Speaker 1: dot Com. Haley Onassist dot Com. So here we are

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: Monday Night football. The Steelers with the football and uh

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: just about two twenty left to go. It's a twenty

20
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: eight fifteen lead for Pittsburgh. The on side kick nearly

21
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: worked out for the Dolphins. Adam Thielen just bounced off them. However,

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: Heyward able to fall on top of it. So the

23
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 1: Steelers have the football. One first down is going to

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 1: end this, but we are gonna have the two minute

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: warning and the Dolphins still have a couple of timeouts left,

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: so still a little bit more execution for the Steelers

27
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 1: to win this game.

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite on side kicks. I've seen.

29
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: It's a good kick, all right, that spinning, whirling dervish

30
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,839
Speaker 3: Tasmanian devil like a fool the hell out of theling

31
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 3: when you come in bad right underneath him, and he

32
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 3: had no idea how to judge it.

33
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: You know.

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: The thing is is, there's the way you see so

35
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: many players with on side kicks. Now, you see the

36
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: old way always would been, I'm gonna come down kick

37
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: the top of the ball and you hope to get

38
00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: a big bounce. Yeah right, you have to get a

39
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: big bounce. That's kind of out because you know players

40
00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: feeling that ball, it's a little bit easier. You also

41
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 1: have the forward momentum where even if the guy doesn't

42
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: catch it, it's gonna go out of bounds. So it's

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: a really difficult thing to try to just hey, we're

44
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: gonna get the hop.

45
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 3: Or by time the hop comes down, it's gonna get

46
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 3: blown up. Yeah, it could be like on both sides.

47
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 3: It's it's a problem.

48
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the thing is to see on this is

49
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: that watching the kick when you can kick the kick

50
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: the ball and it's it's bouncing around on the side

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: and it's a bigger target, Like that was the whole thing.

52
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: This is a ball that that's that's side spinning, that

53
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 1: feeling doesn't get and so it just bounces away from

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: him like and it stays on the field because you're

55
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: kicking it that kind of way. Like I think that's

56
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,839
Speaker 1: that's what you got to see. That's like the way

57
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: of oh, okay, you can kick it like that, you

58
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: can you get much more fourth downs. But again I

59
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: wonder what sometimes what some kickers work on, because not

60
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: everybody can kick it like that, and every single field

61
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 1: goal kicker, every single kicker, should be able to have

62
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,640
Speaker 1: an on side kick down. Pat at this point, find

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: some way this is gonna give us the best chance

64
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 1: of recovering an on sidekick. I don't know why.

65
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,519
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always wondered because going to traveling training camps

66
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 3: like I used to do, guys are just kind of

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 3: sitting around most of the time. I remember Robbie Gold

68
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 3: used to just drive around the cart to deliver water, Like.

69
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: Could you be working a little harder? Yeah on something,

70
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 1: Thanks for the water, but like, how about you work

71
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: on army Like you're there for a couple hours.

72
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 3: I know you can't keep driving fifty yard field goals

73
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 3: for two hours. I get that, but now you're just

74
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: driving a cart around. And he was great, one of

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: my favorites. And you know, I lamented his departure for

76
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 3: many years when he was kicking for the forty nine ers,

77
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 3: but it was just to kind of thing. If he

78
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: was emblematic of what kickers across the league were doing.

79
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 3: That's a lot of wasted time get back to, you know,

80
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: operational efficiency as everybody starts thinking about their own workplace practices.

81
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: On sidekick, as we said, doesn't work out, but it

82
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: also doesn't work out for the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers slides

83
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: down rather than try to throw the football into traffic

84
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: and risk an incomplete PAS makes it fourth and thirteen.

85
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: The Dolphins use their final time out, so they have

86
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: no timeouts left, but Brandon Eckles is able to down

87
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: the subsequent punt at the three yard line of the Dolphins,

88
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 1: so to in company have two to four to get

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: the length of the field touchdown on sidekick length of

90
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: the field touchdown, and then hey, we got a game.

91
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 3: He's got a big arm. I mean, it's.

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you outdated here. Yeah, what you got,

93
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: frost Pop delaying your apology? Just get to it. I

94
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: got what you to it. This is what's happening now.

95
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: Justin go back and watch video the Chargers beating the Chiefs.

96
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 1: Go ahead and do that my thumbs just.

97
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 3: Really quick though. The guy that like flipped the ball

98
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: back former Northwestern Wildcat bench Coronic. You go, hey, he's

99
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 3: had a nice long career in the NFL. So again,

100
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,599
Speaker 3: two minute warning.

101
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Now that the Dolphins have a rushing play for their

102
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 1: first play, Okay, all right, old strategy, Come on, why

103
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 1: not Mike McDaniel.

104
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 3: Now you're thinking maybe maybe this is the one.

105
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, this one will get him ninety seven yards and

106
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: won't be expecting it. Oh no, no, well they'll take

107
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 1: us out of the two mint the warning.

108
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it.

