It was so awful, like the 171 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: Jets are never going to score, right, like the Dolphins 172 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: got it. Oh by the way, and you know a 173 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 1: flukey touchdown in the first half what he been at 174 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: x Jet runs? It was seven nothing? And I knew then, 175 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 1: like this is how smart. This is how I knew 176 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I'd be a great sports talk radio host. I knew 177 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: at that point the game was over once the Dolphins 178 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,040 Speaker 1: got in the end zone. Front, this game's over. We're 179 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: not full on bourbon, we're not scoring. 180 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 3: Dewey may not have defeated Truman, but he did beat 181 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 3: the Jets. 182 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: I still say, I really think Richard Todd completed more 183 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: passes to AJ Dewey than he did to his teammates 184 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: on that three interceptions were the guys. 185 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 4: I think that's what the Past Control Company was named after, 186 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: the dudey guys. 187 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: So John Harbaugh gets fired today. He goes in to 188 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: check the boiler room and there's boilers. He gets fired today. 189 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: And let me just remind you because I'd like to 190 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: say this, but you know, sometimes we're ahead of the 191 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: curve here on the show most of the time. We 192 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: told you in September that John Harball was coaching for 193 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: his job this year because if things didn't go well, 194 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 1: and this is when they started out poorly. They had 195 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: the big loss opening week and it looked like they 196 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: weren't even going to contend in the AFC North because 197 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: the Steelers got out to a big first few week 198 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: lead and the Ravens were sitting at one and three, 199 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: one and four. It looked awful. Hey, he's coaching for 200 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: his job. If this doesn't go well, he's gonna get fired. 201 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: Why because coming into this year where it was supposedly 202 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: the most talented Ravens roster, another failure, and a change 203 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 1: is going to have to be made because the only 204 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: two constants the entire run this last few years have 205 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: been John Harbaugh and Lamar Jackson, And you know, only 206 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:06,840 Speaker 1: one of them is gonna get that life raft. And 207 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: it was gonna be Lamar Jackson, right, it wasn't gonna 208 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 1: be them? Was it gonna be? John Harball got leoed No, 209 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 1: Rose said sorry, there's not enough room hit it. Uh 210 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 1: So you knew that was gonna happen because they weren't 211 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: gonna waste whatever prime years Lamar Jackson has left trying 212 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: to make it work again, especially when this year unfolded 213 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:33,320 Speaker 1: weirdly oddly? Was Lamar Jackson healthy? Was he not? Was 214 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: he really invested in the season? Was he invested in staying? 215 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,960 Speaker 1: All these weird stories came up about suddenly, oh, does 216 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 1: Lamar want to stay? Does Lamar want to play for for? 217 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,199 Speaker 1: Uh John Harball anymore? And these when stories like that 218 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: come out of nowhere, you know that there's some kind 219 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: of basis in it, there's some kind of okay, something 220 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: weird is happening behind closed doors. And then we got 221 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: the story today, Oh he had lost the locker room 222 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 1: a little bit and the players didn't want to play 223 00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: for him anymore. Look, whatever the reason is, it was irrelevant. 224 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: When Tyler loops kick went far right, John Harball was 225 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: getting fired. Now they waited a day because look it's 226 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 1: late Sunday night, we're coming in Monday. We want to 227 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 1: make sure we want to talk to him. We want 228 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: to dot our t's and dot our rise across our teas. Okay, 229 00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: so we'll make that announcement on Tuesday. So that was 230 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 1: always going to happen. I'm not surprised. I expected it 231 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: to happen. And even if they had won that game 232 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: and they lose next week, they could have made a change. 233 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: I can still see them saying, yeah, we weren't competitive 234 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:31,000 Speaker 1: in our second game, our first playoff game, so we're 235 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: out right. You had to do something because it seemed 236 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: like it was Lamar or John Harball. And you had 237 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 1: had eighteen years of John Harbor. You won a Super Bowl, 238 00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: you were a really good playoff team, you were a 239 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: yearly threat, but you just couldn't for whatever reason, you 240 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: just couldn't get it done. And there were different reasons 241 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: every year why the Ravens lost. Whether it's drop passes, 242 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 1: it's miskicks, it's Lamar Jackson turnovers. It's not the same 243 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: every year. It's something different. But hey, what's the constant 