1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 2: Radio RADO somehow, some way every single Sunday.

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:09,880
Speaker 3: When we reach air.

4
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:13,360
Speaker 2: Which is right now five o'clock Pacific, eight o'clock Eastern,

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: and maybe we should come to expect this from I

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: feel like I'm panting. I feel like I'm trying to

7
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: catch my breath at this hour because of what has

8
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: just unfolded and that goes all over the country. Just

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 2: as an example, and maybe you, as a former player,

10
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: can help, just explain this to me right out of

11
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: the gate. I do believe that this is the third

12
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: week in a row. And correct me if I'm wrong.

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: There have only been three weeks of the regular season

14
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 2: so far. Three each week the top one or even

15
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: two most favored teams have lost.

16
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 4: I'll give you an example.

17
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: I got one survivor pool and I ain't in it anymore.

18
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 4: That started with over eight hundred people.

19
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: Some of the picks are still on tomorrow night's game.

20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: But at this hour, of those eight hundred plus people,

21
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: do you know how many have already punched their ticket

22
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 2: to Week four? Of those eight hundred plus people, what

23
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: would your guest be?

24
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: Two fifty? Ready? Yeah?

25
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: Five five weeks ago with.

26
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 2: The possibility if tomorrow goes well for the favorites of

27
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 2: it getting up to about thirty five, that's the max.

28
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 3: What on earth is this? Like?

29
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 2: I get it. Unpredictability, blah blah blah. When you watch

30
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: what we've watched, you and I saw to your last weekend,

31
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: we're like Tampa Bay's reel man, Tampa Bay's reel and

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: bon Nick's boy, he looks kind of like a concern.

33
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 2: What causes something like that to take place? Can you

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: explain it?

35
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 3: Yes? I can't, Okay, please do being human being, that's

36
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: it that this is the only explanation. Now. I hope,

37
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 3: I hope, I hope you weren't expecting some philosophical answer

38
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 3: where I broke down the time and dimension and no, no, no, no,

39
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 3: this simple. And as I'm watching these games, I'm like, oh,

40
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: I don't know anything. I mean, I'm literally like, oh,

41
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 3: I don't I'm I'm just a passenger. I don't have

42
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 3: the directions and I don't know how to read the

43
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 3: map because things that we think would happen are not happening.

44
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 3: And it's like case in point, the best quarterbacks in

45
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: the league outside of well, he's not even playing like

46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes. But the best quarterbacks in the league are

47
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 3: all they're all throwaways. The guys who are are doing,

48
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:20,880
Speaker 3: you know, a tremendous job, they're all throwaways. Think about that. Sam,

49
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: Sam was thrown away multiple times.

50
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: Okay, that's that's one. Who else Matthew Stafford was thrown away? Yeah,

51
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: although Matthew Stafford was the number one picking.

52
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter. What I'm talking about is it wasn't

53
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: good enough. We don't want you anymore. You're right right

54
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: like that, that's the level I'm talking about. Jared Golf

55
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 3: was thrown away.

56
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: How do you feel today?

57
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: It's one thing to get benched embarrassingly as the number

58
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: one overall pick in the draft, But when.

59
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 4: Captain kick around, Andy.

60
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: Ways Up shows up and your offense in one week

61
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 2: goes from so like absolute high school play to suddenly

62
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: unstoppable thirty six points on the road. All of those

63
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: skilled position players are suddenly fantasy relevant.

64
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 4: Do you know how bad that looks for Bryce Young today?

65
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 3: It's it's a it's a death sentence, perverbably speaking in

66
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: terms of career, our starting opportunity. Let me explain to

67
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: the people listening just exactly what you mean by that. Okay,

68
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: no one outside of the quarterback position Bryce Young and

69
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 3: Andy Dalton has changed. No one outside of those two.

70
00:04:53,839 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson, Okay, we I have him on my team

71
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 3: out in fantasy football. He was never going to see

72
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: the field. I played him. I had a fee you're

73
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:11,159
Speaker 3: smarter than me. I played him, and Cuba Hubbard. I

74
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 3: played him so case in point. Week one, two receptions

75
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 3: nineteen yards, yep. Week two, three receptions fifteen yards, Rice

76
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,119
Speaker 3: Young quarterback. Week three, Andy Dalton eight receptions, one hundred

77
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: and twenty two yards and a touchdown. Touchdown. But that's

78
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 3: not it. That's not it. Okay, okay, receiver quarterback, you

79
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: get it all right, Chuba Hubbard running back. Okay, this

80
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:54,159
Speaker 3: is how important the right quarterback is. First game six

81
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 3: carries fourteen yards, two point three yards to carry. Got

82
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 3: a little better. The second week ten carries sixty four yards. Huh, okay,

83
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 3: I'm only gonna get a ball to you ten times.

84
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 3: Week three, Andy Dalton twenty one carries one hundred and

85
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: fourteen yards.

86
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 4: Don't leave out five catches for fifty.

87
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 3: Five catches for fifty five yards and a touchdown. So

88
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 3: when you look, it's a direct correlation. This is the

89
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: same exact team, and a lot of people in the

90
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: media and sports media they felt a certain type of

91
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: way about Carolina and them doing this to Bryce Young. Yep.

92
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 3: And the simple thing is, we know the roster we have,

93
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 3: and we've spent time and money into this roster, and

94
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 3: for it to look like it's looked for the last

95
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 3: two weeks, we cannot continue on this path because now

96
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 3: we look like bigger idiots. So you question them on

97
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 3: the decision to bench the first overall pick in the

98
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 3: draft from last year, yep, And you immediately see dividends

99
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: because historically, statistically, we know if you start zero to three,

100
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 3: your chances of making it to the playoffs shrink, and

101
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 3: they're diminished just right.

102
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 4: It almost almost almost never happens.

103
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 3: So if you want to save your season in a

104
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 3: division that's pretty up for grabs, then you have to

105
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 3: make a tough decision. And they did it. And it's

106
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 3: amazing what a team looks like when you have a real,

107
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 3: live quarterback. And I'm not being I don't want to

108
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 3: be too dispurging to Bryce Young. He's young, he's small.

109
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 3: The game is moving way too fast for him. Obviously,

110
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: if you've watched him play, you can see he's not

111
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 3: very comfortable. Same plays, same players, same play, same players.

112
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 3: This is how you fit out they would have came

113
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: if Andy would have came out there and got sacked

114
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: a bunch of times, it turnovers, couldn't get a yard,

115
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: then be like, oh okay, well it's you know Bryce

116
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 3: Young just doesn't have the talent around him. Well, he

117
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 3: obviously does. He obviously does. Yep, and and it's a

118
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 3: testament to ownership coaching. Hey man, we gotta make a

119
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: real tough choice. Nobody wants to bench the number one

120
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 3: pick in the draft a year before. Nobody wants to

121
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 3: do that, guy, because you have to answer that question

122
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: over and over again all year. You made a mistake.

123
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,160
Speaker 3: You made a mistake. See J Stroud's this cee Jy

124
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 3: Stroud's that you made a mistake. The only way you

125
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: get from under that mistake is to go out and win.

126
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,280
Speaker 3: Ask San Francisco. Ask San Francisco how they've been. We're

127
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: not't even talking about that anymore. That was what two

128
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: years ago, three years ago? Two we're notin't even talking

129
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 3: about it anymore. We're about to but anyway, go ahead,

130
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: But you get what I'm saying.

131
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 2: So that's well in a different way than you think.

132
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: But yes, go, I get exactly what.

133
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:28,479
Speaker 3: You're saying that that's that's coaching coaching. GM's GMing.

134
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 2: Well, here's what I see as sort of an umbrella

135
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 2: idea to what you're talking about. And it's funny because

136
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 2: you're pointing out that the throwaways have succeeded. At the

137
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 2: same time, when we talk about talent around the QB,

138
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 2: let's talk to Chicago Bears for a second.

139
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 4: It's not fair. He's only had three games.

140
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: I get it, But what did everyone say, Oh, well,

141
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 2: the Bears finally did right by their QB because they

142
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 2: put talent around him.

143
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 4: Uh huh, how's it going?

144
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 2: Because the guy you gave up that didn't have talent

145
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 2: around him is now three to zero in another city.

146
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 4: Because what actually matters for.

147
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 2: An NFL team, I don't want to hear any more

148
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: about oh, fifty five millions too much, sixty millions too

149
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 2: much quarterback coaching. That's the deal, because if you look

150
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,960
Speaker 2: around the league at the players who can suddenly pop

151
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 2: statistically when they're in a good system that's well coached

152
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,599
Speaker 2: with a good quarterback, anybody pick up Juwan Jennings on

153
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: their fantasy squad this week. Go ahead and crack a beer.

154
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: Congrats on your win. There you go, why? There you go?

155
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 3: Why? Why?

156
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: Because? And we'll get to what's going on on the

157
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 2: other side of the ball. But there's a good quarterback,

158
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: there's a good offensive system in place.

159
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 4: You can make all of these things work around you.

160
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,719
Speaker 2: So look at Andy Dalton, look at Brock Purdy, look

161
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: at all the names you just brought up. Justin Fields

162
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 2: is winning forget today. But Baker Mayfield has had a

163
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: successful year. I don't think he's turned the ball over yet.

164
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 2: All of these throwaways are doing just fine. And then

165
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: look what happens Miami when you lose a quarterback, you

166
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 2: can't function.

167
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 3: Oh goodness.

168
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,199
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna say.

169
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 2: One more time, if you paid your wide receiver thirty million,

170
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,439
Speaker 2: you done messed up.

171
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: You messed up. I messed up, you did. And I

172
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: remember us having this conversation like when is the bubble

173
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 3: gonna burst? Well, how did Brandon I you do today?

174
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 2: Let's see Brandon I Yuke had I believe he had

175
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 2: five catches for forty eight yards.

176
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: Okay?

177
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: Oh oh? And two drops? Oh, two drops?

178
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 3: Bad? Drops as well.

179
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 2: That would be drops number four and five on the

180
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: young season.

181
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 3: Hey guess what though, he got his money, got his money,

182
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 3: got his money, got his money.

183
00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 2: And Juan Jennings today went for eleven catches for one

184
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 2: hundred seventy five yards and three touchdowns. One makes seven

185
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,360
Speaker 2: point eight million dollars.

186
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 3: How lamb do? Ceedee lamb?

187
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 2: Let's take a look at ceedee lamb and a loss

188
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 2: to the Baltimore Ravens.

189
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:34,479
Speaker 4: Also to fall.

190
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: To to one and two four for sixty seven, four

191
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 2: for sixty seven. And I believe there was also a

192
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 2: lost fumble in there. Yeah, lost fumble. Yeah, sowd Tyreek

193
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: Hill do today? He's the one who set the market

194
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: at the market million dollars. He's set the market a

195
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:54,080
Speaker 2: couple of years ago. Tyreek Hill three catches for forty

196
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 2: yards on five targets.

197
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 3: Man, that seems crazy.

198
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, how did a J. Brown do today? All right,

199
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: he doesn't even.

200
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 3: Play how did DeVante Adams do?

201
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 4: Because he's Deante Adams Mexican money?

202
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: DeVante Adams Netflix four catches for forty yards lost by

203
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 2: double digits.

204
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 3: So when you ask, when is that bubblegunna burst? And look,

205
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 3: this is a one. This is one game. But but

206
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 3: what we're doing is we're explaining and showing you the

207
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: direct correlation between getting the one position right opposed to

208
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 3: the others. You can pay Tarrek Hill and Waddle as

209
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,800
Speaker 3: much as you want if you have what was the

210
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 3: kids name throwing to them? I don't even I don't

211
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 3: even know.

212
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:57,839
Speaker 2: Want it started out as Skyler Thompson, Yeah, and then

213
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:00,080
Speaker 2: he got hurt and then it turned into.

214
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 3: Him boiled in me and you you may.

215
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Remember Tim Boyle as one of the people in the

216
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: bucket of the Jets. What the hell are we going

217
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 2: to do now at quarterbacks over the last couple of years.

218
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: Hey, but guess what receivers making a lot of money? Yep,

219
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 3: severs making a lot of money. Does it equate to

220
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 3: wins in a Super Bowl championship? Obviously not.

221
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Obviously we should add we should add seven catches for

222
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 2: sixty six yards. Seven catches for sixty six yards.

223
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: That would be.

224
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:39,240
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle put together. So seven catches

225
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 2: for sixty six yards.

226
00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 3: This is this is the bubble beginning to lose air,

227
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 3: I hope. So someone has poked a hole in the

228
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 3: in this and and look, even in a win, justin Jefferies,

229
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 3: who's amazing. Yeah, six for eighty one in a touchdown.

230
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: A touchdown, it's not enough. It's not like these guys

231
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: aren't good players.

232
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 3: And good players, but you are going to move that.

233
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: Do they equate to wins? That's what we're talking about.

234
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 3: That's what the bubble is, that's what you want to

235
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 3: hold out two years. Good luck the Jamar Chase, Oh god,

236
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 3: good luck. You think they're going to be running to

237
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: the to the negotiating table after seeing this. They know,

238
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,920
Speaker 3: they're aware, they understand what's going on. All the guys

239
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 3: who set the market, all the guys who you want

240
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,320
Speaker 3: to be paid more than they got their stats up

241
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 3: and the wind losses up.

242
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Might be the first time in my life I've ever

243
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: felt like the Bengals were smart.

244
00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 3: Man.

245
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 2: But yeah, okay, let's get into it and we can

246
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: start with this time to check in and reboot on

248
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,520

300
00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about the National Football Conference for a

301
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:39,200
Speaker 2: couple of minutes. If you will, National Football Conference, big

302
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 2: fancy favorite San Francisco forty nine ers. You know, it

303
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 2: would be one thing if the Niners offense came out

304
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 2: this week and looked like it couldn't function because there

305
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 2: was no Christian McCaffrey and no Deebo Samuel and no

306
00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 2: George Kittle, and all of that would provide the forty

307
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 2: nine ers with a comfy little excuse. I don't think

308
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 2: there really are excuses. It's not like everyone would have

309
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:10,000
Speaker 2: been nice about it, but at least it would have

310
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: made sense. I would have understood. But instead Brock Purdy

311
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: came out and the forty nine ers led fourteen to

312
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: nothing after one quarter torched. The Rams went up and

313
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 2: down the field with ease, brought through eight incompletions on

314
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 2: the day and had six drops.

315
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: That's how good he was. That's how good he is.

316
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 3: That's how good he is. Thank you for saying it.

317
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 2: From that moment, when the forty nine ers were up

318
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,360
Speaker 2: fourteen to nothing, they got outscored twenty seven to ten

319
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: by a Rams team missing Pukainakua, Cooper Cup and three

320
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: of its five offensive linemen. They say, Houston, we got

321
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,960
Speaker 2: a problem. I say, San Francisco, you got a problem.

322
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:57,639
Speaker 2: Your special teams is horrible, Your defense with fancy new coordinators.

