But 103 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,599 Speaker 2: let's get started with the way too early worry meter, 104 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,480 Speaker 2: which Carmen corrected me when we were talking about this yesterday. 105 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 5: Week three is not too early to start worrying. 106 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: It's after two games. So let two games in the 107 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: week one is a wash. Anything can happen there. But 108 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 2: week two we had like a little bit of chaos. 109 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 4: Less than one in six teams that starting to make 110 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 4: the posts. 111 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 3: Oh yes, no, we're like, we know, so this is big. 112 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 2: So we're gonna go through what players, teams, or coaches 113 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: are you worried about kind of make or break week three? 114 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: For like, who we're going to talk about here? I'll 115 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 2: go first. Okay, I'm gonna start with the Ravens. Yeah, 116 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: they are zero in two. As we all saw, they 117 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: lost in the Chiefs by a toe literally in week one, 118 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,640 Speaker 2: and then last week was kind of the Okay, maybe 119 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 2: we need to start worrying loss to the Raiders. Yeah, 120 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: but what makes me worried were the players responses. We 121 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: heard Lamar Jackson say they need to find their mojo, 122 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 2: but we also heard another teammate say, we got to 123 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 2: get our pride back. I mean, this is an issue 124 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: if you should have you should have your confidence, your mojo, 125 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: your pride. The ViBe's right when the season starts and 126 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: they don't have that at all, Like hearing your leaders 127 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 2: on this team doubt kind of the vibe, the energy, 128 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: the mojo, everything that goes into like you need to 129 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: believe that you are going to win these games if 130 00:05:57,680 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: you are going to win these games. And the rating 131 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: MVP Lamar Jackson not really having an MVP start to 132 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 2: the season. 133 00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 3: His numbers are middle of the pack. 134 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: Now they're going into Jerry World with the Cowboys team 135 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 2: who also got incredibly embarrassed last week at home. 136 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 3: So this is a make or. 137 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:18,480 Speaker 2: Break game for both Cowboys and Ravens, but especially for Baltimore. 138 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 3: And let me tell you why. We kind of talked 139 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 3: about this off the top. 140 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: Since twenty twenty, the first season we moved into the 141 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 2: new playoff format, sixteen teams have started oh and three. 142 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 2: None of them have made it to the postseason. Since 143 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: nineteen ninety, the first season of the twelve team two 144 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 2: wildcard playoff format, one hundred and sixty two teams have 145 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: started oh and three, only four have made it to 146 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 2: the postseason. That's two point five percent. This is a 147 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: must win for the Ravens. Odds are not in their favor. Also, 148 00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 2: like Derek Henry needs to like get it going too. 149 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 2: He only had one hundred and thirty rushing yards in 150 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,840 Speaker 2: two games. Lamar has one hundred and sixty seven. But 151 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Lamar is the dual threat. But they 152 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,720 Speaker 2: have the talent. But they have to go into Dallas 153 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:06,640 Speaker 2: and they have to win. They have to win. 154 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,560 Speaker 4: It's the reason I was so excited about the Ravens 155 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: getting Derrick Henry. Yes, because of what you could do 156 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 4: in the run scheme. When you have two legitimate threats 157 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 4: in the backfield and one of which is your quarterback. 158 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: Yes, who thus more rushing yards? 159 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 5: He No, I mean that's fine. 160 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,640 Speaker 4: Honestly, it was the game against the Raiders that shocked 161 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 4: me the most because Lamar Jackson only had forty five 162 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: rushing yards in that game. He only rushed five times 163 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 4: and they were scrambled. You're not designing runs for Lamar 164 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 4: Jackson as often as I would think you would. He's 165 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: rushing seven point two percent of the time according to 166 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 4: PFF's metrics. Yeah, undesigned runs, Yeah, I should say, And 167 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 4: I just I don't know whether that's coming from Okay, 168 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 4: you just paid this guy. You don't want to risk injury? 169 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 4: Does he not want to take the hits because he 170 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 4: wants to prove that he's a passer. I would think 171 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 4: that your second MVP last year would prove to everybody 172 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: that you are a legitimate quarterback. 173 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 5: In this league. 174 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 4: I haven't seen enough creativity out of this offense given 175 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 4: what it is capable of with Lamar Jackson and Derreck 176 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 4: Henry together, And that's what is the concerning part to me. 177 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: But I also feel like because they're not reaching that potential, Yeah, 178 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: there is room for improvement and they just they haven't 179 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: had yet. 180 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 5: No, but they can. 181 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 2: It has to happen tomorrow in Don Dallas, because, like 182 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 2: I just said, the odds are not in their favor. 183 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: If they go oh to three sixteen teams since twenty twenty, 184 00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 2: I have started owing three, none of them have made 185 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 2: the postseason. And like I said, since nineteen ninety one 186 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 2: hundred and sixty two teams have started owning three, only 187 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 2: four have made the postseason. And what's the one big 188 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: criticism that we've all been giving Lamar Jackson, Like through 189 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 2: this incredible MVP caliber career that he's had, two time MVP, 190 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 2: he doesn't have the postseason success. Now you're not going 191 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 2: to get there if you start the season this way, 192 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 2: the odds are in your favor. You need to turn 193 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,040 Speaker 2: it around. It is a must win for Lamar in 194 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,200 Speaker 2: the Ravens tomorrow. They have to get this done. 195 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 4: They do, And I would try to say that it's 196 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 4: more important that the Ravens for the Ravens to win 197 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 4: tomorrow than it is the Dallas Cowboys. 198 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 2: Oh kay, they have a win and it was an 199 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,880 Speaker 2: embarrassing loss, but right, But I mean I. 200 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,120 Speaker 5: Also am like, oh my god, I think the Saints 201 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 5: are for real? 202 00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 203 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like Week one with the Carolina Panthers, I took 204 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: absolutely nothing from that, like going into Jerry World and 205 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 4: just I mean that was just an absolute. 206 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 3: Like what happened? 207 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 8: Right? 208 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 2: Like did they overlook the Saints? Did they not like 209 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: gain no plan correctly? Like they lost. 210 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 3: Forty four to ninth. The reason that WF happened Dallas. 211 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,680 Speaker 4: The reason that the beginning of the season is always 212 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 4: so kind of topsy turvy every year in the league 213 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 4: is because you don't have film on what these teams 214 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,440 Speaker 4: are going to look like this year. So Clint Kubiak 215 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: comes in in New Orleans, and I don't think anybody 216 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: realized like just how much of an overhaul he was 217 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 4: going to be able to do because the roster looked 218 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,679 Speaker 4: so similar. Yeah, but these guys look like new men. 219 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 4: Derek Carr looks like a new man. Alvin Kamara looks 220 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 4: like the Alvin Kamara from five years ago. This is 221 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: it's an incredible turnaround just from having a new offensive coordinator. 222 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 4: But teams don't didn't expect that. They don't know how 223 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 4: to defend that. They don't have film of Clink Kubiak 224 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 4: scheme in New Orleans. So like as teams kind of 225 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: get wise to this as like four games is like 226 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 4: the magic number. Yeah, that's what most coaches will tell 227 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: you they want to look at. Yeah, preparing for an opponent, 228 00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 4: they'll watch the last four games or you know, four 229 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 4: games throughout the season. They don't have that sample size yet, 230 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:38,840 Speaker 4: So it's going to be interesting to see how teams 231 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 4: adjust for the fact that the Norland Saints are very 232 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 4: much for real and Kink Kubiak has unlocked so many 233 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 4: good things there. 234 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 2: I mean, Cowboys weren't in it from the get go. 235 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: The scen's first six offensive drives ended up in touchdowns. 236 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 2: Like how what at your home opener? 237 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 5: Yeah? 238 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 3: Your home opener? 239 00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Cowboys also like little little not as far 240 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 2: on the Worr meter for me as the rape, but 241 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 2: Dallas is it's it's pushing there. It's we saw two 242 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 2: different teams in the first two games, so like who 243 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 2: are you? 244 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 5: That's why are you? 245 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 4: That's why I end up saying this offseason Alex about, hey, 246 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 4: maybe you need someone other than Ceedee Lamb for Dak Prescott. 247 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 5: To throw to. 248 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: Also like pay your guys, but like not like the 249 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 2: day I kind of sit out the entire like preseason. 250 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, there's also that No, I I 251 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 2: mean like they'll that'll like Ceedee Lamb will get up 252 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:27,839 Speaker 2: to speed and all that other stuff like that should 253 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 2: be remedied by. 254 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 3: This week, but like a couple of weeks as we're 255 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 3: seeing and. 256 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 4: That's we be remedy by this week. But at the 257 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 4: same time, there's nothing like, you did nothing to bolster 258 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 4: the run game to help Dak Prescott. You did nothing 259 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: to add a true number two because we haven't seen 260 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 4: Brandon Cooks people to do that in a couple of seasons. 