00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: So if you're on TikTok maybe at some point in

5
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: the last two years, there was this popular meme, if

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 2: you will, and it's this lady and she sings surprise Surprise.

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,319
Speaker 2: That's just the that's the abridged version of it. You

8
00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about, Surprise, Surprise, Surprise, surprise. You

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 2: know what I'm talking about. Iowa, Sam, you knows exactly

10
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 2: what I'm talking about. Jason Stewart's here as his Isaac

11
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 2: Glowing Crown. Surprise Surprise. Another firing in the National Football League,

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: one that you were foreshadowing yesterday, And you want to

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 2: do another victory lap note we had with Lamar Jackson.

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 3: I didn't take one yesterday. I was very humble, remember, yeah,

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 3: humble yesterday?

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 2: You were you were there was. There was a uh

17
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 2: an interesting tweet put out when John Harbaugh was fired

18
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: by the Ravens, who's by Adam Schefter, saying that seven

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: teams had reached out to him Harbaugh's agent inquiring about

20
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 2: his client services. At the time, there were six vacancies

21
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: in and plus the Baltimore Ravens. So there was a

22
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 2: team with a current head coach that was looking for

23
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 2: the possibility of getting a new head coach and was

24
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 2: interested in John Harbaugh. Would you say, would you guess,

25
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: would you speculated? Did you think?

26
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 4: Did you know?

27
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Did you connect? The Miami Dolphins is maybe being that

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 2: team that reached out to John Harbaugh.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: See, I'm going to continue my humble streak and say no,

30
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,679
Speaker 3: I did not think that. I mean, And the reason

31
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: behind it is obviously they got rid of the GM early,

32
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: they kept him around, and so obviously there were aspirations

33
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: or even fail safe set in place that if they

34
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 3: you know, in discycle, they had there, they had a

35
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: guy that they were okay with rights. That's what that

36
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: told me. But then you see the firing Harrorball and

37
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: you said it, You said this that there were reports

38
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: that seven teams were already inquiring, and people were like,

39
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 3: what they were already inquiring? He wasn't even fired yet,

40
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: So people around the league kind of had that inkling

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 3: that something should be a possibility there, and the fact

42
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 3: that Miami is one of those teams.

43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 4: It's man, it's it's crazy. When we talked about it.

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: Kind of for me, it kind of lends in the

45
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 3: same space of kind of what we talked about yesterday

46
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: with college football and the head coaching and the players,

47
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: and you know, you have these people on the contract

48
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,119
Speaker 3: or you have people that are signed on onto contracts

49
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 3: to do a job, and then we say at the

50
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 3: end of the year, Okay, we're gonna get rid of

51
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: the GM, but we're not. We're not getting rid of

52
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: you yet. We're gonna We're gonna see if we canna

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 3: work this thing out. And then something else shinier or newer,

54
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 3: pops up, and here's here's where we end up. Now

55
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: where now it seems like Harball is their guy and

56
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 3: the guy they want. Now it's gonna fall on if

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: Harrball wants that job. But yeah, man, I didn't see

58
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: this being the immediate and for them in this this

59
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 3: in this scenario, I.

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 4: Think it would be fair.

61
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: And I want to ask Jason Stewart, like, when we

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: were looking at what team as a current head coach

63
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: that could move on from their head coach now that

64
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 2: John Harball was available, that hadn't already fired their coach,

65
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: I would think playoff teams could be a possibility. And

66
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: that's where I think the other thought process went. Would

67
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: you would you say that Sean McDermott was a name

68
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,040
Speaker 2: that maybe some thought, well, geez, if if Buffalo ends

69
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 2: up getting ousted, that Sean McDermott would be a guy.

70
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: Yeah. The Bills I think were the were the team

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 5: that a lot of people just jumped to the conclusion,

72
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 5: and who knows, they could very well be in play

73
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 5: if you believe what Steve Ross said today that he

74
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 5: just sat with the coach and sat on it for

75
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 5: a couple of days and came to this conclusion. Maybe

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 5: Harbaugh isn't a part of the calculus here and maybe

77
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 5: the team that is left is still in the playoffs.

78
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: And I think if you went down team by team

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: by playoffs, like the Seahawks aren't going to get rid

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 2: of Mike McDonald, absolutely Noters aren't getting rid of Kyle Shanahan,

81
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: the Rams aren't getting rid of Sean McVay.

82
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: Broncos not Peyton.

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: Sean Bayton, No, Ben Johnson's going to be in Chicago,

84
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 2: Nick si Rown, He's going to stay in Philadelphia. So

85
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: you go down then, yeah, go more in the AFC,

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: like Rabel's not going anywhere. Jim Harbaugh is not going

87
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: anywhere with the Chargers. Liam Cohen absolutely not going anywhere

88
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 2: with Jacksonville. So yeah, so now you bring in, Okay,

89
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: maybe was it with the Steelers, Well, the Steelers wouldn't

90
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 2: go after John Harboff, they were to remave place. Yeah,

91
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: so let's let's take them off. Yeah, but there is

92
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: there is another team that's thrown in there, and that's

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers.

94
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, you looked at.

95
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 6: Me with that.