323
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 2: While Steve Wilkes got bad last year as the as

324
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: as you know, I don't want to say the scapegoat,

325
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 2: but clearly as someone who was quote not a good fit,

326
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 2: your defense was one hundred percent healthy. Your special teams

327
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: were one hundred percent healthy. Are they still the favorite

328
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 2: in the NFC?

329
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 3: Ephraim Well, the one thing we do know about this

330
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 3: Shanahan McVeigh, Uh, you know, competition, Yes. No matter how

331
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:42,639
Speaker 3: good the San Francisco for the nine ers are, they

332
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 3: struggle with the rems. Uh.

333
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: My man, look at the record now. They lost that

334
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 2: NFC championship game there three years ago. Outside of that,

335
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 2: I think this is the second time that Sean McVay

336
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 2: has beaten Kyle Shanahan in about twelve tries.

337
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 4: Are the games close.

338
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 2: Yes, do they know each other well like no other,

339
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 2: But ah, I don't know.

340
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: Man to you to your point in terms of Atlanta scores,

341
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 3: they really doing about driving down to fill with ease.

342
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:22,919
Speaker 2: Good gracious. Drake London, Kirk Cousins, huh and Drake London,

343
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 2: by the way, just want to make sure everyone knows

344
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 2: he found a new way to celebrate. Didn't want anyone

345
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: to get nervous there.

346
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 3: Everything's fine's good, everything's okay. But when you look at

347
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 3: the prob first of all, shout out to Matthew Stafford's

348
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 3: he's a gamer. And you if you knew Matthew Stafford

349
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,119
Speaker 3: and watched him in Detroit, you knew he was a gamer.

350
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:54,359
Speaker 3: Because everything went wrong in Detroit. Matthew Stafford for twelve

351
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 3: years had to do every single thing you can possibly do.

352
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 3: I believe he leads the league in fourth quarter comebacks

353
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 3: or overtime comebacks since he's been in the league because

354
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 3: of the twelve years he spent in Detroit and him

355
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: having to move mountains. That's just what he does. And

356
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 3: so when that game was coming down to it and

357
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 3: the Niners couldn't put it away, I said, oh, they're

358
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 3: in trouble. I said, this is this man thrives in

359
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 3: situations like this, and look shout out to Brock Purty.

360
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,880
Speaker 3: He played as he did.

361
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he was fantastic, he was fair, he was

362
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 2: almost perfect, almost perfect.

363
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: So don't get to you know, you know how when

364
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,360
Speaker 3: they lose everything, swell, well you Brock pretty cad. He's

365
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: missing weapons and it happens like that for him for

366
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 3: whatever reason. But it's not his fault.

367
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 2: Eight incompletions, six registered drops, rushed for forty one yards,

368
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:56,600

Speaker 3: Passes and everything you could ask.

370
00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:01,200
Speaker 2: Absolutely a fantastic stick football.

371
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 3: Game, do you know. I mean just watching him play,

372
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 3: no matter what, no matter if the defense isn't holding

373
00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: their endo the bargain, no matter if receivers are dropping

374
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,720
Speaker 3: or running backs or fumbling whatever that is. It reminds us.

375
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 3: It reminds me of our show, right, Like if I'm

376
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,600
Speaker 3: not bringing my A game right, if you are not

377
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 3: bringing your A game right, and we can't carry each other,

378
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,200
Speaker 3: we have someone we know who can carry the load,

379
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,919
Speaker 3: and that's one Steven l the saga.

380
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 6: Well, then there we go. Good evening, gentlemen, it's good

381
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 6: to hear you. And two items to pass along. Shall

382
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 6: I from a Bay Area AP writer that brock party

383
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: today and the loss had three touchdown passes no interceptions.

384
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:53,680
Speaker 6: The forty nine Ers record when they had a quarterback

385
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 6: throw three or more touchdown passes with no interceptions was.

386
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 3: Eighty one and three all time. Damn until today?

387
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 4: Good maybe one and four and one.

388
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 3: Of those losses.

389
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 6: What's with Jim Plunkett back in the nineteen seventies, so

390
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,920
Speaker 6: my goodness. Also, the writer points out that the Niners

391
00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 6: now have lost the last couple of weeks, and in

392
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 6: those games, they've had a punt block, they've allowed a

393
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 6: fake punt for a first down on a touchdown drive,

394
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 6: gave up this thirty eight yard punt return to set

395
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 6: up a game winning field goal. Also had missed a

396
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 6: fifty five yard field goal that could have sealed the win.

397
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,199
Speaker 6: And Brandon Aiyuk has less than fifty yards receiving in

398
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 6: three straight games to open the season. But I'm sure

399
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:37,199
Speaker 6: he's enjoying the money. Meanwhile, Sam Darnold is three and

400
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 6: oh so far this year, and Gino Smith is three

401

402
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: Tennessee Titans are oh and three so far. We've only

403
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 6: had one season in the entire Super Bowl era where

404
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 6: we're down to just one oh to three team this

405
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 6: early in the season here. But the Bengals could win

406
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:57,880
Speaker 6: tomorrow and get win number one. Jaguars could win tomorrow

407
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:59,840

Speaker 7: don't you know. I know, I give you too. I'll

469
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 7: give you Aaron, I give you sure, Sure, that's fair.

470
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 7: But but this is different, and uh, this is different.

471
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,440
Speaker 2: And I know people want to get into hyperbole, which

472
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 2: may well be correct, like this is all happening. This

473
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: excitement is being generated while he's not even pitching, Like,

474
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 2: let's not forget next year. In theory he'll also pitch,

475
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 2: so I don't know if he'll go down in the end.

476
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: Is the greatest player of all time or whatever? The man?

477
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: The excitement factor okay, and this is coming from a

478
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 2: Giants fan. The excitement factor is just I can't even

479
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 2: get over it.

480
00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:51,959
Speaker 3: The guys had him. You guys had a shat.

481
00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we're so close. Yeah, just just I'm told

482
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 2: a whisker away.

483
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 3: He was like, down the West coast, you guys are

484
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: he sure did? He sure did. He's like, huh, let's see.

485
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 4: Best picture sparking baseball. Nah, skip it.

486
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 2: But anyway, Umm, incredible, He's incredible. It's pretty hard in

487
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 2: the sport of baseball to have that kind of a

488
00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:17,640
Speaker 2: wow factor because I just look at it from the

489
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 2: standpoint of in any regular game, especially as a DH

490
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 2: three hour, two and a half hour baseball game, how

491
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,520
Speaker 2: many of those minutes is show hey performance?

492
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 3: Right? Yeah?

493
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: Six, maybe four?

494
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: But like, damn, you know what I mean.

495
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: It'd be like if Patrick Mahomes is playing right now

496
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 2: only came in for four plays.

497
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Only third downs. I only come in third down, just

498
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 3: like it's really something. If that was the case, then

499
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 3: the first two downs they would just take a knee

500
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,400
Speaker 3: and then just have him come in third down.

501
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 2: That's crazy, man, all right, Tyreck dot Com Studios.

502
00:29:58,000 --> 00:29:59,280
Speaker 3: Okay, let's reboot.

503
00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,200
Speaker 2: The cool thing to do in the NFC is to

504
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 2: be a former first round draft pick of the New

505
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: York Jets and then be let go because there's only

506
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,800
Speaker 2: two three and oh teams left and they're run by

507
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold and Gino Smith. So again, let's let's go

508
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 2: back to that question. You know, we're getting into that

509
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:21,560
Speaker 2: forty nine Ers game. Are they still the favorite? They're

510
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 2: in fourth place in their division at this hour. The

511
00:30:25,600 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 2: Saints and Bucks were the early like.

512
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 4: Ooh they both lost today, Lions with a nice win

513
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 4: back on track, Cowboys one and two, Eagles pulled one out.

514
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: But there are questions.

515
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 2: And then again the two teams that aren't three and oh,

516
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 2: I don't think anyone really uber believes in the Packers

517
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: quietly lost their quarterback and have gone to and oh.

518
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: Since what's happening? How about that they're starting? They didn't

519
00:30:53,240 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 3: win with Jordan Love, correct, and you know the lost

520
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: lost without them. The other one of those throwaway guys

521
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 3: at Malik willis, look, man, I equate it to being

522
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 3: in a relationship. And I do this a lot when

523
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 3: I'm talking sports, because not everybody played sports, but pretty

524
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:23,719
Speaker 3: much everybody's been in a relationship knows what that feels like.

525
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 3: And if you've been in a trauma filled relationship and

526
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 3: you get out of it and you move on and

527
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 3: you find someone that just says, hey, I just love

528
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 3: you for you and I want to see you happy.

529
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: At first, you don't quite understand it. You don't know

530
00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 3: what that is because it's weird. But then you're able

531
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 3: to tap into something that you may not even know

532
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: you had in you, your full potential. And that's what's

533
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 3: happening around the league. And that may take a long time.

534
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:15,040
Speaker 3: Took Geno nine years to realize that I am someone,

535
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 3: I am special and I can do this at a

536
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 3: high level. And you know, case in point, we're watching

537
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousins, even though he's been compensated. Nobody's ever been like,

538
00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 3: you know, even Atlanta. They gave him a bunch of money,

539
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,680
Speaker 3: but then they drafted his replacement, right. So it's just

540
00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,800
Speaker 3: you want to have someone wrap their arms around you,

541
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:43,720
Speaker 3: look at you in the face and say, hey man,

542
00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 3: we believe in you and you are enough and cut

543
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 3: out all of we don't care who you were with before.

544
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:55,080
Speaker 3: Let's start fresh and new. And I love that about

545
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 3: sports because one man's trash is another man's treasure. One

546
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 3: teams ashes another team's treasure and you get to see

547
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 3: it firsthand in sport live and in front of everybody.

548
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 3: Then you start questioning the person in the previous relationship

549
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: well what they was really what was going on over there? Right?

550
00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 3: So now everybody's looking at Chicago and everybody's looking at

551
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 3: the Jets, Like the Jets somewhere, Zach Wilson is saying, yes,

552
00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 3: so you're saying I have a chance. Zach Wilson is

553
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 3: sitting somewhere going so you're saying, I have a chance.

554
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 3: And you know, technically, yes, it's not at a great one.

555
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:46,360
Speaker 3: But wouldn't you have said that about Gino for sure?

556
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 3: Wouldn't he have said that about Sam?

557
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 4: Absolutely?

558
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 3: I mean Zach Wilson has been on league three years. Yep. Yeah,

559
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: So there is an opportunity and salvage for some of

560
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 3: these quarterbacks who feel like it just never I was

561
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 3: just never good enough. And look, I love that because

562
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 3: everybody should have an opportunity. You know, even you know,

563
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 3: Bryce Young, I'm pretty sure they're done with that experiment.

564
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 3: Now it's only been not even two years or you know,

565
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 3: he really hasn't been in the league like.

566
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 4: That, Yeah a year in two games.

567
00:34:31,320 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: But if they have success with Andy Dalton, which I

568
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 3: think they will say, they squeak into the playoffs with Andy.

569
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:49,200
Speaker 3: There's no scenario where I believe Bryce Young plays again

570
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:54,240
Speaker 3: for them. I agree with that. I mean, yeah, of course,

571
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:56,840
Speaker 3: like I just don't know. Andy Dalton may not be

572
00:34:56,960 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 3: the guy for the next you know, five ten years, Well,

573
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:05,480
Speaker 3: of course not. But they've answered the question depending on

574
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:08,120
Speaker 3: how this shakes out, that it's not, Bryce Young.

575
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 2: I love your concept, especially in that division. Look, it's

576
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,280
Speaker 2: now with Dalton in the fold. It is four teams

577
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 2: with four big name record who have all been kicked

578
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,279
Speaker 2: to the curb, many of whom, if not all, I

579
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 2: think Baker Mayfield tell me if I'm wrong. All of

580
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,000
Speaker 2: them have led teams to the playoffs before, Yes, and

581
00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:36,399
Speaker 2: they've all been kicked out and now here they are.

582
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,920
Speaker 2: Now Here they are in suddenly a competitive division, especially

583
00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 2: if the Falcons win this game tonight and they do

584
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 2: lead seven to nothing at this point. So okay, we'll

585
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: continue this conversation about what's real and what's imagined in

586
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: an NFC that, through three weeks has been dumped out

587
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 2: on the floor, so that you can restart your puzzle.

588
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,760
Speaker 2: That's what's coming up next, along with e from Salama

589
00:36:05,840 --> 00:36:06,280
Speaker 2: Mark Willard.

590
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,239

Speaker 2: These arethetirag dot com studios. Mark willard E from Salamweek three.

596
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: National Football League never fails to uh to give us

597
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: plenty to talk about, So so hit me, man, I mean, like,

598
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 2: are your thoughts like we're focused right now in the NFC.

599
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,560
Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes just got picked off in the end zone,

600
00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 2: by the way, Falcons lead seven to nothing. Steve Disaga

601
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 2: along in ten minutes with more details on that and

602
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:57,040
Speaker 2: more your expectations in the NFC? Are you still for

603
00:36:57,160 --> 00:37:01,720
Speaker 2: the moment locked in on argue there were four teams

604
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 2: that we were really expecting to be the teams and

605
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:10,160
Speaker 2: that would be San Francisco, Green Bay, Detroit and Philadelphia.

606
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 4: Are those still your favorites?

607
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: I mean you would have to. Of course, that makes sense,

608
00:37:25,280 --> 00:37:32,400
Speaker 3: right because that's for all intense purposes. That's safe. Yep,

609
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:38,680
Speaker 3: it's safe. And so when you look at the NFC,

610
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:43,400
Speaker 3: you know, we didn't know we were like, Okay, was

611
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,479
Speaker 3: Seattle Fluke was it? You know, it's geno for real,

612
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:55,280
Speaker 3: Minnesota didn't expect them to do anything, especially when j

613
00:37:55,800 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 3: McCarthy went down was JJ McCarthy went down and Sam

614
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,000
Speaker 3: Donald was there, and we felt good that Philly was

615
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,360
Speaker 3: gonna bounce back. They made some changes, some office, defensive

616
00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 3: coordinator changes, getting Saquon Barkley. You felt they stepped in

617
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,680
Speaker 3: the right direction and expecting a lot out of Baker

618
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 3: and of course Detroit with how they showed out and

619
00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:30,280
Speaker 3: you know, almost did the unthinkable. So what you didn't

620
00:38:30,320 --> 00:38:36,600
Speaker 3: expect after three weeks San Francisco to be twelfth, Dallas

621
00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 3: to be fifteenth, you know, and this is the thing

622
00:38:44,280 --> 00:38:47,879
Speaker 3: I love about football, right, so to simplify it, I'll

623
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 3: tell you this. This is what coaches do. Coaches don't

624
00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:54,919
Speaker 3: talk about we need to win ten games, We need

625
00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 3: to do this, we need to do that. Coaches talk

626
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: about they cut the season into fourths, fourths right into quarters.

