Huh. We 27 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: watch the Bears absolutely collapse in a game that boy, 28 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: I don't know who had a worse loss. The Bears 29 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,240 Speaker 1: are the Ravens, a game they were dominating for the 30 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: first two and a half quarters. Decided to stop playing, 31 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: watch JJ McCarthy make plays, and then have your head 32 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,440 Speaker 1: coach make the biggest bonehead, indefensible decision. I could of 33 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 1: kicking off with two oh two left to go, and 34 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 1: because they didn't on side kick try to get the 35 00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: ball or kick it out of bounds, they only got 36 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: the ball back with ten seconds left instead of getting 37 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280 Speaker 1: it back with close to a minute.

Burschh had his finger over the 174 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 1: dump button, going I don't know where this is going. 175 00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: This is categorically I'm ready to press. 176 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 3: He's more likely to do that about the Dodger bullpen 177 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 3: than he is about me. 178 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: Bottom line. Bottom line is sorry about the four grounding 179 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: out with the bases loaded.

Oh No, it's miserable, there's no question 201 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:57,640 Speaker 1: about it. 202 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,400 Speaker 3: Not what I have that Wyatt moment in my head later, 203 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: like right now, we're doing a show that broadcast America, 204 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 3: and that. 205 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 1: The people want, but people want the I mean, I'm 206 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: worried about you that you know, the real you is 207 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: like this is this is like take off your hat 208 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: and squeeze it in your hands, like that's kind of 209 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 1: your thing.

That's not me. I 212 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: really don't think you have processed just how bad a 213 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 1: loss this has been for the Bears, for your team. 214 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: I don't think you do not see the laundry list 215 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: of things. I said to our boss. 216 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,440 Speaker 3: I think because he tried to throw the hey, that 217 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 3: pass interference just kind of buggs and it was. 218 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: It was a terrible call. McCarthy under threw the receiver 219 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: by a good five six yards, so it becomes one 220 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: of those I got good coverage and he has to 221 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: stop to account for a terribly thrown ball. But the 222 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: rules are the rules, so that goes. And then I 223 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: immediately put together what was that a list of like, right, 224 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: but you're you're flying through this very with very much 225 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: of a linear style of and this bad play was bad, 226 00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 1: and this was but there I feel like it's it's 227 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: not really affecting you. It's like I've done a lot 228 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,319 Speaker 1: of work. It's kind of in your brain, but it's 229 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: not really in your brain. It's like it's it's like 230 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: you're really understanding what's happening here, right Like Ben Johnson, Dude, 231 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 1: you understand you got to on side kick or kick 232 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: it out of bounds on this file, Like yeah, yeah, 233 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: we're just gonna kick it in the end zone. Yeah, 234 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: but but you realize they're gonna run it out. You're 235 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 1: gonna lose time off the clock. Yeah yah yah, yeah 236 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 1: yeah yeah yeah. No, I don't think you really realize 237 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: that now, folks. 238 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 3: Folks are mad at me that I'm not, you know, 239 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 3: smashing cameras. I mean, there's some great equipment in here. 240 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 3: I mean that's probably five thousand dollars. 241 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean I could do that. I don't talk about 242 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: smashing a question. I can throw it. I don't throw 243 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: stuff through TVs and whatever. I could do that. No, no, no, 244 00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 1: I'm not saying you need to be doing that. I 245 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 1: just think that I look in your eyes and I 246 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 1: and I think, like, I don't know what you're seeing 247 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: right now. It's like you're in Ready Player one where 248 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 1: here's the world and here's this virtual world where any 249 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: things I don't, I don't I'm worried about you. 250 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 3: Well, I come come back to this and you know, 251 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 3: I'll put the heart on the sleeve. Last few years 252 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:01,839 Speaker 3: have not been easy. No, it has not a lot 253 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,560 Speaker 3: of stuff. I'm I just talking about the bears. 