43
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 5: I'm not sure that he necessarily even knows what I'm

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:14,240

Speaker 5: all it is.

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 2: That's all it is. Hey, hey, I have a personal

Speaker 2: mana just business. It's less.

52
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 5: Is this on this Saturday afternoon about twenty five, twenty

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 5: six years ago. We'll get to that in a little

54
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 5: bit later, but we have to start off with the

55
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 5: big news in the National Football League this week. The

56
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 5: Carolina Panthers benching Bryce Young. And this isn't just a

57
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 5: normal benching. This is a number one overall pick from

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 5: a draft that happened a little over a year ago.

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 5: Panthers zero and two to start the season. Bress Young

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 5: has yet to throw a touchdown pass in this season.

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 5: How surprised were you that Carolina ended up making this

62
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 5: move so early on in this season?

63
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: You know what, unlike everybody else, what they've been talking

64
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 4: about all week with the bitch of Bryce Young. I

65
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 4: have to be honest, man, I wasn't surprised at all.

66
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I have to be honest. I mean, unfortunately

67
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 4: for him, you know, he's twenty three years old, he's

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 4: already had you know, two different head coaches and three

69
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 4: offensive coordinators in a nineteen game span, and that's not

70
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 4: good for any quarterback. But I do also feel that

71
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 4: the organization, I think they're starting to realize that they

72
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 4: got it wrong. They traded up from the ninth pick

73
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 4: to get Bryce Young to the first pick, and you

74
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: know what, you could have had Sej strou Sure, And

75
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 4: I think that really burns that they got it wrong.

76
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 4: And I think they went into this draft process listening

77
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: to Nick Saban and he sold Carolina on Bryce Young.

78
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 4: But you got to go back to college. I mean,

79
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: look at he had a brilliant, brilliant college career, but

80
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: you also have to take into account and look at

81
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 4: the guys that he was playing with. He had a

82
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 4: Mark Cooper, he had Jered Judy, he had Calvin Ridley.

83
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 4: If you go back and look at those games when

84
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: he was playing in Alabama, he wasn't making contested throws.

85
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,119
Speaker 4: He didn't have to be accurate to get these guys

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 4: in football because these guys were so talented.

87
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 2: That they were four and five yards wide open.

88
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 4: So all he had to do was get the ball

89
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 4: up in there, and these dynamic playmakers were making plays

90
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 4: for him.

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 5: You know, it's funny because you mentioned Saban, and I

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 5: agree with you along these lines. It's always surprised me

93
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 5: that we have these. I guess we hold it against

94
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: Ohio State prior to CJ. Stride that they couldn't it's

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 5: an NFL quarterback. But it wasn't like Alabama had this

96
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 5: murderer's role. You know, Tua was still young yet we

97
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 5: you know mac Jones was a first round pick, but

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 5: it wasn't. It wasn't like Alabama was just producing quarterback

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 5: after quarterback after quarterback.

100
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 2: Is that all Nick Saban getting Bryce Young at number one?

101
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: Or do you think there was just the fact that

102
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 5: we have this you know, crush on Alabama and we

103
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 5: assume that everybody with a Crimson tide's going to succeed

104
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 5: at the NFL because history doesn't show that.

105
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:35,799
Speaker 4: I think it was more on the the the finished

106
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 4: product from Ohio State quarterbacks going to the NFL, and

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,599
Speaker 4: I think Carolina made that decision based off the history

108
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 4: of the quarterbacks that were drafted from Ohio State going

109
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: to the next level. I really believe that, I really do.

110
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: I don't think it was more Nick Saban. I think

111
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:00,120
Speaker 4: it was Carolina doing their research, the due diligence with

112
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 4: scouting and saying, you know what, the quarterbacks moving on

113
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 4: from Ohio State in the next level, they haven't done well.

114
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 2: And I also say this.

115
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: People may not like this what I'm i about to

116
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 4: say about Bryce Young, but I believe his stature and

117
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 4: if with him going out and playing at this level

118
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 4: is his major deficiency.

119
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 2: Man, I just believe he's too small. I really do.

120
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 4: You have to play him in the shotgun and if

121
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 4: you look at when he gets pressure up the middle,

122
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 4: he can't see. If you look at that scene route

123
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 4: that interception he threw last week, he was throwing to

124
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: a spot. I don't mean, I don't even believe that

125
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,720
Speaker 4: he saw the wire receiving. Now the field and the

126
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 4: first player of the game againsh I believe it's the

127
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 4: New Orleans Saints.

128
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 2: I don't believe the young man can see. He wouldn't

129
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: come out and admit it.

130
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 4: But he has to be in an office where they

131
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 4: can move him around, getting him out of the pocket.

132
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: He can't play on the center. He has to. If

133
00:06:57,800 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: you look at him in the shotgun, he's.

134
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 4: Like seven US deep just to see and and I'm

135
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: trying to vision him, you know, making these plays with

136
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 4: a Michael Strahan standing in front of a JPP or Justin.

