47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: do this.

48
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: Speaking of Orgon, I got some guys out here from

49
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: Oregon and I'm working with.

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: Okay, who you got? Yeah, I don't want you know,

51
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't know how be going about it.

52
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: Now.

53
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: It's NFL chappis.

54
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got some big games, man, the Ravens and

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. We got obviously the Niners versus the Lions.

56
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: This is to me this might be one of.

57
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: The more successfully matched up, more exciting divisional championship rounds

58
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 3: and quite some time.

59
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: Man, what's your take on?

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: First, just the idea of these matchups Ravens and Chiefs.

61
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Chiefs have to go to the Ravens and San Fran

62
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 1: and the Lions, and the Lions have to go see

63
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: them in San Fran.

64
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: Just an initial thought? Good?

65
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Bad? Did it get right? Did it play itself out

66
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 3: the right way?

67
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 2: Man?

68
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: Once these games are played tomorrow, obviously we'll had an

69
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: answer to that.

70
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 2: But I'm really looking forward to both sets of games.

71
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: I really am.

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: The Chiefs started well, hit a patch where it was

73
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 3: just like WHOA, this Chiefs team may not win a

74
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: playoff game, and I was one of the guys thinking that,

75
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 3: and I should have slapped myself because when you have fifteen,

76
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 3: you always have a chance. And so the way that

77
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 3: they can win, however, needs to be done. If they

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: need to run the ball, were gonna run a ballf

79
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 3: we need to pass the ball, We're gonna pass the ball.

80
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 3: If we got to shut teams out defensively, the defense

81
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 3: can do that. The fact that the Chiefs have made

82
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: it this far with what they've had to deal with offensively,

83
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: in my opinion, this is the worst offensive team that

84
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: they've had since Mahomes has been a quarterback. D Ravens,

85
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: on the other hand, number one of scoring defense, number

86
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 3: one of the points allowed. They've been pretty much a

87
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 3: steady consistent team all year, very good on both sides

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 3: of the ball, offensively and defensively. Maar will have his

89
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 3: second MVP, and so I'm looking for that game to

90
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: be a battle of of who makes the mistakes first,

91
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 3: or who can make a play on defense to force

92
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 3: the other team into a mistake. When you go to

93
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 3: the other side of the NFC, the Niners and the Alliance,

94
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 3: this is basically the Niners playing almost a younger version

95
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: of themselves.

96
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: You got Gibbs who can be McCaffrey.

97
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: You got laporta Iowa hawk goy tied end going against Kittle,

98
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 3: another Iowa Hawkeye tight end.

99
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 2: You have a dominant left tackle.

100
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 3: You have Amara Saint Brown who doesn't compare the debo

101
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 3: and Iyuk from a physical stature, but getting it done stature,

102
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: and so they get it done. And so you have

103
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: a Hutchison in a bosa. They just have to me

104
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 3: the look of being a young forty nine ers team now,

105
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 3: will experience catch up to them normally their steps that

106
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 3: a team has to take to get to where they

107
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 3: want to go. And Thellians winning two playoff games, will

108
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 3: they advance to the super Bowl or will it be

109
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 3: a lesson learned? Because it's a step that they have

110
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 3: to take, and so I'm looking forward to both games.

111
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 3: I don't believe the Niners can play as bad as

112
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 3: they played last week, because if they do, it's over.

113
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:27,159
Speaker 3: You let Jamir Gibbs getting an open field like you

114
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 3: was letting Aaron Jones getting open field.

115
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,719
Speaker 2: It's a touchdown. You not catching him from behind.

116
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 3: And so the forty nine ers better shot that run

117
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 3: defense up because If they don't, it's gonna get ugly. Well,

118
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: you think about with the Ravens and the Chiefs, are

119
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: we doing up on game down? On game? No, I'm

120
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 3: not saying who's gonna win. I'm just saying you just

121
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: gave a If they don't do this, it's gonna bad

122
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: for them. So I'm just saying, how do you view

123
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,840
Speaker 3: that in terms of with the Chiefs and with the Ravens.

124
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 3: So for me, we are the leaf game. Okay, So

125
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 3: you know kind and be very careful. Joe Thuni isn't

126
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: playing all pro guard for the Chiefs. That's a big deal.

127
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 3: Playing against this Ravens defense, That's that's a big deal.

128
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: Now Tony just got ruled out as well. The receipt

129
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,800
Speaker 3: that doesn't that don't matter. No, no, no, no, nah,

130
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: that doesn't matter. That might be better for the Chiefs.

