9
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: is up my man? How you doing?

10
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, man. I woke up today in two

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: hours after that football was on TV. So yeah, I'm

12
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 3: doing pretty well.

13
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 4: It is a glorious time.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,639
Speaker 2: And listen, you know, I'll say this before we even

15
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: get into what was obviously a crazy afternoon, is it

16
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: was so good man, Like you know, and you know,

17
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: I was blessed enough to get away earlier this month

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: and I came back and it just really hit me,

19
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: like I am so ready to stop.

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 4: Like we've all what picked the football topic.

21
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 2: It could be the Jets with Aaron Rodgers, it could

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: be Florida State, it could be whatever it is. We've

23
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 2: all had our take whatever it is since like march

24
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: on all these subjects, and it was just so nice

25
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: to get a result in the win column that mattered. Now, listen,

26
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: I'll say this, j Mart. We got to figure out

27
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: week zero a little bit better. Four games total. There

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: is kind of an interesting one in Reno right now,

29
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: as de Sega just told us the you know, the

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: Nevada Wolfpack potentially on upset alert leading SMU twenty four

31
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: to thirteen, about eight minutes to go. SMU is a

32
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: twenty four and a half point favorite in this one,

33
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 2: but it was just so good to have college football back, Jason.

34
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: Before we get to FSUG Tech, just any thoughts. You

35
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 2: said it, you woke up two hours later there was

36
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: foot Well, it was just so good man.

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 3: Yeah. So my daughter, Claire Grace, my three year old,

38
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: she always says, Daddy, can I watch a program?

39
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: And he said, hell no, girl.

40
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: Well, I literally like I kind of had to break

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 3: her heart a little bit today because she's kind of

42
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 3: had the run of it on weekend. Sure I can

43
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 3: do other things and stuff. And I was just like, honey,

44
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 3: in two hours, it's going to be a football program.

45
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 3: And she just kind of looked at me, and Mommy's

46
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 3: like it's that time of year again, dear, and I

47
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: was just like, yeah, it is.

48
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah it is, y'all.

49
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 3: Go y'all, y'all, go take a walk somewhere, like, walk

50
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: through the neighborhood, Go find the fountains. I'm gonna be

51
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: over here watching this game in Dublin.

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 2: Y'all, go walk somewhere. That's the twenty twenty four theme song.

53
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Let's get that printed out of a T shirt. No, man,

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: it's funny. My wife said the same thing. She's like, Oh,

55
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,359
Speaker 2: I guess we're really here.

56
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 4: But we are here.

57
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: The big one was in Dublin. Georgia Tech Florida State.

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: Florida State came in as a ten and a half

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: point favorite. It did not go that way. By now

60
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: you know how it ended. But for people who did

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: not hear it, this is what it sounded like.

62
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: Not the soldiers, he's righty, set down for him, boot

63
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 5: it up, it's tumbling, it's turning.

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 4: It is God.

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 3: And the horn.

66
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 6: Get the luck of the Irish. It's the heart of

67
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 6: the jackets, and Georgia Tech knocks off number ten Florida

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 6: State Finals four twenty four, twenty one.

69
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: That was we assume it was Georgia Tech Radio Network.

70
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: But you heard the result, twenty four to twenty one.

71
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: Florida State came in as the tenth ranked team in

72
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: the country, Georgia Tech with the walk off field goal. Jason,

73
00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: We'll get into this game, but let me just say this, man,

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: And I know we've said two or three times, but

75
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: it's like, for all we do, all this talking about

76
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: college football.

77
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 4: The portal and ni Ellen, all this realignment.

78
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: And then the game start, first game of the year,

79
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: walk off, top ten team falls.

80
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 4: It's cliche. This is just such an incredible sport, Jamark,

81
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 4: Yeah it is.

82
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 3: And again it just it goes to show again. I mean,

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 3: these are young guys, Mistakes are made, things can be

84
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,159
Speaker 3: very chaotic. A lot of stuff does turn out to

85
00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: be chalk. We understand that, but there is just a

86
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: mess of possibility that can go into things. And without

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 3: getting into the nuts and bolts of the game, I

88
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 3: will say this, my initial feeling on this is week

89
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: zero in Dublin. There is nothing good about that. If

90
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: you were a fairly high ranked football team, especially one

91
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: that has some question marks, some new pieces and things

92
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 3: like that, that's such a weird place to go play.

93
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 3: You're not playing with a full schedule. You also know

94
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 3: everybody's eyes are on you. You're trying to gel. It's

95
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 3: just really odd. Play like that is not the way

96
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 3: I would want to start my season. I'm not trying

97
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 3: to make an excuse for Florida State. I'm just suggesting

98
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,600
Speaker 3: that that would be one I would not want to

99
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 3: play in if I was a ranked football team in

100
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 3: Week zero.

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, And so a couple of things. One,

102
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,119
Speaker 2: First of all, like you go back a couple remember

103
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: a couple of years ago. It was Nebraska, Yes Western,

104
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: and it was like Scott Fross, big year, he barely

105
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: survived the year before. Now you got to go over

106
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: yet and they end up losing, and it falls apart

107
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 2: from there. I'm with you, weird place to play, by

108
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: the way, the weather was kind of weird.

109
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 4: But also to your.

110
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: Point, Jason, and listen, you know, you and I we

111
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 2: had plenty of conversations in December about Florida State. But

112
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: whatever we think about how last year ended, what is

113
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 2: indisputable is they lost a lot off last year's team,

114
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 2: and so you lose ten draft picks for the NFL. Obviously,

115
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis was the starter until late in the year

116
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 2: and it's tough. But I'll also say this, Obviously we

117
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: have to give Georgia Tech credit. But the story to

118
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 2: me is Florida State. And so let's go ahead and

119
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 2: dive into that a little bit weird place to play,

120
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: tough place to play. By the way, we should do

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 2: the caveat J Mart that in this new twelve team

122
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,160
Speaker 2: playoff era, this is not a season ender in any way,

123
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 2: shape or form. I think everybody knows. But the top

124
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: four teams, you know, the top four conference champions, I

125
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: should say, all get first round byes in that twelve

126
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 2: team playoff automatic bids as well. And so listen, if

127
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 2: Florida State, if they can shake this off, you know

128
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,719
Speaker 2: they'll they'll be fine. I mean, the path is still

129
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,479
Speaker 2: plenty ahead for them. But I also look at what

130
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: I saw on the field. Dju kind of is who

131
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 2: we've always known him to be, nineteen to twenty seven

132
00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,679
Speaker 2: passing one hundred and ninety three yards. But what stood

133
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 2: out to me, J Mart, Listen, I remember you and

134
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: I being on during that ACC championship game last year

135
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: Florida State lost.

136
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 4: It was or Florida State one. Excuse me.

137
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 2: It was ugly but you could see how much talent

138
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,200
Speaker 2: they had on that defensive side of the football. They

139
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 2: gave up one hundred and ninety yards rushing as a

140
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: team five and a half yards per carry. On the

141
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 2: other side, they ran the ball for about three yards

142
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,520
Speaker 2: per play. And what stood out to me more than

143
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: anything is that Florida State, whatever you think of how

144
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 2: last season ended, they had dudes all over the field,

145
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: especially on both lines. This year, they kind of got

146
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: punked at the line of scrimmage by Georgia Tech. So

147
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech wins, But that was my big takeaway. Florida State,

148
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: this top ten team that we just assume is going

149
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: to be able to reload along the lines, they really

150
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 2: got pushed around on along the along the lines of scrimmage.

151
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think it's a good take. You know.

152
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 3: We had Ian hit us up this is a game

153
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: was over. He's like, well, you guys are gonna have

154
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: plenty to say about this upset, And my response was,

155
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: this looked like it was gonna happen from the second quarter,

156
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 3: Like just watching the game and the way it was flowing,

157
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 3: I thought, you know what, Georgia Tech's probably gonna win

158
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: this game. Now, obviously they end up having to do

159
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: it on the kick at the end, but they seemed

160
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,680
Speaker 3: to be the aggressor. Yep, they were forcing the issue.

161
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: Like dj U didn't throw a whole lot of incompletions,

162
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 3: but he also didn't throw anything five yards past a

163
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 3: lot of scrimmage. That was the thing. Like he was

164
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 3: the very definition of a game manager. And to your point, yes,

165
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 3: like he's fine, but he's not Jordan Travis certainly. And

166
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: at this stage you talked about how many dudes they

167
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: had last year. Well, all those dudes are playing on

168
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 3: Sunday now, yep, and I just don't think they are.

169
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 3: I already like we're gonna be doing a lot of

170
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: college football later on in this show. I don't like

171
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 3: what I saw today, but I was already kind of

172
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 3: skeptical about what this was going to look like this year.

173
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 3: One of the things that made last year so heartbreaking

174
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 3: for Florida State fans is that the chances of duplicating it,

175
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 3: We're going to be so difficult, because it did seem

176
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 3: like the acc was getting better around them, and they

177
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 3: had a magical mix of talent that was gonna be

178
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 3: very very hard to try and replace. And what I saw,

179
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: I understand it's week zero and weird things happen, Wonky

180
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 3: things happen, especially in Dublin, and may they go on

181
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 3: a run. I just don't see it for them this year.

182
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 3: Like I what I saw today didn't seem like it

183
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 3: was just playing in Dublin. It just seemed like a

184
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 3: team that doesn't have what it had last year.

185
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's my big takeaway is And

186
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't think Florida State fans felt

187
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 2: this way, but I think you know, anybody that you

188
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,160
Speaker 2: know wanted to have the reaction that you and I

189
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: are having. You know, it'd be easy to kind of

190
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 2: just dismiss of well, you know, I mean, it's a

191
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,960
Speaker 2: twelve team playoff and if they make the if they

192
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 2: win the ACC, it doesn't matter. It's like, yeah, but

193
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,280
Speaker 2: we can have bigger picture takeaways like yes, of course,

194
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 2: by definition, no one season in those Power for conferences

195
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: is over until they are eliminated from the conference championship race.

196
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 4: I get that.

197
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 2: But you start to extrapolate out the schedule Clemson first

198
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 2: week of October, Miami, who you know, I will talk

199
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: about later, but they are a much improved team top

200
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: twenty team on the road end of October, you have

201
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame. And I'll say this, like even Florida,

202
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: like Florida by SEC standards isn't very good, but they

203
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: played them tough last year. You know, they obviously have talent.

204
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: So it's just like it's just easy to like dismiss

205
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean it's a twelve team playoff. Don't

206
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 2: don't overreact. It's like, yeah, but we can also extrapolate

207
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 2: out the season and if you get that, and it

208
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: wasn't like a you know, dju is generally a very

209
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: accurate quarterback. And he had three interceptions and two of

210
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 2: them were pick sixes. It was like the problems that

211
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 2: we saw today feel like problems that just don't get

212
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: solved over the course of cleaning something up or one

213
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: one film session or whatever.

214
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 4: Those seem like problems they are gonna go kind of

215
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 4: all season long.

216
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you're right, he played fine. He just

217
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 3: that's kind of who he is. He's just sort of

218
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,559
Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna be fairly even keeled. He's not

219
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 3: gonna be a disaster out there. But he's not a

220
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: game changing player. He's not a dynamic player. That's what

221
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,719
Speaker 3: we saw at Clemson. That's why it went down the

222
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 3: way that it went down there. He's not some electrifying guy.

223
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 3: It's going to change your fortunes on a regular basis.

224
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 3: It just hasn't played out for him that way. He's

225
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,040
Speaker 3: just kind of an average college football quarterback, which is fine,

226
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: except he came in with a lot more on him

227
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 3: than that. But you see, you know, this is his

228
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: third stop, and it's a it's got to be tough

229
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: for Florida State fans because they understand the downgrade at quarterback,

230
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 3: not not that dju. I know we're just dogging all

231
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 3: over him here, but I mean, he played fine, but

232
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 3: he got out played by Haines King, and just generally speaking,

233
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: when he had the ball, there was no real feeling

234
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: that he was about to do anything special with it.

235
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 3: He probably wasn't going to turn it over, but they

236
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 3: were probably gonna end up punting the football more often

237
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 3: than not.

238
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: Also, there's some stats out there I forget.

239
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 2: I don't know the exact set off to up my head,

240
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 2: but there's always teams that are ranked very high to

241
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: start the season that end up unranked outside the top

242
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 2: twenty five whatever, does this feel like one to you?

243
00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 4: Because it was funny.

244
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: I was actually asked that on one of these you

245
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 2: know radio interviews that you know, we all do over

246
00:12:02,240 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 2: the course of a week where it's like, hey, you know,

247
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: for ten of the last eleven years, there's been a

248
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: team that's started in the top ten that finished unranked.

249
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: Florida State was that pick for me?

250
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 2: And you know, I think there's other candidates, and we'll

251
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 2: talk about a lot of different teams here over the

252
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 2: next few hours. But like I said, I'm kind of

253
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 2: just rehashing what I just said, But one I was

254
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: a little bit lower on them coming into the year

255
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 2: than maybe most sounds like you were a little bit

256
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,120
Speaker 2: lower too, But I, like I said with the guys

257
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: that I saw the other thing too, jays let me

258
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: even I'm totally pivoting out of nowhere, But I do

259
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 2: think the other thing that stood out to me is

260
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: they've been a team that's so portal heavy and portal reliant,

261
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: and I think it plays into the inability, you know,

262
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,480
Speaker 2: the talent drop off. And I was thinking about this

263
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: while I watch the game, is like there is something too, like,

264
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 2: you know, we all love the portal and whatever.

265
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 4: But all these great programs, no.

266
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 2: Matter who it is, we know who they are, Alabama, Ohio, State, Georgia, whatever, like,

267
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: they really don't go that portal heavy. And I was

268
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: thinking about that with Florida State of when you go

269
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 2: so portal heavy, sometimes there's gonna be years like last year,

270
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 2: you get Keon Coleman, you get a few other guys,

271
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: you know, and there were guys in the program already,

272
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: and everything clicks and everything's magical.

273
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 7: But I also think there's something too. You can't rely

274
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 7: every single.

275
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 2: Year because I mean, you just think about all the

276
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 2: guys that they lost, and they I don't know, I

277
00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: don't even where I'm going with this point. They just

278
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 2: look like a completely different team, I guess to the

279
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,679
Speaker 2: point I was trying to make before, I don't think

280
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: this gets better. And I'm not ready to just say

281
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,480
Speaker 2: they're definitively going seven to five and finishing outside the

282
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: top twenty five, but that was something I was thinking

283
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 2: about while I was watching this game.

284
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,079
Speaker 3: I would just say, I wouldn't say that they're necessarily

285
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 3: going to finish outside the top twenty five. I think

286
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 3: it's possible, but I think more than anything, I just

287
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 3: don't think they're going to be relevant to the CFP discussion.

288
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: Well, speaking of the CFP discussion, Jason, I'll tell you what.

289
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,800

00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 4: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports Radio.

325
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: Eric Torres Jason Martin broadcasting live from Thetireraq dot com studios.

326
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 2: Perfect segue music because just a moment ago we talked

327
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: about these stunning upset Georgia Tech beating Florida State on

328
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 2: a walk off field goal in Dublin. The number ten

329
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 2: team in the country falls on the opening day of

330
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 2: week zero. But now it is time to put aside

331
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: what happened on Saturday and look ahead to what will

332
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 2: happen this season. And since Mary set us up with rollout,

333
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: I think it's time to roll out playoff predictions, Jay Mart.

334
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: So I'll tell you what. There's no perfect way to

335
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 4: do this. Why don't we just.

336
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 2: Go team by team? Seed by seed, you give yours,

337
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 2: I'll give a little reaction, I'll give you mine, and

338
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 2: we'll go from there.

339
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:16,320
Speaker 4: Before we do, by the way, should just let everybody know.

340
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: I think everybody by this point understands how the playoff works.

341
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 2: But for people who do not remember twelve team college

342
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: football playoff kay, the top five highest strength conference champions

343
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 2: all get automatic bids, and the four teams that are

344
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: the highest STRENGTHD conference champions get first round bys. In

345
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 2: other words, if Georgia and Alabama are one and two

346
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 2: going into the SEC championship game, the loser of that

347
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: game will not get a first round by. And if

348
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 2: the winner of the ACC is seven and five Tech

349
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech, they will be ranked ahead of any non

350
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: winner of a conference. So I hope that made sense.

351
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 2: But again, the first four seeds get buys, but it's

352
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,520
Speaker 2: only for conference champions, J Mart. Start us off, who

353
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: is your number one overall seed? In the j Mart

354
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:11,880
Speaker 2: twelve team college football Player.

355
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 3: All Right, so we're going from we're going from the top.

356
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 4: Then how else will we do it?

357
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 3: Well, we go from twelve.

358
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,920
Speaker 4: Okay, go from twelve. I'll go from twelve. I'm down.

359
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 3: Do you want to got Memphis at twelve?

360
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 4: Okay?

361
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: So Memphis, of course would be the fifth Again for

362
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,760
Speaker 2: people who do not understand, the fifth conference champion of

363
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 2: the AAC kind of worth noting by the way Memphis plays.

364
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 2: Memphis plays Florida State in just a few weeks, so

365
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: potential upset potential there. But Memphis, of course, a season ago,

366
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 2: coming off a very solid year in the AAC in

367
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: which they won ten games, beat i With State in

368
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,640
Speaker 2: a bowl game, Memphis at number ten or number twelve.

369
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 2: Excuse me, I'll go number twelve. I'll keep it quick,

370
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: hop it if you have any reaction. But number twelve

371
00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: I do have the liberty flames.

372
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:04,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought about it.

373
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 2: Yes, So they went twelve and zero in the regular

374
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: season last year. Jamie Chadwell, for first year head coach,

375
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: took over for Hugh Freeze. They bring back a lot,

376
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,199
Speaker 2: including Kateon Salter, who's their starting quarterback. They are my

377
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: highest ranked. They're my twelfth twelve team, fifth conference champion.

378
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 2: Who's at number eleven for you, Jason.

379
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 3: Could be a surprise because I think a lot of

380
00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: people aren't as high on them as I am. But

381
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: I think it'll make sense as we get further on.

382
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,359
Speaker 3: I got Tennessee at eleven, Okay, I think they're better

383
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,240
Speaker 3: than people think, and I think what we saw today

384
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 3: may dictate that the ACC only gets one bid, and

385
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 3: even prior to that game, this is the way that

386
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 3: I had it set out, but this makes it easier

387
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 3: for me, So I think I think Tennessee is going

388
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 3: to sneak in at eleven.

389
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 2: Tennessee, weirdly, considering that they have a schedule that always

390
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 2: includes Alabama and Georgia does not have the toughest SEC

391
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:59,280
Speaker 2: schedule by any stretch of the imagination. J Mart, I mean,

392
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: you've obvious DELT looked it up, but no Texas, no LSU,

393
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 2: no Old Miss, which is obviously a top ten team

394
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 2: coming into the year. I do not have Tennessee in

395
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 2: my top twelve, but I did have. I very seriously

396
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 2: considered them in that spot. So it's very interesting you

397
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,159
Speaker 2: mentioned the ACC multiple bids. I'll say this at number eleven.

398
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: I don't feel great about it, but I do have

399
00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 2: Clemson at number eleven. By the way, update from the

400
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 2: game going on right now, SMU has just taken the lead.

401
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 2: With a minute to go to SEGA give you updates

402
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 2: in just a moment. Back to my bracket, Jason, number eleven.

403
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: You know, I'll say this With Clemson, I don't I

404
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: don't love them, and I think there's big questions about

405
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,239
Speaker 2: you know, listen all the questions that we've had all

406
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 2: offseason about this program, about how they're building their program.

407
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 2: But you start to get to you know, the third fourth,

408
00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 2: fifth SEC team, he starts to get to the third fourth, fifth.

409
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 7: Big ten team. You know, I don't know what else

410
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,080
Speaker 7: there is to say.

411
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 2: I just think someone is getting in outside of the

412
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 2: Power conferences as an at large candidate.

413
00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 7: So I'll go Clemson at number eleven.

414
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 4: If you don't have.

415
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,680
Speaker 2: Anything to add there, Jason, If you have anything to add,

416
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,320
Speaker 2: feel free. If not, would love to hear who you

417
00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: have at number ten.

418
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 3: I got ole Miss at ten, so I got two

419
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 3: SEC teams in a row here. I think the roster's

420
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 3: pretty loaded, and you've got Jackson Dart. Some people have him,

421
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: you know, it's one of those kind of trendy keep

422
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,240
Speaker 3: an eye out on him for the Heisman kind of deals.

