17
00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Well, I didn't think I'd be

18
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: sitting here in the third quarter of Monday Night football saying,

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: justin fields and the Jets put up more points yesterday offensively,

20
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: but they did than both of these teams.

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 3: It is zero zero. But wait wait, we actually have

22
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: a field goal. Whoa, oh my goodness.

23
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: The Eagles have put the first points on the board,

24
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: and before you're even thinking, no, it's not snowing. It's

25
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: not an incredible rainstorm. There's not been some active God.

26
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: This is not Magnolia where the frogs start flying out everywhere. No,

27
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: this is just a Monday night football game Philadelphia and

28
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: Green Bay. It's a little chili but okay. The first

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: points of the game on the board in the third

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 1: quarter an Eagles field goal to make it three nothing.

31
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 1: Some interesting notes on this one. The first Monday night

32
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 1: football game to go into halftime scoreless since two thousand

33
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 1: and nine. Cleveland Jets involved in that game. But the

34
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: Browns work, Oh that makes sense, So that makes sense.

35
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 1: Sounds Raiders, Brown's Ravens. Ah, Brown's Raiders.

36
00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: Would be much better.

37
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: And then the Ravens rattled off sixteen points, including an

38
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: interception return for a touchdown. That was Ray Rice and

39
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's rookie year going all the way back in

40
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: the time machine. No, what a miserable first half. I mean,

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: the highlight was that they called a false start on

42
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:22,519
Speaker 1: a quarterback sneak.

43
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that was a highlight.

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 1: And that didn't call one on a toush push where

45
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,799
Speaker 1: they were off to the races. So you know, it's

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: one of those things where like those are the highlights,

47
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: and right now Jordan Love is on pace to barely

48
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: eclipse the passing yardage of Justin Fields from Yester. I mean, really,

49
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,959
Speaker 1: would you say Justin Field's throwing for fifty four yards? Like, well,

50
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: no one's gonna oh no, no, no, just wait, no

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: one's gonna get under that. Hang on a second, judge, Yah,

52
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: wait a minute. These guys are making Aaron Rodgers look

53
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: good last night. Dude, this guy, this looks like they're

54
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: making Aaron Rodgers if he was fused with Justin Fields

55
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,960
Speaker 1: in some sort of super quarterback, making them look like, hey,

56
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: this is a this is an easy day for Sam Darnold.

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 1: For me, this is an easy day for me at

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,679
Speaker 1: the top of the food chain. If I'm Patrick Mahomes, Yeah,

59
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: that was a game that I'm really glad I didn't

60
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: spend a lot of money for last night. As the

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Steelers came to so far to play the Chargers. Man,

62
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: look great effort, Chargers taking care of business. But I

63
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: want a game that was not a game, that was

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: not a game that became a scrimmage. Jet looks like, man,

65
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 1: that looks like Rams Chiefs, you know, fifty four fifty game.

66
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: Oh no, absolutely nothing, nothing at halftime, a game that

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: is devoid of highlights. It's devoid of everything. Again, we're

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: the show you want to tune to because we know

69
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 1: bad football.

70
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 4: Now.

71
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: I know bad football better than you because your team

72
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: is actually good winning now yeah, bad football. Hey, you

73
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: know that's my wheelhouse man. And there has nothing been

74
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: so far this year worse than this game, even Jets

75
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: thirteen eleven with the Broncos a couple of weeks ago. No, no, no, no, no, no, no,

76
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: this is worse right here. Oh no, this has just

77
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,480
Speaker 1: been on. Why well yet two near scoring drives that

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: ended with terrible plays by their respective quarterbacks and fumbles

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: in the first quarter. You had literally two drives took

80
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: up the entire quarter. You just zero points. You know,

81
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: I just think about the people playing fantasy tonight, and

82
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: not that they involved, but people that are starting hurts

83
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: and love because you know, you start wide receivers and

84
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: running backs. Sometimes you have a big nights and you

85
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: don't have a big night. Obviously, with the Packers wide

86
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,559
Speaker 1: receiver situation week to week, it changes, right, and running

87
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: the football, okay, you know, Jacobs is your guy, your thing.

88
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: But on the eagle side, okay, I'm rolling dice with

89
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: aj Brown. I want to think DeVante Smith. Okay, Barkley

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: is not quite the same guy, but you get you

91
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: get a varying amounts, you know, from from your skill

92
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 1: position players. But just think about people who are playing

93
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 1: tonight and they say, yeah, I just need ten points

94
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: out of love to win, or I just need ten

95
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: points out of jail, which I'm gonna get in the

96
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: first half. I'm worried about it now. It's like, man,

97
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:00,640
Speaker 1: I need ten points. We're midway through the third quarter.

98
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: It's three nothing. Man, this is not good, Man, not good.

99
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 3: No, it's awful.

100
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean you talk about the lost fumble points too,

101
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: so depending on your league setting, you're chasing those. But

102
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, for the Packers with no craft, okay, Musgrave

103
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: steps up. But you know, every week it seems to

104
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: be a different wide receivers, so you're certainly not really

105
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 1: diving into that that mess for lack of a better term,

106
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: but you're expecting Josh Jacobs to be able to run

107
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: the ball to some level of effectiveness just thirty eight

108
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,400
Speaker 1: yards thus far, Barkley eleven carries for forty six he

109
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: out of fifteen yard It's like, okay, that begins it, right,

110
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: Remember going back before the bye is first one hundred

111
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: yard game of the season. Here we go and then

112
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: nothing and just getting stuffed at the line. Yeah, and

113
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: then Lane Johnson has to be carted off with an

114
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: ankle injury. I mean, you just had one thing after another.

115
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: This is this is a bad football game. But it's

116
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: the Eagles and the Packers and they're both at the

117
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: top of the NFC, so we always have to default

118
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: to as long as it's close. It's okay. As long

119
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: as it's close late for our purpose. Look, we win.

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: We don't need to talk about any part of this

121
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: game other than the end as long as stuff because like,

122
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: who really three nothing mill third quarter? Yeah? Can we

123
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: just fast forward? You know what, this is a defensive battle.

124
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying these struggles. He didn't believe me at all.

125
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: You know, when you want to a funny story when

126
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 1: working at ESPN, when I was at a PA and

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,159
Speaker 1: working on Sports Center, Right, every highlight that gets edited

128
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: at night gets a certain amount of time, right, and

129
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 1: the big games get an important game, you get longer

130
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: like usually bullet bullet points for a highlight. Everybody got

131
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: thirty seconds for one of the games they're cutting. Now

132
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: other games get a minute. Sure, if it's a bigger game.

133
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes the game goes crazy and it's great. You get

134
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: like a minute and a half highlight. Then they tell you,

135
00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: tell you, hey, you're cutting Rangers twins. We're not running

136
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: a highlight like this game was. You know, four to one.

137
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: Nothing happened where you're not going to go on a highlight.

138
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 1: So like, but then the games that are big, you

139
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: have no choice because you know the game is big

140
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 1: and people want to see it. Like they would say

141
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: nothing happened the first three quarters. Cut everything from what

142
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: happened in the fourth quarter, just say hey, three nothing

143
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. That's where we can't start there,

144
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: Yes we can. Yeah, if nothing happened, nothing happens. So

145
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: we don't need the first three quarter as long as

146
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: the end is good. So I'm hoping trying to be

147
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: positive here day that hey, it's been a craptastic game

148
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: so far, it's been all but hey we still have

149
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 1: a quarter and a half or maybe something good now.