131
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: Oh wow. When when you look at the Chiefs offensively,

132
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,960
Speaker 3: they want to get Pacheco going. And it was kind

133
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 3: of disappointing that the Bills couldn't stop the run last week. Like, really,

134
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 3: as much as they struggled to throw the ball all year,

135
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: you're really just gonna let them run the ball whenever

136
00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 3: they want to let that's not happening with the Ravens.

137
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 3: You're not running the ball on the Ravens, and if

138
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 3: they do, it's ball game, Chiefs.

139
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: But I don't see that happening.

140
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: So now you're gonna be forced to throw the ball

141
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280
Speaker 3: something that is been your Achilles hill all year. Now,

142
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice and Travis Kelce, one or both of those

143
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 3: guys are gonna have to have big games.

144
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: That's the only way the Chiefs can win.

145
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 3: You have Mahomes is gonna be Mahomes, but he gotta

146
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 3: he can just throw the ball to himself. Rashie Rice

147
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 3: and Travis Kelsey, one of both of those guys are

148
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 3: going to have to have a huge game. But as

149
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:22,120
Speaker 3: the Chiefs are ruling guys out like Joe Thuni, the

150
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: Ravens are getting guys back like Mark Andrews and Marlin Humphreys.

151
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 2: Then we're not just talking regular starters.

152
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 3: Were talking high level some of the best at your

153
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: position starters, right, and so the Ravens now, when you

154
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: get Andrews back, now that just adds another weapon offensive

155
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,400
Speaker 3: the way Lamar is playing, the way that spoke of

156
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 3: the defense earlier, the number one defense gets one of

157
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 3: the best corners in the game back.

158
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 2: It's gonna be really.

159
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 3: Who makes the mistakes on offense, Which quarterback throws an interception,

160
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 3: which offensive skilled guy mumbles at the wrong time. To me,

161
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 3: it's gonna be that type of game playing in Baltimore.

162
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 3: It's not easy. It's gonna be tough. But Mahame, I mean,

163
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 3: what Mahomes has done in such a short career is unbelievable.

164
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 3: It's crazy that as young as he is, it feels

165
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 3: like he's played forever. It feels like he's played forever

166
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 3: because he's a winner. That's all he does is win.

167
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 3: We get in the playoffs, we win, and we're going

168
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: to Super Bowl. We're gonna MC Champions Game. We're going

169
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: to Super Bowl every year. That's what he does. And

170
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 3: so I'm looking forward to the game. I don't want

171
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 3: nobody to call me. I'm not answering the phone. I'm

172
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:37,920
Speaker 3: not I'm just gonna sit there and watch the game,

173
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:39,359
Speaker 3: no interruptions.

174
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: You know. I'm gonna say this.

175
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Heading into the break that one with San Fran and Detroit,

176
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,680
Speaker 1: I think it's a matchup nightmare for for San Fran.

177
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: I think this is the worst drawl they could have

178
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: gotten to try to get into the Super Bowl that

179
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,160
Speaker 1: out of the NFC, this is the worst matchup for them.

180
00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: And it's strictly purely because of the physicality and the

181
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: belief that this Detroit Lions is bringing into this game.

182
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: And I don't know that the forty nine ers defensive front,

183
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 1: they have not played up to the level that they've

184
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: needed to play, and I don't know that that just

185
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: changes in this game. I feel like that's going to

186
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,079
Speaker 1: be a problem for San Friand and it's for the

187
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 1: Ravens game.

188
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: I think it's that is a and Chiefs.

189
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: I think it's a matchup nightmare for the Chiefs, and

190
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: it's because they're going to have to play eleven on

191
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: eleven on defense. And while Spaggs has done a masterful

192
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 1: job of scheming and putting his guys in the right

193
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: positions and confusing quarterbacks and confusing offensive coordinators, I don't

194
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,320
Speaker 1: see that being the issue this week with the Ravens.

195
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: In fact, they're going to have to figure for how

196
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: they are going to account for Lamar Jackson versus the run.

197
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: They already can run the ball. They have they have

198
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: a deep running backs backfield, and they can throw the

199
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 1: ball and as you mentioned now, he's getting one of

200
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: his main weapons back at the tight ends position.

201
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 2: They're going to be.

202
00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 3: A problem all across the board from outside in. And

203
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 3: by the way, if you're choosing coverage and not run,

204
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 3: Lamar is going to say he's going to sting you.

205
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 3: If you choose run, then he's going to sting you

206
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 3: in the passing game.

207
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 2: I just think that this one I don't see.

208
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 1: I don't see how the Chiefs are going to be

209
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: able to match up well enough. Patrick Mahomes is going

210
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: to have to play his entire brains out, his entire

211
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: brains in order for this Chiefs team to go into Baltimore, which,

212
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 1: by the way, you played there, it's one of the

213
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: most difficult places to play. It's just as bad as

214
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: going to Kansas City and having to play in cans

215
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 1: in the city. It's a very hostile environment for a

216
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: visiting team. It's a tough it's a tough environment to

217
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: play in and it's on the water, by the way.

