Speaker 2: as well. Jeff is back and unlike last week, Jeff,

14
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: your ducks are off today. Meanwhile, I'm watching my UCLA

15
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 2: Bruins self destruct for much of this game. But now

16
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: they have regained the lead against Washington State. So this

17
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: is the price you pay when you have a freshman quarterback.

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: Ucla was leading nine to three to have a third

19
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 2: and goal at the five yard line of Washington State

20
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 2: right before the half, and he throws a pick six.

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 2: And those are the things would happen with freshman quarterbacks.

22
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 3: Do you know how U C L a first half

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: minus two and two and a half is his best

24
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 3: bet this week? This guy really yeah, wow, I'm not

25
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 3: I'm never getting over that. That is that that that

26
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: is that is torturous like that that like is I

27
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: I can't live that down ever, Like I just can't.

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:28,680
Speaker 2: Like right, well, let's take it. Let's take it in

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 2: the moment, all right. So UCLA is leading nine US three.

30
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 2: Either driving down the field, it looks like after a

31
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: by the way, two consecutive games. Now that on his

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: opening drive, uh, you know, Donte mor is throwing a interception.

33
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: For those who don't know, U say his quarterback. He's

34
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 3: a five star kid. It's he's a true freshman.

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 2: And he committed to Oregon.

36
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he committed to Oregon. He left when r o

37
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 3: c left and he he'll rotated the first couple of games.

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 3: Started Game three, then went to Utah. Had a tough

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 3: go in Utah. They scored seven points on offense and

40
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: he gave seven points away. Now he's after buy They're

41
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 3: playing Washington State this weekend.

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,639
Speaker 2: Right, and this was the last time UCLA and Washington

43
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: State play. The final score was sixty seven sixty three.

44
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 3: Yes, it was the classic game.

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 2: So it was the all time game, right, and this

46
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 2: game very different. You see all these defense outstanding. I

47
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: mean Washington State came in with the six rank offense

48
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 2: in the country. You see all these defense doing the job,

49
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:26,360
Speaker 2: but the offense after that early interception, it looked like

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: Dante Moore had sort of gotten things under control. And

51
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 2: again up nine to three, you know, final seconds of

52
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: the half, third and five, and you're counting the money, right,

53
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: I mean it's your you're count the money.

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: But I'm like, okay, cool, my process was right. I

55
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 3: got another one right.

56
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: And he throws a pick six? Can you can you

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: take us through that moment in the world of Jeff Schwartz.

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 3: So not only a pick six, it was a guy

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 3: like coming free off the edge of Blitzer who jumped

60
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: up and caught a pass. Yeah, Like it wasn't like

61
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: someone had jumped around or a tit ball. He was

62
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: just free off the edge. Like see guys open the

63
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 3: flat for a touchdown, and the play before Dante more missed,

64
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 3: another guy opened for a touchdown. I actually, so you

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: know packed on a network for me? I have you

66
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 3: know it's on my app? I don't have PAC twelve, uh,

67
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 3: And I was. I got some text messages before the

68
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 3: play ended, before I saw the play happen, so like

69
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 3: I got like, oh my god, I'm sorry for you. You

70
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 3: know that's a brutal beat, So I knew the play

71
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 3: was coming. Silence, Steve just sitting there silently because you

72
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: know you're gonna have bad beats as part of it.

73
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 3: But you know, when you end up, you know, correctly

74
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 3: predicting sort of how the game is gonna go. You know,

75
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 3: it's it's upsetting when it doesn't go that way because

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 3: of one poor play at the end of it. I

77
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,119
Speaker 3: mean again, like he drops the ball, he gets tackled,

78
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: he doesn't even catch it, like whatever it is, you'll

79
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: win the wager, and instead, you know, you know, you uh,

80
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 3: you lose the wager.

81
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: But well, the argument is is that you were right

82
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 2: in your prediction. It just that circumstances played again.

83
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's sort of how you know, like today,

84
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 3: earlier today, Missouri was getting anywhere from six to four

85
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 3: and a half points, depending on where you got that

86
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 3: number at against LSU this morning, right the game was

87
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 3: at twelve eastern. They were within that number, so they

88
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 3: were either winning the whole time or within four points

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 3: for fifty nine minutes and I think like thirty seven

90
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 3: seconds then ls you had to pick six on the

91
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 3: final play of the game, and LSU wins by ten

92
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 3: and they cover, Like that's just that's part of wagering.

93
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: Yet beats that. This is why I don't wager. We've

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,159
Speaker 2: had an interesting day today. Really started with that Oklahoma

95
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Texas game.

96
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 3: What a game.

97
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 2: That was a tremendous game, I mean back and forth,

98
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: just the intensity of that crowd. Of course lash or

99
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: an embarrassment game, and so this was a game that

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,280
Speaker 2: we expected that was going to be type both teams undefeated,

101
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:01,719
Speaker 2: but it was Oklahoma that ultimately prevailed. I mean, I'm

102
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: thinking going in, all right, Sarks got things going at Texas,

103
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: Yours is playing pretty well. Then Youwers throws two picks

104
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 2: in the first quarter and it's like, what the heck

105
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 2: is going on? They came back, but too little, too late.

106
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: Any surprise. Where Oklahoma is right now, I mean, talk

107
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 2: about flying under the radar after an off season last

108
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,800
Speaker 2: year for Oklahoma in the beginning of their post Lincoln

109
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: Riley era, they're underfeeder right now.

110
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I you know, I thought that Texas up in

111
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 3: the trenches would be able to win this game, and

112
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 3: they just didn't. It was disappointing that it just was

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: disappointed that it ended up not not you know, not

114
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 3: happening in the way that I thought Texas would would

115
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 3: would be up front, right and again like they they

116
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 3: just kind of didn't play offensive line defensive line quite

117
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 3: a thought. But in credit Oklahoma for for being more physical,

118
00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 3: for bringing it quinn Ewers had some bad interceptions, bad plays,

119
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 3: and Oklahoma in the end, I mean, Dylan Gabriel that

120
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 3: that touchdown pass was was just marvelous. He sat in

121
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 3: that pocket, sat in that pocket, sat in that pocket.

122
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 3: Then boom found found a guy and it was it

123
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 3: was awesome. And look last season bread Venables did not

124
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 3: have a good year, right, Uh, we know that the

125
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 3: head go to Oklahoma and you know, everyone sort of

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: decided to dance on his grave. And all I say

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 3: sometimes when it comes to these discussions, Steve is like,

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 3: let's just give a guy a second year, Like like,

129
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 3: give him one more year. And I get that the

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 3: pressure there's a lot of pressure there and there's a

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: lot of that. I get that, But to me, it

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 3: was like guy is very successful as a defensive coordinator

133
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: a Clemson for all these years, he's been waiting for

134
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 3: this opportunity, for all these years. He finally got an opportunity.

135
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: He recruited great players to Clemson. Just give him a

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: year and look at this. They're they're undefeated. They're on

137
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 3: track to make it a playoff birth in my opinion

138
00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 3: as of right now. Might not might that might not

139
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: be that way in three or four weeks, but they

140
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 3: have obviously the tiebreaker. Now a goatinst Texas for the

141
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 3: Big Twelve chaptership game. So like they they're playing good football.

142
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 3: And we just got to give coach a Steve more

143
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: than a year one time, like like it's okay to

144
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 3: just you know, it might take some time. And one

145
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 3: year at Brenhanimals had his team playing well.

146
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 2: So speaking of coaches, Nick Saban is finding ways. They

147
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: were trailing much of this game against A and M.

148
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 2: But right now the Crimston Tide leading Texas A and

149
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 2: M twenty four to seventeen into the fourth quarter. Right now,

150
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: this is an Alabama team that has twelve yards rushing

151
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: in this game. Twelve yards rushing. Milroe though, this is

152
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 2: the amazing thing about this young quarterback right, So he

153
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: had a run of punt punt, punt interception. Now they've

154
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 2: had back to back touchdown drives. Milroe is now throwing

155
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: for two hundred and eighty five yards three touchdowns. So

156
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: he's beginning to and again eyeball test, that is what

157
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: I go by, you know, Jeff, I'm you can look

158
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 2: at the numbers all. I'm watching the kid right, and

159
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 2: he seems to get a little bit of an understanding

160
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 2: what they're trying to do offensively. But if the Tide

161
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: wins this game, this will be a huge win on

162
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: the road obviously against Texas A and M. It would

163
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: once again re emphasize the point that even if you

164
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: don't have you know, again four consecutive quarterbacks that are

165
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 2: all current starters in the NFL, and now you don't

166
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 2: have that kind of quarterback, at least it doesn't look

167
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: like you have that kind of quarterback, coaching can still

168
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: make a difference. Nick Saban still has it.

169
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: He does, and you know, it's it's impressive to see

170
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 3: the way they played so far today. Obviously one quarter left,

171
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: now they're up by a touchdown. You know, I think

172
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 3: you know, a lot of us look at this game.

173
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,559
Speaker 3: I thought A and M would win. I still might,

174
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: you know, they still might win. Obviously, there's still a

175
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: lot of time left. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, you know,

176
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 3: Alabama has less talent than they've had in previous years.

177
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 3: It's very clear, right, especially at quarterback. The offensive line

178
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 3: hasn't been as good. They don't have a Will Anderson, right,

179
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: I don't have a you know, a Devonte Smith and

180
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 3: a Waddle and a Jerry Judy, like, they don't have

181
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: those guys, right, But what they do have is a

182
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 3: team that still has talented football players, a team that

183
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 3: is your point, is still well coached, and they're going

184
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 3: to be in a lot of these games just for

185
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: the you know, just for those reasons, right, is their

186
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: ability to just be well coached and be in the

187
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: right place, make the right plays, tackle, do do things

188
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: that that you know that that that should be done

189
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 3: if you're good football team. And it goes back to

190
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 3: your point, coaching finding ways to run the offense with

191
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 3: a quarterback who is you know, Milrose, Okay, Steve Right,

192
00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 3: I mean it's okay, he's not great, but he has

193
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,599
Speaker 3: the physical ability to throw. He had he had a

194
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: deep thought to burn earlier that was great like he's

195
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:47,079
Speaker 3: he has some thows that are really good, and they

196
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 3: just make it work around him. And look, this team's

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 3: not winning championship this year in my opinion, but they're

198
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 3: batting their butts off on the road against you know,

199
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,199
Speaker 3: an A and M team that you know is just

200
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,319
Speaker 3: as talented as them, I think.

201
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,560
Speaker 2: All right, So they forced a fourth down situation for

202
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: a M fourth and six. I don't know if any

203
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: of it is going to go for it. We got

204
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 2: twelve minutes to go in the fourth quarter there. Meanwhile,

205
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 2: UCLA scored again. So UCLA now leads washing State twenty

206
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 2: five to seventeen inside the twelve minute mark in the

207
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: fourth quarter in that game. By the way, we're brought

00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 2: so a few teams are off this weekend, but it's

253
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: still a fully loaded schedule and what better way to

254
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,559
Speaker 2: kick it off and bringing in our Fox Sports Radio

255
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 2: NFL insider Adam Kaplan and Adam I want to start

256
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 2: with the team your closest to that would be the

257
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles. We have two undefeated teams left, and everyone

258
00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 2: thinks there is light years difference between the way the

259
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 2: forty nine ers are playing and the way the Eagles

260
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 2: are playing. And all of a sudden, I'm listening around

261
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 2: Eagles on the road against the Rams, and man, I'm

262
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 2: hearing a lot of people predicting a Ram upset. Cooper

263
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: Cupp is back, obviously, Pooka Aku has been an unbelievable

264
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: rookie fine for the Rams. Right now, Stafford's paying playing well.

265
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: But let's get back to the Eagles. Where is this

266
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: Eagle team right now? And when are things going to

267
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: start clicking the way we saw at the end of

268
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: last year.

269
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 6: Well, well, last week, guys, their offense really took off,

270
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 6: particularly the passing game. The running games pretty good since

271
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 6: Week two, but the passing game took off on Jalen Hurts,

272
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 6: and what I was told was more decisive, not waiting

273
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 6: for something to break open, not dropping his eyes.

274
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 7: He's just he just felt better.

275
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 6: The lines had their offensive line block well, was not

276
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 6: a problem, and he took care of business. So that

277
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 6: was good to see now, but the problem with this

278
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 6: football team is not the offense.

279
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 7: Guys.

280
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 6: Going forward, They've got major issues in their their secondary.

281
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 6: Their nickel corner Vante Max is out through at least

282
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 6: the regular season with torn pectoral muscle.

283
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 7: They don't really have a natural slot.

284
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 6: They moved James Bradbury in last week, didn't go well

285
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 6: against Washington Cartisanol did very well. Who's the Commander's slot receiver.

286
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 6: And you also saw him do well doing Thursday night's

287
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 6: loss to the Bear. So they've got problems, guys. They

288
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 6: just don't have that guy. So what they did is

289
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 6: they sign Bradley Roby, who was released by the Saints

290
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,400
Speaker 6: in the preseason. They brought him, they worked him out

291
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 6: on Tuesday. It was the only player that goals worked out.