261 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,840 Speaker 4: Now maybe he can, who knows, but that's putting a 262 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: lot on him. 263 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:48,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 264 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 5: Jake Ferguson has been battling through. 265 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: Injury in their tight end, so like, not only do 266 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,320 Speaker 4: you not have the guys in the starting offense, but 267 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 4: you also have zero depth. Like I've said this till 268 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 4: I was blue in the face. 269 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 5: I don't need to keep saying hurting on it. 270 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:10,000 Speaker 2: Okay, so we've hit Ravens, worried Cowboys were teetering there? 271 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 3: Who else you got? 272 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 4: I'm going with the Bengals first because there's there's another team, 273 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 4: but we're going to get to that at some point. 274 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 4: I think that Again, much has been made about the 275 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,920 Speaker 4: fact that they're owing to but this is something that. 276 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 5: Bengals just do. 277 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 4: Yeah, they start the season really and honestly, I mean 278 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 4: talk about guys that were close to beating the Chiefs. 279 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,400 Speaker 5: They were close. They were lost of the Chiefs by 280 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 5: one point. I mean that game could have. 281 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:41,320 Speaker 3: Gone either way. 282 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 4: It was the dp I call right at the end, 283 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: which was DPI. Let me be clear it was it 284 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 4: was DPI, But I mean when that call swayed the game, 285 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 4: just like into the Chiefs favor. The Bengals were the 286 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,080 Speaker 4: better team for a majority of that game. I'm not 287 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 4: worried about them. They now T Higgins. We heard in 288 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 4: an update yep, off the injury report entirely that gat 289 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 4: so he should be playing. Okay, It's probably gonna take 290 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 4: him a little bit to get up to speed. But 291 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 4: the fact that there is another weapon outside of Jamar 292 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,800 Speaker 4: Chase at the defense will now have to account for. 293 00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 4: He's going to open up so much for this offense. 294 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 4: And I am not worried about them at all. I 295 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,839 Speaker 4: think this is their get right game coming up this week, 296 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: given the fact that T Higgins is back. They're already 297 00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 4: tenth in red zone scoring without T Higgins. Okay, so 298 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 4: I have to imagine like all of their offensive metrics 299 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 4: are going to go up given the fact that they 300 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,360 Speaker 4: now have legitimate threats and Andre Yoshvas. 301 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 5: They're little come out of nowhere wide receiver. 302 00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 4: He's a legitimate number three, and he's been carrying the 303 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: team with Jamar Chase just bracketed to hell every game 304 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,719 Speaker 4: at this point. And now you're gonna have like you're 305 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,040 Speaker 4: gonna open some things up. You saw Joe Burrow use 306 00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 4: his tight ends, especially in Week one even against the Chiefs. 307 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 4: There are quite a few options now for Joe Burrow, 308 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 4: and I trust him to distribute it. So I'm not 309 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 4: actually that worried about their Bengals. I haven't been that 310 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 4: worried about the Bengals even with the O and two start. 311 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I again, we just talked about the oh 312 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 2: and three starts. So this is I think a must 313 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 2: win for Burrow and the Bengals. But he started four 314 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: of his five seasons oh and two, right, But that one. 315 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 3: Season he didn't start OH and two, that was the 316 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 3: year they made it to the super Bowl. 317 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 4: Right, So you get you get a Commander's team that 318 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 4: is still very much figgering thing. 319 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, young everything everything. 320 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 4: I trust Louianna Roumo to be able to get after 321 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: Jane and Daniels. 322 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 5: Shout out big glue. 323 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 4: We saw Todd Bowles be able to do that in 324 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 4: Week one against Jane Daniels and the Commanders I think 325 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: that loui Ana Rumo can scheme up some wonderful things. 326 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: And then that secondary again, really good secondary in Cincinnati 327 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 4: that can disguise coverages and gets after the ball like crazy. 328 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 5: So I'm not worried. I'm not wried about the Bengals. 329 00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna have one more here, someone. I'm worried about 330 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 2: Nick siriannim and they are playing the Saints on the 331 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 2: road tomorrow. Saints are favored at home by three. We've 332 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,560 Speaker 2: just we were just talking about it, right, Saints have 333 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 2: looked really good, Derek Carr, typer Ferson passing touchdowns, best 334 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 2: passer rating through two weeks, and that Eagles Monday night 335 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 2: loss heartbreaking, like just heartbreaking. 336 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 5: For that talk we cover too, we should ban the 337 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 5: prevent defense. 338 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: Like if you don't turn things around. Now, this feels 339 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: like something that can go downhill pretty fast, kind of 340 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: like the end of last season, and if you include 341 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 2: last season, they've lost seven other last nine games, and 342 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 2: we've seen like we've talked about Nick Sirianni being on 343 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: the hot seat like over the last couple seasons, like 344 00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 2: in and out like for a bit. There was also 345 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 2: rumors floating around that the Eagles would be interested in 346 00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,160 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. 347 00:15:58,720 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 3: If things didn't work out with Nicks. 348 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 2: So it's like, what are you doing, You're already, You're 349 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 2: already kind of like dangling these rumors in front of him. 350 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: There was also the rumors that it's. 351 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 4: Funny almost bought the Patriots, but then Robert Kraft got 352 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: the Patriots instead, and now you're gonna steal Bill Belichick 353 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 4: from the pagot. It's just it's a funny, little small world. 354 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 4: Uh huh. I. There were a lot of things that 355 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: were out of Syrianni's control in that game, like Kellen 356 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 4: Moore deciding after they had so much success on the 357 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,800 Speaker 4: ground they ran the ball thirty eight times in week two, 358 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: but then when the game is on the line on 359 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 4: third and three, you decide to pass the ball to Saquon, 360 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 4: especially because Sirianni comes out and says, oh, there's a 361 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 4: mechanism built into that play where Jalen could just take 362 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,720 Speaker 4: a sack if it's not wide open. 363 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 5: Hey, what it was wide open? 364 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, b If you're okay with your quarterback taking a sack, 365 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 4: then why aren't you okay with your quarterback just running 366 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 4: the ball? You're running quarterback by the way. Yeah, running 367 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 4: the ball and sitting down at the one and running 368 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 4: the clock out, there was no reason to call a pass, 369 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: especially when the run had been working for you at 370 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,120 Speaker 4: that point. So, like Kellen Moore, just don't get cute 371 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 4: player game. It's incredibly complete. You're gonna need to because 372 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:10,680 Speaker 4: this New Orleans offense scores Yeah, like seventy six point 373 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 4: two percent scoring drives sixteen out of twenty one, ranks 374 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 4: first in the NFL. Yeah, no, they rank second and 375 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 4: third and fourth down conversion rate. 376 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 3: Derek Carr is red hot to start this season. 377 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 4: He especially when he is not under pressure. Yeah, so 378 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 4: you're gonna your ego. This Eagles team ranks eleventh in 379 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 4: pressures right now. You need to get after Derek Carr 380 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 4: because otherwise it is going to be Derek Carr and 381 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:37,239 Speaker 4: the New Orleans Saints coming march, marching in to their 382 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 4: own stadium, but marching in. 383 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,040 Speaker 2: And that's like one of the loudest stadiums, right, it's 384 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 2: so loud. 385 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 4: So it's my least favorite stadium, Alex.

