Speaker 2: Gig ever and Rich and I have been doing it

00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: for years as your lead in on Sundays. All right,

25
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: we have a busy day in college football right now.

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: There's not a lot going on in terms of big

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 2: time battles or any kind of cliffhangers as we're looking

28
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: right now with Oregon up big against Illinois. They are

29
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: showing why they're ranked number one in the country right now.

30
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 2: Some people thought Alabama might be a little shaky today

31
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: at home against Missouri. So far no prom of the

32
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: tied up twenty nothing in that game. Vanderbilt got off

33
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: to an early league but now trail number five Texas

34
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: at the half twenty one to ten. We will have

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 2: in about an hour the clickoff of a game that

36
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: in the preseason looked like a good matchup Florida State

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: at Miamis and miamis seven and zero.

38
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: Can you beat Florida State is one and six? One

39
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 3: in six?

40
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: I mean, how many gigs is dj Ugula Lea gonna

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: get ouyungalala is? It is not working for them. So

42
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: there's some interesting games a little bit later on. Obviously,

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: we're going to talk a lot of NFL today. Adam

44
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 2: kap on our Fox Sports Radio NFL Insider will come

45
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: with us in about fifteen minutes. But I want to

46
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:15,679
Speaker 2: talk a little baseball right at the top. Last night,

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 2: of course, we saw the walk off Grand Slam home

48
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 2: run by Freddie Freeman. Terrific baseball game between the Dodgers

49
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: and the Yankees. Certainly lived up to the hype. But

50
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 2: here here's the thing. I want to do a little

51
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: perspective now. As you know, Carrie, I know a little

52
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 2: history of sports, you know, a little bit, just a

53
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: little bit.

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: My frustration with those that have total disdain for any

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 2: historical reference in anything, and I know there's a lot

57
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:47,559
Speaker 2: of you is perspective. In other words, if you're constantly

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: living in the moment, then you're just assuming that what

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 2: you're seeing.

60
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:53,119
Speaker 3: Is the best ever.

61
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess there's something to be said about that, right,

62
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 2: I mean, like, if you just don't acknowledge that there

63
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: is any history, that the only thing that matters is

64
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: what's happening in the moment, then I guess everything is

65
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: either the worst moment or the greatest moment ever, right.

66
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: Yes, And that's one of the biggest things which is

67
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 3: wrong with our society now, right, Like everything is in

68
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: this like microwave of now, and so you're either the

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 3: best or the worst in that moment, and that's not

70
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 3: fair to historically speaking, it's not fair, but even to

71
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: the players now like it's not fair because if you're

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 3: only basing them based off of what they're doing right now,

73
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 3: you're gonna live in this world where you live and

74
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 3: die by that performance and that's just not how sports goes.

75
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 2: Well, look at Freddie Freeman is a future Hall of

76
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: Famers and one of the most respected players of his generation,

77
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: well of the great players of his generation. He's had

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: some personal thing he's had to go to. It was

79
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: an amazing moment and he said all the right things,

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: including something that was not heard if you were not

81
00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 2: listening to the national broadcast. So after the game he

82
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 2: was talking to the local Dodger station and speaking to him.

83
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: They were making the proclamation that he goes down with

84
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 2: the all time legends of Dodger Baseball with that home run,

85
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 2: and his response was perfect. His response was, we have

86
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: to win the World Series right now. I'll go back

87
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 2: to the Kirk Gibson home run in nineteen eighty eight

88
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: because a lot of people are doing this side by sides.

89
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: I don't want to get into all of these. There

90
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: were very different circumstances. He wasn't going against a left

91
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 2: hander like Freeman who hadn't pitched in a month. He

92
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 2: was going against the number one closer of baseball, Dennis Arly.

93
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: He was hobbling at the plate. He got the count

94
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 2: to three and two. Wasn't a first pitch home run?

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: That aside. I was at that game. You were at

96
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: the game. I was at the game.

97
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: Wow.

98
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: So in nineteen eighty eight, I had quit my job

99
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: with the Raiders four games into the season. Two weeks later,

100
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: the I had a game I knew I wasn't going

101
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: to work for for Al Davis. So two weeks later,

102
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 2: the Raiders are on the road and we had season

103
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 2: tickets as the Raider organization, and there was no one

104
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 2: there to claim game one tickets, so they left them

105
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: with the receptionists. Virginia and she called me and she goes,

106
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 2: you want to go to the game?

107
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Wow?

108
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 2: And she did annoying about baseball. So we went to

109
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: the game. Obviously, the Dodgers are losing late for it,

110
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: so he's like seventh inch, She's like, it just really boring.

111
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: Can we go and already he could see, you know,

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 2: cars out in the parking lives. Trying to explain to her,

113
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 2: he goes, this is a nightmare to get out of here.

114
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 2: We might as well just stay tied the end, right.

115
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 2: So we did, and obviously we're there in this and

116
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: we had field level first base side twenty rows up

117
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 2: right behind the visiting dug up perfect seats. Like when

118
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 2: Gibson hit the home run, I could see his one

119
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,240
Speaker 2: hand flying off the bat, so my initial thought was

120
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 2: he popped it up to right and then it's a

121
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 2: home run. So we're all jumping up and down right

122
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: for twenty minutes, graight, I mean, it's ridiculous. But then

123
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 2: she looks at me as someone that literally knows nothing

124
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 2: about baseball.

125
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: She goes, so was that big?

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 2: And I told her I said, well, if by some miracle,

127
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: the Dodgers actually win this World Series, that home run

128
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: will live forever.

129
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:13,479
Speaker 3: Uh huh.

130
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 2: And so last night Freddie Freeman had the same perspective

131
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 2: when he said, we have to win the series. Yeah,

132
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 2: I mean, in the moment, it's great, but if we

133
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: don't beat the Yankees and win the series, it's barely

134
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: a footnote.

135
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's only one game, and as big as that

136
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 3: moment is, obviously, it's a grand Slam to win a

137
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: game in the bottom of the tenth inn and it's

138
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 3: a huge deal. If you don't complete the job, it

139
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 3: will be a footnote in history.

140
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, apparently it It'll be like the question is, who

141
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: is the only player to have a walk off Grand

142
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 2: Slam in a World Series game? That would be Freddy

143
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,719
Speaker 2: Freeman and lose, right, But so Freeman knows this. Everyone

144
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 2: else is like, oh, like this is Kirk Gibson. I'm like,

145
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: maybe maybe, maybe not nearly as dramatic, but maybe if

146
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 2: the Dodgers actually win the World Series and I have.

147
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 3: My chips in the basket of they will not win it.

148
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 3: I know this, I know everybody the Dodger fans around here.

149
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 3: I walk in.

150
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: I'm an enemy territory. I'm a Yankee cartman. Carmen, she

151
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: just walked out of here. So Alex almost came over

152
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: the table at her, because Alex obviously very much a

153
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: Dodgers fan. But Carmen said, no, I'm picking the Yankees

154
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: in seven. See he's picking them. But I am a fan.

155
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm going to the games. I'm usually in the in

156
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 2: there watching rooting, and so for me it was a

157
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 2: big old gut punch last night.

158
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 3: I mean for Boon to go with nasty nester who

159
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: haven't pitched them on in a month, and put him

160
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 3: in that Otani house.

161
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,240
Speaker 2: He did thanks to her dugow this. How about walking

162
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: the goal ahead run to second base? I know, see

163
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: that was my re I'm watching the game. I'm like,

164
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: I get it. You don't want to pitch the mookie,

165
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 2: but you literally are putting the winning run at second

166
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: base and scoring position. And then as I saw Freddie Freeman,

167
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: I said, one pitch, think grand slam, but I'm thinking

168
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 2: basic because you know he's got to throw a strike

169
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: because the bases are loaded, and he throw it right

170
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: down the pike, and obviously Freddie finished it. One other

171
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: story I want to add quickly here, and I don't

172
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: want this to sell him self serving in any way,

173
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: although everything I say seems self serve. So Fernando Vealezuela

174
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 2: passed away and in nineteen eighty one, his rookie season.

175
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 2: He is still to this day the only rookie ever

176
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: to win the Cy Young Award. He's the only one

177
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: to ever do it. I had a slight part in that.

178
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: So in nineteen eighty one, his rookie year, I was

179
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 2: working on Dodger Talk on a local station as a

180
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 2: personal assistant to the main host in eighty two and

181
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 2: eighty three, but he invited me to be at the

182
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: final game of the nineteen eighty one regular season sitting

183
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: in the press box. Well, that's the day all the

184
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 2: voting has done for all the baseball awards. So two

185
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 2: riders vote for MVP, two for Rookie the year there

186
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 2: was no Manager of the Area, end two for Cy Young. Well,

187
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 2: one of the two LA Dodger Beat writers had had

188
00:09:05,240 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 2: a vote for the Saying award that day was Chris Mortenson,

189
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 2: a young Chris Mortenson then working for the Daily Bries

190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 2: long before the late great Chris Mortenson, super guy and

191
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 2: of course became a legend at esping covering in the NFL.

192
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 2: So he walks over to Bud frilecause I'm really torn

193
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 2: because after his eight no start that year, Fernando was

194
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: five and seven the rest of the year. It was

195
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 2: a weird year, was a split year with a strike

196
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 2: and everything. And Tom Seaver, who was then pitching with

197
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: the Reds one fourteen and two. So he comes over

198
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: to Bud, obviously of a respected guy on my mentor

199
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: had been in the business forever. And Bud, you know

200
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: the reason I'm sitting there is I'm like the stat geek,

201
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: like long before there's the Internet. Like I'm just the

202
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: computer kid.

203
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 3: Right. Yeah.

204
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 2: So Bud looks at me and goes Hartman, he got

205
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: anything for him?

206
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: So I said, all right.

207
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Fernando led the league in starts, innings, complete games, strikeouts,

208
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 2: and he had eight complete game shutouts eight eight in

209
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: a season that was a third short. So Mort says,

210
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 2: you sold me. I'm gonna vote. Fernando won sever two.

211
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: The vote came out, Fernando won by three votes. Had

212
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 2: had he flipped it, sever would have.

213
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:13,240
Speaker 3: Won by one vote.

214
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 2: Really, he put sever first because it was five points

215
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: for a first, three for a second, one for a third.

216
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: Sever would have won by one vote.

217
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 3: Wow.

218
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: I had zero to do with Fernando winning. He should

219
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 2: have won the award. There should never have been a

220
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: question in Mort's mine. But the fact that I was

221
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 2: able to set him straight, I've always felt great about

222
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: that over these years.

223
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 4: Uh.

224
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 2: He is sorely missed. He was an incredible impact on

225
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 2: the LA scene. Fernando Venezuela was super special, great guy, beloved,

226
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: and I was so happy a year ago he was

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: only the second Dodger ever to have his number retired.

228
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 2: Who wasn't in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

229
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 3: Oh wow.

230
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: So the fact that he got to enjoy that day

231
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: with his family a year ago was great.

232
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,199
Speaker 3: So did he have? Was that his first and only

233
00:10:59,440 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: Cy Young?

234
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 4: That was it?

235
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 3: That was it.

236
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 2: That was it, the one Cy Young and still to

237
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,839
Speaker 2: this day, the only rookie ever to win the Cy

238
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: Young Award.

239
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: Bus the Skeins had a chance this year, right for

240
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 3: a little while.

241
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean Doc Gooden was as good as

242
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,200
Speaker 2: they got, but he finished second that year in eighty four.

243
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: But yeah, so anyway, we'll see what happens in Game

244
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 2: two of the World Series. Obviously, Carrie rooting for the

245
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: Yankees to even the sun. Let's go tonight, baby, We're

246
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 2: going to tie it up tonight. But the bigger thing

247
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 2: for the Dodgers, besides everything else, is the Yankees had

248
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: their ace on the mount and Garret Cole looked like

249
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 2: an ace and the Dodgers still end up winning the game.

250
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: And that was the big thing there.

251
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 2: All right, coming up on the other side, We're going

252
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,559

00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: on and I heard earlier with Alex and Carmen. They

272
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 2: were like saying, we're not friends for the next potentially

273
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 2: nine days. I was just about to ask, are we friends?

274

Speaker 2: Carry you and I are okay, cool?

275
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: All right? I was. I was.

276
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: After all these years, I can put things in perspective.

277
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 3: Carry You're always my friends.

278
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much. We're all

279
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: friends here, all right. Speaking of a this man is

280
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,079
Speaker 2: generous enough to give his time to us every single Saturday.

281
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 2: Here he is our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider, Adam

282
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 2: Kaplan and Adam we carry here and his Jets pedigree.

283
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 2: I will not start with the Jets for the fifth

284
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: straight mee. So let's start with Tua and his return

285
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: to the Dolphins. Give us an update. He will be

286
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 2: active for this game? Is he starting? Is he ready

287
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: to go? What's the update on Tua?

288
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,320
Speaker 4: Yeah? I mean the Dolphins. Yeah, he's ready to go.

