1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,120 --> 00:00:04,520
Speaker 2: All right.

3
00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 3: It was a photo finish for one and a season

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,680
Speaker 3: finished for another. We'll get to that at just about

5
00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 3: a minute. Good morning, everybody. It's that time, the time

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 3: you can't wait for. I know it. It's Fox Football

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 3: Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. He's Bucky Brooks. I made

8
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 3: the form and we're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: Radio studios. And away we go, introducing my partner and friend,

10
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: the man who is the evil Empire with the Jacksonville

11
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 3: Jaguars One only Bucky Brooks. Hello, Buck, how are you?

12
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 4: I'm good, Andy, I am really good. Got in late,

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 4: so I didn't get a chance to catch up with

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 4: you to hang out in person.

15
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 5: But I'm in your city.

16
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 4: I am donning the black today because I am evidently

17
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 4: the villain because here we are in Cincinnati and we

18
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 4: get to square off against the Bingles, your beloved Bingles.

19
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 3: That is well. You know I still love you no

20
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 3: matter what happens. The outcome of the game is secondary

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 3: to our friendship. And I'll say one other thing. Are

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 3: you on the field during the game.

23
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I'm right on the field. I am.

24
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,399
Speaker 4: I'll be down on the sideline, so right behind the team,

25
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 4: kep doing my thing.

26
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 5: So it should be a lot of fun.

27
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: So I could pump you throughout this show, like some

28
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: inside facts and some scattering reports that you may have.

29
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: I'll do my very best. I'll work on it anyway.

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: I want to get into the college games if we

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 3: can right now, and I think one of the most

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: well look I will the scheduled. Yesterday I said, I

33
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 3: don't know, is it going to be a big day,

34
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 3: a good day? But it turned out to be some

35
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 3: several exciting ballgames. And one of the games I want

36
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 3: to touch on right now is number three LSU, a

37
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 3: twenty ten winner with Florida. And like the game, really,

38
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: I mean, I look at these crowds, Buck, I really,

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 3: I'm not familiar with the South like you play North Carolina.

40
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's tough getting the ticket. I looked at

41
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: the game last night. I said, there are more people

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 3: at that LSU game with Florida than there will be

43
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 3: this afternoon with the Jacksonville Cincinnati game. It's unreal how

44
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 3: football lives in the South. It's crazy, is it really is?

45
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 5: Yeah?

46
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 4: I mean, look, there's a lot of living and dying

47
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 4: by what takes place on Saturday down in the South.

48
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: And the thing.

49
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 4: About the South and particularly the SEC particularly they talk

50
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 4: about it's a little different. It is one different down

51
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 4: there in terms of the way they get down, what

52
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 4: they look forward to, they go about doing their business.

53
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 4: To me, it's exciting to watch it take place because

54
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 4: you get a chance to see people really get passionate

55
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: about their teams. Uh, the fan bases are into it,

56
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: and the robberies are real. They extend beyond just what

57
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: it is on the on the gridiron. These people really

58
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 4: do not mess with detail.

59
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 5: If you have the wrong colors.

60
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: On not even that.

61
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they had that big lottery join the power

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 3: ball the other day, like one point nine billion dollars,

63
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 3: and they asked some woman down and down the South,

64
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,519
Speaker 3: I think it was in Alabama, what would you do

65
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 3: if you won? She said, I would buy out the

66
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: contract that Keillen de Bore, the coach of Alabama.

67
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: I mean, really, it's unreal.

68
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 3: I mean it's it's unbelievable passionate and love to have

69
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 3: a football.

70
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 2: But I'm going back to this LSU.

71
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: Game and even the media is in that is the

72
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: same vein the LSU wins twenty ten. They go three

73
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,640
Speaker 3: and zero. Florida began the game. There was like a

74
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: fight on the sidelines. It was somewhat ugly over there.

75
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,799
Speaker 3: The defense of LSU. It just said that the quarterback

76
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 3: DJ Langway five times. The defensive LSU again held their

77
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: opponent to ten points or less. It's unbelievable. And they

78
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 3: win the ball game. And what happens after the game.

79
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 3: Brian Kelly has to go nuts on the media. Let's

80
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: take a listen to coach BK after the game.

81
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 6: You love these immediate postgame sessions, but what are you

82
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 6: seeing with your offense?

83
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: Stop?

84
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 7: Really is that the first question? We won the game

85
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 7: twenty to ten. Try another question. What do you want

86
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 7: me to tell you? I just laid it out for you.

87
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 7: We played the game to win the game. We played

88
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 7: the game to win the game.

89
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 6: All right, how about third down?

90
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: Then?

91
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 6: What is going on with third down?

92
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 7: It's one game. The last game we were great on

93
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 7: third down. You micro, you're looking at this from the

94
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 7: wrong perspective. LSU won the football game, won the game.

95
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 7: I don't know what.

96
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 5: You want from me.

97
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: What do you want?

98
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 7: You want us to win seventy to nothing against Florida?

99
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 5: To keep you happy.

100
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 6: No, I think people want to know why you can't

101
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 6: run the ball.

102
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 7: Quite well, we can run the ball. Did you see

103
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,159
Speaker 7: the last play of the game. That's all you need,

104
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 7: You just need one. There's a ridiculous questions and I'm getting.

105
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 6: Tired of it.

106
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 7: That football team just worked their tail off to get

107
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 7: an SEC win.

108
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,920
Speaker 5: And you want to know what's wrong. You know what.

109
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: You're spoiled. You're spoiled.

110
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 7: This team is seventeen and one at night, seventeen and one.

111
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 2: Give them some respect.

112
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 5: How about that?

113
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 7: Give them some respect instead of micro analyzing every little thing.

114
00:04:53,440 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 7: This is ridiculous for a group of seasoned reporters. A

115
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 7: question is so out of line.

116
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 3: I love it.

117
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: I love it.

118
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 3: I mean, BK going off. He was more entertaining than

119
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: the game. He really was. But you know what, Beck,

120
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 3: I think that these media people are just an extension

121
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 3: of the fan base.

122
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: They really are. I mean, what do you want?

123
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 3: And neus Meyer Garrett Nusmar, the quarterback of LSUI fifteen

124
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: to twenty seven to two hundred twenty yards, had a touchdown,

125
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: but still in old The bottom line is you one?

126
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 3: I mean we'll get into that. Bengal game again a

127
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,680
Speaker 3: little later on todayains Jacksonville. Joe Burrow had a poor game.

128
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 3: Their offense stunk last week against the Browns. It was

129
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 3: a defense that I wanted. But you know what, at

130
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 3: the end of the day, at w's a w and

131
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,600
Speaker 3: these media people, I don't know if they're either stupid

132
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 3: or they just want to start some garbage with the coach.

133
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 3: But you know, Brian Kelly was right on there album

134
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 3: mit his corner.

135
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 4: I mean, he is right to a point, but there

136
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: is something going on. You can't be LSU and have

137
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 4: a player who's projected as maybe the number one overall

138
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 4: pick in the draft and Greg Garrett must Meyer. You

139
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 4: can't have multiple guys who people are projecting to be

140
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,480
Speaker 4: future first round picks on the perimeter. You can't have

141
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 4: dominant offensive linemen and running backs and not put numbers up.

142
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 4: I mean, I think there's a reasonable expectation at LSU

143
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 4: that you put numbers up on the board, that you

144
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: dominate the game in the trenches, and that even though

145
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: it's a conference game, it's Florida, there's an eyeball test

146
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: that you must pass.

147
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 5: Brian Kelly's been around.

148
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: Enough ball to know that he's coached prominent football programs

149
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: to know that, look, Rabbit fan bases have high standards

150
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 4: and high expectations. He's been over a decade at Notre Dame,

151
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: and he had to deal with being in the Fishbowl

152
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 4: and dealing with the weekly outside expectations at that place.

153
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: He has been at LSU long enough to understand.

154
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 4: Man, down in the Bayou, they live and die by

155
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 4: what the Bengals do, by what the Tigers are doing

156
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 4: on those weekends, and so he has to understand that

157
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 4: he has to meet them that way. He has to

158
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 4: be prepared for those questions. To me, he was grand standing.

159
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 5: As opposed to asking a question, how come.

160
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 4: You're not dominating the way that you should dominate with

161
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 4: the kind of talent that you have at your dispose.

162
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: Well, you know, at the end of the day, I

163
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: mean the national writers, I think when they're voting, I

164
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 3: don't think they look at the games. They look at

165
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: the scores, and they look at the w's and the l's.

166
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 3: That's what they look at. I mean the local writers

167
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: know that. I mean they see what's going on. Yeah,

168
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: there could be a question on the offensive side of

169
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 3: the football, but again, they won the game, and this

170
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 3: is the same Florida team that beat LIU what fifty

171
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: five nothing two weeks ago, the team from Brooklyn. I mean,

172
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 3: come on. And by the way, lu beat Eastern Michigan

173
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: last week at the s School, the first time in

174
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 3: the history of that school doing that. So you know,

175
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 3: maybe there's something cooking over there. But Florida right now, down,

176
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 3: I mean, it's over. But you talk about Notre Dame

177
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 3: and Brian Kelly did, coach of Notre Dame, what a

178
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 3: heartbreaker yesterday? Forty one forty They lose yesterday to Texas

179
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 3: A and M. On a crazy play. The backup quarterback

180
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: who's a holder, couldn't handle the perfect snap for an

181
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: extra point, drops the ball and all of a sudden

182
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 3: there was a two point conversion, leaving Notre Dame a

183
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 3: lead about six points with about two minutes ago, two

184
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 3: and a half minutes to go, and Texas A and

185
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 3: M and the next possession go down the field, fourth

186
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 3: down on the eleven yard line.

187
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 2: Boom they score.

188
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: They go for the extra point, but a bang, but

189
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: a bang forty one forty not youre Dame right now?

190
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 2: Oh and two oh and two.

191
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 4: Look, it's unfortunate for Marcus Freeman's team that they are. Look,

192
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: they're winless right now, but they played good teams. When

193
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 4: you play good teams, that's what you put your self

194
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 4: at risk at. What you're hoping is that long term,

195
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 4: it's that's your team of her success down the road,

196
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,959
Speaker 4: they take lessons from the losses and they become a

197
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 4: much better team. The problem that you may have is

198
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 4: you've now eliminated all of your margin for air when

199
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 4: it comes to the college football playoff. I'm not saying

200
00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 4: that Notre Dame has to run the table to make it,

201
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,319
Speaker 4: but boy, they're gonna have to run it almost completely

202
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 4: to be able to get it. It's hard to imagine

203
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 4: a three loss Notre Dame chain getting in.

204
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 5: But it depends on the rest of the landscape.

205
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 4: The only thing that they can do right now is

206
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 4: they got to focus on one game at a time.

207
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 4: They got to get better and better and better and

208
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 4: see what it looks like at the end.

209
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:19,119
Speaker 5: But yeah, a very.

210
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 4: Disappointing start to the season for the national run Arts.

211
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: Okay, let me run this by because I think that

212
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: right now, media fans, I mean, on campus, this guy

213
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,240
Speaker 3: Tyler Buck, He's got to be living in shame. I mean,

214
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 3: they're gonna be pointing fingers at him. He's going to

215
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 3: get the social media post that he lost the game.

216
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 3: But if you look behind the curtain, you'll say, yeah,

217
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: I mean it was a devastating loss and he was

218
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 3: part of it. But that defense gave up like four

219
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: hundred and eighty eight four ninety yards yesterday in that

220
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 3: ball game. And I ask you this question, is it

221
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: a problem now that the loss of Al Golden, the

222
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator who left not to day to go to

223
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 3: the Cincinnati Bengals, Is that the big difference or losing person?

224
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 5: I mean, look, I think the combination of actors.

225
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 4: Right You lose NFL players, you lose an NFL defensive coordinator,

226
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 4: and it takes time to replace those things. And the

227
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 4: one thing that college football doesn't give you, it doesn't

228
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: give you the benefit of a preseason game to kind

229
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 4: of quickly accelerate the growth of your squad. And because

230
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 4: you don't have those preseason games, you're learning your squad

231
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 4: in real time. They're also learning you and the schemes

232
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 4: and those things. And you know, there's nothing that can

233
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 4: replace time on task, nothing that can replace repetition. Right now,

234
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: they just don't have enough reps to fully understand all

235
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: the ins and outs of the scheme, and it hurts

236
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 4: them because what you would like to do is you

237
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 4: like to win and learn. You don't like doing the

238
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: losing and learning because it didn't put your playoff hopes

239
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 4: and jeopardy.

240
00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 3: I hear what you're saying. Now, this team is three

241
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 3: and oh, one and oh in the ACC. No one

242
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 3: expected that, I don't think. But every year there's a

243
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 3: coach that comes out of the woodwork and they say

244
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 3: he's going to be the next whatever. And I gotta

245
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 3: believe the coach this year is to be Brent Key

246
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 3: from Georgia Tech. I think the guy is like putting

247
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 3: Georgia Tech on the map. They win yesterday, beating up

248
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: on Clemson twenty four to twenty one. But maybe in

249
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 3: fact Clemson's not that good this year. We'll see. But

250
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 3: I did say coming into this segment that one team

251
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 3: is finished for the year, and I gotta believe that

252
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 3: team is Clemson. I mean, you talk about Note Dame's

253
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 3: got to almost win the table, Clemson's finished as well.

254
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 3: Clemson's done. I mean, really, and as far as Davos

255
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 3: Sweeney's concerned, you got to get back into the portal.

256
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:37,560
Speaker 3: This is the first year I believe he was looking

257
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: into the portal. He didn't believe in the port You

258
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 3: got to get in the portal. You know when in Rome,

259
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 3: do what the Romans do. You want to be competitive,

260
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 3: Get in the portal, get some players, you got backing,

261
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: you got fans over there. They're gonna put up the money.