137
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: Tuck or Ocean you and you are. They're not even

138
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: really trying to sack them.

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 4: They're just pushing them back, getting their hands up, and

140
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 4: they're smothering them.

141
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,239
Speaker 2: He can't see down the football field.

142
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 4: And everybody says it's not about size, but at the

143
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 4: quarterback position it is. And I have to be honest,

144
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 4: I played this game for a very long time. Some

145
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,119
Speaker 4: of those presses that he's getting up in the middle,

146
00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 4: you know those you know, the the Justin Herberts and

147
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 4: the Patrick Mahomes and Eli Manning.

148
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 2: These guys who.

149
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 4: Are six four, sixty five and sixty six, they can

150
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 4: they can take a rush coming up the field and

151
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: still deliver the football. Soon somebody breaks through the pocket

152
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 4: in the middle. He has to get out of the

153
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: pocket because he can no longer see. And I'm telling you,

154
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 4: I'm looking at some of the throws that he making,

155
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 4: these defense alignment and these defense ends, they're they're they're

156
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: getting pushed in the pocket, they're getting their hands up

157
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 4: and a young man just can't see over top of them.

158
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 5: It's funny because we just we've kind of laid this

159
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 5: out in the last five minutes, you feel that Carolina

160
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 5: felt like we don't want to follow up the history

161
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 5: of an Ohio State quarterbacks, so we're going to stay

162
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 5: away from that. Yet, when we talk about short quarterbacks plaques,

163
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: the only quarterback we talk about is Drew Brees, and

164
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 5: that's because I feel like it's the only quarterback we

165
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 5: can talk about. Any quarterback of a of a smaller stature.

166
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: Drew Brees obviously is the high mark. But now it

167
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 5: doesn't pay a lot to compare anybody to Russell Wilson.

168
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 2: Right now. Bryce Young is not Kyler Murray, completely different.

169
00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 5: So when we're talking about that type of quarterback, the

170
00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: only person that we can say is Drew Brees. And

171
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 5: while Breese is on another planet for the type of

172
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 5: quarterback that he was else, I think it says a

173
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 5: lot on how many smaller quarterbacks didn't make it work.

174
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 5: And that's maybe while we're seeing Bryce Young have the

175
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 5: difficulty to your point of being just five ten.

176
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 4: But look at the offense that Drew Brees was in.

177
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 4: He had a running game, Sean Payton was a great

178
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 4: play caller. A lot of those passes that Drew Brees

179
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 4: were throwing. They were quick game. He was getting the

180
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 4: ball out quick to the sideline, and he had a

181
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 4: pluth through of good wide receivers.

182
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: But at the.

183
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: Same time, he was in an offense that fit that

184
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 4: fit his size, and.

185
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 2: Sean Payton was a great play caller. Bryce Young doesn't

186
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: have that.

187
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 4: He's already had two head coaches in a nineteen games

188
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 4: man and three offensive coordinators.

189
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: So he's not.

190
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 4: Going to have a rapport with the play calling and

191
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 4: the wide receivers and the offense. And Carolina has to

192
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 4: be beating themselves up and David Temple, all those guys

193
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 4: got it wrong.

194
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: And where did it go from here? I'll tell you

195
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: what I think.

196
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 5: Andy Dalton is starting this week, not only because Bryce

197
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 5: Young has been so bad. I think that Dan Morgan,

198
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 5: being a former player as your GM, because I think

199
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 5: the decision came from above.

200
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: The way that Dave.

201
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 5: Canalis sounded on Sunday was different from how he sounded

202
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 5: on Monday, and I know he wants to take responsibility

203
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 5: as a head coach. But whether it came from Temper,

204
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: whether it came from Morgan, whether it came from whoever,

205
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: you need to have something good happen to this team,

206
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 5: and that's why I think Andy Dalton is starting on Sunday.

207
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 5: Aside from being dead last in points and yards this season,

208
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 5: it was a team that was thirty first in points

209
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 5: last year, thirty second that's dead last for those not

210
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 5: in the know, and yards last year, and twenty ninth

211
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 5: in points. So this is now, you know, nineteen games

212
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 5: basically of Bryce Young's career where this team has been

213
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 5: a rock bottom. You just need something good from it.

214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 5: That's why I think that the decision came from above.

215
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 4: I mean, young men, it's only average in one hundred

216
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 4: and seventy three passing yards a game, eleven touchdowns and

217
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: thirteen interceptions. I mean, if you look at Dan Morgan's career,

218
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: what position did he play? Linebacker? He played linebacker. So

219
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 4: he understands what Bryce Young is going through right now

220
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: because he is seeing their offense through his eyes from

221
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 4: a defensive standpoint, and he knows what the deficiency is

222
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 4: from Bryce Young. It's not that he can't play the position.

223
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 4: I really, he's just too small of a quarterback to

224
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 4: play in this league. And you know, throw guys open

225
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: and to be accurate and to put the ball where

226
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 4: it's supposed to be where where whas he can only

227
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 4: get it and he doesn't have that at this level.