289
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 5: The good thing is it's everything they thought would be

290
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,960
Speaker 5: no setback. Who's actually cleared yesterday, which is usually a

291
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 5: wait till Saturday. But he was cleared yesterday out of

292
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 5: the protocol. They add him to the fifty three man

293
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 5: roster and he's ready to play. So he's good there. Now,

294
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 5: the question would be is this the smartest thing? And

295
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 5: that this has always been the debate with Tua, Should

296
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 5: you really do this? I mean, you have to leave

297
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 5: it up to the player. He's got to make this

298
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 5: decision on his own. He's cleared medically, by the way,

299
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 5: that's important to note, particularly for his contract. By the way,

300
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 5: there was ever a problem between the club and the team,

301
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 5: I mean the club and the player. It comes down

302
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 5: whether he's cleared or not from a club standpoint, and

303
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,320
Speaker 5: then the independent neurologiers and also to his doctor Steve

304
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 5: by the way, that's also been a part of this.

305
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 5: To has had his own medical team separate from the club,

306
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 5: which is recommended. He also got cleared by people he

307
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 5: consulted with. So it's a big thing. It's a big

308
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 5: game there. Look, they're two and four. They've gotten obviously

309
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 5: the quarterback problems, the red rushers are hurt. They haven't

310
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 5: been a very good football team, and they play a

311
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 5: team that the Cardinals is sort of not very talented.

312
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 5: They play very hard, they play competitively, so it'll be

313
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 5: a fun game in South Miami tomorrow. But yeah, I'm

314
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 5: just glad that he's playing. But he had by the way,

315
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 5: he said, he's been symptom free really for a long time.

316
00:14:51,160 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 4: That's the other part of this. But again, he was

317
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: on IR and he's ready to go.

318
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 3: Before I move on to the Jets, because I am

319
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 3: the Jet alone, I want to kind of pig back

320
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 3: on that question and say, all right, he's back. They're

321
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 3: two and four. The offense seems a sell of itself

322
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 3: when he's not in. Can he get them rolling? And

323
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 3: can they make some noise from this point on with

324
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 3: them being back?

325
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 4: You mean that you're talking about the Dolphins.

326
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, with to of back, Yeah, yeah, they can.

327
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: And see here's the thing.

328
00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 5: Offensively, yes, defensively, they they're just not there. You know,

329
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 5: they lost Jalen Phillips unfortunately to another season ending injury.

330
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 5: Bradley Chubb's come back from another bad injury. So not

331
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 5: having you do your two best edge rushers, that's clearly

332
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 5: an issue. I think that's part of it.

333
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 3: There.

334
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 5: Their run game will will carry them. There's no there

335
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 5: are more of a balanced team. Mike McDaniel once had

336
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 5: coming from the Shanahan Tree. But now, I mean, look

337
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 5: like the Jets of the Dolphins, Oh you're really fighting now?

338
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 5: Is for a wildcard spot and By the way, Steve's

339
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 5: team Denver, who Steve picked the bank the playoffs? You know,

340
00:15:49,880 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: I got to bring it up. That's an unreal call.

341
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: If it happens, I mean, iom a dinner. I'm telling you,

342
00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 5: get him out. No, I'll take care of the super

343
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 5: Bowl if they make the if they get us a

344
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 5: wild card, I'm like, I don't say it. I'm still

345
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 5: waiting for the other shoe to drop. It hasn't dropped yet.

346
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:03,920
Speaker 5: We'll see what happened.

347
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Am I the only one that actually predicted that before? Well,

348
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 2: they should be they should be Carolina at home. All right,

349
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Jets.

350
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: Let their schedule, by the way, before we move on,

351
00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 4: look at the Broncos schedule.

352
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: I'm telling you I thought they I said before the season,

353
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 2: they can eke out ten wins and get a wild card.

354
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 3: All right.

355
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: One team that is struggling, obviously, the Jets. Obviously. Now

356
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,640
Speaker 2: if they lose on the road to the Patriots, is

357
00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers retire?

358
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 3: I mean it's okay, So.

359
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: What a good game so far? By the way, was Patriots?

360
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 3: Okay?

361
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: So you had DeVante Adams back, It didn't mean anything.

362
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: You've been holding on to that Jets will win the

363
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 2: AFC East.

364
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 3: Get let's take a step back.

365
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,840
Speaker 2: We're moving we're moving away from that. Okay, okay, but

366
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 2: I mean what what's what's not right with the Jets?

367
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 2: How did they get to two and five? And it's

368
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 2: funny that Rogers has brought up the culture before.

369
00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 5: There's just something something is to be off I know

370
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 5: their defense is not playing nearly as well. Oh, they're

371
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 5: not as they thought it would be. Kerrey would know

372
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 5: this being a Jets guy. They're just not They're not

373
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 5: getting the turners. Now we should mention a son Reddick

374
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 5: will play tomorrow. That's certainly going to help. Their pass

375
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 5: rush has certainly been missing. They're not making the big

376
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 5: plays on defense. They've been okay on defense and obviously offensively. Look,

377
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 5: this last game was just not good enough for Their

378
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 5: offense has been missing something. This thing seems like it's

379
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 5: been slapped together. It's the offensive line also has not

380
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 5: been great. Brees Hall has been good, but not quite

381
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 5: as good as last year coming back from his injury.

382
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,160
Speaker 5: Actually was pretty good last season. So nothing is steve

383
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 5: the things they're not playing up to the potential. It's

384
00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 5: probably you know, on your question, you know, it's one

385
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 5: thing if you lose close games, you're playing really well,

386
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:46,880
Speaker 5: but you lose some close games, maybe start turning that around.

387
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 5: They're not even doing that. They're just not there's something

388
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: off of this football team. I can tell you what's

389
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 5: off with them, Adam. They look they're not having the fun.

390
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 5: So when you get pressure, when you get pressure, I

391
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 5: know that I can see.

392
00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 3: It just in watching the game. The way they play,

393
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: it's like everything's like I have to do it right.

394
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:04,919
Speaker 3: So they're walking on the xhos when they perform, and

395
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 3: so there's no joy in the actual Even when they

396
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 3: make a play. It looks like it's like they're wiping

397
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 3: their brow like they're they're excited they made the play internally,

398
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 3: but they're not able to express him. So that's what

399
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 3: I see when I look at it. But I want

400
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 3: to talk about the culture issue. It's a culture thing. Yeah,

401
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 3: we good, But I'm want to talk about Hasson Reddick

402
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 3: as well. Right, So he's coming off, he's coming off

403
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 3: the couch. I mean, we saw a quarterback do that

404
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 3: last year and Joe Flacco and play well. But this

405
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 3: is a pass rusher. How does he how is he

406
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: going to be able to muster up enough energy to

407
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 3: happen effect early on.

408
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, and by the way, he has to learn this

409
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 5: new front. Now they play the wide nine, so which

410
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 5: is what pass rushers love. That's when the ends are

411
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 5: outside the tackle box. They so this should this son

412
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 5: should do Wellness. Now we have to understand though he's

413
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: been an exceptional as to stand up pas rusher, So

414
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,640
Speaker 5: this is gonna be a little different. But pass rushers

415
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 5: like playing this front. And one thing about Asan is

416
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,640
Speaker 5: that he's been a very dorable in his career. I

417
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,719
Speaker 5: without looking, I don't think he's missed a game due

418
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:03,640
Speaker 5: to injury. If he has, he's been very few. So

419
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 5: he's Look, he's got to perform well here. They need

420
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 5: this against a very bad Patriot offensive line that's beat

421
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 5: up physically. This is a game which they should absolutely win.

422
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 5: It's again, it's not it's just about how about playing

423
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 5: good football? Jet's how about doing that forget about playoffs

424
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 5: right now? They just need to play good football.

425
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: Deshaun Watson, Yeah, Seed, we watched, We watched as it

426
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 2: happened when his achilles unraveled, and you see that, you know,

427
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: calf muscle.

428
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: It's it's painful just to watch it.

429
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 2: So the Browns, uh, you know, at home against the Ravens.

430
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 3: I mean, wow, I mean.

431
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: This is going to get ugly. Lamar Jackson running away

432
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: with the m v P this year. Derrick Henry, how

433
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 2: is a guy his age, his side still running eighty yards?

434
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 2: We were Kerry and I were just talking about that.

435
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 2: But what's next for this Browns organization? Where did they

436
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: go from this catastrophe?

437
00:19:58,560 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 3: A year ago?

438
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 2: This team was in playoffs, they had the Coach of

439
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 2: the year, defensive player of the year, comeback player of

440
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: the year.

441
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 3: Where do the Browns go from here?

442
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 5: Well, the owner, Jimmy Haslm, has to walk away from ninety.

443
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,159
Speaker 4: Two million dollars that it's the only way they can

444
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 4: move on. To answer your question, they.

445
00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 5: Owe Watson ninety two million, fully guaranteed over twenty five

446
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 5: or twenty six. If Haslms want to move on from it,

447
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 5: they will move on. It's the They have to do

448
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 5: this for the sake of the French, the sake of

449
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 5: the fans. Watson can't play anymore and now he's coming

450
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 5: off with a serious injury. No matter what they own

451
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 5: the money, the contract expires after twenty six. No one

452
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 5: will trade for the contract. They cannot go on as

453
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 5: a franchise, and I believe they'll have all their picks

454
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 5: backs starting next year. They can't go on until they

455
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 5: get a quarterback. They don't have that guy in the

456
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,119
Speaker 5: roster right now. So the answers question Steve, it starts

457
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,680
Speaker 5: with Watson. They need to move on from him. It'll

458
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 5: be a Jimmy Haslm decision. It's not even arguably it's

459
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:56,440
Speaker 5: the worst transaction NFL history.

460
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 4: I mean, let's call it.

461
00:20:58,280 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 3: Like it is.

462
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 5: It's an absolute esther the bad mistake not to bring

463
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,719
Speaker 5: back Flacco, and that's you know. I've talked about this

464
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 5: on with Dan Bayer. My understanding was that they they

465
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 5: just wanted to move on.

466
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 4: They didn't.

467
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 5: They were worried about the distraction of everyone getting behind Flacco.

468
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 5: If they had a bench Watson or Watson got hurt,

469
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 5: he had to play that. That was part of what I

470
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 5: was told. So look now, now Jamis is actually by

471
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 5: the way, James is a gunsligger man. Watch him tomorrow. Yeah,

472
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 5: I know one thing about the Ravens. Yes, their offense

473
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 5: is great. Their secretary has been really bad. They're giving

474
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 5: up massive digits. I'm not saying Cleveand's going to win

475
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 5: the game, but this could be. It looks like the

476
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 5: weather should be good. This could be there could be

477
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 5: some points scored in this game.

478
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I want to switch it. I want to go

479
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: to the NFC South really quickly. So the Falcons Buccaneers

480
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 3: big game in the NFC South. The Buccaneers are depleted

481
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 3: at the receiver position. What are they going to do

482
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 3: to kind of remedy that situation? And it looks like,

483
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 3: I mean, at this moment, the Falcons could be in

484
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 3: the driving seat.

485
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

486
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:58,840
Speaker 5: And I picked Tampa to win this division. I thought

487
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: they were going to win it, but they're just so

488
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 5: beat up. So Mike Evans is going to be on

489
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 5: a while when he reinjured his right hamstring, So that's

490
00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 5: that's gonna He's had, by the way, most of his

491
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 5: career has had hamstering problems, but he hasn't missed a

492
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 5: lot of games for it. It's been nagging, but now

493
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 5: he's in trouble. So Sterling Sheppard, they'll get him out

494
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 5: of mothballs. He'll uh, it's really what they have to do.

495
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 5: Like he's had so many bad injuries, but he could

496
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:25,720
Speaker 5: still play. He'll be their slot receiver. Jalen McMillan will

497
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 5: start a rookie, a third rounder, and they'll go if

498
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 5: Trey Palmer, who by the way, could run out of Nebraska.

499
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: He was a six rounder last season. Kate Otton's going

500
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 5: to be heavily targeted. Their their fourth round tight end

501
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 5: two years ago. Probably play more twelve personnel, which is

502
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 5: more two tight ends, two receivers. Then I would think

503
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:45,400
Speaker 5: three receivers, because they just don't have the receivers, don't.

504
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 5: I know Todd Balls loves the run game talking to

505
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 5: people work for the Bucks, but I don't know how much.

506
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,479
Speaker 5: There's not got much of a choice now. And by

507
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 5: the way, their secondary has been torched. Their best corner

508
00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 5: of Jamal Dean is on ir that they got. It's

509
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 5: a shame They're just this is a thing, guys, as

510
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 5: we talk here. If you want to know why a

511
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 5: lot of teams are good struggling, it's due to injury.

512
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 5: The Bucks are just the latest.

513
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,719
Speaker 4: One, all right.

514
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,880
Speaker 2: I promise I won't bring up the Jets next week

515
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,600
Speaker 2: unless they lose to New England. If you have to know,

516
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 2: you have to. If they lose the pass that will

517
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 2: be our lead. Adam tremendous stuff. Getting ready for another

518
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 2: big week in the NFL. We'll talk to you next

519
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: Saturday time. I got it, Adam Kaplan, our Fox Sports

520
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 2: Radio NFL insider. All right, let's find out what is

521
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 2: a trending right now, a little hiatus from his very

522
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 2: busy UCLA football schedule.

523
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:33,560
Speaker 3: He does it all.

524
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 6: Yeah, I got the bye week.

525
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 2: That's the bye week this week, getting ready for Nebraska

526
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: next week. Nebraska look pretty good against Ohio State.

527
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 6: He got a really good defense.