262
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 3: Otherwise he ain't gonna win. That's the problem with Clemson.

263
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 3: So Clemson's done this year twenty four to twenty one

264
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 3: to Georgia Tech, a heartbreaking laws. Of course, they lose

265
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 3: on a fifty five yard field goal of the buzzer.

266
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: But that's just the way it is now.

267
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 4: I hear you, and there are a lot of people

268
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 4: that are kind of beating this drum about Clemson and

269
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 4: getting in the portal.

270
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 5: That's it.

271
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 4: I understand why Dabbo has been reluctant to get into

272
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 4: the portal. His model and what he knows to be

273
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: true for himself. He is better with kids that are

274
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 4: committed to being in the program as opposed to taking

275
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 4: flyers on mercenaries. For all of the successful stories that

276
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 4: we hear about, this player transferred here and it was

277
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 4: great for the team and him. More of the stories

278
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 4: are not like that. There's an issue typically when people

279
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 4: are leaving, are they running from a level of accountability

280
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 4: or is it truly a greater opportunity to go somewhere else.

281
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 4: Those things have to be factored in because if their

282
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: mind's not right, if they aren't in it.

283
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 5: For the team.

284
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 4: While also like hunting a big payday, man that it

285
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 4: clothes and so for Clemson, who's had a lot of

286
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 4: success dealing with the homegrown model, I can understand why

287
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 4: Dabbo is slow to bring those things into the program

288
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 4: because it threatens Director Core if you don't get it right.

289
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: Amazing, they're one and two Georgia Tech on one hundred

290
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: and forty seven yards rushing one hundred and three from

291
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,560
Speaker 3: their quarterback Haines King.

292
00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 2: It didn't look good.

293
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 3: I mean they look they could have won, and maybe

294
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: they should have won. And I'm not saying maybe Georgia

295
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,840
Speaker 3: Tech if they played ten times, maybe Clemson wins seven.

296
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 2: But they didn't win yesterday.

297
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,559
Speaker 3: But I think Georgia Tech's a better team and maybe

298
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 3: they're just more disciplined. Maybe that's basically what it is.

299
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 3: Maybe be a little more disciplined. How do you lose

300
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: on a fifty five yard field goal? I'm seeing these

301
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: field goals. We mentioned this, well, I did anyway, because

302
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 3: that sounded stupid, So I'm not going to put you

303
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 3: in that vein. It was stupid usually coming out of

304
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: my mouth. But I'm saying I think they're doing something

305
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: with the football. There's no reason why college kids are

306
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 3: kicking fifty five and sixty yard field goals. Are they

307
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 3: putting healium in that ball? What are they doing? I mean,

308
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 3: I can't believe what I'm seeing. Fifty five yard field

309
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 3: goals in college?

310
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Come on? Really?

311
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's a thing. I'll say this.

312
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,840
Speaker 4: Kickers and punters now have more training available to them

313
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: than ever. They're getting after it very early in life,

314
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,520
Speaker 4: as opposed to waiting and to being a soccer you know,

315
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 4: convert sophomore, junior year. Now you're trying to catch up

316
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: with technique. Now these guys are doing it from youth

317
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: ball up. And as they've become better technically, they also

318
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 4: have become stronger in the weightroom. Real kickers doing real

319
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 4: things in the weightroom, lifting, expanding their range. Well, now

320
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 4: what used to be cringeworthy was a fifty yard field goal.

321
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 4: Now people are taking fifty five and fifty eight yard

322
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,320
Speaker 4: shots and not even blinking or considering a if it

323
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 4: goes back to the other team. They get it at

324
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 4: the whatever yard line, They're like, yeah, whatever, We're going

325
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 4: after these points at all costs. And that's the thing

326
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 4: that strikes me. They are trying to get after it

327
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: no matter what, no matter who different it really is.

328
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, how much is a field goal

329
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 3: kicker worth?

330
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 2: In the nil portal?

331
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 3: You know, we hear about the quarterbacks and the receivers

332
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: and running backs, but they don't hear much about kickers.

333
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 3: Are they Are they worth much? Are they paying big

334
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 3: money for kickers now too?

335
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 4: Now that I don't know, but I would think that

336
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 4: their value will rise because people do see. Man, if

337
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 4: you don't have a kicker, you don't have a chance.

338
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 4: You have to have someone that can knock it through

339
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 4: the uprights from distance to be able to compete against

340
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 4: the top teams. It's a game changer. It opens up,

341
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: It opens up everything for you. It changed the way

342
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: that you can call plays. The scoring zone now is expanded.

343
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: That just gives you a chance to put more points

344
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: on the board. Yeah, I mean it's in value. But

345
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that he needs to get quarterback money.

346
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 4: But you just can't throw a couple of dimes at

347
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: them and think that, Okay, the kickers coming because we

348
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 4: paid them a few bucks and gave him a free meal,

349
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: that they're important.

350
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt about that. Okay. I will say this.

351
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 3: I'm going to go on record and say right now

352
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 3: as we speak on this day, on the fourteenth of September, Georgia,

353
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 3: the Bulldogs of Georgia are the best team in the

354
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 3: SEC until somebody beats them. I'm saying right now, they're

355
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 3: the best team in the SEC. I know they had

356
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 3: a squeaker yesterday, beaten up on Tennessee forty one to

357
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 3: thirty eight in overtime. But I'll tell you what if

358
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: you go behind the curtain on that game right now,

359
00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 3: Georgia gave up four hundred and ninety six total yards

360
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 3: on defense, three hundred and thirty seven. Joey Aguilar, the

361
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: Tennessee quarterback, did that against their defense as well, but

362
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 3: again they come out with the win. That's basically what

363
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 3: it's all about. Josh McCarey mccraig has scored a one

364
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,280
Speaker 3: yard touchdown run in that overtime, and that was a

365
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: photo finished because they had to look at that photo

366
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 3: several times before they said he was over the line

367
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:46,680
Speaker 3: for the touchdown.

368
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean, I don't know if I can

369
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 4: quite agree with you, and proclaimed George of the champions

370
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: after they were scuffling with the Tennessee volunteers and this

371
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 4: game was in you know, hanging into balance for most

372
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 4: of the I mean, not even hanging in the balance.

373
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 4: Tennessee was winning the game, dominating the game for most

374
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 4: of the game.

375
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 5: But I hear you.

376
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 4: Look, it's something where the SEC is tough because man,

377
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 4: there's so many talented teams and to win that conference,

378
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 4: you got to be able to endure the gauntlet, right.

379
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,359
Speaker 4: It's not just okay, I got to show up in

380
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 4: week four, in week nine, in week ten and that

381
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 4: that's enough. That's good enough for us to win it.

382
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 4: It's a battle of attrition. Can you survive? Can you

383
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 4: handle playing the back the backs? Arkansas and oh and

384
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: Ole miss and then oh never got to shoot out

385
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 4: to Missouri, and oh don't for your Texas is on

386
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 4: the schedule, and all of those things.

387
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 5: I mean, it's it's a lot.

388
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,159
Speaker 4: We will see if the boy Dogs have the competitive

389
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 4: stamina to withstand the challenges ahead. They're good team, I

390
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 4: can't I can't proclaim them to be the best team.

391
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,399
Speaker 3: Though, all right, I want to move the calendar back

392
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 3: if I can. To Friday, and Colorado lost to Houston

393
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 3: and now the boo birds are coming out of the window.

394
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 3: And there was a story even yesterday about the buyout

395
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 3: clause in Deon's contract to Colorado.

396
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 2: I mean, back off.

397
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,520
Speaker 3: A little bit, really, I mean, come on, I didn't

398
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: think they'd lose to Houston thirty six twenty. But what's

399
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 3: the problem over there? Are they now losing the stand?

400
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 3: I mean the players from a year ago is that

401
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,280
Speaker 3: big of a deal. They're one and two. I didn't

402
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: expect Colorado to be one and two after three games

403
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 3: this year.

404
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 4: I mean, look, man, the one thing that you never

405
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 4: can predict is how the backups are going to fill

406
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 4: in in more prominent roles. That is why these great

407
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 4: coaches talk all the time about you never know how

408
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:50,439
Speaker 4: the team is going to transition from one year to

409
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 4: the next. Because people are in different roles. You're now

410
00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 4: expecting more of a player who's a backup player last year?

411
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 4: Can you handle those responsibilities? Is the chemistry and the

412
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: connection right the vibe within the team for Dion and Colorado,

413
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:06,119
Speaker 4: because look, they're brand name program.

414
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 5: Now everyone is tuning in to watch them.

415
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 4: I think he may have realistic expectations for what the

416
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: team was, but the football world had greater expectations and

417
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 4: they're tuning in to see how do you handle the

418
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 4: loss of a franchise quarterback and Shuder Sanders? How do

419
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 4: you handle the loss of a Heisman Trophy winner and

420
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 4: Travis Hunter?

421
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,639
Speaker 5: And right now they haven't handled it well.

422
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 4: They're still kind of spinning the wheels trying to find

423
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 4: a quarterback. Look, it hurts me because Ryan Stobb is

424
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 4: one of my buddies, one of my guys. I've known

425
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 4: since he was in middle school. Watched him play, washed

426
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,439
Speaker 4: him kind of grow and flourish, and was really rooting

427
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,680
Speaker 4: for him because his story, the underdog story, is one

428
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: that a lot of kids can can learn from, can

429
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: gravitate towards and those things. And look, man, he had

430
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 4: an opportunity and just didn't play well, didn't play well

431
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 4: enough to.

432
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 5: Retain the job.

433
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 4: So they're back to square one when it comes to

434
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 4: quarterback and you're back to square one with a quarterback

435
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,920
Speaker 4: and uncertainty at the position. Man, you'll lose some games

436
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: that you shouldn't because you don't have consistency or stability

437
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 4: at the most important position in the game.

438
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: Well, it hurts me too, but for a different reason.

439
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 3: It hurts me because I think there are immediate people

440
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 3: out there that root against Deon Sanders.

441
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 2: That's why it hurts me.

442
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: I mean, you want to cover a game, cover the

443
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 3: game fairly, but I know in the heart of hearts

444
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 3: of many, not some, but many media people, they want

445
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 3: to see Dion louse.

446
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 2: I don't know why.

447
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 3: Is it an envy, jealousy, hate, I don't know what,

448
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 3: but I just know I think you feel the same way.

449
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,359
Speaker 2: They just want to see him losing failed.

450
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, there's always going to be some

451
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 4: of that, but that's part of the thing. Man, First

452
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: they love you, then they hate you, then they love

453
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 4: you again. How does he navigate the Hollywood story book arc,

454
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 4: you know, like that's what we have to see from Colorado?

455
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 4: How does he bounce back from being vilified and hated?

456
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 4: Can't he build a program that's the challenge.

457
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 2: I'm waiting to be loved again.

458
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 3: I am all right. He's Bucket Brooks and Andy frumming

Speaker 3: live from the Fox Sports radio studios Now, Buck keep Brooks,

503
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,479
Speaker 3: I got the question of the day for you. I

504
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 3: look at the college football score board es today and

505
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 3: the scores that are rolling across in Cincinnati. No less,

506
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,880
Speaker 3: University of Cincinnati played Northwestern State and beat them seventy

507
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 3: to nothing, Penn State fifty two to six over Villanova,

508
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 3: Miami of Florida, forty nine to twelve over South Florida, Oklahoma,

509
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 3: forty two to three over Temple Michigan, sixty three to

510
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 3: three over Central Michigan. These are basketball scores. What does

511
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 3: this prove? Why do they do this? Does it mean

512
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 3: anything to run up the score like that?

513
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 4: I mean, look, I think there are a few different

514
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: ways to take on those matchups.

515
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 5: Ray.

516
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: Sometimes you take on those hips to build confidence, to

517
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 4: get your young guys in the game, to ensure that

518
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 4: your players feel good about themselves going into maybe a

519
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 4: tougher matchup down the line. The problem that you have

520
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: is how do you rate those scores in comparison to

521
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 4: win a team takes on a tougher team. For instance,

522
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: Notre Dame is sit at too, but if Notre.

523
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 5: Dame is scheduled two cupcakes, there'd.

524
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 4: Be two to zero and we'd be maybe raving about them.

525
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 4: But when you test yourself, you put yourself out there

526
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: where you can lose some games, and you have to

527
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,359
Speaker 4: understand that if you lose games, there's gonna be some

528
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 4: noise that comes around it. Even though as a coach,

529
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: as a team builder, you're doing that because you want

530
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 4: to figure out the flaws early in your team so

531
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 4: you can get to work and fixing and addressing those issues.

532
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 5: They're a different approach.

533
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,360
Speaker 4: Some people like to have a look a shiny, glitzy

534
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 4: record and know nothing about their team until they really

535
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 4: really have to start playing these meaningful games. I think

536
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 4: I fall on the camp. I'd rather play some tough teams,

537
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: see where we are, and see if we can be

538
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 4: a better team down the stretch than we start.

539
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 3: I'm a few because Cincinnati winning seventy to nothing yesterdate

540
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: with Northwestern State, I say to him asself, that's great.

541
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: It's a false hope, because there's no way on God's

542
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: green Earth they're going to win the Big Twelve conference.

543
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: They're just not. They can't compete with some other teams

544
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 3: in the Big Twelve. But yesterday they win seventy nothing.

545
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 3: A nice these players on that team, I guess, and

546
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,359
Speaker 3: even the coach get a little false hope saying maybe

547
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 3: we're better than we think, we are, better than people

548
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 3: say we are.

549
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: It doesn't work that way.

550
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 3: I remember last year was it two years ago when

551
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: Notre Dame played Marshall.

552
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 2: Marshall beat them.

