11
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:36,280
Speaker 2: Here's the man himself, my partner and friend, mister Bucky Brooks. Hello, Buck,

12
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 2: how are you?

13
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: I'm good?

14
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 4: What's going on?

15
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 3: Andy? How you doing everything? Do with you?

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: That's good. I'm glad to hear that you say. I'm wonderful.

17
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: You look even better. But I got a couple of

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,199
Speaker 2: things I want to get off my chest. If you

19
00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 2: don't mind, and if you want to criticize me, you're

20
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 2: more than welcome. And if anybody wants to call in

21
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: and say him out of my mind, that's fine too.

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: At eight seven seven ninety nine on Foxbookers, I gotta

23
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 2: get this off my chest first of all. The other night,

24
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: this is Tuesday night, I watch some college basketball to

25
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Jimmy V Classic out of Madison Square Garden. North Carolina's

26
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: playing Connecticut at the Garden on Tuesday night. This kid's

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: twenty five years old. It's his third school. He's played

28
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: at Notre Dame, he played at Stanford, now he's at

29
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: North Carolina. And the kid's dame is Cormack Ryan. I

30
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 2: don't know the kid. There's probably a good kid. It's

31
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: not his full but the announcers on TV all I

32
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: said was he must be smart. I almost choked. I

33
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 2: was ready to take a pencil and puke my eye out.

34
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 2: How could you say that this system is flawed? This

35
00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: system is a scammed three schools. I mean, look, fuck,

36
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: I know you went to North Carolina, a hell of

37
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 2: an academic school. If you ever wanted a transfer at

38
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: that point in time, you probably would have lost about

39
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: twenty thirty credit hours and you have to start all

40
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 2: over again. These kids are jumping around like like this

41
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: free agency. I think the whole system stinks. I love

42
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 2: the sport, I love watching the sport. I love the football,

43
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: love the college basketball, but this is ridiculous. I don't

44
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 2: know what you have to say about that, but I

45
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 2: think when I heard that, especially the announcers, their comment

46
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 2: is that this case must be smart. Are you freaking

47
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: kidding me? Enough? Okay, I'll let you take over on this.

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 4: Well, a couple of things.

49
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 3: He must be smart because those are three night schools,

50
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: three good schools academically, Notre Dame, Stanford and North Carolina respectively.

51
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: I am with you. It does bother me, though, like

52
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 3: so many guys are leaving and transferring and all of

53
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 3: those things. And I'm not saying that I've completely bought

54
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: into the pie of sky student athlete myth that DNCAA

55
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: used to sell. But to me, there is something about

56
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 3: going to a college, getting your degree and kind of

57
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 3: sticking it out. I worry about, like a lot of

58
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 3: these kids that are jumping in and out the portal

59
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 3: in ten, fifteen, twenty years when all of their playing

60
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 3: days are done. Now, what have they spent enough time

61
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 3: on these respective campuses to build the relationships that you

62
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 3: need to.

63
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 4: With the lums and those things.

64
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 3: Part of going to school only about getting the degree

65
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 3: and playing the sport that you play, but it's also

66
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: about like the people in the network that you meet. Like,

67
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: for me, I take a lot of pride in being

68
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 3: a tar Heel, Like it's a source of pride when

69
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 3: I meet people that also graduated from Carolina at any time.

70
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: Because there's this shared bond.

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:23,399
Speaker 3: I worry about these kids that go to three schools

72
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 3: in five years, and they are just kind of chasing,

73
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: whether it be nil or playing time opportunities as opposed

74
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 3: to kind of sitting and sticking and working through some

75
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: of the adversity that you face as a young athlete

76
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 3: and then kind of making it on the other side.

77
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: I think ultimately we're setting a lot of young people

78
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 3: up for failure because at the first sign of I

79
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: guess adversity, distress, dress whatever, they're gonna look to bounce,

80
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: as opposed to kind of sticking and trying to fight

81
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: and work that way through it.

82
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: Well said Okay, issue number two. On Monday, the transfer

83
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: place opened up and on the East Coast, by lunchtime,

84
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 2: there was more than three hundred and fifty players entering

85
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: the portal. Okay, And now there was something about college football,

86
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: honestly that everything never really made sense. But now college

87
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: football is like the NFL is like free agency. Right now,

88
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: college football is not a pro sport. I don't care

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 2: how much money they get for and it's still not

90
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: the pros And one of the bigger names to enter

91
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 2: the portal this past Monday was the Ohio State starting

92
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: quarterback Colin McCord. I couldn't believe that. It is unbelievable

93
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: what's going on now, and it's amazing to me that

94
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: this is happening. I think they said something like seven

95
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,120
Speaker 2: percent of the entire fleet of college athletics and football

96
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: college athletics and football players that played college football this

97
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 2: basical year, seven percent of the total number have entered

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 2: the portal. First of all, I think the portal should

99
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 2: not be open until after the ball games. That's my

100
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 2: take on that. And number two, this portal thing is

101
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 2: out of control. I think if you're a college football coach,

102
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 2: you have to worry about extras and o's, you have

103
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: to worry about recruiting. But more than that is the portal.

104
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: And many college coaches, as you know Buck, they've been

105
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 2: giving two, three, four years for the recruiting class to develop.

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 2: That's not happening anymore. You're a college coach, you better win,

107
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 2: like in your next year, in your second year, because

108
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: you got the portal to get players and you better

109
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: turn it around quickly otherwise you're out on your air end.

110
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there are a couple of things to that with

111
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 3: the portal, because the cal McCord thing is interesting because

112
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 3: the one thing that I wouldn't want to know the

113
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 3: cal McCord entered on his own volition or was cal

114
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 3: McCord nudged or told to go into the portal because

115
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: we're bringing somebody else in. As much as I want

116
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 3: to fall the players for also looking for ways out,

117
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 3: I want to follow the coaches for pushing some of

118
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 3: these guys into the portal. You know, Like what we

119
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 3: don't know is did Ryan day tail cal McCord. You

120
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 3: need to leave because I'm gonna bring somebody else in.

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 3: To me, that would be the million dollar question. It look,

122
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: it's troubling to me. It's troubling to me at a

123
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,919
Speaker 3: time where we and I think that we've done it

124
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 3: on our side, the media side, we've built up these

125
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and we've talked about quarterbacks and how it's the

126
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 3: most important position in football and you have to have

127
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 3: a quarterback, and it's a quarterback driven league, a quarterback

128
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 3: driven game, and I feel like we've put quarterbacks on

129
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: a pedestal that is giving them this complex where they can,

130
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: you know, just hunt and shop and bounce around and

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: move and oh, if you're gonna bring someone in to compete,

132
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: I'm gonna leave and all of those things. And I

133
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 3: worry about not only the message that it sends, because

134
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 3: it all trickles down right. It all like we see

135
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 3: in southern California high school is crazy like that, where

136
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 3: quarterbacks are leaving every other year. There's a lot of

137
00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: transfer stuff that's going on at the end of each semester,

138
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 3: and everyone that's kind of playing musical chairs trying to

139
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 3: find the spot where they can be assured that they're

140
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 3: going to be.

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 4: The starting quarterback.

142
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 3: I just worry about all of this stuff because it's

143
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 3: not reality. It's not the real world that you could

144
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 3: just kind of bounce and come and go and do

145
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,159
Speaker 3: all these other things without having to earn the right

146
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 3: to be wherever you are in the pecking order. It's

147
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 3: just not a good thing, So I'm with you. It

148
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 3: does kind of debunk a lot of the amateurism stuff

149
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 3: that we've heard about for so long. It does kind

150
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 3: of take some of the feel good story out of

151
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 3: college athletics that kind of made us tune in. I've

152
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 3: always known this big business, and I think the last

153
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 3: few weeks we have seen why it's big business. Between

154
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 3: the college football Playoff where it's a TV show as

155
00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: opposed to a playoff competition because they elected to pit

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 3: Alabama in instead of Florida State. To the numerous players

157
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 3: that jumped in the portal, yeah, this is business. It's

158
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 3: not what we used to think it was.

159
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. In the bold season right

160
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: now had a little more meaning than it does now

161
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 2: because the college coaches, most of them, we do the

162
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 2: high school recruiting in December as they were preparing for

163
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 2: the ball games. It doesn't mean a thing now. A

164
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 2: lot of players don't even want to play in the

165
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: ball games for fear of getting injured going to the

166
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: draft in the NFL. But I'm glad you brought this

167
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: Florida State thing. They win their conference, they're undefeated, they're

168
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: not in the final four. This goes against all the

169
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: committee bylaws and they say, well, they got a third

170
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 2: string quarterback. Hey, look at your history. Twenty fourteen, Cardell Jones,

171
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 2: a third stringer in Ohio State took over JT. Barrett.

172
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 2: It amazes me. And look, I understand the governor of

173
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: Florida's getting involved. Nothing's gonna happen, nothing's going to change

174
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: next year. They got twelve teams that I'm happy for that,

175
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 2: but Florida State got screwed, blued and tattooed. They really did.

176
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,600
Speaker 2: I'm not a big Florida State fan. I just want

177
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 2: to see them follow the rules. And the rules were

178
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,319
Speaker 2: you win your conference, you're going defeated. How in the

179
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 2: hell aren't you win the final four.

180
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a debate all week, and I understand,

181
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: you know, being a TV show, and I understand people

182
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 3: being able to look around and say that, yeah, like

183
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 3: Jordan Travis not being there, they're not the same team.

184
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 3: But one of the beauties of football in particular, you

185
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 3: always hear people talk about next man up, and we

186
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 3: have seen this be called the ultimate team game. How

187
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 3: you have to have everybody to be able to win

188
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 3: a championship. And as much as we romanticize the quarterback position,

189
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 3: and it is very important, and I won't even deny

190
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 3: that it's not the most.

191
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 4: Important position in the game.

192
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: Because they touched the ball on every play and the

193
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: decisions that they may ultimately can determine whether you win

194
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 3: or lose. There is something about seeing how people get

195
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 3: it done. That's why different teams play with different styles.

196
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: That's why some teams are able to lean on running

197
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 3: game defense, special teams to win games as opposed to

198
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: the quarterback throwing all over the yard. To me, styles

199
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 3: make fights, and if you do allow Florida State to participate,

200
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: what you're doing is then you have an opportunity to

201
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 3: appreciate maybe Mike Norvil's greatness as he finds a way

202
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 3: to try and navigate around a tough situation with the quarterback.

203
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, Look, it was always going to

204
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 3: be flawed when you have five Power five conferences and

205
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 3: only four spots, was always going to be left out.

206
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 3: I just think it's unfortunate that Florida State is left

207
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 3: out this time around. When you're undefeated, you win a conference,

208
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 3: and by all accounts, you've done everything that you're expected

209
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 3: to do to be a team that deserved a playoff.

210
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: Bern Well said, I'll tell you, well, let's go about

211
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: this Heisman Trophy last night. Let's use Jayden Daniels win it.

212
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 2: This guy's another transfer guy. He started his career at

213
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 2: Arizona State. Coach to LSU. Now look maybe on way

214
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: off base, Okay, And I'll tell you this because they say,

215
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 2: in my mind, I think the Heisman Trophy should be

216
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: is the best player in college athletics in football or

217
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 2: the most valuable player. I still don't know the entire definition.

218
00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 2: I'll be honest with you. I do get a vote

219
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,199
Speaker 2: for the Heisman, Okay, and I voted for Jaden Daniels.

220
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: But the point is, after I voted for him and

221
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: I moved it in, I'm saying to myself, well, what

222
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: did LSU do? I think you have to be the

223
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: most valuable player that help your team win and do something.

224
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you what. One of my people that

225
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:53,440
Speaker 2: I voted for was my guy, Ollie Gordon from Oklahoma State,

226
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,559
Speaker 2: which I think he finished something like seventh in the

227
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 2: voting because I would think that he carried that Oklahoma

228
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: State team. They didn't do much, but they wouldn't have

229
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: been with ay were if it wasn't for Oli Gordon.

230
00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 2: So I thought he was the most valuable and maybe

231
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: the best player at his position in college football. I

232
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: still don't know Bucky Brooks. I don't know what the

233
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: definition of the Heisman is, but I know if you're

234
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,320
Speaker 2: a quarterback, you have a leg up and everybody else

235
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,439
Speaker 2: because most of the quarterbacks always win the Heisman.

236
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you're right. It is a very difficult

237
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: award to determine who is the winner.

238
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:27,040
Speaker 4: But here's what I will say.

239
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 3: Of all the participants that were the finalists, right, Michael Pennix,

240
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 3: you talk about both knicks and others, Jayden Daniels.

241
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: Had the most dominant performance.

242
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix was great, and he was great for a

243
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: great team that is in the college football playoff. But

244
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 3: I can't say that when I watched him, I felt

245
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 3: like I was watching the guy completely dominate the game

246
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 3: from beginning to end. I can say when I looked

247
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 3: at Jalen Daniels over the course of the season, more

248
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 3: times than not, he was the best guy in the field.

249
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: What he was able to do as a thrower, and

250
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: it was Marvin Harrison me, Yeah, to me set it up.

251
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 3: I think the thing about Marvin Harrison, I think for

252
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: wide receiver to do it, the numbers have to be

253
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 3: absolutely ridiculous in terms of like eye popping, so we

254
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 3: just haven't seen it. You know, we saw DeVonta Smith,

255
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 3: but remember DeVonta Smith led his team to a national title.

256
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 3: His numbers were through the roof while doing that. Marvin

257
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 3: Harrison might be the best prospect of all the guys

258
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: that were there, but I can't say that he was

259
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 3: the best quote unquote player on the college football field,

260
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 3: just based on impact. And some of that was due

261
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: to Calvial Court, which is maybe why Calviccord is in

262
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 3: the portal. But to me, it's an award that's probably outdated.

263
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 3: It's an award that probably had its peak its prime

264
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 3: in the sixties, seventies and eighties, when you know, like

265
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 3: the voters could see it, fans we really couldn't see

266
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 3: all the games, so we're really relying on the newspaper

267
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 3: accounts and those things. To me, I think it's so

268
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: hard to determine whether it's the best player or the

269
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,640
Speaker 3: most important player on the best team. And I think

270
00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: it's the same for the MVP Award when it comes

271
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 3: to National Football League.

272
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 2: I think he said a tremendous day, I really do.

273
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 2: I think the Heisman Trophy really has seen better days.

274
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 2: I agree, and now they have all these other awards

275
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 2: that are basically more zoomed into the position, like the Bronco,

276
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 2: the Girskyin Award, or whatever it is. There's about six

277
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 2: or seven other awards for various position players and the

278
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: outstanding player at that position, which I think is more

279
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 2: representative than the Heisman Trophy. But there's still in all.

280
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: As you say, I don't think this is a true

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: definition of what the Heisman Trophy stands for. Who should

282
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,000
Speaker 2: get it? Is the most valuable? Is the best player?

283
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean JJ McCarthy, who was pretty

284
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: damn valuable to an undefeated Michigan team. Was he the

285
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 2: best player in the country? No, but for Michigan he

286
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 2: was very valuable. So I still don't understand what it meant.

287
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 2: And I still say that Oli Gordon was tremendously valuable.

288
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 2: He's only a sophomore. I think he won the best

289
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: I forgot the awards name, but I think with the

290
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 2: dope whatever it was, I think he woned. I think

291
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 2: he won that for running back. It's only a sophomore,

292
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 2: so I think he is. His day will come, perhaps

293
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 2: for a Heisman, but I guess unless your team wins

294
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: and your status are out of sight. You're not going

295
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 2: to get it unless you're a quarterback.

296
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's one of those things like you have

297
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 3: to be a quarterback. It's just the way that we

298
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 3: view it. We have in I guess, a warped sense

299
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: of the quarterback's importance. I think on the outside looking in,

300
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 3: I think we feel like the quarterback is kind of

301
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: like John Wayne, where everyone kind of follows his lead.

302
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 3: And in some instances is that. But in other cases

303
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: there are other leaders of the team that kind of

304
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 3: spark whether the team plays and how the team plays,

305
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 3: and whether the team wins or not. It's funny. We're

306
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:46,880
Speaker 3: just in a unique set of circumstances when it comes

307
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: to evaluating who's who and what's what.

308
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 4: As we give out these individual honors.

309
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 2: And I'll say this, don't let your sons grow up

310
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: to be quarterbacks. Let them grow up to be baseball pitches.

311
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: Like Shohayatani ten years, seven hundred million. I'm scratching my head.

312
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 2: How much of the ownership pay for the Angels when

313
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: he went to the Angels, I mean, how much was it?

314
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,760
Speaker 2: I guess if he's getting seven hundred million, how many billions?

315
00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,840
Speaker 2: Now is the Dodger's worth. It's amazing to me. Look,

316
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm not upset at anybody making as much money as

317
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: I can, but I think that this doesn't do any

318
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 2: good for the general public at large because a ticket

319
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,520
Speaker 2: price is obviously going to go up. Eventually, he's going

320
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 2: to be on pay TV. And third, I mean to me,

321
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: I don't know anybody on God's Green Earth is worth

322
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: that kind of money to do any function the sports

323
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 2: or non seven hundred million for ten years. It blows

324
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 2: me away. It really does.

325
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it does. But you know, in looking at the

326
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 3: details of the deal, you can see where the Dodgers

327
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 3: saw that they made sense.

328
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 4: Just think about it.

329
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: Shanaya Tani is a star, and the stars need to

330
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: play in major markets. Even though Anaheim is there, Anaheim

331
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 3: is still not necessarily la. Now you have him playing

332
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 3: for the Dodgers, you can talk about the tickets. You

333
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 3: can talk about the nationally exposure that the Dodge is

334
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: going to be on primetime all the time because of Shane.

335
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 3: You can talk about the community connection that he will

336
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:11,800
Speaker 3: have in terms of tying in different cultures into like

337
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 3: when we now go to the Dodgers game, just the

338
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: diversity that we will see in the stands. All of those.

339
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 4: Things made him bigger than just a baseball player.

340
00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: He's a megastar, and seven hundred million dollars blew the

341
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 3: market away. A lot of this money, though, is just

342
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: like biby Bnilia, It is deferred, and so the Dodgers

343
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 3: were smart enough to defer some of the money because

344
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 3: we have seen how these franchises are just appreciating, and

345
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,640
Speaker 3: so we're seeing one hundred million dollar franchises sold off

346
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: later for billions, and so it's only going up.

347
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 4: It's never coming down the way that they are paying

348
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 4: him out.

349
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 3: It'll be a drop in the bucket by the time

350
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 3: that he really receives that money. To me, as a

351
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 3: Dodger fan, I'm really excited about it because I mean, like, look,

352
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,160
Speaker 3: he's box office.

353
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: He must see baseball.

354
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 3: You want to see him even if he can't pitch

355
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 3: for a year, to see him do all the different

356
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:07,200
Speaker 3: things that he does.

357
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 4: Look, it's a wonderful sight.

358
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people be mad that he

359
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:13,120
Speaker 3: didn't go to a smaller market, but man, I can't

360
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 3: imagine him playing on a smaller stage when he could

361
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 3: play in Dodger Stadium and kind of get it done

362
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 3: every day.

363
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 2: I'm with you right there, unless but at least just

364
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: talk about this Army Navy game. I mean, they have

365
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: their own stage all the time. After the regular season.

366
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 2: Basically he's finished. Seventeen to eleven. Yesterday, Army wins. You

367
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 2: know what, At times you say to yourself, what's the

368
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 2: big deal? It is a big deal when you watch

369
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 2: it on TV. It's a tremendous deal. Yesterday was in Foxboro.

370
00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's in Annapolis, sometimes it's in Philadelphia. You know,

371
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: I love the game. Not a lot of meaning to it,

372
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:45,800
Speaker 2: but there's a lot of pride surrounding it.

373
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I love the game. And I'll say four disclosure.

374
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 3: Two springs ago, those who've listened noted I'm a high

375
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,439
Speaker 3: school coach. But two springs ago, I was coming off

376
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 3: with a disappointing season as a high school coach. I

377
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 3: had a friend connect me with Jeff Munkin at West Point.

378
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 3: So I go to Army for a football clinic and

379
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: just to watch them do what they did for a weekend.

380
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 4: I was blown away by the atmosphere.

381
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: I was blown away by the way the academy not

382
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 3: only coaches as players, but the leadership stuff or whatever,

383
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,119
Speaker 3: and so from that point I became like a hardcore

384
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 3: Army fan. So to watch that game like I did

385
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 3: from beginning to end, I was riveted. Years ago, I

386
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 3: would say that I couldn't understand it, but after spending

387
00:18:29,920 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 3: time on that campus, being around those guys, being around

388
00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,879
Speaker 3: the coaching staff, understanding more about why this game is

389
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 3: everything to them, Man, I loved it. I love watching it.

390
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 3: And I know people say seventeen eleven didn't have a

391
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:45,640
Speaker 3: lot of action, they couldn't really throw this and that,

392
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 3: but you could just see the intensity. You could see

393
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 3: the adoration and respect that they had for each other,

394
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 3: and the pride that they had in the programs. Them

395
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 3: singing the alma maters at the end of each games,

396
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 3: to me everything I loved it.

397
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 4: As unfortunate that neither one of those teams are going to.

398
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 3: A Bowl game, but when they talk about winning the

399
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: Commander in Chiefs Cup and coming away with all those

400
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 3: things because you have Army, Navy, Air Force and they

401
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 3: vied for that championship, it was great.

402
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 4: So that experience is great.

403
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 3: Seeing Bill Belichick talk about it on the pregame shows

404
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 3: and a halftime and that other stuff. I mean this

405
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 3: game means a lot to a lot of people. It

406
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 3: was great to have an opportunity to just kind of

407
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 3: look at it from the outside end.

408

Speaker 3: Yeah?

449
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 4: No, it's crazy.

450
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 3: It is crazy that it's so fast, but this is

451
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 3: the best time when we get into December football.

452
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 4: When the games matter. The league has done a great job.

453
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 3: Of creating opportunities for everyone to kind of still be

454
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 3: in the playoff hunt.

455
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 4: This is what you live for.

456
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 3: You live to see how people perform underpressure, and that's

457
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 3: what we got.

458
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: The only bad thing is I wish I'd see the

459
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,440
Speaker 2: frontline quarterbacks playing, not the backups of the third stringers.

460
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 2: You know, just just the nature of the beast with

461
00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 2: the injury factor. And it's not good, it really is.

462
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 2: And I mean the AFC North, the only quarterbacks still

463
00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 2: standing is on the Baltimore ravens Lamar Jackson. Everybody else

464
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 2: is a backup too or three. It's crazy, isn't it.

465
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 4: It is crazy, and it's unfortunately.

466
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 3: I know the league is trying to do everything in

467
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 3: his power to ensure that the quarterbacks are available. It's

468
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,240
Speaker 3: just in the nature of the business. Is a physical game.

469
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,159
Speaker 3: It's a sport where if you put your quarterback out there,

470
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,119
Speaker 3: if your quarterback look whether he leaves the pocket or

471
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 3: stays in the pocket, if he gets hit and he

472
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 3: gets his enough times, he's going to get hurt. You

473
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 3: got to protect him. You got to find a way

474
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 3: to protect him. You can't put him in bubble wrap.

475
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 3: But it's just the nature of the game. I think

476
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,800
Speaker 3: the bigger thing would be, do teams need to look

477
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 3: at the way that they're developing or preparing the backup

478
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 3: quarterbacks differently? You talked about all these teams playing backup quarterbacks.

479
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,840
Speaker 3: A lot of times when you look at people's rosters,

480
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,199
Speaker 3: that second quarterback is someone you're like, who is that?

481
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 3: Or it's a washed up journeyman who maybe couldn't play

482
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: when he's there. What can the league do to better

483
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 3: develop the backup quarterbacks? That's the key, because the teams

484
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 3: that have backup quarterbacks are the ones that are able

485
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 3: to survive those injuries at the most position in the game.

486
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 2: Well, we're talking about the Buccaneers and the Falcons today,

487
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 2: and you know, honestly, they're looking maybe for a frontline

488
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,520
Speaker 2: quarterback more so than a backup quarterback. But you know,

489
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Bucks their wide receiver Mike Evans, first

490
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,120
Speaker 2: player in NFL history to start a career with ten

491
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:21,720
Speaker 2: consecutive one thousand yard receiving seasons. I would say Canton,

492
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 2: Ohio awaits Mike Evans. He's a Hall of Famer in

493
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 2: my mind? What do you think about Mike Evans hall

494
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 2: of Fame?

495
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,679
Speaker 3: Yeah? No, I think the debate is going to be,

496
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 3: not only is the Hall of Fame? Is he first

497
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 3: ballot Hall of Fame? Because when you look at his

498
00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 3: numbers and they stack up with Randy Moss and Jerry Rice,

499
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 3: he's deserving of being that when you think about the

500
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: number of quarterbacks that he's played with, Jamis Winston, Ryan Fitzpatrick,

501
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: Josh McCown.

502
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,160
Speaker 4: He's at thousand yard seasons with all of those guys.

503
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: People talk about Brady, but now he's doing it with

504
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield.

505
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 4: He has done a lot.

506
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 3: And the way that I evaluate Hall of Fame candidates

507
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: and those guys, are you dominant in spite of your

508
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: circumstances or did you have to have the perfect things

509
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 3: around you? He has been dominant in spite of his circumstances,

510
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,640
Speaker 3: no matter who's been around him, no matter what he's

511
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: had in terms of support, whether they had a running

512
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 3: game or didn't have a running game, whether he had

513
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 3: a number two receiver or didn't have a number two receiver,

514
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 3: he has been dominant by any metric he's deserving of

515
00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: being a Hall of Famer. And I think when you

516
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 3: look at the history, ten straight one thousand yard seasons,

517
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 3: he has ninety one touchdowns. I mean, you talking about

518
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 3: someone who is fast tracked to being a gold Jackie guy.

519
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 4: He should be a first ball of Hall of Famer.

520
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 2: And last week he had seven catches one hundred and

521
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 2: sixty two yards and the Bucks beat up on the Panthers.

522
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 2: Everybody else does as well twenty one to eighteen. But

523
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:44,639
Speaker 2: the Falcons they're foreign two at home? Does that mean anything?

524
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,040
Speaker 2: Why he these stats every week? What their home record is.

525
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 2: I don't think that means as much as it used to.

526
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:51,640
Speaker 2: Home field advantage in the NFL.

527
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean it can is. Typically I would say home

528
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,080
Speaker 3: field coincide with your team being good.

529
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 4: The better the team, the more like.

530
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,639
Speaker 3: The human and most of your home games it's different

531
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 3: than college in terms of the environment. And you know,

532
00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,479
Speaker 3: there's some places that are certainly hard to play, more

533
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 3: difficult to play because of the noise and the acoustics

534
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:15,919
Speaker 3: of the stadium, but it's still not like going to

535
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 3: a college arena and having to deal with all the

536
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: stuff that you have to deal with there. Normally, Man,

537
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 3: if my team is better than your team, I'm gonna

538
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:24,120
Speaker 3: have a better record at home.

539
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,479
Speaker 4: So there's nothing really to it.

540
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 3: Maybe you're a little more comfortable at home, But in

541
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 3: terms of like the on field advantage, I've never really

542
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 3: seen it or experienced that it's a significant advantage in

543
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 3: your favor.

544
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's go to the Colts Bengals and

545
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 2: last week the Bengals overtime win. I'm not gonna dwell

546
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 2: on this. Maybe lay later, not now. Okay, thirty four

547
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 2: to thirty one overtime. What's an exciting game, now, that's

548
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 2: for sure. And Jacksonville loses to the Bengals. Steel Is

549
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: twenty one to eighteen lost to the Patriots. So the

550
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: Bengals right now have a little bit of a light

551
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 2: getting back into the playoffs. I mean, it looks like

552
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: a playoff life. The doors opened ever so slightly with

553
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 2: the Steelers lost to the Pages.

554
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:07,240
Speaker 1: I was shocked.

555
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: Colts have won four in a row, two of those

556
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 2: wins with less than two hundred passing yards from guess

557
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: who Gardner Minshew at quarterback. So I guess the key

558
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 2: to the Colts is that run game. Zach Moss Colts

559
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 2: defense has twelve at deceptions. The question is with the Bengals,

560
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: can Jake Browning perform again this week as he did

561
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: last week?

562
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 3: Well, he can, and he can if defenses kind of

563
00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: sit off and let him get into a rhythm and

564
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 3: they're unable to defend the Bengals running game. The key

565
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 3: to their success on Monday Night was their ability to

566
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 3: run the football on early downs. The weapons that he

567
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,399
Speaker 3: has around him, those guys don't change, and so Jamar

568
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 3: Chase and t Higgins and Tyler Board they are as

569
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 3: dangerous as they are hard win Joe Burrows there, you

570
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,879
Speaker 3: still have to find ways to defend them. Now, what

571
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 3: has happened though? They won a game with Jake Brown

572
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 3: and playing really well, So the confidence within the team

573
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 3: is at a sky high level. They now believe that

574
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 3: they have a chance, and they believe that they have

575
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 3: a chance to not only win, but they can probably

576
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: envision themselves finding a way into the postseason. So yeah,

577
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 3: you'll get a very different Cincinnati Bengals team, a Bengals

578
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,400
Speaker 3: team that has more confidence, more belief in Zach Taylor

579
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 3: will call the game even more aggressively than that. Jake

580
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 3: Brown has shown that he could play at a high

581
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 3: level at times.

