00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: in the preseason of the NBA, right because I'm on

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: a long shot heater, right, long shot heater, I said,

35
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Colts in the in the spring when they got Daniel Jones,

36
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: I said he's gonna win the job. Colts long shot

37
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: super Bowl team. Look where they are, right, No.

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 4: You're feeling pretty good right now, feeling good? You're looking

00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 4: oh absolutely? But but am I looking to win the bet?

41
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 4: Am I looking to make money on it?

42
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 3: Right? There was? It was a moneymaker, money maker.

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: Before the NBA season began, I gave you a West

44
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Coast sant Ant Spurs, watch out. Wemby's going to become

45
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: the best player in the game. So far, things are

46
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: okay for They've lost a couple of things are okay

47
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: for the Spurs. Who did I give you in the

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference at fifty to one, I said, watch out

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: for the Detroit Pistons, young putting it together. Still not

50
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: healthy yet they weren't healthy last year. They have now

51
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: won nine in a row after tonight. They know how

52
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: to get it done on NBA Cup Night. This is

53
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: not a Pistons team that shows up on the NBA

54
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: Cup Night and says, yeah, we're mailing it in, No.

55
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,119
Speaker 3: No, No.

56
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: Nine in a row for the Pistons, first place in

57
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. It has been some sort of start

58
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: to the season for the Pistons.

59
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: Detroit Basketball eleven and two, seven and one at home.

60
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 4: He had a big effort from Maxi thirty one points

61
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 4: in a losing effort, two of eleven from three point range,

62
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 4: thirteen of thirty one from the field. Yeah, you're you're

63
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,120
Speaker 4: looking at a an overall effort for this Piston squad.

64
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: They play balance basketball. They got some good bench work

65
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 4: from Stuart and LeVert. Both had fourteen off the bend. So, yeah,

66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 4: you got your Detroit prediction. Didn't you predict them to

67
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 4: go really far like three years ago?

68
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: Though? Right that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter.

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 4: Because I mean, you got banned from the Greater Detroit area.

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. But now I'm back.

71
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: But now I'm back because I told Tay Pistons, hey

72
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: long shot fifty to one going to the finals.

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 3: Git ready? You know what? The best story out of

74
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,919
Speaker 3: the NBA.

75
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 4: And by the way, Steph Curry with a couple of

76
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 4: free throws late to take down Wemby in the nightcap

77
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 4: on Prime again, one of those you know you've got

78
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: to have all a giant scorecard for where you can

79
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 4: watch games on this hallowed Cup night. But the best

80
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: story from the NBA came from rookie Kinneppel. He had

81
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: his entire team over for a pasta dinner last night,

82
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 4: so mom and everybody welcomed them to the house.

83
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: Well, and he had a big night tonight. So I

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: think he's got to have people overevery. You gotta have

85
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: possas inners every night.

86
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 4: Seems like that, right, They went old school, like you

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: were on a traveling baseball team or high school squad.

88
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 4: Hey dinners at their house, and so he was all

89
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 4: excited to have everybody in his house.

90
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna show you my old room.

91
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: Look at the posters I have at you guys, I

92
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: was up there. I gotta post you up in this room.

93
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: Look at my fat heeadh. So again we got more

94
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: basketball on the way later on this hour again NBA

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: Cup Night, Pete.

96
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: Some teams know how to get it done.

97
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 1: But football Friday continues and a couple of big games.

98
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna take a look at the biggest game of

99
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: the two best teams in the NFL squaring off against

100
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: each other this week, but a game on Sunday that

101
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,479
Speaker 1: has ramifications much much deeper than wins losses, And it

102
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: comes to the point of this is gonna wind up

103
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,600
Speaker 1: being the next coach getting fired in the NFL. We

104
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: told you going into last week, Raheem Morris. If the

105
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 1: Falcons lay an absolute egg overseas against Colts, he's done.

106
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 1: Because this offense is too talented to be this bad. Right,

107
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: They've only scored thirteen more points in the Saints. Right,

108
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,239
Speaker 1: They're too good to be this bad, right, Pennix Junior.

109
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: You gotta figure out a way, London, Bijon Robinson, Kyle Pitts.

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: There's too much talent on this team for them to

111
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: be this bad offensively. But they didn't get killed last week.

112
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: It wasn't embarrassing, so he lives to fight another day.

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: But ah, here's the thing.

114
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: After the Penis Junior controversy this week, man, he might

115
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: this might be his final game. You had Penix in

116
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: an interview setting say that he doesn't get any help

117
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: from anybody.

118
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:47,600
Speaker 3: Right.

119
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: He was asked, hey, who gives you advice? Who helps

120
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: you out with stuff when you need to talk about

121
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: football stuff right on the field stuff, And he said, yeah,

122
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 1: nobody really talks to me about that, Like I talked

123
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: to my fiance. Some coaches call me whoa, whoa? The

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 1: coaches the Atlanta Falcons coaches don't call you. They don't

125
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: they don't help you. Wait a minute, Wait a minute,

126
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,799
Speaker 1: this is a pretty big deal this week and now today.

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: Raheem Morris, head coach of the Falcons, stepped up and

128
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: gave a ridiculous statement by saying that the misrepresented comments

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 1: by Michael Pennock Junior make this situation into a joke.