553
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 3: So maybe it's not even good to play a lesser

554
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 3: team because the team looks at the schedule, it looks

555
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: at the name of the team, and doesn't play as

556
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 3: hard as they should, thinking they're so much better than them,

557
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 3: and they lose. See, maybe you're better off playing a

558
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 3: tougher team and getting better yourself.

559
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 4: I mean, you always are better off playing a tougher team.

560
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,239
Speaker 4: Now you got to make sure you know where your

561
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 4: team is when it comes to that, meaning, how do

562
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 4: they handle those tough games if they take a loss,

563
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 4: can they bounce Do they have the mental toughness to

564
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 4: forty two to bounce back from that?

565
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 5: You have to kind of know that as you're making

566
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 5: the schedule.

567
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 4: But yeah, somewhere early in the year, you want to

568
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 4: take on a team that is a bit of a

569
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 4: measuring stick for you, one that provides you with enough

570
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 4: answers to help you build a better team, a team

571
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 4: that plays better down the stretch. That's why you don't

572
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: I want to schedule all cupcakes. So I applaud these

573
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 4: teams that are taken on real squads. And even though

574
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 4: some of these teams are taken on the cupcakes and

575
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 4: the patsis, can you get something out of the game,

576
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: like Alabama beating whoever they be last week seventy three

577
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 4: to nothing over like, that's fine, but that doesn't prove

578
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 4: to me that you're a real team. I need to

579
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 4: see you play against those real teams to really get

580
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 4: the respect that you deserve.

581
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 3: Okay, so your jads today are playing a real team.

582
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 3: They're playing in the Cincinnati Bengals in Cincinnati. But I look

583
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: at what happened last week. The Bengals won. Did they

584
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 3: really beat the Browns or that the Browns just lose

585
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,439
Speaker 3: that game? Because I look at the Bengals and everybody

586
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:40,400
Speaker 3: said preseason rightfully. So their strength is on the offensive

587
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,439
Speaker 3: side of the football. Last week, this is an unbelievable stat.

588
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 3: I mean, you had to see the game to believe it.

589
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 3: Last week, in the second half against the Browns, they

590
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 3: gained seven seven seven net yards. They were held to

591
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: minus eighteen in the fourth quarter. How does that happen

592
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,920
Speaker 3: to a pro team? How does that happen to any

593
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,879
Speaker 3: football team? Brown the running back had nine carries for

594
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 3: no yards. Joe Burrow three of nine for twenty five yards.

595
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: He was sacked three times. Now, why does that happen

596
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:12,480
Speaker 3: to a team that's built on offense? Was it all

597
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 3: Miles Garrett on the Browns? I mean, I don't understand

598
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: how that happens.

599
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 4: Some days you have bad days, man, Sometimes you just

600
00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 4: can't get into a rhythm. And despite what they may

601
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 4: have put together and the energy that they committed to

602
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 4: the preseason to get these guys ready, the rector season

603
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 4: is always a different animal. You just don't know how

604
00:27:30,880 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 4: people going to perform with delights or on. And it's

605
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 4: not just Oh, their star players, Joe Burrow didn't play well.

606
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,479
Speaker 4: T Higgins, Jamar Chase. We need more from them. What

607
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 4: did the offensive line look like? And they were playing

608
00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 4: against a dominant force in Miles Garrett.

609
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 5: Desk us everything because.

610
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 4: He can dominate the game on his own accord, and

611
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: you may not have an answer for him. With double

612
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 4: teams and those things.

613
00:27:55,000 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 5: We got that.

614
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,040
Speaker 4: Look what I've known to be true they're never as

615
00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 4: good as they look. They're never as bad as they look.

616
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 4: They're probably somewhere in between. They're probably much better team

617
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 4: than showed up against Cleveland.

618
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,159
Speaker 5: But I can't sit here and say, then come.

619
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,479
Speaker 4: Out in a light of the scoreboard and hank fifty

620
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,280
Speaker 4: on the Jacks because they're smarting from their loss.

621
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: I mean this, mrighty from their poor performance the week before.

622
00:28:17,320 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 4: We'll see that's that's that's why the great the game's

623
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,120
Speaker 4: early year are really interesting.

624
00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 2: And the key to the game.

625
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure that you you guys are in

626
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 3: those meetings and maybe you could tell me if I'm

627
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 3: right or wrong. But the key is the coaches say,

628
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 3: you want to win this game, keep Joe Borrow on

629
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: the bench, keep them on the sidelines. That's that's the

630
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 3: way to win the game. You would think even though

631
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 3: he had a poor performance last week. But you're a

632
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 3: running game. You know, was tremendous in Jacksonville. Travis ATM

633
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: Junior had one hundred plus yards and they win last week.

634
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 3: So we'll see what happens. I mean, what's your take

635
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 3: on that game? That they run the football is a

636
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 3: quarterbacking strong enough? Now do we see a difference in

637
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: the offense with the new head coach. What is the

638
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:55,959
Speaker 3: what's the what does it look like now in Jacksonville?

639
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 5: They want to be a physical football team. They want

640
00:28:58,880 --> 00:28:59,479
Speaker 5: to run the football.

641
00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 4: They want to control the game by running the football,

642
00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 4: the setting everything up off of that. And so whether

643
00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 4: that is Travis Atiene getting a ton of carries and

644
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 4: physically wearing you down over four quarters, whether that is

645
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,040
Speaker 4: using the thread of handing the ball to Travis, it's

646
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 4: the end to then come back and find ways to

647
00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 4: deliver big players off play action pass as a variety

648
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 4: of play action passes. All of those things are in play.

649
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 4: What you're hoping for is I not only control the game,

650
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 4: but I can alleviate some of the pressure on my

651
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: quarterback Trevor Lawrence, so he can settle in and become efficient,

652
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,640
Speaker 4: effective and really live up to some of the expectations

653
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 4: that they have for him when he was done one

654
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 4: overall pick.

655
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,480
Speaker 3: And you got to believe it's time. He's got to

656
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,120
Speaker 3: have his coming out party hopefully this year. Do you

657
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: see a change with the new head coach with the

658
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 3: offense kind of different now? Do you see a change

659
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 3: in Trevor Or is it. Basically, you know, he's not

660
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 3: going to really shine as he was predicted to be

661
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:58,240
Speaker 3: when he was drafted.

662
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 4: Look, I think it's all about connectivity with Trevor. Like

663
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 4: a lot of players, man, when he feels like he's

664
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 4: connected with the coaches, connected with his.

665
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 5: Teammates, he's going to play better. You have to have

666
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 5: some buy in.

667
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 4: This is a relationship's business, and we can talk about

668
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,560
Speaker 4: the x's and o's, but players and coaches have to

669
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 4: be on the same page to really maximize the talent

670
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 4: of the squad. And to do that, you have to

671
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 4: spend some time away from the field with the players

672
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 4: and when you talk to them and the facility in

673
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 4: those things. Those conversations have to range beyond what can

674
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: you do for me as a player. It has to

675
00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 4: be about personal life, family, how's everyone doing. You have

676
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 4: to show them that you care about them before they

677
00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,160
Speaker 4: truly give you everything that you want from them.

678
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 2: Really, so the has to be almost like a father figure.

679
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 4: No, it doesn't have to be a father figure, but

680
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 4: there has to be more than just I'm coach your player,

681
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 4: I tell you what to do in this. When you

682
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: have more buy in from people, you get the best

683
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 4: out of them. And the way that you have buy

684
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,560
Speaker 4: in is you have to build a relationship. You have

685
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 4: to spend the time you have to connect with them.

686
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: You have to have regular communication and dialogue, and that

687
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 4: dialogue can't always be centered on what is happening between

688
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 4: the lines. You have to know where they are, because

689
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 4: even though these guys are pros, a lot of them

690
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 4: have never been in the real world outside of what

691
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:26,479
Speaker 4: they've done with the sports. So they go straight from

692
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 4: middle school to high school to college just kind of

693
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,320
Speaker 4: doing their thing. They've been kind of part of the system,

694
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 4: and sometimes people do everything for them where they can

695
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 4: feel like it is a transactional experience instead of a

696
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 4: transformational experience. And the way that you have to create

697
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 4: that transformation a little more time and investment. The best

698
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: teams are connected player the player, player to coach, coach

699
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 4: to coach.

700
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 3: I'm spending a little more time on this game than

701
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 3: I normally would simply because that you're close to this

702
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 3: team and you're part of the team. Really, what is

703
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: the buzz inside the line? Did these guys have a

704
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 3: different attitude as you had seen they had last year?

705
00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 3: They have the winning out of it? Is it changed

706
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 3: they talk about culture. Has the coaching staff now changed

707
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 3: that's so called culture and that groom door, do you

708
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 3: see the same same old like here we go again deal.

709
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 4: I think there's always gonna be some of that, And

710
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 4: you really don't know what your team is like until

711
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 4: you're in the middle of the storm, right and the

712
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 4: storm can be a two or three game losing street.

713
00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:26,080
Speaker 4: A storm could be in the middle of the game

714
00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 4: the team falls behind. How do you handle it? How

715
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 4: does the coach handle it? Because the team is looking

716
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 4: at how the coach handles it. Coach handles it like

717
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,640
Speaker 4: he told the team that he would handle those things

718
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 4: that he's built for, the grind or the rough and

719
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 4: tumble stuff, where then there's more connection. They buy in.

720
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 4: They believe they take on that personality you always talk

721
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 4: you always hear people talk about a team takes on

722
00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 4: the personality of its coach. That's why the way the

723
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 4: coach presents himself in good times and in bad times matters.

724
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 5: Because if you change.

725
00:32:56,920 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 4: And start doing all this other stuff and fussing Anderson

726
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: and stuff when that hasn't been your mo up to

727
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 4: this point, well, now you've lost credibility because they're like, oh,

728
00:33:06,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 4: he doesn't even know who he is. How can we lead?

729
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 4: How can we follow his lead? When he doesn't know

730
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: a lot of this stuff matters?

731
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,280
Speaker 3: Interesting, I tell you what, though, if you look on paper,

732
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 3: this is a team that wants to run the football,

733
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 3: and the Bengals right now have a hard time stopping

734
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: the run, or at least they used to. And we'll

735
00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 3: see what happens today. It looks like there's going to

736
00:33:24,600 --> 00:33:26,840
Speaker 3: be someone in Jacksonville's favor, but we'll see.

737
00:33:26,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: Got to play the game. He's Bucky Brooks on Andy Furman.

738
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: We are Fox Football Sunday on Fox Sputs Radio. He

739
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 3: is a man for all seasons, but he shines best

740
00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 3: this time of the year.

741
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 2: Who is he? It's Bucky, It's next.

742
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 3: You know, I'm so appreciative that the little things make

743
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: me feel good. When I hear Stevie Wonder, you made

744
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,160
Speaker 3: my day. You know how much I love Stevie Wonder.

745
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: If we could get him on as a guest, that

746
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 3: would be like big, it really would.

747
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 5: You know.

748
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 3: There are people in this business that live to see

749
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: athletes and talk to them. They want to meet Michael Jordan.

750
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:00,840
Speaker 3: They want to see this guy, that guy. I want

751
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 3: to see Stevie Wonder. Make it happen, Brianna, our executive

752
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 3: directive producer. Whatever if you can make that happen, Buddy,

753
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 3: I put a star next to your name. Could you

754
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 3: do that?

755
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:11,160
Speaker 5: I'll work on it.

756
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 3: We'll a lot for the Fox West Radio studios. He's

757
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,800
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. We are Fox Football Sunday

758
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 3: and Fox That's ready. It is time for ask Bucky. Yes,

759
00:34:19,120 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 3: and Brianna, it's up to you.

760
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 2: You got to get started, Okay, all righty Bucky. I

761
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 2: just want to know how likely do you.

762
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,840
Speaker 3: Think it is that Sam Donald and just as Seahawks

763
00:34:28,880 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: will kind of get on track with him being there.

764
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,960
Speaker 4: I think it'll take a little while, but Clint Kubiak

765
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 4: knows the system that Sam Donald had success in Minnesota,

766
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 4: and he'll eventually tweak it to the point where Sam

767
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 4: finds a level of comfort in that system. And it

768
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 4: may not take the first three or four weeks, but

769
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 4: I would think by mid season, Sam Donald will be

770
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 4: in a full groove and swing and you'll see the

771
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 4: Seahawks offense play different as he settles in.

772
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 3: Are you satisfied with that answer, Brianna.

773
00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 8: I am.

774
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,440
Speaker 4: He's Aside with that answer.

775
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 3: I got a kind of a multiple, big kind of

776
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 3: question here, bim, because I want to talk about the

777
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 3: Heisman winning Travis Hunt, who plays for your Jaguars. Okay,

778
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 3: I want to know how tough it is to play

779
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 3: both ways? How he did it last week?

780
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: Tell us? And how tough is it to learn? How

781
00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 2: people don't talk.

782
00:35:17,719 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 3: About this much scouting reports for both sides of the football,

783
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 3: meetings for offensive defense and the wear and tearing your

784
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 3: body the last play with five or more receptions, and

785
00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:29,640
Speaker 3: he played defense as well. Believe it or not, I

786
00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 3: had to look this up. He was a Cincinnati Bengal

787
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 3: aj Green. He did it I think in twenty seventeen.

788
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 3: But tell me a little bit about Travis Hunt and

789
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,280
Speaker 3: how tough it is to go both ways and basically

790
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 3: go to those meetings in both sides of the football.

791
00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:44,839
Speaker 4: I think look is tough, but it's something that he's

792
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,960
Speaker 4: always done. And most of the players in nas Football

793
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,759
Speaker 4: League had played on both sides of the ball, either

794
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:52,800
Speaker 4: Pop Warner, middle school, high school or whatever.

795
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:54,360
Speaker 5: You just don't see it in the pros.

796
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 4: What you have to do is you have to build

797
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 4: out a plan that will allow him to get the

798
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 4: reps that he needs in practice to be prepared to.