244 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 1: Lamar and John Harball. So you knew Harball was going 245 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 1: to go I'm not surprised that happened today. It had 246 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: to happen because whatever it is, you need new ideas 247 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: in there once in a while, right, no matter what 248 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,679 Speaker 1: kind of coach you are, there's got to be some 249 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: sort of new ideas that come in. And that's what 250 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: the Ravens need. 251 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 3: Now. 252 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: They have some guys out there, They have some dudes 253 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: out there they could go get, whether it's Tofan Ski, 254 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: whether it's Forheemr somebody else, but they need new ideas 255 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,720 Speaker 1: and need someone that is going to rejuvenate that team 256 00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: and be able to say, hey, we are now going 257 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,480 Speaker 1: to get this new influx of energy and we can 258 00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: do it well. Right. Lamar Jackson refused to endorse John 259 00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: Harball following the game. Right, when that happens, you know 260 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 1: something's going on. And whatever role Lamar Jackson had in 261 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: the firing, whether it's a big role, whether it was 262 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,600 Speaker 1: the opinion that put it over the top, whether it 263 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: was a tiny roll, this was not unexpected, and it 264 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: was going to happen. We knew it. Even if Lamar 265 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: Jackson said, now I want to keep John Harbaugh, I 266 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: don't know that that would have been enough. But like 267 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 1: this decision was going to happen no matter what, we 268 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: were going to get to this point where Harbar is 269 00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: out looking for a job and the Ravens are looking 270 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: to jump start their team. 271 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: In the end, you get eighteen years. That super Bowl's 272 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 3: long in the rear view mirror. You've got however long 273 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: you know, Lamar's at peak Lamar, and even if that's gone, 274 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 3: but we have that report from the Baltimore Sun about 275 00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 3: playing video games, falling asleep in meetings. Now he did 276 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 3: at that point go you think hardball's let me do that, right, 277 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,440 Speaker 3: that kind of thing, and literally stood up there, going 278 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:29,079 Speaker 3: he's in control of stuff, Come on now, and to 279 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 3: his own you know, backing his own history and his 280 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 3: own work ethic in that process. But to the point 281 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 3: of the postgame part of it was I don't want 282 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 3: to talk about it. It's like all the other players 283 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: that were asked about coaches getting fired or their job stability, 284 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: you know, too soon. I'm just hearing about this right. 285 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 3: We had that from Nevada, we had that with Cleveland, 286 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: Shador Sanders. I'm just hearing about it. I don't know, 287 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 3: I don't know how to write. Lamar is like we 288 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 3: just lost, I mean deflection as opposed to no, we 289 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 3: need to run it back, we need to fix what's wrong, 290 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 3: and so you leave it hanging in the balance. But 291 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 3: for all of it, it was a loser leaves town match. 292 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,679 Speaker 3: And firmly believe that whether you know, with Pittsburgh it 293 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 3: might have been a more mutual parting of the ways, 294 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 3: but in this case, yeah, you're done. A lot of 295 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: questionable decisions made, the roster ill constructed, and this is 296 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 3: where we get into all, right, how much does he 297 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 3: pick the groceries? Offensive line had its issues going away 298 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 3: from Derrick Henry if key points of big games huge, 299 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,240 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson banged up and still fighting through. It's like 300 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 3: we talked about with Joe Burrow, guys that want to 301 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,080 Speaker 3: be on the field. Otherwise they could have shut it down, right, 302 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: It would have been very easy the way things were going. 303 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 3: Remember they were one in five going into the buy. 304 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:50,440 Speaker 3: Who'd they come out and play and beaten that? After 305 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 3: that bye week, the Bears and the run game and 306 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 3: a couple of big plays in the passing game. But 307 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: all of that to say, you know, for for John Harbaugh, 308 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,600 Speaker 3: I mean, eighteen years is the hell of a run. 309 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 3: And we've seen it in the past. I know, the 310 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 3: equivalents of Andy Reid's been out there and from his 311 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: time with the Eagles and then moving on and becoming 312 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 3: the chiefs legend that he was. But for John Harbaugh, yeah, 313 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 3: it's time new voices, new ways of doing business. And 314 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 3: he'll be curious with Bishati who'd done it before. Eventually 315 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 3: you move. 316 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: On exit at about a Fresca exit Swollen Dome.