218
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: So anyway, it's it to me, I think that these

219
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 1: are both matchup.

220
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 3: Hey, levard let me ask you this before we go

221
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 3: to break, who's your top five head coaches in the

222
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,479
Speaker 3: national Football League, just offhand, real quick.

223
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 2: Top five, got Lee, top five, Hardball is one of them.

224
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 3: I'll tell you that Andy Reid is one of them.

225
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 3: I feel like all the coaches that are in this

226
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 3: final four are are in there. So there's the top four.

227
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 3: There's four right there. Campbell, Shanahan. I put him in

228
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 3: that conversation. Tomlin, I put him even though you know

229
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 3: the things he's able to do with what he has

230
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 3: so far. I put Tomlin in that conversation. I'll get that.

231
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,439
Speaker 3: I'll say five right there. But there's probably I'm missing somebody, probably,

232
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 3: But I just bring that up because a lot of

233
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: the times when the top head coaches are named, it's

234
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 3: really crazy that Harball's left off the list a lot.

235
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 3: I put him in there because he's left He's led

236
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 3: it for years, because I mean, you think about everybody's

237
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 3: gonna say prior to you know, the last Coupley Belichick,

238
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 3: Andy Reid, Tomland, those three for sure on the list. Yeah,

239
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: and then it's McVeigh, Shanahan or Lafloor.

240
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 2: I mean, really, I thought the Lafloor is in there.

241
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 3: Harball gets left off the list and that should never happened.

242
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: That shit, ever, happened.

243
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, look at the longevity of success he's had, even

244
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 1: in down years.

245
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 3: His level of ze wins. I think it's because of

246
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 3: the expectation.

247
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 1: It's like Belichick, It's like even like his brother in college, right, like,

248
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 1: once you've shown you can win, I mean, the man

249
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: has a Super Bowl, you know, and and so to me,

250
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: he's he's he's a long he's a long tenured coach. Up,

251
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: He's probably the longest tenured coach at this point. I

252
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: would assume now that Belichick is is out, Like you

253
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: got to look at how long he's been winning at

254
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 1: in Baltimore. So yeah, I would conclude him as one

255
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 1: of the top coaches in the league for certain.

256
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 2: In fact, outside of Dan Campbell, why.

257
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 3: Wouldn't you think about him being the coach of the year,

258
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 3: to be honest, with the job that he's done. I mean,

259
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: there was a lot of uncertainties coming into this season

260
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 3: for the Baltimore Ravens, and the biggest one being if

261
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: somebody is going to try to take Lamar Jackson from.

262
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 2: That team, and yeah, of course.

263
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 3: You're expected to win, so he why would you receive

264
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 3: Coach of the Year You're expected to do this?

265
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 1: So Hey, they do say it's usually coaches that turn

266
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: turn programs around.

267
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 3: I think Harball is a fantastic coach.

268
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: I know.

269
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 3: I played one year for him. I was impressed, very impressed,

270
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 3: and he's only gotten better well, and he showed people

271
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: that he's not afraid to dance either.

272
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: That's TJ. Hoodsman's out. I'm LeVar Rrington. This is up

274
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,360

00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: hear who he was? Well, we're going to tell you

276
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: about it.

277
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 3: It also dovetails into the conversation of why and where

278
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: and how.

279
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,480
Speaker 1: For the coaching goat of goats? Will it take place?

280
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: Will he found a gig? Will it happen?

281
00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:10,640

315
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: posted right after we get off the air.

316
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 2: All right, TJ.

317
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 1: The Falcons, Arthur Blank, everybody talked about how much he

318
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: wanted to hire Bill Belichick. Story surface that maybe people

319
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: in the front office may have felt as though Bill

320
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: Belichick would not be a great fit due to well,

321
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, maybe fundamental differ and how things are going

322
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:06,640
Speaker 1: to be handled. Most likely the most major issue possibly

323
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: being them working for Bill Belichick under Bill Belichick, not

324
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 1: with him, and not as Bill Belichick being a subordinate

325
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,919
Speaker 1: to them. Thus the hiring of Raheem Morris, who has

326
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: a history with the Atlanta Falcons and ends up being

327
00:17:26,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: named the head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. What did

328
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: you make of the higher and of course what does

329
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: that mean for Bill Belichick? These jobs are getting filled up,

330
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: and seemingly that may have been the most job appropriate

331
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: possibility for Bill Belichick. And now you see Bill Belichick

332
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: basically staring down the barrel of possibly not having an opportunity,

333
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: not having a place to coach this upcoming season.