799
00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,480
Speaker 5: Play for it in games.

800
00:36:01,760 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 4: In game, you have to be able to monitor the

801
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:05,480
Speaker 4: fatigue factor.

802
00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 5: How much energy does he have? Is he too tired

803
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,120
Speaker 5: to go the other way?

804
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 4: This is an experience inexperience that will change week to week.

805
00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:15,600
Speaker 4: This is a week I would expect to see him

806
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,680
Speaker 4: play a lot on defense because the Bengals have a

807
00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:21,000
Speaker 4: prolific offense. He needs to be on the island to

808
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,720
Speaker 4: kind of help this defense play how they want to play.

809
00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,800
Speaker 4: So we'll see he should play more on both sides

810
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,399
Speaker 4: this week, but it's gonna change week to week based

811
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 4: on matchups.

812
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 2: All right, thank you for that.

813
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 3: I wanted to know that you kind of put everything

814
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 3: in perspective. Daniel Jones completed twenty two to twenty nine

815
00:36:36,880 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 3: pass if a twenty seventy two yards and a touchdown

816
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 3: for the Indianapolis Colts last week as their starting quarterback.

817
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,719
Speaker 3: Tell Us is he now the quarterback revival story for

818
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:46,239
Speaker 3: this year.

819
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,600
Speaker 4: Look, he's gonna have a lot of success because Shane

820
00:36:48,640 --> 00:36:51,760
Speaker 4: Steichen is gonna make it where he's playing to his strengths.

821
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,320
Speaker 4: The other thing is he has a really good support

822
00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 4: and cast around him. He has a guy that does

823
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:58,040
Speaker 4: the lead mercing candidate and Jonathan Taylor. He has a

824
00:36:58,160 --> 00:37:00,800
Speaker 4: fast and athletic while receiver corps.

825
00:37:01,239 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 5: You think about.

826
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:05,800
Speaker 4: They added Tyler Warrant to go with that. So Michael Pittman,

827
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,719
Speaker 4: Josh Downs and others.

828
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,879
Speaker 5: They're good. Offensive line is solid. He just needs to.

829
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,319
Speaker 4: Play his role, be the distributor, to take care of

830
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,680
Speaker 4: the ball and lean on that experience because remember a

831
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,720
Speaker 4: couple of years ago he led the Giants to the playoffs.

832
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:21,719
Speaker 4: They can lean on that experience and expertise. They help

833
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:22,480
Speaker 4: them get going.

834
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,880
Speaker 3: All right, And the Baltimore Ravens now seemed to be

835
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:28,560
Speaker 3: gaining on the Buffalo Bills as far as the new

836
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 3: hard luck team in the NFL.

837
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 2: The Bills have remember the lost four consecutive Super Bowls.

838
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,880
Speaker 3: Now the Ravens led forty to twenty five with a

839
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 3: little over nine minutes left in the game against Buffalo,

840
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 3: they lost forty one to forty. Teams were fifty three

841
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,319
Speaker 3: and oh since the year two thousand, counting the playoffs. Now,

842
00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: when leading by fifteen points and taking possession with about

843
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:52,040
Speaker 3: eight to ten minutes left in regulation, what is happening

844
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 3: at the tail end of ball games for the Baltimore Ravens.

845
00:37:56,760 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just got to learn how to close it out.

846
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:01,680
Speaker 4: They're not closing games out is something that is a

847
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 4: learned skill. You have to learn how to close these

848
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: things out, and they just aren't getting them done.

849
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 5: It's weird to kind.

850
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,480
Speaker 4: Of see it play out, but it's one of those

851
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:14,280
Speaker 4: things where my biggest concern about the Ravens has always

852
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:18,560
Speaker 4: been their ability to are they emotionally mature enough to

853
00:38:18,719 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 4: finish it? Can they finish the game the way that

854
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,920
Speaker 4: you need to finish it, And they still have not

855
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 4: proven that they can do it consistently, and so that's

856
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: that's a huge issue.

857
00:38:28,239 --> 00:38:30,680
Speaker 3: Whose problem is that is that the coaching staff, players,

858
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:32,239
Speaker 3: How does that work? How do you change that?

859
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 5: Everybody?

860
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 4: Everybody has to get better at what they're doing, Like

861
00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 4: everyone has to learn how to finish games, and you

862
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:40,799
Speaker 4: have to talk about it, you have to work on it,

863
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 4: you have to consistently make it the big deal. And

864
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 4: until they're able to kind of get over the hump

865
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 4: and have that signature win, it's always going to be there,

866
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 4: but that signature win has to come into postseason because

867
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 4: that's where it really matters. That's where it really catches

868
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 4: up with them.

869
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're talking about closing games.

870
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: When I think about that, I think about also the

871
00:38:58,200 --> 00:39:00,319
Speaker 3: charges about three years ago. I couldn't do it either.

872
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 3: And they got a new coach right now, and I

873
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:04,759
Speaker 3: guess that's changed. So maybe it is the coach. You

874
00:39:04,760 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 3: know they took about Hey, they used the term culture.

875
00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:07,359
Speaker 5: You know.

876
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 3: He came in there, Harbaugh, and they're changing it.

877
00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,359
Speaker 2: And he's done that. So we move on.

878
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 3: Expectations in Detroit with the Lions for a smooth transition

879
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,800
Speaker 3: from Ben Johnson to the new offensive coordinator, John Morton.

880
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:21,279
Speaker 3: They really and truly were and looks like they're going

881
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 3: to be realistic. Also, they lost the court they set

882
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,000
Speaker 3: to Frank Ragnoll. He retired. The Lions offense has seen,

883
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,680
Speaker 3: at least in the Week one, a big drop off

884
00:39:29,920 --> 00:39:33,040
Speaker 3: the package sack quarterback Jared Goff four times, they hit

885
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,520
Speaker 3: him nine times. Is it time to worry if you're

886
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: a Detroit Lion.

887
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,480
Speaker 5: Fan, Yes, it's time to be worried.

888
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,400
Speaker 4: You're absolutely should worry because look, man, they had a

889
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,719
Speaker 4: synergy and a connection not only with Ben Johnson but

890
00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 4: with Aaron glam But when we talk about this offense.

891
00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson was able to make this offense fast, physical, fun.

892
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:56,719
Speaker 4: He had creativity, but he had an old school mentality.

893
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 4: I can't say that John Morten can replace that. A

894
00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:00,799
Speaker 4: lot of pressure on him to get done. But it

895
00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 4: certainly didn't look right when we saw it.

896
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,279
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what, though, it's gonna be really

897
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 3: bid in Detroit. They may have peaked, maybe peaked too early,

898
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,360
Speaker 3: and now it's not gonna happen this year. It's I

899
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:12,799
Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna be successful this year. But let's

900
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 3: take a look at the real Oh geez, that and

901
00:40:15,280 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: so much more where right here? Fox Football Sunday coming

912
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:47,160

Speaker 3: NFL dot com, but the one on foxsports dot Com

935
00:41:42,560 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 3: this week is tremendous. You talk about a quarterback driven league.

936
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 3: We know that the NFL is a quarterback driven league,

937
00:41:48,280 --> 00:41:51,880
Speaker 3: and last week they had in week one, seven veteran

938
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 3: quarterbacks started for new teams as part of maybe a

939
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,800
Speaker 3: wave of offensive makeovers. Okay, and you talk about first

940
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 3: impressions set the tone for the rest of the year.

941
00:42:01,680 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 3: Tell me what exactly that means first impressions, because we've

942
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 3: talked about some of those quarterbacks that look fairly decent

943
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:10,400
Speaker 3: in the first week. But is it going to continue

944
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,839
Speaker 3: with Sam Donald, Aaron Rodgers, these had first impressions. They

945
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 3: were winners, Okay, Indianapolis Daniel Jones, he looked pretty good.

946
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,560
Speaker 3: Is that a first impression? Is you're going to carry over?

947
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 3: Tell me a little bit more about your first impressions.

948
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:23,959
Speaker 5: Yeah.

949
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,560
Speaker 4: Now, so at Fox Sports, we looked at the new

950
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 4: marriages quarterbacks and their new teams, veteran quarterbacks, how they're going,

951
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,479
Speaker 4: how the debut went, and how we projected to play out.

952
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,200
Speaker 4: And what's really interesting in seeing how many of these

953
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:45,480
Speaker 4: teams were able to really build systems that accinuated what

954
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,120
Speaker 4: their quarterbacks did. And so if you want to start

955
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 4: out with a player list, for instance, talk about Aaron Rodgers.

956
00:42:50,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers linking up with Arthur Smith. This offense is

957
00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,320
Speaker 4: one that wants to be run heavy. But Aaron Rodgers

958
00:42:56,320 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 4: obviously brings the expertise of look Super Bowl winner, four

959
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:03,319
Speaker 4: time MVP. You want to tap into that, Well, how

960
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 4: do you tap into that and kind of maintain the

961
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,879
Speaker 4: strengths of the team. You run it, You play action,

962
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:09,759
Speaker 4: you quick, You give him control that the line of

963
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,719
Speaker 4: scrimmage to make sure that he always puts you in

964
00:43:11,760 --> 00:43:14,520
Speaker 4: the best play and you give it to him with

965
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:17,920
Speaker 4: enough structure that it doesn't go wayward in terms of

966
00:43:17,920 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 4: all of a sudden you become a passing team. So

967
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:23,160
Speaker 4: we saw this, you know, over and over and over

968
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:24,839
Speaker 4: again with these veteran quarterbacks, and a lot of them

969
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 4: had a lot of success.

970
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what they took about Aaron Rodgers. They

971
00:43:29,560 --> 00:43:31,839
Speaker 3: won last week. They beat his former team, the Jeedge

972
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 3: thirty four to thirty two, but thanks to a sixty

973
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:35,799
Speaker 3: yard field goal that did that. He was twenty two

974
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: to thirty, passed with two forty four, was sacked four times,

975
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:41,480
Speaker 3: with hit three other times. And I've had a couple

976
00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,879
Speaker 3: of heavy body blows right there. But you talk about

977
00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 3: the receiver, I think that one of the plays that

978
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 3: really stood out. I saw them on the highlights. He

979
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 3: led that receiver of Calvin Olsen the third with one

980
00:43:51,160 --> 00:43:53,279
Speaker 3: of those like off balanced things that you always see

981
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:56,240
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers in those highlight films. He was somewhat off balance,

982
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: he flicked the wrist and he hit it. So I

983
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 3: think he still has I mean, we talked about that

984
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 3: he was going to come back probably the year after

985
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 3: his surgery, and that usually happens when you have an

986
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,200
Speaker 3: injury like that, and we'll see. I think that he's

987
00:44:08,200 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 3: going to be very blessed on this stealer team because

988
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 3: when he played in Green Bay, he played well, but

989
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 3: how many times did he played well when the special

990
00:44:16,360 --> 00:44:18,799
Speaker 3: teams let him down and he lost the game. So

991
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 3: right now, I think he's gonna have a strong unit

992
00:44:21,239 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 3: behind him, which he lacked basically is several years at

993
00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:27,759
Speaker 3: the end of Green Bay and of course last year

994
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:28,800
Speaker 3: in New York with the Jets.

995
00:44:30,800 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, but I think it goes beyond that.

996
00:44:33,080 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 4: I think it's also having a strong head coach that

997
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:41,040
Speaker 4: can rain him in and can look has the respect

998
00:44:41,040 --> 00:44:46,320
Speaker 4: of Ann Rodgers, but Aaron Rodgers also is complicit because

999
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 4: he knows, man, this guy can help me be a

1000
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 4: better player. This guy has goods to help this team

1001
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 4: that I'm a part of win and win at a

1002
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 4: high level. When DA is in place, that's when you

1003
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:56,839
Speaker 4: can get the best out of him. And I think

1004
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 4: for Aaron Rodgers, he respects that, he respects intelligence and

1005
00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,560
Speaker 4: know how, the ability to be able to convey to

1006
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 4: him this is how we're going to get it done,

1007
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 4: and to say it in a way that he looks

1008
00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 4: he feels like the coach is convicted. Because the coach

1009
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 4: has confidence in his methods. Aaron Rodgers will always buy

1010
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 4: into that, and I think that's what we've seen.

1011
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,840
Speaker 3: All right, let's move along now. I have a Gino

1012
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:22,120
Speaker 3: Smith on your list right now. And Gino Smith last

1013
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 3: week he was on the Raiders and they beat the

1014
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 3: Patriots last week, which I don't know if that's a

1015
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,839
Speaker 3: great eye test whatever it's going to do, but three

1016
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,120
Speaker 3: hundred and sixty two yards passing him that twenty thirteen win

1017
00:45:31,160 --> 00:45:34,400
Speaker 3: against New England, and he did post the best yards

1018
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 3: per attempt ten point six for a Raiders' starter since

1019
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,279
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two. Now is that because he's on a

1020
00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,560
Speaker 3: new team where in a new uniform is the coaches

1021
00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:46,400
Speaker 3: the Pete Carroll And do you expect more from this?

1022
00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 3: Can he continue this.

1023
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it actually continues. I would continue to

1024
00:45:52,760 --> 00:45:56,680
Speaker 4: expect him to play at a high level. Look, he's

1025
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,319
Speaker 4: a really, really good player. He's found his way. And

1026
00:45:59,360 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 4: I told you when I was referencing Trevor Lawrence about

1027
00:46:01,880 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 4: the belief Gino Smith knows that Pete Carroll believes in him.

1028
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll gave him a chance with others when he

1029
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 4: became a two time Pro Bowl quarterback under his direction.

1030
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,080
Speaker 5: So Gino Smith is going to be all in.