The entire 360 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: trailer is Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen playing chess, a 361 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: very old magneto and then the end it's you got 362 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 1: James Martin and his cyclops and his eyes just explode. 363 00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: You want to know, and I've said this from the beginning, 364 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: what's going to save the MCU, Because as great as 365 00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: the first four phases were, this last fifth phase that 366 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: was the last few years has been awful. The multiverse 367 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: was was in a complete bomb.

The casting for the Avengers was great. 372 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 1: It was the right time for comic book movies to 373 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:28,120 Speaker 1: blow up, but the X Men was always more popular. 374 00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 1: And I've always said, after this, you can't keep giving 375 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: me Avengers, and aren't the Avengers. The Avengers is Iron 376 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: Man and Captain America and the Hulk and the Black 377 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: Widow and Hawkey.

That's why I'm excited about Doomsday because 434 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 3: I wonder if we're going to do these two Doomsday 435 00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 3: Avengers movies, and they're going to introduce a lot of 436 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 3: new characters into the MCU. 437 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: The Secret Wars it's the movie coming after that. They're 438 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 1: going to introduce a lot of characters. So I wonder 439 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:32,600 Speaker 1: if that's going to be their way of, Hey, we're 440 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 1: kind of putting a bow on the Avengers because we've 441 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: tried to make it work, you know, in different ways 442 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: coming off of the end of Endgame, and it just 443 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 1: hasn't worked right. 444 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 3: Well I can say is if you disparage the good 445 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 3: name of Florence Pugh again, you and me are Look. 446 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,919 Speaker 1: Look, look hey, Black Widow one of the more underrated 447 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: movies in the end. I love Black Widow. It was 448 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: just it was a difficult time. It wasn't you know. 449 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:57,120 Speaker 1: You had all the fights with with Scarlett Johansson over 450 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 1: the movie coming out and then the payment and then 451 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: it was going to be made. It was tough, right, 452 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: was still like the back end of the Pandemic. But 453 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:06,640 Speaker 1: that was a very underrated movie. But again, the Avengers 454 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 1: of the event. I love Florence Peugh, I love Florence Pier, 455 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,639 Speaker 1: I love Whyatt Russell like I love, but they're not 456 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: the Avenger. The Avengers are so iconic, but they got 457 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: all the casting right with everybody from Sam Jackson intro 458 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,120 Speaker 1: when Sam Jackson introduced the event.

And 493 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: and to try to figure out I feel like they're 494 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: just throwing stuff up against the wall trying to see 495 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 1: what sticks. And for the most part it still did 496 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 1: pretty well. I mean the box office and residents. Do 497 00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: they get quoted the same, No, did they sell the 498 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 1: cable the same? Way, no do you do you necessarily 499 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 1: know who's that actor? And he was in the Marvel universe. 500 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:03,960 Speaker 1: Wait he showed up? 501 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 3: Where was he? 502 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: Yeah? 503 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 3: All right, Oh he was in Secret Wars for a minute. 504 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 3: Oh good, yeah, good Sam Jackson leading the charge there. 505 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,119 Speaker 3: But but all of that to say, you know, in 506 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: the absence of you know, Filet Mignon, you're going to 507 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: take some ground. 508 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:23,359 Speaker 1: Chuck, ground chuck. And now I just think of the Seahawks. 509 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: They were ground Chuck, Chuck Knox the offensive ben They 510 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:27,120 Speaker 1: ran the ball with Kurt Warner. 511 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 3: The first orner with the sea. 512 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, the good one, oh eighty nine. 513 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 3: Yea, look what you did there? 514 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:42,399 Speaker 1: So big in the NFL today, And look, this is 515 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: going to be difficult, and I really you know, look, 516 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: I want everybody to listen, but I really hope my 517 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: wife's family is not listening. So today the Lions parted 518 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:52,359 Speaker 1: ways with John Morton, their offensive coordinator. 