334
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 3: First and foremost, I don't understand how the Falcons was

335
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 3: that was the best spot for Bill Belichick. And I'll

336
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 3: explain why. Number One, who's their quarterback? Bill Belichick? Although

337
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:20,679
Speaker 3: the Falcons have a ton of talented offensive weapons and

338
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: b Jon Robinson, Drake Lundon, Kyle Pitt, so Forth and song,

339
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: the quarterback is a situation since Bill hasn't had Tomber

340
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 3: mac Jones was a pro bowler with Josh McDaniels, and

341
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:37,959
Speaker 3: then he just fell off a cliff. That's Bill Belichick,

342
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: that's his fault. Why would you bring him into Atlanta

343
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 3: with no quarterback? Because whatever quarterback comes in is gonna

344
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,439
Speaker 3: be somewhat young. What's gonna make it any different than

345
00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 3: the mac jones situation. Is he gonna hire Mattnpatrician, Joe

346
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 3: Judge you to be the coordinators? Oh no, what is

347
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 3: he gonna do? And so Bill Belichick needed to be

348
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 3: with a team had an established quarterback that he couldn't

349
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 3: mess with his psyche and take his confidence away.

350
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 2: Because everybody is in Tom Brady.

351
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,320
Speaker 3: You can be rate Tom Brady in a team meeting,

352
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 3: and for Tom Bradys water off of Duck's back, it

353
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: never happened. He gonna get out there and practices as nothing.

354
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 3: You do that to somebody else that may affect him.

355
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,720
Speaker 3: And that's what Bill Belichick does. He criticizes and be

356
00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 3: rates players and team meetings in front of everybody because

357
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 3: Tom was able to take it. Everybody doesn't have that

358
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: mental toughness like Tom Brady, so you can't treat everybody

359
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 3: how you treat it, Tom, and think it's gonna be okay.

360
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 3: The players of today they don't want to play with

361
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,159
Speaker 3: for Bill Belichick. Man, somebody needs to say that they

362
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,719
Speaker 3: don't want to play for Bill Belichick. And that's why

363
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 3: he didn't get a job. That's why he probably won't get.

364
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: Some team after next season will fire a coach and say,

365
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 3: our defense, our offense is fine, we gotta fix our defense.

366
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 3: And that's where he comes into play. Oh, what does

367
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 3: he really come into play? Because he wants to be

368
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 3: in charge of everything. Bill Belichick is the greatest defensive

369
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 3: coach we've seen in the National Football League.

370
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him that credit. But when it comes to.

371
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 3: The offensive side of the ball without twelve under center,

372
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 3: nah can't do it. He's sett in his ways, LeVar.

373
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 3: He wants to control the draft, he wants to control

374
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 3: the personnel. Look at what you've done with the New

375
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 3: England Patriots. You tell me a skilled guy outside of

376
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,160
Speaker 3: Grunk and Tom Brady that's going to the Pro ball

377
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: in New England under Bill Belichick. You can't you tell

378
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 3: me an offensive player that they've drafted in the first

379
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 3: two rounds In the last six, seven, eight drafts that

380
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 3: has received a second contract from the New England Patriots.

381
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: You can't.

382
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: And so is it he's drafting the wrong guys? Or

383
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 3: is it the lack of development of offense? Or is

384
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,240
Speaker 3: it both? And so I don't want that guy as

385
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 3: my coach because this is an offensive league. This is

386
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 3: an offensive league. If you don't score points, you can't win.

387
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 3: And his team's had the hardest time of doing that.

388
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 3: So I don't want Bill Belichick as my head coach

389
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,160
Speaker 3: if he wants to be in control of everything, because

390
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: you've shown your track record has shown offensively you can't

391
00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 3: get it done. Your team just cannot get it done

392
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,680
Speaker 3: year after year after year without mister Brady.

393
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, and.

394
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:51,679
Speaker 1: Looking at Raheem getting getting hired. He is one of

395
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: those guys that players do relate to, has a great personality,

396
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: has a great way about him.

397
00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 2: Guys buy into him.

398
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,119
Speaker 1: He's the type of guy that you'd actually, you know

399
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: how coaches forced you to go hang out at their house,

400
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: like come on over, have a.

401
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 2: Meal, Like you don't mind going to hang it? Right?

402
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: Come on, man, you're not not only not do you

403
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 1: not mine? You hit him up like, Hey, Row, what

404
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:18,159
Speaker 1: you got going on tonight? We're kicking it? Hey, Like,

405
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 1: you look at this Rams team this year, and you

406
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 1: look at this Rams team since he's been the defensive coordinator,

407
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: he's quietly done as master for a job of coaching

408
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 1: a young defense as as anyone else has in the league.