1031
00:46:13,160 --> 00:46:15,239
Speaker 4: And because Pete Carroll knows that Gino Smith can play

1032
00:46:15,239 --> 00:46:18,160
Speaker 4: at a high level and lead an underdog squad, it's

1033
00:46:18,200 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 4: a mutually beneficial relationship. And I continue to expect the

1034
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 4: Raiders to succeed with Gino Smith in the fold because

1035
00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,360
Speaker 4: Pete Carroll's going to set them up to have success.

1036
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:31,799
Speaker 3: The beautiful thing about you when you write these little

1037
00:46:31,840 --> 00:46:35,000
Speaker 3: stories this is on Fox Sports obviously that you make

1038
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,319
Speaker 3: me do a little more work because I'm looking back

1039
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:40,240
Speaker 3: right here and I found this out a little nugget

1040
00:46:40,280 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 3: about Gino Smith. It was Smith's fourth game over the

1041
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,680
Speaker 3: past three years with three hundred plus yards, no more

1042
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:49,279
Speaker 3: than one touchdown pass, and at least one interception. No

1043
00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 3: player no player has more of those games than Smith

1044
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 3: over that period of time. That's an amazing stat right there.

1045
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,360
Speaker 3: And I wonder who keeps these stats. They're quite interesting,

1046
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:00,920
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't want to have that job to keep

1047
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:03,319
Speaker 3: those stats. But very interesting to read. But we move

1048
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 3: on right now because you've got Justin Fields, Justin Fields

1049
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:10,279
Speaker 3: with the Jets three total touchdowns and I guess the

1050
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 3: best expected points added per pass whatever that stat is

1051
00:47:14,320 --> 00:47:16,799
Speaker 3: for any Jets start us is twenty twenty two. What

1052
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,080
Speaker 3: about Justin Fields? Is he going to get it done?

1053
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 5: I think so.

1054
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,640
Speaker 4: One, you have to understand Aaron Glenn face justin fields

1055
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,800
Speaker 4: when he was at his best in Chicago, really attacking

1056
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:29,000
Speaker 4: them as a dual threat playmaker. And because of that,

1057
00:47:29,080 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 4: he has the confidence that he can unlock that and

1058
00:47:32,400 --> 00:47:34,560
Speaker 4: he can make him a guy that is a headache

1059
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,040
Speaker 4: and a handful to deal with.

1060
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:37,479
Speaker 5: Well, when you have that kind.

1061
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:42,279
Speaker 4: Of confidence and you give your offensive coordinator, I would

1062
00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:44,640
Speaker 4: say a bit of a mandate to say, man, unlock

1063
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:46,799
Speaker 4: this dude. Let's make sure we tap into who he is.

1064
00:47:46,840 --> 00:47:48,880
Speaker 4: Let's not worry about what he can do. Let's focus

1065
00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,080
Speaker 4: on what he can do. When you do those things

1066
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,239
Speaker 4: and you take that approach, you can get the best

1067
00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 4: out of people. And it seems to me that they are.

1068
00:47:56,239 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 4: The Jets are all in all making sure that Fields succeeds,

1069
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 4: and he succeeds in a way that falls in line

1070
00:48:03,160 --> 00:48:04,839
Speaker 4: with how they want to play. They want to run

1071
00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 4: the football, and so the best way to run the

1072
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 4: football is one you got to be committed to it.

1073
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 4: But to have the X factor a quarterback who can

1074
00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,040
Speaker 4: get it done and give you the rushing yards not

1075
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:17,600
Speaker 4: only on design quarterback runs but also on those impromptu

1076
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 4: scrambles and other things. Man, that's when your offense becomes

1077
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 4: very very difficult to defend.

1078
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:24,640
Speaker 3: I hate to put you on the spot, but you're

1079
00:48:24,719 --> 00:48:27,200
Speaker 3: the football maven here and maybe it could help me

1080
00:48:27,239 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 3: with this. They said that in that game, Justin Fields

1081
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,200
Speaker 3: had a career best expected points added per past play

1082
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 3: was at five thirty six.

1083
00:48:36,280 --> 00:48:37,760
Speaker 2: What exactly is EPA?

1084
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:42,560
Speaker 3: I never heard of that stat added poor offensive play.

1085
00:48:43,480 --> 00:48:46,120
Speaker 4: Well, they're looking at the thing and they're saying what

1086
00:48:45,400 --> 00:48:48,040
Speaker 4: you should get off of this? Does it go above

1087
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 4: and beyond that? Does he find a way to go

1088
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 4: above and beyond? But the x'es and o's suggests that

1089
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,719
Speaker 4: you should get So that's a credit to him in

1090
00:48:55,840 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 4: terms of being able to maximize it, to enhance it,

1091
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 4: to to it because it talks about his own athletic

1092
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,799
Speaker 4: ability adding to that, and when you get that, you

1093
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,520
Speaker 4: have fireworks. I'm telling you he can make it right

1094
00:49:10,600 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 4: because whatever scripted is scripted. But man, it's the guys

1095
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 4: who can go off to script and make things happen.

1096
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 5: Those are the ones that keep you up at night.

1097
00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 5: All right.

1098
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 3: Moving along now Daniel Jones, and I don't know if

1099
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 3: it was his team or the team they played, because

1100
00:49:27,440 --> 00:49:29,120
Speaker 3: he led the Colts to a thirty three to eight

1101
00:49:29,160 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 3: win against the Dolphins, and he helped that offense score

1102
00:49:32,880 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 3: on all seven possessions.

1103
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:35,800
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think.

1104
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:38,280
Speaker 3: What he did last Sunday is sustainable for the remainder

1105
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 3: of the season. Nine passing two seventy two, one touchdown,

1106
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:46,319
Speaker 3: no I iNTS, runs for twenty seven yards two touchdowns.

1107
00:49:46,760 --> 00:49:49,279
Speaker 3: But I guess that conn be more consistent than they

1108
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 3: were in years past. But I don't see him keeping

1109
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:55,480
Speaker 3: those stats going because Miami Dolphins looked like that had

1110
00:49:55,520 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 3: no idea what was going on.

1111
00:49:56,640 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 2: They really did. They were just out of it.

1112
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, but maybe the Miami Dolphins I mean they aren't

1113
00:50:02,080 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 4: that good, or maybe the Indianapolis coach overwhelmed him. You know,

1114
00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:09,439
Speaker 4: the Coats had a lot of success because the deep

1115
00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,680
Speaker 4: them up. Lou Anna Remo comes over from Cincinnati Bengals,

1116
00:50:12,680 --> 00:50:15,839
Speaker 4: where he was dismissed. He goes there, creative mind, finds

1117
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,120
Speaker 4: a way to jump start that defense, and now they

1118
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 4: create more turnovers. More turners mean more opportunities for the

1119
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:22,920
Speaker 4: quarterback to do it.

1120
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:24,480
Speaker 5: And with Shane Styken coming over.

1121
00:50:24,360 --> 00:50:27,400
Speaker 4: Who has dealt with a number of athletic quarterbacks, he

1122
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,839
Speaker 4: can take advantage of Daniel Jones's athleticism.

1123
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 5: Remember when Brian.

1124
00:50:32,239 --> 00:50:34,200
Speaker 4: Day Ball took over the Giants, he kind of put

1125
00:50:34,239 --> 00:50:38,000
Speaker 4: him in that Josh Allen blueprint formula where he utilized

1126
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:41,879
Speaker 4: his legs a lot to jump start that offense. They're

1127
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 4: gonna do the same. They're doing the same, They're gonna

1128
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:46,560
Speaker 4: find a way to maximize it. He scored two rushing touchdowns,

1129
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,640
Speaker 4: two for two hundred and seventy plus yards. A great performance.

1130
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:52,760
Speaker 4: We man, we can't even recall Danny die is playing

1131
00:50:52,800 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 4: like that. So to me, nice start, and I think

1132
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:58,520
Speaker 4: it's probably the start of more stuff to come.

1133
00:50:59,160 --> 00:51:03,240
Speaker 3: He led the on points on every drive during the game.

1134
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 3: Peyton Manning never did that, Andrew luck never did that

1135
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 3: for the Colts. He did it last Sunday. And I

1136
00:51:09,239 --> 00:51:12,240
Speaker 3: tell you right now, there's one person who's not happy,

1137
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 3: it's got to be Anthony Richardson. I mean, if there

1138
00:51:14,920 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 3: was any doubt right now, I mean, and there was

1139
00:51:17,440 --> 00:51:19,440
Speaker 3: some talk during preseason there was gonna be a kind

1140
00:51:19,480 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 3: of a battle for quarterback and Anthony Richardson was getting

1141
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:25,120
Speaker 3: hurt almost every other day. Anthony Richardson have a hard

1142
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 3: time getting back into that lineup.

1143
00:51:26,800 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 4: Well, I mean that was the whole point they signed him.

1144
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,319
Speaker 4: They signed him because they knew that they couldn't depend

1145
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 4: on him. And Anthony Richardson is not close to the

1146
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:36,120
Speaker 4: player that Daniel Jones is. And for the Coles Man,

1147
00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 4: your job as the coach and the general managed to

1148
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,359
Speaker 4: always put your team in the best position to win,

1149
00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,319
Speaker 4: regardless of who comes in from what their pedigree or whatever.

1150
00:51:45,360 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 4: Best players to play. Daniel Jones is clearly.

1151
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:50,799
Speaker 5: A much better player than Anthony Richardson. So to me,

1152
00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:51,520
Speaker 5: this is what.

1153
00:51:51,960 --> 00:51:54,239
Speaker 3: All right, we're moving on right now. Russell Wilson with

1154
00:51:54,280 --> 00:51:57,799
Speaker 3: the Giants, I think for the time is moving in

1155
00:51:57,800 --> 00:51:58,719
Speaker 3: a little bit right now.

1156
00:51:59,080 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 2: I don't know.

1157
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:02,400
Speaker 3: Maybe i'm but he completed only forty six percent of

1158
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,120
Speaker 3: his pass last week seventeen to thirty seven. He averaged

1159
00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:08,720
Speaker 3: almost four point five yards per attempt and the Giants

1160
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 3: lost to Washington twenty one six. Is it time to

1161
00:52:12,040 --> 00:52:15,839
Speaker 3: move on? Is it too soon? It is Jackson Dart

1162
00:52:15,920 --> 00:52:18,360
Speaker 3: and he's like, you know, chomping at the bit right now.

1163
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,960
Speaker 3: He's a rookie obviously, But I guess when you throw

1164
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 3: the rookie in there, basically you're throwing the season away, saying, look,

1165
00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 3: we're looking for the future. But I don't think the

1166
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:28,920
Speaker 3: Giants have much of a future with Russell Wilson.

1167
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,799
Speaker 4: I would agree with you. As a matter of time.

1168
00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,359
Speaker 4: I think he's trying to find the comfort level. When

1169
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 4: are they comfortable giving him the ball and letting him

1170
00:52:39,239 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 4: roll with it. It's clear man athletically, he has a

1171
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 4: lot of things that they want to lean into, they

1172
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 4: want to take advantage of.

1173
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 5: I love Russell. Russell was a terrific player for.

1174
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: The Seattle Seahawks, and you know, it's unfortunate that, look,

1175
00:52:53,200 --> 00:52:55,600
Speaker 4: he deviated from the formula that was successful. He got

1176
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,279
Speaker 4: out of there, wanted to see if he could do

1177
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 4: things on his own and become more of a legendary

1178
00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:03,440
Speaker 4: in that regard. Look, it hasn't worked out, and now

1179
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 4: at his age thirty six thirty seven years old, he

1180
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:09,520
Speaker 4: doesn't have the athleticism to carry the team, and because

1181
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:14,120
Speaker 4: of his game where it's not always designed to operate

1182
00:53:15,239 --> 00:53:18,000
Speaker 4: in the pocket, he just has a tough time, Whereas

1183
00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:21,960
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart will give Brian Daboll the look man to

1184
00:53:22,040 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 4: du a threat playmaker that he is most comfortable with.

1185
00:53:24,760 --> 00:53:27,360
Speaker 4: I'm telling based off the success he had with Josh Allen,

1186
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:30,560
Speaker 4: Jackson Dart is more like that than Russell Wilson is

1187
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:32,520
Speaker 4: at his age, they want to get back to that.

1188
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,360
Speaker 4: So that's why I think, Look, it's only amount of

1189
00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 4: time Jackson Dart takes over. Maybe by the sixth game,

1190
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 4: six seventh game of the season, he should be in there.

1191
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm going to run this buyer right now because

1192
00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:43,879
Speaker 3: I think that Brian day Ball when he goes home,

1193
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,320
Speaker 3: talks to his confidants, maybe his family, his wife, his friends,

1194
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:51,160
Speaker 3: maybe a close assistant coach. He realizes that this team

1195
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,839
Speaker 3: is not going to go to the playoffs, and if

1196
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:56,239
Speaker 3: they do happen by chance, but happenstance.

1197
00:53:56,560 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 2: They're not going to do anything in the players, but

1198
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 2: they're not going to make the players.

1199
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 3: It'll be bad. So what he needs to play for

1200
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 3: this year is his job. That's what he needs to

1201
00:54:03,880 --> 00:54:07,120
Speaker 3: play for. So I think if he benches Russell Wilson,

1202
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:10,319
Speaker 3: if they lose today and you bench Russell today and

1203
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,960
Speaker 3: you put in Jackson Dart, at least there's an excuse

1204
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 3: factor saying, well, he's a rookie, he's learning, and maybe

1205
00:54:16,440 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 3: Brian day Ball won't lose his job after this year

1206
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,480
Speaker 3: because you don't want to change the offense again to another.

1207
00:54:22,560 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 3: That's what I have the treasure in Jacksonville. But they

1208
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: have four offensive coordinators in four years. You just can't

1209
00:54:27,719 --> 00:54:29,520
Speaker 3: do that to a guy. So if he brings in

1210
00:54:29,680 --> 00:54:33,480
Speaker 3: Jackson Dart, maybe next week they'll keep Brian dave Ball

1211
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 3: because they want to have some consistency with coach and quarterback.