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: You never know, maybe there's a defensive touchdown.

151
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: No, I don't know, but it's just kind of funny

152
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: watching this this game. And as we were getting ready

153
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: to transition with Robin and Carry coming out to the

154
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: odd couple, uh, they did the Hey, here's the first

155
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: half highlights. It was all b roll from pregame and

156
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 1: then the two fumbles. Yeah, I was saying, not a

157
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: lot of highlights. No, not a lot of highlights.

158
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 3: No, nothing, nothing going.

159
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you updated on this again. Three nothing

160
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Eagle with the lead. Well again, you're happy if you

161
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: have the under right now and a half was the

162
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: over under kick out. I feel pretty good about that

163
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: right now? What's the new indgame over?

164
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: I am looking up as we speak.

165
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: Seven. That would be entertaining, no question about let's say

166
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: we are currently at well, actually it's not even on

167
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: my board, and that's how bad. They just decided we're

168
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: done with this. They will, let you bet it, they will.

169
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: So again, we'll have more in this game. Hopefully it

170
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: gets better for all of us. Hopefully this gets better.

171
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: But big news today in the NFL we got Jason

172
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: locking Forest up and by in about twelve minutes. With

173
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: more on this, but the Giants fire Brian Dable after

174
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: blowing their lead to the Bears yesterday. The Bears come

175
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 1: from behind. It we'll have big stuff on Caleb Williams.

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: We got a great hot take on Caleb Williams coming

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: up a little bit. But Dable gets fired. The Giants

178
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: blow a ten point lead in the fourth quarter. It's

179
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 1: the fourth fourth quarter lead they have blown. We watch

180
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 1: the Bears come from behind to win twenty five or

181
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: twenty and quite honestly, I feel pretty pretty solid saying this.

182
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: If Brian Dabele could have done it over again, he

183
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: would have gone for the touchdown on fourth and one

184
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: from the half yard line instead of kicking a field

185
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: goal to give themselves a twenty to ten lead in

186
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: the fourth court.

187
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: Probably a pretty fair bet right there.

188
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing is that Dable got fired for

189
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. Right The team never got past

190
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 1: the promise that they had three and a half years ago,

191
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: when Daniel Jones had a really good last couple of

192
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: years and Dable gets the Giants to the playoffs, You're thinking, Okay,

193
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 1: they got it going on and Barkley's gonna be back healthy.

194
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: But they never got there. And it's not like they

195
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 1: didn't bring in new people, try new philosophies, and look, guys,

196
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: it's not his fault. The milk neighbors is hurt. Not

197
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 1: his fault. The camp Scattabo got hurt. But the Giants

198
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: had seen enough of Brian dabele led teams blowing games,

199
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 1: and what really came to a head. Quite honestly, you

200
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,560
Speaker 1: can say it's not about that one play. It kind

201
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: of is right, because look, they had chances later on

202
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: in the game. They could have they could have held on,

203
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: but you know, they shank a twenty six yard punt.

204
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 1: You know, there's other things, but it all goes under

205
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: the umbrella of being the head coach. But when you're

206
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: two and seven and you have a chance to go

207
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: up two touchdowns, you have fourth and goal and you

208
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: kick a field goal to go up to okay, I

209
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: get it. But then you get a penalty that puts

210
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: the ball in the half yard line, and Brian Dable

211
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: still decided I'm gonna take the points. I'm not gonna

212
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: go for it to go up ten points here and

213
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: in a vacuum and in a season where maybe you're

214
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: five hundred, or you're six and four, or you're seven

215
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: and three, okay, with the team successful, he's made a

216
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: lot of good decisions. He's trusting his defense, right, that's

217
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: the real But when you're two and seven, it's why

218
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: are you not going for it? You're on the half

219
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: yard line. You can't get a half yard. I get,

220
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 1: you don't have scattaboy, I get, but I get and

221
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 1: I get you're down, you know, and Jackson Dart had

222
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: gotten hurt too. I understand that. But you're on the

223
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: half yard line. You should be able to get a

224
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: half yard and if you don't get it, you don't

225
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 1: get it. It's not like it's gonna crush. You're two

226
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 1: and seven. It doesn't matter like that. That was the decision.

227
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: That was the final straw that told the Giants, if

228
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 1: we lose this game, he's gone. Because nothing has gotten

229
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,960
Speaker 1: better and it's been a hole. It's like a big

230
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: hamster wheel that they've had. We're just running in place

231
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: and hoping that things are going to change. But that

232
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: moment that was it simply because of the way the

233
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,360
Speaker 1: season is going. It's I know it's elementary to say, well,

234
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: we're two and seven, what does it matter? But no,

235
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 1: but really that's it. It's two and seven. What does

236
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: it matter? Go for it, go up two touchdowns. If

237
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: you don't get it, all right, you went for it,

238
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 1: you couldn't do it. You shrug your shoulders. Okay, that's fine,

239
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:42,480
Speaker 1: I mean, but the fact that they went scared at

240
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,599
Speaker 1: that point that helped give the Bears a lot of momentum,

241
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: telling them, okay, you know what, Oh the Giants they're

242
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,200
Speaker 1: not really they're really convinced. They've been working us for

243
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: three quarters, but they're not convinced they can they can

244
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: close this thing out. And that lets them back up

245
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 1: off the mat. And who knows that the Bears would

246
00:11:57,440 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: have won, because you know, at twenty four, maybe the

247
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: Giant's gone. You know, it's twenty four to twenty four

248
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: at that point, maybe, and they're going to overtime. But

249
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 1: the fact that he goes and gives you such a

250
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,960
Speaker 1: timid response when you're two and seven and you're on

251
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: the half yard line, that's where the Giants and Joe,

252
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: Shane and Mark they said, this guy's not our guy anymore,

253
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: and we're sick of the blown leads, we're sick of everything.

254
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: This is the final straw. If he had done it differently,

255
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: maybe he's still the Giants head coach day. But he didn't,

256
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: and that really was it.

257
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:26,520
Speaker 3: You can't ple no.

258
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: That was the one thing that said, well, we're thinking,

259
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:30,000
Speaker 1: we're thinking about okay, now we just have to do

260
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: it well. And you have a guy in the building,

261
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: and you know, the shameless Northwestern plug for Mike Kafka

262
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 1: getting promoted. But he's a guy that's been a finalist

263
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,200
Speaker 1: at least the last two cycles in terms of potential

264
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 1: head coaches. So he gets nearly a half season to

265
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: see what he can do. Does he have any killer

266
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: in steaking and fight in him, which clearly Brian Dable

267
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: had that taken out of him the last couple of weeks.

268
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,959
Speaker 1: I mean the percentage chances. I mean you're looking at

269
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:02,080
Speaker 1: win probabilities of ninety six, ninety eight whatever. I saw

270
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: one place taking the odds of them losing all three

271
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: of those games like one in sixty thousand. So scratch

272
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: off a lottery numbers. Whether that's fuzzy math or not,

273
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: I thought it was entertaining. I wasn't gonna break out

274
00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,160
Speaker 1: the calculator for it, but you get the point. These

275
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: are almost games that are in the cooler, as they say,

276
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: But for Brian Dable, You know, you talk about the

277
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: recklessness to a degree of how things have been handled

278
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,600
Speaker 1: with Jackson Dart probably didn't play well with Mara and

279
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: ownership as much as you know that guy plays with

280
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: his hair on fire. How many times he been in

281
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: a tent four five. You had that big controversy of

282
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: trying to cajole him out of the tent a couple

283
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: of weeks ago where they got fined and it was

284
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: just a terrible look for the NFL. And you know,

285
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: one that gets picked up into all the non sports

286
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: shows of hey they talk safety, Look what they did

287
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,920
Speaker 1: to this guy. So like it's just been a convergence

288
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: of a million bad stories and here where you have

289
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 1: a chance to kill what was the surging Chicago story, right,

290
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 1: that whole narrative and at least put people at at

291
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,079
Speaker 1: ease for a moment of all right, there's still some

292
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: fight in this squad. You let them off the hook.