130
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:24,599
Speaker 1: Like wait, misrepresented. He said, nobody gives him help. They said,

131
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: who helps you? He said, nobody gives me help. Morris saying, quote,

132
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: stop looking for stuff on a young man. You don't

133
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: need this stuff on him. It is what it is. Uh, okay,

134
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: time out. Nobody's looking for stuff on Michael Pennock Junior.

135
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: And I think Raheem Morris knows this. How do I

136
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: tilt this away from the spotlight being on me? Because

137
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,480
Speaker 1: this is on the head coach. When the quarterback says

138
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 1: I don't get help from people, Hey, head coach, why

139
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: are you not helping him? And here's Raheem Morris doing

140
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 1: the ridiculous Oh what are you doing to Michael Pennock shooting?

141
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 3: No?

142
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: He said that completely unprompted. Unprompted, he said, no one

143
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: else helps me. Now, whatever the controversy is, I expected

144
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: this week, Okay, Michael Pennix is going to say something

145
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: and the Falcons will say something. When Penix was asked

146
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,280
Speaker 1: about it to practice today, he refused to talk about it,

147
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: didn't want to say anything on camera, just said, you

148
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: know what, everyone on the Falcons facility knows the truth.

149
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 3: That's it.

150
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: And then it was Morris and the coaches who had

151
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: to say we talked to him all the time. Again,

152
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: what are the coaches said? I talked to I talked

153
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: to him more than I talked to my wife, So

154
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean I don't talk about We talked to Michael

155
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: Penix Junior all the time. You can you can feel

156
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: the panic in Atlanta with this statement, right, you can

157
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: feel it. He had a chance to tamp down something

158
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: that he started and he declined.

159
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 3: To do so.

160
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: How much security do you really think Raheem Morris has

161
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: they lose to the to the Panthers this week in

162
00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: a in a year where hey, there's not a lot

163
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: of there's not a lot of strength at the bottom

164
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: of the playoff picture right now in the NFC, it's

165
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: really top heavy, the top three, fourteens, but you have

166
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: those last couple of wild cards. Yeah, you would have

167
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: seven losses, but you know, hey at the Cowboys at

168
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: three and five, at three, five and one, can hey

169
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: we're in the playoff.

170
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 3: You can still be in that playoff, in that playoff run.

171
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that he makes it past this week

172
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 1: if they lose to the to the Panthers and their

173
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: lack of offense, and it's somebody else coaching and it's

174
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: a different just a different voice, a different direction forward

175
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: for the Falcons. Yeah, they'd probably make the move at

176
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 1: the end of this year. But you don't have to

177
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 1: give the rest of the season away, like it's still

178
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: there for you because you look at those teams that

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 1: at five, six seven records in the NFC, it's not great.

180
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 1: You still have you still have a long way left

181
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: to get to ten and seven or nine and eight

182
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: and get it. Nine and eight might get you in

183
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: in the NFC this year. So yeah, if you're looking

184
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: at who's the next guy that could be let go, Yeah,

185
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: especially after this week, it's Raheem.

186
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 4: Morris Falcons three and a half point favorites at home

187
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 4: forty two and a half your total. Carolina won the

188
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 4: first matchup thirty to nothing at this point, even though

189
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: he was limited in capacity the first couple of weeks

190
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 4: splitting time with Chuba Hubbard. At this point, Rico Dwell

191
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 4: has more rushing yards than Vijon Robinson. Just kind of

192
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 4: throw that out there for you, and I think about

193
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 4: this situation. Remember the Susan Ross episode the Foundation on

194
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: Seinfeld Wick Fayer as played by Bruce Davison, and Costanza's

195
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: trying to make his argument for why the kids should

196
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 4: get the scholarship. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, and he goes,

197
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 4: these aren't standardized tests, these are as great.

198
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 3: That's kind of what I feel is happening here, like

199
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 3: nobody's you know, reading.

200
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:41,400
Speaker 4: Into alleged statement. Third part, you know, playing a game

201
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: of telephone. Michael Pennick's junior stood in front of a

202
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 4: microphone and had those quotes when asked who he leans

203
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 4: into and who provides support. Didn't talk about Zach Robinson,

204
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 4: didn't talk about his quarterbacks coach, sure as hell, didn't

205
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 4: mention Kirk Cousins, and didn't mention Rahee Morris.

206
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,200
Speaker 3: He's on an island.

207
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: He's got his fiancee and people from his football past.

208
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, high school coaches called me because he mentioned coaches, right,

209
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: he mentioned He didn't say if everything was personal, like, oh,

210
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: I talked to my fiance but members of my family

211
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: were friends. Okay, he know, he said, I have high

212
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: school coaches.

213
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 3: That call me. Whoa man, whoa whoa. That's badly.

214
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 4: Carolina gets over at home and we're talking about another

215
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 4: coaching change.

216
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 3: Woh to start the new week.

217
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 1: Now, game of the week in the NFL. Oh, don't worry,

218
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to Kansas City and Denver. But the game

219
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: of the week in the NFL, the two best teams

220
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,839
Speaker 1: in the league square it off. The Seahawks and the Rams. Look,

221
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 1: we talked about them earlier this week. If you're doing

222
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: power rankings, nobody is better than these two teams. Nobody

223
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: is more complete than these two teams. Right now, the

224
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: Seahawks have built an armor around themselves where they're winning

225
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: games now, where they look like a high level FBS

226
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,959
Speaker 1: college football team playing homecoming. Right, that's how it's gonna

227
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: look like Ohio State playing UCLA tomorrow.