254 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: I'm talking about but this is all my team saw. 255 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 3: But this is this is you know, in the real world, 256 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: we've had some great triumphs, but we've had some challenges, right, 257 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 3: A lot of doctor visits, a lot of that kind 258 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 3: of stuff. 259 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 1: Don't wear that out. 260 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 3: So when my coach is a bonehead like the coach 261 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 3: before him, I just say, next man up, as opposed 262 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 3: to getting really upset about it. 263 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: Yes, he was supposed to be chosen. You have to 264 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: accept that before. But that's the problem is I'm accepting 265 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: that that point. Here's the thing. I think in the 266 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: levels of grief with this Bear's loss, you skip over 267 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: acceptance like it's like, yeah, if I don't really accept it, 268 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: it didn't really happen. I can talk about it very 269 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 1: abstractly because you're talking about it very well abstractly. I'm 270 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: doing a great job. 271 00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: I've broken down this game like these champions, all these 272 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: coaching points and all this. 273 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: But I'm worried that you're not You're not really accepting 274 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 1: what happened. 275 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 3: No, I appreciate, you know. I might eat my feelings later, 276 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 3: I might tell to order some wings. I don't know. 277 00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:00,040 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you're really accepting. No. 278 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 3: No, this is crushing because it's a Division game. You 279 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 3: know how I feel about Division games week one. But 280 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: here we are, and we got a thriller. Right, it's close, 281 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 3: it's late, so it becomes an instant classic. That's the 282 00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 3: way it works. But you're looking at a Bears squad 283 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 3: to where it becomes the same old song and dance. 284 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 3: Steven Tyler's back and performing, so I can quote quote 285 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 3: Aerosmith as we go. So when I see a Bear's 286 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 3: team do this. After the first half, which was pretty 287 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,319 Speaker 3: much a dominant half, dominant but dominant with reservations. Even 288 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 3: though Caleb Williams had statistically right completetion percentages high taking 289 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: what's there not a bunch of negative plays, they also 290 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 3: didn't take shots downfield. And I brought that up at 291 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 3: the time, right off the jump right of he had 292 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: guys open, but did the checkdown safe play. That's what 293 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 3: led you to the record you had last year and 294 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 3: a lot of the questions of whether he was going 295 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 3: to be ready for prime time. So while they had 296 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 3: a lead, it was helped by that pick six to 297 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 3: help extend it. They scored on that opening possession. They 298 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,160 Speaker 3: ended the streak of games where they didn't have a 299 00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 3: touchdown on an opening drive. Fantastic. After that, they managed 300 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 3: three points, including a bunch of coaching decisions long before 301 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: the Vikings offense came to life right shooting a field goal, 302 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 3: missing a fifty yard field goal, and then Caleb Williams 303 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 3: started to revert to some of the bad and you 304 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 3: could see it happening. 305 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: It started to spiral right. 306 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: Remember Dante Culpepper forber Viking Star, his big celebration was 307 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 3: he would start. 308 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: Doing that momentum when they started going. 309 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 3: I could see that coming from a mile away, like 310 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 3: a snowball rolling down a hill. 311 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:45,080 Speaker 1: All right, Just to let you know, all that being said, 312 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm going to keep an eye on you the rest 313 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: of the show. 314 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:48,679 Speaker 3: I want to make sure I'm not drinking. I've got 315 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 3: a cup of coffee and some water. I'm really sad 316 00:13:55,280 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 3: because the packers throttled the lions on the other side. Yuh, 317 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 3: so they're gonna be good. I'm gonna I bet now 318 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: you lose to the Vikings week one. 319 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: We could. I think we're gona keep an eye on you. 320 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: We're keep an eye on because again, it's it's it's 321 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna hit you at some point and then it's 322 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: gonna get really bad. No, I'm not. 323 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: I've for got a bunch of people checking in its 324 00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: telling me that they've loaded up on the iHeartRadio app. 325 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 3: Take us with you wherever you go, all across the globe.