519 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 2: Uh. 520 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: This felt inevitable when midway through the season he was 521 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: stripped of his plate calling duty. So if you're not 522 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:59,479 Speaker 1: the OC and you're calling you're not calling plays, what 523 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: kind of few do you have? Dan Campbell started calling 524 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 1: the plays. Things got better a little bit. But in 525 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: the end, the Lions underachieved out of the playoffs. 526 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: I know that. 527 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: Look, I know that in theory, their offensive line was 528 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: dinged up, right, it was it was hard, right. You 529 00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: lost a couple of guys, You lost a couple of guys. 530 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,320 Speaker 1: You lost one guy to retirement you thought was coming back. 531 00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 1: He didn't come back. You had some offensive line flux. 532 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,480 Speaker 1: And there is a little bit of twenty twenty one 533 00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 1: Chiefs in there where, Hey, if you go out and 534 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 1: spend money on the offensive line in the offseason and 535 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: you're making things a little bit easier for your offense, 536 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 1: you're back, right, You're back. You need that physicality because 537 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 1: that today rand teams over to go. No further look 538 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: at the year David Montgomery had right like Jamior Gibbs, 539 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: it's it's, you know, home run guy, one of the 540 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: more most talented running backs in the game, top two, 541 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: top three player. But it worked when they had Sonic 542 00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:52,959 Speaker 1: and Knuckles and Montgomery need needing more space, needing more holes. 543 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 1: You know, he's kind of a one cut and go guy. 544 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: You saw that. You know, he quite didn't have the 545 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: same impact on the games, and that can be traced 546 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 1: to the fact that their offensive line was banged up. 547 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't the same. They weren't as physically imposing as 548 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: they are now. All that being said, it seems like 549 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: it's a quick step back for the Lions. It's not. 550 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 1: They're on a three year decline. They hit it really big, 551 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,479 Speaker 1: really quickly, because all of their young talent came together 552 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 1: and they were half from the super Bowl. Then they 553 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: were favorites to get to the super Bowl and they 554 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: couldn't get passed a quick deficit against the Commanders and 555 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:31,920 Speaker 1: the playoffs never got past that. I don't know they've 556 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 1: ever gotten past that loss, to be quite honest. This 557 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,479 Speaker 1: year and now this year they fall to not they 558 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: are on a three year decline from where they went 559 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: where where the first year record wise, it wasn't quite 560 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: the same, but first year NFC Championship game. Second year 561 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,679 Speaker 1: they lose the first playoff game. This year they're barely 562 00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 1: five hundred and they missed the playoffs. This window for 563 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: the Lions is closed. And it seems weird to say this, 564 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: but it's I kind of feel like they're almost too 565 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: high high power offensively, and some of that is preventing 566 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 1: them from spreading some money around defensively and elsewhere where 567 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: they need to, because they have a lot of weapons 568 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: and you simply can't use them all. Right, I think 569 00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: part of a paralysis by analysis with the Lions offense because, okay, 570 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 1: when they first came about, right when the Lions first 571 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: got good, what was their offense? Aman Rossaint Brown was 572 00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 1: a star, he's becoming a star receiver. Okay, great, and 573 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: you had David Montgomery was your number one running back 574 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: and Jamier Gibbs coming in. You're expecting big things from him, 575 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: but it was clearly Montgomery's backfield gives a change of pace. Guy. Okay, 576 00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 1: Over the course the next couple of years, what happened. 