228
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:05,199
Speaker 3: That's what's going to look.

229
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: And the Rams are even better because their defense is

230
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: even better. So this game on sunny this is gonna

231
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 1: show you who the best team in the NFL is.

232
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 1: And I'll take I have more confidence the Rams defense

233
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: are gonna be able to do what they need to

234
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 1: do to Sam Donald, who still is prone to the

235
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 1: bad game couple of turnovers. If you prevent him from

236
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: being able to see his first read downfield, you can

237
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 1: stop Sam Donald, right, you can still do that. Now,

238
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't happen as often because Donald's a more confident

239
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: quarterback and he goes downfield a lot, and he's got

240
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: the arm and he get But when you can confuse

241
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: him a little bit, when you can get him off

242
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: that number one read, when you can make him move

243
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: around a little bit in the pocket. He misses open

244
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:45,920
Speaker 1: receivers downfield.

245
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 3: Again.

246
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Doesn't happen like it used to with the Jets and

247
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers and the Jets. Doesn't happen like it did

248
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: with the Jets. But you can do it once in

249
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 1: a while. Especially this defense. The Rams are the best

250
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: defense in the NFC. Still gonna be a big heater

251
00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: continuing for Matthew Stafford, but they're gonna run the football

252
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: a little bit more than you think to establish a

253
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 1: little bit more of a dominance in the first half,

254
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: a little bit something different to give the Seahawks a

255
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: chance to get onto before they start throwing the football.

256
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 3: Give me the Rams to win this game over the sea.

257
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:16,560
Speaker 4: Look at you going against your guys, Sam Darnold. You'll

258
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 4: never love him again or you just have that man?

259
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: I loved him in a long time.

260
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 2: Man.

261
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 1: This is like saying, hey, do you still miss your ex? Guys,

262
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: we broke up four years ago, Man, I got married.

263
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,800
Speaker 4: There's still part of you that never lets go.

264
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:31,959
Speaker 3: I know I don't miss her, Man, I'm good. I

265
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 3: don't done with there. Come out all right.

266
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 4: First meeting between these squads this week, Stafford obviously has

267
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,679
Speaker 4: been absolutely murdering opposing defenses week in week out.

268
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 3: Would like to.

269
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:48,360
Speaker 4: See more from their run game. I'd love to see

270
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 4: more from the Seattle run game for that matter. And

271
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,719
Speaker 4: another wide receiver to help JSN. We saw, we've seen

272
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 4: it a little bit of Cooper Cup. Now you add

273
00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 4: Rashid Shahed, Maybe take the top off the dal little bit.

274
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: Maybe Arroyo gets in the mix a little bit more.

275
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: Some of that's wishing, wanting and opening. I think it's

276
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: a close game. Late two and a half is the number.

277
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: I'll take Seattle to win on a field goal to

278
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 4: finish it. But I have no confidence on either side

279
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 4: in this game. This is one that to me is

280
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,080
Speaker 4: really a flip a coin, because I think that's the

281
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 4: fun part. Because you got a slate with some real dogs,

282
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 4: a slate with a bunch of really fascinating games, some

283
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 4: that may be fascinating only to me, and then you've

284
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 4: got this one that is, you know, split the hair

285
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 4: kind of thing. You've got the Rams playing really well,

286
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 4: and Stafford has been all world. Does McDonald have enough

287
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 4: with his defense to bring him back to Earth at

288
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 4: least for one day?

289
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen down the Jason

290
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. So yeah,

291
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: we got Kansas City and Denver coming up next. We

292
00:13:53,080 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 1: have a big story about a coach who says I

293
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: Am not going to coach the New York Giants.

294
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 3: Way do we tell you who it is that's coming

295
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: up next?

296

Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with My best Friend Mike harmon.

335
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: We got Todd Furman coming up from Vegas in a

336
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 1: couple of minutes Vegas and started taking a look at

337
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: all the big action this weekend NFL college football, and

338
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:08,440
Speaker 1: maybe who the odds on favorite is to be the

339
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: next head coach of the Giants. Because Bill Belichick says

340
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: it's not him, It wasn't me number one. I don't

341
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 1: think anybody really thought it was going to be him.

342
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: And I look at it as the statement he put

343
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: out today in which he misspelled the word waivering.

344
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 4: Hey hey, hey, hey, come on, big saying. I'm just saying, man,

345
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 4: have it proof read, Have somebody reading. Come on, the

346
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 4: guy's been in football forever. Waivers are spelled w ai theer.

347
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, but you went to college and you

348
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: learn stuff, so I think you should know how to

349
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: spell the waiver.

350
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 3: The right way. Anyway, Even if you don't, somebody else

351
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: should look at it. Put it out there.

352
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: Maybe he wanted to make it the only way to

353
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 4: spell it, you know, like people trying to convince you

354
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: that irregardless is a word.

355
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 3: Oh true, that is true.

356
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 4: That is true, which I think eventually actually became a

357
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 4: word because so many people were dopey about it.

358
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 3: Well that's okay. Then, hey, we made it a word, right,

359
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 3: we made we made it a word. Yeah.

360
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: So uh, Belichick puts out a statement, Hey, I know

361
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 1: people have asked about the Giants, and I'm my commitment

362
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,200
Speaker 1: to North Carolina has never been greater, and I'm staying

363
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: here at what we're doing here, we're planning and we're working.

364
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah.