96
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: Really, I'm not saying I'm just saying, that's all I'm saying, like,

97
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: if you're if you have a current coach. And I'm

98
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 2: not throwing this out there because my biggest issue is

99
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: with the Miami Dolphins. We're gonna get to that a second.

100
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: But my point is is we don't know if it

101
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 2: was the Miami Dolphins, and it very well could have

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 2: been maybe the Buffalo Bills reaching out. It also could

103
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 2: have been maybe the Green Bay Packers. And the the

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: reason I bring that out is because I think Buffalo

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 2: is a better situation than Miami is. And let's just

106
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 2: say green Bay was like you know what, the Lafleur thing,

107
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: there's something that's just not right there. There's something not

108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 2: connecting with the fans. How about John Harbaugh to come

109
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 2: on in and do something like that would be like

110
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: if you were Green Bay, you were at policy now

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: the guy who's running the franchise, If you were Brian Goodokunz,

112
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: the general manager, you could say, when someone the caliber

113
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: of John Harbaugh becomes available, that's why we made this move,

114
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: and we brought him in like there would be reasoning

115
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 2: for it. You wouldn't fire Matt Lafleur just for an

116
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: unknown offensive coordinator. The reason I'm bringing that all out

117
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 2: is because I just think that the Miami Dolphins are

118
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 2: an absolute mess. Carrie Rhodes. Now a quarter of the

119
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: NFL is looking for head coaches. They don't have a

120
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 2: quarterback right now, we don't know who their quarterback is yet.

121
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 2: They were willing to wait a couple of days for

122
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: a lottery ticket, and that lottery ticket is John Harbaugh

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 2: with no idea and if it's going to or not right.

124
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: And it adds up to another litany of problems with

125
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins, who have been so inept as a franchise,

126
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: from the leadership of ownership all the way down. I

127
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 2: like Mike McDaniel. I really like Mike McDaniel, and it

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 2: may be a reason why I'm worked up a little

129
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: bit about this. I thought they really screwed Tua with

130
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: the messaging when they benched him. I thought it was

131
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: an awful work of trying to sell a message that

132
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 2: we're out of the playoffs. Tua is the problem here.

133
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: We're going to quinn Ewers. We're gonna go look at

134
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 2: the young quarterback. We're not even give it, by the way,

135
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 2: we're not even gonna give it to the backup Kep

136
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,640
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. Yeah, see you later, Zach. You know your

137
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 2: turn in line has been skipped. We're gonna get it

138
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: to quin Yours and guess what ends up happening. Quinn

139
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: Yours comes out and plays and actually beat the Tampa

140
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Bay Buccaneers who were in the think of the playoff hunt. Right. So, now,

141
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: after a couple of days of deliberation with Mike McDaniel,

142
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: who may have had and may have done one of

143
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 2: the greatest jobs that we've seen in the NFL and

144
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: making two a tongue of Iloa a viable quarterback with

145
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: that offense, taking them to back to back playoff berths

146
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: in his first two years. Now after two years and

147
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: maybe to his game falling off after the multiple injuries

148
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: and concussions that he has. Now it's Mike McDaniel's fault

149
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 2: that the Dolphins aren't good enough all for a lottery

150
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: ticket to hopefully get John Harbaugh when there could be

151
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 2: and quite possibly be, more appealing jobs throughout the NFL. Yeah,

152
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: and that's what bothers me so much about it. Carry

153
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: and I'll get into the history of the Dolphins, but

154
00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: it's just the chance they're gonna get rid of McDaniel.

155
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: When messaging throughout the second half of the year when

156
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 2: they fired Chris griw, was that McDaniel really the locker room,

157
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: he likes him, he's doing well, and then when they

158
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 2: get eliminated, they end up getting a win with a

159
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 2: third string quarterback. I just think that the Dolphins did

160
00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 2: him dirty. The Dolphins definitely did him dirty. And the

161
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,679
Speaker 2: thing here with me, Dan, I wouldn't see them taking

162
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: this drastic of a of a step if they didn't

163
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: know they had a really good chance of getting the

164
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,360
Speaker 2: guy they want. Now, that would be my I think

165
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 2: when I look at this from you know, a bird's

166
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 2: eye view, I would say if everything failed down the

167
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 2: stretch in a horrible way from Miami and they were

168
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: still willing to keep Mike McDaniel in that spot, I

169
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 2: would have an issue with it. But Mike McDaniel, I

170
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 2: think did a I think he did a decent job

171
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 2: this year with all the things that were happening with

172
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 2: that team, all the communication issues, all the things that

173
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 2: happened throughout the year with Tua, his stuff on the podium,

174
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, all his problems all year, players that were

175
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: leaving talking about no loyalty to that franchise. I mean,

176
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 2: these are these are Pro Bowl players. These the players

177
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: that were really good for them, right, so you know

178
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 2: that there's something bigger than Mike m Mike McDaniel's going

179
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: on there. And then to have all these things happened,

180
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 2: to be off to the horrible start, to steady the

181
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: ship and almost you know, beating the playoff hunt down

182
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 2: the stretch was a masterful job by Mike McDaniels. I

183
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,960
Speaker 2: don't know in my own heart of hearts that he's

184
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: a head coach. I think he's a great offensive coordinator.