423
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 3: I just think they've got too much talent to not

424
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 3: find a way to score a lot of points and

425
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 3: make their way in. They're one of the prime examples

426
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,160
Speaker 3: of a one of those teams where it's like, boy,

427
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 3: if you had an expanded playoff, they would be interesting.

428
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 3: Like You've kind of had that debate a couple of

429
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:42,400
Speaker 3: different times. But I think link if it's a really

430
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,199
Speaker 3: solid coach and this is a year where because of

431
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 3: the expanded playoff, I could see them finding their way

432
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 3: in at ten.

433
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 2: So that's interesting. I have Ole Miss and I'll discuss

434
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 2: them later in my bracket. At number ten, I have

435
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 2: another SEC team, and I think some people might be surprised.

436
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 2: Maybe you will be surprised. I'm curious for your take.

437
00:20:57,800 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 2: I'm a little I have them a little lower than

438
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: most Texas Longhorns, and I like Texas, but listen, it's cliche,

439
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 2: but I think there is something to the fact that

440
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,880
Speaker 2: you're playing in the SEC. It's a week in, week

441
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,679
Speaker 2: out grind, and they did lose it, like like because

442
00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: they bring back Quinn yours. But listen, they lost two

443
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: first round caliber wide receivers. Avier Worthy, we know what

444
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 2: he's doing, Ady Mitchell, who's playing really well for Indianapolis.

445
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: They lost two really good defensive linemen, including a first

446
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: round pick. So I don't think they're falling off a

447
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 2: cliff and going seven and five. I don't think they're

448
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: going eleven and one and in Atlanta though.

449
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,080
Speaker 3: Jason, Okay, I mean that's fair. I mean I'll be

450
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,359
Speaker 3: talking about Texas here in a little while. Number nine

451
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: another one that I've seen several people leave completely out.

452
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: I had to pick one team from this conference in

453
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 3: addition to the one that I have winning this conference

454
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 3: at least one, and I am gonna go with mister

455
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,720
Speaker 3: Moore over mister Franklin and say that Michigan's going to

456
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:02,399
Speaker 3: get in nine and not Penn State.

457
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: Well, j Mart, I got Michigan at number nine. How

458
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 4: do you like that? Mapple?

459
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 2: All right, yeah, same team, same concept, And if you

460
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 2: have anything to add, please feel free. But my thought

461
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: is exactly your thought is there's going to be multiple

462
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: Big ten teams. I think Michigan, like the culture, will

463
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: be good enough. By the way, they don't play Penn State.

464
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,159
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, Jason, I think I'm where you

465
00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 2: are is I think this is as much of a

466
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 2: bet against Penn State as it is in favor of Michigan.

467
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 2: Will you and I speak the same language on Penn State.

468
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 2: Until James Franklin proves he can win the games that matter,

469
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 2: I'm out. So I have Michigan at number nine as well.

470
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 2: J Mart give us number eight and then we'll switch

471
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 2: over to Saga and then we'll finish out our brackets here.

472
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: I got Bama at eight. Okay. I mean they've they've

473
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,239
Speaker 3: got a boatload of talent. Milroe can really play, But

474
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 3: I just think they're gonna lose a couple along the way.

475
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: Like I think they're certainly going to be very good,

476
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,800
Speaker 3: I just don't. It's just a lot to ask for

477
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 3: Kaylen to Boord to step into that role any sec

478
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,360
Speaker 3: being even more difficult this year with the new additions

479
00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 3: and everything else. I still think an eight it's a

480
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,240
Speaker 3: pretty solid place for them to be. But that's where

481
00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 3: I've got them slotted.

482
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:18,880
Speaker 2: Don't want to get ahead of ourselves when we break

483
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 2: down our bracket. We got a little Rose Bowl rematch. Yeah,

484
00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 2: Michigan and Alabama. I'll be quick on this, a team

485
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,480
Speaker 2: that you probably have in your bracket at number eight.

486
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: I do have Notre Dame. I don't love them, but

487
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 2: the schedule breaks very nicely. They open against Texas A

488
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: and M. By the way, the only other two ranked

489
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: teams that they have on their schedule at least as

490
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 2: of right now one is Florida State at home. We

491
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 2: all got our days to Florida State today and then

492
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: they close with USC. So a very manageable schedule for

493
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. So we have made it not as far

494
00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 2: along in the bracket as we wanted to, but it's okay.

495
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 2: We got two and a half more hours to continue

496
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: to break it all down, so we are through number eight.

497
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 2: We'll get back look at the rest of our brackets

498
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 2: and then tell you how we have it all played out.

499
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 2: Before we get back to our brackets. Though, number one

500
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 2: seed overall and all of our brackets. Oh my god,

501
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 2: though such a bad teas Steve de Seger, what's up, buddy.

502
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 4: Good evening to you both.

503
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 10: It's a great day that we're at least getting some football,

504
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 10: and it's also a great day because the NFL exhibitions

505
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 10: are ending this week. By the way, the Nevada Wolfpack,

506
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 10: a team that had the lead tonight. Yeah, that's past

507
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 10: tense had the lead tonight. We'll update that in the moment.

508
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 10: But Nevada last season was a two to ten team

509
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 10: and one of the wins was by a six nothing

510
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,399
Speaker 10: score at San Diego State. They opened last season at

511
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 10: USC and Nevada lost sixty six fourteen. They're opening this

512
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 10: season at home and had a lead with under ten

513
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 10: minutes to go against SMU twenty four thirteen. SMU has

514
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 10: scored sixteen unanswered points in about the last eight minutes

515
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 10: of this game. Touchdown safety, another touchdown, missed the two

516
00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 10: point pass, so it's SMU twenty nine twenty four under

517
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 10: one minute to go. The late game in a half

518
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 10: an hour will have Hawaii hosting Delaware State. Earlier today

519
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 10: on alf AS one, Montana State with a comeback at

520
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 10: New Mexico thirty five thirty one. The Lobos had two

521
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 10: touchdowns on fumble returns led thirty one fourteen going to

522
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,640
Speaker 10: the fourth but despite new coach Bronco Menden Hall, it's

523
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 10: an l because Montana State picked up three touchdowns in

524
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 10: the fourth quarter. Thirty five thirty one the final and

525
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,320
Speaker 10: then there's the game you referenced in Dublin, Georgia Tech

526
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 10: twenty four to twenty one over Florida State on a

527
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 10: forty four yard field goal on the final play. Georgia

528
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 10: Tech had missed from fifty one yards out early in

529
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 10: the third quarter. By the way, in that stadium in Dublin,

530
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,200
Speaker 10: a couple of years ago, it was Northwestern beating Nebraska.

531
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 10: Last year was Notre Dame dominating against Navy, and then

532
00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,240
Speaker 10: next year it's supposed to be Kansas State versus Iowa State.

533
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 10: I have read that in twenty twenty seven there in Dublin,

534
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 10: same stadium, it will be pit against Wisconsin. Most teams

535
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 10: open next weekend for the twenty two twenty four college

536
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 10: football season. The first game on Fox TV is Thursday,

537
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 10: North Carolina at Minnesota. Updating the late game in the

538
00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,199
Speaker 10: NFL Exhibitions Tonight, it's at Seattle Seahawks twenty four to

539
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 10: ten over Cleveland. Seattle has scored on a fifty six

540
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 10: yard run on a putt return of seventy nine yards,

541
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,679
Speaker 10: Jason Myers with a fifty eight yard field goal, and

542
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 10: there was an early TD pass at Seattle from Gino

543
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 10: Smith to dk Metcalf twenty one yards, so yeah, twenty

544
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 10: four to ten Seattle and Deshaun Watson. Brown's quarterback is

545
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 10: out again. Tonight still hasn't played in a game since

546
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 10: last November. He had shoulder surgery. Jets ten six over

547
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 10: the Giants Jets defense with eight sacks. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers

548
00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 10: and Jets starters did not play. The Jets went three

549
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 10: and oh in the preseason, though Minnesota went three and

550
00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 10: oh in the preseason after a win at Philadelphia or

551
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 10: whoever was wearing those uniforms twenty six to three the final,

552
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 10: and Detroit down Pittsburgh twenty four to seventeen. So for

553
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 10: the record, Pittsburgh goes oh to three. The preseason, the

554
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 10: Browns traded defensive tackle Chris Williams to the Bears. NASCAR's

555
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 10: four hundred was at Daytona Tonight, a win by Harrison Burton,

556
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 10: and he only led the final lap. Kyle Busch finished

557
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 10: second WNBA Connecticut and Minnesota with wins. I believe it

558
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 10: is impossible to give a WNBA update without Yukon mentions.

559
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:23,120
Speaker 10: Is just for the record. Brianna Stewart fifteen points, fifteen

560
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 10: rebounds as Connecticut won at New York and the FISA

561
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 10: Collier with thirty one points, as Minnesota clinch to playoffs

562
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 10: but beating Indiana ninety to eighty. Caitlin Clark in the

563
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 10: lost twenty three points, eight assists, seven turnovers. The Dodgers

564
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 10: are going for a sixth straight win. They had the

565
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 10: lead past tense. The Rays have tied it up. The

566
00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 10: game is seven to seven at Dodger Stadium as Tampa

567
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:48,360
Speaker 10: Bay gets a run in the eighth and a run

568
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 10: in the ninth. They're going to the bottom of the

569
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 10: ninth right now. Shohe Otani had given LA the lead

570
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 10: with his forty first home run of the season. The

571
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 10: Mets beat San Diego seven to one. Wins for Cleveland,

572
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 10: Minnesota and Philadelphia which one at Kansas City eleven to two.

573
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 10: J t ral mutto seven. RBIs back to you.

574
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 4: Thank you very much, Steve the Sager.

575
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday or tourist

576
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios.

577
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 2: We are giving our official college football playoff final brackets

578
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 2: top twelve teams that we believe will be in the postseason.

579
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 2: We are through number eight. I have twelve, Liberty eleven,

580
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:31,120
Speaker 2: clems In ten, Texas nine, Michigan eight, Notre Dame jmart

581
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 2: Has twelve, Memphis eleven, Tennessee ten, Ole, miss nine, Michigan eight,

582
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: Bama jmart Who you got at number seven, take it

583
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: away Notre Dame.

584
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 3: Same reason that you mentioned having them in the number

585
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 3: eight spot. I just kind of feel like they're going

586
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 3: to be there the way that their schedule sits. I

587
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 3: really like Riley Leonard. It just feels like, again, the

588
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 3: culture is right there. Like I like Freeman. Last year

589
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,840
Speaker 3: was a little bit of a letdown from what maybe

590
00:28:57,840 --> 00:28:59,560
Speaker 3: it looked like it could have been at the beginning

591
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,840
Speaker 3: of the Sea And I just kind of think it

592
00:29:01,960 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 3: breaks for Notre Dame this year as opposed to against them.

593
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 3: So I've got them at seven.

594
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 2: Absolutely a team that you know, I think they're a

595
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: small underdog next week at A and M. Could see

596
00:29:10,800 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 2: them losing that game, could see everybody freaking out, could

597
00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,400
Speaker 2: see them, you know, ripping off six to seven eight

598
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: in a row, no problem. Number seven a team that

599
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,920
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier that you already had in your brackets,

600
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 2: so we already talked about him. Don't need to spend

601
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 2: a ton of time on them. The ole miss rebels

602
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:29,480
Speaker 2: everything that you said. I agree with lan Kiffin's really good.

603
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: I mean, reinvented himself. This is a good team. They

604
00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: still have Georgia on the schedule, they still have a

605
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 2: couple of tough games. I don't know that they get

606
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 2: to Atlanta as the SEC representative SEC runner up, but

607
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: I have them at number six.

608
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 4: Who you got at number at number seven? Excuse me?

609
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 4: Who you got at number six?

610
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 3: J mart I've got Texas there. I think this is

611
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 3: closer to where most people have them. I do think

612
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 3: there will be a blemish two along the way, but

613
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 3: it's a good football team. Feels like Sarkisian has put

614
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 3: a lot of his past troubles behind him. I like

615
00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 3: what you've got at quarterback obviously, and they've just done

616
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,280
Speaker 3: a nice job recruiting generally and what they've brought in

617
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:12,360
Speaker 3: talent wise. You're right they've lost a lot, but that

618
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: just didn't feel like a fluke to me last year.

619
00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 3: That felt like the beginning of something. I think they're

620
00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 3: going to come in and do very well in their

621
00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 3: first season the SEC.

622
00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 2: So we're basically on the same page in the SEC.

623
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 2: You know, I had Texas a little bit lower, yet

624
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 2: text a little bit higher. I have Bama at number

625
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 2: six as my SEC runner up schedule is tough, there's

626
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 2: no doubt about it.

627
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 4: At LSU at Tennessee, Georgia at home.

628
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 2: But you know, Galen to board, listen, this guy what

629
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,760
Speaker 2: twelve and zero, you know, fourteen and one? Really winning

630
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 2: factor in the postseason, and he's gonna have a better

631
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 2: roster this year, like he just is, and so there's

632
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 2: gonna be losses. I think everybody in this era is

633
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,600
Speaker 2: going to take losses, but I think he does enough

634
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 2: to get to Atlanta. You can probably guess who I

635
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,520
Speaker 2: have him losing to, which we will discuss here in just.

636
00:30:57,480 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: A little bit.

637
00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 7: Who you have Who do you have at the number

638
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 7: five spot?

639
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 3: Jamart, Here's one I think a lot of people will

640
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 3: disagree with. I have Ohio State at five. They could

641
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 3: easily be number two on this list. But honestly, this

642
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 3: is similar to how I feel about Searon Moore compared

643
00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 3: to James Franklin. I just like another coach in that

644
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 3: conference more than I like Ryan Day at least. And

645
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 3: here's the big reason why I think that the early

646
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 3: game in Eugene is going to be won by Oregon,

647
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: and I think that's going to carry the Seeds later

648
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: on in the season.

649
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:35,880
Speaker 2: Number five, I have the Ohio State buckets. I'm in

650
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 2: the same boat. Listen.

651
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 4: You know, listen.

652
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,719
Speaker 2: And I was actually talking to Bertie Fratto about this yesterday.

653
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 2: I called him to ask him a couple questions about

654
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 2: Michigan and we got into an Ohio State conversation. Listen.

655
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: I get how good the roster is. I get that

656
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 4: Chip Kelly.

657
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 2: Is now your play caller, but Ryan Day still got

658
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 2: you know, Ryan Day's got to make the big decisions

659
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 2: in the big moments. And Dan Lanning Listen, I know

660
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 2: he hasn't had those big wins yet. He's fear I

661
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 2: love them. I still have my questions about Ryan Day,

662
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 2: which we'll discuss as we break down the bracket further.

663
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 2: But I have Ohio State as the Big ten runner

664
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 2: up at number five.

665
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: Who do you have at number four?

666
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 3: J Martin process of elimination ACC champion Clemson? Okay, I

667
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 3: don't think of there anywhere near the number four team

668
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 3: if you're just on paper looking at it. But I

669
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,160
Speaker 3: think Florida State's not going to be relevant. I think

670
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 3: you look at maybe NC State, Like, if NC State

671
00:32:26,320 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 3: can beat Tennessee earlier in the year, maybe that carries

672
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 3: them on. But I just feel like everybody else is

673
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,200
Speaker 3: just going to be, you know, up and down. So

674
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: just because of that, somebody has to win that conference.

675
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 3: And I'll take Clemson there all right.

676
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 2: I will get to my ACC champion in a minute.

677
00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 2: But at number four, I do have the Big Twelve

678
00:32:43,200 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 2: champion Utah. Utes don't know what you have in the

679
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: Big Twelve, but I listen, I'll just be quick Utah.

680
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean listen, they won eight games last year with

681
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 2: a third string quarterback the entire year. Kyle Whittingham is

682
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 2: that dude. I know the conference is new, I know

683
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 2: the conference will be tough, but I Utah winning the

684
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 2: Big Twelve.

685
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 3: I got Utah at three for exactly what you just said.

686
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 3: I don't need to add anything to it. I think

687
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 3: cam Rising's gonna come back and be really really just

688
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 3: special this year because I know how tough that was

689
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 3: for him last year, just having to sit there and

690
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 3: watch after the year that he had had prior, and

691
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:21,680
Speaker 3: the fact that there it doesn't matter who's there. It

692
00:33:21,720 --> 00:33:24,720
Speaker 3: just seems like Kyle winning aam's gonna win games, and

693
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 3: the same thing's going to be true here. I think

694
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,040
Speaker 3: Utah is gonna be really good all year.

695
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 2: So I'll throw a little curveball at my number three.

696
00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 2: It is the ACC champion. I actually have the Miami

697
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 2: Hurricanes and listen. For people don't follow this on a

698
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:40,320
Speaker 2: day to day basis. Mario Crystaball has loaded up that roster.

699
00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 2: Kim War transfers in from Washington State, twenty six touchdown

700
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,040
Speaker 2: passes a year ago, Damian Martinez really good running back.

701
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,120
Speaker 2: They've recruited well on the lines. I know the criticism

702
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,080
Speaker 2: of Mario Christaball it is that, you know, does he

703
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 2: win enough big games? Listen, he won two pac twelve championships.

704
00:33:58,320 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 2: I don't trust him against you know, the in Kirby

705
00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 2: Smart's of the world, but I think he's just gonna have.

706
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 4: More talent than everybody else.

707
00:34:04,120 --> 00:34:07,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, I definitely could see that. Number two. I've got Oregon.

708
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 3: I got Oregon beating Ohio State early, and that can

709
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:13,520
Speaker 3: play into more later because I do think they will

710
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 3: match up more than once during the season, certainly. But

711
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,920
Speaker 3: I just I like Dan Lanning more than I like

712
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 3: Ryan Day. I like his attitude and I like the

713
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,279
Speaker 3: culture that he creates in the aggressive nature, and I

714
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 3: think that's gonna be the difference maker. So I've got

715
00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: Oregon in their first season the Big Ten, winning that conference.

716
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 2: I do as well. Because we're short on time, I

717
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 2: won't add anything. I can probably guess who your number

718
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 2: one overall seed is sec champ. I'm guessing it's not

719
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:39,920
Speaker 2: Kentucky or Vanderbilt.

720
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 4: Is that fair saying?

721
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 8: No?

722
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 3: I thought about it, but I decided to go with Georgia.

723
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 3: Shut up, Carson Beck prove last year he was really good.

724
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 3: Rosters still loaded. Kirby smart knows what to do on

725
00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: game day. I don't know what else I need to

726
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 3: say here. I mean, their roster's still the best in

727
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,919
Speaker 3: the country, so I'll take them.

728
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 4: I got Georgia at number one.

729
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,319
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what will come back, j mart we

730
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 2: will go and give our official bracket picks. Twelve team

731
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 2: college football Playoff. That's next Fox Sports Radio.

732
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

733
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:15,479
Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio Aeron Torris, Jason Martin

734
00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the tyrack dot Com studios. We are

735
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 2: going through our twelve team college football Playoff bracket.

736
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 4: I'll tell you what JAMRT.

737
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 2: For brevity's sake, why don't you give me your first

738
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 2: round selections and I'll set up j Marts bracket. He

739
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,720
Speaker 2: has the five seed. Remember, top four seeds get a buye.

740
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: So he has the twelve seed Memphis at the fifth

741
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,680
Speaker 2: seed Ohio State eleven seed Tennessee at six seed Texas,

742
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 2: which is a fun one, ten seed Old Miss at

743
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:46,880
Speaker 2: Notre Dame, and then the rematch of the Rose Bowl

744
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:49,919
Speaker 2: Michigan Bama. Why don't you go ahead give me your

745
00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:51,800
Speaker 2: first round playoff selections?

746
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:52,160
Speaker 7: All right?

747
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 3: I got Alabama over Michigan and w should be a

748
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,840
Speaker 3: great football game. I have Ohio State over Memphis. That

749
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 3: one wasn't too hard to If it was Liberty, I

750
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 3: would still feel the same way. I've got Old Miss

751
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 3: over Notre Dame. That's where you're gonna see. The score

752
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 3: just be too much for Notre Dame, I feel like.

753
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,720
Speaker 3: And then I've got Texas over Tennessee and what should

754
00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 3: be a great football game?

