35

Speaker 1: longest thread. So thank you so much, Tracy.

36
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: No full, it's good practice.

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: It no, it's especially I was telling you before we

38
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: got on air. I was the copywriter for the Buccaneers

39
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: for a couple of years before I started covering the team.

40
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: So I had to do all of the radio I

41
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: had to write all the radio reads. I had to

42
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: write all of this stuff. And it's just like it

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: burned in my brain, like all right, no more than

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds, no more than this, and you know it's

45
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: sixty words or whatever it is, So I appreciate you

46
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: doing that. But yes, as you mentioned, Tracy, you're fresh

47
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: off of flight preseason finale for the Niners and Raiders.

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: At least it was a short flight. There are a

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: few games left over. There is a stoppage in the

50
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: Lions Steelers game. It looks like someone got hurt. I

51
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: hope everything's okay. There's a couple more games left today,

52
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: but all in all, the bulk of the preseason is

53
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,400
Speaker 1: behind us. But now that that's the case, we had

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: a historic quarterback draft this year. Six qbs taken in

55
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: the top twelve, just an outrageous number, some surprises along

56
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: the way. Three of them we know for sure are

57
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: now going to start Week one, and that is Caleb Williams,

58
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels, and Bo Nicks. I want to talk about

59
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: their preseason performance and what the confidence is with each

60
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: one individually, because I think there's varying pressures on each

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: of them, and I want to start, obviously with I

62
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: think the guy who has the most pressure on him,

63
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: which is Kayla Williams, taken first overall, he is already

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: nicknamed the Prince who was promised in Chicago. No pressure,

65
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: No pressure. I literally that was actually the title of

66
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 1: my story up in Fox sports dot Com, just about

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: evaluating and the things I found encouraging throughout his preseason performance.

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: And this city has been so starved for quarterback play.

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: They've never had a four thousand yard passer, never had

70
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: a quarterback throw for thirty touchdowns. These are the things

71
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: that Kayler Williams is coming into and I think he's

72
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: very uniquely positioned coming from La where he was at USC,

73
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: he was in the limelight. He's part of the Nil generation.

74
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: He's learned how to manage his money, manage his business,

75
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: made something like twenty one million dollars in college. I

76
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: had so many reasons to be encouraged by him, though

77
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: it was a small sample size, though it's not live bullets,

78
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: it's the preseason. I love the way that he seems

79
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: to be adjusting to Shane Waldron's scheme more than that

80
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 1: their offensive coordinator. I love the way that the scheme

81
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: is adjusting to Caleb Williams skill set, which I think

82
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: is very important and something we saw the last two

83
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: years in Chicago with Justin fields and Luke Getzi they

84
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 1: were it was like a square peg in a round hole,

85
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: like it was just not fitting. And you can already

86
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: see the makings of Waldron's system benefiting Caleb Williams, allowing

87
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,359
Speaker 1: him to do the fun off script things, but also

88
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: keeping him in rhythm and doing some fun things protection wise,

89
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: with multiple tight ends out there, multiple running backs. Even

90
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: I saw a couple of full back plays in there.

91
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: Make fullbacks great again, y'all.

92
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: Oh, Kyle, you check somewhere is cheering right, like the

93
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,160
Speaker 4: Niners can't have all the fun when it comes to fullbacks.

94
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 1: So I want to get your take on it, because

95
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 1: obviously I'm really close to it. I grew up in Chicago,

96
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: Like Bears fans are the ones that are overwhelmingly, in

97
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: my mention, from a national perspective. I still think though,

98
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: that there are a lot of eyes on Caleb Williams.

99
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,039
Speaker 3: Oh one hundred percent, because I I think everybody looks

100
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: at him as the guy that really could be the

101
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 3: guy for the Bears, and the Bears have not had

102
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: that in so long. I mean, I think Jake Cutler

103
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: was the last person that they thought might be.

104
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 1: Kind and never make those benchmarks those threshold.

105
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, he never did, and I think Caleb Williams all

106
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: eyes are on him.

107
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: I have to say his performance in the preseason gave.

108
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: Me a lot of confidence just as a football fan

109
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 3: and writer, and it was fun to watch him, and

110
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: that's I think what the Bears have been missing obviously

111
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,279
Speaker 3: from my years. Its winning is fun, Losing is not fun,

112
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 3: So that is definitely part of it.

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: But he's breaking.

114
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: Breaking news and analysis, but he's fun to watch and

115
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 3: he's developing a chemistry with roaming Doone's. I mean, there

116
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 3: are reasons for Bears fans to actually be excited for

117
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: the first time in a long time. And you brought

118
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 3: something up that I think is really important, not just

119
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: him adjusting to the scheme, but the scheme adjusting to him.

120
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 3: And I think that's one of the most important things

121
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 3: with a quarterback, and I think it's one of the

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 3: things that can really hurt a team because if you

123
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,359
Speaker 3: draft a person and he's not what your scheme is

124
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: and you can't adjust, he will not succeed. It doesn't

125
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 3: matter how good a quarterback he is. So I think

126
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 3: that that has been very encouraging. I'm excited. I'm excited

127
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: to watch him every week, and I I watch preseason

128
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: football when I have to for my job, but I

129
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: actually watched some Calbilians for fun.

130
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: I thought he was great, and in the way that

131
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: he's fun, I think it's what's so important is the

132
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: way that he has fun within this game or goes

133
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: off script. Because if you watch him scramble, he keeps

134
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: his eyes up. He's looking for additional throwing lanes to

135
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,040
Speaker 1: make a play with his arm, not just tucking and

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: running and trying to make the play with his legs,

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: though he can do that. His first touchdown as a

138
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Bear was a rushing touchdown that he pulled out of

139
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 1: a hat like a magician. But this is where it

140
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: deviates for me from the first overall pick and the

141
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,960
Speaker 1: second overall pick because you look at Jayden Daniels and

142
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 1: as talented as he was at LSU, I mean, what

143
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels did at LSU cannot be understated or overstated,

144
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: I should say, because that defense was horrible. It was

145
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: absolutely a trouch. Jayde Daniels had to go out there

146
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,120
Speaker 1: and score forty to forty five points every single game,

147
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes he would score thirty five to forty points

148
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: and they'd still lose the game, like this was an

149
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: absolutely dismal defense. At LSU, Jade Daniels overcame it and

150
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 1: then patted his stats on top of that. But now

151
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: coming into the league, he's not the biggest guy and

152
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: his play style is very physical. Even at LSU, there

153
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: were times where I had to hold my breath watching him,

154
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: being like, I don't like you're taking those hits. And

155
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: even in the last preseason game, his last preseason game,

156
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: he scrambled, took off, took tackles like got tackled, and

157
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: you could see the coaches on the sideline reaming him out,

158
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: saying you can't do that.

159
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: They can't afford that.

160
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: He's not Like I said, his frame is slight, and

161
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: I just worry that he is the type of scrambler

162
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: where he does tuck and run and make those additional

163
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: plays with his legs while not really keeping his eye.

164
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I don't know what have you seen from him.

165
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: I would agree with that.

166
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: But the thing that I think with Jadan Daniels that

167
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: I would be the most I think concerned is probably

168
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 3: a dramatic word, but that'd be most concerned about it.

169
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 3: You mentioned with Kayla Williams he's kind of uniquely positioned

170
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 3: to handle the pressure because where he went to college,

171
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 3: this city he was in. Jaden Daniels is coming into

172
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 3: an organization that's not just rebuilding a team, it's rebuilding

173
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: the organization.

174
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, the culture, everything.

175
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: Is being changed, and so I think for a lot

176
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 3: of these guys, there is a pressure to do that,

177
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 3: and that's a lot to put on someone and I

178
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 3: think that is something they're going to have to be

179
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,319
Speaker 3: really careful with because sometimes when that happens. I think

180
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: that's why he can sometimes take off and run and

181
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 3: take these tackles that he shouldn't because he's like, well,

182
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 3: I could do it.

183
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: But he's going to have to think longevity, right.

184
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 3: It can't just be about because they're not the com matters,

185
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 3: are not going to Super Bowl this year, So he

186
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 3: has to think about the longevity of his career, the

187
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,720
Speaker 3: longevity of the organization. But I think that's a place

188
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 3: where that's a tough thing because it in a lot

189
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,559
Speaker 3: of ways Kayleb Williams has is too, but it's different.

190
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: But a lot of ways it's like, here are the

191
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 2: keys to the organization.

192
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: Good luck, because we're rebuilding and you're the face have

193
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 3: a great game.

194
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: I have a great game, so it's cut.

195
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 3: That to me is kind of one of the other

196
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 3: concerns I would have, which you, yeah.

197
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: And I mean the hits are different in Yeah, the

198
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 1: guys coming after you or bigger, they're stronger, they're faster,

199
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: defenses are more sophisticated. They're gonna trick you a lot

200
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 1: easier like this is. But I agree that I think

201
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: that at least from an organizational standpoint, while there's a

202
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: lot of change over there, because of that changeover, there's

203
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 1: not a pressing or pressure to win right now because

204
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: you also share a division with the Eagles and you

205
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 1: have to think that they're gonna win. And then the

206
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:38,680
Speaker 1: Cowboys too for the regular season. They're fantastic, We know that.

207
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that there's a ton of pressure on

208
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: them to get it right this year. But it's gonna

209
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 1: have to You're gonna have to lay a foundation there,

210
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: and that's where I think Jayden Daniels is going to,

211
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: like you said, have to think longevity, and then you

212
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 1: think about longevity and how that wasn't the case in Denver.

213
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,079
Speaker 2: Oh God, how to hot mess that was?

214
00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 4: Okay?

215
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I think that there is I don't think there's as

216
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: much pressure on boon Nicks as there is on Sean Payton.

217
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: That's fair because I think a lot of this pressure

218
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: is kind of deflected onto pay and rightfully so, because

219
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: at this point, the Denver Broncos are paying Russell Wilson

220
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,599
Speaker 1: fifty three million dollars to not play for them. I

221
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 1: would really love to get that paycheck.

222
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: Guys.

223
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: You know what, I also don't play for the Broncos.

224
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: You don't give me. You can't give me like.

225
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 2: Five million dollars not playing for them.

226
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: With that, But this was at the direction of Sean Payton.

227
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: Get rid of Russell Wilson. He's not my guy. I

228
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 1: can't do anything with him. Let him leave. On top

229
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: of that, he then takes a guy in bow Nix,

230
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: who many thought was more of a Day two pick,

231
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: and he's played a lot of football in college. So

232
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where like, is he kind

233
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: of set in some of his habits? Are you going

234
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: to be able to mold him and change him more

235
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: or like less so than some of these other guys

236
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: who maybe didn't have as much Like a JJ McCarthy

237
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: at Michigan. I know you're a guy as he went

238
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: to Michigan. Guys, She'll probably.

239
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,800
Speaker 2: Say, if they were listening last week, they know it

240
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 2: was a lot of devastations.

241
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it Michigan Wolverine's stand up.

242
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: But that's the thing is he's such a developed JJ

243
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: McCarthy is such a developmental prospect, which is why I

244
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: loved going him going to Minnesota because of the coaching

245
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: staff that's in place and the guys that can kind

246
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: of develop him. And the injury just sucks. But bo Nix,

247
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,280
Speaker 1: on the other hand, has had plenty of chances to

248
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: play football and we kind of know what to expect

249
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 1: from him. Is that going to translate into Sean Payton's system.

250
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: I feel like Sean Payton's trying to mold him a

251
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: lah Drew Brees who did come to Sean Payton after

252
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: like he didn't come to him right away in a league.

253
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: So I think that Sean Payton, this all has to

254
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 1: go well for Sean Payton to retain any sort of

255
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: respect in Denver, And maybe this affects his legacy in

256
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: general because you're talking about costing an organization and handicapping

257
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: an organization because of this dead money on top of

258
00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: taking a pick that the league was surprised by that

259
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: went twelfth. Overall, this has to go right.

260
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 3: It has to go right. And I agree with you

261
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: that the pressure is on Sean Payton. I mean, he

262
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: was the coaching darling of that cycle. Everybody wanted Sean Payton,

263
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 3: so and he's already been comparing him to Drew Brees

264
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 3: at times. When Yeah, he does that, I kind of

265
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: cringe a little bit because I like, it's almost not fair.

266
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 3: But I have a counterpoint, maybe another thought in terms

267
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 3: of him playing so much football in college that might

268
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,439
Speaker 3: actually position him to be able to play well in

269
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 3: the NFL. And that's the that's kind of the it's

270
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,840
Speaker 3: he didn't play as much, but still with the Brock

271
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 3: Party thing, like, if you play a lot of football

272
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: in college, you're ready to go. You come to a

273
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 3: guy like Sean Payton, who now Sean Payton, like you

274
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 3: said before, with the Bears, he's he might have to

275
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 3: mold him, and he might have to mold like they're

276
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 3: gonna have differ given me. But I think that having

277
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 3: played a lot of football in college may actually end

278
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: up being a benefit for Bonnicks as opposed to a negative.

279
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we're gonna We're gonna find out.

280

00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 1: he did, coming into the tunnel. It's up, Tracy. Hi,

313
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 1: Brandon walks away, So tell me, Tracy, what are the vibes?

314
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Ayuk is with the team in Vegas for a

315
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: preseason game that he was never going to play in,

316
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: even if he had signed a deal. What's up.