577 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 1: They draft Jamison Williams, he sits a year because of 578 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: the injury. He comes in, he's a guy that needs 579 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 1: the football. You get lucky with Sam Laporta comes in 580 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,719 Speaker 1: as a rookie. Wow, best tight under the NFL in 581 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: fifteen years, and this year you weren't even starting him 582 00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 1: in fantasy the last half of the season. There's so 583 00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,040 Speaker 1: many choices on the Lions offense now, it's hard to 584 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: keep everybody happy and productive and satisfied. There's too many 585 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: mouths to feed, right, because now you have Okay, Jamiir 586 00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: Gibbs is the guy, and he was great, but now 587 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 1: David Montgomery offensive line issues. He wasn't as great. Jamison 588 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: Williams got that big contract, but does he really affect 589 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: the game some Every other game has two receptions for 590 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: twenty five yards? Right, I'm on, Ross Saint Brown's a star. 591 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 1: Sam Laporter was great his first year, disappeared a second year. 592 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:29,360 Speaker 1: Sometimes there's a thing is having too much talent when 593 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 1: it comes to you got to keep guys in the 594 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: flow of the game, be able to contribute, be able 595 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: to stay in a positive frame of mind, and have 596 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 1: a plan offensively of saying this is what we're going 597 00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: to do, because if you have two possessions, we haven't 598 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:45,119 Speaker 1: gotten the ball. I'm on Ross Saint Brown. I guess well, 599 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,320 Speaker 1: we got to force the ball to him now because 600 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,679 Speaker 1: he hasn't seen the ball in the last twelve plays. 601 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: Why is he not seeing the football? Jamier gives him 602 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: an out of the game now for the last two drives. 603 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: He's got to get back in the game. We got 604 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 1: to get him the football. When there's a lot of 605 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 1: mouths to feed, sometimes you can lose your flow offensively. 606 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: Ben Johnson was able to handle it for the most part, 607 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: but now moving out John Morton, now they couldn't handle it. 608 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 1: If I'm the Lions, I try to find a way 609 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,800 Speaker 1: to say, Okay, could I make it work with Isaac 610 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,959 Speaker 1: Teslaw as my second receiver? 611 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah? 612 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,239 Speaker 1: If I have a little bit deeper at number two, 613 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: number three, four receivers behind, I'm on ross any Brown, Okay, 614 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: Jamison Williams is a luxury. 615 00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:21,400 Speaker 3: Right? 616 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,439 Speaker 1: Is Sam Laporte is still a great tight end? Or 617 00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: was he a guy that had a great rookie year 618 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: because of the offense he was in and now and 619 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,000 Speaker 1: they could stop him, He's not that great anymore. Right, Like, 620 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,200 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things I think the Lions need 621 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: to do, but they're gonna stick with this offensive corps 622 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,960 Speaker 1: because clearly, why wouldn't you because you have all this talent. 623 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: But I really think there's too much in there. And 624 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,600 Speaker 1: the offense was so much stop and go over the 625 00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: course of the season because you couldn't really flow. You 626 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: didn't really have Your identity is your identity? We run 627 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: the football great, we throw the football grade. What's your superpower? 628 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 4: Right? 629 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 1: What do we do well? We're a full service offense. Well, 630 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:56,840 Speaker 1: not quite, because you saw games where a lot of 631 00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,000 Speaker 1: these guys were not playing well, and you scored ten 632 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: points less a game this year, then you had more 633 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: talent than you've ever had in theory. So it's weird 634 00:29:04,920 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: to say that, but I feel like a little bit 635 00:29:07,280 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: less if you had a little bit more linear view 636 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: of the offense saying this is where we go with 637 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:14,640 Speaker 1: the football. These are our top two or three guys, 638 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:16,720 Speaker 1: because look at teams that win the Super Bowl. It's 639 00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,640 Speaker 1: not teams that come in with a we got guys 640 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 1: you can't cover all over the field. It seems, hey, 641 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: we have a number one running back, you have a 642 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 1: star wide receiver, we have a really good tight end. 643 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: That's what we do right offense, Like, that's what it is. 644 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 1: We have two good wide receivers, we go to them, right, 645 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: we throw the ball with them. That's kind of what 646 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: we do. We run the ball, we have to. We 647 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: have a dual threat quarterback that we'll run a little bit, 648 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: but we don't really run the ball that much. It's 649 00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 1: so much offensively for the Lions. I feel like you 650 00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 1: pare down a little bit and that would make things go, 651 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: but they're not gonna do that because they're gonna stick 652 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: with this talent and try to make it work again. 