365
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,960
Speaker 1: Dude, the only people talking about you being the head

366
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 1: coach of the Giants are us knuckleheads on the radio

367
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: because it's fun to talk about the fact that there's

368
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 1: no way the Giants would ever hire you. That's not happening. No,

369
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,679
Speaker 1: I don't believe any report that says, oh, the Giants

370
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: are talking to Bill about five seven years ago.

371
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

372
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick couldn't get a job in the NFL coming

373
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 1: off of the Patriots. All he's done in the years

374
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: in the year at two years since is cloak himself

375
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: in controversy and go to college football and show that

376
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: maybe college football is too much for me because I'm

377
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: four and five. Right, there's nobody he could have gotten

378
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: it when he was a hotcat it.

379
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 3: He couldn't get a job.

380
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,760
Speaker 1: Right, Raheem Morris, who I likely could get fired after

381
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 1: this week. Raheem Morris got the Falcons job after Belichick

382
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,320
Speaker 1: was in there and interview twice, and he got the job.

383
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: Nobody wants him, but Belichick, I'm sure, is trying to

384
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:16,919
Speaker 1: seize the moment to change the optics of him at

385
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:20,680
Speaker 1: North Carolina instead of how difficult the last year has been.

386
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: The built in drama with Jordan Hudson that goes past

387
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: the scoreboard. Hey, I won a couple of games, even

388
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: though it's the two of the three worst teams in

389
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 1: the ACC who are absolutely terrible, and yes.

390
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 3: Syracuse is one of them.

391
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 1: Hey, I have a chance now to really flip that narrative,

392
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: make people think that I'm an asset here.

393
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,320
Speaker 3: Hey, I'm not going to the NFL. I'm staying here. Dude.

394
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 1: No one wants you, no one is calling for you. Now,

395
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 1: it's not happening. This is the last coaching job you're

396
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: ever gonna have.

397
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 3: This is it.

398
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: You had your chance, but you ruin the Patriots. You

399
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: ruined your own legacy by running them into the ground

400
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: after Tom Brady left. Yeah, I find it hard to

401
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: believe that anybody is gonna come out and say, yeah,

402
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: I want Bill Belichick. Click the Giants. No, Jackson Dart

403
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: would say, trade me. If Bill Belichick was gonna come,

404
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 1: and he would say, I love being here.

405
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 3: You gotta get rid of me. I'm not staying here.

406
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna go.

407
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,199
Speaker 1: From a really really, really terrific quarterback into just an

408
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: okay quarterback.

409
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:16,360
Speaker 3: Not gonna do it well.

410
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 4: I mean, he was excelling, even with Brian Dable trying

411
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 4: to get him killed out there, the number of times

412
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:23,560
Speaker 4: he was in the in the tent, though, he did

413
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 4: show great concern by charging in too, said blue tent

414
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: on the field. Look, this is a team that Bill

415
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 4: Belichick would steal the Dennis Leary line.

416
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 3: I can coach this team.

417
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,679
Speaker 4: He's got scatamo run through walls, he's got a good defense.

418
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 4: It's everything Bill Belichick can want. He's got a quarterback

419
00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 4: that can play. Come on, it fits perfectly. I Ah,

420
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 4: you didn't think I was going there, did you?

421
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Come on, man, don't do that. Come on, man,

422
00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:58,919
Speaker 3: that's not if there was.

423
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 1: If it was five years ago, I would say yeah,

424
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,560
Speaker 1: if it was it, But there's just you watch what happened,

425
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: even just at North Carolina. If you say, is the

426
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 1: last year worth it for North Carolina?

427
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 3: They're gonna say no.

428
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: So he's gonna increase his value by not getting a

429
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: job in the NFL, having to go to college to coach.

430
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: And I only say having to go because this is

431
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: a guy that's won, unlike any coach in the history

432
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: of the NFL Super Bowl wise. Uh, the guy's got

433
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: to go to college and he's not succeeding there and

434
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: suddenly the door's open for him to come back to

435
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: the NFL. No man, in his mind it is, and

436
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,920
Speaker 1: he's doing him right. You do you and you got

437
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: But there's I don't know any team, not even the Jets.

438
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: And he would go to the Jets. Now he would

439
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,360
Speaker 1: the Jets. H But if the Jets called me, oh yeah, no,

440
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: not even the Jets are gonna call Belichick. He is

441
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: no one's answer anymore. The game has passed him by.

442
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,359
Speaker 1: College football may have passed him by. Stay in North

443
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: Carolina as long as you can not happen.

444
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 4: I wonder what the odds are that he wins out

445
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 4: to go to a bowl game.

446
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: He's got somewhat of a difficult schedule in which all

447
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:09,720
Speaker 1: three teams they play the rest of the way are

448
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 1: all higher than them in the standings. Couple of tough ones.

449
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: You know, potentially, could he get to six and six? Yeah,

450
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: I could see him. I'm not gonna say he can't

451
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: because potentially I could see him getting to six and

452
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 1: six because the end of the season, you don't know

453
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: what teams have packed it in and what teams are

454
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: still playing for stuff. And I'm sure Belichick's gonna be

455
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 1: one of those. Hey I want to get motivated and

456
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: on an upswing get to a bowl game. So why

457
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,480
Speaker 1: can make sure to get a year two? Because after

458
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: North Carolina looks back at the end of the year

459
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: and says, hey, how did this go, they want to

460
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 1: look at some reason to bring him back right, and

461
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:44,119
Speaker 1: getting to a bowl game after the start, then you

462
00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 1: can at least convince yourself to say, hey, maybe another

463
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,120
Speaker 1: year with recruits. It's better we got to a bowl game.

