Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio.

8
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Well, it took some by surprise last week when the

9
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Broncos at home got dragged by Jacksonville. Mark Slarath covers

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 1: that team as well as anybody been doing Radio Garry

11
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: Popular showing Denver for a long time. You know we

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: said this is that I knew what Sean Peyton was

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: saying in regarding to small market team. It was just

14
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: like they don't get a lot of attention. Like if

15
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: you're in Chicago and you're bad, you get more attention

16
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: than in Jacksonville when you're good. Shawn stepped in it

17
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: a few times. Did you make anything of those comments

18
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: that apparently got Jacksonville all riled up?

19
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 3: No, I mean you know it was.

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 4: It was honest and and you know, I mean Liam

21
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 4: Collins a lot like Sean, I mean, he's a snarky

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: takes it personal, vindictive, you know, probably a very gracious loser,

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 4: but an absolute jerk when it comes to winning. And

24
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: you know, I resonate with that. That's exactly how I'm

25
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: wired as well. So yeah, I think that that's perfect.

26
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 4: And Liam Cohen took an exception to it, and you know,

27
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 4: put it on his entire team, and good for them.

28
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 3: They came out here and handled their business. You know.

29
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 4: And I'm probably uniquely qualified to comment on this call

30
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: him because you know, I was on a Redskins team

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 4: that won eleven Strader was on the Broncos team that

32
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 4: won thirteenth straight. And one of the things that happens

33
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 4: when you've got a winning streak like that. There's two

34
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 4: things really that happened. One is all those little things

35
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: that you end up overcoming.

36
00:01:58,920 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 3: In a win.

37
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 4: You know, Hey, man, guys, we can't have a holding

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 4: call here. That's going to cost us a game eventually.

39
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: Hey guys, this PI penalty, Hey, this procedural, this operational issue.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 4: We lined up in the wrong formation, Eventually, that's going

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 4: to get us. Hey guys, misstackles like you miss a tackle, eventually,

42
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 4: that's gonna get a This busted coverage and all those

43
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: things that kind of gets swept.

44
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: Under the rug.

45
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, yeah, but we won, you know, so

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 4: you're right, you know, we can't have that holding call there.

47
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 4: All those things eventually come to fruition in a game

48
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: like that, and that's what cost you a game. They

49
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: probably had about one hundred yards of real estate in

50
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: mistackles alone in that game, the Broncos giving up.

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 3: So those are the things that cost you a game,

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 3: and it's an opportunity to refocus.

53
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: The other thing that happens calling is your locker room

54
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: clears out when you go on a run like this.

55
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 3: Man, it is one of the most annoying things because.

56
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: Every week more and more national media, more and more

57
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 4: people want your time. They starve for your attention, and

58
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 4: eventually you walk into locker room and there's more reporters

59
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 4: and more national media in that locker room than there

60
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 4: are players. And then it gets you out of your routine.

61
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: You got to go hide in the training room, or

62
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: hide in the weight room, or hide somewhere else in

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 4: the facility, and it takes you out of your routine.

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 4: So now the Broncos will get their locker room back,

65
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 4: there will be less attention focused upon them.

66
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 3: And that's a good thing.

67
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: But that's kind of one of the things that happens

68
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: too that people don't really realize. When you go on

69
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: a wind streak like that, you just kind of lose

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 4: your facility and it drives you crazy as a player.

71
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: So there's a story. Mike Preston, a respected reporter in Baltimore,

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: and I have said for years, a story gets out

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: when somebody wants it out. There's plenty of secrets in

74
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: this league that are hidden forever or thirty years. So

75
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: you know, Harbaugh's getting some heat, the Ravens are getting

76
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: some heat. Suddenly a story leaks out today, a lot

77
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: of details. Lamar Jackson falling asleep in meetings, does not

78
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: take criticism well, late Night Video Games, doesn't want to

79
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: practice in the morning. And for the record, hyper athletic

80
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,640
Speaker 1: going to be twenty nine last year. Injuries that piled ups,

81
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: you know, six or seven different injuries last couple of years.

82
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: You know, Mark, I always had a feeling you played

83
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 1: with one of these guys. There's always about five or

84
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: six players quarterbacks in the league at any one time.

85
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: That's it that if you're a GM, you don't even

86
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: take a phone call. John lway. You know, marine you

87
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: don't dig a phone. Then there's another seven or eight

88
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: you wouldn't make a call, but you may take one.

89
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: And then there's fifteen guys. You initiate the call. You're

90
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 1: trying to outgrade a quarterback you had lway, you don't

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 1: even answer the phone. I said today, I think Lamar

92
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 1: with his story, has gone from the first group to

93
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: the second group, where maybe you do make a you

94
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 1: take a call from the Miami Dolphins of the Raiders.

95
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 1: I mean, that's how serious I think the story is.

96
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:01,279
Speaker 1: Am I old little hyper here on that hyperbolic I

97
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: don't know.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 4: I don't think so. I mean, I think you look

99
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 4: at you look at your franchise. You look at how

100
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: you guys have won, how you guys have lost, how

101
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: like all the things that have gone on in that situation.