109
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: So Philip Rivers returned to the NFL a day ago. Now,

110
00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: I want to be accurate. I want to be accurate

111
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,360
Speaker 1: and I want to be correct, So just say your

112
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: so as I said, stop I said last week, I said,

113
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: no one wants to be more wrong about Rivers coming

114
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: back than me. This this comeback against the against the Seahawks,

115
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: not the week two. It's going to be awful. He's

116
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: forty four, he hasn't played. What are we really going

117
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: to get now? He finished the game, stayed up right,

118
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: He put him in the chance to win the game. Right,

119
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: You need a sixty fifty six yard field goal from

120
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: Jason Myers. Your defense played out of their shoes offensively.

121
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: You got what you you got enough from the game.

122
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: But six field goals fifty six yard or a little

123
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: bit too much. Rivers, of course, had to juice the

124
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: ball down the field. The last pick I'm not going

125
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: to put on him. You got you only have thirty

126
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: seconds or twenty seconds to get down the field. You

127
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: need something to get into field goal range, so you

128
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: have to kind of take a chance on that throw.

129
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: It was an overthrow, okay, So I want to be

130
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 1: accurate about this. I was very happy to be sort

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: of wrong on Philip Rivers because how he looked. To

132
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: be honest about how Philip Rivers looked, he looked like

133
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: a quarterback that most teams have where the backup gets

134
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: no reps because the starter gets all of them, and

135
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: he is thrust into play at a moment's notice, and

136
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: you get as good a game as you could expect

137
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: from him in that situation. Meaning I don't expect him

138
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 1: to come in and throw four touchdowns, but hey, can

139
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: we get down the field enough. Can we be in

140
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: a position and maybe steal a game where offensive we

141
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: just don't look like we're absolutely bereft of everything. And

142
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: that's kind of how Philip Rivers played yesterday. He played

143
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: like a like when when Lamar Jackson gets hurt and snoop,

144
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,160
Speaker 1: someone else has to come in right when when Torod

145
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Taylor gets hurting, Brady Cook has to play. Whatever it

146
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: is when a backup quarterback with no reps comes in

147
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,680
Speaker 1: and is thrust in right away in a short week

148
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: preparing for a game, you would expect, Hey, what's your

149
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: realistic best case scenario? It was how Philip Rivers looked

150
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: on Sunday. We moved the ball didn't look great, not

151
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: like Rivers went for three twenty and three touchdowns, like

152
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 1: move the ball a little bit. Still was a little

153
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: slow in the pocket. You know, you can tell his

154
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: accuracy wasn't there the reason why he was retired. But

155
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: he looked better than expected, better than I thought he

156
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: was gonna be. But that's exactly what it was. He

157
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: looked like that kind of quarterback that well, if you

158
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 1: told the Colts you're gonna get this kind of week

159
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 1: where you're gonna score fifteen sixteen points and you're gonna

160
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: have a chance to win the game because your defense

161
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 1: is gonna play well, your office is gonna light the

162
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: world on fire. You know, he's not gonna be great,

163
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be serviceable enough where you don't just

164
00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: tank it and say, well good luck. Will try to

165
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: figure it out for next week. Maybe Riley Leonard is back,

166
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: maybe Anthony Richardson comes back, whatever it is. But that's

167
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 1: what you saw from Rivers. That was the best case

168
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 1: scenario you could see, like a backup that was thrust in. Hey,

169
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: that's as good as we could expect a guy to play.

170
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Richardson now cleared to get back to work,

171
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 3: so that came out today. Leonard was off the injury report,

172
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 3: so in theory he should be good. But you look

173
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 3: at Rivers on the balance, was it overwhelming. No, you

174
00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 3: didn't expect it to be. He finishes eighteen to twenty seven,

175
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 3: just one hundred and twenty yards, but made the plays

176
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: they needed and put him in position to win the game.

177
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 3: You get a big kickoff return, and nowadays, you know,

178
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: we extole the virtues of and lament the accuracy and

179
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: the aptitude of these kickers to be able to bomb

180
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,719
Speaker 3: through stuff. In the mid fifties, once upon a time

181
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: you had like three guys in the game that could

182
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 3: do that right, You had Janakowski, Praterer, and then you'd

183
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 3: have a random guy that would come in right. And

184
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 3: over time, now it's become the norm that you could

185
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: at least tap into that with virtually every kicker. So

186
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: unfortunately you end up on the down side of it.

187
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: But when it's all said and done, I indict the

188
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,239
Speaker 3: effort of the Seattle Seahawks.

189
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed for them because that's all that's all the

190
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: excuse making. You know, started to was like, well they're

191
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: looking ahead to Thursday. It's like you still have to

192
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: win this damn game. So to suddenly say, well, we

193
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,239
Speaker 1: didn't take it seriously.

194
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:25,199
Speaker 3: This isn't the NBA with eighty two games where guys

195
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 3: don't play, guys don't show up. No, everybody played, and

196
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: you all should run a bunch of extra laps or

197
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: do something as penalty for a How do you not

198
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 3: get at him? You had one sack, You had a

199
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 3: couple of things where he was crumpling down, like when

200
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 3: he had to when he had to move.