293
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: You want, Dennis green Man, You let them off the hook.

294
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 1: And that's why you're gonna be an offensive coordator somewhere

295
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: for next year. That's what's gonna happen. There's Brian Dable like,

296
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: like how McDermott was frosty when asked about it. I

297
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: think we're okay. Exit up about a Fresca exit swollen dub.

298
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's that one bad decision that will get you fired.

00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: Well, listen, let's get to other more exciting news of

359
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,400
Speaker 1: the day than what we've seen so far tonight. Look,

360
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 1: Brian Dable gets fired as Giants head coach not going

361
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one. Really the the cherry

362
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: on top of the Sunday of the Giants blown leads

363
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter this season. When you heard that

364
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: news today, was it the right call? Should they have waited?

365
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 2: What?

366
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 5: What?

367
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 2: What?

368
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: What do you make of this? Now that you've had

369
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: a few hours to digest it.

370
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, look, I run in the Washington Post

371
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 2: based on what I was here, and he was pretty

372
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 2: much cooked after the Denver game. You lose game like that,

373
00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 2: you know, on top of a couple of years of

374
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 2: pretty much object failure and losing. Uh, somebody's gonna eat it.

375
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 2: And Mary's old school. You know, he thinks he needs

376
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: his GM to get him through the season, which is

377
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: kind of ridiculous. But yeah, and then you keep bowling

378
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 2: games in the fourth quarter and the quarterback keeps being

379
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 2: in the medical tent, and you know, you've got caught

380
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,880
Speaker 2: cheering into the medical tent a few weeks back when

381
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,320
Speaker 2: you had no business being there. There's just I mean,

382
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 2: but the optics are bad. The you know, you got neighborshood,

383
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 2: you got hurt, you got shatborrow hurt. Not that that's

384
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: all on the head coach, but you've got a lot

385
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 2: of frustration mounting there, and you've got another well season

386
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,919
Speaker 2: taking hold well before Thanksgiving. So no, I'm not surprised

387
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 2: that this was somebody who came into the year with

388
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: his job very much on the life. And there have

389
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,679
Speaker 2: been some good things there for sure with the quarterback,

390
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: but you know, everybody's going to want to work with

391
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: that quarterback now, like they're gonna have you know, funny

392
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: people who look at that job as being more attractive

393
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 2: now that it's been in some previous cycles, specifically because

394
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 2: of that quarterback. And the quarterback looks pretty well developed now.

395
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,080
Speaker 2: I don't think the idea of like Brian Gables the

396
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:20,600
Speaker 2: only guy could get to that and like.

397
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 1: Stop yeah, I Jay. That's the whole thing is that

398
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: I think this is already, no matter what, we see

399
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:30,800
Speaker 1: the most attractive job of the season offseason cycle because

400
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: of Dart and Scataboo and Neighbors comes back next year.

401
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: In the defensive line, it's hey, I'm in a position

402
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 1: to succeed. I think you might see guys that's good

403
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: that have gigs now say hey, wait a minute, I

404
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 1: would leave. I want to go to the giants. What

405
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: are some names you wouldn't be surprised to hear, you

406
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 1: know for giants when when they start looking full time,

407
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,160
Speaker 1: unless you know by Kafka reels off like seven wins

408
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: in a.

409
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 2: Row, well yeah that's not gonna happen. I mean, look

410
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,280
Speaker 2: this we turns through these guys so quickly. I mean

411
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 2: I don't know who people would be super fired up

412
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:05,919
Speaker 2: about right now. I don't know, you know, like the

413
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: hot coordinator thing, Like I feel like we've kind of

414
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 2: exalted in m may think you know, the very s

415
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 2: out on call going. Uh, you know, Zach Robinson can't

416
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: do anything as an OC with Atlanta, Like, I don't

417
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,359
Speaker 2: know who the next guy up there would be the

418
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 2: group of guys who have been fired already and are

419
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 2: going to be fired. I don't see them getting another chance,

420
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: like Mike McCarthy, Like you look at the gambling odds.

421
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,000
Speaker 2: I mean, Jason Garrett and Mike McCarthy are there, Like really,

422
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 2: what the hell? I mean? Look, does he get bad

423
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh? You know? Like is that the end? I mean,

424
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: I would think they would be Mike Tomlin in New York.

425
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: That would seem to be a perfect match. Now again,

426
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 2: we'll have to see how that plays out there, and

427
00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 2: a lot of things would have to come to pass.

428
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 2: But like if you're asking me people who could maybe

429
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: be out there who might interest them. But I mean

430
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: if people talk about Cliff Knny Perry, stop come on, man,

431
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 2: like Ben mc to do three point zero? Like, I

432
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 2: don't know, guys I don't know. There's a pretty good

433
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 2: chance if Mara hires him, he'll stink. That's what I

434
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 2: do know.

435
00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 3: There you have it.

436
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: I've seen the lane kiff and battle, not just for

437
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: the college range, but potentially for this one as well.

438
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: His name's been bandied about, but since you mentioned Mike Tomlin,

439
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: other than this Monday night football game, that Pittsburgh effort,

440
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: other than a bad pass to DK Metcalf that had

441
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:39,239
Speaker 1: hope for until it left Roger's hand, was about as

442
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 1: dismal an effort as you see.

443
00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: I mean, look, Keith on his last legs. I mean,

444
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: he's basically cooked. And to think that now the weather

445
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: is starting to turn right and the schedules ramped up

446
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: and the deadlines pass. So it is what it is.

447
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 2: It's still players are still players. He's gonna bring out

448
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:02,480
Speaker 2: the worst in him. I still got a lot of

449
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 2: division games to come, and people in this division can

450
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,240
Speaker 2: play a little defense outside of you know, Cincinnati, and

451
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 2: Cincinnati still already found a way to be one point

452
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,760
Speaker 2: or whatever better than him last time. So you know,

453
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:16,640
Speaker 2: I think you're going to see the frustration boil over

454
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 2: you already have. I just don't you know, I don't

455
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 2: think he's someone at this stage of his career who

456
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,359
Speaker 2: you could remotely think is going to get better as

457
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 2: the season goes off, and you need to stack wins early.

458
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: You need to get him confident. You need to be

459
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 2: able to incubate him. They can't play from behind at

460
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: all like that. That's if they can get thirty five

461
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 2: to forty run plays off some way, somehow the script

462
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: allows that, and the defense is creating turnovers on that day,

463
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 2: then they can win. But that's a tough needle to threat.

464
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 2: And you're not going to be able to come back

465
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: on anybody with this guy who's your quarterback at this

466
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 2: stage of his career. You're just not me. The only

467
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 2: time he wants to push the ball down the field

468
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: is when it's a hill Mary against a free man rush.

469
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 2: Like that's it, Jay.