185
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: In my opinion, I think for him getting away from

186
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 2: that situation is going to beneficial for him. Now we

187
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 2: talk about the Dolphins, They've been a lost calls forever

188
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: I played against them, they were in my division. I

189
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 2: saw him a lot. They were always pretty much in.

190
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: The bottom, you know, in the bottom of that except

191
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 3: for the one year they stowed our quarterback Chad Pennington

192
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,199
Speaker 3: and then they beat us and made it to the playoffs.

193
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: But other than that, they've just been, you know, a bad,

194
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 3: badly run franchise with a lot of names and a

195
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: lot of shiny things and a lot of people. And

196
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 3: that falls even with the organization as well, Like they

197
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 3: had all these they got the Williams sisters, they got

198
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: all these names, and they got these people that are

199
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: part of the ownership group there. They don't know about

200
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 3: football and so who's making decisions there? And I think

201
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: that's my biggest issue. And if I was horrible, why

202
00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 3: would I go into that situation?

203
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah? She was like, kids, it's a mess, and it

204
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 2: has been a mess. And I'm not going to aid

205
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: you because I'm older than you, all right, But it's

206
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 2: been a little bit since Carrie's been in the league.

207
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: And when you mentioned the Dolphins playoff, Berth that is

208
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: a high point. They won the AFC East in two

209
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: thousand and eight with Tony Sperano, right, that was the year.

210
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: That was the year.

211
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 4: That's two thousand and eight, two thousand and eight.

212
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: There are recruits going to college right now that we're

213
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: born in two thousand and eight that are getting nil deals.

214
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: That's how long ago it was since Tony Sperano has

215
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 2: been the head coach. This is what the Miami Dolphins

216
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 2: have put out there. Todd Bowles to go over for

217
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 2: a couple of games when Sperano was dismissed. Then he

218
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: had Joe philbin oh nice winning percentage of four to

219
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,640
Speaker 2: sixty two. Dan Campbell ended up having to finish the

220
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:50,439
Speaker 2: year in twenty fifteen. He thought that he did a

221
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 2: great job, but they didn't give it to him. Shame

222
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: on them. See what Dan Campbell has done now. He

223
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 2: had the Adam Gase hiring ooh twenty three and twenty

224
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: five and that was actually a playoff. Berth did a

225
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,720
Speaker 2: playoff birth with Matt Moore, think ended up being their

226
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 2: quarterback for the game against Pittsburgh. Brian Flores comes in

227
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: winning percentage of four ninety. Mike McDaniel winning percentage of

228
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 2: five point fifteen. I brought this up when they fired

229
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 2: Chris Greer mid season. Jimmy Johnson's tenure in Miami looked

230
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: like a failure compared to what he did to the

231
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. Compared to what Jimmy Johnson did with the Dolphins,

232
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 2: to everybody else that has been the head coach since

233
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 2: he left in nineteen ninety nine, it is a Hall

234
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 2: of fame resume. They went to the playoffs three times

235
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 2: in his four years?

236
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 4: Did they really?

237
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 2: Yes? They did so. They actually had success. They went

238
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 2: three times in his four years. Guess how many times

239
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 2: they've been in the playoffs since. I won't even have

240
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: you guess four times. This organization and Steven Ross isn't

241
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: fully to blaming ended up having a majority ownership of

242
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 2: the team in two thousand and nine. They probably held

243
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: on a Chris Greer too long. Maybe ultimately they decided

244
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 2: we have to clean house. But you make that decision

245
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 2: when you fire the GM midseason, to fire Mike McDaniel

246
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,439
Speaker 2: the day after, and Mike McDaniel may end up on

247
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 2: his feet. He may end up being the next head

248
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 2: coach of the Cleveland Browns. We had heard about those

249
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: links earlier at the end of the regular season. But

250
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 2: the fact is this is one of the most inept organizations,

251
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,960
Speaker 2: not only in the NFL but in sports and having

252
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: an understanding of how to succeed. And if it wasn't

253
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,199
Speaker 2: for the lowly sorry carry Jets in their own division,

254
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 2: I think we would be talking more about it. So

255
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: it's not only just a Mike McDaniel got screwed sort

256
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: of thing. This is a history with the Miami Dolphins

257
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:38,320
Speaker 2: where nothing is good. They don't go to the playoffs,

258
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,079
Speaker 2: they stink, and it's got to start from somewhere, and

259
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 2: it sure seems like it starts at the top because

260
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 2: they haven't been good for twenty five years on.

261
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 4: I love what you're saying there. It all starts at

262
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 4: the top there.

263
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 3: And you think you think about Miami as an organization,

264
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 3: you think about Miami as the city and when you

265
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 3: look at you said it certain places, I mean, the

266
00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 3: Miami Heat have won championships there. When at those games

267
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 3: are there people in the stands? Do people really care

268
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 3: about that? Like you have some fan you know, yeah,

269
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: some chans that like it and come come to be

270
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 3: seen at the games. But that's the energy in Miami

271
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 3: and when you go there as players, I think a

272
00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 3: lot of those guys aren't as committed and they have

273
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 3: all these things that are available to them, which sounds

274
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 3: weird because we're in La, right, and people win here

275
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 3: in La. So if I'm saying that to say Dan,

276
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 3: it's easily pointed at the players, and it's easily pointed

277
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 3: at Miami the city. But at the end of the day,

278
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 3: with the right people in the room, with the right

279
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 3: people making decisions, you can have a winner. So they've

280
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 3: had to fail from the top.