464
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 1: We started out really really bad, but we sort of

465
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: of of cratered out and then we built our way

466
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,480
Speaker 1: back up. Yeah, we can get to another year for

467
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: Bill Bellick, and he knows that he wants to make

468
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:02,040

00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,239

478
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 4: on aus couple of alls around squads, that's inconsequential. Those

479

480
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,199

544
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 7: Thanks for stopping by, Always fun catching up gentlemen. Hopefully

545
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:08,679
Speaker 7: you guys are finishing strong, heading into another fine football weekend.

546
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:10,959
Speaker 1: All right now, before we get to some of the picks,

547
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,040
Speaker 1: if I said to you right, we've just Bill Belichick

548
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: said Listen, I'm not going to coach the Giants.

549
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 3: Who's the favorite right now? You have to be the

550
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 3: next Giants head coach.

551
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 7: It's a great question one I think tomorrow family is

552
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,400
Speaker 7: going to have to do some heavy, heavy soul searching.

553
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,840
Speaker 7: If I'm looking right now, I have to imagine they're

554
00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,360
Speaker 7: going to kick the tires on an offensive minded personality,

555
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 7: and it would make a lot of sense to look

556
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 7: within the division at offensive coordinator Cliff Kingsbury down there

557
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,919
Speaker 7: in DC. I know people have made a case for

558
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,680
Speaker 7: Lane Kiffin reuniting with Jackson Dart at the NFL level.

559
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 7: I just don't see that as a likely scenario. I

560
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,640
Speaker 7: think you need somebody that's called plays at the NFL level,

561
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 7: maybe a former head coach looking to try and get

562
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 7: a second opportunity. But there's a lot of reason to

563
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 7: be optimistic about the roster of the Giants have built,

564
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 7: not just on the offensive side with some of the

565
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 7: difference makers there, but a defense that, my opinion, once

566
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 7: they get healthy, can be one of the more formidable

567
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 7: pass rushes. You solidify the back end, and I think

568
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 7: they're a lot closer to contention than people think.

569
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,159
Speaker 4: See That's why I blew Smith's mind by doing a

570
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 4: bunch of analysis as to why Bill Belichick would be

571
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 4: a perfect coach for what they've got there, a battering

572
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 4: Ram and a defense. But let's move into the NFL,

573
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,439
Speaker 4: shall we Seattle and the Rams. We talked about it

574
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,760
Speaker 4: a bunch Rams with Matthew Stafford playing on a heater

575
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 4: Sam Donald, people waiting for him to turn back into

576
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 4: a pumpkin. Rams a narrow favorite at home.

577
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,640
Speaker 7: Rams out to a three even three and a half

578
00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 7: point favorite at some locations out here in the desert,

579
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:34,720
Speaker 7: no doubt the game of the weekend when you look

580
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 7: at these two teams and how prolific they've been both

581
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 7: on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. You

582
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 7: mentioned Sam Donald completely erasing or at least for now,

583
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 7: some of those memories and the lasting images of the

584
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,440
Speaker 7: regular season finale against the Detroit Lions, and following it

585
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 7: up with that rough playoff game where he was sacked

586
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,240
Speaker 7: with felt like a hundred times. I think it ended

587
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 7: up being just nine. And on the flip side of things,

588
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 7: to your point, Arm Matthew Stafford, you know, is the

589
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 7: short shot to win the MVP depending on which books

590
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 7: you look at. He's neck and neck with Drake May,

591
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 7: but putting up some video game like numbers at this

592
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:08,679
Speaker 7: advanced age in his career, spreading the ball around, and

593
00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 7: credit to Sean McVay for kind of changing his offense philosophy.

594
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,720
Speaker 7: The big question that I think the Rams are going

595
00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 7: to have to answer, You're in the Seahawks to some extent,

596
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 7: you can this secondary hold up for the Rams. I

597
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 7: mean Jackson Smith and Jig, but when both teams were

598
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 7: at full strength last year, absolutely cooked them to the

599
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:25,439
Speaker 7: tune of nearly two hundred receiving yards. It was a

600
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 7: game the Rams won in overtime twenty six to twenty.

601
00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 7: But I think this is going to be a little

602
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 7: bit more competitive than what we've seen in the past. Tight,

603
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,000
Speaker 7: low scoring football game in my opinion, and one that'll

604
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 7: go a long way in determining the pecking order, not

605
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 7: just in the NFC West, but the NFC overall.

606
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 1: All Right, let's go to the night game, the Lions

607
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: and the Eagles. The Eagles have been bathing in dysfunction

608
00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: like there at a spa.

609
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 3: What do you think in this one? Todd?