102
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 4: I think one of those things that you always constantly

103
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: think about is what's next for us? And you know

104
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 4: what wins intoday's game? And can we continue to go

105
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 4: down this road with a quarterback that's going to be thirty,

106
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: using him his legs, his athleticism on the edge to

107
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 4: attack defenses.

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: Eventually, at some point.

109
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 4: He's no longer going to be able to do that

110
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,840
Speaker 4: or stay healthy while doing that, and then are we

111
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 4: are we strapped and hamstrum by that salary. So if

112
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: you've got an opportunity and you think, hey man, it's

113
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 4: coming to an end, then you've got to be able

114
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 4: to make a decision. And sometimes you have to, let

115
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 4: you know, really good players leave a year or two

116
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: early just to maintain and manage your manage your you know,

117
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 4: your franchise. I think one of the things, you know,

118
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 4: it was interesting when I first started working for five Bucks.

119
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 4: I had a game after the San Francisco forty nine

120
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 4: ers traded for Jimmy Garoppolo, and it was one of

121
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 4: the first games that Jimmy Garoppolo played for the forty nine.

122
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: Ers, And so he walks into the meeting room.

123
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 4: The first question I fire off right off the bat,

124
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 4: before you've ever introduced myself, is handsome off you Brady go?

125
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Who wins?

126
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 4: And he went handsome he went, I went to handsome

127
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: off right there, which I was a little suspect about

128
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: because Brady is incredibly beautiful. But that said, the second

129
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 4: question I asked him, Colin was what did Brady teach

130
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 4: you about playing professional football? And he said that playing

131
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 4: quarterback is not a job. It is a lifestyle, and

132
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: you have to adhere to the lifestyle. You got to

133
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 4: be the first guy in, the last guy out. You've

134
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 4: got to deflect all the praise when you win, You've

135
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: got to accept all the blame when you lose. Like

136
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 4: it is a lifestyle to play quarterback at a high

137
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: level in this league. And if you're not getting that

138
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: out of him, based upon that story, and you look

139
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 4: at the end injuries that pile up, you look at

140
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: the age, you look at the dynamic nature he is

141
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: as an athlete, and you say, how much longer can

142
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 4: we play this way? And if you can get you know,

143
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 4: multiple first rounders, if you want to change the way

144
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: your organization is structured, then certainly you take those phone

145
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 4: calls and you listen.

146
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: Okay, So the Bears keep winning these games late. They

147
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: play the Niners this week. By the way, Niners two

148
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: days less to prepare because they played Monday night. McCaffrey

149
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: had twenty seven carries. They're oh to four the week

150
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: after he has at least twenty seven touches. So I

151
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: thought they used him too much. I thought there were

152
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: too many carries. I wouldn't have played him in the

153
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: fourth blah blah blah. But Jay Mack and I have

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: talked about this. I don't think it's luck when you

155
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: win games. Late Denver had this. I think there's a belief.

156
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: I think what happens in big situations. Sometimes teams get tight,

157
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 1: there's a little anxiety, and I think the more you win,

158
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 1: it flips and teams are like, oh, I love this.

159
00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: This is what we do New England with Brady through

160
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: the years. They just so my thing is like recovering

161
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: me on sidekick is a little bit of a break.

162
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 1: But they had a great defensive stand. They had two

163
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 1: good offensive runs. What do you make of how the

164
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: Bears are winning? Yeah, it's been incredible.

165
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 4: One their control line of forms are running the ball

166
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: and that always takes the pressure off of you.

167
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: But I think the thing as I watched the Bears,

168
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,119
Speaker 3: that just blows me away.

169
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: Like I knew when.

170
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: People talked about Caleb Williams being a generational talent, you know,

171
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 4: I knew that he was athletic, but I don't think

172
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 4: I knew how athletics he was until I watched him play.

173
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: When things break down, his ability to manipulate the pocket.

174
00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 4: His ability to extend and keep plays a lot, and

175
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 4: then his arm talent is supreme.

176
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 3: Now is he is he a final product yet?

177
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 4: Is he a finished product where he can operate from

178
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 4: the pocket and he can do the boring well, No,

179
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 4: he can't. That's not his forte as of yet. That

180
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 4: will continue to grow like it does with all young quarterbacks.

181
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 4: But his ability to be off schedule and do special

182
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 4: things off schedule is amazing. And I think the other

183
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 4: thing that ends up happening to young quarterbacks who come

184
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 4: from college right and are used to playing a little

185
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 4: bit more off schedule football is that when you get

186
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 4: behind all of a sudden, when you are in up tempo,

187
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 4: no huddle football, it is more off schedule instead of

188
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,559
Speaker 4: being what I always call seventy to thirty to win

189
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 4: in this league is seventy percent of time you just

190
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,199
Speaker 4: got to be on schedule. You've got to do the

191
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 4: boring well, thirty percent of time things break down. Well,

192
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 4: that's not where he's best. He's best at more fifty

193
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,679
Speaker 4: to fifty ball, right, And I think that's one of

194
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 4: the things that happens is you get into these no

195
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 4: huddle situations, the uptempo things. It limits and shrinks your playbook,

196
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: the plays you're going to call, so you're a little

197
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: bit more familiar, a little bit you have a little

198
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 4: bit better feel for those plays. And then it allows

199
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 4: you to do what you do best, and that's to

200
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 4: be an athlete. And I think that's why we see

201
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 4: the Bears making these dramatic comebacks. And that game, what

202
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,559
Speaker 4: was it Saturday night against Green Bay was absolutely phenomenal.