528
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 7: I think that's going to be a good, uh, you know,

529
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 7: old fashioned Big ten West style game. You know, first

530
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 7: to twenty might win next week in Lincoln. So Nick

531
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 7: was at the birthplace of college football last week there

532
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:53,360
Speaker 7: at Rutgers.

533
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: Yes, right, that's right, An he signs that that's the birthplace.

534
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, they let you know.

535
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 7: You don't get within one hundred yards of that stadium

536
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: without knowing that that was the birthplace of college football.

537
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: But Nick, are they is it the birthplace? Did they

538
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: really let you know that it was the birthplace when

539
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 3: you went in?

540
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 6: I mean, no one actually told me. It's funny. We

541
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 6: got we So me and a couple of the broadcast crew.

542
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 7: We took an uber over there from the hotel and

543
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 7: we got dropped off by the main tunnel where the

544
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 7: buses get in. But this is three three and a

545
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 7: half hours before. They just let us walk right in.

546
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 7: No one checked our credentials. We had duffel bag. We

547
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 7: walked right into the place. Nice, good security there. Busy

548
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 7: day today, Nick, Yeah, we kind of got some duds

549
00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 7: going on in this three thirty eastern window of games. Honestly,

550
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 7: you know what I'm watching right now. So our guy

551
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 7: Brandon in the edit room cutting all the highlights. He's

552
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 7: trying to hit a six game parlay and the biggest

553
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 7: or the longest one he had to hit, at least

554
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 7: it seemed a couple hours ago, he took the Stanford

555
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,040
Speaker 7: money line. Well, the Cardinal have come back against Wake

556
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 7: twenty four to twenty four in the fourth. So that's

557
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,560
Speaker 7: the one I'm really keeping a close eye on because

558
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 7: all the ones involving ranked teams are blowouts right now.

559
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 7: The closest one is in Nashville, and now there's a

560
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 7: chance here for Vanderbilt to make it interesting. Number twenty

561
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:17,440
Speaker 7: five Commodorees against number five Texas second time this game

562
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 7: Quinnie Ors has had a ball tipped at the line,

563
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 7: high end of the air. Vanderbilt has picked it off.

564
00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 7: That's how they took a seven to nothing lead earlier.

565
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 7: Just got the ball into the red zone off that interception.

566
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 7: So it's twenty four to ten Texas inside five minutes

567
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 7: to play in the third. Elsewhere, you've got number one

568
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 7: Oregon blowing out number twenty Illinois thirty eight to nine.

569
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 7: They got nine minutes to play in the fourth quarter there.

570
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 7: Number eleven BYU looks like they're gonna get to eight

571
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:45,360
Speaker 7: to oh. They lead UCF thirty four to ten, ten

572
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 7: minutes to go in.

573
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:46,720
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter.

574
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 7: Number fifteen Alabama, they have bounced back in a big way,

575
00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 7: shutting out number twenty one Missouri thirty four to nothing.

576
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 7: Still eleven minutes to play there. Brady Cook, Missouri's quarterback

577
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,160
Speaker 7: was knocked out in that one, so that's not helping

578
00:25:59,200 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 7: the Tigers.

579
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 6: Finals from earlier.

580
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 7: Number four Ohio State, they survived that scare from Nebraska

581
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 7: twenty one to seventeen. You've got Ohio State at Penn

582
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,679
Speaker 7: State next weekend. Number thirteen Indiana is now eight and oh.

583
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,200
Speaker 7: That matches the best start to a season in program

584
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 7: history as they beat Washington thirty one seventeen, number twelve

585
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 7: Notre Dame all over Navy, handing the Mids their first

586
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 7: loss of the year fifty one fourteen the final they

587
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,360
Speaker 7: played that one in the meadowlands and number eighteen old

588
00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 7: miss They kept their slim playoff hopes alive. They were

589
00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 7: down for it halftime against Oklahoma, came back in one

590
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 7: twenty six to fourteen. A couple of notes in the NFL,

591
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 7: sounds like Jade and Daniel is going to be a

592
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 7: game time decision tomorrow. He went through walk through today,

593
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 7: so we'll have to wait and see on that one

594
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,960
Speaker 7: in the morning. But all signs I feel like he's

595
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 7: gonna play. Didn't practice until Friday, practice yesterday, walk through today.

596
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 7: I think we're gonna get our number one verse, number

597
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 7: two draft picks. Cowboys are set to activate running back

598
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 7: Dalvin Cook. They've got the Niners. ESPN says the Rams

599
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 7: are open to trading former All Pro corner tra Davius White.

600
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,199
Speaker 7: He's been inactive the last couple of games, and of

601
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 7: course we got Game two of the World Series coming

602
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 7: up at eight Eastern. Yoshinobu Yamamotos starting for the Dodgers

603
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 7: and Carlos Rodin for the Yankees.

604
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 2: All right, Kenry, thank you very much.

605
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 4: Nick.

606
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 2: Once again, this is Fox Football Saturday and we're live

607
00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 2: from the Tairaq dot com studios. So, in this first

608
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 2: year of the expanded college football playoff, we'd still have

609
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 2: even with Navy's blowout loss to Notre Dame that was

610
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 2: a non conference game, obviously, we still have a chance

611
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: of really one of the weirdest things ever to happen,

612
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:45,680
Speaker 2: where we have Army and Navy still undefeated in conference

613
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 2: play in the AAC facing each other in the AAC

614
00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 2: Championship game the week before the traditional Army Navy game.

615
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,159
Speaker 2: Because the Army Navy game is always the last game played.

616
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 2: It's that Saturday when they announced the Heisman Trophy. All

617
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 2: the conference championship games are gone, and you have that

618
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 2: one game remaining. Boll they could play that day in

619
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 2: thea SED Championship game that could well decide whether one

620
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,199
Speaker 2: of them actually gets into the playoffs, and then they

621
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 2: would have a rematch the very next week in the

622
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:22,760
Speaker 2: traditional Army Navy game.

623
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 3: Is that really?

624
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 4: Yes?

625
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 2: Wow, this is how wacky this is. Now, with this

626
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 2: crazy it just seems incredible that. You know, almost every

627
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 2: year you look at twelve schools, all right, so you think,

628
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: all right, twelve schools in the playoff, it shouldn't be

629
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 2: that difficult. There might be a couple of things at

630
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 2: the end. But honestly, this year for college football is

631
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 2: so off the charts. We've already had four different schools

632
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: ranked number one in the country. Oregon will hang on

633
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,760
Speaker 2: to that today after a big win against Illinois.

634
00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 3: But I don't know about you.

635
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 2: Again, eyeball tests, I just don't see any college team

636
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 2: that's blowing me away this year.

637
00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, the same with me. I mean, the Oregon

638
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 3: is the team that you know. I mean, obviously, when

639
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 3: you look at it now, the Ohio State game doesn't

640
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 3: look as great. But when you look at that from

641
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: the eyeball test and you win a big game like that,

642
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: it gives you the edge. And so I would look

643
00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: at them and say, they have the most complete offense

644
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 3: and their defense is pretty good. So I would say

645
00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:27,440
Speaker 3: they are, in my opinion at this moment, the best

646
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 3: team in college football. But yeah, I'm with you. Built

647
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 3: the bank on them, absolutely not. That's what I didn't

648
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:33,480
Speaker 3: bet today because I was scared.

649
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it just it's weird with the playoff,

650
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 2: and then obviously with Texas and Oklahoma moving into the

651
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 2: SEC and the four West Cools schools schools and moving

652
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,880
Speaker 2: into the Big Ten, it's wide.

653
00:29:45,920 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: Oh, but I think it's going to be great.

654
00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: I you know, we had a conversation pre show here

655
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 2: we're talking about the state of basketball, the game of basketball,

656
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 2: and with all the great stars in the NBA, you know,

657
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 2: the brand of basket ball to me is not all

658
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 2: that appealing, you know, and I think you would agree

659
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:07,800
Speaker 2: with that. But the one thing we also know is

660
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 2: you can't beat the nca Basketball Tournament.

661
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 3: Nothing like it. Nothing like it, nothing like it.

662
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that the best players now bypass the

663
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 2: college game and goes straight into the NBA. It doesn't matter.

664
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: If you look at the mops over the last ten

665
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 2: years of the Final Four, it's like literally a who's

666
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 2: who Who's that. It doesn't matter. The format for the

667
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 2: NCAA Basketball Tournament is flawless. It just flawless, and everyone

668
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 2: loves it. Everyone fills out a bracket even if you

669
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,440
Speaker 2: haven't watched a single college basketball game. And I'm just

670
00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: wondering if we'll get to that level. With the college

671
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:44,440
Speaker 2: football Playoff, I don't know.

672
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 3: And the reason I say that is because it's just

673
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 3: like even with the NCAA tournament right there, there's always expansion.

674
00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:52,560
Speaker 3: So right like from you know, the sixty four, we

675
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 3: got to get the last four ran sixty eight, like,

676
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 3: it's always plus something.

677
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: But you don't need that because you have the conference tournaments.

678
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,840
Speaker 2: Every one is very few schools do not qualify for

679
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 2: their conference tournaments. So the week before you have the

680
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 2: conference tournaments is like the opening of the nca tournament.

681
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 2: Do you see a day when they'll actually expand the

682
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 2: college football playoff beyond twelve schools?

683
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 3: I hope not.

684
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: I mean, could we have sixty four football schools?

685
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 3: Absolutely not. That would be terrible. That would be bad football.

686
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 3: Tall right, take yourself back to your Lowville day.

687
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: Let me go back, all right, So even now, if

688
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,280
Speaker 2: you're seated five through twelve, if you were to get

689
00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 2: all the way to the championship game, that's four playoff

690
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:42,479
Speaker 2: games exactly, minimum three possible four if you're coming out

691
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: of that five through twelve group does that And and

692
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 2: by the way, let's say you played in your conference

693
00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: championship game and got relegated to you know, playing that

694
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 2: first week. That is a potential seventeen game season. Could

695
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: you have seen that when you played in college?

696
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 3: Absolutely not, Like I was done after the Liberty Ball.

697
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 3: I want to go home, you.

698
00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,400
Speaker 2: Know, and you had a month off exactly at the

699
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 2: end of the season and the Liberty Ball exactly.

700
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:10,000
Speaker 3: So No, I couldn't see it happening. And the attrition money,

701
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,720
Speaker 3: you know, it's all about money, but the attritionan on

702
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 3: the player. It just it just wouldn't be fair for

703
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: the player. It's not in college anyway, like their bodies

704
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 3: are still developing. Most of those guys are young. It

705
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,080
Speaker 3: wouldn't be it wouldn't be an advantageous thing for the sport.

706
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 2: And the X factor I said this when they introduced

707
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 2: this twelve school playoff is you have let's just use

708
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:31,240
Speaker 2: a quarterback who's projected to be a high pick in

709
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,480
Speaker 2: the NFL draft and he's staring the possibility of four

710
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 2: playoff games exactly, No, you better come.

711
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 3: Up with some nil money. Well, they got it.

712
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 2: I mean, You're like, Okay, for every game I win

713
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: in the playoff, I want a bonus for sure, right absolutely,

714
00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: otherwise I bail out and I'd say, and I'm getting

715
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: ready for the draft, go with your backup.

716
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 3: That's my point, right, There's no way, there's no way

717
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: I would play that many extra games. If not what

718
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,920
Speaker 3: that guy I mean, these insurance policies don't don't ens

719
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: of what you can make on the next level. So

720
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 3: I would pack it up and go. I would pack

721
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,000
Speaker 3: my ball and go to the next level.

722
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 2: For sure, I say, going into this year, I'm very

723
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: anxious to see how this plays out.

724
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 3: It's because we have no clue. It should be fun.

725
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 3: I think we had so many situation scenarios where there's

726
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 3: a team left out that we believe that could have

727
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 3: been in it, right, and so the twelve should be good.

728
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 2: That should be the basis and no more after that. Well,

729
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:26,800
Speaker 2: you have the five conference champions and the seven at larges.

730
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 2: You figure probably five of those seven will come out

731
00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: of the Big ten in the SEC.

732
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 4: Yes.

733
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll try to get.

734
00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 2: An extra ACC team and they'll try to get another

735
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:38,600
Speaker 2: Big twelve team in.

736
00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 3: They'll try. The only way they'll get another ACC team

737
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:43,800
Speaker 3: in is if Miami stays unefeet and then Clemson sneaks

738
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: in there.

739
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 2: Well, Clemson has played pretty well, really good.

740
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 3: Yeah.

741
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And there's a guy that does not believe in nil.

742
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 2: There's a guy that doesn't believe in the transfer portal.

743
00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 2: He says, I need unity on my team. That would

744
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 2: be Dabos Sweeney. All right, speaking of college football. Coming

745
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 2: up on the other side, it's my Heisman update. This

00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 2: am privileged for the fifteenth year to have a vote

755
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 2: for the Heisman Trophy.

756
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:32,319

757
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:35,080

760
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know about that, but there's eight hundred

761
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 2: and seventy media members that never never changes. And then

762
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 2: all former winners have a vote. I remember in nineteen

763
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,680
Speaker 2: eighty five, Marcus Allen's ballot came to the Raider offices,

764
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 2: and I handed it to him and I said, you

765
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,359
Speaker 2: got to vote for Chuck Long. I mean, he's having

766
00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 2: an unbelievab year of the Iowa quarterback. He goes, Steve,

767
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,279
Speaker 2: I always vote running back, I'm voting Bo Jackson, which

768
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: he did and it was one of the closest votes

769
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,239
Speaker 2: of all time. Whatever happened to that Bo Jackson guy?