317
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: Well, it's interesting because other than the game in Nashville,

318
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 3: he's been with the team the whole time, right, so

319
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 3: he's a practice He was doing some conditioning work. On

320
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: the site last week, he's watching practice, he's chatting with

321
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 3: d he walked in with Debo. So the vibes were fine,

322
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 3: and Kyle Shanahan was asked after the game, is there

323
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 3: any kind of distraction of having him here?

324
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 2: And no, I still think.

325
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: The Holden generally is not a distraction, But I think

326
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: it's a daily reminder and he's not there yet. But

327
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 3: I do think it's promising. He went, he came with

328
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 3: the team. I don't know that they like made him.

329
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: There were things about that today. I don't think it's that.

330
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: I think it's promising. I think he wants to be there.

331
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 3: They just have to figure it out. It's just the

332
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 3: vibes are a little bizarre because it feels like he

333
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 3: wants to be there, but they can't seem to figure

334
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 3: it out. But there's still the possibility of a trade,

335
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 3: and it's just like just let's do it. Like from

336
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:46,360
Speaker 3: my perspective, I'm like one way or the other. And

337
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 3: I really like ba He is real good for my

338
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: social media content, So like, not to make this about me,

339
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:52,560
Speaker 3: but I really want him to say but it like,

340
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 3: let's do this exactly. Sorry, guys, check out Niners unplugged. Sorry,

341
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 3: but they're just let's do this, try to keep them.

342
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 3: My sense though, and I think I've been saying this

343
00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 3: to you and Alex every time you've had me on.

344
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: My sense is he is going to say, I.

345
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: Want to say you have You've been very steadfast in that.

346
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,280
Speaker 1: I think there was a little bit of doubt when

347
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 1: the like the smoke for the Steelers was really coming

348
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,880
Speaker 1: out strong. But what I don't really understand, and it

349
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 1: was actually James Jones unspeak on FS one that said this,

350
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: and I thought it was hysterical. He's like, this is

351
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: how you know that agents aren't moms and dads, Because

352
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,760
Speaker 1: if I'm his mom, if I'm his dad, I'd being like,

353
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: what do you want? Do you want the money? Because

354
00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: there are reports out there that he has was offered

355
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: by other teams to be the second highest paid wide

356
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: receiver in the league. But no, he doesn't want to

357
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: go to one of those teams because those teams aren't

358
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: the good teams. Right. But then all right, the Niners

359
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: are like, we'll give you like twenty eight twenty nine million,

360
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: and he's like, no, that's not enough. I want that

361
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars. It's like, you can't have both. You

362
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: have to make some decisions. What do you want? Do

363
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: you want to be on a good team, or do

364
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: you want the most money you can get? Those things

365
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:59,760
Speaker 1: are not they're mutually exclusive. They're not. You can't get all.

366
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: He can't have it all, my dude.

367
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: You can't have it all.

368
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 3: But I I don't know if he's kind of enjoying this,

369
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 3: Like I don't know if this is fun for him,

370
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 3: because we saw him do some stuff on social media.

371
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 3: We saw him on a podcast saying like flat out

372
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: saying this is fun, and maybe he doesn't entirely know

373
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 3: what he wants. I think he wants to have them both,

374
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 3: and I think he feels like and I don't think

375
00:17:21,080 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: he's wrong that they're gonna get to a point where

376
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,840
Speaker 3: they just say, fine, here's the third because when you

377
00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 3: look at what's going on in their wide receiving core

378
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: right now, they have they're deep.

379
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 2: But if Ricky Piersol, who's.

380
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,560
Speaker 3: Their first round pick, who has been injured basically since

381
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 3: he got there, Yes, he was heard in Ricky minnick

382
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 3: a mini camp.

383
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 2: He came to camp with a hamstring injury that he.

384
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 3: Reaggravated his shoulder injury, so he's not on the field,

385
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 3: so you kind of need Brandon, and they.

386
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 2: Don't have a true wide receiver one.

387
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,800
Speaker 3: And I think they need Brandon you whether or not

388
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:55,679
Speaker 3: Ricky Pearsol was on the field, but I don't think

389
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: one really nestily had to do with the other this year.

390
00:17:58,160 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 3: But I think they're gonna get to a point where

391
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 3: it's like, okay, fine, he's also and I know I've

392
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 3: said this before too, he is Brock's guy. Yeah, he's

393
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 3: brock Pretty's favorite receiver. And if you have a young

394
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: quarterback who himself is going into a contract year, you

395
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,040
Speaker 3: can't take away as best receiver. So I just feel

396
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,680
Speaker 3: like they're gonna get to a point, maybe alla Nick

397
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 3: Fosa last year, right before the season started, where they

398
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,120
Speaker 3: just say, okay, fine, here's the thirty at least sign

399
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 3: your contract.

400
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: If he were to take twenty nine million, you're still

401
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,880
Speaker 1: the fifth highest paid wide receiver in the league. Also, like,

402
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: especially when he's not charged with the same loads that

403
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:34,920
Speaker 1: the rest of like wide receiver ones are, because he's

404
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: got DEBO, because he's got CMC, because you've got George

405
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: Kittle on that team, Like you're not having to put

406
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: in as much work and carry the offense as much

407
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: if you're a wide receiver one in the Niners system

408
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: under Sanahan, because there are all these other pieces, and

409
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 1: yet you would still be the fifth highest payers.

410
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 7: I don't know.

411
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: But here's the other thing, And this is one thing

412
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: I really wanted to talk about with you, because I

413
00:18:56,840 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: feel like no one is talking enough about the fact

414
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 1: that our PU, a guy that is more important to

415
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 1: the Niners. R Williams, is not with them.

416
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: He's not.

417
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 1: He's holding out out.

418
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:09,560
Speaker 2: He is holding out out.

419
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: That is what I think they're They're definitely going to

420
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 3: figure out because they have to. He he is the

421
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:18,439
Speaker 3: best left tackle football the line is. I mean, if

422
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 3: you were to get hurt, the season's done. In my opinion,

423
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 3: we saw it last year. He got hurt and he

424
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 3: was They lost the three games he was out, So

425
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 3: it's gonna get done. But no, I think people aren't

426
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 3: talking about it as much because he's holding out whereas

427
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,199
Speaker 3: Brandon's holding in so you're seeing him every day. But

428
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,919
Speaker 3: I would agree it's more important, like we've seen it

429
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,960
Speaker 3: in the preseason. Without Trent Williams are going back to

430
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: brock party. This is your guy. You need to protect him,

431
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,680
Speaker 3: So I would say it's much more important that one.

432
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 3: I do think they're for sure going to get done

433
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:54,240
Speaker 3: sooner rather than I think probably this is like total conjecture.

434
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: I just think he's, you know, later in his career,

435
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 3: he's not the most he's not the highest paid left

436
00:19:58,200 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 3: tackle now, so they have to figure out that money.

437
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 3: I don't I think that one as I think to

438
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,399
Speaker 3: do the other. I don't think it's like, oh, they

439
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 3: have to figure out Brandon before they can figure out Trent.

440
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 2: They just got to figure out the money and his age.

441
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 3: How much guaranteed money are you giving a left tackle

442
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 3: that's thirty six way in the season, And I think

443
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 3: that's probably a little bit of what they have to figure.

444
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 1: Do you think that he wants a multi year deal

445
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: where as the Niners are like, I don't know, we'll

446
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 1: make you the highest paid left tackle for one year.

447
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,160
Speaker 1: Like do kind of a Jason Kelce type thing where

448
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: the last couple of years of Jason Kelce's career, the

449
00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: Eagles were just signing him to like new one year

450
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,760
Speaker 1: contracts and making him the highest paid but only committing

451
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,560
Speaker 1: to you know, one year, given his age, Do you

452
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: think like Trent would want to take that or is

453
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 1: he looking for more?

454
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 2: I think again, this is total.

455
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800
Speaker 3: I would think he's looking more for a multi year

456
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: deal because he's been pretty open about the fact that

457
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: he wants to play until someone says to him, you

458
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:45,760
Speaker 3: can't play anymore.

459
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's going whitworth. He's like I got it.

460
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 3: He's like, I still got it, and I'm going to

461
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 3: be here for well. So I think that's probably what

462
00:20:51,920 --> 00:20:54,040
Speaker 3: and he does. He one hundred percent does and he's

463
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,160
Speaker 3: earned that and he deserves that. So I imagine it's

464
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 3: just kind of figuring out the intricacies to all that

465
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: these contract things are not so easy.

466
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 1: I wonder if he also wanted to wait and until

467
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 1: Tristan Worf's got his deal with the Buccaneers, because that

468
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: made Tristan Worf's the highest paid left tackle, and like

469
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: you kind of knew that Tampa Bay was going to

470
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,399
Speaker 1: have to do that, especially after you asked Tristan Worfs

471
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,400
Speaker 1: to switch from right to left and then he still

472
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,959
Speaker 1: performed at an all pro level, which is absolutely insane.

473
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 1: I cannot truss to you guys enough. It is so

474
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,439
Speaker 1: hard to switch sides as an offensive lineman because now

475
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,399
Speaker 1: your muscle memory is working against you rather than for you.

476
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: And someone like Tristan, who had been a right tackle forever,

477
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: You're like, heyo, big dog, go to the other side,

478
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: play left tackle, play the most important position on our

479
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,159
Speaker 1: offense for us, and we'll see how it goes. And

480
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: sure enough, he wrote to the occasion, I can't say

481
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,960
Speaker 1: enough about Tristan Worfs, which is why I'm gonna plug

482
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: him at every chance I get. But I wonder if

483
00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 1: that was kind of a domino that needed to fall

484
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: before Trent was comfortable saying, all right, now I know

485
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: where the benchmark is. Now I know what the highest

486
00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 1: paid left tackle looks like, So like I want to

487
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: get you know, one hundred and two hundred thousand than

488
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: that just baseball principle, because I've been so important to

489
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: this team for so long.

490
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 3: If he could have holds all the cards here, he

491
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 3: holds the cards more, I think than even Brandon does

492
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 3: because he knows too.

493
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 2: No, Trent Williams, no super Bowl.

494
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,760
Speaker 1: It's true. It's one hundred percent true. Offensive lines matter. Guys.

495
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: Now we're going to go to Brian Fenley for a

496
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: quick update.

497
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 8: Breaking Yes, Tracy and Carmen Also, I would think funer

498
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:28,160
Speaker 8: kickers matter a lot considering what happened in college football

499
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:33,600
Speaker 8: today Georgia Tech and number ten or Freshno State Florida State.

500
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:34,679
Speaker 9: How dare I?

501
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: It looked like Fresno State out there. The horn did the.

502
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 5: Luck of the Irish, it's the heart of the Jackets,

503
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,800
Speaker 5: and Georgia Tech knocks up under ten Florida State.

504
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 8: And that was Georgia Tech Radio network. I'm sure both

505
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 8: of you saw at least the highlights there as you're

506
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 8: preparing FOE.

507
00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: I would like cry myself away from the game just

508
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,399
Speaker 1: to drive here because I was like, what of wants?

509
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, and you know, you start to think to yourself,

510
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 8: it's a preseason ten seed Florida State, and that seems

511
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 8: obviously very lofty for where they are now. And obviously

512
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 8: that just shows you just how little credence should be

513
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 8: put into the preseason rankings. Yes, not the only one.

514
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 8: I'm sure I'm sure many here in sports radio would

515
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 8: feel the same way. But yes, it was eight and

516
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 8: Berr making a forty one yard field goal to seal

517
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 8: it for Georgia Tech over number ten. That's not going

518
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,199
Speaker 8: to be anymore Florida State twenty four to twenty one.

519
00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:34,679
Speaker 8: The final score right now in college football on FS one,

520
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 8: our sister station, New Mexico has a seven and nothing

521
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 8: leading against Montana State six minutes to go in the

522
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 8: first quarter. Christian Ellis returning a fumble back for a

523
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 8: score four and a half minutes into the first quarter.

524
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 8: That is our only source of offense in this game.

525
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,199
Speaker 8: So we are week zero and we're digging deep for

526
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 8: some of these games.

527
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 9: But hey, it is college football.

528
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: Nice to be back on the TV.

529
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 9: It is so nice to be back on television.

530
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 8: Speaking of which, we are not going to see Deshaun

531
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 8: Watson back on television tonight the preseason finale for the Browns.

532
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,080
Speaker 8: He is set to play Week one of the regular season,

533
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,040
Speaker 8: but did experience some arm soreness, and whether or not

534
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,200
Speaker 8: that's precautionary or something else, he is not going to

535
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 8: be able to play, and we haven't really seen him

536
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 8: in the preseason or head into all of that. It's

537
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,080
Speaker 8: like Carbon has a couple of ideas on what that

538
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 8: can be all about. Also, Cowboys corner Deron Blain having

539
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 8: surgery on a stress fracture in his foot, so that'll

540
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,639
Speaker 8: put him out six to eight weeks. Quickly, two or

541
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 8: three notable nuggets from preseason games that are going on

542
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 8: right now. Bryce Young played a series for the Panthers,

543
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 8: had a touchdown and went twelve plays eighty five yards

544
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 8: on that drive, six of eight through the air.

545
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 9: For seventy yards.

546
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 8: His Panthers, by the way, they are taking on this

547
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,240
Speaker 8: Bills squad. And as we look at what else has

548
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,440
Speaker 8: gone on, obviously the Panthers and the Bills battling it out.

549
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 8: Panthers win thirty one to twenty six. Also, the Steve

550
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 8: coming up to Troy against the Lines twenty four to seventeen.

551
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,880
Speaker 8: Significant because Steelers said coach Mike Tomlins said that he's

552
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 8: gonna make a decision on his starting quarterback at.

