22
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: Texas life. It's very hot here. I mean it's absurdly hot.

23
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: The people know it. They might not talk about it

24
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: all the time, but I know that they can tell that, like,

25
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 1: it's hotter than it needs to be here, it's not

26
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:47,119
Speaker 1: gonna be They're aware, they live they lived there, right,

27
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: But at a certain point that this is there was

28
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: just a understanding that it's never gonna change. So we're

29
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 1: just gonna live with it. But you know, when somebody

30
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 1: like me comes in, maybe I'm putting the conversation back

31
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: out there again that it's too hot in Texas and

32
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: start that conversation. I do find and each of your

33
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: comments about um, your experience there seems to paint you

34
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: as someone coming in from out of town and operating

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: as like a societal rainmaker. It just it's sort of like,

36
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: I wonder if they'll do a story about me in

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: the local newspaper with a comment from last week. I

38
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,000

Speaker 1: it from here in Texas when it returns next week.

55
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: That feels in a small town in Texas. And I'm

56
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: not trying to be the meaning I'm I'm being serious

57
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: like a pretty big deal. So I talked to some

58
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 1: of the town's people. I said, can I get in

59
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 1: the Gatesville Messenger, which is the paper of record, uh here?

60
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: And I did, But I did also throw out there,

61
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: um important caveats. One. I need the cover. You're not

62
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: gonna put me in the inside of the paper. I

63
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: want to be on the cover. It's weekly like a

64
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: weekly thing, or it's a weekly. It's a weekly periodical.

65
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: Very very nice job they do covering the region. And

66
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: I want a photos. I want a photo and I

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: want the cover. And if I do that, I'll agree

68
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: to an interview. What is the headline, Raging egotist arrives

69
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: from California. But I don't you've announced yourself. By the way, Also,

70
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: you opened that comment by suggesting that you're the cowboy

71
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: and the horse rider and you'll have a Texas town.

72
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: I don't think you've ever ridden a horse area area.

73
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: Man using third person flies down demands article. All right,

74
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: you want the headline? I mean I said, you guys

75
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: are stuck in your homes in l A. And I

76
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: understand there's a bitterness involved there. I'm telling you, I've

77
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: been at the speech three out of the last five days.

78
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: Give me a break with a hundred degrees. I've never

79
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: had a better time than these last three months. We

80
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: all know that, correct. But this headline NFL Networks star

81
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: lands in small town, Texas. I don't. I don't understand

82
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: the concert. This is what's filling most of your mind

83
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: during your trip to Texas. How are you happening? How

84
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: are you pitching this to to the paper? Uh? Like

85
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: I said, this is a great fine close in the community.

86
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: Everybody knows everybody, and one of Emily's friends is connected

87
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 1: to the higher ups at the Messenger. So who is

88
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: She's going to put in a word? She's going to

89
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: do the pitching? She here, she easier pr flack again.

90
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: I need front page, I need a photo and if

91
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I get that, they get the interview right. Well, God

92
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: speed to you. This is a noble mission. If nothing else.

93
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: All right, today's show, it's gonna be a good one.

94
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 1: We spun the wheel and it landed on the Baltimore Ravens,

95
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 1: the defending a f C North champion. So we are

96
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: going to have a conversation with Greg, someone that you

97
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: have a good relationship with and who was very knowledgable

98
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 1: of the team. Want to tell the audience Glenn and Clark. Uh, yeah,

99
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: he's been covering at the Ravens as long as I

100
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: can remember. I would guess over a decade. But does

101
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: does radio out of Baltimore? Yes? What do I say? Yeah? Good?

102
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 1: I thinek I feel like we've done a really good

103
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: job procuring talent to discuss these teams for the deep dives.

104
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: And I'm sure Glenn is gonna be another hit. So

105
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 1: we got Glenn coming up. Uh but before that, let

106
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: us hit the news. This is Mob Baates d s

107
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 1: a t N correspondent for all matters Dan Jail ma'am

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: both the universities and back toward Lady Chicken Bears. See,

00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: I'm bringing that Texas flair here. I mean, Bob Bates

110
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: is on the show today. Get Bob's voice on there.

111
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 1: You know you're doing something right. Yeah, we have a

112
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: varied list of stringers, that's for sure on this Imagine

113
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 1: if there is no Baylor Bears this year, he who knows,

114
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: he might have to be full time Denzel Men's correspondent.

115
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 1: I might have to be a daily, daily feature on

116
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: the podcast. You're also assuming there's gonna be Denzel mill

117
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: Men's playing football, which maybe it's tremendous leap to make

118
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: at this point. All right, let's let's get to the news.

119
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: Will start with some very bad news for the Philadelphia Eagles,

120
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: who lose one of the best guards in the league.

121
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: Brandon Brooks suffered a torn left achilles tendon while working

122
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: out at the Eagles complex on Monday. And this is

123
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: a guy when you you know, some people put more

124
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,960
Speaker 1: into pro football focused than others. I understand that. But

125
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: he was ranked as the number one overall guard in

126
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: football last season. Uh, he is thirty years old, he's

127
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: entering his age thirty one season. He hadn't missed the

128
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: game since. But he also tore the right achilles during

129
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs a year ago, a year and a half ago.

130
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: So terrible blow for the Eagles. Greg, You you like

131
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 1: their roster, you loved it last year, you still like it,

132
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: and you take Brooks out of the mix. How much

133
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 1: does this hurt them? It's a killer. I mean not

134
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: just PFF, but that you know, the real tape jockeys

135
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: who are into it, like Brandon Thorne or Brian Bollinger,

136
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: they think books Brooks the best guy in the league.

137
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I think right now he had the title. And you

138
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: and you feel for him first. I mean, he's a

139
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: guy who's spoken about, uh, you know, very publicly about

140
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: his mental health issues and how you know anxiety had

141
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: had prevented him, if you remember, um from playing at

142
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: one point and to go through two major injuries like

143
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: this in such a short amount of time for what

144
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, who knows it could have been maybe a

145
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame type of career. He certainly you know,

146
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: was having as great a career as you could. Is

147
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: a killer. And then it's it's a killer for the

148
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: Eagles to who have to have the worst injury luck

149
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: of any team in the league. I mean, they're always

150
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: right near the bottom of that football outsiders you know,

151
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: missed games from starters list, and they've been like that

152
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: really since they won their Super Bowl. Even that year

153
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: they were pretty banged that. But those last two years,

154
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: I don't think we really saw who the Eagles were

155
00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: because they were so hurt. And now they're they're stuck

156
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: with it again one of their key pieces. Yeah, I mean,

157
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, in a league where we might not get

158
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: a full helping of training camp um preseason games. Suddenly

159
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: it sounds like Matt Prior, who is he's six ft seven,

160
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,800
Speaker 1: by the way, he is like bigger than most human beings,

161
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,080
Speaker 1: like front doors. But but but you you're talking about

162
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: a line that won't have a chance to gel even

163
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: with Brooks, and now you've got got his back up

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:57,440
Speaker 1: in and I can. You can think of teams every

165
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: season where they look good and then the offensive line

166
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,960
Speaker 1: suffers injuries, especially along the interior. Sometimes the whole offense

167
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: is affected and it crumbles. And uh, you know that's

168
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: not the only issue injury issue right now in the offseason.

169
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: So problems for for for the Eagles right away. Well,

170
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: and you think about their offensive line. I think that's

171
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: what they're known for, that and their defensive line. So

172
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: now you're replacing Jason Peters at left tackle and Brandon

173
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: Books at right guard. And you, yeah, you have a

174
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 1: first round pick I left tackle, but you haven't really

175
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 1: seen him play at a high level. And so now

176
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: now suddenly you're kind of like the Cowboys where you're

177
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: known for your line, but your two best players at

178
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 1: least from two three years ago in terms of Peters,

179
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: are are gone. So it's not the same line anymore.

180
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:41,280
Speaker 1: I've seen it in various places that this ramps up

181
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: the chance that Jason Peters returns. But what what would

182
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: he kick to guard? Is that how it seems like

183
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: a bit of a weird fit at this stage of

184
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: his career. But a lot of people seem to be

185
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: connecting dots on that. Yeah, the BT writers seemed to

186
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 1: think that's not gonna happen, but who knows. They're gon Yeah,

187
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to come up with something. I mean,

188
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: just slide and prior. Who knows, there's some free agents

189
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: out there be either way, it's it's a big loss.