770
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: All Right, each week I like to update h and

771
00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: where I stand in the Heisman vote. We start with

772
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,360
Speaker 2: my current number three.

773
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:25,640
Speaker 1: Then Jief's gonna go left and we'll start jumps into

774
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 1: the end zme.

775
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,040
Speaker 6: Tim mc gabriel couldn't hear it off.

776
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: He reads the DS, pulls him out and jumps into

777
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: the end.

778
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,160
Speaker 2: ZME going left at Jerry Allen fromlear Field and Dylan

779
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,440
Speaker 2: gabriel jumps into my top three.

780
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:41,160
Speaker 3: Why not?

781
00:35:41,239 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 2: You're the quarterback of the number one ranked team in

782
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:46,000
Speaker 2: the country completing well over seventy percent of your passes.

783
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: Of course, it's like his twelfth year of college. He's

784
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,560
Speaker 2: ninety two years old, he's been a rustled for a while.

785
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 2: It's his third school. But when you're the quarterback of

786
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,360
Speaker 2: the number one team with the numbers he has, that'll

787
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 2: get you on my Heisman list. Here is my current

788
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: number two.

789
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,880
Speaker 3: Snap handoff, No, he throws left side of the Royal,

790
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 3: He lunches, he got it.

791
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 4: Touchdown.

792
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,759
Speaker 3: It's a touchdown Miami inside the.

793
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:16,359
Speaker 4: Game find or touchdown to Royo.

794
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 2: Wh're twenty six seconds ago.

795
00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 4: It's a touchdown.

796
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 2: That's Hurricanes Radio Network. Cam Ward, another guy in his

797
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,200
Speaker 2: third school of his collegiate career, has led Miami to

798
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:30,560
Speaker 2: an undefeated record, leads the nation, and passing yard should

799
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:34,080
Speaker 2: roll him up today against Florida State. Twenty four touchdowns,

800
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 2: five picks. Cam Ward has been the most consistent quarterback

801
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 2: so far in college football this year.

802
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 3: I got to see him two weeks ago up close

803
00:36:41,120 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 3: and personal. I wasn't at the game, but on the

804
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,400
Speaker 3: couch and saw what he did to my Louisville Cardinals

805
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:47,240
Speaker 3: and it wasn't pretty. He was really good.

806
00:36:47,280 --> 00:36:48,960
Speaker 2: He was really good. He's had a couple of big

807
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 2: comebacks this year. So he is my current number two.

808
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 2: Here is my current number one, coming in motion as

809
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: baits handoff genty to the right side.

810
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,760
Speaker 3: Gmty sheds a for thirty forty fifty forty.

811
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 4: It's a foot race.

812
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:05,960
Speaker 3: Thirty twenty ten.

813
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 2: Another one play drive for Ashton genty seventy.

814
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 3: Five yards on the score.

815
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,439
Speaker 2: That's Bob Bueler from lear Field. I watched that game

816
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 2: last night. It was the toughest game of the year

817
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,360
Speaker 2: for Ashton genty. They loaded up the box UNLV. Pretty

818
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 2: good team, by the way. Yes, the thing that impressed

819
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,720
Speaker 2: me last night he still headed up with one hundred

820
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 2: and twenty eight yards rushing. Was this guy runs hard. Yes,

821
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 2: he's five nine, two hundred and eighteen pounds. He can

822
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,480
Speaker 2: move a pile. Yeah, he's got the breakaway speed. Yeah,

823
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 2: he's got eight runs over fifty yards. Even after yesterday's

824
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 2: still averaging eight point seven yards of carry for the season.

825
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 2: Ashton genty is still my number one. Ashton denty has

826
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,400
Speaker 2: to be number one. I the only thing that I

827
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 2: would throw out there with you, and I'm sure you've considered,

828
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 2: and I'm sure you've probably just moved Dylan Gabriel to

829
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,200
Speaker 2: that third spot. But Travis Hunter, where's he at? Well,

830
00:37:59,239 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: Travis Hunter's one of my top three of the entire tag.

831
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: But two straight weeks of being injured, it doesn't mean

832
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: he can't get back in it again. Who's the best

833
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 2: college football player in the country. Obviously, Travis Hunter is

834
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,800
Speaker 2: in the conversation which you got to stay on the field,

835
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:15,000
Speaker 2: and this has been the problem with him throughout his

836
00:38:15,080 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 2: college career. I mean, when you're playing both ways all

837
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:24,319
Speaker 2: the thousand, you know, trying to stay healthy is next

838
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 2: to him possible. So early on he was my number

839
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 2: one for several weeks. He's just got to get back

840
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: on the field, got it. So I would not discount that.

841
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 2: You know, everyone talks about, like you know, Charles Woodson

842
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,160
Speaker 2: won the Heisman at Michigan. He played some wide receiver.

843
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:44,440
Speaker 2: The one guy that really did it. And when I

844
00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: talk about playing both ways for an entire year, let's

845
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,480
Speaker 2: see here, let me make sure I've got the numbers

846
00:38:54,560 --> 00:38:54,960
Speaker 2: right on this.

847
00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:56,840
Speaker 3: I'm I always make sure.

848
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,880
Speaker 2: Is one of the great players in the NFL. Twelve

849
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,919
Speaker 2: time pro bowler made it, obviously to the Hall of Fame,

850
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 2: and that was a Champ Bailey at Georgia. Yeah, Champ

851
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 2: Bailey caught forty seven passes and he played defense the

852
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,520
Speaker 2: entire time, had three interceptions. Yes, he only finished seventh

853
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 2: in the Heisman voting that year. Yeah, I mean, playing

854
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:22,200
Speaker 2: literally both ways that entire year at the University of Georgia.

855
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:23,480
Speaker 3: Steve, I'm gonna tell you this and a lot and

856
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: people don't say this often enough. There are a lot

857
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: of players out there that can play both ways. Skill

858
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: set wise, now, well you could have that's my point.

859
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: But like and not to this. I'm not saying I'm

860
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 3: Travis Hunter whatever. It doesn't matter about how good he is.

861
00:39:37,960 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 2: But didn't you play both ways in high school?

862
00:39:40,280 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 3: Yes?

863
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 2: Of course, most of the great players, even to this day,

864
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 2: if you play wide receiver, corner, not that uncommon lineman

865
00:39:49,560 --> 00:39:52,160
Speaker 2: played both ways. Rich Ornberger played both ways when he

866
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 2: was in high school. That's my point. But at the collegiate.

867
00:39:56,160 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 3: Level, it's just too hard to do it. Just to

868
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 3: be out there both ways and play every snap. You

869
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,000
Speaker 3: just can't do it. And you're saying it right now.

870
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 3: He can't stay healthy. That's the only problem. So continue

871
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: update each week.

872
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:09,160
Speaker 4: There all right.

873
00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:11,200

Speaker 3: We'll get to that in a second.

884
00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 2: But Monciblanos is at game two. She's at Dodgers Stadium

885
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,000
Speaker 2: right now. Did she just update you what happened?

886
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:53,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

887
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 3: MANSI just sex mean, was like, she just gave me

888
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,400
Speaker 3: my blessing, her blessing to make all the picks and

889
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 3: browl predictions that you guys make. So I've been covered

890
00:41:01,360 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 3: there all right.

891
00:41:02,160 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 2: So I have decided and I talked to Patrick about this.

892
00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:09,200
Speaker 2: Huh in her absence, you will not be making it.

893
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Mazi, I guess it's not happening. No, well

894
00:41:12,600 --> 00:41:14,799
Speaker 2: not now. She probably said that because it was a

895
00:41:14,880 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 2: rough week for her. I made a couple of we

896
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 2: do the way we do our pix is different. We

897
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 2: just don't pick the winners of three games. We also

898
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,640
Speaker 2: do a bonus where you could pick the over under.

899
00:41:26,040 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 2: If you get it right, it's a bonus point. But

900
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,920
Speaker 2: if you get it wrong, you lose a point. And

901
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:34,560
Speaker 2: then we have bold predictions. Okay, I had two bold

902
00:41:34,600 --> 00:41:37,680
Speaker 2: predictions last week. One I predicted that C. J. Stroud

903
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,000
Speaker 2: would not have a touchdown pass. That was very bold,

904
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 2: and I nailed it, no touchdown passes. And then I

905
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 2: then I we had the Chiefs, well, we had the

906
00:41:48,480 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers game, yep, and I said the Chiefs

907
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:54,480
Speaker 2: should win by double digits.

908
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 3: That was bold. Those the two bold predictions, and that

909
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 3: sounds like insider trading.

910
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 2: Actually, somehow I got it right, So I will you know,

911
00:42:02,480 --> 00:42:04,560
Speaker 2: we can talk some games. We're going to talk plenty

912
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:08,000
Speaker 2: of games coming up in this hour. Carry One of

913
00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:11,279
Speaker 2: the games once again that we are going to be

914
00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 2: talking about is the game coming up tomorrow between the

915
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 2: Bears and the Commanders. And you got two teams right

916
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: now that are in the playoffs.

917
00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:21,239
Speaker 3: Yep.

918
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,399
Speaker 2: So if the season ends today, the teams that had

919
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:28,680
Speaker 2: the top two picks in the draft, the Bears and

920
00:42:28,719 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 2: the Commanders, led by their rookie quarterbacks, the Heisman Trophy winners,

921
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:40,160
Speaker 2: are in the playoffs. Are you surprised by either one

922
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,759
Speaker 2: of these teams both of these teams? Not surprised? Are

923
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:47,279
Speaker 2: you looking at five and two Commanders versus four and

924
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:49,600
Speaker 2: two Bears, Like, how did we get here? What is

925
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: your impression so far of how these teams have gotten

926
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:53,400
Speaker 2: to this point.

927
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:57,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, the most surprising, obviously is the Commanders. They seem

928
00:42:57,120 --> 00:43:02,719
Speaker 3: the furthest away. Jaydan Daniels has been brilliant, and you know,

929
00:43:02,800 --> 00:43:06,399
Speaker 3: you get that early genius start by him, and they're

930
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,479
Speaker 3: playing well on offense and they're doing all these things,

931
00:43:08,480 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 3: not putting the ball for two weeks or whatever, and

932
00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 3: you're impressed. And I understand that we talked about it

933
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,960
Speaker 3: earlier in the first segment, right, people being in the moment,

934
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,000
Speaker 3: and we were in the moment with Jaden Daniels and

935
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,000
Speaker 3: kind of dismissed Caleb Williams, and you know, he kind

936
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,840
Speaker 3: of started slow. Now he's picking up steam. The team's

937
00:43:24,840 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 3: getting better, He has a better he has an even

938
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:30,279
Speaker 3: better surrounding cast, in my opinion. So I'm excited to

939
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 3: see this game. I know Jayden's coming off an injury

940
00:43:32,920 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 3: and he's gonna be iffy. I'm sure he's going to

941
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,280
Speaker 3: play in this game. I'm more surprised by the Commanders,

942
00:43:37,320 --> 00:43:39,960
Speaker 3: and I'm thinking the Bears are probably right on the

943
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: track for what they have.

944
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:45,280
Speaker 2: Well, Jayden Daniels, like you said, historic, Remember the first

945
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:48,200
Speaker 2: four weeks of the season, his completion percentage was at

946
00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: eighty two percent. And they looked it up and found

947
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 2: out that no quarterback in the history of the NFL,

948
00:43:54,600 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: at any four game stretch ever completed eighty two percent,

949
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 2: much less the first four games they ever played.

950
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:00,840
Speaker 3: In the NFL.

951
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:03,879
Speaker 2: No quarterback I had ever done it, Wow, over four

952
00:44:03,920 --> 00:44:08,040
Speaker 2: games in a row. None, not Aaron Rodgers, not Tom Brady,

953
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: not Paydon no quarterback had ever done it before. So

954
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:15,279
Speaker 2: Jayden Daniels incredible numbers he put up at LSU or

955
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:20,080
Speaker 2: no Fluke. When you're going against you know, SEC caliber defenses,

956
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:22,960
Speaker 2: you're facing good defenses, so it wasn't too big of

957
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:25,480
Speaker 2: a moment. However, I will say this for Caleb Williams

958
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:27,600
Speaker 2: you mentioned obviously he's getting better.

959
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 3: He's getting much of course, yes, And you.

960
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:32,879
Speaker 2: Can just tell because I was watching Caleb Williams early

961
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 2: in the year.

962
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: He was rushing things.

963
00:44:35,360 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: You know, you get anxious, you get a little excited

964
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:40,640
Speaker 2: clock and you need to slow things down. When you

965
00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,680
Speaker 2: look at great quarterbacks in the NFL, they all look

966
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 2: like they're in slow motion.

967
00:44:45,440 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 3: There's no panic they are.

968
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:50,839
Speaker 2: Comfortable, you know, whether it was Brady or Manning or

969
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:55,520
Speaker 2: you know, Aaron Rodgers when he was actually good that

970
00:44:55,680 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: you know, there's no panic, Everything slows down and you're

971
00:45:00,520 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 2: able to go through the process and think about things

972
00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 2: before you actually make a decision on what you're going

973
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 2: to do with the football. So already I'm seeing that

974
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 2: with Caleb Williams. I didn't have any doubt that Kayla

975
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: Williams had a talent to be a premier quarterback in

976
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 2: this league.