627
00:39:05,800 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 3: We gotta win the first quarter. And what do I

628
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 3: mean by that? Winning the first quarter would be you

629
00:39:14,320 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 3: go three and one. You won the first quarter. Now

630
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: you try to win the second quarter, right, and as

631
00:39:23,640 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 3: you stack these quarters on top of yourself, you're giving

632
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 3: yourself the right amount of runway to really take fight

633
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:39,200
Speaker 3: and head into the playoffs. So after three weeks, you know,

634
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 3: if you're one and two. You can't win it. You

635
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 3: can just break even, which is not the end of

636
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,760
Speaker 3: the world because you can, right like, you can muddle around.

637
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 3: You can break even into of these quarters and then

638
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 3: win one and so on and so forth and find

639
00:39:56,320 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 3: yourself falling into the playoffs. So coaches are going to

640
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 3: have a different type of energy next week because next

641
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: week is important because technically no one has lost the

642
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:21,839
Speaker 3: first quarter yet, So you're going to put everything you

643
00:40:21,920 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: have into at least breaking even for those teams, you know,

644
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 3: San Francisco, the Dallas Cowboys, teams like that. You gotta

645
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,600
Speaker 3: break even and then we gotta win the second quarter.

646
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 3: This is the conversation. So you're gonna see a sense

647
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 3: of urgency. So heading into the second quarter, you'll start

648
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:44,560
Speaker 3: figuring out who's who and what teams are doing what.

649
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: That makes all the sense in the world. That makes

650
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 3: all the sense in the world.

651
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 2: It is still very very early, but concerns start to

652
00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 2: perk up a little bit.

653
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,640
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean Cowboys have given up ninety points. Yeah,

654
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 4: in three games, given up ninety points. So all right,

655
00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:05,520
Speaker 4: much more on that.

656
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,120
Speaker 2: But also coming up next, one of the AFC quarterbacks

657
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,280
Speaker 2: suddenly has some question marks.

658
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 4: We'll ask those coming up.

659
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 2: On into the Night breaking Down Week three NFL broadcast

664
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:41,200
Speaker 2: Ephim not his fault by any stretch today. In fact,

665
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:45,040
Speaker 2: he came into this game undefeated on the season until

666
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 2: a loss today. And I know that he was hurt

667
00:41:50,719 --> 00:41:53,520
Speaker 2: before the game was started, and he was hurt even

668
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 2: more in the game, and I've been told that he

669
00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: was in a walking boot after the game. And I'd

670
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:03,160
Speaker 2: be very prized if he doesn't now miss some time,

671
00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 2: maybe even multiple games. And I'm talking about Justin Herbert.

672
00:42:07,640 --> 00:42:11,200
Speaker 2: But I do think it's time for some questions there.

673
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 2: And I've seen other players around the league have it

674
00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:18,000
Speaker 2: sort of held against them when they quote can't stay healthy.

675
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:24,359
Speaker 2: But even aside from that, like is this guy who

676
00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:28,479
Speaker 2: we thought he was over the last few years when

677
00:42:30,920 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 2: the disappointment in the standings was never really held against him.

678
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:41,400
Speaker 2: It would be pointed toward the organizational structure or what

679
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 2: have you. But I would argue a quarterback who had

680
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 2: all the weapons that he would need early in his career,

681
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: Keenan Allen and Mike Williams and Austin Eckler in the

682
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,000
Speaker 2: backfield and all the things that he's at at his disposal.

683
00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:57,359
Speaker 2: Still no playoff wins, only one playoff appearance, and now

684
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:00,320
Speaker 2: Jim Harbaugh comes in, turns it into a running team.

685
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 2: They're off to a good start, but now it sort

686
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,120
Speaker 2: of feels a little bit wobbly out of the gate.

687
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,040
Speaker 4: With today's developments.

688
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 2: What are your current feelings on the career arc of

689
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert?

690
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 3: Look I like Justin Herbert. I like Justin Herbert because

691
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,640
Speaker 3: I mean, just looking at his numbers, nobody's thrown for

692
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: more yards on the first three or four years of

693
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 3: their career than he has. Now, he's had some of

694
00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:33,319
Speaker 3: the worst coaching you can have, and we know that

695
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:38,440
Speaker 3: Brandon Staley was I can't even put into words the

696
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:43,839
Speaker 3: amount of ways that he could dream up to lose

697
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 3: a game defensively. It just as a defensive coach, you

698
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,400
Speaker 3: would think at least that part of that side of

699
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 3: the ball was effective, which it wasn't. Some of the

700
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 3: decision making it was a myriad of things, and so

701
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,279
Speaker 3: I think Justin Herbert is that guy. I think he

702
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:12,799
Speaker 3: can be that guy. They haven't had the success they've expected,

703
00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,120
Speaker 3: but they also haven't had the leadership that they needed

704
00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 3: for it. Said success, and having Harball come in, be

705
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: more run centric centric and have him making timely throws

706
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 3: because he can make every throw. We've seen him make

707
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 3: every throw. Have him come in and make timely throws

708
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 3: is how Harball structures his teams. We know this, and

709
00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 3: I think if he can stay healthy. I mean, he's

710
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,879
Speaker 3: getting hit, but he's getting he's getting hit a lot, yep.

711
00:44:48,520 --> 00:44:52,120
Speaker 3: And the thing with quarterbacks who can make every throw,

712
00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 3: they tend to hold the ball just a tad bit

713
00:44:55,280 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 3: too long because you're always looking to make the throw, yep.

714
00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:06,000
Speaker 3: And so just getting him used to being on time

715
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: in terms of getting rid of the ball will save him.

716
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 3: But look, there's a myriad of teams out there who

717
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:17,200
Speaker 3: would sign up for Justin Herbert.

718
00:45:17,239 --> 00:45:19,239
Speaker 4: I can tell you that sure, Oh gosh yeah.

719
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,960
Speaker 2: Like by no stretch, am I suggesting that we're questioning

720
00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: whether or not he's good. What's interesting to me is

721
00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:30,640
Speaker 2: when you go through the league sort of figuring out

722
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:36,359
Speaker 2: when does a quarterback bear responsibility for something? And when

723
00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,200
Speaker 2: does he not like to me? And I'm not saying

724
00:45:40,200 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 2: this is fair or even right. I'm just talking about

725
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 2: the way our world works. We know that the eyeballs,

726
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:51,000
Speaker 2: the attention, the credit, and the blame skew way too

727
00:45:51,080 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 2: heavy in the direction of the quarterback. Although you and

728
00:45:56,360 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 2: I started off the show sort of detailing how there's

729
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 2: absolutely no way that you can diminish their importance, I

730
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:08,800
Speaker 2: just mean wins, losses, etc. We tend to not really

731
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 2: be able to contextually go too far beyond quarterback, head

732
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,600
Speaker 2: coach and then that usually that's it. That's as far

733
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 2: as we're going to assess things. For some reason, I'm

734
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 2: even looking at quarterbacks who are doing well, you know

735
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:28,720
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like take Jalen Hurts for example. Jalen

736
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:33,440
Speaker 2: Hurts is two and one. If it's a bottom line business, well,

737
00:46:33,719 --> 00:46:36,080
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts has been to a Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts

738
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 2: has been to multiple playoffs. Jalen Hurts is two and

739
00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,719
Speaker 2: one this year and in first place. But right now

740
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 2: walking through Philadelphia, there's not a lot of comfort in

741
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,520
Speaker 2: being Jalen Hurts. What is it about? Justin Herbert that

742
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:56,719
Speaker 2: has given him the immunity.

743
00:46:56,160 --> 00:47:04,400
Speaker 3: Belt because of the like I would probably say, the

744
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,839
Speaker 3: history of the franchise he's playing for has a lot

745
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 3: to do with it. It. We saw justin Herbert his

746
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:25,480
Speaker 3: first start when Tyrod Taylor had a punctured lung and

747
00:47:25,520 --> 00:47:28,960
Speaker 3: they were playing Kansas City and they tapped him on

748
00:47:29,000 --> 00:47:32,520
Speaker 3: the sideline and said, hey, you gotta you gotta start today.

749
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 3: And he went out and beat the Chiefs and Patrick

750
00:47:37,160 --> 00:47:42,160
Speaker 3: Mahomes and everybody was like, whoa wait a minute. And

751
00:47:42,160 --> 00:47:45,320
Speaker 3: then he proceeded to break the rookie records for passing,

752
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,400
Speaker 3: so on and so forth, and there was a glimmer

753
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:52,799
Speaker 3: of hope, and then that hope was dashed by you know,

754
00:47:52,960 --> 00:47:57,319
Speaker 3: organizational things in terms of coaching, you know, scheme. With

755
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 3: all of that he put up, the numbers just didn't

756
00:48:00,239 --> 00:48:05,720
Speaker 3: have anything to show for it. Well, on the flip

757
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:12,719
Speaker 3: side of that, you know, people equate like Philly is

758
00:48:12,760 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 3: Philly now okay, Like you know, we know the boots

759
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:18,280
Speaker 3: Santa Claus throw the batteries at you with the snowballs.

760
00:48:18,880 --> 00:48:23,680
Speaker 3: We know Philly is a lot more aggressive of a

761
00:48:23,800 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 3: place than a no mad homeless Charger team. Where is

762
00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,360
Speaker 3: the Chargers fan base.

763
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 2: Well, there's your answer right there, and I know that

764
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 2: there will be people listening who will maybe be sort

765
00:48:39,320 --> 00:48:40,960
Speaker 2: of like kind of offended by this.

766
00:48:41,080 --> 00:48:42,840
Speaker 3: Well they know the truth, they really well.

767
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 2: And so yes, I know there are people who call

768
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 2: the Chargers their team, but when you collectively want to

769
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,280
Speaker 2: refer to the fan base, it doesn't exist.

770
00:48:55,239 --> 00:48:56,760
Speaker 4: It doesn't exist rarely.

771
00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,240
Speaker 2: Is there actually what we would call in the NFL

772
00:48:59,320 --> 00:49:04,839
Speaker 2: a home environment for the Chargers that rarely exists, that

773
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:09,680
Speaker 2: exists sort of like if the Jags visit LA. There

774
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,919
Speaker 2: are a couple other teams out there that can visit

775
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 2: LA and it actually be a traditional home environment. So

776
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 2: you have no home field advantage, and you also you

777
00:49:20,200 --> 00:49:26,000
Speaker 2: have no pressure, Like you have no pressure. Nobody is

778
00:49:26,160 --> 00:49:31,440
Speaker 2: there to get angry or question anything or nountability.

779
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 3: It's accountab.

780
00:49:33,280 --> 00:49:36,920
Speaker 2: There's no drum beat, there's no like sports radio following

781
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,520
Speaker 2: the Chargers and angry caller like, there's none.

782
00:49:40,600 --> 00:49:41,840
Speaker 4: They're just it doesn't exist.

783
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:45,600
Speaker 2: So that that becomes I would imagine, at least from

784
00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,880
Speaker 2: that corner of the world, a pretty comfortable place for

785
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 2: Justin Herbert.

786
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, because you get to live and you get

787
00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,600
Speaker 3: to make mistakes and you know, try to write those

788
00:49:55,640 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 3: mistakes without the pressure of do it now right, because

789
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 3: think about it. If it were that type of pressure

790
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:08,879
Speaker 3: and fan base, they would have replaced Brandon Saley years ago.

791
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: Remember they got rid of all of the coaches except

792
00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 3: for him, and we said on now, I said, well,

793
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 3: well that doesn't make sense. You don't cut the body

794
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:25,160
Speaker 3: of the snake off and then add a new body

795
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:30,799
Speaker 3: and the head is the same. And it panned out

796
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,280
Speaker 3: exactly how we thought it was gonna pan out. Sore,

797
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 3: but there, like, I just imagine if they were fan outrage,

798
00:50:40,040 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 3: Like if when you moved them to Los Angeles and

799
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:47,279
Speaker 3: you played at a tennis stadium, do you think you

800
00:50:47,320 --> 00:50:56,560
Speaker 3: can do that in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh or Kansas City?

801
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 3: Do you think you could play your home games in

802
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 3: a tennis stadium and people be okay with that? Oh?

803
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:12,640
Speaker 3: Not only that one hundred and twenty miles away from home. Yep.

804
00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 3: So the Chargers are able to get away with a

805
00:51:17,120 --> 00:51:20,480
Speaker 3: lot of things other fan bases wouldn't have. Oh no,

806
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,400
Speaker 3: we're not doing that. You think you can do that

807
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:28,000
Speaker 3: to Buffalo? No? Man. I was in London last year

808
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 3: for the Buffalo Jaguars game. Man it was rocket in

809
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:36,480
Speaker 3: there with Buffalo fans in London.

810
00:51:37,640 --> 00:51:42,120
Speaker 2: Oh, of course, I would say there are four franchises

811
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:47,600
Speaker 2: in the entire NFL where you're kind of tucked into

812
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:51,400
Speaker 2: a not that pressurized environment.

813
00:51:52,920 --> 00:51:54,759
Speaker 4: It's both of the teams in LA.

814
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:58,160
Speaker 2: And again I'm not saying that this means that nobody's

815
00:51:58,200 --> 00:51:59,279
Speaker 2: there to root for them.

816
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 3: You know, there are levels to this.

817
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,120
Speaker 2: Sixty five percent of that building today with San Francisco

818
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 2: forty nine er fans, that's not me eyeballing it. That's

819
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 2: using data from the actual ticket agencies. Like they're just

820
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:16,279
Speaker 2: you know, they won a Super Bowl. The parade was

821
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:19,120
Speaker 2: just more kind of like a barbecue.

822
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:19,719
Speaker 3: Right.

823
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 2: So it's both the LA teams, It's the Cardinals and

824
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 2: the Jags. Outside of that, there's there's like sizeable passionate

825
00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,160
Speaker 2: moving groups.

826
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:36,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you have you have to appease your fan base

827
00:52:37,320 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 3: when you're making decisions, and you don't care how your

828
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:47,000
Speaker 3: fan base feels. That's what the Chargers do. And that's

829
00:52:47,080 --> 00:52:55,280
Speaker 3: why Justin Herbert doesn't get what you know, you know, Phillies,

830
00:52:55,760 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 3: Justin I mean, Jalen hurtskids, right, that's why because you

831
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 3: can get away with it, that's all. And that's a

832
00:53:07,160 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 3: that's a real thing. There's no accountability. This'spano's family has

833
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 3: been doing whatever they wanted.

834
00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,440
Speaker 2: I mean he can do whatever they do, whatever they

835
00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:17,280
Speaker 2: want to do.

836
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:23,640
Speaker 3: Oh, it's crazy. Now. I think with hardball being there,

837
00:53:23,960 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 3: it's a little different. It's a little different because he's

838
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,840
Speaker 3: bringing a different type of a different level of accountability

839
00:53:32,360 --> 00:53:40,239
Speaker 3: and energy into the building that needed it. Right, So

840
00:53:40,600 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 3: he himself has some and checks and balances that need

841
00:53:44,960 --> 00:53:47,160
Speaker 3: to be checked off. It's some things that you need

842
00:53:47,200 --> 00:53:50,640
Speaker 3: to adhere to to be on his football team. And

843
00:53:50,680 --> 00:53:53,640
Speaker 3: I think the Chargers need that. They need that type

844
00:53:53,680 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 3: of leadership. Are they just just keep doing what they've

845
00:53:59,040 --> 00:53:59,439
Speaker 3: been doing?