201
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 1: It was not pretty. Why are you not blitzing on

202
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:50,439
Speaker 1: every every overload, every single if you could beat us downfield,

203
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: have at it.

204
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,680
Speaker 3: But but all of that to say, it's like, look

205
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 3: for folks that want to dismiss it, and we keep

206
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 3: going in the it's the indictment.

207
00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: Of the colts.

208
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 3: How about it's the indictment of the rest of the

209
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 3: en that there's not a guy that you say, Okay,

210
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: he might be better physically, but it's so hard to

211
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: come in and learn the system whatever that we're not

212
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 3: gonna bother, you know.

213
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: I remember I remember Jerry Glanville telling this story. Was

214
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: it was really funny. Yeah, when Joe Namath was at

215
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 1: the end of his cret He played that very briefly

216
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: with the Rams when he thought, Hey, I'm gonna go

217
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: out to Hollywood and be a big, big TV start

218
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: everything else. He goes play for the Rams and like

219
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: his first or second game, I think they played whoever

220
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 1: Jerry Glanvill's defensive coordator for maybe the Falcons and Leeman

221
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: Bennett was the head coach right, and it was just

222
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 1: absolutely awful for Joe Namath. Like he got hit, he

223
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: got sacked a whole bunch of times and everything and

224
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: it was just a really bad like it's one of

225
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: those where all the video highlights of Joe Namath with

226
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 1: the Rams, like we're from this game. It's like, oh

227
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: my god, Joe, like he couldn't run anymore, he had

228
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,199
Speaker 1: no more mobility everything else. And he told a story

229
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 1: where I remember Jerry Glamville telling the story where he

230
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: said that after the game, the coach said to me,

231
00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: because he was a defensive coordinator, he said, hey, uh

232
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 1: do you did you? You blitzed you know Nameth a lot, right,

233
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Like you made sure you blitz the Nameth a lot

234
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: in this game. And he said, I said to him, coach,

235
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 1: I think there was one play where I did not

236
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 1: blitz him like we blitzed him on every single play.

237
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: I think there was one play we did not blitz him,

238
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and I think he said it was like the end

239
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: of the half and thought they'd throw a hell Mary.

240
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: That's the only play they didn't blitz him. All mass

241
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: said splits him every single time.

242
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 3: But that's what I thought we'd see. I mean, you

243
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 3: had we talked about it on Friday show. I mean,

244
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,160
Speaker 3: and I was hoping for the best, which I thought

245
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 3: that the Colts could still win the game, and they

246
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 3: were there, but that you would attack. They were what

247
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 3: fourth or fifth coming into this weekend's game with forty

248
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 3: one team sacks. They got him once.

249
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And here's the other part is that

250
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 1: maybe there was a quick because now Philip Rivers has

251
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 1: already been named the starter for Monday Night football against

252
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: the Niners, already already that he's been named the starter

253
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: for next week. I don't know if this was one

254
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 1: of those Hey, if you come out and play, we'll

255
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 1: guarantee you a couple of weeks. But if you are that,

256
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: if you are the Colts, you want to say, Okay,

257
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard is clear he's maybe coming back. Anthony Richardson,

258
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,559
Speaker 1: as you said he was coming back, and you still

259
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: have three games left the regular season. He'll never come back.

260
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: Not that you're going to keep Anthony Richardson, but boy,

261
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to put him out there? Wouldn't you

262
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: want to put Riley Leonard? Because Riley Leonard came in

263
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: and ran the offense pretty well, you know when he

264
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: came just just for that little bit in relief of

265
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. So I don't know if this was the

266
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: case of where, hey, we promised Philip another game or

267
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,680
Speaker 1: we promised him to start the rest of the way,

268
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: but you would think for them the rest of this season, it's, well,

269
00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: we really we want to get guys on the field

270
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,760
Speaker 1: that can maybe get us to more points. Right, So

271
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 1: it's kind of it's it's I think there's a little

272
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: more drama surrounding Rivers comeback than you think, because it's

273
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: not like you suddenly let the world on fire. He's

274
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: a great it's a great story, but let's not get

275
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: it confused that. You know, he looked like a guy

276
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 1: that was thrust in and at the minute you can

277
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,760
Speaker 1: get back to your old quarterback, you go back there well,

278
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: the other part said that that was for River.

279
00:12:57,920 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 3: That maybe you don't like either of those other quarterbacks,

280
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 3: and you realize that the playoffs are are a distant

281
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 3: past in terms of your aptitude and ability. So now

282
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 3: it's the all right, let's just finish out the string.

283
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: By the way, again, San Francisco terrible rushing the passer.

284
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: So for Philip hey Man, he was able to stand

285
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 3: tall against the Seahawks, should be able to sit in

286
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,240
Speaker 3: the pocket knights and clean against forty nine ers.

287
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 1: A Christmas gift for us, we got some football. Was

288
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 1: easiestly the softest apology I've ever heard of my life,

289
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: because I was only sort of wrong. I was only

290
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: from here. I was only sort of wrong. I didn't

291
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: have to fully apologize. I was sort of right, do

292
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: you I was? First of all, they lost the game. No, no,

293
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: you thought he was going to be. They lost the game.