292
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 6: They sign him to their practice squad and they elevate

293
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 6: him today and he'll play tomorrow, presumably in the slot,

294
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 6: because man, Jeff knows this as NFL player, when you

295
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 6: don't have a good slot corner, teams are going to

296
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 6: take advantage of it, and so far that's happened.

297
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: Looking around at some big games tomorrow the Senate that

298
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 3: football game is Cowboys Niners. Feels like a big spot

299
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: for the Cowboys here right, You know, if you want

300
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,040
Speaker 3: to compete in the NFC, you have to go through

301
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 3: the Niners. How important is it for this group to

302
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 3: play well and win this game? From Michael McCarthy tomorrow night.

303
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 7: Well, look, they got off to this great start. We

304
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 7: all know that.

305
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 6: And then the reality is that this is the kind

306
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 6: of game that you go, Okay, here's where we're at.

307
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 6: I know coaches don't like to do that, but personnel

308
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 6: people do. They kind of see where they want to

309
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 6: see what the roster looks like against the better opponent.

310
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 6: And they're notters right now. Aregualy to be the NFL's

311
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 6: best team. They're so consistent. Are also, by the way,

312
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 6: that one of the healthiest teams. That's that's huge for

313
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 6: them because last year they had a lot of injury issues.

314
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,120
Speaker 7: This year they don't. They're not down at any starters.

315
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: Now.

316
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 6: I'm very interested see what Dan Quinn does here, their

317
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 6: defense coordinator, because he plays a lot of man coverage,

318
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 6: very aggressive, and we know what Kap Shanahan does a

319
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 6: lot of pre stap motion. They're gonna they'll they'll wind

320
00:15:23,560 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 6: up having the most pre stapp motion of any NFL team. Again,

321
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 6: so that's gonna come here. And remember now, Trayvon Diggs

322
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 6: is out for the season. The Coubley's best corner. How

323
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 6: do the Niners take advantage of that? That That's something

324
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 6: I'm looking forward to seeing in this game.

325
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 2: I like to talk about Saints Patriots. I mean Drew Brees,

326
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. Oh they're not there, Yeah, they're gone. The

327
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 2: Saints have four offensive touchdowns in four weeks. That hasn't

328
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 2: happened to start a season since Archie Manning was the

329
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: quarterback of the Saints. And the less said about the

330
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: Patriots offense, the better. Coming off the worst Belichick loss

331
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: of all time, they benched obviously Mac Jones he will

332
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: be starting today. They've lost both their home games. I

333
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 2: just want to sort of focus on the Patriots because

334
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: they seem like a team because all the hype Bill

335
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 2: O'Brien's gonna revive. The offense averaging less than fourteen points

336
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 2: a game. Are we on the verge of a complete

337
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 2: Patriots collapse? Or can Belichick find a way to hold

338
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: this thing together?

339
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 6: Well, Steve Jones played very well in Week one against

340
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 6: the Eagles, had by far his best game of the season,

341
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 6: but it's been severely downhill since then. As you mentioned,

342
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 6: Billy Zappy bench took over for him, and look, Zappi's

343
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 6: a backup.

344
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 7: I mean they know this. This was they brought him back.

345
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 6: You remember Zappi they actually cut and then brought back

346
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 6: as their backup. It's kind of a weird deal, but

347
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 6: the bottom line is that mac Jones goes to the

348
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 6: club goes now. The other problem is they've got severe

349
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 6: injury issues on defense. The best corner Christen Zalaz, the

350
00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 6: rookie silver Toward Labraham, he's out at least through the

351
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 6: regular season. And then Matthew Judon's got this biceps injury.

352
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 6: He's going to be out a while. He's the best

353
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 6: pass rusher. That's why they brought back j C. Jack

354
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 6: and from the Charters who started his career with them

355
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 6: and did very well. But they're in dire straits here.

356
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 6: They're just not a very good football team that can't

357
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,160
Speaker 6: move the football as you were talking about. Their offensive line,

358
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 6: by the ways, had a lot of injury issues since

359
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 6: Week one. It's been a problem. They keep having guys

360
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 6: out and going with backup Set's not good. They're a

361
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 6: team that's in transition here. But to what guys, this

362
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 6: could be the downfall. Look, I've always avoided saying this

363
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 6: when Brady left, so let's just see how it goes.

364
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,320
Speaker 6: And obviously it's not going well right now, and I

365
00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 6: don't see a turnaround quite frankly, with the roster that

366
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 6: they have.

367
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm very happy Jonathan Taylor got paid by the Colts today,

368
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: he's back in uniform. He will play tomorrow. But this

369
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 3: discussion about running back value I find to just be

370
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 3: so tedious, like are we done with this now? Like

371
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: I know Sake One will be a free agent after

372
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 3: this year, so maybe we're gonna have a session again.

373
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 3: But it's just a no one wins in that discussion, right, Like,

374
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 3: it just seems like it's tedious and sort of a

375
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 3: waste of time to continue to talk about. Right.

376
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 7: Well, look, and I haven't got the break down.

377
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 6: I know that it's reported fourteen million year, but as

378
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 6: you know, that's just coming from generally from the agents

379
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 6: who have to actually see what the money looks like.

380
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:06,320
Speaker 6: But fourteen million a year is actually much better than

381
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 6: a lot of people thought he could get, or any

382
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,359
Speaker 6: back could get. But overall, at least it's not like

383
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 6: ten million or eleven million a year.

384
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 7: They did him right. And here's the thing though, before

385
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 7: we move on to the next subject here.

386
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 6: You got to give Jim Mersey credit here because you know,

387
00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 6: he was the one who said we're not even going

388
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 6: to extend his contract, and Chris Ballard kept the communication

389
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 6: open with the agent and Chris, as I understand, never

390
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 6: wanted to trade Taylor. This is this guy who's been

391
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 6: a terrific player, very good person off the field. Although

392
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 6: Taylor wanted to be traded because he wasn't going to

393
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 6: get a deal, he also knew that there was not

394
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 6: a very good market. This is not a secret in

395
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,440
Speaker 6: league circles. There was very little market for Taylor in

396
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 6: terms of what he can get in an extension, and

397
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 6: that's the problem. So yeah, to go where Jeff is

398
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 6: going here. Yeah, the running back market will never be

399
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,159
Speaker 6: what it once was. In fact, no one has come

400
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: close since that deal that McCaffrey got at seventy three

401
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:01,120
Speaker 6: years ago.

402
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: It's amazing. A week ago, we were talking about the

403
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,879
Speaker 2: aftermath of that seventy to twenty Dolphins beat down of

404
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: the Broncos, like, are the Broncos that bad? Are the

405
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 2: Dolphins that good? Broncos bounce back looked awful early against

406
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 2: the Bears and then engineered that come from behind win.

407
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 2: And meanwhile, the Dolphins got beat down mercilessly by the

408
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. The Dolphins are hosting the Giants. Are the

409
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 2: Giants and Daniel Jones this bad and if they are?

410
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 2: What happened?

411
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 6: There's several things. First of all, their offensive line's been

412
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 6: banged up since day one. They're left tackle Andrew Thomas,

413
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 6: who's one of the lead left tackles on the league.

414
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 6: He had a setback, not just Friday, the friday before.

415
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 6: They thought that he was actually going to play last

416
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,560
Speaker 6: week's game, but he had a setback, so he's down.

417
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 6: He didn't do anything this week. They don't have an

418
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,199
Speaker 6: exact timeline for him to return. Then two of their

419
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 6: interior linemen unfortunately got hurt in this last game on

420
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 6: on the tush push play that. So they're down three

421
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:04,400
Speaker 6: offensive linemen. They're down there. Their star running back Barkley,

422
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 6: we'll at least right now now he's got a chance

423
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 6: to play. But it's a high ankle sprain. You know,

424
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 6: I guess the reporting on that was wrong. He confirmed

425
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 6: it's actually a high ends sprain. So that's a problem.

426
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:14,399
Speaker 6: And by the way, you asked about dating Jones. He

427
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 6: needs a running game. Some quarterbacks don't. He absolutely needs

428
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 6: a running game. It's got to start with Barkley. They

429
00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: don't really have a chance. And you know what the

430
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 6: other thing is, this has been undiscussed. Their defense has

431
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,560
Speaker 6: been terrible. The lack of turnovers. It's yeah, they're they're

432
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 6: they're the lowest in the NFL and turnovers force. We're

433
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 6: talking about don Winck Martindale here, guys, that's the undiscussed

434
00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,600
Speaker 6: stories how bad their defense has been.

435
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 3: The Bengals are on the road to Arizona. We know

436
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 3: that Joe Burrow's calf is sort of hampering the offense.

437
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 3: They're one in three. This is a must win for them.

438
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,720
Speaker 3: But you know, the Borough Caffinger, I feel like as

439
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 3: one of those is just not going to get better

440
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:47,840
Speaker 3: this season. Is there a plan at some point to

441
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: try to get him some rest and maybe you know,

442
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 3: some a winnable game here and there, because I feel

443
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 3: like this is going to be lingering all season long here.

444
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, Well, they have a bye week coming up in

445
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,200
Speaker 6: Week seven, and that's what their hope is to him

446
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 6: up his feet. But here's the problem with caf strings.

447
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 6: He has a right cast and that's his pushoff leg

448
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 6: for right hand thrower. You really can't get it right.

449
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,639
Speaker 6: I was told unless you sit four or five weeks,

450
00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 6: if you're a quarterback and it's your you know it's

451
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 6: the leg that you throw off of. So Jeff to

452
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 6: answer your question, no, I know. I know he's off

453
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,840
Speaker 6: the injury report, but that doesn't tell you that it's

454
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 6: not bothering him. Yeah, is it better? Yes, And Burrow

455
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 6: did say this is the best he's felt all season.

456
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,719
Speaker 6: But it's not gonna get normal. And their offense has

457
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 6: been pitiful, it's dropped off. Their defense is sort of

458
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 6: hanging in there. Their secondary is not very good. Look,

459
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 6: they they were terrible obviously last week at Tennessee. They

460
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 6: just didn't play well.

461
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 7: Overall.

462
00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 6: They don't have the kind of defense could shut anyone down,

463
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 6: and that's the problem. And they also, by the way,

464
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 6: some new injuries on defense have popped up yesterday, so

465
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 6: that's a problem. I'll tell you what the Cardinals could be.

466
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 6: Are cable of beating anyone. I know the record stinks,

467
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 6: but they're super competitive. I did not see this at

468
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,000
Speaker 6: all on the John again of their head coach. They

469
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 6: don't have a lot of talent, but they play very hard,

470
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,280
Speaker 6: and that's the word from the teams that play them

471
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:01,280
Speaker 6: like they kind of I think some teams kind of

472
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,879
Speaker 6: slept on them and almost as it's kind of one

473
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 6: of these things where yeah, they're going to go to

474
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 6: the playoffs, but they're going to give teams a tough struggle.

475
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 2: All right, One final thing here, So you mentioned the Cardinals. Obviously,

476
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 2: preseason predictions had the Cardinals the overwhelming favorite and the

477
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams sweepstakes. But I agree with that. I think

478
00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: Cardinals are much better than people thought they were going

479
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 2: to be. Dobs has played well, and of course the

480
00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 2: Bears finally get off to Schneid, they look good. In fact,

481
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,680
Speaker 2: the last couple of games, Feels has played extremely well,

482
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 2: which leads one winless team. That would be the Carolina Panthers.

483
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 2: And with all due respect to Bryce Young, CJ. Stratt,

484
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 2: and Anthony Richardson at least early have looked a lot

485
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: better than Bryce Young. Imagine this, the Carolina Panthers with

486
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 2: the number one overall pick in the draft. I know

487
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 2: that's a long way away. Yeah, well, I mean again,

488
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,560
Speaker 2: so if the Panthers have the number one overall pick,

489
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 2: the year after taking Bryce Young? Do you pass on

490
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:02,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams? Are they okay with Bryce Young? I know

491
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: it's awfully early right now, but the way Stroud's been playing,

492
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: the way Richardson's been playing, question marks.

493
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 6: Well, they don't have the pick. Yeah, it's conveyed to

494
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 6: the Bears. But no, let's put it this way though,

495
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 6: with Bryce Young, he did have the anto injury, did

496
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 6: miss a game. They're gonna see this through. They think

497
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 6: they have a good enough group around him. Their offensive

498
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,120
Speaker 6: line's got problems. They're not protecting well Guana. The left

499
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,439
Speaker 6: tackle has not been great. They're down actually another lineman.

500
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 6: It's they can't run the ball with Miles Sanders. Does

501
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,920
Speaker 6: not look good, although he'll play this week with his

502
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 6: gorein injury. Now, they played a Lions team. By the way,

503
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 6: he's gonna have Jameson Wantings to make his debut the season.

504
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 6: I know talking to the Lions they cannot wait to

505
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 6: get him out there. He'll play tomorrow. They're not gonna

506
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 6: have a ma Rice Amn Rossaint Brown as the best receiver.

507
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:47,760
Speaker 6: But yeah, it doesn't look good. There's no doubt now

508
00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:50,280
Speaker 6: what the Andy Dalton, by the way, looked great against Seattle.