977
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 3: But this would be huge.

978
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 2: If both these quarterbacks, because we've seen quarterbacks get off

979
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:23,000
Speaker 2: the promising starts and then they fade away.

980
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 3: Yes, it's not uncommon.

981
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 2: I'm hoping that this kind of start for both these

982
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:32,160
Speaker 2: quarterbacks will develop them into Hall of Fame caliber quarterbacks

983
00:45:32,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: over the next decade.

984
00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, you know what the crazy part about this

985
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,800
Speaker 3: starts for both of these teams. Again, like I said,

986
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 3: I expected the Bears to be, you know, right in

987
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,759
Speaker 3: the mix of making the playoffs. You know, with all

988
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 3: the talent they had, if Caleb Williams, you know, kind

989
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,520
Speaker 3: of blossom into the player that we thought he would be.

990
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 3: The commander situation though, and seeing that a new head

991
00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 3: coach Dan Quinn coming in, who I know personally from

992
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 3: my time with the Jets's of D line coach. Knowing

993
00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 3: his men, I thought it would take little bit more

994
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 3: time there.

995
00:46:02,040 --> 00:46:04,319
Speaker 2: Well, what about Cliff Kingsbury. That's where I was going.

996
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,520
Speaker 2: You got to give him so much credit with this guy.

997
00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:10,719
Speaker 3: Obviously, we know Cliff is a you know, an offensive guy,

998
00:46:10,800 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 3: but his offense has been kind of gimmicky in the past.

999
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 3: This seems more stable, and it seems like it can give,

1000
00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:19,040
Speaker 3: like it's more West Coast. It's giving him a chance

1001
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 3: to not have to read things all the way down

1002
00:46:22,040 --> 00:46:24,440
Speaker 3: the field and you get those completions, but he can

1003
00:46:24,440 --> 00:46:26,919
Speaker 3: also throw the deep ball and he's just integrated really well.

1004
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 4: Well.

1005
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 2: Again, you can have all kinds of ideas exactly as

1006
00:46:31,560 --> 00:46:36,920
Speaker 2: an offensive coordinator, but if your quarterback can't execute, you know, right,

1007
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,319
Speaker 2: and I've known a lot of offensive coordinators over the

1008
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 2: years that will tell you, Boy, if I could put

1009
00:46:42,640 --> 00:46:47,120
Speaker 2: his brain in his body, it would be a whole

1010
00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 2: different situation. Yeah, you know, you got to be able

1011
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:54,720
Speaker 2: to process information. The two things that again most elite

1012
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:59,840
Speaker 2: quarterbacks have, yes, are the ability to make obviously quickness

1013
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 2: visions and throw the ball accurately.

1014
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,200
Speaker 3: Yes, So if you can do those two.

1015
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 2: Things, then you will be more likely than not a

1016
00:47:07,600 --> 00:47:08,720
Speaker 2: successful quarterback.

1017
00:47:08,760 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 3: If you can't do those two things, then you're Ben Roethlisberger.

1018
00:47:12,719 --> 00:47:16,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, let's let's let's look at at

1019
00:47:16,080 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: Richardson right now. You got a young quarterback who has

1020
00:47:19,680 --> 00:47:23,799
Speaker 2: all the physical tools and he shows flashes. But if

1021
00:47:23,880 --> 00:47:26,920
Speaker 2: you're going to be consistent, you've got you've got to

1022
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:27,920
Speaker 2: throw the ball accurately.

1023
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: Yes, you have to.

1024
00:47:29,520 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 2: And if you can't do that on a consistent basis,

1025
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,840
Speaker 2: then you're just going to be a tease. Like you

1026
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 2: look at the talent.

1027
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 3: He can do it.

1028
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,200
Speaker 2: He can he may process the information. There's a lot

1029
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,719
Speaker 2: of things he can do, but you've got to be

1030
00:47:40,719 --> 00:47:42,120
Speaker 2: able to execute it on the field.

1031
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 3: And I say Ben Roethlisberger not taking anything away from

1032
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,359
Speaker 3: him as plea. You know that, but it's a lot

1033
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 3: of his plays and the stuff that was that was

1034
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:52,239
Speaker 3: memorable about Ben was when things broke down, he was

1035
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 3: able to make the play. He could. He was big

1036
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 3: enough to shrug off defenders and so it was different.

1037
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 3: But exactly what you're saying for NFL quarterback to have

1038
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,680
Speaker 3: prolonged success in history. To be that guy, you got

1039
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,400
Speaker 3: to process information, and you got to know where to

1040
00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 3: go with the football, and you got to be accurate.

1041
00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 3: That's those are the three things that have to happen.

1042
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 2: Look at what they did with Drew Brees in New Orleans. Yes,

1043
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,280
Speaker 2: as his arm was about to fall off, having thrown

1044
00:48:16,320 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 2: a billion passes in college and another billion in the NFL,

1045
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: they just shorten everything up because he could still throw

1046
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,239
Speaker 2: it accurately seventy percent at the end. I mean, he

1047
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 2: was still throwing, but he's not throwing the ball down

1048
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:30,560
Speaker 2: the field, and so you know, you use the tools

1049
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 2: that you have.

1050
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 3: That's why I am not surprised.

1051
00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 2: I made this bold prediction before the season on our

1052
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 2: big list out there that the Denver Broncos to make

1053
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:41,279
Speaker 2: the playoffs this year with bow Nicks.

1054
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:41,879
Speaker 3: Yeah you did.

1055
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,760
Speaker 2: And I said that because I felt confident that Sean

1056
00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,320
Speaker 2: Payton there's a reason he got rid of Russell Wilson.

1057
00:48:48,560 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 2: I mean, if you look at Russell Wilson's numbers, they

1058
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 2: were not terrible last year at all, but that team's

1059
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,440
Speaker 2: defense after having that horrific start. You remember the game

1060
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,279
Speaker 2: at seventy Miami, Really the second half of the year

1061
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 2: is one of the better defenses in the league. But

1062
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:03,960
Speaker 2: he needed a quarterback to do what he wanted the

1063
00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:07,200
Speaker 2: quarterback to do. And I know this about bo Nicks

1064
00:49:07,239 --> 00:49:09,600
Speaker 2: a he had started more Division One games than any

1065
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:11,920
Speaker 2: quarterback in history in his Auburn and Oregon games.

1066
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:12,279
Speaker 3: Yep.

1067
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:14,839
Speaker 2: Two, we can run with the football. He actually can

1068
00:49:14,960 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 2: run with the football, and he completed seventy eight percent

1069
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 2: of his passes last year at Oregon. So again, if

1070
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 2: if he can learn the offense, and look what's happening

1071
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:27,399
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, Denver is in the mix, and

1072
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,600
Speaker 2: you have the right coach that can utilize the quarterback again,

1073
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:32,239
Speaker 2: put him in.

1074
00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:33,840
Speaker 3: A system to succeed.

1075
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:36,360
Speaker 2: Yes, And I got a sense now that Sean Payton

1076
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:39,560
Speaker 2: has found its comfort spot with his young quarterback.

1077
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 3: And it's only going to get better. You think they're

1078
00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 3: going to turn the corner here, huh? In Denver. I'm

1079
00:49:43,520 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 3: very skeptical of Denver, and I want to.

1080
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 2: See they're home against Carolina and if they lose to

1081
00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 2: the Panthers, then I'm in a reneg on that.

1082
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,200
Speaker 3: They better win that one. But the biggest thing with

1083
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:56,320
Speaker 3: Denver for me is Sean Payton. Actually, it's not about

1084
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,359
Speaker 3: the quarterback or the defense. Wuld have never been a shot.

1085
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 3: I never happened. I only say that because he's won

1086
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 3: one super Bowl and he walks around like he's won twenty,

1087
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 3: like that's who he is.

1088
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 2: Well, if you look at his record and the record

1089
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:11,600
Speaker 2: of Mike McCarthy and John Harball, they all have the

1090
00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 2: same record exactly.

1091
00:50:12,760 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're identical.

1092
00:50:13,920 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: They're like the same number of wins, same number of

1093
00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 2: Super Bowls.

1094
00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:18,880
Speaker 3: But they don't walk around like that though, So I

1095
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:20,719
Speaker 3: expect a little bit more from him. So you think

1096
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,799
Speaker 3: those other two guys are very humble, disk, I would

1097
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,960
Speaker 3: say when I seen them from the outside, from the

1098
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 3: outside looking in, I'm not so sure about that. You're

1099
00:50:28,120 --> 00:50:30,759
Speaker 3: not John Harball and Mike McCarthy very well.

1100
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:34,359
Speaker 2: First of all, John Harbaugh eliminated himself when he didn't

1101
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:36,799
Speaker 2: listen to you last year, and that is the championship game.

1102
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 2: When you sold me that the Ravens are ready for

1103
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,800
Speaker 2: this game, and I said, now, they're not going to

1104
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:44,640
Speaker 2: try to have Lamar Jackson match Patrick Mahomes's throw.

1105
00:50:44,480 --> 00:50:45,719
Speaker 3: For throw, are they? Oh?

1106
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:49,320
Speaker 2: No, no, no, now they That was the worst offensive

1107
00:50:49,320 --> 00:50:51,719
Speaker 2: game plan in a game of that magnitude that I

1108
00:50:51,800 --> 00:50:52,680
Speaker 2: had ever seen.

1109
00:50:52,719 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: I didn't want to come in that next day. I

1110
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:56,880
Speaker 3: think we talked like maybe like what I was like,

1111
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,800
Speaker 3: well you you talked to Lamar that week exactly.

1112
00:51:00,120 --> 00:51:01,960
Speaker 2: No, no, No, we're ready to go. We got the

1113
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 2: game plan. We're gonna win this game. It was a

1114
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:05,400
Speaker 2: one score game. What was it?

1115
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:05,600
Speaker 1: Like?

1116
00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:07,759
Speaker 2: I get it, you're down two touchdowns? You got to

1117
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:09,879
Speaker 2: throw the ball. That was never the case in that game.

1118
00:51:10,280 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: Worst game plan ever, John Harby.

1119
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 3: I agree with that, Yeah, for sure. Where's the buck stop?

1120
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 3: All right?

1121
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 2: Speaking of where the buck stops? What's going to happen

1122
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,400
Speaker 2: next for the Dallas Cowboys? They had a bye week.

1123
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:24,279
Speaker 2: Wonder how that went. We're gonna break it down. This

Speaker 3: Mary mac I feel like I'm at my grandmother's house. Steve,

1135
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:55,360
Speaker 3: I know, this is it right here, This is the

1136
00:51:55,440 --> 00:51:56,520
Speaker 3: vibe I think it's on.

1137
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:01,120
Speaker 2: I like when you see your grandmother. This was like

1138
00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:08,160
Speaker 2: when I was college. Yeah, okay, so yeah, exactly.

1139
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 3: All right.

1140
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:16,040
Speaker 2: So the Dallas Cowboys, I mean, it really is stunning

1141
00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 2: how I can destroy teams. H I say that because

1142
00:52:21,040 --> 00:52:23,799
Speaker 2: when we were making our preseason predictions, I knew that

1143
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:27,960
Speaker 2: the Cowboys hadn't done a whole lot during the off season.

1144
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 2: But I have this sense, which was so wrong, that

1145
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 2: maybe this was the year that the football gods would

1146
00:52:36,719 --> 00:52:39,640
Speaker 2: smile on and they give the richest contract effort to

1147
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:44,600
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott, they bring their big guys back, and I

1148
00:52:44,680 --> 00:52:50,560
Speaker 2: just thought, maybe this like a year you don't expect

1149
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 2: it to happen, it's going to happen. And almost from

1150
00:52:54,600 --> 00:52:59,200
Speaker 2: the get go it has been a catastrophe. And the

1151
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,239
Speaker 2: problem with the cow is very simple. They have the

1152
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 2: worst run defense in the league and they have no

1153
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 2: running game on offense. Yep, that's a back. If you

1154
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,760
Speaker 2: can't run the ball and you can't stop the run,

1155
00:53:13,719 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 2: it is very hard to win games. Mike McCarthy, I'm

1156
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,280
Speaker 2: not surprised he's not fighting, He's he's a lame duck coach.

1157
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:24,200
Speaker 2: He's I mean, he's gonna he's gonna walk at the

1158
00:53:24,280 --> 00:53:27,600
Speaker 2: end of the year anyway. Uh So there's no reason

1159
00:53:27,600 --> 00:53:31,440
Speaker 2: to really fire him. But let's let's talk. I mean,

1160
00:53:31,440 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: they're it's unbelievable. As bad as they've been, they're going

1161
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 2: against a forty nine ers team that actually has a

1162
00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 2: worse record. Yes, so how's this going to play out

1163
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,080
Speaker 2: this week? Do you think between the Cowboys and the

1164
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:45,720
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, two teams that are on everyone's radar,

1165
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:47,919
Speaker 2: and yet they're combined six and seven this year.

