 1: in the hands of the playmakers in the right position. Yes, 3035 02:33:24,120 --> 02:33:26,520 Speaker 1: and Jimmy Garoppolo could do that, and Brock perty can 3036 02:33:26,560 --> 02:33:27,040 Speaker 1: do that, yep. 3037 02:33:27,280 --> 02:33:28,920 Speaker 2: And that's why they will be that all right. On 3038 02:33:28,959 --> 02:33:31,520 Speaker 2: the other side, we've been waiting all day. 3039 02:33:31,800 --> 02:33:37,320 Speaker 1: All of the preseason predictions, they're on record now, they're 3040 02:33:37,360 --> 02:33:40,640 Speaker 1: written down. Who's going to be in the Super Bowl, 3041 02:33:40,640 --> 02:33:42,200 Speaker 1: who's going to win the Super Bowl, who's going to 3042 02:33:42,240 --> 02:33:44,920 Speaker 1: be the MVP, who's going to be the worst team 3043 02:33:44,959 --> 02:33:47,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and what is the story none of 3044 02:33:47,480 --> 02:33:50,520 Speaker 1: us are thinking about going into this NFL season. 3045 02:33:50,720 --> 02:33:53,840 Speaker 2: Carrie Rhodes will have the answers. Yes, I will coming 3046 02:33:53,920 --> 02:33:54,400 Speaker 2: up next. 3047 02:33:55,360 --> 02:33:58,000 Speaker 1: DJ goes out a shotgun on third and goal, keeps 3048 02:33:58,000 --> 02:33:58,800 Speaker 1: it over right. 3049 02:33:58,680 --> 02:34:02,200 Speaker 2: Guard it in down Beavers. But there's a pundally flyg out. 3050 02:34:02,840 --> 02:34:07,400 Speaker 1: Here's the call aside defense number two and the news 3051 02:34:07,480 --> 02:34:09,240 Speaker 1: is all at the saut that's the hit us. 3052 02:34:09,240 --> 02:34:13,920 Speaker 2: A climb is all to play as a touchdown, all right. 3053 02:34:13,959 --> 02:34:16,640 Speaker 1: So that's Mike Parker there from lear Field.

And you were close to convincing me otherwise, Yes, 3117 02:37:05,320 --> 02:37:08,160 Speaker 2: you know, with with the Rams, but I'm gonna say Cardinals, 3118 02:37:08,840 --> 02:37:10,000 Speaker 2: they're not gonna be good at all. 3119 02:37:10,160 --> 02:37:12,959 Speaker 1: All right, So the Arizona Cardinals, you're really going out 3120 02:37:13,000 --> 02:37:13,920 Speaker 1: on a limb on that one. 3121 02:37:14,879 --> 02:37:15,200 Speaker 3: All right? 3122 02:37:15,320 --> 02:37:18,600 Speaker 1: What was your sort of wild card story that's gonna 3123 02:37:18,640 --> 02:37:21,120 Speaker 1: happen this year that no one's really talking about in 3124 02:37:21,160 --> 02:37:21,600 Speaker 1: the NFL? 3125 02:37:21,680 --> 02:37:24,600 Speaker 2: The wild card story is from a team that has 3126 02:37:24,680 --> 02:37:29,880 Speaker 2: a great tradition, great history. You know, a lot of 3127 02:37:30,160 --> 02:37:34,040 Speaker 2: leaping goals on in that's in that stadium, and you know, 3128 02:37:34,160 --> 02:37:36,720 Speaker 2: they just lost the Hall of Fame quarterback and they 3129 02:37:36,760 --> 02:37:39,920 Speaker 2: probably are gonna think most people think they gonna be bad. 3130 02:37:40,160 --> 02:37:43,959 Speaker 2: Yeah I do, yes, but I think they're gonna possibly 3131 02:37:44,040 --> 02:37:47,200 Speaker 2: sneak in the playoffs and wow, have a chance to 3132 02:37:47,280 --> 02:37:49,000 Speaker 2: do some damage. And that's the Green Bay Packers. 3133 02:37:49,120 --> 02:37:51,920 Speaker 1: Somebody's got to step up. Why not the Packers. We'll 3134 02:37:51,920 --> 02:37:53,880 Speaker 1: see if Jordan Love can get it done. Who is 3135 02:37:53,959 --> 02:37:57,480 Speaker 1: your league MVP? My league MVP. 3136 02:37:57,520 --> 02:38:01,279 Speaker 2: Goes to a guy that just left that said franchise 3137 02:38:01,760 --> 02:38:04,840 Speaker 2: and has a new place in the Big Apple. And 3138 02:38:05,040 --> 02:38:07,880 Speaker 2: he's going to get a lot of attention. Wow. And 3139 02:38:08,040 --> 02:38:10,200 Speaker 2: that team's going to have a really good chance to 3140 02:38:10,240 --> 02:38:12,760 Speaker 2: do some good things. And I'm going to say, Aaron 3141 02:38:12,959 --> 02:38:15,200 Speaker 2: Rodgers comes back and is this league's MVP. 3142 02:38:15,840 --> 02:38:20,320 Speaker 1: Wow, Aaron Rodgers IVY like me?