228
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,880
Speaker 5: I don't think it's time is over in Carolina just yet.

229
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 5: I'm not saying to wrap it up is a rap.

230
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 2: You think it's a rap.

231
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: I think it's a rap. I don't think you go

232
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 4: back to him. I mean, what are you gonna do.

233
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: You're gonna put him back on a football field and further,

234
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, let him lose his confidence. And from a

235
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: locker room standpoint, I don't believe the guys think that

236
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 4: he's the best option for them to win. I believe

237
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 4: everybody is looking at Andy Dalton in practice sure, and

238
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 4: they're saying Andy Dalton gives her the best chance to

239
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 4: win on Sundays, and that's what they went with.

240
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: If you if you lay out this scenario though, this

241
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 5: is why. This is why I think there's still some

242
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 5: juice left in the orange. Maybe not a lot, but

243
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: there's some left. If the Panthers win with Andy Dalton,

244
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 5: Bryce Young is not gonna see the field.

245
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: That's that's not gonna happen.

246
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,200
Speaker 5: However, if they don't win with Andy Dalton at some

247
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 5: point this year, you got to make sure because going

248
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 5: in the next year, you're gonna have to draft a quarterback.

249
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 5: So you gotta make sure that everything is exhausted with

250
00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 5: Bryce on you.

251
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: And then there's still there's still the possibility.

252
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 5: And I don't wish this out anyone, and I hate

253
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 5: even putting it out in the universe, but there could

254
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 5: be an injury situation where Bryce Young is needed. Maybe

255
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,680
Speaker 5: this time will allow him to take a step back

256
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 5: and absorb some of the stuff that he wasn't able

257
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 5: to as that starter, that main guy from day one.

258
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 4: I mean, take a step back. We're in the pocket.

259
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:25,360
Speaker 4: I mean, what is he What's he gonna do? Get

260
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 4: further away from the line. I don't think that he's

261
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 4: going to go in a game on Sunday. If Andy

262
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 4: Dalton goes down and he's gonna play any better, He's

263
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 4: going to be in the same same offense. I've always

264
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: said that the best teacher in this game is, you know,

265
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 4: standing on the sideline and watching and being an observer

266
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: and learning the game and seeing it from the sideline.

267
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: But I don't think.

268
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: That that that in this instance is going to help

269
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: Bryce seng O this football team. Wow, you just drafted

270
00:13:55,720 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 4: a quarterback Number one two years ago, and you are

271
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 4: in the position they are going to be in the

272
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 4: position of having a first pick in the NFL Draft.

273
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 4: You dress drafted a quarterback with a number one pick

274
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 4: two years ago, and you have the number one pick

275
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: staring you in the face, and come next April, what

276
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,200
Speaker 4: do you do if you're the Carolina Panthers.

277
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, you have to take a quarterback. If you have

278
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 5: to take one, whether it's Schador or whoever.

279
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: Well, Carson Beck or Brought, whoever it may be, you

280
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,960
Speaker 4: have to take a quarterback. You cannot bench this man

281
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: two years into his career, going to next season and

282
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 4: hoping and hoping that you're going to have a better outcome.

283
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 2: I don't see that happening.

284
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,040
Speaker 5: There is one move, and it's not that I disagree

285
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 5: with the Dave Canalis move to Andy Dalton this week.

286
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 5: There is a move though that Dave canallis talked about

287
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 5: that they won't be making that I agree with. This

288
00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 5: is what Canalis said about the possibility of dealing Bryce

289
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 5: Young this season.

290
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 2: This was earlier this week. That's not something we're really considering.

291
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 5: You know, we have a great situation with our quarterbacks

292
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 5: right now, with guys that have experienced. So we love

293
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 5: where we're at, and we're all all hands on deck.

294
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: We're folks on playing the Raiders this week.

295
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: Okay, so he said, yeah, I was gonna say, but

296
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 5: I love where we're at.

297
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,080
Speaker 2: Is not truthful.

298
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 5: I like to say he has more caps than lids

299
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 5: on that one plaques.

300
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 2: That's my that's my line. But the point is, you

301
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: can't trade Bryce Young right now because his value is

302
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: at the absolute lowest.

303
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 5: It would not get You couldn't get anything for Bryce

304
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 5: Young right now.

305
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: Are going to them who exact exactly exactly.

306
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 5: So so while he's saying they're not looking to deal them,

307
00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 5: I wouldn't trade them either. Like there's at least if

308
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: you wait a month, maybe some people may forget what

309
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 5: they've seen in the first two weeks of the season.

310
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: Now is not the time to do so. I don't

311
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: think the Dolphins want to take on a reclamation product.

312
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 5: I don't know you project. I don't think that the

313
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 5: Rams are looking Jimmy Garoppolo is going to come off

314
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 5: of r These are just teams that have been talked

315
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 5: about as possible abilities.

316
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: There's it doesn't even make sense to trade him right now.

317
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 4: Man, the harsh reality of what Canal has just said.