755
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 2: All right, So really quickly here, I'm just taking some quick,

756
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,879
Speaker 2: quick quick notes. Hold on one second, so Texas would

757
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,720
Speaker 2: be playing you, okay.

758
00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 4: All right, cool?

759
00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: So I will continue mine I have in the in

760
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:31,359
Speaker 2: this round, I have Michigan at Notre Dame. I do

761
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 2: have Michigan. I guess you would call it a pseudo upset.

762
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 3: Listen.

763
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 2: I still think they're gonna be nice, physical along in

764
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: the trenches. Don't think they're great, but I think the

765
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: matchup works out nicely for them. Ohio State is the

766
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 2: five seed, takes care of Liberty. Old Miss versus Texas

767
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:49,520
Speaker 2: is my seven to ten matchup. That's at Ole Miss shootout.

768
00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: I'll take Old Miss to beat Texas, and then how

769
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 2: about this one in an eleven six matchup at Bryant

770
00:36:55,120 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 2: Denny Stadium. I would have Clemson facing Alabama your quarter finals,

771
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,800
Speaker 2: j Mart, I have most of them written down and

772
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 2: beating Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson, and then Old And

773
00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 2: then I'm kind of tripping over here.

774
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,760
Speaker 3: Oregon, Old Miss Okay in Texas, Utah, Okay, go ahead

775
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 3: later on me, great ball games. I got Georgia beating Bama. Okay,

776
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: Ohio State over Clemson again. Clemson's kind of fugesi at four,

777
00:37:21,640 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 3: but somebody has to win the ACC So I've got

778
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:26,719
Speaker 3: Ohio State there, I got Oregon over Old Missing Man.

779
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 3: That's gonna be fun. And then Texas over Utah. So

780
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:34,400
Speaker 3: that's my final four of them being Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas.

781
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 2: All right, I got a few upsets here in the quarterfinals.

782
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:40,800
Speaker 2: I do have Georgia as the one seed beating the

783
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 2: nine seed Michigan, the game we all wanted last year

784
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:45,200
Speaker 2: didn't get it. We get it this year. This is

785
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 2: an upset. I got Utah beating the Ohio State buck guys.

786
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,399
Speaker 2: Ohio State's talented Michigan. Utah is tough, so we'll see

787
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 2: if that happens. Alabama playing the third seed Miami Hurricanes.

788
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 2: I actually have Alabama. I don't know if it'd even

789
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,399
Speaker 2: be considered an upset, but beating Miami. And I have

790
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:10,640
Speaker 2: Oregon overall miss So my semi finals are Oregon, Bama, Georgia, Utah.

791
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 4: J Mart, Who do you got in your final four?

792
00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:12,120
Speaker 4: Winning those games?

793
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:15,239
Speaker 3: All right? I got Georgia versus Ohio State. I got

794
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 3: Ohio State. Oh my goodness, let's let's easy there, fellow

795
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 3: Ohio State. I've got them winning this game. And then

796
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,800
Speaker 3: I've got in Oregon Texas, which I hope that happens

797
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,760
Speaker 3: because I want to see it. I've got Texas beating Oregon.

798
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,280
Speaker 3: Oh wow, So my final is going to be Ohio

799
00:38:33,320 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 3: State Texas in a in a in a barn burner

800
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 3: of a game.

801
00:38:38,960 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, that's a great helmet game, two

802
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 2: iconic brands. My final four kind of boring because I

803
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:49,400
Speaker 2: got Georgia against Utah, Oregon against Alabama. I got Georgia

804
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,760
Speaker 2: beating Utah Oregon Alabama. So my one in two seeds

805
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:55,640
Speaker 2: to advance Georgia versus Oregon. J Mart, who do you

806
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:56,800
Speaker 2: have is your national champion?

807
00:38:56,920 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 3: I've got proof of concept? Okay, as my national champion.

808
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,600
Speaker 3: Twelve team playoff? What would be the best storyline imaginable?

809
00:39:06,320 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 3: One of the teams that wouldn't have qualified in a

810
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: year past winning it. I've got five versus six in

811
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:15,120
Speaker 3: my final, and I've got six winning at all. I

812
00:39:15,719 --> 00:39:18,160
Speaker 3: am taking a little bit of a flyer. I think

813
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 3: Sarkisian and Texas shockingly are going to win the national championship.

814
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,479
Speaker 4: Listen, plenty of talent there.

815
00:39:24,600 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 2: I am not going to argue at all with that,

816
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 2: because sark has proven to be a great coach, like

817
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 2: you said, you know, revived his career. I have Georgia

818
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 2: over Oregon. I went so back and forth on this one.

819
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: You know, I really think Oregon is actually really a

820
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 2: pretty complete team. But I look at Georgia and here's

821
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,760
Speaker 2: the crazy part about Georgia. We think about the defense.

822
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:47,640
Speaker 2: This that you mentioned the name earlier, Carson Beck. People

823
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: are talking about him as the number one overall pick.

824
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 2: You know, they had the fifth rank total offense last year.

825
00:39:53,280 --> 00:39:56,239
Speaker 2: People again, people think of the defense. I just don't

826
00:39:56,280 --> 00:39:58,640
Speaker 2: think this team would be slowed down. I have Georgia

827
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,920
Speaker 2: over Oregon as my national champion.

828
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 3: Jmartin, I can't disagree. That's chalk, but that is college

829
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 3: football atmspray boring. I went proof of concept and you went, yeah,

830
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:10,840
Speaker 3: we don't need a twelve team playoff.

831
00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 2: Jmart has Texas over Ohio State. I have a SEC

832
00:40:16,719 --> 00:40:19,960
Speaker 2: over Big ten Georgia Oregon. Tell you what, Jamart, that

833
00:40:20,040 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 2: was a lot of fun. We'll come back Switch Gears,

834
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:24,280
Speaker 2: NFL a lot to discuss.

835
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:25,120
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio.

844
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 4: Our one was all college football.

845
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: We talked about out the stunner in Dublin, Georgia Tech,

846
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 2: the walk off field goal to beat tenth ranked Florida State.

847
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:11,640
Speaker 2: Then we gave our college football twelve team playoff brackets,

848
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:16,120

Speaker 2: If you missed any of that, make sure to go

850
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:21,080
Speaker 2: back and download the podcast. We'll also revisit a lot

851
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:25,359
Speaker 2: of college football in our three at one am Eastern Time.

852
00:41:25,680 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 2: By the way, in baseball to Sega, was just telling

853
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 2: you about that Dodgers game. It is final as they

854
00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 2: lose in extras at home against the Race. Let's switch gears, though,

855
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:41,240
Speaker 2: j Mart from the college game to the NFL. And

856
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:43,799
Speaker 2: as I was getting ready for the show today, listen.

857
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: You know last day, as we said basically of the preseason,

858
00:41:47,960 --> 00:41:52,040
Speaker 2: preseason cannot end fast enough. You know, a couple guys

859
00:41:52,080 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 2: played today, but for the most part we know what

860
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 2: we're seeing. But I'll tell you this. I saw this

861
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,400
Speaker 2: piece of news as I was coming in today, and

862
00:41:59,480 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 2: you just talk about one devastating piece of news for

863
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 2: a team that simply can seemingly cannot afford to take

864
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: any more bad news. The Dallas Cowboys, so Deron Bland

865
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 2: stress fracture in his left foot, kind of complained of

866
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,200
Speaker 2: some pain in that foot earlier in training camp. They

867
00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:26,720
Speaker 2: do the test, whatever comes back, he has a stress

868
00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:29,880
Speaker 2: fracture in that left foot. He is out six to

869
00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:34,840
Speaker 2: eight weeks, probably keeping him out till probably essentially, you know,

870
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,960
Speaker 2: mid to late October. And this is a team that

871
00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 2: is obviously kind of in a make or break year.

872
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,799
Speaker 2: We know that they've had the regular season success, we

873
00:42:42,920 --> 00:42:46,960
Speaker 2: know that they have at the same time also had

874
00:42:46,960 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 2: the postseason disappointments.

875
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 4: And you look at the front end of that schedule.

876
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 2: You know, Week three they play Baltimore at home, and

877
00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 2: by the end of October they will have also played

878
00:42:56,280 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: Detroit at San Francisco. First week of no November, they're

879
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:05,279
Speaker 2: at Atlanta at Cleveland as well. There's no breaks, and

880
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:08,560
Speaker 2: for an organization that just just you know, again they

881
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:12,560
Speaker 2: they haven't gotten any breaks so far all off season.

882
00:43:12,600 --> 00:43:14,160
Speaker 4: This is just more devastating news.

883
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:19,799
Speaker 3: It is, and you just get the sense that it's

884
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 3: gonna be a tough year in Dallas. It just got

885
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 3: guys looking for money. You have the wrong kind of

886
00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:29,080
Speaker 3: stories all off season long, and now you've got this

887
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 3: on top of you have an all pro cornerback that

888
00:43:31,440 --> 00:43:35,040
Speaker 3: you're absolutely going to need the conference. And you've still

889
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 3: got Daniel Jones, so that's a win. But you also

890
00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 3: inherited Jaden Daniels, so you're gonna have him, You're gonna

891
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 3: have Jalen Hurts, and you're gonna be in a bunch

892
00:43:44,719 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 3: of tight games most likely because you're the Cowboys, and

893
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: that's just how it works. It just it doesn't look good.

894
00:43:50,680 --> 00:43:53,880
Speaker 3: It looks like a lost season before it even starts.

895
00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 3: I know that is just crazy overreaction, but hey, we're

896
00:43:57,280 --> 00:44:00,000
Speaker 3: doing over unders on that division a little bit later

897
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 3: on in the program, So don't want to give away

898
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:06,720
Speaker 3: what we're gonna do there. But this is the last

899
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,960
Speaker 3: thing a Dallas Cowboys fan needed to hear, you know,

900
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 3: right before the regular season kicks off.

901
00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: Well, and that's why I wanted to talk about it

902
00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 2: is we will do our over unders on the NFC

903
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:18,240
Speaker 2: East and the NFC North here in just a moment

904
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 2: the other side of the break. But why I want

905
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: to talk about it is. It's just been such a

906
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 2: weird offseason in Dallas. By the way, Ceedee Lamb. We

907
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,759
Speaker 2: all know in contract negotiations, the reports are that the

908
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,919
Speaker 2: Cowboys were ready to make them the second highest paid

909
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,040
Speaker 2: wide receiver in the league.

910
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:34,160
Speaker 4: That wasn't good enough.

911
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:38,799
Speaker 2: He did the whole social media Instagram Twitter post where

912
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,400
Speaker 2: he's working out and you know, the doubters hate me,

913
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,720
Speaker 2: and you know, I'm ready when when they're ready.

914
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 4: And so it's just a weird year. And I'm with

915
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:47,960
Speaker 4: you on them. Is that?

916
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,160
Speaker 2: And again we'll do the over under officially here in

917
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: just a few minutes. But I just look at them

918
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 2: and sometimes like sometimes you just you know, you just

919
00:44:56,880 --> 00:45:00,279
Speaker 2: know before you know, and you look at this team,

920
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,640
Speaker 2: is that there's just so much noise. And then I

921
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 2: think the other thing j Mart, which I know has

922
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:10,479
Speaker 2: been a conversation, but nothing very obvious that was done

923
00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 2: in the off season to improve the team. Now they

924
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,680
Speaker 2: had a couple, you know, a couple of their draft

925
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,840
Speaker 2: picks are are playing well early.

926
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 4: In camp, especially along the old line.

927
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,640
Speaker 2: They drafted Tyler Geyton in the first round out of Oklahoma,

928
00:45:22,040 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: and the reports are that Cooper bebe a third round

929
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:26,760
Speaker 2: pick is going to be a starter along the offensive

930
00:45:26,760 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: line as well.

931
00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 4: But it's just one of those things.

932
00:45:29,080 --> 00:45:31,360
Speaker 2: And I know it's been a narrative all off season,

933
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: but it is worth revisiting because we are now, you know,

934
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: two weeks for tomorrow, we're kicking games off Ceedee Lamb

935
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 2: has not been at basically anything all off season. You know,

936
00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:45,200
Speaker 2: Michaeh Parsons is having to answer all sorts of questions

937
00:45:45,239 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: about his podcast. Is he's spending too much time on

938
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:50,279
Speaker 2: his off the field interest. Obviously, Dak has his own

939
00:45:50,719 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 2: things to prove, Mike McCarthy has his own thing to prove.

940
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 4: And I think the big thing that.

941
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:58,920
Speaker 2: Stands out though, is that again it's not as though, hey,

942
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 2: you're dealing with Dak, you're dealing with CD and whatever.

943
00:46:02,400 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 2: But you had this otherwise awesome offseason where yeah, you

944
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,520
Speaker 2: added two or three impact guys that we know we're

945
00:46:08,560 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 2: gonna play in the draft, and the free agency period

946
00:46:10,920 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 2: was awesome, and uh, you know, the running back position

947
00:46:13,520 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 2: is figured out. Let me ask you, like, like, do

948
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 2: you feel like what do you think is going through

949
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:22,359
Speaker 2: Jerry Jones's mind right now? And the only reason I

950
00:46:22,400 --> 00:46:24,920
Speaker 2: ask is because you know, There's been all sorts of

951
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 2: narratives that is he trying to you know, not put

952
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 2: Mike McCarthy.

953
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,520
Speaker 4: I don't want to say not in a position to succeed.

954
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,600
Speaker 2: But basically kind of a hey, you know, we're not

955
00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 2: gonna give you any extra tools in the toolbox.

956
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 4: You got to go figure it out.

957
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: But then I've heard the same thing with Dak is that, hey,

958
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,839
Speaker 2: you know, we're not in a rush to sign CD

959
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 2: because we want to see what you Look, what do

960
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 2: you think is actually going through Jerry Jones's mind this

961
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,400
Speaker 2: offseason as this roster came together, and the issues that

962
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:54,080
Speaker 2: that that were you know, obvious even two three months ago,

963
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:55,439
Speaker 2: are still prevailing now.

964
00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:59,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's tough to say he can't feel that good

965
00:46:59,120 --> 00:47:01,960
Speaker 3: about it. I mean there've been times when I don't

966
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 3: know what he says publicly sometimes I don't know if

967
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 3: it replicates the way it feels privately, Like inside, he

968
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,719
Speaker 3: has to know this is not a team that's going

969
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:12,400
Speaker 3: to be contending for a Super Bowl, and I know

970
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,920
Speaker 3: he cares about winning a lot. He can be kind

971
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 3: of stubborn. He can also hang on to people a

972
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,040
Speaker 3: little bit too long. I don't think Mike McCarthy's taking

973
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 3: you to the promised Land. I never did. Did you

974
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:26,319
Speaker 3: just pull the same thing that the Chargers did, just

975
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: throwing a year away? Yep? And and maybe next year

976
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:32,040
Speaker 3: you're gonna have a new coach and a new quarterback.

977
00:47:32,239 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: I don't know. But I can't sense or I can't

978
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 3: I don't see where he would get the confidence or

979
00:47:38,840 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 3: the optimism just if you just look at it. I

980
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,919
Speaker 3: don't feel like you have to do deep, deep level

981
00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:50,600
Speaker 3: analysis to see all the red flags and warning signs

982
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,919
Speaker 3: of a team that is set up to be five

983
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,720
Speaker 3: hundred or maybe even worse.

984
00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 2: Let me let me throw a curveball at you with

985
00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:02,960
Speaker 2: a different team there actually playing right now. Because this

986
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:03,920
Speaker 2: is a guy I know you have a lot of

987
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 2: opinions on. But Deshaun Watson's supposed to play tonight final

988
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:12,360
Speaker 2: preseason game for the Cleveland Browns. They're currently playing in Seattle,

989
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:17,040
Speaker 2: and Kevin Stefanski earlier this week said that he expected

990
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: all of the starters that were available to play, and

991
00:48:21,880 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 2: at the time the thought was Deshaun Watson was going

992
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: to be involved in that. But of course we have

993
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: arm soreness. You know, there was a there was a

994
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 2: shoulder issue last year, and of course we all know

995
00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 2: team got red hot with with Joe Flacco in the

996
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 2: lineup after Deshaun Watson went out with injury. What do

997
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,879
Speaker 2: you make of this guy? I know what we think

998
00:48:42,920 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 2: of him as a dude, but you know this is

999
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 2: a guy.

1000
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 3: You know.

1001
00:48:46,200 --> 00:48:49,279
Speaker 2: We talk about all these quarterback contracts, Trevor Lawrence, this

1002
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,520
Speaker 2: two of that, Sean Watson most guaranteed money of the

1003
00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 2: history of the NFL, and I think it's pretty safe

1004
00:48:56,640 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: to say has not lived up to that contract so far.

1005
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 3: No, and I don't see anything changing. I just I

1006
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 3: feel like the Browns are a really good football team

1007
00:49:03,719 --> 00:49:06,000
Speaker 3: that still needs a quarterback, and they've needed a quarterback

1008
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,600
Speaker 3: seemingly forever. But you look at it, you know, you

1009
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:10,880
Speaker 3: go with Deshaun Watson, you get rid of Baker Mayfield.

1010
00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:12,879
Speaker 3: And I think Baker Mayfield this point is a better

1011
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:18,239
Speaker 3: player than Shaun Watson. It's wild, that's crazy, it really is.

1012
00:49:18,320 --> 00:49:19,799
Speaker 3: Like I said it, and I didn't say it with

1013
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: any hesitation, like I didn't have to. I've got a

1014
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,799
Speaker 3: caveat this No, Like I just I would rather have

1015
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield at this point than Deshaun Watson. Not just

1016
00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,120
Speaker 3: for the baggage, but the baggage plays into it. It

1017
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,000
Speaker 3: has to. I think what we're looking at is a

1018
00:49:34,080 --> 00:49:37,399
Speaker 3: thirty for thirty in a couple of years on how

1019
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 3: even the comeback attempt after everything that went down failed

1020
00:49:42,080 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 3: miserably and the Browns look worse and worse by the day,

1021
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 3: because I mean, Joe Flacco outplayed the guy last year.

1022
00:49:52,320 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 3: Like you think about it, all the way across the board,

1023
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,279
Speaker 3: they had everything that you want. They've got receivers, they've

1024
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,960
Speaker 3: got an incredible running back, they've got an awesome defense,

1025
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 3: they got a head coach this forward thinking offensively, they

1026
00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:06,440
Speaker 3: had everything that you want except for a quarterback that

1027
00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:08,680
Speaker 3: you could trust. So they end up with a dude

1028
00:50:08,760 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 3: that I didn't even know he was ever going to

1029
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 3: be in the league again, and he's out there, Deshaun

1030
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:18,360
Speaker 3: Watson at best at the he's lost a step and

1031
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,920
Speaker 3: a half. He just doesn't feel like the same player.

1032
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,400
Speaker 3: And it doesn't feel like this is a rust issue anymore.

1033
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,600
Speaker 3: This just he stayed away so long and he came

1034
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:28,960
Speaker 3: back and it felt like the field had already lapped him.

1035
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 3: And he just has not been consistent in any way,

1036
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 3: shape or form.

1037
00:50:32,560 --> 00:50:35,440
Speaker 2: Since yeah, no, And let's and I think everybody remembers,

1038
00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: but for people who don't, you know, set out that

1039
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:42,560
Speaker 2: entire season. First off, remember there was the weird trade demand,

1040
00:50:42,560 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 2: which I'll be blunting. I never understood that the Texans

1041
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 2: are not you know, certainly not. They weren't the most

1042
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, well run organization at the time. But it

1043
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:55,880
Speaker 2: was also you know, they were making the playoffs every

1044
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:58,000
Speaker 2: year with him at quarterbacks. So he sits out, then

1045
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,439
Speaker 2: obviously all the off the field stuff happens, then there's

1046
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 2: a suspension, and so it has just been very weird.

1047
00:51:04,520 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 4: And then again to the point that.

1048
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 2: You made jmart I think, like I don't want to

1049
00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,239
Speaker 2: say it's easy to forget, but six games played for

1050
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 2: him last year, eleven hundred yards passing, seven touchdowns, four interceptions.

1051
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco five games played, sixteen hundred yards passing, thirteen touchdowns,

1052
00:51:19,920 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: eight interceptions. And so you know, listen, I know Flacco

1053
00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:24,719
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a flash in the pen,

1054
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,320
Speaker 2: you know, da da da da da, you know whatever.