470
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: When it comes to that division. Now, obviously the Ravens

471
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 1: are back in the mix. You're there in Baltimore. The

472
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: defense seems like they magically fixed itself a couple of

473
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: weeks ago. Again, what what, what what has happened? I mean, really,

474
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: as bad as it was to begin with, I thought

475
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: the season was over after Week one, and now look

476
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: at where they are. Now I'm knocking on the door

477
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: at the top of the division, like like, like, what's

478
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: happened outside of Lamar coming back? Like what's happened? Because

479
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: you know he's not making the defense better.

480
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 2: Well, before we go crazy, table Williams far and away. Okay,

481
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 2: they faced Stafford. They ended up giving up seventeen there.

482
00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:40,400
Speaker 2: You know, the Rams were about to fly the long man,

483
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: like that game was over at seventeen to three. You know,

484
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 2: like Cooper Rush wasn't going to move the ball at all.

485
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,719
Speaker 2: So if you want to give him credit for that, like, okay,

486
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: you know, Adams drops a couple of touchdown passes, hurt

487
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 2: his ankle real early in the game, But like go

488
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 2: look at who they play. I mean, you know, like Bailable,

489
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: you know JJ McCarthy. I mean, he can't throw the

490
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 2: ball past the line of scrimmage. Like they're going to

491
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 2: get Dylan Gabriel last week, then they're gonna get whether

492
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: it's Taylor or Field. They you know, I think that's

493
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:19,640
Speaker 2: got a whole lot to do with it.

494
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 4: They don't really have a pass rush, they've got good secondary,

495
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: and they haven't really been attacked with running backs and

496
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 4: tight ends lately.

497
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 2: In the past game. But I still think they're really

498
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 2: vulnerable to that. But they can get three safeties on

499
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 2: the field now with the Gilman trade with the Chargers,

500
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 2: and that allows them to keep Kyle Hamilton around the

501
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage where he needs to be, and that's

502
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 2: helping the pass rush, that's helping the blitz, and that's

503
00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 2: helping them knock down balls to the line of scrimmage,

504
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 2: which is really what's going on. Even more so than

505
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,399
Speaker 2: in sacks and pressures, they've been able to disrupt the

506
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 2: ball in flight coming out of the quarterback's hands. So

507
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,199
Speaker 2: I again like they're not a lot of things have

508
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 2: brooked their way in terms of who they're facing and

509
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:09,080
Speaker 2: the way this schedule works, and they're going to continue

510
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:12,760
Speaker 2: to feast for a couple more weeks and we'll see.

511
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,680
Speaker 2: I mean, they do this every year, Like even did

512
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 2: this under McDonald, as good as he was calling plays.

513
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 2: They start slow, they have to make some personnel adjustments,

514
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 2: some scheme adjustments, and then they'd be much better in

515
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 2: the second half. And that's certainly the case right now.

516
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: Currently minus two fifty to win the division implies a

517
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: seventy one and a half percent Pittsburgh at plus two fifty.

518
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 1: But now Joe Burrow is going to return plus eighteen hundred,

519
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 1: too little, too late? Are just are they just talking

520
00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:47,159
Speaker 1: about wishing and hoping here?

521
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,920
Speaker 3: Jay?

522
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we're going to say until you know,

523
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,160
Speaker 2: closer to the mid mid December. But if we even

524
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 2: see him at all, because they lose three more games

525
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 2: before he comes back, what did you really bring it

526
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 2: him back for? I mean, what what is the risk

527
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 2: we ward there? And that would be like the leading

528
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 2: leaving Jade Daniels in the game the other day on

529
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: steroids like that would be doing that on crack. You know,

530
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 2: we got no offensive line, we can't stop anybody defensively.

531
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:18,959
Speaker 2: Let's let Joe Burrow thro you know, Let's let Joe

532
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,639
Speaker 2: Burrow come out there, rusty in a lost, lost season

533
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 2: and throw the ball fifty five times a game while

534
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: Zach Tellen tries to save his job. But I dare him,

535
00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 2: I dare you to do that. I dare you.

536
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: So, Jay, when it comes to it, when it comes

537
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: to this division now okay, because it's not now, it's

538
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,359
Speaker 1: gone from Boy, it's so bad, it's fun. If I

539
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: said to you, what's the big thing. What do you

540
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 1: expect end of the year, who winds up at the

541
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:44,120
Speaker 1: top of this division?

542
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's Baltimore. I mean they still

543
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 2: have five division games to play, including two with Pittsburgh.

544
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 2: They play Cincinnati twice in a three weeks span. Now

545
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 2: is it going to be Burrow for one of those games?

546
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: Is a flat go for both? I don't know, but yeah,

547
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:09,239
Speaker 2: I mean it sets up pretty well for Baltimore. But

548
00:27:09,359 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 2: like Pittsburgh, I mean, they're never It's like it's never

549
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,639
Speaker 2: ever till it's over. I mean, Tomlin's never had a

550
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 2: losing season, but you look at their schedule, you could

551
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 2: play the win lost win win lost game. But like

552
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 2: they'll probably beat Buffalo, you know, now they also lose

553
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 2: to Cleveland. Like I I don't know, but I mean

554
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:32,160
Speaker 2: Baltimore's closed the gap enough to now where I think

555
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:35,520
Speaker 2: a reasonable person would have to say the Ravens are

556
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 2: gonna win this division.

557
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason Locke and four that is

558
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 1: at Jason lock and for a wanna bet Odyssey Washington

559
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: Post one oh five seven. The fan in Baltimore Jays

560
00:27:46,840 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: always Buddy appreciate it. I hope we get more points

561
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, so at least you didn't miss anything.

562
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 1: While you're talking to us, everything is still.

563
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 2: The same about holding my breath.

564
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: There goes Jason lock and for I mean, look, this

565
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,679
Speaker 1: is this is one of those situations where you know,

566
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,239
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago it was the Ravens can't come

567
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,480
Speaker 1: back from here. But remember when we tell you the

568
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: Steelers stink, well the division as a whole. As much

569
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 1: as I love Joe Flacco, yes, the Browns come off

570
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,840
Speaker 1: to the Jets. That right now, if Burrow comes back Thanksgiving,

571
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, oh, maybe you never know. That's it, Flood.

572
00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: But man, they're eighteen to one. Vision is eighteen to one.

573
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: If you want to go down that path, bad, It's bad, man,

574
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:30,119
Speaker 1: it's bad. But no, it's awful, right Cleveland. Cleveland's terrible.

575
00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: I mean, did you actually want to win this game?

576
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's hard. Far you find the trade

577
00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: already got you some picks. Yeah, I was fine when

578
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: because no matter who the if the Jets pick a quarterback,

579
00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 1: whoever it is, it's going to be wrong. So I'd

580
00:28:44,400 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: rather almost them to pick be a little bit lower

581
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: so we get like Caleb Downs. You know, maybe that'll

582
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: work and and uh and that'll be better because if

583
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: we pick a quarterback, whoever we pick is wrong. So

584
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: I was absolutely okay until he gets to three teams

585
00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 1: to separation. Yeah no, okay, yeah, I'm completely but yeah.

586
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: By by odds, their seventy two percent favorites the Ravens

587
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: to win the division at this point, exit ou about

588
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 1: a Fresca exit swelling Dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon live

589
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. We have what's trending

590
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: and breaking news well right now from special delivery Steve

591
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 1: de Sager, because we have a six point touchdown in

592
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: the Monday night football game.

593
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 3: Wait a minute, six points on one night shot.

594
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Just want to make sure people know you can get

595
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 1: six points on one play in the NFL. You're watching

596
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: this game. You don't know that until just now.