203
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: What an unreal finish to that game.

204
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: Okay, they're not a high profile team, but you had

205
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 1: the Bucks and the Panthers last week and I thought

206
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: Bryce Young out played Baker. If you're the GM, if

207
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: you're Dan Morgan to Carolina, sharp guy, you give him

208
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,440
Speaker 1: that fifth year option? What do you make of Bryce Young?

209
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 5: Yeah?

210
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,079
Speaker 4: I would bring him back on that fifth year. I

211
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 4: wouldn't sign him to a long term deal. You know,

212
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: I might make him go prove it to me again

213
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 4: next year and then maybe franchise him. You've got those

214
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 4: things ate your disposal. But the bottom line I've done

215
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 4: a lot of Carolina games, Colin is do I think

216
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: Bryce Young is a franchise quarterback?

217
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 6: No?

218
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 3: I don't. But has he improved every year?

219
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 5: Yeah?

220
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,319
Speaker 4: But you know, you look at his improvement, he went

221
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 4: from just under sixty percent to sixty one percent. He's

222
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,439
Speaker 4: completing sixty three percent of the balls right now. But

223
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: I've always felt like if they don't run the ball well,

224
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 4: then he's not going to lift that team up and

225
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 4: carry them to a victory. And he kind of did

226
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 4: that against Tampa Bay. Twelve seconds left in the second half,

227
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 4: man they bring zero blitz, which is you know, a

228
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: Tampa Bay Todd bulls stable, and he hits ceaal mcmillann

229
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: for a big touchdown down the left hand sideline, and

230
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 4: then all of a sudden, the last drive, he gets

231
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 4: another blitz, hits Jalen Poker down the right hand sideline

232
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,559
Speaker 4: for a big forty yard game and they kicked the

233
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: game winning field goal and their defense gets to stop.

234
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 4: So like, he just keeps improving and essentially keeps proving

235
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:39,120
Speaker 4: people wrong. And I tell you what, operationally, he's big.

236
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,319
Speaker 4: He's just not a big you know, he's just not

237
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: a big, strapping physical guy. So I think there's some

238
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 4: limitations in the pockets and in the pocket and all

239
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 4: those things that make you question whether he could be

240
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: kind of about franchise quarterback moving forward.

241
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love what you said about Brady and the Garoppolo.

242
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: Quarterback is a lifestyle that is really a fascinating quote

243
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:03,959
Speaker 1: and it's Mark Schlareth. Love seeing you. Marry Christmas to

244
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 1: your amazing family, my friend and all your kids and

245
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: all your relatives. Great dad, You're one of the good

246
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: guys in the business. I'm very happy for all your success.

247
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas.

248
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 3: I appreciate it.

249
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: Call Merry Christmas to you and yours as well. Love you, brother,

250
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: and we'll talk to you soon.

251
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:19,560
Speaker 7: Yep.

252
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: He worked at the other place in this place and

253
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,959
Speaker 1: just a great teammate and he just keeps crushing. Yeah,

254
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: I mean it really is. That's the thing about Kyler Murray.

255
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: The criticism was, you know, I always said this is that,

256
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: like I was talking about Pro Bowl quarterbacks and leadership,

257
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: Jay Cutler had Pro Bowl quarterback. He could have been

258
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: a six time Pro Bowler. I didn't think he was

259
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: a great leader. I didn't think he galvanized guys. There's

260
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: a lot of different things that go in to quarterback,

261
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: and one of them is are you kind of obsessed

262
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: with it? Jay Glazer talks about this, are you obsessed

263
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 1: with the sport. No, okay, okay, I need guys that

264
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 1: are especially at certain positions.

265

Speaker 1: Yee Jmack with the news.

286
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: On the news.

287
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: This is the Herdline news er.

288
00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,079
Speaker 7: Let's revisit this Baltimore Suns story on Lamar Jackson. It

289
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 7: is gonna be the story Gajure this NFL offseason. Some

290
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 7: of the quotes from the article in the Baltimore Sun.

291
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 7: A major problem, a lot of it on the Ravens

292
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 7: is that there are team rules and then there are.

293
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 8: Rules for Jackson.

294
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 7: Once the Ravens become critical of Jackson, he becomes more withdrawn.

295
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 7: It's clear that coach John Harbaugh has become tired of Jackson. Now,

296
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 7: don't make this a shoot the messenger. Okay, everybody's been

297
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 7: able to see this has been building up all season.

298
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 7: We know two years ago when Lamar got the extension,

299
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 7: it was very contagious.

300
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 8: I'm not contagious. It was contentious. I'm sorry those two.

301
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: Were going at it.