190
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: In other news, the San Francisco forty Niners have done

191
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: some business with their head coach Kyle Shanahan and the

192
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: team agreed to a multi year extension to cover six years,

193
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: and it replaces the three years that were left on

194
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: his deal, so he's tied with San Francisco now through

195
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: the season. As you might expect. It makes him amongst

196
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: the highest paid coaches in football. And this feels like

197
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: a no brainer quite frankly, Mark Sessler, because Shannon has

198
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: proved proven that he knows what he's doing. He's just

199
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240
Speaker 1: fresh off a Super Bowl berth and he's one of

200
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 1: the young most impressive offensive minds in the league and

201
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,199
Speaker 1: has shown that he could handle the big chair as well. Yeah,

202
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: I think it's no brainer, is a perfect way to

203
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: put it. And you know, Shanahan, we saw what you know,

204
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: you talk about injuries in Philadelphia the Niners during his

205
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: first two seasons in San Francisco were utterly ravaged by injury,

206
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: and so you know, the stock was low, and it

207
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: wasn't too long ago that on this show we were

208
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: questioning whether or not Shanahan and John Lynch might be

209
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: hot seat material if last year's team didn't do what

210
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: they did, but with a fully healthy roster. UM. I

211
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: think you saw what Mike Shanahan or what Kyle Shanahan

212
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 1: is as a head coach, and I do think that, honestly,

213
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: he will be seen in time as one of the

214
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: best around UM right now. You know, I tweeted at

215
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: something about that yesterday. I got a lot of flak

216
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: for it that I do I honestly and look at

217
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: I'm happy to be wrong about that, but UM, I

218
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: honestly think he will be. I think he already has

219
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: the traits UM, and I think he's seen around the

220
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: league as UM genius material. And you know, you can

221
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: point to the playoffs stuff the Super Bowl, but the

222
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls that people want to pin on him,

223
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: that's not how I would judge him entirely. I look

224
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: at the whole body of work and I think if

225
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 1: you have him as your head coach, if you're a

226
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: Niners fan, you're sitting pretty for a long time. Yeah.

227
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: My immediate thought was, first of all, that's the biggest

228
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: respecting get. You get that, you get a big extension,

229
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: three years left in your contract. I mean, that's that's

230
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: what you're looking for. You think they're extending any of

231
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: us with three years left, No way, They're gonna wait

232
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: till it gets down to the to the end. You know,

233
00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: there's that much time. Let's just give him more. Let's

234
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 1: give them a big time raise. I mean that would

235
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,079
Speaker 1: be great. Uh. The second thing was is where is

236
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: John Lynch in this? Because they signed to six year contracts,

237
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 1: it was sort of famous, Wow, they're really committing to

238
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 1: both of them for a long time, and they kind

239
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: of were on the same timeline. And some some of

240
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: the Beat writers do believe that John Lynch could and

241
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: should be next, and that he might get a promotion

242
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: in terms of his title. But it is I think

243
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,560
Speaker 1: telling that that Shanahan comes first. They didn't announce them together,

244
00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 1: which I don't know if it says anything. We'll see

245
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: if Lynch gets extended. He's got plenty of time left

246
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: on his deal. But Shannahan's the key guy of those

247
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: two guys. Well, sometimes you find out too, you find

248
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,959
Speaker 1: out that like John Lynch was extended two months and

249
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: they just didn't announced, you know, I could see them,

250
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 1: like a lot of teams do. UM angling this from

251
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: a pr angle where there's no question that the two

252
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: of them would their journey would continue together. I'm gonna

253
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: put a little uh respect on the names of the

254
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: all time great coaches, Mark, because one of the things

255
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: that you need to really be an all time grade

256
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,320
Speaker 1: is show that you can evolve and stay great over

257
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:24,800
Speaker 1: a long period of time. Shanahan were still I know,

258
00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: he had a nice run, a great runners, an offensive coordinator.

259
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 1: He's been a coach for three years, six and ten,

260
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: four and twelve, thirteen and three. He's obviously trending in

261
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 1: the right direction. But that is that's a bold take, Mark,

262
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: does it? Is it connected at all with some passion?

263
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: Uh to you? Because he was in the building of

264
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: the Cleveland Browns and they let him out the door

265
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: very quickly, not at all. I thought they handled that

266
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: disgracefully if anything, Um, And this is not in any

267
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: way I'm not in any way trying to that's the

268
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 1: passion I'm talking about that maybe or no, I's connected.

269
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: I think that. I think he um everywhere he's gone.

270
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,280
Speaker 1: He has done remarkable stuff with his offensive players. And

271
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 1: you want to look at early career troubles from a

272
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: coaching record, I would point to the person I was

273
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:09,840
Speaker 1: fanning out hard for back in the nineties, Bill Belichick.

274
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: Where I and I'm not saying, hey, I look at me.

275
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: I got this right. A lot of people knew he

276
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: was a super talented defensive coordinator, but he struggled mightily

277
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: as a head coach and struggled in every way that

278
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 1: you could UM in Cleveland, went to New England, what

279
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: were they? Five and eleven the first year there? One

280
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 1: in three the year after, and everyone thought this Belichick guy.

281
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 1: The fact that they traded picks for him, I don't

282
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: get it at all. All these people were down on him.

283
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 1: Three months later they've won the super Bowl. So you

284
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: know I would I would look at Kyle Shanahan also

285
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 1: that when he's had a chance this offensive corner, every

286
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: team he's touched were transformed. And the same is now

287
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: true of a Niners team that was a laughing stock

288
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 1: four seasons. And it's a projection, but it's a bald

289
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 1: One and he you know, if you wanted to look

290
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 1: at offensive minds in the NFL over the last decade,

291
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: who you know, there aren't many better than Kyle Shanna.

292
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people you know would

293
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:00,680
Speaker 1: agree with you on that. And and if you want

294
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: to look at the offensive minds in terms of impact

295
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: in the last three decades, four decades, there's not many

296
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: higher than Mike Shanahan. They almost should get more credit

297
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: as like a as an incredible family dynasty, but they

298
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: don't have quite the amount of of titles as probably

299
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,479
Speaker 1: they would like. Uh. In other news, Colin Kaepernick continues

300
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: to be at the forefront of the conversation. This time

301
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers coach Anthony Lynn spoke out in conversation

302
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: with reporters saying teams would quote be crazy not to

303
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: have Kaepernick on their workout lists this summer. He also

304
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: told reporters on Wednesday that the Chargers have not made

305
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: plans to work out with Kaepernick and that he has

306
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 1: not spoken to the former forty his quarterback, but like

307
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: Pete Carroll before him, says the Kaepernick obviously is worthy

308
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: of consideration on a depth chart somewhere in the league

309
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: and it only takes one. Yeah, he said that he

310
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: he'd fit the offense they want to run, which is interesting.

311
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: You know they have a top ten draft pick, so

312
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: that you know, Justin Herbert's the guy it's all about,

313
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: and you have Tyrod. But he did say, look, if

314
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: there was an injury, that that could be a guy

315
00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: that we would call the whole like putting him on

316
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: a workout list, like that's not an official thing necessarily

317
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 1: he did. He did point out though that he they

318
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: were not a team that called up Pete Carroll, so

319
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: that is that as another team and as we sort

320
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: of wonder if Kaepernick can get back and link. It

321
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000
Speaker 1: really did strike me today as the Premier League was

322
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 1: starting in someone alerted to this, UH us to this

323
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: in our mentions how the two teams in the first

324
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: Premier League game back took a knee before they you

325
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,320
Speaker 1: know started the game, as did the official I noticed too. Um,

326
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: it's really it's really pretty amazing. It's a it's amazing

327
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: to see on a different continent. Um, you know, protesting

328
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: of racial in a quality really started with like the

329
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,000
Speaker 1: way the police have handled black people here, but it's

330
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 1: it's something that has made a worldwide impact. That's crazy.