553
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 9: The end of next week.

554
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 8: And lastly, yeah, exactly, we'll see how that how that

555
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,679
Speaker 8: works out. And then lastly, we do have right now

556
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 8: Chargers leading the Cowboys seven to three. Priest's in action

557
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 8: late in the first quarter, it was a Darius Davis

558
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 8: seventy yard touchdown run. Each and Stick is the one

559
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 8: that's starting quarterback for the Chargers. Also, Trey Lance Carmen

560
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 8: as I get it back to you in Tracy.

561
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 9: Obviously Tracy with the forty nine ers.

562
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 8: You know Trey Lance very well, and so far as

563
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 8: he's been starting in this game for the Cowboys, nine

564
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 8: to thirteen, seventy six yards has not been sacked. But yeah,

565
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 8: it's preseason seven to three Chargers Cowboys late first quarter man.

566
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: All right, well, thank you, Brian. We're gonna we'll talk

567
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 1: a little bit about that. I think a little bit later,

568
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: but for right now, we've got Matt Barrows from the

569
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: Athletic on the line who covers the forty nine, So

570
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: a little bit more forty nine ers talk. I want

571
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: to get your perspective on this.

572
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 9: Matt.

573
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for joining us.

574
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 10: Oh thanks for having me on.

575
00:26:07,600 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 1: Really appreciate you coming on. We were just talking at

576
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:13,520
Speaker 1: Tracy and I about not only Brandon Ayyuk, which has

577
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: dominated the news cycles because as she pointed out, he's

578
00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 1: holding in and so he's around and so you're seeing

579
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 1: his face and the squeaky wheel, the squeaky wheel gets

580
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 1: the oil, I guess, but also Charent Williams is a

581
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: total holdout and is, as Tracy so lovely pointed out,

582
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 1: more important to the offense than pretty much anybody else.

583
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 1: So what is it that you are hearing when it

584
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: comes to both of these guys, do we think that

585
00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 1: deals are getting done soon at all? What is your

586
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: take on the situation? What does you read?

587
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 10: Yeah, well, my read is that we're going to be

588
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 10: in the stalemate for a little while longer.

589
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,719
Speaker 4: I mean, I'm so tired, Matt, I'm so tired driving

590
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: around it every day.

591
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 10: I go back last year with the Nick both the

592
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 10: situation and Nick Bosha didn't get signed in the spring,

593
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 10: didn't get signed in the summer. All of August goes by,

594
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 10: and we go into September and then Nick Bosa gets

595
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:14,199
Speaker 10: exactly what he wants, which is the highest contract for

596
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,959
Speaker 10: a non quarterback in all the land. So I mean

597
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:22,479
Speaker 10: to me, every agent with a prominent forty nine er

598
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 10: on their client list saw that and said, okay, let's

599
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 10: just let's just take this to the last possible deadline

600
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,880
Speaker 10: and then they're going to capitulate. And so I think

601
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 10: that's going to happen. I mean, what are we now,

602
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 10: fifteen sixteen days away from Week one against the Jets.

603
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 10: This is the bewitching hour. This is when these guys

604
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 10: need to come in in order to be up to speed.

605
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 10: And I think for Brandon Ayu. It's more important just

606
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 10: because he plays a position where you need a lot

607
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 10: of stamina and you need a lot of cohesion with

608
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,360
Speaker 10: your quarterback. He's younger too.

609
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 7: I think it's a.

610
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:02,440
Speaker 10: Little bit more imperative that he gets in earlier if

611
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 10: they expect him to have a big game against the Jets.

612
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 10: And at this point, I'm starting to think, Okay, he

613
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 10: might play against the Jets, but it's not going to

614
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 10: be his normal ninety eight ninety nine percent of the

615
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:19,800
Speaker 10: offensive snaps more around sixty five seventy percent of the

616
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 10: offensive snaps.

617
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: I would agree with that. I also kind of barrows.

618
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 3: I kind of think this might be crazy. I think

619
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 3: Trent Williams gets done first. Yeah, I kind of think

620
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 3: Trent Williams gets done first because I think I don't know.

621
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 3: I like you said, I said this before you came on.

622
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 3: I think with Brandon it's going to be down to

623
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 3: the final hour and they're going to be like fine,

624
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 3: like it was with Bosa, Fine, here's what you want,

625
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: you want it to have it. I just I don't know

626
00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 3: why I think Trent gets done first. Maybe that's just

627
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 3: me being crazy, but it's kind of a gut thing

628
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:48,360
Speaker 3: and we'll see how good my gut is.

629
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 10: Well, there's the sense that Trent was not eager to

630
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 10: take part in training camp, being.

631
00:28:57,240 --> 00:29:00,240
Speaker 3: That's kind of what I was alluding to with his age.

632
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 10: Training camp was over, and then all three preseason games

633
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 10: were played, and now, like I said, it's still sixteen days.

634
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 10: So even if he came in a couple of days

635
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 10: from now, it's must two weeks, a two week tune

636
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 10: up to get ready for the season. You know, you

637
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,880
Speaker 10: get a few snaps with Nick Bosa and then all

638
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 10: of a sudden you say yourself, you know what, I

639
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 10: feel pretty good about playing against the yet, so I

640
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 10: agree with you from that standpoint. It may have been

641
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 10: something where he just said, listen, I'm gonna wait until

642
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,760
Speaker 10: late August anyway, and then let's get this deal done.

643
00:29:36,720 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 10: But you know, he's also no stranger to holding out

644
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 10: for lengthy He went a whole year in Washington in

645
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:50,520
Speaker 10: a holdout. So he's not a guy that you want

646
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 10: to get into a staring contact with for multiple reasons.

647
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 6: Yeah.

648
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,480
Speaker 3: Serious, I think Kyle Shanahan's worst nightmare if he held

649
00:29:57,480 --> 00:29:59,360
Speaker 3: out a year. But you bring up Nick Bosa, So

650
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: I want to talk about the defensive line. The front

651
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,240
Speaker 3: are sustained a couple of injuries last night, and Leonard

652
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,520
Speaker 3: Floyd and Yacher Gross Matos they're having MRIs today.

653
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,520
Speaker 2: Kyle Shanahanson he thinks it's an e sprain, Matt.

654
00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 3: The defensive line is getting very thin, and not because

655
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 3: they're on a diet.

656
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 2: I planned that line earlier, so I don't want to

657
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,920
Speaker 2: have anything. I just made that up.

658
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 3: But what are they going to have to do? Are

659
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:20,479
Speaker 3: they going to have to do something here? Because they

660
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,560
Speaker 3: are losing quite a bit of depth there.

661
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 10: Yeah, it wasn't a real deep spot to start out

662
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 10: with before last night's injuries. You know, Craig Jackson has

663
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 10: the teller injury that's going to keep them out the

664
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 10: full season. So they were already down to basically four

665
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 10: guys for kind of you know, game day ready guys,

666
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 10: and you know, we're waiting on these MRIs. They may

667
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 10: be minor sprains and we're talking just a few days

668
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 10: or maybe a week and a half or so. But

669
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 10: if it were more serious, yeah, I think that they

670
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 10: don't say they're in trouble, but that's definitely a position

671
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 10: where on Wednesday, after these cuts are made, they're they're

672
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 10: scouring the waiver wires for defensive linemen and I think

673
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 10: particularly defensive ends edge rush, and I think just about

674
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 10: every team is at this point. There's been a lot

675
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 10: of injuries league wide at that position, so I don't

676
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 10: know if that's a spot that they could readily bulk up.

677
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 10: So it's it's a big concern. This happened on consecutive plays,

678
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 10: sort of similar plays too. I mean, both both guys

679
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 10: got their legs caught underneath the teammate and sort of

680
00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 10: bent awkwardly, So very scary. It just kind of shows

681
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 10: you how how dramatically you know, the fortunes of the team,

682
00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 10: the fortunes of a position group can can change.

683
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's friendly fires, I think because there's like there's

684
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,360
Speaker 1: nothing you do about it. Can't be mad about it

685
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: either because it happens all the time. But Matt, this

686
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: is We've said this over and over again. I feel

687
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,120
Speaker 1: like the last few years I was of the A

688
00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,280
Speaker 1: listen to that listen. Not getting rid of BA was

689
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 1: not going to get you over the hump, which is

690
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 1: what these Niners have not been able to do. They've

691
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 1: been very successful objectively getting to the NFC Championship, game,

692
00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 1: getting to the Super Bowl and then they just can't

693
00:32:15,960 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: close it. What is it going to take for them

694
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,400
Speaker 1: to close?

695
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 10: I mean, I think it's just going to be that

696
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,400
Speaker 10: that fourth year. I mean, the fourth year is always

697
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 10: sort of wonky on these on these contracts. You know,

698
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:33,440
Speaker 10: sometimes it's just absurd money. And it's cleared everybody that's

699
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 10: really a three year deal that that will never get

700
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 10: to the fourth I don't know what the details of

701
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 10: this of the fourth year offer are or the fourth

702
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 10: year of what the forty nine ers are offering, but

703
00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 10: apparently that's the hold up. And you understand why it

704
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,719
Speaker 10: would be because you know, you don't want to if

705
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 10: you're the player, you don't want it just to be

706
00:32:55,840 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 10: a phony year where you're not really shined through four seasons.

707
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 10: And maybe that's what it's gonna end up being. Maybe

708
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 10: it's a three year extension Deepo Samuels. Another difficult contract

709
00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,880
Speaker 10: negotiation for the forty nine ers was a three year deal.

710
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 10: Are your deal would benefit the player because the player

711
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:18,760
Speaker 10: would still be in his twenties and he'd get another

712
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 10: bite at free agency. So maybe that's what it ends

713
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 10: up being. Compromises that Okay, we'll only sign you for

714
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 10: three more seasons.

715
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,200
Speaker 1: Well, this is going to have to come to a

716
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:33,320
Speaker 1: head and close very quickly. And I think that, I mean,

717
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,960
Speaker 1: Tracy's been said fast and the Brandon and I you

718
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,120
Speaker 1: re remanding a forty nine er. I think I'm still

719
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:39,320
Speaker 1: on that boat too. I don't think the forty nine

720
00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:42,600
Speaker 1: ers can really make a huge push without him, certainly

721
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: not without Trent Williams. But thank you so much for

722
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 1: joining the program today. Wonderful to talk to you, Matt.

723

724
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: great day and get ready for the season.

725
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:53,680

738
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,040
Speaker 1: Matt Barrows on. We've been talking a bunch of forty

739
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: nine ers, BA and Trent Williams. But now it's time

740

Speaker 1: for the dues and the don'ts highlighting the dukes.

741

Speaker 5: I love that putting a spotlight on the dots.

742
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 2: The subject brings me no joy.

743
00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:51,760
Speaker 1: That's insane.

744
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:54,120
Speaker 5: It's time for the dues and the dots.

745
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 1: In sports, all right, my first one done. Of my

746
00:34:58,040 --> 00:35:01,799
Speaker 1: are like super serious, but my first one is do

747
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: show up for your coach? And this crosses over from sports,

748
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:09,319
Speaker 1: and I don't usually talk politics, but members of his

749
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: state championship team showed up at the Democratic National Convention

750
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 1: to support Tim Walls as his running mate accepted the

751
00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:22,000
Speaker 1: nomination for vice president or for president of the United States,

752
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: the current vice president, and it was like, it was

753
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: so cute. And then Kamala Harris gets up there and

754
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:30,120
Speaker 1: calls him coach Tim Walls, and like, I just like,

755
00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 1: get a football guy in office, man, like that, that's

756
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: just the best thing. Jim president, Right, who would be

757
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:41,720
Speaker 1: the best president of like the NFL head coaches?

758
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 2: Oh that's a really really good question, right, I.

759
00:35:45,320 --> 00:35:46,680
Speaker 1: Think you can do a whole segment on that. That'd

760
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,520
Speaker 1: be hilarious. Said all right, we don't have to talk

761
00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: about it now. I want to get to yours.

762
00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:51,960
Speaker 11: But I don't know about NFL coaches, but Nick Saban

763
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:56,720
Speaker 11: could absolutely just look like eighty four McGovern okay, and Reagano.

764
00:35:57,520 --> 00:35:59,360
Speaker 1: I will take your Nick Saban. I will raise you.

765
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,879
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, Oh, Dan Campbell for President of the United

766
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:03,640
Speaker 1: States of America.

767
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 3: Could you imagine I don't think he's even killed enough.

768
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: I'm moving Bill Belichick. Can you imagine that Bill Belichick

769
00:36:09,040 --> 00:36:10,360
Speaker 3: press conferences when he's the president.

770
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,399
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's going to be not entertaining. I want

771
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: the entertaining stuff. Give me Dan Campbell.

772
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: Well that's that's true.

773
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,520
Speaker 3: But but if we're really going with the best president, though,

774
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 3: that would be fun. I'm still going Jim Jim Harba

779
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,720
Speaker 3: my dontes are not all that serious. But my first

780
00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:36,080
Speaker 3: don't is do not schedule a preseason football game at

781
00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:37,799
Speaker 3: seven pm on a Friday night.

782
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: I'm with you, preseason game three?

783
00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 3: No less that is a very, very big don't that

784
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 3: I feel so strongly about, like I might start some

785
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 3: sort of petition for it.