318
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 4: You can't trade him. Nobody's going to uh trade for him.

319
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 4: So what are you going to look at? Colina pensis.

320
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 2: You can't trade him, Where's he going to go?

321
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 4: It's a project waiting to happen all over again at

322
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 4: the first pick, and they they're just they're just beating

323
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 4: themselves up and saying that, you know what, this might

324
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 4: be one of the worst trades in NFL history, from

325
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 4: the ninth pick to the first pick. QUI Bryce Young

326
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 4: and come this April NFL Draft, they are going to

327
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: be in a situation where they're going to have the

328
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 4: number one or number two pick and they're going to

329
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 4: have to take a quarterback. And what are you going

330
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 4: to do with Bryce Young moving forward? He's just going

331
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 4: to be a backup quarterback. I really believe for the

332
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 4: rest of his career. He's plexical Birds. I'm Dan Byer.

333
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 5: It is up on Game And to make your final

334
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,120
Speaker 5: point about that trade, it's been talked about this week,

335
00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: but the Panthers still ode bears the second round pick

336
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 5: from the deal coming up in April. I know it's

337
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 5: absolutely nuts. It is up on Game livefrothetirek dot Com Studios.

338
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 5: I guess short quarterback seems to be the theme. That

339
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 5: seems to be the theme because there's a situation developing

340
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh where Russell Wilson just may not get his

341
00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 5: job back. We'll discuss that. He's Plexico Burus. I'm Dan Byer.

Speaker 5: I'm Dan Byer in for LeVar Arrington and TJ. Huschman

349
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:55,080
Speaker 5: Zada on this Saturday edition. Upset could be bringing in

350
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: Columbus at least early. Marshall's on the board. Brian Fenlan

351
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 5: eleven up Gold, Marshall coming up in just a little bit.

352
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 5: We'll dive more into college football and the rivalries and

353
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 5: whatnot in about twenty.

354
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 2: Minutes or so.

355
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 5: And to tease the story, as plex says go, Marshall,

356
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: Plexico Burros had some success on the field. That Marshall

357
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 5: had some success on the field about twenty six years ago.

358
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,879
Speaker 5: That completely broke my heart. We'll talk about that in

359
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 5: twenty minutes or so. I got to get the inside story,

360
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 5: but that's for another time. We're gonna focus on these

361
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 5: short quarterbacks because it seems to be a theme.

362
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: From Bryce Young to Russell Wilson.

363
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 5: We go completely different story for what's happening in Pittsburgh.

364
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 2: Now, the Steelers got some bad news today.

365
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,239
Speaker 5: Troy Fatano, their first round pick right tackle, goes down

366
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 5: with a knee injury and practice yesterday.

367
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: Basically the third start of the Steelers.

368
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 5: Have now lost on their offensive line this season, and

369
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 5: we're only two weeks in. We don't know how long

370
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 5: he's going to be out of action, but he will

371
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 5: not play tomorrow against the Chargers. That two to zer matchup,

372
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 5: justin fields is going to get the start. Mike Tomlin

373
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 5: always towing the line the right way and explaining on

374
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: how they're handling Russell Wilson's injury. But there is a

375
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 5: report from Jerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post cause atte

376
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 5: prior to even week two plaques that the Steelers were

377
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 5: planning to start Justin Fields in Denver and then also

378
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 5: in this game against the Chargers. So that begs the

379
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 5: question with another win on Sunday for Pittsburgh put Russell

380
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 5: Wilson further away from ever getting his starting job.

381
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 4: You know what, I know Mike Tomlin very well, and

382
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin is a rhythm guy, especially at the quarterback position.

383
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 4: He is going to go with the team a quarterback

384
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: that has a continuity together at that time. And Justin

385
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: Fields has only thrown for two hundred and seventy three

386
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 4: yaws in two games and a touchdown, but he has

387
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 4: no turnovers. He's completing sixty nine percent of his passes.

388
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 4: But he's two and o and it's the first time

389
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 4: in his career from the first two games of the

390
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: season and that he's been over five hundred. So you

391
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 4: look at the situation. If he was only two with

392
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,440
Speaker 4: two hundred and seventy three yards passing touchdown, Russell Wilson

393
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: will be starting this week, sure, But I always say

394
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 4: that it's easier to, you know, correct situations or issues

395
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 4: that you're have in with your team when you're winning,

396
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 4: but when you're losing and you have issues, you have

397
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,680
Speaker 4: to find a way to get him corrected immediately. Maybe

398
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 4: the Steelers aren't playing their best football offensively, but when

399
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 4: you're winning games. That's what counts in his league. He's

400
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: two and oh and I believe that, you know, he's

401
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 4: gonna he's going to get better.

402
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 2: He has a great young offense.