331
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 1: I know I'm rambling a little bit, but why. I mean,

332
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: it's just like it really strikes you when you see

333
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: it across halfway across the world. Well, I would, I

334
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: would suggest that Anthony Lynn, whom of all the coaches,

335
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,440
Speaker 1: probably came out with the most most heartfelt, passionate statement

336
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: about what was happening in our country. You know, a

337
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago, Um that I buy this, and

338
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: I would. I would look from a football angle to uh,

339
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: you know Dan remember that game and Rex Ryan who

340
00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: had a fascination with Tyrod Taylor. Um, because he always

341
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: was struck by how hard it was to deal with

342
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,199
Speaker 1: mobile quarterbacks. And now you can say Rex Ryan was

343
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: was you know, behind on the times with that one,

344
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,240
Speaker 1: but he was a Tyrod fan. And I'll say this,

345
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:52,960
Speaker 1: that thirty four nothing game when Kaepernick was sprinkled into

346
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: the Niners offense thirty four nothing over the Jets, Anthony

347
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,399
Speaker 1: Lynn was part of that team. He was part of

348
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,920
Speaker 1: the Bills team that was fascinated with Rod Taylor. He's

349
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,439
Speaker 1: gone out of his way to stand for Taylor and

350
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: call him his starter right now. So the idea that

351
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 1: Kaepernick would have a place if they needed someone. I

352
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 1: totally buy it from. They need an injury, they need

353
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: probably everyone right now, yeah, not every Yeah, you're right

354
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 1: in in in l A. At least I think he

355
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: needs a Tyrod injury probably yeah. But you know that

356
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: said and you will look at their roster and Tyrod

357
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: is amongst the best backups in the league. But at

358
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: the same time, everybody's got the same similar opinion. It

359
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,120
Speaker 1: seems on Kaepernick for the most part, that he would

360
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: instantly become one of the league's better backups and maybe

361
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: a starter if he got the opportunity. We're getting close

362
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: to a tropiller here. I mean, I I just how

363
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 1: many more coaches are we gonna hear say, oh, how

364
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,159
Speaker 1: a lot of talent this Kaepernick is. You know, I'm

365
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: not going to bring him into my team, but he

366
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 1: would be great on somebody else's team. Somebody actually doesn't, right,

367
00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: It's just tricky. I don't I don't fall danthon Newlyn

368
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,479
Speaker 1: because he's he's just answering the question, you know what

369
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,439
Speaker 1: I mean, like, what what can he do? He's trying.

370
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,159
Speaker 1: But if this is going to become the new m

371
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: O of all these coaches, when they get asked about

372
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 1: Karen Kaepernick, praise how great he is, and then say

373
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: you know, I'm set, but you know, well I would

374
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: I'll say this. I think that's something worth tracking here.

375
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,239
Speaker 1: I hear you were in a totally different place than

376
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: we were six months ago, and I think there is

377
00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: um progress on some level there. It's fair to be suspicious.

378
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: But when we start to get quarterback injuries and a

379
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: bunch of no name or ham and egg type quarterbacks

380
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: that have no experience are getting signed before Kaepernick, your

381
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: point is valid. Until then, I want to see that

382
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 1: happen first, and and the the one biggest, the biggest changes.

383
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:40,920
Speaker 1: He's already better than a lot of these guys. Everyone

384
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 1: I well not not everyone is saying he's so much

385
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 1: better than our backup quarterback, we just won't sign him.

386
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: That's your That's a couple of wet We could tick

387
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: through the list right now. We're not going to but

388
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,280
Speaker 1: a backup quarterbacks, and I know, without doing a deep dive,

389
00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 1: that would be worthless. But where you could just say, oh,

390
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,159
Speaker 1: you know, I throughout Chad, he is the Chiefs back up.

391
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,879
Speaker 1: On Twitter, half that I would say, half to just

392
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: talk about look at the Rams roster? Why talk about

393
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: at the Rams? Right? Goes on and on. I mean,

394
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: there are plenty of teams that could stand to use

395
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: somebody like Kaepernick, And it is interesting in Goodell is

396
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 1: going to be asked about it again. He's going to

397
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 1: answer the question. But it was interesting to hear him

398
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 1: quoted on ESPN seeing you know he would encourage it,

399
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: he used, he used that word. I think he knows

400
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: he would ultimately be good for the NFL, but he

401
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: can't make an owner or a coach do it, right.

402
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: I think there are coaches who would want to do it,

403
00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: and you're not here. This wasn't the problem. I'll go

404
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: to my grave believing John Harbaugh specifically wanted to sign

405
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: Kaepernick period in seventeen and that he was not allowed to. Well,

406
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: I would, I would slow down to one thing though.

407
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: There are a lot of coaches. There's having talked to

408
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 1: just a couple of people who who said, of all

409
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: my coaching friends, many of them were super turned off

410
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: by the protest, the kneeling. They were absolutely turned off

411
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: by one coaching others. I think, and that that was

412
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:03,960
Speaker 1: years ago. Where are we now? I mean, but when

413
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: we have owners, when you have five or six owners

414
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,120
Speaker 1: saying we would love to sign Kaepernick. I think that's

415
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: where the change needs to happen. The owners have stayed

416
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: silent in other news. Let's do a little update and

417
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: what's going on. We talked about Brandon Brooks, Uh, Eagles

418
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 1: losing him Aushan Jeffrey, Uh, A little update on him

419
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: is that there really is no update. Doug Peterson said

420
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: that the wide receiver is focusing on his rehab and

421
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 1: getting strong, but he had Liz Frank surgery and uh,

422
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,360
Speaker 1: still no timetable for a return. And this is obviously

423
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: an important piece for the Eagles who kind of have

424
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,880
Speaker 1: to hope Greg that Jeffrey gets healthy and turns back

425
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,479
Speaker 1: the clock. Otherwise we might be dealing with a similar

426
00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: situations last year. I know they brought in a young

427
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver in the draft, but they kind of need

428
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Jeffrey to turn back the clock or they're gonna again

429
00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 1: be looking at a situation where there there there's a

430
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: dearth of playmakers on the outside. Yeah. I wanted to

431
00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: thought about this one because I've seen like Fantasy football

432
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: and some projections for this season talking about Okay, well

433
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 1: they got you know, Deshaun and Jeffrey back. It's like,

434
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,240
Speaker 1: first of Austin, Jeffrey wouldn't be on this team if

435
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 1: they if his salary wasn't guaranteed, they wanted to cut him.

436
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna expect I would be shocked

437
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 1: if he was playing at the beginning of the year.

438
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Like coming off of a Liz

439
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: Frank's surgery that late in the calendar year, that's a

440
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,880
Speaker 1: quick turnaround for a guy who's had a lot of problems.

441
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,120
Speaker 1: And you did get the sense I I thought back

442
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: in February March that he's more of a candidate to

443
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 1: go on the pu P list, and it puts, You're right,

444
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot of pressure on Jalen reagor their their first

445
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: round pick. He's gonna have to kind of be a

446
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,160
Speaker 1: hit because he's gonna be a big part. I think

447
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: anything they get from Jeffrey, who has just been beat up,

448
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: is gonna be a bonus. I think there are Eagles

449
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 1: fans that are still annoyed that the Cowboys a few

450
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: spots ahead of them grab ceedee lamb. I mean, certainly

451
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: all Eagles fans would be annoyed by that, But um

452
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 1: thinking that the Eagles should have been more aggressive to

453
00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: go get one of the top one or two guys

454
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 1: in the draft. Didn't happen. And you know, I don't

455
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 1: know if it's because I've spent like the past four

456
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: months just sitting in essentially three rooms inside my house.

457
00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:11,400
Speaker 1: But it's suddenly mid to late June. You know, this offseason.

458
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: It's not three or four more months for these players

459
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,160
Speaker 1: to rehab. And you're hearing little whispers now about some

460
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: players that have returned to the facilities saying not ready yet.

461
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 1: And it is it's to have two of these issues

462
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: with the Eagles in one news Rundown is problematic. M Hm,

463
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 1: Erica looks concerned, just like on our video when you

464
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:35,680
Speaker 1: when you think about that Eagle's depth chart, how how

465
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: concerned do you? I'm worried for that team. I'm worried

466
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,480
Speaker 1: for a lot of these teams, you know what. I like, Frank,

467
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: you can't come back from I like when you take

468
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 1: the mute off and you can hear the boats, you know,

469
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,399
Speaker 1: flying in the background or whatever. China. I'm just getting

470
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,040
Speaker 1: my son. Like you guys just keep going like like

471
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 1: a woman on water skis, like waving to the whole crowd.