1055
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:30,359
Speaker 2: But I bring it up because he was not good

1056
00:51:30,440 --> 00:51:33,239
Speaker 2: last year and now you got whatever this this this

1057
00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 2: shoulder thing is he's supposed to play he's not playing.

1058
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:39,840
Speaker 2: What does it mean again? The Browns are in Seattle,

1059
00:51:39,880 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 2: playing right now, the final preseason game of their preseason,

1060
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:45,399
Speaker 2: and it's just like it's just one of those weird deals.

1061
00:51:45,440 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 2: And then I think the other thing that's obvious is,

1062
00:51:48,120 --> 00:51:49,879
Speaker 2: you know they were able to make a run last year,

1063
00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,760
Speaker 2: but you know, weird quarterback situation.

1064
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 4: That division is so tough.

1065
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 2: You know, we know who Baltimore is, if Joe Burrow's

1066
00:51:56,920 --> 00:51:59,759
Speaker 2: healthy whatever, even the Steelers like. And we'll talk about

1067
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 2: the whole weird situation with the Steelers later. Mike Tomlin

1068
00:52:03,880 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: is not committing to either quarterback right now.

1069
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: Really strange, but they but they play hard.

1070
00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 2: Every week and if you don't show up, you know,

1071
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,879
Speaker 2: they're coming off a ten and seven year I don't

1072
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,719
Speaker 2: think they're gonna be great, but they'll play it tough

1073
00:52:14,719 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 2: if you don't show up to play. And it's like

1074
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,839
Speaker 2: the Browns are just in this weird spot where I

1075
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,520
Speaker 2: just I have no idea what to expect from them

1076
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 2: this season.

1077
00:52:23,440 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 3: No, I mean I really don't either. I think that

1078
00:52:25,600 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 3: they have all that you want, but they're in the

1079
00:52:27,680 --> 00:52:31,520
Speaker 3: wrong division and they just the quarterback situation being so

1080
00:52:33,640 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 3: just Caddie Wampus, which is something my wife likes to

1081
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 3: say a lot.

1082
00:52:36,880 --> 00:52:37,399
Speaker 4: What does that mean?

1083
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,640
Speaker 3: It just means off, Gilter, Sure, it just means it's

1084
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:44,400
Speaker 3: just not right generally. I just if you don't have

1085
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 3: a quarterback going into this league, especially in a division

1086
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:51,320
Speaker 3: that's got Lamar Jackson and Joe Burrow, that's gonna be

1087
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:53,000
Speaker 3: tough for me to feel too good about you.

1088
00:52:54,080 --> 00:52:55,120
Speaker 4: I don't disagree.

1089
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown's, by the way, are playing again in Seattle

1090
00:52:58,120 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 2: twenty seven thirteen.

1091
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:01,880
Speaker 4: The score in the third.

1092
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:04,839
Speaker 2: Quarter to Shaun Watson sits out, even though again Kevin

1093
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 2: Stefanski had said earlier in the week that the expectation

1094
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: was that all of the starters would play. Fox Sports

Speaker 4: It's great. Talked to week zero.

1123
00:54:49,200 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 2: In hour one, we will revisit college football, but we're

1124
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: talking NFL now. Over the last two weeks, we have

1125
00:54:57,239 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 2: started going team by team, division by vision and giving

1126
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 2: over under win total picks and predictions for all thirty

1127
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 2: two teams in the league. We have done the entire AFC.

1128
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 2: Today we switch gears to the NFC. Let's start with

1129
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:17,479
Speaker 2: the NFC East. Mary, give us some music producer, Ian,

1130
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 2: who are we starting with? We are starting with the

1131
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:23,799
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. Who's over under is set at ten and

1132
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:24,640
Speaker 2: a half wins?

1133
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:25,560
Speaker 7: What do you think?

1134
00:55:25,680 --> 00:55:25,839
Speaker 4: Erin?

1135
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:29,319
Speaker 2: So, I'm gonna say something a little controversial, because you know,

1136
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Nick Sirianni fan. Apparently nobody is,

1137
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 2: including Jalen Hurts. But that's neither here nor there. But

1138
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 2: I look at the Eagles, and for all the chaos

1139
00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:43,920
Speaker 2: of a year ago, they did end up going eleven

1140
00:55:43,960 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 2: and six.

1141
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:46,800
Speaker 4: And so you look at the schedule.

1142
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 2: It is by no means easy, but it doesn't feel

1143
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 2: as hard as you would think that a schedule would

1144
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:56,600
Speaker 2: be of that magnitude. You look at the front end

1145
00:55:56,640 --> 00:56:01,520
Speaker 2: of the schedule, Saints, Bucks, Browns. We just talked about

1146
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:07,399
Speaker 2: the chaos there New York Football Giants. I think there's

1147
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:10,280
Speaker 2: eleven wins on this schedule. Back half, he got the Panthers,

1148
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:15,520
Speaker 2: the Steelers obviously, the Commanders and the Giants. Again, I

1149
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,680
Speaker 2: don't know that I feel great about it. You know,

1150
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:19,439
Speaker 2: I'm going under.

1151
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:19,840
Speaker 4: Forget it.

1152
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:22,040
Speaker 2: I was gonna go over. I'm going under. And that

1153
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:24,680
Speaker 2: was a last minute pivot. I will say ten and

1154
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:26,399
Speaker 2: seven in the under, I.

1155
00:56:26,360 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 3: Got them eleven and six. I think they lose to

1156
00:56:29,239 --> 00:56:31,720
Speaker 3: Green Bay in Brazil, then they're gonna beat the Falcons

1157
00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,640
Speaker 3: and then go four and one in their next five.

1158
00:56:34,239 --> 00:56:36,759
Speaker 3: I think they'll lose to Cincinnati on the road. Then

1159
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,560
Speaker 3: they'll go two and two and split losing to the Rams,

1160
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,120
Speaker 3: and actually I think they're gonna lose against the Commanders

1161
00:56:42,160 --> 00:56:45,360
Speaker 3: and then they're gonna win their last five. So I

1162
00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 3: think other than December first at Baltimore, they're gonna they're

1163
00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:51,960
Speaker 3: gonna finish strong. And that's where I have them just

1164
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,680
Speaker 3: a half game over at eleven and six. Very good.

1165
00:56:54,760 --> 00:56:57,399
Speaker 7: What do you got next to you in Dallas? Cowboys

1166
00:56:57,560 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 7: over under nine and a half wins? What do you

1167
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,279
Speaker 7: think erin listen, we just talked about the Cowboys. You know,

1168
00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:07,239
Speaker 7: what do they say about pornography? You know, when you know,

1169
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:09,239
Speaker 7: you know whatever that's saying.

1170
00:57:09,320 --> 00:57:10,799
Speaker 3: No, when you see it, you know it when you

1171
00:57:10,840 --> 00:57:11,200
Speaker 3: see it.

1172
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:15,840
Speaker 2: Well, when there's a chaotic situation in professional sports, you

1173
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:18,440
Speaker 2: know when you see it. And the Dallas Cowboys, listen,

1174
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 2: it's a combination of self inflicted stuff. You know, Dak

1175
00:57:21,160 --> 00:57:23,640
Speaker 2: wants a new contract, CD wants a new contract, Michael

1176
00:57:23,640 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 2: Parsons wants a new contract. But then also there's just

1177
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,080
Speaker 2: some flat, some flat bad luck. We just talked about

1178
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 2: Deron Bland in the last segment. He is out probably

1179
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: until the end of October. And I'll tell you what

1180
00:57:37,320 --> 00:57:40,760
Speaker 2: schedule is. You know, listen, the Cowboys are America's team.

1181
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 2: It's a pretty it's not an impossible schedule, but it's

1182
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 2: tough in the early middle parts.

1183
00:57:46,120 --> 00:57:47,040
Speaker 4: We just talked about it.

1184
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 2: No, darn Bland, and you're playing the Ravens early, You're

1185
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,640
Speaker 2: playing the Lions mid November or mid October. You're playing

1186
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers late October. He could be out

1187
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: for all of that.

1188
00:57:57,000 --> 00:57:57,560
Speaker 4: Ceedee lamb.

1189
00:57:57,600 --> 00:57:59,280
Speaker 2: We don't know when he's gonna be back. I gotta

1190
00:57:59,320 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 2: go under the win total there.

1191
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:03,640
Speaker 3: Yep, me too. You said nine and a half. What's

1192
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 3: funny is I don't. I didn't look at the over

1193
00:58:05,520 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 3: under numbers at all. I just actually went through the

1194
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 3: schedule and put together a record. And I've been half

1195
00:58:10,880 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 3: on one side and half on the other here because

1196
00:58:13,880 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 3: I've got them nine and eight. I got them opening

1197
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 3: up too and two and then going two and four

1198
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 3: over their next six. I think they lose to Detroit.

1199
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,880
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna lose on Sunday night football at Pittsburgh.

1200
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:27,400
Speaker 3: That's just a tough place to play. And then Philadelphia

1201
00:58:27,440 --> 00:58:29,080
Speaker 3: and Houston are gonna get them, and then they're gonna

1202
00:58:29,080 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 3: finish strong, similar to Eagles. I got them five and

1203
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 3: two losing to the Giants and the Commanders, Uh, just

1204
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 3: because that's the kind of thing that happens in that division.

1205
00:58:36,880 --> 00:58:38,760
Speaker 3: So I've got them nine and eight, so a half

1206
00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:39,640
Speaker 3: game under.

1207
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 4: All right?

1208
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 10: All right?

1209
00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 7: Next up we have the Washington Commanders. So you know,

1210
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 7: the Dallas defensive coordinator, Dan Quinn is now the head

1211
00:58:48,600 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 7: coach for the Commanders. Jane Daniel's rookie quarterback. They're over

1212
00:58:52,280 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 7: under six and a half. Aaron, what do you think.

1213
00:58:54,960 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 2: I got an over on the Washington Commanders If I

1214
00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 2: have Philadelphia under and I have Dallas somebody's got to

1215
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 2: win games in this division. Schedule obviously a last play

1216
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:09,920
Speaker 2: schedule you get obviously at various points throughout the season,

1217
00:59:09,960 --> 00:59:14,040
Speaker 2: you get the Panthers, the Steelers, the tight Ends, the Saints.

1218
00:59:14,080 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 2: You know, you play the obviously the NFC South in

1219
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 2: the cross division games two against the Giants. Again, somebody's

1220
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:23,520
Speaker 2: gotta win games in these divisions. In this division, I

1221
00:59:23,680 --> 00:59:28,320
Speaker 2: like Jayden Daniels. I actually like the coaching staff. I

1222
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 2: think dan Quinn is gonna hand over that offense to

1223
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:33,480
Speaker 2: Cliff Kingsbury. Remember to dan Quinn made that Super Bowl

1224
00:59:33,800 --> 00:59:36,600
Speaker 2: when he had a really good offensive coordinator and Kyle Shanahan.

1225
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:40,000
Speaker 2: I am going over six and a half wins for

1226
00:59:40,040 --> 00:59:40,960
Speaker 2: the Washington Commands.

1227
00:59:40,960 --> 00:59:44,800
Speaker 3: So Washington nine and eight, Okay, Okay, I've got them

1228
00:59:44,880 --> 00:59:48,520
Speaker 3: way over. I think they're gonna have And I don't

1229
00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,160
Speaker 3: like dan Quinn as a head coach. I shouldn't say

1230
00:59:51,200 --> 00:59:52,960
Speaker 3: that I don't like him as a head coach, but

1231
00:59:53,080 --> 00:59:54,320
Speaker 3: I do like some of the rest of the staff.

1232
00:59:54,360 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 3: But I mean he also wins games in a regular

1233
00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 3: season as a head coach. I got him three and

1234
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 3: one to start losing it Cincinnat and then they'll split

1235
01:00:01,480 --> 01:00:04,840
Speaker 3: their next four, and then they'll split their next four

1236
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 3: after that, and then I think they're actually gonna hit

1237
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 3: a wall and finish one in three. But nine and

1238
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,120
Speaker 3: eight for the Commanders, So I am way above. I

1239
01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 3: think there there's got to be a couple of those

1240
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: teams to kind of come from nowhere that you aren't expecting.

1241
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:19,840
Speaker 3: I think it's going to be them, because I think

1242
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 3: Jad and Daniels could be that kind of a difference

1243
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,760
Speaker 3: maker for them. Very good.

1244
01:00:23,800 --> 01:00:26,480
Speaker 4: We got one team left in this division.

1245
01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:29,520
Speaker 7: It's a doozy. What do you got, a producer, ian,

1246
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:33,439
Speaker 7: It is a doozy. The New York Giants. They're over

1247
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 7: under a set at six and a half wins as well,

1248
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,200
Speaker 7: same as the Commanders. A little bit different situation. What

1249
01:00:39,240 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 7: do you think erin, Yeah, I'd say it's a very

1250
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 7: different situation. So I think they're gonna be terrible.

1251
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 2: I think it's an under and I think the thing

1252
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,960
Speaker 2: that stands out to me, and we talked about this

1253
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,520
Speaker 2: a little bit last week. First of all, six and

1254
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 2: eleven last year, and I know Daniel Jones got hurt,

1255
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,040
Speaker 2: but you know, Daniel Jones is Daniel Jones. And but

1256
01:00:58,040 --> 01:00:59,680
Speaker 2: but what stands out to me is we talked about

1257
01:00:59,680 --> 01:01:01,760
Speaker 2: it last week after that Daniel Jones game when he

1258
01:01:01,760 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 2: threw two picks, including the pick six. Is like, I

1259
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 2: don't think Brian Dable likes him, and I don't think

1260
01:01:08,080 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 2: he trusts him. And I think, listen, we saw it

1261
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:14,640
Speaker 2: last year with Philly when there is no harmony between

1262
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 2: the coach and the quarterback. I just think it's it's

1263
01:01:18,400 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 2: destined for failure. I don't know where the talent is.

1264
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:23,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I know Elite Nighbors is pretty good, but

1265
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:25,600
Speaker 2: to who does he have throwing the football to him?

1266
01:01:25,640 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 2: So I think this is an under I think it's

1267
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,320
Speaker 2: insane that the Washington Commanders have the same win total

1268
01:01:31,320 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: as the New York Football Jist.

1269
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 3: Yes, so I've got the Giants six and eleven, so

1270
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:37,360
Speaker 3: i've got them under as well, pretty close to the

1271
01:01:37,400 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 3: six and a half. But I've got him under. I

1272
01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,320
Speaker 3: got him two and two to start and then lose

1273
01:01:40,320 --> 01:01:42,640
Speaker 3: four or five. I think they're gonna lose at Seattle,

1274
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:45,880
Speaker 3: to Cincinnati, to Philadelphia to Pittsburgh. Then they're gonna beat

1275
01:01:45,920 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 3: the Commanders at home. But that's gonna put him three

1276
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 3: and six through nine, and then I have him going

1277
01:01:50,040 --> 01:01:52,000
Speaker 3: three and five and their last eight. I'm with you,

1278
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,800
Speaker 3: every indicator is off. I don't think the coach and

1279
01:01:54,840 --> 01:01:57,200
Speaker 3: the quarterback are on the same page. There's still too

1280
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:01,400
Speaker 3: much missing right now. And I also don't think that

1281
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,960
Speaker 3: the loss of Saquon Barkley's going to do them any

1282
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:04,680
Speaker 3: favors either.

1283
01:02:05,080 --> 01:02:06,479
Speaker 4: And FC East is in the book.

1284
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 2: Jmrt and I agree on Dallas under nine and a half,

1285
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 2: Washington over six and a half, the New York Giants

1286
01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:13,880
Speaker 2: under six.

1287
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 4: And a half.

1288
01:02:14,600 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 2: I have Philly under ten and a half at ten

1289
01:02:18,160 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 2: and seven. J mart has them over at eleven and six.

1290
01:02:22,160 --> 01:02:24,920
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Aeron Torris, Jason Martin will come back

1291
01:02:25,520 --> 01:02:29,120
Speaker 2: and we will talk just about a fascinating division, the

1292
01:02:29,280 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: NFC North.

1293
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 4: That's next.

1294
01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,760
Speaker 2: Before we get to it, though, let's toss it over

1295
01:02:33,800 --> 01:02:36,760
Speaker 2: the news desk, Steve de Sega, what's trending, my friend?

1296
01:02:36,760 --> 01:02:39,840
Speaker 10: We've got late night college football from Hawaii. Not on

1297
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 10: TV though, No unless you're in Hawaii, of course, otherwise

1298
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:44,680
Speaker 10: you need some sort of app I'm.

1299
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: Here with you in Hawaii, I probably wouldn't be on here.

1300
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:48,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's true.

1301
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:50,440
Speaker 2: I did my honeymoon in Hawaii one year and they

1302
01:02:50,440 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 2: were playing week zero, tried to thought about trying to

1303
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,560
Speaker 2: convince my wife to go, and then I realized I

1304
01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 2: didn't want to get a divorce on my honeymoon, so

1305
01:02:59,000 --> 01:02:59,960
Speaker 2: we flipped the.

1306
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 10: So you know, they play on campus, the smaller stadium.

1307
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 10: Now I'm next to the basketball arena. It's not a

1308
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 10: Looha stadium. That dangerous place is closed, and so it's

1309
01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,040
Speaker 10: I don't know, ten thousand seats maybe right next to

1310
01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:11,720
Speaker 10: the we're.

1311
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:12,360
Speaker 4: Playing at Aloha.

1312
01:03:12,400 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: When I was there, I don't even think we were

1313
01:03:14,280 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 2: on the right island. And I was like, oh, maybe

1314
01:03:16,320 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 2: I could rearrange our trip to get to this, and

1315
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:19,920
Speaker 2: then I was like, I don't really care that much

1316
01:03:19,920 --> 01:03:20,240
Speaker 2: about that.

1317
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:23,000
Speaker 10: Next Saturday night, it's going to be UCLA at Hawaii.

1318
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:24,160
Speaker 4: If you were.

1319
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:27,400
Speaker 10: Unaware how tonight's visiting team made it to Hawaii, who

1320
01:03:27,440 --> 01:03:29,120
Speaker 10: was the story? I will get to that in just

1321
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,560
Speaker 10: a few seconds. But currently in this late college football game,

1322
01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 10: it's an early score for Hawaii seven nothing, the lead

1323
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:38,400
Speaker 10: over Delaware State in the first quarter. This is a

1324
01:03:38,400 --> 01:03:41,080
Speaker 10: Delaware State team that went one in ten last year,

1325
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,960
Speaker 10: and half the losses were blowouts. Of course, Hawaii was

1326
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:46,160
Speaker 10: only five and eight last year, and that included a

1327
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 10: win against Albany. Hawaii opened last season with losses to

1328
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,280
Speaker 10: Vanderbilt and Stanford, and later lost to New Mexico and

1329
01:03:54,520 --> 01:03:58,080
Speaker 10: San Diego State. So Delaware State, the visiting team tonight

1330
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:02,200
Speaker 10: at least made it there because originally they missed their

1331
01:04:02,240 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 10: flight to Hawaii. Shuttle bus delay was the problem. You see,

1332
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:09,240
Speaker 10: they had wanted a direct flight. It's all good thinking.

1333
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 10: They didn't want to have to have a couple of

1334
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 10: connections going from Delaware to Hawaii. So why don't we

1335
01:04:14,440 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 10: just hire a shuttle bus company, have them bust us

1336
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:20,280
Speaker 10: to New York and will fly out of JFK Direct.

1337
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 10: That was the deal, until, of course, the motorcoach company

1338
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,600
Speaker 10: said in a statement, we miss picking up Delaware State

1339
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 10: due to an internal scheduling malfunction in our reservation system.

1340
01:04:34,720 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 10: Delay in picking up the traveling party. So once they

1341
01:04:37,760 --> 01:04:40,360
Speaker 10: got to New York they had missed their flight. Wow,

1342
01:04:40,720 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 10: the visiting team here again. They did make it to Hawaii.

1343
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 10: The game has started, but this is midweek. They had

1344
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 10: to spend Tuesday night in New York City finding hotel

1345
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:56,400
Speaker 10: for the entire traveling party while they arranged alternate travel plans.

1346
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:59,560
Speaker 10: I'd read that eventually they had to have two separate

1347
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,280
Speaker 10: flights because they couldn't get the whole Delaware State party

1348
01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:06,000
Speaker 10: on one flight. And keep in mind there's a payout

1349
01:05:06,040 --> 01:05:09,360
Speaker 10: in these types of games. Hawaii is paying Delaware State

1350
01:05:09,480 --> 01:05:13,320
Speaker 10: one hundred eighty thousand dollars to come out and participate.