846
00:54:00,040 --> 00:54:02,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean they're going to be in football games.

847
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:05,280
Speaker 2: They're averaging. Their defense is giving up eleven points a game.

848
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:08,880
Speaker 2: By the way, you keep mentioning Brandon Staley, who is

849
00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: a defensive coach and left the Chargers, and I'll repeat.

850
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:16,960
Speaker 4: They're now allowing eleven points a game. And do you

851
00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:19,279
Speaker 4: know where Brandon Staley ended up? You know where he

852
00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:20,960
Speaker 4: is right now, Thailand.

853
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 3: No, he is not. He has a job.

854
00:54:23,360 --> 00:54:25,719
Speaker 2: He is actually he is not a defensive coordinator, but

855
00:54:25,760 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 2: he is the lead assistant to the defensive coordinator with

856
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:37,600
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers. How's it going? How's

857
00:54:37,600 --> 00:54:37,879
Speaker 2: it going?

858
00:54:39,120 --> 00:54:39,400
Speaker 6: Yeah?

859
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:41,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah yeah. All right.

860
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:45,759
Speaker 2: If we had given you a scenario that has actually played.

861
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:49,120
Speaker 4: Out, it's reality. But if we had said it to

862
00:54:49,239 --> 00:54:51,520
Speaker 4: you three weeks ago, you would have.

863
00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 2: Said, ooh, quarterback controversy with that team. But I don't

864
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,600
Speaker 2: know if there actually is. Let's find out if there

865
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,160
Speaker 2: is one. We'll talk about that coming up next with

866
00:55:02,320 --> 00:55:06,200
Speaker 2: Ephrom Salam Mark Willard, Fox Sports Radio. Another touchdown for

867
00:55:06,239 --> 00:55:10,200
Speaker 2: the Falcons. It's now fourteen to seven Sunday Night Football.

868
00:55:10,880 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 2: Steve de Seger eight minutes away live tie rack dot

869
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:15,760
Speaker 2: Com Studios.

870
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 3: All Right, man, what do you do.

871
00:55:18,080 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 4: With Russell Wilson?

872
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:23,680
Speaker 3: Now? You hold on to them and hope that Justin

873
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:27,680
Speaker 3: Fields doesn't get hurt hurt? Okay, I mean you're paying

874
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:31,839
Speaker 3: a backup quarterback a million dollars. Yep, that's it. That's it.

875
00:55:32,840 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 3: You got to take the name recognition off of it. Right.

876
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 3: You have a team that's really working, it's moving for

877
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:44,920
Speaker 3: whatever reason. Justin Fields fits.

878
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 4: I mean, it's funny, it does. They look they're three

879
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 4: and oh and it is a results based business and

880
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 4: they are three and oh and we have already detailed

881
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,840
Speaker 4: that the quarterback gets a bunch of credit whether he

882
00:56:04,920 --> 00:56:08,280
Speaker 4: deserves it or not. And I'm not saying he doesn't.

883
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,919
Speaker 2: I do just want to, like, let's take a look

884
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,919
Speaker 2: at the three games, and I'd like to know if

885
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:20,440
Speaker 2: this is sustainable because in the three games, Justin Fields

886
00:56:20,640 --> 00:56:26,160
Speaker 2: is in charge of the offense, and the offense has

887
00:56:26,239 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 2: scored fifty one points. That is, that is seventeen points

888
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:38,399
Speaker 2: per game, which is fine, guess is it? I mean,

889
00:56:38,440 --> 00:56:42,000
Speaker 2: look again, the defense is allowed twenty six points in

890
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:42,840
Speaker 2: three games.

891
00:56:43,400 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 4: That is the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.

892
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 3: Burg Steelers. Though, this is right, right, So this is

893
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:53,759
Speaker 3: not an aborigine. This is not like, well, I don't

894
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 3: know how they're doing this. It's the Pittsburgh Steelers. Yeah,

895
00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:02,120
Speaker 3: they this is what they do. Yes, Ben Roethlisberger was

896
00:57:02,239 --> 00:57:06,000
Speaker 3: able to be Ben Roethlisberger as a rookie because of

897
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 3: the defense. Yes, there's been three head coaches because of

898
00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:21,680
Speaker 3: the defense they made the they have never Mike Tumlan

899
00:57:21,720 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 3: has never ever lost a season. He's never had a losing.

900
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,280
Speaker 4: Season and he won't this year either.

901
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,560
Speaker 3: Would that be because of the defense or the offense.

902
00:57:31,920 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 3: Now some years it's a combination of both.

903
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 2: It's usually traditionally because of the defense, because you.

904
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 3: Have to have it no matter what, of course, no

905
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 3: matter what your offense can do, no matter how many

906
00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:48,040
Speaker 3: points you can put up, you gotta have. You gotta

907
00:57:48,080 --> 00:57:50,520
Speaker 3: be able to get stops at San Francisco today.

908
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 4: Well asked the Dallas Cowboys last year.

909
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:56,400
Speaker 2: You can, you can get to the playoffs, but you

910
00:57:56,440 --> 00:57:59,800
Speaker 2: can't win in the playoffs unless you can stop other.

911
00:57:59,680 --> 00:58:04,880
Speaker 3: People got that. The Pittsburgh Steelers are built for the playoffs.

912
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 3: You know why, because defense travels. There is no crowd noise,

913
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:16,320
Speaker 3: there isn't any of that. Your defense travels. It goes

914
00:58:16,440 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 3: with you. I've always said a young quarterback's best friend

915
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:27,120
Speaker 3: is a defense. Yep, running back and tight end, offensive line, yes,

916
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:32,440
Speaker 3: we need those, but to not always have to play

917
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: from behind is a godsend for a young quarterback. Trying

918
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:43,600
Speaker 3: to figure it out to be constantly in games and

919
00:58:43,640 --> 00:58:47,400
Speaker 3: not have to pass the ball forty five fifty times

920
00:58:48,720 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 3: is a godsend. Yeah, that is how right? Like justin

921
00:58:57,360 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 3: field through the ball thirty two times, they ren the

922
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:06,080
Speaker 3: ball thirty one times. That's called balance. That's called balance.

923
00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:11,919
Speaker 2: You know what I keep thinking of when I look

924
00:59:11,920 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 2: at this team because it's three and zero and it's

925
00:59:15,680 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 2: only week three. But I want to circle back to

926
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 2: something that you and I talked about off the top

927
00:59:19,800 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: of the show, and I'll say it slower and louder

928
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:29,360
Speaker 2: if I need to. If you broke off twenty eight,

929
00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:34,720
Speaker 2: twenty nine thirty million plus for your receiver, you messed up.

930
00:59:37,360 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 3: Period.

931
00:59:38,960 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that if you did it, you can't win.

932
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't mean that they won't perform.

933
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:45,080
Speaker 3: Say the weekend.

934
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:47,520
Speaker 4: We're not saying that they're very good players.

935
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:50,320
Speaker 2: The point is, do you know how many different places

936
00:59:50,320 --> 00:59:52,520
Speaker 2: I could go around on a football field and point

937
00:59:52,560 --> 00:59:54,960
Speaker 2: to and be like, would rather put money there, would

938
00:59:55,040 --> 00:59:57,760
Speaker 2: rather put money there, would rather put money over there.

939
00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:59,960
Speaker 4: I'd rather put money at the quarterback.

940
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,760
Speaker 3: I would rather put I would rather put at the quarterback, quarterback,

941
01:00:03,800 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 3: and left tackle, left tackle, edge.

942
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 4: Rusher, cornerback, middle linebacker.

943
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 2: I would rather put money in all of those places.

944
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 2: Prior to getting a receiver. What were the Steelers doing

945
01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,960
Speaker 2: all August? What were they doing? You can ask any

946
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Steeler fan. You all were begging and hoping and pleading

947
01:00:28,560 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 2: to get Brandon Nyuk in a trade. You had Mike

948
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:37,840
Speaker 2: Garatfolo and Ian Rappaport and Jay Glazer literally to the

949
01:00:37,840 --> 01:00:42,920
Speaker 2: point of exhaustion because of the Brandon Nyuk story and

950
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 2: whether he would get traded, and had the Niners and

951
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:47,040
Speaker 2: Steelers come to an agreement and now we've got to

952
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 2: decide this that And that's what the Steelers were doing

953
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:53,360
Speaker 2: because the word from Pittsburgh was we have no receiving core.

954
01:00:53,520 --> 01:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Like George Pickens is nice, he's young, he's volatile, but

955
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:02,320
Speaker 2: we have like no receiving core. Well you're three and zero,

956
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:08,400
Speaker 2: but Ceedee Lamb held out one and two, Brandon Aiyuk

957
01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 2: held out one and two. I'm looking around who else

958
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 2: who else made?

959
01:01:17,440 --> 01:01:17,680
Speaker 3: Oh?

960
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:18,880
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, that's right.

961
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:26,280
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase out oh and two and loud about it, like.

962
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 3: The receivers matter, hey man, this much? No not, they

963
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 3: do not matter this much. And I love what Pittsburgh

964
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 3: is doing. I love the fact that it's ugly, it's

965
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 3: not sexy. Justin Field, justin Fields, man. And we saw

966
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:50,640
Speaker 3: this towards the end of the year in Chicago. That's

967
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 3: why people were like, well, should they keep them? Should they? Right?

968
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:59,040
Speaker 3: Like we, hey man, look it is what it is,

969
01:02:00,480 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 3: and we can we can after Steve, we can talk

970
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 3: about you know, Caleb, we talk about yes, yes, yes,

971
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,920
Speaker 3: because I have some thoughts there, but we're not writing

972
01:02:09,960 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 3: those guys off after three games. Justin Fields and we

973
01:02:12,720 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 3: talked about this in the preseason. Neither one of them

974
01:02:15,720 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 3: blew me away. But what I did say about justin

975
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 3: Fields was it was exciting. Yeah, when the pocket broke down,

976
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:26,720
Speaker 3: which it did a lot, he extended plays. If you

977
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 3: can do that, then you have a chance. But it

978
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 3: wasn't like he was extending plays and running down the field.

979
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:40,880
Speaker 3: He was actually passing from the pocket. He only has

980
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:45,760
Speaker 3: six carries for six yards, that's it, but he threw

981
01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:50,280
Speaker 3: for two hundred and forty five yards and a touchdown.

982
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 3: That's justin Filds. We're talking about three and Oho. There

983
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 3: is no quarterback controversy. There's justin Fils and you have

984
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:03,720
Speaker 3: a really good, seasoned backup quarterback who you're not paying

985
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 3: any money. Perfect situations, perfect, perfect for them. Just like

986
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:16,920
Speaker 3: every thirty minutes past the hour, we walk into a

987
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:20,480
Speaker 3: perfect situation. And that's we get to hear from my

988
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 3: guy Steven p this say.

989
01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,680
Speaker 6: Good evening again, gentlemen, You had talked earlier about the

990
01:03:27,680 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 6: Cowboys and all the points they've been given up, even

991
01:03:30,160 --> 01:03:33,080
Speaker 6: before they gave up the four touchdowns today and lost

992
01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 6: to Baltimore. In their last two home games, including that

993
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:40,760
Speaker 6: playoff loss, Dallas had allowed ninety two points, which is

994
01:03:40,800 --> 01:03:44,080
Speaker 6: their most over any two game span at home since

995
01:03:44,200 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 6: nineteen sixty, which was their inaugural season. And you talked

996
01:03:48,320 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 6: about the defense of Pittsburgh. They've scored about fifty points

997
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 6: so far this season total in three games, and they're

998
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:57,160
Speaker 6: not just three and zero, they have a two game

999
01:03:57,240 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 6: lead in the division already. As asolute favorite stat going

1000
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 6: into this weekend was about coach Mike Tomlin's teams win.

1001
01:04:05,840 --> 01:04:10,400
Speaker 6: His club scores one offensive TD or less, he has

1002
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 6: a winning record. The rest of the NFL has a

1003
01:04:14,280 --> 01:04:18,320
Speaker 6: winning percentage of two twenty seven in that scenario since

1004
01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,160
Speaker 6: Tomlin was hired over fifteen years ago. And sure enough

1005
01:04:21,160 --> 01:04:24,840
Speaker 6: today it's mid fourth quarter, they have only one touchdown

1006
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 6: and they were winning. Eventually it was ten points in

1007
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:30,040
Speaker 6: the fourth quarter and twenty to ten the final over

1008
01:04:30,080 --> 01:04:33,760
Speaker 6: the Chargers in Pittsburgh. Today, quarterback Justin Fields is three

1009
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,600
Speaker 6: to zero with the Steelers had a touchdown run touchdown pass,

1010
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 6: one interception, Pittsburgh's d with five sacks. Quarterback Justin Herbert

1011
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:44,040
Speaker 6: of the Chargers left in the second half aggravated an

1012
01:04:44,040 --> 01:04:47,000
Speaker 6: ankle injury. He's in a walking boot, and linebacker Joey

1013
01:04:47,040 --> 01:04:50,120
Speaker 6: Bosa left with a hip injury. The Charger offense with

1014
01:04:50,200 --> 01:04:54,080
Speaker 6: ten drives ten first downs. Dallas lost at home twenty

1015
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,960

1016
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,960
Speaker 6: and fifty one yards rushing and two scores. Ravens led

1017
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:01,880

1018
01:05:01,920 --> 01:05:04,360
Speaker 6: it was twenty eight to six with under ten minutes

1019
01:05:04,400 --> 01:05:07,320
Speaker 6: to go. One thing about the Cowboys they have a

1020
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 6: very impressive and entertaining kicker. Brandon Aubrey. Yes, one of

1021
01:05:11,240 --> 01:05:13,920
Speaker 6: the guys from the Spring League, kicked a sixty five

1022
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 6: yard field goal today. The league record is sixty six

1030
01:05:39,520 --> 01:05:42,480
Speaker 6: Seattle twenty four to three over the Dolphins. Seahawks are

1031
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,919

Speaker 4: Back to you, all right, great step, Steve appreciated.

1062
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:23,800
Speaker 2: As always, Thank you, Steve ty Raq dot com Studios. Okay,

1063
01:07:23,880 --> 01:07:29,240
Speaker 2: let's talk about Caleb Williams. We'll see Jayden Daniels tomorrow night.

1064
01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:34,680
Speaker 2: Bo Nicks a difficult first three week stretch until today

1065
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:39,280
Speaker 2: until today. JJ McCarthy obviously is not going to play

1066
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,200
Speaker 2: football this year, but kind of looking at the at

1067
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:46,280
Speaker 2: the rookie QBS Drake May got in on Thursday night.

1068
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:47,959
Speaker 2: I don't know if you hung out all long enough

1069
01:07:47,960 --> 01:07:48,400
Speaker 2: to see that.

1070
01:07:49,080 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah I did.

1071
01:07:50,280 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 4: My man almost got himself killed.

1072
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 2: I was just like, you know, like it's all to

1073
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 2: me one of the things you really noticed. And this

1074
01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,440
Speaker 2: is not going to be some wow opinion or whatever.