472
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: She zooms past your your manner right the helicopter right above,

473
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: waiting to land on the heley pad. Yeah, so I'm

474
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,199
Speaker 1: flagging it off. I'm like, come on, I'm trying to

475
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:11,159
Speaker 1: get the show with dad. Move the helicopter. Um, all right,

476
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 1: finally in the news, bad news in the kicker club.

477
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: See but go on, DWN. Sorry, yes, daughter. This is

478
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: why I like to keep my kickers in the club,

479
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 1: because once they get out of the club, these guys

480
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 1: are basically just maniacs. They're just uncontrolled in yeah, uh,

481
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: Aldrick wrote. Rosas, who was a all pro level kicker

482
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:42,359
Speaker 1: for the Giants UH two seasons ago, was arrested and

483
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 1: jail Tuesday for misdemeanor hit and run and driving on

484
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: a suspended license. And he hit a car after running

485
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: a red light. There's a belief that there could have

486
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: been alcohol evolved. This is the second incident for the

487
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 1: Giants UH in the last month. Of course, DeAndre Baker,

488
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 1: the first round pick last year, was arrested in connection

489
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: with an armed robbery in Florida. So a little bit

490
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 1: of a messy offseason for the Giants. During COVID times,

491
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 1: I would just ask when this is released on social

492
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,119
Speaker 1: an hour from now. What the response will be to

493
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: a the tone of the music against the news that

494
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: he was announced and Erica essentially operating like she's at

495
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: a rave in um during what seems like a rather

496
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: serious news pieces. Yeah, yeah, that's why we're not sending

497
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: it on social. Uh. Yeah, Rossas is lucky. I mean

498
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: he might get You would be so lucky to have

499
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 1: Mark and Greg here? Is he all right? He was

500
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,119
Speaker 1: going over a hud he was going over a hundred

501
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: miles an hour, they said, Uh so, obviously it's like

502
00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: lucky no one got hurt. But they also found him

503
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: just walking along the side of the road, bloody with

504
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,680
Speaker 1: no shoes on, like you know, far away from where

505
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: he left the car, and it's it's not a good enough.

506
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: First of all, if you know who's going, you know

507
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 1: he's going a hundred miles an hour. He's a I've

508
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: heard of Shoelis kickers, He's a Shoeliss driver. Like, what

509
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 1: what's happening here? Uh? And check in with Mark on

510
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 1: the tone of Greg's comments right here, Mark at least

511
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,440
Speaker 1: being a little a little bit on a flighty from

512
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,640
Speaker 1: Greg here, I see what you're doing um and I'm

513
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: not gonna be a party to it. I mean, it

514
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: sounds like more like something that Dennis Hopper got up

515
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,000
Speaker 1: to in like nineteen seventy one than an NFL kicker

516
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 1: in But you know, I don't know. I mean, he

517
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: was greeted as a legend for it, one of the

518
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: it's cool when a movie star does it, not one

519
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,879
Speaker 1: of the highest paid kickers in the league. And he

520
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: went twelve or seventeen last year. I could, I wouldn't.

521
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if he's if he's kicked right

522
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: off that team. Joe Judge, Judge, Judge, Joe is here

523
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 1: and he may just spend some justice. That's a good one.

524
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,040
Speaker 1: There's so much, so many places to go. And when

525
00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: the head coaches Joe judge, because yeah, he could render

526
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: a guilty verdict before the actual courts do on this

527
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 1: one and say he gone right, throw the case out nice.

528
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's what's happening in the news. Jaxons

529
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 1: over the Middle top by Hollywood Cloud see you later,

530
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 1: Hollywood to the house. Jackson trying to run forward. Jackson

531
00:27:26,359 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: avoids strands. He's in touchdown. The march Jackson is a

532
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: lucid quarterback, Will checking himself, plucked by Sneed, He's dropped

533
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: the corner, a pluck by the rookie Wald receiver Puck touchdown,

534
00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: Big trust, Big Trust, the mar text, you don't get

535
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: a super Bowl out of me. The Baltimore Ravens up next,

536
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 1: and the Wheel of Teams, And as we do every week,

537
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 1: we reach out and connect with somebody who gets it,

538
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:59,359
Speaker 1: someone who knows the team, someone who can give us

539
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,479
Speaker 1: the inside that we couldn't possibly have from our chair. Uh.

540
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,639
Speaker 1: And this man's Glenn Clark. He's a columnist for press

541
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: Box and a guy that really knows his Ravens. Welcome

542
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: to the Around the NFL Podcast with Glenn Hero's it's

543
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 1: a pleasure, thanks for having me. Look at that. Just

544
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: coming with the heroes right off the top, I mean

545
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: work officially, so Gregg is like one of my favorite

546
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: people in the face of the planet. Guys, I don't

547
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: want this to be offensive, but like almost you have

548
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 1: to know how much I love Greg, Like I just

549
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 1: want to stare into his eyes and talked tennis to him.

550
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 1: But it's weird. It's weird case here. Glenn started off well,

551
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:45,840
Speaker 1: now it's going on. I do know now it makes sense.

552
00:28:45,840 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: Gregg pushed very hard for Glenn, and that was all

553
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,440
Speaker 1: part of the payoff. It seems we just want to

554
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,240
Speaker 1: tack some serena by the end of it. That's really so,

555
00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: you guys know, I would ask Gregg. I would have

556
00:28:57,520 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: Greg come onto my show every week and be like, dude,

557
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 1: we'll do like ten minutes. We would legitimately go for

558
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,000
Speaker 1: like twenty five minutes, and about twelve of them would

559
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: end up being about things that literally only and I

560
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 1: cared about. Well they if that, if that goes uh

561
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 1: in this in this direction on our show, Mark and

562
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: I will just take a seat and maybe and we're lax,

563
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: uh Glenn. The Ravens are in an interesting place right now.

564
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 1: They're in that rarefied air, which is both good and

565
00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 1: also potentially cursed. Where you are in super Bowl or

566
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 1: bust mode. You're the best team in the league last

567
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: season during the regular season fourteen and two, setting records,

568
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: you have the MVP behind center. It all goes to

569
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 1: hell off the playoff by But at the same time,

570
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 1: optimism is really probably never been higher or close to

571
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,400
Speaker 1: it in Baltimore right now, right and and it should

572
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: be right, Like, you look at this roster, Um, what's

573
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: the complaint? Right? Like? Could you have a little bit

574
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 1: more in the true pass rush department? Like, could you

575
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,080
Speaker 1: have gone out and gotten somebody that was more of

576
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: a true sack artist in stead of upgrading the defensive line,

577
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:03,640
Speaker 1: which was their priority and hoping that that will help

578
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 1: in that department, You could have done that. I guess

579
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: they could have added a little bit more as far

580
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,520
Speaker 1: as wide receiver was concerned. They grabbed the Uberna and

581
00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 1: Crochet and the draft, but they could have gotten more

582
00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:14,720
Speaker 1: of a top guy outside of that. What's your complaint

583
00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: about the roster? They gotta figure out interior line a

584
00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,760
Speaker 1: little bit with Marcia Yonders retirement, but it's stacked pretty

585
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 1: much everywhere. The secondary is overwhelming. Lamar Jackson is the

586
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: m v P. They have four legitimate NFL running backs

587
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,400
Speaker 1: in their back field. Um, it is really hard to

588
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,680
Speaker 1: figure out what you don't like about this roster and

589
00:30:33,720 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: why they wouldn't be able to compete to win a

590
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Not hard for Mark. He never likes the

591
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: Ravens well. I mean, I certainly respect what they've accomplished

592
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:45,680
Speaker 1: as a suffering Browns fan, but I have that. I

593
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: had to ask you this because you know you Lamar

594
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 1: Jackson last year a hundred and seventy six carries um

595
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: and obviously the heart and soul of the offense. But

596
00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 1: you mentioned those four backs and J. K. Dobbins is

597
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: a fascinating draft pick for them. How do you use Dobbins,

598
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 1: Lamar and Ingram on the ground, um, how do you

599
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: think they want to And do you see the offense

600
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: just simply looking the way it did last year or

601
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: are there any distinct um signposts that it may be

602
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 1: changed a bit um to take some of that heat

603
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 1: off of Lamar Jackson on the ground. I don't think so. Honestly,

604
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: I think that they've sort of not hidden from the

605
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:23,280
Speaker 1: fact that Lamar is gonna run. That's what they're gonna do.