1166
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,839
Speaker 3: If this was the nineties, I'd be really excited. Number one,

1167
00:53:50,960 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 3: that would be uh the number versus yard exactly. But

1168
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 3: right now, in the current status of where we stand,

1169
00:53:57,520 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 3: both teams have been a disappointment. But I and more

1170
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 3: disappointed in the forty nine ers. But I'll get on

1171
00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:05,719
Speaker 3: them later. But as far as Dallas goes, until they

1172
00:54:05,800 --> 00:54:08,279
Speaker 3: kind of until they must up some type of running game,

1173
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:10,920
Speaker 3: they're not going to be successful. If they can somehow

1174
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 3: rejuvenate Dalvin Cook and get him to get some some

1175
00:54:14,920 --> 00:54:18,279
Speaker 3: yards in there to aid Dak Prescott. They're thinking and

1176
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 3: bringing zeke back. I have no idea. We saw him

1177
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:25,520
Speaker 3: in New England. We knew he was done. I mean

1178
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:29,320
Speaker 3: nostalgia side, that's all that could really be the situation.

1179
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:33,239
Speaker 3: I know he's heard, but yeah, Pollard, no Pollard, he's

1180
00:54:33,280 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 3: getting traded, He's going away.

1181
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,440
Speaker 2: So I mean they, I mean they literally left themselves

1182
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 2: without a running game.

1183
00:54:38,200 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 3: Without a running game. And you bring in, like I said,

1184
00:54:39,880 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 3: all these guys who are pretty much I guess past

1185
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:45,960
Speaker 3: their primes. Dalvin Cook hasn't even been active, so at

1186
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 3: least we will get a chance to see that. But

1187
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:49,960
Speaker 3: right now, man, these teams are bad. And we've seen

1188
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 3: it with Dak Prescott. When you put too much on

1189
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,120
Speaker 3: this plate, he doesn't succeed. He needs balance.

1190
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 2: Well, everyone said they had no choice. Yeah, in terms

1191
00:55:00,680 --> 00:55:03,319
Speaker 2: of the Dak Prescott situation to have to pay him

1192
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:04,000
Speaker 2: that money.

1193
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 3: Like, what alternative do you have?

1194
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 2: We talked about this with Cleveland earlier, right we were

1195
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:17,919
Speaker 2: talking to Adam Kaplan. What's Cleveland's next move? Eat that contract?

1196
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:21,120
Speaker 2: But what Denver did with Russell Wilson, Eat that contract?

1197
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,760
Speaker 2: These are billionaire owners, so if you're eating fifty sixty

1198
00:55:24,960 --> 00:55:29,239
Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars, you can do it if it's not.

1199
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 3: Working for you.

1200
00:55:30,560 --> 00:55:33,400
Speaker 2: I mean, when you look at Dak Prescott and you

1201
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: know his rookie season was one of the most remarkable

1202
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 2: rookie years quarterback ever. But he also had another rookie

1203
00:55:39,920 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 2: named Zeke Elliott who was leading the league in rushing.

1204
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 3: That's the point.

1205
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 2: And they had the premier offensive line in the league

1206
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:47,600
Speaker 2: at the time. Yes, I did, And so there was

1207
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,040
Speaker 2: a lot that goes into a rookie quarterback having that

1208
00:55:51,320 --> 00:55:55,719
Speaker 2: level of success. I like Dak Prescott, but he's not

1209
00:55:56,040 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 2: a guy that should be in the conversation with the elast.

1210
00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:02,880
Speaker 2: He was second in the MVP voting last year.

1211
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:03,359
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1212
00:56:03,800 --> 00:56:07,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've lost after winning sixteen straight home games over

1213
00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: the last two years. If you include that embarrassing home

1214
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 2: loss of the Packers, that's four straight home losses.

1215
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. And who on that team, on that offense in particular,

1216
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: can you trust?

1217
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:18,640
Speaker 6: I don't know.

1218
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 3: You paid Cede Lamb a lot of money and who

1219
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 3: else other playmakers on that offense? Nobody else did. It's

1220
00:56:24,719 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 3: all you put all your eggs in the deck Prescott basket,

1221
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 3: and this is what you're gonna get if he has

1222
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,840
Speaker 3: no weapons around them either, it's a tough situation for Dallas,

1223
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:34,520
Speaker 3: all right. So for the forty nine ers, he's a

1224
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:35,440
Speaker 3: panic time for the four.

1225
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:37,160
Speaker 2: Look at the start of the year with injuries all

1226
00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,840
Speaker 2: over the place, right, yes, But all of a sudden,

1227
00:56:39,880 --> 00:56:45,320
Speaker 2: brock Party is looking mortal average. All of a sudden,

1228
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,240
Speaker 2: you know, he's starting to look very like you say, average, small,

1229
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,319
Speaker 2: which he is physically, and when he doesn't have his

1230
00:56:55,360 --> 00:57:01,520
Speaker 2: full repertoire of weapons clicking the sudden, he's forcing things

1231
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:05,879
Speaker 2: and his physical limits that were responsible for him being

1232
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:08,400
Speaker 2: the last pick in the draft are exposed.

1233
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:12,040
Speaker 3: And now they have enough tape on the guy. Right,

1234
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:14,160
Speaker 3: we know his tendencies, we know what they want to

1235
00:57:14,200 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 3: do with him. He is a short, stature quarterback. If

1236
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 3: you watch a lot of the games, he gets so

1237
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,960
Speaker 3: many balls batted at the line because of that. And

1238
00:57:24,040 --> 00:57:27,640
Speaker 3: also worklow when you're asked and you have to start

1239
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 3: pressing to make plays and do things outside of what

1240
00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:33,240
Speaker 3: you do best. This is what's going to happen. You're

1241
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 3: not gonna be successful. And so we always want to

1242
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 3: give the quarterbacks the praise when it's going great and

1243
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,400
Speaker 3: it looks beautiful, and we're gonna give them the failure

1244
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,760
Speaker 3: in the blame when it's bad as well, there's no

1245
00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 3: in between. And now he's on the other end of

1246
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,720
Speaker 3: that spectrum now where the praise is starting to fade.

1247
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,400
Speaker 3: And now we're seeing the guy who, like you said,

1248
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 3: was the last pick in the draft, and you kind

1249
00:57:53,400 --> 00:57:54,800
Speaker 3: of see why he was in that position.

1250
00:57:55,400 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahan, you were talking earlier about Sean Payton and egos. Yeah, yeah,

1251
00:58:00,960 --> 00:58:02,720
Speaker 2: Kyle Shannan is one of those ego guys.

1252
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:04,160
Speaker 3: He does that.

1253
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 2: He is reinvented the wheel.

1254
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,520
Speaker 3: Yep, none of those offensive savants.

1255
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 2: Yes you, I mean, no better case than last year,

1256
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,360
Speaker 2: right you took a quarterback that was the last pick

1257
00:58:15,400 --> 00:58:17,680
Speaker 2: of the draft and made it to the Super Bowl

1258
00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:20,840
Speaker 2: overtime in the Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean

1259
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 2: we know it's but but is this something around the

1260
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 2: league right now? As a former defensive player where we're

1261
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:31,440
Speaker 2: seeing not all, but some of these offenses not clicking

1262
00:58:31,600 --> 00:58:33,600
Speaker 2: like we saw over the last couple of years.

1263
00:58:33,600 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 3: Our defense is catching up. I don't think defenses are

1264
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 3: catching up, but I think what defenses are doing to

1265
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:41,800
Speaker 3: offenses right now, they're making them go the long way.

1266
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,160
Speaker 3: A lot of two high safeties, a lot of softer,

1267
00:58:45,560 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 3: softer defenses. They're they're forcing teams to beat them running

1268
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,240
Speaker 3: and actually executing, and a lot of offenses can't execute

1269
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 3: well enough to drive the ball down the field in

1270
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 3: pos Now.

1271
00:58:54,880 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 2: Why we're seeing more running of the football this year

1272
00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 2: because defenses are allowing them to run the all.

1273
00:58:59,560 --> 00:59:04,280
Speaker 3: Yes, that's when you don't when you understand what defenses

1274
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,640
Speaker 3: and what offenses are trying to do, and you understand

1275
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 3: their strengths and weaknesses. The last couple years has been

1276
00:59:09,560 --> 00:59:12,920
Speaker 3: explosive offenses, obviously, and the game is kind of catered

1277
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 3: to that. But now the defenses are like, all right,

1278
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 3: we're going to allow you to be have to be patient,

1279
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:22,160
Speaker 3: and a lot of these offensive coordinators and offensive players

1280
00:59:22,160 --> 00:59:24,200
Speaker 3: aren't patient enough. They want to make the big plays.

1281
00:59:24,240 --> 00:59:28,560
Speaker 3: We live in a splashy era of everything, and the

1282
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 3: big plays are the players that make it on social media,

1283
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:31,439
Speaker 3: not running the ball.

1284
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 2: What do you make of the Mahomes situation where over

1285
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,440
Speaker 2: the last what is it now, eleven games, he has

1286
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 2: something like, well, this year he has six touchdowns and

1287
00:59:39,640 --> 00:59:43,439
Speaker 2: eight picks. Right, he's basically like twentieth in the league

1288
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:48,600
Speaker 2: in passing and they're undefeated. Yep, these stats and this

1289
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 2: really goes back to last year's regular season where he actually,

1290
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:55,919
Speaker 2: over the last eleven games has thrown more interceptions and touchdowns. Right,

1291
00:59:55,960 --> 00:59:59,560
Speaker 2: and they have a missed a beat. He doesn't seem

1292
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,440
Speaker 2: bothered by that. Guy's all about winning and he can

1293
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:04,040
Speaker 2: do it with his Laser's a lot of ways he

1294
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:07,080
Speaker 2: can do it. Is that fixable though? That offense? Are

1295
01:00:07,080 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 2: we ever going to see the Chiefs anywhere near what

1296
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 2: we saw just a few years ago when they had

1297
01:00:13,840 --> 01:00:16,720
Speaker 2: one of the most prolific passing attacks we've seen in

1298
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: the NFL.

1299
01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 3: It won't happen until they get better players. They got

1300
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,240
Speaker 3: Hollywood Brown and he can't stay he can't stay healthy.

1301
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 3: The other one that just got hurt, the other receiver,

1302
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 3: Rashid Right, yes he gets hurt. Their big play guy

1303
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 3: to the Pendabale.

1304
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: So unbelievable, that play, right, Fluke play.

1305
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,880
Speaker 3: But yeah, Travis Kelsey is a show of himself. So

1306
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:41,760
Speaker 3: they don't have weapons and they want we've seen them.

1307
01:00:41,760 --> 01:00:43,520
Speaker 3: We've seen him winning last year with this. I mean

1308
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:44,480
Speaker 3: the weapons were.

1309
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:46,080
Speaker 2: How about Kareem Hunts come back?

1310
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:48,640
Speaker 3: He's playing well, He's playing well, but that's the thing

1311
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,880
Speaker 3: and what what I just say, like but they know

1312
01:00:50,920 --> 01:00:52,920
Speaker 3: how to win games. They know how to win it.

1313
01:00:52,960 --> 01:00:56,400
Speaker 3: We have to give Andy Reid credit. Man, we don't

1314
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 3: talk about how good a coach he is. He didn't

1315
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:58,840
Speaker 3: understand this.

1316
01:00:58,840 --> 01:01:01,200
Speaker 2: This is such a big part of the NFL.

1317
01:01:01,720 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 3: I mean, a bounce here, a bounced there.

1318
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 2: When you look at the end of the year, there's

1319
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:07,440
Speaker 2: not a lot of difference between ten and seven and

1320
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: seven and ten. No, you know, a few bounces, a

1321
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,200
Speaker 2: few plays turns a seven and ten team also ran

1322
01:01:13,560 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 2: into a ten and seven playoff team. But some teams,

1323
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 2: i mean New England did this for years. Obviously, they

1324
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 2: didn't always have their a game, and when they played bad,

1325
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 2: they somehow just won games exactly.

1326
01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,120
Speaker 3: And you know, the crazy part about what you said

1327
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: about the Patriots is exactly that, Like there are moments

1328
01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 3: when they were super mortal. They'll be down seventeen to seven,

1329
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 3: it'll be fifty eight seconds left at halftime, they'll find

1330
01:01:41,640 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 3: the way to score a touchdown. Now it's a three

1331
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:44,920
Speaker 3: point game as well, Hail.

1332
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 2: Mary's with the pass interference calls, it's just weird. Yeah, yeah,

1333
01:01:49,080 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 2: that's that's where the Chiefs are right now. They have

1334
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:55,040
Speaker 2: learned the secret that the only thing that matters. There

1335
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 2: are no style points in the NFL. You just got

1336
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,400
Speaker 2: to get the W and they're proven it. There is

1337
01:02:00,440 --> 01:02:05,040
Speaker 2: the last remaining undefeated team. All right, let's find out

1338
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:08,040
Speaker 2: what's trending right now. Man that wears many hats doing

1339
01:02:08,080 --> 01:02:11,200
Speaker 2: a lot of things, and just once we got a

1340
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,440
Speaker 2: chance to see him again here the great Nick Cope.

1341
01:02:13,480 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 6: Oh well, thank you so much, Steve.

1342
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:18,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, we got a Vanderbilts trying to make this interesting late,

1343
01:02:18,840 --> 01:02:20,919
Speaker 7: but it looks like they're gonna run out of time.