786
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: It's like the preseason schedule is like especially for the

787
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 1: third preseason game, like come on, come on, we know

788
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 1: like most of the starters aren't playing. It's not worth

789
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:59,399
Speaker 1: anybody's time. Like it's good for guys to get old

790
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,480
Speaker 1: Kayton for other teams and stuff, but we don't need

791
00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: to watch that. I don't know, it's too late, all right,

792
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 1: my next dude, his dude names some guys with your

793
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 1: friends because I don't know if you saw this. The

794
00:37:10,239 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 1: Bills on social media did the video where they asked

795
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,360
Speaker 1: their team the guys about some dudes in the NBA

796
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:21,239
Speaker 1: uh huh, and everybody just comes in with like their

797
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 1: most random NBA player they could think of. Keon Coleman,

798
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: their rookie wide receiver, just shined throughout this entire bitter heu.

799
00:37:30,120 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: He's so likely he stuck around with every dude being

800
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 1: like going back and forth naming just random NBA players

801
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,640
Speaker 1: and even Brian's Scalabrini got a shout out, which as

802
00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: someone who grew up a Bulls fan and actually got

803
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:45,279
Speaker 1: to see Brian'sclabrini hit a game winning shot. I'm saying

804
00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 1: this in air quotes. He drained a three when the

805
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 1: Bulls were already up by twenty. It was it was phenomenal.

806
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: The whole place erupted in Brian's Scalabrini chance. Anyway, it

807
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:56,480
Speaker 1: was just Kean Coleman is so likable. The builders are like, well,

808
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:57,560
Speaker 1: good job bills social media.

809
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: My don't is again preseas you guys, it's gonna tell

810
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 3: I have preseason on the brain. Do not do a

811
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,160
Speaker 3: coach's challenge in the game in a game three of.

812
00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,280
Speaker 2: A preseason that's scheduled at seven pm.

813
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,520
Speaker 3: That is that that's almost worse in scheduling the game

814
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 3: at tea.

815
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:13,319
Speaker 2: Don't do that to people.

816
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: Don't do it to yourself, right, what are you getting

817
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,239
Speaker 1: out of that? Come on, it's a preseason game. We

818
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:19,680
Speaker 1: should not be taking it that seriously.

819
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 2: Absolutely no.

820
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: That reminds me of my boyfriend. I were playing against

821
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: Doaba like last night, and I was we played together,

822
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 1: but I watched him at one point and like the

823
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:33,000
Speaker 1: computer against him, decided to like call time out when

824
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 1: he was already up by like fourteen points. As the

825
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,640
Speaker 1: clock was winding down. So what he did was he

826
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:40,200
Speaker 1: ran another play. He's like, fine, I'm gonna spite you back. Computer.

827
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 1: It was fantastic, but like, yeah, there's no room for

828
00:38:43,120 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: any of that. I We're just treat preseason accordingly, treat

829
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 1: all of that stuff accordingly. All right, I have another

830
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: I now have a don't I feel like I have?

831
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:02,440
Speaker 1: I had dues? You have don'ts don't let the opposing

832
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:08,799
Speaker 1: team get stuck in your elevator. Yes, along the lines

833
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: of things that you should be able to control and

834
00:39:10,760 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: not do. If you guys didn't see members of the

835
00:39:14,360 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 1: Chargers team got stuck in an elevator in Dallas ahead

836
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:22,160
Speaker 1: of this preseason game that we are now watching right now.

837
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 1: Like I want to know if it was like because

838
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: it was over the weight limit.

839
00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:29,040
Speaker 3: Though, what was like players and I guess stuff. They

840
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,279
Speaker 3: had to be pulled out one by one, one by one,

841
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 3: the chef. It's also, can we be honest, it's like

842
00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 3: the most Chargers thing ever. It is so chargery And

843
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:38,360
Speaker 3: I say that out.

844
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: Of their control, but like still goes wrong anyway.

845
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 3: The charger's going to charger and that was like the

846
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: full that was about as charger.

847
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,080
Speaker 2: As you could be.

848
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 1: I can't. I don't know how that happens, Like you

849
00:39:49,840 --> 00:39:54,200
Speaker 1: just you have to. There're massive, massive, massive dudes, and

850
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 1: I get that, but like, all right, then don't either

851
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 1: crowd the elevator or whatever. And then just can you

852
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: imagine them getting pulled out out by like firefighters who

853
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:05,000
Speaker 1: are all like who are probably smaller than these guys

854
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,799
Speaker 1: trying to like yank them out. I just that's it's

855
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:09,319
Speaker 1: it's wild. Do you have another duty?

856
00:40:09,960 --> 00:40:11,719
Speaker 3: I have another don't, but it's a nice don't. And

857
00:40:11,719 --> 00:40:14,040
Speaker 3: this is a little bit so boxy, but rosters get

858
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: caught on Tuesday.

859
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:19,400
Speaker 2: Don't celebrate. These are people's lives and this is their jobs.

860
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:21,719
Speaker 3: And I know everybody wants their team to be the

861
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,879
Speaker 3: best and all of that, but you wouldn't want someone

893
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,319
Speaker 1: longest reads today. She's knocked it out of the park.

894

Speaker 1: Thank you.

895
00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:00,520

896
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,160
Speaker 1: You see what I did, And I really liked that.

897
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 1: I see what I did there. Speaking of nogging it

898
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:05,960
Speaker 1: out of the park. I know we promised you some NFL.

899
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: We're going to get back to the NFL really quickly here,

900
00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:13,840
Speaker 1: But first, Tracy is wearing a Dodgers.

901
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:15,279
Speaker 2: T shirt with Otani on the back.

902
00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 1: With Otani on the back, it's her ow Twani T shirt.

903
00:42:18,719 --> 00:42:21,120
Speaker 1: She's a huge Dodger fan. I actually worked with the

904
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 1: Dodgers way back when we don't need to say years

905
00:42:23,600 --> 00:42:26,520
Speaker 1: or names or anything like that. But no organization that

906
00:42:26,520 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 1: we're both very familiar with. And I don't know, did

907
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,920
Speaker 1: something happen yesterday Terrace?

908
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: Oh my god, she was so exciting.

909
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 3: So in the same game show, hey, Otani steals his

910
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,520
Speaker 3: fortieth face and hits his fortieth home run. He is

911
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 3: the first player in franchise history to have a forty

912
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 3: forty season. But the way he got the fortieth home

913
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:47,120
Speaker 3: run is a walk off Grand Slam and the I mean, honestly,

914
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 3: thinking about it, I might start crying. It was so

915
00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:53,719
Speaker 3: amazing and I just can't watch it enough, and you

916
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,960
Speaker 3: guys should all check it out. He's incredible.

917
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,080
Speaker 1: The biggest thing for me is I did not I

918
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: realized that show Heyotani was that fast, Like he's the

919
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:07,640
Speaker 1: forty stolen bases, and he's also the fastest player in

920
00:43:07,760 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: MLB history to that forty forty mark, which I think

921
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,120
Speaker 1: is crazy. It's only been done six times before anyway,

922
00:43:13,239 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: or there's only six players MLB history that I've ever

923
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: done it, and he did it in his one hundred

924
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,480
Speaker 1: and twenty sixth game of the season, which is the

925
00:43:19,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Speaker 1: fastest mark. I just it's wild to me. We were talking

926
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: about this off air, like shoe hee Atani gets hurt,

927
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:28,520
Speaker 1: It's like, God, I can't pitch anymore. I guess I'll

928
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:30,320
Speaker 1: just become the best hitter in baseball.

929
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's incredible, and I think rarely if we want to,

930
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 3: like circle back a little NFL, we we talked about

931
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: with rookie quarterbacks and the pressure on them. We talked

932
00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:41,000
Speaker 3: at the top of the show, Joey Otani came in

933
00:43:41,120 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: as like so much pressure, they're paying him so much

934
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 3: much money, and he's exceeded expectations.

935
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 2: How often does that happen?

936
00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,719
Speaker 3: Also, when he did his post last night from the game,

937
00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:53,320
Speaker 3: the last slide was of his dog decoy, and really

938
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:54,200
Speaker 3: right there.

939
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:56,600
Speaker 1: He has me, I mean, yeah, like put a dog

940
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: in there, like you're but you're so right, because that

941
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:02,520
Speaker 1: contract was insane, richest contract and I'll be history all

942
00:44:02,560 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: of those wonderful things. And yet he has not only

943
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:09,120
Speaker 1: lived up to that contract where you're like, yeah, I

944
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 1: would do that one hundred times out of one hundred again,

945
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:15,920
Speaker 1: but he's exceeded those expectations just with one phase of

946
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:16,359
Speaker 1: his game.

947
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,360
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

948
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:19,680
Speaker 1: I just I can't wait to see him come back

949
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,879
Speaker 1: and pitch and see if, like you know, he can

950
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,320
Speaker 1: still maintain this momentum, because it seems impossible to even fathom.

951
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:31,799
Speaker 1: But also like he is completely changing what our expectations

952
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,239
Speaker 1: of baseball players are and he's completely changing the game,

953
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:37,719
Speaker 1: and like, God, good luck for these guys coming up,

954
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,960
Speaker 1: because like it's how are you? How are you one

955
00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 1: of the best pitchers and one of the best hitters

956
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: in baseball and like you cantine it's it's wild to me,

957
00:44:45,880 --> 00:44:49,399
Speaker 1: but it also to your point of pressure. I mean,

958
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,479
Speaker 1: the Dodgers are leading the National lead. Now they're leading

959
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: the NL.

960
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 3: And they have for a while they had their lead

961
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:58,319
Speaker 3: was dwindling a little. They've kind of still three games up.

962
00:44:58,360 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 3: I believe they're four. I believe therefore at this point,

963
00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,319
Speaker 3: I'm almost positive, but I think therefore at this time,

964
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 3: but it had gone down to two. But this is

965
00:45:07,719 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 3: the other thing that's happened for the Dodgers, and I

966
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:11,359
Speaker 3: think we kind of forgot it. They had so many

967
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: players on the il. There were so many, and now

968
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,120
Speaker 3: they're healthy. Having Max months He back in the lineup

969
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 3: makes a big difference. Having Mookie Bets obviously just being

970
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 3: there makes a huge difference. So now all of a sudden,

971
00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,000
Speaker 3: what we're seeing is even when the pitching falters a little,

972
00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 3: the offense is on fire, and the pitching has gotten

973
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 3: a little bit better. They made some moves at the

974
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 3: deadline that have really helped them. There are still some concerns,

975
00:45:33,080 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 3: but when this offense is firing like this on all

976
00:45:36,200 --> 00:45:39,319
Speaker 3: these cylinders and the pitching isn't good enough, this is

977
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:42,920
Speaker 3: the Dodgers team that I Dodger fans, including myself, are

978
00:45:42,920 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 3: hoping they could be. But it's just funny how a

979
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 3: player it's not just his bat, it's his presence. What

980
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,840
Speaker 3: a difference that makes in a lineup. And that's what

981
00:45:49,840 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: we're seeing for the Dodgers right now.

982
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: Also, like a guy that doesn't really speak English that

983
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: well and yet he's like such a clubhouse guy.

984
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 3: He's such and he's having so much and he does

985
00:45:57,239 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 3: the dance like they do a dance when they hit

986
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 3: a single or double and they do that. I'm doing

987
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:03,440
Speaker 3: the dance right now, and they do the dance when

988
00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:05,279
Speaker 3: they hit a home run and they're a rounding third

989
00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:07,879
Speaker 3: and he does it and he's having so much fun

990
00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:11,200
Speaker 3: with it, and it's I think he's having a blast.

991
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: I would think so. And I mean we're not that

992
00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: far removed though, where I feel like a month month

993
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,160
Speaker 1: and a half ago, it was like can anybody stop

994
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,359
Speaker 1: the Phillies like that was the conversation. And now, yeah,

995
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,040
Speaker 1: there are at least three games, if not four games

996
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: back at this point you got the Brewers in the

997
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 1: mix there.

998
00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 3: I was thinking the ns okay, so they might be

999
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 3: three that the yah astly okay.

1000
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: But I just think it's very It's it's funny, how

1001
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:34,799
Speaker 1: like the tables have turned, and now I think the

1002
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:35,440
Speaker 1: long season.

1003
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:36,680
Speaker 2: That's the thing with baseball, it's.

1004
00:46:37,600 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: And I do think that at the start of the season.

1005
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: I think my prediction on here was Yankees Dodgers too.

1006
00:46:45,280 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: I mean, major League Baseball would just go go nuts.

1007
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:51,160
Speaker 1: If they got a Dodgers Yankees World.

1008
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:52,720
Speaker 2: Series, Sports would go nuts.

1009
00:46:52,880 --> 00:46:56,320
Speaker 3: Sports World Series would go nuts. I mean, that would

1010
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: be so fun and so historic. You'ed of Aaron Judge,

1011
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 3: Shoheo Tani, what cedible series that would be. Just thinking

1012
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:03,680
Speaker 3: about it's giving me anxiety, But it would be so

1013
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 3: much fun.

1014
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 1: It would be. And I mean like, but that is

1015
00:47:06,239 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 1: like if the season weren't end today, hm, that would

1016
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 1: be in the World Series. I do like the Yankees

1017
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:17,919
Speaker 1: just again, they've been They've followed such a similar path

1018
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:19,839
Speaker 1: as the Dodgers. I feel like this season as far

1019
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,160
Speaker 1: as the rankings and where they've fallen, because at one point,

1020
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 1: you know, there are a couple of games back from

1021
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 1: the Orioles and like they're trying, like you didn't know

1022
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: they were still in the mix, but they weren't leading

1023
00:47:31,280 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 1: their league. And now again it was the same thing

1024
00:47:34,080 --> 00:47:35,799
Speaker 1: with the Dodgers. I feel like the Yankees, they're just

1025
00:47:35,800 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: having parallel seasons in so many different ways.