606
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,600
Speaker 1: They're not afraid of the injury stuff they you know,

607
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 1: part of it is his athleticism. He does not take

608
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: those types of hits um. He's not that type of runner.

609
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: He is really good at getting out of bounds and

610
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 1: avoiding it. So they're not afraid of that. And they

611
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: know how much of a weapon it is. And when

612
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: they put backs in front of him either they can

613
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 1: block I mean, it's it's almost impossible. What can you

614
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: do about that as a defender. So I don't think

615
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 1: they're gonna try to get away from that at all.

616
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,880
Speaker 1: I do think Dobbins is fascinating, right, Like, can they

617
00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: have both of those guys on the field at the

618
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: same time. Of course they can, but they're not wildly

619
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 1: different types of backs right here in Ingram. So I

620
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see if we see more

621
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,280
Speaker 1: of Dobbin's being used as a pass catcher. He was

622
00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: at Ohio State right where he was more of a

623
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,240
Speaker 1: true runner. They believe he has the ability to be

624
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: that type of player, but we haven't seen a ton

625
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: of it just because he wasn't asking to do it.

626
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 1: That'll be fascinating. I think there's a lot of us

627
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: that sort of quietly would not be surprised to see J. K.

628
00:32:14,480 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: Dobbins ultimately be more of a featured back in this

629
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: offense as the year goes on. And you know, that's

630
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: not a knock on mark Ingram, who was very good.

631
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: It's just look at the skill set of J. K.

632
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: Dobbins and tell me why you wouldn't want that guy

633
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,400
Speaker 1: to have more and more touches as the year goes on,

634
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: our our friend in the desert, or I guess he's

635
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: no longer there. The Consigliari, Uh Spice Rack, you know,

636
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: thinks thinks he's the next time at Smith. But that

637
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 1: that's the comparison. And I think the thinking was a

638
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:42,719
Speaker 1: Ingram is not gonna be there forever and be. They

639
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:45,120
Speaker 1: ran the ball six hundred times last year, which is

640
00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:47,719
Speaker 1: probably their ideal. They can't really expect to run six

641
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,360
Speaker 1: hundred times every year. It's just it's kind of outrageous,

642
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: but really, well, it's like, you do need a bunch

643
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:55,400
Speaker 1: of guys if you're gonna try to run six hundred

644
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: times and have all the plays that Greg Roman has,

645
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:00,960
Speaker 1: And you know he's not gonna come back with all

646
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,400
Speaker 1: the same you know tricks. He's gonna he's gonna try

647
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: to advance it. He's gonna try to develop the running

648
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: game even further. And he they're so hard to defend

649
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: to me. The key that though, might be the receivers, though,

650
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's Brown and Miles Boyke, and their

651
00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 1: top two receivers are second year players. They're they're hoping

652
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,240
Speaker 1: boy Can is their second best receivers, so that you know,

653
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: I know everyone loves, you know, Hollywood Brown, but that's

654
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,000
Speaker 1: that to me is like where the growth can come

655
00:33:28,040 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 1: from those two guys and Greg It's a major injury

656
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: concern right, Like Hollywood Brown was literally not practicing for

657
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 1: much of last season. They were sort of just trusting it,

658
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,120
Speaker 1: like and for good reason. He showed up and he

659
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: played well and he was a great bit with Lamar Jackson.

660
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,520
Speaker 1: So there's some risk involved with that. Clearly, the way

661
00:33:43,520 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: they used Mark Andrews was more like a receiver, and

662
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: I think that we will see more of an expansion

663
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: upon that, seeing him out wide more often. Uh, They're

664
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: very comfortable with Nick Boyle as they're blocking tight end,

665
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: and you know that they're probably going to keep a

666
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:58,560
Speaker 1: third tight end, either somebody that's not on the roster

667
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:00,800
Speaker 1: right now or one of the undrafted free agents like

668
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: Jake Breeland Morgen because they want to have two three

669
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: tight ends on the field at the same time and

670
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: they want to be able to use Mark Andrews that way.

671
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: So I think in their mind that solves some of that.

672
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 1: But yeah, they need Miles boy going to be more

673
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: than he was an exceptional blocker and that sort of

674
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:17,560
Speaker 1: gets lost in the shuffle. He was an outstanding blocker

675
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: for this team a year ago. In the run game,

676
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:21,920
Speaker 1: UM he showed some flashes of being able to make

677
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: some plays. They needed him to be more of a

678
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,000
Speaker 1: downfield threat. And then how do they mix in both

679
00:34:26,080 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: du Burnet and Prochet, who have great hands and that

680
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,480
Speaker 1: helps with whatever small accuracy things Lamar still has. How

681
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: do they get those guys involved. I think Duvernet they're

682
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: hoping in particular, can be more of a a weapon

683
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: type that they can line up in a bunch of

684
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: different ways. Not trying to pretend like he's Deebo Samuel,

685
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: but that type of stuff. Lamar Jackson was on a

686
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,800
Speaker 1: podcast load Management podcast shortly after being named the Matten

687
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,160
Speaker 1: cover Athlete. UH pinched me and he said this about

688
00:34:55,200 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: the playoff struggles of the past two years. We should

689
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,279
Speaker 1: have put in a request here. If he's going on

690
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: load Management, we could have had Lamar come on. We

691
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:04,799
Speaker 1: didn't get him, and I'm not thrilled about it. It's

692
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,520
Speaker 1: all right, Lamar said, that's what what that's what's happened

693
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:10,879
Speaker 1: in the playoffs and we end up losing to the team.

694
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 1: People had us favorite over It's any given Sunday. You

695
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,359
Speaker 1: can't underestimate no team, no opponent, opponent, and that's what

696
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: we did. Referring to the Titans. Um interesting comment there

697
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 1: that that perhaps, uh, the Ravens went in overconfident in January.

698
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 1: Uh do you buy into that at all? Or is

699
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: it more just an excuse? Is there a weakness? Is

700
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:33,640
Speaker 1: there an actual weakness on this team that was exposed

701
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,279
Speaker 1: in January could be done again? So look, do I

702
00:35:36,320 --> 00:35:39,560
Speaker 1: buy into it? Maybe? I definitely think it's it's partly

703
00:35:39,560 --> 00:35:41,799
Speaker 1: an excuse. They just did not play that well, and

704
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,719
Speaker 1: I think Lamar part of it. And this is one

705
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:45,719
Speaker 1: of the things we don't like talking about. For as

706
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,600
Speaker 1: good as Lamar was all season, and he was in

707
00:35:48,640 --> 00:35:52,040
Speaker 1: the regular season before that, he hasn't played well, particularly

708
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:53,759
Speaker 1: in the two playoff games. He's put up numbers as

709
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: the games went on because he's had to throw a lot,

710
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: but he didn't play well out of the shooting the

711
00:35:57,600 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: two playoff games. And you know, again, it's the first

712
00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: two playoff games. It is certainly not an indictment. And

713
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: there's a lot of idiots and hot take artists that

714
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,640
Speaker 1: want to say he's a bad playoff quarterback. We have

715
00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: no idea that we're so early on Lamar Jackson's career.