597
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:34,600
Speaker 6: There are people that pay good money for this in

598
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 6: Green Bay, Wisconsin, and it's about thirty degrees and the

599
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 6: Packers are getting shut out. With ten and a half

600
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 6: minutes to go, it's Eagles ten nothing now. DeVante Smith

601
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 6: a thirty six yard reception from Jalen Hurts. Each quarterback

602
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 6: had fumbled in this game. It was scoreless at halftime. Tonight,

603
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 6: Eagles kicked a thirty nine yard field goal in the

604
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 6: third quarter. Now it's early in the fourth now. On

605
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 6: the very first drive of the night, sixteen plays worth

606
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 6: for the Eagles, it ended in a Jalen Hurts fumble.

607
00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,120
Speaker 6: Each quarterback as fumbled tonight, but that was the longest

608
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 6: Eagles drive to end in a turnover in the last

609
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 6: twenty five seasons, and the fact that the Packers forced

610
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 6: the turnovers notable because they entered the game with the

611
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 6: second fewest takeaways in the league this season. By the way,

612
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 6: the Eagles had scored in every first quarter this year

613
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,480
Speaker 6: until tonight. Now the Bears are the only team in

614
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 6: the NFL to have scored in every first.

615
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 3: Quarter, something they didn't do at all last year.

616
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 6: In many quarters. Yes, the Packers had twenty four yards

617

Speaker 6: through three quarters for the first time in two years.

620
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,200

675
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: of stat for the most boring football game in history? Well,

676
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean we rank them, uh one through two seventy two.

677
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: I mean, by the end of the year, you had one,

678
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 1: we had what we said last year, This one's two

679
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: seventy you had win it like two seventy now's right now?

680
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: This one's a like two seventy one. Well, but I

681
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: mean it might be ratcheting up here in the final minutes.

682
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,000
Speaker 1: I mean as long as, like we said, as long

683
00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: as it's close late. Yep, yup, Jason, I don't know

684
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: if there is list. If there is one, it's a

685
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 1: lot of Jets games here. Oh no, it's true. Yeah, yeah,

686
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: you see that list, Like eight of the ten games

687
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:10,719
Speaker 1: involved Jets teams. But we do want it to be

688
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 1: close late. It looks like that might be the case.

689
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 1: Jacobs is in the end zone for the Packers their

690
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: first score of the night, extra point pending, so now

691
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 1: it will likely be ten to seven late in the

692
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 1: fourth quarter, five and a half to go. Oo we

693
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: got points well, I mean he's well over a hundred

694
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: total yards on the night. Now the touchdown, so for

695
00:34:30,040 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: fantasy purposes, you got that floor that you hit and

696
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 1: crash through that. Now, let's see what we've got for

697
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: this final five to forty nine. All right, So we

698
00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 1: got more exciting stuff coming up in a minute. But first,

699
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: the play of the day. The Play of the day,

700
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 1: of course, is brought to you by ti raqantyraq dot

701
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 1: com for over forty years, I think that's the last

702
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: time the Packers scored a touchdown for for forty years,

703
00:34:50,600 --> 00:34:53,040
Speaker 1: Tirack's been up and customers find the right tires for how,

704
00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: what and where they drive. Shipped fast and free backed

705
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,240
Speaker 1: by free Road has a protection with convenient installation options

706
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,919
Speaker 1: like mobile tires installation. Tirerack dot Com is the way

707
00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: tire buying should be. Well, when you have a night

708
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 1: where you score thirty eight points, you would think that

709
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,720
Speaker 1: would be it, But no, it's the hoop that didn't

710
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,120
Speaker 1: count for Luka Doncic. That's the play of the day.

711
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:24,919
Speaker 3: Another rebounds for his sixth terrible. The Lakers called time

712
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 3: out and Doncic fired it just because he's a been

713
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 3: a painter.

714
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,040
Speaker 1: Horne and Stevie on the call. Doncic fires it from

715
00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: the Lakers free throw line. I mean it doesn't count.

716
00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 1: But a night where he had thirty eight, he just

717
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: chucks it up from the Lakers free throw line and

718
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 1: he swishes it for a three that didn't count. It

719
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:45,640
Speaker 1: doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. That's the play of the day.

720
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:48,479
Speaker 1: Do I get to call for like a controversial thing

721
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 1: the next time he misses an actual shot?

722
00:35:50,160 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 3: Then what the hell?

723
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 4: Man?

724
00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 3: No, man, you get hit that one without thinking about it.

725
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: You respect the MVP? Yeah?

726
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:59,160
Speaker 1: No respect that hey and listen, I'm looking. I'm excited

727
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 1: to see when Lebron James plays with the South Bay

728
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 1: Lakers as it's come back all.

729
00:36:03,480 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 3: How great would that be.

730
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:07,560
Speaker 1: It's got like the minor league rehab States where the

731
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,879
Speaker 1: guy's gotta buy lobster and state for all the guys

732
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 1: that get nothing. And Bro, you're the minor league, as

733
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,520
Speaker 1: what are you doing. You're on the bus, let's go.

734
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: And Bronny's like, Dad, I'm with the Lakers. You're playing

735
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,319
Speaker 1: South Bay to my dad, Dad, just good luck Dad.

736
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 1: He's gonna cater Blaze pizza. Good luck Dad, that pizza

737
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,720
Speaker 1: ain't showing up, just like he didn't. Again, it's gonna

738
00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:27,360
Speaker 1: be so awkward when Lebron does return to the Lakers.

739
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:32,800
Speaker 1: But how about this, you want to hot take NFL MVP? Okay,

740
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 1: got one for you. Drake may is near the top.

741
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,879
Speaker 3: Oh, he's at the top right now.

742
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 1: No matter where you look, he's anywhere from first to

743
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: second as the favorites. Yeah, Matthew Stafford also getting a

744
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: lot of run. When you throw four touchdowns a week

745
00:36:46,480 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 1: for like nine weeks in a row, you're gonna get

746
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: run as MVP. But I'm going to give you somebody else,

747
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,720
Speaker 1: because I want to push the conversation forward because early

748
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:57,479
Speaker 1: on in the season, we told you everything was gonna

749
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,600
Speaker 1: be fine with this guy. It's the era of good

750
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: feeling and just got to sit back and let things bake.

751
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, right, but oh, Jonathan Taylor's terrific. Fantasy owners

752
00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,280
Speaker 1: really upset because they're a bye this week? Like, oh no, However,

753
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 1: Stafford is great, Drake may has played fantastic. But how

754
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: about Caleb Williams MVP? Think about it right, come on,

755
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 1: come on now. His numbers are fine, you're taking me

756
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 1: down a deep dark path. Numbers are fine, But the

757
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: MVP isn't always about the numbers. Sometimes it is, but

758
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:35,040
Speaker 1: the fact that the Bears are succeeding is a storyline

759
00:37:35,080 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 1: that cuts through. We've watched Caleb Williams now win four

760
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 1: last minute games by dicing up the defense in a

761
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:46,240
Speaker 1: myriad of ways. Sometimes it's I'm finding the right receiver

762
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: on my first read. Sometimes it's finding the right guy

763
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 1: and a check down. Sometimes it's scrambling for a first down.

764
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,879
Speaker 1: Four not four comeback wins where oh we were down

765
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 1: seven to six, early four last minute wins where he

766
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 1: has rescued the Bears because of the end of games.

767
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:04,800
Speaker 1: He's playing incredibly clutch. That's a big number. You're talking about.