403
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: I believe that George Pickens is one of the most

404
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: dynamic wide receivers in all of football that he doesn't

405
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 4: get credit for. And he plays in Pittsburgh and he

406
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 4: plays in a run our first offense. But I believe

407
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 4: for Justin Fields, if he goes out there this week

408
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,880
Speaker 4: and he wins a third game, don't I don't think

409
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:12,119
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin is going to take Justin Fields off of

410
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 4: the football field and put Russell Wilson, you know, back

411
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 4: in the football game. Troyano, he's out. Justin Fields is

412
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 4: ten years younger. Maybe they miss a few blocks, and

413
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,160
Speaker 4: Justin Fields as an athlete can use his legs, get

414
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,879
Speaker 4: out of the pocket, make plays, you know, you know,

415
00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 4: because he's so gifted as a quarterback. But I believe

416
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,720
Speaker 4: that if he goes out and wins this game tomorrow,

417
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:49,040
Speaker 4: offensive for the Pittsburgh steel is that unless Justin Fields

418
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 4: just goes out there and stinks it up, he is

419
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 4: going to be the starting quarterback for this football team.

420
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: If he continues to win. Listen, if Justin Fields can

421
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 4: go out and get the Pittsburgh Steelers twenty four twenty

422
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: seven points a game, I don't believe that that many

423
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 4: offenses in his league that are going to score twenty

424
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 4: four plus points on this Pittsburgh defense.

425
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 5: Sure, sure, and then and heck was scoring down in

426
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,320
Speaker 5: this league. I mean, it's gonna make it even difficult

427
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 5: for teams, especially if TJ.

428
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:20,920
Speaker 2: Watt and Cameron.

429
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 5: Hayward and other guys are playing at top at the

430
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 5: top of their game. My question, though, is something that

431
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 5: you kind of you know, led the point with when

432
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 5: you're talking about Justin Fields. If they do start winning again,

433
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 5: this is a city that wants Super Bowls. I mean,

434
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: it's six berg right, this is this seventh seed, is

435
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 5: the wild card. Doesn't necessarily live up to the expectations

436
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 5: with the Steelers. So my question is on the Justin

437
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: Field side of things, at what point do you open

438
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 5: it up? Ran more against the Falcons than he needed

439
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,719
Speaker 5: to against the Broncos.

440
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,119
Speaker 2: Only had eight carries in that Broncos game.

441
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 5: But again, this is a team that had six field

442
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 5: goals in the first game, scored just thirteen points a

443
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 5: week aldgo against Denver. At some point, you do have

444
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: to score a little bit more than the eighteen and thirteen.

445
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,439
Speaker 5: As you're saying, if you put twenty four up, do

446
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: you expand Justin Field's passing game? Do you expand him

447
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 5: in the running game? If he is your guy, how

448
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,600
Speaker 5: do you get to that twenty four point level?

449
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: I believe he's going to get better. I mean, I mean,

450
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 4: I really do. I mean it's only been two games

451
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,919
Speaker 4: into the NFL season. Not a lot of reps in

452
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 4: the preseason with this new style of coaching that that

453
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 4: these coaches have because a lot of guys aren't playing

454
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,719
Speaker 4: in the preseason, so it's still young. I really believe

455
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: that that Justin Phield is going to be better in

456
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 4: this offense. They're going to have to open it up

457
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 4: and they will. But you know what, just win, baby,

458
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: That's what Al Davis say say. If you win ugly,

459
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 4: the check goes in the left hand call him instead

460
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 4: of the right hand column.

461
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 2: And that's all they care about in Pittsburgh.

462
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 4: Are we considering, you know, the Pittsburgh still is to

463
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 4: be a super Walklintendo whatnot. But just go out and

464
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 4: win football games. Don't lose a game, if you justin

465
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 4: fields manage it, you know, don't turn the football over

466
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 4: and you know, let's just defense, go out there and

467
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 4: get stops and hold team to under twenty one points.

468
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 5: Do you think it's sustainable? Do you think this way?

469
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 5: I mean is man? Guess you are. It's the AFC North.

470
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,520
Speaker 5: I mean, that's just how it is. It's a low.

471
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 4: Scoring division when when they play divisional games, if you

472
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: look at these games that they're you know, twenty to thirteen.

473
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 4: I mean, this is the best defensive conference in the football.

474
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,399
Speaker 4: So you're going to have to find a way to

475
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 4: grid it out and be physical in the run game.

476
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: In the AFC North, I would say the only team

477
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 4: in the AFC North that depends on passing to win

478
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 4: football games in Cincinnati Bengals. Other than that, everybody else

479
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 4: is a run first offense.

480
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:05,280
Speaker 5: I I just think they're gonna need a little bit more,

481
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 5: and you.

482
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 2: Know, they'll get it. They'll get it. They'll find it.

483
00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 5: It's got and it's got to either be from Justin

484
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 5: Field's legs or Justin Field's arm. And I have more

485
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:19,359
Speaker 5: confidence in his legs. But then what does that do

486
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: to the George Pickens of the world who's maybe not getting.

487
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 2: The football as much they did. They did show some good.

488
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 5: Chemistry in their game against the Falcons, so I shouldn't

489
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,400
Speaker 5: necessarily say that, but Pickings had to make a couple

490
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 5: of all world catches, uh.