1075
01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 2: But all of these guys can throw, they've all got

1076
01:08:06,080 --> 01:08:11,440
Speaker 2: great arms, but vision and sort of that intuitive awareness

1077
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:14,280
Speaker 2: of what's going on in the pocket. To me, that's

1078
01:08:14,480 --> 01:08:17,720
Speaker 2: the entire key to quarterbacking. I know everyone wants someone

1079
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 2: who can run. Now, Tom Brady couldn't move, he was

1080
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,799
Speaker 2: a statue, but his movement within the pocket to avoid

1081
01:08:24,880 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 2: things was absolutely brilliant and next level. And that's what

1082
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 2: I see around the league that a lot of these

1083
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 2: young guys or backups just flat out don't have. And

1084
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 2: you see it from Caleb Williams especially. I think that

1085
01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 2: there's still a future of for sure. I don't know

1086
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,600
Speaker 2: where this is going for Caleb, but right now he

1087
01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:51,120
Speaker 2: just looks to me like someone who's realizing the things

1088
01:08:51,160 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: he could do in college that don't work, and he's

1089
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:55,120
Speaker 2: still working through that.

1090
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:01,720
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Look he has unbelievable talent. Okay, that's

1091
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 3: not a question. The problem I'm having what's going on

1092
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 3: in Chicago is they have to figure out a way.

1093
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:15,560
Speaker 3: First of all, I'm not satisfied with the offensive coordinator,

1094
01:09:15,840 --> 01:09:21,559
Speaker 3: play the scheme, play calling. To me, you're exposing him

1095
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 3: to too much. He was sacked again four times. Of course,

1096
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 3: he's holding on to the ball a little bit too

1097
01:09:28,320 --> 01:09:34,720
Speaker 3: long for my liking. But this young man in a

1098
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:45,240
Speaker 3: one score game threw the ball fifty two times. He

1099
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 3: threw the ball fifty two times. They ran the ball

1100
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 3: twenty eight times, eight times. You're going to get him killed.

1101
01:09:58,720 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 3: Three things can happen when you pass the ball. Two

1102
01:10:01,439 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 3: of them are bad. And so if they don't figure

1103
01:10:09,479 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 3: out a way, their defense plays pretty well. They do.

1104
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 3: Defense keeps them in it, So you have to know

1105
01:10:18,479 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 3: that and lean on them. You cannot keep putting your

1106
01:10:23,760 --> 01:10:31,320
Speaker 3: quarterback in harm's way, right like, you have to be

1107
01:10:31,439 --> 01:10:35,240
Speaker 3: able to chip right like. I would prefer them handing

1108
01:10:35,240 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 3: the ball off two times on first down and get

1109
01:10:38,240 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 3: four yards and make it third and six, opposed to

1110
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,000
Speaker 3: passing on first down sack or something. Now it's second

1111
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 3: and fifteen, holding penalty first and twenty, So you have

1112
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:57,800
Speaker 3: to start playing the percentages. We have to put them

1113
01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:02,640
Speaker 3: in positions where we can get the ball out of

1114
01:11:02,680 --> 01:11:08,639
Speaker 3: his hands in a manageable down and distance. It's gotta happen,

1115
01:11:08,920 --> 01:11:12,240
Speaker 3: because if it doesn't, and you asked Caleb Williams to

1116
01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 3: throw the ball fifty two times a Sunday, he's not

1117
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 3: going to survive.

1118
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 4: Uh.

1119
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:20,360
Speaker 3: It's too many.

1120
01:11:20,800 --> 01:11:23,240
Speaker 2: Uh, There's there's no question about that. This is the

1121
01:11:23,840 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 2: franchise that that.

1122
01:11:26,560 --> 01:11:27,799
Speaker 3: Was of Walter Payton.

1123
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 2: I just don't recognize this brand of Bears football who

1124
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 2: gave up on David Montgomery so that he could be

1125
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,760
Speaker 2: a star on a different team within the division. Those

1126
01:11:38,840 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 2: resources that you used, I know it was a trade,

1127
01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 2: but the resources you used to go get Keenan Allen

1128
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 2: should have been used to, for instance, overpay Saquon bar Man.

1129
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 3: I would have gave him everything, like kid if you.

1130
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 2: Put well, especially like if you were going to go

1131
01:11:56,840 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 2: draft Roma Doonsay and break off DJ More one of

1132
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 2: those contracts.

1133
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 4: What exactly did you think that.

1134
01:12:04,240 --> 01:12:07,800
Speaker 2: Always hurt Keidan Allen was going to provide you were

1135
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 2: going to provide a nice coach on the sidelines, coaching

1136
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 2: the young receivers in his hat in Jersey, because that's

1137
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 2: what it is. Well, then then then wait a year

1138
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,360
Speaker 2: or two and hire him as a consultant.

1139
01:12:23,360 --> 01:12:26,360
Speaker 3: I don't know. And that's like that just you got it.

1140
01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:29,400
Speaker 3: You can't ask Caleb Williams. And I know everybody thinks

1141
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,840
Speaker 3: he's the the second Coming, and he may very well

1142
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,519
Speaker 3: turn out to be that, but not today and not

1143
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:41,400
Speaker 3: this year. Not today and not this year. So to

1144
01:12:41,479 --> 01:12:44,840
Speaker 3: ask this young man to throw the ball fifty two

1145
01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 3: times is out of control. To me. It's a recipe

1146
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:59,559
Speaker 3: for a disaster. And twenty nine the first week, thirty seven,

1147
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,479
Speaker 3: the next week, fifty two this week. Do you see

1148
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 3: a pattern? Yes?

1149
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:10,880
Speaker 4: Yes, you have an organization that is leaning too hard,

1150
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 4: way too much on him, on a player who has

1151
01:13:15,160 --> 01:13:17,200
Speaker 4: played three football games in his life.

1152
01:13:17,479 --> 01:13:22,320
Speaker 3: I mean, they're dumping everything on his shoulders in saying

1153
01:13:22,560 --> 01:13:25,519
Speaker 3: save us, and that is not how you do this.

1154
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 2: Speaking of young quarterbacks, one of them is going to

1155
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:35,680
Speaker 2: be ready to go at some point, and what do

1156
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 2: you do with him if things keep going the way

1157
01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 2: they're going.

1158
01:13:39,680 --> 01:13:41,040
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I'm talking about.

1159
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:43,000
Speaker 2: Coming up here in just a second, we're live in

1160
01:13:43,080 --> 01:13:46,360
Speaker 2: the Tirack dot Com studios with e from Salama, Mark Willard.

1161
01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 4: Week three Fox Sports Radio.

1162
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:57,040
Speaker 2: Okay, it's the Tireck dot Com Studios, Week three Red

1163
01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:57,840
Speaker 2: Zone Radio.

1164
01:13:57,920 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 4: We're watching Sunday Night football.

1165
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:02,600
Speaker 2: The Falcons lead the Chiefs fourteen to ten, but the

1166
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:06,840
Speaker 2: Chiefs right now in the high red final seconds of

1167
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 2: the first half. We will keep you up to date

1168
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 2: and Steve de Sega will be along in about thirteen minutes.

1169
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:17,320
Speaker 2: All right, this is a way too early conversation, but

1170
01:14:17,400 --> 01:14:18,759
Speaker 2: what the hell, it's sports radio.

1171
01:14:18,840 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 3: Let's have it.

1172
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 2: The Minnesota Vikings used a very early first round draft

1173
01:14:25,960 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 2: pick on a quarterback. Their defense looks Pittsburgh Steelers esque.

1174
01:14:33,160 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 2: They look really tough at home. Momentarily, I felt better

1175
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 2: about the forty nine er loss in Minnesota last week

1176
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:42,559
Speaker 2: because I watched what Minnesota did this morning to the

1177
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 2: Texans offense. They've given up thirty points in three games.

1178
01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:49,599
Speaker 2: You don't need to be a math major to work

1179
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 2: that out. That's really really good. They've scored eighty five,

1180
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:58,439
Speaker 2: also really good. That's number two in the entire NFL

1181
01:14:58,520 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 2: in point differential. They are three and zero. Sam Darnold

1182
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:08,839
Speaker 2: has been really good, really good? Is he a reclamation project?

1183
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,320
Speaker 2: There have long been people around the league that have

1184
01:15:11,479 --> 01:15:15,400
Speaker 2: always thought, boy, if Sam just got a situation, the

1185
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:17,960
Speaker 2: arm talent is really really good. I don't know where

1186
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: the rest of the season is going to go, but

1187
01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,280
Speaker 2: what happens if the Vikings have a really good season?

1188
01:15:25,520 --> 01:15:29,600
Speaker 2: What happens there? Do you Green Bay Packers, JJ McCarthy,

1189
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:33,320
Speaker 2: which is to say, a first round draft pick quarterback

1190
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:34,719
Speaker 2: and you're just willing to let him.

1191
01:15:34,600 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 3: Sit there for I think you ride that. I think

1192
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 3: you do. And the reason I say that is because

1193
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 3: what do you have to lose? He's on a rookie contract,

1194
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:52,680
Speaker 3: so you're going to disturb the rhythm and flow of

1195
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 3: the boat to prove a point to people who don't

1196
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 3: really matter you as long as you're winning. Now, say

1197
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:11,160
Speaker 3: Sam Donald does this thing and they go deep. Since

1198
01:16:11,400 --> 01:16:13,680
Speaker 3: it's too early, but since we're doing it, let's just

1199
01:16:13,720 --> 01:16:17,960
Speaker 3: say they get to the NFC championship game. Okay, do

1200
01:16:18,040 --> 01:16:20,760
Speaker 3: you mean to tell me you're gonna replace that quarterback?

1201
01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:26,920
Speaker 3: Here's the problem with JJ McCarthy. Here's the problem. Sam

1202
01:16:27,040 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 3: Donald is on a one year contract, So the problem

1203
01:16:31,400 --> 01:16:34,519
Speaker 3: becomes if you do want to keep him.

1204
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,840
Speaker 2: You've got to sign him, and you damn well better

1205
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 2: believe there are going to be multi year offers out there,

1206
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,800
Speaker 2: because I can already tell you can look around the

1207
01:16:44,880 --> 01:16:51,800
Speaker 2: league and from the Raiders to potentially the Tennessee Titans

1208
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:57,240
Speaker 2: to gosh, who knows what's going to happen in Miami. Now,

1209
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 2: I don't even know what's going to happen in the future.

1210
01:16:59,680 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 2: There the New York Giants, they're like the Panthers.

1211
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:05,639
Speaker 3: Hell they know, Sam.

1212
01:17:06,160 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 2: I mean, you look around the league and you gotta

1213
01:17:09,200 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 2: think there will be suitors willing to go multiple years.

1214
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:16,120
Speaker 2: And so for the Vikings to keep him, they would too.

1215
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:24,920
Speaker 3: Look it, now, Sam Donald has been through the muck.

1216
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,519
Speaker 3: Right when they beat San Francisco, he had a lot

1217
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:36,519
Speaker 3: to say to the San Francisco coaches, Right, y'all didn't

1218
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 3: want me, Okay, whatever. You don't want to jump out

1219
01:17:46,600 --> 01:17:52,479
Speaker 3: of the spaceship before you get to your destination. Right,

1220
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 3: So if they come to you and they want to

1221
01:17:54,479 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 3: sign you to a two year deal for whatever the

1222
01:17:56,560 --> 01:17:59,960
Speaker 3: number is that they can have, right, whatever it is,

1223
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:04,719
Speaker 3: you throw that out the window and you go play

1224
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:09,839
Speaker 3: for the Raiders, or you go play for you know whoever,

1225
01:18:12,080 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 3: and it's just not quite the same. You find yourself

1226
01:18:17,439 --> 01:18:21,520
Speaker 3: back in the hole you were in and the abusive

1227
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 3: relationship you were in before because you're chasing something, or

1228
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 3: you can be like I like this, they like me.

1229
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 3: And if they're willing to give you two more years

1230
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:47,240
Speaker 3: at a great price, now your value in open market.

1231
01:18:47,600 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 3: And because look, then JJ McCarthy can sit for three years,

1232
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:54,040
Speaker 3: he'd be a better quarterback for sitting for three years.

1233
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,800
Speaker 2: I mean, Michael Pennix is I don't know when he's

1234
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 2: going to play football.

1235
01:19:00,200 --> 01:19:03,639
Speaker 3: Right right, So that's not the end of the world.

1236
01:19:06,479 --> 01:19:12,120
Speaker 3: It'll allow him to really be a pro and and

1237
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 3: get to know what being a pro is about, expectations,

1238
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:19,160
Speaker 3: all of those things. And you know, God forbid, something

1239
01:19:19,160 --> 01:19:20,920
Speaker 3: happened to Sam. He can step in and he can

1240
01:19:20,960 --> 01:19:24,960
Speaker 3: be great. Now Sam gets hurt, he comes in, he's winning.

1241
01:19:25,280 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 3: That's in a whole nother conversation. But as of right now,

1242
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:35,680
Speaker 3: if I'm Sam Donald and you're able to play in

1243
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:39,440
Speaker 3: a place where you feel comfortable with a great offensive

1244
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:45,720
Speaker 3: mine San Diego State, just fyre just gonna put that

1245
01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 3: out there. Astecs were everywhere. This feels home. This feels

1246
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 3: like home, This feels safe. So I wouldn't be so quick,

1247
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:58,479
Speaker 3: No matter what my agent was saying, I wouldn't be

1248
01:19:58,520 --> 01:20:00,639
Speaker 3: so quick to pack myself and run about the house.

1249
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:02,960
Speaker 3: That's all I'm saying. I hear you, man. And what

1250
01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,840
Speaker 3: is that. No one's gonna pay Sam Donald fifty five

1251
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:06,599
Speaker 3: million dollars a year.

1252
01:20:06,680 --> 01:20:08,559
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, it's not it's not going to be that.

1253
01:20:09,040 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 3: No.

1254
01:20:09,280 --> 01:20:11,519
Speaker 4: But you can have one of those mid tier deals.

1255
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, what do you make it? Like that?

1256
01:20:13,320 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 2: The Gino Smith Baker Mayfield And that's fine. Yep, you

1257
01:20:16,880 --> 01:20:20,320
Speaker 2: could get one of those. I mean, look, his career

1258
01:20:20,439 --> 01:20:23,160
Speaker 2: quarterback rating is seventy nine point two. You want to

1259
01:20:23,160 --> 01:20:25,599
Speaker 2: know what it is this year so far through three games,

1260
01:20:26,800 --> 01:20:29,320
Speaker 2: one hundred and seventeen point three.

1261
01:20:29,479 --> 01:20:32,080
Speaker 3: Now, look, this is way too early to be to

1262
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:35,439
Speaker 3: be signing him up and giving them long term of course.

1263
01:20:35,479 --> 01:20:38,840
Speaker 3: But what we said at the beginning of this hypothetical

1264
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 3: is if he gets him to deep into the playoffs

1265
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 3: and all of that, then that's a real conversation.