582
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 2: Well, the Bengals gave up and their defense give one

583
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards two weeks ago a week twelve

584
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 2: against the Steelers. They were somewhat better last week, but

585
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 2: I think this run game of the Colts can hurt them.

586
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:40,639
Speaker 2: I still have my doubts. You still don't know what

587
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 2: you're going to get with this Bengals team with that

588
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 2: backup quarterback Browning. I just I don't know. You know,

589
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,359
Speaker 2: as you say, they got some momentum, they got some confidence,

590
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 2: you know, if you would ask me, I think the

591
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 2: Colts get him in this game. I really do.

592
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

593
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 4: No, this is an interesting one.

594
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 3: The Coats a really solid team and they're playing above

595
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 3: expectation when it came to Garnmentshew, Garnamenthew is somehow find

596
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: a way to get this team to the Winter Circle.

597
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,560
Speaker 3: He's done it without being I would say like the

598
00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: driving force of the offense. They being able to run

599
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 3: the football, they have been able to lean on the

600
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: defense that's taking the ball away. And let's be honest,

601
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 3: they just have been a gutty team. They have found

602
00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,200
Speaker 3: a way to overcome various circumstances to get to the

603
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:27,119
Speaker 3: Winter circle. That's it. Garnmentshew is is always dangerous in

604
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 3: a one game scenario and a one game situation where man,

605
00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 3: he is as streaky as it come. He can get hot,

606
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 3: and if he gets hot, I mean the ball is look,

607
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 3: he's going ahead the strike zone. That also gives them

608
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 3: a bit of an X factor. This is a really

609
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,040
Speaker 3: good Coats team. They have kind of rounded in the

610
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:46,800
Speaker 3: form as a contender, and it's gonna be a very,

611
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 3: very difficult game for the Cincinnati Bengals, even though Jake

612
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 3: Browning gives them a lot of confidence.

613
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 2: There you go, he's Bucket Brooks. I'm Andy Fermanwell Fox

614

Speaker 2: Football Sunday on Fox Butt's Radio. Hey don't you think

615
00:28:59,640 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 2: that Yets could have used this guy? That's coming up

616
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: next on Fox Live from the Tirack dot Com studios.

617
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 2: But first, here's our guy, Kevin Wired with Oya Sports.

618
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 2: Sorry we're little Lake.

619
00:29:10,560 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: Oh, no worries. We got a full slate of NFL

620
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: Action today and an update from Ian Rappaport overnight. He

621
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: has a few tweets that he posted and regarding the Seahawks,

622
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: quarterback Gino Smith is going to be a true game

623
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 1: time decision. He's questionable with a growing injury. Drew Locke

624
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 1: is prepared to start. He did take most of the

625
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: reps late in the week at practice, but if Gino

626
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,040
Speaker 1: can possibly get out there, he will play, but his

627
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: status is truly up in the air. According to Rappaport,

628
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 1: running backs Kenneth Walker Zach Sharbonay, they're both listened as questionable,

629
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:47,680
Speaker 1: but they were full participants in practice on Friday, so

630
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:50,600
Speaker 1: that's a sign that they should both play on Sunday.

631
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: As for the Saints, Derek Carr is gonna play, however,

632
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 1: the Swiss Army knife tight end slash quarterback, however you

633
00:29:57,440 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: want to look at him. Taysom Hill, He's not gonna

634
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: be able to play today, dealing with his foot and

635
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 1: left hand injuries. Chris Olava he's been dealing with an illness.

636
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: He will be on the field. Defensive end. Cameron Jordan

637
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: he should play today. He has an ankle issue. Max

638
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: Crosby he's questionable with a knee injury, and he said

639
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: that quote, if I've got a heartbeat, He's gonna be

640
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: on the field, so expect him to at least try

641
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:28,040
Speaker 1: to suit up. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence he's got his

642
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: high ankle sprain feeling better than expected. He's still a

643
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: game time decision. He'll be evaluated by the medical staff

644
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 1: at He is pushing to go, and the belief is

645
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: that Lawrence wants to make it happen. As for the

646
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,719
Speaker 1: big news in sports on Saturday, Shoe Aotani, he's finally

647
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,720
Speaker 1: made his decision. He's gonna go to the Los Angeles

648
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:54,720
Speaker 1: Dodgers for a ten year, seven hundred million dollar contract

649
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: that's the largest in North American sports history. But a

650
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: lot of that is deferrest. The going to have some

651
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:04,280
Speaker 1: flexibility and possibly be able to add some pieces around

652
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,360
Speaker 1: him to Dodgers do open the season with a couple of

653
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: games in South Korea, so Showo Tany going to be

654
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 1: on the international stage right away. The Lakers the winners

655
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 1: of the NBA's inaugural in season tournament. They meet the

656
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:18,000
Speaker 1: Pacers in the final, one twenty three to one oh nine.

657
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: Lebron James, the tournament MVP and the Heisman Trophy winner.

658
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: LSU's Jayden Daniels as the quarterback, had forty touchdown passes

659
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,840
Speaker 1: to just four interceptions, also rushed for more than eleven

660
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: hundred yards and had ten scores on the ground. Back

661
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 1: to you guys, all.

662
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: Right, thanks kevyseen An. How Aaron Rodgers will be getting

663
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,120
Speaker 2: a very long rest. We'll explain that in just about

664
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 2: a minute. He's Bucket Brooks. I'm Andy Furman, and we

665

Speaker 2: have Fox Football Sunday on Fox bots Readio. By the way,

Speaker 2: football fans be sure to tune into Fox buts ready

667

Speaker 2: every Sunday morning beginning of ten am Eastern seven am

668
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 2: Pacific for countdown to Kickoff presented by Bett MGM. Brian

669
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 2: not Jeff Schwatz, a professional better Bill Krakenberger will have

670
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 2: you covered three hours before kickoff every Sunday morning. Listen

671
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 2: to count out the kickoff presiented by Better MGM right

672
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: a here on Fox Sports Radio and of course the

673
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app well out, asked Bucky in about seven eight

674
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 2: minutes from now. But we have the Jags against the

675
00:32:09,840 --> 00:32:12,920
Speaker 2: Browns today, and the Browns I gotta believe Buck at

676
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:18,360
Speaker 2: seven and five somewhat of a disappointment, agree.

677
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:19,840
Speaker 3: I mean, I'll say maybe a little bit of a disappointment.

678
00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 3: But remember they played the bulk of the season when

679
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: their starting quarterback. You removed the starting quarterback for most teams,

680
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 3: they absolutely fall apart. The fact that they're seventy five

681
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: and in the playoff hunt is a testament to the

682
00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 3: job that Jim Schwartz has done with this defense. This

683
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 3: defense is a dominant defense. They dominated at the point

684
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:40,000
Speaker 3: of attack. They have arguably the best defensive player in football,

685
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 3: and Miles Garrett kind of running around picking and choosing

686
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: which guy he wants to rush against, and it has

687
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:50,120
Speaker 3: been creating chaos for everybody. Jim Schwartz has locked up

688
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 3: those guys on the perim and they play Manda Man

689
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 3: maybe more than anybody in the league. And so this

690
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 3: Cleveland team sending a six and five, they are a

691
00:32:57,240 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 3: very dangerous team. And I know that they certainly have

692
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 3: the attend to the Jaguars because this is a big

693
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 3: game for them as well.

694
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and last week the Browns loss to the Rams

695
00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 2: thirty six nineteen. But Joe Flacco the Super Bowl forty

696
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 2: seven MVP. He passed with two hundred and fifty four

697
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 2: and twelve two touchdowns, And my question was, after seeing

698
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 2: those stats, don't you think they just could have used

699
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,200
Speaker 2: this guy for a backup? I mean, really, they unloaded Flacco.

700
00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 2: I guess they look, no one knew what was gonna

701
00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 2: haved Aaron Rodgers for sure, but to have Joe flaccoll back,

702
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 2: they would have been a pretty good backup. And I

703
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 2: think that would have been a lot better off with

704
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco just my thought.

705
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,440
Speaker 3: On at well. I mean probably so. But what happened.

706
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 3: You had a quarterback who didn't have any history with

707
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 3: the team, like the new guys that were coming in.

708
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:44,480
Speaker 3: He didn't have any history in terms of like running

709
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 3: that offense and doing all of that. And because they

710
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,440
Speaker 3: were so gung ho on you know, making a move

711
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:55,800
Speaker 3: againt Aaron Rodgers, they wanted to keep Zach Wilson, and

712
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: so it was just gonna be too prohibitive to be

713
00:33:57,680 --> 00:34:00,880
Speaker 3: able to keep Joe Flacco as a third quarterback. Behund

714
00:34:01,280 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 3: those two, I just can't see. I can't imagine him saying, yes,

715
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 3: this is what I want to do, and I can't

716
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 3: imagine them trying to even balance that in their head, like, hey,

717
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:11,800
Speaker 3: how could we do it with Joe Flacko being i

718
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,560
Speaker 3: QB three.

719
00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:14,880
Speaker 4: They just had to put on them.

720
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:18,040
Speaker 3: It's unfortunately that it didn't work out, but I understand

721
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:18,839
Speaker 3: their rationale.

722
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 2: Big question for you, now you're the man with Jacksonville.

723
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 2: What's the stays with Trevor Lawrence. After watching that game

724
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 2: last week, taking that helmet off, slimming it to the ground,

725
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:28,759
Speaker 2: I thought that this gotta be a in surgery. But

726
00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,400
Speaker 2: now they say he may even play today.

727
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,480
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I think that's a big news for Jacksonville

728
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 3: that he may play, you know, and I think what

729
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 3: we've seen two instances this year, the New Orleans game,

730
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 3: I don't think anybody in the building expected him to

731
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 3: be able to play coming off to the knee injury

732
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,840
Speaker 3: that he suffered against the Colts. Everyone was very doubtful

733
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 3: that he would be able to kind of make the

734
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 3: move and do it for him to overcome maybe an

735
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 3: ankle injury. To me, to me, it not only kind

736
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,439
Speaker 3: of ingratiates him to the locker room because he's tough,

737
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,920
Speaker 3: he's enduring in those things, but he is really solidifying

738
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 3: things when it comes to being a franchise quarterback and

739
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 3: getting paid from ownership. The franchise quarterback is expecting to

740
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 3: show up every day every week, no matter what you

741
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 3: think about the great ones, right the Peyton Mannings to

742
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 3: Tom Brady's to Eli Mannings and those guys Ben Roethlisberger.

743
00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:21,839
Speaker 3: You knew on Sunday at one o'clock they were gonna

744
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 3: try it out and lead their team onto the field.

745
00:35:23,960 --> 00:35:26,920
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence is beginning to exhibit those kinds of qualities.

746
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 3: And when your franchise quarterback has the toughness and the

747
00:35:30,600 --> 00:35:34,320
Speaker 3: persistence and the guts to show up regardless of the circumstances,

748
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 3: that is someone.

749
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,000

00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 2: Jags last week. And uh, I think did I pick

766
00:36:30,680 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 2: the Jags?

767
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 3: I think I did? Did I No, I think you did.

768
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,680
Speaker 3: I think I think I think we tried to go

769
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 3: you into picking your team, but you refused soon.

770
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 2: Right, But I do apologize because I know how much

771
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,360
Speaker 2: it means to you, and you're you're an employee of

772
00:36:46,400 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 2: that team, so it's a big deal. How was it

773
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 2: after the game? What was the mood so to speak

774
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,439
Speaker 2: around the clubhouse after the game during the week after

775
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,840
Speaker 2: that loss, it was crummy.

776
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 3: It wasn't It wasn't a good It wasn't a good game.

777
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 3: Because for the Jaguars, they represented maybe their fourth home loss,

778
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: and it also was the third time that they played

779
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,640
Speaker 3: in a prime time matchup and they hadn't played up

780
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,759
Speaker 3: to what they were called the standard, and so there's

781
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 3: a lot of concern about why, like why aren't they

782
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:21,000
Speaker 3: able to step up in these big moments? Why can't

783
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 3: they take advantage of the situations that are there to

784
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,440
Speaker 3: you know, be on a big stage to showcase their

785
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 3: talents to the world. They hadn't been able to get

786
00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 3: it done. So there was that, and then you know,

787
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 3: it was the big, the big injury. The injury kind

788
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 3: of overshadowed everything. So, yeah, Coach Peterson and those guys

789
00:37:40,600 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 3: wouldn't look at the team. Yeah, and then when you

790
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:45,440
Speaker 3: have Trevor hurt and on the field, it looked like

791
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 3: Trevor's going to be out and at four a long time.

792
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 3: So there was I mean, there were a lot of

793
00:37:50,680 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: emotions that were everywhere. When it came to, you know,

794
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,279
Speaker 3: the post game kind of fall out.

795
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: Well, things could have been worse. It could have been

796
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,440
Speaker 2: the Jets because I want to touch on this Texans

797
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 2: Jets game today. Jets have five straight losses and to me,

798
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,759
Speaker 2: it looks like the Jets are doing everything they can

799
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: to make sure that that quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a

800
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:10,719
Speaker 2: long rest and he doesn't rush back from his achilles

801
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: because they're not going to be in a playoff contention,

802
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: so he'll be wrestling and he won't play. But my

803
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,160
Speaker 2: question to you, Bucky Brooks is for the Jets, why

804
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 2: would they start quarterback Zach Wilson. I guess he's planning

805
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:22,320
Speaker 2: on starting today the number two pick in the twenty

806
00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 2: twenty one draft, and all they got to do is

807
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 2: compare with the CJ. Stroud, the number two pick and

808
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,799
Speaker 2: last year's draft. It's like night and day. It really is,

809
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: why are I still going with Zach Wilson? How many

810
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 2: lives does this guy have?

811
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,359
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I'll say. The bigger thing is not

812
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,040
Speaker 3: why are they going with Zack Wilson, is why are

813
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 3: they playing the yo yo game with Zack Wilson. If

814
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 3: Zack Wilson was a guy that you deemed to be

815
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 3: a viable starter, then you stick with him and let

816
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:48,440
Speaker 3: him go.

817
00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:49,480
Speaker 4: Through the growing paints.

818
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 3: If he's not good enough to play the position, then

819
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:54,279
Speaker 3: you stick with the other players and you live with it.

820
00:38:54,360 --> 00:38:57,040
Speaker 3: But this game that they're doing with Zack Wilson, he's in,

821
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: he's out. We believe in him, we don't believe in himyada, YadA, YadA.

822
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 3: I think they're not only doing a disservice to the player,

823
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,000
Speaker 3: but it really shows a lack of leadership and direction

824
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,399
Speaker 3: to me from the Jets. If anything, this has been

825
00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:15,080
Speaker 3: a huge, I guess, kind of revelation in terms of

826
00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:19,920
Speaker 3: the lack of direction that this team has under Robert Sala.

827
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:21,920
Speaker 3: You know, we can talk about their defense, and I

828
00:39:21,960 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 3: don't think their defense is as good as it's been

829
00:39:23,960 --> 00:39:27,359
Speaker 3: hyped to be. But look, just because the quarterback goes

830
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:30,000
Speaker 3: out the seasons continues to play, you don't get a

831
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 3: mulligan because you're starting quarterback, isn't there. Look at the

832
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,400
Speaker 3: teams that we're talking about, the Colts. Look at the

833
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:37,839
Speaker 3: Colts this dealing thing. Look at I mean, I mean

834
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:40,120
Speaker 3: the Bengals that are trying to work their way back

835
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: into it. The Steelers are playing without their quarterback, but

836
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 3: they're there. The Jets don't have an excuse. I just

837
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 3: worry about this franchise. I worry about how they go forward.

838
00:39:48,239 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: I worry about how they perform and are they a

839
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:52,080
Speaker 3: team that will ever get out of their own way.

840
00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 2: I think Travis Simeon is going to start today for

841
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:56,040
Speaker 2: the Jets. I don't think that Zach WILSONI will see

842
00:39:56,040 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 2: what happens at game time. But you know, well, the

843
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,719
Speaker 2: Texans tell you they only have to score a few

844
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 2: points because the Jets have had something like two touchdowns

845
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 2: and about fifty possessions. So if they just score a couple,

846
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:08,879
Speaker 2: that's it. Because last week, the Jets only scored eight

847
00:40:08,920 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 2: points that lost to Atlanta thirteen to eight. So, as

848
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,319
Speaker 2: you say, the defense isn't as good. And by the way,

849
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 2: cornerback Derek Stingley Junior, he was drafted ahead of Jets

850
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 2: Sauce Cardon in twenty twenty two. And this guy's got

851
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: four interceptions in the last four games.

852
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:22,799
Speaker 1: How do you like that?

853
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they made a big deal about the source

854
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,719
Speaker 2: here for sure. Amazing it really is. I tell you what,

855
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,680
Speaker 2: the Jets are in a bad way, and that's not good.

856
00:40:31,880 --> 00:40:33,759
Speaker 2: All right, I think we may have time for one more.

857
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 2: If not, we'll roll along because I want to all

858
00:40:36,719 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 2: we don't. I guess we don't because the clock is

859
00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 2: telling us not. So the answer to a very pressing question.

860
00:40:42,400 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 2: That and more next on Fox Football Sunday. Yeah, I

Speaker 4: I'm great? Hour number two. That first hour is super fast.

873
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 2: I know you're great. I tell you what. I had

874
00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 2: a question I wanted to ask you, and they asked,

875
00:41:23,160 --> 00:41:25,120
Speaker 2: Bucky segment. I want to roll it over here if

876
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,560
Speaker 2: I can know about the Green Bay Packers had a

877
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 2: four game losing streak. At one point in time, they

878
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 2: were two and five. Now they're six and six. What

879
00:41:33,600 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 2: did they do to turn it around in Green Bay?

880
00:41:38,200 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 3: A few different things. The quarterback matured young quarterback. Even

881
00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 3: though he's in his fourth season, he was just his

882
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,239
Speaker 3: first season as four time starter, so it took a

883
00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,719
Speaker 3: while for him to settle in as the QB one.

884
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 3: It also took a while for the coaching staff to

885
00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 3: understand what they had in him. They surrounded with a

886
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:55,239
Speaker 3: bunch of young wide receivers, so it took him a

887
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 3: while to develop the chemistry and the connectivity that you

888
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,319
Speaker 3: need to have to flourish on theme and then defensively,

889
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:04,640
Speaker 3: they had to just settle in. This is a team

890
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 3: that has been talented on defense for a while, but

891
00:42:07,560 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 3: they just hadn't played to the talent. This year, everything

892
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:13,480
Speaker 3: gets kind of come together at the right time. The

893
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: offense is playing well because you got a bunch of

894
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:18,440
Speaker 3: newbies growing up with a young quarterback that are beginning

895
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:21,719
Speaker 3: to believe in Defensively, they just overwhelmed you.

896
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:23,719
Speaker 4: They got a bunch of first rounders all over the place.

897
00:42:24,080 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 3: It's just a matter of Joe Berry kind of unleashing

898
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 3: these guys, letting them go, letting them play and make plays.

899
00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 3: And as they're making more plays, he's given them more freedom.

900
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,759
Speaker 3: So it's coming together right now at the perfect time

901
00:42:36,760 --> 00:42:37,400
Speaker 3: for the Packers.

902
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 2: Okay, last, but not least as far as the Yes

903
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: Fucky segment. We're rolling all over here a little bit.

904
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 2: The bucket choice for MVP. Here are the choices that

905
00:42:44,200 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 2: I have And if you have someone else as fine

906
00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, and I'm throwing brock Party in

907
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:50,959
Speaker 2: the mix too.

908
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:54,560
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna go off to bingo board. Let's go

909
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,520
Speaker 3: with Tyreek Hill. Tyreek Hill is the MVP because when

910
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 3: you think about what Tyreek Hill is doing one. He

911
00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:05,760
Speaker 3: is on pace to shatter the single single receiver mark

912
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:08,799
Speaker 3: set by Calvin Johnson. He's on pace to have a

913
00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:12,279
Speaker 3: two thousand yard receiver two thousand yard season when you

914
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:16,400
Speaker 3: look at what he is doing to elevate those around him. Okay,

915
00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 3: Jalen wall is the only receiver with more than five

916
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 3: hundred yards on this ross.

917
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 4: He has seven hundred yards.

918
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 3: Nobody else, So everyone each week knows that Tyreek Hill

919
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 3: is the most dangerous, explosive, most dangerous and explosive player

920
00:43:29,800 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: in the league. But yet he still has put up

921
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:35,720
Speaker 3: big numbers. Eight one hundred yard games and twelve appearances.

922
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 3: He has ten games with at least one touchdown. He's

923
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,040
Speaker 3: elevated to a tongue of our Lord, to a tongue

924
00:43:41,040 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 3: of by lower ranked second I think in completion percentage,

925
00:43:43,440 --> 00:43:47,160
Speaker 3: third and passer rating. And this offense is just zero

926
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 3: point three points per game behind the Dallas Cowboys. A

927
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:53,200
Speaker 3: lot of that because people won't talk about too A

928
00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 3: lot of that is due to Tyreek Hill, his presence

929
00:43:56,280 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 3: and how his presence changes the way opponents defend Miami Dolphins.

930
00:44:00,800 --> 00:44:02,040
Speaker 4: That's why he's deserving of MVP.

931
00:44:02,400 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna write that down. We'll see what

932
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 2: happens at the end of the season. Now we talk

933
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 2: about Bucky Brooks, also Bucket Brooks, the player, Bucky Brooks

934
00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:11,560
Speaker 2: the coach, the scout, whatever it may be. But now

935
00:44:11,560 --> 00:44:13,840
Speaker 2: we talk about Bucky Brooks the writer. He writes for

936
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 2: NFL dot Com every week, and you be foolish not

937
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 2: to go there. Every Friday, his column pops up NFL

938
00:44:19,160 --> 00:44:21,880
Speaker 2: dot com Search and NFL Writers and you'll see his

939
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 2: beautiful mug over there and the stories he writes. Now

940
00:44:24,719 --> 00:44:27,280
Speaker 2: we see coaches on the sidelines of the NFL games

941
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 2: covering their mouths with their play sheet, and the announcers

942
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:33,239
Speaker 2: always tell us about the first fifteen plays. He wrote

943
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:35,800
Speaker 2: about it this week. What are the first fifteen plays?

944
00:44:35,800 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 2: And why are they so important?

945
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:41,759
Speaker 3: Okay, so you hear people talk about the script and

946
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: why scripting plays is so important for play callers in

947
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 3: those days, and.

948
00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,800
Speaker 4: It's important for a few different reasons.

949
00:44:49,320 --> 00:44:51,480
Speaker 3: During my time a Green Bay, Mike Hongrean was the

950
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: head coach with Mike Congren was previously the offense coordinator

951
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:57,920
Speaker 3: for Bill Washton San Francisco forty nine ers, who basically

952
00:44:58,600 --> 00:45:01,680
Speaker 3: popularized the theory of scripting your plays, and what coach

953
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 3: Homemen always kind of taught us is early in the game,

954
00:45:04,560 --> 00:45:06,960
Speaker 3: when the players are the most nervous, you want to

955
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 3: have a set of plays that they know, they've rehearsed,

956
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:12,560
Speaker 3: they're ready to go, and so ads the anxiety wanes,

957
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 3: then you can kind of get into your regular call

958
00:45:14,880 --> 00:45:17,280
Speaker 3: sheet and kind of play it by ear. But early

959
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:18,919
Speaker 3: in the game you want them to know, hey, here's

960
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:20,480
Speaker 3: how we're going to attack the game, here's how we're

961
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:22,759
Speaker 3: going to approach it. Study these plays to get off

962
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 3: to a good start, and we'll go. The other thing

963
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 3: that coaches want when they script and plays, they're trying

964
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,799
Speaker 3: to see how the defense reacts to certain things. So

965
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 3: when a play caller comes into the game, what you're

966
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 3: doing is normally ahead of the game and you study

967
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,480
Speaker 3: the last four games from the opponent, the previous four

968
00:45:41,520 --> 00:45:43,919
Speaker 3: games before you play. You want to study those last

969
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,879
Speaker 3: four games, and then you make up all of your breakdown,

970
00:45:47,120 --> 00:45:51,440
Speaker 3: meaning your film study, your statistical analysis, all that stuff

971
00:45:51,440 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 3: will be off that four game segment. Well, early in

972
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:56,319
Speaker 3: the game, when you're the play caller, you're trying to

973
00:45:56,320 --> 00:46:00,040
Speaker 3: see if they're seeing true to what we saw on

974
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 3: tape or are they doing something differently? So you put

975
00:46:03,040 --> 00:46:05,680
Speaker 3: out some plays, some formations, some of those things that

976
00:46:05,760 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: are easy tails for you as the play caller to

977
00:46:08,120 --> 00:46:11,080
Speaker 3: identify if they're doing something that's on the script or

978
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:13,319
Speaker 3: off the script. If they're on the script, then there

979
00:46:13,360 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 3: are complimentary plays that you have ready to spring out

980
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 3: to take advantage of the look that they are expected

981
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,920
Speaker 3: to give you. If they aren't, now you have to

982
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:26,680
Speaker 3: go to a different path on your call sheet because

983
00:46:26,680 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 3: they're doing something that we haven't seen.

984
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,319
Speaker 4: So it may take us a while.

985
00:46:29,320 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 3: And now I got to kind of spin the wheel

986
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 3: a little bit until I can find that right combination

987
00:46:33,560 --> 00:46:35,320
Speaker 3: to be able to take advantage of the defense.

988
00:46:35,600 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 2: Now, what kind of feedback with the quarterback having the

989
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:41,439
Speaker 2: scripting of the first fifteen plays, Because the coaches may say, look,

990
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 2: we're looking at the film and obviously there's a hole

991
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 2: in the defense. We'd like to maybe have the guys

992
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 2: come out of the backfield for a little bit of

993
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,960
Speaker 2: a pass and run whatever it may be, And the

994
00:46:51,040 --> 00:46:53,200
Speaker 2: quarterback says, well, I'm not I don't feel that good

995
00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:56,239
Speaker 2: rolling out. Is there feedback from the quarterback even if

996
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:58,600
Speaker 2: the play seems to be working and it should work.

997
00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:01,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't feel comfortable. So the feedback that the quarterback

998
00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 2: may have on that scripting of the plays.

999
00:47:05,719 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 3: The quarterback should have a lot of feedback and what

1000
00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 3: you learn in the pros. But I think this even

1001
00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:15,440
Speaker 3: works in college also down in high school. It's not

1002
00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:19,440
Speaker 3: a dictatorship. It's a partnership. It's a cooperation. It is

1003
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 3: a situation where as the play caller, I may have

1004
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 3: these grand designs on how the offense will look, but

1005
00:47:24,640 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 3: if the quarterback can't envision the same things that I'm envisioning,

1006
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 3: it's not going to work. So if there's a play

1007
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 3: that you love and you're like, oh, may we gonna

1008
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 3: do this, it's gonna be a home run. But the

1009
00:47:34,360 --> 00:47:37,359
Speaker 3: quarterback is like, Coach, I can't I just can't get it, man,

1010
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 3: I can't see it the way that you wanted me

1011
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:42,360
Speaker 3: to see it. You have to throw it out because

1012
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:44,720
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it is a player's game,

1013
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 3: and the players are the ones that are on the field.

1014
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:51,600
Speaker 3: You have to imply empower the players so that they

1015
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,439
Speaker 3: can play fast and free and float to the ball

1016
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 3: and do all those other things. And so if they're

1017
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 3: confused or if they don't like the play call that

1018
00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 3: is coming in because they just don't have it.

1019
00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 4: You got to take it out.

1020
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 3: You Only the best coaches allow their best players to

1021
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: do things that they do best. They don't ask them

1022
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,920
Speaker 3: to do things that they don't do well. And so

1023
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,120
Speaker 3: the only way you can do that is you got

1024
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 3: to have that steady dialogue between yourself and the players

1025
00:48:17,640 --> 00:48:18,160
Speaker 3: that you coach.

1026
00:48:18,520 --> 00:48:19,960
Speaker 2: And we hear in now to say all the time

1027
00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 2: that a guy like Patrick Mahomes improvises a lot of plays.

1028
00:48:22,640 --> 00:48:24,359
Speaker 2: So the way he does the place on the run.

1029
00:48:24,440 --> 00:48:26,319
Speaker 2: I mean, this Travis Kelsey thing is kind of like

1030
00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:28,160
Speaker 2: when I was playing two win touch in the streets

1031
00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,239
Speaker 2: at Brooklyn. Go down there and have a button hook

1032
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,160
Speaker 2: in front of the ford and turn around and I'll

1033
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 2: have the ball to you. That's what they do. I mean,

1034
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:36,040
Speaker 2: a lot of those places are just improvised, right.

1035
00:48:36,960 --> 00:48:39,000
Speaker 3: Some of those players that improvise, Yeah, they call them

1036
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 3: second reaction plays where he drops to the top of

1037
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 3: his drop, he's ready to throw, No one's open. Then

1038
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:46,719
Speaker 3: he scrambles around. Well, then it becomes a fire drawer.

1039
00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 3: Everyone just kind of moving and fleeing trying to get

1040
00:48:48,719 --> 00:48:53,640
Speaker 3: to I say, spot but when they refer to like

1041
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:56,480
Speaker 3: doing their own thing, like sometimes you give the quarterback

1042
00:48:56,520 --> 00:48:58,360
Speaker 3: the freedom to check, but other times you're like, no,

1043
00:48:59,400 --> 00:49:01,719
Speaker 3: I'm calling this run it no matter what it is,

1044
00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 3: because I want to see what I'm doing.