716
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: Are you hearing? No? No, And the rest of the

717
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 1: country and the rest of the country, there's a lot

718
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:18,839
Speaker 1: of those types folk. Yeah, I'm just curious if I'm

719
00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 1: not here. Look, I mean, you can't have the season

720
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,600
Speaker 1: that he had and really have anybody that's a detractor

721
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: of Lamar jacks And um, you know they all want

722
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 1: to name their kids Lamar in this town right now. Um,

723
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: but no, I mean, he's got to play a little

724
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: bit better in the postseason. And the Ravens. The biggest

725
00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,799
Speaker 1: story of what happened in the Titans game is they

726
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: had to really gut Sea calls to go for it

727
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,759
Speaker 1: that backfired on them and it changed the course of

728
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 1: the game. And then one big Derrick Henry run later,

729
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: they were behind the eight ball and and they weren't

730
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 1: able to dig out of it. Um did that happen

731
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 1: because they were overlooking the Titans. It was the same

732
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:50,759
Speaker 1: thing they did all year. They went for it. They

733
00:36:50,760 --> 00:36:54,520
Speaker 1: were aggressive in short yardage, fourthdown situations, no matter where

734
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 1: they were on the field. It backfired in one game.

735
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,120
Speaker 1: The play calling was certainly questionable on those particular plays. Um,

736
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 1: that's the biggest story what happened in the playoffs. The

737
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 1: biggest story is they went ford and forth and short twice.

738
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: They failed both times and it changed the momentum that game.

739
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: I agree with you that you you know, you look

740
00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:15,160
Speaker 1: at this roster, and every roster across the league is

741
00:37:15,160 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 1: going to have a few spots that need some upgrading.

742
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:21,160
Speaker 1: But Um, but you're right, Baltimore, there's not an overt

743
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 1: Achilles heel. I would say that it's interesting to see

744
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:27,800
Speaker 1: what happens if they wind up starting UM two rookie linebackers.

745
00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,840
Speaker 1: I think Patrick Queen, just because I trust the Ravens

746
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:32,720
Speaker 1: and I feel like I've seen this happen a hundred times.

747
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,440
Speaker 1: He is my odds on favor to just um put

748
00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:37,399
Speaker 1: him in there for Defensive Rookie of the Year, because

749
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,400
Speaker 1: that's just what the Ravens seemed to do. But you

750
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 1: have Malik Harrison also pencil and potentially to start beside him.

751
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: That's not the easiest UM scenario for two rookies to

752
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: shine in typically in the NFL, So I wouldn't be

753
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 1: surprised if they try to use my leak a little

754
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:56,120
Speaker 1: more outside than necessarily line him up in day one.

755
00:37:56,160 --> 00:37:58,840
Speaker 1: Inside they still have l J. Ford played really welcome

756
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,640
Speaker 1: them this season ago again I picked up off the

757
00:38:00,680 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 1: scramp heep. And then I don't think any of us

758
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,520
Speaker 1: are gonna be surprised if they try to go five

759
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:08,439
Speaker 1: six defensive backs again this season. UM for a lot

760
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: of snaps, and they did it a year ago. And

761
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: they love the depth they have in the secondary. Again,

762
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,160
Speaker 1: it's and maybe them in the Chargers, right, the two

763
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:18,400
Speaker 1: best secondaries and all of football. Um, they've got the players,

764
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:21,040
Speaker 1: and they've got players. They feel comfortable using his hybrids,

765
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: even on Anthony Levine, who's a veteran who's more of

766
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: a special teams guy. They've been comfortable putting them out

767
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: there in sort of safety and linebacker roles in the past.

768
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:30,839
Speaker 1: They are very comfortable with that. So I would be

769
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 1: surprised up on day one Malik Harrison, that's just sort

770
00:38:34,640 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: of his role. I think they're gonna try to use

771
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: them in different ways and certainly hop get snaps there,

772
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: but I don't know that that's just gonna be the

773
00:38:40,600 --> 00:38:44,000
Speaker 1: case on day one. How is how like what's covering

774
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: the Ravens? Like? Right, now, I feel like it's the

775
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 1: other day I was mentioned there were one sport town

776
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: I kind of forgot about the Orioles. Yeah, I know,

777
00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,520
Speaker 1: you're right at the moment, at the moment, at the moment, yeah,

778
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I just feel like the the energy around

779
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 1: the Ravens when they're like halfway decent is just outrageous

780
00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:03,839
Speaker 1: that it's one of the best football towns in the

781
00:39:03,880 --> 00:39:06,640
Speaker 1: country and that so like right now, coming off of

782
00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 1: the season they have, I just I have to feel

783
00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: like they're about as dominant in their hometown as as

784
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:15,360
Speaker 1: anyone other, like than the Green Bay Packers and a

785
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: couple other teams like that. Like that, they're just like

786
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 1: superstars in a weird way. It's bad for column writing

787
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:23,799
Speaker 1: because you don't have anything to complain about, right, Like,

788
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:28,000
Speaker 1: there's nothing that you can say particularly negative ways. But no,

789
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 1: you're a thousand percent right right, I mean, it is.

790
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:33,960
Speaker 1: It's pandemonium. It is absolutely a city that is completely

791
00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,440
Speaker 1: lost and embraced and this franchise can do no wrong.

792
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:39,399
Speaker 1: Even in this the sometimes they do things wrong. It's

793
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: it's really hard for anybody to buy into that because

794
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 1: it's a franchise that is so often gotten things right

795
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:47,960
Speaker 1: and has so consistently one and competed at a high

796
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 1: level that even when they do something wrong, it's really

797
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: hard to say, hey, this might not be exactly the

798
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 1: right thing to have done, like training camps like Lallapalooza there,

799
00:39:56,120 --> 00:39:57,920
Speaker 1: like I don't know, like that that says a lot

800
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: to me. It's wild, man, It's what I mean we

801
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:01,880
Speaker 1: liv been waiting for. Look, it helps right now the

802
00:40:01,880 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 1: Orioles are not very good. In two thousand and twelve,

803
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,440
Speaker 1: thirteen fourteen, when the Orioles are playing well, you know,

804
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: they mattered and people cared and it was a big deal.

805
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 1: But it didn't still detract from the Ravens. This is

806
00:40:10,840 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: a franchise that truly, Um, you know, it's bigger than life.

807
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 1: It's it's what matters in this city. Um. And Lamar Jackson,

808
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,160
Speaker 1: you know, if they might have wanted a writing campaign

809
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: for mayor, if if he had random time and maybe president,

810
00:40:26,280 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: well at it. And it's that passion Glenn Clark which

811
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 1: makes the decision of art model the right one. Ultimately

812
00:40:35,680 --> 00:40:41,880
Speaker 1: to take the Browns out of it worked out okay

813
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:46,080
Speaker 1: for him. Look, it's a it's a source of subject

814
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:47,719
Speaker 1: even for us to talk about it, right, because we're

815
00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 1: always we in Baltimore wish that the story was told

816
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: of what he did for our city, Um, after a

817
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: wrong that we experienced and what my father went through

818
00:40:58,000 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 1: as a football tuck the we want that side of

819
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 1: the story. Now. We're also sympathetic to Like you know,

820
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:08,359
Speaker 1: I hold no ill will towards any Browns fan. In fact,

821
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 1: I feel terribly sorry for what Browns fans that I

822
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,239
Speaker 1: had to put up with over the course of the

823
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:16,200
Speaker 1: last two decades. Um, it's just that we think of

824
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:17,960
Speaker 1: Art Modell in a way that, like I understand it's

825
00:41:17,960 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 1: gonna be different, we feel very strongly about it. He

826
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,800
Speaker 1: did a wonderful thing for our city and really helped

827
00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: to change the dynamic of the city of Baltimore. And

828
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:26,960
Speaker 1: I don't mean that to be, you know, trite. I'm

829
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,280
Speaker 1: not trying to to pretend like there aren't still crime

830
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,120
Speaker 1: problems in the city of all. You don't have to

831
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 1: like you don't have to. I was just trying. We

832
00:41:35,719 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: always hear one. I mean, on the other side, I

833
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: think it would be that the wound would have healed

834
00:41:42,160 --> 00:41:45,279
Speaker 1: um more comprehensively if the Browns had done anything on

835
00:41:45,320 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 1: their own in the past twenty years to resemble a

836
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: real football team, and that's probably been the bigger costs.

837
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 1: I get annoyed. Most Ravens fans that I run into

838
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 1: our super passionate, knowledgeable and they love their team and

839
00:41:57,560 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 1: they deserved to. It's the occasional twenty five year old

840
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:03,200
Speaker 1: that I run into in a sports bar. It was

841
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 1: a Ravens fan and has no idea that they were

842
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:11,160
Speaker 1: the Browns. This one guy, I forget where it was.