And I 658 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,720 Speaker 14: think that in large part due to being in the 659 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 14: second year under head coach Jarathan Gannon and really liked 660 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 14: working with his offensive cornator Drew Pepsy, and Murray says 661 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 14: that the two of them see the game very similarly, 662 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 14: and you're able to see Murray just kind of play comfortably. 663 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:50,720 Speaker 14: He's not overthinking he's going out there, and because they 664 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 14: have surrounded him with so many weapons and they really 665 00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:57,240 Speaker 14: worked on the offensive line in free agency this year, 666 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:01,160 Speaker 14: Murray's been set up for success with every piece of 667 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 14: the offense, and that's allowing him to go out and 668 00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 14: not only do with being asked of him, but pair 669 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:09,760 Speaker 14: that with his natural ability and the way he's able 670 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 14: to extend plays with his legs in a way that 671 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 14: not a lot. 672 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: Of quarterbacks are now Danny. 673 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: Kyler Murray has taken some criticism in the past for 674 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 2: his work ethic, most notably the infamous homework clause that 675 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 2: used to be in his contract. So what's been the 676 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,360 Speaker 2: difference for him in terms of the preparation like leading 677 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,440 Speaker 2: into the season and especially now having two pretty strong 678 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 2: first two games. 679 00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 14: You could tell in the off season that he was 680 00:31:36,640 --> 00:31:41,360 Speaker 14: much more intent about working with his receivers, with his 681 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:45,280 Speaker 14: running backs, with his offensive linemen outside of the facility. 682 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,440 Speaker 14: I mean, wide receiver Michael Wilson said that he stayed 683 00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 14: in Arizona this offseason for the sole reason to be 684 00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 14: around Kyler Murray and continue working together and building that chemistry. 685 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 14: And Murray really stepped up of planning multiple trips with 686 00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 14: his off in alignment with his weapons, not only making 687 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 14: sure that you are building chemistry on the field, but 688 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 14: also that camaraderie off the field, and when you're out 689 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,719 Speaker 14: there and you're in the trenches and you're going far 690 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 14: every single play, when you know the type of person 691 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 14: that you're blocking for, or you're running with, or you're 692 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 14: catching the pass from, you want to work that much 693 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 14: harder for that person. I think that was really intentional 694 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 14: move this offseason by Murray to make sure that he 695 00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 14: really was being that leader that was needed. This is 696 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 14: honestly the first time that this locker room is not 697 00:32:32,480 --> 00:32:36,600 Speaker 14: filled with really significant veterans. I mean, when think of 698 00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 14: the locker room just as of the last couple of years, 699 00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,840 Speaker 14: you had DeAndre Hopkins, you had JJ Watt, you had 700 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,280 Speaker 14: all these players that had been in the league for 701 00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 14: so long that they were helping lead that locker room. 702 00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 14: And now that it is a much younger locker room, 703 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 14: it's allowed Kyler Murray to kind of step up and 704 00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:56,080 Speaker 14: be the type of leader that he is and again 705 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,960 Speaker 14: that you would want and expect from a franchise quarterback. 706 00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 4: Well, and I mean, I think after the Week one, 707 00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:07,120 Speaker 4: we saw the Cardinals obviously invested heavily in getting Marvin 708 00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,680 Speaker 4: Harrison Junior as a young weapon for Kyler Murray that 709 00:33:10,720 --> 00:33:13,160 Speaker 4: he can continue to build with, and we saw the 710 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,000 Speaker 4: first game didn't go as anybody really had hoped. And 711 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:20,440 Speaker 4: then this last week there was such an intentionality behind 712 00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 4: Kyler getting Marvin Harrison Junior the ball, And not only that, 713 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 4: but I think we got a glimpse into the chemistry 714 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,760 Speaker 4: that they already have, given the fact that a lot 715 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,640 Speaker 4: of those passes came with Kyler on the run, kind 716 00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 4: of scrambling around in the backfield, doing those things with 717 00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 4: his legs that only he can really do, but still 718 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:41,800 Speaker 4: connecting with Marvin Harrison Junior, and then being on the 719 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,280 Speaker 4: same page. What have you seen from the rookie then, 720 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 4: and how he's been working with Kyler. 721 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:50,760 Speaker 14: It makes sense why Kyler Murray and other teammates of 722 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,440 Speaker 14: Marvin Harrison juniors have said that they don't even see 723 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:56,560 Speaker 14: Harrison as a rookie because of his work at because 724 00:33:56,560 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 14: of how mature he is, because of his skill set, 725 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,160 Speaker 14: and I think that that's clear to see now. There's 726 00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,440 Speaker 14: really no better mentor than a Hall of Fame wide 727 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:11,640 Speaker 14: receiver Dad. So I'm sure that, but it is nice 728 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,319 Speaker 14: to see that connection in game two because that's what 729 00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 14: we've heard from closed doors and what we're not seeing 730 00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 14: at training camp and going on in the off season, 731 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,200 Speaker 14: and to see that really come to be. I think 732 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 14: Week one in Buffalo was a couple of different factors. 733 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,720 Speaker 14: I think you could tell that Harrison was a little nervous, 734 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 14: The wind was a pretty big factor, the way that 735 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:34,000 Speaker 14: it was swelling down there on the field, and just 736 00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 14: the offense as a whole that second half they really 737 00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 14: fell flat. I loved that last week ahead of the 738 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,600 Speaker 14: Rams game, offensive corner Drew Pensing Kyler Murray himself did 739 00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 14: not shy away from the fact that, yeah, of course 740 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 14: we want to get Marvin Harrison Junior more involved than 741 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,759 Speaker 14: we did. That's that's not a secret, and so I 742 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 14: liked that they were able to do that. I think 743 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,240 Speaker 14: that you saw a little different in how the defense 744 00:34:55,480 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 14: was prioritizing Harrison in la versus all the that Buffalo 745 00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,080 Speaker 14: was giving him a week one, and I love the 746 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 14: fact that the Cardinals were able to take advantage of it. 747 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 14: Not in a way where Murray was forcing the ball 748 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,399 Speaker 14: to Harrison, but you really did get a glimpse of 749 00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:13,160 Speaker 14: what that duo can look like. 750 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,240 Speaker 2: Now, they're going to have a tough matchup tomorrow against 751 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 2: the Lions, but Cards are trending up. So what are 752 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:25,200 Speaker 2: you expecting from Kyler against Detroit and a really tough 753 00:35:25,239 --> 00:35:27,040 Speaker 2: powerhouse super Bowl favorite team. 754 00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:32,799 Speaker 14: This is going to be a really good head to head. 755 00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 14: I think it's going to be violent. I think you're 756 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 14: going to see a lot of passion now with these 757 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:43,439 Speaker 14: two teams of Detroit might be one of the more 758 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 14: balanced teams, and I think offense especially, So it's going 759 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:48,480 Speaker 14: to be a challenge for the Cardinals defense. But when 760 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:51,560 Speaker 14: you're looking at Detroit's defense, I mean, this is a 761 00:35:51,600 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 14: defense that's top five through two weeks and Zach Pruttors 762 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:59,359 Speaker 14: quarterback kids and Aid Hutchinson has gone against backup right 763 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 14: tackles first two weeks and he's going to do that 764 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 14: against the Cardinals this week. Starter Jonah Williams went out 765 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,480 Speaker 14: leaves well with a knee injury. So Kelvin Beachum, longtime 766 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:11,680 Speaker 14: veteran thirteen years, stepped up last week. Popped up on 767 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:15,200 Speaker 14: the injury report Thursday with a hamstring and considering the 768 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:19,360 Speaker 14: Cardinals elevated earlier this morning. Both Jackson Barton and Charlie 769 00:36:19,440 --> 00:36:22,280 Speaker 14: Hex from the practice squad makes you wonder how available 770 00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 14: Beach is going to be. So I think you're really 771 00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:27,080 Speaker 14: going to have to rely on some blocking health from 772 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,840 Speaker 14: your tight end, which is not new for this Cardinals offense. 773 00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:32,759 Speaker 14: They've already got fourth most snaps with two tight ends 774 00:36:32,760 --> 00:36:35,719 Speaker 14: in the league. And I would expect them to continue 775 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,160 Speaker 14: to rely on the run game, just to set the 776 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 14: pace and get the rhythm going and really let James 777 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 14: Connor out of the backfield and do what he does best. 778 00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:44,960 Speaker 14: And then that opens up really the rest of the 779 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,359 Speaker 14: offense and not only the passing game, but play action 780 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:49,560 Speaker 14: Murray to be able to use his legs. I think 781 00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 14: that's all going to stem from the line of scrimmage 782 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:52,880 Speaker 14: and running the ball early. 783 00:36:55,400 --> 00:37:00,640 Speaker 2: Oh we lither all right, Dan, what a great I 784 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:02,680 Speaker 2: know this is. She was on a roll and it 785 00:37:02,719 --> 00:37:06,360 Speaker 2: was absolutely awesome. Danny, that was great. That was awesome. 786 00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,279 Speaker 2: All Right, We're gonna take a quick break here, but 787 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 2: when we come back, the dudes and the don'ts in sports. 788 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 3: You're listening to Fox Sports. 789 00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:17,000 Speaker 2: Radio, Welcome back to Fox Football Saturday.

This was absolutely like 993 00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:42,719 Speaker 4: you think a Chrysler three hundred looks like a like 994 00:45:42,760 --> 00:45:45,759 Speaker 4: a phantom until a phantom pulls up. That was Aaron 995 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:50,120 Speaker 4: Rodgers last night or whatever Thursday night. Yeah, Aaron Rodgers 996 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 4: was like the Rolls Royce Phantom of quarterback play. And 997 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:55,680 Speaker 4: I was like, and we've been without it for so 998 00:45:55,719 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 4: long because even his last year in Green. 999 00:45:57,680 --> 00:45:58,960 Speaker 3: Bay, it just wasn't the same. 1000 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,560 Speaker 4: He had a broken them all of that season, and 1001 00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,279 Speaker 4: everybody has overlooked that injury because Aaron himself downplayed it. Yeah, 1002 00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 4: but I'm like, just because Aaron's downplaying it does not 1003 00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,200 Speaker 4: mean that did not affect him. We have not seen 1004 00:46:10,280 --> 00:46:13,719 Speaker 4: this Aaron Rodgers since his last MVP season, And I 1005 00:46:13,760 --> 00:46:15,799 Speaker 4: am looking at this man like, oh my god, this 1006 00:46:15,840 --> 00:46:16,840 Speaker 4: is why we put up with you. 1007 00:46:17,000 --> 00:46:18,879 Speaker 5: Yeah, because you're so good at. 1008 00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 4: Breaking football and like when just have the confidence in 1009 00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:25,479 Speaker 4: him throwing the football down the field, knowing exactly where 1010 00:46:25,480 --> 00:46:27,680 Speaker 4: to put it, diagnosing what the defenses are trying to do. 1011 00:46:27,719 --> 00:46:28,239 Speaker 5: Against him. 1012 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,239 Speaker 4: You saw all of that, and like then you realize 1013 00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 4: when you're watching these other quarterbacks, say for like Patrick 1014 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,960 Speaker 4: Mahomes yeah and Josh Allen, maybe you're holding your breath 1015 00:46:38,960 --> 00:46:42,000 Speaker 4: almost when they're making these decisions and you're not quite 1016 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:44,759 Speaker 4: convinced that they're making the right decisions, Whereas when you're 1017 00:46:44,760 --> 00:46:47,560 Speaker 4: watching Aaron Rodgers, you're like, this is exactly how the 1018 00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:49,960 Speaker 4: game is supposed to be played. It is so cool 1019 00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,040 Speaker 4: to see you on Thursday. 