1026
00:47:38,560 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 3: And you get hot, now, this is when you want

1027
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 3: to get hot. And I think for the Dodgers, what's

1028
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 3: actually been really good for them for the struggles is

1029
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,120
Speaker 3: that the last few years, they win the division by

1030
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:49,640
Speaker 3: like one million games, they get the bye week, and

1031
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 3: so they haven't played meaningful baseball in months. By the

1032
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:54,000
Speaker 3: time they go to the division series, even they win

1033
00:47:54,040 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 3: the division, which it looks like they will, and they

1034
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,640
Speaker 3: get the bye week, they will have been playing meaningful

1035
00:47:57,719 --> 00:47:59,759
Speaker 3: baseball right the last two months of the season, and

1036
00:47:59,800 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 3: I think that is going to make such a difference

1037
00:48:02,080 --> 00:48:04,920
Speaker 3: for this team and their postseason push. And plus, also

1038
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:08,880
Speaker 3: in case you guys missed it, they have shoo Tony.

1039
00:48:08,520 --> 00:48:10,960
Speaker 1: No and again I think that can be applied to

1040
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:14,320
Speaker 1: Yankee suit Like. Ah, that is something that's gone underrated.

1041
00:48:14,360 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 1: It's something we've actually talked about on previous shows with

1042
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 1: Alex and talking about how yeah, like they have not

1043
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:24,200
Speaker 1: been afforded the ability to take their foot off the

1044
00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:28,040
Speaker 1: gas pedal, uh, and they have had to kind of

1045
00:48:28,080 --> 00:48:31,200
Speaker 1: fight in these standings and to stay on top, and

1046
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:33,080
Speaker 1: like there are teams that are right on their tail

1047
00:48:33,080 --> 00:48:35,239
Speaker 1: that are closing the gap. And so it means that

1048
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 1: I think that there's a balance to strike between all, right,

1049
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,120
Speaker 1: we're playing meaningful baseball. We have to be at our

1050
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:45,360
Speaker 1: best still, and so we're like warmed up for the postseason.

1051
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:47,000
Speaker 1: But at the same time, you also want to make

1052
00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:49,239
Speaker 1: sure that you're getting your guys the rest that they need.

1053
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: You're making sure that like your pitching lineup is like

1054
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:55,520
Speaker 1: you're taking the breaks you need to that you're resting

1055
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:57,880
Speaker 1: your guys. But I think in the Dodgers case in

1056
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,720
Speaker 1: particular two you mentioned it, guys coming off the il

1057
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,960
Speaker 1: right at the right time, because this is giving you

1058
00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 1: just enough time to really warm back up and be

1059
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:12,040
Speaker 1: a factor in this I just looks it looks so

1060
00:49:12,160 --> 00:49:13,560
Speaker 1: bright for the Dodgers right now.

1061
00:49:14,040 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 2: Knock wood, knockwood, knock all the things now.

1062
00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 3: But the thing that's crazy about baseball too, talk about

1063
00:49:18,680 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 3: being a long season. There's still I believe thirty three

1064
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,440
Speaker 3: games to go, So no, that's true, so much time,

1065
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:25,640
Speaker 3: but they are getting out the right time. Right now,

1066
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 3: Things like very bright for them, and hopefully it continues

1067
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 3: that way because they're fun, and I think they'd be

1068
00:49:30,480 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 3: a fun playoff team and be fun to watch.

1069
00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 1: It would be. And also yeah, I mean I feel

1070
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:35,560
Speaker 1: like now that football is starting and everything, I'm like, oh,

1071
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 1: it's fall, We're playing fall baseball. It's like it's not

1072
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 1: quite September yet getting.

1073
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,160
Speaker 2: There, but very soon, but very soon, very soon.

1074
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:43,879
Speaker 1: And I do think that all right, Like, if you're

1075
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 1: looking at the way, especially the National League is going

1076
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:51,200
Speaker 1: to shake your shape up. Like I'm looking at standings

1077
00:49:51,239 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: right now, you've got the Dodgers, Brewers, Phillies, d Backs, Padres, Braves, Mets.

1078
00:49:57,239 --> 00:49:58,160
Speaker 1: That's or even in the mix.

1079
00:49:58,680 --> 00:49:59,600
Speaker 2: That's or even in the mix?

1080
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,200
Speaker 3: Is this a year ago the Bets were like barely functioning,

1081
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:04,680
Speaker 3: but they are even now.

1082
00:50:05,280 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, I'm from Chicago. We have two teams

1083
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:12,320
Speaker 1: in Chicago that can't make any sort of noise. It

1084
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: comes there a little far back. But I mean the

1085
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,600
Speaker 1: White Sox they've won thirty one games all year.

1086
00:50:15,680 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a rough it's a rough go, it's a

1087
00:50:17,480 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: rough face. They've won less games than are left in

1088
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:19,960
Speaker 2: the season.

1089
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:21,600
Speaker 1: You didn't need to say that.

1090
00:50:21,960 --> 00:50:24,640
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but it's just true to say that. I'm sorry.

1091
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:26,799
Speaker 1: Everyone's like clowning on it, like, oh, look, who's your

1092
00:50:26,800 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 1: white sox. I'm like, I know, what else do you

1093
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 1: want me to say? Like, I'm not I had no hope.

1094
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:35,160
Speaker 1: I haven't had hope in a long time. But I

1095
00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:36,880
Speaker 1: don't know. I mean, like, if anybody, if it's not

1096
00:50:36,920 --> 00:50:38,640
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, like, who do you think it comes out

1097
00:50:38,680 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: of the NL in the World Series?

1098
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 2: Well, I feel like this is a mean question to

1099
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 2: ask me.

1100
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: But if, like in some weird bizarro universe, it's not

1101
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:51,160
Speaker 3: the Dodgers, I actually think it is the Phillies. They're

1102
00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:54,399
Speaker 3: another team that I think they're fun there. They've got

1103
00:50:54,400 --> 00:50:56,960
Speaker 3: great chemistry, which doesn't always matter in baseball, but I

1104
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 3: think it matters more and more as we were talking

1105
00:50:58,360 --> 00:51:00,879
Speaker 3: about the Dodgers, and I think they are a very

1106
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:03,200
Speaker 3: fun team. And if it's not them, the one that

1107
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:06,920
Speaker 3: would pain me, just dagger to the heart would be

1108
00:51:06,960 --> 00:51:07,640
Speaker 3: the Padres.

1109
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:12,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, weather fifth place in the I know,

1110
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 4: but I'm gon, who's the two fun teams other.

1111
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:16,799
Speaker 1: Than the Yankees? Then let's let's go on the other side.

1112
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 1: Just because I have you in the studio, you're a

1113
00:51:18,320 --> 00:51:21,480
Speaker 1: huge Dodger fan. If it's not the Yankees. Who you want?

1114
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:22,080
Speaker 1: Who do you want?

1115
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:25,200
Speaker 2: Who do I want them to play? I want revenge.

1116
00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 2: I want them to play.

1117
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: The revenge is a dish best served cold in October.

1118
00:51:31,680 --> 00:51:33,279
Speaker 1: Cold in October.

1119
00:51:32,800 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 2: Moving into the beginning of November.

1120
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:39,280
Speaker 1: Although between LA and Houston those are not cold climates.

1121
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:44,840
Speaker 3: Know they're not, but still, let's just go with the metaphor.

1122
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 1: It's still fall. Uh yeah, No, I'm I'm very interested

1123
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,480
Speaker 1: to see how this season like actually wraps up, because,

1124
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 1: like you said, I think there's just so much more

1125
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,080
Speaker 1: drama towards the end of it, and like we're it's

1126
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:56,080
Speaker 1: gonna come down to the wire and like in a

1127
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,080
Speaker 1: couple of weeks here, we're really going to be like,

1128
00:51:58,080 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 1: like it's going to be dominating some new cycles even

1129
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: with the NFL in full swing. But you guys, we

1130
00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:09,560
Speaker 1: come back. We've got some drama in Pittsburgh. We're gonna

1131
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:13,080
Speaker 1: talk about it. Who Mike Tomlin decides to name his

1132
00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. We'll see, We'll see how the other side

1153
00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:25,200
Speaker 1: well as always. But now we spent some time talking

1154
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: about baseball, but we're gonna get back into some NFL

1155
00:53:27,760 --> 00:53:32,719
Speaker 1: because Steelers and the Lions played today. M HM, and

1156
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:36,719
Speaker 1: as fatigued as we are. At the third week of

1157
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. I was tuning in and I like, I'm like, God,

1158
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:44,799
Speaker 1: I'm such a sicko, Like we're all just sickos. Like

1159
00:53:44,880 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: looking forward to the Steelers Lions third preseason game. Lions

1160
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:54,040
Speaker 1: didn't play any of their starters. The Steelers did, and

1161
00:53:54,120 --> 00:53:56,640
Speaker 1: not only did they play their starters, they played their

1162
00:53:56,800 --> 00:54:00,440
Speaker 1: starting offensive line and their offensive starters with two different

1163
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because apparently this decision is not made. Russell Wilson

1164
00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:09,839
Speaker 1: took the start of the game, played one series, went

1165
00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: two for two, went down the field, scored, wasn't much

1166
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:16,480
Speaker 1: else you wanted him to do, made a couple of

1167
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:20,879
Speaker 1: good throws, it was, you know, some good runs, all

1168
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:24,600
Speaker 1: that other stuff, and then was immediately pulled and i

1169
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 1: was like, all right, after that happen, I'm like, that's it,

1170
00:54:27,280 --> 00:54:30,240
Speaker 1: Like that's the decision. They made their decision. Russell Wilson

1171
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,560
Speaker 1: kept his pole position and he's going to be the

1172
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:37,080
Speaker 1: starting quarterback. Well, then Fields goes out again with the

1173
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:41,720
Speaker 1: starting offensive line and he goes down the field and scores.

1174
00:54:42,640 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 1: His best throw was on an RPO, which is something

1175
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: that doesn't really require a lot of reading, so like

1176
00:54:48,239 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 1: you read the defense to see whether or not you

1177
00:54:50,160 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: keep it yourself, or you hand it off or you

1178
00:54:53,680 --> 00:54:56,719
Speaker 1: throw it. And he did and it was like a

1179
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,880
Speaker 1: twenty two yard game, I want to say, and he

1180
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: ends up scoring or leading a scoring drive. So then

1181
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: you go, oh, wait, is the decision made? And then

1182
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 1: Justin Fields goes back out there for two more series.

1183
00:55:14,280 --> 00:55:16,399
Speaker 1: The next series was an absolute disaster because the ball

1184
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,640
Speaker 1: was snapped. Fields was not aware it was a communication

1185
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: error with the center and it just goes whizzing past

1186
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: his head. So fumble wasn't really that clean. I saw

1187
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,560
Speaker 1: him take a hitch on a handoff and I'm like,

1188
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: what are we doing? Where's the footwork? And then he

1189
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,600
Speaker 1: goes back out for the third series, hits Van Jefferson

1190
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: for a first down, but then the series ends on

1191
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:39,600
Speaker 1: a sack that Fields takes, and like, that's been my

1192
00:55:39,640 --> 00:55:44,279
Speaker 1: whole thing about this quarterback conundrum in Pittsburgh. I think

1193
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:48,080
Speaker 1: we've lost the plat Tracy because we're dealing with like

1194
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: two bottom third quarterbacks if we're going off their twenty

1195
00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty three numbers at the end of the day. So

1196
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 1: I think what the Steelers now need to ask themselves

1197
00:55:54,920 --> 00:55:58,319
Speaker 1: is do we see either of these guys being with

1198
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:03,440
Speaker 1: this franchise past this season or are they just rentals now?

1199
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 1: If you can see one of them be here for

1200
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: the long term, if you're trying to find a long

1201
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,879
Speaker 1: term solution, So if that answer is maybe or yes,

1202
00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,040
Speaker 1: then like go with the guy that has the upside,

1203
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,000
Speaker 1: which I get justin Fields is not a rookie anymore.

1204
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,480
Speaker 1: Trust me, I know I watched them all in Chicago.

1205
00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 1: He's played a lot of football. But can you bet

1206
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:26,000
Speaker 1: maybe you bet on Arthur Smith to be able to

1207
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 1: resurrect Field's career like he did in Tennessee with Ryan Tannehill.

1208
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you bet on him to improve Fields as a passer.

1209
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:34,920
Speaker 1: And then if you can do that, And this is

1210
00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,520
Speaker 1: why I think people are this is the for Fields camp,

1211
00:56:39,640 --> 00:56:41,440
Speaker 1: because like he's such a dynamic runner and he's an

1212
00:56:41,440 --> 00:56:44,640
Speaker 1: amazing athlete, and if you can actually get a really

1213
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:48,000
Speaker 1: good passing game along with his running ability, and he

1214
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: becomes that dual threat quarterback that we all want him

1215
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: to be that is so hard to stop. And he's young,

1216
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: he's twenty five. Yeah, so you could have you could

1217
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,000
Speaker 1: have your long term answer at quarterback for a really

1218
00:56:59,080 --> 00:57:02,840
Speaker 1: long time. But there's so many what ifs in that scenario.