1045
00:49:04,600 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 4: I want to see everything.

1046
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:10,920
Speaker 3: And so you just have to have that consistent conversation

1047
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 3: and you got to have a strong relationship for all

1048
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:13,759
Speaker 3: of this to work.

1049
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 2: Beautiful and again, Bucky Brooks NFL dot Com every Friday,

1050
00:49:18,080 --> 00:49:20,959
Speaker 2: the columns are there, very informative. If you're a football fan,

1051
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,480
Speaker 2: you need to go there now. Speaking of quarterbacks, the

1052
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:25,880
Speaker 2: one that's still remaining, the one standing up strong in

1053
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,680
Speaker 2: the AFC North is Lamar Jackson of the Ravens. The

1054
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 2: Ravens are home today against the Rams. Rams have won

1055
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:34,160
Speaker 2: three straight. Last week they beat the Browns thirty six nineteen,

1056
00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:37,200
Speaker 2: and the Rams had their first one thousand yard rookie

1057
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 2: receiver in Pooka Nakua. He did it in the first

1058
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:42,800
Speaker 2: twelve games. The Rams have a pretty good running combo

1059
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: and Williams and Freeman. I still think that with the

1060
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:49,399
Speaker 2: Ravens right now, they mean they may be the very

1061
00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:51,480
Speaker 2: they may be the second best team in the NFL.

1062
00:49:51,760 --> 00:49:53,640
Speaker 2: I think obviously. I think we'll agree that the forty

1063
00:49:53,719 --> 00:49:57,000
Speaker 2: nine ers on number one, perhaps the Eagles, and maybe

1064
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 2: head to head with the Ravens at two.

1065
00:50:00,320 --> 00:50:02,880
Speaker 3: Yeah no, I mean you can make that argument that

1066
00:50:02,920 --> 00:50:05,760
Speaker 3: the Ravens are the second best team in the league.

1067
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:08,440
Speaker 3: The thing about the Ravens that schedule. We've seen them

1068
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 3: drums some top teams, like they absolutely took the Detroit

1069
00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,239
Speaker 3: Lions to the shed, but we've also seen them lay

1070
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 3: some eggs offensively when it's not going. I just need

1071
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:21,640
Speaker 3: to see more consistency from the Ravens. I hear you.

1072
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 3: Though they're the number one seed currently, they probably will

1073
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:27,600
Speaker 3: retain all of that and we'll get to see what

1074
00:50:27,640 --> 00:50:30,960
Speaker 3: they look like in the postseason. I'm still reserving judgment.

1075
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 3: I need to see them. I get to see see

1076
00:50:32,600 --> 00:50:34,439
Speaker 3: them next week. I need to see him up close

1077
00:50:34,440 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 3: and personal to see if I can feel their physicality

1078
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:39,920
Speaker 3: and toughness, because if I can feel that, then it's

1079
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:41,239
Speaker 3: gonna be an issue. Yeah.

1080
00:50:41,280 --> 00:50:43,399
Speaker 2: Next week it's a Sunday night game of Jacksonville. That'll

1081
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:45,560
Speaker 2: be a pretty big one. That's a good one. You'd

1082
00:50:45,600 --> 00:50:48,840
Speaker 2: be down there, right, yeah, Raven and I beg you

1083
00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,279
Speaker 2: be fun. You're speaking of those Lions. The Lions are

1084
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:55,360
Speaker 2: at Chicago this week. They're playing the Bears. In week eleven,

1085
00:50:55,440 --> 00:50:58,360
Speaker 2: the Lions won thirty one to twenty six at Detroit.

1086
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 2: I thought that game is closer than it should have been. Really,

1087
00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:04,840
Speaker 2: But these games, to me, they are nothing more for

1088
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:07,520
Speaker 2: the Bears than auditions for Justin Fields. Will he be

1089
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:09,600
Speaker 2: there next year? Will he be gone to another team

1090
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:12,160
Speaker 2: next year? Now, for the last five teams that the

1091
00:51:12,200 --> 00:51:16,279
Speaker 2: Bears play, our teams would playoff possibilities, So I think

1092
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:19,120
Speaker 2: there's a good possibility now that Justin Fields could be

1093
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 2: wearing a different uniform next year. As far as the Lions,

1094
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 2: I didn't know this. They're nine to three. I knew that,

1095
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,160
Speaker 2: but it's their best start since nineteen sixty two. You

1096
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,080
Speaker 2: weren't even born then, Bucket Brooks.

1097
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 3: I wasn't born in sixty two. Yeah, you're right, I

1098
00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:38,640
Speaker 3: was not born then. But I do think it's interesting

1099
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,279
Speaker 3: that this team has kind of become a rock and

1100
00:51:41,320 --> 00:51:43,600
Speaker 3: soccer robot team, a very physical team, a team that

1101
00:51:43,640 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 3: can get it done against any competition. They are really

1102
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 3: doing a really good job under Dan Campbell in terms

1103
00:51:49,719 --> 00:51:53,239
Speaker 3: of just understanding how they need to play. They got

1104
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:54,880
Speaker 3: to play fast, They got to be on point. They

1105
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:57,160
Speaker 3: need to play with tempo because it helps their quarterback.

1106
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 4: But then finishing the game out.

1107
00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:01,759
Speaker 3: With these runs that we always talk about in four

1108
00:52:01,800 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 3: minute drills, how to close out a game. They do

1109
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:07,520
Speaker 3: all those things and so it's a really good team.

1110
00:52:08,080 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 3: When it comes to Justin Fields, I will say that

1111
00:52:10,840 --> 00:52:15,360
Speaker 3: I feel like he's almost like, not disrespectful, but been wrong.

1112
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,880
Speaker 3: I don't think he ever had like a fair chance

1113
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,600
Speaker 3: in Chicago. First coach didn't really like him, didn't put

1114
00:52:22,680 --> 00:52:24,640
Speaker 3: him in. This coach wasn't really in love with him,

1115
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 3: didn't put him in. But he's continued to play at

1116
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,880
Speaker 3: a high level ever since.

1117
00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 2: It amazes me Justin Fields is the leading rusher for

1118
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 2: the Bears, and Justin Fields has been a problem for

1119
00:52:36,239 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 2: the Lions. He has one hundred and more yards rushing

1120
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:42,319
Speaker 2: in the last three times that they've met, and in

1121
00:52:42,360 --> 00:52:44,359
Speaker 2: Week eleven, in that game, he rushed for one hundred

1122
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:47,440
Speaker 2: and four yards. So I think he rushes the football

1123
00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:49,920
Speaker 2: out of desperation a lot of times because there's no

1124
00:52:49,960 --> 00:52:51,760
Speaker 2: one else on that team that could rush the football

1125
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:52,120
Speaker 2: for him.

1126
00:52:52,239 --> 00:52:54,680
Speaker 4: Really, they don't.

1127
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:58,719
Speaker 3: They don't have a solid The ground game has been inconsistent.

1128
00:52:58,719 --> 00:53:02,399
Speaker 3: When he is not having forced he kind of makes it,

1129
00:53:02,400 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 3: makes it go, he makes it happen. He is unique

1130
00:53:05,440 --> 00:53:08,160
Speaker 3: because he's fast man, he's physically he can do a

1131
00:53:08,200 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 3: lot of different things. But I also know like he

1132
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,160
Speaker 3: needs more weapons on the outside. And so they can

1133
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:17,839
Speaker 3: say this isn't indict mean he needs to be able

1134
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,720
Speaker 3: to play better or whatever. Look, he's the best quarterback

1135
00:53:20,760 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 3: of that class. I mean he's a really good player.

1136
00:53:25,760 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 3: He's been productive, they haven't won. He needs to curb

1137
00:53:28,280 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 3: the fumbles, but I mean he's good. I understand why

1138
00:53:33,120 --> 00:53:37,160
Speaker 3: they want to walk away from him. But man, look

1139
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,120
Speaker 3: it's such a risk to give up on a quarterback

1140
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,480
Speaker 3: that you know has some talent and can get it

1141
00:53:42,520 --> 00:53:45,480
Speaker 3: done and then move on to the unknown. And that's

1142
00:53:45,480 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 3: what you're moving on to. Whether it's Caleb Williams or

1143
00:53:47,440 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 3: Drake may Have. They come out this.

1144
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 2: Could be one of those trap games for the Lions.

1145
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:51,920
Speaker 2: I think the Lions are a better team. I think

1146
00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:54,000
Speaker 2: the Lions should win. Will they win, I don't know,

1147
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:55,719
Speaker 2: But I think the Bears are going to hang around

1148
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 2: long enough that they could win this ball game.

1149
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 4: I'm with you. I can see that now.

1150
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,799
Speaker 3: They're playing better defense. They're beginning to kind of round

1151
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,439
Speaker 3: in the format. Ibraflus is doing a really good job

1152
00:54:06,480 --> 00:54:09,239
Speaker 3: getting them going. Yeah, this is a dangerous one. Man.

1153
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:11,160
Speaker 4: This is the vision rivalry game.

1154
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 3: Everyone knows the opponent comes down to execution and it

1155
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 3: comes down to turnovers.

1156
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,000
Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the Lions here, but this is

1157
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 4: a very tight game.

1158
00:54:20,040 --> 00:54:22,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, And the Bears force Jared goff In the three

1159
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,560
Speaker 2: interceptions the last time they met, So you're right, the

1160
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: defense is gonna put some pressure on Jared Goffin. In

1161
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks, he's been shown that he

1162
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,800
Speaker 2: could be had he's been cracking a little bit. So again,

1163
00:54:32,960 --> 00:54:35,480
Speaker 2: I like the Lions. They're a better team, but be careful,

1164
00:54:35,640 --> 00:54:37,840
Speaker 2: be careful what you wish for. Al Right, he's Bucket Brooks.

1177
00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 2: it's that time. So did I bad nude for one

1178
00:55:23,840 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 2: NFL team that's coming right up? He is my guy,

1179
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Ferman. We are Fox Football Sunday

1180
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:33,239
Speaker 2: at Fox. But it's ready about twenty two pairs the hour,

1181
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 2: and of course we have the Panthers and saintsans. My

1182
00:55:36,120 --> 00:55:38,600
Speaker 2: good friend Mike North would say, if this game was

1183
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:42,439
Speaker 2: in my backyard, I closed the drapes. Really. Panthers one

1184
00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:45,760
Speaker 2: and eleven lead the league and losses, and last week

1185
00:55:46,080 --> 00:55:49,000
Speaker 2: a twenty one to eighteen loss to Tampa Bay, they

1186
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 2: became the first team officially eliminated from the postseason. And

1187
00:55:53,200 --> 00:55:55,880
Speaker 2: not really, Bucky Brooks is not easy to do in

1188
00:55:55,920 --> 00:55:59,480
Speaker 2: the NFC South. That's not an easy task, it really isn't.

1189
00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 2: They're gone Gonzo all right, and their quarterback Bryce youngs

1190
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,120
Speaker 2: got no weapons. It's not his full really that got

1191
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 2: to run the football. Hubber's the guy. He had only

1192
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,560
Speaker 2: two carries for sixteen yards when the Panthers lost twenty

1193
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:16,440
Speaker 2: seventeen in Week two to this team. So did I

1194
00:56:16,560 --> 00:56:18,279
Speaker 2: have a chance. Yeah, and have a chance. Are they

1195
00:56:18,280 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 2: gonna win? Probably not? Probably not?

1196
00:56:21,719 --> 00:56:23,759
Speaker 3: No, probably not because they won't say this one in

1197
00:56:23,800 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 3: detailed enough to be able to get it done. These

1198
00:56:28,080 --> 00:56:30,160
Speaker 3: teams are interesting when you get this time of year.

1199
00:56:30,160 --> 00:56:32,319
Speaker 3: You have to make decisions, hard decisions on who to play,

1200
00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,719
Speaker 3: who to put the ball on, and little coaches are

1201
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 3: prone to human xent like you want to give the

1202
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,239
Speaker 3: ball to the people that you trust the most, and

1203
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,239
Speaker 3: the only way you earn trust is by showing up

1204
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 3: every day doing what's exactly it asked to do. Maximizing

1205
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,200
Speaker 3: your own individual collective talents. That's how you do it.

1206
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:55,040
Speaker 3: So he is, Yeah, I mean, look, I like the situation.

1207
00:56:55,120 --> 00:56:57,000
Speaker 3: I like to see how these things play out. We'll

1208
00:56:57,040 --> 00:56:59,959
Speaker 3: just see. It makes for a very interesting watch for sure.

1209
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,520
Speaker 2: If you really want to watch this game, I mean,

1210
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,080
Speaker 2: you got to zoom in on the running back of

1211
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:06,759
Speaker 2: the Saints, Alvin Kamara. He scored his fifty second and

1212
00:57:06,800 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: fifty third career rushing touchdowns last week, which breaks mark

1213
00:57:10,239 --> 00:57:13,080
Speaker 2: Ingram's record for the franchise. And I did some research.

1214
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:16,280
Speaker 2: I love stats, I love records, and talk about Alvin Kamara.

1215
00:57:16,480 --> 00:57:20,919
Speaker 2: He needs two more touchdown receptions to join Christian McCaffrey

1216
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 2: and Hall of Famous Marshall Falk and Lenny Moore as

1217
00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:28,400
Speaker 2: the only ones get this with fifty career rushing touchdowns

1218
00:57:28,520 --> 00:57:32,560
Speaker 2: and twenty five receiving ones. All right, there's only one

1219
00:57:32,680 --> 00:57:36,080
Speaker 2: question as far as Alvin Kamara is concerned. Who's going

1220
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,480
Speaker 2: to throw them the ball? I mean, because they got

1221
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:41,320
Speaker 2: a possibility of Derek Carr. He's heard, he's not heard,

1222
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: whatever it may be. He's going to play. But he's

1223
00:57:43,600 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 2: not one hundred percent.

1224
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 3: No, he's not one hundred percent. But let's be honest.

1225
00:57:48,240 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 3: He hasn't played well. And know some people down there

1226
00:57:52,280 --> 00:57:54,360
Speaker 3: not necessarily touched to the team, but around the team,

1227
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 3: it has not been a great look for him.

1228
00:57:56,640 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 4: You know, it's just he hasn't look.

1229
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:03,240
Speaker 3: He hasn't given him the toughness, he hasn't given them

1230
00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 3: the leadership, He hasn't helped him go to the next level.

1231
00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 3: I would say that the Saints would be better served

1232
00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:09,840
Speaker 3: to have a combination of Taysom Hill than Jameis Winston

1233
00:58:09,880 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 3: playing as opposed to Derek Carr playing. He just isn't underperformed, man,

1234
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:17,520
Speaker 3: And people talked about for years way till he gets

1235
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:18,080
Speaker 3: a defense.

1236
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:19,080
Speaker 4: Well he has a defense.

1237
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 3: It's lifesyle, and he still hasn't been able to do

1238
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:22,920
Speaker 3: it at some point, Man, you got to look at

1239
00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 3: the product, the product on the field.

1240
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 4: Derek Carr is not elite. He's not an elite player.

1241
00:58:29,680 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 2: How much of a factor do you think the loss

1242
00:58:32,920 --> 00:58:35,120
Speaker 2: of Sean Payton. I know he's gone now for two years,

1243
00:58:35,160 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 2: but you know, certainly, I look what Sean Payton has

1244
00:58:38,040 --> 00:58:40,600
Speaker 2: done in Denver. I mean I never thought, really a

1245
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 2: coach meant that much. I mean, you played the game,

1246
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 2: so you could answer that question. Look, a coach can

1247
00:58:46,480 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 2: only do so much if he doesn't have the personnel.

1248
00:58:48,680 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: But certainly there are some coaches that could really squeeze

1249
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,360
Speaker 2: it out of you, and I think Sean Payton's one

1250
00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,400
Speaker 2: of them. And I think Belichick's. Look, I think he's

1251
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 2: the greatest coach of all time. The fact that he

1252
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:01,440
Speaker 2: beat Pittsburgh the other day was believe that's an understatement

1253
00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:03,480
Speaker 2: underline how great a coach he is.

1254
00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, so a couple of different things when it comes

1255
00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,680
Speaker 3: to Sean Payton. People have to remember the same people

1256
00:59:09,720 --> 00:59:15,200
Speaker 3: that tutored and mentored Bill Belichick. Uh, you know, Bill

1257
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 3: Parcells also mentor Sean Payton. And so Bill Parcells has

1258
00:59:21,320 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 3: taught Sean Payton the gift of being confrontational with his

1259
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 3: players when he needs to be. He loves him up.

1260
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:29,440
Speaker 3: He loves this guy's heart. But he is not afraid

1261
00:59:29,600 --> 00:59:32,000
Speaker 3: to tell them the truth. And because of that, there's

1262
00:59:32,080 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 3: automatic buy in because he doesn't mince words, he doesn't

1263
00:59:35,600 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 3: sugarcoat it. Russell Wilson to the bottomst player on their roster.

1264
00:59:39,040 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 3: They all get it. That's restorabaghed Re established the pecking order.

1265
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,720
Speaker 3: And I just think about the job that Sean Payton

1266
00:59:47,760 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 3: has been able to do going from New Orleans to Denver,

1267
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 3: inherited a situation that was a mess. And now maybe

1268
00:59:54,440 --> 00:59:57,080
Speaker 3: when he spoke out a turn about Nathania Hacking in

1269
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:00,720
Speaker 3: the summer and everyone was outraged, it's true after we've

1270
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:06,400
Speaker 3: seen another another but sample size with Nathaniel Hackett with

1271
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,320
Speaker 3: the Jets, and how Sean Payton his cot and got

1272
01:00:08,360 --> 01:00:10,400
Speaker 3: the the Broncos playing better.

1273
01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's been okay, it's worked out for.

1274
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 2: Him, right, he's got the last left, he really does.

1275
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 2: All right, we move along now, because that game was ridiculous, Viking.

1276
01:00:20,760 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 2: Can you imagine paying a hundred bucks to watch that

1277
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:25,400
Speaker 2: game for a ticket? That would that would really irk me,

1278
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 2: That would really tick me off.

1279
01:00:26,880 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, that would be a tough one.

1280
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:32,320
Speaker 2: Oh geez. Vikings at Raiders and the Raiders, this is

1281
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 2: a question. They waived their quarterback Marcus Peters for financial

1282
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 2: reasons during that boad week last week. What was that

1283
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:39,280
Speaker 2: all about?

1284
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah? I didn't Maybe they just didn't want to pay him,

1285
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:44,560
Speaker 3: didn't want to pay him big money. I don't.

1286
01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:44,920
Speaker 4: I don't know.

1287
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 3: He wasn't commanding a lot of money. But if you're

1288
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:51,680
Speaker 3: not going to play him, pay If you're not going

1289
01:00:51,720 --> 01:00:53,800
Speaker 3: to play him and you don't want to pay him,

1290
01:00:53,800 --> 01:00:54,240
Speaker 3: the don't think.

1291
01:00:54,120 --> 01:00:55,160
Speaker 4: You can do is cut him.

1292
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 2: It's amazing, it really is. I Mean, I thought they'd

1293
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 2: have the money, but I guess they don't. You know,

1294
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:00,800
Speaker 2: I think the owner shol splad it too much money

1295
01:01:00,760 --> 01:01:03,920
Speaker 2: on the women's basketball team that they have the aces.

1296
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 2: That's the problem. Stuck out the money there anyway, The

1297
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,720
Speaker 2: Vikings are six and six. They're making a push for

1298
01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:13,280
Speaker 2: the playoffs. Last week that to buy coming off two losses. Now,

1299
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:15,560
Speaker 2: one was that ugly twelve to ten lost to the

1300
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:19,439
Speaker 2: Bears and quarterback Josh Jobs through four ants in that game.

1301
01:01:19,600 --> 01:01:21,800
Speaker 2: But here's the stat for you, and got to explain

1302
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:24,400
Speaker 2: this one to me. Vikings has mentioned a six and six,

1303
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: but five and two since the Justin Jefferson hamstring injury. Okay,

1304
01:01:31,280 --> 01:01:34,080
Speaker 2: now Jefferson's going to return today, But five and two

1305
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:37,600
Speaker 2: after missing Justin Jefferson, how does that happen?

1306
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,320
Speaker 3: Coaching finding a way to figure out what you have

1307
01:01:43,480 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 3: and play to the strengths of your team. That might

1308
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,880
Speaker 3: mean running the ball more so your defense canna be

1309
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:50,240
Speaker 3: fresh and forcing turnovers.

1310
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 4: Brian Floyd has done a really good.

1311
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:55,200
Speaker 3: Job of attacking people with a mix of cover zero

1312
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:59,880
Speaker 3: and drop eight. Coverage keeps quarterbacks kind of uncomfortab because

1313
01:01:59,880 --> 01:02:03,480
Speaker 3: they can't figure out what they're doing offensively. Kevin O'Connor's

1314
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 3: done a really good job calling plays for a gentleman

1315
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:09,320
Speaker 3: quarterback and Josh Stapps Dobbs. They have a rout running

1316
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 3: and Jordan Addison who stepped into their role and field it.

1317
01:02:12,160 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 3: But they were able to work around whatever issues they've

1318
01:02:18,800 --> 01:02:20,760
Speaker 3: been so Kevin O'Connell, his staffs, there's a lot of

1319
01:02:20,760 --> 01:02:24,000
Speaker 3: credit for keeping this thing together and not falling apart

1320
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,840
Speaker 3: just because you see you start in quarterback crumble to

1321
01:02:25,840 --> 01:02:26,240
Speaker 3: the turf.

1322
01:02:26,480 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, and speaking of coaches, the Raiders are two and

1323
01:02:28,320 --> 01:02:30,640
Speaker 2: two with the new head coach, Antonio appears. But the

1324
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 2: problem is that they can't get any points out of

1325
01:02:32,720 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: the offense. Offense is terrible. The Vikings are a better team.

1326
01:02:35,360 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: The Vikings will win this game today. You know, I

1327
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,160
Speaker 2: say it with all confidence of placats to making my face,

1328
01:02:40,200 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 2: but I do believe Vikings are a better team. The

1329
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 2: Vikings should win. Vikings should win this game.

1330
01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't disagree with you. They should win.

1331
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 4: But in these days, you never know, You never.

1332
01:02:52,200 --> 01:02:54,320
Speaker 2: Know, you really, all right, Bucket Brooks. The one thing

1333
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 2: I do know is that you know Bucky Brooks, Andy Furman,

1334
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 2: Fox Football Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. You know, here's

1335
01:03:01,040 --> 01:03:04,000
Speaker 2: your stat that you may have missed. Okay, that's coming

1336
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,840
Speaker 2: up next live from the ti iraq dot com studios.

1337
01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,560
Speaker 2: But first, our guy, we never missed him. Kevin. Why

1338
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:10,600
Speaker 2: with all your sports.

1339
01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:14,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, we got some updates for today's slate of NFL games.

1340
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:17,280
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport with a few posts on Twitter overnight. One

1341
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: regarding the Seahawks, Gino Smith is truly a game time decision.

1342
01:03:22,480 --> 01:03:25,880
Speaker 1: He's questionable with a groin injury. Drew Locke is prepared

1343
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:28,440
Speaker 1: to start. He did take most of the reps in

1344
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:31,760
Speaker 1: a practice late this week. But if Gino can possibly

1345
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:34,120
Speaker 1: get out there, you will, but his status is truly

1346
01:03:34,200 --> 01:03:37,200
Speaker 1: up in the air. Regarding their running backs, Kenneth Walker

1347
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 1: Zach Sharboney both listened as questionable. However, they were full

1348
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: participants in practice on Friday, so that's a sign they

1349
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: should play today. Derek Carr will play. Taysom Hill will not.

1350
01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,040
Speaker 1: Hill has been dealing with a foot and left hand issue,

1351
01:03:52,080 --> 01:03:54,480
Speaker 1: so you will not be on the field today. Chrystal

1352
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,280
Speaker 1: Lave though, will play. He's been out last couple of

1353
01:03:58,320 --> 01:04:02,160
Speaker 1: days with an illness. Raiders defensive end Max Crosby he's

1354
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 1: listened as questionable with a knee injury, but he said

1355
01:04:04,720 --> 01:04:08,240
Speaker 1: that quote if I've got a heartbeat, meaning that he'll

1356
01:04:08,280 --> 01:04:11,840
Speaker 1: be out there, So come hell high water, he'll be

1357
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: out there playing today for the Raiders. Jaguars quarterback Trevor

1358
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:19,360
Speaker 1: Lawrence dealing with a high ankle sprain, feeling better than expected.

1359
01:04:19,760 --> 01:04:21,800
Speaker 1: He's still a game time decision and he will be

1360
01:04:21,840 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: evaluated by the medical staff this morning, but he is

1361
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:28,080
Speaker 1: pushing to go, and there's a belief that Lawrence wants

1362
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:32,280
Speaker 1: to make that happen. Regarding the biggest news of the

1363
01:04:32,320 --> 01:04:36,040
Speaker 1: sports world on Saturday Show, Ao Tani now the richest

1364
01:04:36,040 --> 01:04:40,120
Speaker 1: man in American sports history, signing a ten year, seven

1365
01:04:40,200 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract with the La Dodgers. But a

1366
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 1: bunch of that has deferred, so the Dodgers still gonna

1367
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,360
Speaker 1: have flexibility to possibly add some pieces and keep themselves

1368
01:04:51,840 --> 01:04:55,640
Speaker 1: consistently in a contention to surround you know, to satisfy

1369
01:04:55,720 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: Otawny and having him go there. The Dodgers do open

1370
01:04:58,480 --> 01:05:00,320
Speaker 1: the next season with a couple of games in South

1371
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 1: Korea against the Padres and Marchalo. Yeah, he'll be on

1372
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 1: the international stage right away with his new team Lakers,

1373
01:05:08,520 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 1: winners of the NBA's inaugural in season Tournament. They meet

1374
01:05:11,720 --> 01:05:14,000
Speaker 1: the Pacers in the final in Las Vegas. Won twenty

1375
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 1: three one oh nine Anthony Davis forty one points and

Speaker 1: twenty rebounds, Lebron James, the tournament MVP and the Heisman

1377
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:27,240
Speaker 1: Trophy winner of twenty twenty three. LSU's Jaden Daniels as

1378
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:31,040
Speaker 1: the senior quarterback, had forty touchdown passes just four interceptions.

1379
01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: He ran for over eleven hundred yards, had a ten

1380
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 1: rushing at touchdowns. Back to you guys, thank.

1381
01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:39,160

1391
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 2: what Kevin said, Gino Smith, is he playing today? Is

1392
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 2: he quarterbacking for the Seahawks today? Gino, I don't think

1393
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:13,840
Speaker 2: it'll make a difference anyway.

1394
01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,920
Speaker 1: Oh but yeah, it's a game time decision, Game time

1395
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 1: game time decision. Yeah, okay, but.

1396
01:06:19,200 --> 01:06:21,160
Speaker 2: Forty nine is when they're all healthy, they're the best

1397
01:06:21,160 --> 01:06:23,640
Speaker 2: team in the NFL at bar. Now, that's that's basically it.

1398
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Forty nine is a stat. Forty nine ers are nine

1399
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,240
Speaker 2: to one this year when they're wide receiver Deebo Samuel

1400
01:06:30,440 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 2: plays and they lost that one losses when they were

1401
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:36,000
Speaker 2: at Cleveland when he injured his shoulders. So that tells

1402
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,880
Speaker 2: you how valuable he is. But they have so many

1403
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 2: moving parts on that offensive side of the ball. You know,

1404
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 2: it certainly makes Rock Party a candidate I think for

1405
01:06:43,560 --> 01:06:46,240
Speaker 2: MVP because of then you know, he makes him, he

1406
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:50,560
Speaker 2: makes them go, but they make him look good. That's

1407
01:06:50,600 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 2: basically what it is.

1408
01:06:55,120 --> 01:06:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, when I think about that, it look it's all

1409
01:06:58,160 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 3: about like the way that they control. So we talked

1410
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 3: about this offense. We talked about this team that is multiple,

1411
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:06,240
Speaker 3: not only in how they go about it, but they

1412
01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:09,240
Speaker 3: have players that are what we call hybrids, guys that

1413
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 3: can do a bunch of different things. And it's all

1414
01:07:12,360 --> 01:07:14,360
Speaker 3: about putting those guys in a position to get the

1415
01:07:14,400 --> 01:07:17,560
Speaker 3: ball in the open field, to create separation in space.

1416
01:07:18,040 --> 01:07:20,280
Speaker 4: Then it's about having the quarterback who you.

1417
01:07:20,240 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 3: Can refer to him as a game manager or playmaker,

1418
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 3: whatever you want to call them. He is a perfect

1419
01:07:24,680 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 3: fit for what the coach wants done. And we've seen

1420
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:30,720
Speaker 3: other quarterbacks have success in the system, but he gets

1421
01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:34,080
Speaker 3: frustrated because they can't do it. This quarterback does it

1422
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 3: the right way. This is a good team, man, This

1423
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,560
Speaker 3: is a dominant team when they're playing. I mean, they

1424
01:07:39,560 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 3: bring their a game. I don't think there's a team

1425
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 3: in the league that can beat them as a matter

1426
01:07:43,040 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 3: of can they bring their a game from here until

1427
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 3: the end of the season.