I'm very confident and that 431 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 1: I know what's going in. Your streak got broken because 432 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: you didn't make a pick. So there, streak didn't get broken, 433 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,200 Speaker 1: It just it just is suspended for a day. Why 434 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 1: that's stupid. If you fail to make a pick. No, 435 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: you know, if a guy doesn't play, his hitting streak 436 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:22,840 Speaker 1: is still going. Guys, I'm playing a game. Is hitting 437 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: streak is still going. It's not my fault. We didn't 438 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: make a pick, and Dad, it's not my fault. 439 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 3: But you're not just picking a guy. You're picking from 440 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 3: a major league baseball sleep. Come on, Walt, you're better 441 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: than that. See I'm going to deflect onto wall. That's okay, 442 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: he gets my anger. Dam the ghost of flus Well 443 00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 3: here from Ben Johnson coming up in a couple of minutes. 444 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 3: But to give credit here to Viking, said coach Kevin O'Connell, 445 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 3: who everybody wanted fired in the first half of this game. 446 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 3: This is why I love social media, because the first 447 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 3: half of this game was O'Connell needed to go. JJ 448 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 3: McCarthy was never gonna be any good. Caleb Williams was great, 449 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 3: and all of a sudden things just change, right. But 450 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 3: the couple of things to give credit that Kevin O'Connell 451 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 3: did to turn this game from the Vikings into the 452 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,400 Speaker 3: Vikings favor is that after the pick six, it's seventeen 453 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 3: to six, right, and the Bears feel like they've won, 454 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 3: and again they're change in body language and demeanor following 455 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 3: seventeen to six was it's a party, almost like it was. 456 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,879 Speaker 3: It's a home playoff game and we just had a 457 00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 3: big play to clinch it. Now the stands are yelling 458 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 3: and we're just got our shoulder pads off on the 459 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 3: sideline and we're just all excited. 460 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 1: I don't think it's been louder in the Soldier field 461 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: outside of you know, like coldplayer or somebody plays. It's 462 00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: still midway through the third quarter. And what happens in 463 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: a game when that goes on, and we've said this 464 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: is that you keep giving the ball back to a 465 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: team they can't figure it out. Eventually they're going to 466 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 1: figure it out. And the Bears couldn't sustain a drive, 467 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 1: they couldn't put more points on the board, and they 468 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: kept giving it back to the Vikings who eventually, hey, 469 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 1: we figured out what to do. And I give Kevin 470 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: O'Connell so much credit because this game is when it's 471 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 1: seventeen six midway through the third quarter, what do ninety 472 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,199 Speaker 1: percent of coaches in the NFL say, Okay, let's just 473 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 1: let's just let them throw it, throw deep, take chances. 474 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,400 Speaker 1: McCarthy's got to learn maybe this game isn't there for us, 475 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: but let him throw the football. Throw the football. We're 476 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,399 Speaker 1: down eleven, and you get into that trap of we 477 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: gotta throw the football to get back into it. And instead, 478 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 1: what did the Vikings do, and really, you know, took 479 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 1: the to the Bears by surprise in the beginning and 480 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: then it just came to a point where they were dominant. 481 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 1: Is that they decided we are gonna run the football. 482 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna run it. We're not gonna You're not gonna 483 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:36,960 Speaker 1: be first down pass, second down pass, third down pass. 484 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: Maccarth it's gonna be first down run. We get a 485 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 1: first down, first down run, second down run, third down pass, 486 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: mixing things up. They ran the football a lot, and 487 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 1: they ran the football extremely well. In the second half. 488 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: Mason had big runs, good He was ripping off chunk 489 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 1: yardage for the most better part of the end of 490 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,520 Speaker 1: the third quarter into the fourth quarter, and that allowed 491 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 1: things to settle for the Vikings. They started getting in, 492 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: getting in some momentum, and they had a big drive 493 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: down the field. McCarthy throws a touchdown, The defense gets up, 494 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: the stops the Bears. They get the ball back. What 495 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,360 Speaker 1: do they do? They keep running the football, They get down, 496 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,840 Speaker 1: McCarthy makes a pass us for a touchdown. All of 497 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: a sudden, the Bears are losing. Bears give the football back. 498 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 1: They run the football down the field. What does McCarthy do, 499 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,919 Speaker 1: big scramble for a touchdown. There could have been a 500 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 1: lot of panic, and instead you saw what happened where 501 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 1: the Vikings and Kevin O'Connell say, no, let's just run 502 