281
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 4: Yes, that's it.

282
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: That's the only answer to it. And I'll give you

283
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 2: an example that proves it. You just brought up the

284
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 2: heats and the success that they've had with maybe not,

285
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not a passive fan base. That's

286
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,480
Speaker 2: not what I'm saying. There is some glitz and glamorth

287
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: to Miami Arena. You know who is passionate also with

288
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 2: their team, the Florida Panthers, who are back to back

289
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 2: Stanley Cup champions in South Florida as well, you know.

290
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,280
Speaker 2: I mean it's and by the way, you know the

291
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 2: heat played downtown. Dolphins aren't downtown. Neither's the Florida Panthers.

292
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: They're out in Sunrise in their own arena, but they

293
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: figured out a way to have success. So it's not

294
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 2: just a this is where it is sort of thing.

295
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 2: You're right, It goes from the top. And honestly, I

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: blame the New England Patriots because we always looked at said, well,

297
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: what are they supposed to do? They're in the Patriots division.

298
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: So it's the Patriots greatness and the Jets ineptness that

299
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 2: has kind of masked how bad the Dolphins have been.

300
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: And unless you're a Dolphins fan or someone like me

301
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: or Jason Isaac that has grown up, when we actually

302
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:38,760
Speaker 2: remember the Dolphins being good and being a legitimate playoff

303
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: team and going to a super Bowl with Dan Marino,

304
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 2: you kind of get lost in it. But this is

305
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: this is par for the course for the Miami Dolphins

306
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 2: getting rid of Mike McDaniel for a lottery ticket on

307
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: John Harbaugh, and.

308
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: In fact that that's the only thing that we have

309
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,880
Speaker 3: as a as a litmus test for that franchise. We

310
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 3: always kind of go like default back to Dan Marino.

311
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 3: That's just that someone's just got to be someone else. Yeah,

312
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 3: maybe to you, your guy Chad Pennington like that's me.

313
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 3: Yeah right, that's the only way to go. But just

314
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: in EPNUS by the Miami Dolphins. We remember those glory

315
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 3: days they were. The Dolphins even beat the Seahawks in

316
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 3: the in the AFC playoffs in nineteen ninety nine, and

317
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 3: that was Dan Marino's last victory. They beat the Seahawks.

318
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 3: They were then crushed by Jacksonville. I mentioned they had

319
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 3: four playoff appearances. For playoff games that they've had, this

320
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: is their playoff history. They made it in the two

321
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 3: thousand playoffs two thousand and one, two thousand and eight,

322
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 3: two thousand and six, twenty twenty two, and twenty twenty three.

323
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 3: Have they won a game they The last win came

324
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,200
Speaker 3: in the two thousand playoffs December thirtieth, two thousand, in

325
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 3: overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. That's the last playoff

326
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 3: victory by the mine. Who was the quarterback man two thousand?

327
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,880
Speaker 3: I'm put on a spot report. Was it Jay Fiedler?

328
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 4: I thought maybe it was Culpepper, but I couldn't remember.

329
00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: I want to say, I'm going to break.

330
00:15:58,000 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: Between Culpepper and Marina.

331
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 2: I'm gonna bring up the they it was Jay Fiedler,

332
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: A good job, Jay Fiedler, great job. They beat Peyton

333
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 2: Manning and the Indianapolis Colts in the playoff game in

334
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 2: two thousand, two thousand, won the division. In two thousand

335
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: and eight, lost to the Ravens, lost to the Steelers

336
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 2: in that wild card game. I mentioned that Matt Moore

337
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: had to play in and then they were in the

338
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 2: two playoffs back to back in McDaniel's first year. One

339
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 2: of those, I think he had Skyler Thompson starting at

340
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 2: quarterbacks right that Bills game. That's and so by the way,

341
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: they lost like thirty four to thirty one, so they

342
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 2: were at least competitive in the game when they really

343
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:42,680
Speaker 2: didn't even have a starting quarterback.

344

Speaker 6: my wife to get there tomorrow morning. But no, man,

00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 6: there's really nothing for me to do besides just the president.

362
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 6: You know, it's up to those guys. It's up to

363
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,600
Speaker 6: Dan Lanning and his players to go out there and

364
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,840
Speaker 6: execute and put on a performance for the crowd.

365
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 3: Jonathan how how are the what are the words coming

366
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 3: out of the Oregon locker room and Dan Lanning as

367
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 3: far as attacking this game against Indiana? When you watch

368
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 3: Indiana and you look at them, obviously, everybody's kind of

369
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 3: on that bandwagon right now. They're discipline, they play, tough,

370
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,040
Speaker 3: tough nose football, good defense, smart quarterback. Like, what's the

371
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: attack coming into this game? If you know, if you

372
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 3: know any any details for us right now?