610
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 7: And the one thing even amid all this dysfunction is

611
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 7: that Philadelphia continues to be one of the league's best defenses,

612
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 7: and that was on full display Monday night when they

613
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 7: completely stymied the Green Bay Packers to the tune of

614
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 7: a ten victory. Now Philadelphia offensively, Smith has to answer

615
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 7: a lot of questions. It's never great when your number

616
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 7: one wide receiver coming into the season goes on a

617
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 7: Twitch stream and tells people that they should drop him

618
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 7: in fantasy. So if the age old question, does the

619
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 7: squeaky wheel get the grease and do we see them

620
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 7: feed aj Brown in this spot? Knowing that the Detroit

621
00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 7: boundary corners leave a little bit to be desired and

622
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,120
Speaker 7: it should be a favorable matchup. But until you see

623
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,720
Speaker 7: more of that big play potential in Philadelphia's ability to

624
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 7: create balance, which they haven't found with Saquon Barkley, you

625
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 7: can understand why people are a little bit apprehensive. But

626
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 7: it is Jared goffin the Detroit Lions going out on

627
00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 7: the road against an Eagles team. I'll be able to

628
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 7: slightly shorter week, so you can understand why Philly has

629
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: been back from a one point favorite out to two

630
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 7: and a half, even approaching three. But the bigger move

631
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 7: and one that I agree with is the total coming

632
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 7: down from a peak of forty eight and a half

633
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 7: now down to forty six and a half. I think

634
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 7: people are selling this Lion's defense short given how good

635
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 7: they've been, but it typically flies under the radar.

636
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 4: J C Denver Kansas City Road favorite coming out of

637
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 4: a bye week boat. So Nick's taking on all comers

638
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 4: after some difficult runs these last couple of weeks. Who

639
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 4: wins this AFC West showdown?

640
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 7: Injuries really starting to pile up for the Denver Broncos. JK.

641
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,160
Speaker 7: Dobbins going to miss R J. Harvey at this point,

642
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 7: even in his rookie season, in my opinion, more than

643
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 7: capable of taking on a bigger workload, but the big

644
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 7: question can he pick up some of those tough yards

645
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 7: that the veteran running back had done in the past. Now,

646
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 7: he of course won't be the only absence for this

647
00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,880
Speaker 7: Marquee showdown. The defense going to be a little bit

648
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 7: shorthanded as well. No Alex Singleton, their green dot and

649
00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 7: their leading tackler going to be out through the bye week.

650
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 7: Patrick certain not going to return to action, still dealing

651
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,400
Speaker 7: with that upper body injury, and even a depth linebacker

652
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,959
Speaker 7: in Jonah ellis going to miss as well. You get

653
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 7: a rested Kansas City team that knows their season kind

654
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 7: of hanging in the balance, a chance to make a

655
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 7: statement here. And that's the reason the Chiefs, despite being

656
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 7: three games behind in the win call in the Broncos,

657
00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:54,719
Speaker 7: coming as more than a field goal favorite. The market

658
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 7: tells us all we need to know here. I'm not

659
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 7: running to bet the Chiefs at this particular price tag,

660
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 7: but I do think they win the football game, and

661
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 7: if you have a little bit of an appetite for risk,

662
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,200
Speaker 7: would have no problem endorsing a money line beat on

663
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 7: Kansas City. I think they'll play with a playoff like

664
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 7: intensity here and try and get themselves right back in

665
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: the thicke of things for the AFC West.

666
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 1: Race, Vegas insider Todd Furman, our guest Jason Smith, Mike

667
00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 1: Carmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,

668
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:22,360
Speaker 1: tell me the truth. Remember you're on with Mike Harmon,

669
00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:24,640
Speaker 1: But put that out. You give me, give me your

670
00:31:24,840 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 1: absolute opinion on this. Are you believing in the Bears

671
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 1: right now? Do you believe in the Bears.

672
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,720
Speaker 7: I'm not a full believer in the Bears. I do

673
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 7: think winning can breed confidence, and you have to give

674
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,239
Speaker 7: the Bears a ton of credit for what they've been

675
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 7: able to do after an zero to two start that

676
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Speaker 7: had them losing games against the Vikings and Lions. Now

677
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:46,720
Speaker 7: the wins the Bears have been able to compile during

678
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 7: the stretch leave a little bit to be desired. It's

679
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 7: not as if they've beaten a murderer's row with wins

680
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,680
Speaker 7: against the Cowboys, the Raiders, the Commanders, the Saints, the Bengals,

681
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 7: and the Giants mixed in there. And while people may

682
00:31:57,440 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 7: want to overlook the loss against the Ravens, let's not

683
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 7: forget that that wasn't Lamar Jackson at full speed. It

684
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 7: was Tyler Huntley. So at six and three, this resume

685
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 7: has a number of holes, but you do have to win,

686
00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,720
Speaker 7: and when you're learning a new system with a sophomore quarterback,

687
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 7: Kayla Williams has shown that intestinal furd its fortitude and

688
00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 7: ability to battle back. This another big measuring game, stick

689
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 7: game for the Chicago Bears at Minnesota. I mean, JJ

690
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 7: McCarthy has had a much tougher schedule He's kind of

691
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 7: had to navigate through over the last couple of weeks.

692
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 7: Getting the Ravens last week and the Lions the week before.

693
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 7: I know this won't be music to Bears fans. Eers

694
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 7: there's a reason there's an underdog, and there's also a

695
00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,520
Speaker 7: reason that JJ McCarthy currently has two wins on his

696
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 7: resume against NFC North opponents and Kayleb Williams still looking

697
00:32:38,920 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 7: for his second win. Maybe it'll come on Sunday.

698
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:44,160
Speaker 4: How about we dial it back because I have so

699
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:46,160
Speaker 4: much to say about the Bears. Let's go back to

700
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,240
Speaker 4: the college slate battle of names. Arch Manning against Gunner,

701
00:32:50,280 --> 00:32:54,440
Speaker 4: stocked in Georgia, nearly a touchdown favorite, arch Manning playing

702
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: better football of late?