491
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: Right, in those he does he does every Sunday. Yeah,

492
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,399
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, Justin Fields is still young. In

493
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,680
Speaker 4: his offense. He's two and oh. He hasn't turned the

494
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: football all over and when he was in Chicago, that's

495
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 4: what he was known for, throwing in exceptions, fumbling the football,

496
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 4: giving it away to the other team. And he's not

497
00:25:51,400 --> 00:25:55,000
Speaker 4: doing that. When you're two and oh. You could, if

498
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 4: you're the office coordinated, you can look at the schedule,

499
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 4: you know, prepare for these d fences and put him

500
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: in situations where he can be successful. And that is

501
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 4: exactly what Mike tom is going to do. He's not

502
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 4: going to, you know, be outside of the box, drop

503
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 4: back and throw the ball forty to forty five times

504
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 4: with Justin Fields because he's not that kind of quarterback.

505
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 4: They are going to play into the strengths of what

506
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:24,439
Speaker 4: Justin Fields does well and long as they keep winning,

507
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: it doesn't even matter.

508
00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 5: I want to run my theory by you, because I

509
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,879
Speaker 5: think it's a legitimate theory. It's not just something that

510
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,679
Speaker 5: I cooked up and said, I'll just throw this and

511
00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 5: see if it sticks against the wall. Let's see the

512
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Post Gazette report from Jerry Dulac was prior to

513
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 5: week two, they said Fields is going to start week

514
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 5: two in week three. I don't in week three. This

515
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: week tomorrow is their home opener. I think from what

516
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,240
Speaker 5: they did in week one with Fields winning in Atlanta,

517
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 5: that they didn't want to put Russell Wilson in a scenario,

518
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,439
Speaker 5: even if he was healthy plaques to make his debut

519
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,879
Speaker 5: in the home opener and throw a stinker up against

520
00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 5: the Chargers, and I think.

521
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:06,840
Speaker 2: It bought them more time.

522
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 5: Where now, if you win in Denver, which they did,

523
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 5: then they were two and oh, now you can ride

524
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 5: that momentum at three and oh. But if they were

525
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 5: to say we're gonna take this week by week and

526
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 5: Russ is healthy this week and was able to play

527
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,920
Speaker 5: against the Chargers and he doesn't perform well, I think

528
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 5: you've lost Russell Wilson for the entire season.

529
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: I don't think that situation at all. I mean, I

530
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 4: really don't, you know, you think that.

531
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 2: I believely say that Russell Wilson.

532
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: If Russell Wilson was healthy, he would have been the

533
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 4: day one start, because I would believe that Mike Tomlan

534
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,679
Speaker 4: came out and said, basically said that Russell Wilson was

535
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 4: going to be a start, but he wasn't healthy, and

536
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:53,439
Speaker 4: so the injury provided Justin Feels an opportunity. And listen,

537
00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 4: nobody expected him to go down to the land and

538
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 4: win a football game, and nobody expected him to go

539
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 4: on a demo and win that football football game that

540
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:00,880
Speaker 4: they did.

541
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 2: But I believe that they were owing.

542
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 4: To that that Russell Wilson, if he's not one hundred percent,

543
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 4: that he would be.

544
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 2: The starter this weekend.

545
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:15,480
Speaker 4: But it's just it just so happens that the injury

546
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 4: afforded Justin Fields's opportunity and he's making the best of

547
00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 4: it because those were two football games that I.

548
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:22,439
Speaker 2: Didn't think they were going to win.

549
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 4: I gotta be honest with you, And now in two

550
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 4: and oh going going into week three, and if he

551
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 4: goes in and to the home opener tomorrow and he

552
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 4: wins that football game, Mike Tomlin is not going to

553
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 4: break up this offense. He's not going to insert Russell

554
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 4: Wilson in week four after three and zero. If Russell

555
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 4: Wilson is one hundred percent, Mike Tomlin is not going

556
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 4: to do that.

557
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 5: But and and that, and that's that was my theory

558
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,400
Speaker 5: actually of going into week three is if you go

559
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,440
Speaker 5: to because they had won in Atlanta, I actually thought

560
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 5: they were going to beat the Broncas. I just there's

561
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 5: no way they were going to lose the Bonecks. You know,

562
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 5: even though it was a thirteen to six rock fight

563
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 5: sort of game. There was no way that they were

564
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,800
Speaker 5: going to lose that game. And I think this allowed

565
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 5: that cushion to give Tomlin a bit of space to

566
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 5: be like, okay, this reports out there now. Tomlin didn't

567
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,720
Speaker 5: say he was going to start for two weeks. But

568
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 5: to your point is now it allows Fields to keep

569
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 5: rolling and they can do whatever they need to do

570
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,479
Speaker 5: with Russell Wilson. I actually think Russell Wilson needs to

571
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 5: go into ato a scenario, and it may not be

572
00:29:26,880 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh nowt Plax, but he needs to go in and

573
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 5: save the day somewhere else. He can't go in with

574
00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 5: expectations to do something if he's going to resurrect or

575
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 5: have any more juice in his career. And he's not

576
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,960
Speaker 5: in his mid thirties, so who knows on how many

577
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 5: years he still has in his career.