1428
01:07:46,560 --> 01:07:48,120
Speaker 4: That's why we tune in and watch the games.

1429
01:07:48,280 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 2: You know, this is week fourteen, and obviously the Seahawks

1430
01:07:51,480 --> 01:07:52,880
Speaker 2: are playing out of the forty nine ers. But in

1431
01:07:52,920 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: week twelve, they two teams had met in Seattle. Seattle

1432
01:07:56,560 --> 01:07:57,560
Speaker 2: lull thirty one to thirteen.

1433
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:57,840
Speaker 1: Kids.

1434
01:07:57,840 --> 01:08:00,720
Speaker 2: The schedule makers do something up that. I mean, when

1435
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,400
Speaker 2: they're playing someone and two weeks later they're playing them again,

1436
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,760
Speaker 2: I gotta believe there's got to be a better way,

1437
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:06,480
Speaker 2: don't you think.

1438
01:08:07,560 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 3: I think so. It's weird though, it's you know, because

1439
01:08:10,320 --> 01:08:12,200
Speaker 3: you want to put games on that matter. You never

1440
01:08:12,240 --> 01:08:14,240
Speaker 3: know which teams are gonna be the teams that emerges

1441
01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 3: the playoff team, So you're trying to balance it out

1442
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 3: that way while taking on the responsibilities of having a

1443
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:25,960
Speaker 3: bunch of different things on your play.

1444
01:08:28,479 --> 01:08:29,080
Speaker 2: It's amazing.

1445
01:08:29,720 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting, yeah, for sure.

1446
01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,120
Speaker 2: All Right, forty nine Ers had a big win last

1447
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,160
Speaker 2: week at Philadelphia, forty two to nineteen. As a player,

1448
01:08:37,280 --> 01:08:39,000
Speaker 2: and you know, once you play, always a player, and

1449
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: you played the game at the highest level in the NFL.

1450
01:08:41,479 --> 01:08:44,760
Speaker 2: Bucket Brooks, is there an emotional letdown after a big

1451
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:47,120
Speaker 2: win like that? Or do you feel so much more

1452
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:49,759
Speaker 2: confidence than you're going to roll and steamroll everybody? Because

1453
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 2: I think there could be an emotional letdown, Not that

1454
01:08:52,000 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 2: they're going to lose to the Seahawks, but there's always

1455
01:08:54,040 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: that possibility.

1456
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's always a possibility. Everybody goes there because you can't.

1457
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:01,439
Speaker 3: If we're going to play the game again, you gotta

1458
01:09:01,479 --> 01:09:04,080
Speaker 3: go through the whole process. Y'all, learn how to identify it.

1459
01:09:04,160 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 3: You got to then take the steps to cultivate the culture.

1460
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 3: Make sure everyone's on the same page. There's one voice

1461
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 3: from top to bottom. The coaches are making sure they

1462
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,400
Speaker 3: do the things that you want done. They're not doing

1463
01:09:14,439 --> 01:09:18,000
Speaker 3: their own thing. And the more that you kind of

1464
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,240
Speaker 3: lose sight of all that, the harder it becomes to

1465
01:09:20,320 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 3: maintain the consistency needed to be a program that's always

1466
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 3: in the mix. It's challenging. That's why you see guys

1467
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 3: burn out because it requires twenty four to seven three

1468
01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:33,040
Speaker 3: sixty five management to be able to be a championship

1469
01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:33,759
Speaker 3: caliber squad.

1470
01:09:34,200 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 2: Right and speaking of that, speaking of championship caliber squads,

1471
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:39,479
Speaker 2: this Kansas City Chiefs team's gonna have a tough time

1472
01:09:39,479 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 2: to repeat his champions because they're hosting the Bills today.

1473
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:44,920
Speaker 2: The Chiefs are eight and four. They lost at Green

1474
01:09:44,960 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 2: bayless we twenty seven nineteen. The Chiefs offense is the

1475
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:53,080
Speaker 2: worst this year in the Patrick Mahomes era. Why perhaps

1476
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 2: maybe no Tyreek Hill, perhaps no Eric the enemy calling plays.

1477
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,600
Speaker 2: I don't know, but look they're not doing well offensively.

1478
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: Defense is carrying them. And the next loss for the

1479
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 2: Kansas City Chiefs, this is amazing, will be the most

1480
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:11,880
Speaker 2: losses and regular season for Patrick Mahomes since he became

1481
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 2: a starter back in twenty eighteen. And the big news

1482
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,040
Speaker 2: is that they lose last week in Green Bay with

1483
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: Taylor Swift in attendance. How's that Taylor Swift? So what's

1484
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,840
Speaker 2: happening with the offense to Kansas City. Can they turn

1485
01:10:25,880 --> 01:10:26,840
Speaker 2: it around?

1486
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:29,599
Speaker 3: Well, a couple of things they're happening. One, you got

1487
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 3: a bunch of young guys out there playing where Tyreek

1488
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:35,200
Speaker 3: Hill would have been in year six or seven, maybe eight,

1489
01:10:35,479 --> 01:10:37,920
Speaker 3: playing with Travis Kelsey. Knows how to move around, knows

1490
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,200
Speaker 3: where his sweet spots are, knows where he's going to

1491
01:10:40,240 --> 01:10:43,000
Speaker 3: get the ball. My McCarthy has to manufacture a little more.

1492
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 3: So he has to make sure that, I mean, they

1493
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:49,360
Speaker 3: got to make sure that the ball gets to where

1494
01:10:49,360 --> 01:10:51,679
Speaker 3: they want to go in terms of like just trying

1495
01:10:51,720 --> 01:10:54,439
Speaker 3: to figure out how to play, who wants it, how

1496
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,400
Speaker 3: to do it, and I mean Andy Reid, now, my McCarthy,

1497
01:10:56,479 --> 01:10:58,120
Speaker 3: Andy Reid has to make sure the ball gets to

1498
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:01,799
Speaker 3: the playmakers. The young receivers lead the NFL and drops

1499
01:11:01,800 --> 01:11:05,200
Speaker 3: thirty drop passes from the Kansity Chiefs. That's unacceptable. There's

1500
01:11:05,240 --> 01:11:08,200
Speaker 3: too much. And so what you have is a team

1501
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:11,280
Speaker 3: that's used to operating from outside in, meaning that perimeter

1502
01:11:11,360 --> 01:11:14,720
Speaker 3: players set the table. Then the running game takes off.

1503
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,080
Speaker 3: Right now, they can't do that to me. What they

1504
01:11:17,080 --> 01:11:19,160
Speaker 3: need to do is run the football. Be committed to

1505
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:21,600
Speaker 3: running the football. See if they can force people to

1506
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:25,960
Speaker 3: abandon how they play them currently based on having to

1507
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:28,840
Speaker 3: defend a stout running game. And then it's about making

1508
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 3: sure that the ball has to go to three people

1509
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 3: and three people primarily, it needs to go to Travis Kelce,

1510
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 3: it needs to go to Rayja Rice, and then it

1511
01:11:36,040 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 3: needs to go to one of the running backs, Jared McKinnon,

1512
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:44,280
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco. Those guys start making sure that those guys

1513
01:11:44,400 --> 01:11:47,320
Speaker 3: touch the ball the most. Everyone else eats off of that.

1514
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:49,840
Speaker 3: But your offense will flow better when you narrow it

1515
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:51,640
Speaker 3: down and just say, hey man, I'm gonna put the

1516
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:53,320
Speaker 3: ball in the hands of the best players, and I'm

1517
01:11:53,320 --> 01:11:54,560
Speaker 3: gonna get out the way and not worry about the

1518
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:55,080
Speaker 3: white noise.

1519
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 2: But Checko, I don't think he's playing to I think

1520
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:58,120
Speaker 2: he serves.

1521
01:11:58,240 --> 01:11:59,040
Speaker 4: So he's not playing.

1522
01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 3: So Jerike McKinnon a big player in this, Clyde Edwards,

1523
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 3: a lar, Jake McKinnon. You got to make sure that

1524
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:06,960
Speaker 3: those guys get touches. So the screen game has to

1525
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,280
Speaker 3: be a big part of it. They'll do some RPOs

1526
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 3: in those things, but without the running back in it's

1527
01:12:12,400 --> 01:12:16,040
Speaker 3: all the playmakers on the outside. They should have dominant days.

1528
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:17,320
Speaker 3: They got to figure out a way to catch it.

1529
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:18,880
Speaker 3: But if they catch it, they're going to be opportunities

1530
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:19,240
Speaker 3: for him.

1531
01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:19,720
Speaker 4: You know.

1532
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,599
Speaker 2: And the funny thing is, with this eight and four

1533
01:12:21,640 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 2: record with the Chiefs, all of a sudden, now I

1534
01:12:23,880 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 2: think opponents are kind of saying, at least coaches are

1535
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 2: telling them during the week to practice that they are

1536
01:12:29,520 --> 01:12:32,680
Speaker 2: a beatable team right now. You know, they've improved by

1537
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 2: their record right now in twenty twenty three, they are

1538
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:38,439
Speaker 2: a beatable team. Here's the deal. If Buffalo cannot turn

1539
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,600
Speaker 2: the ball over I'm pointing my finger right now with

1540
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:44,120
Speaker 2: their quarterback Josh Allen, don't turn the ball over and

1541
01:12:44,200 --> 01:12:47,519
Speaker 2: run the football with James Cook. There's a possibility that

1542
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,439
Speaker 2: you could win this game. Now, the game is in

1543
01:12:49,560 --> 01:12:52,280
Speaker 2: Kansas City, which is a tough place to play, probably

1544
01:12:52,320 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 2: one of the toughest, if not maybe Seattle's up there

1545
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,360
Speaker 2: and Kansas City right one two as far as tough

1546
01:12:57,360 --> 01:12:58,480
Speaker 2: places to play.

1547
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, tough, just because of the noise.

1548
01:13:01,600 --> 01:13:05,800
Speaker 3: The noise is such a huge advantage for the defense.

1549
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,600
Speaker 3: You know, you can't hear anything, you can't think, you

1550
01:13:09,680 --> 01:13:11,519
Speaker 3: have to go on silent count. So now you're on

1551
01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 3: silent count and you're guessing and anticipating when people are

1552
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:16,960
Speaker 3: going to go to defenses all I mean, they're going

1553
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 3: on the staffs, so they're flying off the ball. It

1554
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,800
Speaker 3: is tough in that regard. But you talked about what

1555
01:13:22,840 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 3: the key to the game is. The key to is

1556
01:13:24,360 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 3: I mean can they avoid the turnover? The turnovers kill

1557
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 3: them and so if you can avoid the turnover.

1558
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:30,559
Speaker 4: You have a shot.

1559
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,720
Speaker 3: It's about taking care of the football. So the number

1560
01:13:32,760 --> 01:13:34,080
Speaker 3: one priority if you take care of the boy got

1561
01:13:34,120 --> 01:13:34,720
Speaker 3: a chance to win.

1562
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:37,519
Speaker 2: Well, Brian Cook a safety for Kansas City, he's out,

1563
01:13:37,560 --> 01:13:40,400
Speaker 2: so I think that Stefan could have a field day today.

1564
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 2: If he doesn't drop the ball, they don't turn the

1565
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:44,640
Speaker 2: ball over. So I think they're going to exploit that

1566
01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:47,959
Speaker 2: secondary exploit some of the injuries on defense. Look, their

1567
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:51,160
Speaker 2: offense is hurting, Kansas City defense is carrying them, but

1568
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:52,800
Speaker 2: they've got a lot of injuries on the defensive side

1569
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:54,880
Speaker 2: of the ball. Right now, though the game is in

1570
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 2: Kansas City, I think that Bills win this game.

1571
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:57,439
Speaker 4: I really do.

1572
01:14:00,400 --> 01:14:03,880
Speaker 2: Esteem What was the least time What was the least

1573
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:06,800
Speaker 2: time Kansas City has lost back to back games? They

1574
01:14:06,840 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 2: lost Philadelphia right twenty one to seven, long time, and.

1575
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:12,120
Speaker 3: I can't even remember spend a long time.

1576
01:14:12,560 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 2: They beat Vegas two weeks ago, but the lost last

1577
01:14:15,439 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 2: week the Green Bay. But this would be two in

1578
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,519
Speaker 2: a row, and I don't remember when they was back

1579
01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:21,479
Speaker 2: to back games. But I think this is a goodie.

1580
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,639
Speaker 2: He's one of the better games today. I think Buffalo

1581
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 2: wins this game, and it's goulda be a good ball game.

1582
01:14:26,920 --> 01:14:30,080
Speaker 2: But again, i'd like to see front row players, the

1583
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:32,640
Speaker 2: front line players playing. You know, you don't get that

1584
01:14:32,720 --> 01:14:34,920
Speaker 2: every week anymore, and that's a shame, but it's part

1585
01:14:34,920 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 2: of the game. They talk about the Bills losing von Miller,

1586
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:41,240
Speaker 2: their linebacker. Again, I looked at some stats. Big deal,

1587
01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 2: what has he done? What has von Miller done this year?

1588
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:46,840
Speaker 2: No sacks, three pressures? Really, so when they says, look

1589
01:14:46,880 --> 01:14:49,559
Speaker 2: they lose von Miller, I don't think it's that big

1590
01:14:49,560 --> 01:14:50,080
Speaker 2: of a loss.

1591
01:14:50,080 --> 01:14:50,719
Speaker 4: What do you think.

1592
01:14:51,680 --> 01:14:54,480
Speaker 3: I think it's a big log just from an emotional

1593
01:14:54,760 --> 01:14:57,559
Speaker 3: leadership standpoint, he kind of is a stabilizing force on

1594
01:14:57,600 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 3: this team.

1595
01:14:57,960 --> 01:14:59,000
Speaker 4: This team can fall apart.

1596
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:00,760
Speaker 3: Going all the way back to my time, dude, it

1597
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 3: used to be called the Bickering Bills because when things

1598
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,639
Speaker 3: would go bad, people with fingerpoint. They got to hold

1599
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 3: it together. We've seen some of this, some of this

1600
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,879
Speaker 3: stuff kind of manifest itself. Like people talk about Stefan

1601
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 3: Diggs and Josh.

1602
01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:14,600
Speaker 2: Ellen ye had prior to the preseason.

1603
01:15:14,680 --> 01:15:18,320
Speaker 3: Gallen hasn't played Yeah, Josh Allen hasn't played great. He's

1604
01:15:18,360 --> 01:15:20,519
Speaker 3: played better sometimes as a one man show, but he

1605
01:15:20,520 --> 01:15:23,400
Speaker 3: hasn't played great. They got the quarterback up out of

1606
01:15:23,400 --> 01:15:26,640
Speaker 3: the paint. So now this is different. So if it

1607
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:29,960
Speaker 3: doesn't go well here, I mean, he's gonna have to roll.

1608
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 4: Someone would have.

1609
01:15:30,800 --> 01:15:34,120
Speaker 3: To take responsibility for kind of messing around with a

1610
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:35,960

Speaker 2: his pay per view and I'm not watching the pay

1700
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm not. If I could steal it, if I could

1701
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 2: hack into it, I'll do it fine paying. I'm tired

1705
01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,960

1706
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:57,920
Speaker 2: you know what the problem was. My wife said this,

1707
01:19:58,240 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 2: She said that because everybody's ordering all the gifts on Amazon,

1708
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 2: that's why it was tough to get through.

1709
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,960
Speaker 3: You can watch it on Twitch too, if you guys

1710
01:20:04,960 --> 01:20:05,320

01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,280
Speaker 7: Yeah, I do that when Amazon's not working for me.

1744
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 1: for you you're sitting there going who's Nathan Rourke and

1745
01:21:58,280 --> 01:21:59,240
Speaker 1: what's he gonna do for me?

1746
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm doing that. I don't know.

1747
01:22:04,720 --> 01:22:07,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's gonna be a viable option today.

1748
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:10,400
Speaker 1: All right, well we'll talk about that because Nathan Rourke

1749
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 1: for the well, I mean he's new to the game

1750
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: right here, elevated by the Jaguars. So you know, we

1751
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,439
Speaker 1: got to know all our new participants to this football world. Gentleman.

1752
01:22:22,479 --> 01:22:24,559
Speaker 1: Of course, I want to start back though, remember when

1753
01:22:24,560 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 1: the Heisman Trophy presentation was must see viewing. Now we

1754
01:22:29,240 --> 01:22:32,840
Speaker 1: have perfect betting lines and angles and everything else, so

1755
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:35,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't have the same juice. But I want to

1756
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:38,760
Speaker 1: start with this base question. As I am located here

1757
01:22:38,800 --> 01:22:41,720
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, I am surrounded by a bunch of

1758
01:22:41,880 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: USC hanks, and obviously it was a season that went

1759
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,679
Speaker 1: off the rails when you look at the wins, losses,

1760
01:22:48,760 --> 01:22:53,320
Speaker 1: the terrible defense, etc. I'm still a bit shocked. And

1761
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:56,920
Speaker 1: I celebrate the Jayden Daniels win. Why because it was

1762
01:22:57,080 --> 01:23:00,600
Speaker 1: recognized individual achievement, right, fifty total touch downs, all the

1763
01:23:00,640 --> 01:23:04,320
Speaker 1: greatness on the field. They lost three games, so it

1764
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: wasn't Sometimes we say, well, you know you gotta have

1765
01:23:06,960 --> 01:23:10,519
Speaker 1: that ultimate team success. Well you didn't, right, he didn't.

1766
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 1: They didn't play for a conference title or whatever else.

1767
01:23:13,479 --> 01:23:16,599
Speaker 1: But Caleb Williams doesn't finish as a top ten vote

1768
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:20,760
Speaker 1: getter despite putting up forty one total touchdowns and some

1769
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:23,719
Speaker 1: pinball like numbers. And I know there were some leaner numbers,

1770
01:23:23,720 --> 01:23:26,920
Speaker 1: some leaner times down the stretch, but not even a

1771
01:23:27,000 --> 01:23:31,880
Speaker 1: top ten for trying to carry that horrid defense and

1772
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:35,599
Speaker 1: USC squad along. Guys, was it Do you think the

1773
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,360
Speaker 1: brooding and the emotions of it all came in or

1774
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:41,640
Speaker 1: were there really ten better candidates?

1775
01:23:41,960 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 2: No doubt? You know what though? And Bucky. We told

1776
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:47,519
Speaker 2: that there weeks ago after that one loss, when he

1777
01:23:47,520 --> 01:23:49,040
Speaker 2: went in through the stands with his mom and daddy

1778
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,679
Speaker 2: started crying that quit about position as a leadership position.

1779
01:23:53,240 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 2: He showed the world he's not much of a leader.

1780
01:23:56,439 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 2: He cracked. And I think that that's going to hurt

1781
01:23:58,920 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 2: him in draft.

1782
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:00,240
Speaker 3: Thing.

1783
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:02,760
Speaker 2: A lot of a lot of personal guys in the

1784
01:24:02,880 --> 01:24:05,599
Speaker 2: NFL go this at. He may have the skill set

1785
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 2: as a player, you know, god given ability to play

1786
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:10,719
Speaker 2: the game, but what does he have between his ears?

1787
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,160
Speaker 2: That's the thing. And I think voters are that way.

1788
01:24:13,200 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 2: I mean they looked at the guy and they said,

1789
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 2: I't vote for this guy. They didn't bother with the stats,

1790
01:24:17,240 --> 01:24:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm not going to vote for this guy. And I

1791
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:22,759
Speaker 2: looked at the season usc he had defensively with a horrid,

1792
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 2: horrid season.

1793
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,599
Speaker 3: Uh. And I think there's also a little fatigue, you know,

1794
01:24:29,800 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 3: like just kind of been there, done that, kind of

1795
01:24:33,960 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 3: over it. I think that might have kind of factored

1796
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:43,240
Speaker 3: into yeah, like yeah, okay, that's cool. I mean, there's

1797
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 3: a reason why Archie Griffin is the only one that's

1798
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 3: going back to back, you know what I'm saying Like this,

1799
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 3: it's just hard bit we get bored, you know, our

1800
01:24:50,240 --> 01:24:54,840
Speaker 3: attention spent. We lock on somebody and appreciate their greatness.

1801
01:24:56,280 --> 01:24:59,240
Speaker 3: We spend the next few months doing try and tear

1802
01:24:59,280 --> 01:25:01,680
Speaker 3: him down, trying to poke holes in their games. And

1803
01:25:02,120 --> 01:25:04,720
Speaker 3: so with Caleb there's some of that, and then there

1804
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,479
Speaker 3: was also like the team wasn't as good. We thought

1805
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:09,840
Speaker 3: this team was going to compete at a high level.

1806
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:12,599
Speaker 3: They weren't as good, and he didn't play as well,

1807
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:15,320
Speaker 3: which is why he fell out the top ten. Even

1808
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:18,360
Speaker 3: though when we flipped the calendar and we start turning

1809
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,479
Speaker 3: to the draft, he'll be back to being Pat Mahomes

1810
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: two point zero.

1811
01:25:21,360 --> 01:25:24,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the curiosity to extend it, right, because I

1812
01:25:24,720 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: heard you guys as I was driving in a little

1813
01:25:26,439 --> 01:25:29,160
Speaker 1: bit talking about Justin Fields talking about the number one

1814
01:25:29,280 --> 01:25:33,479
Speaker 1: pick given the struggles, for lack of a better term

1815
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:37,360
Speaker 1: of the Carolina Panthers, which we've chronicled as at nauseum,

1816
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:40,080
Speaker 1: and then the Patriots go and eat the Steelers on

1817
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:42,720
Speaker 1: Thursday night to more or less lock that up. Right.

1818
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:45,840
Speaker 1: So for Caleb Williams, you know, when we talk about

1819
01:25:45,920 --> 01:25:48,600
Speaker 1: leadership and looking, part of that's Lincoln Riley. They go

1820
01:25:48,720 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: hand in hand. There's a guy that has abdicated responsibility

1821
01:25:52,080 --> 01:25:54,320
Speaker 1: in every turn and has allowed his quarterback to do

1822
01:25:54,360 --> 01:25:57,080
Speaker 1: that as well. I just keep going back to the

1823
01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: do what I know. The contract comes up, right, you'ren

1824
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:03,559
Speaker 1: have to do the second contract long before Caleb Williams,

1825
01:26:03,640 --> 01:26:06,920
Speaker 1: Drake may or whatever else. Are you convinced that that's

1826
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:09,479
Speaker 1: the guy to go and be your leader at the

1827
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:12,840
Speaker 1: next level, because you know, in college football, the coach

1828
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:14,960
Speaker 1: is still the star, right no matter how big the

1829
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: players are. But you go to the pros, you've got

1830
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:25,840
Speaker 1: to be a leader. Like you don't get to hide.

1831
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 3: No, no, you don't. You don't get to you don't

1832
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,559
Speaker 3: get to duck and hide. You don't get to put

1833
01:26:29,560 --> 01:26:32,160
Speaker 3: it on other people. You had to own it. And

1834
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 3: you know, for Lincoln Riley, there are a few different things.

1835
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 3: To me, they would be troubling. One the issue that

1836
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:39,400
Speaker 3: he had with the reporter, because if he can't handle

1837
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 3: little stuff like that, how on earth will he ever

1838
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,880
Speaker 3: handle kind of being in the big leagues with the

1839
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:49,479
Speaker 3: big people asking hard questions and those things. So I

1840
01:26:49,520 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 3: just don't know if he's cut out for it. And

1841
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:55,600
Speaker 3: then when I look at his team, you know, and

1842
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,760
Speaker 3: I had someone point this out to me, I mean,

1843
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 3: he's one of the only guys who's had all of

1844
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 3: I mean Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks, but he hasn't been

1845
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,920
Speaker 3: able to capture a national title. So he said, what

1846
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 3: two and another one that was a finalist, and he's

1847
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 3: three three because he had Baker, he had Calamar, he

1848
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 3: had Caleb Williams, he had Jalen Hurst who was a finalist.

1849
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,600
Speaker 3: He has been able to win a national title. We

1850
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:24,160
Speaker 3: talked about it being a quarterback driven game. You've had

1851
01:27:24,280 --> 01:27:27,000
Speaker 3: three of the quarterbacks that they've recognized as best in

1852
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 3: the game and you haven't been able to do it.

1853
01:27:28,800 --> 01:27:31,240
Speaker 3: At some point, don't we need to look around and

1854
01:27:31,640 --> 01:27:34,120
Speaker 3: kind of see if he is more than just a

1855
01:27:34,160 --> 01:27:36,320
Speaker 3: great play caller, play designer.

1856
01:27:36,680 --> 01:27:38,400
Speaker 2: You're right about that. But you know, we started this

1857
01:27:38,439 --> 01:27:42,320
Speaker 2: conversation saying that Jaden Daniels wanted despite the team he

1858
01:27:42,400 --> 01:27:45,360
Speaker 2: played for. LSU had something like three losses and they're

1859
01:27:45,360 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 2: not going in when going through a big bowl game.

1860
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:50,320
Speaker 2: But then we come back and look at the USC situation.

1861
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,559
Speaker 2: They finished seven and five and the stats put up

1862
01:27:53,960 --> 01:27:57,400
Speaker 2: by Caleb with tremendous stats, and again I'm not advocating

1863
01:27:57,400 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 2: that he should have won the Heisman. But I'm with

1864
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 2: you in your corner saying not a top ten player,

1865
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 2: not a top ten guy getting a top ten consideration,

1866
01:28:06,040 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 2: That to me was kind of crazy. I mean I

1867
01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:10,120
Speaker 2: thought he would be in the top ten.

1868
01:28:10,600 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, we do, as Bucky alluded to, Andy, we do

1869
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:18,400
Speaker 1: flip that calendar really fast and burn out right. Remember

1870
01:28:18,400 --> 01:28:21,320
Speaker 1: how much we loved how the Warriors were changing the game,

1871
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,120
Speaker 1: and then eighteen months later we were tired of what

1872
01:28:24,200 --> 01:28:28,080
Speaker 1: it did because nobody could shoot outside of about four teams,

1873
01:28:28,439 --> 01:28:30,439
Speaker 1: So we certainly had that. I gotta ask you, though,

1874
01:28:30,439 --> 01:28:34,120
Speaker 1: put your pr and administrative hat on for a minute,

1875
01:28:34,120 --> 01:28:37,080
Speaker 1: Andy Furman, would you get behind the scenes and really

1876
01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:38,799
Speaker 1: kind of get after Lincoln Riley.

1877
01:28:39,960 --> 01:28:41,680
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what. Lincoln Riley's one of those

1878
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:43,519
Speaker 2: guys hasn't let his players speak to the media after

1879
01:28:43,560 --> 01:28:46,360
Speaker 2: the games. He locks them out themselves. I mean, you know,

1880
01:28:46,600 --> 01:28:48,360
Speaker 2: someone has to get a hold of this guy, be

1881
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,800
Speaker 2: at the athletic through at the or the sports information guy.

1882
01:28:50,920 --> 01:28:53,320
Speaker 2: And most of those sports information guys were intimidated by

1883
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 2: the coaches they work for or with. But the thing

1884
01:28:55,960 --> 01:28:59,200
Speaker 2: is it's not healthy for him to be that way,

1885
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 2: not healthy for the school and more than that, it

1886
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:05,439
Speaker 2: doesn't show these kids, these student athletes, I use that

1887
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:08,840
Speaker 2: term loosely. It shows then that you can get away

1888
01:29:08,840 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 2: with murdy.

1889
01:29:09,400 --> 01:29:09,479
Speaker 8: No.

1890
01:29:09,840 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 2: You have to be there, win, lose or draw face

1891
01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,280
Speaker 2: the music. And that's basically it. What do you mean

1892
01:29:16,320 --> 01:29:18,719
Speaker 2: You're not gonna open up the locker room after a loss?

1893
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:21,519
Speaker 2: Come on, really, what cave do you live in?

1894
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 1: Take your cooling down period, and then get after it

1895
01:29:24,520 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: right right. Punch a locker, have a heavy bag in there,

1896
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,320
Speaker 1: buy a couple of slam men that have the faces

1897
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: of the opposing coach down there. Whatever you need to do,

Speaker 1: big sporting events yesterday. I'll let you, guys, choose your

1915
01:30:23,960 --> 01:30:27,799
Speaker 1: own adventure. The play in tournament Lebron James and Company,

1916
01:30:27,800 --> 01:30:31,800
Speaker 1: where they've been dominant in tournament and shall we say

1917
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:35,240
Speaker 1: lackluster outside of said tournament. Everybody collects an extra five

1918
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:38,280
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars or here in Los Angeles, it's the show.

1919
01:30:38,320 --> 01:30:43,360
Speaker 1: Heyo Tani celebration seven hundred million dollars. Fellas as that

1920
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:46,000
Speaker 1: number and got floated about after all of the stuff

1921
01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:48,519
Speaker 1: with Toronto, and I called him. I bullied him back

1922
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:51,479
Speaker 1: into La guys by just saying, if he went to Toronto,

1923
01:30:51,560 --> 01:30:53,920
Speaker 1: he's not the man we claimed he was because winning

1924
01:30:53,960 --> 01:30:54,679
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.

1925
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:57,240
Speaker 2: But he said it all alone. He wanted his day

1926
01:30:57,280 --> 01:30:59,720
Speaker 2: on the West Coast. I mean that that was a

1927
01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:02,960
Speaker 2: I mean Toronto was out there that the name was

1928
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:05,519
Speaker 2: panting around. But I never thought he's gonna go to Toronto.

