16
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 3: the goal this late night here in the Fox Sports

17
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Radio overnight hours. So let's get after it. Let's start

18
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: off with some bad news. So Anthony Richardson, Colts quarterback,

19
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 3: he dislocated his right pinky finger in preseason action against

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,680
Speaker 3: the Ravens on Thursday night. So this is the Colts

21
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: second possession. Richardson drops back, he gets sacked and he

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: gets driven into the ground, unblocked linebacker David o'jabo. He

23
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 3: got to him. And this is how it sounded on

24
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 3: the Colts Radio network.

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 4: Here you go, Anthony Richardson goes out of the gunball

26
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 4: me here, Hash backs to throat and he is decked

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 4: from the left and he has sacked and buried. He

28
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 4: took a big time hit, but more importantly, hangs on

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 4: to the football and the ravens with a sack off

30
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 4: the left edge and he's.

31
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 3: Going off the field, Matt. He got hitped unobated.

32
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 4: There was no one blocking the st The protection was

33
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 4: totally not there.

34
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Uh, the protection was not there. He's right about that.

35
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 3: But what also wasn't there was the awareness, the zero

36
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 3: awareness from Anthony Richardson. Didn't feel the heat, didn't even

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 3: know there was heat. You gotta do a better job

38
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: recognizing the pressure. That's not just on your protection, that's

39
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 3: also on the quarterback. And it's the same old song

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: and dance with Anthony Richardson. He was the fourth overall

41
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: pick just two years ago and it's been a disaster.

42
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: And this is the thing. If we zoom out for

43
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 3: a second, you ever have a friend who's just in

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: a bad relationship. We've all had that right where it's

45
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: just your buddy is just arguing with his girl constantly,

46
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 3: and you either think or say, like, man, they're just

47
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: not good together, like they need to be away from

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 3: each other. That's how I feel about Anthony Richardson and

49
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 3: the Colts. Not that they're arguing all the time, but

50
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 3: they're just bad for each other. If you look at

51
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 3: the Colts, how are the Colts bad for Anthony Richardson. Well,

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: they rushed him on the field as a Week one

53
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: starter his rookie season. He was no near ready to

54
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 3: start in the NFL. This guy had fewer than four

55
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 3: hundred passing attempts in college at Florida. Under four hundred attempts.

56
00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 3: That's a guy who needs seasoning. That's a guy who

57
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 3: needs to be brought along slowly, Get a ton of reps,

58
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 3: digest the playbook, folly. He needs the red shirt his

59
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: first year in the NFL. His rookie year should have

60
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,519
Speaker 3: been a red shirt year. He would have been way

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: better off not seeing the field. But the Colts not

62
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: only got him on the field, they rushed him out

63
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: there in Week one. What blows my mind is if

64
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: you compare Anthony Richardson to a couple of quarterbacks. One,

65
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 3: let's start with who I think is the best quarterback

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 3: in the game right now, it's still Patrick Mahomes. If

67
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 3: you look at Mahomes in college, Mahomes through thirteen hundred

68
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: and forty nine passes in college, Anthony Richardson through three

69
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 3: ninety three. Mahomes attempted almost a thousand more passes in

70
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: college than Anthony Richardson does. It's a lot of reps,

71
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: that's a lot of learning on the job, that's a

72
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: lot of seasoning. You just didn't have that with Anthony Richardson.

73
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 3: And then if you'd take the comparison further, what happened

74
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 3: with both of those quarterbacks their rookie year. Mahomes sat

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: almost the entire year. He had one start at the

76
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,159
Speaker 3: very end of the regular season against Coops Broncos. That

77
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 3: was it one start. So Mahomes started one game as

78
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 3: a rookie. Anthony Richardson started Week one as a rookie

79
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,840
Speaker 3: with a portion of the experience that Mahomes had in college.

80
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 3: Made no sense. The Colts had no patience whatsoever. Put

81
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 3: them in a terrible spot. The Colts that you ever

82
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 3: have like you ever have a dog and you put

83
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 3: a treat like at the end of his nose and

84
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 3: the dog sitting there for a few seconds, just kind

85
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: of like looking at it, crosssied like, oh man, I

86
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 3: can only do this for a few secs. You realize that, right,

87
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: And those evil owners are like wait, wait, wait, fight,

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 3: oh not yet, not wait, and the dog's like, oh man,

89
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 3: I can't take it any That's the Colts. The Colts

90
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: are the dog with a treat at the end of

91
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 3: its nose and they're like, hey, I get and we

92
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 3: just got to start Anthony Richardson that and they threw

93
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: him out there and it was a disaster. Now where

94
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is bad for the Colts, you can't put

95
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 3: this just on the Colts. Anthony Richardson has been freaking

96
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,239
Speaker 3: brutal and even though he got thrown out there before

97
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 3: I think he was ready and the Colts did a

98
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 3: disservice to him, He's done a disservice to the Colts

99
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 3: as well. He's been atrocious. And not only are his numbers,

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 3: I mean like a carbon copy of Tim Tebow's quarterback

101
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: numbers in the NFL. By the way, that is someone

102
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 3: you do not want to have carbon copy numbers with

103
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 3: that would be Tim Tebow. You want numbers that are

104
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,679
Speaker 3: way better than that. I'm telling you. It's the Spider

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 3: Man meme where the two guys are pointing at each other.