843
00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: But ever since then, the Ravens fans but in Mark

844
00:42:14,280 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 1: and marks the fence and it marks the fence. Year

845
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,400
Speaker 1: old guys are terrible people, Okay, but he's something that happened.

846
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: I was definitely a terrible person. I might not be that.

847
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:30,640
Speaker 1: I was definitely a terrible person, Glenn, because because we're

848
00:42:30,760 --> 00:42:33,040
Speaker 1: we're good to our guests, and because I know this

849
00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:36,000
Speaker 1: would mean a lot to Greg Erica. Can you put

850
00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 1: sixty seconds on the clock so Greg and Glenn can

851
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 1: talk tennis. Get on the clock and Mark, let's hit

852
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:46,320
Speaker 1: the mute and just let them enjoy themselves. We should

853
00:42:46,320 --> 00:42:48,560
Speaker 1: talk that the US Open thing. They just announced that

854
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: they're actually playing it this year. Djokovic says he might

855
00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,960
Speaker 1: not even come over for playing and stop he's playing.

856
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 1: He's trying to use his leverage in order to give

857
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: me a friction here. We don't want to hear it

858
00:43:00,480 --> 00:43:03,800
Speaker 1: like wine, like guys who make like forty million dollars

859
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,200
Speaker 1: a year complaining that they don't like they don't need Joker. Okay,

860
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: you may be right about that. They need Joka, especially

861
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,440
Speaker 1: without Also can you be both innutritionist and a trainer

862
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,680
Speaker 1: at the same time. I couldn't live that way? Who

863
00:43:17,719 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 1: can move that way? And I think there's like fifteen

864
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:28,879
Speaker 1: seconds talk about Venus Williams. That's one of the great athletes.

865
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: Is today her birthdays? That right? It's amazing. I love

866
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 1: Vinus Williams, not as much as you obvious there was

867
00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 1: no one possibly good, um, but the way that changed

868
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:44,080
Speaker 1: and it's help never top you're your older sister comes

869
00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:45,959
Speaker 1: along and is the greatest ever. It's a tough spot.

870
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:52,400
Speaker 1: People forget that. Get the chatter. Thank you, Thank you. Glenn.

871
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,319
Speaker 1: You came and you dominated. You talked high level about

872
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 1: two sports and I'll count the Orioles chatter in there too,

873
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:01,760
Speaker 1: so three sports. Uh. Follow them at Glenn Clark Radio

Speaker 1: all right, Thanks Glenn, all right, that was great. Glenn

883
00:44:30,920 --> 00:44:33,440
Speaker 1: Clark at Glenn Clark Radio. Make sure you give him

884
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: a follow. Greg, you have done such great work Yeoman's

885
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:45,279
Speaker 1: work on the Old Objected Starters series And uh, is

886
00:44:45,280 --> 00:44:47,000
Speaker 1: there anything that we didn't really touch on that you

887
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,600
Speaker 1: noticed in your write ups? Well, I think that the

888
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 1: signing of Derek Wolf and in Claius Campbell was just

889
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,960
Speaker 1: massive in terms of where this team goes. So Glenn

890
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 1: kind of alluded to it that they chose not to

891
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,160
Speaker 1: really get a premier pass rusher. It's just Matthew Judon,

892
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:06,279
Speaker 1: who's a franchise to guy. I remember going to camp

893
00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: last year that was one of the big questions was

894
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,120
Speaker 1: where are they going to get a pass rush from

895
00:45:10,120 --> 00:45:12,319
Speaker 1: and on paper it didn't look very good. And in

896
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 1: the end, if you look at the numbers in terms of,

897
00:45:14,400 --> 00:45:17,040
Speaker 1: you know, the pressure that they created, they had a ton.

898
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes you get pressure by having a good secondary and

899
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:23,520
Speaker 1: then you have Wink Martindale dialing up all these crazy pressures.

900
00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:26,160
Speaker 1: I think no one blitzed more than than they do.

901
00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: I just thinking of that like game against the Jets,

902
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,960
Speaker 1: but there were many more. We're just the blitzes are

903
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: so creative. Now you have that, plus you have Klais

904
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 1: Campbell who's still playing at a high level. And I

905
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 1: say what, I think Derek Wolfe could end up being

906
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 1: um one of the more underrated signings because I thought

907
00:45:41,239 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 1: he played pretty well when he was healthy. He's had

908
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:44,840
Speaker 1: a lot of injuries over the last few years, so

909
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,560
Speaker 1: it's a boomer bus signing. But those two guys, they

910
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:50,880
Speaker 1: tend to find really good over thirty guys, and that

911
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:53,719
Speaker 1: could be wolf and Campbell, and their defense really does

912
00:45:53,800 --> 00:45:55,800
Speaker 1: have some room to improve. Like they were just okay

913
00:45:55,880 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: last year, they could be a lot better. Behind me,

914
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 1: by the way, if you guys have been wondering, this

915
00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 1: is the Gatesville Courthouse behind you for the audio lists.

916
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: Very nice so now you're in the office. Yeah, not

917
00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:15,120
Speaker 1: in the court that's right down the street. And it's

918
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,920
Speaker 1: a beautiful old building. And Gatesville is also known as

919
00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:23,879
Speaker 1: the spur Capital of Texas. And yeah, well, I asked

920
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:25,920
Speaker 1: my mother in law. It's like, you know, let's think

921
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:27,920
Speaker 1: bigger than that, because it's on the big water tower,

922
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: spur Capitol of Texas. If you have the spur Capitol

923
00:46:31,160 --> 00:46:33,840
Speaker 1: of Texas, you have to assume you're the spur Capitol

924
00:46:33,840 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 1: of the United States. And if you have the spur

925
00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:37,799
Speaker 1: Capitol of the United States, you have to assume they're

926
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,680
Speaker 1: the spur Capitol of the damn world. Well, I I agree.

927
00:46:41,680 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 1: I mean you might get you might get a few.

928
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: Uh you know, Dan, you're a cowboy, as you mentioned,

929
00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: so you would understand that. But I mean some guys

930
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: from New Mexico and Arizona probably would contend that they

931
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 1: should be in the in the mix. But you're right,

932
00:46:55,880 --> 00:46:59,960
Speaker 1: you know, their spurs. But if you're already saying yeah

933
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,120
Speaker 1: that you run sexis on that front, then then you

934
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: you have to go world. And I think Dan, you're

935
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: what you're bringing overall is a larger perspective to this

936
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:13,080
Speaker 1: town about how media can be um used to and

937
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 1: well enlightened and help a town like that town. So

938
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: um uh, it really comes back to you doing a

939
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: quality job during your visit. And I'm not even joking

940
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: about this. If I do get the interview, I'm going

941
00:47:23,960 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: to bring up the Spur thing, yase. I think they could.

942
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: I think in terms of branding, that could be big.

943
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:32,399
Speaker 1: You're a you're an idea man. You're an idea man,

944
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: and you know, I think they're going to recognize that

945
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: the minute they get two inches into this column the reader.

946
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,840
Speaker 1: So sometimes you know, something you could drop a little

947
00:47:39,040 --> 00:47:43,359
Speaker 1: some bread comes about potential political office. Maybe maybe you're

948
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,719
Speaker 1: the mayor that they need, you know, I mean, this

949
00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,320
Speaker 1: could be your first platform that that not just uh

950
00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 1: in Texas, but the world. The Spur capital that could

951
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,680
Speaker 1: be kind of your main platform. Sometimes you need an outsider.

952
00:47:54,719 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 1: It's like, you know, Liz Warren swoops into a Massachusetts

953
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: just takes over. You know, she's an oaken just of this, Greg,

954
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: Liz Warren. Not that you're stating that, but Liz Warren

955
00:48:04,440 --> 00:48:07,040
Speaker 1: would not do well around these parks. But I'm saying,

956
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:11,320
Speaker 1: and I would align closer to Liz Warren than who

957
00:48:11,440 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 1: is you know the person that gets supported around these

958
00:48:14,239 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 1: I'm just saying she's an Oklahoma woman, but you wouldn't

959
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: know it. She just comes into Massachusetts steps right now,

960
00:48:20,360 --> 00:48:28,280
Speaker 1: carpet baggers. All right, good stuff, good show, the Ravens,

961
00:48:29,520 --> 00:48:32,719
Speaker 1: super Bowl or bust. That's it. You're in a tough

962
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: situation there. That's not an easy world to live in

963
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,360
Speaker 1: because the only one team gets the hoist of Lombardi.