1929
01:31:05,720 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 2: But you know why it's gonna be really interesting right

1930
01:31:07,520 --> 01:31:10,280
Speaker 2: now because he just moves downtown. I mean from the

1931
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:11,479
Speaker 2: age right from the Angels.

1932
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:13,240
Speaker 1: You don't even need you, right, if you have a

1933
01:31:13,320 --> 01:31:16,800
Speaker 1: nice hybrid like your car, you can be you know

1934
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:17,519
Speaker 1: in the expe.

1935
01:31:19,400 --> 01:31:21,439
Speaker 3: No, we can do. No we can do to Kobe

1936
01:31:21,439 --> 01:31:25,280
Speaker 3: Bryant thing we can do the helicopter, that helicopter drop him.

1937
01:31:25,360 --> 01:31:27,120
Speaker 3: I'm trying to figure out where we're drop him at

1938
01:31:27,160 --> 01:31:29,439
Speaker 3: near Chavez Ravine, but yeah, we can.

1939
01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:30,040
Speaker 4: We can do that.

1940
01:31:30,040 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 3: We don't need to deal with the traffic, you know,

1941
01:31:32,120 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 3: but I mean where else. I mean, look, it's the

1942
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:37,720
Speaker 3: best situation, right. So you think about the Dodgers. You

1943
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:40,639
Speaker 3: just think about the multicultural fan base that the Dodgers

1944
01:31:40,680 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 3: have being able to have, oh tany you just know

1945
01:31:43,880 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 3: what it's going to look like. I mean, it's a boom.

1946
01:31:46,160 --> 01:31:48,880
Speaker 3: I think it's worth every dollar for the Dodgers, not

1947
01:31:48,960 --> 01:31:50,840
Speaker 3: only on the field in terms of how he's going

1948
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,280
Speaker 3: to play, but off the field. Look, I know he

1949
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:57,160
Speaker 3: doesn't like to talk much. He's not really a marketing, Maven.

1950
01:31:57,439 --> 01:32:01,320
Speaker 3: But what they can build around this team, it's bananas.

1951
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 3: You know.

1952
01:32:02,439 --> 01:32:04,680
Speaker 2: The only thing I'll upset about where this signing. I

1953
01:32:04,720 --> 01:32:06,760
Speaker 2: wish the Dodgers was still in Brooklyn so they could

1954
01:32:06,800 --> 01:32:09,439
Speaker 2: really go against the Yankees right now. That would be great.

1955
01:32:09,600 --> 01:32:11,679
Speaker 1: I kind of dig that. Yeah, one of the things.

1956
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:14,559
Speaker 1: You know, everybody starts getting into the financials, and obviously

1957
01:32:14,680 --> 01:32:17,400
Speaker 1: the contract has a lot of deferrals in it all

1958
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:21,000
Speaker 1: basically for him saying bring my countryman Yamamoto in please,

1959
01:32:22,160 --> 01:32:24,519
Speaker 1: or go find Dylan ce So to the White Sox

1960
01:32:25,080 --> 01:32:28,080
Speaker 1: so we'll see what the next dominoes are. But to

1961
01:32:28,160 --> 01:32:31,120
Speaker 1: my knowledge, unless I miss the headline somewhere, they haven't

1962
01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:34,840
Speaker 1: sold the uniform patch rights just yet. You're telling me

1963
01:32:34,880 --> 01:32:37,240
Speaker 1: you get at a US or a Japanese company to

1964
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:40,080
Speaker 1: basically pick up two thirds of a contract right there.

1965
01:32:41,520 --> 01:32:43,240
Speaker 3: I mean, there's so many different ways that they can

1966
01:32:43,280 --> 01:32:45,360
Speaker 3: do it. I mean, you just talk about that. You

1967
01:32:45,400 --> 01:32:48,519
Speaker 3: also talk about the deferrals. Why not defer when you

1968
01:32:48,720 --> 01:32:52,639
Speaker 3: as we talk about baseball teams being like houses, why

1969
01:32:52,720 --> 01:32:55,000
Speaker 3: not defer into when the house appreciates there you go,

1970
01:32:55,080 --> 01:32:57,920
Speaker 3: because it's only going up, it's not going down, you know,

1971
01:32:58,000 --> 01:33:00,320
Speaker 3: and so if you think about, Okay, well yeah, we

1972
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:02,720
Speaker 3: just put that off, maybe ten years, it'll have some

1973
01:33:02,800 --> 01:33:05,000
Speaker 3: more b's in front of the name, and they would

1974
01:33:05,080 --> 01:33:06,720
Speaker 3: just cash out and just pay them off, right then,

1975
01:33:07,080 --> 01:33:11,559
Speaker 3: you know, yeah, I mean it's crazy, and you're right

1976
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,040
Speaker 3: you talk about the Halves kind of getting back in

1977
01:33:14,040 --> 01:33:16,840
Speaker 3: the mix. The Yankees are tired of kind of being

1978
01:33:16,880 --> 01:33:18,960
Speaker 3: the cellar dwellers and being out the party, and so

1979
01:33:19,000 --> 01:33:22,160
Speaker 3: they gave getting major moving it want Soto, you know,

1980
01:33:22,240 --> 01:33:24,760
Speaker 3: the Dodgers always have to stay in it. And I

1981
01:33:24,800 --> 01:33:28,240
Speaker 3: know this will make small markets mad, but as how

1982
01:33:28,240 --> 01:33:30,640
Speaker 3: I should be. I want the stars on the on

1983
01:33:30,720 --> 01:33:33,200
Speaker 3: the biggest stage, on the best teams, so I can

1984
01:33:33,240 --> 01:33:36,040
Speaker 3: see them. I can't see them, and when they're smaller markets,

1985
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,800
Speaker 3: they don't put them on TV enough to do it.

1986
01:33:38,880 --> 01:33:42,000
Speaker 3: Like I'm not gonna see Otani with the Milwaukee Brewers.

1987
01:33:42,360 --> 01:33:44,320
Speaker 3: I just won't see them. I won't see them enough.

1988
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:47,360
Speaker 2: How do they heal anybody else?

1989
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Well? Yeah, mean get your MLB package, you know, like

1990
01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:53,679
Speaker 1: I've been. I had the audio one before the video

1991
01:33:53,800 --> 01:33:56,160
Speaker 1: became available, so I used to be able to listen

1992
01:33:56,200 --> 01:34:00,320
Speaker 1: to the beautiful sounds of Ed Farmer from upstate New York, York,

1993
01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:03,760
Speaker 1: Ken Harrelson, all of that stuff all the way through,

1994
01:34:04,400 --> 01:34:06,000
Speaker 1: and now all they do is have to yell at

1995
01:34:06,000 --> 01:34:10,120
Speaker 1: each other over continued losing. It's my life as a

1996
01:34:10,120 --> 01:34:13,720
Speaker 1: White Sox fan. Laugh at me as Andy Furman. Wait

1997
01:34:13,720 --> 01:34:16,840
Speaker 1: wait wait wait wait good quick question, O. Can you

1998
01:34:16,880 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: mentioned about the NBA Championship Kate? Okay, Michael Jordan, that's

1999
01:34:21,240 --> 01:34:25,160
Speaker 1: six NBA titles? Correct, Lake has win last night? Will

2000
01:34:25,160 --> 01:34:27,120
Speaker 1: this count as Lebron's fifth title?

2001
01:34:27,200 --> 01:34:27,439
Speaker 3: Now?

2002
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 1: No, no, But but they are going behind mj now right,

2003
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:32,880
Speaker 1: they are gonna sell the hell out of this because

2004
01:34:32,880 --> 01:34:37,519
Speaker 1: you saw how much and self congratulatory he was after

2005
01:34:37,600 --> 01:34:41,200
Speaker 1: winning this thing. And look they pummeled Indiana to to

2006
01:34:41,240 --> 01:34:44,040
Speaker 1: finish it off. Obviously very important, the five hundred j

2007
01:34:44,400 --> 01:34:47,840
Speaker 1: GE's nobody uh, nobody minced words about that as they

2008
01:34:47,880 --> 01:34:50,080
Speaker 1: got to Las Vegas, so I kind of big. I

2009
01:34:50,120 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 1: wish they would have brought out pirates, Steve uh and

2010
01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:56,080
Speaker 1: the whole thing like Dodgeball. Here's a chest of jewels

2011
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: and money that's brought to them at Center Court to

2012
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:04,360
Speaker 1: divvy up. But it's all a question of where it

2013
01:35:04,400 --> 01:35:06,679
Speaker 1: goes from here. But you can't tell me. He didn't

2014
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:08,760
Speaker 1: think about it. Of well, Jordan can never have this

2015
01:35:08,880 --> 01:35:11,559
Speaker 1: on the resume. Anybody that tries to deny that as

2016
01:35:11,680 --> 01:35:14,400
Speaker 1: kid themselves because it also might be the last tal

2017
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:17,360
Speaker 1: he plays for guys could very well be Yes.

2018
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:21,240
Speaker 3: Maybe maybe I will. I will say this about the NBA.

2019
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 3: It worked better than I thought it was. Sure in

2020
01:35:24,600 --> 01:35:27,200
Speaker 3: terms of the n season tournament. I know you are

2021
01:35:27,720 --> 01:35:31,680
Speaker 3: a soccer Alfaicinado. You understand all the thing and all

2022
01:35:31,720 --> 01:35:35,559
Speaker 3: the meanings behind the various cups that they always play for.

2023
01:35:36,040 --> 01:35:38,280
Speaker 4: But I heard it, so I can't take credit for it.

2024
01:35:38,280 --> 01:35:41,040
Speaker 3: But I heard Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce talk about this,

2025
01:35:41,200 --> 01:35:44,519
Speaker 3: how this in essence can be like another All Star

2026
01:35:44,560 --> 01:35:48,400
Speaker 3: weekend for the NBA. It happens three weeks before Christmas.

2027
01:35:49,439 --> 01:35:51,519
Speaker 3: They can shut it down to have all the players

2028
01:35:51,520 --> 01:35:54,720
Speaker 3: descend upon Vegas. Let everybody see that they can have

2029
01:35:54,920 --> 01:35:56,639
Speaker 3: NBA con right there.

2030
01:35:57,080 --> 01:35:58,200
Speaker 4: Do it before Christmas.

2031
01:35:58,280 --> 01:36:00,719
Speaker 3: Christmas is kind of like seen as if Fisher kickoff

2032
01:36:00,720 --> 01:36:03,200
Speaker 3: of the season, you come back in February, you have

2033
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:05,720
Speaker 3: the All Star Game, and then you have the Finals.

2034
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 3: In a way, the NBA can never compete with the

2035
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,400
Speaker 3: NFL in terms of making it where the NFL has

2036
01:36:11,479 --> 01:36:14,719
Speaker 3: stretched the calendar out where there's always a tent pole

2037
01:36:14,800 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 3: moment a month, but it certainly adds a little more

2038
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:21,880
Speaker 3: intrigue to the season because I'm surprised at how hard

2039
01:36:21,920 --> 01:36:25,200
Speaker 3: the players went at trying to win an n season tournament.

2040
01:36:25,600 --> 01:36:27,200
Speaker 2: And they should have the winner of the n season

2041
01:36:27,240 --> 01:36:30,360
Speaker 2: tournament an automatic bit to the playoffs come the end

2042
01:36:30,400 --> 01:36:30,880
Speaker 2: of the season.

2043
01:36:30,880 --> 01:36:31,320
Speaker 3: I like that.

2044
01:36:31,439 --> 01:36:33,799
Speaker 1: I like that. Yeah, there's got to be an incentive.

2045
01:36:34,280 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 4: There's a large huckdown drag out.

2046
01:36:36,400 --> 01:36:36,719
Speaker 3: Yeah.

2047
01:36:36,760 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 1: Well, but I mean you mentioned it, Bucky, the fact

2048
01:36:39,400 --> 01:36:43,719
Speaker 1: that everybody went to the wall in all their games,

2049
01:36:43,800 --> 01:36:46,439
Speaker 1: right in the group stage and all the way through,

2050
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:48,040
Speaker 1: and obviously there's.

2051
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:49,320
Speaker 2: Wouldn't you for half a million?

2052
01:36:49,400 --> 01:36:51,679
Speaker 1: Well, but that's my point, right. People always say, well,

2053
01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, they make a lot of money. It's like

2054
01:36:53,360 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 1: not everybody and even like the old rule of Montgomery

2055
01:36:56,920 --> 01:36:59,720
Speaker 1: Burns from the Simpsons, Oh you're the richest guy I know,

2056
01:37:00,200 --> 01:37:02,960
Speaker 1: and I trade it all for a little more. So,

2057
01:37:03,080 --> 01:37:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean, like, it's what another five hundred thousand dollars? Man,

2058
01:37:09,160 --> 01:37:10,840
Speaker 1: how do you get rich? You don't spend it and

2059
01:37:10,920 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 1: you keep piling it on as best you can, right,

2060
01:37:13,760 --> 01:37:16,320
Speaker 1: and for Lebron James for Anthony Davis. So it's like, ah,

2061
01:37:16,360 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 1: they don't need It's like it's not a matter of need, right,

2062
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,599
Speaker 1: Like there's pride and there's the Hey, we won this

2063
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 1: tournament that they set up, and now he could probably

2064
01:37:25,600 --> 01:37:29,400
Speaker 1: take a month off because he did the job for

2065
01:37:29,479 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: the league. He went out and they bawled out and

2066
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 1: they won. It's game twenty three, twenty four. I mean

2067
01:37:35,520 --> 01:37:39,479
Speaker 1: that game the statistically doesn't count again for the regular season,

2068
01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:42,280
Speaker 1: which again is just stupid. It's kind of like you guys,

2069
01:37:42,320 --> 01:37:44,519
Speaker 1: you know, we've been doing the schedule watching in the

2070
01:37:44,640 --> 01:37:47,280
Speaker 1: NFL and some of the dumb things we see here,

2071
01:37:47,360 --> 01:37:49,120
Speaker 1: we play you, then we have a week off, and

2072
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,599
Speaker 1: then we see each other again, especially now down down.

2073
01:37:52,479 --> 01:37:55,720
Speaker 2: The stretch doing that with servirances, right, we.

2074
01:37:55,680 --> 01:37:57,519
Speaker 1: Got a bunch of those down the stretchhe It's like,

2075
01:37:57,520 --> 01:37:59,720
Speaker 1: all right, let's put a couple of divisional games and

2076
01:38:00,240 --> 01:38:03,479
Speaker 1: sixteen and eighteen. Yeah, teams may be playing with half

2077
01:38:03,520 --> 01:38:06,840
Speaker 1: their original lineups, but yeah, let's make the division up

2078
01:38:06,880 --> 01:38:10,759
Speaker 1: for grabs down here. But again that's the other soapbox. Anyway,

2079
01:38:10,800 --> 01:38:13,400
Speaker 1: we celebrate all the money won by Lebron and Shoho

2080
01:38:13,479 --> 01:38:16,880
Speaker 1: Tani for me. I you know, I'll put out my

2081
01:38:16,920 --> 01:38:20,120
Speaker 1: spare change box here if you want to make your contributions.

2082
01:38:20,120 --> 01:38:22,559
Speaker 1: He's Andy Furman, that's Bucky Brooks. I'm by Carmen. We

2083
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,400
Speaker 1: continue with the games of week fourteen. We got four

2084
01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:28,720
Speaker 1: games left. One of them are real doozy, and I

2085
01:38:28,760 --> 01:38:31,839
Speaker 1: gotta say, guys, I like hot take nonsense and mocking

2086
01:38:31,880 --> 01:38:34,360
Speaker 1: it as best as the next one. One of the

2087
01:38:34,400 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: things I heard earlier this week, Mike Rank, is the

2088
01:38:37,520 --> 01:38:40,600
Speaker 1: dumbest thing I've ever heard, and we'll hear it dissect

2089
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: it next. Here I'm Fox Sports Radio. Can you crank

2090

2093
01:38:58,960 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 1: because you've got the sequel to that one, and I

2094
01:39:01,520 --> 01:39:03,080
Speaker 1: think he put out a third version.

2095
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:06,360
Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you, Mark, thank you.

2096
01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: You gotta get it in absolutely and it's part of

2097
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:12,600
Speaker 1: the holiday holiday holiday season. See. I keep trying to

2098
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: tell the guys, there's a ton of holiday music out there.

2099
01:39:16,040 --> 01:39:19,040
Speaker 1: We don't have to just hear Mariah Carey or everything

2100
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:22,479
Speaker 1: from motown. Like, there's a lot of stuff we can

2101
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:24,960
Speaker 1: get into as we flow. I mean we've been using

2102
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:29,240
Speaker 1: the Christopher Lee, Yeah, that Christopher Lee, Dracula, Count Dooku

2103
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,120
Speaker 1: Win the Star Wars. He had a version of Jingle

2104
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: Bells called jingle Hell on a very metal Christmas. It's terrifying,

2105
01:39:37,840 --> 01:39:40,479
Speaker 1: but you know what, it celebrates and wraps its arms

2106
01:39:40,760 --> 01:39:43,160

2108
01:39:47,560 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: kind of thing as we go through the next couple

2109
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,240
Speaker 1: of weeks, because I mean, in general, people are in

2110
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 1: a little bit better cheer unless their teams are getting

2111
01:39:53,320 --> 01:39:56,600
Speaker 1: ready to get bounced from playoff contention. But even then,

2112
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: all right, you realize long ago your fantasy team wasn't

2113

Speaker 1: point home favorite. Forty four is your total? Today is

2128
01:40:52,400 --> 01:40:55,480
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame Day. Gonna do a lot of celebrations

2129
01:40:55,520 --> 01:40:58,760
Speaker 1: on the field, with the expectation that Antonio Gates will

2130
01:40:58,760 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 1: be enshrined in Canton this coming year, but all the

2131
01:41:03,560 --> 01:41:06,800
Speaker 1: luminaries will be out. Russell Wilson coming off a bad

2132
01:41:06,840 --> 01:41:10,000
Speaker 1: performance where Sean Payton suddenly, you know, everybody goes hey,

2133
01:41:10,080 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 1: they were getting along, everything's great, and then he started saying, well,

2134
01:41:13,240 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: you know, Jerry Judy was open a lot. Didn't say

2135
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:18,800
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson's name, but it was almost like the half

2136
01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:21,280
Speaker 1: of a Spider Man meme, which like that guy or

2137
01:41:21,320 --> 01:41:23,600
Speaker 1: maybe the evil monkey from Family guy that lives in

2138
01:41:23,600 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 1: the closet and does that big point. It's kind of

2139
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,920
Speaker 1: what he did there. Not quite the Kirby Smart throwing

2140
01:41:28,960 --> 01:41:31,840
Speaker 1: the freshman linebacker under the bus, and that he did

2141
01:41:31,920 --> 01:41:35,639
Speaker 1: last week. But we move on. So we got them

2142
01:41:35,680 --> 01:41:37,960
Speaker 1: on the other side. The Chargers, they always in battled.

2143
01:41:37,960 --> 01:41:41,240
Speaker 1: Brandon Staley still unable to run the football, so trying

2144
01:41:41,240 --> 01:41:44,240
Speaker 1: to figure out whether Joshua Kelly can give him any juice.

2145
01:41:44,520 --> 01:41:47,800
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and that offense. Let's face it, second half,

2146
01:41:47,840 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 1: they're right alongside the Chiefs. Everything bogs down, guys. The

2147
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:56,800
Speaker 1: Broncos playing better defense, forcing some turnovers. Can they get

2148
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:59,200
Speaker 1: it done here on the road at so Far?

2149
01:41:59,600 --> 01:41:59,760
Speaker 3: Sure?

2150
01:41:59,800 --> 01:42:02,360
Speaker 1: Play any of folks coming in for a holiday, holiday

2151
01:42:02,400 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 1: holiday and maybe a theme park or two, and maybe

2152
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:07,000
Speaker 1: the big ride at SOFI. What do you think? Andy?

2153
01:42:07,400 --> 01:42:09,200
Speaker 2: All Right, the Chargers won last week. It was an

2154
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:13,040
Speaker 2: ugly game. They beat the Patriots six nothing, six nothing.

2155
01:42:13,120 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 2: But their defense, as you mentioned, the defense is cound improving.

2156
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,640
Speaker 2: They had five sacks, they forced to fumble. As far

2157
01:42:19,680 --> 01:42:23,879
Speaker 2: as the Broncos are concerned, Russell through three i iNTS

2158
01:42:24,960 --> 01:42:27,320
Speaker 2: last week. That was the first time he did that

2159
01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:31,640
Speaker 2: since twenty twenty two Christmas twenty twenty two, and that

2160
01:42:31,760 --> 01:42:33,639
Speaker 2: end of the five game win streak for the Broncos.

2161
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 2: I will tell you this. I think the Broncos are

2162
01:42:36,040 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 2: a better team. I really do. And I'll tell you

2163
01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:40,360
Speaker 2: why I say that, Because the Chargers can't close out

2164
01:42:40,400 --> 01:42:43,160
Speaker 2: ball games. I think the Chargers fold at the end.

2165
01:42:43,680 --> 01:42:46,040
Speaker 2: They Chargers should win, but they won't win. I think

2166
01:42:46,080 --> 01:42:48,040
Speaker 2: the Broncos win this game. And I look at the

2167
01:42:48,080 --> 01:42:52,360
Speaker 2: stats right now, Russell Wilson is having probably at least

2168
01:42:52,360 --> 01:42:55,000
Speaker 2: as good well maybe some would argue a better year

2169
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:57,479
Speaker 2: than Justin Herbert this year. Think about that.

2170
01:42:59,080 --> 01:43:01,439
Speaker 3: I mean, it's kind of crazy. I would say it

2171
01:43:01,479 --> 01:43:03,840
Speaker 3: comes down to coaching. And so for my money, I'm

2172
01:43:03,840 --> 01:43:07,679
Speaker 3: gonna take Sean Payton over Brandon Dalley. This team has

2173
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,519
Speaker 3: kind of fought its way back. They put itself in

2174
01:43:10,520 --> 01:43:13,240
Speaker 3: a position where they could still get into the postseason.

2175
01:43:13,600 --> 01:43:15,080
Speaker 3: I think they find a way to get it done

2176
01:43:15,400 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 3: against the Charges. I just don't have a lot of

2177
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:20,799
Speaker 3: confidence in the Charges find it figured out well exactly.

2178
01:43:20,840 --> 01:43:23,439
Speaker 1: That fourth quarter is always a all right, how does

2179
01:43:23,479 --> 01:43:26,599
Speaker 1: it end? What does the script say this week as

2180
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:29,600
Speaker 1: to how they'll screw this game up? I would agree wholeheartedly.

2181
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:31,559
Speaker 1: All Right, we got three games left. The big one

2182
01:43:31,600 --> 01:43:33,960
Speaker 1: is the next one, and it's got an audio drop

2183
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: that I want to use that really signifies where we're

2184
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:39,640
Speaker 1: at in our sports medium time continued, But we'll do

2185
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,639
Speaker 1: that after we talk to our guy Kevin wired here

2186
01:43:42,840 --> 01:43:45,640
Speaker 1: get an update and everything trending in the overnight, all

2187
01:43:45,680 --> 01:43:49,040
Speaker 1: those injury updates and more, celebration of seven hundred million

2188
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:50,960
Speaker 1: dollars in o Toani. What's going on, Kevin? Well, Yeah,

2189
01:43:50,960 --> 01:43:52,800
Speaker 1: it's a good time to be a Dodger fan. That's

2190
01:43:52,840 --> 01:43:56,160
Speaker 1: what baseball fans have been waiting on, is show Heyoshani,

2191
01:43:56,240 --> 01:43:58,479
Speaker 1: what he'll do? The free agent market has really been

2192
01:43:58,479 --> 01:44:01,840
Speaker 1: at a standstill because everyone just been waiting where will

2193
01:44:01,840 --> 01:44:05,439
Speaker 1: showy Otani signed. Well, he announced it yesterday as he

2194
01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: agreed to a ten year, seven hundred million dollar contract

2195
01:44:10,360 --> 01:44:14,760
Speaker 1: with the LA Dodgers. That's the richest contract in North

2196
01:44:14,800 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 1: American sports history. Now, a lot of that money has deferred,

2197
01:44:18,040 --> 01:44:21,680
Speaker 1: so the Dodgers still going to have some financial flexibility

2198
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:25,479
Speaker 1: in order to surround Hotani with some pieces in order

2199
01:44:25,520 --> 01:44:28,160
Speaker 1: to contend. The Dodgers do open next season with a

2200
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,880
Speaker 1: couple of games in South Korea against the Padres and March,

2201
01:44:30,880 --> 01:44:33,680
Speaker 1: so Otani going to get an immediate chance to showcase

2202
01:44:34,040 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 1: his talents. On the international stage. Regarding the NFL action today,

2203
01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:45,440
Speaker 1: Ian Rappaport with some updates overnight. First, regarding the Seahawks

2204
01:44:45,439 --> 01:44:48,879
Speaker 1: and Gino Smith, he is truly a game time decision.

2205
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:52,080
Speaker 1: He's questionable with a groin injury. Drew Locke prepared to start,

2206
01:44:52,080 --> 01:44:54,519
Speaker 1: and he did take most of the reps in practice

2207
01:44:54,680 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: late this week, and if Gino can go out there,

2208
01:44:57,080 --> 01:44:59,200
Speaker 1: he will, but his status is up in the air.

2209
01:44:59,240 --> 01:45:01,439
Speaker 1: As for their dual of running backs Kenneth Walker and

2210
01:45:01,520 --> 01:45:05,960
Speaker 1: zach Sharbonnay, their listen is questionable. They were full participants

2211
01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,720
Speaker 1: in Friday's practice, so that's a sign they'll both be

2212
01:45:08,760 --> 01:45:12,000
Speaker 1: out on the field today. For the Saints, Derek Carr,

2213
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,599
Speaker 1: he's gonna play today. Taysom Hill he's got a foot

2214
01:45:14,640 --> 01:45:18,160
Speaker 1: and left hand injury. He's not gonna not expected to play.

2215
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,200
Speaker 1: Chris Olave he has an illness. Will be on the

2216
01:45:21,240 --> 01:45:25,519
Speaker 1: field for New Orleans. Max Crosby telling NFL Network quote,

2217
01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:28,080
Speaker 1: if I've got a heartbeat, meaning he'll be out there

2218
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: in just about any instance today. For the Las Vegas Raiders,

2219
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:34,760
Speaker 1: Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence has been dealing with the high

2220
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:38,120
Speaker 1: ankles sprain, but is feeling better than expected. He's still

2221
01:45:38,120 --> 01:45:41,240
Speaker 1: a game time decision. He'll be evaluated by the medical

2222
01:45:41,240 --> 01:45:43,800
Speaker 1: staff this morning, but he's pushing for it to go,

2223
01:45:44,479 --> 01:45:47,080
Speaker 1: and there is a belief that Lawrence is able to

2224
01:45:47,560 --> 01:45:51,679
Speaker 1: make it happen. Last night in the NBA, the Lakers

2225
01:45:51,720 --> 01:45:54,559
Speaker 1: winning the first ever in season tournament. They beat this

2226
01:45:54,880 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers in the final in Las Vegas one

2227
01:45:57,800 --> 01:46:00,160
Speaker 1: twenty three, one oh nine by a monster game from

2228
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:03,320
Speaker 1: Anthony Davis forty one points, twenty rebounds. Lebron James named

2229
01:46:03,800 --> 01:46:08,759
Speaker 1: the tournament MVP, and in college football, the Heisman Trophy

2230
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:12,120
Speaker 1: winner of this year. Jaden Daniels of LSU, the senior

2231
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: quarterback through forty touchdown passes compared to just four interceptions,

2232
01:46:16,200 --> 01:46:19,040
Speaker 1: also ran for over eleven hundred yards and had ten

2233
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:24,559
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns. So congratulations to Jaden Daniels. Back to you guys,

2234
01:46:24,600 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 1: thanks so much, Kevin, have yourself a good day. We're

2235
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:29,160
Speaker 1: here live at the tire rack dot Com Studios, Fox

2236
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 1: Football Sunday, Mike Harmon alongside Andy Furman, Bucky Brooks. Gentlemen,

2237
01:46:34,160 --> 01:46:38,000
Speaker 1: here was a sound by leading into this huge NFC

2238
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:44,560
Speaker 1: East battle. Former NFL quarterback David Carr insert foot in

2239
01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 1: the mouth. Now.

2240
01:46:45,800 --> 01:46:50,040
Speaker 9: Clearly Jalen isn't comfortable reading through a defense in a

2241
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:52,680
Speaker 9: dropback pass scenario. Some would say he's not even good

2242
01:46:52,720 --> 01:46:54,720
Speaker 9: at it. And I think that when you look at

2243
01:46:54,720 --> 01:46:56,640
Speaker 9: this team, you have to have a serious conversation if

2244
01:46:56,680 --> 01:46:59,040
Speaker 9: you're Philly and you have to really say, is it

2245
01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,519
Speaker 9: better for us to play Marcus Mariota right now and

2246
01:47:01,600 --> 01:47:04,439
Speaker 9: let Jalen get really healthy? Because I would argue that

2247
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 9: it does not matter if you're the number one seed,

2248
01:47:06,520 --> 01:47:08,639
Speaker 9: because if the forty nine ers come into Philly again,

2249
01:47:08,920 --> 01:47:11,240
Speaker 9: I do not care if you're Nick Sirianni. This is

2250
01:47:11,240 --> 01:47:13,360
Speaker 9: the type of decision and conversation you have to have

2251
01:47:13,640 --> 01:47:16,200
Speaker 9: if you have a big picture mentality, and I think

2252
01:47:16,240 --> 01:47:18,920
Speaker 9: you can have that conversation honestly with Jalen and if

2253
01:47:18,920 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 9: you set him down. That's all Jaylan talks about is

2254
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,000
Speaker 9: the end result and getting to the super Bowl and

2255
01:47:24,040 --> 01:47:26,320
Speaker 9: winning that thing the best way we can do it.