768
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Half their wins was at the end.

769
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 3: Ken.

770
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: Now they're calling a unicorn now, and I mean, really,

771
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has been that good. He has been someone

772
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,240
Speaker 1: that he's smart with the football, he's finding the right weapons.

773
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,680
Speaker 1: We told you he's gonna be a star, and now

774
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:20,919
Speaker 1: people are coming around to that. Oh I always said, Caleb,

775
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:21,919
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, that's great.

776
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:22,160
Speaker 2: Yeah.

777
00:38:22,239 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 1: Listen, remember this is why we call the show ahead

778
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:25,439
Speaker 1: of the curve, because you are ahead of the curve.

779
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,400
Speaker 1: Now he's even better than he was. Chicago is not

780
00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 1: nearly six and three without him. If you love Drake

781
00:38:31,480 --> 00:38:34,040
Speaker 1: May for MVP, right, and I'm okay with that. If

782
00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,320
Speaker 1: you want to love Drake May for MVP, you gotta

783
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: love Caleb Williams more because he's pulling out games at

784
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:42,160
Speaker 1: the end. He's winning games by himself. I can't tell

785
00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: you a lot of games Drake May is won by himself.

786
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: He has played terrific. But I can point again four

787
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: to six wins where Caleb Williams just turns to a

788
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: different guy at the end, and in a year where

789
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,200
Speaker 1: not everybody is running crazy with stats. You don't have

790
00:38:54,239 --> 00:38:56,960
Speaker 1: a quarterback with thirty touchdowns at this point. Mahomes is

791
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 1: not having that year. Caleb Williams, MVP. Think about that

792
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,839
Speaker 1: and what he's accomplished. It's a hot take, it's really

793
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,319
Speaker 1: not that hot.

794
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 3: I'll tell you how he can win it.

795
00:39:06,719 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 1: Like this is where we really kick this down the

796
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 1: road is the fact that the Bears going forward have

797
00:39:12,280 --> 00:39:16,839
Speaker 1: the toughest strength of schedule remaining in the National Football League.

798
00:39:16,840 --> 00:39:20,160
Speaker 1: When you look at their quote easy opponents, You've got

799
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: the Vikings are listed as an easy opponent, with his

800
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 1: classmate JJ McCarthy leading the way, and then the Cleveland Browns. Otherwise,

801
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:31,239
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh still on the plus side right having fallen off altogether.

802
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:35,440
Speaker 1: San Francisco reeling, but still they had a little fighting

803
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 1: him before they acquiesced. On Sunday, you got the Lions

804
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: two against the Packers and a game against Philadelphia currently

805
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 1: ten to seven as we are talking here at the

806
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,839
Speaker 1: end of the hour one. But you look at what

807
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:51,719
Speaker 1: Williams has done starting to push the ball downfield. Last

808
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: year was really good with the touchdown to interception ratio,

809
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:58,160
Speaker 1: but it was all a shot chart between five yards

810
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,319
Speaker 1: ahead of the line of image in five yards behind it.

811
00:40:01,400 --> 00:40:03,520
Speaker 1: Not a lot of pushing the ball downfield, a lot

812
00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 1: of sacks that he absorbed this year learning to play.

813
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 3: Coming into the.

814
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:11,239
Speaker 1: Week, was tied for second with the most snaps in

815
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: play action something Ben Johnson wanted to do. What's he doing.

816
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: He's seeing the field better, making better decisions, not taking

817
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 1: sacks and advancing the ball. Now, have they had some

818
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: great circumstances where it rolled up? Sure, Brian Dable was goward,

819
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: he got fired. You had the Cincinnati Bengals three guys

820
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: pinball off Loveland as he runs towards the end zone.

821
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:34,880
Speaker 1: All of those things. You know what, the box scores

822
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:37,399
Speaker 1: all read the same. And where he can take over

823
00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: for Drake may here in terms of that favorite right

824
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,919
Speaker 1: he's at plus three hundred, is the fact that they've

825
00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 1: got the easiest strength of schedule remaining, so they're gonna

826
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 1: pack it stack up wins. But if Caleb is able

827
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,239
Speaker 1: to do more of the same that he's done these

828
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: last couple weeks, it's going to be a bigger and

829
00:40:52,480 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: more impressive show. And in Chicago, Caleb Williams, NFL MVP

830
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: just think about that for a second.

831
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,800
Speaker 3: That's just crazy.

832
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,479
Speaker 1: How about coming up next well off More and Monday

833
00:41:02,520 --> 00:41:05,120
Speaker 1: Night Football? And how about the right guy to replace

834
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:09,399
Speaker 1: Brian Dable in New York? Sell Sell, Sell, I watched

835
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,640
Speaker 1: the jot I don't know if we're gonna get two

836
00:41:10,640 --> 00:41:14,479
Speaker 1: touchdowns the rest of the year, Garret. I can't count

837
00:41:14,480 --> 00:41:17,080
Speaker 1: in a kick and punt return for touchdown every game.

838
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: We're not playing the Browns again. I mean, come on, man,

839
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 1: looking at the quarterbacks that you're going up against, like,

840
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: we can get a touchdown defensively against that guy right

841
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: by the way, who is the genius that thought?

842
00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 2: You know?

843
00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 1: We gotta do we gotta put Jets Patriots on but

844
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,359
Speaker 1: like week eleven, Like, what are you talking about? Man?

845
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: Why would you play? This is like a week two

846
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 1: TNF game. Let's get them before the Jets suck because

847
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: we know that's gonna and the Patriots how good are

848
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,000
Speaker 1: they gonna be? Now you didn't know about the Patriots, okay,

849
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: but really, boy, we gotta get the Jets while they're

850
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 1: still so why why would you go Jets and Patriots

851
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: week eleven?

852
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:49,600
Speaker 3: Come on, man? Really?

853
00:41:49,800 --> 00:41:53,279
Speaker 1: I think they wanted to highlight Aaron Glen against Mike

854
00:41:53,400 --> 00:41:55,319
Speaker 1: Rabel al Michaels right now is look at this, guys,

855
00:41:55,320 --> 00:41:58,200
Speaker 1: We're going, oh no, no, no, not after last week.

856
00:41:58,200 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 3: You can't do this to me.

857
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 1: Yes, the points spread, No, not doing this, not doing this,

858
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 1: guess it? Twenty one, twenty one and a half. It

859
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: might as well be tef. It's early in the week.

860
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 1: It's early in the week. It's early. So again, closing

861
00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 1: on the two minute warning, Packers with the football deep

862
00:42:13,760 --> 00:42:16,080
Speaker 1: in their own territory and need a field goal to

863
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 1: tie this game. Really, boy, from last Thursday to tonight

864
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:21,680
Speaker 1: and we got Jets, but we are in a bad

865
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 1: week run of Thursday night foot Yeah, but you know

866
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: Thursday will be great because you'll you'll still get either

867
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:34,280
Speaker 1: hyped or unconsolable depending on how that game goes. Because

868
00:42:34,280 --> 00:42:37,759
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't love the Patriots. You hate the Patriots, right.

869
00:42:37,800 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: The fact that they won this past weekend gives them

870
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 1: a little bit of juice, right because that was a

871
00:42:42,320 --> 00:42:45,400
Speaker 1: plus team that was a division leading team. They're minus

872
00:42:45,440 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: I think nine thousand to win that division. That's how

873
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:52,200
Speaker 1: bad the NFC South is. Even after the loss, the

874
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 1: Buccaneers are that that great Carolina coming in at plus

875
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: eight fifty. Their quarterback had one hundred and twenty four

876
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 1: passing yards, eclips two hunerd passing yards once all year.