106
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 3: That's the stat lines in the NFL of Anthony Richardson

107
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 3: and Tim Tebow. They are so similar it's staggering and

108
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: so like. Anthony Richardson has been that bad as a quarterback.

109
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: And not only has it been unproductive, he's been banged

110
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 3: up all the time. He's missed seventeen games in his

111
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 3: first two seasons. Think about that. They play seventeen games

112
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 3: a season. That's thirty four games in two years. He's

113
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 3: missed seventeen of them. He's missed half the games due

114
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 3: to injury. So he's banged up, he's unproductive, and he

115
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: tapped out. He tapped out last season because he was tired.

116
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: What have you heard that in the NFL A quarterback

117
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: was tired and was like, yeah, I need out of

118
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: the game. Everyone's like, what what do you mean you? Uh? Okay,

119
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: he tapped out of the game because he was tired.

120
00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: So he's done a disservice to the Colts as well.

121
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 3: He's been bad, he's been banged up, he's tapped out,

122
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: and the Colts threw him out there way before he

123
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 3: was ready. They are just horrible for each other, and

124
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: unfortunately he got banged up this located right pinky finger.

125
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 3: Obviously he is throwing hand and he's gonna be out

126
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 3: for a little bit of time. He wanted to get

127
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: back out there. He tried to regrip the football in

128
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 3: the sidelines. Wasn't working. They showed it on the on

129
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: the replay. It's like, you know, his hand is facing

130
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 3: north and his pinky is going a sharp east. You

131
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,800
Speaker 3: know that's never a good sign, not good at all.

132
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 3: But it's another, you know, huge speed bump, another huge

133
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: hurdle in the on the path of Anthony Richardson being

134
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 3: a serviceable NFL quarterback. Like even before what happened on

135
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: Thursday with the injury, he there were reports out of

136
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 3: Colts camp. You know, James Boyd covers the Colts for

137
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 3: the Athletic and he's like, hey, this guy, Daniel Jones,

138
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 3: he's got a good shot to start Week one. He's

139
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 3: been the more consistent core back thus far. Again, you

140
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 3: don't want to be neck and neck with Daniel Jones,

141
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 3: who's been a complete disappointment in his NFL career, who

142
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: has much more experience than Anthony Richardson. But you want

143
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 3: to be further along than that guy. You want to

144
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 3: flash more in training camp. The Colts put it this way.

145
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 3: They want their number four overall pick to flash more

146
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 3: than Daniel Jones, who's been a total disappointment and who

147
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 3: they signed on the cheap in a one year deal.

148
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 3: They want Anthony Richardson to be the guy. They've done

149
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 3: everything they can for him to be the guy, and

150
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,120
Speaker 3: it's just not working out. Man, it's not happening. The

151
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 3: stats I mentioned between Anthony Richardson and Tebow, I'm not

152
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,680
Speaker 3: going to bombard you with stats galore, but it's crazy.

153
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 3: So Anthony Richardson his record eight and seven in the NFL.

154
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 3: Tebow is eight and six in the NFL. Anthony Richardson,

155
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson has completed three more passes. Tebow had thirteen

156
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 3: more attempts. That's about as close as you can get

157
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 3: completion percentage very similar. Tebow threw for thirty one more

158
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 3: yards think over the course of like fifteen versus fourteen

159
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 3: starts plus thirty one for Tebow. Tebou had six more

160
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 3: touchdown passes four fewer interceptions. So advantage Tebow there, Tim Tebow.

161
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 3: Remember Tebo as a quarterback? Yeah, that guy plus seven

162
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: point five in passer rating. Tebo's passer rating career wise

163
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 3: in the NFL seven point five points better than Richardson,

164
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: and Tebow ran the ball more. He rushed for over

165
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty more yards than Anthony Richardson and

166
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 3: about the same number of starts. So it's like Tim

167
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 3: Tebow has outplayed Anthony Richardson in the NFL. That's astoundingly bad.