1266
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:44,479
Speaker 5: Mm hmm.

1267
01:20:45,280 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be so fast to leave if I were him. Yeah.

1268
01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 2: No, like situation for Sam Donald matters. There's no question

1269
01:20:52,479 --> 01:20:55,960
Speaker 2: about that all right, We're heading into our final hour,

1270
01:20:56,080 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 2: following along Sunday Night Football and guess what else we're

1271
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:02,360
Speaker 2: gonna do next? Oh, how about them Cowboys? That's coming up.

1272
01:21:05,320 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 2: Let's ride. We're going through all of it and leave

1273

Speaker 2: it nothing out. We're broadcasting live from the ti rack

1278
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:27,120
Speaker 2: this show at all, you and I spent I think

1279
01:21:27,160 --> 01:21:29,880
Speaker 2: a fair bit of time in the months of July

1280
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 2: and August scratching the heads about what the Dallas Cowboys

1281
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,760
Speaker 2: were doing. I found it to be one of the

1282
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:43,960
Speaker 2: most awkward off seasons of anybody in the NFL. Maybe

1283
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,680
Speaker 2: not the most like volatile that might have gone to

1284
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:51,559
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers, but the Cowboys sort

1285
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:55,120
Speaker 2: of like kept kicking the can down the road on

1286
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 2: two things that we all damn well knew they were

1287
01:21:57,800 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 2: gonna do, which is paid dot Com Prescott and Ceedee Lamb.

1288
01:22:02,120 --> 01:22:04,280
Speaker 2: And then they also kicked the can down the road

1289
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:06,719
Speaker 2: literally to the point where it fell off a cliff

1290
01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 2: on things that I think people were hoping that they

1291
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:13,000
Speaker 2: would do, which is like, I don't know, address the

1292
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:19,840
Speaker 2: running back room, addressed the defense, which last year fooled everybody.

1293
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:24,800
Speaker 2: I want to say that loudly. The defense last year,

1294
01:22:24,880 --> 01:22:28,680
Speaker 2: which won you a couple of fantasy games when they

1295
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:33,680
Speaker 2: happened to be facing the New York Giants, fooled everybody

1296
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:36,880
Speaker 2: because in the big moments in their season last year,

1297
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football against San Francisco, Round one at home

1298
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:43,519
Speaker 2: against the Green Bay Packers, in the big moments, their

1299
01:22:43,560 --> 01:22:48,960
Speaker 2: defense got absolutely exposed. The good news for them this year,

1300
01:22:49,160 --> 01:22:50,639
Speaker 2: they're not hiding in the weeds.

1301
01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 4: Everybody can see it.

1302
01:22:52,800 --> 01:22:57,439
Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys are a mediocre football team right now.

1303
01:22:57,479 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 3: And you and I I don't know if.

1304
01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 2: You even know this because you do a better job

1305
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: of staying off Twitter than I do. But you and

1306
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,559
Speaker 2: I actually took some heat when they won their Week

1307
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 2: one game in Cleveland and we sort of saw through it.

1308
01:23:10,479 --> 01:23:14,360
Speaker 2: We're like, this isn't right. Something doesn't look right with

1309
01:23:14,360 --> 01:23:17,200
Speaker 2: with what they're doing. And people are like, oh my gosh,

1310
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:19,040
Speaker 2: they're won by double digits on the road. Why are

1311
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:22,320
Speaker 2: you criticizing them? Well, how are we doing now? How

1312
01:23:22,360 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 2: are we doing now? Two home games and you've given

1313
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,120
Speaker 2: up a goodjillion points.

1314
01:23:30,720 --> 01:23:34,479
Speaker 3: Look, man, what I do know for a fact is

1315
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:41,280
Speaker 3: Dallas Cowboy fans are Look, and I don't want to

1316
01:23:41,280 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 3: be disparaging, but some of the most delusional fans on

1317
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:49,519
Speaker 3: the planet are because every year since their last Super Bowl,

1318
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 3: they're winning the Super Bowl again. Tony Romo's gonna win

1319
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:55,839
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl. But look, they take on the energy

1320
01:23:55,920 --> 01:24:04,880
Speaker 3: of their owner. And what we do know is they're

1321
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:09,200
Speaker 3: like a BBL. You know what a BBL is. A

1322
01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:16,360
Speaker 3: bbut they're very popular, mostly with women, but men get bbls.

1323
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 4: Too, a big box of love.

1324
01:24:18,080 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 3: No Brazilian butt lifts. You ever been standing behind somebody

1325
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:27,919
Speaker 3: in line and it looked like they got a wagon

1326
01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:33,040
Speaker 3: attached to their back and you're like, wait a minute,

1327
01:24:33,160 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 3: that can't be your wagon. Your your axles don't even

1328
01:24:37,240 --> 01:24:46,439
Speaker 3: support that. Right. To some people, bbl's look good, right,

1329
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,760
Speaker 3: there's no substance behind it. To some people, they're like

1330
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 3: the bigger, the better. Oh. But to me, I'm like,

1331
01:24:55,320 --> 01:25:00,360
Speaker 3: I like realness, I don't And look, it's a it's

1332
01:25:00,360 --> 01:25:05,759
Speaker 3: a preference, sure, I like realness. So when they're beating

1333
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:11,480
Speaker 3: up on all these teams, you're looking at a BBL.

1334
01:25:13,080 --> 01:25:15,960
Speaker 3: It's a great point. But when something real walks in

1335
01:25:16,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Speaker 3: front of you, then it's like, oh, oh, I can

1336
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:25,960
Speaker 3: see the difference. I can see the difference between the

1337
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 3: forty nine ers, I can see the difference between Dallas

1338
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:30,920
Speaker 3: and I'm speaking last year. I can see the difference

1339
01:25:30,960 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 3: between the Green Bay Packers and the Dallas Cowboys. Like

1340
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:44,400
Speaker 3: I can see the difference in that. Yeah, y'all look good.

1341
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:47,559
Speaker 3: You went out and you spent a bunch of money

1342
01:25:48,080 --> 01:25:52,760
Speaker 3: dak CD, bunch of money out there, made yourself look good.

1343
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:59,840
Speaker 3: At the surgery, you look good. But over time the

1344
01:26:00,280 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 3: comes out. So for me, the Dallas Cowboys are the

1345
01:26:06,760 --> 01:26:08,839
Speaker 3: BBL of the NFL.

1346
01:26:10,520 --> 01:26:16,000
Speaker 4: It's just a phenomenal point. If you, I mean, I

1347
01:26:16,040 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 4: could list it for you. And there's a couple of outliers.

1348
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:23,719
Speaker 2: Saturday December thirtieth last year, they took on the Detroit Lions.

1349
01:26:23,760 --> 01:26:28,479
Speaker 2: You remember, remember before we made fun of Dan Campbell

1350
01:26:28,479 --> 01:26:31,240
Speaker 2: for what he did in the playoffs in San Francisco.

1351
01:26:31,320 --> 01:26:35,599
Speaker 2: Do you remember Saturday December thirtieth with the we're going

1352
01:26:35,680 --> 01:26:39,280
Speaker 2: for two and then the penalty and we're still.

1353
01:26:39,000 --> 01:26:41,160
Speaker 3: Going for two going from two.

1354
01:26:41,200 --> 01:26:44,000
Speaker 4: From the seven yard line and lose the game by one.

1355
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 3: You remember that?

1356
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,640
Speaker 2: Yes, all right, so there was that. So okay, you

1357
01:26:47,680 --> 01:26:51,040
Speaker 2: beat Detroit partially because their coach is a crazy person.

1358
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:55,000
Speaker 2: You beat Philadelphia by twenty. That was the week after

1359
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:58,559
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers completely undressed them and ruined their season.

1360
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:03,000
Speaker 2: Outside of that, let's add in Cleveland this year. Here

1361
01:27:03,120 --> 01:27:05,519
Speaker 2: is the list of who the Dallas Cowboys have defeated

1362
01:27:05,880 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 2: in the last two years. The New York Giants twice,

1363
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:11,640
Speaker 2: the New York Jets last year with no quarterback, the

1364
01:27:11,680 --> 01:27:16,160
Speaker 2: New England Patriots no quarterback. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers,

1365
01:27:16,160 --> 01:27:20,080
Speaker 2: they beat the Rams, they beat the Panthers, the Commanders,

1366
01:27:20,640 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 2: the Seahawks, and the Commanders again. That's the end of

1367
01:27:25,120 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 2: the list. But when they played Miami on the road,

1368
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,439
Speaker 2: they lost. When they played Buffalo on the road, they

1369
01:27:31,479 --> 01:27:35,719
Speaker 2: lost by three touchdowns. When they went to Philadelphia before

1370
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:39,599
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers undressed them, they lost. When they

1371
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:43,640
Speaker 2: went to San Francisco, they lost by thirty two. And

1372
01:27:43,680 --> 01:27:48,080
Speaker 2: then this year when they're home to the New Orleans

1373
01:27:48,120 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 2: Saints and the Baltimore Ravens, two teams I believe to

1374
01:27:51,200 --> 01:27:51,639
Speaker 2: be real.

1375
01:27:52,920 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 4: They lost.

1376
01:27:54,760 --> 01:28:01,120
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are a Hollywood set. They are completely fake.

1377
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 2: So get on the tour bus and drive through Universal

1378
01:28:06,920 --> 01:28:10,200
Speaker 2: Studios the way you do and look at all of

1379
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:11,440
Speaker 2: the fake buildings.

1380
01:28:11,960 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 4: You can ooh ah, take pictures, and then go home.

1381
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:20,840
Speaker 2: And when you get home, I hope that your house

1382
01:28:21,000 --> 01:28:23,720
Speaker 2: is real, because the Cowboys is not.

1383
01:28:25,520 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 3: That's exactly what a BBL is perfectly said.

1384
01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:34,280
Speaker 4: I mean, I like your analogy better, but it's they

1385
01:28:34,320 --> 01:28:36,760
Speaker 4: both work because they're both true.

1386
01:28:37,080 --> 01:28:41,000
Speaker 3: Right, there's showing to be something that's not real, and

1387
01:28:41,040 --> 01:28:43,680
Speaker 3: when it boils down to it, you have to be

1388
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:51,240
Speaker 3: real to compete in the playoffs. There're no mistakes. How

1389
01:28:51,360 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 3: you can add the best surgeon in the world just

1390
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 3: don't work. It just don't work. And so you got

1391
01:28:59,800 --> 01:29:06,840
Speaker 3: all this money, get all his money tied in, and

1392
01:29:06,920 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 3: everybody's lining up. Just see the natural.

1393
01:29:13,560 --> 01:29:15,160
Speaker 4: How many yards? Don't look?

1394
01:29:16,400 --> 01:29:21,280
Speaker 2: How many yards do you think the Cowboys leading rusher

1395
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 2: for the season three games? How many yards do you

1396
01:29:26,920 --> 01:29:29,040
Speaker 2: think that their leading rusher has right now?

1397
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:33,680
Speaker 3: Forty you're actually.

1398
01:29:33,280 --> 01:29:36,439
Speaker 2: A touch low, but you're not very far off at all.

1399
01:29:37,640 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 2: The answer is fifty six yards.

1400
01:29:40,040 --> 01:29:40,519
Speaker 3: Wow.

1401
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 2: For their leading rusher, and it happens to be two

1402
01:29:45,080 --> 01:29:51,120
Speaker 2: different people. Ricoddal and Zeke Elliott both have fifth yards rushing.

1403
01:29:51,240 --> 01:29:56,760
Speaker 2: Both are averaging significantly below four yards per carry. Their

1404
01:29:56,880 --> 01:30:00,960
Speaker 2: third leading rusher is actually Ceedee Lamb with the three

1405
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,479
Speaker 2: carries that he's gotten out of the backfield. He's their

1406
01:30:03,560 --> 01:30:12,160
Speaker 2: third leading rusher with three total carries. So, like, I know,

1407
01:30:13,040 --> 01:30:17,200
Speaker 2: the players play, but when I look at the Dallas Cowboys,

1408
01:30:17,880 --> 01:30:20,680
Speaker 2: I have to assess the number one problem and it's

1409
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 2: the front office. Oh, the front office of the Dallas Cowboys.

1410
01:30:25,600 --> 01:30:27,920
Speaker 3: Is the leading piece of.

1411
01:30:27,960 --> 01:30:33,160
Speaker 2: Blame pie for this situation. I know they knew that

1412
01:30:33,200 --> 01:30:35,640
Speaker 2: they needed to pay Dak. You can do that, and

1413
01:30:35,680 --> 01:30:39,960
Speaker 2: you need to pay CD even though that's just like

1414
01:30:40,080 --> 01:30:42,600
Speaker 2: an unfortunate part of the industry right now, because I

1415
01:30:42,640 --> 01:30:44,120
Speaker 2: don't think receivers should get that.

1416
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,080
Speaker 4: But you knew you were going to do those two things.

1417
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:52,120
Speaker 2: I just don't see that as preventative to being able

1418
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:54,080
Speaker 2: to do other things with your team. And I don't

1419
01:30:54,160 --> 01:30:57,759
Speaker 2: know why the Cowboys seemed to think that that meant, well,

1420
01:30:57,880 --> 01:31:00,559
Speaker 2: that's it, there's nothing else we can do. The Eagles

1421
01:31:00,560 --> 01:31:05,920
Speaker 2: are paying their quarterback and two receivers and they've found

1422
01:31:05,960 --> 01:31:08,280
Speaker 2: a way to do other things with their roster, Like

1423
01:31:08,320 --> 01:31:10,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, they got Saquon Barkley to go run

1424
01:31:10,479 --> 01:31:13,479
Speaker 2: the ball and look at the dividends that that's paying.

1425
01:31:14,160 --> 01:31:17,280
Speaker 2: He's got like five touchdowns and their two victories this year.

1426
01:31:18,600 --> 01:31:25,599
Speaker 2: So I just I don't understand structurally what the Cowboys

1427
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:25,920
Speaker 2: are doing.

1428
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:32,160
Speaker 3: Just wait till people freak out next year when they

1429
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:35,000
Speaker 3: have to play, Well, they can't pay bike up Parsons,

1430
01:31:38,479 --> 01:31:43,000
Speaker 3: like they have some trouble coming down the road, darn right,

1431
01:31:44,280 --> 01:31:50,200
Speaker 3: and people are going to go crazy. For real, They're

1432
01:31:50,200 --> 01:31:57,120
Speaker 3: going to go crazy because yeah, rents do and they

1433
01:31:57,160 --> 01:32:03,760
Speaker 3: can't pull that falling down the stairs stuff shout out

1434
01:32:03,800 --> 01:32:07,520
Speaker 3: to coming to America.

1435
01:32:09,000 --> 01:32:11,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, they probably won't pay Michael Parsons although he's not

1436
01:32:11,920 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 2: playing all that well.