302
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 7: Remember he wanted the Deshaun Watson fully guaranteed, and they're like,

303
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 7: we're not doing that. He got a very lucrative deal,

304
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 7: Colin It spikes this offseason, twenty.

305
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 8: Four percent of the cap is what Lamar will chew out.

306
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: Is that is brutal.

307
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 3: I mean, he's earned it.

308
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 8: He's a two time MVP.

309
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:46,720
Speaker 2: I get that.

310
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 8: But at the same time, you.

311
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 7: Can't build a roster around there's no path to fixing

312
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 7: the offensive line. Magically, there's questions about Derrick Henry. The

313
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 7: defense was pretty toothless. I mean, you watched Drake maygo

314
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 7: up and down the field and their most pivot game

315
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 7: of the season.

316
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 8: There was like they couldn't stop Drake Bay. I don't know, man,

317
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 8: this is gonna be fascinating.

318
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think when you know, when stuff leaks

319
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: from legitimate reporters, this is somebody that covers the team.

320
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: When you cover a team and you have to face

321
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: the music and face the athletes you criticize, it's not easy.

322
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: That's why a lot of local reporters, a lot of

323
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: them don't have the courage. They have to walk into

324
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: that locker room every day. It's easy for me. I'm

325
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: not in the locker rooms, right, so to report this stuff,

326
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: it's got to be buttoned up and right. Yeah, yell

327
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 1: on screen, but it's got to be buttoned up.

328
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 7: I was at the combine back when I was with

329
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,480
Speaker 7: the website, the big lead, and somebody smart I was like, oh,

330
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 7: is there a rebuild coming? They're like, remember, the best

331
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 7: time to rebuild is last year. Okay, Ravens fans can

332
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 7: talk themselves into maybe, hey, Lamar comes back, he's healthy.

333
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 7: You know, we got this next year and then we

334
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,040
Speaker 7: could talk about no no, no, no no. Then he's

335
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 7: going to be thirty. You know the injury history, Colin,

336
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 7: I think they got to make a move this offseason.

337
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: Well, I think you definitely take calls. You know what

338
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: if you're Miami. Let's say you're Miami or the Raiders

339
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: now and now both are paying two and Gino, so

340
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 1: Paul are paying a quarterback. So if you're paying Lamar

341
00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: and a quarterback and you're giving up draft capital, it

342
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: is a huge, huge swing. Ideally, my take is there's

343
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: somebody else who is a team in the NFL, but's

344
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 1: that needs juice at quarterback. It has cap space next year.

345
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: Now me start looking at it. Find a team that

346
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: you're like, man, because with Gino and Tua, can you

347
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: pay that and Lamar Jackson that's tough. So find a team.

348
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 8: Well, the Raiders are the one that make the most sense.

349
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 8: They're going to have a top three pick, maybe number one.

350
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 7: And then you've got the decision do you want to

351
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 7: start something with Mendoza in the desert or do you

352
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 7: want to bring in Lamar and hey we make the

353
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 7: jump insta.

354
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: I would do Mendoza.

355
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 7: Well, the problem with that is how long is it

356
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 7: going to take you guys to overtake the Chargers, Broncos

357
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 7: and Chiefs. Well, now with Lamar instantly, you're competitive, right.

358
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 7: The problem is like, well, brock Bowers and Lamar is

359
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:10,920
Speaker 7: a good combo. Ashton gent.

360
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 8: You know you've got a couple pieces. Colton Miller should

361
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 8: return this week. The left tackle.

362
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 1: The Miami the Miami Dolphins piece is really interesting.

363
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: But what do you do?

364
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 7: Nobody where you gonna find a taker for Tua? Are

365
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 7: you gonna dump him in then take the cap hit.

366
00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:30,920
Speaker 7: I don't think you could build a team taking the

367
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 7: to a.

368
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: Dead cap money, and I mean bringing on the Baltimore

369
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: may have to swallow some of the Lamar deal, but

370
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: if they draft the quarterback again. Denver swallowed a ton

371
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 1: of Russell Wilson cap hit, but bo Nicks was free,

372
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: so they could deal with. If you nail the quarterback

373
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: in the draft, then it's fine. If you have to

374
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: pay some of half of Lamar's contract, so it's like

375
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: twelve percent of your caphit, you're like, yikes, but you

376
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 1: draft somebody in the twentieth place, Ty Simpson from Bama.

377
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:01,120
Speaker 1: He starts and you're not paying him anything for four years.

378
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 1: So Denver got through it by drafting well and getting

379
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 1: a star quarterback or high end quarterback. There's ways a

380
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 1: lot of this cap you can you can mark, you

381
00:18:10,119 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 1: can manipulate your way around it, and it really helps

382
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 1: if you have a great draft.

383
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 7: I mean, Arizona Cardinals could be interesting. He doesn't want

384
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 7: to play there though, Well we don't know that yet.

385
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 7: I mean, Arizona's a great, very good tax estate. You're

386
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 7: big on the taxes. Save some money there, warm Weather.

387
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 1: I mean Vegas is zero and Miami's zero state tac

388
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:35,840
Speaker 1: That's that's better than as I think Arizona is six

389
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: percent or something like that.