1351
01:05:13,800 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 10: According to USA Today, in the contract, Hawaii covers round

1352
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:23,520
Speaker 10: trip airfare for the travel party, but any change fees

1353
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,720
Speaker 10: are paid by the visiting team.

1354
01:05:26,080 --> 01:05:26,440
Speaker 3: No.

1355
01:05:27,080 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 10: Also, if the visitors didn't show up at all, there's

1356
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 10: a forfeiture or non appearance clause that means the visitors

1357
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 10: would have to pay Hawaii seven hundred fifty thousand dollars

1358
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 10: to cover the attendance revenues loss.

1359
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 2: So, yeah, I was gonna say, I'm not great at math,

1360
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:47,720
Speaker 2: but one hundred plus people from New York to Hawaii

1361
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: having a change of flights on one day notice.

1362
01:05:50,480 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 10: Yeah, they will pay up to fourteen hundred bucks per

1363
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 10: fare by the way, times one hundred. Anyway, the game,

1364
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 10: the visitors are there, the game is underway. It's Hawaii

1365
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 10: seven to nothing in the lead. We had comeback wins

1366
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 10: for SMU and Montana State SMU with sixteen points in

1367
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:12,120
Speaker 10: the fourth one at Nevada twenty nine, twenty four, Montana

1368
01:06:12,160 --> 01:06:14,960
Speaker 10: State with three touchdowns fourth quarter one at New Mexico

1369
01:06:15,080 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 10: thirty five thirty one, and the opener in Dublin went

1370
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:22,120
Speaker 10: to Georgia Tech, upsetting preseason number ten Florida State twenty

1371
01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 10: four twenty one on a forty four yard field goal

1372
01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 10: on the final play. In late night NFL exhibition action.

1373
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 10: It's now Seattle thirty four to twenty six over the

1374
01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:36,360
Speaker 10: Cleveland Browns, who've just scored to open the fourth quarter.

1375
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 10: There was an early Seattle touchdown pass Gino Smith to

1376
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 10: DK Metcalf twenty one yards. In the late MLB game,

1377
01:06:43,440 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 10: Tampa Bay with a home run in the ninth and

1378
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 10: one in the tenth, beat the Dodgers in LA nine

1379
01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 10: to eight. Shohe Otani with his forty first home run.

1380
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:55,960
Speaker 10: Mets won Cleveland and Minnesota with wins, and Philadelphia won

1381
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 10: at Kansas City eleven to two. J t rail Muto

1385
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:08,600
Speaker 2: Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios

1386
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 2: to Sega. Will be back in just a few minutes

1387
01:07:11,080 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: with his extended update. So we just gave you our

1388
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:18,080
Speaker 2: over under picks and predictions on the NFC East. Let's

1389
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:24,240
Speaker 2: get to the fascinating NFC North Ian take it away.

1390
01:07:24,440 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 4: All right.

1391
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:27,720
Speaker 7: We're starting off with the Detroit Lions. They're over under

1392
01:07:27,800 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 7: is set at ten and a half wins. JEMRT, we'll

1393
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 7: start with you again. Didn't know and didn't look at

1394
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:35,600
Speaker 7: the over unders. But I've got them eleven and six.

1395
01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 7: Great start four and oh, then they'll lose to the

1396
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:41,200
Speaker 7: Rams and which would be a really good kind of

1397
01:07:41,320 --> 01:07:45,440
Speaker 7: early game on October the sixth. I got them losing

1398
01:07:45,440 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 7: to the Texans. Then on the twentieth of October, but they're.

1399
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 3: Going to be eight and three, and then they're gonna

1400
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 3: have a little bit of a tough stretch down, I think,

1401
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:56,080
Speaker 3: since I think Chicago is gonna get them once and

1402
01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 3: I think San Francisco will probably get them as well.

1403
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 3: I've got them eleven and six, though, so over by

1404
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 3: a half game.

1405
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:08,640
Speaker 2: Playing the AFC South helps including three straight ironically against

1406
01:08:08,640 --> 01:08:10,800
Speaker 2: the AFC South, leading into, by the way, one of

1407
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:13,720
Speaker 2: those Bears matchups on Thanksgiving Day. I'm gonna go over

1408
01:08:13,760 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 2: because I mean bottom line is they went twelve and

1409
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:19,160
Speaker 2: five last year. Even if they take a half a

1410
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,439
Speaker 2: step back lose an extra game, we're still talking about

1411
01:08:22,479 --> 01:08:24,760
Speaker 2: an over and I don't think they will. I think

1412
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 2: this is kind of the year that they're built for

1413
01:08:27,320 --> 01:08:29,920
Speaker 2: all those guys that were on rookie contracts. This is

1414
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 2: kind of the last year they're on those rookie contracts

1415
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 2: before guys start making real money. So this is kind

1416
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,680
Speaker 2: of the window for them. Right now. Give me the

1417
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 2: Lions over in the NFC North, all right. Next up

1418
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: we have the Green Bay Packers Jordan Love. People are

1419
01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:49,160
Speaker 2: pretty blah, pretty high on him going into this year.

1420
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 2: They're over under it set at nine and a half wins.

1421
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 3: J Mart, what do you think which team did you say?

1422
01:08:55,080 --> 01:08:57,479
Speaker 3: This was Schapa Packers Packers you.

1423
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 4: Said nine and a half, nine and a half.

1424
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 3: I'm pretty bull on them, I guess then, because I've

1425
01:09:01,439 --> 01:09:04,320
Speaker 3: got them twelve and five. I've got him actually winning

1426
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 3: the division in a bar and burner down the stretch

1427
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:09,800
Speaker 3: with Detroit. But I've got them also four and oh.

1428
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 3: So I got both those two teams four to oh

1429
01:09:11,560 --> 01:09:15,479
Speaker 3: to start. But I think you look at some of

1430
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 3: the way it's structural so they've got a pretty solid

1431
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 3: matchup on Thursday Night football against Detroit in Detroit, which

1432
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:23,879
Speaker 3: I think is going to be a really good football

1433
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:25,880
Speaker 3: game to watch. But I've got them twelve and five.

1434
01:09:25,960 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 3: I like him a lot. I think Jordan Love is

1435
01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 3: going to play well again, and I think that they

1436
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:32,559
Speaker 3: found synergy down the stretch. They only got better in

1437
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,719
Speaker 3: the offseason, and I think Laflor can coach.

1438
01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 2: So I do think Laflor can coach, which is why

1439
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm a little concerned because I do have them going under.

1440
01:09:42,520 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 2: And let me explain why I like Jordan Love. But

1441
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 2: we talked about this a few weeks ago when he

1442
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,760
Speaker 2: got the extension. I think there's a little bit of

1443
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,160
Speaker 2: a myth about how good he was down the stretch.

1444
01:09:52,320 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 2: His credit played really well in big standalone games obviously

1445
01:09:57,400 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 2: one on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions. Of course, took

1446
01:10:00,720 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 2: care of business on Sunday Night Football against Kansas City Chiefs,

1447
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:05,679
Speaker 2: so I don't want to undersell what he did against

1448
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:08,320
Speaker 2: good competition. He also lost to the New York Football

1449
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,839
Speaker 2: Giants at the same time, lost to the Tampa Bay Bucks.

1450
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 2: Wasn't great in a couple other games, and so I

1451
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: just think the mythology is a little bit bigger than

1452
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 2: the results. And the one thing I will say that

1453
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 2: there is a five game stretch that I would look

1454
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:27,559
Speaker 2: at where I would be a little bit concerned. And

1455
01:10:27,640 --> 01:10:30,959
Speaker 2: he kind of referenced to Jason, But Lions at Bears,

1456
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:34,360
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers, Dolphins at Lions. That is a five

1457
01:10:34,439 --> 01:10:38,760
Speaker 2: game stretch from November three to December fifth. You know,

1458
01:10:38,840 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 2: I listen, I still nine and eight still gets into

1459
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:41,759
Speaker 2: the playoffs.

1460
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:42,200
Speaker 4: I think there.

1461
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:45,639
Speaker 2: I don't think they take the step up that people think,

1462
01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:47,879
Speaker 2: but still think they can get in as a wildcard.

1463
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 4: All right.

1464
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:52,280
Speaker 7: Next up we have the Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams. Is

1465
01:10:52,320 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 7: he the prince that was promised? They're over under set

1466
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:57,040
Speaker 7: at eight and a half wins? Jmart, what do you think?

1467
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 3: I got them nine and eight, so I've got them

1468
01:10:58,600 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 3: over by a half game. I think they'll win either

1469
01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,080
Speaker 3: the Tennessee or Houston game, not both, but I think

1470
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 3: they'll win one of those and then they'll beat the Colts.

1471
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,439
Speaker 3: So they're playing, you know, three AFC South teams to

1472
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,519
Speaker 3: open the season. Then I think you lose the Rams

1473
01:11:12,600 --> 01:11:15,679
Speaker 3: and then you play the Carolina Panthers. I feel pretty

1474
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:17,559
Speaker 3: good about that. I think you're three and three after

1475
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:20,400
Speaker 3: you lose to Jacksonville in London, and then you get Washington,

1476
01:11:20,439 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 3: Arizona and New England in a row. I like that.

1477
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,160
Speaker 3: And then I actually think they stunned Green Bay and

1478
01:11:27,200 --> 01:11:29,599
Speaker 3: so they've won a good many in a row there.

1479
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:31,800
Speaker 3: But then they're gonna be another team that kind of

1480
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 3: hits the wall late and just kind of limps to

1481
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,719
Speaker 3: the finish line. I think that's where you're gonna see.

1482
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,400
Speaker 3: There's still a process here, but not in an eight

1483
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:42,679
Speaker 3: Pretty good year for Caleb Williams and company.

1484
01:11:42,840 --> 01:11:45,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you on the over here. You know

1485
01:11:45,680 --> 01:11:48,719
Speaker 2: the schedule, like you said, totally manageable. You know, last

1486
01:11:48,720 --> 01:11:52,040
Speaker 2: play schedule. You open with the three AFC South teams,

1487
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:56,320
Speaker 2: Carolina at home Jacksonville obviously on a neutral it's technically

1488
01:11:56,360 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 2: a home game for them, but it's in, it's in,

1489
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:02,320
Speaker 2: it's in London. But the Patriots, you know, Lions on

1490
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 2: a short week. Maybe you catch them. I'm not saying

1491
01:12:04,200 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 2: you will, but it's possible. Seahawks late in the year,

1492
01:12:07,720 --> 01:12:11,519
Speaker 2: so listen. I'm a Caleb Williams guy. We've talked about

1493
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:13,000
Speaker 2: him a million times. I think a lot of the

1494
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 2: narratives are absolute nonsense. Go ahead, give me.

1495
01:12:15,040 --> 01:12:16,720
Speaker 3: The over all.

1496
01:12:16,800 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 7: Right, Lastly, we have the Minnesota Vikings. Can Sam Darnald

1497
01:12:20,600 --> 01:12:22,320
Speaker 7: get them to six and a half wins?

1498
01:12:22,400 --> 01:12:23,439
Speaker 4: J Martin, what do you think?

1499
01:12:23,680 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 3: Nope, I've got them under I have them five and twelve.

1500
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 3: I think you're gonna start one and four and that's

1501
01:12:30,760 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 3: gonna kind of set the stage for the rest of

1502
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:36,360
Speaker 3: the year. Even if you kind of right the ship.

1503
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,200
Speaker 3: I think you lose your last three games of the

1504
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:40,760
Speaker 3: season to Seattle, Green Bay in Detroit. I think it's

1505
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 3: just gonna be a rough year for them. I don't

1506
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 3: think you can go into the season with Sam Darnold

1507
01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:48,720
Speaker 3: as QB one and not a good backup situation whatsoever,

1508
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:54,599
Speaker 3: and no possibility of JJ McCarthy or just an incomplete team.

1509
01:12:54,680 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 3: Even though I do like the head coach, I just

1510
01:12:56,960 --> 01:13:00,920
Speaker 3: don't think in that division there's just too much talent elsewhere.

1511
01:13:01,400 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 4: What was the number again, Ian, real quick?

1512
01:13:03,600 --> 01:13:04,759
Speaker 7: It was six and a half.

1513
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 4: Six and a half's pretty low.

1514
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna have to go with J mart Yeah,

1515
01:13:11,240 --> 01:13:13,960
Speaker 2: I just like you said, Like J mar just said,

1516
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 2: I mean, the division is so tough. Quarterback deficit every

1517
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 2: single week. I've seen what I have to see from

1518
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:24,040
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I just don't think he's an NFL starting quarterback.

1519
01:13:24,080 --> 01:13:25,400
Speaker 2: I don't think you can trust him. I don't think

1520
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:28,760
Speaker 2: he can rely on him.

1521
01:13:28,800 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 4: Just not a fan.

1522
01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:31,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what else there's to say. Not a

1523
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: fan of Sam Donald, never have been a fan of

1524
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:35,080
Speaker 2: Sam Donald. I will go under six and a half

1525
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 2: on the Minnesota Vikings, so J Martin. I agree over

1526
01:13:38,439 --> 01:13:41,639
Speaker 2: ten and a half on the Detroit Lions. J mart

1527
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: has over nine and a half on Green Bay well over.

1528
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,080
Speaker 2: He has them winning the division. I have them under

1529
01:13:46,120 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 2: at nine and at nine and eight. Excuse me, we

1530
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,880
Speaker 2: both have over eight and a half with Chicago under

1531
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,600
Speaker 2: five six and a half with Minnesota. Next week we

1532
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:58,640
Speaker 2: will do the NFC South in the NFC West. By

1533
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 2: the way, Brush, you give some Super Bowl next week,

1534
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:04,360
Speaker 2: jmart as well. All right, Fox Sports Radio aertors Jason

1547
01:14:39,880 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 10: The home team has just scored again on a punt

1548
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:46,280
Speaker 10: return for a touchdown, So Hawaii fourteen nothing over Delaware State.

1549
01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:49,280
Speaker 10: Final seconds of the first quarter Delaware State again one

1550
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 10: and ten last year. Most teams open next weekend. The

1551
01:14:52,880 --> 01:14:56,240
Speaker 10: first game on Fox TV is Thursday, North Carolina at Minnesota.

1552
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:58,400
Speaker 10: Then the first big noon game is Penn State at

1553
01:14:58,400 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 10: West Virginia next Saturday thirty First the upset in Dublin,

1554
01:15:02,520 --> 01:15:05,000
Speaker 10: Georgia Tech kicks a forty four yard field goal on

1555
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:07,360
Speaker 10: the final play to win twenty four to twenty one

1556
01:15:07,439 --> 01:15:10,160
Speaker 10: over Florida State, which, for what it's worth, was preseason

1557
01:15:10,240 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 10: number ten. Notable that the game winning field goal came

1558
01:15:13,640 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 10: right after a twelve yard pass completion on third and seventeen. Here,

1559
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 10: Georgia Tech's offense early in the third quarter had missed

1560
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,320
Speaker 10: a field goal attempt from fifty one yards out. They

1561
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,280
Speaker 10: were looking at an attempt from longer than that here

1562
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:31,000
Speaker 10: at the end of the game until that gain on

1563
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 10: the short pass that turned into twelve yards and Georgia

1564
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,599
Speaker 10: Tech wins it. You mentioned earlier in the show the

1565
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 10: ground game for him rushing the non quarterbacks for Georgia

1566
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 10: Tech twenty carries one hundred and thirty five yards rushing

1567
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:47,000
Speaker 10: against Florida State. Now, the Seminoles made field goals of

1568
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 10: fifty two and fifty nine yards in the second quarter,

1569
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,720
Speaker 10: but late in the first quarter they went for it

1570
01:15:53,800 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 10: and threw incomplete on fourth and four that would have

1571
01:15:56,640 --> 01:16:00,960
Speaker 10: been a fifty one yard attempt. FSU lost by three points.

1572
01:16:01,000 --> 01:16:03,640
Speaker 10: For Georgia Tech, this was their first win over a

1573
01:16:03,680 --> 01:16:06,880
Speaker 10: Top ten opponent in nearly a decade, since they beat

1574
01:16:07,200 --> 01:16:10,400
Speaker 10: Florida States in twenty fifteen. By the way, the next

1575
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,559
Speaker 10: AP poll is not until September third, and we had

1576
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:17,000
Speaker 10: a couple of comeback wins. SMU tonight winning at Nevada

1577
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 10: at twenty nine to twenty four. Each team committed eleven penalties,

1578
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:23,080
Speaker 10: but the Mustang scored sixteen points in about the last

1579
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,639
Speaker 10: eight minutes. And then there was the game on FS

1580
01:16:25,760 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 10: one at New Mexico. Montana State scores three touchdowns in

1581
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,519
Speaker 10: the fourth quarter to win thirty five to thirty one.

1582
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:35,960
Speaker 10: That included a ninety three yard touchdown run with under

1583
01:16:35,960 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 10: five minutes left and the game winning run with ten

1584
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 10: seconds left. New Mexico missed two field goal attempts on

1585
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,400
Speaker 10: back to back drives in the second half, missed from

1586
01:16:45,439 --> 01:16:48,760
Speaker 10: thirty five and from forty two yards out, lost the

1587
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,719
Speaker 10: game by four. Here in New Mexico was up early

1588
01:16:51,800 --> 01:16:55,280
Speaker 10: second quarter seventeen to nothing against a Montana State team

1589
01:16:55,320 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 10: that was favored on the road by two touchdowns, largest

1590
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 10: margin in the for an FCS team over FBS in

1591
01:17:03,040 --> 01:17:06,879
Speaker 10: at least fifteen years. Montana State escapes with the victory.

1592
01:17:07,160 --> 01:17:10,520
Speaker 10: New Mexico Lobos did get two touchdowns on fumble returns.

1593
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:11,479
Speaker 4: It counts.

1594
01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:14,360
Speaker 10: They led thirty one fourteen going to the fourth quarter

1595
01:17:14,439 --> 01:17:16,799
Speaker 10: and could not close it out for new coach Bronco

1596
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 10: Menden Hall Attendant seventeen thousand. You want to talk ground game,

1597
01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 10: Montana State three hundred and sixty two yards rushing nearly

1598
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 10: eight yards per carry. As for the NFL News, this

1602
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 10: Cardinals first round defensive lineman Darius Robinson could start the

1603
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:45,439
Speaker 10: season on injured reserve with a calf injury. New England's

1604
01:17:45,439 --> 01:17:48,960
Speaker 10: at Washington on Sunday. Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett is due

1605
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,559
Speaker 10: to start, quarterback Drake May and most of the team

1606
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:55,680
Speaker 10: due to play. Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels out this weekend.

1607
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 10: NFL clubs have to reduce their rosters to fifty three

1608
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 10: players by Tuesday, and then the waiver claims come by

1609
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 10: the next day. Tampa Bay running back Chase Edmonds will

1610

1611
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:11,960
Speaker 10: Browns traded defensive tackle Chris Williams to the Bears. Did

1612
01:18:11,960 --> 01:18:14,080
Speaker 10: you hear about the new bylaws for the Pro Football

1613
01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:17,160
Speaker 10: Hall of Fame? Coaches are now eligible for the Hall

1614
01:18:17,280 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 10: after one season away from the game, not five years,

1615
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 10: So Bill Belichick and Pete Carroll could be eligible for

1616
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:25,839
Speaker 10: the Hall in just over a year.

1617
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 4: Real quick.

1618
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 7: But if he gets a job this offseason.

