116
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 3: big stories this year that we've covered on the odd couple,

117
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: including Caleb Williams. I want you to just come clean

118
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: and admit that you were wrong about him, that he

119
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: is that guy. He has elevated the bear stop with

120
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: the with the TICKI tak and the fody numbers to

121
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 3: try to discredit him. Okay, stop doing that. They watch

122
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 3: with your eyes. We talk about it all the time.

123
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 3: There's an eye test. If you don't think that guy

124
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 3: can play, I don't know what you're watching.

125
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,599
Speaker 4: Who said he can't player? I don't know what you're watching. Okay,

126
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 4: here we go. I want to say this to you.

127
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: Williams leads the NFL with six comeback wins after trailing

128
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, and his six winning drives this

129
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 3: season extended his record by any Bears quarterback ready since

130
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 3: the AFL NFL merger, and as a team, the Bears

131
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 3: now have won six games after trailing in the final

132
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 3: two minutes of the fourth quarter, the most in any

133
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,120
Speaker 3: season since nineteen seventy.

134
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 4: The stuff that he's doing and what you.

135
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 3: Throw out to discredit and the and the downsize Caleb

136
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: Williams is talking about his percentage of throws. That is

137
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 3: what you're talking about, or or his accuracy or this

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 3: or that. Dude, It's about winning. I talk about it

139
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: all the time. Everybody can't do that.

140
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 4: I'm not cherry pick.

141
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams is a thousand percent better than the quarterback.

142
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 4: You've been trying to portray him.

143
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 3: Go on YouTube and look, I know exactly what I

144
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 3: say it on YouTube A that he was going to

145
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 3: be benched at the hand that yes, you also said

146
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 3: that they want to saying that his coach liked his

147
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: other guy, and that's all I said.

148
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: I didn't say anything.

149
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 4: So they still like the other guy. Is that what

150
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 4: you're telling me?

151
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: I don't know.

152
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: Now, you don't know what I'm done.

153
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm done good. This is what you're like to speak

154
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,720
Speaker 1: on Bill what you'd like to do? Rob Number one,

155
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: You cherry pick when you want to do stuff. Because

156
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: you sit up here talk about Tim Tebow. All he

157
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 1: does is win at the end. It's exactly what Kayler

158
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: Williams is doing. And I'm not even the difference is

159
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: I'm not mad. I'm talking about when you do this

160
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: the same thing. If Patrick mahomes, well, he just comes

161
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: through it to win. He won the game. So you

162
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: pick and choose when winning matters. You do that all

163
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: the time. But that's just your thing. Oh, it's only

164
00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: winning wins and losses. But then if a certain team wins,

165
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: it's who plays the schedule. Look at their schedule. So

166
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,440
Speaker 1: you pick and choose what you want to do. That

167
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: what I said about Kayler Williams is this team there's

168
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: a higher ceiling. There's room because if Cayleb Williams was

169
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: on target with his strolls, his own coach two three

170
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 1: weeks ago said we're winning in spite of our passing game.

171
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: So I was simply coming in and saying, man if

172
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: Cayleb Williams can be on point more, man if Kayla

173
00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: Williams doesn't have them in situations where they're down all

174
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: these games you just mentioned, why are they down so

175
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: many times with two minutes left? That's all I was saying.

176
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: Cayler Williams was a Heisman Trophy winner, a number one pick,

177
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: touted the best quarterback prospect since Andrew Love, and all

178
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: I was simply saying, we come in, we gotta have

179
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,680
Speaker 1: topics every week, and I would say, man, you know

180
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 1: what this team looks, looks like they could be. Some

181
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: said if he would get rolling, if he would start making,

182
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 1: and that's what we.

183
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 4: Sayn win the division. This is what going to make.

184
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 3: This is one weeks ago when I said it, So

185
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 3: I stand by what I said that Caleb Williams has

186
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 3: a lot to be desired.

187
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: He has come back, he has made some great throws.

188
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,160
Speaker 1: But all I've been saying is the same thing. Somebody

189
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: who ate you or me sit next to him every

190
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: day and said that they had been winning in spite

191
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: of that.

192
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 3: Come on, man, you told said that talking about Johnson,

193
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: you wanted, you wanted to be better.

194
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: But the coach talking about it, Caleb Williams your watching

195
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: and watched he was going to be half I didn't

196
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 1: say that, you did. I said, though, go look exactly

197
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 1: what I said. That's what you said. No, exactly what

198
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: I said. That said that his coach, Oh, he's going

199
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,079
Speaker 1: to be God. And that's say are you kidding me?