373
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 6: I mean I don't know anything you know straight out

374
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 6: the whip, but I just know that there's some things

375
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 6: that have happened on Organ's side of the ball offensively

376
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 6: with Jordan Davidson going down. So for them, you know,

377
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: you know, you always preach to your your team, it's

378
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,879
Speaker 6: not about them, it's about us, of course, right, And

379
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,959
Speaker 6: you have to make sure that you go in there

380
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 6: and you play the game that you're supposed to play

381
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 6: that day, and you're supposed to prepare for that day.

382
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 6: And so hopefully with their preparation, they're thinking about ways

383
00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,399
Speaker 6: of finding that same energy from Jordan Davidson and other guys,

384
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 6: and and that's going to be through a game plan.

385
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 6: So I expect to see some some some little wrinkles

386
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 6: here and there, because you have to win this game,

387
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 6: and so you can't leave anything on the table.

388
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 2: Jonathan Stewart Jordan gets here on Fox Sports Radio former

389
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: Oregon Duck and Carolina Panther. We'll get his thoughts on

390
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: the NFL squad a little bit later on I'm Curious.

391
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,439
Speaker 2: He's Carrie Roads. I'm Dan Byer, carry the All Pro.

392
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 2: Find him at Carrie twenty five Roads. You could find

393
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: me at Dan Byer on Fox. During my years here

394
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 2: at Fox Sports Radio, I did radio show with George reister,

395
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 2: former Oregon tight end and NFL tight end and George

396
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: now doing his thing in the media, but when we

397
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 2: would talk about Oregon, he was from kind of what

398
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 2: I feel was kind of like the launch of Oregon.

399
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 2: You were there at the end of the Blotti era.

400
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,480
Speaker 2: Then it's Chip Kelly and now Dan Lanning obviously carried

401
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 2: carrying the torch. What was it like to be an

402
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 2: Oregon Duck in a program that was just skyrocketing to

403
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: relevance and important in college football during your time?

404
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 6: I think it was authentic, you know what I'm saying,

405
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 6: Like you got the college experience. You got you got

406
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 6: the college experience in a liberal town where you know,

407
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 6: people are just and you know, they enjoyed you for

408
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 6: being a person. We weren't really viewed as you know,

409
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 6: oh my celebrities, because it wasn't that time. Even with

410
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 6: social media right life, you're you're you are tucked away enough,

411
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,960
Speaker 6: but also you're becoming innovative with Nike and all the

412
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 6: uniforms and all the resources, and so you're basically just

413
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,399
Speaker 6: you know, the college experience at Oregon was one that

414
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 6: was just something very authentic and you know, being able

415
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 6: to be a part of that growth and and the

416
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 6: uniform changes, and and and taking a chance of you know,

417
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 6: being different. You know, it helped me tremendously, just as

418
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 6: my personality grew as a as a young adult and

419
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 6: to a man, you know, taking chances.

420
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 2: Sure, And that's that's kind of what I'm curious about too,

421
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 2: because like you'll be humble, but like you were, it

422
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 2: like like everybody wanted you coming out of high school.

423
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 2: I mean, you know you we're talking at USC, P Carroll,

424
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 2: We're talking the Ohio states of the world. Like everybody

425
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 2: wanted you. And it's it's not a knock against Oregon.

426
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 2: It's just like the way that we see Oregon now

427
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six was even different than it was,

428
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 2: say twenty years ago. Was was that all into that?

429
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 3: Was?

430
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 2: Like, were you just not into like the the flash

431
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: of maybe a USC or the the hype machine that

432
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 2: can be Ohio State. Is that what appealed to you

433
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 2: about Oregon?

434
00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,679
Speaker 6: Yeah? Maybe so, Like I mean I thought to myself,

435
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 6: being at Oregon, there's a little bit more focused, you know,

436
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 6: being a college athlete. You know, leaving high school, you

437
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,879
Speaker 6: know your your your focus is Okay, I'm a student athlete.

438
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:31,040
Speaker 6: I'm a student athlete. I want to be focused, but

439
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 6: I also want to coaching, and I want an opportunity.

440
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 6: I want some exposure and an organ You look at it,

441
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 6: it's it has all those things in the right way.

442
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 6: If you're a good football player, you'll be seen because

443
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,480
Speaker 6: you you have a program that has the resources to

444
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 6: get you there. You know, coach Billotti and his and

445
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,600
Speaker 6: and his you know, coaching Tree. You know those guys

446
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 6: really they new ball right and in their own legendary ways,

447
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,919
Speaker 6: and so, I mean it was an easy decision if

448
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 6: you think about it back then. I think now it's

449
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:13,959
Speaker 6: probably even more so. You know a reason why, kid,

450
00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 6: we want to go to Oregon and a family to

451
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 6: want to choose the Oregon because of those those very things,

452
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 6: not a lot of distractions, and you go to one

453
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 6: place you're able to have an authentic experience.

454
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 3: Well, Johnthan, let's talk about your NFL tim You you

455
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 3: ended up with the Carolina Panthers and obviously had some

456
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 3: success there. This team now is I mean they kind

457
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 3: of won the division by default. I mean, you know

458
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 3: they they had a chance to win it out right,

459
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: they lost the last game, got some help.

460
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 4: They're in the playoffs, and we know you're getting it.

461
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 4: You're getting the playoffs. You have a chance.