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 1: the football. There's plenty of time left for us to 503 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,280 Speaker 1: do this because our defense is really holding the Bears down. 504 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: Well but right, the Vikers were top five, top seven 505 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 1: defense last year, still really good this year. Yes, missing 506 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,199 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, but they're still really good, and 507 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,880 Speaker 1: they were holding the Bears down. They had confident, Hey, 508 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: we know what we're doing here, right, Caleb Williams is 509 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 1: not getting loose on us. We're absolutely fine, So let's 510 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 1: run the ball, let's get back in it. And then 511 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,040 Speaker 1: you saw the confidence level of the Vikings grow and 512 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,199 Speaker 1: the confidence level of the Bears slip, and that body 513 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: language all of a sudden went from boy, the Bears 514 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 1: are running around like they want to dance, and suddenly 515 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 1: it's that they're looking at each other, and you see 516 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 1: the big looks and the eyes being closed and the 517 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: rolling of the eyes. You knew that they were in 518 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: their head. And that's Kevin O'Connell making a great non 519 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: panic decision that again, ninety percent of the rest of 520 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: the coach in the NFL would say, throw a throw 521 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,679 Speaker 1: a throat, we got we're down eleven, let's go, let's go, 522 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: let's go tempo, let's get down the field. And instead, Hey, 523 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: plenty of time. And again not only did they did 524 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:22,719 Speaker 1: they come back to tie the end, they came back 525 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: to the lead by ten points. Right. This wasn't just hey, 526 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 1: we came back and pulled it out at the end. 527 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 1: This is we came back and we were up by 528 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 1: ten at the end of the game. When they got 529 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: the ball back with two minutes left, to go in 530 00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:34,320 Speaker 1: the game. We're up by we're up by ten. Like, 531 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:38,959 Speaker 1: that's an that's an insane amount of confidence and calmness 532 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: that he has. So yeah, everybody wanted him fired in 533 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,800 Speaker 1: the first half. Hey, now it's like, ah, give the 534 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: guy an extend. He's the best coach. He's the best 535 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 1: young head coach of the NFL. Best coach is under 536 00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: forty five. Kevin O'Connell. Guess that's what he did. 537 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean we watched through the first half and 538 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: as we came on air and we're talking about what 539 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,360 Speaker 3: we'd seen to that point. The offense was non existent 540 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:00,679 Speaker 3: for the Minnesota Vikings, But what did we see for 541 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: the Bears. You had a drive, right, and then you 542 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 3: had another drive that should have yielded points. Ben Johnson, 543 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 3: with his aggressiveness, decided, Hey, you know what, just like 544 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 3: in Detroit, this is gonna be the identity. They went 545 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,480 Speaker 3: for it. They failed. Okay, crisis averted three points that 546 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: don't go on the board, or at least an attempt 547 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 3: at a field goal. Later on, the Bears have a 548 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 3: drive fifty yard attempt failed, but the defense was had 549 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 3: them in the game. After that first scripted possession and 550 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:33,920 Speaker 3: they did the work, and Williams took what was afforded him, 551 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 3: didn't take any shots, to which we pointed out as 552 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 3: we came on air a couple of windows where it 553 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: looked like he had players down the field, but he 554 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:46,399 Speaker 3: did the checkdown again owing the last year's decision making 555 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 3: of I'm not going to make the big mistake that 556 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: yields sixty eight sacks and a lot of a shot 557 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 3: chart that looked like minus five plus five around the 558 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 3: line of scrimmage, and he was doing that again. So 559 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 3: if you're Kevin O'Connell, Brian Flores, you're looking at a 560 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:02,679 Speaker 3: going all right, they got one drive on us, so 561 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 3: you're not gonna panic because you've got a lot of 562 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 3: football left. Bears missing a couple of pieces of the 563 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 3: secondary that showed up a couple of times where McCarthy 564 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 3: had some really big throwing windows later on, But after 565 00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:17,120 Speaker 3: all of the early fails on third down conversions, the 566 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 3: feeling drop was the icing on the cake for the 567 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 3: early part of the narrative. 568 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: Run the football. 