294
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: They lost the game. He did everything he said he could.

295
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:48,079
Speaker 1: He threw one hundred and twenty yards. I thought he

296
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:49,599
Speaker 1: would know for about one hundred and twenty yards he

297
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,839
Speaker 1: said he could. He didn't know he did.

298
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 3: By the way, the over under on his passing yards

299
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 3: was one hundred and fifty three pig Fay.

300
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: He wasn't even closed. I was sort of wrong. I

301
00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: was sort of wrong. You were very wrong. I was

302
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: sort of I would know I'd be very wrong if

303
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 1: he went for two seventy five and three touchdowns and

304
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:06,599
Speaker 1: they won thirty one twenty three, that I would have

305
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: been one hundred percent wrong.

306
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: No, I had people that don't care about football that

307
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 3: were texting me, going, this is not the greatest story ever.

308
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 3: It's like I stopped watching when they left Sandy. Yeah,

309
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: I mean, look and all that stuff. Let's understand this.

00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,920

355
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: starts like he was recording it, like at RKO Studios

358
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: and he was in there to do the song and

359
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: people waved to him because he knew and he just

360
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: started off by saying happy Holiday, and then somebody else

361
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: walked by, Happy Holiday, and.

362
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 3: They just went into a song. I mean, this is

Speaker 3: God's pretty good.

364
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,920

00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs are out of the playoffs. Patrick Mahomes

389
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:11,280
Speaker 1: tears his acl already has undergone surgery for the torn

390
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: acl already, Not like I have to wait a week.

393
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 1: got hurt yesterday, surgery today. Now. The good news for Mahomes,

394
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: good news for the NFL is that they're not going

395
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. We're good news for NFL fans. They're

396
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: not going to the playoffs. You killed Mahomes, Frostburg, just

397
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,399
Speaker 1: so you know, you guys.

398
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 3: Trying to speak that into him for a long time.

399
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: You guys did it.

400
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 3: He glulied him in the final minute of the game.

401
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: Because remember, the Chiefs are kind of like the Yankees,

402
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 1: in which, yeah, hey, so many fans are root against

403
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: having them in the playoffs, but Yankees cheat the playoffs

404
00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600
Speaker 1: because well, yeah, they have the umpires on their side

405
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 1: all the time. You saidn't know, you see the ball

406
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: strike calls the Yankees again. Uh, you just can't do

407
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 1: anything like, oh, Aaron Judge really didn't catch that line drive.

408
00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: We can't just give them it out. He had possession.

409
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs would have had that overturned. He had possession. Yeah, yeah,

410
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: he made a baseball move. Yeah, there would have. There

411
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: would have been some kind of interference penalty on the

412
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 1: Dodgers hitting the ball.

413
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 3: Well because he was on his glove long enough for

414
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: two strides and an extra baseball related attempt.

415
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:15,439
Speaker 1: You got to get that third foot down. You get

416
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,360
Speaker 1: the third foot down in the end zone, and then

417
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: he's got.

418
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 3: Such an arbitrary thing. How you doing there, Isaiah?

419
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: Likely so he's already answered, which is good news. And

420
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: we've heard earlier today that he avoided the worst type

421
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 1: of ACL tear, that the rest of his knee is intact,

422
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's able to get so. Not

423
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: that I'm a doctor, but going by judging off of

424
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,120
Speaker 1: anterior cruciate ligaments injuries the last twenty five years, when

425
00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: you can undergo your surgery early, that's great. That means

426
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 1: you can start your rehab earlier. You don't have to

427
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 1: wait for swelling to go down or anything else around it.

428
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: That's good news.

429
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 3: It's also nice to be a football player because you

430
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,199
Speaker 3: can get that scheduled. Really fat it is, it is.

431
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 3: I mean, I just gotta call what it is having

432
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 3: dealt with you know, some some healthcare fund myself, Carmen.

433
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we can get you in problem sometime in twenty

434
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: twenty eight. I believe I've been opening in February at

435
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: nine by Joe Burrow take on the seventeenth. Yeah, you know,

436
00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:14,400
Speaker 1: but don't cancel it. You know we're gonna we're gonna

437
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: make sure you're in every month for the rest of

438
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: the next two and a half years. If you fail

439
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: to respond, you're not You're losing that though. So that's

440
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: good news. Now. The thing is a little bit of

441
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: a different take on the chiefs of what you've heard

442
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 1: over the course of the past twenty four hours. I

443
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: remember when when Colorado deon Sanders first year, when they

444
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: were winning in the first month and they owned September. Right,

445
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:42,600
Speaker 1: You'll always have September last year, Dion, You'll always have that, uh.

446
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: And everything was great, wonderful for the for the Colorado Buffaloes,

447
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: everything was great. And then they started losing and they

448
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,639
Speaker 1: haven't stopped losing. And Dion at a press conference, I

449
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: think they at some point where you knew they they

450
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,479
Speaker 1: were out of the running for the for not just

451
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 1: for the playoff. But they weren't gonna be a top

452
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 1: twenty five team. And I vividly remember dion Ada's weekly

453
00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: press conference saying, I'm gonna tell you this, get us now, right, like,

454
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: get us now, like oh, because I'm gonna be the

455
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 1: big bad guy on the block to go out and

456
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: get all the gall the big players to come in,

457
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,640
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna get all the best players and we're

458
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: gonna run roughshot over everybody else.