168
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 3: I wish I had better news for you Colts fans,

169
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 3: but that's where you are. Man Like, one preseason game

170
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,079
Speaker 3: in and this is the reality is Richardson is hurt again,

171
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 3: and now we're looking at Danny Dimes as the more

172
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 3: probable Week one starter. How are you supposed to be

173
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: fired up for that? Now, one other thing I will

174
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: mention here, and this doesn't just apply to the Colts,

175
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,599
Speaker 3: but this applies to a lot of NFL teams in

176
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 3: the preseason. Something else that the Colts did. They were

177
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 3: playing with fire in this game. So they put Anthony

178
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 3: Richardson out there. They gave him the start. They didn't

179
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 3: start the offensive line Anthony Richardson. Before this injury, he

180
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 3: at least had a shot to be the Week one starter.

181
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 3: And the Colts are like, yeah, let's rest the veteran

182
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 3: offensive lineman. You didn't have the left tackle in there,

183
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 3: Bernard Reyman. You didn't have the right tackle in there,

184
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 3: Braden Smith, you didn't have the left guarden there. Quinton Nelson.

185
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 3: You're playing with fire. If you're gonna put a quarterback

186
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: behind center who might be your Week one starter, and

187
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 3: you don't have starting offensive linemen out there, that is

188
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 3: absolutely playing with fire. And hey man, it cost the Colts.

189
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:13,600
Speaker 3: And I wouldn't just say the injury occurred because you

190
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:17,440
Speaker 3: had the backup right tackle in there. If anything, the

191
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,040
Speaker 3: running back was supposed to pick the guy up. You like,

192
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 3: the tight end just ran a pattern and you had

193
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 3: the Ravens linebacker just scraped on that side of the

194
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 3: ball and no one blocked him at all. So it

195
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 3: is a complete mix up by the protection. But also

196
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, you gotta be more aware. You got to

197
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 3: recognize what's going on. I understand there are gonna be

198
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 3: some breakdowns and protection and those sorts of things will happen,

199
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 3: but Anthony Richardson hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt.

200
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 3: You know, if Mahomes just doesn't see a blitz coming,

201
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, that doesn't happen all the time. But

202
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 3: when you've seen a steady diet of Anthony Richardson holding

203
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: onto the ball too long, you know, misques galore not

204
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 3: recognizing the pressure or the blitz. He hasn't earned the

205
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt. Gotta be way more aware than

206
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 3: he is. But it's just a matter of time. The

207
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,840
Speaker 3: Colts are gonna move on from him. It's a complete waste.

208
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 3: They spent a top ten pick, top five pick on

209
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 3: Richardson and they were morons. Yeah, I can't put this

210
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 3: only on Anthony Richardson to trot him out there in

211
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,719
Speaker 3: Week one. It's just like, you guys got to have

212
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: a better long term approach than that. I just think

213
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 3: they set them up for failure. Now, there are some

214
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 3: quarterbacks that honestly are set up for failure. They're thrown

215
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 3: out there before they're ready. And some quarterbacks are good

216
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: enough to overcome that. And Anthony Richardson just isn't. He

217
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 3: hasn't had enough experience, didn't get enough reps in college,

218
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 3: so he couldn't be thrown out there before he was ready.

219
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 3: The Colts did it, and now they're in this spot.

220
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 5: Man.

221
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 3: They don't have a quarterback for the now or the future.

222
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 3: That's where they're at now. Coming up next, it's not

223
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,439
Speaker 3: all bad news. Some good news from Thursday at least.

224
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 3: I think this is good news, a new approach that

225
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: makes all the sense in the world. I'll get to

226
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,800

00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 3: I always gotta can I keep the hard rock, keep

252
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 3: the metal going. Absolutely gotta do that. By the way,

253
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 3: I did a terrible job of, you know, giving you

254
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 3: a little sneak peekause some of the things on the

255
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 3: show tonight. So a couple of the things I've got

256
00:14:49,160 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 3: my uh my eye on. I want to do this

257
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 3: at a couple of points during the show. Every single year,

258
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 3: I think about what will be the biggest curveball of

259
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 3: the NFL season, right, Like, what's gonna be the biggest

260
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 3: curveball the teams that we think are gonna be good,

261
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,560
Speaker 3: maybe one of them is bad, and vice versa, a

262
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 3: team that we think, oh, they're gonna suck, and they

263
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 3: were like, wow, what the last year, the biggest curveball

264
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 3: was the Washington Commanders. They were coming off a four

265
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: win season. They drafted Jaydon Daniels and then boom, they

266
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: win twelve games and they go to the NFC Championship Game.