509
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 6: He had a monster game a couple of weeks ago,

510
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 6: and Young didn't play. But no, there, they're going to

511
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 6: see this through. I mean, look, Stroud has looked tremendous.

512
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 6: I mean, he's looked awesome, there's no question about it.

513
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 6: Way better than probably anyone expected. And Richardson the COMPLICITUS

514
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,200
Speaker 6: percentage doesn't look go but he's made some great throws

515
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 6: so far. You just got to see this through and

516
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 6: they're going to do that. But they're obviously way worse

517
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 6: than we expect.

518
00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 3: Yeah.

519
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: I'm not a huge Frank Reich head coach fan.

520
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 3: That's just me.

521
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: They're just me. I don't know if that was the

522
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 2: right hire for Carolina with a young quarterback like Bryce Young.

523
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 2: All right, well, as always, you've gotten this ready for

577
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 2: State game, you talk about weird stats. UCLA has outgained

578
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 2: Washington State in this game. Some of these stats are

579
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: mind boggling. So they've out It's four seventy three to one,

580
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: ninety five. First downs are twenty three to eleven. Washington

581
00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 2: State has four turnovers, Ucla has two, Washington State is

582
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 2: one for eleven and third downs and it's still a

583
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 2: one score game.

584
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, twenty five seventeen three forty five left. It's on

585
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 3: the patch Off network. It's thrilling. What's funny it is

586
00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: Colorado a State. It's going to start early before the

587
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:04,479
Speaker 3: end of this game because of the time it has

588
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 3: to be on. What I want to understood. What I

589
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 3: want to know is who's the next tech Sam coach

590
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 3: going to be? Do you have an opinion who? This

591
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: was the game where Jimbo we take advantage of Alabama

592
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 3: being a little bit not what they've been in the past,

593
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 3: and they have just poohed down.

594
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: Their leg Well, I mean when you think about Jimbo

595
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 2: at Florida State right after the national championship run, after

596
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 2: the Jamis Winston two seasons, I mean they went downhill.

597
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, A and M threw a boatload

598
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: of money, I mean record numbers to get Jimbo Fisher

599
00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 2: to run the show. And they're a middle of the

600
00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 2: pack team and in the SEC right now. So I

601
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,240
Speaker 2: agree with you. I mean, I don't know which way

602
00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 2: they go. You know, when LSU went out and got

603
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, Brian Kelly, I was sort of like, see

604
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:57,440
Speaker 2: how that goes? That was a huge one on the

605
00:27:57,520 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 2: road today for LSU.

606
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:03,360
Speaker 3: Wolf wins this game, they basically go as a championship game. Yeah,

607
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 3: like they have like a free run in the West.

608
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 2: Well, right now they're down nine and Alabama has the ball.

609
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 2: Al Milroe just got sack right now. But right I mean,

610
00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 2: I mean it's it's not working like thought.

611
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,159
Speaker 3: Play when you watch Max Johnson play, You're not like, well,

612
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 3: they're going to come back at this game.

613
00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:24,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, So twenty six to seventeen, Alabama leads four minutes.

614
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,280
Speaker 2: Clock is ticking in that game. Hey, I want to

615
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,520
Speaker 2: get back to the Carolina situation because you're close to

616
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 2: it there. So like you, like you mentioned Carolina didn't

617
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: even have their pick that that goes to the Bears

618
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:38,960
Speaker 2: by the way, either, the Bears or Carolina. Yeah, yeah,

619
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 2: you know what if Justin Fields plays well. He's played

620
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: really well the last couple of weeks. I mean, you

621
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 2: can't blame him for what happened against dem.

622
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,840
Speaker 3: He's yeah, but the second half they scored only seven points.

623
00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: I understand, But he put up three touchdowns in a

624
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 2: quarter and then through four touchdown passes.

625
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: He's looking a little better. I will I'm with you there.

626
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:00,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's given to turn into a

627
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback. He's had like almost thirty starts now, all.

628
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: Right, So if the Bears do end up with the

629
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 2: number one overall pick, he's still take Caleb Williams. Regardless

630
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:10,720
Speaker 2: of your quarterback situation. If Caleb Williams is on the board,

631
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: you have to take Caleb Williams.

632
00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely.

633
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 2: You can't pass on him.

634
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 3: The GM did not draft Justin Fields. You cannot pass

635
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 3: on you know, there's no chance, no chance.

636
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 2: What's going on in Carolina. Any buyer's remorse with Bryce Young,

637
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:25,800
Speaker 2: I don't think yet, But.

638
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: I do think that you know, the issues that you

639
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 3: are concerned with Bryce Young have showed themselves a little bit.

640
00:29:31,640 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: But again, you know, he has no one to throw

641
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,120
Speaker 3: to right, and the offensive line hasn't played as well.

642
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 3: Just like I said to start the show about you know, ventables,

643
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 3: like giving the Oklahoma coach more than a year, Like,

644
00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: let's give Caleb Williams, not kill Williams, Bryce Young more

645
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 3: than four games before we decide.

646
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 2: I understand, But I mean the fact is c J.

647
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: Strauss really got really good. Look, I think better each

648
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 2: week by the way.

649
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: I think if you had so the with CJ. Stroud, right,

650
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:04,680
Speaker 3: he started two seasons, his basically his best game ever

651
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: was the Georgia game. Then they lost in the in

652
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 3: the se champion game, he was in the playoff. He

653
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 3: was great. That was a different quarterback than we had

654
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,760
Speaker 3: seen his entire Ohio State career.

655
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:18,960
Speaker 2: Well, he was mobile in that game, right, he decided

656
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 2: to run.

657
00:30:20,600 --> 00:30:23,840
Speaker 3: And so I think if the question for me about

658
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,040
Speaker 3: Stroud was like, what are we getting?

659
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:26,239
Speaker 1: Right?

660
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 3: Are we getting sort of the you know, the the

661
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 3: running quarterback, the confident quarterback that we saw against Georgia.

662
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: Are we getting what we saw in previously?

663
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:33,920
Speaker 2: Right?

664
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 3: And what's pretty interesting about that is like justin Herbert's

665
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 3: a good parallel because at Oregon he did not run

666
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,239
Speaker 3: the football until the last two games of his career there,

667
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:42,760
Speaker 3: like they told him, you can't run the football. His

668
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,560
Speaker 3: final season comes the NFL much different quarterbacks. I think

669
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,200
Speaker 3: Stroud had played the Georgia game over two seasons, he

670
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 3: would have been the first pick of the draft, right,

671
00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: but he hadn't shown that yet. So understand the Panthers

672
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: going for the sure thing. And there are many things

673
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 3: that Bryce Young does really well pre snap. I think

674
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,120
Speaker 3: there's there's many reasons why you'd make on the practice quarterback.

675
00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 3: And I'm not saying you have to go away from

676
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 3: him and just ditch him already, but I think that

677
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: the discussion about who to draft would have been much

678
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 3: different if strout had played sort of the the Georgia game,

679
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:16,360
Speaker 3: you know, twelve times, right, And he just hadn't done

680
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,960
Speaker 3: that yet. And so it's not surprised to me Stroutz

681
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: Stroud's playing well. The surprise, I think is that the

682
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 3: Panthers and Bryce Hung are not playing as well.

683
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 2: So I was in Phoenix this week and I'm listening

684
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:36,320
Speaker 2: to a Cardinals show, right, yeah, and they're gaga over Dobs.

685
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,960
Speaker 2: I mean they're they're gaga over him. I mean, in

686
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 2: some ways they were sort of dismissing the final score

687
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,720
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers because it was a pretty

688
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 2: competitive game until late and obviously Christian McCaffrey is I mean,

689
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 2: in my opinion, the league's MVP right now. But they

690
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,760
Speaker 2: weren't even talking. I mean, we remember this. The Vegas

691
00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 2: over under on wins was four and a half for

692
00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 2: the Cardinals. Every other team in the league was at

693
00:32:01,480 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 2: least six.

694
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,360
Speaker 3: And a half.

695
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: I mean, they were clearly the worst team, but after

696
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 2: they were convincing win against the Cowboys and playing competitively

697
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 2: against the forty nine ers, I'm trying to figure this out.

698
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,880
Speaker 2: I mean, records aside through the first quarter of the season.

699
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 2: Who's the worst looking team in this league? Is that

700
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: the Giants?

701
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 3: Yes, it has to be right for the expectations. Yeah,

702
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,400
Speaker 3: are the Patriots are up there too. By the way,

703
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:26,880
Speaker 3: what do you.

704
00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 2: Think the Giants would do if they had.

705
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 3: The first overall pick? Did Jeff killib Williams?

706
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 2: I mean, you just gave forty million Jones.

707
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 3: Jones has one year left on that sort.

708
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:40,400
Speaker 2: Of like, you know, right right after two years?

709
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, by the way, you still his defense, buddy, Yeah,

710
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 3: Like they they're pretty good. They just stopped Washington a

711
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:53,360
Speaker 3: fourth and one, they're gonna win the game.

712
00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:55,560
Speaker 2: Lea, this was a use this the Washington State team

713
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 2: came in. Look what Washington State did against the Oregon

714
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 2: State defense, which was considered one of the best uh

715
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,240
Speaker 2: in the in the in the conference. But the u

716
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 2: C L A, this might be the single best defensive

717
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 2: performance considering the opposition we've seen on display in the

718
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 2: Pac twel this year.

719
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:15,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, especially with you know really what u c

720
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 3: I has been over the years with uh yeah, with Kelly,

721
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 3: I think A and M just scores. We've got a

722
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,080
Speaker 3: lot of a lot of action here. All right, this

723
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 3: is like your this like your show with uh with

724
00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 3: Richard said this Red Zone Radio.

725
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 2: What a Sunday we had last week? Oh man, we

726
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 2: had a couple overtime games. Things were going nuts. So

727
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: last week all right, on the other side, by the way,

728
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: next hour, take full advantage as usual, Jeff in the house,

729
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:39,680
Speaker 2: which means we're gonna break down a lot of the

730
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 2: NFL games.

731
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 7: We're not.

732
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 2: He's not gonna give away all his picks. You gotta

733
00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,320
Speaker 2: wait till tomorrow morning for that. But he's gonna give

734
00:33:45,360 --> 00:33:47,560
Speaker 2: us little taste of this. But on the other side,

735
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 2: I got an update on the Heisman. Where do I stand?

736
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: One?

737
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:54,640
Speaker 2: Two, three, you'll find out. This is Fox Football Saturday,

738
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 2: Steve Harman, Jeff Schwartz, this is Fox Football Saturday. We

739
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 2: are comingy alive from the tairak dot com studios. All right,

740
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 2: it's that time.

741
00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,520
Speaker 1: Countdown Heisman watch.

742
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 2: Well, it's a little known fact that I have a

743
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,960
Speaker 2: Heisman vote. I don't call a lot of attention to it,

744
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 2: except every time I have a chance to say it,

745
00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 2: I will say it. Very proud to have a Heisman vote.

746
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 2: Why are you going to get a Heisman vote? Jeff,

747
00:34:26,719 --> 00:34:27,239
Speaker 2: I don't get it.

748
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 3: Do you know that I have done Pacto radio for

749
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 3: five years and they didn't even give me a vote

750
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 3: for for like preseason polls. What. Yeah, I never got

751
00:34:35,920 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 3: a vote. I never voted anything.

752
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:39,839
Speaker 2: All right, Well, I'm I'm working on it. It's very,

753
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:42,760
Speaker 2: very difficult to get a Heisman vote.

754
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 3: Because the people vote.

755
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:48,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually there's eight hundred and seventy media members.

756
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: That's it.

757
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 2: There's eight hundred and seventy. There's six regions with one

758
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,799
Speaker 2: hundred and forty five votes in each region. The only

759
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:57,600
Speaker 2: way to lose your vote is to move out of

760
00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 2: the state, so to speak, profess that you work in

761
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 2: or die. I mean, that's pretty much the only way

762
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 2: to actually lose your vote.

763
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 3: Can you will yours to me?

764
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 2: I do have a lot of years on you, so

765
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: I will. You know, I have a lot of friends,

766
00:35:13,800 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 2: you know, our buddy Petrus Papadakis, another guy who's like,

767
00:35:16,840 --> 00:35:19,000
Speaker 2: you know, how can I get one of these Heisman votes?

768
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,640
Speaker 2: You know? Actually I got my vote from Pat Hayden,

769
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,759
Speaker 2: who neither died nor left, but he became the athletic

770
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,839
Speaker 2: director at USC. Then he had to forfeit his vote,

771
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:32,759
Speaker 2: and so I like to thank Pat for my current

772
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 2: Heisman vote. All right, So what I do each week

773
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:36,840
Speaker 2: is I updates on where I stand one, two to

774
00:35:36,880 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: three in the Heisman race. This is my current number.

775
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:43,279
Speaker 5: Three, two white outs left, one to the right bowl

776
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:45,520
Speaker 5: with a stamp, quick throw over Franklin.

777
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,960
Speaker 1: He'll get there, talks down Troy Franklin.

778
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 2: Jerry Allen from lear Field right there. Bo Nicks of

779
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:55,800
Speaker 2: Oregon has cracked the top three, coming off as twenty

780
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,640
Speaker 2: seven to thirty two two hundred and ninety yard, four touchdown,

781
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 2: zero pick performance against Stanford bow Knicks Oregon quarterback is

782
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:07,320
Speaker 2: my current number three. Here is my current number two.