653 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you had a bunch of things. And 654 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 3: I'll get to the punchline in a minute, because there 655 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,320 Speaker 3: is one with this story. I'm sorry the guy lost 656 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 3: his job, but well let's go to his history in 657 00:29:55,720 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: a minute. But you're looking at I mean, Laporta was 658 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 3: little involved in spots, required to block a bit more. 659 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:05,440 Speaker 3: Then he had to have a backie out of me. 660 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: What's he come back as like? You don't know. You 661 00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,120 Speaker 3: look at the offensive line, Well, they were hamstrung at 662 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: draft time because they thought Ragnow was coming back and 663 00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:19,600 Speaker 3: instead he's got to disappear as of June, right, and 664 00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:21,360 Speaker 3: that was the end, and he was going to try 665 00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 3: to make the heroic comeback, but he had a Grade 666 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,920 Speaker 3: three rip his leg right, so that doesn't work. Defensively, 667 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 3: you didn't have any depths, so you started to have 668 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 3: attrition in the back seven and it didn't work. Aiden 669 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 3: Hutchinson's there and you've got a couple of pieces on 670 00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 3: your defensive line, but your back seven was just rife 671 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 3: with injuries and there was nothing there, so you were 672 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 3: able to just attack from much of the game. But 673 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 3: a lot of it starts with the offensive line. And 674 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,080 Speaker 3: I know people want to go after Jared Goff as 675 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,560 Speaker 3: it's low hanging fruit. And was he great consistently, No, 676 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,600 Speaker 3: but still had a very good season overall. To your point, 677 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,560 Speaker 3: you know, to pick your poison and try to make 678 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:03,080 Speaker 3: sure every but he's getting fed in the offense. A 679 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 3: bit tougher for David Montgomery if you're not gonna go 680 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,120 Speaker 3: the full lean in game with him. He's not a 681 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 3: guy that three or four carries are gonna do it. No, right, 682 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:14,600 Speaker 3: it's not that Traveon Henderson. Oh it's his first carry 683 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:16,560 Speaker 3: at the day, he's off Rady. No, he's like the 684 00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 3: Derrick Henry. It's the slow all right, Carrie twelve. He's 685 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 3: beating the hell out of you. The offensive line is 686 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,880 Speaker 3: getting a little bit of road grading going on, and 687 00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 3: then all of a sudden, the junk yardage is there. Meanwhile, 688 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 3: Jamir Gibbs, as a runner or a receiver, can hit 689 00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 3: you at any time. Now back to mister Morton, I 690 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 3: think the Lions to a degree went with the old 691 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 3: X jet now good philosophy, as he was once upon 692 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 3: a time. Their coordinator went through Vegas and thought they 693 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: were gonna come clear out the other side. Yeah, and 694 00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 3: instead this is what you got. 695 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 1: Exit op out of Fresca, exit swallow up again.

You can't get in that flow that 699 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 1: you were in. 700 00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 2: Uh. 701 00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,680 Speaker 1: Timea to find out what's trending in the wide world 702 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:10,680 Speaker 1: of sports.

Hey, 804 00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,319 Speaker 1: we're gonna even the day off, man, It's all right, 805 00:37:20,400 --> 00:37:26,719 Speaker 1: We're good. Uh. The Pacers have now lost thirteen in 806 00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: a row, and Rick Carlisle has been stuck at nine 807 00:37:31,080 --> 00:37:35,920 Speaker 1: hundred and ninety nine career wins since December eighth, again 808 00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:37,600 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five. 809 00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:41,399 Speaker 3: So what's up on the schedule next? What do we got? 810 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:46,080 Speaker 1: His next chance to play is Thursday, which would it's 811 00:37:46,160 --> 00:37:51,040 Speaker 1: at Charlotte, So maybe the six and thirty one Pacers 812 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,279 Speaker 1: can win that game. After that, you got the Heat 813 00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:58,000 Speaker 1: at home, you got the Celtics at home, the Raptors 814 00:37:58,040 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: at home, then you got New Orleans at home, then 815 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: you're at Detroit. So maybe Thursday against Charlotte might be 816 00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: your best chance to get that win. And I say maybe, 817 00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,600 Speaker 1: any I mean, maybe that's your best chance to get 818 00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:14,279 Speaker 1: to win. But you are now going to be a 819 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: full month in between wins in the NBA, And I mean, 820 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,440 Speaker 1: and think about what that's like.