267
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 3: Nobody predicted that, Like the Jim Harbor nobody, no one

268
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: had that one. And every single year I just I'll

269
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 3: stare at the standings from last year and I'm like,

270
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 3: what's the biggest curveball this season? So we'll get to

271
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 3: that a little bit later tonight. Also, I think there's

272
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 3: a bet that my guy Coop should be making, but

273
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 3: understandably will not be making. We'll get to that. Also,

274
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 3: is a great anti Coleslaw tweet I have to share

275
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 3: with you. I thought it was fantastic, top shelf, you know,

276
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 3: talking trash about Coleslaw. I'm on board. So you have

277
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 3: that to look forward to. Why would you leave? Why

278
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 3: would you leave? At this point? By the way, it

279
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 3: is time right now for the tire rack Play of

Speaker 3: to dive into the Bengals in a second. But another

293
00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 3: thing that I did a horrible job of the militia.

294
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 3: How theare I'm trying to They call it like clock integrity,

295
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,879
Speaker 3: like you gotta take, you know, breaks at certain times.

296
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 3: I'm trying to be all about clock integrity. I didn't

297
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 3: throw out the number, I didn't throw out my Twitter

298
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 3: handled nothing, So I don't take that as a slight militia.

309
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: On thursday. Night AND i spent a little bit of

310
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 3: time on this last, Night SO i won't repeat, everything

311
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 3: But i'll give you the Cliffs notes. VERSION i think

312
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 3: this makes all the sense in the world for The.

313
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 3: BENGALS i think it makes a lot of sense for

314
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 3: a lot of teams to get their starters some, reps

315
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 3: some teams that have young, players you, know maybe a

316
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 3: prominent player LIKE jj McCarthy with The, VIKINGS i think

317
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:16,479
Speaker 3: it makes sense to get him out, there get him some.

318
00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 3: Reps in a game like. Situation didn't play one snap

319
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: in the regular season last. YEAR i think it makes

320
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: sense to get him out. There if you look At Joe,

321
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 3: burrow even though he had an amazing. Season another slow

322
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:34,640
Speaker 3: start For Joe burrow and The. Bengals week one last,

323
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 3: year they're big favorites at home against The. Patriots remember

324
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought The patriots would be the

325
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,440
Speaker 3: worst team last. Season they only won four. Games, well

326
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: one of them was In week one on the road

327
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,719
Speaker 3: against The. Bengals they've started so, slowly so, consistently and

328
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: so it makes sense to Get Joe burrow out, there

329
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,120
Speaker 3: get your starters out, there try to establish a. Rhythm

330
00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 3: if you look at The bengals, schedule it's favorable to

331
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 3: start the. Season they're at The browns and then they Host.

332
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 3: Jacksonville but then three of their next four games are

333
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 3: on the. Road they're at The, vikings At Coops, broncos

334
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 3: they host The, lions and then they're at The. Packers

335
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,119
Speaker 3: three of those four games are on the, road and

336
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 3: all four of those games are challenging. Games so you

337
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 3: can't afford to start off. Slowly you can't start off

338
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,840
Speaker 3: zero to two or one in. One you gotta sweep

339
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: those two. Games if you're at The browns and at

340
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: home against The, jags you should win those. Games if

341
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 3: you're The, bengals and if you think about last season,

342
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: again they lost to The. Patriots this has been a

343
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 3: growing trend with The bengals for a long time. Now Joe,

344
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: burrow as special as he is as AN nfl, quarterback

345
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 3: his record over weeks one in. Two in HIS nfl,

346
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 3: career it's one in. Nine his record is one in.

347
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 3: Nine and they faced some bum teams as, well like

348
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 3: last Year's patriots In week, one and they'll lose games at.

349
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 3: Home they'll lose to teams they shouldn't lose. Too they've

350
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 3: been notorious slow. Starters so instead of Using september as

351
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 3: the new, preseason how about use the preseason as the.

352
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 3: Preseason that's what The bengals are. Doing they've made an.

353
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 3: ADJUSTMENT i love. IT i think it makes a lot

354
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 3: of sense for. Them And burrow looked. Great he was

355
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,160
Speaker 3: nine for, ten one hundred and twenty three, yards two,

356
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 3: touchdowns no, picks nearly perfect passer. Rating it was one

357
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 3: fifty seven point. Five it's pretty, good pretty, good about

358
00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,400
Speaker 3: as good as you can. Do AND i think that

359
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 3: puts The bengals in a better position to start, faster because,

360
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 3: again you can't afford to start. Slowly imagine if They

361
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:57,040
Speaker 3: PROBABLY i can't imagine them losing At. Cleveland that's hard to.

362
00:20:57,080 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: Foresee it is a divisional. Game that's hard to see

363
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 3: a loss right. There but, again crazier things have happened

364
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: with The. Bengals but let's say they start off slowly,

365
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 3: again they're not playing their guys in. Preseason another slow.