1344
01:02:21,040 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 7: The number twenty five Commodores down ten to number five

1345
01:02:24,240 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 7: Texas twenty seven to seventeen, only a minute left in

1346
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:30,840
Speaker 7: this one. Vanderbilt's gout the ball and plus territory, but

1347
01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 7: facing third and ten here coming uh. Number six Miami

1348
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,960
Speaker 7: has just kicked off in the last twenty minutes against

1349
01:02:38,000 --> 01:02:40,960
Speaker 7: Florida State and the Canes are already up seven to nothing.

1350
01:02:41,800 --> 01:02:44,080
Speaker 7: I couldn't believe. I mean, I'm not surprised, but still

1351
01:02:44,080 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 7: like seeing Florida State at one and six just boggles

1352
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:47,439
Speaker 7: the mind.

1353
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 2: I mean, all the controversy of a year ago thirteen

1354
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:52,760
Speaker 2: to zero left out of the playoff, and then of

1355
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,880
Speaker 2: course all their players sat what was it, sixty six

1356
01:02:55,960 --> 01:02:59,600
Speaker 2: to three they lost to Georgia boat race, I mean

1357
01:03:00,240 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: and now one instan it's like it broke the program.

1358
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,520
Speaker 6: It did that whole the whole thing with the CFP.

1359
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 2: Ooh. It had to because there's no way this team

1360
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,160
Speaker 2: should be sitting at one and six.

1361
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 3: Right, I mean their preseason what top five or ten?

1362
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 6: They were in the top ten up ten they were ten.

01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 7: They have not scored twenty points this year in the

1364
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:24,560
Speaker 7: continental United States. They got twenty in that opening loss

1393
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 7: The ReBs keep themselves alive for the college football Playoff,

1394
01:04:49,360 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 7: and number twelve Notre Dame throttled number twenty four and

1395
01:04:52,120 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 7: previously unbeaten Navy fifty one to fourteen the final from

1396
01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:58,800
Speaker 7: the Meadowlands. It's the largest ranked win for the Irish

1397
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 7: since nineteen ninety. By the way, Vanderbilt did punch it in,

1398
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 7: so they were within three of Texas twenty seven to

1399
01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,920
Speaker 7: twenty four forty six seconds of play. So on on

1400
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:12,040
Speaker 7: side kick upcoming couple of notes in the NFL some formalities,

1401
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 7: but the Dolphins officially activated to a tongue of Iiloa.

1402
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 7: Jets activated pass rusher Hassan Reddick commander's QB Jayden Daniels

1403
01:05:19,240 --> 01:05:21,920
Speaker 7: would be a game time decision. Cowboys plan to activate

1404
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:25,160
Speaker 7: Dalvin Cook, the running back for tomorrow's game against the Niners.

1405
01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,080
Speaker 7: ESPN says the Rams are open to trading former All

1406
01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,439
Speaker 7: Pro corner Tredavius White. He's been inactive the last couple

1407
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 7: of games for LA and Game two of the World

1408
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 7: Series coming up in just about a half an hour.

1409
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:39,720
Speaker 7: On a Fox Yoshinobu Yamamotos starting for the Dodgers and

1410
01:05:39,800 --> 01:05:43,480
Speaker 7: Carlos Rodon for the Yankees. Stephen Kerrey back to you.

1411
01:05:43,600 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 2: I think Monzi is in the dugout. Actually, she has

1412
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:48,080
Speaker 2: the best seats in the house. Yes, really, well, you

1413
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: know she's been doing tours of Dodgers stating for a

1414
01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 2: long time.

1415
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:52,960
Speaker 3: Very excited.

1416
01:05:53,160 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 6: I would hope they would take care of her.

1417
01:05:54,920 --> 01:05:55,600
Speaker 3: I'm sure they did.

1418
01:05:55,720 --> 01:06:00,000
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't they, Monty Belanos obviously. In the meantime, it's

1419
01:06:00,080 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 2: great to have Kerrie Rhodes here once again. We're live

1420
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 2: from the ti iraq dot com studios. Nick Nick was

1421
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:12,280
Speaker 2: mentioning the Rams. If you watch that Thursday night game, boy,

1422
01:06:12,320 --> 01:06:14,240
Speaker 2: what a difference when you got Cooper Cup and Poka

1423
01:06:14,320 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 2: Nakoua back. That whole offense looks completely different. Staffer through

1424
01:06:19,080 --> 01:06:22,640
Speaker 2: four touchdown passes, Kyra Williams almost had one hundred yards rushing.

1425
01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,760
Speaker 2: Now looks like the offense we saw a year ago.

1426
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:31,480
Speaker 2: And because the NFC West has been so bad, the

1427
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:34,000
Speaker 2: Rams sitting at one and four looked like they were done.

1428
01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 2: Now at three and four they're tied at least in

1429
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:41,080
Speaker 2: the moment with the forty nine Ers. Sean McVay is

1430
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:41,960
Speaker 2: a really good coach.

1431
01:06:42,040 --> 01:06:42,520
Speaker 3: Yes he is.

1432
01:06:42,880 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 2: He's a really good coach. And now that he's got

1433
01:06:45,720 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: his weapons back, is it conceivable that the Rams could

1434
01:06:50,640 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 2: actually win the NFC West this year?

1435
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:58,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely. They were my sleeper team in this year

1436
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 3: to I mean to make the playoffs and possibly make

1437
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:04,840
Speaker 3: a run one and four. That prediction doesn't look good.

1438
01:07:04,880 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 3: But right now they're healthy again. I mean just a

1439
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 3: week ago they were talking about trading Cooper Cup to

1440
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 3: other teams, right, and so now let me ask you this.

1441
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm watching that game against Minnesota. It was

1442
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 2: a rough spot for the Vikings. You're on a short week,

1443
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:21,400
Speaker 2: you're on the road, coming off obviously a tough loss

1444
01:07:21,440 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: against the Lions. They looked a little out of sorts.

1445
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: But taking nothing away from the Rams. Obviously the Ram offensives.

1446
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 2: But I'm watching Staffer right now. He's looking Pooka Nakua first.

1447
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's number one.

1448
01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: He's there one, not Cooper Cup. So if you are

1449
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,840
Speaker 2: the Rams, would you still float now the Cooper Cup

1450
01:07:42,880 --> 01:07:45,280
Speaker 2: is healthy again? He did have a touchdown the game.

1451
01:07:45,680 --> 01:07:48,280
Speaker 2: You still float him out there if the price is right?

1452
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 2: Or do you just hold on to him?

1453
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 3: I don't know what that price being right will look like.

1454
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:55,600
Speaker 3: I mean, I haven't looked at the Rams in detail

1455
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:58,880
Speaker 3: to know what they need to upgrade on, but I

1456
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 3: know that in the slot it's unguardable, So I wouldn't

1457
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 3: give rid of that guy at all. All Right, Yeah,

1458
01:08:05,320 --> 01:08:07,720
Speaker 3: so Cooper Cub is still he's still unguardable in the

1459
01:08:07,760 --> 01:08:11,400
Speaker 3: slot and let and you're gonna have to rotate if

1460
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 3: if you go zone and you have a backer there options,

1461
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,080
Speaker 3: you gotta have the safety there. If you go Nickel

1462
01:08:16,120 --> 01:08:18,679
Speaker 3: one on one, he's abusing that with that two way

1463
01:08:18,680 --> 01:08:20,880
Speaker 3: going at option route. So there's still gonna have to

1464
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 3: be a bracket situation that happens, and so that opens

1465
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:24,840
Speaker 3: it up for their number one guy, Pooka.

1466
01:08:24,960 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 2: I mean, when you think about it, he had a

1467
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:29,320
Speaker 2: few years ago one of the five greatest receiving years

1468
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 2: in history. Yes, led the league in receptions, yards, touchdown

1469
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:34,160
Speaker 2: to the Crown and Super Bowl MVP.

1470
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:37,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, all in the same year. He's he's unbelievable, to

1471
01:08:37,920 --> 01:08:41,280
Speaker 3: be honest, I mean, it's here him. It's just you

1472
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:44,000
Speaker 3: have that. It's you have to know in the slot,

1473
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,400
Speaker 3: it's not about it's not even about skill. It's about

1474
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:51,600
Speaker 3: the having the ability to change pace. And so he

1475
01:08:51,680 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 3: has pace in this game. He's never in a rush.

1476
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,880
Speaker 3: He knows where he's going, he knows what the defense

1477
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,160
Speaker 3: is trying to do to him. And so it's just

1478
01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:01,559
Speaker 3: like a quarterback. Right backlas successful. They have guys that

1479
01:09:01,600 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 3: they can count on to relieve them of pressure. Right,

1480
01:09:05,240 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 3: So if I do not have a pressure reliever. I'm

1481
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,759
Speaker 3: looking his way first.

1482
01:09:08,960 --> 01:09:12,920
Speaker 2: I'm always curious about this and obviously having covered so

1483
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,599
Speaker 2: many big name receivers over the course of your career.

1484
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 2: During the eighties, one of the top receivers in football

1485
01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 2: was Steve Largent of the Seattle Seahawks first ballot Hall

1486
01:09:21,600 --> 01:09:24,200
Speaker 2: of Famer finished his career as the all time leading receiver.

1487
01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,680
Speaker 2: And Lester Hayes my dear friend who used to have

1488
01:09:28,720 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 2: that task of covering large and I said, why why

1489
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 2: is he so difficult? Less I would just say, you

1490
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 2: have to understand this because they ran the ball quite

1491
01:09:38,280 --> 01:09:41,160
Speaker 2: a bit. It didn't matter what the play was. He

1492
01:09:41,240 --> 01:09:44,719
Speaker 2: ran out a full pattern on every play, every play,

1493
01:09:44,920 --> 01:09:48,240
Speaker 2: every single it could be a straight off tackle play.

1494
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:54,920
Speaker 2: I'm focused on him and he's running a full route. Yeah, yeah,

1495
01:09:54,960 --> 01:10:00,960
Speaker 2: every play. Yeah, that's what drove him freaking nuts. I mean,

1496
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:03,680
Speaker 2: obviously have tremendous hands, no gloves. In those days, you

1497
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:09,639
Speaker 2: never dropped anything but detailed, detailed detail where you as

1498
01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:10,680
Speaker 2: a defender.

1499
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:12,000
Speaker 3: You had to watch him.

1500
01:10:12,040 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: You got to honor it, and he would work you

1501
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:15,599
Speaker 2: to a frassle.

1502
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 3: Yeah you hate those guys. Oh, but that's so many

1503
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:19,880
Speaker 3: scale talented guys. You hate the guys they work hard

1504
01:10:19,960 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 3: and do it consistently every single place. Like Steve slow down, man, please,

1505
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 3: you're not guessing the ball.

1506
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,839
Speaker 2: They had a quarterback sneak and you're running a full pattern.

1507
01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 4: Stop it.

1508
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:34,080
Speaker 3: That's what make the grades great, right, Jerry Rice in practice,

1509
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,599
Speaker 3: way in practice, well, he every time he caught the ball,

1510
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:37,680
Speaker 3: he scored. It starts down right.

1511
01:10:37,760 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 2: My favorite Jerry Rice story was years actually after he retired.

1512
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 2: I was up in Lake Tahoe for that celebrity golf tournament.

1513
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Used to cover that for many many years, and I'm

1514
01:10:47,200 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 2: in my hotel room and I'm about to walk out

1515
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 2: the door of my hotel room and I hear someone

1516
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 2: running down the hallway. I get a frantic you hear

1517
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,120
Speaker 2: something like running, like like something's happening in the hallway.

1518
01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:01,439
Speaker 2: I opened the door. I look down at the end

1519
01:11:01,439 --> 01:11:02,719
Speaker 2: of the hall and it's Jerry Rice.

1520
01:11:03,240 --> 01:11:03,760
Speaker 3: What is he done?

1521
01:11:03,840 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, he's running sprints in the hallway. He's not

1522
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:08,440
Speaker 2: even playing anymore.

1523
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,800
Speaker 3: He was the most welcome distioninged athlete at that time.

1524
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 3: He was unstoppable. He was a guy that did it.

1525
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:20,920
Speaker 2: Every time, every time. Man, Its just that consistency. It's

1526
01:11:21,800 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 2: young guys have to understand that it's just not about talent.

1527
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 2: It's about the work you put in, and it really is.

1528
01:11:27,240 --> 01:11:29,000
Speaker 2: Let me ask you one other thing. Since I'm on

1529
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,400
Speaker 2: the I got my mindset on wide receivers right now.

1530
01:11:31,800 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 2: So our dear friend Tjhuschmann zat he said something that's

1531
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:41,240
Speaker 2: always stuck with me about successful wide receivers. They say,

1532
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 2: you know, you get so caught up.

1533
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:43,559
Speaker 3: In the forty times.

1534
01:11:43,960 --> 01:11:48,520
Speaker 2: He goes, It's not how fast you run, it's how fast.

1535
01:11:48,200 --> 01:11:50,120
Speaker 3: You can stop in and out of your brakes.

1536
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: That's what the key is because you got to get separations.

1537
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,240
Speaker 2: So it's not how fast you run, No, it's how

1538
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:58,479
Speaker 2: fast you can stop.