409
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I mean I mentioned Spags and his brilliance earlier and

410
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,600
Speaker 1: what he's been able to do and that defense being

411
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 1: so formidable and actually carrying the Chiefs this season. Well,

412
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: that Rams defense, they carried the Rams this year and

413
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: they did some amazing things.

414
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: Everybody knows Aaron Donald.

415
00:22:54,720 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: But you had Jonah Williams balling, Byron Young, Ernest Jones balling,

416
00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,959
Speaker 1: and coach Turner. Yeah, I mean, you had Fuller in

417
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,600
Speaker 1: the backfield, you had John Johnson the third in the back.

418
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,240
Speaker 2: You had a group.

419
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: This is a young defense that seemingly, I don't know

420
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: if what happens with Raheem leaving now, but it seemed

421
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: to be a defense hitting in the direction where if

422
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: they could hold their offense together and get some guys

423
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: you know, healthy, that they could be right back in

424
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: the mix to going to a super Bowl again. So

425
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: to me, when I look at Raheem Morris, and you

426
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: know him from the character standpoint. He has been a

427
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: head coach, was in a room head coach was in Tampa.

428
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: It didn't end well, but you know, there were a

429
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: lot of conversations as to the debate as to why

430
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 1: that could have been looked at the way that it was.

431
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what in terms.

432
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,439
Speaker 3: Of that relatability and somebody who brings a level of

433
00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 3: energy and young energy, even though he's not super young,

434
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,399
Speaker 3: he's not old, but he brings an energy to this

435
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 3: Atlanta Falcons team, of familiarity to this Falcons team that

436
00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 3: probably will be welcomed and will be.

437
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 1: You know, very very very well received. So good luck

438
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 1: to him. It'll be an interesting conversation continuing.

439
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 3: I don't part what's your thoughts on Belichick said this

440
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 3: during the week, What was your thoughts on him as

441
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 3: of now not being hired. I just think that it

442
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: kind of falls along the lines of what you're saying,

443
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 3: today's today's football player and today's athlete is very different

444
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,199
Speaker 3: than yesterday's and the things that were seemingly working and

445
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 3: not seemingly they worked.

446
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the greatest coach in the NFL in

447
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: the history. Some made debate Lombardi or whatever, but he's

448
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 1: Belichick to me is the greatest coach of all time

449
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

450
00:24:51,320 --> 00:24:55,480
Speaker 2: But the way things are handled, the way you hear things.

451
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: Talked about, the Patriot way and all those different things,

452
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,040
Speaker 1: and the way you.

453
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 3: You're able to beraid a player and this, that and

454
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 3: the other. You can and I want to be very

455
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 3: clear on this. You can beraid a player like you

456
00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:11,159
Speaker 3: could be like what that for you doing? Like of

457
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 3: course fing crazy to be fing doing that F and

458
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 3: s right. You can go out a player the same

459
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: exact way. That's not what the debate is.

460
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: The debate is is you can't be a coach that

461
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: the player perceives as you don't care about me. It's

462
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,440
Speaker 1: not going to ever work. It's just business will never

463
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 1: work again. It will never work ever again. And so

464
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: today's athlete, you have to be able to relate to

465
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: them in a way where they believe in you, they

466
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,679
Speaker 1: trust in you, and most importantly, if you ask me,

467
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 1: they feel that you care.

468
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 2: LeVar.

469
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,400
Speaker 3: This is what will happen, and this is kind of crazy,

470
00:25:53,440 --> 00:25:55,800
Speaker 3: but this is what will happen. The coach will call

471
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 3: said player into the office early in his own office

472
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: on one meeting. I don't like this, this this sense.

473
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: I'm just letting you know this blah blah blah. We

474
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:07,000
Speaker 3: getting this team meeting. I'm gonna call you out on this,

475
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,679
Speaker 3: just so you know. That's what they're gonna have to

476
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,880
Speaker 3: start doing. And it may not be genuine because you've

477
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 3: already warned them.

478
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just got enough to do it. You have

479
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 2: just got to know you care. You gotta know they care.

480
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: I mean you look at McDaniels or McDaniel and and

481
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 1: uh in Miami. Because I'm not just saying some people

482
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: may try to turn this into a conversation of race.

483
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: It's not.

484
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,840
Speaker 1: It's not race, nothing to do with race. Because I

485
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: think one of the dopest to do it is Mike Rabel.

486
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 1: I would go, I would call Mike Rabel up and

487
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 1: and let's go hang. If that's my coach, Mike.