459
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 3: Well that has twenty I got drummed forty two to

460
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 3: six by Oregon.

461
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 1: But I remember him saying, get us now, get us now.

462
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: That's the case for the Chiefs. If you think next

463
00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: year is going to be anything like this, right, I've

464
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: been your Chiefs whisper all year long, so well, I'll

465
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: gut it out into next year. Told you a great

466
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: year for Mahomes. Struggle for the Chiefs to make the

467
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 1: playoffs because other teams are younger, more talented, more athletic,

468
00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: they're hungry, or the AFC is better. And that's exactly

469
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: what happened. But you know there's gonna be big changes

470
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: in this offseason for the Chiefs. They're got a lot

471
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: of guys making a lot of money, they've got a

472
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: lot of guys who aren't making that money next year.

473
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 1: The fact that Mahomes already had surgery tells me that

474
00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: he'll be back for next year. And it's not even

475
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 1: really gonna be close. He's already on pace after today,

476
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: they say he will be able to start Week one

477
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 1: right now. Maybe we don't see him as much in

478
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: the offseason, obviously, but Mahomes has played enough quarterback. But

479
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:11,200
Speaker 1: this is a big wake up call for the Chiefs,

480
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: for everybody from the standpoint of we need to be

481
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: doing it better on the field, to need to be

482
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: taken care of our bodies better on the field. Whatever

483
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: it is you want to make fun of Mahomes, his

484
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: dad bought trust Wait do you see the shape he

485
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: comes in to the season with next year.

486
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:28,400
Speaker 3: But even still, look how mobile he was and how

487
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 3: much his ability to run. And that's where tell me

488
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 3: you watch a highlight and read a box score versus

489
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 3: watching a game where he extended a lot of plays

490
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 3: and drives because he had to because they had no

491
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: running game and a bad offensive. And it's not it

492
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 3: wasn't even that he had to extend plays, it's that

493
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 3: he had to make first down right, because what he

494
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 3: used to do was what he was. He was great

495
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,200
Speaker 3: buying time waiting for Tyreek Kill to get open downfield

496
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,160
Speaker 3: or pointing to a spot where he wanted Tyreek Kill

497
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 3: to run to, and I would throw you the fiber

498
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 3: of the five hundred yards side to side against the

499
00:22:58,240 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: Bucks and super I.

500
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: Mean, yeah, he was a lot more I'm running the

501
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: football to run for a first down than I am

502
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm keeping the play alive, right, you know that's what

503
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 1: Mahomes did more this year. They played this week with

504
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 1: fourth string offensive tackles, not exactly what the Chiefs rode

505
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: up when they said, hey, what do you see December coming? Yeah,

506
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 1: I see Mahomes playing in front of guys that we

507
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 1: don't want them out there. So yeah, it's it was

508
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: difficult this year, but with a lot of guys do

509
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 1: money that they're gonna be able to get out of

510
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,199
Speaker 1: for next year. You see, this is going to be

511
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: a completely different Chiefs team next year. It's going to

512
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: be new offensive line and almost to the to the

513
00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:39,679
Speaker 1: to the point they had when they lost to the

514
00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:41,560
Speaker 1: Bucks in the Super Bowl, they realized, Okay, we have

515
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 1: to go bigger on the offensive line. We have to

516
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: make big changes, and they did. What happened. Hey, they

517
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:47,640
Speaker 1: went to a couple of Super Bowls. They won another one.

518
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 1: All right, great, we got it, We got it. But

519
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: they need changes on the offensive line. They need a

520
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 1: number one running back. They need another number one or

521
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 1: a one A wide receiver. They need a number one

522
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,360
Speaker 1: tight end. They will go out and get all of them,

523
00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,159
Speaker 1: because all of them will want to come to Kansas

524
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 1: City to play with Mahomes. I have no doubt in

525
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: my mind. They will get Breise Hall somehow. They will

526
00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: go get a wide receiver who either will turn Rashi

527
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 1: Rice into the one A or he'll be the one

528
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: A to Rashie Rice, who is flash at times like

529
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: maybe he could be a top five, top seven receiver

530
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL. They will get a tight end to

531
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 1: replace Travis kelce who's done. And I mean I get that.

532
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey's a great soap opera and it is he

533
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: gonna play?

534
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 3: Is he not?

535
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: But Travis Kelcey has done How many times this year

536
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: have you saw the headline, Oh, a big Travis Kelcey

537
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: drop in the fourth quarter really hurt them, or a

538
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,560
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey drop that turned into a deflicted interception wound

539
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: up killing the Chiefs three games this year. Travis Kelcey's

540
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 1: had huge drops that cost them games. He's going to retire.

541
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 1: I get he wants to come back and play with Mahomes.