200
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: First of all, Kayler Williams. Last season, I was the

201
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: one who said, everybody's coming in. You either look at

202
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:13,600
Speaker 1: him half full or half empty. I looked at him

203
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: half full. And you know I said that because I said,

204
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: and you know it's true. I said he had a

205
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: terrible coach that cost him three or four games? Did

206
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: I not say that? Did I not say that? As

207
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: you like to say yes or.

208
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 4: No question, I don't remember.

209
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 3: Now you don't remember, boy, you conveniently forget stuff. Let

210
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 3: me look it up on you start about it as

211
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 3: we have a producer extraordinaire, robb g How many times

212
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 3: did I say, man, I tell you what Kayle.

213
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: Exactly? Robbie? How many times I said? Where would that line?

214
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: Thank you.

215
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 7: Say it?

216
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: I said, I remember. My whole point is I said,

217
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: Kaylus Williams rookie year was actually glass half full for me.

218
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 1: That's all I said. And then coming to this year,

219
00:10:55,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 1: you talked about him, not talked about it after I said,

220
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: that's hen Johnson.

221
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 4: Don't like he's kind of a quarter can't what you say?

222
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: What I've said?

223
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: What you did? You just said this the last time

224
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:09,319
Speaker 4: knowledge it admitted.

225
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:09,679
Speaker 3: No.

226
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 1: What I've said was there's room to be desired with

227
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 1: Kayler Williams. I said he's off target. He has the

228
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: number one off targets in the past in the league.

229
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 1: I said, what is completion? Percentage is low? It's fifty

230
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: eight percent age. What mean you can't win up your percentage?

231
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 4: What I mean? What does it mean?

232
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:30,679
Speaker 1: I literally have said the same thing.

233
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: What does it mean?

234
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: I'm about asking you that if the Bears could be very,

235
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: very scary, if Kayler Williams was on point, Jared GoF

236
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: that's completion rate. And guess what, they're not even going

237
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. But what we're talking about, kayleb. So

238
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 1: when I come on after a Monday, after the Bears

239
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: whatever particular week, and we're talking about it, I say, Man,

240
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: the Bears, I don't know about them. I would be

241
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 1: a little worried at times because Kayler Williams hasn't been able.

242
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,959
Speaker 3: He has so much room to grow on what that

243
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,599
Speaker 3: that's literally he's a second year of me. He's a

244
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 3: second year quarterback, the new coach, new offense. So all

245
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: you're watching the games and looking at this because because

246
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 3: I watching this game had for him and you can

247
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 3: make it up, keep going. You can conjured lie on.

248
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: You said make it up. You played them up together

249
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: and for what was going to be benched, you go on,

250
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 4: keep making it up.

251
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: Rob All I've simply said is the same thing as

252
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: coach said that they had won some games in spite

253
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: of him, that he had gotten them down ten points

254
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: whatever it is under team got them down because he

255
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: would missed some throws. Robins free it is on you.

256
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: I don't have this is what you like to do either.

257
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: They're the goats are the greatest thing you've ever seen,

258
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: or their trash. I can come in and be nuances saying,

259
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: oh you fop flop. I know no, you can come

260
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: in and get caught up. I can come in and

261
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: say you, AyL Williams, that didn't it.

262
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 4: Just stand on it.

263
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: You could, I would stand on it.

264
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: Why would I think he's gonna be bitch? You said it?

265
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: I wish I had two more fees.

266
00:12:59,120 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 4: You said it.

267
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: All I've ever said about Caleb is they have been

268
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: They had some games this year they.

269
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 4: That they didn't want them, that they have to clocking

270
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 4: room didn't want them. I thought, that's what you said.

271
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has had some horrible moments of rough moments

272
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: throughout the season, throughout the particular week. If I saw

273
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: something on a Sunday, I came in, talked about it

274
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: on a Monday, what's wrong with that? I came in

275
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: saw it on a Sunday, said, man, they won that

276
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: game in Spider him the defense got some opportunistic turnovers,

277
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: or man, thank God for the running game. That's all

278
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 1: I said. I analyzed what I saw the night before,

279
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: or the day before.

280
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: Or the weekend before. He had glasses because you've bossed

281
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: on Caleb Williams.