1212
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 3: Am I correct on that and maybe dave Ball keeps

1213
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 3: his job.

1214
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:41,400
Speaker 4: I look, there are a lot of people that have

1215
00:54:41,480 --> 00:54:43,520
Speaker 4: tried to go there brow where they've tried to use

1216
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:45,680
Speaker 4: oh look at me, developed a young quarterback, and that's

1217
00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 4: what happened. The problem is that man if you do

1218
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,319
Speaker 4: this in week two. If you do this already, that's

1219
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 4: your card. That's your ace in the hole. There's no

1220
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 4: other trick, there's no other magic trick that you can

1221
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:59,520
Speaker 4: lean on if the team isn't playing well. So you're

1222
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:03,400
Speaker 4: to do that because now that is your that's the

1223
00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:07,400
Speaker 4: last resort, you pulling the ripcord and saying, hey, guys,

1224
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:09,840
Speaker 4: it's over. And I don't know if you want to

1225
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 4: do that right now. I don't know if you've reached

1226
00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 4: that stage of the season where you feel like you

1227
00:55:13,880 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 4: have to do it.

1228
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,720
Speaker 3: All right, we'll see what happened.

1229
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:18,399
Speaker 2: But he will be playing. You do a great He'll

1230
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: be playing before the end of the season.

1231
00:55:21,200 --> 00:55:21,919
Speaker 5: Oh one hundred percent.

1232
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 4: I mean that was I think the timeline. Yeah, Jackson

1233
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,280
Speaker 4: Dartis is gonna play, and he's gonna play a prominent

1234
00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 4: role for them. I'm just saying, if I'm brand Dave Ball,

1235
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to pull the card so soon. I

1236
00:55:33,280 --> 00:55:35,279
Speaker 4: kind of want to wait see if I can play

1237
00:55:35,280 --> 00:55:37,040
Speaker 4: it out a little longer before I have to.

1238
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 5: Go to him.

1239
00:55:37,960 --> 00:55:40,640
Speaker 3: And they may have a similar situation in Cleveland with

1240
00:55:40,719 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 3: Joe Fago and he was thirty one to forty five

1241
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:45,279
Speaker 3: two hundred and ninety yards a touchdown, but he had

1242
00:55:45,280 --> 00:55:49,280
Speaker 3: two i nts and they lost, not entirely his fault.

1243
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 3: Seventeen sixteen, they lost to Cincinnati, basically lost because they're

1244
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,560
Speaker 3: a kicker Andre Smith.

1245
00:55:55,640 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 2: And you know what they say, smit happens. You know,

1246
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:58,080
Speaker 2: that's what happens.

1247
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 3: All the time he was ride, I'd write like about

1248
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,719
Speaker 3: thirty five thirty six yards and that was the game

1249
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 3: right there. And I'm surprised he's still on the team.

1250
00:56:06,560 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 3: I thought he'd be cut like immediately, really, I really did.

1251
00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:11,880
Speaker 3: But Joe Flacco right now, I mean, I don't know

1252
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,759
Speaker 3: how long he lasts. I mean, forty one years of age.

1253
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 3: I'm amazed. I'm amazed that a forty one year old

1254
00:56:17,600 --> 00:56:20,120
Speaker 3: man can play professional football.

1255
00:56:20,160 --> 00:56:21,000
Speaker 2: Good bit or different.

1256
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:22,920
Speaker 3: Just the fact that he could suit up and go

1257
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 3: to work at forty one years.

1258
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 2: Of age and play professional football, I am I.

1259
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,719
Speaker 3: Mean, you played the game. Doesn't that make your head spin? Say, wow,

1260
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 3: forty one playing football?

1261
00:56:33,239 --> 00:56:35,439
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, it's supposed to be a young

1262
00:56:35,480 --> 00:56:38,719
Speaker 4: man's game and you're not supposed to be playing at

1263
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:39,240
Speaker 4: that age.

1264
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,960
Speaker 5: But look that's how they want to do it. And

1265
00:56:42,040 --> 00:56:42,959
Speaker 5: you know they want to play.

1266
00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 4: They want to see if they can stretch it out.

1267
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,759
Speaker 4: He's supposed to add some stability to this team, which

1268
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,840
Speaker 4: is why Kevin Stefanski has him as a starter. The

1269
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 4: thing about when you're forty you can do a lot,

1270
00:56:55,640 --> 00:56:57,520
Speaker 4: but man, you certainly can't.

1271
00:56:57,400 --> 00:57:00,399
Speaker 5: Do it week after week after week just reliant on him.

1272
00:57:02,760 --> 00:57:04,200
Speaker 5: I don't know how long this will go.

1273
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 4: I know they will have some success with him for

1274
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:09,400
Speaker 4: a short term. I don't know if he can be

1275
00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 4: the long term solution, meaning the entire season.

1276
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's gotta be surprised as well, don't you think.

1277
00:57:14,400 --> 00:57:16,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this guy was on the couch two years

1278
00:57:16,160 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 3: ago and they brought him back, so he probably feel

1279
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,760
Speaker 3: it to be just like an interim guy. Now he

1280
00:57:19,800 --> 00:57:22,880
Speaker 3: becomes his daughter in Cleveland. I mean, it's just shocking

1281
00:57:22,920 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 3: to him, as is to everybody else.

1282
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:26,240
Speaker 5: Oh, one hundred percent. Yeah, it has to be.

1283
00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:30,560
Speaker 4: I mean, it certainly is a shock that he is

1284
00:57:30,600 --> 00:57:32,320
Speaker 4: a starting quarterback in the league. He has to be

1285
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 4: pinching himself to think that I am a starter.

1286
00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 3: Right, we're going to continue with this. It's got a

Speaker 2: They posted right after we get up the year.

1340
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:04,160
Speaker 3: Now we have another quarterback we need to touch on

1341
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,880
Speaker 3: because we had the Big seven, the big seven that

1342
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 3: came into Vets, the Ogs, the OG's buck that came

1343
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,800
Speaker 3: last week. It's good to see that Sam Donald from

1344
01:00:12,840 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 3: the Seahawks passed for one point fifty no touchdowns.

1345
01:00:16,240 --> 01:00:16,840
Speaker 2: They lost.

1346
01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:19,720
Speaker 3: They did the Seahawks seventeen thirteenth to the forty nine ers.

1347
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 3: Seattle gained two hundred thirty yards, second lowest total since

1348
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 3: Mike McDonald became coach over there. What's the deal now

1349
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,280
Speaker 3: with Sam Donald? Future yay or a thumbs up, thumbs down?

1350
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,400
Speaker 4: Look, man, I'm still reserving the right to come back

1351
01:00:34,440 --> 01:00:36,080
Speaker 4: and check on Sam.

1352
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 5: I think Clinton KBIAC knows him.

1353
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,360
Speaker 4: Will haven't spent time on the Viking staff with Kevin O'Connor.

1354
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,240
Speaker 4: I'm sure they've had plenty of conversations about how to

1355
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:48,360
Speaker 4: unlock and his talents, but we've only seen Sam only

1356
01:00:48,400 --> 01:00:49,920
Speaker 4: do this one time in his career. He did it

1357
01:00:49,960 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 4: one year, that was last year, and then it fell

1358
01:00:51,640 --> 01:00:55,400
Speaker 4: apart when he got the pressure escalated as we got.

1359
01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 5: Close to the postseason. Which one is gonna show up?

1360
01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 5: So I have my doubts. I need see what he's like.

1361
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:03,040
Speaker 4: What is he going to be like when they really

1362
01:01:03,080 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 4: need him? Can he deliver? Can he step up to

1363
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 4: the plate and play at a high level?

1364
01:01:08,600 --> 01:01:08,920
Speaker 5: All right?

1365
01:01:08,960 --> 01:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying now speaking of quarterbacks.

1366
01:01:11,720 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 3: The San Francisco forty nine is they're not going to

1367
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,240
Speaker 3: put quarterback brock Party on the injury reserve. That kind

1368
01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 3: of means to me that that turf toe like injury

1369
01:01:20,200 --> 01:01:22,200
Speaker 3: and how I mean living to that in a second,

1370
01:01:22,360 --> 01:01:23,960
Speaker 3: it's going to be healed in time, so he won't

1371
01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 3: miss as many games as four perhaps. Talk about this

1372
01:01:26,960 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 3: turf toe thing. I hear it all the time. What

1373
01:01:28,720 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 3: exactly is it? How serious is it? And how do

1374
01:01:31,240 --> 01:01:31,760
Speaker 3: you get it?

1375
01:01:34,440 --> 01:01:38,760
Speaker 4: Think about stubbing your toe like, think about kicking the

1376
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:43,000
Speaker 4: night stand or the coffee table with your toe, and

1377
01:01:43,040 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 4: how that pain feels well, turf.

1378
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:45,840
Speaker 5: Toe is similar.

1379
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 4: It's right up on the ball of your foot, so

1380
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 4: like your big toe, primarily like you can't do anything

1381
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,920
Speaker 4: like we never know how important our toes are, particular

1382
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 4: big toe, until we have an injury. But it's everything

1383
01:01:57,440 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 4: how you ground, how you walk, how you do everything.

1384
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:03,160
Speaker 4: So if that is impact, it changes everything about who

1385
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:03,560
Speaker 4: you are.

1386
01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,040
Speaker 5: And it takes a while because it's painful. You have

1387
01:02:06,080 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 5: to be able to play through the pain.

1388
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,880
Speaker 4: Sometimes they'll put a little steal thing and your shoot

1389
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 4: like to keep it from bending in those things. But yeah,

1390
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 4: it's a cumbersome thing to have to overcome.

1391
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:18,120
Speaker 3: Did you ever have it when you played?

1392
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:21,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I had my rookie season. It's terrible.

1393
01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 3: Wow. Is it more more for an offensive player to

1394
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:26,400
Speaker 3: get that than a defensive player?

1395
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:29,080
Speaker 5: Or could have anybody is random.

1396
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:30,920
Speaker 4: It can happen at any time. Make you just be

1397
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 4: running around on the turf doing something. You kind of

1398
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 4: step wrong and your foot rolls wrong, and yeah, it's

1399
01:02:37,160 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 4: and it takes forever for that thing to come back.

1400
01:02:40,240 --> 01:02:40,439
Speaker 5: Wow.

1401
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,160
Speaker 3: All right, let's hope about the forty nine for just

1402
01:02:42,200 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 3: a second. They're playing the Saints today and they've already

1403
01:02:44,520 --> 01:02:46,440
Speaker 3: placed a little pro tight end George Kittle on the

1404
01:02:46,440 --> 01:02:49,360
Speaker 3: injury reserved. He's had a hamstring injury the first half

1405
01:02:49,400 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 3: of the list Sunday's game, and he's going to come back,

1406
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:54,760
Speaker 3: I guess in Week six against the Buccaneers, and then

1407
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:56,640
Speaker 3: he's going to be thirty two years old right about

1408
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:59,200
Speaker 3: that time as well. I got to ask, last year

1409
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 3: they were decimated injuries to forty nine ers. They finished

1410
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 3: six and eleven.

1411
01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,840
Speaker 2: Is there is it bad luck or is there a reason?

1412
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Why is it lack of training technique, bad bid trainers

1413
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:12,560
Speaker 3: on the team. Why is this team more than any

1414
01:03:12,600 --> 01:03:15,240
Speaker 3: other in my mind, suffering injuries like they are?

1415
01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:19,680
Speaker 5: You know, it's weird.

1416
01:03:19,720 --> 01:03:21,680
Speaker 4: I mean, this is a team that really gets after it.

1417
01:03:21,720 --> 01:03:23,840
Speaker 4: People look up to them in terms of how they play,

1418
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,920
Speaker 4: the Shanahan system, the physicality. People talk about that, but

1419
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:31,360
Speaker 4: you haven't had that. Haven't had good luck? Man, They've

1420
01:03:31,360 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 4: been seize injuries and those things, and you just got

1421
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:40,600
Speaker 4: to be able to navigate around it to win, you know,

1422
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 4: That's what they're talked about.

1423
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 5: When the championship has a lot to do.

1424
01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 4: With fortune in phage, you got to be lucky to

1425
01:03:45,120 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 4: get there, and injuries are are part of the luck.

1426
01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,720
Speaker 5: Situation and they just have not avoided the injury book.

1427
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 3: All right, So today the forty nine ers under center

1428
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:56,880
Speaker 3: love Mac Jones. This is the kid that was a

1429
01:03:56,960 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 3: national champion when he played for Alabama.

1430
01:03:59,040 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 2: He went about.

1431
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 3: Fifteen, I think it was to the Patriots, drafted in

1432
01:04:03,320 --> 01:04:05,520
Speaker 3: the first round by Bill Belichick, the first one ever

1433
01:04:05,600 --> 01:04:06,280
Speaker 3: by Belichick.

1434
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,360
Speaker 2: Drafted in the first round.

1435
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 3: After a Pro Bowl season in twenty twenty one, and

1436
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 3: then he fell out of favor. Bill Belichick benched the guy.

1437
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 3: He wouldn't play him. Here's the guy that was benched,

1438
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 3: and then he was traded to your Jags back in

1439
01:04:19,680 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four. He started seven games and then he

1440
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 3: signed with the forty nine ers this passed offseason. So

1441
01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:29,240
Speaker 3: you know a little bit about Mac Jones. What's the story.

1442
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,680
Speaker 2: Can he make it? I mean Bill Belichick really didn't

1443
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:33,120
Speaker 2: give much of a shot.

1444
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:37,280
Speaker 5: Man.

1445
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:39,080
Speaker 4: If you watch him pradute, you would think he could

1446
01:04:39,080 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 4: make it because the confidence is there in those things.