542
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,120
Speaker 1: But the Chiefs know they have to do better. They

543
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: have to do better at the big weapons, they have

544
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,040
Speaker 1: to do better on the offensive line. They are going

545
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: to clear out next year, and with my Homes already

546
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 1: on pace to come back, and they feel pretty confident

547
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: he'll be there for Week one under center, this is

548
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: going to be an off season. You have not seen

549
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: an off season of revenge for the Chiefs. As they say, Okay,

550
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:13,960
Speaker 1: you think we've been pretty good. Now, way do you

551
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,199
Speaker 1: see how we revamp things for the rest of Patrick

552
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 1: Mahomes's a career, the second half of his prime, where

553
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,640
Speaker 1: maybe we are not relying him to run for first

554
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:24,639
Speaker 1: downs as much and it's more going to keep plays

555
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: alive because we have guys will break open downfield. We

556
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 1: tried for a couple of years and just throw a

557
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:30,640
Speaker 1: bunch of guys out there. Well, guess what has it worked?

558
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 3: Zavi?

559
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: You're worthy as a gadget guy. Did work. Rice was

560
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: pretty good, but crushing them with the big mistake he

561
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: made driving the suspension for the beginning of this year,

562
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: that hurt them. They started out two and four. It

563
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: was a bad beginning. They know we have to be

564
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: bold and make big change in the offseason, and I

565
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: have no doubt in my mind they will be like

566
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 1: the Patriots in the aughts and the early teens, where

567
00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 1: it's hey, one team's misfortune with a star player that

568
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: maybe is getting paid a little bit too much money.

569
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 1: We can offer them a draft pick and they want

570
00:25:58,040 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: to get out from under that. And now all of

571
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a reclamation project. A tight end who

572
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,120
Speaker 1: can turn into a star. You mentioned Kyle Pitts's name

573
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 1: a little while ago. It's a Breese Hall from the Jets.

574
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: That may the Jets are really starting over. They're really

575
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna pay Brisall. He's a guy that wants out. Okay,

576
00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:14,639
Speaker 1: we can make that move for you as well. They

577
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:16,879
Speaker 1: are gonna be a lot of moves for the Chiefs

578
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: to make. So yeah, get them now, because next year

579
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 1: it's going to be a completely different team. It's gonna

580
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:24,639
Speaker 1: be a much more dangerous team and a bigger and

581
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: better team than they said. Right now, get in the

582
00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: rest of the season. Yeah, I mean you got opportunity.

583
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 3: Pitts becomes the easy name, and it's the recency buys

584
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 3: off the potential. But finally executed in week fifteen, right

585
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 3: the three touchdown performance that he had at a big

586
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,159
Speaker 3: Thursday night standalone, Isaiah likely well, Mark Andrews got paid,

587
00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 3: Isaiah likely's not getting paid by the Ravens, and you

588
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 3: go on down the line. There are a few other

589
00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 3: potential tight ends out there, and maybe that's the only

590
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: way I think Kelsey could come back is that he

591
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 3: can't be the focal point. He's a guy that can

592
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 3: be once in a while play kind of thing. If

593
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 3: he wants to continue his run, then sure, you take

594
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 3: a pay cut and you can stick around and be

595
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 3: part of a machine as opposed to he had to

596
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: be the lead guy oftentimes and we saw how that failed.

597
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: So whether you cut ties all together, he decides he's old.

598
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 3: Whatever that, you get through it, but you've got to

599
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 3: retool the offensive line. First thing is you mentioned the money.

600
00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 3: You got eleven guys making at least eleven million dollars.

601
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 3: Top two guys you got Chris Jones scheduled to make

602
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: forty four million against the cap next year. Yeah, so

603
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 3: we watched his play. We saw spats multiple times early

604
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 3: this season and certainly late in terms of decisions he made,

605
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 3: in terms of paths trying to get to a quarterback,

606
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 3: taking himself out of plays. Remember justin Herbert sliding down

607
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 3: and we weren't focusing on him because we had drama

608
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,680
Speaker 3: on the defensive line. No, you got to keep the outside,

609
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,959
Speaker 3: you gotta keep containment, all of that. But you got

610
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 3: Patrick mahomes is gonna have to restructure. He's his cap

611
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,400
Speaker 3: hit is seventy eight million. Oh, I'm sure he'll right,

612
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 3: he'll restructure, and it's not there. But that's where it

613
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 3: becomes the creativity. There's a few guys that they'll don't

614
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,640
Speaker 3: still shake off, like the Rocks on the yard and Josh, hey,

615
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 3: it was nice, congratulations, you got a title or two.

616
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: You're done.

617
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 3: But at the top end, those two guys complete restructuring

618
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: to try to free up some money, and the cap

619
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 3: will go up, of course, and.