282
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 3: That he gets irrational talent and it's ridiculous. Literally, no

283
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 3: suspect you gave william So you're not mad.

284
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 1: You're mad because I wanted the generational talent to start

285
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: playing like a generation the second year won a new code.

286
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: So mad new coach because I come in and say, man,

287
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: it's general rational talent. I want him to start playing

288
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: like to fail.

289
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 3: And that's what you want to because this is your

290
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 3: inner your inner self didn't want him to play well

291
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: because you still have the Lions.

292
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: And you don't want to want you wanted him to

293
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: be bad. I wanted him to be bad so that

294
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 4: the Lions could win a division.

295
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 1: Yes, no, I believe I don't care about us in

296
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: our guard watched the game because he's.

297
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 4: In the way of the Lions.

298
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: Literally just said he's going to be there for you.

299
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: I just told who's that you can you like to

300
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: make up these guards and teams. I didn't not say

301
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the worst quarterback ever. I said there

302
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: have been multiple games this season where they could have

303
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 1: they could have been put out a better performance if

304
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 1: he played well, and sports that a short men to

305
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,479
Speaker 1: use that selective.

306
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 3: Age seven seven ninety Fox eight seven seven about I

307
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 3: don't care how you've been with that season. We'll continue

308
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 3: that conversation next with you. It's better than putting up

309
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: phony percentage number.

310
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Don't do couple.

311
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,360

357
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 6: talking about Yes, when Ben Johnson said we're winning in

358
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,639
Speaker 6: spite of our passing game, they forgotten the quotes before that.

359
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 10: So let's get into that.

360
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,560
Speaker 6: And then all of our past catchers we just harped.

361
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 9: On the day.

362
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 6: We need to be more disciplined than our route detail.

363
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 6: Thank you not where it needs to be, our deaths

364
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:28,840

365
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 6: a role to play. Thank you, past game up, So

366
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 6: why does that always get conveniently left out? And when

367
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 6: the Wings become like the most hated quarterback, it's getting weird.

368
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 4: It is I know what it is. Shack he is?

369
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: He is?

370
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: Why could because he paints his nails and a lot

371
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,440
Speaker 3: of people can't get over it.

372
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 4: They brought that up. They can't.

373
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: They don't have to get up, they don't have to

374
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,720
Speaker 3: say it shocked. That's the reason he's a different guy.

375
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,400
Speaker 3: I hear people say he wears bell bottoms.

376
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 1: What they're wearing bail bottoms right now? No, But I'm

377
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:03,760
Speaker 1: just saying, like I hear people say that like he's

378
00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:05,520
Speaker 1: I genuinely didn't think he was the most hated. I

379
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: could have said, you could have named a couple other people.

380
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 1: I'd have thought that over him.

381
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 3: Mike in Peoria, Illinois, you're in the odd Couple of

382
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio.

383
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 4: What's up, Mike, H.

384
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 11: Pleasure to be with you guys again.

385
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 4: Thank you, buddy, wish.

386
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 11: We were just down this road. Two weeks ago, Calvin

387
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 11: was calling Caleb the weakest thing.

388
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you. I know what I said. What

389
00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 4: I'm this is what I'm talking about.

390
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 1: You know it.

391
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 4: Mike, if you listen to the Odd Couple, he's best Caleb.

392
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 11: Let me let me get to one thing. I want

393
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,399
Speaker 11: to point out about what Calvin said, because I just

394
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 11: I don't understand. Sometimes I wonder who's thinking before they're talking.

395
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 11: When you say that that Caleb's got the comeback wins,

396
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 11: and then somebody says, well, why they behind? They gotta

397
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 11: be coming back. Hey, last time I checked, you're behind

398
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 11: because your defense isn't preventing the other team from scoring.

399
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 11: That's just what I said two weeks ago.

400
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 4: Thank you, thank you, thank you very much.

401
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:15,880
Speaker 9: Rob.

402
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 11: I don't know how you knew it. Every night Rob.

403
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 4: It's hard, but I'm here.

404
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 1: They were putting out these offensive out outputs, is what

405
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: he saying. But talking about him, hold on, I'm just saying.

406
00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: So he just made it like they put up forty

407
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: points in the defense. Honestly, what you asked decided, how

408
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: would they behind scoring? No because the other team is scoring.

409
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,119
Speaker 1: It's not because they're not. I scored nine to ten points. No,

410
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 1: the other team is scoring.

411
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 9: No.