569 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,760 Speaker 3: Mason when they did utilize them in the first half 570 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 3: was having success, and then he got behind the offensive 571 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 3: line and those three touchdown drives Jason one hundred and 572 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,920 Speaker 3: seventy eight total yards on eighteen plays, right, I mean, 573 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 3: you're just talking chunk yardage, tired, staying on the field 574 00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 3: longer drives, and the Bears going three and out right, 575 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: couldn't get out of their own way, couldn't establish much 576 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: in the run game with their trio of backs. And 577 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 3: then Caleb Williams made some unconscionable decisions that reverted to 578 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 3: some of those shades of his twenty twenty four rookie season. 579 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 3: The intentional grounding, the misthrow at Coole Kamet, and. 580 00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 1: That the throw just for Caleb Williams for a second 581 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: when they were down ten on that final drive right 582 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 1: or the last drive they scored points on to cut 583 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 1: it to twenty seven to twenty four. He had a 584 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: chance to get in the end zone easy two plays 585 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: before the touchdown where DJ Moore breaks open. He's incredibly 586 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 1: wide open, right, and all Caleb Williams has to do. 587 00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:27,240 Speaker 1: It's just him coming off the line. It's like a 588 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 1: blown coverage for the Vikings because he comes off the 589 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,360 Speaker 1: line about ten yards up the field and there's nobody 590 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 1: on him, and he turns looking for the ball because 591 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,280 Speaker 1: now He's at about the ten yard line right, this 592 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 1: play was snapped from about the thirty yard line. He's 593 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 1: at the ten yard line, turn around looking for the ball. 594 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 1: And not only does Caleb Williams instead of he just 595 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,440 Speaker 1: got to throw it right in there, he's got it's 596 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: a touchdown. Not only does Caleb Williams overthrow him. Right 597 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:53,199 Speaker 1: when DJ Moore gets to the pylon is when the 598 00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: ball lands, and the ball lands maybe two feet from 599 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,679 Speaker 1: the stands. So this this is not just he just 600 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: missed him. He overthrows Dj Moore by about fifteen yards. 601 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 3: No thing like we're talking about Ynards pulling the string, right. 602 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,399 Speaker 3: I talk about the Comet throw because I literally wrote 603 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 3: the word missile. We were talking to Jason locking for 604 00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,199 Speaker 3: at the time, and you looked at me because I 605 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 3: kind of threw my arms up because it was a 606 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 3: wide open throw that he just sailed over his head. 607 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 3: That it was like a ninety eight mile an hour 608 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 3: fastball over the top, no touch where Comet was wide open. 609 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 3: Later they would connect, but it took a circus act 610 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 3: acrobatics from Camet to pull the ball down. But the 611 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,200 Speaker 3: throat of DJ Moore, I mean, there's no touch it's 612 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,680 Speaker 3: just a rocket again over the top that just sails 613 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 3: so far beyond the plane surface that you know. He 614 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,640 Speaker 3: looked back at the like Caleb to say what the hell, 615 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 3: and you could see the demeanor of the Vikings defenders 616 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 3: knowing they got away with a blown coverage because he 617 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,719 Speaker 3: scraped across the middle and towards that left sideline all 618 00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 3: by his lonesome. 619 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,440 Speaker 1: I mean that that that throwed me from what he 620 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 1: went to from the first half of this game to 621 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 1: the confidence that he had. He started out ten out 622 00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: of ten, Right, started out ten out of ten. Move 623 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,240 Speaker 1: the team up and down the field. Yes, a little 624 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 1: bit more checked down, but okay, it's a new all 625 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: your movie the ball and you're winning. Right, you had 626 00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: to touchdown. But the key was no negative plays, right, 627 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,879 Speaker 1: that is, no negative plays and no turnovers. Right, no 628 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: negative plays, no turn wasn't getting sacked, wasn't turning the 629 00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: ball over. Everything was incredible, and then it's suddenly it's 630 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 1: like a like a light was like a switch was flipped. 631 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 1: And because it's not like it's anything that that they 632 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 1: did to him, this was defensively, Hey, the Bears just 633 00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:41,560 Speaker 1: let down and all of a sudden callb Williams couldn't 634 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: do anything, and and and and he you know the 635 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: bad throw that we talked about there, stepping out of 636 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 1: bounds and throwing a ball trying to you know that 637 00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,360 Speaker 1: that intentional grounding throw that that that was awful that 638 00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:56,000 Speaker 1: he tried. Like all these things, suddenly it's like what happened? 639 00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 1: But you add it all up, right, and we go 640 00:28:57,600 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: back to the coaching decision. 641 00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:06,600 Speaker 3: Indecision, bad decision, poor decision in terms of the kickoff 642 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 3: post touchdown to make it a three point game. 643 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 1: You also had twelve penalties. That goes back on coaching too. Right. 