877
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and they're they're the second favorite, uh in

878
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: the division. But yeah, the Patriots get in there and

879
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:12,360
Speaker 1: sell Drake may sell sell Sell. I mean maybe networks

880
00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 1: can slump too, right, Like, Hey, we're we're in a

881
00:43:14,840 --> 00:43:16,439
Speaker 1: bad We're in a bad pride. We gotta we gotta

882
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 1: pull ourselves out of this.

883
00:43:17,440 --> 00:43:17,640
Speaker 2: Man.

884
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: We're in a we're in a bad way.

885
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:20,120
Speaker 2: Man.

886
00:43:20,160 --> 00:43:21,960
Speaker 3: We gotta, we gotta, we gotta have meetings.

887
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: We gotta have players only meetings, we have executive only meetings.

888
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:27,240
Speaker 1: We gotta figure it out. Did they suddenly start playing

889
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:28,680
Speaker 1: an old Jets Patriots game.

890
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 3: Here's Tom Brady. We're gonna show you, Tom Brady, look

891
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 3: at this.

892
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,839
Speaker 1: Uh so again, this is where we're at right now.

893
00:43:35,880 --> 00:43:38,719
Speaker 1: But again ten seven two minute warning in the fourth quarter.

894
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 1: More in this game coming up in a few minutes.

895
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 1: But Brian Dable got fired as Giants head coach today.

896
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,279
Speaker 1: Can't say I blame the Giants, right, Dable. It's just

897
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: time after time after time of Dable and the Giants

898
00:43:50,400 --> 00:43:53,839
Speaker 1: falling short. The blown lead in Denver four blown fourth

899
00:43:53,880 --> 00:43:57,200
Speaker 1: quarter leads this year. The tipping point was not going

900
00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,560
Speaker 1: for it on fourth and one yesterday against the Bears,

901
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 1: and that coming back to haunt them in a loss.

902
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:04,400
Speaker 1: The Giants had decided that's enough and we're moving on

903
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: right now. Mike Kafka for a Northwestern Star. Yeah, will

904
00:44:07,920 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 1: five hundred plus yards in a bowl game against Auburn.

905
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:14,160
Speaker 1: It was a loss, but TJ clearly the Giants hoping

906
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:19,200
Speaker 1: under Kafka the offense will undergo a metamorphosis as they

907
00:44:19,239 --> 00:44:22,919
Speaker 1: continue on. TJ, well done for the well read out there.

908
00:44:23,000 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: You got that. If not, just let it go. You

909
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: know he did lose the Syracuse that year. Yeah, yeah,

910
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:35,160
Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty four. He's disqualified that. That is a

911
00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:39,920
Speaker 1: tough thing to look back at the calendar, Syracuse. You're out. Yeah, well,

912
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: and you also don't want to yell at the head

913
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: coach on the way out because he may wind up

914
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 1: yelling at you and getting fined for out of pocket gestures. Yeah,

915
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:53,600
Speaker 1: we can't even say what the coach said to a

916
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:58,080
Speaker 1: fan as he was leaving, said he wanted to fight Mike. No,

917
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,800
Speaker 1: I mean I like hot take nons. That works, But no, no, no,

918
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: this is FCC non compliancy. So hopefully the networks figure

919
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: out their NFL football a slump again, and because boy,

920
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: this is not a great week.

921
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 3: No it's okay.

922
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: But with Dable being fired, right, Mike Kaffa takes over,

923
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and it's not like he's suddenly gonna start winning a

924
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 1: bunch of games. The Giants as good as Jackson dart is,

925
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: they're just not good enough. Right, But let me throw

926
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:26,799
Speaker 1: this to who are they gonna get?

927
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: Right?

928
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:29,839
Speaker 1: This is gonna be probably the best opening of the

929
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: off season because you're in a position to succeed, right.

930
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: It's a you are a coming into a situation where

931
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who is terrific. You have a young

932
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: running back who's a leader who will come back from

933
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: injury camp scattaboo. You have Molik Neighbors, one of the

934
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,759
Speaker 1: best young wide receivers. You have some big time talent.

935
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,919
Speaker 1: You have a really good defensive lineup due Carter. It's

936
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,960
Speaker 1: New York like all of a sudden, the Giants, this

937
00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 1: is a great opening, and it's I don't know that

938
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a better opening because you want to

939
00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,440
Speaker 1: come in with a quarterback to be able to succeed.

940
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:02,319
Speaker 1: You see the success Johnson's having coming in as from

941
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: former OC with the Lions. How things are going now

942
00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,839
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams? Right, we talked about a few minutes ago,

943
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams. Really you want to talk about Matthew Stafford

944
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: and Drake May. Caleb Williams might be more than those

945
00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:16,239
Speaker 1: guys for MVP I fifty one. Think about what he's

946
00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:18,759
Speaker 1: done right, and it's worked out, This relationship has worked.

947
00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:20,959
Speaker 1: You have now doomed my second half of my bear.

948
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,959
Speaker 1: See Caleb Williams can't find receiver at all, he still

949
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 1: has it completed a pass justin fields with better stats

950
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 1: than Caleb Williams. Remember after week one and two when

951
00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: everybody said it wouldn't work.

952
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, here we are.

953
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:38,200
Speaker 1: But let me throw this out here because you want

954
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,359
Speaker 1: to know a name, and we'll be the first one

955
00:46:40,400 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 1: because then people can steal this for tomorrow. Is that

956
00:46:43,280 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 1: the name of the guy that I thought of right

957
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: away that I said, Okay, what do we got here?

958
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: You have a young quarterback a year out of college

959
00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 1: who continues to be the guy you need to mold you.

960
00:46:55,960 --> 00:46:58,120
Speaker 1: You don't need to worry about drafting anything else. That's

961
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:02,080
Speaker 1: getting him help. The quarterback is the number one thing, right,

962
00:47:02,160 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 1: That's all you need to worry about. Quarterback quoter. You

963
00:47:04,680 --> 00:47:07,560
Speaker 1: have a franchise quarterback in an offensive minded head coach

964
00:47:07,640 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: that cuts out half the candidates. Do you want the

965
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 1: next up and coming young offensive coordinator. Yeah, and theory,

966
00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,479
Speaker 1: but he's got to be out there, and I don't

967
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 1: know that there's that guy out there right I don't

968
00:47:18,239 --> 00:47:20,279
Speaker 1: know that there's another Ben Johnson out there right now.

969
00:47:21,520 --> 00:47:26,120
Speaker 1: This would also work because it would get his current

970
00:47:26,280 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 1: situation to a place of being resolved. But what about this,

971
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 1: a guy with an incredible quarterback track record, multiple Heisman

972
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:45,040
Speaker 1: Trophy winners, Lincoln Riley, head coach New York Giants. Think

973
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 1: about think about for a second what he did at

974
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 1: Oklahoma getting to USC coaching Caleb Williams to a Heisman trophy.