1447
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 4: He has a vibe about him when it comes to

1448
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:48,400
Speaker 4: the teammates and those things. But then he gets in

1449
01:04:48,440 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 4: the game and he forgets what his restrictions and limitations are.

1450
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 4: Mac Jones can be a really effective quarterback in the league.

1451
01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 4: If he understands where the Lions are drawn with his

1452
01:04:58,760 --> 01:05:00,240
Speaker 4: talent and if he plays to.

1453
01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,640
Speaker 5: His skill set, he'll be successful.

1454
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 4: But he has a tendency to want to do too much,

1455
01:05:06,640 --> 01:05:10,280
Speaker 4: and he does it in critical moments, and ultimately, I

1456
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 4: think that's his albatross, his achilles heel, and that's gonna

1457
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 4: be Look, man, that's gonna be the thing that helps

1458
01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 4: hurts him as the Nineers are trying to lean on

1459
01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:20,680
Speaker 4: their backup quarterback.

1460
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:22,479
Speaker 3: All right, I hear what you're saying.

1461
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 2: Okay, Now, let's talk about which I think is going

1462
01:05:24,920 --> 01:05:25,760
Speaker 2: to be the game of the day.

1463
01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,320
Speaker 3: It's going to be on Fox Eastern time about four

1464
01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:31,240
Speaker 3: to twenty five. The Philadelphia Eagles go to Kansas City.

1465
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 3: Kansas City's own one I ventured. I guess I don't

1466
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:37,120
Speaker 3: see them being oer and two. But we'll see Eagles

1467
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 3: are one and oher right now. Eagles dominated the Chiefs

1468
01:05:39,880 --> 01:05:42,760
Speaker 3: in the Super Bowl. And when they dominated the Chiefs,

1469
01:05:42,800 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 3: and the last time they played it wasn't so much

1470
01:05:45,800 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 3: offensive defense. I think they dominated them in the trenches

1471
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:51,439
Speaker 3: on the line play. I mean, you got those big

1472
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,240
Speaker 3: beef guys on Philadelphia on the offensive line.

1473
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 2: You talk about the tush push. Many teams would love

1474
01:05:57,280 --> 01:05:59,040
Speaker 2: to try to do it. They can't do it.

1475
01:05:59,080 --> 01:06:01,640
Speaker 3: They don't have three hundred fifty plus offensive lineman to

1476
01:06:01,760 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 3: do that.

1477
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:02,600
Speaker 2: Really.

1478
01:06:02,680 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 3: I saw even the college game last night they tried

1479
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 3: to do that with Georgia and Tennessee.

1480
01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 2: You can't.

1481
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 3: You need to have beef to do a touch push

1482
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,240
Speaker 3: at Philadelphia has it?

1483
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean like phil if he does have it,

1484
01:06:14,840 --> 01:06:17,520
Speaker 4: they also are committed to it, like they it's their thing.

1485
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 4: This is what they do, so they spend a lot

1486
01:06:19,320 --> 01:06:21,520
Speaker 4: of time into it. And whenever you pick up and

1487
01:06:21,560 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 4: do a new scheme, it's not only the scheme that

1488
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 4: you're doing, but do you have the answers to the

1489
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 4: counter taxis that opponents will throw at you. You have

1490
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 4: to have a lot of experience and expertise before you

1491
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 4: make those moves and the touch push. Even though it

1492
01:06:34,800 --> 01:06:39,360
Speaker 4: may seem simple at a first glance, Look, man, there's

1493
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 4: some execution and some expertise that comes along with making

1494
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:45,120
Speaker 4: sure that you're able to be successful doing it time

1495
01:06:45,160 --> 01:06:47,120
Speaker 4: after time after time when everyone knows you're doing it.

1496
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,640
Speaker 2: Okay, here's the question of the day.

1497
01:06:49,880 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 3: Saquon Barkley rushed for over two thousand yards last year,

1498
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,440
Speaker 3: and I think that today the game plan for the

1499
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:56,440
Speaker 3: Eagles obviously is going to put that ball in the

1500
01:06:56,440 --> 01:06:57,200
Speaker 3: belly of Saquon.

1501
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 2: Let him run.

1502
01:06:57,800 --> 01:06:59,880
Speaker 3: Okay, you didn't run much last week. Let him run.

1503
01:07:00,200 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 3: Would he be as successful on a different team, because

1504
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 3: I think that offensive line gets at least a percentage

1505
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,880
Speaker 3: of the success and the credit for what sa Kwon

1506
01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 3: Barkley did last year.

1507
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 4: A little bit, but I mean he game in two

1508
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 4: thousand yards. He does deserve a lot of credit. He

1509
01:07:15,600 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 4: enhanced what they had. They had running backs that played

1510
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:19,960
Speaker 4: in the same system of those same players, and they

1511
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 4: couldn't pop and deliver like him. That's why he deserves

1512
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:26,439
Speaker 4: some credit for it. But mutually beneficial, like the team

1513
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:26,960
Speaker 4: helped him.

1514
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:27,560
Speaker 5: He up the team.

1515
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:29,720
Speaker 4: They needed a beil Calt running back, someone with some

1516
01:07:29,760 --> 01:07:30,479
Speaker 4: explosive pop.

1517
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 5: He delivered.

1518
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 4: He needed an offensive line that could allow him to

1519
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,280
Speaker 4: get to the running game.

1520
01:07:36,160 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 5: To do some of the things he did at Penn State.

1521
01:07:37,920 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 3: He what you're saying, I mean, obviously, but I don't

1522
01:07:39,520 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 3: think he's gonna get on two thousand this year, and

1523
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:43,040
Speaker 3: maybe there's no need for him to get two thousand

1524
01:07:43,280 --> 01:07:45,040
Speaker 3: you know, we talked about the forty nine ers. With

1525
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 3: the injuries that they're having right now, the Chiefs are

1526
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:49,800
Speaker 3: hurting it receiver. So you got Hollywood Brown coming up there,

1527
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 3: Juju Smith Schuster, He's going to be playing today as well.

1528
01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 3: They need these guys, and I'm not so certain the

1529
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:59,320
Speaker 3: Chiefs can win against the Eagles.

1530
01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 2: However, that think the one thing to have going for

1531
01:08:01,160 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 2: them is the game.

1532
01:08:02,200 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 3: Is in Kansas City and Tata is going to be there,

1533
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:06,439
Speaker 3: so the fact that it's a home game is gonna

1534
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:09,919
Speaker 3: be a major factor. I think that if they get

1535
01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:12,040
Speaker 3: one and a half points at home, I believe and

1536
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 3: I a lot of game. I just happened to take

1537
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:16,200
Speaker 3: a glance at that simply because this is a pretty

1538
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:17,680
Speaker 3: big game. I think it's the best game when there's

1539
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,639
Speaker 3: slate today. But who do you like in this one?

1540
01:08:19,600 --> 01:08:21,360
Speaker 3: I find if I am a betting man, I think

1541
01:08:21,400 --> 01:08:22,360
Speaker 3: I'm going with the Eagles.

1542
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:27,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Eagles on this one. The

1543
01:08:27,200 --> 01:08:29,720
Speaker 4: Eagles are the better team. I will say that the

1544
01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:31,800
Speaker 4: Chiefs are the more desperate team because they know, man,

1545
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 4: you don't want to fall behind the race, regardless with

1546
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 4: Pat Mahomes.

1547
01:08:36,520 --> 01:08:39,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, so let's let's go to New Shiny Toy. Let's

1548
01:08:39,640 --> 01:08:40,960
Speaker 5: seet see if you can see.

1549
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,920
Speaker 4: Uh the Eagles as the back to back champs, but

1550
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 4: it starts with a big win against Case.

1551
01:08:46,520 --> 01:08:48,800
Speaker 3: All Right, guys, I mentioned coming up to the sevement,

1552
01:08:48,800 --> 01:08:50,320
Speaker 3: I've got some good news. They got some bad news.

1553
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 3: They got the good news and the bad news. Right now,

1554
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 3: the Broncos are playing the coat. Both teams are want

1555
01:08:54,760 --> 01:08:57,519
Speaker 3: to know. The good news is the Broncos won. They're

1556
01:08:57,560 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 3: opening last week over Tennessee. The bad news, I would

1557
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:02,200
Speaker 3: have to guess. I mean, if you look at the

1558
01:09:02,200 --> 01:09:05,280
Speaker 3: coaching staff and they're saying this is bon Nicks. Their quarterback,

1559
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:08,080
Speaker 3: the second year quarterback right now, had two I t's,

1560
01:09:08,360 --> 01:09:11,120
Speaker 3: he lost the fumble, and his passer inning was a sixty.

1561
01:09:11,320 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 3: So that's the bad news right there. How do you

1562
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:14,880
Speaker 3: fix bone knicks and there's not going to be a

1563
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 3: problem going down the stretch.

1564
01:09:18,240 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 5: Get back to basics. That's how you fix them. Get

1565
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 5: back to basis, get back to doing the things that

1566
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 5: you've done really really well.

1567
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 4: Get back to that. Focus on that, and if you

1568
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 4: focus on that, you can have success. I think that's

1569
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 4: what they'll do. They'll focus on Hey man, this makes

1570
01:09:30,160 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 4: sure we do the little things right.

1571
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:32,960
Speaker 5: We do little things right, all the other stuff will

1572
01:09:32,960 --> 01:09:33,760
Speaker 5: fall back into place.

1573
01:09:34,320 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 4: That's what Sean Payton, that's the conversation he will have

1574
01:09:36,439 --> 01:09:38,200
Speaker 4: with Bo Nicks and Bo next year perform better.

1575
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:41,360
Speaker 3: And the good news is you mentioned Sean Payton. He's

1576
01:09:41,400 --> 01:09:43,840
Speaker 3: the perfect guy to get it fixed. I mean, I

1577
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:47,800
Speaker 3: don't think the other coaches right now have that offensive no,

1578
01:09:47,960 --> 01:09:50,679
Speaker 3: how as you will as Sean Payton. They're a couple,

1579
01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 3: you know. I think Andy Reid's right there, right up

1580
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:55,800
Speaker 3: there too. But Sean Payn's one of the best. He

1581
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:56,400
Speaker 3: really is.

1582
01:09:58,560 --> 01:10:00,000
Speaker 5: He is he understands how to do it.

1583
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 4: I remember, no one counted on the Broncos being to

1584
01:10:03,240 --> 01:10:05,320
Speaker 4: get through it last year. In fact, after his first game,

1585
01:10:05,360 --> 01:10:07,759
Speaker 4: people talked about, oh my god, what Sean Payton seeing

1586
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 4: Bo Nicks.

1587
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:09,519
Speaker 5: But he stayed.

1588
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 4: Of course, he found a way and they got better

1589
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,880
Speaker 4: and better and better. So now he's a e an

1590
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:17,439
Speaker 4: elite dude. But it goes through the development. You have

1591
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,000
Speaker 4: to develop him. You got to be committed to that

1592
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 4: part of the process.

1593
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:22,759
Speaker 3: And let me tell you a little story about Sean Payton,

1594
01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:25,679
Speaker 3: if I may, all right, Sean Payton started way back

1595
01:10:25,800 --> 01:10:28,719
Speaker 3: when at Miami of Ohio, which is the cradle of coaches,

1596
01:10:28,720 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 3: Miami of Ohio and Oxford, which is about maybe thirty

1597
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,960
Speaker 3: five miles up the road from Cincinnati, Ohio. Great coaches there,

1598
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 3: the late Paul Brown there. They all went to Miami

1599
01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 3: of Ohio. All right, and back in the day, I

1600
01:10:40,439 --> 01:10:42,639
Speaker 3: wanted to get Sean Payton on as a radio guest,

1601
01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,720
Speaker 3: and he told me, and you're in Cincinnati, no, you

1602
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 3: may want to try while you're in town. He loves

1603
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 3: Skyline Chili. I don't know why, but he loves Skyline Chili.

1604
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 3: And I sent them a box of Skyline Chili and

1605
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:55,519
Speaker 3: I got him on the radio for doing that. So

1606
01:10:56,520 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 3: if you want to get under the good favor of

1607
01:10:58,880 --> 01:11:02,559
Speaker 3: Sean Payton mis mentioned Skyline Chili, he'll go crazy when

1608
01:11:02,600 --> 01:11:03,160
Speaker 3: you say that.

1609
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 5: All right, Okay, I did. I did see it. I

1610
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:10,240
Speaker 5: have tried it before. It not really my jam.

1611
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:12,360
Speaker 4: I'm not really a chili person, but I have seen it.

1612
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 4: I know it comes on the bitter spaghetti and all

1613
01:11:14,720 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 4: that other stuff. Just not not the jam for me.

1614
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:20,080
Speaker 4: My little tummy. I'm a little sensitive. My little tummy

1615
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:20,720
Speaker 4: can't take it.

1616
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 2: I think you get different different.

1617
01:11:23,200 --> 01:11:25,439
Speaker 3: You get the spaghetti with the chili on top, and

1618
01:11:25,479 --> 01:11:28,280
Speaker 3: you could have beans and onions on there as well

1619
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:28,760
Speaker 3: if you want.

1620
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 4: Oh, my tummy is flipping and flopping right now just

1621
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 4: thinking about all that in my belly. You know, I'm

1622
01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,360
Speaker 4: a little sensitive California dude, there, Andy, but I have

1623
01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:41,160
Speaker 4: seen it. In fact, Uh, I think it's right there

1624
01:11:41,160 --> 01:11:44,080
Speaker 4: at the airport. There's a little there's a little thing. Uh,

1625
01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 4: Scott and the team.

1626
01:11:45,520 --> 01:11:46,479
Speaker 2: I got to a little person.

1627
01:11:46,600 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 3: The team have a team dinner last night at a

1628
01:11:48,840 --> 01:11:51,559
Speaker 3: local restaurant, did they No?