1020 00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:56,520 Speaker 2: Finally, it felt like an Aaron Rodgers that could lead 1021 00:46:56,640 --> 00:47:01,040 Speaker 2: this Jets team to the postseason, breaking the thirteen year 1022 00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,560 Speaker 2: postseason drought for the Jets, which is the longest in 1023 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:08,040 Speaker 2: the NFL for the longest and all four major sport 1024 00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:10,440 Speaker 2: leagues in the US. But they're also getting a nice 1025 00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:12,279 Speaker 2: little path set up for them with two of going 1026 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 2: down in Miami. He's out to at least Week eight 1027 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:17,920 Speaker 2: as early as he can come back. So it really 1028 00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:21,719 Speaker 2: gives the Jets kind of that Jets Bills competition for 1029 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,880 Speaker 2: who can take who can take the division? 1030 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:26,919 Speaker 4: We were I was right not to be concerned about 1031 00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 4: the Bills. The Bills are just fine. 1032 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, They're gonna be just fine. I mean it was. 1033 00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:35,040 Speaker 3: It was very impressive. It felt like he's back, baby. 1034 00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,840 Speaker 2: But there was another big takeaway from that game on Thursday, 1035 00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:43,040 Speaker 2: and it was the Rogers and Robert Sala push on 1036 00:47:43,120 --> 00:47:43,759 Speaker 2: the sideline. 1037 00:47:43,920 --> 00:47:47,520 Speaker 3: So like, was the push a big deal? Was it nothing? 1038 00:47:49,480 --> 00:47:51,239 Speaker 2: I don't think it was a huge deal, But I 1039 00:47:51,280 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 2: don't think it was nothing like it just we've heard 1040 00:47:54,760 --> 00:47:56,600 Speaker 2: that there's been tension between these two. 1041 00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,720 Speaker 3: All off season, all off season obviously. 1042 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,280 Speaker 2: Solid calling out Rogers for missing many camp stories, getting 1043 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:07,760 Speaker 2: Leagud he hasn't really had his back. 1044 00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:11,920 Speaker 4: I just the fact that they both laughed about it 1045 00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:15,480 Speaker 4: afterwards makes me think this isn't a big deal to 1046 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 4: worry about. 1047 00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 3: I think it was something, It was something in that moment. 1048 00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,640 Speaker 4: But the fact that both of them are covering for 1049 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 4: each other, that's more than That's more than Sala was 1050 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:24,400 Speaker 4: doing in medicamp. 1051 00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:26,960 Speaker 3: It's a step forward right the right. 1052 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,480 Speaker 4: So I don't think, and make no mistake, it's because 1053 00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:31,480 Speaker 4: they won that game. Had they not won that game, 1054 00:48:31,680 --> 00:48:34,240 Speaker 4: that would have that would have turned into something much bigger. 1055 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:36,800 Speaker 3: It would have been like the end of season, literally 1056 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:37,120 Speaker 3: like that. 1057 00:48:37,840 --> 00:48:40,399 Speaker 4: The the fact that they both covered for each other, 1058 00:48:40,440 --> 00:48:43,000 Speaker 4: to me tells me like all right, if this is fine. 1059 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:43,400 Speaker 3: They're mending. 1060 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:46,239 Speaker 4: I don't know, I don't even They're just they know 1061 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:48,319 Speaker 4: how to play with or like be around each other 1062 00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 4: now dealing. They know how to deal with each other. 1063 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:51,760 Speaker 3: You're just dealing. 1064 00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 4: I mean at this point, like they're the same age basically, 1065 00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 4: and like Rogers has had more successful league. 1066 00:48:58,440 --> 00:48:59,399 Speaker 3: What are the same age? 1067 00:48:59,480 --> 00:49:02,799 Speaker 5: Yeah, solo is of Rodgers is forty Salad. 1068 00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,879 Speaker 3: Is forty one, forty two, like. 1069 00:49:05,160 --> 00:49:07,840 Speaker 5: Uh forty five years. So yeah, I like they're. 1070 00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's same, same, same, It's close. 1071 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:10,840 Speaker 5: I mean it's close. 1072 00:49:10,920 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 4: It's close, and like to the point where like Rogers 1073 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,319 Speaker 4: is also like I've had more success in this league 1074 00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:15,719 Speaker 4: than you have. 1075 00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:17,040 Speaker 5: So what are you going to tell me? 1076 00:49:17,120 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 3: You can't? Right, you can't. There's a handful of guys. 1077 00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:27,319 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe two right now, Mahonie and Aaron Rodgers. But 1078 00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,480 Speaker 2: like Mahoonie would never do that because Andy Reid is 1079 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:30,680 Speaker 2: like the best of the best two and they've had 1080 00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:31,440 Speaker 2: the success together. 1081 00:49:31,640 --> 00:49:33,439 Speaker 5: Yeah, and Andy Reid is like by far and away 1082 00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:35,520 Speaker 5: his like elder Yes. 1083 00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:36,240 Speaker 3: Yes, true. 1084 00:49:36,280 --> 00:49:38,279 Speaker 2: Okay, well let's go to the opposite end of the 1085 00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:41,759 Speaker 2: spectrum here, because it's been a rough start for rookie quarterbacks. 1086 00:49:42,840 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 2: All eyes though, have been on Caleb Williams, who has 1087 00:49:45,719 --> 00:49:49,320 Speaker 2: yet to throw a touchdown pass yet got hit fifteen times, 1088 00:49:49,360 --> 00:49:52,600 Speaker 2: including seventeen sacks. I mean, the Bear's oline needs to 1089 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:54,240 Speaker 2: step up and help this man. He has been sacked 1090 00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,200 Speaker 2: nine times, tied with Raiders Gardner. 1091 00:49:56,880 --> 00:49:58,640 Speaker 3: Minshew for the most in the league. 1092 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,319 Speaker 4: Like Bear's oh, the miscommunications along the offensive line are 1093 00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:06,720 Speaker 4: the most concerning part of the Bears right now because 1094 00:50:06,760 --> 00:50:08,200 Speaker 4: of the fact that this was the unit that was 1095 00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:09,840 Speaker 4: supposed to have the most continuity on offense. 1096 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:11,200 Speaker 3: Mm hm and. 1097 00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:11,799 Speaker 5: I get it. 1098 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,920 Speaker 4: This scheme, especially this run scheme under Shane Waldron, requires 1099 00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,560 Speaker 4: a like so much communication between offensive linemen because they're 1100 00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:23,520 Speaker 4: not working. They're all working together, which is a good 1101 00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:25,640 Speaker 4: thing given that it doesn't leave any of these guys 1102 00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 4: on an island. But it also means that you have 1103 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:30,960 Speaker 4: to understand not only what you're doing, what the guys 1104 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:32,759 Speaker 4: next to you are doing, but what the entire line 1105 00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 4: is doing. Because you saw it in that game against 1106 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,839 Speaker 4: the Texans, where like half the line is like sliding, 1107 00:50:40,080 --> 00:50:43,280 Speaker 4: like this protection clearly was changed, so half the guys 1108 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:46,480 Speaker 4: got the memo, half of them didn't, and you had 1109 00:50:46,520 --> 00:50:48,600 Speaker 4: guys that kind of like got out into the second 1110 00:50:48,680 --> 00:50:50,759 Speaker 4: level with like nobody to block, and you're just like, 1111 00:50:50,800 --> 00:50:54,000 Speaker 4: how does that happen? Guys are coming free. They didn't 1112 00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:57,880 Speaker 4: have a cohesive plan against third down exotic fronts, which 1113 00:50:58,120 --> 00:50:59,359 Speaker 4: Tamaiko Ryans is going to bring. 1114 00:50:59,280 --> 00:51:02,880 Speaker 5: A ton of. I could not, for the life. 1115 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:05,960 Speaker 4: Of me understand why there were so many miscommunications along 1116 00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:07,000 Speaker 4: the offensive line. 1117 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:11,279 Speaker 5: They also put a lot of those protection calls on 1118 00:51:11,400 --> 00:51:14,720 Speaker 5: Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams was getting to the line having 1119 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:17,400 Speaker 5: to be the one to say to slide the protections 1120 00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:20,360 Speaker 5: to diagnose what he's seeing, which I don't think is 1121 00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,320 Speaker 5: fair to put on him when this is his second 1122 00:51:23,320 --> 00:51:25,759 Speaker 5: game in the NFL. NFL defenses are so much more 1123 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,240 Speaker 5: sophisticated than anything that Caleb Williams has seen in college. 1124 00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,280 Speaker 5: The college game, while it may look. 1125 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 4: To the you know, casual eye as being a very 1126 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:37,000 Speaker 4: similar game, it is not. And the fact that they're 1127 00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:42,080 Speaker 4: they're not relying on where you're supposed to have the experience, 1128 00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:45,279 Speaker 4: which is along the offensive line. They're not running, They're 1129 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:48,680 Speaker 4: not leaning on the run game. They cannot they have 1130 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,480 Speaker 4: not been able to get that going. I don't even care. 1131 00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:52,600 Speaker 4: If it's like handoffs, there are more ways to run 1132 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:54,560 Speaker 4: the ball than just handing it off. You can get 1133 00:51:54,600 --> 00:51:56,719 Speaker 4: get DeAndre Swift out into space. He is not the 1134 00:51:56,719 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 4: bowling ball type of back. He is the one that 1135 00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,839 Speaker 4: you need to get into and he can go from there. 1136 00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:05,799 Speaker 4: I don't understand the plan quite yet, But at the 1137 00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:08,240 Speaker 4: same time, I didn't think I was going to understand. 1138 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 4: I didn't think this was going to look good. I 1139 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,440 Speaker 4: didn't think I knew that Caleb Williams was going to 1140 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,799 Speaker 4: There was going to be some adjustment here. 1141 00:52:13,840 --> 00:52:14,640 Speaker 3: I will give it to you. 1142 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:16,840 Speaker 2: I think everyone else thought the Bears were going to 1143 00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,440 Speaker 2: be a lot better out of the gates, but you 1144 00:52:20,480 --> 00:52:24,400 Speaker 2: were tempering expectations strong from day one, and I think 1145 00:52:24,440 --> 00:52:26,440 Speaker 2: it's going to be a bigger learning curve for Caleb 1146 00:52:26,480 --> 00:52:30,520 Speaker 2: than most expected. What got me was kind of like 1147 00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:33,600 Speaker 2: how defeated he sounded after the game, So like, how does. 1148 00:52:33,480 --> 00:52:35,600 Speaker 3: This get better for Caleb? 1149 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,480 Speaker 2: Are these just normal growing pains or are there actual 1150 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:39,800 Speaker 2: problems in his development? 1151 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I'm not going to say that I expected 1152 00:52:42,080 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 4: it to necessarily look this bad. Yeah, But at the 1153 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:48,279 Speaker 4: same time, like I kept talking about and the reason 1154 00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:50,600 Speaker 4: why I was trying to temper expectations is because there 1155 00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 4: is so much new on this offense. There is a 1156 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:56,799 Speaker 4: new offensive coordinator and Shane Waldron. Caleb Williams is a 1157 00:52:56,840 --> 00:53:00,840 Speaker 4: new quarterback to the entire league. He has new weapons 1158 00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,680 Speaker 4: in Chicago in Keenan Allen. Roma Dunze is a rookie. 1159 00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 4: You've also been without Keenan Allen. Now this is gonna 1160 00:53:06,560 --> 00:53:09,840 Speaker 4: be the second week without Keenan Allen on the field. Again, 1161 00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:12,120 Speaker 4: the run game has not been established. You have not 1162 00:53:12,200 --> 00:53:14,759 Speaker 4: been able to do that, like to sustain drives in 1163 00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:18,440 Speaker 4: that way. And you also saw Kayleb Williams trying to 1164 00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:20,080 Speaker 4: figure out in real time what he can and can't 1165 00:53:20,080 --> 00:53:22,719 Speaker 4: get away with. There were so many scramble drills in 1166 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,480 Speaker 4: that game against the Texans that ended in negative plays, 1167 00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,839 Speaker 4: as in a sack or an interception that he would 1168 00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:29,160 Speaker 4: have absolutely gotten away. 1169 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:29,480 Speaker 5: With in college. 