2256
01:47:26,680 --> 01:47:29,760
Speaker 9: They didn't run the football at all with him twice.

2257
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:32,439
Speaker 9: That's not it, man, That's not the winning edge. Put

2258
01:47:32,479 --> 01:47:35,360
Speaker 9: Marcus in there, win a couple of games, you have

2259
01:47:35,400 --> 01:47:36,040
Speaker 9: the number one seed.

2260
01:47:36,080 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 4: Still you might have it.

2261
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:40,000
Speaker 9: I'd say he's probably better at playing quarterback for thevgals.

2262
01:47:40,040 --> 01:47:41,360
Speaker 4: Oh right now, right now.

2263
01:47:42,479 --> 01:47:45,160
Speaker 1: So he did a caul de sac thing. He started

2264
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:48,160
Speaker 1: with the Moriota. If I remember last year, did he

2265
01:47:48,280 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: quit on his team and walk away that he's a

2266
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:55,439
Speaker 1: better quarterback now? He did one little quick bye, let

2267
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:57,760
Speaker 1: him get healthy, and then he came all the way

2268
01:47:57,800 --> 01:48:00,679
Speaker 1: back in the col de sack to make that statement,

2269
01:48:00,720 --> 01:48:03,240
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks. You heard his colleagues laughing at him. I

2270
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,479
Speaker 1: think he would have been better spent doing a fifteen

2271
01:48:05,520 --> 01:48:10,160
Speaker 1: minute breakdown of his brothers Derek's inefficiencies in the red

2272
01:48:10,240 --> 01:48:13,040
Speaker 1: zone and the struggles that he's had because the only

2273
01:48:13,040 --> 01:48:14,880
Speaker 1: guy works in the red zone the last two years

2274
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:17,280
Speaker 1: is Matt Ryan, who's up in a TV booth. But

2275
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:20,799
Speaker 1: I digress, Bucky. As you hear that, I heard the chuckle,

2276
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:23,679
Speaker 1: my man, go go get your guy.

2277
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:27,640
Speaker 3: I I I don't know what I don't know what

2278
01:48:27,680 --> 01:48:30,840
Speaker 3: my guy's doing. I like sometimes and I get it

2279
01:48:30,880 --> 01:48:32,960
Speaker 3: because sometimes in those production meetings, like we can go

2280
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:35,240
Speaker 3: off the rails, you're trying to find a hot take, sure,

2281
01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:39,280
Speaker 3: a different take, something something that kind of grabs the viewer.

2282
01:48:40,040 --> 01:48:43,120
Speaker 4: That's not it though, Like that that's that's not it.

2283
01:48:43,240 --> 01:48:47,360
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, who just got what what what fifty million annually?

2284
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 3: We're gonna sit him down willingly, voluntarily. We will sit

2285
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,400
Speaker 3: him down to put Marcus Mariot in. Yeah, nah, that's

2286
01:48:53,400 --> 01:48:55,080
Speaker 3: not the one. That's not the heal that you die on.

2287
01:48:56,600 --> 01:48:59,200
Speaker 2: And he so happy to hear. That makes me look

2288
01:48:59,240 --> 01:49:04,360
Speaker 2: smart because people questioned me and criticized me for years.

2289
01:49:04,400 --> 01:49:06,120
Speaker 2: They have done that. But you know what, this guy's

2290
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:08,439
Speaker 2: are more on. He really is. How do you say that?

2291
01:49:08,560 --> 01:49:11,080
Speaker 2: But again, like Bucky says, sometimes you do something because

2292
01:49:11,080 --> 01:49:12,320
Speaker 2: you want to get a hot take. I'll give you

2293
01:49:12,360 --> 01:49:15,839
Speaker 2: an example. When Joe Burrow got hurt in Cincinnati, social

2294
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 2: media was white hot, white hot with I'll tell you

2295
01:49:19,240 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 2: what it was on The fans wanted the Bengals to lose.

2296
01:49:23,080 --> 01:49:25,559
Speaker 2: They wanted the dump games for a draft pick. Are

2297
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:26,679
Speaker 2: you freaking kidding?

2298
01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:26,760
Speaker 6: Me?

2299
01:49:27,040 --> 01:49:29,960
Speaker 2: And Bucky Brooks with this better than anybody else. You

2300
01:49:30,120 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 2: play the game to win, that's what you You know,

2301
01:49:33,400 --> 01:49:36,280
Speaker 2: dumb games, you don't do that. You play to win,

2302
01:49:36,520 --> 01:49:38,960
Speaker 2: no matter how bad things are, no matter how bad

2303
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:41,599
Speaker 2: things get. And for the fans to go on social

2304
01:49:41,600 --> 01:49:44,680
Speaker 2: media and there were a ton saying Okay, let's just

2305
01:49:44,760 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 2: dump it because we want to get a high draft pick.

2306
01:49:47,040 --> 01:49:49,479
Speaker 2: How ridiculous is that? And now all of a sudden

2307
01:49:50,080 --> 01:49:53,760
Speaker 2: they're in seventh Heaven, what the Jake Brownie did last week?

2308
01:49:54,040 --> 01:49:56,599
Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden they're praising the team. They

2309
01:49:56,600 --> 01:49:59,559
Speaker 2: could go back to the playoffs. It's unbelievable. Fans are

2310
01:49:59,560 --> 01:50:00,799
Speaker 2: so fick Well, it's crazy.

2311
01:50:01,120 --> 01:50:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that pendulum does swing both ways very quickly. And

2312
01:50:04,840 --> 01:50:07,680
Speaker 1: certainly when we look at you know, you mentioned the

2313
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:10,200
Speaker 1: Bengals when it comes to fans, sure, you start looking

2314
01:50:10,240 --> 01:50:13,240
Speaker 1: at the players are putting on tape. They all need

2315
01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:16,639
Speaker 1: new contracts. Right, This isn't a guarantee where you defer

2316
01:50:16,720 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 1: a ton of money for decades on end, like you

2317
01:50:19,320 --> 01:50:22,080
Speaker 1: can in baseball or the NBA. All right, let's get

2318
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:24,720
Speaker 1: to the game itself. As we look at the Cowboys

2319
01:50:24,720 --> 01:50:27,200
Speaker 1: a three and a half point favorite, Eagles coming in

2320
01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 1: fifty one and a half. I was just treated to

2321
01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 1: a replay of their earlier meeting from this year on

2322
01:50:32,600 --> 01:50:36,639
Speaker 1: NFL Network. Here, I think rumors of the Eagles demise

2323
01:50:36,680 --> 01:50:39,559
Speaker 1: have been greatly exaggerated. Part of me thinks they come

2324
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:43,519
Speaker 1: out and really really get after it here and get

2325
01:50:43,560 --> 01:50:47,000
Speaker 1: DeAndre Swift in that run game. Going once again, Andy,

2326
01:50:47,040 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 1: why don't you start with us?

2327
01:50:48,240 --> 01:50:50,960
Speaker 2: Okay, you talked about that game that was in Week nine,

2328
01:50:51,040 --> 01:50:53,160
Speaker 2: and the Eagles won that game twenty eight twenty three,

2329
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:55,599
Speaker 2: but that game was in Philadelphia. Look at the Cowboys

2330
01:50:55,640 --> 01:50:57,840
Speaker 2: for a second. Let's look at the offense. They've won

2331
01:50:57,880 --> 01:51:00,280
Speaker 2: four in a row. They've scored thirty or more points

2332
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,639
Speaker 2: in all but one of those games that they've won. Okay,

2333
01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,360
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, he had a knee injury in that game.

2334
01:51:05,479 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 2: He went seventeen to twenty three, pass for two oh seven,

2335
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:11,240
Speaker 2: had three touchdowns. You know what, Philadelphia's defense has allowed

2336
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,559
Speaker 2: six touchdowns to the forty nine ers in that game.

2337
01:51:13,600 --> 01:51:14,880
Speaker 2: But you know what they did. They went out and

2338
01:51:14,880 --> 01:51:17,840
Speaker 2: they signed the linebacker and Shaquille Leonard. I still say

2339
01:51:17,920 --> 01:51:21,479
Speaker 2: right now that the Cowboys are on a roll. Their

2340
01:51:21,520 --> 01:51:24,519
Speaker 2: offense is ridiculous right now, and the game is in Dallas,

2341
01:51:24,560 --> 01:51:26,559
Speaker 2: and I think when you get that momentum, it's like

2342
01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,240
Speaker 2: a snowball rolling down the hill. They've won four straight.

2343
01:51:29,360 --> 01:51:31,519
Speaker 2: They'll make it five today. They're going to beat the

2344
01:51:31,520 --> 01:51:33,000
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles today in Dallas.

2345
01:51:33,120 --> 01:51:35,200
Speaker 1: Not to be fair, they have beaten up and again

2346
01:51:35,360 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: my term bum slayer applies no doubt.

2347
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:39,679
Speaker 2: But you play it was on your schedule.

2348
01:51:39,720 --> 01:51:41,960
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, one hundred percent, So I take it

2349
01:51:42,000 --> 01:51:44,160
Speaker 1: all with a grain of salt because remember they played

2350
01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:48,000
Speaker 1: San Francisco and they got waxed, just like all these

2351
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:50,520
Speaker 1: other squads to have as well, Bucky.

2352
01:51:51,320 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'd just like to hear Andy as a proud American. Yeah,

2353
01:51:55,160 --> 01:51:58,760
Speaker 3: go on that nice soliloquy talking about America's team which

2354
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:03,559
Speaker 3: had a pat job Dak Prescott and those guys, because look,

2355
01:52:03,880 --> 01:52:07,120
Speaker 3: it's only fitting that we are now turning the corner

2356
01:52:07,160 --> 01:52:09,519
Speaker 3: and Dallas is coming back and they're beginning to make

2357
01:52:09,640 --> 01:52:13,000
Speaker 3: their their play for the postseason, and this is when

2358
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 3: they kind of send their resounding message at their back.

2359
01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:20,040
Speaker 3: I love it. Dak Prescott MVP candidacy goes up today

2360
01:52:20,080 --> 01:52:23,920
Speaker 3: after they have a strong, strong performance against the Philadelphia

2361
01:52:23,960 --> 01:52:25,040
Speaker 3: Eagle for the world to see.

2362
01:52:25,120 --> 01:52:25,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, the fun part.

2363
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:28,760
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, So you taken the Dallas coupboys too? Right?

2364
01:52:29,640 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, Dak crazy Well, David.

2365
01:52:32,520 --> 01:52:35,679
Speaker 1: Carr convinced me that I can't I can't back jail.

2366
01:52:35,720 --> 01:52:39,200
Speaker 3: It hurts guys, oh, because because of the injury prevents

2367
01:52:39,240 --> 01:52:41,280
Speaker 3: him from being able to read. I'll come that's what happened.

2368
01:52:41,439 --> 01:52:44,479
Speaker 1: Come on, he really sold me hard, you know, like

2369
01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:47,360
Speaker 1: my eyes haven't told me a different story forever. But

2370
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,880
Speaker 1: it will be interesting for Dallas. Right, we talk about

2371
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:52,200
Speaker 1: the schedule, We talk about where the little hiccups have been.

2372
01:52:52,400 --> 01:52:55,439
Speaker 1: The next couple of weeks, Philadelphia on the road at

2373
01:52:55,439 --> 01:52:58,799
Speaker 1: Buffalo whatever that team is at this point, at Miami,

2374
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:03,559
Speaker 1: and then a big game on Monday Night Football against

2375
01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:07,840
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions before a season finale against Washington. So

2376
01:53:07,920 --> 01:53:11,479
Speaker 1: the next four weeks, Dak Prescott currently the betting favorite

2377
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,320
Speaker 1: for MVP. Here's your chance to go win it, big boy.

2378
01:53:14,600 --> 01:53:17,400
Speaker 1: That he did a really good PSA about cancer screening

2379
01:53:17,439 --> 01:53:19,600
Speaker 1: and stuff, really funny. We can't play most of it

2380
01:53:19,640 --> 01:53:21,320
Speaker 1: here because you really got to bleep out a bunch

2381

01:55:24,680 --> 01:55:25,080

2427
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:35,600
Speaker 2: Go, shy Okay, here we go, cherry baby, Okay the

2428
01:55:35,640 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 2: pack I talked of this, this situation ohere with Bucky

2429
01:55:38,760 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 2: Brooks earlier today. Packers were two and five at one

2430
01:55:40,960 --> 01:55:43,400
Speaker 2: point in time. Now that six and six was the deal.

2431
01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,160
Speaker 2: Jordan love all of a sudden. He threw three touchdowns

2432
01:55:46,240 --> 01:55:48,280
Speaker 2: last week for the second week in a row when

2433
01:55:48,320 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 2: they beat Kansas City. It's unbelievable. So we'll see what's

2434
01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:53,640
Speaker 2: happening there. This isn't much of a game. A couple

2435
01:55:53,720 --> 01:55:56,800
Speaker 2: of storylines there, But look, Tommy DeVito. I took the

2436
01:55:56,840 --> 01:56:00,640
Speaker 2: Giants of two consecutive wins against Washington and that ten

2437
01:56:00,640 --> 01:56:03,080
Speaker 2: to seven ugly win against the Patriots. Then they got

2438
01:56:03,120 --> 01:56:04,800
Speaker 2: the bye week, so I don't think it's gonna be

2439
01:56:04,880 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 2: much of a game against green Bay. But green Bay

2440
01:56:07,720 --> 01:56:10,240
Speaker 2: basically is playing for something and the Giants are. I

2441
01:56:10,240 --> 01:56:12,040
Speaker 2: think that's a big deal, more so than may be

2442
01:56:12,200 --> 01:56:14,400
Speaker 2: talent at this time of the year when you're playing

2443
01:56:14,440 --> 01:56:14,920
Speaker 2: for something.

2444
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:17,880
Speaker 1: I will say I really enjoyed Bill Belichick squeezing that

2445
01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:21,000
Speaker 1: helmet on his head yesterday as the guest picker for

2446
01:56:21,160 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: Army Navy. You want to talk about pageantry and fandom

2447
01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:28,960
Speaker 1: and national pride, and certainly him grinning from ear to

2448
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:32,200
Speaker 1: ear with what that means to him. No Christian Watson

2449
01:56:32,600 --> 01:56:35,760
Speaker 1: for the Packers and both running backs that really haven't

2450
01:56:35,760 --> 01:56:39,240
Speaker 1: gotten off this year, Bucky, how did they make up

2451
01:56:39,240 --> 01:56:42,360
Speaker 1: for Watson's loss given he's been there a big explosive

2452
01:56:42,400 --> 01:56:44,520
Speaker 1: playmaker for him, he.

2453
01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:46,800
Speaker 3: Has been the biggest plosive playmaker. But man, they got

2454
01:56:46,840 --> 01:56:48,840
Speaker 3: a lot of young wide receivers that are playing well.

2455
01:56:49,080 --> 01:56:51,600
Speaker 3: I find it funny that the wide receivers are playing

2456
01:56:51,640 --> 01:56:54,400
Speaker 3: well with Jordan Love and not Aaron Rodgers. Maybe because

2457
01:56:54,520 --> 01:56:56,360
Speaker 3: Jordan Love decided to spend some time with how about

2458
01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:58,440
Speaker 3: that didn't yell at them all the time. And so

2459
01:56:58,560 --> 01:57:01,200
Speaker 3: now you have this young collection of our receivers, Jalen Reed,

2460
01:57:01,600 --> 01:57:05,280
Speaker 3: Romer Dobbs. You have other young guys jumping in at

2461
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:09,480
Speaker 3: tight end Luke Muskgraven and so it's coming together as

2462
01:57:09,520 --> 01:57:11,800
Speaker 3: it's always come together for the Green Bay Packers. I

2463
01:57:11,840 --> 01:57:15,040
Speaker 3: think they continue to extend it. Yeah, they extend it.

2464
01:57:15,200 --> 01:57:17,320
Speaker 3: They continue to knock off the giants. The giants are

2465
01:57:17,360 --> 01:57:21,520
Speaker 3: playing better. They do have a love for Tommy DeVito

2466
01:57:21,760 --> 01:57:23,880
Speaker 3: and his mom's chicken palm, but I don't think that's

2467
01:57:23,960 --> 01:57:24,520
Speaker 3: enough to get.

2468
01:57:24,360 --> 01:57:24,920
Speaker 2: It done again.

2469
01:57:25,640 --> 01:57:27,600
Speaker 1: I like the Jane Reid. I love that we've got

2470
01:57:27,640 --> 01:57:30,280
Speaker 1: Andy singing. I can't wait to see what's next to

2471

2477
01:57:48,560 --> 01:57:51,920
Speaker 1: here it is Titans and Dolphins. Thir team point line

2478
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:55,720
Speaker 1: on this MVP would be Tyreek Hill to a tongue

2479
01:57:55,760 --> 01:57:59,320
Speaker 1: of Iiloa. Still upright? If I told you in week

2480
01:57:59,360 --> 01:58:02,240
Speaker 1: fourteen of the year Tua and Lamar Jackson would be

2481
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:04,920
Speaker 1: two of the only quarterbacks to show up and play

2482
01:58:04,920 --> 01:58:07,400
Speaker 1: in every one of their team's games, how shocked would

2483
01:58:07,400 --> 01:58:09,720
Speaker 1: you have been? How much money would you have laid down?

2484
01:58:09,760 --> 01:58:10,400
Speaker 1: Andy Furman?

2485
01:58:11,440 --> 01:58:11,920
Speaker 4: Not much?

2486
01:58:11,960 --> 01:58:12,680
Speaker 3: Really, I don't know.

2487
01:58:13,160 --> 01:58:15,240
Speaker 2: I'm not a gambling man, and we can't talk gambling

2488
01:58:15,240 --> 01:58:17,320
Speaker 2: in front of Bucket Brooks because he's an employee of

2489
01:58:17,360 --> 01:58:18,040
Speaker 2: the National.

2490
01:58:17,760 --> 01:58:23,120
Speaker 1: Football Like that, don't tease it. I like that. No, yeah,

2491
01:58:23,120 --> 01:58:26,360
Speaker 1: he's not gonna do Fred Flintstone on me. Bet bet

2492
01:58:26,400 --> 01:58:30,280
Speaker 1: bet bet bet bet. There you go. You really showing

2493
01:58:30,360 --> 01:58:31,160
Speaker 1: my age right then.

2494
01:58:31,240 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 2: I'm really happy that there's two games on simultaneously tomorrow night,

2495
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:36,520
Speaker 2: because I know one of them. I'm definitely not gonna

2496
01:58:36,560 --> 01:58:38,840
Speaker 2: watch and that's the packers of the Giants. All right,

2497
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:41,040
Speaker 2: at least they got two. Normally I'm not happy when

2498
01:58:41,080 --> 01:58:43,839
Speaker 2: they put two together. But at least now the Titans Dolphins,

2499
01:58:43,880 --> 01:58:46,160
Speaker 2: I want to see this action pack the offense on

2500
01:58:46,240 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 2: the Miami Dolphins that go ten and three. Of course

2501
01:58:48,320 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 2: they're undefeated at home period.

2502
01:58:50,040 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 1: In the story, all right, Age Shan and Moster are

2503
01:58:52,520 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 1: getting it done. The run game and two a tongue

2504
01:58:55,240 --> 01:58:59,720
Speaker 1: of ba loa putting up some crazy numbers here, Bucky Brooks, Yeah.

2505
01:59:00,040 --> 01:59:05,640
Speaker 3: Crazy numbers. Look, the Dolphins are ready to go. I've

2506
01:59:05,680 --> 01:59:08,320
Speaker 3: talked about tybree q O being a worthy candidate for MVP.

2507
01:59:08,760 --> 01:59:11,080
Speaker 3: Now we get an opportunity to see it, because I

2508
01:59:11,120 --> 01:59:13,240
Speaker 3: can't imagine what the Titans can do to slow him down.

2509
01:59:13,320 --> 01:59:15,120
Speaker 3: If you can't slow him down, how are you gonna

2510
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,280
Speaker 3: slow the rest of the offense down? Give me the

2511
01:59:17,360 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 3: Dolphins in a romp.

2512
01:59:19,280 --> 01:59:21,680
Speaker 1: Hey ay rop. I like that. It's one of the

2513
01:59:21,680 --> 01:59:25,200
Speaker 1: great words of our English language. So much great. And

2514
01:59:25,240 --> 01:59:27,520
Speaker 1: there's only two teams on bye last week for that,

2515
01:59:27,640 --> 01:59:31,480
Speaker 1: the Commanders and the Cardinals. So for fantasy purposes, not

2516
01:59:31,600 --> 01:59:33,840
Speaker 1: a lot of holes betting you. Yeah, blasted in a

2517
01:59:33,840 --> 01:59:37,160
Speaker 1: lot of Terry McLaurin might be still running some windsprinting

2518
01:59:37,200 --> 01:59:40,280
Speaker 1: cardio like he did last week, fellas, and maybe I

2519
01:59:40,360 --> 01:59:42,839
Speaker 1: need to do that ahead of my holiday holiday holiday

2520
01:59:42,880 --> 01:59:47,360

2531
02:00:24,640 --> 02:00:26,080
Speaker 1: He does it all. What's going on, Bucky?

2532
02:00:26,960 --> 02:00:28,080
Speaker 3: What's going on? Mike? What's that?

2533
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:28,560
Speaker 8: Well?

2534
02:00:28,600 --> 02:00:30,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's another beautiful day in Paradise. I got

Speaker 1: our guy Andy Furman last hour. You know, a lot

2538
02:00:38,480 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: of excitement. We got him singing multiple times. So if

2539
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:44,120
Speaker 1: nothing else, I'm taking this day as a win right now.

2540
02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:49,120
Speaker 3: It is a win. It doesn't win, it's it's always

Speaker 4: You did have him singing.

2543
02:00:52,520 --> 02:00:54,160
Speaker 3: He was taking it back to his childhood, so that

2544
02:00:54,240 --> 02:00:54,560
Speaker 3: was fine.

2545
02:00:54,680 --> 02:00:56,720
Speaker 1: No, that's always always good, right. You know, you can

2557
02:01:34,880 --> 02:01:37,720
Speaker 1: we got some great games on the slate today. As

2558
02:01:37,720 --> 02:01:41,080
Speaker 1: we're in week fourteen of the National Football League season

2559
02:01:41,120 --> 02:01:44,400
Speaker 1: already won in the books, and it's the conversation, the

2560
02:01:44,480 --> 02:01:47,880
Speaker 1: uneasy conversation. It seems like we have it, well, we've

2561
02:01:47,920 --> 02:01:50,680
Speaker 1: had it for a number of years now when it

2562
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:54,640
Speaker 1: comes to Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers, and you know,

2563
02:01:54,720 --> 02:01:57,720
Speaker 1: at some point, you know, and I know the Rooneyes,

2564
02:01:57,800 --> 02:02:01,480
Speaker 1: and I know the organization, and I love organizational stability

2565
02:02:01,760 --> 02:02:05,480
Speaker 1: and preach it as much as anybody, Bucky, But at

2566
02:02:05,520 --> 02:02:08,960
Speaker 1: some point does it run out? Is the oil, you know,

2567
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: not there to be lit again? With a couple of

2568
02:02:12,120 --> 02:02:14,760
Speaker 1: mal contents, which he's been able to deal with in

2569
02:02:14,800 --> 02:02:17,160
Speaker 1: the past, but now you don't have the quarterback to

2570
02:02:17,240 --> 02:02:18,120
Speaker 1: solve those ills.

2571
02:02:20,800 --> 02:02:22,919
Speaker 3: I think a few different things because I think there's

2572
02:02:22,960 --> 02:02:26,360
Speaker 3: separate problems even though they both fall up under his jurisdiction.

2573
02:02:27,440 --> 02:02:29,640
Speaker 3: There are people that are complaining about the on field product.

2574
02:02:29,640 --> 02:02:32,280
Speaker 3: I'll say he's done a really good job of working

2575
02:02:32,280 --> 02:02:37,800
Speaker 3: around whatever issues they have. Personnel wise, The quarterback play

2576
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:41,360
Speaker 3: has been sketchy, offensive coordinator wasn't great, but they still

2577
02:02:42,040 --> 02:02:44,440
Speaker 3: for a long time they were top of the division

2578
02:02:44,680 --> 02:02:48,160
Speaker 3: with their offense sputtering and struggling. The issue that I

2579
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 3: have is probably the bigger issue that has kind of

2580
02:02:50,880 --> 02:02:53,080
Speaker 3: come up a couple of different times during his tenure

2581
02:02:53,120 --> 02:02:57,840
Speaker 3: has been the mal contents, and they all appear to

2582
02:02:57,880 --> 02:03:02,320
Speaker 3: be the same position, wide receiver, the divas in those things.

2583
02:03:03,600 --> 02:03:07,720
Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson is the latest to kind of not exhibit

2584
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:11,240
Speaker 3: the behavior that you want to see from franchise player.

2585
02:03:11,280 --> 02:03:14,480
Speaker 3: It got paid, was it last week? Two weeks ago?

2586
02:03:14,480 --> 02:03:17,040
Speaker 3: We didn't see him jump on a fumble. To his credit,

2587
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:18,800
Speaker 3: he said he didn't see it, but the effort wasn't there.

2588
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:21,600
Speaker 3: We seen him drop passes. He's complained about not getting

2589
02:03:21,600 --> 02:03:25,120
Speaker 3: the ball. In those things. We see George Pickens kind

2590
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:27,280
Speaker 3: of pout and whine because the ball is not going

2591
02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:31,680
Speaker 3: his way. And so like Mike, Tomlin ultimately signs off

2592
02:03:31,680 --> 02:03:34,200
Speaker 3: on when they take all these players, but there's something

2593
02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:37,880
Speaker 3: that's just not right about what they're bringing in because

2594
02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:40,200
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh still is for the longest time, were known

2595
02:03:40,240 --> 02:03:41,560
Speaker 3: as blue.

2596
02:03:41,240 --> 02:03:44,120
Speaker 4: Collar, hard nose, not a lot of fanfare.

2597
02:03:44,200 --> 02:03:47,760
Speaker 3: I feel like the fanfare didn't really come until the

2598
02:03:48,080 --> 02:03:52,280
Speaker 3: Antonio Brown era, and now they're stuck with those kinds

2599
02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:55,200
Speaker 3: of players because before you didn't really have that kind

2600
02:03:55,200 --> 02:04:01,200
Speaker 3: of player donning the black and goal and so it's different.

2601
02:04:01,240 --> 02:04:02,600
Speaker 3: I think he has to get that part of it

2602
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:06,880
Speaker 3: under control because culturally it seems like they're spiraling, and

2603
02:04:06,920 --> 02:04:09,440
Speaker 3: if the cultural spirals didn ultimately the on field product

2604
02:04:09,480 --> 02:04:10,760
Speaker 3: will also be impacted by that.

2605
02:04:10,880 --> 02:04:13,560
Speaker 1: But even Antonio Brown, remember he came in as a

2606
02:04:13,600 --> 02:04:17,120
Speaker 1: low round draft pick, a worker, grinding. I remember going

2607
02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:20,800
Speaker 1: to training camp and having my guys tonch Chilkin rest

2608
02:04:20,840 --> 02:04:23,560
Speaker 1: in peace. He was a good good man, and Craig

2609
02:04:23,560 --> 02:04:25,800
Speaker 1: Wolfley and they're like, watch this kid's feet. And that

2610
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:27,960
Speaker 1: was the year, you know, Mike Wallace was coming into

2611
02:04:28,080 --> 02:04:30,400
Speaker 1: and everybody was looking at him. It's like, just watch

2612
02:04:30,640 --> 02:04:34,840
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown work. And you know, whatever the rest of

2613
02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:37,680
Speaker 1: it was, you could always say that the guy, you know,

2614
02:04:37,760 --> 02:04:41,000
Speaker 1: in between the white lines was busting it most of

2615
02:04:41,040 --> 02:04:44,320
Speaker 1: the time until those final things where we're trying to

2616
02:04:44,320 --> 02:04:46,480
Speaker 1: figure out what was going on in those final stops

2617
02:04:46,480 --> 02:04:49,320
Speaker 1: of his career. But I guess it's just the point

2618
02:04:49,320 --> 02:04:52,600
Speaker 1: of and I appreciate the streak of, you know, consecutive

2619
02:04:52,640 --> 02:04:56,200
Speaker 1: winning seasons. At some point is that enough?