366
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,440
Speaker 3: Start they lose a game at home To. Jacksonville they're

367
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 3: one and, one and then they're at The, vikings at The,

368
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 3: bengals at The Broncos, lions and then at The. Packers it's, Like,

369
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,400
Speaker 3: holy all of a, sudden you're looking at sub five

370
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 3: hundred real. Quickly you want to avoid.

371
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:27,239
Speaker 5: That.

372
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:30,480
Speaker 3: ABSOLUTELY i think it makes. Sense get your Mar chase out,

373
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 3: there Get Yo burrow out, there get the ones out,

374
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: there let's get into a. Rhythm it's go time, here right.

375
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 3: Like So i'm all for. IT i think it makes

376
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: a lot of sense what The bengals are doing. Here

377
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 3: some other teams they're trotting out well known. Guys arizona

378
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 3: is throwing out A Kyler. Murray he's gonna get some preseason.

379
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,719
Speaker 3: Reps Cam, ward the number one overall, pick makes all

380
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 3: the sense in the world for him to get out.

381
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 3: There think about this With. Burrow i'll throw one more

382
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,520
Speaker 3: number out at you and then we'll get to the. Calls.

383
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 3: Here Before thursday night's preseason, game where The bengals were

384
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 3: playing The, Eagles Joe burrow had only thrown eight preseason

385
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 3: passes in his five year. Career he threw ten On Thursday.

386
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 3: Night he threw more preseason passes On Thursday night than

387
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 3: his previous five years in THE. Nfl he only had

388
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 3: fifteen snaps total in his preseason career Before Thursday. Night

389
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 3: SO i think it makes, sense BUT i have to dig.

390
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 3: Up i'm kind of Curious Joe burrow's, numbers and they

391
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 3: couldn't been. Good it was a low scoring game against

392
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 3: The patriots last. YEAR i, SAID i was only going

393
00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: to give you one. Number So i'm looking up numbers

394
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: on the. Fly i'm a compulsive liar over. Here i'm

395
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 3: just addicted to. Numbers i'm, like, oh more numbers. Here, yeah,

396
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: okay Here's Joe. Burrow not, terrible but twenty one for twenty.

397
00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 3: Nine good completion percentage about seventy two percent in sixty four,

398
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 3: yards no, touchdowns no. Picks that was his stat Line week,

399
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: one last year against The, patriots again A patriots team

400
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 3: many thought would be the worst in the. League they

401
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: only won four games and that was let me see real,

402
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,600
Speaker 3: fast that was the lowest amount of yards That burrow

403
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,840
Speaker 3: threw four in any game last. Season there's only one

404
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 3: other game where he was under two hundred yards. Passing

405
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,280
Speaker 3: SO i don't think it's a coincidence that him playing

406
00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 3: the preseason at. All and, wow what do you, know

407
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 3: slow start yet, Again let's change, that you, know let's change,

408
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 3: it move in a different. Direction The, bengals by the,

409
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: way they started off one in. Four they lost for

410
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 3: their first five, games SO i like this change in their.

411
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 3: Approach like. It i'm a. Fan all, right let's go

412
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 3: out to the. Militia let's get out some calls. Here

413
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 3: mike is In, texas has some preseason. Thoughts what's going, On,

414
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: Mike you're On Fox Sports.

415
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 8: Radio how are you?

416
00:23:58,960 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 3: Good?

417
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 5: BUDE i think the, preseason.

418
00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 8: Like non starters starting in pre season is cool to

419
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 8: thegaesst fantasy players a chance to look, at you, know

420
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 8: other players that you know they've been pat mahowns might

421
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 8: be falling, off so it gives them a chance to

422
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 8: look at them to the quarterbacks to Get but as

423
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 8: far as like a business standpoint and a team LIKE

424
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 8: i think you should start at least your starters for

425
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 8: one or two sets at the beginning of the first

426
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 8: preseason game and see how they. Do because a lot

427
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 8: of teams are just they're they're resting their starters for

428
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 8: three weeks and then expect them to be ready to

429
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 8: go week one of the regular, seasons and we find

430
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 8: out a bunch of dudes they're getting hurt and all.

431
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 8: THAT i think that Seeing Joe burrow And Jamar chase connecting,

432
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,359
Speaker 8: early especially in preseason week, one is a good sign

433
00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 8: for The bengals that, hey these dudes is left off

434
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,160
Speaker 8: right where they picked up or picked up right where

435
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 8: they left.

436
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,919
Speaker 3: Off yeah now. Here, YEAH i appreciate you checking. In

437
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,800
Speaker 3: it's it's one of these. Things it just makes me

438
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 3: think about what preseason has turned. Into it's just become

439
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 3: very trendy to not play your ones in. PRESEASON a

440
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 3: lot of teams followed. That there was a, time you,

441
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,520
Speaker 3: know a little while ago where McVeigh was the first

442
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 3: guy to do, this and it's, like, wow that's a little.