390
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 8: Man, all right, let's move on.

391
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 7: Actually, let's go to the Raiders colin interesting game this

392
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 7: weekend against the Giants. They're calling it the toilet Bowl

393
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 7: Giants Raiders. Its opposite Packers, and I'm sorry not Packers.

394
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 7: It's opposite Eagles Bills, which is the game of the week.

395
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 7: But there is an interesting angle here. It's basically for

396
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 7: the number one pick, and everybody's talking about tanking this weekend. Hey,

397
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 7: don't mention that to Max Crosby. He does not care.

398
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't get about the Pig. To be honest,

399
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 6: I don't play for that. I don't That's not my job.

400
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: My job is be the best defensive end in the

401
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 6: world and that's what I focus on every day, and

402
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 6: being a great leader and being an influence and being

403
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: a you know, being that guy on a consistent basis

404
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 6: for my team.

405
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: I love that guy. By the way, Arizona state tax

406
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: two and a half percent in my bed. Don't drive

407
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: off the road if you're in Scottsdale. I love Max

408
00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: Crosby so much.

409
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 8: Who you got in this one?

410
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 6: Colin?

411
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: Probably the Giants.

412
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 8: So I haven't bet on the Raiders.

413
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 7: I don't think all season that's not This might be

414
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 7: the spot, Okay, I don't know.

415
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 1: I mean there's not a lot, so I try not

416
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 1: to bet on games I don't want to watch because

417
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: it's just I have to sit there last week and

418
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: watch the Vikings Giants for three and a half hours.

419
00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 3: Oh it was.

420
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: I literally called the Dennis and said, can you get

421
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 1: me in on a Sunday? I'd rather do that brutal.

422
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 7: We'll see call the Colton Miller get back is big.

423
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 7: I think the Raiders are trying. We watch them against

424
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 7: the Texans. Oh, I don't think the Giants are any good.

425
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 7: And by the way, this one set up the Giants

426
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:17,680
Speaker 7: with the number one pick. And then remember the Giants

427
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 7: fan base loves Jackson Dart.

428
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,520
Speaker 8: They're all in on him. He's a cool guy. Colin.

429
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,360
Speaker 7: Remember the GMA. That's a guy I saw my job

430
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 7: and it sets up like do you what do you

431
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 7: do with Dart? Mendoza fun story out of New York.

432
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 7: He can always find good angles in the NFL. All right,

433
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 7: let's wrap up before Christmas with this one, Colin, we're

434
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 7: giving you a nice little present here. With Aaron Rodgers,

435
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 7: I've been very critical of Rogers. He's delivered and this

436
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,080
Speaker 7: play that he did against the Lions right before the half,

437
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 7: the touchdown bomb to Kenneth Gainwell.

438
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 8: Listen to the audio.

439
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 7: It's pretty Awesome's side this side, flat to the right,

440
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 7: watching all the way out, run to go all out.

441
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: Roger's office. Back foot throws it down the way and

442
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: look at dating Well he thinks he has a touchdown.

443
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: He got him, He got him, he got it.

444
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 7: And display was spectacular. Sorry, if your Aaron, just go

445
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 7: out there and run a run a go route. He

446
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 7: basically test said, this is what we're doing and how

447
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 7: did the Lions still let it happen? And again, I've

448
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 7: never played linebacker in the NFL, but if I hear

449
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 7: that it's the end of the half, it's like.

450
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: Well, you're in a loud stadium. You're in a loud

451
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 1: stadium sometimes. And by the way, now I have to

452
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: communicate it as a mic linebacker out to the corner

453
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,440
Speaker 1: and the ball snap. So Aaron's like, do a go route?

454
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: Do a go on hike? Boom? How much time do

455
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 1: you have the track? Hey, left corner, He's gonna run

456
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 1: a go route. So Aaron says it. And the way

457
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,119
Speaker 1: he said it was werena go route, go to a

458
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: go route.

459
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 3: Boom.

460
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:58,800
Speaker 7: That was a huge play. They gave up a touchdown

461
00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 7: there late. I mean, that was just devastating.

462
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 8: I'll add this.

463
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 7: Kenneth Gainwall has been freaking awesome. Oh yeah for the

464
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 7: Pittsburgh Steelers, and you know the Eagles had him. And

465
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 7: once the quarterback gets paid, the Jalen hurts you, Hey,

466
00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 7: we've got to prepare for this. We don't want to

467
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 7: lose on the old line running back Depp goodbye, and

468
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 7: now you lose Gamewell and ten things. He's good, but

469
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 7: they had to trade for him.

470
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 8: Remember, because Will Shipley was the backup.

471
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,879
Speaker 7: He gets hurt and so again, these quarterback salaries really

472
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 7: ding depth and it's been a huge.

473
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 8: Get for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nice job by the GM there.

474
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:32,880

Speaker 1: I'm all fired up for Jeff Schwartz our love of

Speaker 1: college football. Okay, so I get a lot of heat.