578
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: But he's going to have to come in and be.

579
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 5: The guy to maybe save a dour situation or sour

580
00:29:48,040 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 5: situation instead of being the guy that you actually put

581
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: hope in. Because it didn't work in Denver and right

582
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 5: now there's nothing to show for it in Pittsburgh. Maybe

583
00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 5: he can go save the day in Carolina.

584
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, he can't go down there and say today,

585
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 4: because that's getting ready to turn into the Titanic down

586
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: in Carolina.

587
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:10,840
Speaker 2: But I'm just looking at Russell Wilson's situation.

588
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he's ten years older than Justin Fields, and

589
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 4: I can almost guarantee you that Mike Tomlin and this

590
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: organization they bought Russell Wilson in to be the starter. Yeah,

591
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 4: and it didn't happen, and Justin Fields was basically an

592
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 4: insurance program if Russell Wilson wasn't healthy or if he

593
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:41,400
Speaker 4: didn't go out and play well. But it's a three

594
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 4: sixty of what they wanted to happen at the quarterback position.

595
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 4: And I know Mike Tomlin and his team man in

596
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,959
Speaker 4: this locker room. I know the feel Justin Fields is happy.

597
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 4: He's won two games and now down for the first

598
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 4: time in his career, he's able to gather some confidence.

599
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 4: And it's a It's a crazy thing what confidence can

600
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,840
Speaker 4: do to a young player at if you haven't had

601
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 4: it at this level. And now he's starting to believe

602
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 4: that he is a starting quarterback in this league.

603
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 2: And I believe he's going to win again tomorrow.

604
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 5: He's Plexico bursts. I'm Dan Byer, this is up on games.

605
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 5: I'm sitting in for LaVar Arrington and t J. Hushman Jadaz.

606
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 5: We are live from the tirec dot Com studios. Let's

607
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 5: go to the news desk. Brian Finley gonna give us

608
00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 5: an update Plax on what is happening on a busy

609
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 5: day in college football?

610
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 2: Happy Saturday, Brian, how are you?

611
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 6: Yeah? Likewise to you Plaux and Dan and Dan your hopes.

612
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 6: I know you've got those Wisconsin roots, so potentially in

613
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:45,680
Speaker 6: Ohio State upset Special. Early on you pourted that out well,

614
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 6: your hopes of them and Marshall leading and maybe winning.

615
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 7: That sort of simmered and died down.

616
00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 6: Pretty quickly as after Marshall scored the first touchdown. You

617
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 6: can watch this game Marshall versus number three Ohio State

618
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 6: and Fox Television with about six minutes to go. Now

619
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 6: in the first quarter, it was Will Howard throwing a

620
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:04,160
Speaker 6: sixty eight yard screen pass for a score two plays

621
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 6: forty two seconds. This after the Marshall thundering herd had

622
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 6: a thirteen play seventy five yard drive took over seven

623
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,880
Speaker 6: make it almost seven minutes. Ethan Payne on a third

624
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 6: and goal one yard out. He did score. That was

625
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 6: the first score of the game, but Ohio staid quickly responding.

626
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 6: Twenty first rank Clemson against dense State. That's another game

627
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 6: that we are witnessing and watching right now. It is

628
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,200
Speaker 6: twenty one to nothing Tigers as they have overcome that

629
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:34,000
Speaker 6: early season opener blip and put up some big numbers

630
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 6: since Kate Klubnick, the Tigers quarterback fifty five yard touchdown

631
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 6: run along with two touchdowns through the ara thirty one

632
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 6: yarder and a two yarder, so he is dealing. Also

633
00:32:45,880 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 6: in the world of college football, we do have James

634
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 6: Madison in North Carolina. They are battling it out here

635
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 6: and James Madison scoring the first eleven points of this game,

636
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 6: but North Carolina has responded with two touchdowns. They're up

637
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 6: fourteen to eleven late in the fourth quarter. Also, Maryland

638
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 6: as a seventeen to nothing lead against the Villanova They

639
00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 6: just wrapped up the first quarter in to start the

640
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 6: second quarter.

641
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 7: Indiana ten, Charlotte six.

642
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 6: As we're looking at that first window of college football games.

643
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 7: That are playing out in front of us.

644
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,560
Speaker 6: And lastly, guys, in the world of college football, Utah

645
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 6: quarterback Cam Rising reportedly viewed as a game time decision

646
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:25,080
Speaker 6: today against Oklahoma. That is a battle of two teams

647
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 6: inside the top twenty in the nation, and there's an

648
00:33:27,840 --> 00:33:31,520
Speaker 6: injury to his strong hands and so they're not going

649
00:33:31,560 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 6: to make a determination. Plaque and Dan until game time

650
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 6: to see what he can do. But as I worked

651
00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 6: the microphone back to you, this is a Cam Rising

652
00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 6: that I feel like Dan has been a quarterback since

653
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 6: the day I was born.