1619
01:18:28,439 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 10: The clock starts over. Okay, that's what I thought you'd

1620
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 10: have to be away from the game. Among the eight

1621
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:38,120
Speaker 10: NFL exhibitions on this Saturday, Carolina won at Buffalo thirty

1622

Speaker 10: one twenty six. Panthers kicker Eddie Pinero left with what

1623
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:44,360
Speaker 10: is called a sore hamstring, not an actual injury, just

1624
01:18:44,400 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 10: to precaution. Bryce Young did play some six of eight

1625
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:50,920
Speaker 10: passing seventy yards in a touchdown for the Bills. Frank

1626

01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 10: passing as a team Detroit twenty four to seventeen over

1630
01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,960
Speaker 10: the Steelers, who went zero to three in the preseason

1631
01:19:07,000 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 10: and combined nine sacks in that game. Quarterback Hendon Hooker

01:19:18,000 --> 01:19:20,960

1636
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,679
Speaker 10: nine total kickoffs in that game. Just one went into

1637
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,240

1638
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,560

Speaker 10: fifty four and fifty five yards and scored a touchdown

1640
01:19:38,000 --> 01:19:41,479
Speaker 10: on a fumble return. The Ravens punter Jordan Stout today

1641
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 10: averaged averaged sixty two yards on his four punts, but

1642
01:19:46,120 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 10: Baltimore the backups had just nine first downs Ravens backups

1643
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,880

1669
01:21:22,320 --> 01:21:25,400
Speaker 2: I will say this though, how about this four games

1670
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 2: basically three fourth quarter comebacks. Smu rallies to beat Nevada

1671
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:36,520
Speaker 2: in the eight o'clock eastern kickoff. They score sixteen unanswered

1672
01:21:36,520 --> 01:21:40,680
Speaker 2: points in the fourth quarter to win at Nevada. Montana

1673
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:42,839
Speaker 2: State this was a wild one. They were a thirteen

1674
01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:45,840
Speaker 2: and a half point favor coming in as an FCS team,

1675
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 2: actually trailed going into the fourth quarter, score twenty one

1676
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:54,639
Speaker 2: unanswered and Montana State wins at New Mexico.

1677
01:21:54,640 --> 01:21:54,840
Speaker 3: Again.

1678
01:21:54,920 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 2: Montana State in FCS team playing at New Mexico. They

1679
01:21:59,280 --> 01:22:01,960
Speaker 2: get the win. Hawaii, as the Sacred just told you,

1680
01:22:02,080 --> 01:22:05,639
Speaker 2: is still playing right now against Delaware State. That game,

1681
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:10,080
Speaker 2: as we speak is in the second quarter, Hawaii up.

1682
01:22:10,040 --> 01:22:10,800
Speaker 4: Fourteen to nothing.

1683
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:13,720
Speaker 2: That said, though, we know what the big game was

1684
01:22:13,800 --> 01:22:17,320
Speaker 2: in week zero. It was Georgia Tech against the tenth

1685
01:22:17,360 --> 01:22:21,920
Speaker 2: ranked Florida State Seminoles in Dublin, and it was a

1686
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:25,520
Speaker 2: good one. This is how this one ended.

1687
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,439
Speaker 5: Out the soldiers, He's right, it set down for him,

1688
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,000
Speaker 5: Boot it up, it's tumbling, it's turning.

1689
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:40,639
Speaker 6: It is the horn kid. Ain't the luck of the Iris.

1690
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:42,160
Speaker 1: HiT's the heart of the.

1691
01:22:42,240 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 6: Jackets, and Georgia Tech knocks off number ten Florida State

1692
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 6: fintals four twenty four twenty one.

1693
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,160
Speaker 2: That call courtesy of six point eighty the fan in

1694
01:22:55,200 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 2: Atlanta tell you this, Jason, I don't know who is

1695
01:22:58,200 --> 01:23:00,920
Speaker 2: the play by play voice of the Georgia Tech Yellowjackets,

1696
01:23:01,320 --> 01:23:03,040
Speaker 2: but as the seger told us earlier in the show,

1697
01:23:03,080 --> 01:23:05,240
Speaker 2: it's been about a decade since they have pulled off

1698
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 2: an upset of this magnitude. You could feel the thrill

1699
01:23:09,000 --> 01:23:12,880
Speaker 2: for Georgia Tech. Obviously, a very disappointing result for the

1700
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 2: tenth rank floor State seminal Gum.

1701
01:23:14,760 --> 01:23:17,559
Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean it's not catastrophic as much as it

1702
01:23:17,600 --> 01:23:23,840
Speaker 3: would have been a year years past. But the question

1703
01:23:24,120 --> 01:23:26,320
Speaker 3: is was it a fluke or was it a trend

1704
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 3: or was it something that seemed more like the team

1705
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:34,360
Speaker 3: you're ready to see. And I think there's gonna be

1706
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 3: some highs and lows to this team, but we know

1707
01:23:36,840 --> 01:23:40,640
Speaker 3: what dj Angiolila is at this stage, and he's just

1708
01:23:40,760 --> 01:23:44,240
Speaker 3: kind of he's okay, and that's sort of it. And

1709
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:48,880
Speaker 3: it's a big time step down from what you had

1710
01:23:49,160 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 3: a season ago. You also lost playmakers that are going

1711
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:55,200
Speaker 3: to be playing on Sundays. You were loaded last year

1712
01:23:55,200 --> 01:23:58,639
Speaker 3: and then you had something really unfortunate happen that may

1713
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 3: have cost you your shot for the next couple of

1714
01:24:02,000 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 3: years because I just don't think that they are made

1715
01:24:05,120 --> 01:24:07,240
Speaker 3: for this season. Like you look at that team that

1716
01:24:07,280 --> 01:24:09,920
Speaker 3: you saw today and yes there's some rust. And again,

1717
01:24:10,080 --> 01:24:13,040
Speaker 3: it's not a game I'd want to play. If I'm

1718
01:24:13,080 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 3: a team with college football playoff aspirations, the last thing

1719
01:24:16,040 --> 01:24:17,639
Speaker 3: I want to do is go to Dublin in Week

1720
01:24:17,760 --> 01:24:21,040
Speaker 3: zero with a new quarterback and all these new players

1721
01:24:21,080 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 3: and trying to make it all work and then you're

1722
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:28,960
Speaker 3: playing a conference opponent who nobody was really paying a

1723
01:24:28,960 --> 01:24:31,240
Speaker 3: closet attention to. But you did have some guys that

1724
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:35,360
Speaker 3: came in there and had had experience on a bigger stage,

1725
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 3: and they showed up. And I thought from about midway

1726
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:43,280
Speaker 3: through the second quarter, Georgia Tech might win this game.

1727
01:24:43,400 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 3: Like it didn't feel like they were going to run

1728
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:47,800
Speaker 3: out of guess it was just maybe Florida State's going

1729
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:49,519
Speaker 3: to eke this out, but it's not going to be

1730
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 3: a good win for them. It's going to be a

1731
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 3: hard fought win. Then after the game you start you

1732
01:24:55,080 --> 01:24:58,200
Speaker 3: see this and I read this on a couple of

1733
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 3: different places like Georgia Tech could be a problem for

1734
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,400
Speaker 3: teams all year. No, I just don't think Florida State's

1735
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:04,960
Speaker 3: very good. Like I don't think you look at it

1736
01:25:04,960 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 3: from the Georgia Tech perspective and just see that they're

1737
01:25:07,280 --> 01:25:11,040
Speaker 3: gonna go nine and three or anything like that. I

1738
01:25:11,080 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 3: think this was much more a function of Florida State

1739
01:25:14,040 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 3: just kind of showing that they're not a particularly strong

1740
01:25:18,200 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 3: team this year.

1741
01:25:19,080 --> 01:25:21,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really funny and you don't want to dismiss

1742
01:25:21,960 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 2: Georgia Tech.

1743
01:25:22,600 --> 01:25:23,439
Speaker 4: It's a great win.

1744
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,080
Speaker 2: Again, de Sager told us earlier in the show, first

1745
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,800
Speaker 2: top ten win in a decade or so.

1746
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:30,519
Speaker 4: You don't want to diminish what they did.

1747
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 2: But it is funny, right these week zero standalone games,

1748
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,400
Speaker 2: when everybody's watching, you get those takes of you know, hey,

1749
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:39,559
Speaker 2: I mean, Florida State wasn't very good, but it's like

1750
01:25:40,200 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 2: maybe Georgia Texas sleeper. It's like, I don't know, I

1751
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,639
Speaker 2: don't know about that. They you know, listen good Win,

1752
01:25:46,320 --> 01:25:50,599
Speaker 2: but you know they still have at Georgia, Notre Dame

1753
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:54,080
Speaker 2: at home, Miami at home, North Carolina State at home.

1754
01:25:54,120 --> 01:25:55,840
Speaker 2: Those are all teams that are ranked at the top

1755
01:25:55,880 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 2: twenty five, not to mention at North Carolina at Louisville,

1756
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 2: et cetera. So, yeah, you want to celebrate Georgia Tech.

1757
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:04,640
Speaker 2: You want to be happy for that fan base. This

1758
01:26:04,720 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 2: to me is all about Florida State though, and it's

1759
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 2: crazy because you know, they're just one where I really

1760
01:26:11,960 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 2: think that Listen. Last year, like you said this early

1761
01:26:15,120 --> 01:26:18,400
Speaker 2: in the show, Jmart, but all the stars aligned, everything

1762
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:21,360
Speaker 2: worked out. You had kind of the right mix of

1763
01:26:21,479 --> 01:26:25,320
Speaker 2: returneys with the right group of kind of new Portal guys.

1764
01:26:25,360 --> 01:26:25,679
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1765
01:26:25,720 --> 01:26:30,160
Speaker 2: So you think about the returnees, Jordan Travis, Jared Verse

1766
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 2: ended up as a first round pick. Jared Vers could

1767
01:26:32,680 --> 01:26:35,559
Speaker 2: have gone pro the year before decides to return. Then

1768
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 2: you really kind of hit in the portal with some

1769
01:26:37,800 --> 01:26:40,720
Speaker 2: guys where Keon Coleman obviously an early second round pick.

1770
01:26:40,760 --> 01:26:42,200
Speaker 2: He was the first pick of the second round as

1771
01:26:42,240 --> 01:26:44,599
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, of the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen's

1772
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:46,599
Speaker 2: been raving about him. You know, you get him out

1773
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:48,599
Speaker 2: of the portal. Brayden Fisk, who was the second round

1774
01:26:48,640 --> 01:26:50,400
Speaker 2: pick of the Los Angeles Rams, you get him out

1775
01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 2: of the portal. I think that's kind of one of

1776
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:57,960
Speaker 2: my big picture takeaways is one what you said, great

1777
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:00,000
Speaker 2: season a year ago, you want to celebrate.

1778
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:02,760
Speaker 4: You feel bad. I feel bad about how it did.

1779
01:27:02,800 --> 01:27:05,559
Speaker 2: And I know today some of the discourse was, oh,

1780
01:27:05,680 --> 01:27:07,920
Speaker 2: you know they've been talking all off season and da

1781
01:27:08,040 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 2: da da dah they had it coming to I disagree.

1782
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:12,519
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, you and I were on air during

1783
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,240
Speaker 2: that Florida State situation.

1784
01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 4: We talked.

1785
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 2: I mean we're the first ones to really react to. Okay,

1786
01:27:19,960 --> 01:27:22,040
Speaker 2: Florida State is officially won the ACC Is it going

1787
01:27:22,080 --> 01:27:23,560
Speaker 2: to be Florida State or Alabama?

1788
01:27:24,200 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 4: So I do feel bad about how it ended.

1789
01:27:26,320 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 2: But I also look at you know, this is not

1790
01:27:28,840 --> 01:27:31,040
Speaker 2: a program that over the last couple of years under

1791
01:27:31,080 --> 01:27:35,400
Speaker 2: Mike Norvel has consistently really recruited at the highest level.

1792
01:27:35,840 --> 01:27:38,040
Speaker 2: And so I do think there's something interesting with the

1793
01:27:38,040 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 2: portal where it's like, listen, you know, they struck gold

1794
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:44,000
Speaker 2: with a lot of guys last year again Keon Coleman,

1795
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:46,760
Speaker 2: guys of that nature, but they lose ten for ten

1796
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,600
Speaker 2: first round ten picks overall in the NFL draft that

1797
01:27:49,720 --> 01:27:52,439
Speaker 2: was by far the most out of the ACC And

1798
01:27:52,520 --> 01:27:55,120
Speaker 2: as you can see, you know, maybe this is just

1799
01:27:55,200 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 2: an indicator of how elite some of those truly elite

1800
01:27:58,360 --> 01:27:59,599
Speaker 2: teams are at the top of the sport.

1801
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:01,639
Speaker 4: But they're not a Georgia, they're.

1802
01:28:01,439 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 2: Not an Ohio state, they're not in Alabama that can

1803
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 2: lose that level of talent and bounce back without missing

1804
01:28:07,920 --> 01:28:08,200
Speaker 2: a beat.

1805
01:28:08,560 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 3: That's right, And you know, it's twelve team playoff and

1806
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,160
Speaker 3: it's a long season and you never know if they're

1807
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 3: able to turn it around. But what I saw just

1808
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 3: looked like a team that was kind of flawed and

1809
01:28:18,560 --> 01:28:21,559
Speaker 3: just kind of was disparate in terms of its makeup

1810
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 3: and the parts doesn't have the same speed, doesn't have

1811
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:27,000
Speaker 3: the same talent on the outside, and then you've got

1812
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:29,720
Speaker 3: a quarterback that's much closer to a game manager at

1813
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:33,920
Speaker 3: best in terms of he's just not a dynamic guy

1814
01:28:34,040 --> 01:28:38,080
Speaker 3: that is a game changer at that position. He's certainly serviceable,

1815
01:28:38,240 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 3: but that feels like a backhandy compliment, like you have

1816
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:44,080
Speaker 3: to be better than that, you have to be more.

1817
01:28:44,800 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 3: You have to be able to alter the game from

1818
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:52,719
Speaker 3: the quarterback position, And nowhere really that DJU has been.

1819
01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 3: Has he been able to prove that? Like that's what

1820
01:28:55,000 --> 01:28:57,639
Speaker 3: you expected from him early on at Clemson. He lost

1821
01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:59,679
Speaker 3: that gig. You know, he went out to the West

1822
01:28:59,760 --> 01:29:03,519
Speaker 3: Coast and he certainly was fine again. But you're stepping

1823
01:29:03,520 --> 01:29:06,960
Speaker 3: from Jordan Travis to dj U, and you saw it

1824
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 3: right here. There is a tremendous difference between those guys.

1825
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:10,920
Speaker 4: Very random.

1826
01:29:11,200 --> 01:29:14,360
Speaker 2: Did dj you peak in his first game as college quarterback?

1827
01:29:14,560 --> 01:29:18,000
Speaker 2: Like if you remember remember he played it was during

1828
01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 2: the COVID season. Trevor Lawrence gets COVID right before the

1829
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:25,200
Speaker 2: Notre Dame game that was basically Clemson's only big regular

1830
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 2: season game. They ended up losing, but he dj you

1831
01:29:29,160 --> 01:29:34,160
Speaker 2: played really well, and then you know, listen, Obviously, Trevor

1832
01:29:34,200 --> 01:29:36,559
Speaker 2: Lawrence comes back. They end up winning the ACC going

1833
01:29:36,600 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 2: to the playoff, but struggled to Clemson two years in

1834
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,800
Speaker 2: a row. Even the year like like his last year there,

1835
01:29:42,800 --> 01:29:45,280
Speaker 2: they did win the ACC, but like if you remember,

1836
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:48,960
Speaker 2: like in the ACC championship game, he basically got benched

1837
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:53,240
Speaker 2: for Kate Klubnick obviously Oregon State. Ear It's it's, you know,

1838
01:29:53,280 --> 01:29:54,720
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme. I don't think it's the most

1839
01:29:54,720 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 2: important thing that's ever been discussed, but I was just

1840
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:58,639
Speaker 2: thinking about that today. I think I think the guy

1841
01:29:58,680 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 2: peaked and literally his first college game and it's all

1842
01:30:00,960 --> 01:30:01,920
Speaker 2: been downhill since then.

1843
01:30:02,080 --> 01:30:05,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's sometimes that's the way it goes. I mean,

1844
01:30:05,120 --> 01:30:07,680
Speaker 3: he was in a in a pressure creaker spot when

1845
01:30:07,720 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 3: it comes to the kind of quarterbacks that debos when

1846
01:30:11,479 --> 01:30:14,640
Speaker 3: he had year after year after year, and he just

1847
01:30:14,840 --> 01:30:17,880
Speaker 3: he rolled in and I do think that the hype

1848
01:30:17,960 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 3: was high and he had a strong performance to open

1849
01:30:21,200 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 3: and really never even came close to that again. And

1850
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 3: I don't think it was a pressure thing. I just

1851
01:30:26,560 --> 01:30:28,400
Speaker 3: I'm just not sure he was that good, Like he

1852
01:30:28,760 --> 01:30:30,519
Speaker 3: may have just kind of hit a ceiling as being

1853
01:30:30,560 --> 01:30:33,360
Speaker 3: sort of an average college quarterback, which is a lot

1854
01:30:33,400 --> 01:30:36,640
Speaker 3: better than I have, but I'm not you know, I

1855
01:30:36,680 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 3: certainly maybe he was more touted than he should have been,

1856
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:41,400
Speaker 3: but I mean, he was a Clemson quarterback, so you

1857
01:30:41,439 --> 01:30:43,719
Speaker 3: had to expect he was probably going to be good

1858
01:30:43,760 --> 01:30:44,759
Speaker 3: based on the history.

1859
01:30:45,439 --> 01:30:49,000
Speaker 2: Yes, you know it, but again, and I think it

1860
01:30:49,040 --> 01:30:50,960
Speaker 2: speaks also again back to the portal stuff. I mean,

1861
01:30:51,000 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 2: I remember you even talking last week about Notre Dame,

1862
01:30:53,840 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 2: where Notre Dame's kind of in this cycle where they

1863
01:30:56,439 --> 01:30:58,360
Speaker 2: are two three years in a row. They've had to

1864
01:30:58,360 --> 01:31:00,320
Speaker 2: go to the portal to get a quarterback, and it's

1865
01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:02,599
Speaker 2: like some point you got to develop a guy internally

1866
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:04,000
Speaker 2: and hope to keep him two three years.

1867
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,120
Speaker 7: And it's like you look at DJU.

1868
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:08,760
Speaker 2: You know, listen, I'm not blaming anybody, but you know,

1869
01:31:09,120 --> 01:31:13,000
Speaker 2: Jordan Travis, you know, graduates late last year. You can

1870
01:31:13,080 --> 01:31:14,400
Speaker 2: kind of see the guys that they had on that

1871
01:31:14,479 --> 01:31:16,680
Speaker 2: roster were not good enough, and you gotta go to

1872
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,519
Speaker 2: the portal replace Jordan Travis. And sometimes you're gonna hit

1873
01:31:19,560 --> 01:31:21,240
Speaker 2: and you're gonna get the right guy and he's gonna

1874
01:31:21,240 --> 01:31:24,519
Speaker 2: turn into Jaden Daniels or Joe Burrow or whoever. And

1875
01:31:24,520 --> 01:31:29,200
Speaker 2: then sometimes getting up with dju So Florida State loses

1876
01:31:29,320 --> 01:31:32,040
Speaker 2: in the opener, and I'm with you J Martin. No

1877
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:35,080
Speaker 2: disrespect to the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, but I don't

1878
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:39,840
Speaker 2: think this is some big reflection that Georgia Tech is

1879
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, this team that needs to be

1880
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,680
Speaker 2: on our radar. Fun story, cool story, but they have

1881
01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:48,400
Speaker 2: a very tough schedule. Four more ranked opponents on their schedule.

1882
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:52,040
Speaker 2: By the way, quick shout out to Cody Corey Burkharth

1883
01:31:52,080 --> 01:31:56,880
Speaker 2: who tagged Andy Demetra, who is apparently the play by

1884
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:00,280
Speaker 2: play voice of the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Thank you

1885
01:32:00,320 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 2: to Corey who is listening to our show. Although he

1886
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,720
Speaker 2: did say Aaron may be a Fresno hater, but he

1887
01:32:06,840 --> 01:32:08,479
Speaker 2: shouted out the big call today.

1888
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:10,200
Speaker 4: Am I a Fresno hater?

1889
01:32:10,320 --> 01:32:11,040
Speaker 3: Chack? I didn't know that.

1890
01:32:11,240 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's news to me. I'm not really aware. I've

1891
01:32:14,040 --> 01:32:16,200
Speaker 2: never actually been to Fresno. We did pick up my

1892
01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:20,719
Speaker 2: dog just north of Fresno, Andro through beautiful city. Big

1893
01:32:20,760 --> 01:32:25,160
Speaker 2: Aaron judge guy, he's a Fresno State guy. Like Paul George.

1894
01:32:25,160 --> 01:32:27,880
Speaker 2: He's a Fresno State guy. I didn't know I was

1895
01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:29,880
Speaker 2: a Fresno hater, So you learned something new every day?