488
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: Rabelayers most relatable dudes you'll you'll ever meet. If the

489
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,159
Speaker 3: players know you care about them, that's you. They'll do

490
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 3: whatever for you. They'll police the locker room, they'll control

491
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 3: the locker room. They're not gonna let anybody get out

492
00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 3: of line. If said player who's the leader on that team. No,

493
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 3: you genuinely care about them and that handle everything. And

494
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 3: that's why Antonio Pierce got the job. That's why Damiko

495
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 3: Ryans and his team performed so well.

496
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: Like there's no other way to explain it. The phenomenon

497
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,400
Speaker 1: of what the Houston Texans did was the fact that

498
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 1: they believe that their coach believed in them and cared

499
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: about them. The phenomenon in Detroit is that Dan Campbell

500
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 1: believes in his guys and believe in what they're able

501
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 1: to do.

502
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 2: And that's why you get the results.

503
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 1: And you cannot say my way or the highway anymore

504
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: without them knowing I genuinely care about you. You can't

505
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 1: say it's this way or no way, or bench a

506
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 1: guy and treat him like he's less than a person,

507
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: because that's.

508
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 2: Just how you do things. That's how we do it

509
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:46,400
Speaker 2: around here.

510
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 1: You'll never see an old school, an old timer coach

511
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: have success over these new school coaches ever again, because

512
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:57,320
Speaker 1: the relationship dynamic is just totally different than what it

513
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: ever was and it's not going to change.

514
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 2: It's not going back.

515
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: These new guys the way, these these younger generations of

516
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: guys are.

517
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 2: It's the way our culture and our society is.

518
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying one is right or wrong, because honestly,

519
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: I grew up in an old school home, a military home,

520
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: and there's something to be said about being able to

521
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: go through a bootcamp and and know that your feelings

522
00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: at the end, right now, it doesn't matter. You know,

523
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: what matters is that you learned as well enough so

524
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: that you don't cause somebody their lives, including yourself.

525
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:29,400
Speaker 2: Right.

526
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,760
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, I knew I

527
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: knew this the way my father raised me, the way

528
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 1: some of the coaches that I had, they they taught me,

529
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: and and that that hard knows hardcore my.

530
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: Way or the highway. I knew in the end, I

531
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 2: knew in the end it was because they cared.

532
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:51,000
Speaker 3: So if it doesn't, if it doesn't equate to them

533
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,840
Speaker 3: caring and it's that old way, it'll never work at

534
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 3: this point.

535
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:55,479
Speaker 2: That's that's my take on it.

536
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,360
Speaker 3: And I think, more so than anything else, the idea

537
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: of people pull in the front office having to deal

538
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 3: with the strong personality and the presence of Bill Belichick

539
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 3: at this age and at this point in his career,

540
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: I don't think that They're looking at it like the

541
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,360
Speaker 3: orange is worth the squeeze.

542
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 2: Is he going to come in.

543
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:18,760
Speaker 3: Here and disrupt the entire culture, in the entire makeup

544
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:22,719
Speaker 3: of our front office for two to three years, four years?

545
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: Is he going to do that? And is it worth it?

546
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:27,960
Speaker 1: And I think that that's is it worth a question?

547
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: I don't believe any any franchise is going to be

548
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,240
Speaker 1: willing to take that chance at this point, at least

549
00:29:35,280 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 1: that's just my take on it.

550
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 2: TJ. I don't know.

551
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: We'll see what it is, but what we do need

552
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 1: to know, and what I do know is that Isaac Lohenkron,

553
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,680
Speaker 1: he's the best in the business at what it is

554
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,720
Speaker 1: that he does, and we're going to go to him

555
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:48,760
Speaker 1: for an update right now.

556
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: What you got, Hi, Lou.

557
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 6: LaVar got some fresh NFL news. The Kansas City Chiefs

558
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 6: today ruled out receiver Kadarius Tony for tomorrow's AFC Championship

559
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 6: game at Baltimore due to both with a hip injury

560
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 6: as well as because of personal reasons. NFL media reports

561
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 6: the Chicago Bear is hiring Buffalo Bill's defensive line coach

562
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:11,920
Speaker 6: Eric Washington as their new defensive coordinator. In the NBA

563
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 6: On Friday night, Luka Doncicch of the Dallas Mavericks scored

564
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 6: seventy three points at a one forty eight one forty

565
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 6: three win at Atlanta Tyme, Wilt Chamberlain and David Thompson

566
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 6: for the fourth highest scoring game in NBA history. Also

567
00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 6: Friday night, Devin Booker of the Phoenix Suns scored sixty

568
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 6: two points at a one to thirty three one thirty

569
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 6: one loss in Indiana. It's the fifth time in NBA

570
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 6: history the two players have scored sixty plus points on

571
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:47,040
Speaker 6: the same day. Two of those five happened this week.