412
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,359
Speaker 3: But if the other team is scoring, you could have behind, right,

413
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 3: But I'm saying it will be a problem with that tune.

414
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: It's okay what you asked, how do they behind with you?

415
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,679
Speaker 1: But he's insinuating that every game as if the other

416
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: ta That's how there have been many a games. You

417
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 1: told me that they would gauge with Caleb to five

418
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,000
Speaker 1: pick six is in they're behind fourteen to nothing, didn't.

419
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 1: I can find the only way you can be down

420
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: is being down in the game is defense. So is

421
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:11,160
Speaker 1: not hurting the team?

422
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 3: Sean in Sacramento, you're on the couple of Fox Sports Radio,

423

00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 11: Guys?

473
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 7: Thanks for having me, no.

474
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: Doubt, absolutely appreciate it. I mean we got to start

475
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 1: here real quick. Rob, I mean you covered the AFC South.

476
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 1: We're looking at a forty four year old going toe

477
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: to toe right now with the forty nine ers. Forty

478
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: nine ers up twenty one to fourteen. But just the

479
00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: whole last couple of weeks for Philip Rivers in this

480
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: organization were initial reaction to once you heard he was

481
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: gonna be coming.

482
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 7: Back, Yeah, my first reaction was I was concerned for

483
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 7: his health, all right, I that was my first reaction.

484
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 7: I mean mentally, I had no questions, right, like from

485
00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 7: the from the neck up. I mean, we know what

486
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 7: he's done in this league. We know how advanced he

487
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 7: he processed, processes the game, and his relationship with Shane Steichen,

488
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 7: and I think everyone has heard about how at his

489
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 7: height at the high school he's been coaching in Alabama,

490
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 7: they are running the same offense as the Cult. So

491
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 7: like from a mental standpoint, you didn't really have any questions,

492
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 7: but like physically that was the big thing, right And

493
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 7: how would it feel when you'd get hit by like

494
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 7: twenty three year olds that are like six four two fifty, right, Like,

495
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,399
Speaker 7: those were like the questions I had. And credit to

496
00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 7: him that first game in Seattle. He's balling right now,

497
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,719
Speaker 7: as you alluded to. But that first game in Seattle,

498
00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 7: I was pretty impressed. I mean, the Seahawks have like

499
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 7: a top three defense, you know that. They even hit

500
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 7: him a couple of times in that game, but he

501
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 7: seemed to bounce right back up.

502
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 3: And man, they should have won that game, won a chance. Yeah,

503
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 3: but they held Seattle to six field goals at home. Okay,

504
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 3: and you don't win that game. I'm against this whole thing,

505
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 3: cronyism taking care of each other.

506
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 4: I just don't like it.

507
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 3: A forty four year old hasn't played five years in

508
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: the league. I hope they lose every game and don't

509
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 3: make the playoffs.

510
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 4: I'm just I don't like it. I don't like it.

511
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 3: And if they win the game, then I'll say I'm wrong.

512
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 3: I don't see them winning any games and not making

513
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 3: the playoffs. I just there's something wrong with it as

514
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: far as putting a guy out there hasn't played in

515
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 3: five years.

516
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 4: To me, just is disrespectful to the game. That's hope.

517
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, honestly, that's kind of how I've felt too, I mean,

518
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 7: beyond kind of the whole concerns about his well being. Yeah,

519
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 7: I kind of felt the same way too, And imagine

520
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 7: like you're a quarterback in this league, right, like the

521
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 7: what is it? Riley Leonard?

522
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 9: Who?

523
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 5: Right?

524
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 7: Right, Brett Rippon, Like guys, younger guys who are looking

525
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 7: for their chance as backups, right, that's your role as

526
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 7: a backup when the starter goes down. You're supposed to

527
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 7: be able to have that. The coachings have it is

528
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 7: both have that trust in you to come in and

529
00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 7: to trust the guy who hasn't played in five years

530
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:04,480
Speaker 7: and is in his mid forties.

531
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 3: And and if you look at him and home, okay,

532
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 3: people look it up, Google it. He looks like George

533
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: Blanda who was a kicker back in the fifties or something.

534
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: He looks awful in that uniform.

535
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, he does not look like he's in shape at all.

536
00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 7: He doesn't move well even his throws. I mean that

537
00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 7: he's had, you know, a few touchdowns to this every

538
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 7: ball like there's no zip.

539
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 6: There's zip at all.

540
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: Zero zip.