783
00:36:07,520 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 5: Old dynamite, and they'll throw it toward the ends and

784
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 5: again talk Jack Westover again. Touchdown in a flash. Jack

785
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: Westover sets the ball down and celebrates with his teammates

786
00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 5: after his second touchdown touch of the ball game, and

787
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:24,760
Speaker 5: the Huskies are humiliating Michigan State in their own stadium.

788
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,400
Speaker 2: That's Tony Casarzoni there from lear Field as Michael Pennix,

789
00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,239
Speaker 2: last week's number one drops the number two, thirty of

790
00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,799
Speaker 2: forty three hundred and sixty three yards in a road

791
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 2: win against Arizona. Did not have a touchdown pass nor

792
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 2: an interception in that game, so he drops to two,

793
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 2: meaning this guy is the current number one.

794
00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,279
Speaker 7: Caleb Williams over the middle touchdown.

795
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 5: Guess who Brendan Rice again, seventh receiving touchdown of the season.

796
00:36:56,000 --> 00:37:00,399
Speaker 2: Trojan's Radio Network. Caleb Williams, the reigning HEISO winner week

797
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,880
Speaker 2: on the road against Colorado, thirty of forty four hundred

798
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,839
Speaker 2: and three yards, six touchdowns and his first pick. Now

799
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,440
Speaker 2: on the surface here you're saying, hold on, you got

800
00:37:11,480 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 2: two pack twelve guys and you have three pack twelve quarterbacks. Well,

801
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 2: these three quarterbacks combined are First of all, they're fifteen

802
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:24,279
Speaker 2: to zero. They have combined this year, Jeff, fifty two

803
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 2: touchdown passes and four picks combined so far. So when

804
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,480
Speaker 2: you look at team success and the numbers of these

805
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 2: three quarterbacks, I'm sorry, yeah, I mean, there's a lot

806
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 2: of great quarterbacks out there, but these three so far

807
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:46,239
Speaker 2: have checked every single box to get into my current

808
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 2: top three.

809
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 3: And then Washington Oregon play next weekend, so we'll get

810
00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:53,919
Speaker 3: a little bit of of maybe a Heisman elimination game

811
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 3: between those two. Then Washington USC play in a month

812
00:37:57,239 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 3: and Oregon USC playing a month, so there is there's

813
00:38:01,080 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 3: a lot of football still have to be played. Putting

814
00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: all those quarterbacks they're playing well, man, I mean I

815
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,000
Speaker 3: think right now Caleb Williams is, as you mentioned, as

816
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 3: the leader. It feels consensus right now, right, I mean,

817
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 3: Drake May has opportunities thence a couple of weeks aginst Miami, Uh,

818
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: he looked good today is in North Carolina.

819
00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: But here's the problem, Jeff with Caleb Williams is that defense.

820
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,960
Speaker 2: I mean that that that game against Colorado. I don't

821
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 2: know which way you were leaning in that game, but

822
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:27,960
Speaker 2: it you know, it looked like it was going to

823
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:32,080
Speaker 2: be an absolute USC blowout, uh and it was anything

824
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 2: but at the end of the game that this USC defense.

825
00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 2: But it will every week.

826
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, but what But for Caleb Williams, what it does.

827
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 3: It gives him more opportunities to have the.

828
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,719
Speaker 2: Ball sure as I honestly thought he was going to

829
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,080
Speaker 2: put him like seven or eight touchdowns, And it gives.

830
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 3: Him more of opportunity to have to win games for USC.

831
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: It's not great for like, it's not great for you know,

832
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 3: what would you say, like the you know, the overall

833
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 3: wins and losses of the team, right.

834
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 2: Well, I And again that always plays into especially with quarterbacks.

835
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:10,160
Speaker 2: We don't hold the same standard for other positions. You know,

836
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: running back of the guy just has ridiculous numbers. We

837
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,359
Speaker 2: don't have a running back like that this year. I mean,

838
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 2: I'm always looking for alternatives to quarterbacks, but I mean

839
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:21,880
Speaker 2: this year, I mean, we've just seen quarterback play going.

840
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 2: It's hard to believe another level so team success. I mean,

841
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:30,600
Speaker 2: if USC loses two or three games this year, it's

842
00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 2: going to be very hard no matter what kind of

843
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,600
Speaker 2: numbers Caleb Williams puts out there to win the Heisman Trophy.

844
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 3: We did last year right basically, But I also think, well.

845
00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 2: I almost I almost switched my pick at the end.

846
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, Dougan could have gotten my vote. If if

847
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,880
Speaker 2: TC had won that big twelve championship game and gone undefeated,

848
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 2: Dougan would have gotten my vote.

849
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 3: I think that there's there's also to my in my opinion,

850
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 3: there's also an absence of someone else who is taking

851
00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:05,080
Speaker 3: hold of that award right now, right, And that's part

852
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: of it as well.

853
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,440
Speaker 2: And we've seen years where we're at this point of

854
00:40:08,520 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 2: the season where the eventual winners not even on the radar.

855
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: I go back to Carson Palmers year, Like early in

856
00:40:13,880 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 2: the year, they lost a couple of games, no one

857
00:40:16,440 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 2: was talking about him, then he got hot at the

858
00:40:18,360 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 2: end of the year. Just a couple of years ago,

859
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,840
Speaker 2: Bryce Young, we were sort of all on the bubble

860
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 2: until that SEC championship game. All Right, coming up in

00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 2: m comes up short. Alabama finds a way to win

876
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 2: on the road. In front of the twelfth Man. As

877
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:17,800
Speaker 2: you mentioned earlier, was a big game for Jimbo and

878
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:21,120
Speaker 2: he could not beat his mentor.

879
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: He couldn't and it was for a lot of reasons

880
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 3: that were his fault. Poor clock management, poor decision with

881
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 3: with field goals, not being aggressive, weird timeout usage at

882
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 3: the end there. I saw the stat on social media.

883
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 3: It's pretty wild man, and they play at the end

884
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 3: of the Telecats in everything Staban Nick Saban as the

885
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:43,920
Speaker 3: head coach of Alabama is one hundred and fifteen and

886
00:41:44,080 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 3: one versus unranked opponents a start of two of two

887
00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:50,920
Speaker 3: thousand and eight, so he beats everyone he should all

888
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:51,319
Speaker 3: the time.

889
00:41:51,520 --> 00:41:52,840
Speaker 2: Yes, that's insane.

890
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 3: You know how hard that is? How man upsets we

891
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 3: see all the time. And uh, I guess it's after

892
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,279
Speaker 3: a second season and the starting a second season.

893
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 2: Yes, start with the I can see and crazy insane numbers.

894
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:05,000
Speaker 3: Jimba Fisher has to go.

895
00:42:05,840 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: The question is, you know, well, how sexy is that

896
00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:13,680
Speaker 2: a and M job. I mean they've invested a lot

897
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 2: of money and obviously they went out and really I.

898
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,680
Speaker 3: Mean they're dropping, they're dropping. The recruiting is good, so

899
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 3: that that obviously, that's the first start, right. Tele acquisition

900
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:25,919
Speaker 3: is very important. You're in the SEC. Obviously you're you're tough,

901
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,279
Speaker 3: you're tough conference. But now again the Big ten is

902
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:30,200
Speaker 3: gonna be super tough. It was weird seeing that schedule

903
00:42:31,320 --> 00:42:33,880
Speaker 3: came out yesterday with the new PAC twelve members.

904
00:42:34,360 --> 00:42:36,319
Speaker 2: Uh in the in the fold, well, how does how

905
00:42:36,360 --> 00:42:39,240
Speaker 2: does an M affected by Texas joining the SEC?

906
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,520
Speaker 3: DOHK, very much. I mean they're gonna play a little bit.

907
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:45,280
Speaker 3: I don't don't. It shouldn't matter recruiting in my opinion,

908
00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:49,360
Speaker 3: so it's an attractive job because I think you have

909
00:42:49,440 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 3: the support of the administration, the boosters to be really good.

910
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 3: There's just a high level of winning expected there. And

911
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: I've mentioned this many times, not on this show, but

912
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:06,360
Speaker 3: other shows. I've been looking up right now to make

913
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:08,920
Speaker 3: sure that I have the right number here, But Texas

914
00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 3: A and M has won double digit games twice since

915
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,359
Speaker 3: nineteen ninety four, right like, they don't win as much

916
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:23,000
Speaker 3: as they project themselves as winning. And that's why I

917
00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,600
Speaker 3: think to your point about the job being tough, is

918
00:43:25,719 --> 00:43:28,759
Speaker 3: that you know it's and by the way, that that's

919
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:30,399
Speaker 3: really the cut off. And when they joined the Big Twelve,

920
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:31,680
Speaker 3: by the way they win the swack and the win

921
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 3: to Big twelve is that, you know, expectations matter a

922
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,120
Speaker 3: lot when it comes to how people view your record,

923
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 3: right your wins. For example, Colorado, you know three and

924
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,960
Speaker 3: a half wins they win today it's Asu they have

925
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:46,759
Speaker 3: four wins, Oh my god, and Dan is doing a

926
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,239
Speaker 3: great job. But you know, so if you go there

927
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 3: just no a deatpatis are you need to win double

928
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 3: digit games and win the conference? And that doesn't happen

929
00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:54,920
Speaker 3: very often. No.

930
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,080
Speaker 2: In fact, if you think about A and M's best run,

931
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 2: it was with RCC Welcome back in the day. In fact,

932
00:44:01,880 --> 00:44:04,480
Speaker 2: I look back from ninety one to ninety twelve. Yeah,

933
00:44:04,560 --> 00:44:10,719
Speaker 2: they had four consecutive double digit win seasons back when

934
00:44:10,760 --> 00:44:13,759
Speaker 2: he played an eleven game schedule, So I mean, they

935
00:44:13,800 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 2: had some really good seasons back in the day. But again,

936
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:20,920
Speaker 2: I just don't know if a name coach is like,

937
00:44:21,080 --> 00:44:23,840
Speaker 2: oh yeah, I'm begging to go to Texas, A and M,

938
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 2: especially with Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC next year. Now,

939
00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: of course you could luck into finding that rising star coach.

940
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 2: I mean, is there any is there any coach that

941
00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:40,360
Speaker 2: maybe is like that coached, I mean, like back in

942
00:44:40,400 --> 00:44:42,320
Speaker 2: the Lincoln Riley days and stuff like that, that just

943
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:45,680
Speaker 2: sort of sitting there waiting for that opportunity where if

944
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,480
Speaker 2: he jumped to A and M, suddenly.

945
00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 3: The couple come to mind. Washington's offensive cornator Ryan Grubb

946
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:54,399
Speaker 3: comes to mind. Alabama tried to hire him this past

947
00:44:54,400 --> 00:44:56,880
Speaker 3: season as the OC. He stayed at Washington, and I

948
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 3: think because Emmy Caalen de Borre very close, but also

949
00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: he wants to be a college head coach if they

950
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:03,520
Speaker 3: continue to have the offense that he has, I don't

951
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 3: know why you wouldn't consider him an A and M.

952
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,680
Speaker 3: You know, there are some other coaches, you know, Tulane's

953
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:10,799
Speaker 3: coach obviously, you know who just signed a big deal.

954
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 3: But when he's done at Tulane, to redo that, I

955
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,400
Speaker 3: think there's a lot of other options. But you know,

956
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:22,160
Speaker 3: does A and M want to do young, unproven head coach,

957
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:24,600
Speaker 3: first time head coach. I mean that's the you know,

958
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: or they go the other direction that they call Urban

959
00:45:26,640 --> 00:45:30,239
Speaker 3: Meyer and get him out of retirement at Fox and

960
00:45:30,360 --> 00:45:31,759
Speaker 3: have him go coach A and M. Right, I mean,

961
00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,120
Speaker 3: that feels like the first call they make right is

962
00:45:34,200 --> 00:45:36,439
Speaker 3: to Urban and say, hey, man, do you want this job?

963
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 3: You know, we've seen what he's done at two places now.

964
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:42,560
Speaker 3: So I don't know what direction they go, but I

965
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,960
Speaker 3: think I feel comfortable thinking that he just whatever direction is,

966
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: it won't be with Jibbo next season.

967
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:50,759
Speaker 2: By the way, Number one Georgia writing a twenty two

968
00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:53,360
Speaker 2: game winning streak. By the way, that's the longest in

969
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:57,680
Speaker 2: Georgia football history. And they got a test today. I mean,

970
00:45:57,760 --> 00:46:02,000
Speaker 2: did you see Kentucky dismantle floor the last week Georgia

971
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 2: escaped on the road against Auburn. Georgia like Alabama. You

972
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:08,360
Speaker 2: just I mean, we talked about this last week. You

973
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 2: can't just lose five or six first round picks every

974
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:15,600
Speaker 2: year and hope to replenish, you know, immediately those positions.

975
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,239
Speaker 2: Just how vulnerable I mean, Georgia is at home, but

976
00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:23,239
Speaker 2: this is an undefeated Kentucky team, like I said, last week,

977
00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:25,040
Speaker 2: just took apart Florida.