964
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: And if you don't do it, Harbaugh and Lamar are

965
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 1: going to really be feeling the heat a year from now.

966
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:47,319
Speaker 1: That's just the way it works. You're right, And being

967
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:50,760
Speaker 1: like the number one seed that loses early in the playoffs,

968
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: you're absolutely right because you kind of get it on

969
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,280
Speaker 1: both ends. You wait, you kind of wasted last season

970
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:58,160
Speaker 1: and then you come into this one with like more

971
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:02,640
Speaker 1: expectations than possible. You're the only thing. I hate schedules,

972
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,440
Speaker 1: but we're getting close to Their schedule is markedly less

973
00:49:06,719 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: thorny than it was a year ago. You go from

974
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: the NFC West to the NFC East, and there are

975
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,319
Speaker 1: a million examples in the NFL of a team that

976
00:49:13,360 --> 00:49:17,400
Speaker 1: went fourteen and two, um collapsed uh in the playoffs

977
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 1: and came back with a lesser regular season record and

978
00:49:20,080 --> 00:49:21,440
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl. I can think of a Bill

979
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:24,480
Speaker 1: Walsh Niners team that did that from eight to when

980
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:27,640
Speaker 1: he left the team eight eight, and then the year

981
00:49:27,719 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: later they were even more dominant. I mean, the regular

982
00:49:30,040 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 1: season record concerns me a lot less than other stuff.

983
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:34,720
Speaker 1: I think they were the best team I've ever seen

984
00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:37,320
Speaker 1: other than the oh seven Patriots in the regular season,

985
00:49:37,480 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: at least the last twenty year. I'm counting the last

986
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:43,440
Speaker 1: twenty years, and so it's sort of it's sort of,

987
00:49:43,840 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just not overlooked. But because Lamar is

988
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,880
Speaker 1: so young, just like, how devastating that is to have

989
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:50,879
Speaker 1: that good of a team and to go out right away.

990
00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:52,880
Speaker 1: The only thing I'd say about them is when and

991
00:49:52,880 --> 00:49:55,920
Speaker 1: I can understand why they want to pad the backfield

992
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:59,319
Speaker 1: when they lost Ingram when he wasn't really healthy after

993
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:01,600
Speaker 1: that injury, and Mark Andrews got hurt a little bit.

994
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,440
Speaker 1: They were not the same offense, so they were healthy

995
00:50:04,480 --> 00:50:07,080
Speaker 1: otherwise the entire time. They come into l A and

996
00:50:07,120 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: they just dropped a megaton bomb on the Rams, but

997
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 1: luck can you know carrying it over. We require everyone

998
00:50:12,840 --> 00:50:15,640
Speaker 1: to stay um out of harm's way. Which is uh

999
00:50:15,719 --> 00:50:17,960
Speaker 1: if he for any NFL so compelling, we were not

1000
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 1: even that, we weren't even done talking about him, that's

1001
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:24,680
Speaker 1: how compelling. They're unbelievable. All right, Uh, we'll be back

1002
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:29,799
Speaker 1: on Monday with another show. Like I said, um, we

1003
00:50:29,960 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: do not have a network show this week. It is

1004
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,839
Speaker 1: Juneteenth and it's uh is it officially a national holiday? Now?

1005
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 1: If it's not, it's getting there and some states have it.

1006
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,799
Speaker 1: Many of the teams I recognize you in the NFL did,

1007
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:46,920
Speaker 1: but no, not nationally, and we are employees of the NFL,

1008
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:50,120
Speaker 1: so we are recognizing on our podcast, so we you

1009
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 1: are and our broadcast show. So you won't see us

1010
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:54,080
Speaker 1: on Friday and the network, but we'll be back with

1011
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: another uh pot on Monday, so make sure you tune

1012
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,320
Speaker 1: in for that. Also have an astle do this in

1013
00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 1: a while. But how about leave some reviews and some

1014
00:51:04,080 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 1: five star ratings over on iTunes and I think next

1015
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,399
Speaker 1: week Mark, it's been a while, Ricky, it's been a while.

1016
00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,960
Speaker 1: Let's check in on the iTunes reviews and see what

1017
00:51:13,000 --> 00:51:16,040
Speaker 1: people have to say about our fair show. And speaking

1018
00:51:16,160 --> 00:51:19,600
Speaker 1: of checking in with Ricky, did you do the digging

1019
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: that I asked of you about the Guinness Book of

1020
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:25,319
Speaker 1: World Records and has a sports podcast ever recorded in

1021
00:51:25,480 --> 00:51:29,759
Speaker 1: three time zones? Before I did, I went to the

1022
00:51:29,760 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 1: Guinness World Book of Records and Dan Greg you can

1023
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:34,879
Speaker 1: shake your head at me and think that I'm lying,

1024
00:51:34,880 --> 00:51:37,040
Speaker 1: But Dan didn't I tell you on Monday after the

1025
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 1: show that I went on their website and there is

1026
00:51:38,920 --> 00:51:42,800
Speaker 1: a search function and I searched sports, I searched podcasts,

1027
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:46,799
Speaker 1: I search time zones with radio. Nothing has come up

1028
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:48,799
Speaker 1: so far. We just been made a face. That was

1029
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,200
Speaker 1: why I was worried. So what what did it say

1030
00:51:51,320 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: like in the digital copy that you took out of

1031
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:58,280
Speaker 1: the library. In the digital Oh, I didn't like read

1032
00:51:58,360 --> 00:52:01,320
Speaker 1: all the Guinness Record Books. I went to their website.

1033
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:04,040
Speaker 1: You didn't check the act But what's the alright, Ricky,

1034
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,439
Speaker 1: what's the really available? I mean you could just get

1035
00:52:06,480 --> 00:52:10,919
Speaker 1: it digitally, but I looked their database and it's not there.

1036
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:13,439
Speaker 1: But why would I read all of the Guinness World

1037
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,879
Speaker 1: Record Books? Know what? What's the next action step here?

1038
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:20,320
Speaker 1: Because to get it? Uh, I would imagine a bulk

1039
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: of the records in that book and it's It's not

1040
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,840
Speaker 1: like somebody looked it up and said I'm going to

1041
00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,959
Speaker 1: break this record. Some are set and no one even

1042
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,160
Speaker 1: thought it to be a record until it happened, and

1043
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 1: I was, I think records, Well, why don't you go

1044
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:34,440
Speaker 1: what if you were to go to Guinness? Um, And

1045
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to put more work on your plate

1046
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:39,360
Speaker 1: Erica UM, they're in New Hampshire, but you know, to

1047
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 1: maybe reach out to Guinness and suggest this is a

1048
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,240
Speaker 1: title that should exist at this point. And by the way,

1049
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: podcast Bozos would let me speak before you cut me

1050
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:51,920
Speaker 1: off again. There was a contact us on the page

1051
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: and I did send an email and your little dig

1052
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,319
Speaker 1: about all this work I'm doing in New Hampshire, Mark,

1053
00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,239
Speaker 1: what's uncalled for? I insane? I don't want to add

1054
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 1: more work, like right, well you hard work and then

1055
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:06,120
Speaker 1: in New Hampshire. Just got to add that because I

1056
00:53:06,400 --> 00:53:09,239
Speaker 1: already emailed Guinness World Record Books, Greg, and why don't

1057
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 1: you go read a digital library or something. It's not

1058
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,239
Speaker 1: going okay, I would say, because I don't want to

1059
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: get you angry and I don't want to want to

1060
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:22,040
Speaker 1: make this an uncomfortable situation. But if you don't hear

1061
00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 1: back via email and the contact this page, because very

1062
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:29,719
Speaker 1: rarely do people get positive results. This might be a

1063
00:53:29,760 --> 00:53:33,680
Speaker 1: pick up the phone situation seems appropriate. Yeah, I'm sure

1064
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,799
Speaker 1: you know. Guinness is fully you know, staff during a pandemic,

1065