572
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: On Monday, Joel Embiid scored seventy while Carl Anthony Towns

573
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 6: had a sixty two point game. So the paraphrase Casey Sengle,

574
00:30:55,760 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 6: can't anybody here play defense? Finally, in college football, here's

575
00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 6: how new Michigan head coach Sharon Moore concluded is introductory

576
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,720
Speaker 6: news conference a short time ago.

577

606
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:40,840
Speaker 3: man and good dudes.

607
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: Welcome back. In this is up on game. We are

608
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 1: live from the tyrack dot Com studio. TJ Sharon Moore

609
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,320
Speaker 1: is named the head coach of the Wolverine Jim Harbaugh.

610
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: He leaves for the LA Chargers. A lot to unload

611
00:32:56,160 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: here in a small amount of time. But give it

612
00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: your best. What what your take on it? Was it

613
00:33:01,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: the right decision by Harball? Is it the right decision

614
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,000
Speaker 1: by Michigan? For Harball was a no brainer. You know,

615
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: you have unfinished business in the National Football League. You

616
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:15,760
Speaker 1: go to a team that they're there, they just need

617
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 1: that leadership at the top. I believe Harball will bring that.

618
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,680
Speaker 1: You had a quarterback.

619
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 3: The thing is, you got to go against one of

620
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 3: the best coaches to ever coach in the National Football

621
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 3: League and Andy Reid and one of the greater quarterbacks

622
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:31,360
Speaker 3: and our greatest quarterbacks in Patrick Mahones. So just in

623
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 3: your division. So that's not going to be an easy task.

624
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 3: But I believe Harball and the Chargers will be up

625
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:41,600
Speaker 3: for it. Now you talk Michigan, I mean it's hard

626
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:45,560
Speaker 3: to argue with them naming more the head coach. He

627
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,120
Speaker 3: went four and oh, when Harball was suspended, and you

628
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: beat Penn State, you're Ahma mater. And you beat Ohio State, Man,

629
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 3: get out of here with it.

630
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: So when you beat those two teams when Harball suspended.

631
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 3: They was cheating. See that, that's what the losers says.

632
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 3: That's what they always say, Man, you were cheating. And

633
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:11,719
Speaker 3: so he's he's worked his way up the letter. I mean,

634
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 3: you had Central Michigan, you had Louisville. You go from

635
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 3: tight ends coach on line coach, officeive coordinator. And so

636
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 3: he's kind of worked him himself up that ladder Sean

637
00:34:22,920 --> 00:34:26,280
Speaker 3: Moore and so yeah, you can't argue with did Michigan

638
00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 3: hire or not hire the right guy? As long as

639
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 3: they can keep recruiting at the level that they're recruiting at,

640
00:34:31,280 --> 00:34:34,440
Speaker 3: they'll continue to be successful. He's shown he can win

641
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:37,880
Speaker 3: big games, and so that's all you want. Can you

642
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,040
Speaker 3: beat Ohio s date, can you beat the Penn States?

643
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,399
Speaker 3: But the Big ten is gonna get a lot harder. Now,

644
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 3: I just got to say this, let's getting a lot

645
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 3: I'm with you there, but it's still that was still

646
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,160
Speaker 3: Harrorball's team, and that was still Horrball's.

647
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 1: Way, and it was still his influence and it was

648
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: his deal. Now I saw Ryan Day take over for

649
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: Urban Meyer and continue to win. There's a chance that

650
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: Sharon can win, and I can dig it and listen,

651
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: he came in with a lot of excitement.

652
00:35:06,080 --> 00:35:10,759
Speaker 2: You know, he had some words and it just it

653
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 2: is what it is.

654
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,640
Speaker 1: I just think that we'll find out what the market

655
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: is saying by because here's the thing at this moment,

656
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:22,279
Speaker 1: because they they the transfer portal is closed. If kids

657
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: kids have I think thirty days to enter the portal

658
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:26,479
Speaker 1: and leave because the coach is leaving.

659
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 3: I think it also opens up in the spring. Also,

660
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,920
Speaker 3: that was just the early transfer. I think they can

661
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 3: also transfer.

662
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 1: Michigan can't get out of the that can't get portal

663
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:41,960
Speaker 1: kids right now. The portal was closed, so so basically

664
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: the kids can leave, but Michigan can't replenish that until

665
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 1: the spring. Right So, if you think about it, the

666
00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 1: market is going to have the opportunity to speak on

667
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 1: Sharon Moore and on Harball leaving at Michigan.