978
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:30,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're waiting for that. This is Georgia game. It

979
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,880
Speaker 3: does feel like tonight could be some of this. Kentucky

980
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,399
Speaker 3: is just very one dimensional offense. They run the ball

981
00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:38,919
Speaker 3: and that's about it. Devin Learry is completing about fifty

982
00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:40,840
Speaker 3: percent of passes or some of the fifties, which is

983
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:43,239
Speaker 3: obviously not ideal. If you want to compete against Georgia,

984
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,040
Speaker 3: you just can't be one dimensional, right, And so I

985
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: feel like this is the game we might see Georgia breakout.

986
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 3: It's also worth noting you mentioned their win last week

987
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 3: at Auburn, right, a trend around the country for most

988
00:46:56,320 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 3: teams outside of I think Michigan is the first conference

989
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:03,759
Speaker 3: road game for top ten teams has been really tough, right,

990
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 3: Florida State at BC Arizona. Washington went to Arizona last

991
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:11,640
Speaker 3: week and won by seven. Oregon played at you know,

992
00:47:11,719 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 3: Oregon played at Stanford was fourteen six at halftime. Penn

993
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 3: State was tied with Northwest halftime. The first conference road game.

994
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:23,239
Speaker 3: We've just seen this throughout the you know, throughout the

995
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,080
Speaker 3: country this year. Those are some examples. I think there's

996
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:30,839
Speaker 3: more to be had there, and so I would hold

997
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:32,759
Speaker 3: that against them, Steve, is my point, like I think

998
00:47:32,800 --> 00:47:34,040
Speaker 3: that we have to wait to see how they play

999
00:47:34,120 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 3: today to decide if last week was what they are

1000
00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 3: or just you know, you grind out a home win,

1001
00:47:39,719 --> 00:47:41,440
Speaker 3: which again I mean a road win, which is hard,

1002
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:42,239
Speaker 3: hard to win on the road.

1003
00:47:42,280 --> 00:47:42,400
Speaker 2: Men.

1004
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 3: You know we saw today like Washington State, right, this

1005
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,960
Speaker 3: is the first conference road game, didn't look good. It's

1006
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 3: it's hard to win on the road. It's hard to

1007
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,359
Speaker 3: win conference road game, especially when you haven't done it yet.

1008
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:55,000
Speaker 3: And so today will be the barometer for me on

1009
00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 3: how good Georgia is going to be this season.

1010
00:47:56,840 --> 00:47:59,440
Speaker 2: All right, I want to switch gears momentarily. I know

1011
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:01,920
Speaker 2: this is fuck football Saturday, but we have the Division

1012
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 2: Series starting today in Major League Baseball. By the way,

1013
00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 2: a guy that you and I are both fans of,

1014
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:09,719
Speaker 2: Bruce Bocie. I've known Bruce since he first got the

1015
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:13,680
Speaker 2: job with the Podres back in nineteen ninety five. He's

1016
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,319
Speaker 2: a dear friend. I try to convince him to come

1017
00:48:16,360 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 2: back to the Podres. He tried to convince me with

1018
00:48:19,080 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 2: a wink wink that he was retired. He unretired with

1019
00:48:21,840 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 2: the Rangers. So the Rangers collapse right at the end

1020
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:27,680
Speaker 2: of the year to blow the division title. They go

1021
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:30,360
Speaker 2: into Tampa when two straight and now he opens up

1022
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 2: with the winner on the road against the rs This

1023
00:48:32,200 --> 00:48:35,480
Speaker 2: guy knows how to navigate the postseason. So the Rangers

1024
00:48:35,520 --> 00:48:37,320
Speaker 2: are up one to zero on that series. But to me,

1025
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 2: the big story today and this is crazy so Arizona

1026
00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,800
Speaker 2: and again I was just like I said in Phoenix.

1027
00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,680
Speaker 2: This week, Diamondbacks take care of business against the Brewers.

1028
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 2: Who saw that coming, so they're they're very ready to

1029
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,480
Speaker 2: take on the Dodgers kersh. Obviously he'll start for the Dodgers,

1030
00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: but the choice of pitcher for Arizona is hilarious. Merril

1031
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 2: Kelly is starting for the Diamondbacks and he's you know,

1032
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: he's been a pretty solid starter, you know, not a

1033
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 2: one guy, but you know, a pretty solid starter. But

1034
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:08,360
Speaker 2: in sixteen careers starts against the Dodgers, Yeah, he is

1035
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: oer and eleven with a five to forty nine era. Now,

1036
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:13,680
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's the guy you want starting

1037
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 2: Game one a Division series. He is oh and eleven

1038
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,759
Speaker 2: in sixteen careers, starts against the Dodgers with a five

1039
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:23,680
Speaker 2: forty nine ERA.

1040
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 3: If the Dodgers lose to the Gyingbacks after busing Padres

1041
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,480
Speaker 3: last year, that's I'm gonna laugh very heartily. Bruce Bochie,

1042
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:33,800
Speaker 3: Obviously I'm a Giants baseball fan. I would love to

1043
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:36,640
Speaker 3: have him back, yes, but you know when he got

1044
00:49:36,680 --> 00:49:39,239
Speaker 3: to the Giants, and I actually did not appreciate him

1045
00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:40,799
Speaker 3: early when he was with the Giants. Plus, they didn't

1046
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,400
Speaker 3: have a good players part of it, right, like the

1047
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:46,000
Speaker 3: transition for the Ballings years to you know, Timlinzy come

1048
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,600
Speaker 3: to them, the team they had that win the championship.

1049
00:49:48,040 --> 00:49:50,200
Speaker 3: I never gave him the credit he deserved until the postseason,

1050
00:49:50,320 --> 00:49:53,600
Speaker 3: like he is a wizard in the postseason.

1051
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:56,239
Speaker 2: He knows. Think about this, those three World Series wins

1052
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 2: twenty ten, twelve, and fourteen, they were not favored in

1053
00:49:59,160 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 2: any of those years. No, I mean you had you

1054
00:50:01,960 --> 00:50:05,160
Speaker 2: had Buster Posey, you had Sandoval, you had a couple

1055
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,239
Speaker 2: of guys on and then it was sort of a

1056
00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,120
Speaker 2: pitch you know, pitching by committee would change up with

1057
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 2: the bullet. It seemed like every time he made a.

1058
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 3: Pen stuff, it was a multiple stuff. He was the

1059
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:18,799
Speaker 3: bullpen stuff. He was so good. Georgia up seven nothing,

1060
00:50:18,880 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 3: Buddy told you the Georgia breakout game. They Georgia will

1061
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,239
Speaker 3: drive touchdown. The way he manages the bullpen man like.

1062
00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: He doesn't do the analytics thing, which I which I'm not.

1063
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 3: I'm not against, by the way, totally not against. It's

1064
00:50:32,960 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: it's called gay kapler fired right, Like, you have to

1065
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,840
Speaker 3: have a little bit of both, right, you have to

1066
00:50:37,840 --> 00:50:40,120
Speaker 3: have a little bit of my gut and the.

1067
00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,840
Speaker 2: Numbers, both of those. You know, here's the thing about boats.

1068
00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: He'll Boach will say, give me the analytics. Fine, I

1069
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: give me numbers, but that's not going to be the

1070
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:52,160
Speaker 2: deciding factor. I mean, it will be part of the equation,

1071
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 2: but I'm I'm gonna go with my gut. Like he's

1072
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 2: a former major league catcher, and and any anyone that

1073
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:00,880
Speaker 2: spent two minutes of both you fall in love with

1074
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:04,040
Speaker 2: this guy. You know, he's a big man, gigantic head.

1075
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean the head, he's a size eight head, eight

1076
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 3: eight l eight. I love when he walks the mound too.

1077
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,400
Speaker 3: He looks just like like bigfoot walking And that's a

1078
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:16,720
Speaker 3: bruder video of just like he's he's long, his arms

1079
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:20,000
Speaker 3: like dragging like walks the mound. I'm so happy for

1080
00:51:20,120 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 3: him and you being in the situation where you know,

1081
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,600
Speaker 3: he goes to Rangers year one. Now they have a

1082
00:51:24,760 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 3: better team they had last year. But yeah, there's no

1083
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 3: surprise that I think that he's where he's at in

1084
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: the postseason considering all the success he had in San Francisco.

1085
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,400
Speaker 3: And you know, a manager, I think he embodies what

1086
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:39,440
Speaker 3: a manager is for baseball, right, is that you know,

1087
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:40,800
Speaker 3: it's a long season, so you have to do a

1088
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,320
Speaker 3: good job of keeping guys fresh and keeping guys interested

1089
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,200
Speaker 3: in and you know, in in the game each week,

1090
00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: right in the game each day, and make sure you

1091
00:51:49,680 --> 00:51:53,359
Speaker 3: guys are enjoying themselves, getting enough at bats, getting enough

1092
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:55,919
Speaker 3: pitching opportunities, and in the postseason. Man, it's what he does.

1093
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: It's it's the Let me give you an example of

1094
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,719
Speaker 2: matchups today. They're they're leading. Read it too. It's the

1095
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:04,080
Speaker 2: eighth inning. Bottom of the eighth inning, runners on first

1096
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:07,560
Speaker 2: and second, no outs for the Orioles. Chapman has just

1097
00:52:07,719 --> 00:52:09,799
Speaker 2: bounced a pitch to walk about her, to put two

1098
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 2: on right, and here's a roll. This Chapman obviously at

1099
00:52:12,600 --> 00:52:14,279
Speaker 2: the back end of his career, and you can see

1100
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: Bochie in the dugout. Almost any other manager would panic, right, Okay,

1101
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,600
Speaker 2: he can't throw a strike. I gotta get this guy

1102
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 2: out of there. He stays with him, gets the double playball,

1103
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 2: and then strike out again. His instincts with the bullpen

1104
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:36,160
Speaker 2: are unmatched. He is the best instinct manager as far

1105
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:38,720
Speaker 2: as the bullpen in Major League Baseball.

1106
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,680
Speaker 3: It's crazy, yeah, and it just sticks. I like watching

1107
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:44,399
Speaker 3: posts of baseball. It just feels very.

1108
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 2: Tough to have it on Saturday, Yeah, and Sunday, to

1109
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,600
Speaker 2: say the least. We have no Sunday. Obviously games will

1110
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 2: be on Monday, but Saturday a little tough with all

1111
00:52:52,840 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 2: the college football all right. On the other side, we're

1112
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,720
Speaker 2: gonna start getting into some of these matchups NFL Sunday.

1113
00:52:58,760 --> 00:53:01,680
Speaker 2: We got some buys this win, we got an international game,

1114
00:53:02,120 --> 00:53:06,000
Speaker 2: a little potpourri of activities, plus what happened to the

1115
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,480
Speaker 2: Commanders in that big blowout loss at home against the

1116
00:53:09,520 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 2: Bear's gonna break it down. This is Fox Football Saturday.

1117
00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,280
Speaker 8: That's an the pistol, Travis Leagude, hand offense and running

1118
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 8: ride around on the edge.

1119
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: Hast Be twenty bot thirty here.

1120
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 3: Sideline forty fifty foot recording thirty Agley Meddle. You're not

1124
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:36,080
Speaker 3: You.

1125
00:53:37,400 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: That's Jeff Colhayen right there from lear field number five,

1126
00:53:41,320 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 2: Florida State of convincing thirty nine to seventeen victory today

1127
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:49,680
Speaker 2: over Virginia Tech. The Seminoles are at five and zero.

1128
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:53,000
Speaker 2: He's watching Clemson barely eke out a win at home

1129
00:53:53,040 --> 00:53:56,480
Speaker 2: against Wake Forest. Of course they're sitting with two losses

1130
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:59,719
Speaker 2: right now on ranked. How good is Florida State here? Jeff,

1131
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:02,719
Speaker 2: I think they're a title contender this year. You know

1132
00:54:02,880 --> 00:54:06,320
Speaker 2: they they so you know to me, title contenders have

1133
00:54:06,400 --> 00:54:08,080
Speaker 2: to have a couple of different things, right, florist State

1134
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 2: sort of checks to boxes. Right, quarterback good quarterback?

1135
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,840
Speaker 3: Right? Is he great? He's good? Right, he's good. He

1136
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 3: he has moments where he where he has great plays. Right,

1137
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:21,560
Speaker 3: they have explosive weapons to get you explosive plays in

1138
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 3: the passing game, It's a huge importance when you play

1139
00:54:23,719 --> 00:54:27,719
Speaker 3: really good defense. You can't go twelve play drives all

1140
00:54:27,760 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 3: the time. Too many bad things happen, right, you need

1141
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 3: explosive play options. Number three is they rush the passer, right,

1142
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 3: Like that's my third thing, they rush the passer. Well,

1143
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:38,719
Speaker 3: they have a good defensive line, and so they're showing

1144
00:54:38,840 --> 00:54:42,439
Speaker 3: the conversation for playoff contender, especially in a year where

1145
00:54:43,080 --> 00:54:45,080
Speaker 3: you know they're George is a favorite to me still,

1146
00:54:46,120 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 3: but like that's you know, like that's just default for now.