541
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:36,760
Speaker 7: I mean high school guys would better zip.

542
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 6: On their patty.

543
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked about it, we both. I just thought

544
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: it was an indictments. Quarterback said there's not another option

545
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: that They were like, oh, I love him and everything,

546
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: but we're going with this.

547
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is the crony, but that's his buddy though. Yeah, no, no, no,

548
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 3: it was anybody else. It wouldn't take any other quarterback.

549
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:52,080
Speaker 3: They were friends.

550
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:52,719
Speaker 4: It worked out.

551
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: It was the best situation for him, all right. But

552
00:25:54,880 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 3: the jackar was let's go there and and Lawrence where

553
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: he is. And this thing is this team has turned

554
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 3: the corner, which is incredible. Uh, they go to Denver

555
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: and they win a big game. They win a big game.

556
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:08,920
Speaker 9: Yeah.

557
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,200
Speaker 7: I think the biggest thing with the Jaguars, they've really

558
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 7: leaned into that whole underdog thing, right, Like we I

559
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:20,879
Speaker 7: think we've all seen Liam Cohen's remarks small Market, you know,

560
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,280
Speaker 7: alluding to what Sean Payton had said in the lead

561
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 7: up to the game. Uh, you know Trayvon Walker in

562
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 7: the postgame lock locker room, you know, pursing talking about

563
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,119
Speaker 7: how you know, all the people trying to come on

564
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 7: the bandwagon, now you can stay at home. Trevor Lawrence

565
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 7: a few weeks ago saying essentially that the same thing,

566
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 7: like keep writing us off. Like they've really embodied that

567
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 7: in a in a really powerful way. And it starts

568
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 7: with Liam Cohen, who's done a terrific job. I mean,

569
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 7: you know, it's probably Coach of the Year is probably

570
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 7: a three maybe a three person race, I mean, and

571
00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,920
Speaker 7: Liam Cohn is right up in there. And this dec

572
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 7: is playing at a really, really high level and for

573
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,720
Speaker 7: the offense to kind of catch up. These past few weeks,

574
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 7: I think three or four straight games where they've scored

575
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 7: at least thirty four points, Trevor Lawrence is kind of

576
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 7: looking like the Clemson Trevor Lawrence for the last three weeks.

577
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 7: I mean, this is really this is a really, really,

578
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 7: really dangerous team right now, and they need to be

579
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 7: taken seriously.

580
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 1: Well, I mean another team I think about six weeks ago,

581
00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: give or take, if you were saying questioning should they

582
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:30,159
Speaker 1: be taking seriously, and that would be the Texas. Now,

583
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they've turned their season round. They

584
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,440
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl D seven straight. Their defense and I've

585
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,400
Speaker 1: always been talking about this, how their defense last year

586
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: and this year kept them around while the offense try

587
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:41,160
Speaker 1: to figure some things out.

588
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 4: Now they sit here, ten and five winners, a seventh straight.

589
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 1: We're talking about these two teams in the AFC South,

590
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: who I mean, the AFC is open, and I would

591
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 1: imagine they both feel like we can get this done.

592
00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: If you're the Texan talk about how they got here

593
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: to ten and five.

594
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, it starts with what you said. The defense. I mean,

595
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 7: this is by far the best dec in the NFL.

596
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:03,640
Speaker 7: It's not even close. I know, maybe it hasn't been

597
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 7: to their standard the last couple of weeks, right, like

598
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 7: giving up what was it twenty one to the Raiders

599
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 7: last week and and the week before. I'm struggling to

600
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 7: remember who they played. Oh, it was the Cardinals. They

601
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 7: gave up like twenty or so, and I know they

602
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 7: weren't happy about that. The defenders on that team, Yeah,

603
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 7: they've put up forty. But yeah, overall, I mean this

604
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 7: is a championship caliber defense obviously, and if you can

605
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 7: continue to get enough from the offense, I mean you

606
00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 7: could they could go very very far. I mean, and

607
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 7: I'm still a big believer in Stroud. I know a

608
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 7: lot of people have kind of been off of him

609
00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 7: just the last couple of years. Things haven't really gone

610
00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:42,640
Speaker 7: their way on me.

611
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: I'm an off.