2620
02:04:58,200 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 3: I mean, at some point you got to win. I mean,

2621
02:05:01,480 --> 02:05:03,360
Speaker 3: you want to win at a higher level. The funny

2622
02:05:03,360 --> 02:05:06,760
Speaker 3: thing is his record right now is identical to Bill

2623
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:10,320
Speaker 3: Cower's record through the same deal, like identical all the

2624
02:05:10,360 --> 02:05:14,320
Speaker 3: way through. And like when you have these long tenured coaches,

2625
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:17,000
Speaker 3: you have a tendency to go through these lulls. And

2626
02:05:17,080 --> 02:05:20,360
Speaker 3: so what if you're a Pittsburgh if you're a Pittsburgh fan,

2627
02:05:20,840 --> 02:05:24,600
Speaker 3: what you have to figure out or determine are you

2628
02:05:24,640 --> 02:05:28,800
Speaker 3: willing to throw away what you know and hopes something

2629
02:05:29,400 --> 02:05:31,880
Speaker 3: sure that may not be as good, maybe it's better,

2630
02:05:32,320 --> 02:05:35,000
Speaker 3: but you just don't know. Because every year we see

2631
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:38,160
Speaker 3: seven to eight coaches fired, right, and that cycle goes

2632
02:05:38,200 --> 02:05:40,680
Speaker 3: on every two to three years, there be six or

2633
02:05:40,680 --> 02:05:44,640
Speaker 3: seven higher this year, and two to three years, five

2634
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:48,200
Speaker 3: of those six or seven will be fired. And for

2635
02:05:48,280 --> 02:05:51,520
Speaker 3: an organization that prizes itself on stability, that's not really

2636
02:05:51,560 --> 02:05:55,280
Speaker 3: the way that the Steelers get down. And you know,

2637
02:05:55,400 --> 02:05:57,120
Speaker 3: it just goes at the same time, when the Patriots

2638
02:05:57,120 --> 02:05:59,560
Speaker 3: are ready to move on from Bill Belichick, it appears

2639
02:06:00,680 --> 02:06:02,520
Speaker 3: all of those things. I think it's hard to win.

2640
02:06:03,320 --> 02:06:03,840
Speaker 10: I just.

2641
02:06:05,560 --> 02:06:08,840
Speaker 3: I would tend to go slower before I would dump

2642
02:06:09,160 --> 02:06:12,920
Speaker 3: Tomlin and even Belichick, because just because.

2643
02:06:12,640 --> 02:06:14,880
Speaker 4: You change doesn't mean that it's going to be for

2644
02:06:14,960 --> 02:06:15,280
Speaker 4: the better.

2645
02:06:15,400 --> 02:06:18,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's more just the questioning right of you know

2646
02:06:18,480 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 1: what constitutes greatness and moving forward? Right? Because it would

2647
02:06:24,520 --> 02:06:27,520
Speaker 1: you would you rather be, I guess to grab baseball

2648
02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: in for a moment. Would you rather be a Marlins

2649
02:06:29,720 --> 02:06:33,800
Speaker 1: fan where it's build it up, win World Series, tear

2650
02:06:33,840 --> 02:06:36,040
Speaker 1: it down, knowing the next half decade or so is

2651
02:06:36,080 --> 02:06:39,280
Speaker 1: going to be terrible versus we're good enough to get

2652
02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:43,320
Speaker 1: and be in the playoff contention, maybe get in, but

2653
02:06:43,640 --> 02:06:46,240
Speaker 1: we haven't been able to get over right? Is it

2654
02:06:46,280 --> 02:06:48,360
Speaker 1: good enough to be in the hunt every year? I

2655
02:06:48,400 --> 02:06:51,280
Speaker 1: guess that's, you know, not only for fandom, but certainly

2656
02:06:51,360 --> 02:06:54,480
Speaker 1: for an organization. Because I've said it long. You know,

2657
02:06:54,520 --> 02:06:56,880
Speaker 1: you brought up Belichick, and I guess that's it was

2658
02:06:56,880 --> 02:06:59,920
Speaker 1: only appropriate that they played each other on Thursday night

2659
02:07:00,160 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: to kick off this week, Bucky, especially when you had

2660
02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:06,400
Speaker 1: the graphic since you were going to put any player

2661
02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:09,000
Speaker 1: up for New England to promote it. It was a

2662
02:07:09,040 --> 02:07:13,520
Speaker 1: graphic of Bill Belichick and TJ is so great. See

2663
02:07:13,560 --> 02:07:15,280
Speaker 1: it seems like you should have had Tomlin on the

2664
02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:17,360
Speaker 1: other side, but that's fine. It was TJ Watt. And

2665
02:07:17,400 --> 02:07:20,520
Speaker 1: now they're under fire for concussion protocols like so many

2666
02:07:20,520 --> 02:07:23,560
Speaker 1: teams have been before. But for the Belichick thing, it's like,

2667
02:07:23,640 --> 02:07:25,840
Speaker 1: I'll let you coach, I'm just not letting you pick

2668
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:29,040
Speaker 1: the groceries anymore. We just need to change up, you know,

2669
02:07:29,080 --> 02:07:33,480
Speaker 1: whatever's going on in that room, because that's been a problem.

2670
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:37,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. To me, that is an easier fix, right, like

2671
02:07:37,400 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 3: the Belichick thing, because there are a number of his

2672
02:07:40,560 --> 02:07:43,560
Speaker 3: guys that are out there, for instance, Thomas Demetrov, who

2673
02:07:43,560 --> 02:07:46,600
Speaker 3: was general manager for the Atlanta Falcons for years. It's

2674
02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:49,120
Speaker 3: been a significant amount of time in New England. To me,

2675
02:07:49,240 --> 02:07:50,920
Speaker 3: that would be an easy fall call to see if

2676
02:07:50,960 --> 02:07:54,640
Speaker 3: TD wanted to come back and rejoin the Patriots and

2677
02:07:54,680 --> 02:07:58,640
Speaker 3: give him an elevated title and more power with the

2678
02:07:58,680 --> 02:08:02,080
Speaker 3: greatest coach that we've seen. That's an easy fix. The

2679
02:08:02,080 --> 02:08:06,480
Speaker 3: Tomlin thing is it makes because you have a general

2680
02:08:06,480 --> 02:08:11,440
Speaker 3: manager in place in Omar Omar Khan, who was hired

2681
02:08:11,920 --> 02:08:15,040
Speaker 3: after obviously after Mike Tomlin. You don't know how the

2682
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:18,840
Speaker 3: power is split in terms of who has final roster, say,

2683
02:08:19,520 --> 02:08:22,720
Speaker 3: and those things. You have that, but if you do

2684
02:08:22,840 --> 02:08:26,680
Speaker 3: see that Tomlin has more of that power, and you

2685
02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:29,520
Speaker 3: know the product is changing in terms of like what

2686
02:08:29,560 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 3: you're getting on the field, the type of guys that

2687
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:36,680
Speaker 3: you're having around, Well, maybe you tweak that a little bit.

2688
02:08:37,960 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 3: To me, it's more of a personnel acquisition piece that

2689
02:08:42,440 --> 02:08:45,520
Speaker 3: needs to be figured out as opposed to a personnel

2690
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:47,560
Speaker 3: development piece, because I think he does a good job

2691
02:08:47,600 --> 02:08:50,760
Speaker 3: with the talent when he coaches it and develops it.

2692
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:52,280
Speaker 3: It's just that I don't know if they bring in

2693
02:08:52,320 --> 02:08:55,600
Speaker 3: the right kind of people into the organization to get

2694
02:08:55,600 --> 02:08:56,320
Speaker 3: them over the top.

2695
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:59,600
Speaker 1: Now con becan the general manager in twenty twenty two,

2696
02:09:00,080 --> 02:09:03,120
Speaker 1: round as a vice president of football and business admin

2697
02:09:03,240 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 1: for about six years before that, before that a director

2698
02:09:06,640 --> 02:09:10,280
Speaker 1: of football administration. So been in the building a long time.

2699
02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:12,800
Speaker 1: And now it's just philosophically where you had and look,

2700
02:09:12,800 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 1: it all begins and ends with quarterback play. Let's I mean,

2701
02:09:16,120 --> 02:09:18,040
Speaker 1: let's call it what it is, because it's a big

2702
02:09:18,120 --> 02:09:21,680
Speaker 1: question for your squad that you work with. The Jacksonville

2703
02:09:21,760 --> 02:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars today where everybody thought that Trevor Lawrence's leg was

2704
02:09:26,120 --> 02:09:29,920
Speaker 1: falling off question whether you know, we talked about it

2705
02:09:29,960 --> 02:09:32,440
Speaker 1: as it was happening. Smith and I on our show

2706
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:36,800
Speaker 1: Bucky of Where's the cart and I argue, okay, probably

2707
02:09:37,760 --> 02:09:38,760
Speaker 1: he didn't want a cart.

2708
02:09:39,320 --> 02:09:42,720
Speaker 3: No, So there were some of that so just let

2709
02:09:42,720 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 3: me give you a little logistical information on what happened.

2710
02:09:46,520 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 3: So where Trevor Lawrence got hurt. I think the ball

2711
02:09:48,440 --> 02:09:52,280
Speaker 3: was right around the thirty yard line on the far

2712
02:09:52,480 --> 02:09:55,560
Speaker 3: end of the field. So there are two tunnels, actually

2713
02:09:55,600 --> 02:09:58,480
Speaker 3: there are three tunnels in Jacksonville. There're two on the

2714
02:09:58,520 --> 02:10:01,879
Speaker 3: home side, so there was one near where Trevor got hurt.

2715
02:10:02,040 --> 02:10:03,960
Speaker 3: And then the tunnel that you always see the team

2716
02:10:04,040 --> 02:10:06,400
Speaker 3: run out of is on the thirty yard line down

2717
02:10:06,400 --> 02:10:09,960
Speaker 3: on the other end. What people don't know is the

2718
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:12,520
Speaker 3: tunnel that is down near where Trevor was hurt, where

2719
02:10:12,520 --> 02:10:15,880
Speaker 3: he walked up in that is actually the one that's

2720
02:10:16,040 --> 02:10:21,280
Speaker 3: closer to the locker rooms. And so he was walking

2721
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:23,600
Speaker 3: up in the tunnel while the cart was coming from

2722
02:10:23,640 --> 02:10:26,760
Speaker 3: the long way, because the cart whizzed by him as

2723
02:10:26,760 --> 02:10:27,440
Speaker 3: he was going.

2724
02:10:27,320 --> 02:10:29,560
Speaker 4: Up in the tunnel. But Trevor, trying.

2725
02:10:29,360 --> 02:10:31,800
Speaker 3: To be John Wayne, was like, I got it, I'm

2726
02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:35,640
Speaker 3: gonna walk off, he said. He didn't realize later how

2727
02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:39,080
Speaker 3: far the tunnel was, and that's what happened. But there

2728
02:10:39,120 --> 02:10:41,520
Speaker 3: was a tunnel that was ready, there was a there

2729
02:10:41,560 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 3: was a cart that was ready for him. He just

2730
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:47,360
Speaker 3: decided to go up in the wrong the other tunnel

2731
02:10:47,360 --> 02:10:49,840
Speaker 3: as opposed to the tunnel where the cart was coming from,

2732
02:10:50,120 --> 02:10:51,280
Speaker 3: and it was too late for the.

2733
02:10:51,680 --> 02:10:54,200
Speaker 4: Car to get there. He had already disappeared.

2734
02:10:54,880 --> 02:10:59,760
Speaker 1: Yeah to the doggy door. You know, did a w

2735
02:11:00,040 --> 02:11:02,280
Speaker 1: steal the cart for one of their events? You know

2736
02:11:02,640 --> 02:11:05,120
Speaker 1: all of those jos that rolled through it, right, did

2737
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:10,320
Speaker 1: Tony say, hey, Dad, I need the cart this week and.

2738
02:11:09,280 --> 02:11:12,640
Speaker 3: Didn't tell anybody, tell anybody that, hey, they won't miss

2739
02:11:12,640 --> 02:11:15,640
Speaker 3: the cart. I'll just take it in. You know that

2740
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:17,400
Speaker 3: my guys use it.

2741
02:11:17,560 --> 02:11:21,320
Speaker 1: So the curiosity though, the injury happens, and you know

2742
02:11:21,480 --> 02:11:24,600
Speaker 1: we're watching it, and you've got six hundred plus pounds

2743
02:11:24,640 --> 02:11:27,720
Speaker 1: falling into his leg. And I'll give Dan Byer some

2744
02:11:27,800 --> 02:11:30,520
Speaker 1: credit here, as we've seen Trevor back at the podium

2745
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:33,800
Speaker 1: without a brace and walking around back at practice. He goes.

2746
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:36,520
Speaker 1: I think he was more. It was more the spikes

2747
02:11:36,840 --> 02:11:38,960
Speaker 1: that got him than than the injury. Even though the

2748
02:11:39,040 --> 02:11:42,800
Speaker 1: leg bent in an awkward position. You know immediately you're

2749
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:45,560
Speaker 1: just like, oh, no, there there goes my super Bowl

2750
02:11:45,600 --> 02:11:49,440
Speaker 1: pick there, Bucky. But I brought up Nathan Rourke earlier

2751
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:53,120
Speaker 1: because he got activated. But it looks like Trevor's gonna

2752
02:11:53,120 --> 02:11:56,600
Speaker 1: give it the old college. Try here and get himself

2753
02:11:56,640 --> 02:12:00,800
Speaker 1: out there. Mobility wise, everything check out the practices.

2754
02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:05,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, everything surprisingly right. So here's the second. It's the

2755
02:12:06,040 --> 02:12:10,040
Speaker 3: second time this season that Trevor Lawrence had to do

2756
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:12,680
Speaker 3: with an injury that made him a game time decision.

2757
02:12:12,760 --> 02:12:16,400
Speaker 3: He dealt with it first New Orleans. People didn't know

2758
02:12:16,440 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 3: if he was going to play the New Orleans game.

2759
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Hurt his knee against the Indianapolis Colts, didn't practice at

2760
02:12:21,120 --> 02:12:23,400
Speaker 3: all that week. It was gonna be touch and go

2761
02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:27,800
Speaker 3: up into game time, goes out, he warms up a

2762
02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:30,840
Speaker 3: little bit, does his thing and plays and I would

2763
02:12:30,840 --> 02:12:36,040
Speaker 3: say had one of his best games. Surprisingly this week,

2764
02:12:36,120 --> 02:12:38,440
Speaker 3: he went to practice, he showed up, he played more,

2765
02:12:38,560 --> 02:12:40,600
Speaker 3: He did all those things that you want to see

2766
02:12:40,600 --> 02:12:43,720
Speaker 3: from your quarterback, and everyone is optimistic that he's going

2767
02:12:43,760 --> 02:12:44,200
Speaker 3: to play.

2768
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:46,000
Speaker 4: Here's what I say that Trevor.

2769
02:12:45,720 --> 02:12:50,960
Speaker 3: Has learned and he gets at a macro level, the

2770
02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:55,160
Speaker 3: franchise quarterback always has to show up. The franchise quarterback

2771
02:12:55,200 --> 02:12:58,480
Speaker 3: is expected to be there every Sunday. You think about

2772
02:12:58,520 --> 02:13:01,600
Speaker 3: the Peyton Mannings, the Tom Brady of the world, Eli Manning,

2773
02:13:01,880 --> 02:13:08,200
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers. No matter what happens, the captain

2774
02:13:08,240 --> 02:13:11,000
Speaker 3: has to go down with the ship. And Trevor Lawrence

2775
02:13:11,040 --> 02:13:15,360
Speaker 3: has adopted that mentality that if they're playing, I'm playing.

2776
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:17,920
Speaker 3: I think he has a streak and maybe I think

2777
02:13:18,040 --> 02:13:21,560
Speaker 3: maybe forty seven forty eight straight starts. It's something that

2778
02:13:21,600 --> 02:13:25,200
Speaker 3: means it's something that means a lot to him because

2779
02:13:25,200 --> 02:13:28,760
Speaker 3: of the Eli Peyton thing. You always show up, and

2780
02:13:28,840 --> 02:13:31,760
Speaker 3: so if he can show up and play, he's going

2781
02:13:31,840 --> 02:13:35,760
Speaker 3: to play, even if he's compromised a little bit. So

2782
02:13:35,800 --> 02:13:39,040
Speaker 3: I give him credit for that. Even though I was like, Okay,

2783
02:13:40,320 --> 02:13:42,520
Speaker 3: the Jags fan of me is okay, you got the

2784
02:13:42,520 --> 02:13:47,000
Speaker 3: Browns next week. You have Baltimore on Sunday night. If

2785
02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:49,800
Speaker 3: you rest him and then he comes back fully healthy,

2786
02:13:50,240 --> 02:13:53,040
Speaker 3: maybe you drop a game to fall back into a

2787
02:13:53,080 --> 02:13:56,440
Speaker 3: tie if you lose, but he'll be there for the

2788
02:13:56,440 --> 02:13:58,760
Speaker 3: Sunday night game against the Ravens. That's one that really

2789
02:13:58,800 --> 02:14:03,120
Speaker 3: really matters in those things. But that's why fans think

2790
02:14:03,240 --> 02:14:06,400
Speaker 3: like I was thinking. Players and coaches don't think like

2791
02:14:06,400 --> 02:14:08,280
Speaker 3: that because this game is important because if they're able

2792
02:14:08,280 --> 02:14:10,360
Speaker 3: to win this game, they can maintain the lead and

2793
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:13,160
Speaker 3: it gives them an opportunity to in my mind, they

2794
02:14:13,160 --> 02:14:15,040
Speaker 3: get to win four out of five to get a

2795
02:14:15,040 --> 02:14:17,560
Speaker 3: solid seeding, because that'll put them at twelve and five.

2796
02:14:17,760 --> 02:14:18,880
Speaker 4: If they win four out of five.

2797
02:14:18,760 --> 02:14:21,120
Speaker 3: Five or five thirteen, who knows what the number one

2798
02:14:21,160 --> 02:14:21,960
Speaker 3: seed will look like.

2799
02:14:22,120 --> 02:14:24,200
Speaker 4: So that's what they're shooting for.

2800
02:14:24,360 --> 02:14:27,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's it, right, and running a bit of a gauntlet.

2801
02:14:27,160 --> 02:14:32,080
Speaker 1: Obviously that game against Cincinnati, the Jake Browning Party as

2802
02:14:32,080 --> 02:14:36,280
Speaker 1: it were, you know, has the monster game operational efficiency.

2803
02:14:36,600 --> 02:14:40,360
Speaker 1: Joe Mixon, who I think barely fell forward, like literally

2804
02:14:40,640 --> 02:14:43,360
Speaker 1: if he did the old Rick Flair fall forward thing

2805
02:14:43,560 --> 02:14:46,440
Speaker 1: because he's six feet tall, right, because he averaged two

2806
02:14:46,520 --> 02:14:49,400
Speaker 1: yards of carry the week before, So yeah, that's literally

2807
02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:52,600
Speaker 1: just falling forward. But has himself a big game. But

2808
02:14:52,680 --> 02:14:55,400
Speaker 1: now you have this stretch and Baltimore is still one

2809
02:14:55,440 --> 02:14:58,200
Speaker 1: of those squads keeping an eye on what's going on.

2810
02:14:58,280 --> 02:15:01,680
Speaker 1: There a lot of illness across the National Football League

2811
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:05,400
Speaker 1: this week, affecting a lot of locker rooms, so I'm

2812
02:15:05,440 --> 02:15:07,560
Speaker 1: curious for some of that. And we also have some

2813
02:15:07,640 --> 02:15:10,320
Speaker 1: weather to deal with across the nation today, Bucky, but

02:16:03,600 --> 02:16:07,360
Speaker 1: League action on the pitch already on my televisions here

2831
02:16:07,400 --> 02:16:10,520
Speaker 1: in the Fox Sports Radio Studios. I've got some World

2832
02:16:10,640 --> 02:16:15,040
Speaker 1: Tour golfing and then some guys trying to sell me

2833
02:16:15,120 --> 02:16:18,280
Speaker 1: cars or something. It's kind of a very eclectic mix

2834
02:16:18,800 --> 02:16:19,960
Speaker 1: to get my day started.

2835
02:16:21,400 --> 02:16:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, look, it's a nice nice way to start today.

2836
02:16:23,640 --> 02:16:27,840
Speaker 3: You got games upon games upon games. The Premier league

2837
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:30,400
Speaker 3: thing has always been your thing. Soccer ball is bouncing

2838
02:16:30,480 --> 02:16:33,680
Speaker 3: around you being one of the biggest fans out there.

2839
02:16:33,959 --> 02:16:35,280
Speaker 4: So that's a great little start.

2840
02:16:35,320 --> 02:16:38,800
Speaker 3: Did you transition from football to American football where you

2841
02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:42,400
Speaker 3: get a chance to watch your teams kind of do

2842
02:16:42,520 --> 02:16:45,720
Speaker 3: it your Super Bowl picks? See if they come to

2843
02:16:45,720 --> 02:16:47,440
Speaker 3: fruition the Jaguars in particular.

2844
02:16:47,560 --> 02:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right, your squad. You got to rally them

2845
02:16:49,840 --> 02:16:50,760
Speaker 1: up for me. Give them a.

2846
02:16:50,680 --> 02:16:53,680
Speaker 3: Speech, yeah, give them, give them, give them, give them

2847
02:16:53,680 --> 02:16:55,600
Speaker 3: a little speech as they go to the dog pound.

2848
02:16:55,879 --> 02:16:57,920
Speaker 3: And so get a chance to see that, and then

2849
02:16:58,600 --> 02:17:00,520
Speaker 3: you know, you got to continue. You need to do

2850
02:17:00,600 --> 02:17:04,680
Speaker 3: your evaluation on Justin Fields because never have I heard

2851
02:17:05,240 --> 02:17:09,000
Speaker 3: about a quarterback being subject to as many evaluations, as

2852
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:14,880
Speaker 3: many ongoing evaluations as feels. But that is the life

2853
02:17:14,879 --> 02:17:17,840
Speaker 3: that we've chosen when it comes to the quarterback and

2854
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:20,120
Speaker 3: what we want from the quarterback. And so we will

2855
02:17:20,360 --> 02:17:23,760
Speaker 3: have to look at Justin Fields versus the mythical figure

2856
02:17:23,840 --> 02:17:27,200
Speaker 3: that is Caleb Williams or Drake May because that's what

2857
02:17:27,280 --> 02:17:30,440
Speaker 3: the comparison is. That's what it will be, and we'll

2858
02:17:30,440 --> 02:17:32,360
Speaker 3: get a chance to see what the Chicago Bears want

2859
02:17:32,360 --> 02:17:34,840
Speaker 3: to do with it if they continue to hold on

2860
02:17:34,879 --> 02:17:36,720
Speaker 3: to the spot at the top of the board.

2861
02:17:36,800 --> 02:17:39,320
Speaker 1: Well, and that's the beauty of it, right is as

2862
02:17:39,360 --> 02:17:42,000
Speaker 1: Mark is nodding along wearing his Bears hat and our

2863
02:17:42,040 --> 02:17:45,640
Speaker 1: technical producer and you've got Shay, You've got to deal

2864
02:17:45,680 --> 02:17:47,280
Speaker 1: with him because he's a Browns fan.

2865
02:17:47,920 --> 02:17:50,760
Speaker 3: So he told me he's trying to get some he's

2866
02:17:50,760 --> 02:17:53,080
Speaker 3: trying to get some some insider information on whether to

2867
02:17:53,160 --> 02:17:56,920
Speaker 3: start Trevor Lawrence or Jake Browning, the Great, the Great

2868
02:17:57,000 --> 02:17:59,080
Speaker 3: Jake Browning as I like to refer to him now

2869
02:18:00,160 --> 02:18:01,680
Speaker 3: going up again. Whenever He'll have.

Speaker 3: wear the Bengals.

2878
02:18:24,959 --> 02:18:26,440
Speaker 1: How sweet did they'll be able to go?

2879
02:18:26,840 --> 02:18:27,040

02:18:39,680 --> 02:18:40,760
Speaker 11: place because.

2886
02:18:40,480 --> 02:18:41,959
Speaker 3: He has money to be made there.

2893
02:19:08,640 --> 02:19:11,439
Speaker 1: of shit. I know those aren't as plentiful, but certainly

2894
02:19:11,760 --> 02:19:15,400
Speaker 1: the market has been made. And look a guy trying

2895
02:19:15,440 --> 02:19:18,320
Speaker 1: to make his case for whether he stays a backup

2896
02:19:18,360 --> 02:19:21,720
Speaker 1: there or becomes an asset for someone else. Talking about

2897
02:19:21,760 --> 02:19:25,440
Speaker 1: the quarterback shuffled, the Justin Fields thing is interesting. When

2898
02:19:25,520 --> 02:19:28,080
Speaker 1: last we saw him as a win against Minnesota, but

2899
02:19:28,200 --> 02:19:32,920
Speaker 1: let's face it, that game was it was aesthetically as

2900
02:19:33,040 --> 02:19:36,200
Speaker 1: unappealing a game as we've seen in recent memory. Bucky,

2901
02:19:36,879 --> 02:19:39,119
Speaker 1: I celebrate all to seventy two of them. That may

2902
02:19:39,200 --> 02:19:42,120
Speaker 1: rank two seventy two of all the games that I've

2903
02:19:42,160 --> 02:19:45,240
Speaker 1: watched this year, but it is always the shiny thing

2904
02:19:45,320 --> 02:19:47,800
Speaker 1: behind door number two right. Like we were talking about

2905
02:19:47,800 --> 02:19:50,560
Speaker 1: with coaches before, it's always get this guy out of here.

2906
02:19:50,600 --> 02:19:52,720
Speaker 1: It's like, okay, go look at the landscape and see

2907
02:19:52,760 --> 02:19:56,039
Speaker 1: what you got, right, would you rather start over? Because

2908
02:19:56,080 --> 02:19:59,000
Speaker 1: the Bears, it's not just about justin fields right to

2909
02:19:59,040 --> 02:20:02,200
Speaker 1: make it about them a moment, it's also are you

2910
02:20:02,360 --> 02:20:06,000
Speaker 1: staying with what's in place? Luke getsy? Is he your

2911
02:20:06,040 --> 02:20:09,360
Speaker 1: guy going more? We know the Bears don't fire people,

2912
02:20:09,879 --> 02:20:12,959
Speaker 1: just like you know when everybody keeps putting new guys

2913
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:16,720
Speaker 1: in a Chargers hat to coach, No, odd, they're not

2914
02:20:16,760 --> 02:20:20,520
Speaker 1: giving any money. Oh no, we're not just going away.

2915
02:20:21,400 --> 02:20:22,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're not paying.

2916
02:20:22,160 --> 02:20:23,080
Speaker 4: You just to sit around.

2917
02:20:23,320 --> 02:20:24,400
Speaker 3: Oh no, that does not.

2918
02:20:24,480 --> 02:20:28,119
Speaker 1: There's no nil collective paying off seventy eight million dollars

2919
02:20:28,520 --> 02:20:30,879
Speaker 1: like Jimbo Fisher or any of these other things.

2920
02:20:31,680 --> 02:20:34,360
Speaker 3: Nope, that is not happening. You have to work for

2921
02:20:34,560 --> 02:20:35,240
Speaker 3: doing something.

2922
02:20:36,360 --> 02:20:43,280
Speaker 8: There's something around the building third deck yesso, Yeah, like

2923
02:20:43,360 --> 02:20:45,200
Speaker 8: that's that's not And I see, and I think that's

2924
02:20:45,200 --> 02:20:48,240
Speaker 8: what people have to understand with your favorite franchise.

2925
02:20:48,280 --> 02:20:50,280
Speaker 3: To Bears, that's a mom and pop thing. That is

2926
02:20:50,320 --> 02:20:53,400
Speaker 3: the family business. The Chargers, that's a mom and pop thing.

2927
02:20:53,440 --> 02:20:57,240
Speaker 3: They don't have millions upon millions upon millions up under

2928
02:20:57,280 --> 02:21:01,440
Speaker 3: the mattress that they can just throw away because the

2929
02:21:01,560 --> 02:21:06,039
Speaker 3: wealth actually was derived from the franchise appreciating, not because

2930
02:21:06,080 --> 02:21:11,959
Speaker 3: of any famous business dealings that have made them uber rich.

2931
02:21:12,560 --> 02:21:14,959
Speaker 1: Right. I mean, it's not a temper situation where you

2932
02:21:15,040 --> 02:21:18,800
Speaker 1: just say screw it. I can be short tempered.

2933
02:21:19,320 --> 02:21:21,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll fire everybody all the time.

2934
02:21:21,680 --> 02:21:23,920
Speaker 1: How about that, Like we talked about it last week.