462
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 3: This team, they're going to be playing the Rams, who

463
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: a lot of people see can be a super Bowl team.

464
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 3: What is Bryce Jong going to have to do in

465
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 3: this game? Specifically because I've been a Bryce admirer.

466
00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,119
Speaker 4: I like his story.

467
00:22:58,160 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 3: I like how we have to struggle a little bit

468
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: and find some consistency through the hard work and through

469
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,400
Speaker 3: the trenches. And now he's a playoff quarterback no matter

470
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 3: what the record is. How are they going to have

471
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 3: a chance to beat and upset the Rams this Saturday?

472
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I'm gonna start with the running game.

473
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 6: The running game hasn't been present, you know, in recent times,

474
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 6: and due to the offensive line chemistry issues that they've

475
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 6: been receiving all year, and and also just you know

476
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,239
Speaker 6: the depth. You know, guys are banged up right now

477
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 6: at that point of the season. So you kind of

478
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 6: have to figure out ways to get creative to find

479
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 6: running lagers for these running backs. Because when you do that,

480
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 6: you're able to win on first downs. You you're able

481
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 6: to keep the chains moving and that fall behind. Because

482
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 6: the way that we beat this team is Bryce taking

483
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 6: care of the ball. The ball can't be in their

484
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 6: hands and it can't be on the ground, and that's

485
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 6: fumble snaps, that's you know, handoffs, that's you know, getting

486
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 6: chased from behind, whatever it is. You have to have

487
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:04,760
Speaker 6: more awareness about that and care. And then you know,

488
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 6: you got to make sure you you're gonna have three

489
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 6: to five opportunities this game to connect on some deep shots,

490
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 6: on some big plays, and you have to take advantage

491
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:17,280
Speaker 6: of all of them. So I think for Bryce, it's

492
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 6: just playing his game whatever he has been good at

493
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 6: this year. You do that and you know opportunities will come.

494
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: Dan, are you surprised that a running back started with

495
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 4: the running game? No, not at all. Absolutely right, Well,

496
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: I know what it is.

497
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 2: Well, I was gonna say, how different, how different is

498
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:37,399
Speaker 2: it from what you and D'Angelo Williams did back in

499
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: your day in Carolina to what rico'donnell and Chuba Hubbard

500
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 2: are not trying to do this year.

501
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 6: I mean, you know, that's the same mentality we had.

502
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 6: You know, you know exactly what we're about to do.

503
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 6: Offensive line is prepared and you have to go through

504
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 6: them before you get to us. And once you get

505
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 6: to us, you better hope for not in the second level, right.

506
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 4: Hold up, No, he was a little sorry, go ahead.

507
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, did you guys match up where

508
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 4: there where?

509
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 3: There?

510
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 6: Yeah?

511
00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, do you remember playing against Kerry Roads Jonathan.

512
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 6: Stewart Man, look, hey, man, look.

513
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 4: Focused on the interesting.

514
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 2: Carrie's more than anxious to talk about it.

515
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, jatu when I when I

516
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 3: think about that, those teams for real, though, he said

517
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 3: it though the one two punts between him and Indiangela

518
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 3: Williams was just it was it was. It was tough

519
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 3: to prepare against. Right, you know, you know Jay Student's

520
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 3: gonna come downhill. He's going to be aggressive, physical d

521
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 3: Angela Williams. Even though people see him as a quicker guy,

522
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 3: a guy that can make you miss, he could. He

523
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 3: can bring a little umph as well. So yeah, exactly, Yeah.

524
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 6: They're really breaking tackle. He's like, you know, get him

525
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 6: to a second level to be a touchdown like and

526
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,640
Speaker 6: it's not because you guys are bad, just because he's

527
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 6: really good balance, you know, to have that breakaway speed unshaken.

528
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 6: That's what really made him pression.

529
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 2: Well, it was the Carolina defense that turned Matthew Stafford

530
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 2: in the Rams over three times in the regular season win.

531
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: We'll see if the defense is up to the challenge Saturday,

532
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:13,879
Speaker 2: We'll see if the Ducks are up to the challenge

533
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: Tomorrow night in the Peach Bowl in the College Football

534
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: Playoff semi final against Indiana. Jonathan, good luck with the

535
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 2: honorary duties and we'll talk to you against soon. Appreci

536
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: love it. Man than Jonathan Stewart, former NFL running back,

537
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: former Oregon Duck running back, one of the top recruits

538
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 2: in the country. What is coming out of high school?

539
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 2: Went to Oregon, left the game, seventeen hundred yard season

540
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,720
Speaker 2: at Oregon, entered the NFL Draft, decade in the NFL

541
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 2: with the Panthers, And yeah, now the honorary captain for

542
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 2: tomorrow's content.

543
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 4: Were you upset he didn't go to Ohio State. Yeah,

544
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 4: because I heard that. I yes that he was.

545
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 2: It was surprised. Could have asked him as well, but

546
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: he was a you know, he's a Washington kid, you know,

547
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 2: but going to Oregon, he's stayed a little closer at home.

548
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: But you know, didn't go to the h went to

549
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 2: the rival of the Huskies and the Oregon Ducks. But

550
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: I do find that the Oregon transition. And the reason

551
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 2: I say that is because it should be the Oregon evolution.