703
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 3: Can he pull it up?

704
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 7: Set here Texas two weeks to prepare You think that

705
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,120
Speaker 7: Steve's Zarxisian had a few tricks up his sleeve for

706
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 7: their trip to Athens. You look at Texas and they

707
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 7: have a lot still in front of them. I mean,

708
00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 7: this is a team that, when they finish, or if

709
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,520
Speaker 7: they do finish nine and three, splitting against Georgia and

710
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:13,800
Speaker 7: maybe upsetting Texas A and M in the regular season

711
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,080
Speaker 7: finale or vice versa, that in my opinion, has a

712
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 7: legitimate case to be included in the College Football playoffs.

713
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 7: If you want to banish any of those notions of doubt,

714
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 7: go out there and win both of these games, which

715
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 7: serves to be a daunting task. Georgia, though, despite their

716
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 7: gaudy record, not a vintage Georgia team. There's not NFL

717
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 7: caliber talent along that defensive line. They can't generate pressure

718
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 7: at the same rate. And if you want to place

719
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 7: a little bit of historical context around what Georgia has

720
00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 7: done this year, despite being eight and one at this

721
00:33:41,400 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 7: point in the season, they've trailed for more minutes, two

722
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 7: hours and one minute plus than any team with the

723
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 7: record this late in the season since the UCLA Bruins

724
00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,720
Speaker 7: back in two thousand and five. So fascinating chess match

725
00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,720
Speaker 7: here if you like Texas, though, I try and bet

726
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 7: them in the first half plus the three and a

727
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,440
Speaker 7: half get in and out, knowing that Kirby Smart makes

728
00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 7: some of the best in game adjustments of any head

729
00:34:00,760 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 7: coach going in college football.

730
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Todd Furman, that is, at Todd Furman,

731
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,799
Speaker 1: our Vegas insider Todd as always thanks for making time

732
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:10,360
Speaker 1: for us, enjoy the games this weekend.

733
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:11,280
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you, my friend.

734
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 7: Always a pleasure Hey, one last thing, Smith, I want

735
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:15,720
Speaker 7: to ask harm. You know, they have such an iconic

736
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,360
Speaker 7: ballpark on the south side of Chicago. It's a real travesty.

737
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,440
Speaker 7: Northwestern is playing at Wrigley tomorrow, not at US Cellular

738
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:22,440
Speaker 7: or whatever the hell we're calling it.

739
00:34:22,520 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 4: Dang great Field, great Field, And you're damn right.

740
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: It used to be guaranteed. Right now they don't guarantee that.

741
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 7: They just I think that's asky to me.

742
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 3: Boys, that is right to me.

743
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: Take it easy, Todd, My guys see you, Todd, I

744
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:40,480
Speaker 1: don't know about that, man.

745
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 3: I think guaranteed rate I'm more.

746
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: I have more confidence in that business than they just

747
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: do rate field. Wait, don't you guarantee it? Oh no, no,

748
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: not anymore. But here, give us your money.

749
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 4: I just think at some point you stop changing the

750
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 4: damn name if you can help it.

751
00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 3: Particularly, it's the same company. We're playing at brand it

00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 1: Telling you man, we could trade Jalen Brunson, Now we

781
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:15,480
Speaker 1: don't you Shammit can score thirty six off the bench.

782
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 1: Every night we'll get Luca and Austin Reeves were fine,

783
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: you're reading everything.

784
00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 3: We can move on on the fly.

785
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,959
Speaker 4: On the yesterday, it was get rid of Mike Brown today,

786
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:27,120
Speaker 4: and let's just trade up some of the secondary parts.

787
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 1: This all of a sudden, Jalen Brunston's gone to a

788
00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: secondary part.

789
00:36:32,560 --> 00:36:34,959
Speaker 3: Hey, we got Shammitt scored thirty, so well he didn't.

790
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 3: He didn't play today, so he's a secondary part. So

791
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 3: what did you do for me today? Jalen Brunson did nothing.

792
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,879
Speaker 1: Huge slate of games tomorrow in college football again, separation week,

793
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 1: elimination week. We saw Louisville basically get eliminated from playoff

794
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: contention tonight with that one's dang man, you want to

795
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: talk about man that chen teeth because you also were

796
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:01,040
Speaker 1: talking about you know, Brahm is always.

797
00:37:00,719 --> 00:37:03,279
Speaker 4: Mentioned as one of those guys that could always be

798
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 4: looking at a big picture thing, right, So this loss

799
00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:11,400
Speaker 4: with a college kicker getting you twice, oh man.

800
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,319
Speaker 1: Dabosweeney did more hugging in the last five minutes of

801
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: that game. They needed to coach it. They missed the

802
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 1: first field goal, he was hugging everybody. They missed the

803
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: second field goal, he was hugging everybody again. Then when

804
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,920
Speaker 1: the game actually ended because you know, Louisville got the

805
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:25,719
Speaker 1: ball back, they won.

806
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,359
Speaker 3: He's hugging everybody at third time.

807
00:37:29,360 --> 00:37:32,240
Speaker 1: He did so much celebrating in the last five minutes

808
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:32,919
Speaker 1: of that game.

809
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 4: But they put up so many metrics as to why

810
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 4: this why this game was so substantial for Dabbo in

811
00:37:39,239 --> 00:37:42,320
Speaker 4: his career in terms of his overall record.