654
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 7: I think this is year.

655
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 6: Seven for him, and I think he does have another

656
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 6: year if he wants to come back.

657
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 2: H yeah, it is year seven, It absolutely is. He

658
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,680
Speaker 2: has been there forever. I think he's played in like

659
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 2: three different conferences for Utah. You know, it's been he's

660
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:58,200
Speaker 2: been there that long.

661
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:02,080
Speaker 5: It's been it's it's tricky to even say Utah on

662
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 5: the Big twelve now, But a big Big twelve showdown

663

Speaker 2: Plaques.

684
00:35:18,400 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 5: I know you don't know a ton about me, but

685
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 5: I'll fill you in this way. I've been an Ohio

686
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 5: State football fan since I was about seven or eight

687
00:35:25,520 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 5: years old, okay, mid nineteen eighties, all the way through,

688
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:32,359
Speaker 5: and things weren't necessarily great. And I have always said,

689
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,040
Speaker 5: people will say, what's your worst loss in your career,

690
00:35:35,080 --> 00:35:35,560
Speaker 5: It's got to be.

691
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,560
Speaker 2: A Michigan loss, just like you.

692
00:35:37,719 --> 00:35:41,120
Speaker 5: I hate the Michigan Wolverines with everything in my all

693
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:45,400
Speaker 5: fibers of my being. But the loss that actually stings

694
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:49,120
Speaker 5: the most wasn't a close loss to Michigan and nineteen

695
00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:51,480
Speaker 5: ninety six or any of the games that we've had

696
00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 5: in the in the ninetiars or maybe the past three

697
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 5: years that Ohio States had. It was in nineteen ninety

698
00:35:57,040 --> 00:36:01,560
Speaker 5: eight when your Michigan State spartans you, Nick Saban, went

699
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 5: to Columbus rallied from I think you scored eighteen unanswered

700
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 5: something like that, some crazy number and go and beat

701
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 5: the buck Eyes twenty eight, twenty four and what I

702
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 5: thought was Ohio State's best team. I'll still argue that

703
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 5: they made their best team since I've been a fan,

704
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 5: but that upset is one that I still think about

705
00:36:22,280 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 5: to this day. How your Spartans went into the shoe

706
00:36:25,080 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 5: with knocked off the buck Eyes. What do you remember

707
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 5: from that November afternoon twenty six years ago.

708
00:36:30,080 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 4: What a beautiful day, What a beautiful day for Spartan lands.

709
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 2: I remember getting back.

710
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 4: To the airport and all the fans were at the

711
00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 4: airport and we went into this game. You know, nobody

712
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,120
Speaker 4: expected us to go and go and the win. And

713
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,239
Speaker 4: Julian Peterson started his first game, I think out of

714
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 4: junior college.

715
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,720
Speaker 2: That game, he had one of those games.

716
00:36:55,880 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 4: It was like four sacks, strip fumble or covered from me,

717
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:10,880
Speaker 4: two batted balls. In the era of Julian Peterson was created.

718
00:37:08,239 --> 00:37:11,760
Speaker 2: And they had the number one secondary in the country.

719
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 4: They had Gary Barry Moore, they had Antoine Winfield.

720
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 2: So we went into this game. I went into the

721
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 2: game taking it very personal.

722
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 4: I was saying to myself, listen, I know that Antoine

723
00:37:22,320 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 4: Winfield is one of the most physical gifted corners en

724
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 4: college football.

725
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 2: But I just thought he was too small for me.

726
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 4: And in the first quarter of that game, I believe

727
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 4: I had four catches for like one hundred and four

728
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 4: yards in a first quarter. Right, I said, well, they

729
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:42,080
Speaker 4: got a problem because Antonine Winfle can't cover me. And

730
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 4: then so they started doubling and we got the ground

731
00:37:45,640 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 4: game going with Cedric Irving. He scores in the fourth

732
00:37:49,280 --> 00:37:54,560
Speaker 4: quarter and we was getting stops and rinaldo' hill sealed

733
00:37:54,560 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 4: it with that interception. I believe on David Boston a

734
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 4: great defense, great car by Nick Saban.

735
00:38:00,040 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 2: What a day. Yeah, joj remain through the interception. He

736
00:38:02,640 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 2: was looking for d Miller.

737
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 5: That's actually who it was. I still remember it to

738
00:38:05,600 --> 00:38:08,479
Speaker 5: this day. Fourth and ten from the fifteen. I'm glad

739
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,240
Speaker 5: we could be friends now, but that day we weren't.

740
00:38:11,280 --> 00:38:13,160
Speaker 5: And you got the best of the buck eyes. He's

741
00:38:13,200 --> 00:38:17,040
Speaker 5: Plexico Burrus. I'm dan byer Eli Manning a Hall of Famer.

742
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,520
Speaker 5: But when plus college football, that's next