612
00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, And I don't blame you. I don't. I don't

613
00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 7: blame you. It's been far too inconsistent to really to

614
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 7: be to have like maybe full trust in them. But

615
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 7: like I think, with how good this defense is, I'm

616
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 7: confident enough in Stroud and Nico Collins to make those

617
00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,800
Speaker 7: few big plays a game for them to win low

618
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 7: scoring games. So I would say I'm more confident about

619
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 7: the Jaguars right now. But with that formula for the Texans,

620
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 7: right like, winning with defense, getting just those kind of

621
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:25,160
Speaker 7: big plays and big moments from Stroud, Nico, those guys

622
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 7: like I like them.

623
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:29,760
Speaker 1: So well, let me ask you, yeah, let me ask

624
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: you a more broader AFC question right now, we're used

625
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 1: to have any four horsemen conversations, right Lamar obviously has

626
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 1: just been a difficult season for him physically. The team

627
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 1: has looked great, Joe Burrow in and out. Now he's back,

628
00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: but they don't look great. And then obviously the Chiefs

629
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 1: were a shell of themselves and now they're out, and

630
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: obviously you know who was hurt. So who is a

631
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: young guy that's in this position now that you say

632
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 1: they got a great chance to win this or is

633
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 1: it just wide open?

634
00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 7: It is kind of wide open. I mean the Jaguars,

635
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 7: as we've talked about, I think they have a chance.

636
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 7: I never would have said that two months ago, but

637
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:09,720
Speaker 7: they really have a chance. I'd want to say the Patriots,

638
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 7: but just because we haven't seen Drake may that in

639
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 7: the playoffs yet, Like, I'm kind of I don't quite

640
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 7: know about that. I mean the Broncos. I mean Broncos.

641
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,920
Speaker 7: I mean that they have We've talked about the Texans defense.

642
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 7: Broncos defense is very legit. I mean, Jacks took advantage

643
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:30,800
Speaker 7: of them yesterday, but overall, I mean that's still a

644
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 7: championship caliber defense. And Bo Knicks has taken a step.

645
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,240
Speaker 7: I mean it hasn't always been super consistent with the

646
00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 7: Broncos offensively, but I think they might. From from start

647
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 7: of the season to now, they've maybe been the most.

648
00:30:47,560 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 7: They're probably the team I'm most confident in in the postseason,

649
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,800
Speaker 7: just because of its Bo Nicks's clutch. Right, Like you

650
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 7: could think whatever you want about Knicks, but like in

651
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 7: the clutch been largely really really good, and their defense

652
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 7: is really really good. They get after quarterbacks and so

653
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 7: Denver is up there for sure. But but yeah, it

654
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 7: is pretty much wide open. I don't this is in

655
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 7: a year where you can say, you know, one or

656
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 7: two teams kind of happened in the bag. I think

657
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 7: I didn't even mention the bills. Bills are in the

658
00:31:19,440 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 7: mix as well. But but yeah, I'd say it's pretty

659
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 7: wide open, no doubt.

660
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 1: Hey, Well, we appreciate you, man, Thank you so much.

00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 3: of Fox Sports Radio and you are the last call.

715
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 4: Pooka canwah?

716
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 9: All right, Yon, yes you are, go ahead, buddy, all right,

717
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 9: all right, let's make it a double. Then I'm gonna

718
00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 9: say this. I'm a PA guy. I'm a Steeler fan,

719
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 9: and unlike a perceived conception, I'm a Tomlin supporter and

720
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:31,279
Speaker 9: a Tomlins fan. And what I like about him primarily

721
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 9: is that it's not mediocrity, it's consistent winning. And props

722
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 9: to him for having to stealers set the record for

723
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 9: the most consecutive non losing seasons. That's a great accomplishment.

724
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,520
Speaker 9: Anybody can win one Super Bowl, which he's done. But

725
00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 9: I think twenty two years without a losing season three

726
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 9: with Cower in nineteen with him is great and he

727
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,320
Speaker 9: should be getting a lot of credit for that.

728
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:58,879
Speaker 3: Okay, but at some point, and you gotta win. Okay,

729
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 3: you can't live off that. You're not a Supreme Court justice,

730
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 3: you're not a tenurar College professor, you're not the pope.

731
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 3: At some point, you know, like, that's fine, I'm not

732
00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 3: gonna get fire. But now they haven't won a playoff

733
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 3: game since twenty sixteen?

734
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: Is that what it is? Twenty seventeen? Maybe something like?

735
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, like like, at some point you gotta win that.

736
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:22,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, Kevin call gat appreciate the car, and I agree

737
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,959
Speaker 1: that I'm not I'm not like nobody saying the minute.