1147
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,279
Speaker 3: There's Georgia, there is you know, I mean Alabama I

1148
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:56,520
Speaker 3: think is still in the hunt right for a playoff Berth.

1149
00:54:56,960 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 3: You have, you know out west, you obviously have organ

1150
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:03,120
Speaker 3: in Washington and USC if cam Arrisey ever comes back.

1151
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 3: You have Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, you have Florida State, Miami.

1152
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:11,000
Speaker 3: Miami is good. They win tonight, they'll have another you know,

1153
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 3: I believe they'll be undefeated and they're gonna have opportunity

1154
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:19,359
Speaker 3: to to play North Carolina next weekend. I believe they're

1155
00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:22,160
Speaker 3: gonna have opportunity to play Clemson coming up. They're about

1156
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:25,759
Speaker 3: play Florida State coming up. So Miami is certainly in

1157
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,600
Speaker 3: discussion for a playoff team. They have North Day, they

1158
00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:32,600
Speaker 3: have Georgia Tech tonight, then at North Carolina. Then they

1159
00:55:32,680 --> 00:55:35,400
Speaker 3: have a home gamit's Clemson and they go to Florida

1160
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:39,880
Speaker 3: State and Saturday, November eleventh. That day is Saturday, Saturday,

1161
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:41,320
Speaker 3: November eleventh. Very quickly.

1162
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean're gonna be yeah.

1163
00:55:44,280 --> 00:55:46,560
Speaker 3: How about this. It's gonna be Miami at Florida State.

1164
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 3: It's gonna be USC and Oregon, and it's gonna be

1165
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,360
Speaker 3: uh utah in Washington. Nice.

1166
00:55:52,600 --> 00:55:53,280
Speaker 2: Nice, babe.

1167
00:55:53,440 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 3: Uh.

1168
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,800
Speaker 2: The one thing I'm missing though, Florida State does not

1169
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 2: have North Carolina on their schedule. Remember no more divisions anymore.

1170
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 2: So yes, top two records will face off in the

1171
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 2: ACC championship game. You know you mentioned Drake May. Obviously

1172
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 2: everyone had him, you know, top three going into the season.

1173
00:56:08,920 --> 00:56:11,760
Speaker 2: Caroline is undefeated right now. He's putting up big numbers.

1174
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 2: I think he had four forty seven and three touchdowns today.

1175
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:17,120
Speaker 2: He is that good. But you know, it'd been nice

1176
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: to see him maybe do it against a Florida State,

1177
00:56:19,640 --> 00:56:21,960
Speaker 2: you know, one of those type of games, but there

1178
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 2: are not on the schedule, although potentially could face off

1179
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,319
Speaker 2: each other in that ACC championship game. All right, let's

1180
00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:32,239
Speaker 2: get to a little NFL football as we head into

1181
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:36,359
Speaker 2: week five and again when we get into week five

1182
00:56:36,440 --> 00:56:39,680
Speaker 2: in the NFL season, Jeff, because you break it down,

1183
00:56:39,760 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 2: you break down the numbers. I mean you, you know,

1184
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: like very few people do. How much can you tell

1185
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 2: after five weeks or four weeks? You know, as we

1186
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 2: go into week five, has anything really changed from where

1187
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:55,359
Speaker 2: you started the season in terms of getting a better

1188
00:56:55,480 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 2: feel of how good or how bad some of these

1189
00:56:58,160 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 2: teams are?

1190
00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:02,279
Speaker 3: Well, definitely more in the bad. I feel like, right,

1191
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 3: you know, Steelers offense Patriots offense to me are two surprises.

1192
00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 3: I thought they'd be better. Eagles offense just not as good.

1193
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:12,000
Speaker 3: Not that big of a surprise, but just not as good.

1194
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:19,560
Speaker 3: The good I think is Rock Purty might be real.

1195
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 3: Like he Look, he'sn't eve played. He's barely played half

1196
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:24,800
Speaker 3: a season of games as a starter.

1197
00:57:25,920 --> 00:57:28,600
Speaker 2: Remind me again, how many regular season games has he lost?

1198
00:57:29,120 --> 00:57:29,320
Speaker 7: Zero?

1199
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:30,439
Speaker 3: He's done a few in the reglar season.

1200
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:33,040
Speaker 2: Zero he had one incomplete pass line.

1201
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 3: Likely if he was on the Cardinals he might not

1202
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,520
Speaker 3: even play. But he's on the best offense that suited

1203
00:57:38,560 --> 00:57:39,720
Speaker 3: for him. He doesn't make mistakes.

1204
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but he puts the ball wheres he needs to be.

1205
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 3: I agree, No, he's done a great job. I'm not

1206
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 3: disparaging him at all. He's done a great job. I

1207
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 3: think I think a lot of us were sort of like, yeah,

1208
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:50,760
Speaker 3: you know, year two, let's even gonna do it again.

1209
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 3: It feels like he's doing it again. So there hasn't

1210
00:57:52,880 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 3: been much in my opinion of the positive right, Like

1211
00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 3: I think a lot to me is all of things

1212
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:00,840
Speaker 3: I was wrong about early on are on sort of

1213
00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: like the team's not playing as well as I thought.

1214
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 3: I did not think the Giants were going to be

1215
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 3: good or the Viking is going to be good, so

1216
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,280
Speaker 3: that none of that surprises me about how that's going

1217
00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 3: so far. What surprises do you have for you?

1218
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 2: Well, I look at I think the New York teams

1219
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 2: for different reasons. I mean, the Giants as bad as

1220
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 2: they are, just because I didn't think Brian Dabele was

1221
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:24,160
Speaker 2: capable of being the coach of a team this bad.

1222
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean just I.

1223
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:27,040
Speaker 3: Think they're not that talented.

1224
00:58:27,200 --> 00:58:30,840
Speaker 2: I understand that, but you figure that Daniel Jones, who

1225
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: he already has more interceptions than he threw all of

1226
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 2: last year.

1227
00:58:34,840 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 3: You paid him for an outlier season.

1228
00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, but outlier season. I mean the idea was Dable

1229
00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 2: is sort of the quarterback whisper what he was able

1230
00:58:42,720 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 2: to do with Josh Allen and develop his game in

1231
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: Buffalo and at the very least you figure, all right,

1232
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: so Daniel Jones, I mean's you know, fifteen touchdowns, five picks,

1233
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 2: but nothing overly impressive. He can run the ball, obviously,

1234
00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 2: but you didn't figure he would take not just a

1235
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 2: step backwards, but I mean a leap backwards h in

1236
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: his game. I just didn't think that was gonna happen

1237
00:59:04,800 --> 00:59:08,880
Speaker 2: with Brian table Now. One game last week, we're sitting

1238
00:59:08,960 --> 00:59:13,960
Speaker 2: here doing you know, red zone radio, and it's twenty

1239
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 2: eight to seven Bears. I mean, here, here are the

1240
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 2: Broncos coming up that humiliating seventy to twenty loss. They

1241
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,000
Speaker 2: give up three touchdowns in one quarter. I was actually

1242
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,200
Speaker 2: saying at the time, what's worse giving up seventy points

1243
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,840
Speaker 2: to the Dolphins or twenty one in one quarter to

1244
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 2: the Bears. And so they're down twenty eight to seven,

1245
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 2: and we're just thinking, Okay, what kind of spin is

1246
00:59:38,840 --> 00:59:41,280
Speaker 2: Sean Pig going to put on this one, like, is

1247
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 2: he going to continue to blame Nathaniel Hackett for the

1248
00:59:43,760 --> 00:59:45,400
Speaker 2: fact that the Broncos are the worst team in the

1249
00:59:45,480 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 2: league and then they come back and win and now

1250
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:53,200
Speaker 2: they're hosting the Jets. You know, this was a game

1251
00:59:53,240 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 2: that a lot of people had circled before the season,

1252
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 2: you know, the whole hacket and getting revenge against it.

1253
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:00,360
Speaker 2: And I'm trying to get a read on this game.

1254
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:04,120
Speaker 2: Denver obviously a slight favorite at home, so it was

1255
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 2: all it was everything rectified by the Broncos after that

1256
01:00:07,200 --> 01:00:11,160
Speaker 2: comfort behind win against the Bears last week. Or are

1257
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:15,280
Speaker 2: they still a ground zero because I still I mean,

1258
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:17,320
Speaker 2: like I said, when you're down twenty eight to seven

1259
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:20,800
Speaker 2: to a Bears team that had done nothing offensively up

1260
01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:24,800
Speaker 2: until that point, that to me was beyond embarrassing.

1261
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 3: They're they're better on offense, yep, but defensively they're a

1262
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:35,400
Speaker 3: wreck man. And so they have to win Sunday. There's

1263
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,160
Speaker 3: no they have to win Sunday because they put they

1264
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,720
Speaker 3: go to Kansas City on Thursday next week. And they

1265
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,240
Speaker 3: haven't been the Chiefs. They've actually won a Super Bowl

1266
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 3: more recently they have been the Chiefs, which is a

1267
01:00:45,120 --> 01:00:49,000
Speaker 3: fun NFL little factoid there, So like this is a

1268
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,080
Speaker 3: this is a must win. It's a must win, and

1269
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 3: you have to do it against Zach Wilson led Jets

1270
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 3: offense that I just don't see happening. It doesn't it's

1271
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:58,560
Speaker 3: not happening again, right, like what he did, what he

1272
01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 3: did last week, he kind of caught lightning in the

1273
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,560
Speaker 3: bottle for about twenty five minutes. Yeah, you didn't play

1274
01:01:04,560 --> 01:01:07,160
Speaker 3: table in the fourth courting. Everyone wants to Steve. I've

1275
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 3: bout on my soapbox this week about the officiatings. I think,

1276
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 3: I think blaming officials for all this stuff is very

1277
01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:19,440
Speaker 3: lazy analysis of games. But I will say that, you know,

1278
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:24,160
Speaker 3: the uh, the the reason the Jets lost that game

1279
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:28,160
Speaker 3: was Zach Wilson fumbled the ball that he had that

1280
01:01:28,280 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 3: he had in his hands and the Chiefs were covered

1281
01:01:30,760 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 3: and keep the field goal with like it's Zack Wilson.

1282
01:01:32,760 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 3: So I don't expect Jack Wilson to play that well

1283
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:37,240
Speaker 3: again today or again tomorrow. I just don't on the road,

1284
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:40,040
Speaker 3: I don't see it. No consistency in this game ever.

1285
01:01:40,160 --> 01:01:43,280
Speaker 2: All Right, I have another big, big, big, big, big

1286
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: big story in the NFL. I'm gonna get to on

1287
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 2: the other side. But first let's find out what is trending.

1288
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 2: By the way, we're a live from the tire rack

1289
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,960
Speaker 2: dot Com studious. Martin is still here. That's right up,

1290
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,720
Speaker 2: still here. Now be here, Steve. I'm gonna be here.

1291
01:01:55,600 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 7: For a while.

1292
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,560
Speaker 2: We are not going anywhere. Martin was talking about an

1293
01:01:58,640 --> 01:02:00,920
Speaker 2: arrangement I've been living in for the last year.

1294
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:01,439
Speaker 3: Jeff.

1295
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,520
Speaker 2: This is living with my ex wife, sharing the same

1296
01:02:04,560 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: house with my ex wife for the last year. And

1297
01:02:07,360 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 2: I know you've told me, I know it's you know

1298
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 2: it's I mean, it's very similar, Steve, to what the

1299
01:02:12,120 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 2: New York Jets fans are doing. They got a divorce

1300
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:17,240
Speaker 2: from Zach Wilson, they married Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers goes

1301
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: down on week four, they moved back in with Zach Wilson.

1302
01:02:20,040 --> 01:02:22,240
Speaker 2: They're like, everything is fine, even though in his best

1303
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 2: game ever, like Jeff just said, he threw it a

1304
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,320
Speaker 2: he fumbled the ball away with a chance to win it.

1305
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 7: Well.

1306
01:02:27,760 --> 01:02:29,640
Speaker 2: And the thing about it is, you're reminded, if you're

1307
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,520
Speaker 2: a Jets fan, why it was you went out to

1308
01:02:31,560 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 2: get Aaron Rodgers. Absolutely, and it's the same reason I'm

1309
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 2: reminded almost every day of why my ex wife and

1310
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:38,560
Speaker 2: I got divorced.

1311
01:02:39,160 --> 01:02:42,280
Speaker 8: I mean, I could only imagine went from married to roommates.

1312
01:02:42,320 --> 01:02:45,080
Speaker 8: That's a tough one, yeah, all right. In college football,

1313
01:02:45,160 --> 01:02:47,480
Speaker 8: right other number one team in the nation to Georgia Bulldogs.

1314
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:49,919
Speaker 8: They took a seven to nothing lead early versus number

1315
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,560
Speaker 8: twenty three in Kentucky. Right now, a ball in the

1316
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,560
Speaker 8: end zone for Georgia, depending on we're seeing if that's

1317
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 8: going to be a touchdown U porn review could be

1318
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,800
Speaker 8: thirteen nothing right now with seven nothing. Number two team

1319
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:03,400
Speaker 8: in the nation, Michigan about to kick off against Minnesota.