552
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 2: That's the way that it is, because there were different

553
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 2: different phases. Like I remember when Rich Brooks took him

554
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: to the Rose Bowl in the mid nineties with and

555
00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,479
Speaker 2: they played a great, unbeaten Penn State team. But then

556
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 2: Bellotti takes over, has his run. Chip Kelly leads him

557
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,520
Speaker 2: to a national championship game, you know, Helfritz takes over.

558
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,159
Speaker 2: They go to a championship game and lose. But then

559
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,360
Speaker 2: you have the crystal Ball Landing era, and yeah, there's

560
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 2: just it's and now it's one of the marquee programs

561
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,600
Speaker 2: in the country. And honestly, as a Big ten guy,

562
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 2: if I had to pick one school from the four

563
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,399
Speaker 2: that came over from the Pac twelve, I'm taking Oregon,

564
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 2: like the heck with USC and UCLA like Oregon would

565
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 2: be the school that you would take. And so I

566
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 2: find that their evolution over the last twenty five or

567
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: thirty years is really intriguing. He's Kerry Rhodes, I'm Dan Bayer,

Speaker 2: running back in Oregon Duck for joining us today before

576
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:24,240
Speaker 2: Oregon takes on Indiana Hiowa. Samus here, what's your lean

577
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 2: in that game? Ducks get revenge, Sam or Hoosiers end

578
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 2: up beating them both times this year?

579
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 5: Right?

580
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:37,040
Speaker 7: What I am leaning towards Oregon? I was really impressed

581
00:28:37,040 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 7: with that shut out of Texas Tech. I I I yeah,

582
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 7: I think I'm gonna go with Oregon.

583
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 4: All right, here's a good thing.

584
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 2: You can change your pick by tomorrow, so because we're

585
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 2: still a day away from it. So if you alter,

586
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 2: if you waiver, if you have second thoughts, tomorrow, we'll

587
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:52,600
Speaker 2: be back and you can change.

588
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:55,080
Speaker 7: I feel good about the Miami Hurricanes tonight. I'm a

589
00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 7: little more solid on that.

590
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 2: I think that that's a solid pick. I think the

591
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 2: solid up front and at some point all this chaos

592
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 2: has to catch up.

593
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: Yes, right, that's the part because I would go at Olden,

594
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 3: I would go at Ole miss I think their offense

595
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,880
Speaker 3: is super explosive. I think they can outscore anybody in

596
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: the country. But miamis so good upfront, and they're gonna

597
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 3: put so much pressure on Tambliss. It's gonna it's gonna

598
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 3: be tough.

599
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 2: I said a couple of weeks ago there was a

600
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 2: zero point zero percent chance that Indiana would win the

601
00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,840
Speaker 2: national championship. Yeah, I said zero point zero. It's looking

602
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 2: awful right now. But hey, I said what I said

603
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 2: because I thought that their super Bowl, their national championship

604
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: game was the Big Ten title game against Ohio State.

605
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna change my thinking. Indiana may have proved

606
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,959
Speaker 2: me wrong, but I feel like Ole Missus game championship

607
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 2: game was the Sugar Bowl against Georgia, avenging the loss.

608
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: It's in Louisiana, so much hype about what's going on.

609
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:52,240
Speaker 2: Yeah that if a week later they've got enough juice

610
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 2: with By the way, thirty three percent of the coaches

611
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 2: that like there are four coaches who coached in that

612
00:29:58,040 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 2: game that are not gonna be with them because they're

613
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 2: not now at LSU. If you can if you can

614
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 2: rev up and revive after that and win this game. Man,

615
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: kudos to you, But I think I think it's the

616
00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 2: Hurricanes with the edge. It would be kudos to them,

617
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,720
Speaker 2: but it would be a massive failure for Miami. You

618
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 2: got to win this game and this in this particular

619
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 2: situah to play a National championship game at home. Yeah,

620
00:30:18,800 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 2: and I've heard was talking to our teammate here at

621
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio, K Kreutzchmar's covering the game for Fox tonight.

622
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 2: The Fiesta Bowl says a lot of Ole miss fans

623
00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:33,600
Speaker 2: come into town, and Miami not as much because if

624
00:30:33,640 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 2: they win, they're going to be back home, right, so

625
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 2: you don't have to make the trip across the country. Plus,

626
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 2: there's no reason to change the weather, right, people like

627
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 2: want to go to Arizona for the weather and yeah,

628
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 2: we're good. Yeah they're good. They're in Miami, Like, we

629
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: don't need to do that. Apparently Giannison Tetakoupo doesn't feel

630
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: the need to put his team in any good spot.