443
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: Different he's not playing any of his. Starters like at

444
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 3: first it was maybe a, guy it might have been their,

445
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 3: quarterback he's not going to, play and then now it

446
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: was a lot of, guys we're not going to play

447
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 3: the entire. Preseason and it's just become a growing. Trend

448
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: and the, Thing i'll, say real, fast we'll get right

449
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 3: back out to the. Calls but the thing it makes

450
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 3: me think, OF i get, it but it's blown out of.

451
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 3: Proportion there have been over the years some injuries to

452
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 3: some prominent, players right they've gone down. Early maybe it's

453
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 3: a top draft pick gets. HURT jj McCarthy got hurt last,

454
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 3: year top ten, pick got hurt in the preseason. Game

455
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 3: didn't play a regular season game all year because of that.

456
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 3: Injury and they turned into like was that really? Necessary

457
00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 3: did you really need to get him out? There was

458
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: it gonna make that big of a. Difference that's how

459
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,880
Speaker 3: it's looked, at WHICH i, get BUT i think it's

460
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,359
Speaker 3: just blown out of. PROPORTION i think you could play

461
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 3: that game with. Anything it's not just preseason. Games it's joint,

462
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 3: practices it's training camp. Practices it's Like Rashaun slater of The,

463
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 3: chargers their left, tackle he got hurt in practice On.

464
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 3: Thursday no one's gonna be, like why was he? Practicing it's,

465
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 3: like what do you? Mean because he has to. Go

466
00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 3: he gotta, practice you gotta ramp up to the, season

467
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 3: you gotta get in football, shape you gotta HIT i,

468
00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 3: mean you gotta get. Ready and for whatever, reason it's

469
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:43,679
Speaker 3: just turned into the preseason is the only thing that

470
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: a lot of people circle and, say so why did

471
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 3: he need to be out? There did this injury even

472
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 3: need to take? Place that's the way it's thought about

473
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 3: quite a. Bit but they don't say that about training camp.

474
00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: Practices they don't say that about joint you, know practice

475
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 3: IS i just don't know why it's looked at so much.

476
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: DIFFERENTLY i just look at all of it as one

477
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 3: big group of ramping up toward the regular, season right, like,

478
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 3: yeah preseason game is a bit of a dress. Rehearsal

479
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 3: at least it's a game like game ish, situation, right

480
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 3: so that helps. YOU a lot of teams use that

481
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:25,719
Speaker 3: as a step to get ready for the regular. Season

482
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 3: and NOW i don't know why it's looked at as

483
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 3: something completely different than joint practices or training camp. PRACTICES

484
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 3: i think it's just another way to get ready if

485

540
00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: too getting him out. There, yeah, yeah, no but it's, look,

541
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,440
Speaker 3: man It's i'll say. THIS i don't want to hammer

542
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: this into the, ground but when a player gets hurt

543
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:14,200
Speaker 3: in a preseason, game it's. UNFORTUNATE i don't look at

544
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 3: it as, oh that was, unnecessary that was, Stupid like

545
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 3: that's the way it turns into quite a, bit AND

546
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 3: i just think it's. Unfortunate. MAN i think it's another

547
00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:28,360
Speaker 3: way to ramp up toward the regular. Season think about a, treadmill, Right,

548
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 3: like if you go to the gym and you put

549
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,040
Speaker 3: the treadmill, ON i don't know nine or ten miles per.

550
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 3: Hour let's say somewhere between eight and ten miles per.

551
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 3: Hour you hit it, like all, right. Go it doesn't

552
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: just immediately within one second go to that, speed you

553
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 3: know WHAT i. Mean it slowly kind of ramps up.

554
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 3: There that's what training camp, is that's what joint practices,

555
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 3: are that's what preseason games. Are it's ramping up to

556
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 3: week one and you have to do. That like if

557
00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 3: you think, That i'll put it this, way there's not one.

558
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: Team maybe it's The rams that they don't play their

559
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 3: guys mostly in the, preseason but there isn't one team

560
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: that sits their guys out of. Everything they don't sit

561
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 3: them out there all. Right no joint practices for, you

562
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 3: no preseason games for, you no training camp practices for,

563
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 3: you nothing like we just want to put you in

564
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 3: bubble wrap Until week one rolls. Around there isn't one

565
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 3: team doing. That they're all ramping up toward week, one

566
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 3: and the approaches differ a little. Bit some guys play

567
00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:40,320
Speaker 3: in the, preseason some guys. Don't from team to, team

568
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 3: but all of it is just ramping up to ward week.