1320
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:05,160
Speaker 8: The winner of that one takes a little brown jug

1321
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 8: also about to start, Number ten Notre Dame, and number

1322
01:03:07,800 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 8: twenty five Louisville and number sixteen, I mean number sixteen

1323
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:12,440
Speaker 8: old miss versus Arkansas.

1324
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 7: Just wrapped up.

1325
01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 8: Number five Florida State with a thirty nine to seventeen

1326
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,840
Speaker 8: went over Virginia Tech. Alabama, the eleventh three team in

1327
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:21,120
Speaker 8: the nation, hung on twenty six to twenty over Texas

1328
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,960
Speaker 8: A and M and UCLA upset the thirteenth ring team

1329
01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:27,720
Speaker 8: in the nation, Washington State twenty five to seventeen. Major

1330
01:03:27,800 --> 01:03:30,000
Speaker 8: League Baseball bottom of the eighth for the Twins in

Speaker 8: and the Braves in the top of the fifth Phillies

1333
01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,840
Speaker 8: with a one run lead. Earlier today, the Rangers beat

1334
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:39,560
Speaker 8: the Orioles three to two. They got a one to

1335
01:03:39,600 --> 01:03:42,720
Speaker 8: nothing lead in the Alds, and we have Diamondbacks versus

1336
01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:45,280
Speaker 8: Dodgers for the nightcap of the NLDS. All of these

1337
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:48,360
Speaker 8: games the first game of the series. In the NFL,

1338
01:03:48,440 --> 01:03:50,360
Speaker 8: the colch and Jonathan Taylor agreed to a three year,

1339

1340
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:55,320
Speaker 8: I don't know, Jeff, maybe we'll stop talking about running

1341
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,800
Speaker 8: backs being paid after this one. Expect to see him

1342
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,560
Speaker 8: Sunday Verse the Titans and the Packers in the Raiders game.

1343
01:04:00,640 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 8: Got a few questionable players there. Running back Aaron Jones

1344
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 8: for Green Bay questionable Raiders wide receiver Davonte Adams his

1345
01:04:06,640 --> 01:04:10,480
Speaker 8: shoulders bothering him. He's questionable as well. Bills activate Bill

1346
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 8: I'm sorry. The Bills activate pass rusher Von Miller off

1347
01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:16,919
Speaker 8: the pup list ahead of the Jaguars game across the Pond,

1348
01:04:17,320 --> 01:04:19,480
Speaker 8: and the Bills will travel to London to take on

1349
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 8: the Jaguars who have been there from now already for

1350
01:04:21,400 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 8: what two weeks?

1351
01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,920
Speaker 7: Now, I'm Martin Wise back to you.

1352
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,000
Speaker 2: All right, Martin, thank you very much. Once again, we're

1353
01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 2: coming you live from the tyraq dot com studios. All right, Jeff,

1354
01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:35,439
Speaker 2: what do Baker Mayfield, CJ. Stroud, Joshua Dobbs, and Justin

1355
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:38,920
Speaker 2: Fields have in common? So I just gave you four

1356
01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:43,720
Speaker 2: quarterbacks Baker Mayfield, CJ. Stroud, Joshua Dobbs, and Justin Fields.

1357
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. You tell me.

1358
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 2: They all have a higher passer rating than Patrick Mahomes.

1359
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:54,760
Speaker 2: Right now, Patrick mahomes passer rating is ranked sixteenth in

1360
01:04:54,840 --> 01:05:00,200
Speaker 2: the NFL. So this phenomenon with his tight end and

1361
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:06,640
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift has taken over the NFL. And the NFL,

1362
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: by the way, is going to ride that pony as

1363
01:05:09,280 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 2: long as they can.

1364
01:05:10,240 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 3: People are so weirdly angry about it.

1365
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 2: They are, well, I mean there, but and and Kelsey's like, yeah,

1366
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:18,240
Speaker 2: it's not a distraction, although he said too much is

1367
01:05:18,320 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 2: being made of it. But he acknowledges he's the reason

1368
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 2: this happened in the first place.

1369
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 3: But he's not the reason why this is not his

1370
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,200
Speaker 3: His player is not. The reason why the offense is

1371
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:31,920
Speaker 3: is a little start, all right.

1372
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:33,920
Speaker 2: So I mean they go on the road against save

1373
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,400
Speaker 2: Vikings team that last year. Of course, we're eleven or

1374
01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 2: zero in one score game, started the year zero to

1375
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 2: three in one score games this year. But the Chiefs

1376
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 2: are not playing great by any stretch. I mean, they

1377
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:47,480
Speaker 2: struggled to beat the Jets.

1378
01:05:49,120 --> 01:05:51,320
Speaker 3: That's not that surprising. They you know they were. They

1379
01:05:51,360 --> 01:05:53,200
Speaker 3: went to overtime the Texans on the road last year,

1380
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:53,840
Speaker 3: lost the Colts.

1381
01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 2: Well, let's start with Mahomes. I mean, like I said,

1382
01:05:56,160 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 2: he's sixteenth in the league in in passer rady. What's

1383
01:06:01,960 --> 01:06:02,240
Speaker 2: going on?

1384
01:06:03,040 --> 01:06:07,000
Speaker 3: So they're missing I never thought I would say, this's

1385
01:06:07,000 --> 01:06:10,520
Speaker 3: like they're missing uh a Juju Smith Schuster in the

1386
01:06:10,560 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 3: middle of the field. They don't have that middle of

1387
01:06:14,240 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 3: the field receiver that he trust. Yet they have mvs

1388
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 3: who who certainly can take the top off a defense

1389
01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:24,400
Speaker 3: and and certainly is the capable to go deep. But

1390
01:06:24,440 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 3: they're still missing so that the intermediate, the intermediate wide receiver.

1391
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,280
Speaker 3: And look, they have a lot of guys on the roster.

1392
01:06:31,320 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 3: I'm sure that someone will come forward soon. But that's

1393
01:06:33,760 --> 01:06:36,280
Speaker 3: that's what I'm seeing It's just they're missing a little

1394
01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 3: bit of that in in their offense. By the Georgia

1395
01:06:39,760 --> 01:06:41,920
Speaker 3: is up fourteen nothing already, it's told this is the

1396
01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:47,000
Speaker 3: Georgia game was back game, and that's what they're missing, Steve.

1397
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 3: They're missing that that middle of the I mean Juju

1398
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:52,040
Speaker 3: last year ended up having over sixty catches. I think

1399
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:57,560
Speaker 3: I think I think people sort of don't realize that

1400
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 3: that he had that role for the Chiefs last season

1401
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,640
Speaker 3: and they're missing they're just missing that middle of the

1402
01:07:02,840 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 3: field option for Patrick mahomes.

1403
01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:12,360
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you this, because the the hype

1404
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 2: on Tom Brady.

1405
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,080
Speaker 3: Was seventy eight catches last season.

1406
01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,280
Speaker 2: He can't just sit in I understand. But Tom Brady

1407
01:07:17,440 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 2: was the guy who could make anybody a star wide receiver, right,

1408
01:07:21,880 --> 01:07:24,560
Speaker 2: I mean and and and that's that was the feeling

1409
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,760
Speaker 2: again a year ago. You know, I was pushing the

1410
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 2: panic button with Tyreek Hill gone, and they answered by

1411
01:07:29,680 --> 01:07:31,880
Speaker 2: winning a Super Bowl. So they didn't seem to miss

1412
01:07:31,920 --> 01:07:38,360
Speaker 2: a beat. But are we over exaggerating Patrick Mahone's ability.

1413
01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who he throws two, they're going to

1414
01:07:41,440 --> 01:07:42,680
Speaker 2: become star wide receivers.

1415
01:07:45,520 --> 01:07:49,160
Speaker 3: But but he he's never really done that, right, I

1416
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,480
Speaker 3: mean Tyreek Hill is playing great Miami too. Yeah. What

1417
01:07:53,800 --> 01:07:56,560
Speaker 3: Mahomes does is spread the ball around and it doesn't

1418
01:07:56,720 --> 01:08:00,680
Speaker 3: it doesn't affect you know, the offense. He ten twelve,

1419
01:08:00,800 --> 01:08:04,120
Speaker 3: thirteen guys will catch a pass in a game and

1420
01:08:06,680 --> 01:08:09,640
Speaker 3: that's the offense like that, and that's okay. He's not

1421
01:08:09,840 --> 01:08:13,840
Speaker 3: making anyone into a better wide receiver. It's not getting

1422
01:08:13,840 --> 01:08:15,800
Speaker 3: guys pakes. I feel like people know that he's just

1423
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 3: they're running in the Does that make sense, Like he's

1424
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 3: not He's not had to do that. To be honest

1425
01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 3: with you, Travis kelce and him have a special relationship.

1426
01:08:22,560 --> 01:08:24,559
Speaker 3: And Travis cause he's probably not on the same player

1427
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,840
Speaker 3: with someone else, But he doesn't have to do that.

1428
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 3: He doesn't have to make someone better than they are

1429
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:32,479
Speaker 3: because the offense or takes care of it. But they're

1430
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 3: missing that. They're they're missing that like veteran middle of

1431
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:37,519
Speaker 3: the field guy. This year, they're lying on a lot

1432
01:08:37,560 --> 01:08:40,639
Speaker 3: of young guys to be that player not named Travis Kelcey.

1433
01:08:40,680 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 3: It's like a middlefield wide receiver. Yeah, Juju had seventy

1434
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:46,240
Speaker 3: eight catches last season. They're missing that type of player.

1435
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 2: All right, So Taylor Swift, I would imagine is not

1436
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: going to be a Minnesota.

1437
01:08:52,720 --> 01:08:55,439
Speaker 3: Never know, man, love love is you know, love makes

1438
01:08:55,479 --> 01:08:57,439
Speaker 3: you do things that you didn't think you'd ever do.

1439
01:08:58,400 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 3: Living have you been.

1440
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:02,120
Speaker 2: Hearing Kelsey does? He talk about this on his podcast

1441
01:09:02,280 --> 01:09:06,000
Speaker 2: and with his brother It's like it is it a romance?

1442
01:09:06,080 --> 01:09:06,519
Speaker 3: What is this?

1443
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:08,680
Speaker 2: And by the way, I mean, I can't turn on

1444
01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: the TV without Kelsey being in yet another commercial, so

1445
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:14,360
Speaker 2: I mean, I mean the hype train is off the

1446
01:09:14,600 --> 01:09:17,759
Speaker 2: rails right now and is Steve.

1447
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't care what their relationship is.

1448
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:22,880
Speaker 2: Well, you would care about it if it has an

1449
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 2: adverse effect on the team.

1450
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 3: I don't think it does, though, I don't know it

1451
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:26,960
Speaker 3: does it all.

1452
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,960
Speaker 2: I don't know. They don't look right by the way,

1453
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:32,439
Speaker 2: I mean, it's so.

1454
01:09:32,520 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 3: Funny how the a three to one team who probably

1455
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:36,960
Speaker 3: have haven't looked at the odds recently. He probably has

1456
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 3: the second or third best as in the Super Bowl

1457
01:09:39,320 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 3: is not playing well?

1458
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: Well okay, well what if they go look at a

1459
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,679
Speaker 2: certain Minnesota is certainly capable of beating and Kirk Cousins

1460
01:09:44,800 --> 01:09:48,080
Speaker 2: leads the NFL in touchdown passes, so he's capable. They

1461
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 2: might be They maybe do for a breakout game.

1462
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know they've been good, buddy, Like that's a

1463
01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 3: holy man. These games pretty impressive.

1464
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, So if we're talking down the road and

1465
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:02,680
Speaker 2: the Chiefs lay an egg in Minnesota, and because you

1466
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,599
Speaker 2: know how Chiefs fans are, like, whoa, we got everything

1467
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:11,000
Speaker 2: going so well right now, we don't need this because

1468
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: anything bad happens to this team. This is what Remember

1469
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:18,240
Speaker 2: when Tony Romo was dating what was it, Jessica Simpson. Yeah,

1470
01:10:18,240 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 2: and they lost and they put the blame on her.

1471
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:24,360
Speaker 2: This is how these are how football fans. They don't

1472
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 2: want this kind of discharge.

1473
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:27,680
Speaker 3: If Chiefs fans are blaming Toastwift.

1474
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:29,880
Speaker 2: Though, well, I mean, but had they lost that Jets

1475
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:33,200
Speaker 2: game I was watching, I was following social media during

1476
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:35,640
Speaker 2: that game. They said, yeah, she'll be going home with

1477
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 2: Zach Wilson after this game.

1478
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,000
Speaker 3: Oh well that yeah, they're marking they were walking obviously. Yeah,

1479
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 3: the situation, I don't think it's a distraction. Actually, if

1480
01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,719
Speaker 3: there's one team that could handle it's probably the Chiefs

1481
01:10:45,880 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 3: just the way that they operate, knowing you know, how

1482
01:10:47,880 --> 01:10:51,200
Speaker 3: they operate in the building. But obviously the offense just

1483
01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 3: has to be better. And they have to find ways

1484
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 3: to get the middle of field opened up.

1485
01:10:56,960 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: Uh.

1486
01:10:57,240 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 3: And I don't know who that person's going to be.