1219
00:57:02,920 --> 00:57:05,480
Speaker 1: So then if you don't think that either of these guys,

1220
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:07,040
Speaker 1: they're both, these guys are just one of your rentals,

1221
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 1: are not going to be with the team, then you

1222
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 1: need to go with the guy that stresses your defense,

1223
00:57:11,480 --> 00:57:14,399
Speaker 1: your own defense the least as in gives the ball

1224
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 1: over there turns, doesn't turn the ball over, doesn't take sacks,

1225
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,120
Speaker 1: can sustain drives, keep the defense off the field, all

1226
00:57:22,160 --> 00:57:25,840
Speaker 1: that other stuff. Historically that has been Russell Wilson, though

1227
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,040
Speaker 1: that was not the Russell Wilson that we saw in Denver.

1228
00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:31,520
Speaker 1: No that if you look at the twenty twenty three

1229
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,960
Speaker 1: stats between Dustin Fields and Russell Wilson, they're not very different.

1230
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: Like Russell Wilson took forty five sacks, gave away ten fumbles,

1231
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,120
Speaker 1: or not gave away but fumbled the ball ten times.

1232
00:57:41,800 --> 00:57:46,400
Speaker 1: Justin Fields took forty four sacks, fumbled ten times. The difference, though,

1233
00:57:46,840 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: is that if you go back one more a year

1234
00:57:49,320 --> 00:57:51,840
Speaker 1: and you look at field stats from then, he led

1235
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:54,880
Speaker 1: the league in both fumbles and sacks taken, where he

1236
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: took fifty five sacks.

1237
00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 2: It's great to lead the league in something, but maybe

1238
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:00,880
Speaker 2: not that.

1239
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:03,400
Speaker 1: So we've seen Russell Wilson be able to take care

1240
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,560
Speaker 1: of the football. We've seen him be able to evade Sax.

1241
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 1: Now can he still because he's getting older and he's

1242
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 1: not as mumble as he used to be. I don't know.

1243
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,640
Speaker 1: But like this is the question we should be asking

1244
00:58:12,640 --> 00:58:15,280
Speaker 1: of the Steelers, which is are either of these guys

1245
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:17,040
Speaker 1: going to be on your roster next year? And if

1246
00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,040
Speaker 1: that's not the case, then just go with the safe option.

1247
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:21,800
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think the Steelers know the answer that yet,

1248
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 3: and so I think they're not. They may say that

1249
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 3: they have a decision next week, is too the starting quarterback?

1250
00:58:26,600 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 3: But I don't think who's ever the starting quarterback in

1251
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,800
Speaker 3: week one, as the starting quarterback in Week eight, and

1252
00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 3: potentially not the starting quarterback in Week five, Like I think,

1253
00:58:33,200 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 3: in some ways for the Steelers, and I know fans

1254
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,040
Speaker 3: wouldn't want to think of it this way, and I'm sure

1255
00:58:37,040 --> 00:58:39,480
Speaker 3: the Steelers would say that's not true at all, But

1256
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,480
Speaker 3: in some ways, the whole season is kind of like

1257
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 3: a preseason quarterback battle for them to see if either

1258
00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 3: of these guys can do it.

1259
00:58:45,760 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: Because I don't know that either can.

1260
00:58:46,920 --> 00:58:48,560
Speaker 3: I mean Russell Wilson in the last couple of years

1261
00:58:48,560 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 3: has not been the Russell Wilson vault. He was a

1262
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:53,720
Speaker 3: great quarterback, he did amazing things in.

1263
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:55,920
Speaker 1: The battles, he won a Super Bowl.

1264
00:58:56,440 --> 00:59:00,560
Speaker 3: Incredible, but he hasn't been that guy has It wasn't

1265
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 3: just not that guy in Denver. He wasn't that guy

1266
00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 3: the last year in Seattle, maybe the last two years

1267
00:59:05,600 --> 00:59:09,000
Speaker 3: in Seattle. So I don't know that he's the safe

1268
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:11,240
Speaker 3: option right now. And then I think with Justin Fields,

1269
00:59:11,760 --> 00:59:14,280
Speaker 3: when you talk about the three series today, yes, it's

1270
00:59:14,320 --> 00:59:17,720
Speaker 3: the preseason, However, should be an opportunity for him to

1271
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 3: show what he's learned, how he's progressed. And on one

1272
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,280
Speaker 3: drive he did and then the others he didn't. So

1273
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 3: I just I feel like it's like a preseason quarterback

1274
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 3: competition for much of his season.

1275
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 2: Now.

1276
00:59:28,880 --> 00:59:31,080
Speaker 3: I think that's really careful because if they look at

1277
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:33,880
Speaker 3: the upside being Justin Fields, I actually think, but they're

1278
00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:36,360
Speaker 3: not sure he's ready, They're better off starting out with

1279
00:59:36,440 --> 00:59:38,640
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson and replacing him with Justin Fields than doing

1280
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:40,040
Speaker 3: it the other way, because you do it the other

1281
00:59:40,080 --> 00:59:41,680
Speaker 3: way and it's basically over for Justin Field.

1282
00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and the Steelers are resilient because of

1283
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: that defense. I mean, Mike Tomlin has never had a

1284
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 1: losing season and it's because of his defenses. And if

1285
00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 1: you look at last year, the Steelers made the playoffs

1286
00:59:52,080 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: with a revolving door at quarterback. I mean you had

1287
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:59,080
Speaker 1: they survived Canny Pikett, Mason Rudolph and Mitch Trubisky all

1288
00:59:59,120 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: in a run.

1289
01:00:00,040 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 2: Them a true bisky part.

1290
01:00:01,280 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 1: Right, I did too. Actually, when I was like doing it,

1291
01:00:03,440 --> 01:00:04,520
Speaker 1: like I was looking back on my notes and I

1292
01:00:04,560 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: was like looking back to Steeler season, I was like, oh,

1293
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:10,000
Speaker 1: that's right, Mitch. They're just taking like the scraps from Chicago.

1294
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:15,200
Speaker 1: But that's all to say. I mean, they survived that.

1295
01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:17,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think that the expectations are for the

1296
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: Steelers to make a super Bowl run even this year.

1297
01:00:19,960 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: No, I mean so, I don't think so, not with

1298
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: either of those guys.

1299
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 1: But I do think that they could still maintain a

1300
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:31,160
Speaker 1: winning season even if you have some variety at quarterback.

1301
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: Shall we say, well, I.

1302
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:34,920
Speaker 2: Like that variety, yeah, but it can't be Here's what.

1303
01:00:34,880 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 3: They can't do. They can't be bouncing them back back

1304
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:38,480
Speaker 3: and forth. No, once they make the decision.

1305
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 2: Once you make it, you make it and you deal

1306
01:00:39,840 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 2: with it.

1307
01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 3: And you if you start with Russ and then you

1308
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,840
Speaker 3: bring Justin fields in week six, no matter what, Justin

1309
01:00:44,880 --> 01:00:45,800
Speaker 3: feel's got to be your guy.

1310
01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:50,160
Speaker 1: I this is something I learned from Bruce Arians. I

1311
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 1: was when I was in Tampa. I was, I was

1312
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: with Tampa for six years. Got was so fortunate to

1313
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,480
Speaker 1: land with an organization that gave us like a ton

1314
01:00:56,520 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 1: of access. I traded in autonomy for what I could

1315
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,240
Speaker 1: write for the access that I had. But what I

1316
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 1: learned I remember Bruce arian saying, is like, if you

1317
01:01:04,600 --> 01:01:09,000
Speaker 1: have two quarterbacks, you have none, right, and that has

1318
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: been the case. And then even going back before Bruce

1319
01:01:11,120 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 1: got there, we saw a quarterback battle between Ryan Fitzpatrick

1320
01:01:14,320 --> 01:01:17,840
Speaker 1: and Jamis Winston where like every time these guys go

1321
01:01:17,880 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 1: out there, they're looking over their shoulders, so they're trying

1322
01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 1: to force plays, they're trying to make like they're not

1323
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:23,840
Speaker 1: playing their brand of football because they're worried about the

1324
01:01:23,840 --> 01:01:26,440
Speaker 1: guy behind them, because they're going in and out and

1325
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 1: like it's not a good situation. So I think you're

1326
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:31,040
Speaker 1: entirely right that if they do make a change, it

1327
01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: has to be permanent no matter what, and you're just

1328
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:35,280
Speaker 1: deciding you're going to ride with Justin Fields the rest

1329
01:01:35,280 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 1: of the time. But it is I honestly don't know

1330
01:01:39,400 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 1: what the like we're talking about the Lesser of two Evils.

1331
01:01:42,200 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 2: And I think they start the season with Russ That's right.

1332
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 3: Yea, they started the season with us, but I feel

1333
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 3: strongly they do not end the season with the rust that.

1334
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:51,960
Speaker 1: It's interesting to me too, because when you talk about

1335
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,200
Speaker 1: like game planning and these guys going out there, like

1336
01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: the first series of a game, like the first fifteen

1337
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 1: plays are always scripted, so you're going out there knowing

1338
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,280
Speaker 1: exactly what you're gonna run, no matter what the defense

1339
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: is doing against you, because that is how coaches see

1340
01:02:06,720 --> 01:02:08,360
Speaker 1: how the other team is gonna play you. And then

1341
01:02:08,360 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 1: that's where you start like the chess match of play

1342
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,120
Speaker 1: calling all this other stuff. So like we've seen Justin

1343
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,880
Speaker 1: Fields be good in those situations when he knows, like

1344
01:02:15,920 --> 01:02:17,320
Speaker 1: he goes out on the field and he knows what

1345
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna do. So I'm like, I'm wondering too, is

1346
01:02:20,800 --> 01:02:23,080
Speaker 1: there a situation where you do have Russell Wilson as

1347
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback, but then you just bring in Justin

1348
01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 1: Fields on some like packages and different plays.

1349
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 2: Taysom Hill situation like it's Taysom Hill situation.

1350
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:31,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is such a dynamic runner and such

1351
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:35,400
Speaker 1: a wonderful athlete that you could throw in some fun

1352
01:02:35,440 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 1: little wrinkles and do an offense using Justin Fields, putting

1353
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,320
Speaker 1: two quarterbacks out there, I mean good or switching him out,

1354
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:43,480
Speaker 1: you know, just like for Russell Wilson and like running

1355
01:02:43,560 --> 01:02:46,360
Speaker 1: basically a wildcat even though he's a quarterback. I don't know.

1356
01:02:46,720 --> 01:02:49,120
Speaker 1: I think there's some interesting fun things to be done.

1357
01:02:49,720 --> 01:02:51,640
Speaker 3: I mean, Michigan did a little bit of that last

1358
01:02:51,680 --> 01:02:55,680
Speaker 3: year with Alex Orgie, who very well, very well, maybe

1359
01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:57,439
Speaker 3: their certain quarterback this year, but they did a little

1360
01:02:57,440 --> 01:02:59,040
Speaker 3: bit of that at times. They take JJ out and

1361
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,320
Speaker 3: put him in for Alex in for those kind of plays.

1362
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 3: But I just I don't know if Pittsburgh's built that way.

1363
01:03:04,040 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 3: I also know if Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are

1364
01:03:06,480 --> 01:03:08,240
Speaker 3: built that way and the whole other thing.

1365
01:03:08,320 --> 01:03:10,160
Speaker 1: Doesn't the defense kind of insulate to you against your

1366
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:13,600
Speaker 1: offensive performance anyway to a point I don't know. Well,

1367
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:16,640
Speaker 1: somebody who insulates our offensive performance. That's Brian Finley, and

1368
01:03:16,640 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna go do an update break.

1369
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:19,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, hey, what is going on.

1370
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:22,720
Speaker 8: We've got NFL as you've been talking about college football

1371
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 8: as well. Georgia Tech winning a stunt or twenty four

1372
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,160
Speaker 8: to twenty one against number ten Florida State and week zero,

1373
01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,600
Speaker 8: dj Uungala Lay, the quarterback for Florida State, had one

1374
01:03:32,680 --> 01:03:34,480
Speaker 8: hundred and ninety three yards passing.

1375
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,080
Speaker 9: But Carmen and In Tracy I was pointing this out.

1376
01:03:38,160 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 8: I saw this, and it was thirteen of ujungal Lay's

1377
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 8: nineteen completions were thrown five yards or less.

1378
01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:46,880
Speaker 9: Oh down the field. That's probably not a good stature.

1379
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:47,880
Speaker 4: Should that?

1380
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, yeah, you have to separate air yards. That's

1381
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:52,200
Speaker 1: what you have to do. You have to separate air

1382
01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:54,920
Speaker 1: yards like what these guys are actually doing, because then

1383
01:03:54,920 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it's just your receivers at that point.

1384
01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, well said.

1385
01:03:57,120 --> 01:03:58,640
Speaker 8: And it was a forty one yard field goal that

1386
01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 8: won things at the end of the fourth quarter for

1387
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 8: Georgia Tech. Mike Norvell and his team, the number ten

1388
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:08,080
Speaker 8: right team in the country, served in l to the forehead. Also,

1389
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 8: I think that's a reference to some sort of song

1390
01:04:10,920 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 8: that we might.

1391
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Have growing up.

1392
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, that was I was probably like, what fifth sixth grade.

1393
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 8: I can't even remember what year that game.

1394
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:25,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, honestly, All Star cod All Star Yeah wow yeah

1395
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:26,600
Speaker 1: on our forehead.