486
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: Let's bring in Jeff Schwartz, Fox Sports analysts, former NFL

487
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 1: offensive lineman Oregon Duck. So I said, I still can't

488
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: believe that USC fans are okay with Notre Dame having

489
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: a side deal with a tournament, Notre Dame being a

490
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 1: partial member of a conference, Notre Dame being able to

491
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: manipulate byes before their game with the USC. Much easier

492
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: when you're a partial member of a conference with a

493
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,800
Speaker 1: much weaker schedule. And USC fans are like, sure, yeah,

494
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 1: we'll play it whenever you want. I'm like USC fans,

495
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: you actually me, it's unbelievable. The USC fans are just

496
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: like giving Notre Dame side deals, will play whenever. But

497
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong on that. How do you see it?

498
00:23:58,320 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 5: Okay, all those things are true.

499
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:02,680
Speaker 9: Memorandum of understanding is bad, Like I can't believe that

500
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 9: people signed that the not Dad gets to be in

501
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:05,920
Speaker 9: if they're top twelve team. All the things are true,

502
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 9: but us he's won out of this for a couple

503
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 9: of years now, right, like they've won out of this game.

504
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 5: They got out of this game.

505
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 9: Look, USC fans love to talk about the Pete Carroll

506
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 9: years or twenty years ago. They loved talking about it.

507
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 9: What did Pete Carroll do though? He's scheduled tough? Right,

508
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 9: just to win championships, you got to schedule these games, right.

509
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 9: They went to I think DC off the time I

510
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,199
Speaker 9: had played Vigia Tech, right, went to Arkansas and they

511
00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 9: smoked those teams, but they scheduled tough.

512
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 3: Look at what Notre Dame or.

513
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 9: Miami, r A and m did to all play chart

514
00:24:31,000 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 9: of the season. And they're ducking a game that they've

515
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 9: been losing. And there's many reasons for that, and some

516
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 9: of you mentioned and USC has their reasons and Notre

517
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 9: Dame has their reasons, but the fact is they're canceling

518
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 9: a game that has only missed World Wars and COVID

519
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 9: Otherwise they played every year.

520
00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 5: And look, let's be honest.

521
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 9: If USC was competitive in these games, they would play them, right,

522
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 9: it would help their resume to beat Notre Dame. But

523
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 9: in the end, all things have about Irish are true.

524
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 9: They need to join a conference. I can't believe again,

525
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,080
Speaker 9: did they get this preferential deal where they basically to

526
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 9: be in the top twelve. I mean, there's a scenario

527
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,680
Speaker 9: where USC could beat them, be ranked higher than them,

528
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 9: and then not go to playoff because the top twelve,

529
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 9: which are yes, that's silly to me.

530
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. And here's the other thing. When Pete Carroll was

531
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: the coach, if you won the Pac twelve, which was

532
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: awful during Pete Carroll's run, it was the weakest it's been,

533
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: you were you could play for a Natty. Now you've got,

534
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:28,880
Speaker 1: they're in the Big Ten, which is a much better conference,

535
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 1: and you also now go into a playoff. So to me,

536
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: I understand your argument. But all these guys going back

537
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: to the old days, Jeff, the world has changed. Is

538
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,440
Speaker 1: that Nick Saban refused to go on the road his

539
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,040
Speaker 1: last ten years for an out of conference game. You

540
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: played in Tuscaloosa or it was neutral. Nick is like,

541
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go on. I don't even care if

542
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 1: it's like an kind of a top twenty program. So

543
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: I think Saban was the first and nobody called him scared,

544
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,440
Speaker 1: and they would have probably won those games. But Nick's

545
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:02,879
Speaker 1: take was, when you're playing NFL bodies for twelve weeks,

546
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: I'm not adding another group of great players.

547
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 9: Look, I think the difference here too is that US

548
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 9: doesn't have that cachet at the moment that Nick Saban did,

549
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 9: right obviously, because they haven't won at that level. And

550
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,719
Speaker 9: I think people look at link at Riley's program right

551
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 9: now and question at times the toughness and the physicality.

552
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:22,240
Speaker 9: And then you're ducking a game against the team that

553
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 9: you need to tie it to sort of beat to

554
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,080
Speaker 9: win championships, right, you need to beat a team like

555
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:30,239
Speaker 9: Notre Dame to win a championship, just that style of play, right,

556
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 9: you have to do that potential over three or four weeks.

557
00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 9: So I think Nick Saban has a different argument because

558
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 9: they were winning championships, us he hasn't gone there now.

559
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,480
Speaker 5: Maybe not playing Notre Dame and putting someone else, and we'll.

560
00:26:40,359 --> 00:26:43,119
Speaker 9: Get USC to ten and two and a big you

561
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 9: can finish, tend to in a big ten, you're probably

562
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 9: a playoff team, and then you could prove all the

563
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,920
Speaker 9: doubters wrong if you get a playoff spot.

564
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a good sourcer to at USC, and

565
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,199
Speaker 1: I think their feeling was will play you. But our

566
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: core class schedule of trigonometry, chemistry and physics is a

567
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,440
Speaker 1: lot tougher than yours of basket weaving and wood shop

568
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,360
Speaker 1: and jim. So if we're gonna if you take schedules

569
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,680
Speaker 1: and look at Notre Dames next year, it's embarrassing and

570
00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: Notre Dame knows it, it's awful. Toughest game is Miami

571
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: at home. They'll be favored double digits in almost every game.