1170 00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:31,760 Speaker 3: Oh, definitely, But it's a different game. It's a different, 1171 00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:32,439 Speaker 3: different game. 1172 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,960 Speaker 5: You need to give him the grace to figure that out. 1173 00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:35,120 Speaker 1: Now. 1174 00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 4: If he continues to try and do those things into 1175 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,680 Speaker 4: the fourth, fifth, sixth week of the season, then I 1176 00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:43,800 Speaker 4: will start getting concerned. But as we've seen, Kayla Williams 1177 00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:48,320 Speaker 4: has started to learn incrementally, very very very small steps, 1178 00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,759 Speaker 4: has started to learn what he can and get away with. 1179 00:53:50,880 --> 00:53:53,320 Speaker 4: So I really do think that this is more normal 1180 00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,680 Speaker 4: than it isn't. Yeah, we need to get flush the 1181 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:59,160 Speaker 4: image and like kind of the totality of c J. 1182 00:53:59,239 --> 00:54:01,839 Speaker 4: Strous rookie, see an out of our memory, because first 1183 00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,120 Speaker 4: of all, it wasn't all sunshine rainbows for CJ. Stroud 1184 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,759 Speaker 4: last season. He took eleven sacks in the first two 1185 00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:08,719 Speaker 4: games of the season. The Texans loves both of those 1186 00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:09,480 Speaker 4: first two games. 1187 00:54:09,320 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 5: Of the season. 1188 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:13,160 Speaker 4: This is not something that you can compare either, because 1189 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:14,719 Speaker 4: at the end of the day, c J. Stroud is 1190 00:54:14,760 --> 00:54:19,720 Speaker 4: still the exception, not the rule. It takes quarterbacks time 1191 00:54:19,880 --> 00:54:21,000 Speaker 4: to develop in this league. 1192 00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,399 Speaker 2: What I did like is seeing CJ. Stroud go over 1193 00:54:23,440 --> 00:54:25,400 Speaker 2: and talk to Kayleb Williams. 1194 00:54:25,080 --> 00:54:27,040 Speaker 3: After the game. I like it. He said. 1195 00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:29,000 Speaker 2: He said, I had some of the best advice given 1196 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 2: to me last year, and I you know, I wasn't 1197 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:33,319 Speaker 2: trying to treat him like I was trying to be 1198 00:54:33,360 --> 00:54:35,920 Speaker 2: like little bro or nothing. But he said he knows 1199 00:54:35,920 --> 00:54:37,319 Speaker 2: that too, and he has a ton of respect for him. 1200 00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:39,600 Speaker 2: He just told him that he has respect for him, 1201 00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:43,400 Speaker 2: and I think it's so important to like have have 1202 00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:46,359 Speaker 2: that connection with someone, especially like in every industry when 1203 00:54:46,400 --> 00:54:47,839 Speaker 2: you have someone who's like maybe a year or two 1204 00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:49,680 Speaker 2: ahead of you, Like, Hey, don't worry, I've been there, 1205 00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:52,480 Speaker 2: You're gonna be okay, You're talented, you got this. Like 1206 00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,120 Speaker 2: just knowing that and feeling that and seeing that, I 1207 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:56,520 Speaker 2: think is so important and. 1208 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,200 Speaker 3: It's a huge sunt of respect. It really is. I 1209 00:54:59,280 --> 00:55:02,480 Speaker 3: don't he did not take it as a like, uh no. 1210 00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:03,200 Speaker 5: I think c J. 1211 00:55:03,320 --> 00:55:05,400 Speaker 4: Stroud meant it with the best of intentions. But I 1212 00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:07,640 Speaker 4: also understand where KYLEB Williams is kind of coming from 1213 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,120 Speaker 4: where he I think a lot of people were unhappy 1214 00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:12,239 Speaker 4: with his reaction and thought that that was kind of 1215 00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:14,520 Speaker 4: like whatever of him. But I'm also like, you have 1216 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,799 Speaker 4: to understand that Kayleb Williams, in his mind and with 1217 00:55:17,880 --> 00:55:21,360 Speaker 4: his belief in himself, c J. Stroud is the competition. 1218 00:55:21,800 --> 00:55:22,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1219 00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:22,360 Speaker 9: C J. 1220 00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,480 Speaker 4: Stroud is the guy that like he doesn't want to 1221 00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:26,800 Speaker 4: be compared to. He's the one that he wants to surpass. 1222 00:55:26,920 --> 00:55:29,520 Speaker 4: Like It's one thing if Aaron Rodgers were to web 1223 00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:31,400 Speaker 4: said that, I think to Kayleb Williams, because Kaya Williams 1224 00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:34,399 Speaker 4: has looked up to Aaron Rodgers' entire life. I think 1225 00:55:34,400 --> 00:55:36,279 Speaker 4: it's different when it's the guy ahead of you that 1226 00:55:36,360 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 4: you know you're going to be going up against when 1227 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:42,000 Speaker 4: it comes to the quarterback rewards and all that other stuff, 1228 00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:44,440 Speaker 4: like he he is part of the same generation of 1229 00:55:44,520 --> 00:55:46,799 Speaker 4: quarterback as Caleb Williams is, and so I think that 1230 00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:49,960 Speaker 4: there's I understand, I'm yeah, I understand both sides. I 1231 00:55:50,040 --> 00:55:51,839 Speaker 4: understand that c J. Stroud was trying to be nice 1232 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:54,160 Speaker 4: and trying to show respect, and I applaud him for 1233 00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:56,640 Speaker 4: that because I think CJ is a wonderful person. I 1234 00:55:56,680 --> 00:55:59,920 Speaker 4: also understand Kayleb Williams being like, appreciate it, bro, but 1235 00:56:00,040 --> 00:56:02,920 Speaker 4: I don't need that. You're my competition, and like, I 1236 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,320 Speaker 4: get it, I get it. He's he's like he's a competitor. 1237 00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:10,000 Speaker 2: Also interesting hearing Justin Fields kind of chime in too, 1238 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:13,520 Speaker 2: former Bears quarterback saying he'll get he'll get most of 1239 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:17,359 Speaker 2: the blame, but he'll be fine. It's not Yeah, it's 1240 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 2: not him, but he's going to get most of the blame. 1241 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,520 Speaker 5: And just playing quarterback in the NFL. 1242 00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. 1243 00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:23,839 Speaker 5: Yeah, it does. 1244 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 4: And I mean I think that a lot of people 1245 00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:28,600 Speaker 4: are quick to also blame the offensive coordinator and the 1246 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,480 Speaker 4: coaching in Chicago, and. 1247 00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:32,399 Speaker 3: It's going to be a lot of this. There's gonna 1248 00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:36,640 Speaker 3: be a lot of point like not me, you his crazy. 1249 00:56:36,320 --> 00:56:38,480 Speaker 4: Part of all of this is is that Maddie Berflus 1250 00:56:38,560 --> 00:56:40,239 Speaker 4: is going to get the blame in this. And I 1251 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:41,920 Speaker 4: think a lot of it is Maddie Rufus's own doing, 1252 00:56:41,960 --> 00:56:43,719 Speaker 4: because he showed on hard Knocks that he goes into 1253 00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 4: the quarterback meetings where that's not typical of a defensive 1254 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,840 Speaker 4: head coach. Because I've asked around defensive head coaches in 1255 00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,880 Speaker 4: the league currently and they're like, I don't spend any 1256 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,520 Speaker 4: time in the quarterback room. But also, Matdieberflus's defense is 1257 00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 4: playing out of its mind, like this could very well 1258 00:56:59,719 --> 00:57:01,520 Speaker 4: be the best defense in the league. It's not hyperbole 1259 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,960 Speaker 4: to say that, especially in the second half with the 1260 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,040 Speaker 4: adjustments that Maddieberfluce is making at halftime. They are allowing 1261 00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,120 Speaker 4: just a forty six point zero passer rating in the 1262 00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:12,480 Speaker 4: second half of games through these two games, ranked second 1263 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,920 Speaker 4: in the league. They have not allowed a second half touchdown. 1264 00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:19,080 Speaker 4: It's insane what this defense is doing. They won that 1265 00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:20,560 Speaker 4: game for them against the Titans at home. 1266 00:57:20,600 --> 00:57:22,240 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, they kept. 1267 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,040 Speaker 4: Them in a game that they had no business being 1268 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:29,800 Speaker 4: in in Houston. I cannot even fathom, like how good 1269 00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,760 Speaker 4: this Bears defense is and we're overlooking it because Kayleb 1270 00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:33,560 Speaker 4: Williams is struggling. 1271 00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:35,600 Speaker 3: Well, no, it's O line. The Bears O line needs 1272 00:57:35,600 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 3: to step up and help. 1273 00:57:38,400 --> 00:57:42,160 Speaker 4: Calling just needs to be better. There's there's some decisions 1274 00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:44,000 Speaker 4: that need to be made that are better than by Kayla, 1275 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:45,360 Speaker 4: but again that's gonna come. 1276 00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:48,520 Speaker 2: And also I think it's again there was such high expectations, 1277 00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:52,360 Speaker 2: and when people go in with such high expectations, you're disappointed. 1278 00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:56,400 Speaker 3: Exact if you. 1279 00:57:56,360 --> 00:58:00,360 Speaker 2: Go in don't expect much and then you win, you're like, Okay, 1280 00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 2: that was cool that, Like I didn't think we're going 1281 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:03,800 Speaker 2: to this is a win. 1282 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,360 Speaker 4: Exactly why I was trying to temper expectations. I was 1283 00:58:06,400 --> 00:58:11,360 Speaker 4: trying to protect these players, this team from these lofty expectations. 1284 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:12,320 Speaker 5: Immediately. 1285 00:58:13,040 --> 00:58:15,959 Speaker 4: I absolutely have expectations for this team when it comes 1286 00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,360 Speaker 4: to twenty twenty five. Especially, I did not expect this 1287 00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,320 Speaker 4: to go well right away, and I wanted to protect 1288 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,680 Speaker 4: these guys from having these expectations against them and then 1289 00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,920 Speaker 4: having the city turn on them you were alone on 1290 00:58:25,960 --> 00:58:29,360 Speaker 4: that eye I was you were still alone on that island. 1291 00:58:29,640 --> 00:58:32,320 Speaker 2: All like, my comments are filling up with can you 1292 00:58:32,360 --> 00:58:34,280 Speaker 2: just have her be nicer about the Bears. 1293 00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, she's one of you. 1294 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 7: And also I'm being nice. 1295 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:43,800 Speaker 4: I am trying to temper expectations for the benefit of 1296 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,040 Speaker 4: the team itself. 1297 00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:46,040 Speaker 5: I've been there. 1298 00:58:46,120 --> 00:58:48,440 Speaker 4: I don't want these guys to get the blame for 1299 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,680 Speaker 4: something that is just going to take time. I can't win, though, Alex, 1300 00:58:51,720 --> 00:58:54,400 Speaker 4: because my comments are also filled with like now, I'm like, 1301 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:56,760 Speaker 4: you know, writing things about how like these are the 1302 00:58:56,760 --> 00:58:58,680 Speaker 4: things I saw that from Caleb that I'm encouraged with, 1303 00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,000 Speaker 4: and these are things that I expect to get better. 1304 00:59:01,120 --> 00:59:03,160 Speaker 4: Everyone's like, oh, excuse is O to Bears fans, I'm like, 1305 00:59:03,200 --> 00:59:06,120 Speaker 4: first of all, yeah, no, yeah, Like, I am just 1306 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:09,360 Speaker 4: trying to give you a very objective, realistic point of 1307 00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:12,720 Speaker 4: view for what is happening in Chicago right now, because 1308 00:59:12,760 --> 00:59:15,360 Speaker 4: none of y'all apparently. 1309 00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:15,960 Speaker 5: Have to be realistic about this. 1310 00:59:16,200 --> 00:59:20,520 Speaker 2: Chicago Bears fans, deep breath, seriously, deep breath. 1311 00:59:20,600 --> 00:59:22,280 Speaker 3: We're gonna taking a quick break here, but when we 1312 00:59:22,320 --> 00:59:22,800 Speaker 3: come back. 1313 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 2: How much player access is too much access?