1396
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 8: Yeah yeah, yeah, that's that's one of the greatest songs

1397
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:33,440
Speaker 8: for you. Yeah, the childhood that we all hope to

1398
01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 8: have and had. So we had that game obviously going on,

1399
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:40,840
Speaker 8: but we also had other ones. One involving this New

1400
01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 8: Mexico squad. They are up in a contest that can

1401
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 8: be seen right now on FS one. New Mexico is

1402
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:52,560
Speaker 8: taking on Montana State and right now it is twenty

1403
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:55,560
Speaker 8: four to fourteen New Mexico over Montana SY late in

1404
01:04:55,600 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 8: the second quarter. That one is a game that you

1405
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:02,600
Speaker 8: can watch on our sister station F one. NFL preseason,

1406
01:05:02,680 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 8: let's go there. Mike Tomlin's saying that he is going

1407
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 8: to be naming a starting quarterback at the end of

1408
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 8: next week, and from what I'm hearing from you two,

1409
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 8: it sounds like you're not so sure about it.

1410
01:05:13,080 --> 01:05:15,120
Speaker 1: I know, I think that they've already made that sense,

1411
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:17,640
Speaker 1: you think they I just think it's Russell Wilson already. Yeah,

1412
01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: whether or not Fields ends up coming in later in

1413
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:21,440
Speaker 1: the season, but I think they're gonna roll with.

1414
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:24,439
Speaker 8: Russ speaking to Russ as far as his numbers today

1415
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 8: in their preseason game, have lost twenty four to seventeen

1416
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 8: to the Lions.

1417
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 9: Two for two twenty six yards. That was it.

1418
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 8: And then you put in Justin Fields in next limited

1419
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 8: duty three of four completions, two attempts, forty yards.

1420
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 9: He was sacked twice. Right now, there.

1421
01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:44,720
Speaker 8: Is a Charger Cowboy game. It's seventeen to three and

1422
01:05:44,760 --> 01:05:47,040
Speaker 8: at the two minute warning in the second quarter, seventeen

1423
01:05:47,080 --> 01:05:50,320
Speaker 8: to three Chargers over the Cowboys. Easton Stick has a

1424
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:52,840
Speaker 8: touchdown throw, the only so de caller to play in

1425
01:05:52,840 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 8: this game so far for Los Angeles, and Trey Lance

1426
01:05:55,240 --> 01:05:58,400
Speaker 8: has been getting sole quarterback duties for Dallas eleven of

1427
01:05:58,480 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 8: seventeen through the year, eighty eight yards as a pick

1428
01:06:01,440 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 8: and a sack. Bryce Young threw a touchdown pass and

1429
01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 8: limited duty played just the opening series for the Panthers

1430
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 8: in their thirty one to twenty six preseason win over

1431
01:06:10,680 --> 01:06:14,439
Speaker 8: the Bills. Also, we had other games that were going

1432
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 8: on as well in the world of NFL preseason that

1433
01:06:18,320 --> 01:06:23,200
Speaker 8: would include we mentioned the Chargers game against they're taking

1434
01:06:23,240 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 8: on the Cowboys, and also the Ravens coming up with

1435
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:29,360
Speaker 8: a loss thirty to seven.

1436
01:06:29,840 --> 01:06:33,080
Speaker 9: Yeah, thirty to seven. The Ravens lose by way of

1437
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 9: the Packers.

1438
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:35,520
Speaker 8: And I'll throw this right back at you here now,

1439
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:42,080
Speaker 8: Tracy Carmen, the punter stout the last name, sixty nine

1440
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:45,520
Speaker 8: yard punt. He averaged over sixty yards in punting, so

1441
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 8: not a bad weapon to have. And you know it's

1442
01:06:47,720 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 8: preseason when I mentioned punting stats.

1443
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,400
Speaker 1: No, I know that's true. But special teams is gonna

1444
01:06:52,440 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: be It's gonna be important. It's gonna be im portant

1445
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:56,480
Speaker 1: this year, especially with the new kickoff rules.

1446
01:06:56,640 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 3: Can I give a fun fact about the Chargers Cowboys game?

1447
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,920
Speaker 3: Maybe not East and Stick versus Trey lance Er, two

1448
01:07:01,920 --> 01:07:04,600
Speaker 3: of the best quarterbacks to come out of North Dakota State.

1449
01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,440
Speaker 1: There's your go see and their bouts go to half time.

1450
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 1: It's actually twenty to ten. Now, looks at the Cowboys scored.

1451
01:07:12,160 --> 01:07:15,040
Speaker 1: And now that we're talking cowboys, who better to bring

1452
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:18,560
Speaker 1: on than our wonderful friend, friend of the program, friend

1453
01:07:18,560 --> 01:07:22,640
Speaker 1: of mine, friend of Tracy's, David Hellman, Fox Sports insider

1454
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: hopest of the NFL on Fox podcast regularly appears on

1455
01:07:26,160 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 1: FS one's programming and Will Dave, how's it going?

1456
01:07:32,320 --> 01:07:35,120
Speaker 7: It's going great? Y'all. I'm just you know, watching some

1457
01:07:35,680 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 7: Cowboys Chargers third preseason game football, Like what could be

1458
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 7: better than that?

1459
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 3: Really?

1460
01:07:40,320 --> 01:07:40,680
Speaker 2: Nothing?

1461
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:43,520
Speaker 1: We were we were joking about how like just we're

1462
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:46,200
Speaker 1: all sickos. If you watch the third weekend of the preseason,

1463
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,080
Speaker 1: you're just a straight up sicco even and.

1464
01:07:49,040 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 7: Like I am a sicko. But like even in third

1465
01:07:52,320 --> 01:07:55,080
Speaker 7: preseason game, like five snaps into the game, you're like,

1466
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 7: what am I doing here? Like?

1467
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,240
Speaker 1: Why? Why? Why? I know? I was like I saying

1468
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:02,920
Speaker 1: earlier that I was excited to watch the Steelers game

1469
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 1: just because I wanted to see who they trotted out

1470
01:08:04,800 --> 01:08:07,320
Speaker 1: first as far as quarterbacks go, and what could be

1471
01:08:07,360 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 1: gleaned from that. I'm just like, oh god, what I

1472
01:08:09,680 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: need to rebellion in my life? Anyway, I'm sure that

1473
01:08:12,880 --> 01:08:16,439
Speaker 1: you've had that notion quite a few times covering the

1474
01:08:16,479 --> 01:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys, a team you know, well, a team that

1475
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:24,640
Speaker 1: you worked for for a decade. What do you do

1476
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:26,200
Speaker 1: you think that Trey Lance is playing this whole game

1477
01:08:26,240 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: or do you think he's not? They bench him after halftime,

1478
01:08:29,360 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: and what have they seen from him up until this point?

1479
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 1: Do they feel comfortable with him in his backup role?

1480
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:37,679
Speaker 7: I think he'll go the whole way, and I applaud

1481
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 7: Big Cowboys for that. I mean, they said it as

1482
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:42,559
Speaker 7: far back as the spring. Their goal was to just

1483
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,680
Speaker 7: get Trey Lance as many reps as humanly possible. I mean,

1484
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 7: he's just a guy that has not played a lot

1485
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:51,320
Speaker 7: of NFL football. I do. I guess you always reserve

1486
01:08:51,400 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 7: the right to be wrong, but I closed the book

1487
01:08:54,080 --> 01:08:58,439
Speaker 7: on Trey being the backup quarterback pretty early in camp.

1488
01:08:58,520 --> 01:09:00,680
Speaker 7: You know, he still looks like a that has a

1489
01:09:00,720 --> 01:09:03,040
Speaker 7: lot that he needs to do. I think Cooper Rush

1490
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 7: will be there back up, but Jerry Jones did say

1491
01:09:06,400 --> 01:09:10,360
Speaker 7: he already thinks or he's already decided that Trey Lance

1492
01:09:10,439 --> 01:09:13,360
Speaker 7: is going to be on the fifty three. So he'll

1493
01:09:13,360 --> 01:09:15,680
Speaker 7: get to stick around and continue to develop. I'll give

1494
01:09:15,760 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 7: him this. He looks better in Week three than he

1495
01:09:18,080 --> 01:09:21,800
Speaker 7: did in Week one, but just a lot of a

1496
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 7: lot of experience still needs to be gained, and I

1497
01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:26,240
Speaker 7: think he's going to get some of it by playing

1498
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 7: the rest of his preseason game.

1499
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:30,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I just I think the thing with Trey Lance,

1500
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: it's unfortunate, is that he's probably not going to get

1501
01:09:32,920 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 2: a lot of it past this preseason game, and so

1502
01:09:35,360 --> 01:09:37,600
Speaker 2: will he ever truly be able to develop? That is

1503
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 2: the question?

1504
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 7: Yeah, for sure, And you guys know as well as

1505
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,800
Speaker 7: I do. Once the regular season starts here, you're looking

1506
01:09:44,840 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 7: at getting like one or two reps per practice the

1507
01:09:47,320 --> 01:09:49,720
Speaker 7: rest of the way. So yeah, I mean, he's he's

1508
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:53,639
Speaker 7: going to hit free agency without being a finished product.

1509
01:09:53,720 --> 01:09:57,920
Speaker 7: So I'm rooting for the guy, but it's going to

1510
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:00,599
Speaker 7: be an uphill battle for him to ever pay off

1511
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,759
Speaker 7: that draft slot. I would say, Well, we.

1512
01:10:02,600 --> 01:10:06,600
Speaker 1: Were talking earlier about Brandon Ayuk, Trent Williams, guys that

1513
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:11,719
Speaker 1: are holding out, slash holding in for the Niners. Cowboys

1514
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 1: have a drama of their own. When do they not

1515
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:19,760
Speaker 1: always always of Ceedee Lamb gunning to be probably the

1516
01:10:19,840 --> 01:10:25,160
Speaker 1: highest paid wide receiver in the league. When are they

1517
01:10:25,200 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: getting this deal done? Are they getting this deal done?

1518
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,799
Speaker 1: Obviously they have to think if they're trying to resign

1519
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott, that's gonna cost money. They need to get

1520
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:36,200
Speaker 1: a new deal for Micah that's gonna cost money. What

1521
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:39,200
Speaker 1: are they doing? Why? How is this deal getting done

1522
01:10:39,240 --> 01:10:41,000
Speaker 1: before before the season starts? Are they just going to

1523
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:45,640
Speaker 1: force a really grumpy uh ceed Lamb to play on

1524
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,320
Speaker 1: the last year of his contract.

1525
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,280
Speaker 7: What are they doing is such a perfect question for

1526
01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 7: the Dallas Cowboys at I.

1527
01:10:51,760 --> 01:10:52,920
Speaker 2: Never it should be their sled.

1528
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:57,000
Speaker 7: I never, I never know the answer to that, But

1529
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:00,000
Speaker 7: I do, I do have I do know the Cowboys press.

1530
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:02,120
Speaker 7: Then I know the way that these things go for

1531
01:11:02,200 --> 01:11:05,799
Speaker 7: the Cowboys. And look, there are two types of Cowboy deals.

1532
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:10,200
Speaker 7: One where the player is willing to slot in at

1533
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:12,720
Speaker 7: not the top of the market, and that deal will

1534
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 7: get done and the Cowboys are happy to pay those guys.

1535
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 7: And then there are the players that want the top

1536
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:21,040
Speaker 7: of the market. They want to be highest paid, they

1537
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,960
Speaker 7: want to have the most guarantees, the highest salary, and

1538
01:11:24,120 --> 01:11:28,000
Speaker 7: these deals drag out and become dramatic distractions. We've seen

1539
01:11:28,040 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 7: it with Dak Prescott. We've seen it with Zeke Elliott.

1540
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,639
Speaker 7: We've seen it with DeMarcus Lawrence in the past. Zach Martin,

1541
01:11:35,400 --> 01:11:37,599
Speaker 7: ye Zach Martin was another one last year.

1542
01:11:37,640 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: We're in an offensive lineman advocate for himself and made

1543
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:42,320
Speaker 1: it dramatic.

1544
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:48,000
Speaker 7: But the common theme is that when push comes to shove,

1545
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 7: the Cowboys cave and you know it feels you know,

1546
01:11:51,840 --> 01:11:54,719
Speaker 7: we're playing the final preseason games this weekend. It feels

1547
01:11:54,760 --> 01:11:57,439
Speaker 7: like football is right around the corner, but there are

1548
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 7: still fifteen days until the Cowboy Aways have to play

1549
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 7: the Cleveland Browns. I know that's not a long time

1550
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,240
Speaker 7: in the grand scheme of things, right, but it does

1551
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,200
Speaker 7: probably give them ten more days to resolve this. Now.

1552
01:12:08,600 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 7: Do I think it's a good idea to sign Ceedee

1553
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 7: Lamb the week of the season opener and then you've

1554
01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:16,000
Speaker 7: got to worry about his conditioning heading into a game

1555
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:17,960
Speaker 7: against one of the best defenses in the league.

1556
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:21,679
Speaker 1: No, I think that's a terrible idea, But that's.

1557
01:12:21,479 --> 01:12:24,280
Speaker 7: The that's the reality that the Cowboys have put themselves in.

1558
01:12:24,520 --> 01:12:27,280
Speaker 7: I fully expect CD to sign, it might not come

1559
01:12:27,360 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 7: until the calendar flips to September. I don't know why

1560
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 7: the Cowboys insist on doing things this way, but but

1561
01:12:34,040 --> 01:12:36,280
Speaker 7: like we said, it's it's always a circus with these guys.

1562
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,759
Speaker 2: Boo signs first, Brandon Auk or Ceedee Lamb.

1563
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,719
Speaker 7: Oh Oh my god, Tracy, can you can you shed

1564
01:12:42,760 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 7: some light on it?

1565
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 2: I mean, I I think get Brandon.