1629
01:11:51,680 --> 01:11:54,439
Speaker 4: I mean like the team always has the stuff in

1630
01:11:54,479 --> 01:11:57,800
Speaker 4: the in the hotel, and then people will venture out

1631
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 4: on their own, but the team always has something for

1632
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:00,479
Speaker 4: the team hotel.

1633
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 5: They won't go out.

1634
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:02,800
Speaker 2: Now did you venture out? I'm just curious. Did you

1635
01:12:02,920 --> 01:12:03,559
Speaker 2: venture out?

1636
01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:06,040
Speaker 1: No?

1637
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 4: I mean like we ate dinner or whatever. But that

1638
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 4: was that was kind of it, kind of standard.

1639
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 5: No.

1640
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,519
Speaker 2: I think maybe to Jeff Ruby's restaurant in town.

1641
01:12:14,240 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no, I don't know anything about Queen

1642
01:12:17,200 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 4: City like that.

1643
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:21,040
Speaker 3: Okay, this was a double check on that. Let me

1644
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:22,599
Speaker 3: squeeze it one more. But this is a pretty good

1645
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 3: game right now, because you've got the Bears going to Detroit.

1646
01:12:25,400 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 3: Both teams are zero and one, and we'll see what

1647
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 3: happens right now, because you know, the coaches are going

1648
01:12:30,280 --> 01:12:33,880
Speaker 3: to go back to their starting roots, so to speak,

1649
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 3: and the Bears right now, the offense last week with

1650
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 3: the Bears was sort of non existent, but the Lions

1651
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,280
Speaker 3: only had thirteen points in their opener, so it's going

1652
01:12:44,320 --> 01:12:46,880
Speaker 3: to be a low scoring game. I think I still

1653
01:12:46,880 --> 01:12:49,639
Speaker 3: believe the Lions personnel wise are better than the Bears.

1654
01:12:49,800 --> 01:12:51,960
Speaker 3: I still think the Lions would this game, but that'll

1655
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:52,679
Speaker 3: be a tough one.

1656
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm gona going to the Lions.

1657
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:59,400
Speaker 4: And look, there's a lot of pressure right now on

1658
01:12:59,400 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 4: both of these Teamsiams and the way that the Bears

1659
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 4: loss puts pressure on being Johnson justin turns of.

1660
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:07,799
Speaker 5: Me, boy wanted the Wizard, Kayla. Williams didn't look.

1661
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:10,559
Speaker 4: Great, you know, and you begin to wonder, man, is

1662
01:13:10,600 --> 01:13:12,760
Speaker 4: it we keep talking about the scheme and the team

1663
01:13:12,840 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 4: and this that maybe it's him with being Johnson's John

1664
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,879
Speaker 4: Morton living in the shadows of being Johnson, been across

1665
01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:22,519
Speaker 4: the field from him, being able to see him and

1666
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:24,560
Speaker 4: know that he can critique that offense.

1667
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:25,720
Speaker 5: Like why are they doing that. We didn't do that

1668
01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 5: when I was there. What is this?

1669
01:13:26,920 --> 01:13:30,240
Speaker 4: He's messing up my product, my masterpiece. A lot of

1670
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:30,920
Speaker 4: pressure there.

1671
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:33,160
Speaker 3: But well, I mean there is pressure there, But I

1672
01:13:33,280 --> 01:13:36,080
Speaker 3: tell you what, the game of the day, I think

1673
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,680
Speaker 3: one of those games that I would always say if

1674
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 3: it was in my backyard, I closed the curtains. The

1675
01:13:40,080 --> 01:13:42,479
Speaker 3: Patriots are at the Dolphins right now. You talking about pressure,

1676
01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 3: this pressure on that coaching staff in Miami. But we'll

1677
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,960
Speaker 3: get into that and so much more. But right now,

1678
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,080

Speaker 3: I want to talk to my executive produce here. What

1690
01:14:20,760 --> 01:14:23,280
Speaker 3: is happening right now? Because I'm confused. I'm not that smart.

1691
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 3: What are we doing here with the blame game? Could

1692
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 3: you help me out there?

1693
01:14:25,720 --> 01:14:28,320
Speaker 8: I need I need you to run point on this.

1694
01:14:28,920 --> 01:14:32,360
Speaker 3: Andy, you know what I should write the question? I

1695
01:14:32,439 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 3: answered the question.

1696
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:38,479
Speaker 2: You are going to ask the question? Yes, okay, Mark?

1697
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:39,519
Speaker 2: Can we have Mark do it?

1698
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:39,800
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1699
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:40,160
Speaker 3: There you go.

1700
01:14:40,200 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 5: We'll have Mark do it.

1701
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it looks like I'll be cheating if I

1702
01:14:43,560 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 2: did that, right? That is true?

1703
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 5: That is true.

1704
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:47,879
Speaker 2: I guess it was going to be a Bucky Brooks

1705
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,160
Speaker 2: edition of the blame Game and how much blame he

1706
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:51,080
Speaker 2: was going to put.

1707
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:54,240
Speaker 3: Okay, so let's do let's do this. Mark do it,

1708
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:56,599
Speaker 3: and we'll get going. Right now, let's do the blame

1709
01:14:56,640 --> 01:15:01,000
Speaker 3: game with me. It's all your fault. No, it's your fault.

1710
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:09,800
Speaker 2: Why is all your fault? Maybe it's everyone's fault.

1711
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:12,439
Speaker 1: The liar. That's why there's the blame game. Let's figure

1712
01:15:12,479 --> 01:15:15,519
Speaker 1: out who to blame? Yeah, who to played?

1713
01:15:15,520 --> 01:15:15,720
Speaker 3: Mark?

1714
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:18,120
Speaker 2: Are you ready? This is your first experience. You're a

1715
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 2: virgin in the blame game.

1716
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 6: You know that, don't you?

1717
01:15:20,680 --> 01:15:22,360
Speaker 2: Are you ready? Absolutely?

1718
01:15:22,360 --> 01:15:25,680
Speaker 3: I know? Number Well, whatever that is, Okay, do you

1719
01:15:25,720 --> 01:15:27,720
Speaker 3: want to like throw out a first question for us,

1720
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:29,599
Speaker 3: I mean the blame game question.

1721
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:35,200
Speaker 9: So, Bucky, who is to blame when it comes to

1722
01:15:37,439 --> 01:15:43,479
Speaker 9: whether the w NBA likes Caitlyn Clark or doesn't like

1723
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:44,599
Speaker 9: Caitlyn Clark?

1724
01:15:45,200 --> 01:15:45,639
Speaker 5: Geez?

1725
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,920
Speaker 4: I would say that this is immediate creation and fascination.

1726
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,879
Speaker 4: There's been so much talk about Kaitlyn Clark that naturally

1727
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:58,560
Speaker 4: when you talk about somebody so much, that naturally.

1728
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:00,599
Speaker 5: You create a legion of haters.

1729
01:16:00,680 --> 01:16:02,759
Speaker 4: And so I would say the media is to blame

1730
01:16:02,840 --> 01:16:05,200
Speaker 4: just because so much attention has been focused on her,

1731
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 4: that is taken away from some of the attention that

1732
01:16:07,520 --> 01:16:09,719
Speaker 4: should rightfully go to some others.

1733
01:16:09,800 --> 01:16:12,479
Speaker 3: So that's why, well, I'm going to go one stuff

1734
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:13,720
Speaker 3: for at the end of the media has kind of

1735
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:15,920
Speaker 3: rolled with it because it's real easy. But I think

1736
01:16:15,960 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 3: it all started back when the LSU team played Iowa

1737
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 3: in the ncuble A's and Angel Resenter got into it

1738
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:26,799
Speaker 3: a little bit and a little competition there, maybe jealousy, envy, whatever.

1739
01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:27,040
Speaker 2: It may be.

1740
01:16:27,120 --> 01:16:31,360
Speaker 3: So I think that the media thinks that Angel Reese

1741
01:16:31,520 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 3: dislikes Caitlin Clock.

1742
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:33,519
Speaker 2: And I run with that.

1743
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 3: So I think Angel is a little bit to blame

1744
01:16:36,040 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 3: on that we'll see, but.

1745
01:16:36,840 --> 01:16:39,760
Speaker 2: Who knows who cares? Go ahead, Mark, give us another one.

1746
01:16:39,840 --> 01:16:42,640
Speaker 9: Okay, So now that it's in the second week of

1747
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 9: the football season, Andy, who is to blame when it

1748
01:16:47,880 --> 01:16:52,760
Speaker 9: comes to some of the teams not being able to

1749
01:16:53,479 --> 01:16:55,439
Speaker 9: hold their end up when it comes to being a

1750
01:16:55,479 --> 01:17:00,120
Speaker 9: good team, Because my view, some teams are like practice

1751
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 9: and there are other teams that are contenders. So who's

1752
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:06,360
Speaker 9: to blame for some of these teams just being like

1753
01:17:06,880 --> 01:17:07,719
Speaker 9: practice teams?

1754
01:17:08,640 --> 01:17:11,719
Speaker 3: Well, I will say this, I think that the media

1755
01:17:11,880 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 3: blames coaches at all times. But after talking to the

1756
01:17:16,280 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 3: maven of football, and that's Bucky Brooks, I'd have to

1757
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,040
Speaker 3: say it's personnel or lock thereof.

1758
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:23,160
Speaker 2: If you're not a good team. If you're not good,

1759
01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:25,719
Speaker 2: you're not gonna win. That's basically the bottom line.

1760
01:17:25,800 --> 01:17:27,400
Speaker 3: And if you don't have a quarterback in the National

1761
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:29,639
Speaker 3: Football League, forget it. You have no chance at all.

1762
01:17:29,840 --> 01:17:31,680
Speaker 3: So that's why the forty nine ers today are going

1763
01:17:31,720 --> 01:17:34,240
Speaker 3: to be in bad shade. Mac Jones is playing quarterback.

1764
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:37,519
Speaker 3: I mean, the Saints, come on, really, Bucket Brooks should

1765
01:17:37,520 --> 01:17:39,280
Speaker 3: come out of retirement and play quarterback for them. So

1766
01:17:39,439 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 3: it's personnel that's the problem, Bucky.

1767
01:17:42,960 --> 01:17:46,759
Speaker 4: Yeah, Look, personnel, there's everything. Personnel dictates what you're supposed

1768
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:48,639
Speaker 4: to doing. Great coaches able to look at their team,

1769
01:17:48,760 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 4: assess what they have and find a way to play

1770
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:51,799
Speaker 4: to their strems.

1771
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 5: And sometimes everyone.

1772
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,000
Speaker 4: Doesn't do that because your ego is tied to playing

1773
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:58,559
Speaker 4: one way as opposed to playing the other way, which

1774
01:17:58,600 --> 01:18:00,000
Speaker 4: is what you need to do to maximze.

1775
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 9: So you have huh So my third question for the

1776
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:13,479
Speaker 9: blame game, So when it comes to just your average quarterback, Bucky,

1777
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:18,479
Speaker 9: do the coaches have a little sit down and talk

1778
01:18:18,560 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 9: them through what they're going to do each week or

1779
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,760
Speaker 9: is it just they rely on their coaches to do

1780
01:18:22,840 --> 01:18:23,679
Speaker 9: most of that work.

1781
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:28,240
Speaker 4: Now, most teams, depending on how I involved the head coaches,

1782
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 4: the head coach will also have a personal sit down

1783
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:33,280
Speaker 4: with the quarterback, go over personnel, talk about what the

1784
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 4: style of the game, how they're envision the game playing out, meaning, hey,

1785
01:18:37,760 --> 01:18:38,880
Speaker 4: this is going to be one where we want to

1786
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 4: control the cloud because we want to play keep away

1787
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,760
Speaker 4: from the opponents. So you need to make sure take

1788
01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,640
Speaker 4: advantage of the situation, slow the game down, don't make

1789
01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 4: silly mistakes. It should be an ongoing conversation throughout the

1790
01:18:49,080 --> 01:18:51,040
Speaker 4: course of the week to have a quarterback get ready

1791
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 4: to play.

1792
01:18:52,479 --> 01:18:55,679
Speaker 3: I'm going to say this, I've never been in those

1793
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,760
Speaker 3: rooms with the coaches for the game plans and things

1794
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 3: like that. When I hit coaches sleeping on couches, staying

1795
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,439
Speaker 3: up till one o'clock in the morning putting together a

1796
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,200
Speaker 3: game plan, and it ain't that difficult.

1797
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 2: It's not that hard. It really isn't.

1798
01:19:08,800 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 3: I think that's one of those things that the public thinks, Wow,

1799
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,560
Speaker 3: you gotta be like a nuclear physicist, I mean to

1800
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:15,639
Speaker 3: do that stuff.

1801
01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:16,800
Speaker 2: So that's not the key.

1802
01:19:16,960 --> 01:19:19,479
Speaker 3: The key. The key is like, we know what they have,

1803
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 3: we know what we have. What could we do like

1804
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,360
Speaker 3: a chess game to kind of beat them? That's basically

1805
01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:29,160
Speaker 3: it really, so don't overlook what coaches really done. My

1806
01:19:29,280 --> 01:19:31,960
Speaker 3: right buck on that these coaches sleeping on couches and

1807
01:19:32,040 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 3: one of them want to give me a break.

1808
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:34,679
Speaker 2: They just don't want to go home.

1809
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:36,920
Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know about that.

1810
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:38,840
Speaker 4: I mean, some people got it takes a little longer

1811
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:39,679
Speaker 4: to get their work done.

1812
01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 5: I wouldn't say it's the best.

1813
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:43,000
Speaker 4: Because you're not ready to go on Sunday, you're tired,

1814
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:44,800
Speaker 4: But you gotta do what you gotta do to Prayer