First Players and their podcast. I'm here for it now. 1333 01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of I think everybody should utilize 1334 01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:32,960 Speaker 2: their platform absolutely right. However, if you don't have proper 1335 01:00:33,000 --> 01:00:36,000 Speaker 2: media training or have someone to help you decide, like 1336 01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:41,200 Speaker 2: pr a topic, maybe you shouldn't discuss on a podcast 1337 01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,800 Speaker 2: or share some team secrets. 1338 01:00:43,800 --> 01:00:45,720 Speaker 3: This is where I think it gets a little dicey. 1339 01:00:45,800 --> 01:00:47,919 Speaker 2: We've had a couple of situations this week that made 1340 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:51,160 Speaker 2: me really they made the new cycles the main like 1341 01:00:51,200 --> 01:00:55,040 Speaker 2: stream media news cycles because of these players podcasts. And 1342 01:00:55,080 --> 01:00:59,560 Speaker 2: we actually saw the miked up moment Sunday Night Football 1343 01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,560 Speaker 2: with CJ. Stroud where he told Jalen Johnson on the Bears, hey, 1344 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:05,800 Speaker 2: stop telling your secrets on the Richard Sherman podcast. You 1345 01:01:05,840 --> 01:01:08,600 Speaker 2: ain't slip brother, you ain't getting me. And this is 1346 01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,640 Speaker 2: like things I think about all the time when you 1347 01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:17,120 Speaker 2: hear players really like just give everything. And again, whoever 1348 01:01:17,160 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 2: has the podcast is doing a good job getting these 1349 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 2: like little snidbits out of these players. But you have 1350 01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:26,000 Speaker 2: to remember other teams are going to listen to this. 1351 01:01:26,080 --> 01:01:29,000 Speaker 2: Your opponents, if they know that you're on something, are 1352 01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 2: going to listen to this. And if you give away secrets, 1353 01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 2: so what are you doing. 1354 01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:36,720 Speaker 4: I am not going to discourage anybody from divulging anything 1355 01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:37,760 Speaker 4: because I want to know everything. 1356 01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,520 Speaker 3: Well, it's great for us, this is great for us. 1357 01:01:40,680 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 4: So but my I think the bigger issue is that 1358 01:01:45,200 --> 01:01:50,120 Speaker 4: these player led podcasts. I love the people using their platforms, 1359 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:54,400 Speaker 4: But we as consumers, we as fans have to have 1360 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:59,240 Speaker 4: more listening comprehension and understand that we're only getting one 1361 01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:01,600 Speaker 4: side of the story. Yeah, that is I think the 1362 01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:06,280 Speaker 4: bigger kind of problem with more of the player led 1363 01:02:06,360 --> 01:02:09,160 Speaker 4: stuff is that you have to understand this is a 1364 01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:14,360 Speaker 4: one sided version of this information. A journalist's role in 1365 01:02:14,440 --> 01:02:18,080 Speaker 4: this current landscape is to get to ask tough questions 1366 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:21,240 Speaker 4: to give you both sides of the story, to make 1367 01:02:21,240 --> 01:02:23,240 Speaker 4: sure that they are getting to what the truth is 1368 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:27,480 Speaker 4: versus what players what the truth is to the players, 1369 01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:30,240 Speaker 4: because that is going to be through one singular lens. 1370 01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:35,040 Speaker 4: That is why I think there is still there's more 1371 01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:39,400 Speaker 4: of a need, quite honestly than ever for unbiased and 1372 01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 4: very objective journalists to analyze certain things to give you 1373 01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:47,080 Speaker 4: both sides to try and get to the truth of 1374 01:02:47,120 --> 01:02:49,160 Speaker 4: the matter. It's not always I get it. It's it 1375 01:02:49,200 --> 01:02:52,320 Speaker 4: doesn't always work that people are biased to journalists are 1376 01:02:52,320 --> 01:02:56,320 Speaker 4: biased to. But we have to stop kind of reacting, 1377 01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,120 Speaker 4: just like having these knee jerk reactions to things that 1378 01:02:59,160 --> 01:03:01,720 Speaker 4: players are saying all the time because that is coming 1379 01:03:01,760 --> 01:03:05,840 Speaker 4: from their personal lens. Yeah, it does not necessary, especially 1380 01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:08,160 Speaker 4: when there are more people involved in things and things 1381 01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:10,840 Speaker 4: like that, you are not necessarily getting the whole story. 1382 01:03:11,040 --> 01:03:11,240 Speaker 3: Now. 1383 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:14,040 Speaker 2: Again, this is great for us, right, we get good 1384 01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:16,320 Speaker 2: media stories out of it. But I have to imagine 1385 01:03:16,360 --> 01:03:21,680 Speaker 2: these teams don't want their players sharing their secrets calling 1386 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 2: out teammates. We've heard Micah Parsons do this on his podcast. 1387 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 2: I know there have been issues within the locker room 1388 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:30,920 Speaker 2: in the past with Micah and this podcast and his teammates, 1389 01:03:30,920 --> 01:03:33,840 Speaker 2: so there needs to be some sort of a balance. Again, 1390 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:37,960 Speaker 2: It's great for us the sports talkers because it gives 1391 01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:41,680 Speaker 2: us like great content to go over, but just really interesting, 1392 01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,240 Speaker 2: especially when you got to see it and you heard 1393 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,600 Speaker 2: one of the top guys in c J. Stroud call out, 1394 01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,720 Speaker 2: Like I heard what you said. 1395 01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:51,640 Speaker 4: You know what podcast? Now I get mehit me do it. 1396 01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:53,720 Speaker 4: It makes me like c J. Stroud even more because 1397 01:03:53,840 --> 01:03:56,360 Speaker 4: he was great, straight up sicko. Yeah, he is like 1398 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 4: Luke Keigley levels of prepared for this kind of stuff. 1399 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,800 Speaker 5: And that is what makes you good at this game though, 1400 01:04:01,880 --> 01:04:02,680 Speaker 5: That is what makes. 1401 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,080 Speaker 3: You your research. Do your research you're playing it. 1402 01:04:05,160 --> 01:04:07,280 Speaker 2: Watch the table that they were on a podcast, Go 1403 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:08,960 Speaker 2: listen right, watch the tape. 1404 01:04:09,160 --> 01:04:10,600 Speaker 5: Make of you guys know these guys. 1405 01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,320 Speaker 4: Tendency is like, prepare, prepare, prepare, because that is what 1406 01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:14,960 Speaker 4: is going to set you apart. And that is why 1407 01:04:14,960 --> 01:04:17,720 Speaker 4: I am so confident in CJ. Stroud ascending into a 1408 01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:22,080 Speaker 4: very elite quarterback because he's a already in sicko and I. 1409 01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:24,240 Speaker 3: Adore it and Siko's a good thing. 1410 01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:27,720 Speaker 5: You guys, just let me complimenting preenthesy is compliment good. 1411 01:04:27,560 --> 01:04:29,480 Speaker 2: Sick Okay, Now let's check it over Kevin Wirt and see 1412 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:30,040 Speaker 2: what's trending. 1413 01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:34,040 Speaker 12: Yeah, many of the big games have reached halftime, if 1414 01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,760 Speaker 12: not into the second half. We're keeping an eye on 1415 01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,880 Speaker 12: that big one featuring USC and Michigan. The eleventh ranked 1416 01:04:40,880 --> 01:04:45,600 Speaker 12: Trojans currently trailing the eighteenth ranked Wolverines fourteen to three. 1417 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,240 Speaker 12: That game has reached half time down in Baton Ruge, 1418 01:04:49,240 --> 01:04:52,000 Speaker 12: the Bruins have tied it up at seventeen. They've reached 1419 01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:55,840 Speaker 12: the halftime break as number sixteen LSU and UCLA all 1420 01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,720 Speaker 12: knotted up, and number ten Penn Skate in action right 1421 01:04:59,760 --> 01:05:02,080 Speaker 12: now against Kent State and this one's going as expected 1422 01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 12: there as the two to o Nickney Lyons. 1423 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:05,320 Speaker 7: On their way to making it. 1424 01:05:05,360 --> 01:05:07,840 Speaker 12: Three and oh they're in the third quarter and already 1425 01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:12,320 Speaker 12: leading this one twenty eight to nothing. They've resumed that 1426 01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:15,760 Speaker 12: game between West Virginia and Kansas. The Jayhawks were leading 1427 01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,480 Speaker 12: that one before the weather delay kicked in, and now 1428 01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:19,880 Speaker 12: it's the Mountaineers in front. 1429 01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:21,640 Speaker 7: Thirty two twenty eight twenty. 1430 01:05:21,480 --> 01:05:26,720 Speaker 12: Six seconds ago out in Morgantown. Number seventeen Notre Dame 1431 01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 12: in Miami of Ohio was a slow start for the Irish, 1432 01:05:29,280 --> 01:05:32,520 Speaker 12: kind of maybe bringing back some bad flashbacks for Irish 1433 01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:34,200 Speaker 12: fans from a couple of weeks ago when they lost 1434 01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,840 Speaker 12: in Northern Illinois. But this Mac team the Irish are 1435 01:05:38,320 --> 01:05:41,360 Speaker 12: seemingly able to handle, as they are leading at fourteen 1436 01:05:41,440 --> 01:05:45,919 Speaker 12: to three with about thirteen minutes ago in the third quarter. 1437 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,160 Speaker 12: Number nineteen Louisville on top of Georgia Tech seventeen fourteen. 1438 01:05:49,200 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 12: They've got fourteen minutes ago in the third twenty third 1439 01:05:52,280 --> 01:05:56,439 Speaker 12: ranked Northern Illinois fourteen three lead against Buffalo. They've got 1440 01:05:56,440 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 12: thirteen minutes ago in the third quarter. Some other results 1441 01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:05,560 Speaker 12: from earlier today Ohio State winners again really was nothing unexpected, 1442 01:06:05,600 --> 01:06:08,760 Speaker 12: as the third ranked Buck guys rollover Marshall forty nine 1443 01:06:08,800 --> 01:06:12,320 Speaker 12: to fourteen.