1566
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 3: I you've done, because if Ceedee Lamb has some monster contract,

1567
01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 3: then the four Ninitars are like then they're going to

1568
01:12:52,479 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 3: have to cave even more than they're already gonna have to.

1569
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,719
Speaker 1: Gave, Like, how these these two contracts going to affect

1570
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: each other?

1571
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,120
Speaker 2: Niners should get this done. A stap.

1572
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,880
Speaker 7: History leads me to think, like, I just feel like

1573
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 7: the I use situation's got to come to a head soon,

1574
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,599
Speaker 7: because eventually the Steelers are going to pull their trade

1575
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 7: off or off the table, and if they do that,

1576
01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,519
Speaker 7: then I you might have lost all of his leverage

1577
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 7: and eventually just has to sign the deal that's on

1578
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:19,280
Speaker 7: the table if he wants to get a raised. So

1579
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,720
Speaker 7: I feel like I've been expecting to wake up to

1580
01:13:22,800 --> 01:13:26,280
Speaker 7: the news that I you signed for two weeks. Same,

1581
01:13:26,400 --> 01:13:29,439
Speaker 7: But I really, I really feel like it's coming sometime

1582
01:13:29,479 --> 01:13:31,200
Speaker 7: in the next two or three days hopefully.

1583
01:13:31,439 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 2: Oh, I really really hope you're right.

1584
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,280
Speaker 3: As someone who wakes up every day waiting for the

1585
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 3: news to see what her day will look like based

1586
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:39,479
Speaker 3: on what the weather or not the news come right,

1587
01:13:39,800 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 3: I very much agree with you on that let's get

1588
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 3: this done.

1589
01:13:43,840 --> 01:13:45,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, BA signed, bau.

1590
01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: I know, I guess like I hadn't really taken the

1591
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,519
Speaker 1: time to think about the fact that, you know, one

1592
01:13:50,560 --> 01:13:51,960
Speaker 1: of these guys might be waiting for the other end.

1593
01:13:51,960 --> 01:13:54,160
Speaker 1: They're like playing chicken, but just like in a fun way.

1594
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,000
Speaker 1: They're both like, Oh, I'm gonna sign when you signed, bro,

1595
01:13:57,479 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 1: it's possible. It's possible, Dave. Like the thing with Dak

1596
01:14:02,800 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 1: Prescott in Dallas is I and I think you and

1597
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: I have had this conversation before. I think that because

1598
01:14:10,360 --> 01:14:14,320
Speaker 1: the deal isn't done yet, there isn't a deal getting done,

1599
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:16,360
Speaker 1: like he is going to hit free agency. That doesn't

1600
01:14:16,400 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 1: necessarily like throw the Cowboys out of the running, but

1601
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,679
Speaker 1: like I feel like he's gonna end up subjecting Dallas

1602
01:14:23,720 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: then to the market and being like, all right, if

1603
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:28,800
Speaker 1: you want me, you're gonna have to outbid all these

1604
01:14:28,800 --> 01:14:31,200
Speaker 1: other teams that are undoubtedly going to be in the

1605
01:14:31,240 --> 01:14:32,320
Speaker 1: running for his services.

1606
01:14:33,560 --> 01:14:35,800
Speaker 7: You can never say for sure, And like the minute

1607
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:39,040
Speaker 7: I definitively say something, altee, you know, when it happens,

1608
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:40,840
Speaker 7: that's just the way it goes. But I really I

1609
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,280
Speaker 7: get the feeling that Dak was open to the idea

1610
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,559
Speaker 7: of an extension before training camp, and maybe even in

1611
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:49,960
Speaker 7: the early going of training camp. But now that we're

1612
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 7: you know, now at the regular seasons in sight, Dak

1613
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 7: Prescott worked really hard to have the leverage that he had.

1614
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 7: You know, he got tagged and he played on it.

1615
01:14:58,160 --> 01:15:01,080
Speaker 7: He came back from that injury. Part of the reason

1616
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:04,439
Speaker 7: that his initial contract extension went on for so long

1617
01:15:04,560 --> 01:15:07,800
Speaker 7: the negotiation was because he fought tooth and nail to

1618
01:15:07,840 --> 01:15:10,200
Speaker 7: have a no tag clause and a no trade clause

1619
01:15:10,200 --> 01:15:13,960
Speaker 7: in his deal. So it seems counterintuitive to me for

1620
01:15:14,080 --> 01:15:17,720
Speaker 7: an all Pro quarterback to throw that leverage away by

1621
01:15:17,800 --> 01:15:20,120
Speaker 7: signing a deal before the start of the season. So yeah,

1622
01:15:20,160 --> 01:15:23,439
Speaker 7: I mean, as it stands right now, I feel ninety

1623
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:26,559
Speaker 7: eight percent sure that Dak's going to play this season

1624
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,439
Speaker 7: on his current deal. And yeah, and we'll see what happens.

1625
01:15:29,479 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 7: I mean, if he leads the Cowboys deeper into the playoffs,

1626
01:15:33,439 --> 01:15:36,719
Speaker 7: then they've been thirty years, then maybe they'll throw caution

1627
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:38,880
Speaker 7: to the wind and say, all right, here's a blank check.

1628
01:15:38,920 --> 01:15:41,479
Speaker 7: Whatever you want, you got it. But if he doesn't,

1629
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,840
Speaker 7: then then I think we are set up for a

1630
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:46,519
Speaker 7: heck of a bidding war in March of next year,

1631
01:15:46,600 --> 01:15:50,400
Speaker 7: and maybe the Cowboys can keep him, or maybe there

1632
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,639
Speaker 7: will be five or six other teams that would really

1633
01:15:52,680 --> 01:15:56,360
Speaker 7: like to have an all Pro quarterback. It's the most

1634
01:15:56,400 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 7: fascinating storyline in the NFL just because it's so rare

1635
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:01,200
Speaker 7: and stop thinking about it.

1636
01:16:01,120 --> 01:16:04,000
Speaker 1: And the Cowboys only have themselves to blame. But Dave,

1637
01:16:04,080 --> 01:16:06,400
Speaker 1: thank you so much for coming on and joining us,

1638
01:16:06,479 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: because I feel like you're on the show a lot.

1639
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:09,760
Speaker 1: But hey, you know what, there's always so much to

1640
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: talk about with the Dallas Cowboys. So I have a

1641
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 1: great rest of your weekend.

1642
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:16,439
Speaker 7: Happy to do it all anytime, and.

1643
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: Happy college start of college football. Let's go go Jackets, Jackets.

1644
01:16:23,920 --> 01:16:26,799
Speaker 1: That was Dave Hellman, Fox Sports in the NFL Insider,

1645
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:30,040
Speaker 1: hosts of the NFL on Fox podcast. When we come back,

1646
01:16:30,479 --> 01:16:33,920
Speaker 1: we have the feel good story of the week. You're

1647
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: listening to Fox Sports Radio. I don't even want to like,

1648
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: I don't even want to start talking. I just want

1649
01:16:39,040 --> 01:16:40,879
Speaker 1: to keep going. Let's go, Chris.

1650
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 11: Unfortunately, it is our job to talk. I know, not dance.

1651
01:16:46,800 --> 01:16:49,439
Speaker 11: I know it's not official media, but we could dance.

1652
01:16:49,760 --> 01:16:52,320
Speaker 1: It used to it used to be my job to dance.

1653
01:16:52,680 --> 01:16:55,040
Speaker 1: It was the dancer growing up. Love it, Thank you.

1654
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:58,280
Speaker 1: It is a party here on Fox Sports Radio. Karmavitally

1655
01:16:58,400 --> 01:17:02,120
Speaker 1: in for Alex Curry. Such a great afternoon with Tracy

1656
01:17:02,160 --> 01:17:06,280
Speaker 1: Sandler Fangirls Sportsnet. She's second week in a row, just

1657
01:17:06,680 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 1: first one off the bench. We just love having her here.

1658
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:11,400
Speaker 1: Alex Is at a wedding, So we've been hanging out

1659
01:17:11,439 --> 01:17:14,559
Speaker 1: all afternoon with you guys. Thank you so much for listening.

1660
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:17,479
Speaker 1: Thank you so much our producers for a great show,

1661
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 1: Thank you for the vibes. And now to keep the

1662
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:23,040
Speaker 1: vibes going, the feel good vibes go. We've got our

1663
01:17:23,080 --> 01:17:25,600
Speaker 1: feel good story of the week. We like that, we

1664
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:32,000
Speaker 1: love it. It's a two parter for me. So there

1665
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:37,439
Speaker 1: was the initial interview. USA flag football quarterback Darryl Dustt

1666
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 1: talked about so flag football is being out of the

1667
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 1: Olympics in twenty twenty eight while it's here in the

1668
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 1: US amazing, right. He was like, I don't think that

1669
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:51,560
Speaker 1: it's fair that these NFL guys are just assuming that

1670
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: they're going to come in and beyond the roster, like

1671
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,640
Speaker 1: that's just that's he you know, talked about how it's

1672
01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,080
Speaker 1: a different game, and it's true. I mean there's different

1673
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: rules that it is. It's a completely different game. The

1674
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: rise of seven on seven two in the developmental leagues

1675
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,599
Speaker 1: and like, as you know, the youth leagues two, it's

1676
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 1: just a different kind of football. But what I thought

1677
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:14,320
Speaker 1: was hysterical was then this guy, like I love the

1678
01:18:14,360 --> 01:18:16,840
Speaker 1: irrational confidence, and that's why this is the feel good story,

1679
01:18:16,840 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: because like, if you're good at what you do, like

1680
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: you just need to think that you're the best. That's true,

1681
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:25,479
Speaker 1: and clearly Darryl Jussette does because then he said that

1682
01:18:25,520 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 1: he thinks he's better than Patrick Mahomes.

1683
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,479
Speaker 2: But you know what, in fairness, I have not seen

1684
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:32,960
Speaker 2: him play.

1685
01:18:33,240 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 1: No, that's sure, that's a thousand. Maybe he is. He

1686
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:38,280
Speaker 1: is the Patrick Mahomes of the USA Flag football. But

1687
01:18:38,320 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: what was the funniest part of all of this was

1688
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: then Patrick Mahomes got a hold of this video of

1689
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:46,280
Speaker 1: him saying of Daryl saying that he's better, and Patrick

1690
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 1: Mahomes like quote tweets it with the fifty cent like me,

1691
01:18:49,680 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: what me? Like, Giff, you haven't seen it, go check

1692
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:55,360
Speaker 1: it out on Twitter slash X. I thought it was

1693
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: good natured fun, and I do think that there's gonna

1694
01:18:58,160 --> 01:19:00,800
Speaker 1: be some fun kind of dynamics around all of this

1695
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:03,880
Speaker 1: once it comes time for that team to be picked

1696
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,600
Speaker 1: to represent Team USA in the Flag Football.

1697
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 3: Olympics, and it's it is the Summer Olympics. Yes, yeah,

1698
01:19:10,080 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 3: so that will well. Also interesting is that we'll conflict

1699
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,679
Speaker 3: with training camps, right, so that will be kind of interesting.

1700
01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,360
Speaker 3: And let me tell you who would be like really

1701
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 3: mad if Patrick mahomes, like God forbid, tore his ACL

1702
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,559
Speaker 3: in the Summer Olympics and the Chiefs would have a

1703
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,800
Speaker 3: they would not be happy. So it'll be interesting to

1704
01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 3: see how all of this gets navigated. But when you

1705
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 3: ring up Patrick Mahone's Twitter X, I also just want

1706
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,360
Speaker 3: to give him credit. He's really good on social He

1707
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 3: is really good on He's really good on social. He's

1708
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,559
Speaker 3: good in the commercials, but he's really good on social.

1709
01:19:38,600 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 3: He It's fun It's rare that.

1710
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,600
Speaker 1: You see a guy like at his level, who is

1711
01:19:41,800 --> 01:19:44,719
Speaker 1: unquestionably the best quarterback in the league right now, also

1712
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:48,320
Speaker 1: be a participant in Yeah so on social media and like, honestly,

1713
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:51,920
Speaker 1: Kayleb Williams is really funny. I feel like all these

1714
01:19:51,960 --> 01:19:54,479
Speaker 1: young guys coming out of college who are used to

1715
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 1: kind of having the brand deals and ail and all

1716
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,760
Speaker 1: the other stuff like balancing social media with everything, Like

1717
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: gone are the days where it is frowned upon to

1718
01:20:01,880 --> 01:20:04,080
Speaker 1: like talk on social media if you're an athlete, Like, now,

1719
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 1: this is just a second language to these guys.

1720
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how they've lived their lives. Yes, that's how

1721
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 3: they've talked to their friends. Like they just talk to

1722
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,840
Speaker 3: their friends on Snapchat, they don't text. Like it's a

1723
01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:12,200
Speaker 3: whole thing.

1724
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:13,519
Speaker 1: Now it is a whole thing, and I think it

1725
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: gives us a glimpse into their personalities, and it gives

1726
01:20:17,080 --> 01:20:19,120
Speaker 1: us a glimpse into like who they are as people,

1727
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: which I think is always a good thing. I agreed,

1728
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 1: But you're right, this whole how the flag Football's football

1729
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 1: team is going to be decided on when it's going

1730
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:29,240
Speaker 1: to come up against training camp, It's gonna be very interesting.

1731
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:31,040
Speaker 1: I can't imagine that the NFL is going to let

1732
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,040
Speaker 1: like their top guys take that injury risk or do

1733
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:34,639
Speaker 1: any of that.

1734
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:35,280
Speaker 2: No chance.

1735
01:20:35,760 --> 01:20:38,280