569
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 3: One AND i don't know WHY i don't know. WHY

570
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 3: i don't want to go on a whole tangent, here

571
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 3: BUT i don't know why it's become so. Fashionable if

572
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 3: you want to expand, this like from THE nfl preseason

573
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 3: to load management in the, end man you talk about

574
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 3: embracing all facets of load, management some of these people

575
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,800
Speaker 3: act like you're out of your. Mind you're a monster

576
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 3: if you think about playing your guys back to back.

577
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 3: GAMES i don't know why it's become this fascination with

578
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 3: resting and sitting games out and not playing in the

579
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 3: preseason as if it's all good all across the. Board

580
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 3: i'm not going to be an idiot and tell you

581
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 3: there aren't some. Advantages there. Are there are some advantages

582
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 3: to doing those, things either setting a basketball player out

583
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 3: resting him a game, here game. There there's some good

584
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 3: that comes from. That but it isn't all good all

585
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:50,640
Speaker 3: across the. Board it just. Isn't why do you, think

586
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,520
Speaker 3: again the treadmill, thing think about The clippers or some

587
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 3: of these teams that have all these injuries in the.

588
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: Playoffs why do you think that happens because they're not

589
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 3: using the regular season to ramp up toward the, playoffs

590
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 3: they're sitting out too. Much and then when they put

591
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 3: the treadmill on nine miles per hour or whatever the nine,

592
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 3: setting and they try to just jump on the treadmill

593
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,480
Speaker 3: and keep, pace they. Can't they haven't ramped up. Enough

594
00:33:17,400 --> 00:33:20,400
Speaker 3: like that's what. Happens so this idea that it's just

595
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: all good all across the board to sit out games

596
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 3: in THE nba left and, Right i'm not talking just

597
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 3: like here, there or we're talking a decent, amount like

598
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,640
Speaker 3: A Kawhi leonard. AMOUNT i just don't think it's all

599
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,760
Speaker 3: good all across the. Board but that's what it's. Become

600
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,959
Speaker 3: it's Like Tom. Thibodeau they act Like Tom thibodeau is a.

601
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: Monster he's a maniac for playing his guys huge. Minutes

602
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: AND i JUST i don't go along with.

603
00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:46,600
Speaker 5: That.

604
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 3: MAN i just don't think it helps you all across

605
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 3: the board to sit guys. Out there's some. Advantages it's

606
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: not nothing but a sea of, advantages no disadvantages. Whatsoever

607
00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:03,400
Speaker 3: that's not, true just not. True let me think it one.

608
00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 3: More we got to do. One mike is In. CASEY

Speaker 3: MIKE i appreciate, that, Man thank you very much for.

622
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:38,480
Speaker 5: That as a as a former high school and college football,

623
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:44,040
Speaker 5: PLAYER i think THE nfl last two seasons set a

624
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 5: record for the amount of hamstrings and torn achilles. Injuries.

625
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:53,960
Speaker 5: Yeah now does that coincide with when they change the

626
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:57,719
Speaker 5: collective bargaining agreement where they don't hit in pads in

627
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 5: OTAs and they don't really go two days anymore like

628
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,799
Speaker 5: they did back in the nineties and the early two,

629
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,640
Speaker 5: thousands where you're not building up your stamina and your

630
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 5: strength and you're apt to have more. Injuries think about.

631
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 5: It equipment's gotten, better playing surfaces have gotten better, training weight,

632
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 5: rooms locker rooms have gotten. Better why are all the

633
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 5: injuries happening all of a Sudden, yeah because you're not

634
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 5: playing full preseason games. NOW i can make the argument

635
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 5: that when THE nfl schedule used to be sixteen regular

636
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:33,440
Speaker 5: season games in four preseason you would set all your

637
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 5: starters out the last game because they had two and

638
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:40,880
Speaker 5: a half games to get acclimated to routes and defensive

639
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:43,200
Speaker 5: schemes and that kind of thing they didn't want to

640
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 5: get her before the season. Opener i'll give you that.

641
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 5: Argument but when you only have three preseason games now

642
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 5: and the possibility of it will only be in two

643
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 5: in the near, future going to an eighteen game schedule

644
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 5: Like Roger goodell wants to, do you almost have to

645
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 5: play your stof because it's different when you're hitting another

646
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 5: colored jersey than when you are you, know The chiefs

647
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:10,319
Speaker 5: are just playing each. Other it's nice to Go saturday and, say,

648
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,560
Speaker 5: hey we're going to play against The. Cardinals we're going

649
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,280
Speaker 5: to play a different, scheme a different a different whole different.

650
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,879
Speaker 5: Organization you almost have to in if you have new,

651
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 5: players they don't they. Won't you, know every team has

652
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 5: turnover nobody's the same team offensively or defensively the next. Year,

653
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 5: yeah there's always. Changes So i'm in favor, of you,

654
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 5: know whether It's Josh allen Or mahomes or especially People Anthony,

655
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 5: richardson get out there and get as many reps as you.