1896
01:32:30,320 --> 01:32:30,680

1913
01:33:24,640 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 2: most surprising person in the sport is now saying nice

1914
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:30,559
Speaker 2: things about Caitlin Clark.

1915
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:33,719
Speaker 4: Would have never guessed did. We'll explain next. Fox Sports Radio.

1916
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:41,000
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody, Fox Sports radio erratorist Jason Martin broadcasting

1917
01:33:41,240 --> 01:33:49,479
Speaker 2: live from the tirerack dot Com studios. Want to switch

1918
01:33:49,520 --> 01:33:57,479
Speaker 2: gears Complete one eighty, Complete one eighty Talk a little

1919
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,800
Speaker 2: WNBA baby, the league that keeps on giving.

1920
01:34:00,840 --> 01:34:03,559
Speaker 4: Listen. I'll say this, you know, the Caton Clark thing.

1921
01:34:03,760 --> 01:34:05,519
Speaker 4: Credit to her, credit to Angel Reeves.

1922
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 2: We're still talking about this sport, jmart But Caton Clark

1923
01:34:11,520 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 2: and the Indiana Fever. We're playing the Minnesota Links tonight. Okay,

1924
01:34:18,240 --> 01:34:21,200
Speaker 2: Minnesota Links. That's of course interesting because the Minnesota Links

1925
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:24,920
Speaker 2: are coached by none other than Cheryl Reeve. Of course,

1926
01:34:25,040 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 2: Cheryl Reeve was the head coach of Team USA. Cheryl

1927
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,360
Speaker 2: Reeve has had some not very nice things to say

1928
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:34,639
Speaker 2: about Caitlin Clark in the past. She said that there's

1929
01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:36,720
Speaker 2: more than one or she's tweeted, I think there's more

1930
01:34:36,760 --> 01:34:40,400
Speaker 2: than one player in the league. At one point, she

1931
01:34:40,600 --> 01:34:44,080
Speaker 2: was asked about the national team before they went over,

1932
01:34:44,760 --> 01:34:48,240
Speaker 2: about Caitlin Clark specifically, and she said, why the h

1933
01:34:48,400 --> 01:34:52,160
Speaker 2: E double hockey sticks? Would I answer a national team question.

1934
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm wearing my Link shirt and I'm the head coach

1935
01:34:54,439 --> 01:34:56,439
Speaker 2: of the national team, but I'm not chair of the

1936
01:34:56,479 --> 01:35:02,599
Speaker 2: committee anybody want to venture into anything else. So I yeah,

1937
01:35:01,560 --> 01:35:04,720
Speaker 2: this woman, Cheryl Reeve has not had nice things to

1938
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,759
Speaker 2: say about Caitlin Clark. But I bring it up because

1939
01:35:07,800 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 2: they played earlier today and she was asked about Caitlin Clark.

1940
01:35:12,520 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 2: Now keep in mind, by the way, I should mention,

1941
01:35:14,160 --> 01:35:19,160
Speaker 2: Minnesota Links were honoring Maya Moore, who obviously left the team.

1942
01:35:19,200 --> 01:35:22,839
Speaker 2: My more former Yukon Husky left the team. She got married,

1943
01:35:23,040 --> 01:35:25,880
Speaker 2: and she is now criminal rights you know she works

1944
01:35:25,880 --> 01:35:27,719
Speaker 2: in the criminal rights field.

1945
01:35:27,760 --> 01:35:28,160
Speaker 4: Whatever.

1946
01:35:28,600 --> 01:35:30,599
Speaker 2: But I bring it up because Cheryl Reeve was asked

1947
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:34,200
Speaker 2: about Caitlyn Clark, and she said, I wish I had

1948
01:35:34,240 --> 01:35:37,120
Speaker 2: either one of them, Caitlin or Maya was playing for us.

1949
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:42,400
Speaker 2: Either one, I'd take either. In other words, Cheryl Reeve,

1950
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:47,000
Speaker 2: arguably the biggest Caitlyn Clark hater, seemingly, much like the

1951
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:50,880
Speaker 2: rest of the WNBA, is finally coming around to Caitlyn Clark,

1952
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:55,680
Speaker 2: finally says something nice. Are you surprised? I mean, this

1953
01:35:55,720 --> 01:35:58,360
Speaker 2: is a bigger upset than Georgia Tech Florida State. Cheryl

1954
01:35:58,400 --> 01:36:01,680
Speaker 2: Reeve actually saying some nice things about Kaylyn Clark. This

1955
01:36:01,880 --> 01:36:03,920
Speaker 2: just happened a few hours ago, but figured we talk.

1956
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:07,400
Speaker 3: About it a little bit. Interestingly, See the story hadn't

1957
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 3: even happened, but I had sent you, I guess it

1958
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,400
Speaker 3: would have been yesterday. I'd seen a piece of The

1959
01:36:12,439 --> 01:36:14,559
Speaker 3: Athletic and I'd seen a couple of other things, just

1960
01:36:14,640 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 3: kind of browsing through the net during the course of

1961
01:36:17,400 --> 01:36:20,439
Speaker 3: the week, where it just seems like all the articles

1962
01:36:20,520 --> 01:36:24,400
Speaker 3: right now are real positive surrounding Kaitlyn Clark, like everything is,

1963
01:36:24,439 --> 01:36:27,160
Speaker 3: and you're not really hearing anything negative coming from players

1964
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:31,960
Speaker 3: right now. And here you go with the coach of

1965
01:36:31,960 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Lynx coming out and finally giving her her due.

1966
01:36:35,600 --> 01:36:37,720
Speaker 3: And there's two reasons for this, in my opinion. One

1967
01:36:37,800 --> 01:36:40,040
Speaker 3: is she's good and they know she's good, and they

1968
01:36:40,040 --> 01:36:43,400
Speaker 3: look at her statistically at this stage and you compare

1969
01:36:43,439 --> 01:36:46,960
Speaker 3: her to every rookie guard that's ever played in a WNBA,

1970
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:50,919
Speaker 3: and the Athletics writing an article saying she might actually

1971
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,280
Speaker 3: be having the best rookie season the guards ever had

1972
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:56,520
Speaker 3: in the WNBA. So at that point you can't criticize

1973
01:36:56,520 --> 01:36:58,800
Speaker 3: her too much. I know she still turns the ball

1974
01:36:58,800 --> 01:37:00,840
Speaker 3: over a lot, but she also goes twenty three, five

1975
01:37:00,880 --> 01:37:05,040
Speaker 3: and eight against Minnesota on Saturday night, and then the

1976
01:37:05,040 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 3: second thing is you went to the Olympics and a

1977
01:37:08,160 --> 01:37:10,360
Speaker 3: tree fell in the forest, but no one was around,

1978
01:37:11,240 --> 01:37:13,120
Speaker 3: and so we don't even know if it made a

1979
01:37:13,160 --> 01:37:17,519
Speaker 3: sound because they were over there and they won, but

1980
01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:20,479
Speaker 3: nobody paid attention to it. And it makes it all

1981
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:22,799
Speaker 3: the more egregious when you see the kind of season

1982
01:37:22,840 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 3: that she's now having and you're seeing everything flip because

1983
01:37:26,920 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 3: I think internally, whether they want to admit it or not,

1984
01:37:30,320 --> 01:37:32,519
Speaker 3: it's not like it's a giant cabal or a star

1985
01:37:32,640 --> 01:37:34,920
Speaker 3: chamber or something like that. But I think individually, in

1986
01:37:34,960 --> 01:37:38,080
Speaker 3: their own minds, whatever bias they had is starting to

1987
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 3: be canceled out by this fog of just an obvious

1988
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:48,280
Speaker 3: feeling internally where they realize they need they do. They

1989
01:37:48,320 --> 01:37:50,720
Speaker 3: just flat out do. She moves the needle in away

1990
01:37:50,760 --> 01:37:52,800
Speaker 3: no one else does. As matter of fact, you could

1991
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:55,640
Speaker 3: argue that the two people that moved the needle the

1992
01:37:55,640 --> 01:37:58,200
Speaker 3: most in that league are both rookies, with her and

1993
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 3: her nemesis, Angel Reese, who's done a very nice job

1994
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:04,400
Speaker 3: of first having great stats throughout the year, but second

1995
01:38:04,920 --> 01:38:07,800
Speaker 3: she's she's definitely drafted off Kitlyn Clark, and then she's

1996
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:12,320
Speaker 3: actually kind of transcended just being that and at least

1997
01:38:12,320 --> 01:38:14,840
Speaker 3: has become entertaining on her own side as well. But

1998
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:19,400
Speaker 3: I don't think they can afford to be particularly petty

1999
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:24,680
Speaker 3: towards Caitlyn Clark anymore because once she is gonna be

2000
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,200
Speaker 3: the future of the league when it comes to what

2001
01:38:26,240 --> 01:38:28,720
Speaker 3: she's doing on the floor, they can't deny that anymore.

2002
01:38:29,240 --> 01:38:32,720
Speaker 3: And two, they desperately need her star power, especially with

2003
01:38:32,720 --> 01:38:33,599
Speaker 3: football starting.

2004
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:34,960
Speaker 4: So a couple quick things.

2005
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 2: One to the credit both of them, angel Rees actually

2006
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:40,559
Speaker 2: leading the league in rebounds, Caitlyn Clark leading the league

2007
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,640
Speaker 2: and assists I'm gonna push back, but it's more of

2008
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:48,519
Speaker 2: a question than a definitive pushback. Do you think it's

2009
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:54,120
Speaker 2: a like non coordinate like cause, I, you know, the

2010
01:38:54,200 --> 01:38:57,040
Speaker 2: league needed Katon Clark eight weeks ago, the league need

2011
01:38:57,040 --> 01:38:59,840
Speaker 2: to Katy and Clark in April, May and June, but

2012
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,600
Speaker 2: there was no We went through all the narratives and

2013
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,760
Speaker 2: all the discourses and all the whatever. So when you

2014
01:39:06,800 --> 01:39:11,040
Speaker 2: say that they're finally understanding that they need her, do

2015
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:13,760
Speaker 2: you think that's like a league wide you know, an

2016
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:16,160
Speaker 2: unofficial memo that went around like hey, maybe we need

2017
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:18,280
Speaker 2: to pump it back, or do you think it's individual

2018
01:39:18,360 --> 01:39:22,360
Speaker 2: people just finally realizing, like, dude, this girl is actually

2019
01:39:22,360 --> 01:39:23,960
Speaker 2: pretty important to what we're doing overall.

2020
01:39:24,080 --> 01:39:25,840
Speaker 3: Like I said, I don't think that there was any

2021
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,679
Speaker 3: kind of like a conservative meeting where they sat down

2022
01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:31,759
Speaker 3: and decided what they were going to do in either direction.

2023
01:39:31,960 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 3: But I do think it's likely just because it's is

2024
01:39:34,520 --> 01:39:37,920
Speaker 3: human nature, and I think everybody listening can relate to

2025
01:39:37,960 --> 01:39:39,720
Speaker 3: this in some way, shape or form. They've been in

2026
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:42,240
Speaker 3: a group that's been a part of this. You're in

2027
01:39:42,280 --> 01:39:46,400
Speaker 3: a group of people and there's a subject out there

2028
01:39:46,439 --> 01:39:49,360
Speaker 3: and maybe it's something that is red hot at the

2029
01:39:49,400 --> 01:39:52,040
Speaker 3: time or popular at the time or whatever it is,

2030
01:39:52,680 --> 01:39:55,320
Speaker 3: and that group just kind of starts being like, man,

2031
01:39:55,400 --> 01:39:58,719
Speaker 3: screw that, forget that, you know, and it's a total

2032
01:39:59,000 --> 01:40:03,320
Speaker 3: sort of a negative, and it can grow, it can spread.

2033
01:40:03,920 --> 01:40:07,400
Speaker 3: I don't think that there was anything intentional. I just

2034
01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:09,960
Speaker 3: think there was probably a lot of smack talking and

2035
01:40:10,040 --> 01:40:12,519
Speaker 3: a lot of yeah, we'll show her kind of stuff.

2036
01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:19,679
Speaker 3: And as the season has worn along, they've seen more

2037
01:40:19,720 --> 01:40:23,920
Speaker 3: people in the seats, more articles being written, a little

2038
01:40:23,960 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 3: bit more just interest level across the board, and then

2039
01:40:27,320 --> 01:40:30,839
Speaker 3: they've played against her, and the more that that has happened,

2040
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:33,479
Speaker 3: I imagine some of those conversations are you know what,

2041
01:40:34,080 --> 01:40:37,920
Speaker 3: She's actually kind of good and it's probably been tough

2042
01:40:38,520 --> 01:40:40,599
Speaker 3: for them to kind of get to that point. But again,

2043
01:40:40,840 --> 01:40:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't think there was any kind of a concerted

2044
01:40:44,040 --> 01:40:48,040
Speaker 3: group effort. I just feel like individually and then in

2045
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:52,000
Speaker 3: conversations amongst each other, I just kind of feel like

2046
01:40:52,080 --> 01:40:56,160
Speaker 3: it's generally taking this place, taking us to kind of

2047
01:40:56,160 --> 01:41:00,600
Speaker 3: an organic place where the Caitlin Clark discord has just

2048
01:41:00,800 --> 01:41:05,040
Speaker 3: changed because now they're playing against her and they've seen

2049
01:41:05,080 --> 01:41:07,840
Speaker 3: her value both on and off the court, and whether

2050
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:09,759
Speaker 3: they want to talk about it or not, the reason

2051
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 3: why things are better in that league right now is

2052
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 3: because of the extra attention that she's brought to it.

2053
01:41:14,439 --> 01:41:16,679
Speaker 3: Then you go to the Olympics and it doesn't matter,

2054
01:41:16,720 --> 01:41:19,519
Speaker 3: and you come back and really your league is nearly

2055
01:41:19,600 --> 01:41:22,400
Speaker 3: dead in the water and all you've got is her,

2056
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:26,320
Speaker 3: and thank goodness, she's also good at this stage, and

2057
01:41:26,360 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 3: the statistics back it up. So probably time to get

2058
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,920
Speaker 3: on board, or at the very least just stop the chirping.

2059
01:41:33,840 --> 01:41:34,479
Speaker 4: Caitlin Clark.

2060
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:38,040
Speaker 2: By the way, in that lost twenty three points eight assists,

2061
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:42,679
Speaker 2: did have seven turnovers. Indiana falls to Minnesota. They are

2062
01:41:42,760 --> 01:41:46,519
Speaker 2: still the seven seed right now. For people who are

2063
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:49,679
Speaker 2: new to the WNBA their playoff format, it appears as though,

2064
01:41:49,680 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 2: and I'm pretty new to it myself, the top the

2065
01:41:52,600 --> 01:41:55,599
Speaker 2: top eight teams all make it so as of right now,

2066
01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:58,960
Speaker 2: the Indiana Fever are in the playoff mix. Fox Sports

01:42:20,080 --> 01:42:23,479

01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 10: fifteen and four.

2143
01:46:03,080 --> 01:46:04,759
Speaker 4: You're shutting him down soon, right.

2144
01:46:04,680 --> 01:46:08,360
Speaker 10: They are certainly extending the rest between starts.

2145
01:46:08,400 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 3: Put it that way.

2146
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:13,439
Speaker 10: Milwaukee and Toronto with wins. The Toronto pitcher, they let's

2147
01:46:13,479 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 10: stay in the game. He had a no hitter through

2148
01:46:15,240 --> 01:46:18,240
Speaker 10: eight innings, three walks, one hit batter, and then he

2149
01:46:18,320 --> 01:46:20,200
Speaker 10: allowed a lead off homer top of the night, so

2150
01:46:20,320 --> 01:46:23,639
Speaker 10: Toronto three to won. The final starter for the Giants,

2151
01:46:23,680 --> 01:46:26,840
Speaker 10: Blake Snell, had no decision. He went three innings at Seattle,

2152
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:29,960
Speaker 10: six walks allowed in at Hometown, two of those with

2153
01:46:30,120 --> 01:46:33,240
Speaker 10: bases loaded. San Francisco did win four to three. The

2154
01:46:33,280 --> 01:46:35,840
Speaker 10: Mariners still trail Houston in the AL West by four

2155
01:46:35,880 --> 01:46:38,639
Speaker 10: and a half games. Baltimore beat Houston three to two,

2156
01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:40,960
Speaker 10: so the Orioles are now just a half game back

2157
01:46:40,960 --> 01:46:43,599
Speaker 10: of the first place Yankees in the AL East. Yanks

2158
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 10: lost at home today to Colorado nine to two.

2159
01:46:47,080 --> 01:46:48,880
Speaker 4: Back to you, thank you very much.

2160
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:51,800
Speaker 2: Steve the Sager to Sega have a great evening back

2161
01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:55,759
Speaker 2: tomorrow to Saga will be with the gang including Arnie Spanier,

2162
01:46:55,880 --> 01:46:59,479
Speaker 2: Chris Plank later in the evening, Fox Sports Radio air Tours,

2163
01:46:59,479 --> 01:47:02,799
Speaker 2: and Jason Martin. We are taking until two am Eastern time. Jamar,

2164
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 2: just want to rip through a couple things that happened

2165
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:09,799
Speaker 2: on the field in preseason today NFL. You know, nothing major,

2166
01:47:09,880 --> 01:47:11,160
Speaker 2: but I thought there were a few things that kind

2167
01:47:11,200 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 2: of caught my attention.

2168
01:47:12,200 --> 01:47:13,240
Speaker 4: By the way, if you missed it.

2169
01:47:13,280 --> 01:47:15,720
Speaker 2: Earlier in the show, we talked about Deshaun Watson, who

2170
01:47:15,800 --> 01:47:20,080
Speaker 2: sat out their Brown's final preseason game after it was

2171
01:47:20,160 --> 01:47:23,519
Speaker 2: said by Kevin Stefanski that all starters would play.

2172
01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:24,280
Speaker 4: So we discussed that.

2173
01:47:24,439 --> 01:47:28,800
Speaker 2: But one guy who also made his preseason debut, which

2174
01:47:28,840 --> 01:47:31,080
Speaker 2: was obviously the only preseason game that he will be

2175
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:32,080
Speaker 2: playing this year.

2176
01:47:32,439 --> 01:47:33,040
Speaker 4: Bryce Young.

2177
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,719
Speaker 2: Bryce Young played just for a little bit with Carolina

2178
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 2: Panther six of eight passing seventy yards and a touchdown.

2179
01:47:40,840 --> 01:47:43,760
Speaker 2: After the game, new coach David Canalis called it a

2180
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 2: hell of a day and basically said, couldn't have dreamt

2181
01:47:49,080 --> 01:47:51,519
Speaker 2: it better. A fourth down conversion in there, but saw

2182
01:47:51,600 --> 01:47:54,479
Speaker 2: him extend some plays with his legs, keeping his eyes

2183
01:47:54,560 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 2: downfield finding guys. Let me just ask you. You know,

2184
01:47:58,040 --> 01:48:02,439
Speaker 2: obviously Bryce Young debac a season ago, new head coach,

2185
01:48:03,320 --> 01:48:05,680
Speaker 2: but again, this is coming off of a season in

2186
01:48:05,840 --> 01:48:10,720
Speaker 2: which the former Heisman Trophy winner fifty nine point eight

2187
01:48:10,760 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 2: percent completion percentage, eleven touchdowns, ten interceptions. What do you

2188
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,360
Speaker 2: expect big picture from Bryce Young and certainly in this

2189
01:48:17,680 --> 01:48:19,920
Speaker 2: second season for the Carolina Panthers quarterback.

2190
01:48:20,040 --> 01:48:23,120
Speaker 3: Well, it's a bad situation last year on the sidelines

2191
01:48:23,200 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 3: and on the field. He didn't magically get taller or bigger,

2192
01:48:27,080 --> 01:48:29,679
Speaker 3: So that's still going to be an issue. I don't

2193
01:48:29,720 --> 01:48:33,080
Speaker 3: know that the defense is better off considering some of

2194
01:48:33,080 --> 01:48:36,600
Speaker 3: the exits and some of the changes there, But you

2195
01:48:36,680 --> 01:48:41,439
Speaker 3: do have new leadership and a commitment to him. I

2196
01:48:41,479 --> 01:48:43,479
Speaker 3: don't think he could play worse. I don't think it

2197
01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:47,040
Speaker 3: could go worse for him, barring some kind of injury

2198
01:48:47,040 --> 01:48:49,120
Speaker 3: that took him out for the entire season. So I

2199
01:48:49,160 --> 01:48:51,479
Speaker 3: do think they're going to be better. I do. And

2200
01:48:51,520 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 3: you've heard a lot of positive stuff said about him

2201
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:55,400
Speaker 3: in the offseason, and you know kind of what he

2202
01:48:55,720 --> 01:48:58,479
Speaker 3: was as a young man at Alabama and what a

2203
01:48:58,560 --> 01:49:01,840
Speaker 3: leader he was capable of being, so I wouldn't be

2204
01:49:01,880 --> 01:49:04,680
Speaker 3: surprised to see him be markedly better than he was.