975
00:47:52,440 --> 00:47:55,200
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is pretty terrific so far. Guys he has

976
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:58,320
Speaker 1: coached have been really good. He was on the NFL

977
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 1: radar a couple of years ago. Instead of staying in college,

978
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 1: instead of staying where he was, I want to go

979
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 1: to USC, right, got the one hundred million dollar contract,

980
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:11,120
Speaker 1: all the big cash. It is not work great at USC,

981
00:48:11,600 --> 00:48:15,239
Speaker 1: but one thing we have seen offensively, they've gone from

982
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy Caleb Williams, now you have Ja Maiva who

983
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,960
Speaker 1: could wind up being a Heisman Trophy finalist. The offense

984
00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: has been pretty good. Has it worked for him in

985
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:28,440
Speaker 1: LA It is not And maybe it's unrealistic expectations, but

986
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,600
Speaker 1: when you get one hundred million dollars and a plane,

987
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: people expect certain things, expect you to get to the playoff.

988
00:48:34,120 --> 00:48:36,840
Speaker 1: It's not been a disaster, but it's not worked either.

989
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: So USC, I am sure would be okay with saying, yeah,

990
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:43,399
Speaker 1: let's move on. Maybe we not have to pay out

991
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,359
Speaker 1: as much if this is something that happens. He goes

992
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 1: calling to the NFL. Let's see how this really winds

993
00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,680
Speaker 1: up going. And if you're the Giants, we want to

994
00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:55,600
Speaker 1: make sure we have an NFL ready head coach who

995
00:48:55,680 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 1: can come in can relate to our young quarterback who's

996
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,800
Speaker 1: pretty headstrong and is Baker Mayfield with a more talented

997
00:49:03,840 --> 00:49:06,880
Speaker 1: and more mobile Baker Mayfield. Of all the ways you

998
00:49:06,920 --> 00:49:09,399
Speaker 1: can go. Remember he was on the radar a couple

999
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,480
Speaker 1: of years ago to the left Oklahoma for USC. Lincoln

1000
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,840
Speaker 1: Riley get you out of things if you're USC and

1001
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:18,400
Speaker 1: maybe there's some kind of money situation, they can figure

1002
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 1: out where hey, we're not paying out the rest of

1003
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 1: your payout, but us he can print money, So it's okay,

1004
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 1: we can figure this out if the Giants come calling.

1005
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,680
Speaker 1: Because I'll tell you what, that's one of my first

1006
00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,960
Speaker 1: phone calls from the Giants too. Who do we want

1007
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: to come in? That I know as a track record

1008
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:34,560
Speaker 1: with quarterbacks, that could be someone that jump into New

1009
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 1: York has handled the big firestorm Lincoln Riley. Well, certainly

1010
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 1: USC's had their share of lawsuits that they've had to

1011
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,280
Speaker 1: navigate through the years as well. In addition to whatever

1012
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,799
Speaker 1: is left on that rumored one hundred million dollars, like

1013
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,960
Speaker 1: when John Gruden had the one hundred million dollar deal,

1014
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 1: Like I really wanted to see the actual PaperWorks, like

1015
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 1: is it really?

1016
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:56,359
Speaker 3: Is it really?

1017
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 1: Are there a bunch of contingencies? I don't know, but

1018
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see. And I like the cut of

1019
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:04,600
Speaker 1: your Jim right, it's bold. Mayava has been great in spots.

1020
00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:10,359
Speaker 1: The backup quarterback clearly can throw a pass high, Jersey gate,

1021
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:14,280
Speaker 1: all of those things that come through. Yeah, that play

1022
00:50:14,320 --> 00:50:19,160
Speaker 1: that they used against Northwestern subtenly getting apologies from the

1023
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 1: conference office and the officiating for the chicanery there. But

1024
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, he has navigated through a lot of fires.

1025
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 1: He's not been fired on the tarmac just yet. Mayava

1026
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:37,560
Speaker 1: has been solid seventeen and six touchdown to interception ratio,

1027
00:50:38,160 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 1: well over two thousand passing yards. And you look, they've

1028
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 1: had some clean games of late and they're still in

1029
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:49,520
Speaker 1: the mix right at two losses. They're still potentially there

1030
00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: to make some noise, still a couple of spots on

1031
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 1: the schedule to navigate. But it is curious, right because

1032
00:50:56,360 --> 00:51:00,040
Speaker 1: Lane Kiffen's name has been linked to every job and

1033
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 1: immediately he's only going to get one of them, and

1034
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 1: literally got linked here immediately, so he falls off the

1035
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,920
Speaker 1: list on one of these would be futures and to

1036
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,560
Speaker 1: the high as bidder they go. But the thing is

1037
00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,000
Speaker 1: he was a disaster the first time around. I mean

1038
00:51:15,040 --> 00:51:17,520
Speaker 1: it was the Raiders, so real Uni position succeed, but

1039
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:20,680
Speaker 1: it was disaster. The obviously knows Jackson Dart very well.

1040
00:51:21,400 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 1: You know you have that s what I'm curious, and

1041
00:51:23,440 --> 00:51:25,160
Speaker 1: I'll just leave it here, is that you've got Mike

1042
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:27,760
Speaker 1: Kafka in place, a guy who has been in Buffalo,

1043
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 1: a guy who's been in Kansas City and has been

1044
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: waiting for a chance. Right, He's been a finalist several times.

1045
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,759
Speaker 1: And as much as everybody wants say, hey, Brian Dabele, well,

1046
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:40,839
Speaker 1: what did kaff could do with Jackson Dart to make

1047
00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 1: him the quarterback that he is right now, it's it's

1048
00:51:43,360 --> 00:51:46,000
Speaker 1: like presumed it was all dable, So all of a

1049
00:51:46,040 --> 00:51:47,239
Speaker 1: sudden he's just gonna get hired.

1050
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:48,319
Speaker 3: Where like, no, no, no.

1051
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:50,759
Speaker 1: I think Kafka has got something to say about this,

1052
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,719
Speaker 1: Like Dabel's gonna come out and say it was Ka

1053
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:54,719
Speaker 1: wanted to kick the field goal. You know what I

1054
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: mean for me from a half yard out?

1055
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 3: He said, kick a coach, it's his offense that like

1056
00:51:59,800 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 3: he did run. Look, I wanted to save him because

1057
00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 3: I ran into the blue tent. Did you see Kafka

1058
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 3: going in there?

1059
00:52:05,719 --> 00:52:05,799
Speaker 2: No?

1060
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:06,560
Speaker 3: You saw me.

1061
00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 2: No.

1062
00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,799
Speaker 1: It's one of those where he's got a second half

1063
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:14,360
Speaker 1: to audition. Now is he dealing with in an inferior

1064
00:52:14,480 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 1: roster at this point? Right in and out of the lineup,

1065
00:52:17,160 --> 00:52:20,200
Speaker 1: Thomas has been hurt. But an offensive line that you've

1066
00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:25,160
Speaker 1: pieced together the running back position between Tracy and singletary. Certainly,

1067
00:52:25,239 --> 00:52:30,280
Speaker 1: is it the same as Scatibo and you're leading receivers wandale. Okay, fine,

1068
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 1: but you go and you make what you can of it,

1069
00:52:32,760 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: so long as Jackson Dart is able to do so,

1070
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:39,000
Speaker 1: because that's been the hard part is sometimes guy's got

1071
00:52:39,120 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 1: to find out you know where those limits are, and

1072
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,839
Speaker 1: you're not a linebacker and you're not Camp Scatabo, he's out.

1073
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:46,640
Speaker 3: You don't get to run through people.

1074
00:52:46,680 --> 00:52:49,280
Speaker 1: Because we watched him do one of those Nelson months

1075
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 1: Simpson's football things several weeks ago where he could have

1076
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,799
Speaker 1: avoided the would be tackler. No, he ran straight at

1077
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:57,040