658
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 5: nine in his first five, years in the first two

659
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 5: weeks of the. Year they've missed the playoffs the last two.

660
00:36:51,360 --> 00:36:54,560

Speaker 8: YEAH i mean.

663
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 5: We've taken care of The ravens and we've taken care

664
00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 5: of The, bills and we've ended their season four in

665
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 5: the last five. Years we do not want to See

666
00:37:02,800 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 5: cincinnati for some. Reason they are you, know they're In,

667
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:08,680

Speaker 3: Mangles, yeah no.

670
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 5: Doubt, yeah that's just that's just my argument for for

671
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:18,200
Speaker 5: the players to play in. Preseason, uh just you, know

672
00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 5: we've had more injuries and LIKE i, said everything else is.

673
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 5: Better why are why are we having so many torn

674
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 5: achilles and hamstrings and and you, know knees and things

675
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,000
Speaker 5: of that. Nature, yeah that's the POINT i wanted to.

00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:31,439
Speaker 3: Make for no, DOUBT i appreciate, That. Mike, yeah IT'S

677
00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,840
Speaker 3: i think there's absolutely a common link between that happening

678
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 3: with with players sitting out that that was the the.

679
00:37:39,719 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 3: EPIC i have to look it, up but, Uh stan

680
00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:45,160

00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:47,520
Speaker 3: mike just. Said you, know we used to practice, More

682
00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 3: we used to have THESE nba players play more, games

683
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:53,120

698
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,040
Speaker 3: confusing But i'll try to present it in a way

699
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:50,319
Speaker 3: where you know it at least makes. SENSE I i'm

700
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 3: surprised a bad opinion isn't floating out there right. Now

701
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,400
Speaker 3: i'm surprised you haven't turned on sports radio and heard

702
00:38:59,480 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 3: this bad. Take, okay now let me be. Clear i'm

703
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: not making this. Take this is not my. ARGUMENT i

704
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,720
Speaker 3: actually think the opposite of What i'm about to. Say

705
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:14,400
Speaker 3: i'm just surprised someone somewhere hasn't said these. Things so

706
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: the story is The lions have lost one of their

707
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 3: players for the, Season Ennis. Rakestraw. So he was a

708
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,520
Speaker 3: second round pick last. Year he's a. Cornerback it's probably

709
00:39:24,520 --> 00:39:27,160
Speaker 3: gonna get more playing time this. Season had a shoulder.

710
00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,880
Speaker 3: Injury he's out for the. Season he Left sunday's practice

711
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 3: early to be, evaluated and he had. Surgery he's, done

712
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: done for the. Season i'm surprised that someone somewhere hasn't

713
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 3: said Does Dan campbell push his guys a little too?

714
00:39:46,800 --> 00:39:50,319
Speaker 3: Much that's not my thought, again, Right this is not my,

715
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:55,040
Speaker 3: opinion but in this day and age OF nba load,

716
00:39:55,239 --> 00:39:58,239
Speaker 3: management in this day and age of don't play preseason,

717
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:01,839
Speaker 3: games it's. Evil you're you're really taking a chance. There

718
00:40:01,960 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: you're juggling steak knives by playing your guys in the.

719
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,760
Speaker 3: Preseason in this day and, age aren't you a little?

720
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 3: Surprised think of The lions' injuries last. Year they were

721
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:15,359
Speaker 3: a mash. Unit they had so many dudes banged up

722
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 3: out for the, season and then you get like training camp.

723
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 3: Injuries i'm surprised someone hasn't been, like is just The

724
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,360
Speaker 3: Tom thibodeau of THE? Nfl Dan campbell with his? Grit

725
00:40:27,400 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 3: is there a downside to?

726
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: Grit?

727
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,399
Speaker 5: Like i'm not.

728
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 3: Making that argument at. ALL i don't believe any of those.

729
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 3: THINGS i think it's. FOOTBALL i think it's an incredibly

730
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 3: violent physical, sport and injuries. Happen some years you have

731
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 3: really bad injury. Luck other years you're blessed with better injury.

732
00:40:45,640 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 3: Luck SO i don't believe those things at. All About Dan.

733
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: CAMPBELL i think he's doing a great job and it's

734
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 3: just unfortunate that there have been so many. Injuries But

735
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: i'm surprised someone somewhere hasn't just taken that and run with.

736
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 3: It he's the TIBs of THE nba are the tips

737
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,000
Speaker 3: of THE. NFL i, mean hopefully we don't hear, that

738
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:08,640
Speaker 3: But i'm surprised we. Haven't coming up, Next this has

739
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 3: gotten completely out of. Control