644 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 3: You might understand one or two here and there because 645 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 3: the reputation of what Minnesota does. You may have that 646 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 3: pre snap penalty because you see something or think you 647 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 3: see something of you know, an extra guy coming and attacking, 648 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,720 Speaker 3: so you get a little bit of the flinch. You 649 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 3: gave up one hundred and twenty seven yards of penalties. Wow, 650 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 3: I'm telling you like discipline on a whole other level. 651 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 3: And for Caleb Williams, like going back to last year, 652 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 3: my biggest criticism of things the sixty eight sacks. You 653 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:47,800 Speaker 3: decide how much is on him and on the offensive line. 654 00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 3: That line wasn't good a year ago. They did a 655 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 3: lot to shore that up. And yeah, you don't take 656 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:55,760 Speaker 3: the negative play, but you also have to occasionally take 657 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 3: a shot down the field. A lot was made last 658 00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,640 Speaker 3: year of his touchdown interception ratio. 659 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,680 Speaker 1: That's great. You know why didn't have a lot of 660 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 1: those interceptions. He took sacks, Yeah, yeah. 661 00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 3: And scrambled trying to make something happen and then just 662 00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 3: went down here. It's like you'd rather the interception down 663 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: the field trying to make something happen every once in 664 00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: a while. And I'm not saying that that's the part here, 665 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,560 Speaker 3: but once they did try to stretch the field, there's 666 00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,000 Speaker 3: a lot of misses. 667 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,200 Speaker 1: In pretty open windows. 668 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 3: So that that goes into Game two against Detroit team 669 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 3: that's gonna know Ben Johnson really well, and historically they've 670 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:34,600 Speaker 3: come out really well coming out of losses. So the 671 00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 3: point spread established and everything else, I would imagine they 672 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 3: watched and immediately are looking licking their chops over what 673 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:43,880 Speaker 3: the run game is going to be able to do 674 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 3: against the Bears. So all of a sudden, you know, 675 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 3: the chess match moves on to Week two, but the 676 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:51,479 Speaker 3: Bears with so many questions to answer. 677 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Jason Smith 678 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,760 Speaker 2: Show with Mike Harmon weekdays at ten pm Eastern, seven 679 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 2: pm Pacific, Fox Sports Radio. 680 00:30:59,880 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: The Jason Smith Show with My best friend Mike Harmon. 681 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 1: There's coaching mistakes, and then there's Ben Johnson down three 682 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:18,080 Speaker 1: with two to two left in the game. You have 683 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: two real choices here. You on side kick it because 684 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 1: you only have one timeout, or you make sure you 685 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 1: kick the ball out of bounds. What the Bears decided was, Hey, 686 00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: Cairo Santos kicks the ball deep in the end zone. 687 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:33,800 Speaker 1: Of course the Vikings bring it out because you want 688 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: to get that down to the two minute warning on 689 00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:39,640 Speaker 1: the change of possession, instead of the Bears winding up 690 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 1: giving the ball back to the Vikings and basically having 691 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:45,880 Speaker 1: two timeouts, the two minute warning and their final timeout, 692 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,280 Speaker 1: which in theory, if they stopped them on three downs, 693 00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: would have given them the football back with maybe a 694 00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,520 Speaker 1: little bit under a minute left to go. That's time 695 00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:54,760 Speaker 1: to get down the field for a field goal. Because 696 00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:57,240 Speaker 1: they decided we're going to kick it deep and the 697 00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 1: Vikings run it out. The Bears will get the ball 698 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 1: back until there's ten seconds left in the game, killing 699 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 1: any chance they had to win, right, And it's it's 700 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: it's insane that that was a decision that was made. 701 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, you get on the other side of that two 702 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: minute drill. You gave up the extra five seconds right 703 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 3: one to fifty five. 704 00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,480 Speaker 1: Should be noted. And I know you've seen the replay. 705 00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,720 Speaker 3: Chandler thought about taking the knee and then you could 706 00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 3: see the sideline losing their minds yea motioning for it. 707 00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,960 Speaker 1: And you see and and and look and and and 708 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:29,120 Speaker 1: another thing for for Kevin O'Connell yelling, bring it out, 709 00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: bring it out right again, great head kill everybody, rung 710 00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: it out, bring it out right, don't down it, bring 711 00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,560 Speaker 1: it out and bring them out, bring them out. 712 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 5: Uh. 713 00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,560 Speaker 1: And Ben Johnson explained after the game, Hey, what went 714 00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,520 Speaker 1: into that at the end? What went in that decision? 