1437
01:32:12,920 --> 01:32:17,880
Speaker 3: He's not. And look, he's a tremendous talent. And I

1438
01:32:17,920 --> 01:32:24,080
Speaker 3: think if he were in a dominating defense, if he was,

1439
01:32:24,520 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 3: if he was in Pittsburgh and you can allow him

1440
01:32:28,720 --> 01:32:36,760
Speaker 3: to roam and attack different gaps, it'd be great, right,

1441
01:32:36,840 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 3: Because you got TJ. Watt coming off one end and

1442
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 3: you put Michael Parsons on the other end, you have

1443
01:32:42,240 --> 01:32:45,559
Speaker 3: a problem on your hands. But the thing that you

1444
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:49,000
Speaker 3: can do, you can run right at him. He will

1445
01:32:49,040 --> 01:32:50,800
Speaker 3: dip out of He will try to get out of

1446
01:32:50,840 --> 01:32:55,479
Speaker 3: the way of a blocker opposed to taking them on right.

1447
01:32:55,720 --> 01:33:00,439
Speaker 3: So you can design different runs to take advantage of that.

1448
01:33:04,280 --> 01:33:08,800
Speaker 3: And so he's a specialist. Remember, they didn't know whether

1449
01:33:08,840 --> 01:33:10,479
Speaker 3: he's going to be off the ball. On the ball

1450
01:33:10,520 --> 01:33:12,080
Speaker 3: they did, They were trying to figure out what he

1451
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:14,400
Speaker 3: He's a tremendous talent. And I'm not taking anything away

1452
01:33:14,400 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 3: from Michael Parsons. I wouldn't want to block them all game,

1453
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:22,120
Speaker 3: but in the context of their defense and what they

1454
01:33:22,200 --> 01:33:30,960
Speaker 3: have now, he's like a luxury item and you can't

1455
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 3: sometimes you can't afford the luxury items. That's where I

1456
01:33:39,200 --> 01:33:44,479
Speaker 3: see the Dallas Cowboys. You know they're at right now.

1457
01:33:44,479 --> 01:33:46,840
Speaker 3: And you know, do you We heard him on this podcast.

1458
01:33:46,880 --> 01:33:50,960
Speaker 3: It's a must win. We heard all the stuff. We

1459
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:53,439
Speaker 3: heard all the stuff. He has his own podcast. We

1460
01:33:53,439 --> 01:34:03,920
Speaker 3: can talk to him his words. The problem is when

1461
01:34:03,960 --> 01:34:06,639
Speaker 3: you don't live up to expectations, you have to keep

1462
01:34:07,120 --> 01:34:12,160
Speaker 3: answering the questions over and over again, and then it

1463
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:16,920
Speaker 3: becomes nauseating, and then you start feeling a certain type

1464
01:34:16,920 --> 01:34:22,960
Speaker 3: of way. So I'm be real interested to see how

1465
01:34:22,960 --> 01:34:29,280
Speaker 3: this podcast goes. Yeah, what happens when you open yourself

1466
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:29,800
Speaker 3: up to it?

1467
01:34:30,160 --> 01:34:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know how many teams have given up more

1468
01:34:31,840 --> 01:34:35,200
Speaker 2: points than the Cowboys this year in the entire NFL.

1469
01:34:36,680 --> 01:34:41,599
Speaker 4: Two two two, the Panthers and the Rams. Okay, that's it,

1470
01:34:42,479 --> 01:34:42,920
Speaker 4: that's it.

1471
01:34:43,080 --> 01:34:46,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, Cowboys are giving up eighty nine points in three games.

1472
01:34:47,720 --> 01:34:51,080
Speaker 2: My friend, I've got a trade idea that I would

1473
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:52,040
Speaker 2: like to throw at you.

1474
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:53,679
Speaker 3: Trade idea.

1475
01:34:54,040 --> 01:34:56,040
Speaker 4: See what you think about it based on something we

1476
01:34:56,080 --> 01:34:57,360
Speaker 4: saw today.

1477
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,760
Speaker 2: So we'll do that. Coming up next with me from

1486
01:35:30,200 --> 01:35:34,960
Speaker 2: right after we get off of the air. Okay, it

1487
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:37,200
Speaker 2: feels like there's one of these teams every year. Last

1488
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:40,160
Speaker 2: year it was the New York Jets. This year, it's

1489
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins. I know that we're all still trying

1490
01:35:44,120 --> 01:35:48,000
Speaker 2: to catch our breath with the Tua situation and wondering

1491
01:35:48,040 --> 01:35:51,000
Speaker 2: what's going on there. And we do know he has

1492
01:35:51,040 --> 01:35:55,240
Speaker 2: said that he does no plans to retire. We also

1493
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 2: know that he showed up to today's game in sunglasses,

1494
01:35:59,080 --> 01:36:02,320
Speaker 2: and there I've been at least whispers that the expectation

1495
01:36:03,200 --> 01:36:06,599
Speaker 2: is going to be sort of like at least an

1496
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:09,280
Speaker 2: eight to ten week type of a thing. And I

1497
01:36:09,280 --> 01:36:12,360
Speaker 2: don't even know if there can be an expectation when

1498
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:16,560
Speaker 2: it comes to a situation like this with concussion, So

1499
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:17,760
Speaker 2: go ahead.

1500
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:24,679
Speaker 3: I'm interested to know, well how they came up with that.

1501
01:36:26,880 --> 01:36:30,519
Speaker 2: With that length of time, the timeline, like, it's just

1502
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:35,400
Speaker 2: sort of whispers that I've heard. Obviously, he's on ir right,

1503
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:40,639
Speaker 2: the thought process has been that and maybe it's more

1504
01:36:40,800 --> 01:36:44,040
Speaker 2: like a doctors have said, you need to like take

1505
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:46,679
Speaker 2: that long before you can even consider bringing him back.

1506
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:53,560
Speaker 2: I really don't think that that's official. But anyway, assuming

1507
01:36:53,920 --> 01:36:58,360
Speaker 2: that the Miami Dolphins are without their quarterback for the

1508
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:03,400
Speaker 2: majority of this season, and I don't know what happened

1509
01:37:03,439 --> 01:37:07,679
Speaker 2: with Skyler Thompson's injury today over frankly, well, it doesn't

1510
01:37:07,720 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 2: really matter. So that's actually a decent football team. Obviously.

1511
01:37:14,680 --> 01:37:17,720
Speaker 2: You've put fifty eight million dollars a year into your

1512
01:37:17,720 --> 01:37:22,160
Speaker 2: wide receivers, You've been built that way, you have a

1513
01:37:22,200 --> 01:37:27,280
Speaker 2: star young running back, you're trying to outscore people, and

1514
01:37:27,360 --> 01:37:30,400
Speaker 2: you're a team that was in the playoffs just nine

1515
01:37:30,439 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 2: months ago. So it feels like there's something to try

1516
01:37:34,840 --> 01:37:40,200
Speaker 2: to save there. And if I'm the Dolphins, I'm canvassing

1517
01:37:40,320 --> 01:37:42,840
Speaker 2: the league right now to figure out what can I

1518
01:37:42,960 --> 01:37:46,799
Speaker 2: try to do this year to save our season?

1519
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:49,800
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you call the Pittsburgh Steelers?

1520
01:37:49,840 --> 01:37:54,679
Speaker 3: Of course? Of course there's also Ryan Tannehill's out there.

1521
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:58,840
Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehills out there and obviously knows the organization very

1522
01:37:58,920 --> 01:37:59,320
Speaker 2: very well.

1523
01:37:59,400 --> 01:38:04,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know Joe Joe Flacco. I mean you'd

1524
01:38:04,040 --> 01:38:04,280
Speaker 3: have to.

1525
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:06,439
Speaker 2: You'd have to give up some trade capital for him

1526
01:38:06,479 --> 01:38:07,480
Speaker 2: as well.

1527
01:38:07,920 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 3: It's but you.

1528
01:38:10,360 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 4: Gotta do something, and you gotta and you gotta do

1529
01:38:12,840 --> 01:38:13,200
Speaker 4: it now.

1530
01:38:13,600 --> 01:38:16,960
Speaker 3: You should be done. It should be like we should

1531
01:38:16,960 --> 01:38:20,639
Speaker 3: be hearing this coming up week, what's what's happening?

1532
01:38:21,000 --> 01:38:24,839
Speaker 2: And I'm not saying Russell is like perfect or fantastic anymore,

1533
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,400
Speaker 2: any of those things. But I'm going to try to

1534
01:38:27,479 --> 01:38:33,640
Speaker 2: capitalize on the current excitement with the Pittsburgh Steelers in

1535
01:38:33,680 --> 01:38:36,640
Speaker 2: that you're three and zero, You're young guy is the

1536
01:38:36,640 --> 01:38:37,960
Speaker 2: one performing well.

1537
01:38:38,920 --> 01:38:40,920
Speaker 3: And maybe maybe the.

1538
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:44,519

1543
01:39:00,080 --> 01:39:03,440

1544
01:39:05,120 --> 01:39:08,000

1605
01:43:01,760 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 2: Like to me, that's that's a thing, right, when you

1606
01:43:04,400 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 2: invest in something that you.

1607
01:43:07,080 --> 01:43:08,800
Speaker 4: Need to give it everything you've got.

1608
01:43:08,840 --> 01:43:11,720
Speaker 2: And they've invested in this wide receiver corps and these

1609
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 2: two dudes are not going to touch the ball again

1610
01:43:13,320 --> 01:43:14,880
Speaker 2: the rest of the year if they keep going like.

1611
01:43:14,880 --> 01:43:16,920
Speaker 3: This at all. Just like in this show, when we

1612
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,320
Speaker 3: invest in someone, thank you, all right, we invest and

1613
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:29,720
Speaker 3: our investment always pays dividend, right, because we got a

1614
01:43:29,800 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 3: guy who's foolproof, and that's one Steven f de Sega. Oh,

Speaker 6: Even if you took any one player's best four game

1691
01:47:36,520 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 6: span in each category separately and they just pasted them

1692
01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:42,880
Speaker 6: together to try and beat Otani's numbers this weekend, he

1693
01:47:42,920 --> 01:47:45,519
Speaker 6: would still be at the top of this list.

1694
01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,679
Speaker 3: Back to you, Woo and Steve.

1695
01:47:48,840 --> 01:47:51,000
Speaker 2: I know it's an election year, but I am starting

1696
01:47:51,000 --> 01:47:53,920
Speaker 2: this legislation that might take a little while. Enough of

1697
01:47:54,000 --> 01:47:57,519
Speaker 2: this whining about the human body not being able to

1698
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:00,879
Speaker 2: handle seventeen games or eight teen games.

1699
01:48:01,240 --> 01:48:04,760
Speaker 4: We're going for it. I want football every Sunday for

1700
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:10,439
Speaker 4: the whole year. We can do it. Expand rosters by

1701
01:48:10,479 --> 01:48:12,519
Speaker 4: three extra players. We can do it.

1702
01:48:12,600 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 3: Well it is I know we can do it.

1703
01:48:13,920 --> 01:48:17,600
Speaker 6: It is Labor Day to President's Day these days, who's.

1704
01:48:17,400 --> 01:48:19,440
Speaker 4: Up for a fifty two game schedule?

1705
01:48:19,600 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 6: I do I want, and I think we can see

1706
01:48:21,640 --> 01:48:25,120
Speaker 6: this coming. I just want once we expand to eighteen games,

1707
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:29,880
Speaker 6: then we'll have that President's Day holiday the day after

1708
01:48:29,920 --> 01:48:32,360
Speaker 6: the super Bowl, so soid we will always be a

1709
01:48:32,360 --> 01:48:33,200
Speaker 6: holiday weekend.

1710
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:36,640
Speaker 2: Thank goodness, my gosh, it would be really nice to

1711
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 2: have a drink once in a while during the damn game.

1712
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm with you. We got to do that.

1713
01:48:43,080 --> 01:48:45,519
Speaker 2: You got to beat you up for eighteen right from

1714
01:48:45,560 --> 01:48:51,920
Speaker 2: just eighteen? Come on, No, you know what, Listen. I

1715
01:48:51,960 --> 01:48:54,439
Speaker 2: don't ever want to sound insensitive. I have no idea

1716
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:57,320
Speaker 2: what y'all go through, even though I got a real,

1717
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,439
Speaker 2: real healthy respect for it. But some some times I

1718
01:49:00,479 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 2: do chuckle at like, like, seventeen is fine, but not eighteen.

1719
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:07,600
Speaker 3: I don't want. I didn't want seventeen.

1720
01:49:07,880 --> 01:49:10,000
Speaker 2: I know you didn't, you know what I mean, Like,

1721
01:49:10,760 --> 01:49:14,920
Speaker 2: we can't do Thursday night football, Well.

1722
01:49:15,600 --> 01:49:17,160
Speaker 3: Actually we can, and we can do.

1723
01:49:17,080 --> 01:49:22,920
Speaker 2: Wednesday also, but like seventeen, that's it. I mean what,

1724
01:49:24,120 --> 01:49:26,800
Speaker 2: And I guess you could do this forever. You could

1725
01:49:26,840 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 2: be like, well, what's one more? What's one more?

1726
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah? You can keep stacking and keep adding and keep

1727
01:49:32,479 --> 01:49:35,200
Speaker 3: stacking and keep adding and keep stacking, and.

1728
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:42,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, we want to be entertained, kill us all Yeah, no,

1729
01:49:42,680 --> 01:49:43,800
Speaker 4: I get it, I get it.

1730
01:49:43,920 --> 01:49:44,160
Speaker 3: Well.

1731
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:48,760
Speaker 2: I guess my response to that would be if you're like, well,

1732
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:53,400
Speaker 2: we can't do seventeen, I'm like, right, you can't do one.

1733
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:54,719
Speaker 3: You can't even do one.

1734
01:49:56,920 --> 01:50:00,519
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that's not healthy.

1735
01:50:00,920 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be able to do one. Most people can't

1736
01:50:05,360 --> 01:50:06,959
Speaker 3: do one, right, one.

1737
01:50:06,760 --> 01:50:14,680
Speaker 4: Of those hits. That's it. Now we're done. So I

1738
01:50:14,720 --> 01:50:18,599
Speaker 4: don't know where's the line. Is there a line? No line? Man,

1739
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 4: money is the line? And it is too much, for

1740
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:26,720
Speaker 4: way too much. You do like the idea of a

1741
01:50:26,800 --> 01:50:28,000
Speaker 4: day off after the super Bowl?

1742
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:28,479
Speaker 3: Right? I do?

1743
01:50:28,600 --> 01:50:31,360
Speaker 4: I mean for us, for us working steps right.

1744
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:34,320
Speaker 3: That's great. Yeah, so that would be.

1745
01:50:34,280 --> 01:50:40,080
Speaker 2: Good, you know, or in the Tireck dot com studios.

1746
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:43,040
Speaker 2: By the way, it would not have made any sense.

1747
01:50:43,080 --> 01:50:45,320
Speaker 2: Remember earlier we were talking about survivor pools. It would

1748
01:50:45,360 --> 01:50:48,200
Speaker 2: not have made any sense to UH to pick this team.