812
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: This was their.

813
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 4: First comeback win of the year, Like all of these things,

814
00:37:48,520 --> 00:37:52,000
Speaker 4: just absolute insanity in those final minutes of the game.

815
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 4: So a big Friday night between the NBA games. The

816
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:58,880
Speaker 4: Golden State at San Antonio game gave us some thrills.

817
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:02,120
Speaker 4: Wemby and Hurry getting back and forth on it. We

818
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 4: have these college games, Big game on Fox. So yeah,

819
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:08,640
Speaker 4: a lot of good stuff coming up tomorrow. Two games

820
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:09,440
Speaker 4: to talk about now.

821
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: In the last few minutes, the Heisman moment we're waiting

822
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 1: for comes to us tomorrow in the form of Alabama's

823
00:38:16,719 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: Ty Simpson, big revenge game for last year. They have

824
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 1: Oklahoma National TV. Everybody's watching this. It's not gonna be

825
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: a stat year for the Heisman winner, right, You've seen that.

826
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:30,400
Speaker 1: Usually it's a stat it's a stat award. It's not

827
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: happening this year. So we're waiting for big winning moments.

828
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,719
Speaker 1: Everybody's waiting for someone to have one. Now is Ty

829
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:38,880
Speaker 1: Simpson's time. Look, his numbers are all in line with

830
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,839
Speaker 1: everybody else, but you clearly okay, you need something else

831
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:46,200
Speaker 1: but Alabama National TV every week, the biggest game tomorrow.

832
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: Simpson has some big moments in a very Manzell like moment,

833
00:38:50,360 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: he has some big throws, some big plays.

834
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,719
Speaker 3: Late, Alabama wins. He jumps to the front of the

835
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 3: Heisman Trophy race.

836
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 4: Well, they're gonna win. He's got to do it because

837
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 4: they're not getting much from the run game. Getting three

838
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 4: point five yards of carry, twenty one touchdown against one pick.

839
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 4: That looks pretty pretty good sixty seven percent completion rate.

840
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 4: As we enter this weekend's games, Mendoza the slight favorite

841
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:15,800
Speaker 4: at plus one thirty Saying at plus one seventy, Marcel

842
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:20,920
Speaker 4: Reed at plus seven hundred, Simpson a at plus eight hundred.

843
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:24,759
Speaker 1: Remember that name, it's Simpson A remember and now just

844
00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: remember I want to even though it's going to help

845
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 1: torpedo my point. Justin Fields only has one interception this

846
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 1: year too, so remember that.

847
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 4: Well, you know what you can take care of the football,

848
00:39:33,320 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 4: Go back to last year, right, Caleb Williams had that

849
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 4: long interceptionless streak. Now he took one hundred and forty

850
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:41,440
Speaker 4: two sacks and never put the ball in harm's way.

851
00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:45,440
Speaker 4: Throwing with a shot rate if you look at the chart,

852
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:50,800
Speaker 4: somewhere between minus five yards and plus five yards. What'll

853
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,799
Speaker 4: be interesting with Simpson is he's going against the guy

854
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,200
Speaker 4: that was once upon a time the Heisman front runner

855
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 4: in John Matteir. Eight touchdown, seven picks for him, it

856
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 4: has added rushing touchdowns, so it can hurt you with

857
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 4: his legs. But curiosity here as we go, Alabama minus six.

858
00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,200
Speaker 4: Big opportunity here.

859
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: Now not a Heisman moment, but one just as big

860
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,759
Speaker 1: because we are gonna get arch belief after tomorrow.

861
00:40:16,840 --> 00:40:18,240
Speaker 3: Texas and Georgia.

862
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 1: Arch Manning has been really good against some good teams

863
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. Maybe it was just like

864
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 1: we said at the beginning of the year, give them

865
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 1: six games if we're still getting this arch Manning and

866
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:32,280
Speaker 1: arch Manning stinks the last six games. Okay, we got problems,

867
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:34,400
Speaker 1: but now it looks like it just took him a

868
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: few starts. This is not your typical great Georgia team.

869
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: Texas gonna throw the ball all day, and arch Manning

870
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: gets back into the conversation about being number one overall

871
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:47,399
Speaker 1: in the twenty twenty seven NFL draft. Probably too late

872
00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:49,759
Speaker 1: for this year, but this is two big weeks in

873
00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:52,759
Speaker 1: a row. Texas is really unpredictable. But this is a game.

874
00:40:52,760 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: They go in, they win, they screw up the sec.

875
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: Arch Manning has a big day and suddenly we're like, hey,

876
00:40:58,120 --> 00:40:59,640
Speaker 1: I never left the arch Manning bad way.

877
00:40:59,800 --> 00:41:01,640
Speaker 3: I just thought he was really good. That's going to

878
00:41:01,719 --> 00:41:02,279
Speaker 3: be next week.

879
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:05,439
Speaker 4: Arch completing about sixty three percent of his passes, three

880
00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 4: touchdowns per pick eighteen to six ratio. He's also their

881
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 4: second leading rusher with two hundred and eight yards and

882
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 4: six touchdowns. The thing for Georgia no pass rush, so

883
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:17,719
Speaker 4: Arch should be standing there with a clean jersey and

884
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 4: an opportunity to work downfield where they do have and deploy.

885
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 4: Deploy a pretty good arsenal of receivers.