572
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:20,719
Speaker 1: So I think what USC felt is, Okay, let's look

573
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: at our schedules like core classes ours USC, Ohio State, Oregon,

574
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: Washington at Penn State, and India. We'll play you. We're

575
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: not playing you in the middle of our physics midterm.

576
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: We'll do week zero. That to me is a way

577
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 1: because I don't think US and C said no. I

578
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 1: think they said, Okay, you have a side deal, you

579
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:49,960
Speaker 1: have a weaker schedule. It's gotta be on our terms.

580
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: Isn't that realistic?

581
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 9: Well they certainly, they certainly said that, right. I mean,

582
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,359
Speaker 9: then the week zero thing is not actually possible based

583
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 9: on the rules of scheduling, like you have to have

584
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 9: a Hawaii g or some sort of weird situation of

585
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 9: play week zero. And USC has been better and neally

586
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 9: can Riley earn the season as well, So if you

587
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 9: get the opportunity to play them in the year, certainly

588
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 9: benefits USC more than it benefits Nord name, So I

589
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 9: get the argument why USC would would would want.

590
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 3: To do that.

591
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 9: Look, I think if both teams wanted to make it

592
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 9: happen calling it probably still gets done, right, I mean,

593
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 9: it just does. And neither team wanted to budge on

594
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 9: what they wanted this relationship, and now it's off for

595
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,640
Speaker 9: a little bit and maybe never comes back.

596
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 5: I don't know.

597
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 9: We'll see obviously how it goes this year and whether

598
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 9: it affects either of the team's. Look, the Irish schedule is, look,

599
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 9: their name has to join a conference, right like, they

600
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 9: have the best situation of anyone where they have to

601
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 9: join a conference, don't have to play conference championship game,

602
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,920
Speaker 9: which seems to not matter anyways towards rankings, and then

603
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 9: also get this deal with it to finish in the

604
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 9: top twelve with the schedule you mentioned. Look BYU should

605
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 9: be difficult to play at on the road, but eleven

606
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 9: and one gets you a playoff spot, right, So they

607
00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 9: have at the best of both worlds. I still think

608
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 9: USC shouldn't duck them, but I get both arguments.

609
00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560
Speaker 1: Okay, Oregon Texas Tech, I think they're I think it's

610
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 1: upset alert. Do you.

611
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 5: Uh No, I think we'll be okay.

612
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 9: So here's here's my thing about about Oregon at the moment,

613
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 9: but also playing a team a Texas Tech is that

614
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 9: Technik has just not seen Organ's offense. There's no no

615
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 9: one on their schedules like Organs offense. Now you could

616
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 9: put on ASU's film because of Kenny Dillingham, and that's

617
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:26,560
Speaker 9: sort of what you might see Oregon do, but no

618
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 9: one else season just tried to run directly at Texas Tech.

619
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 5: Right in the middle they have.

620
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 9: Their edges are great height, Bailey Rodriguez, it Will Windbacker.

621
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 9: Those guys are absolutely studs.

622
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 5: They are dudes.

623
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:37,479
Speaker 9: But the middle of their team sort of no one

624
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 9: really tried that. There are opportunities to throw deep. Arizona

625
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 9: State showed that, and just Texta hasn't played a defense,

626
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 9: an offense like organized thelipside. Organism played probably a defense

627
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,040
Speaker 9: like them since they played Indiana. They did play Penn State.

628
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 9: Still a good defense, I was still a good defense.

629
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 9: And then one thing on the other side is look,

630
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 9: Organ's defense this year has been great. Don't take the

631
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 9: third quarter of the GMU game and take seriously before

632
00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 9: they play GMU, every single team they face scored under

633
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 9: what they do.

634
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 5: Their yardage were under their average.

635
00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,560
Speaker 9: And one thing I think benefits Organ's defense in this

636
00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 9: game is Texas Tech has a sort of a stationaring quarterback.

637
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 9: We struggle stopping quarterbacks that run, which a lot of

638
00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 9: teams do. By the way, it's nothing new. So I like,

639
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 9: I think our team's really good man. I like our chances.

640
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 9: I think it's a really close game. We've handled adversity

641
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 9: well all season. We're healthier now, which is hugely important,

642
00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 9: specially offensively. Give me a great game. I think a

643
00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:32,520
Speaker 9: low scoring game, a controlled environment for both teams, just

644
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 9: trying not do too much, not make mistakes, can't turn

645
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 9: the ball over. Texas Tech number one the country in

646
00:30:37,040 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 9: field position because their defense sets them up in good spots.

647
00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: I got to touch on this. Jackson Dart has regressed

648
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 1: the last three weeks. People got film. He's been banged up.

649
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: If the Giants get the number one pick and can

650
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 1: take Fernando Mendoz, their fans are outraged by the suggestion.

651
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 1: You should think about it. What would you do, Giants, GM,

652
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:58,840
Speaker 1: you get the number one pick, what would you do?

653
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 7: Man?