1539
01:11:58,680 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 3: And what did I just say about Cooper? Yeah, it's

1540
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:05,759
Speaker 3: not about his skiol it's about his pace start stop.

1541
01:12:06,680 --> 01:12:08,720
Speaker 3: He has a two way go in that slot. And

1542
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 3: this is.

1543
01:12:09,080 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 2: Unstoppable, unbelievable stuff.

1544
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:11,200
Speaker 4: All right.

1545
01:12:11,240 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 2: Coming up on the other side, there's another team, actually

1546
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 2: one of the more intriguing matchups in the NFL this

1547
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:20,679
Speaker 2: week that may be flying under the radar, but shouldn't.

1548
01:12:20,720 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 2: We'll tell you what it is. This is Fox Football Saturday. Well,

1549
01:12:24,920 --> 01:12:27,680
Speaker 2: Steve Harbin and Carrie Rhodes are not like you.

1550
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:29,840
Speaker 4: We know that.

1551
01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 2: Once again, this is Fox Football Saturday. We are live

1552
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 2: from the ti iraq dot Com studios. Want to thank

1553
01:12:37,320 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 2: our crew today, Nick Cope. It's good to see Nick

1554
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 2: hanging out here today. Got Mary Mac putting the tunes

1555
01:12:46,040 --> 01:12:50,240
Speaker 2: on the ones and twos. She knows how to do that. Yeah,

1556
01:12:50,360 --> 01:12:54,080
Speaker 2: once in a while, should play something, I know, but

1557
01:12:54,240 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 2: I really try to.

1558
01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:56,759
Speaker 3: I know she does. She knows.

1559
01:12:57,720 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: She actually asked me a couple of music questions once.

1560
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:03,800
Speaker 2: She was stunned that I actually knew anything about He.

1561
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,880
Speaker 3: Knew about the vm A, you know Kanye and t Is.

1562
01:13:06,960 --> 01:13:09,000
Speaker 3: I did that. I did. I did know that one.

1563
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:09,960
Speaker 3: I did know that.

1564
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:14,160
Speaker 2: And then of course Patrick, we did not do picks

1565
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:17,000
Speaker 2: for games this week, but I did not. However, I

1566
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:18,760
Speaker 2: would like the whole world to know how I did

1567
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 2: last week. I'll tell you what, Steve, you went up

1568
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 2: five points to Moncey's two.

1569
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 3: You're leading by three right now. My front like of that.

1570
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 3: So she's going to return to that.

1571
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,639
Speaker 2: I did one to see. Here's the thing, even if

1572
01:13:32,680 --> 01:13:34,679
Speaker 2: you had had a perfect week, I would have closed

1573
01:13:34,680 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: the gap on your stand See, I would question you

1574
01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: know you being here. I know I don't want to

1575
01:13:38,800 --> 01:13:41,680
Speaker 2: do that. I want to straight up competition with me

1576
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,680
Speaker 2: and Moncey out there. So great job everyone, of course,

1577
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:47,880
Speaker 2: getting ready for watching Game two of the World Series

1578
01:13:47,920 --> 01:13:50,719
Speaker 2: between the Dodgers and the Yankees. I mean Dodgers the Yankees.

1579
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's what it's.

1580
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 3: All about, rut.

1581
01:13:53,600 --> 01:13:56,639
Speaker 2: I mean, no two teams have played a more World

1582
01:13:56,680 --> 01:13:59,840
Speaker 2: Series against each other, No two teams have played in

1583
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 2: more World series period. The Yankees obviously have been in

1584
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 2: the most. The Dodgers have been in the second most. However,

1585
01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:07,760
Speaker 2: they don't have the second most wins. They do not,

1586
01:14:07,840 --> 01:14:10,360
Speaker 2: that would be the Cardinals. Dodgers lost a lot of

1587
01:14:10,400 --> 01:14:12,479
Speaker 2: World Series because well they lost a lot of World

1588
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 2: Series to the Yankees. Here's a little note. The Dodgers

1589
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:23,519
Speaker 2: have won seven World Series all time, but only once

1590
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 2: have they clinched the World Series win at home, and

1591
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:30,720
Speaker 2: that was in nineteen sixty three when they actually swept

1592
01:14:31,320 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 2: the New York Yankees in the World Series. Sandy Kofax,

1593
01:14:34,479 --> 01:14:37,400
Speaker 2: not too bad, that's right, those guys. That's the only

1594
01:14:37,479 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 2: time that the Dodgers actually clinched the World Series at home.

1595
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:45,000
Speaker 2: So when you look at this series before I get

1596
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 2: to this NFL game, I want to talk to I

1597
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:52,599
Speaker 2: know you're rooting for the Yankees, but how many games

1598
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 2: are we looking at? You think they it goes six

1599
01:14:55,080 --> 01:14:59,040
Speaker 2: or seven, that they clinch it at Dodgers Stadium because

1600
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: that's where the games will be two three to two series. Yeah, yeah,

1601
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:04,120
Speaker 2: so it's a two three to two series. So you

1602
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 2: got game two today, the day off, three games at

1603
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:09,840
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium, day off, two games at Dodger State.

1604
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:12,719
Speaker 3: Well before the series started, I say Yankees in six,

1605
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,040
Speaker 3: So I guess that means they're gonna clinch here in LA.

1606
01:15:15,080 --> 01:15:16,679
Speaker 3: That'll be fun because I'll be able to go down

1607
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 3: there and kind of Marty game. Will you be at

1608
01:15:19,040 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 3: that game? The tickets are pretty high?

1609
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 2: Uh now I heard yesterday this. This seems unreal to me,

1610
01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 2: but some VIP parking parking part of the game was

1611
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,400
Speaker 2: going for six thousand dollars to risk of my blood,

1612
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,720
Speaker 2: not the tickets parking.

1613
01:15:41,479 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 3: Where is the VIP parking?

1614
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 2: I have no idea, but I here's the thing. Here's

1615
01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 2: the here, here's the clue. If you know, I've only

1616
01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,599
Speaker 2: been to Dodger Stadium a million times. But the thing

1617
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:53,960
Speaker 2: about it is getting out of Dodger Stadium is bad.

1618
01:15:54,080 --> 01:15:54,559
Speaker 3: It's tough.

1619
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 2: And and so if you got one of those VIP

1620
01:15:57,120 --> 01:16:01,520
Speaker 2: parkings where you just walk right in your last going out.

1621
01:16:01,680 --> 01:16:02,800
Speaker 3: You're gonna be there all night.

1622
01:16:04,360 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 2: It's VIP going in, but ain't no VIP coming out.

1623
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 3: Well, if that's the day they clinched, and I'll be fine.

1624
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:12,120
Speaker 3: I can stay and hang out for a long time. Steve,

1625
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 3: all right, I.

1626
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:14,679
Speaker 2: Want to know I was waiting on this game because

1627
01:16:14,680 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 2: we have mentioned this game throughout the show. But it's

1628
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,519
Speaker 2: one of the more interesting games. And by the way,

1629
01:16:19,640 --> 01:16:22,479
Speaker 2: tomorrow Red Zone Radio, Rich and I will get started

1630
01:16:23,040 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 2: ten on the West coast, one o'clock on the East coast.

1631
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,200
Speaker 2: After we do four hours than Dan and Carrie will

1632
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,559
Speaker 2: have more Red Zone Radio for three hours after that. Now,

1633
01:16:31,600 --> 01:16:34,720
Speaker 2: one of the games we get on early tomorrow. By

1634
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:36,559
Speaker 2: the way, we got eight games kicking off. You got

1635
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 2: five in the afternoons. We both have loaded schedules. Eagles

1636
01:16:40,520 --> 01:16:44,280
Speaker 2: at the Bengals. So the Eagles, for all that they

1637
01:16:44,360 --> 01:16:48,800
Speaker 2: have not looked right now for yes, a while, a

1638
01:16:48,840 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 2: long time, but they're still sitting there at four and

1639
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 2: two right now, there are a half game behind the

1640
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: Commanders in the NFC East, The Giants are worse than

1641
01:16:57,160 --> 01:16:58,559
Speaker 2: we even thought they were going to be, and the

1642
01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 2: Cowboys are just trying to find their way. And then

1643
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,719
Speaker 2: you have the Bengals, who inexplicably open their season losing

1644
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:08,439
Speaker 2: it home to the Patriots, who haven't won since. But

1645
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,559
Speaker 2: now Joe Burrow's played well all season long, and now

1646
01:17:11,560 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, the Bengals are beginning to find

1647
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:19,240
Speaker 2: their way. Eagles at the Bengals. How you can look

1648
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,200
Speaker 2: at that game tomorrow?

1649
01:17:20,320 --> 01:17:22,599
Speaker 3: I look at it in the way that what you're

1650
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 3: just alluding to. Burrows has been great, The offense has

1651
01:17:27,800 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 3: been great outside of Game one, defense is starting to

1652
01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:35,200
Speaker 3: catch up. The Eagles. They're not a good team, but

1653
01:17:35,240 --> 01:17:35,879
Speaker 3: the records.

1654
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 2: One has played well.

1655
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,559
Speaker 3: He has played well, but that team isn't right either.

1656
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 3: They keep winning inexplicably, never mean that four and two,

1657
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 3: But I don't see them winning this game in Cincinnati.

1658
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 3: Cincinnati is starting to get it figured out, and I

1659
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,000
Speaker 3: think they will make a run at the playoffs here.

1660
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:54,360
Speaker 2: All right, So you look at that division, Yeah, that's

1661
01:17:54,400 --> 01:17:57,160
Speaker 2: another interesting division, right. You got the Ravens, who I

1662
01:17:57,160 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 2: think were all but you know, Cleveland of disaster. That's

1663
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:05,799
Speaker 2: mine and then you get the overchiever Steelers. Mike Tomlin

1664
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:09,559
Speaker 2: just right figures out a way. What did you think

1665
01:18:09,560 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 2: of Russell Wilson's debut last.

1666
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:14,920
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson was great, and I've been openly stating that

1667
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:16,960
Speaker 3: he said, never played this season. This should be Justin

1668
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:20,360
Speaker 3: Field's job. And you know that's knowing the pulse of

1669
01:18:20,360 --> 01:18:23,800
Speaker 3: your team. Mike Tomlin's great at that. He put the

1670
01:18:23,800 --> 01:18:25,719
Speaker 3: guy in and he goes out there and he delivers,

1671
01:18:25,720 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 3: and so never questioned. Mike Tomlin's what I'm figuring out right.

1672
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:29,880
Speaker 3: He's a Hall of Fame coach.

1673
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 2: Obviously he has a better resume than Bill Cower, who's

1674
01:18:32,320 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. But I just I found

1675
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 2: it interesting when Fields got word that they were going

1676
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:42,400
Speaker 2: to go Russell Wilson, and Fields basically said, yeah, I

1677
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:43,200
Speaker 2: haven't done enough.

1678
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:47,000
Speaker 3: I don't think he believed that, but I think he

1679
01:18:47,040 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 3: did the corporate He don't have to say that. I

1680
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:52,439
Speaker 3: mean he said it, he did. I know that was bad.

1681
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:55,439
Speaker 3: So what is his future in Pittsburgh? Justin Fields? Does

1682
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,280
Speaker 3: he have a future? I don't think he does. If

1683
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,400
Speaker 3: they if he did, we would see him longer to

1684
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:01,960
Speaker 3: actually get that figure it out. So I don't know

1685
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 3: what that looks like, but I don't think it's in Pittsburgh.

1686
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:08,559
Speaker 3: All right, one more question for you. Yep your Jets, Yep,

1687
01:19:09,560 --> 01:19:12,639
Speaker 3: you're Jets. That's so funny how they're my team always.

1688
01:19:12,840 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 2: By the way, has there ever been an interim coach fired?

1689
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, okay, so they're not going to

1690
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:19,920
Speaker 2: make any more coaching changes.

1691
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 3: We know that.

1692
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 2: Is it fixable? I mean, it's two and five. You

1693
01:19:25,960 --> 01:19:28,000
Speaker 2: know you're already three games behind the Bills. But I

1694
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 2: mean you're not done. Obviously, you just got to get

1695
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 2: on a roll. Obviously you better win at New England.

1696
01:19:33,640 --> 01:19:39,920
Speaker 2: But I don't know if it's fixable. But you talked

1697
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:42,799
Speaker 2: about just the chemistry on that team is non existent.

1698
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:46,439
Speaker 3: There's no fun. You gotta have fun playing football. It's

1699
01:19:46,479 --> 01:19:48,519
Speaker 3: not all about execution all the time. It is. It's

1700
01:19:48,520 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 3: a big part of it. But if you're not having

1701
01:19:49,960 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 3: fun and you're worried about mistakes, that's what it looks

1702
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:54,240
Speaker 3: like from them, and it's just deflating.

1703
01:19:54,439 --> 01:19:56,040
Speaker 2: See a lot of people would say that part of

1704
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:59,000
Speaker 2: it's overrated. It's not because it's not just on Sundays

1705
01:19:59,040 --> 01:19:59,479
Speaker 2: having fun.

1706
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:01,240
Speaker 3: It's the whole. We've got to enjoy the people you

1707
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:03,639
Speaker 3: work with, Yes, And if you don't, you're not gonna

1708
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:06,679
Speaker 3: win and actually walk onto that field as a team.

1709
01:20:07,479 --> 01:20:09,479