738
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:27,399
Speaker 1: If they let him go, he would have a coach

739
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,360
Speaker 1: before he could even get it.

740
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 4: It's somewhere else. But but that's fine.

741
00:35:30,960 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: You can't expect at some point, Hey, we want to

742
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:35,360
Speaker 1: just win more. We talked about it.

743
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 3: They did Lewis, They did it with Tony Dune, Okay,

744
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 3: and guess what, John Guten showed up and they won

745
00:35:41,160 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 3: a super Bowl the next season. So you know you

746
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 3: can say, oh, well, Tony dune. You want to go

747
00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 3: to the colt and winning super Bowl, which is great,

748
00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 3: and maybe he was gonna win one, and maybe the

749
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 3: same thing when win a super Bowl, But but at

750
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 3: some point in Pittsburgh just you know, finishing over five hundred,

751
00:35:58,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 3: it's just not enough.

752
00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:03,319
Speaker 1: And I agree, just simply based off like who they are,

753
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: Like if they're the Panthers, we've went on this streak

754
00:36:06,080 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: and no losing seasons or something. The Cardinals, I totally

755
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,160
Speaker 1: would get it, but based off but even Tempa.

756
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,560
Speaker 3: Bay did it when they hadn't won anything, but they

757
00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 3: were frustrated, say we.

758
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,760
Speaker 1: Want to get over the hump, and it happened.

759
00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:20,880
Speaker 3: So and again he's been there, what twenty years or eighteen,

760
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,520
Speaker 3: nineteen years, whatever it is. That's a heck of a run.

761
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: Like that doesn't happen in twenty twenty sports, right, Hey,

762
00:36:27,120 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: guys went coach of the year, get fired the next year.

763
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: That's not even far fetch. That's happened regularly in particular sports,

764
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: especially in the NBA. So you know, the idea that

765
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 1: this isn't as far festered them wanting to move on.

766
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:40,399
Speaker 1: That's not crazy, it really isn't.

767
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,479
Speaker 3: And at the half, right we got about se minutes

768
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 3: before the second half stars twenty four.

769
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 4: Twenty four to seventeen.

770
00:36:46,280 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: They missed, Uh, forty nine ers missed the field go

771
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:50,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the first half. It literally hit

772
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: off the bottom of the upright. It was a deep one.

773
00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 1: I think it might have been like sixty yards. I

774
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to see them. That's the forty

775
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: nine ers, forty nine, forty nine ers. Right at halftime,

776
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: they were marching hit he hit the crossbar. Yep, hit

777
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:04,000
Speaker 1: the crossbar there. Otherwise they'd be up tim but they're

778
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 1: up seven.

779
00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:05,400
Speaker 2: Philip Rivers.

780
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 1: Look, he looks good. I can't front. I want to front,

781
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: can't front. He looks good right now.

782
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:14,399
Speaker 4: In the second half, two picks and they lose by

783
00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:15,840
Speaker 4: three touchdowns.

784
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 1: They got a whole second half to play. But he

785
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: looked good right now. And Brock party where they want

786
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: four straight Since he's been back. Uh, they've been an

787
00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: interesting team because we talked about the Seahawks in that division.

788
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: You talk obviously the Rams, but the forty nine ers

789
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: just kind of creeping around there and hanging around. And

790
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: now they're gonna playoff Ben and they're gonna be one

791
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 1: of those teams that as they've been to the Super Bowl,

792
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,520
Speaker 1: been an NFC championship game. They want to day we

793
00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 1: talk about getting over the hump. That's what they want

794
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: to do. Rams got one, you know a few years back,

795
00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: Uh Seahawks have you know, obviously they were trying to

796
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 1: get one. The forty nine ers want to get over

797
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: that hump because they've been a good team, a really

798
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:51,200
Speaker 1: good team. But they want to get over that hump

799
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 1: because they've been close.

800
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:53,640
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think they ever gonna win

801
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 4: with Shanahan. I'm gonna be real.

802
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 1: They don't think he finally exercises the demons, No, because

803
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:00,880
Speaker 1: he's terrible fourth quarters when the games matters.

804
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 4: As long as he just runs the ball, maybe, but

805
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:03,759
Speaker 4: he doesn't do it.

806
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:05,879
Speaker 1: No, it is a game out every now and again.

807
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 4: The Jason Smith Show with Mike Harmon is coming up next.

808
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:12,520