654
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,240
Speaker 9: I mean, Mendoza plays a style of football that's gonna

655
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,400
Speaker 9: keep him healthier. I know Giants fans hate that discussion,

656
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 9: but it is true.

657
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 2: Right.

658
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 9: He is a he is excellent in the pocket. He's

659
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 9: gonna throw the balls as quick as possible. He's gonna

660
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 9: find the open guy. He's not gonna move like Dart,

661
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 9: which I think you sort of need in today's game though,

662
00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 9: Like that's sort of the question.

663
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 5: But Dart has all the physical skills.

664
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 7: Man, I.

665
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,480
Speaker 9: The Giants have so many holes in their roster they

666
00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 9: might not be like a Mendoza away from being good. Yeah,

667
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:36,280
Speaker 9: and can can use those draft picks to help Jackson

668
00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 9: Dart this game. This weekend's further number one pick, right,

669
00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 9: Raiders Giants. I'm curious to see if look taking is

670
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 9: not an actual thing that happens on Sunday, except like

671
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:49,400
Speaker 9: one time it does a year maybe. And I'm curious

672
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:52,200
Speaker 9: to see if either team rock Power is not playing right.

673
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:55,120
Speaker 9: I'm curious if either team sort of kicks the field

674
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,320
Speaker 9: goal punch the ball here. But to be fair, like

675
00:31:57,720 --> 00:31:59,480
Speaker 9: the Giants coaching stuff doesn't care if they have the

676
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,640
Speaker 9: first pick, they won't be there. That's also part of tanking, right,

677
00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,720
Speaker 9: Like the staff has to want to lose the game.

678
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 9: My captains are not gonna want to lose the games

679
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 9: coaching for his job or for his future. So kind

680
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 9: of curious to see how that one goes this weekend.

681
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: Hey, fun fact, I got to mention this. Jeff Schwartz

682
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: is facing Jaymack in the Fox Sports Fantasy Football Championship. Yes,

683
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:24,040
Speaker 1: and anybody that watches this show knows that Jamack has

684
00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 1: likes to insert it about four times a week, so

685
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: I'm rooting for. I mean, I hate to say this

686
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,959
Speaker 1: to Jmax, but he'll be impossible to deal with if

687
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: he wins it. He needs to be humbled. So I

688
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,800
Speaker 1: want an overtime thriller. But Jeff good luck on that.

689
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,520
Speaker 8: Jeff has a quarterback issue, so do I.

690
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 7: He has Kim Ward, Yes, Kim Ward, and I've got

691
00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 7: Justin Herbert against the Texans, so it's not looking great

692
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 7: for me.

693
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,360
Speaker 8: Yeah, I don't know who else. I got Kirk Cousins

694
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 8: on my bench, Jeff? Should I go to Kirk Cousins?

695
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,760
Speaker 5: Out of all things I care about?

696
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 9: Football wise, I hate to admit it, but fantasy football

697
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 9: is at the very very bottom up and so beating

698
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 9: j Max, who tears a lot. I didn't know we

699
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:05,080
Speaker 9: were in the playoffs till till a text two weeks

700
00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 9: ago said hey, Schwartz, you're looking to upset the number

701
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:07,680
Speaker 9: one seed.

702
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 5: So I was like, great, So now I'm all in.

703
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 5: Though I'm all in this week. I mean the money,

704
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 5: just for the money.

705
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,640
Speaker 8: Now figures cowhard? There's this isn't some change here?

706
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 5: Yeah?

707
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 8: Looking forward to it?

708
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 1: Okay, you too, can't wait. Jeff Schwartz, Fox Sports.

709
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 5: Good seeing you, buddy, take care of Thank you guys.

710
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 5: Have a good holiday, all right.

711
00:33:25,760 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 3: You two?

712
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 5: Yeah?

713
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: I mean he paused on the Mendoza thing. He's like,

714
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 1: oh boy, this is tough because Mendoz is big, sits

715
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 1: in the pocket, gets rid of the ball quick. He's

716
00:33:35,280 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: not going to be in the blue tent?

717
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 7: Are you? Are you noticing this some guys, some of

718
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 7: these draft analysts are lukewarm on Mendoza. Colin and I'm

719
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 7: starting to see I got a bone to pick with

720
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 7: our guy, Daniel Jeremiah.

721
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:46,920
Speaker 5: He is like him.

722
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 3: I mean he's not.

723
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 8: He's not like he's the number one lock and I'm like,

724
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 8: I don't. I just don't get what are we missing out?

725
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,400
Speaker 1: Well, he's not. He's not a run around guy and

726
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,680
Speaker 1: everybody likes mobility. He's a big, strong kid. I will

727
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:04,280
Speaker 1: say this, I really like him. Somebody I talked to

728
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 1: likes him. He thinks he's the best quarterback, but he

729
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: doesn't love him. He's like he's there. He's like, he

730
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: doesn't have Caleb's talent. He doesn't think okay, he said

731
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:16,720
Speaker 1: he is not as good a prospect as Drake.

732
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 2: May That's what I was.

733
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, so much fun, so much fun. Merry Christmas, everybody,