And in Major League Baseball, this is 1470 01:07:48,520 --> 01:07:52,600 Speaker 12: just an interesting story of losing focus and not being 1471 01:07:52,640 --> 01:07:53,640 Speaker 12: focused on the team. 1472 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,880 Speaker 7: As C.

So that's certainly going to be 1477 01:08:04,840 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 12: a tough lesson for the shortstop. 1478 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:08,400 Speaker 7: Thanks you, guys, see. 1479 01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:10,400 Speaker 2: Thank you Kevin.

Then I'm going to try to do 1502 01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,400 Speaker 8: help the team. You and I saw with the Angels. Hey, 1503 01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:16,800 Speaker 8: if I'm going to pitch, they need five innings from me, 1504 01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:18,640 Speaker 8: they need seven innings from me. I'm going to go 1505 01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:20,040 Speaker 8: out to and turn do the best. Because the book 1506 01:09:20,160 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 8: maybe had a long night the night before and He's 1507 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,840 Speaker 8: always so team focused, and I think that's why I'm 1508 01:09:24,840 --> 01:09:27,479 Speaker 8: telling you the Lord has blessed him put the ability 1509 01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:30,519 Speaker 8: to do great things more than anything. Yeah, he's in 1510 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:33,519 Speaker 8: the limelight, he gets those the spotlight, but because he 1511 01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 8: really cares so much about his team, which is how 1512 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,840 Speaker 8: they think culturally, and where he came from back. 1513 01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:43,240 Speaker 4: In Japan, do you think that he at all really 1514 01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:48,000 Speaker 4: like grasps the fact that he is changing baseball. I mean, 1515 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:51,640 Speaker 4: he is absolutely pushing boundaries and pushing the limits on 1516 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,000 Speaker 4: what we thought a baseball player was or could be, 1517 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 4: and he's surpassing all of our expectations in wildest dreams. 1518 01:09:58,600 --> 01:09:59,960 Speaker 4: Do you think do you get the sense that he 1519 01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,400 Speaker 4: he has any kind of like an understanding of that. 1520 01:10:03,479 --> 01:10:05,080 Speaker 4: I mean, I just I don't know how you grasp 1521 01:10:05,160 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 4: that as anyone, like I'm share the way this entire 1522 01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:09,200 Speaker 4: sport is played. 1523 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,720 Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean that's a good point because perhaps now 1524 01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:15,400 Speaker 8: because he's caught up in you know, trying to perhaps 1525 01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:17,720 Speaker 8: help the dog just win the division now they're into 1526 01:10:17,720 --> 01:10:20,599 Speaker 8: the playoffs, maybe it won't hit him until later. Comment. 1527 01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:23,519 Speaker 8: But you know what, once he realizes that. Okay, let 1528 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,040 Speaker 8: me get look back and say, Okay, one hundred and 1529 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,880 Speaker 8: twenty some RBIs over one hundred and twenty runs scored 1530 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:31,479 Speaker 8: fifty two one months today, and then all these little 1531 01:10:31,479 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 8: things to keep adding up from ops for this luggie 1532 01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:38,120 Speaker 8: fifty I mean he could be fifty five to fifty five. 1533 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:39,160 Speaker 8: Who knows he could be. 1534 01:10:41,439 --> 01:10:43,240 Speaker 2: I think we're gonna get fifty five fifty five. 1535 01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,600 Speaker 8: It's crazy. I mean, you think about this, he's a 1536 01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 8: fifty two. The last three games are in Colorado. That's 1537 01:10:53,280 --> 01:10:55,960 Speaker 8: what I'm saying. What if he leaves his homestand say 1538 01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:58,760 Speaker 8: with you know, three more home runs of fifty five 1539 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,360 Speaker 8: and he's like, you know what, we secure the division, 1540 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:03,960 Speaker 8: I'm going to air it out and just see where 1541 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:06,679 Speaker 8: it goes. It could happen. It could happen. I mean, 1542 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:08,400 Speaker 8: obviously we don't want them to do anything that's going 1543 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:10,439 Speaker 8: to get im hurt. But it's like I always say, 1544 01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:15,960 Speaker 8: without Albert Poolholes in my trout, never doubt these guys 1545 01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:19,360 Speaker 8: because the mentality and their drive and their talent. He 1546 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:21,880 Speaker 8: just can never know what else that might have in mind. 1547 01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,400 Speaker 8: And we'll call what happens. I mean, let me give 1548 01:11:23,400 --> 01:11:26,280 Speaker 8: you another example. On show Hill Tony to get to 1549 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:30,000 Speaker 8: forty forty right, yeah, oh no, it wasn't just another 1550 01:11:30,040 --> 01:11:33,880 Speaker 8: home run. It was to walk up brand slam. It's like, 1551 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 8: I mean, come on. 1552 01:11:35,040 --> 01:11:37,280 Speaker 2: But that's what Albert Pools. 1553 01:11:36,840 --> 01:11:39,160 Speaker 3: Did for his was it? His five hundredth home run? 1554 01:11:39,720 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 5: Was bad? 1555 01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 2: It was like a two home run game and it 1556 01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,599 Speaker 2: was a grand slam to get there At Angel Stadium? 1557 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,840 Speaker 2: Do you remember that the players always step up and 1558 01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:51,679 Speaker 2: do like the most impressive, incredible run, goat style things. 1559 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 8: I mean, and think about Albert Albert now that you 1560 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,360 Speaker 8: bring that up. He played for the Dodgers. After you 1561 01:11:57,360 --> 01:11:59,040 Speaker 8: get let go by the end, Josie goes to a 1562 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,519 Speaker 8: contending and team goes with the playoffs. Ye, and then 1563 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:06,519 Speaker 8: as a visitor he comes to downia Ctitium and he 1564 01:12:06,560 --> 01:12:11,280 Speaker 8: had seven hundred layer here against the Dutch. Yeah, I mean, 1565 01:12:11,320 --> 01:12:13,480 Speaker 8: come on, these guys, I mean like the Joe Montana's 1566 01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,439 Speaker 8: of the World of Tom Brady's.