715 00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,600 Speaker 1: And here's what Ben Johnson, head coach of the Bears, 716 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,440 Speaker 1: had to say. The intent was for the ball to 717 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: go out of the end zone? 718 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:48,080 Speaker 5: Was there? 719 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 1: Do you guys consider kick? 720 00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:51,080 Speaker 5: How did that? 721 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 1: Yeah? 722 00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 2: It did. 723 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:53,680 Speaker 6: We We felt like if we had kicked it out 724 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,120 Speaker 6: of the end zone and gotten the three and out 725 00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 6: that we got, we would get the ball back with 726 00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 6: around fifty six seconds. 727 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, so there you go, right, you would have had 728 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 1: but instead you got it back with ten seconds left. 729 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,160 Speaker 3: Now, but it's still great is that you know the 730 00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 3: guy actually has to kick it. 731 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 1: And that's the thing is like, Okay, you can say 732 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 1: I want you to kick it out of the end zone, 733 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:14,480 Speaker 1: but sometimes that's like saying, hey, throw a fifty yard 734 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: touchdown on this play. Well, what do you mean do 735 00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:17,640 Speaker 1: you know we can kick it out of the end zone? 736 00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:20,360 Speaker 1: You know we can do it, because clearly he couldn't. Right, 737 00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: clearly he couldn't because it was still about four yards 738 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: short of the end You got to make sure he 739 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 1: hits it well, hits it well enough. The things you 740 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:29,520 Speaker 1: can control are an on side kick or kick him 741 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:32,200 Speaker 1: out of bounds right, one of those things, because if 742 00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: he doesn't kick it out of the end zone, guess what, 743 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: you just lost the game. And that's something that you 744 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: have to know as a coach. Okay, we're asking to 745 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,000 Speaker 1: a little bit too much. It would seem easy, but 746 00:33:41,040 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: you got to know if your kicker can do that 747 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 1: or not. And Kyro Santos couldn't do it. Clearly didn't 748 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: get it done this time. I don't and I mean 749 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:48,600 Speaker 1: the coach people. 750 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 3: Should be at his kiosk as well, right at his locker, 751 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,760 Speaker 3: going what the hell happened on that kid? 752 00:33:52,760 --> 00:33:54,800 Speaker 1: He's gonna say, I tried, I just did. I didn't 753 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: make it. I didn't, which is on the coaching staff 754 00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: to know. Are we sure he can kick it through 755 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,440 Speaker 1: the Are you sure you can kick it through the upbrads? 756 00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: Can you kick it out of the end? And we sure? 757 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,760 Speaker 1: This is where you throw your coach under the bus. 758 00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:08,360 Speaker 1: He does anything to me, he just had a go 759 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,320 Speaker 1: out there. Just do your best. Oh thanks, coach, I 760 00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:13,000 Speaker 1: appreciate it. No, I mean that again. This is where 761 00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,520 Speaker 1: I take no moments and I go, are you really 762 00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,360 Speaker 1: up to being a head coach? Because there's great coordinators 763 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: and when it comes time for them to start running 764 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: the show, I go, being a head coach is too 765 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,640 Speaker 1: much for you, Robert Sola, I understand. 766 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: I understand stairs Again, I got a lot of footage 767 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:28,480 Speaker 3: of that. 768 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,359 Speaker 1: When you're the DC, you can jump up and down 769 00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,080 Speaker 1: with your with you with your players and all that 770 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:34,200 Speaker 1: crazy ass stuff th Robert Sala like to do. Can't 771 00:34:34,239 --> 00:34:35,759 Speaker 1: do any of that stuff when you're the head coach, right, 772 00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,960 Speaker 1: But that's as you have to know that this is 773 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: something that you can't leave this to risk, and that's 774 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: leaving it to risk. Bill Belichick would have kicked it 775 00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:45,799 Speaker 1: out of the end What would have kicked it out 776 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: of bounds or gone for the on site cat? What 777 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,399 Speaker 1: does it matter where you give them the football back 778 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,440 Speaker 1: at right? Yes, you could start the ball back of 779 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,000 Speaker 1: your twenty yard line, but you would have fifty seconds 780 00:34:54,040 --> 00:34:56,399 Speaker 1: get down to You're just trying to kick a field goal. 781 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,960 Speaker 1: What do you You're trying to either outsmart yourself or 782 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,040 Speaker 1: you didn't think of the possi. What if he doesn't 783 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 1: kick it out of bounds in the end zone? What 784 00:35:02,239 --> 00:35:02,839 Speaker 1: if he doesn't do. 785 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,280 Speaker 3: I will say this as we've talked about ad nauseum. 786 00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 3: We had Jason locking for the first hour of the show. 787 00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,320 Speaker 3: Download the entire entirety of the podcast. 788 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:11,920 Speaker 1: That'll go up. 789 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:15,279 Speaker 3: Bush and Brandon and Alex will have that up making 790 00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: it sound so pretty.