631
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: This struck me as a Bucks fan, and I don't

632
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,480
Speaker 2: know if it resonates throughout the NBA, considering what happened

633
00:30:56,560 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 2: yesterday with Tray Young. But the Bucks lose to the Warriors,

634
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: still on the outside looking into the play in tournament

635
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 2: right now, and after an off season where we had

636
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 2: found out Yanis would have considered a trade to the

637
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 2: Knicks where the sides did have a conversation. Sam Amok

638
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 2: of The Athletic talked with Janis last night, you know,

639
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 2: one on one deal after they're lost to Golden State,

640
00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 2: and Janis basically said that there will never be a

641
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 2: moment that I will come out and say, quote, I

642
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 2: want a trade, and then he followed it up with this,

643
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: this is straight from Yannis. That's not in my nature. Okay,

644
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm invested in this team. End quote. That's the direct

645
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: quote from Yannis to Sam Amock. And it just feels

646
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 2: like a guy that just doesn't want to dump someone

647
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 2: like it really does when the other person needs to

648
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 2: get on with their life, like the Bucks need to

649
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 2: get on with their life, and you feel that everything

650
00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 2: is because everything is not great, but you feel that

651
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,280
Speaker 2: not together is going to be worse than actually being together,

652
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: and he just needs to end it. He just needs

653
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 2: to say, you have to be the bad guy. I

654
00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:10,080
Speaker 2: think I should probably play elsewhere. I think it would

655
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: be better for everyone involved. For my needs, for their

656
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 2: needs right now. We were sitting here yesterday, Carrie, and

657
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: a projected trade came up on one of the TV screens,

658
00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 2: and you asked me if I would have liked the deal,

659
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,640
Speaker 2: and it was Milwaukee giving up another draft pick, and

660
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,280
Speaker 2: I said, no, if they aren't getting draft picks and

661
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: return in any trade. And by the way, this one

662
00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: didn't even include Giannis, included other players. But I don't

663
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 2: want to be a part of it. At what point,

664
00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:37,160
Speaker 2: when you're Milwaukee, do you just say, all right, what's

665
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,320
Speaker 2: done is done. Like there's gonna be a point ten

666
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 2: years from now where Giannis will come back. He'll have

667
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 2: a statue He's the greatest Buck that ever was a

668
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 2: buck that is not going to change. If he says

669
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,720
Speaker 2: I need a new start, the NBA is different. And

670
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: him saying it's not in my nature to ask for

671
00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 2: a trade. I believe in what I'm doing, I'm invested

672
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 2: in this team is just holding the team back from

673
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,560
Speaker 2: moving on, in holding Giannis back from what could be

674
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:03,760
Speaker 2: the rest of his NBA career.

675
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 3: That's true, but it's also just him save in face

676
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 3: as well's there's been there's been so many reports so many.

677
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 3: I think people have started started to get fed up

678
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 3: with Giannis a little bit on from the social media

679
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,120
Speaker 3: side of it, from the media side of it, right

680
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 3: where I mean, even as players like he's been doing

681
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 3: things that are kind of out of character. He's been

682
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,600
Speaker 3: dunking the ball in the last second of the game

683
00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 3: and just doing like things that are kind of irritant,

684
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 3: and so I think for him to come out and

685
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 3: make those comments, I'm sure it is what you said,

686
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:33,760
Speaker 3: but also a little bit of save in face as well.

687
00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 2: He's always had that in him. Remember when he remember

688
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 2: the body checked Mike Dunleavy like early in his career

689
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: with the Bulls. This is there's a meaningless playoff series.

690
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 2: The Bucks were down by forty. Dunleavy was a former

691
00:33:43,360 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 2: teammate of his actually in Milwaukee, and just completely checked

692
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:48,720
Speaker 2: him into the second row of the court side seats.

693
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 4: It was very honest.

694
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,960
Speaker 2: He runs hot right, getting getting into it with the

695
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 2: Indiana Pacers, getting into it with He actually kept us

696
00:33:55,240 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 2: cool with Tyrese Haliburton's dad. But there have been other

697
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 2: incidents with Giannis. But this does You're right, this does

698
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,920
Speaker 2: not help. You're talking to a guy in me Carrie

699
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 2: that always got dumped. I was not the one to say,

700
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:09,919
Speaker 2: you know what, it doesn't work. And the one time

701
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:11,920
Speaker 2: that I had to do it in high school, now

702
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:15,760
Speaker 2: it was the worst thing ever. So I understand saying

703
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't want to be here anymore as difficult. But

704
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,880
Speaker 2: you have to understand, and you're an adult, You're not

705
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 2: a seventeen year old pimple faced dork that doesn't know

706
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 2: how to just say all right, enough's enough. That's what

707
00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 2: Yannis needs to say. Wow, that's a strong stand from

708
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 2: a Buck fan. And that's why I let you get there.

709
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 2: I let you just run with distent because I know

710
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 2: how important that team missing, and I know you really,

711
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 2: I know you root for them and you know it

712
00:34:38,520 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 2: in and out. So I mean, for me, yeah, just

713
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:41,759
Speaker 2: from the outside, like I said, it just looks like

714
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 2: him saving faith, but you definitely have a more of

715
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 2: a polster necesituition. They're at a stalemate and the stale

716
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: is in capital letters, because that's all they are right now.

717
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:52,879
Speaker 2: They're just stale. There's nothing exciting, there's no hope. There's

718
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: not the addition of another player that's going to turn

719
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,760
Speaker 2: things around. It's just not going to happen. He's carryer oads.

720
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 2: I'm Dan Byer. Could we be looking at a Steeler's

721
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: Panther Super Bowl? No, that's not gonna happen, but there

722
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,839
Speaker 2: are others that could be more likely. We'll talk about

723
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: a next on Fox