668
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 3: Now, what that looks like coming in the next season,

669
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,480
Speaker 3: I don't know. But what I will say, as it

670
00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:08,040
Speaker 3: applies to Harball, you can't sit there and attack a

671
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 3: man and keep going out of man the way that

672
00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 3: whoever it was, I don't know who the catalyst was.

673
00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was Michigan AD. I don't

674
00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 3: know if it was NCAA. I don't know if it

675
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 3: was a Big Ten. I don't know if it was

676
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:21,880
Speaker 3: a collaborative effort that took place.

677
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:22,400
Speaker 2: I don't know.

678
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,799
Speaker 3: What I do know is is that if I'm Jim

679
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,560
Speaker 3: Harball and I'm bringing the type of value to this school,

680
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 3: to all of those entities, to the Big Ten, to

681
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 3: the NCAAA, and oh, by the way, you could kiss

682
00:36:34,480 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 3: my ass because I won the entire thing. Y'all came

683
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:40,719
Speaker 3: at me. I missed six games because of whoever it is.

684
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,200
Speaker 3: Y'all are coming after me the way that y'a are,

685
00:36:44,120 --> 00:36:46,000
Speaker 3: and we still won it all. And you know what

686
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: for that, I'm not coming back. I'm not gonna make

687
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 3: y'all more money. I'm not going to sit here and

688
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 3: play that game with y'all. I'm gonna go to the

689
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 3: league and I'm gonna go do what I do in

690
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 3: the league. And so to me, I felt like Jim

691
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,840
Speaker 3: gave the the NCAA, and.

692
00:37:01,960 --> 00:37:05,040
Speaker 1: If it weren't, if it was someone from Michigan, he

693
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 1: gave that person from Michigan a big middle.

694
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,720
Speaker 3: Finger on his way out. And that's how I should

695
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 3: have supported him. Michigan. I felt should have supported him more.

696
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:18,439
Speaker 3: When the Big Ten suspended him and they didn't follow

697
00:37:18,480 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 3: their own due processing, their own rules and bodylaws, it

698
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,279
Speaker 3: was like wow.

699
00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 2: And so for me, less rules and regulations.

700
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 3: In the National Football League, you gotta draft players have

701
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 3: you got to develop players, And so for Harball, I

702
00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: felt it was a no brainer. I felt it was

703
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 3: a lack of support at times from the University of

704
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 3: Michigan when it came to Harball, and so when things

705
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 3: relate to HARP, I just felt like the lack of support,

706
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:47,839
Speaker 3: complete backing wasn't there.

707
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:50,359
Speaker 2: And so now you go to the National Football League,

708
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 2: where you draft players, you develop players, and you put

709
00:37:54,640 --> 00:37:57,120
Speaker 2: a game plan together and let's go. You know, college

710
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 2: football is if you get the best players, the majority

711
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:02,160
Speaker 2: of time, you're gonna win. Let's go recruit the best players.

712
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 2: Let's get all the best players that we can and

713
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:09,759
Speaker 2: will probably win. National Football League is a little bit different. Yeah, yeah,

714
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:13,080
Speaker 2: I think it's a great move for Harball. I think

715
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:17,960
Speaker 2: it's a great move for the Chargers. I said this.

716
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,720
Speaker 2: You might disagree. I think it made it more relevant.

717
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: I think it makes football more relevant in the state

718
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: of California and Los Angeles.

719
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 3: Man, it's about to be through Hardball, Andy Reid, Chanpagne

720
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 3: and ap in the same division. Yeah, man, that is

721
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:38,800
Speaker 3: gonna be crazy football. That's eight games, yeah, like and

722
00:38:39,000 --> 00:38:42,759
Speaker 3: so just that perspective along. But I'm looking forward to it.

723
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 3: You you have one of the best quarterbacks single league.

724
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,479
Speaker 3: You have a receiver that you know you can get open.

725
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 3: Defense is good, need some pieces, but the Chargers aren't

726
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,799
Speaker 3: far off. It will probably take a year or two,

727
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: but once they get rolling, they gonna be rolling downhill.

728
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 2: Because this is what Hardball does. This is him. He wins.

729
00:39:04,719 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: We're gonna see how it all turns out. We'll be

730
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:08,960
Speaker 3: here to talk about it our two.

731
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,880
Speaker 1: It's coming up NFL Championship Game weekend. We're gonna reset that,

732
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna rewind it. We're gonna talk about that. We

733
00:39:15,200 --> 00:39:18,320
Speaker 1: got some other things to discuss as well, especially with

734
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 1: these coaches.

735
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 2: And Damar Hamlin. You'll want to hear about that.

736
00:39:21,719 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 1: We got awards coming up, and we'll do up on

737
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 1: Game Down, on Game Up on game Fox Sports Radio.

738
00:39:27,840 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 2: We'll be right back