Alex collsmc Unicorn all the time. Yep, this 1572 01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:31,839 Speaker 4: was going to be his first trip to the postseason. Yeah, 1573 01:12:31,880 --> 01:12:34,479 Speaker 4: that is the most incredible part of this entire story 1574 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,640 Speaker 4: to me. What does it mean to him now to 1575 01:12:36,680 --> 01:12:40,080 Speaker 4: be able to extend his season for the first time 1576 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:41,600 Speaker 4: in seven years. 1577 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:47,000 Speaker 8: I'll keep it very simple for you. When I saw show, Hey, 1578 01:12:47,880 --> 01:12:50,600 Speaker 8: we got off the plane coming from Miami and I 1579 01:12:50,600 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 8: said congratulations some of the doglo Simus and then we 1580 01:12:52,880 --> 01:12:55,160 Speaker 8: talked a little bit on the time. The first thing 1581 01:12:55,240 --> 01:12:59,320 Speaker 8: says is playoffs. The winks like, hey, we're in. It 1582 01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,360 Speaker 8: was like, hold, thank you very much our fifty No, no, 1583 01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:03,400 Speaker 8: he was like, we're in. I mean, if you think 1584 01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:07,280 Speaker 8: about too. He's never played significant games in September. No, 1585 01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:10,320 Speaker 8: And the closest he came was back in twenty twenty 1586 01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:13,240 Speaker 8: on the shortened season when he really struggled. I mean 1587 01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 8: it was ugly to the point where Joe Mann had 1588 01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,720 Speaker 8: no choice but to not play him. Yeah, and in 1589 01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,439 Speaker 8: that case, then Deane was an issue. His hitting was 1590 01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:23,000 Speaker 8: an issue. But he's having a great time. On me, 1591 01:13:23,120 --> 01:13:24,960 Speaker 8: it seems like he's not tired. I mean, you know, 1592 01:13:25,280 --> 01:13:27,519 Speaker 8: till we talk about here's my April swing, because it's 1593 01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 8: so fresh, right, and your may sling or your legs, 1594 01:13:30,120 --> 01:13:32,840 Speaker 8: how they look in April compared to September. It seems 1595 01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:34,760 Speaker 8: like his legs are always in April, you know what 1596 01:13:34,760 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 8: I mean, room is always an aprils Like there's a 1597 01:13:36,840 --> 01:13:38,800 Speaker 8: little bit more, you know, off of the dollar fans, 1598 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:41,160 Speaker 8: for the fan base, for at teams. It's good to 1599 01:13:41,160 --> 01:13:44,400 Speaker 8: see that fresh is because as we know, October is 1600 01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:47,240 Speaker 8: a different monster, which he will have than well by 1601 01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:50,120 Speaker 8: and he'll need to bring his game to another level too. 1602 01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 2: I know, but Dodgers have been okay, They've been one 1603 01:13:51,880 --> 01:13:54,919 Speaker 2: of the best regular season teams over the last decade, 1604 01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 2: but have struggled in October minus that twenty twenty season. 1605 01:13:58,640 --> 01:14:01,920 Speaker 3: Can Otani kind of be that like offensive. 1606 01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:05,280 Speaker 2: Spark that we haven't really seen with the Dodgers come 1607 01:14:05,400 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 2: the postseason he needs to. 1608 01:14:07,360 --> 01:14:09,760 Speaker 8: Be, And I think overall, Alex is going to come 1609 01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:12,000 Speaker 8: down to a couple of guys that also have not 1610 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,720 Speaker 8: performed the last couple of times. It's Ferdie Freeman and 1611 01:14:14,760 --> 01:14:18,479 Speaker 8: Mooki Betts, which is so weird, Max Munsey. They have 1612 01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,600 Speaker 8: to go out there and do their jobs because it 1613 01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:23,599 Speaker 8: can it can't fall. You're not gonna win if one 1614 01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,519 Speaker 8: guy gets three or four hits hit a couple of months. 1615 01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:27,360 Speaker 8: He need a collective unit to go out there and 1616 01:14:27,439 --> 01:14:30,280 Speaker 8: do what they do. Tells ca Hernandez is huge. I mean, 1617 01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:35,200 Speaker 8: he's another gun under the radars. Great think, Oh my god, 1618 01:14:35,240 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 8: how good and how how ploy is to have the 1619 01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:39,320 Speaker 8: thirty home runs quiet as thirty home runs in baseball 1620 01:14:39,360 --> 01:14:42,120 Speaker 8: right now?

It's the Philadelphia Eagles are 1682 01:17:19,160 --> 01:17:23,320 Speaker 13: at Nolan's us the Saints and Derek Carr three point 1683 01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:26,479 Speaker 13: favorites for the Saints right now, Alex, the leader in 1684 01:17:26,479 --> 01:17:28,400 Speaker 13: the clubhouse, will this one's. 1685 01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 2: Tough, But because I think this is kind of a 1686 01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,519 Speaker 2: make or break game for the Eagles, SA one needs 1687 01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:36,960 Speaker 2: a little redemption after that drop. It's not gonna be easy, 1688 01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:38,840 Speaker 2: but I'm gonna take the Eagles. 1689 01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:42,440 Speaker 4: I'm riding with the Saints. I want I'm rooting for chaos. 1690 01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:43,600 Speaker 4: I want chaos. 1691 01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:46,040 Speaker 5: We got chaos. 1692 01:17:46,400 --> 01:17:49,120 Speaker 13: Well, you know what, I'm gonna throw some more chaos 1693 01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:52,000 Speaker 13: your way right now, Carmen, because number two it's the 1694 01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:57,120 Speaker 13: Texans at the Minnesota Vikings. Texans are one and a 1695 01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:58,680 Speaker 13: half going to thunderdogs. 1696 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,360 Speaker 4: Patrick, you're gonna let me for the to Minnesota Vike 1697 01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 4: with them? Are you kidding? That defense against c J. 1698 01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:05,839 Speaker 5: Stroud? 1699 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,519 Speaker 4: I can't read Brian Flores's defense. I know that most 1700 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,559 Speaker 4: NFL teams can't do it either. He is the master 1701 01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,679 Speaker 4: of disguising coverages and disguising blitz packages, and he is going. 1702 01:18:16,479 --> 01:18:18,519 Speaker 5: To confuse the ever loving you know what out of 1703 01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,799 Speaker 5: c J. Stroud. And then I think that Sam Darnald 1704 01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:21,960 Speaker 5: can get it done with the weapons. 1705 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,919 Speaker 4: Although we got Justin Jefferson and Ordanais and battling some injuries, 1706 01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:26,680 Speaker 4: I'm still going with the Vikings. 1707 01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,080 Speaker 3: I'm taking the Texans. 1708 01:18:28,120 --> 01:18:28,360 Speaker 13: C J. 1709 01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:31,760 Speaker 3: Stroud all the way, baby locked in. 1710 01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:38,200 Speaker 2: We were a disagreeing moon, but wow, the opportunity here. 1711 01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:40,759 Speaker 13: Okay, I like this. Well let's see if you disagree 1712 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:44,639 Speaker 13: on this one, we'll see Number three, the Ravens at 1713 01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:49,160 Speaker 13: the Dallas Cowboys. Cowboys are home, Ravens are funny enough. 1714 01:18:49,400 --> 01:18:51,080 Speaker 13: One point, yea favorite. 1715 01:18:51,479 --> 01:18:53,640 Speaker 3: All right, this is another make or break game for 1716 01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 3: both sides. 1717 01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:57,960 Speaker 2: I mean they're both Cowboys are trying to bounce back 1718 01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:02,880 Speaker 2: from an embarrassing loss of homes. But the Ravens need 1719 01:19:02,920 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 2: this a little more. When we talked about it off 1720 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:09,599 Speaker 2: the top of the show, there haven't been very many 1721 01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:12,200 Speaker 2: zero to three team to make it to the postseason 1722 01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:13,559 Speaker 2: since nineteen ninety. 1723 01:19:13,640 --> 01:19:14,559 Speaker 3: It's been four. 1724 01:19:14,840 --> 01:19:18,800 Speaker 2: So I'm going with the Ravens, Lamar Jackson. They need 1725 01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:20,360 Speaker 2: to get their mojo back, they need to get their 1726 01:19:20,439 --> 01:19:22,559 Speaker 2: vibe back. I think they're going to take this one 1727 01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:23,200 Speaker 2: here in Dallas. 1728 01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:26,040 Speaker 4: I'm also going Ravens just because I think that they 1729 01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:30,479 Speaker 4: are finally going to find their mojo between Derek Henry 1730 01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:32,479 Speaker 4: and Lamar Jackson, and Dallas has not been good against 1731 01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:34,479 Speaker 4: the run this year. We saw what that would Aalvi 1732 01:19:34,560 --> 01:19:37,200 Speaker 4: Kamara was able to do against them last week. I 1733 01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,240 Speaker 4: don't have faith in the Dallas defense on the ground, 1734 01:19:39,439 --> 01:19:43,000 Speaker 4: so I think that that is an opportunity for the 1735 01:19:43,080 --> 01:19:44,040 Speaker 4: Ravens to exploit. 1736 01:19:44,520 --> 01:19:45,880 Speaker 5: I'm going Ravens, all right. 1737 01:19:45,880 --> 01:19:48,880 Speaker 13: Well, speaking of teams, needing Mojo. We had the forty 1738 01:19:48,960 --> 01:19:51,759 Speaker 13: nine erst we had to pick this game. 1739 01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:55,280 Speaker 5: We do. Niners are six and a half point favorite. 1740 01:19:55,560 --> 01:19:56,719 Speaker 3: Shells of a team. 1741 01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:57,400 Speaker 5: I mean. 1742 01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:02,120 Speaker 4: The Niners have have more like they have injuries, but 1743 01:20:02,120 --> 01:20:02,720 Speaker 4: they have more. 1744 01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:03,519 Speaker 3: Uh. 1745 01:20:04,320 --> 01:20:06,679 Speaker 4: But just because they have Rock Party and brand Ayuk, 1746 01:20:07,600 --> 01:20:10,880 Speaker 4: I'm going Niners. I do not trust that offensive line 1747 01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,439 Speaker 4: by the Rams. I'm really scared for Stafford. We're gonna see. 1748 01:20:13,479 --> 01:20:14,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard. 1749 01:20:14,320 --> 01:20:17,559 Speaker 2: Mcfavor Shanahan is always a great matchup, but since twenty nineteen, 1750 01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,760 Speaker 2: Rams have only beat the forty nine Ers twice, and 1751 01:20:19,800 --> 01:20:21,400 Speaker 2: one of those was NFC Championship. 1752 01:20:21,400 --> 01:20:23,040 Speaker 3: Came to send the Rams to the Super Bowl, which 1753 01:20:23,080 --> 01:20:23,360 Speaker 3: they won. 1754 01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:25,080 Speaker 2: I don't think they can get it done with the 1755 01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,160 Speaker 2: big pieces they're missing. I'm also going forty nine Ers, 1756 01:20:27,200 --> 01:20:28,559 Speaker 2: and I'm going to be at this game tomorrow. If 1757 01:20:28,600 --> 01:20:30,479 Speaker 2: you see me, say hi, let's get our last one 1758 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:31,240 Speaker 2: in the final. 1759 01:20:31,400 --> 01:20:32,000 Speaker 5: It's Cheefs. 1760 01:20:32,080 --> 01:20:34,920 Speaker 13: That's a three point favorite at the Falcons. 1761 01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:36,120 Speaker 7: When are we fail in Cheefs? 1762 01:20:36,200 --> 01:20:39,400 Speaker 5: Jeeves also Amazon, Taylor just had a really. 1763 01:20:39,280 --> 01:20:43,679 Speaker 2: Good Yeah, Joy Taylor's nephew, may thank you for spending 1764 01:20:43,680 --> 01:20:44,960 Speaker 2: your Saturday afternoon with us. 1765 01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 3: We'll see you next week, same time, same place, baby