620
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: It's not gonna be where the Chiefs just say who's

621
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: the best player out there and they can sign them

622
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 1: to a long term deal. It's gonna be that opportunistic. Oh, well, hey,

623
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 1: I'm smelling blood in the water with you because your

624
00:28:31,480 --> 00:28:33,440
Speaker 1: team is not really good and you have this wide

625
00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,359
Speaker 1: receiver that we can fit them in for a year,

626
00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,240
Speaker 1: or you want to move on from this player for

627
00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: whatever reason, and we'll bring him into Kansas City and

628
00:28:40,760 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 1: suddenly it's gonna be great. Like when the Patriots went

629
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:44,640
Speaker 1: out and got Randy Moss, or they went out and

630
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:47,440
Speaker 1: got Wes Welker. Well, all the moves they made to

631
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: help Tom Brady around, Boy, that worked out. That move

632
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 1: seemed to work out. That move seemed to work out.

633
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: That's kind of what the Chiefs are gonna do. It's

634
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,520
Speaker 1: not gonna be the case of, hey, who's the best

635
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,760
Speaker 1: wide who's the best wide receiver, best tight end, best

636
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: running back is gonna be on the market. It's gonna

637
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 1: be moves they're gonna make involving draft picks and getting

638
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: down and being able to save some money with those guys.

639
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a big aggressive off season for Casey.

640
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, for Kansas City, for Beach, for Andy Reid if

641
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: he sticks right. That was something we talked with Jason

642
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 3: locking for about find that in the podcast that full discussion.

643
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 3: Uh in terms of that part of the potential equation

644
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 3: that needs to be solved as well. But yeah, all

645
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 3: eyes on the cheeks, because really the only thing you

646
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,160
Speaker 3: can count on is the Raiders are gonna do things wrong.

647
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 3: The other two teams you're fighting at this point.

648
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,800
Speaker 1: Everybody, but at least you have the one team, at

649
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: least the one Yet much as paying you to say this,

650
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:40,080

Speaker 1: goscar or not.

760
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,400

766
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: in the AFC North. They have a little bit easier

767
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 1: schedule than the Ravens the rest of the way, but

768
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:25,960
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna come down to the final week

769
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,080
Speaker 1: and the Steelers Ravens final week of the season, which

770
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 1: is the way it should right come down. But I

771
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:34,000
Speaker 1: know they won, and I know Aaron Rodgers played okay,

772
00:35:34,040 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: so you know, second second time in a row he's

773
00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: played okay after some really bad games in a row.

774
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: Sounds like you're really getting to get ready to throw

775
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:40,319
Speaker 3: out a big butt.

776
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,360
Speaker 1: But I love them, and they're gonna win the Super Bowl,

777
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: no shocking. The Steelers still stink. They're just okay. I

778
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,759
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, I know that I don't have

779
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: a list in front of me, but I know that

780
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,880
Speaker 1: I can see a worse eight and sixteen than the Steelers.

781
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 3: Oh are you doing that? Give me the worst eight

782
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:58,040
Speaker 3: and Steelers that last?

783
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: And I pressed by saying, I don't know, go back

784
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: and say eight and six teams where they are. But

785
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: I can't believe they're eight and six and they haven't

786
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:08,920
Speaker 1: really beaten anybody. Okay, they can't run the football. They

787
00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,320
Speaker 1: can throw the football average, but everybody can throw the

788
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: football average. They play defense, Okay, they don't play defense

789
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: that well. They're an average team. And here they are

790
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: at eight and six. They're still not very good. Right.

791
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,200
Speaker 1: There is absolutely zero NFL team in the playoffs. That's

792
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,799
Speaker 1: gonna say, hey, we really don't want to play them.

793
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,040
Speaker 1: We're scared of the Steelers. Nobody is scared of playing

794
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh in the playoffs. In fact, they were looking at

795
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs, all the playoff teams going, Man, if things

796
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:40,319
Speaker 1: lay right, froust, we get the Steelers in that first

797
00:36:40,320 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 1: playoff game, that's the game we want. Even though we're

798
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 1: on the road. The Chargers are saying, hey, we'll get

799
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: the Steelers on the road in the playoff. Oh, we'll

800
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: get that w man. We just went in to Kansas

801
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 1: City and ended their season. We'll get win an end

802
00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,840
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers' career. Okay, check, Nobody is scared of playing

803
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:55,400
Speaker 1: the Steelers.

804
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 3: Now we're talking about hurting Aaron Rodgers. Nobody doing no.

805
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: Well, he's gonna retire after this year, that's what they

806
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 1: in his career on the field, he's not going to play.

807
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:04,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if Philip Rivers plays another couple of weeks.

808
00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,839
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers is suddenly gonna feel reinvigorated.

809
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,720
Speaker 1: Rogers takes five years off and comes back.

810
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 3: When he's also looking at things going, well, we're eight

811
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:12,880
Speaker 3: and six.

812
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 1: Still waiting for your apology to Philip Rivers. We'll get

813
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: I had my accurate Philip Rivers apology. We'll get into

814
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:23,319
Speaker 1: it again next hour. No accurate time.

815
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: Steelers are still like right in the meaty part of

816
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,800
Speaker 3: the curve in terms of points per game twenty four.

817
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,120
Speaker 1: Per accurate like a Jets quarterback. Oh no, no more accurate

818
00:37:33,120 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: than that, Like Jets aren't accurate at all.