1487
01:10:59,160 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 3: It might be it might be Ray sheet Rice, it

1488
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,679
Speaker 3: might be it's probably not Sky and Moore. Everyone's claiming

1489
01:11:04,720 --> 01:11:06,519
Speaker 3: for Justin Ross. I mean, I don't think the Chiefs

1490
01:11:06,560 --> 01:11:08,880
Speaker 3: go wide receiver in the trade market, and it's very

1491
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 3: unlikely that that happens. I know there's talk about that

1492
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:14,080
Speaker 3: all the time, but that's not what they do. I

1493
01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:15,880
Speaker 3: have faith they'll figure it out come on like it's

1494
01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:17,120
Speaker 3: they figure out every year.

1495
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,880
Speaker 2: By the way, brock perties passer rating this year not

1496
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,240
Speaker 2: only the best in the league, but I mean he is.

1497
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,720
Speaker 2: I mean, it helps to have Christian McCaffrey in your

1498
01:11:28,760 --> 01:11:30,160
Speaker 2: backfield though. That's amazing.

1499
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 3: He's the only running back that i've seen that's worth

1500
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 3: that big money right now, right because he does so

1501
01:11:37,560 --> 01:11:43,479
Speaker 3: much for them and he's worth it. The issue is

1502
01:11:43,840 --> 01:11:46,160
Speaker 3: right now, I'm gonna do the math because I'm gonna

1503
01:11:46,160 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 3: make sure I'm right on this. I believe he is

1504
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 3: on pay. I have actually I have an actual calculator

1505
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,800
Speaker 3: on my desk. It's not working right now. I believe

1506
01:11:52,840 --> 01:11:58,719
Speaker 3: he is on pace for three hundred and forty rushing

1507
01:11:58,760 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 3: attempts this season, right, which is wild. Yes, yes, three

1508
01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:06,360
Speaker 3: forty rushing up. He can't do that. You can't do that.

1509
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:09,160
Speaker 3: And then also have you know seventy five.

1510
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:13,640
Speaker 2: Receiving target l team that it did back in the

1511
01:12:13,720 --> 01:12:15,120
Speaker 2: day Ladanian Thomlinson did it.

1512
01:12:15,280 --> 01:12:16,559
Speaker 3: There's a couple of guys I looked at the list

1513
01:12:16,600 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 3: that've been about four hundred. It's hard to do.

1514
01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:20,960
Speaker 2: It's hard to do that well, especially when you have

1515
01:12:21,040 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 2: a history of injuries like he has. Yes, but how

1516
01:12:24,720 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 2: do you not want the ball in his hands? I mean,

1517
01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 2: I guess that's the problems.

1518
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 3: When they're playing well, when he keeps him in the game,

1519
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:31,639
Speaker 3: I'm like, dude, get him out of the game, Kyle,

1520
01:12:31,760 --> 01:12:34,160
Speaker 3: get him out, because if he goes out for a

1521
01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,320
Speaker 3: stated period of time, the offense is just much different, right,

1522
01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 3: and you lose kind of I think the dynamic nature

1523
01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:41,240
Speaker 3: of the multiple different options you have on that offense.

1524
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 2: All right. On the other side, again, you need to

1525
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 2: be listening to Jeff, you know, on Sunday mornings with

1526
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,559
Speaker 2: the guys, because he'll give you all his picks there

1527
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 2: on the countdown to kickoff. But but we're gonna get

1528
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 2: one game. I'm going to get one game out of you.

1529
01:12:57,560 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 2: A little sneak peek, okay, a little sampling of what's

1530
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,120
Speaker 2: to come tomorrow morning. Keep it right here for all

1531
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:08,479

1557
01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:34,759
Speaker 2: to find that Aj Preller is going nowhere as general

1558
01:14:34,800 --> 01:14:37,240
Speaker 2: manager of the pot right. Nope, nope, nope, Oh that's right.

1559
01:14:37,320 --> 01:14:41,160
Speaker 2: You're upset about that. Yeah, as well, you should be complacency.

1560
01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1561
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:44,240
Speaker 2: They actually ended up with a winning record. That's unbelievable.

1562
01:14:44,320 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 2: They had a losing record since May, and they finished

1563
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 2: the flourish to get to eighty two and eighty well,

1564
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,160
Speaker 2: they played some of the worst teams in the last

1565
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,479
Speaker 2: two weeks since they did take advantage of it, so

1566
01:14:54,680 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 2: it's a little inflated.

1567
01:14:57,280 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 3: I still playing at baseball in July. So team just

1568
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,000
Speaker 3: decided to just be the most boring team balls, which

1569
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:06,640
Speaker 3: was which was true because we had no good one

1570
01:15:06,680 --> 01:15:07,920
Speaker 3: good baseball player. He's a pitcher.

1571
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,639
Speaker 2: Well, you're gonna have a new manager, any choice there

1572
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:11,200
Speaker 2: at manager.

1573
01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:12,720
Speaker 3: Can Bruce Bochie come back?

1574
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,080
Speaker 2: He seems comfortable in that Texas Rangers. You know what's

1575
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 2: amazing about Boach. So obviously he's already done enough. He'll

1576
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:22,760
Speaker 2: be in the Hall of Fame once he's eligible. You

1577
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:28,080
Speaker 2: got to retire. But he actually had a losing career record. Yeah,

1578
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 2: it was actually below five hundred. So you know, now

1579
01:15:31,040 --> 01:15:32,720
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you know, he wins ninety games

1580
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 2: this year with Texas, another year like this and at

1581
01:15:35,080 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 2: least his career record will be over five hundred.

1582
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:40,760
Speaker 3: There's only a few coaches in baseball history that have

1583
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:44,280
Speaker 3: three championships and fifteen hundred wins. Correct, It's it's pretty

1584
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:47,599
Speaker 3: remarkable what he's done as a manager right so far.

1585
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:49,680
Speaker 2: Just so, he even got the pod race to a

1586
01:15:49,720 --> 01:15:52,400
Speaker 2: World Series, So believe me, he's as soon as he's

1587
01:15:52,479 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 2: eligible I finally retires, Bruce Bochie, along with guys like

1588
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,160
Speaker 2: Dusty Baker, will be a Hall of Famer.

1589
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 3: Championship though nothing he needed it, but it's nice that he.

1590
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 2: Dusty got one, absolutely one of the great guys. So yeah,

1591
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 2: we got some legendary managers out there all right, So Jeff,

1592
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,760
Speaker 2: obviously tomorrow morning, you guys are gonna be uh, you know,

1593
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,800
Speaker 2: shuffling all kinds of numbers out there, and yeah, you know,

1594
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 2: it's just so crazy. I mean when you look at

1595
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:23,840
Speaker 2: like that Chiefs Jets game, right, and Chiefs are struggling,

1596
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:27,320
Speaker 2: but in the end they get the scramble by Mahomes

1597
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,360
Speaker 2: and I think they were what eight point favorites eight

1598
01:16:30,360 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 2: and a half something like that.

1599
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:33,360
Speaker 3: It went from nine to a half down to seven

1600
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:33,839
Speaker 3: and half.

1601
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:38,599
Speaker 2: Right, and then he slides, Yeah, he slides. He could

1602
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:43,520
Speaker 2: have probably gotten into the end zone. He slid inbounds,

1603
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,839
Speaker 2: so they could just run out the clock. And obviously,

1604
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 2: if you're betting the Chiefs to cover, you go home

1605
01:16:50,040 --> 01:16:54,519
Speaker 2: a loser. Again, I watch a play like that and

1606
01:16:54,640 --> 01:16:56,479
Speaker 2: I just don't know how you do it. I don't

1607
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: know how you do it.

1608
01:16:57,320 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 3: I mean, imagine watching UCLA today. Yeah, I'm wondering how

1609
01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:04,160
Speaker 3: I do it. It's stinks. Game on sports stinks, and

1610
01:17:04,240 --> 01:17:07,160
Speaker 3: you do it anyways, So all.

1611
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:09,679
Speaker 2: Right, so let's let's let's I'm gonna ask you about

1612
01:17:09,680 --> 01:17:11,839
Speaker 2: one game because I was we were talking dadam Kaplan

1613
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:14,800
Speaker 2: about this game earlier. The Rams are four point dogs,

1614
01:17:14,840 --> 01:17:18,599
Speaker 2: at home, and I am hearing people jumping all over

1615
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,800
Speaker 2: the Rams of this, like the Eagles have underperformed. The

1616
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,160
Speaker 2: Rams are getting Cooper Cup back in this game. Poka

1617
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 2: Naku obviously has been an incredible rookie. Fine for this

1618
01:17:27,720 --> 01:17:30,640
Speaker 2: Rams team. Uh, they're sitting a tune too. I mean

1619
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 2: I predicted the Rams are going to be the worst

1620
01:17:32,240 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 2: team in the league. They're far from it, obviously. U

1621
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 2: any any feel for that game at all?

1622
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 3: No, I don't have a feel for for that one.

1623
01:17:40,160 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 3: That's not a wager I have made. I can give

1624
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 3: you a couple others that I had.

1625
01:17:44,200 --> 01:17:45,640
Speaker 2: All right, let's all right now. I don't want to

1626
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 2: give away everything.

1627
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 3: But what do you know? That's fine? So New Zealand's

1628
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 3: heard by one over the Saints. Yes, all right, you

1629
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,760
Speaker 3: know you mentioned the stat to Adam Kaplin's it's a

1630
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 3: four off as of touchdowns and.

1631
01:17:57,160 --> 01:17:59,400
Speaker 2: Four and for Yeah, last time the Saints started the

1632
01:17:59,479 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 2: season with four offensive touchdowns in their first four games

1633
01:18:02,280 --> 01:18:03,599
Speaker 2: was nineteen seventy five.

1634
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 3: So this is basically, if the Patriots do not win

1635
01:18:07,560 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 3: this game, this is the end of the Patriots. I

1636
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:11,519
Speaker 3: think the end is near anyways as we know it.

1637
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 3: But this is like it like this is the end

1638
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:17,000
Speaker 3: of the Patriots if they don't win this game against

1639
01:18:17,040 --> 01:18:21,280
Speaker 3: a beat up Saints team, against a quarterback that hasn't

1640
01:18:21,320 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 3: played well. I know you're out, Judon, I know you're out.

1641
01:18:24,920 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 3: You know, Christian Zalez, I get all those things. But

1642
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,519
Speaker 3: if you cannot win this game, just pack it up

1643
01:18:30,520 --> 01:18:33,479
Speaker 3: for the season, like it's done for the season. So

1644
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:37,120
Speaker 3: I think New England covers a one here. I'm pretty

1645
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 3: happy being on the Patriots in the spot I got.

1646
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:42,759
Speaker 2: The under is a low number thirty nine, but man smell.

1647
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:49,439
Speaker 3: Under feels very appropriate here as well. Mike Tomlin is

1648
01:18:49,600 --> 01:18:53,559
Speaker 3: thirteen six and two against the spread as a home

1649
01:18:53,680 --> 01:18:57,400
Speaker 3: underdog betting on the Titans and the Steelers. This home

1650
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: underdog is good business. Mike Rabel's incredible home dog the

1651
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:04,840
Speaker 3: Ravens and Steelers for the last five games they played

1652
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,479
Speaker 3: or within three points. I got the Steelers plus four.

1653
01:19:08,520 --> 01:19:10,960
Speaker 3: Got it's four and a half. Now, I know they

1654
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:12,800
Speaker 3: might not be able to pick it, but like, does

1655
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 3: it really matter. Trubisky is not going to play much

1656
01:19:14,680 --> 01:19:19,839
Speaker 3: worse than This is the division game, and the Steelers

1657
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,920
Speaker 3: did not play well last weekend. This they have their

1658
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 3: prideful team, private organization. They're playing their rival. I'm good

1659
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:29,559
Speaker 3: with with with with with getting a lot of points here, man,

1660
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 3: I'm fine with it.

1661
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:33,559
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that game. I mean again, Steelers

1662
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: have looked awful and they really I mean, Pickett is

1663
01:19:38,160 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 2: not played well that so many people are jumping on

1664
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 2: the Steeler hype going into the seasons. Tomlin wins. This

1665
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 2: is the perfect Tomlin game, right, Yeah, four and a

1666
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,120
Speaker 2: half point dog at home. If you know, Ravens are

1667
01:19:56,160 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 2: better and somehow he just sneaks out wins out there.

1668
01:20:00,840 --> 01:20:03,120
Speaker 2: Is Miami going to just blow the doors off the Giants?

1669
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:08,200
Speaker 3: Yes, I didn't blame the twelve or whatever, but it's

1670
01:20:08,200 --> 01:20:10,240
Speaker 3: gonna be bad because they just got blow out last time.

1671
01:20:10,240 --> 01:20:13,679
Speaker 2: What did the Bills do to shut down that Dolphins? Attack?

1672
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:18,960
Speaker 3: Physical Hittua, hit the wide receivers that you have to

1673
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 3: do against them. You have to just be physical.

1674
01:20:21,200 --> 01:20:23,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see if it happens again, Jeff. It is

1675
01:20:23,439 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 2: always an honor, it's always a pleasure. You'll be leading