2205
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,040
Speaker 3: I think the sea wing is lower by far than

2206
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 3: maybe we saw coming in. I don't think he's ever

2207
01:49:11,720 --> 01:49:13,919
Speaker 3: going to get to you know, a C. J. Strawe

2208
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,840
Speaker 3: kind of level or anything like that. But can he

2209
01:49:16,960 --> 01:49:20,200
Speaker 3: be more than serviceable? Yeah, I still think it's possible.

2210
01:49:20,320 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 3: I haven't completely given up on him, but I'm definitely

2211
01:49:24,320 --> 01:49:29,799
Speaker 3: a little down because I really anticipated him being really

2212
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:31,600
Speaker 3: good right out of the jump last year and he

2213
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:32,640
Speaker 3: absolutely was not.

2214
01:49:33,680 --> 01:49:34,240
Speaker 4: He was not.

2215
01:49:35,320 --> 01:49:37,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, I have no strong opinions really, you know, I'm

2216
01:49:37,920 --> 01:49:39,759
Speaker 2: listening more hoping he's better.

2217
01:49:40,120 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 3: At this point, it's wait and see is the best

2218
01:49:41,920 --> 01:49:42,960
Speaker 3: you can really give him.

2219
01:49:43,000 --> 01:49:45,840
Speaker 2: I think I totally agree, And you know, the good

2220
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:49,679
Speaker 2: news is the schedule is pseudo manageable early at Sandy

2221
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:53,240
Speaker 2: or at New Orleans Saints than the Chargers at home,

2222
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:55,720
Speaker 2: than the Vegas Raiders. In theory, you could have two

2223
01:49:55,720 --> 01:49:57,600
Speaker 2: of the three worst teams in the first couple of

2224
01:49:57,600 --> 01:50:01,880
Speaker 2: weeks the season, two relatively the unstable quarterback positions there,

2225
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:04,160
Speaker 2: so you'd hope that they can get off to a

2226
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:06,960
Speaker 2: little bit of a better start after last year's two

2227
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:09,160
Speaker 2: and fifteen debacle, and of course the worst part was

2228
01:50:09,200 --> 01:50:11,920
Speaker 2: he didn't even get the first overall pick because of

2229
01:50:12,160 --> 01:50:16,960
Speaker 2: a previous trade. Really quickly another quarterback situation. We talked

2230
01:50:17,000 --> 01:50:19,599
Speaker 2: about this one a lot last week, but last week,

2231
01:50:19,720 --> 01:50:22,960
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson gets the start, he struggles, he gets hit,

2232
01:50:22,960 --> 01:50:25,240
Speaker 2: a bunch, sacked a bunch, You go to Justin Fields.

2233
01:50:25,280 --> 01:50:28,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't get much better. Tonight a little bit better

2234
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:33,200
Speaker 2: for the Pittsburgh Steelers. They did lose to the Detroit Lions,

2235
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:37,120
Speaker 2: but Russell Wilson on the opening drive does lead a

2236
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:41,160
Speaker 2: touchdown drive. Then from there Justin Fields takes over. Mike

2237
01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:43,840
Speaker 2: Tomlin seemed actually pretty happy with Russell Wilson said, we

2238
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,960
Speaker 2: just needed results that were indicative of how we worked,

2239
01:50:47,320 --> 01:50:49,240
Speaker 2: and so we were able to put together a scoring

2240
01:50:49,360 --> 01:50:52,880
Speaker 2: drive and really just provided an opportunity to get Justin

2241
01:50:52,920 --> 01:50:55,639
Speaker 2: in there after that, and so that's what we did.

2242
01:50:56,920 --> 01:50:59,880
Speaker 2: He then continued, when asked about if Russell Wilson was

2243
01:50:59,880 --> 01:51:02,880
Speaker 2: the starter, will make a decision at the end of

2244
01:51:02,920 --> 01:51:05,559
Speaker 2: our work week. This upcoming week, we have three days

2245
01:51:05,600 --> 01:51:08,960
Speaker 2: of Steelers versus Steelers work and why not do it?

2246
01:51:09,000 --> 01:51:09,360
Speaker 4: Then?

2247
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,880
Speaker 2: Do you still think that Russell Wilson will be the

2248
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:16,160
Speaker 2: starter Week one for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

2249
01:51:16,320 --> 01:51:22,759
Speaker 3: No yet, No, I don't. I Maybe I'm just thinking

2250
01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,240
Speaker 3: about it from a practical standpoint of what I would do,

2251
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:27,280
Speaker 3: and maybe they are going to try and protect him

2252
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:31,120
Speaker 3: a little bit and let him start. But what do

2253
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:35,760
Speaker 3: you really learn from two of two passing twenty six yards? Yes,

2254
01:51:35,800 --> 01:51:38,920
Speaker 3: he let a touchdown drive in a preseason game where

2255
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:41,120
Speaker 3: he threw two passes and didn't even run the ball.

2256
01:51:41,760 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 3: Justin Field's went three or four for forty. I don't

2257
01:51:43,600 --> 01:51:45,559
Speaker 3: know what you learned from either one of those two numbers.

2258
01:51:45,560 --> 01:51:48,519
Speaker 3: That's why I'm like, you can't get anything from the

2259
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:53,639
Speaker 3: preseason that you really can extrapolate into the regular season.

2260
01:51:53,760 --> 01:51:58,000
Speaker 3: So I think they're protecting it. Maybe Tomlin is going

2261
01:51:58,040 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 3: to give him a start or two, but I don't

2262
01:52:00,800 --> 01:52:02,640
Speaker 3: think you can afford to do it. And again, this

2263
01:52:02,680 --> 01:52:04,040
Speaker 3: is a year you need to find out what you

2264
01:52:04,120 --> 01:52:06,120
Speaker 3: have in Justin Fields, and I think you hand him

2265
01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:10,080
Speaker 3: the keys as fast as possible. If there's a bruise

2266
01:52:10,160 --> 01:52:12,800
Speaker 3: ego thing that just that shouldn't be a Mike Tomlin thing.

2267
01:52:12,840 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 3: That doesn't strike me is how Mike Tomlin should operate

2268
01:52:15,160 --> 01:52:17,240
Speaker 3: I'm sure he has a lot of respect for Russell Wilson,

2269
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:21,040
Speaker 3: but there's a reason why he doesn't have losing seasons,

2270
01:52:21,360 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 3: and that's a losing season kind of move to throw

2271
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,360
Speaker 3: away a couple of games early instead of getting the

2272
01:52:27,479 --> 01:52:29,280
Speaker 3: young guy out there and seeing what he's got.

2273
01:52:30,080 --> 01:52:32,920
Speaker 2: I will say I do think Russell Wilson starts week one.

2274
01:52:33,000 --> 01:52:35,240
Speaker 2: It's an interesting thing. I mean, we've talked about this

2275
01:52:35,280 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 2: a ton, but you know, no real financial commitment to

2276
01:52:37,760 --> 01:52:41,400
Speaker 2: Russell Wilson, no emotional commitment from the fan base, Like

2277
01:52:41,400 --> 01:52:43,439
Speaker 2: it's not like he's been there forever and you're trying

2278
01:52:43,439 --> 01:52:46,720
Speaker 2: to replace him. And I think, you know, you could

2279
01:52:46,720 --> 01:52:48,360
Speaker 2: look at it as one of two ways. Is on

2280
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:52,519
Speaker 2: the one hand, you know, if Justin Fields goes out

2281
01:52:52,520 --> 01:52:56,240
Speaker 2: there and totally bombs you know you you know, then

2282
01:52:56,320 --> 01:52:58,639
Speaker 2: you have to go to Russell Wilson, you can't go back.

2283
01:52:58,680 --> 01:53:02,040
Speaker 2: But the counter to that would be like if Russell

2284
01:53:02,040 --> 01:53:05,559
Speaker 2: Wilson somehow plays very well for the Steelers early, then

2285
01:53:05,600 --> 01:53:07,599
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know you're kind of stuck,

2286
01:53:07,760 --> 01:53:10,160
Speaker 2: stuck with him, and then you don't give Justin Fields

2287
01:53:10,160 --> 01:53:13,280
Speaker 2: the shot. So I'll say Russell Wilson gets the first start.

2288
01:53:14,200 --> 01:53:16,600
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie and say I feel amazing about it,

2289
01:53:16,720 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 2: or I would be outraged if Justin Fields was the

2290
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 2: Week one starter. But I'll go ahead and say that

2291
01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:26,040
Speaker 2: that Russell Wilson does start Week one. They open at Atlanta,

2292
01:53:26,439 --> 01:53:29,639
Speaker 2: then play the Denver Broncos in Week two. Fox Sports

2293
01:53:29,720 --> 01:53:32,920

2303
01:54:03,280 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 2: to Week zero of the college football slate, and I

2304
01:54:06,479 --> 01:54:08,599
Speaker 2: know Bernie's got some good stuff as we head into

2305
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:12,280
Speaker 2: week one of college football, and of course not far

2306
01:54:12,360 --> 01:54:16,160
Speaker 2: behind it will be Week one of the NFL. Speaking

2307
01:54:16,160 --> 01:54:19,360
Speaker 2: of Week one of college football, jmart you know we're

2308
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,880
Speaker 2: not gonna be back on air before Week one is

2309
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:25,840
Speaker 2: mostly in the books. I want to talk about some

2310
01:54:25,920 --> 01:54:28,800
Speaker 2: of the games from next Thursday and Saturday. We could

2311
01:54:28,880 --> 01:54:32,400
Speaker 2: save Sunday night. We get lsu USC, which is gonna

2312
01:54:32,400 --> 01:54:34,680
Speaker 2: be a real fun one. We can obviously preview that

2313
01:54:35,320 --> 01:54:37,840
Speaker 2: at this time next week, but let's talk about some

2314
01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 2: of these games. First of all, Thursday night kind of

2315
01:54:41,720 --> 01:54:46,919
Speaker 2: an intriguing one. Colorado Buffaloes nine and a half point favorite.

2316
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:51,160
Speaker 2: They're playing the North Dakota State Bison. North Kota State,

2317
01:54:51,200 --> 01:54:55,960
Speaker 2: of course, is an FCS team, FCS a level below Colorado,

2318
01:54:56,680 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 2: but coach Prime Colorado Deon Sanders, they're not taking them.

2319
01:54:59,840 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 2: Like you know, Dion had that quote in passing where

2320
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:05,360
Speaker 2: he said, I told my ad Rick George, because you

2321
01:55:05,400 --> 01:55:08,560
Speaker 2: have given me an easy opener to start with, you

2322
01:55:08,640 --> 01:55:12,160
Speaker 2: had to give me North Dakota State. Do you think

2323
01:55:12,520 --> 01:55:16,240
Speaker 2: Colorado could or should or will be on upset alert

2324
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:16,960
Speaker 2: Thursday night.

2325
01:55:17,320 --> 01:55:20,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if they are going to be on

2326
01:55:20,160 --> 01:55:23,720
Speaker 3: upset alert, but North Dakota State's going to show up

2327
01:55:23,720 --> 01:55:25,760
Speaker 3: to play. It's not one of their better teams, like

2328
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:29,440
Speaker 3: it's not one of those North Dakota State teams. But

2329
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,839
Speaker 3: when you are a program that is used to winning,

2330
01:55:34,040 --> 01:55:36,440
Speaker 3: and you have a staff that's used to winning, and

2331
01:55:36,520 --> 01:55:39,280
Speaker 3: you have a certain culture that you used to winning.

2332
01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:42,120
Speaker 3: That can cause some trouble. There's a whole lot of

2333
01:55:42,160 --> 01:55:44,320
Speaker 3: eyeballs on Colorado. Now it's going to be in their

2334
01:55:44,320 --> 01:55:47,280
Speaker 3: home stadium. Should be a great night. You would think

2335
01:55:47,440 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 3: schdor Sanders should have some time because the O line

2336
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 3: and D line have been completely overhauled via the transfer

2337
01:55:54,600 --> 01:55:58,080
Speaker 3: portal with ten guys on both sides being brought in,

2338
01:55:58,240 --> 01:56:01,720
Speaker 3: so you've got new bodies there. You should have a

2339
01:56:01,760 --> 01:56:04,400
Speaker 3: bit of a size advantage there. So if you can

2340
01:56:04,440 --> 01:56:06,680
Speaker 3: give him time, we know what should door Sanders is

2341
01:56:06,720 --> 01:56:09,640
Speaker 3: capable of doing. So. I mean I anticipate Colorado is

2342
01:56:09,680 --> 01:56:12,880
Speaker 3: going to win the game. But good on Dion. You

2343
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:15,440
Speaker 3: know there have been some negatives there, certainly recently. But

2344
01:56:15,520 --> 01:56:19,000
Speaker 3: good on Dion for suggesting that North Dakota State needs

2345
01:56:19,040 --> 01:56:22,200
Speaker 3: to be taken seriously because it starts at the top.

2346
01:56:22,240 --> 01:56:25,040
Speaker 3: And that doesn't sound like lip service. That sounds like, yeah,

2347
01:56:25,080 --> 01:56:27,200
Speaker 3: I know this is a program. They can win some games,

2348
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:30,880
Speaker 3: and Colorado is still a program where we are we

2349
01:56:30,960 --> 01:56:33,080
Speaker 3: are waiting to see whether or not they're going to

2350
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:34,120
Speaker 3: continue winning games.

2351
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see, we'll see with them. I'm not this

2352
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 2: is one Listen. You know, as you said, you know

2353
01:56:41,920 --> 01:56:44,760
Speaker 2: they've been a great program. I don't know that this

2354
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 2: is like Carson Wentz North Dakota State first year head coach.

2355
01:56:47,560 --> 01:56:50,800
Speaker 2: By the way, their coach left to take a job

2356
01:56:50,840 --> 01:56:53,560
Speaker 2: on the new USC defensive staff.

2357
01:56:54,040 --> 01:56:54,160
Speaker 10: Uh.

2358
01:56:54,360 --> 01:56:56,600
Speaker 2: Colorado is going to have have their games where they're

2359
01:56:56,640 --> 01:56:58,720
Speaker 2: in trouble. I think starting as early as Week two

2360
01:56:58,760 --> 01:57:01,320
Speaker 2: against Nebraska. I don't know what this one is it.

2361
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:03,520
Speaker 2: By the way, the other big game on Thursday in

2362
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:07,840
Speaker 2: North Carolina at Minnesota, that is a Fox game. Let's

2363
01:57:07,880 --> 01:57:12,040
Speaker 2: go really quickly to Saturday, big one noon Eastern.

2364
01:57:12,800 --> 01:57:14,560
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know if it's is it still

2365
01:57:14,600 --> 01:57:15,560
Speaker 4: considered a big one.

2366
01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:20,320
Speaker 2: Clemson for Georgia, you know, sounds great on paper, but

2367
01:57:20,360 --> 01:57:22,280
Speaker 2: it's wild. Jason, you know, I remember you and I

2368
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:25,720
Speaker 2: first show we ever did together was these teams played

2369
01:57:25,720 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 2: to open. I guess it would have been the twenty

2370
01:57:27,760 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 2: twenty one season, and Clemson was like a one two

2371
01:57:32,760 --> 01:57:35,800
Speaker 2: point favorite. Well, you fast forward a couple of years.

2372
01:57:36,240 --> 01:57:41,480
Speaker 2: Clemson is now a thirteen and a half point underdog

2373
01:57:42,080 --> 01:57:45,200
Speaker 2: to the number one ranked Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia was my

2374
01:57:45,280 --> 01:57:48,520
Speaker 2: preseason national championship pick. J mart took Texas. If you

2375
01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:52,120
Speaker 2: missed that, check out the podcast. But what do you

2376
01:57:52,160 --> 01:57:56,000
Speaker 2: think of Clemson being a two touchdown underdog to Georgia

2377
01:57:56,040 --> 01:57:56,640
Speaker 2: in Week one?

2378
01:57:56,920 --> 01:57:59,440
Speaker 3: Well, when we did our playoff preview, I had Clemson

2379
01:57:59,520 --> 01:58:02,480
Speaker 3: fourth because I think they're gonna win the ACC and

2380
01:58:02,520 --> 01:58:04,440
Speaker 3: by default that means they're going to be number four,

2381
01:58:04,440 --> 01:58:06,880
Speaker 3: But they're nowhere near the number four team. They're probably

2382
01:58:06,880 --> 01:58:12,040
Speaker 3: closer to number fourteen. It's early, it's a neutral site.

2383
01:58:12,160 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 3: I throw that in air quotes, even though Atlanta's not

2384
01:58:14,520 --> 01:58:19,440
Speaker 3: that far from Clemson either. Georgia in that building, that's

2385
01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 3: just that's a tough ask. I feel like Georgia, Georgia

2386
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:24,840
Speaker 3: and Alabama we had seen through the years when they

2387
01:58:24,840 --> 01:58:26,600
Speaker 3: had these kind of matchups like this, they end up

2388
01:58:26,640 --> 01:58:29,880
Speaker 3: just absolutely blowing a team out that's a ranked team.

2389
01:58:30,000 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 3: I could see that happening, But this could be tight.

2390
01:58:34,040 --> 01:58:37,120
Speaker 3: I would take the line with Georgia here because I

2391
01:58:37,160 --> 01:58:40,120
Speaker 3: think it will be more than two touchdowns. But it's

2392
01:58:40,120 --> 01:58:41,960
Speaker 3: still a big game. It's already I mean, the two

2393
01:58:42,160 --> 01:58:44,400
Speaker 3: maybe the most intriguing games of the day are both

2394
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:47,040
Speaker 3: at noon Eastern time, because you've got Penn State in

2395
01:58:47,080 --> 01:58:49,240
Speaker 3: West Virginia, and I think West Virginia could give them

2396
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:49,560
Speaker 3: a game.

2397
01:58:49,600 --> 01:58:51,880
Speaker 2: To say the least, I think West Virginia could as well.

2398
01:58:51,920 --> 01:58:54,200
Speaker 2: West Virginia an eight and a half point home underdog

2399
01:58:54,600 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 2: Penn State. Obviously, we will see what they look like.

2400
01:58:58,040 --> 01:59:00,720
Speaker 2: New offensive coordinator. Need to get that offense go really quick.

2401
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:06,720
Speaker 2: Afternoon game Miami at Florida. Miami's actually a two and

2402
01:59:06,800 --> 01:59:10,120
Speaker 2: a half point road favorite. What do you got in

2403
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:10,320
Speaker 2: this one?

2404
01:59:10,400 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 3: J Mar That would be a bad loss for Florida. Napier.

2405
01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's gonna have the time to

2406
01:59:16,160 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 3: turn it around. I don't know how much of it

2407
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,880
Speaker 3: is on him, but Florida is not gonna take this

2408
01:59:21,280 --> 01:59:24,720
Speaker 3: lying down for very long. They're just they're too used

2409
01:59:24,760 --> 01:59:27,680
Speaker 3: to being a program that you just can't fall behind

2410
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:30,880
Speaker 3: this way. And you like Miami this year, so definitely

2411
01:59:30,920 --> 01:59:32,680
Speaker 3: gonna be an intriguing one. It's gonna be a hard

2412
01:59:32,680 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 3: fault one. It's one Florida really needs. I tend to

2413
01:59:35,320 --> 01:59:38,440
Speaker 3: think they probably do somehow win the game, but Miami

2414
01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 3: is the better team.

2415
01:59:40,160 --> 01:59:43,480
Speaker 2: I like Florida just figuring out a way. By the way,

2416
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:45,480
Speaker 2: the late one because we got to get out of here.

2417
01:59:45,560 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 2: It is Texas A and M hosting Notre Dame Texas

2418
01:59:48,480 --> 01:59:50,080
Speaker 2: A and M A slight favorite, but I'll tell you what,

2419
01:59:50,160 --> 01:59:52,120
Speaker 2: j mart we got to run. Want to thank the crew,