819
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 3: No, that's not good for anybody to But well, your

820
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 3: guy had a couple of big throws. I know his

821
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 3: family got excited, so that was good. But for Aaron

822
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:47,080
Speaker 3: Rodgers in this offense, it's dink and dunk. It's scheme

823
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,720
Speaker 3: and a lot of yak. So for Arthur Smith today,

824
00:37:50,760 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 3: they took advantage of what the Dolphins gave them, a

825
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 3: lot of four five yard passes and sprints to daylight.

826
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 3: Can that happen over the course of an AFC playoff

827
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 3: against this particular grid. I think there's opportunities, right, Do

828
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: I think they go on a run?

829
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:07,719
Speaker 1: No?

830
00:38:07,840 --> 00:38:10,160
Speaker 3: I think it's the usual. Hey, they make the playoffs.

831
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 3: It was nice to be your hang a banner for

832
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 3: an appearance. Uh, they're not making a run.

833
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:19,439
Speaker 1: No, this is gonna be the quintessential Mike Tomlin. One

834
00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:21,920
Speaker 1: playoff game and they're done. That's gonna be my That's

835
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: what It's gonna be. One playoff game and they're done

836
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: because the look and maybe not right because it comes

837
00:38:26,760 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 1: down to that final week in a healthy Lamar Jackson, who.

838
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,040
Speaker 3: That's gonna be a different story. How's he getting helped out?

839
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 3: But I mean it was playing football. He's not getting

840
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 3: any hell out here in a couple of ways.

841
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 1: Look to look like he looked a little bit better

842
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: yesterday than he than he did the previous I know,

843
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 1: I'm saying it looked a little bit better and in

844
00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: three looks better.

845
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:46,320
Speaker 3: Sitting at my three.

846
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: Weeks he did look good on your couch in your

847
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: shorts and your in your long sleeve shot. You said,

848
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 1: But like but look, maybe they get in. But if

849
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 1: they do get in, like like, that's it, man. I mean,

850
00:38:57,040 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: this is gonna be yet another Hey, one playoff game

851
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 1: we lose, and it's what do we do for next year?

852
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:05,840
Speaker 1: And the Steelers we're afraid to blow it up because

853
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: we're still a good playoff team, but do we want

854
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: to make big move? And it's what the Steelers have

855
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 1: been stuck in for the better part of a decade plus. Now, Hey,

856
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,240
Speaker 1: we're good enough to get in the playoffs under Mike Tomlin,

857
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:18,520
Speaker 1: but we're not good enough to make a big run.

858
00:39:18,920 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: And we're kind of.

859
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:20,799
Speaker 3: Stuck in that.

860
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,400
Speaker 1: We don't want to blow it up because we're already

861
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:25,359
Speaker 1: pretty good. We want to don't want to risk going

862
00:39:25,560 --> 00:39:30,359
Speaker 1: fully backward. So you're stuck in this continuing cycle that

863
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,319
Speaker 1: goes from yeah, every year we wind up winning nine

864
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 1: or ten games, we play one playoff game, we lose,

865
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 1: and we go home. We're not nearly as good as anybody.

866
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,839
Speaker 1: And that's what's gonna happen again this year.

867
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 3: Final three games at Detroit, at Cleveland, and Baltimore. And

868
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 3: I don't hear everybody getting chesty about Shaduur this week, so.

869
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: We put them. That's kind of be seated a little bit.

870
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, that kind of kind of took a

871
00:39:56,239 --> 00:40:00,319
Speaker 3: hit this weekend. But but all all said, you know,

872
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: for the Steelers as an organization, they want to be relevant,

873
00:40:05,080 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 3: playing relevant football in December. That's been the mantra since

874
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger. It's been a cavalcade of stars coming through

875
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,760
Speaker 3: at the quarterback back positions. Once upon a time, stars

876
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:19,759
Speaker 3: with a capital s and then guys, maybe in a

877
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,839
Speaker 3: diminished form as we've seen the last couple times out,

878
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 3: but you're just good enough to keep grinding away and

879
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:30,080
Speaker 3: until philosophically they change things up and say we have

880
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 3: to bottom out right and absolutely strip it down to

881
00:40:33,840 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 3: the studs and move forward. This is all you're gonna get.

882
00:40:37,239 --> 00:40:41,000
Speaker 3: You're gonna outperform what your evaluation of your roster is,

883
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 3: because they are again right. You look at the roster

884
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,239
Speaker 3: at eight, eight and six right now, it's like I

885
00:40:46,239 --> 00:40:48,840
Speaker 3: wouldn't have expected them there at this point except that

886
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 3: it's tomblin. But that's not quantifiable exit out about a

887
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,080
Speaker 3: Fresco exit swollen dome. So yet another year of boy

888
00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,440
Speaker 3: the steal it. Yeah, tell it Gooes because they're just okay.

889
00:40:59,719 --> 00:41:02,399
Speaker 1: Come up next to tail of two quarterbacks, one who

890
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 1: may be playing his last season for his team. That's

891
00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:06,200
Speaker 1: next Fox