2935
02:21:23,959 --> 02:21:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's really boy. I tell you, I know

2936
02:21:27,280 --> 02:21:29,720
Speaker 1: you want to be one of thirty two, but I

2937
02:21:29,760 --> 02:21:31,320
Speaker 1: think that's got to be the all Right, I get

2938
02:21:31,320 --> 02:21:33,280
Speaker 1: a mull again, and nobody's holding it against me when

2939
02:21:33,280 --> 02:21:35,680
Speaker 1: I get fired by this guy, I'm clearly just doing

2940
02:21:35,720 --> 02:21:38,640
Speaker 1: it for the bag, and I can't blame them along

02:24:23,480 --> 02:24:27,800
Speaker 1: part of the Chargers broadcast squad, pre and post halftime,

2990
02:24:28,120 --> 02:24:30,600
Speaker 1: all of that getting you set for the game. So

2991
02:24:30,840 --> 02:24:33,039
Speaker 1: a lot of the festivities going on. I know a

2992
02:24:33,040 --> 02:24:37,520
Speaker 1: lot of excitement here, the celebration of Antonio Gates. Bucky

2993
02:24:38,080 --> 02:24:40,959
Speaker 1: one of the greats to do it and certainly one

2994
02:24:40,959 --> 02:24:43,240
Speaker 1: of those guys for fantasy football. He was the old

2995
02:24:43,320 --> 02:24:45,680
Speaker 1: ron coat said it and forget it, one of the

2996
02:24:45,720 --> 02:24:47,959
Speaker 1: tight ends that you knew weekend week out. No matter

2997
02:24:47,959 --> 02:24:50,280
Speaker 1: how banged up he was, he was going to give

2998
02:24:50,320 --> 02:24:54,680
Speaker 1: you your points. Something we can't say about that position. Generally,

2999
02:24:54,720 --> 02:24:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of rolling de dice here. In twenty twenty three,

3000
02:24:59,040 --> 02:25:04,320
Speaker 1: I Love mentioned Heisman Trophy candidates in five of seven

3001
02:25:04,800 --> 02:25:08,879
Speaker 1: being transfers, Bucky. It was interesting to watch as the

3002
02:25:08,879 --> 02:25:11,920
Speaker 1: week went. We're on, we get the word. Dylan Gabriel

3003
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:15,360
Speaker 1: now headed to Oregon, but the number of high level

3004
02:25:15,520 --> 02:25:21,320
Speaker 1: quarterbacks entering the portal not to mention just the seeming

3005
02:25:21,440 --> 02:25:26,720
Speaker 1: extension of college careers forever. But when we look at

3006
02:25:26,760 --> 02:25:30,480
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, the new world order, they asked, you know,

3007
02:25:30,560 --> 02:25:33,400
Speaker 1: Marvin Harrison and the other guys assembled, you know, what

3008
02:25:33,440 --> 02:25:36,720
Speaker 1: would you change, Like, well, conferences? Like hell yeah, I

3009
02:25:36,720 --> 02:25:39,560
Speaker 1: mean how soon does all of this get blown up

3010
02:25:39,920 --> 02:25:43,240
Speaker 1: in the next wave of things, especially you know when

3011
02:25:43,320 --> 02:25:46,640
Speaker 1: you look outside of those big couple of conferences, but

3012
02:25:47,320 --> 02:25:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, the transfer portal alive and well here to

3013
02:25:51,320 --> 02:25:54,720
Speaker 1: start or to end twenty twenty three.

3014
02:25:56,000 --> 02:25:57,959
Speaker 3: Yeah. So when I when I when I think about

3015
02:25:58,040 --> 02:26:00,520
Speaker 3: just all the different things, just so many different things

3016
02:26:00,560 --> 02:26:03,800
Speaker 3: going on around the sport, just trying to figure out

3017
02:26:03,840 --> 02:26:05,760
Speaker 3: like the lay of the land. I think the thing

3018
02:26:05,879 --> 02:26:08,119
Speaker 3: that I worry about, Like we just did a segment

3019
02:26:08,160 --> 02:26:10,760
Speaker 3: where we talked about Pittsburgh and we talked about players,

3020
02:26:10,760 --> 02:26:13,840
Speaker 3: and we talked about the divas, Andy and I talked

3021
02:26:13,840 --> 02:26:17,039
Speaker 3: about the portal and how do you kind of build

3022
02:26:17,080 --> 02:26:19,199
Speaker 3: a team with everyone hopping in and out the portal?

3023
02:26:19,200 --> 02:26:22,280
Speaker 3: He said, the seven percent of all student athletes and

3024
02:26:22,360 --> 02:26:24,480
Speaker 3: college football are now hopping in the port or trying

3025
02:26:24,520 --> 02:26:26,560
Speaker 3: to figure out the best thing we saw o higher

3026
02:26:26,600 --> 02:26:29,800
Speaker 3: State starting quarterback jumping to the portal after leading them

3027
02:26:29,840 --> 02:26:34,240
Speaker 3: to an eleven and one record. I'll say this, I

3028
02:26:34,280 --> 02:26:36,560
Speaker 3: think we had a crossroads where we needed all to

3029
02:26:36,640 --> 02:26:39,760
Speaker 3: kind of sort itself out because the lessons that the

3030
02:26:39,840 --> 02:26:42,640
Speaker 3: kids are going to learn, meaning the lessons in youth football,

3031
02:26:42,720 --> 02:26:45,400
Speaker 3: the lessons in middle school and high school or whatever, like,

3032
02:26:45,440 --> 02:26:47,080
Speaker 3: they need to mimic some of the lessons that are

3033
02:26:47,080 --> 02:26:49,560
Speaker 3: being taught up top, because in high school we're seeing

3034
02:26:49,600 --> 02:26:52,160
Speaker 3: all these people bounce around and not hanging adversity, just

3035
02:26:52,600 --> 02:26:54,800
Speaker 3: trying to go from school to school to school based

3036
02:26:54,840 --> 02:26:57,560
Speaker 3: on the number of touches or any of those things.

3037
02:26:58,200 --> 02:27:01,720
Speaker 3: We just had a dangerous point where I like coaches

3038
02:27:02,360 --> 02:27:05,160
Speaker 3: got to do a really good job of communicating to

3039
02:27:05,240 --> 02:27:05,960
Speaker 3: the masses.

3040
02:27:06,600 --> 02:27:08,120
Speaker 4: Oh no, I want you to.

3041
02:27:08,160 --> 02:27:11,440
Speaker 3: Understand how disruptive this is that everyone is moving. We're

3042
02:27:11,480 --> 02:27:14,640
Speaker 3: not trying to restrict player access a player movement, but

3043
02:27:14,680 --> 02:27:16,040
Speaker 3: we are trying to build a team.

3044
02:27:16,280 --> 02:27:17,200
Speaker 4: And it's hard to build a.

3045
02:27:17,200 --> 02:27:19,680
Speaker 3: Team when you've got a bunch of independent contractor that

3046
02:27:19,800 --> 02:27:22,480
Speaker 3: don't show up to work every day, that are looking

3047
02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:25,920
Speaker 3: for the next best job instead of committing to the

3048
02:27:25,959 --> 02:27:28,480
Speaker 3: group that they're working with. It's just a hard thing

3049
02:27:28,480 --> 02:27:30,800
Speaker 3: and it makes it even harder to figure out games

3050
02:27:31,040 --> 02:27:33,720
Speaker 3: because you got so many individual agendas that everyone is

3051
02:27:33,760 --> 02:27:36,480
Speaker 3: working through. It's hard to get a team with everyone

3052
02:27:36,480 --> 02:27:38,680
Speaker 3: on the same page. No, I'm sorry about the soapbox.

3053
02:27:38,840 --> 02:27:41,800
Speaker 1: No, it's the proper like I laid it up. I

3054
02:27:41,920 --> 02:27:46,080
Speaker 1: started building the soapbox for you because I'm in full agreement. Right,

3055
02:27:46,120 --> 02:27:49,720
Speaker 1: there's so many things swirling. How much juice did the

3056
02:27:49,840 --> 02:27:54,080
Speaker 1: NCAA have anymore in any of this? Right? The genie?

3057
02:27:54,480 --> 02:27:56,360
Speaker 1: Can you get them back in the bottle? When you're

3058
02:27:56,400 --> 02:28:00,000
Speaker 1: talking about nil collectives, et cetera. You know, I've lost

3059
02:28:00,240 --> 02:28:04,400
Speaker 1: been a critical of the Dabo Sweeney talk that he did.

3060
02:28:04,440 --> 02:28:06,040
Speaker 1: It's like, well, as soon as they get paid, I'm

3061
02:28:06,080 --> 02:28:12,080
Speaker 1: gonna quit. It's like, no, you're not, you're taking yeah, yeah.

3062
02:28:12,120 --> 02:28:13,680
Speaker 3: And then he said he wasn't going to participate in

3063
02:28:13,720 --> 02:28:15,640
Speaker 3: the Porter, which he hadn't, and then people are mad

3064
02:28:15,640 --> 02:28:16,119
Speaker 3: at him.

3065
02:28:15,959 --> 02:28:17,360
Speaker 4: For not participating in the Porter.

3066
02:28:17,440 --> 02:28:19,720
Speaker 3: But what he was trying to do is building a

3067
02:28:19,800 --> 02:28:24,240
Speaker 3: team that is fairly organic, because what happens is when

3068
02:28:24,240 --> 02:28:27,680
Speaker 3: you take a bunch of people in from the outside

3069
02:28:27,720 --> 02:28:31,560
Speaker 3: who haven't kind of been reared in the program, Mike,

3070
02:28:31,600 --> 02:28:33,840
Speaker 3: if you don't teach them your culture, the way that

3071
02:28:33,879 --> 02:28:37,400
Speaker 3: you go about doing things, it ends up disrupting your

3072
02:28:37,480 --> 02:28:41,080
Speaker 3: progress because they're doing one thing, everybody else is doing

3073
02:28:41,080 --> 02:28:42,960
Speaker 3: the other thing. If they don't know, then it becomes

3074
02:28:43,000 --> 02:28:44,640
Speaker 3: a problem. You yell at them, They're like, well, we

3075
02:28:44,680 --> 02:28:47,840
Speaker 3: didn't know, and so it just forces you to kind

3076
02:28:47,840 --> 02:28:51,400
Speaker 3: of recreate and re establish the culture and the brand

3077
02:28:51,920 --> 02:28:55,000
Speaker 3: every year. It's I think it's a more challenging thing

3078
02:28:55,080 --> 02:28:58,840
Speaker 3: to kind of fit a bunch of newbies in than

3079
02:28:58,920 --> 02:29:01,320
Speaker 3: to hey, here's what we're doing. There's gonna be a

3080
02:29:01,400 --> 02:29:04,879
Speaker 3: three four year process to get everybody ready, but we

3081
02:29:04,879 --> 02:29:05,959
Speaker 3: don't have the paceence.

3082
02:29:05,680 --> 02:29:08,720
Speaker 1: Well, nobody's got patience for that, right, and we don't

3083
02:29:08,720 --> 02:29:10,800
Speaker 1: have the patience for that to the college game. You

3084
02:29:11,280 --> 02:29:15,520
Speaker 1: don't have a month or now three preseason games to

3085
02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:18,480
Speaker 1: try to figure it out. Right, you're working it out

3086
02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:20,959
Speaker 1: in practice and you're and you're building as best you can,

3087
02:29:21,520 --> 02:29:23,960
Speaker 1: but those are early season games. And this is why

3088
02:29:24,320 --> 02:29:26,760
Speaker 1: I guess there there was something coming out of the

3089
02:29:26,800 --> 02:29:31,760
Speaker 1: college football playoff bracket that you know, the Texas Alabama

3090
02:29:31,800 --> 02:29:36,480
Speaker 1: game from September still ended up having weight where for

3091
02:29:36,600 --> 02:29:40,000
Speaker 1: a moment, and look, we can keep beating the drum

3092
02:29:40,040 --> 02:29:43,360
Speaker 1: for Florida State, et cetera. But you know, if say

3093
02:29:43,440 --> 02:29:47,520
Speaker 1: Texas had been left out, why would you ever schedule

3094
02:29:48,120 --> 02:29:52,600
Speaker 1: meaningful football in September? Again, right, if if you're not

3095
02:29:52,640 --> 02:29:54,480
Speaker 1: going to get rewarded for it, it's just looked at

3096
02:29:54,600 --> 02:29:56,840
Speaker 1: as a, ah, that was September, that doesn't matter.

3097
02:29:57,879 --> 02:29:59,959
Speaker 3: I mean it's almost like, I mean, if you're Florida State,

3098
02:30:00,080 --> 02:30:02,920
Speaker 3: Florida State went out on a limb and played LSU, right,

3099
02:30:03,120 --> 02:30:05,720
Speaker 3: played them, beat them. Why take the risk of that

3100
02:30:05,800 --> 02:30:08,480
Speaker 3: If you're not gonna be rewarded for it. People will say, oh,

3101
02:30:08,560 --> 02:30:10,120
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. They can continue to do that because

3102
02:30:10,160 --> 02:30:12,440
Speaker 3: now you're going to twelve teams. But can you what

3103
02:30:12,520 --> 02:30:15,000
Speaker 3: if you're the team that's sitting between eleven and fourteen

3104
02:30:15,560 --> 02:30:18,720
Speaker 3: and you've decided to take on one of these massive

3105
02:30:18,800 --> 02:30:21,960
Speaker 3: games for the people, but you lose it and then

3106
02:30:22,000 --> 02:30:22,879
Speaker 3: you plaize for it.

3107
02:30:22,959 --> 02:30:26,240
Speaker 1: But the difference between a number three seed and falling

3108
02:30:26,280 --> 02:30:29,440
Speaker 1: down to seven or eight, right, I mean, there's so

3109
02:30:29,560 --> 02:30:33,880
Speaker 1: many different things that start rolling through it. Yes, in theory,

3110
02:30:33,959 --> 02:30:36,680
Speaker 1: you're if you're that good, you finished top twelve, but

3111
02:30:37,440 --> 02:30:40,360
Speaker 1: you're playing to the margins, right, you're playing for that

3112
02:30:40,440 --> 02:30:44,040
Speaker 1: extra Now the other consideration is, you know, as we

3113
02:30:44,720 --> 02:30:47,920
Speaker 1: talk about the portal and everything else, Buckie, is how

3114
02:30:47,959 --> 02:30:50,640
Speaker 1: soon do I mean? I know it? They still generate

3115
02:30:50,680 --> 02:30:52,800
Speaker 1: a lot of money even if people aren't watching, they're

3116
02:30:52,840 --> 02:30:56,039
Speaker 1: still betting, they're still paying attention to a lot of it.

3117
02:30:56,400 --> 02:30:58,560
Speaker 1: But how much does the bowl system change in the

3118
02:30:58,560 --> 02:31:01,200
Speaker 1: next three to five years with a lot of starting

3119
02:31:01,280 --> 02:31:05,439
Speaker 1: quarterbacks and others and the mortal you know, are those practices?

3120
02:31:05,560 --> 02:31:09,560
Speaker 1: Are those sessions necessarily the same building blocks for the

3121
02:31:09,600 --> 02:31:12,560
Speaker 1: coming year, knowing a lot of your guys are bailing

3122
02:31:12,600 --> 02:31:13,560
Speaker 1: for another program.

3123
02:31:14,480 --> 02:31:17,039
Speaker 3: Okay, I have something for you since we're sitting here

3124
02:31:17,040 --> 02:31:19,640
Speaker 3: talking about it, right, So I said and watched yesterday

3125
02:31:19,640 --> 02:31:23,199
Speaker 3: and the FCS playoffs are on. I think they're now

3126
02:31:23,320 --> 02:31:26,800
Speaker 3: reaching these semi finals. And this is something that happens

3127
02:31:26,840 --> 02:31:29,280
Speaker 3: in high school all the time. Right. So I'm sure

3128
02:31:29,280 --> 02:31:33,080
Speaker 3: where you're from, in Chicago and Illinois, they have different classes,

3129
02:31:33,120 --> 02:31:36,360
Speaker 3: but they still have multiple state champions right. So I

3130
02:31:36,560 --> 02:31:39,440
Speaker 3: just wonder, Mike, as we think about it, what if

3131
02:31:39,440 --> 02:31:42,840
Speaker 3: we divvied college football up right where we have the

3132
02:31:42,840 --> 02:31:45,920
Speaker 3: top division where everyone knows. Okay, we talked about the

3133
02:31:45,920 --> 02:31:48,200
Speaker 3: Power five schools or whatever, but what if we took

3134
02:31:48,240 --> 02:31:50,680
Speaker 3: those other schools and what if we put them in

3135
02:31:50,760 --> 02:31:55,439
Speaker 3: little brackets sixteen team tournaments where we're kind of bracketing

3136
02:31:55,480 --> 02:31:57,800
Speaker 3: this out. So you got the top division where those

3137
02:31:57,840 --> 02:32:00,680
Speaker 3: guys are going to the college football playoff? Then can

3138
02:32:00,720 --> 02:32:03,680
Speaker 3: we take the next sixteen and just let's just say

3139
02:32:03,720 --> 02:32:06,640
Speaker 3: so we can have a banner. I just think because

3140
02:32:06,640 --> 02:32:08,920
Speaker 3: the Bulls are not doing it, I would think that

3141
02:32:08,959 --> 02:32:12,640
Speaker 3: there would be more interest in watching the whatever. The

3142
02:32:12,760 --> 02:32:17,039
Speaker 3: NCAA two A championship, YadA, YadA, YadA, ya YadA. And

3143
02:32:17,080 --> 02:32:18,680
Speaker 3: people are laughing and be like, oh, look at that

3144
02:32:18,760 --> 02:32:22,280
Speaker 3: little JV trophy. But I bet you those teams that

3145
02:32:22,360 --> 02:32:25,320
Speaker 3: win it, that have an interest in doing it, they

3146
02:32:25,440 --> 02:32:27,640
Speaker 3: like to hoist it because right now we're looking at

3147
02:32:27,640 --> 02:32:30,400
Speaker 3: the situation where none of these other teams will ever

3148
02:32:30,440 --> 02:32:33,560
Speaker 3: get close to sniffing a national title as is presently constructed.

3149
02:32:33,760 --> 02:32:36,040
Speaker 1: No, that's it they want. You're trying to figure out

3150
02:32:36,040 --> 02:32:40,760
Speaker 1: where there's propriate value also from the recruiting angle and

3151
02:32:40,920 --> 02:32:42,959
Speaker 1: profile whatever titles still matter.

3152
02:32:44,040 --> 02:32:44,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, group of five.

3153
02:32:44,920 --> 02:32:46,280
Speaker 3: So let's just say we took all the group of

3154
02:32:46,320 --> 02:32:48,480
Speaker 3: five teams and put them together or whatever. And if

3155
02:32:48,520 --> 02:32:50,480
Speaker 3: you're one of those teams, like, let's say North Carolina

3156
02:32:50,520 --> 02:32:52,960
Speaker 3: didn't want to do all the nil stuff. You don't

3157
02:32:52,959 --> 02:32:55,200
Speaker 3: want to do all the stuff that the Georgia's and

3158
02:32:55,280 --> 02:32:57,960
Speaker 3: Alabama's want to do. You want to go about maybe

3159
02:32:58,040 --> 02:33:01,280
Speaker 3: just having the true mission of the mixed student athlete

3160
02:33:01,320 --> 02:33:04,000
Speaker 3: and those things, so we would agree to participate at

3161
02:33:04,000 --> 02:33:07,080
Speaker 3: the lower level. Like at some point are we going

3162
02:33:07,160 --> 02:33:08,560
Speaker 3: to have to get to that? Because I don't know

3163
02:33:08,560 --> 02:33:10,480
Speaker 3: how long this is going to be sustainable in terms

3164
02:33:10,520 --> 02:33:14,160
Speaker 3: of paying out big money to get players and.

3165
02:33:14,160 --> 02:33:15,120
Speaker 4: All this other stuff.

3166
02:33:15,840 --> 02:33:18,320
Speaker 3: I don't know how long you can do it without

3167
02:33:18,320 --> 02:33:20,959
Speaker 3: getting a return on your investment.

3168
02:33:21,400 --> 02:33:23,760
Speaker 1: He's Bucky Brooks on Mike Carman, and we continue here

02:34:50,840 --> 02:34:54,560
Speaker 1: the total here one of the highest point over unders

3195
02:34:54,600 --> 02:34:57,400
Speaker 1: of the week, actually second only to Philly in Dallas

3196
02:34:57,440 --> 02:34:59,560
Speaker 1: at fifty one and a half. And that's Buffalo at

3197
02:34:59,640 --> 02:35:03,800
Speaker 1: Kansas Kansas City, a narrow one point favorite. The last

3198
02:35:03,879 --> 02:35:09,720
Speaker 1: I had looked in the gambling world. Here no Pacheco,

3199
02:35:09,920 --> 02:35:13,879
Speaker 1: who's been fantastic, twenty plus touches three straight weeks. So

3200
02:35:13,959 --> 02:35:17,200
Speaker 1: we're back to Clyde Edwards Hilaire and just looking at

3201
02:35:17,280 --> 02:35:21,560
Speaker 1: their roster. Rashi Rice has come along nicely and it

3202
02:35:21,560 --> 02:35:24,400
Speaker 1: has become a bigger part of the offense. It's him

3203
02:35:24,400 --> 02:35:27,360
Speaker 1: and it's Travis Kelce. But for Buffalo, coming off a

3204
02:35:27,400 --> 02:35:31,280
Speaker 1: bye week, you had a three part expos going after

3205
02:35:31,360 --> 02:35:35,600
Speaker 1: a lot of old historic things from Sean McDermott that

3206
02:35:35,680 --> 02:35:39,120
Speaker 1: get dredged up. He got a contract extension to twenty

3207
02:35:39,160 --> 02:35:43,240
Speaker 1: twenty seven, Bucky but at six and six hot seat,

3208
02:35:43,360 --> 02:35:46,240
Speaker 1: and then this adds it. Someone with an agenda. I mean,

3209
02:35:46,360 --> 02:35:47,840
Speaker 1: stuff comes out with purpose.

3210
02:35:49,400 --> 02:35:50,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, stuff does come out with purpose.

3211
02:35:51,120 --> 02:35:54,039
Speaker 3: And I'm not gonna lie because it was so dated,

3212
02:35:54,080 --> 02:35:55,879
Speaker 3: like I didn't know this was from.

3213
02:35:55,840 --> 02:35:59,480
Speaker 1: Like twenty ninety nineteen, Yeah, that they were bringing up.

3214
02:35:59,520 --> 02:36:01,080
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh, well, man, he brought us

3215
02:36:01,120 --> 02:36:03,040
Speaker 3: up in a recent meeting like twenty nineteen. I mean

3216
02:36:03,040 --> 02:36:05,720
Speaker 3: that's eons ago, not even saying that what he was

3217
02:36:05,720 --> 02:36:08,480
Speaker 3: talking about was right and didn't have like a lack

3218
02:36:08,520 --> 02:36:12,400
Speaker 3: of sensitivity. It's just I'm surprised that this was brought up,

3219
02:36:12,440 --> 02:36:15,320
Speaker 3: and then I'm like, well, why why are we bringing

3220
02:36:15,320 --> 02:36:19,920
Speaker 3: this up right now? What is the point of bringing

3221
02:36:19,959 --> 02:36:25,240
Speaker 3: this up right now? How does that impact anything? And

3222
02:36:25,640 --> 02:36:30,360
Speaker 3: for Sean McDermott, this is just, look, man, just another

3223
02:36:30,360 --> 02:36:32,800
Speaker 3: controversy to swim through because there are people that are

3224
02:36:32,800 --> 02:36:36,640
Speaker 3: still wondering what happened to Leslie Fraser? Why why did

3225
02:36:36,720 --> 02:36:40,280
Speaker 3: Leslie Fraser lead defenses that were near the top of

3226
02:36:40,320 --> 02:36:43,720
Speaker 3: the charts but he's no longer with the organization. Oh, Sean,

3227
02:36:43,800 --> 02:36:47,400
Speaker 3: you just wanted to call defenses. Huh, Okay, that's weird,

3228
02:36:47,480 --> 02:36:50,760
Speaker 3: but okay, we got it. And then you have, you know,

3229
02:36:50,879 --> 02:36:54,480
Speaker 3: the situation where you fire Ken Dorsey, you know, and

3230
02:36:54,600 --> 02:36:56,800
Speaker 3: Ken Dorsey's out, So then you got Joe Brady and

3231
02:36:57,280 --> 02:37:00,000
Speaker 3: you just wonder, does it look a lot of fun

3232
02:37:00,200 --> 02:37:00,960
Speaker 3: working there? Now?

3233
02:37:01,760 --> 02:37:02,680
Speaker 4: Are we having fun?

3234
02:37:03,120 --> 02:37:05,120
Speaker 3: When it comes to dealing with the Buffalo Bills and

3235
02:37:05,160 --> 02:37:10,080
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott, it disappears that things are going awry on

3236
02:37:10,200 --> 02:37:11,879
Speaker 3: and off the field in Buffalo.

3237
02:37:11,600 --> 02:37:14,400
Speaker 1: And you have the von Miller situation. Looks like he's

3238
02:37:14,400 --> 02:37:18,199
Speaker 1: going to be available to play today with a felony

3239
02:37:18,240 --> 02:37:22,280
Speaker 1: assault charge in the offing, as that gets investigated. So

3240
02:37:22,680 --> 02:37:25,600
Speaker 1: just a lot swirling. And on the football field, you've

3241
02:37:25,600 --> 02:37:28,720
Speaker 1: got Josh Allen, who, by a lot of metrics, is

3242
02:37:28,760 --> 02:37:30,560
Speaker 1: one of those guys at the top of the heap

3243
02:37:30,600 --> 02:37:34,640
Speaker 1: here Bucky, but the turnovers rise in and let's face it, defensively,

3244
02:37:34,680 --> 02:37:37,400
Speaker 1: you're down a couple of starters who are key to

3245
02:37:37,480 --> 02:37:40,080
Speaker 1: what you were doing in the back seven, and so

3246
02:37:40,160 --> 02:37:42,360
Speaker 1: you don't have the same juice on that side of

3247
02:37:42,360 --> 02:37:44,960
Speaker 1: the football. You're running the ball a little better with

3248
02:37:45,120 --> 02:37:49,320
Speaker 1: Murray and Cook in tandem, but you know, kind of

3249
02:37:49,320 --> 02:37:53,600
Speaker 1: a hurkie jerky flow for them. And Kansas City has mentioned,

3250
02:37:53,879 --> 02:37:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, trying to find consistency in their offense. You know,

3251
02:37:57,520 --> 02:37:59,080
Speaker 1: how do you see this one playing out?

3252
02:38:01,520 --> 02:38:05,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Kansas City, man, just I mean, you're just hoping

3253
02:38:05,440 --> 02:38:07,560
Speaker 3: that they can somehow find their way to it. I

3254
02:38:07,760 --> 02:38:09,880
Speaker 3: feel like a lot of it is overblown in terms

3255
02:38:09,879 --> 02:38:13,360
Speaker 3: of what's going on. But Andy Reid will will find

3256
02:38:13,400 --> 02:38:14,840
Speaker 3: a way. And the thing that they will do is

3257
02:38:14,840 --> 02:38:17,680
Speaker 3: they'll shift gears, They'll start relying on the running game,

3258
02:38:17,720 --> 02:38:20,400
Speaker 3: the screen game. They'll get to it. My confidence is

3259
02:38:20,440 --> 02:38:22,720
Speaker 3: not necessarily the pieces that they have on the field,

3260
02:38:22,720 --> 02:38:25,320
Speaker 3: but the coaching Andy Reid has always figured out, They'll

3261
02:38:25,320 --> 02:38:27,039
Speaker 3: figured out, and I think they figured out this week

3262
02:38:27,280 --> 02:38:28,000
Speaker 3: against Buffalo.

3263
02:38:28,160 --> 02:38:30,959
Speaker 1: Still several more weeks to go for fantasy purposes, would

3264
02:38:30,959 --> 02:38:33,199
Speaker 1: you start paying Patrick Mahomes or Justin Fields?

3265
02:38:35,040 --> 02:38:37,520
Speaker 3: Oh, I'm gonna sorry, Patrick Mahomes all day, every day,

3266
02:38:37,560 --> 02:38:37,800
Speaker 3: all right.

3267
02:38:37,920 --> 02:38:39,680
Speaker 1: So looking for big numbers this week?

3268
02:38:40,000 --> 02:38:45,080
Speaker 3: Yes, always, always, always hopeful two sem MVP, Always hopeful that.

3269
02:38:45,040 --> 02:38:46,320
Speaker 4: It to turn around and to come back.

3270
02:38:46,360 --> 02:38:48,760
Speaker 1: Well, I'm just wondering, you know, if Justin Fields runs

3271
02:38:48,760 --> 02:38:51,000
Speaker 1: for one hundred yards again and the Bears don't give

3272
02:38:51,000 --> 02:38:54,039
Speaker 1: this game away like they did a couple of weeks ago. Mm,

3273
02:38:54,959 --> 02:38:56,800
Speaker 1: that is because they did give that game away.

3274
02:38:57,080 --> 02:38:59,920
Speaker 3: They gave it away. Yeah, they did give it away.

3275
02:39:00,120 --> 02:39:01,520
Speaker 3: You're not long, you know.

3276
02:39:01,680 --> 02:39:03,480
Speaker 1: You want to sing a little red Hot Chili Peppers.

3277
02:39:03,480 --> 02:39:05,320
Speaker 1: I could tell you were going down that road in

3278
02:39:05,360 --> 02:39:08,680
Speaker 1: your brain. It was going give give it away. Not

3279
02:39:08,760 --> 02:39:11,800
Speaker 1: a holiday holiday, holiday song, but it certainly got you

3280
02:39:11,879 --> 02:39:16,160
Speaker 1: fired up. All right. So excitement, yeah, excitement all around.

3281
02:39:16,240 --> 02:39:19,640
Speaker 1: It's Week fourteen of the National Football League season at

3282
02:39:19,640 --> 02:39:21,879
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks where you find him on Twitter. You hear

3283
02:39:21,920 --> 02:39:24,760
Speaker 1: him as part of the Jaguars call countdown to kickoff

3284
02:39:24,760 --> 02:39:26,119
Speaker 1: coming up next year, I'm Fox.