1749
01:50:48,400 --> 01:50:51,080
Speaker 2: I don't even think they were favored. I think they

1750
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:54,400
Speaker 2: were underdog. I got a look. It was close. It

1751
01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:57,880
Speaker 2: was a tight spread. I think they were a small underdog.

1752
01:50:59,160 --> 01:51:02,320
Speaker 2: But if there were, there's one team today in the

1753
01:51:02,360 --> 01:51:09,080
Speaker 2: whole NFL that you probably should have emptied the kids student.

1754
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:11,439
Speaker 4: You know, college bank account.

1755
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:17,040
Speaker 2: You probably should have done it on this team because

1756
01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:23,519
Speaker 2: there was no chance, literally no chance of this team losing,

1757
01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,120
Speaker 2: not because they were better than the other team, just

1758
01:51:26,200 --> 01:51:30,439
Speaker 2: because this is Murphy's law and it's the way life works.

1759
01:51:30,520 --> 01:51:33,800
Speaker 2: There was zero chance that this team was going to lose.

1760
01:51:34,040 --> 01:51:36,639
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you exactly who that team is coming

1761
01:51:36,720 --> 01:51:38,360
Speaker 2: up next with the from salam Markweather.

1762
01:51:38,479 --> 01:51:44,600
Speaker 4: This is Fox Sports Radio, Okay, Tyreck dot Com Studios.

1763
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:53,519
Speaker 4: There was no way in hell, no matter what, I

1764
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:56,439
Speaker 4: don't care if they're playing two teams today, I don't

1765
01:51:56,439 --> 01:52:00,519
Speaker 4: care if they're playing a Pro Bowl team today. There

1766
01:52:00,600 --> 01:52:02,840
Speaker 4: was no way in hell the Baltimore Ravens were gonna

1767
01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:05,080
Speaker 4: lose in Dallas today.

1768
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:07,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, that one. But no, they tried to They tried

1769
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:09,120
Speaker 3: to make it interest it, try to give it away.

1770
01:52:09,160 --> 01:52:10,599
Speaker 3: They try to give it away. I know.

1771
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:14,600
Speaker 2: Well, they give up a nineteen nothing run there in

1772
01:52:14,640 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 2: the second half.

1773
01:52:15,479 --> 01:52:17,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, that tells you how much they were up by.

1774
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:20,280
Speaker 2: Though, when you give up a nineteen nothing run and

1775
01:52:20,320 --> 01:52:23,880
Speaker 2: you still end up in victory formation on the road.

1776
01:52:24,080 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 3: I mean it was twenty eight to what six six

1777
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:30,080
Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter, nine.

1778
01:52:31,800 --> 01:52:35,160
Speaker 2: Everybody knows the data. When you go oh and three,

1779
01:52:35,320 --> 01:52:40,879
Speaker 2: your season is all but over. And the Baltimore Ravens

1780
01:52:40,920 --> 01:52:43,760
Speaker 2: have some concerns, Like I would look at them right

1781
01:52:43,800 --> 01:52:47,599
Speaker 2: now and be like, there's one word if I'm John Harball,

1782
01:52:47,640 --> 01:52:49,600
Speaker 2: that I'm going to like, you know, I'm gonna go

1783
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:52,360
Speaker 2: over to Kinko's and make a banner and I'm going

1784
01:52:52,439 --> 01:52:54,240
Speaker 2: to put this thing in the in the in the

1785
01:52:54,280 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 2: locker room, and the word is finish.

1786
01:52:58,560 --> 01:53:01,479
Speaker 4: Finish. I think of their three games now.

1787
01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 2: They went on a run in Kansas City, and then

1788
01:53:05,240 --> 01:53:08,960
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely's toe was out of bounds. Then they had

1789
01:53:08,960 --> 01:53:13,120
Speaker 2: a ten point lead at home against the Raiders, cough

1790
01:53:13,240 --> 01:53:16,200
Speaker 2: that sucker up. And then today, as you just detailed,

1791
01:53:16,680 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaker 2: you're up by twenty two points in the fourth quarter

1792
01:53:18,960 --> 01:53:21,000
Speaker 2: on the road and you end up winning by a

1793
01:53:21,080 --> 01:53:21,679
Speaker 2: field goal.

1794
01:53:22,439 --> 01:53:23,960
Speaker 4: So finishing is a problem.

1795
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,080
Speaker 2: The defense doesn't look as dominant as we've seen in

1796
01:53:27,160 --> 01:53:30,800
Speaker 2: years past, But that is way too good of a

1797
01:53:30,840 --> 01:53:33,920
Speaker 2: football team to go zero to three.

1798
01:53:34,479 --> 01:53:37,080
Speaker 4: And it's Murphy's law, it's the way things work.

1799
01:53:37,160 --> 01:53:38,080
Speaker 3: There was no.

1800
01:53:38,160 --> 01:53:42,000
Speaker 2: Way in hell that team was going to lose their

1801
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:44,200
Speaker 2: football game today, no matter who they were playing.

1802
01:53:45,600 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 3: No, and The thing about Baltimore is they figured out

1803
01:53:49,439 --> 01:53:58,120
Speaker 3: how to use Oh my goodness, gracious, Atlanta just decided, Hey, god,

1804
01:53:58,800 --> 01:54:02,960
Speaker 3: I think he was down. They just decided. They just decided, Hey,

1805
01:54:03,000 --> 01:54:04,720
Speaker 3: we don't want to do this, We don't want to

1806
01:54:04,720 --> 01:54:07,960
Speaker 3: play football anymore. Anyway. The thing I like about Baltimore

1807
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:10,840
Speaker 3: is they decided how to use Derrick Henry and Lamar

1808
01:54:10,920 --> 01:54:14,400
Speaker 3: Jackson in the run game. Yes, case in point, that

1809
01:54:14,560 --> 01:54:20,760
Speaker 3: last third and whatever it was for the first down,

1810
01:54:22,400 --> 01:54:26,320
Speaker 3: everybody nobody knew he had Lamar had the ball. But

1811
01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:31,280
Speaker 3: when you bludging the team, yeah, he was down. When

1812
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:34,320
Speaker 3: you bludging the team with a Derrick Henry who had

1813
01:54:34,320 --> 01:54:36,440
Speaker 3: over one hundred yards day and stiff dorm some about

1814
01:54:36,440 --> 01:54:41,800
Speaker 3: a grown man, somebody's child, maybe someone's dad to the

1815
01:54:41,840 --> 01:54:44,800
Speaker 3: ground like he don't belong out there. I mean that's

1816
01:54:44,800 --> 01:54:48,320
Speaker 3: a positive. Those are positives because now if they can

1817
01:54:48,360 --> 01:54:51,720
Speaker 3: get that dual headed run, you're going to gets wrong.

1818
01:54:53,560 --> 01:54:56,360
Speaker 3: They're going to make it difficult for you to stop

1819
01:54:56,480 --> 01:55:00,200
Speaker 3: them offensively, and they're gonna win the majority of time

1820
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:03,280
Speaker 3: of possessions and games. So they figured something out to

1821
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 3: the NA Granted it was against a terrible defense, one

1822
01:55:05,960 --> 01:55:10,280
Speaker 3: of the worst in the league. But it felt for

1823
01:55:10,360 --> 01:55:14,120
Speaker 3: the first time like, Okay, this is how we do

1824
01:55:14,160 --> 01:55:19,560
Speaker 3: this thing. Yeah, so, I mean they're dangerous now they

1825
01:55:19,680 --> 01:55:20,880
Speaker 3: got talent everywhere.

1826
01:55:21,160 --> 01:55:23,879
Speaker 4: Oh of course, of course.

1827
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:27,880
Speaker 2: And look, I'll just say this about the whole mobile

1828
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:33,560
Speaker 2: quarterback thing, it's going to forever be a debate sustainability.

1829
01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:36,760
Speaker 2: How many hits can you take? You can't overdo it.

1830
01:55:37,680 --> 01:55:41,040
Speaker 2: RG three, We know all the stories. I totally get it.

1831
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:44,840
Speaker 2: At the same time, there's a lot to be said.

1832
01:55:44,880 --> 01:55:47,400
Speaker 2: I think in the NFL about an identity. You have

1833
01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:50,600
Speaker 2: to have an identity and you are who you are.

1834
01:55:50,640 --> 01:55:53,360
Speaker 2: And by no means am I calling Lamar Jackson a

1835
01:55:53,440 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 2: running back.

1836
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:55,480
Speaker 3: We're not going there anymore.

1837
01:55:56,040 --> 01:55:58,480
Speaker 2: He's a phenomenal player, and he's a two time MVP,

1838
01:55:58,640 --> 01:56:02,760
Speaker 2: and yes he can throw the football. But just like

1839
01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,640
Speaker 2: what we're gonna see with Jayden Daniels tomorrow night and

1840
01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:09,040
Speaker 2: his forthcoming career, just like we'll see with what Josh

1841
01:56:09,040 --> 01:56:13,080
Speaker 2: Allen does, you are who you are and and and

1842
01:56:13,120 --> 01:56:17,040
Speaker 2: you have to use I think what makes you special.

1843
01:56:17,680 --> 01:56:22,560
Speaker 2: And Lamar Jackson's legs are special, yes, and and so

1844
01:56:22,760 --> 01:56:25,000
Speaker 2: you just you're gonna You're gonna have to do it.

1845
01:56:25,240 --> 01:56:26,800
Speaker 2: You're gonna have to do it. I feel like the

1846
01:56:26,800 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles are starting to get real hesitant about running

1847
01:56:30,280 --> 01:56:36,200
Speaker 2: the ball with with Jalen Hurts, and he's starting to

1848
01:56:36,200 --> 01:56:40,760
Speaker 2: look not special as a quarterback. So I don't know,

1849
01:56:40,920 --> 01:56:45,640
Speaker 2: I don't know how you thread that needle, but boy,

1850
01:56:45,720 --> 01:56:48,320
Speaker 2: they look real real hard to stop when he's.

1851
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:51,840
Speaker 3: Running the football. It's dangerous. It's nothing you can do.

1852
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:56,720
Speaker 3: And you know, they were trying to rush him a

1853
01:56:56,720 --> 01:56:59,560
Speaker 3: certain type of way where they kind of like like

1854
01:56:59,600 --> 01:57:03,160
Speaker 3: a muddle rush where you don't quite get let's not

1855
01:57:03,200 --> 01:57:06,120
Speaker 3: forget he can pass the ball as well. Yes, so

1856
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:08,800
Speaker 3: if you allow him to sit back there, if you

1857
01:57:08,880 --> 01:57:12,360
Speaker 3: allow him to sit back there because you don't want

1858
01:57:12,400 --> 01:57:19,600
Speaker 3: him to break contain good luck everybody else. It's not

1859
01:57:19,640 --> 01:57:25,440
Speaker 3: gonna go well for you, right, It's just not. It's

1860
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:29,720
Speaker 3: gonna You're gonna drive yourself crazy. And that was the

1861
01:57:29,720 --> 01:57:36,040
Speaker 3: part that was the point of them bringing in Derrick

1862
01:57:36,120 --> 01:57:43,480
Speaker 3: Henry to drive defenses crazy. And they're they're they're going

1863
01:57:43,520 --> 01:57:47,200
Speaker 3: to succeed. It's gonna be it's gonna be fun to watch.

1864
01:57:47,760 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 2: I want to throw a handful of teams at you

1865
01:57:50,600 --> 01:57:55,240
Speaker 2: that currently have a losing record and you give me

1866
01:57:55,360 --> 01:58:00,240
Speaker 2: the concern level based on a scale of one to ten.

1867
01:58:02,000 --> 01:58:12,080
Speaker 4: Okay, Dallas Cowboys ten ooh? Why say ten?

1868
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:22,240
Speaker 3: Oh? Because I'm concerned that they are spending sixty plus

1869
01:58:22,240 --> 01:58:26,880
Speaker 3: million a year on a quarterback, thirty plus a million

1870
01:58:26,880 --> 01:58:30,680
Speaker 3: a year on a receiver, and they're not going to

1871
01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:34,680
Speaker 3: make the playoffs. They're zero and three. I think it's

1872
01:58:34,760 --> 01:58:38,040
Speaker 3: like a seventeen percent chance or something like that for

1873
01:58:38,080 --> 01:58:43,840
Speaker 3: the wanting to playoffs one two. But I don't see

1874
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:49,800
Speaker 3: where are the wins coming from based on what you've

1875
01:58:49,840 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 3: seen them do. Where are the wins coming from? That's

1876
01:58:53,240 --> 01:58:56,440
Speaker 3: the gods. Yeah, when they play bad team. Yeah, but

1877
01:58:56,480 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 3: what happens is when you start losing early, you you

1878
01:59:00,360 --> 01:59:03,600
Speaker 3: no longer have that confidence going into bad teams. Yeah yeah.

1879
01:59:03,720 --> 01:59:06,240
Speaker 2: I mean they play the Giants on Thursday night, and

1880
01:59:06,240 --> 01:59:07,640
Speaker 2: then their next three after that.

1881
01:59:07,800 --> 01:59:10,520
Speaker 3: Somebody forgot to tell the Giants today today weren't good.

1882
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:13,800
Speaker 2: Yep, yep, and then the next three after that are

1883
01:59:13,800 --> 01:59:16,360
Speaker 2: going to be Pittsburgh, the Lions and the forty nine ers.

1884
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:20,400
Speaker 3: Come on, man, So let me just say this divisional game,

1885
01:59:23,040 --> 01:59:30,440
Speaker 3: Giants found something today. Uh that receiver.

1886
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:36,320
Speaker 2: Nevers he can play good, He can play Oh my gosh,

1887
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 2: he can play.

1888
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:43,520
Speaker 3: So if they don't get that one, they're not getting

1889
01:59:43,720 --> 01:59:47,320
Speaker 3: the next three. What about the forty nine ers?

1890
01:59:47,880 --> 01:59:47,960
Speaker 1: No?

1891
01:59:50,200 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 3: Four, okay, four? I don't know, man. It's like, I'm

1892
01:59:57,320 --> 02:00:00,160
Speaker 3: more concerned defensively, but they'll be able to be in

1893
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 3: games because offensively they're fine. Yeah, they're fine, So they'll

1894
02:00:05,640 --> 02:00:09,320
Speaker 3: get a break here and there. Defensively turnover whatever that is.

1895
02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:11,600
Speaker 3: Everybody's not gonna be able to score like that, So

1896
02:00:12,080 --> 02:00:14,200
Speaker 3: I'm just concerned about a four.

1897
02:00:15,960 --> 02:00:18,040
Speaker 2: The problem with the forty nine ers is the guys

1898
02:00:18,040 --> 02:00:21,080
Speaker 2: that were missing today were not the problem, right exactly. Yeah,

1899
02:00:21,200 --> 02:00:25,160
Speaker 2: that would have made sense, but but that's not the

1900
02:00:25,200 --> 02:00:25,760
Speaker 2: way it went.

1901
02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:27,320
Speaker 3: So I don't know.

1902
02:00:27,400 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 2: My concern level might be a little bit higher than yours.

1903
02:00:31,000 --> 02:00:35,320
Speaker 2: Great week again, buddy, great show man uh for e
