Speaker 1: Was that a heater last night?

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 2: Or what?

10
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 1: How great is college football? The Miami Hurricanes will play.

11
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 1: They are back for a national championship ten days from now.

12
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,000
Speaker 3: It's the Herd. We're in La.

00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: Wherever you may be, however you may be listening or watching.

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for making us part of your day. Yes, I

15
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: will have a blazing five. I will I found a

16
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: fifth game. Tu bet we had a great season sixty percent.

17
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: I feel pretty good about it. It's our postseason blazing five.

18
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: I'm not letting you erode our regular season winning percentage.

19
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 1: We go to our postseason blazing five. Jay McK and

20
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: I sat and watched that game together last night, maybe

21
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: over a cold brew. Wow wow. So let's start with

22
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,279
Speaker 1: this Miami. The Miami Hurricanes, regardless of who they play,

23
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: will be the most talented team in the National Championship.

24
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: They've got more talent in Indiana, and they got more

25
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: talent than Oregon, and they physically dominated Ole Miss, but

26
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: Ole Miss took two fourth quarter leads. That's why I'm

27
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,679
Speaker 1: not sure if Miami can beat in Indiana. Between the

28
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: Hurricanes drop passes, drop picks, late hits, penalties, and weird

29
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: play calling, you let your opponent back in games all year.

30
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: Miami needed a touchdown with eighteen seconds left, yet they

31
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: had a forty one minute to eighteen minute time of

32
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: possession advantage.

33
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: They pushed All Miss all over the field.

34
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,839
Speaker 1: You can't beat Indiana and be that inefficient. I don't

35
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 1: care how much more talent you have, you may may

36
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: be able to beat Oregon. I mean, why did Carson

37
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 1: Beck throw thirty seven times? Why he could have thrown

38
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 1: seven times. They were running all overall Miss, and they

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: started doing flea flickers and difficult passes and risky sideline throws.

40
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if Miami plays complimentary football, but it

41
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: is just a flood of speed and size and strength

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: and power and aggressiveness and let's just see what happens.

43
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 3: So, if you.

44
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: Want to watch talent turn on the Miami Hurricanes, a

45
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: team that's massively improved from the middle of a season.

46
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: This team lost to Louisville, and Louisville's not a bad program,

47
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: But I mean this team has really improved, and that

48
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: speaks to the coaching staff. If you want to watch

49
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: some talent with efficiency, I think you're better off to

50
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: watch Oregon in Indiana. So I watching Miami's aggressiveness last night.

51
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 1: They're like a fourteen year old after a big bag

52
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: of skittles. They're all over the place. But Chicato appreciate

53
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: the talent. I'm glad they won. College football is better

54
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 1: when Miami's great. I'll argue in about ten minutes about

55
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: the pass interference non call, which I thought was the

56
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: right call. College football is better. Talent absolutely wins in

57
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: every level of football. But the Patriots rarely had the

58
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,839
Speaker 1: most talented team. In fact, i'd argue the Randy Moss

59
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: teams with the most talented they didn't win super Bowls.

60
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: You know, Chiefs won when Tyreek Hill left the building,

61
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: won a couple of super Bowls. I don't know if

62
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: just talent alone wins. At Miami, the play calling drove

63
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: me nuts. They got too cute, They threw too much,

64
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: the late hit, the drop passes, the drop picks. But

65
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: you know what, what they are is a symbol of

66
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: what ni al and transfer portal football is. We watch

67
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: them grow and mature. You're allowed to do that now

68
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: in college football. You don't have to be at your

69
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: best October eighth, and as the sports become a little

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: bit college football, a little bit NFL. I love the

71
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: fact that Ole Miss and Miami we're just playing the

72
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: right team one, the better team one. And here's Mario

73
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: Christobal after.

74
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: It's a reflection of.

75
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 3: How awesome this sport is.

76
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 4: How teams have the opportunity to get better as year

77
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 4: goes on, how young players get to develop, Veteran players

78
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,160
Speaker 4: have a chance to become leaders, and all of a

79
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: sudden you have a different dynamic in the middle of

80
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: the season and then down the stretch, and it carries

81
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 4: you into the playoffs. You can get hot at the

82
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 4: right time and things could be pretty interesting in a hurry.

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 4: So I mean, football's about settling it on the field right,

84
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 4: and when the more we can give teams an opportunity

85
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 4: to do that, I think it makes.

86
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: The sport better for the record, that game does not

87
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: exist last night without the transfer portal, without the NIL,

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: without the college football Playoff, which a majority of fans

89
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: complained about. They want their old regional rivalries.

90
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 3: I don't.

91
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: You can have a few of those. I want last night.

92
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: I want Miami being great. I want Michigan winning one year,

93
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 1: Ohio State the next year, and Miami, Oregon and Indiana

94
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: possibly winning the next year. Tonight's game could be potentially

95
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: even better. But this game doesn't happen without NIL and

96
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: the transfer portal, and without a playoff that now allows

97
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: allows teams to stumble come on their nineteen twenty year

98
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: old kids. Even professional team stumble. The Rams go to Carolina.

99
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford can't stop throwing the ball to the other team.

100
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,679
Speaker 3: He's a thirty seven year old.

101
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Pro, So we think an October law should wreck it

102
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720
Speaker 1: for a nineteen twenty year old kid. Miami is a

103
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: symbol of what college football now is, and I want

104
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: to specifically, there.

105
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 3: Was a moment don't go to it yet.

106
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: There was a moment last night that really crystallized to

107
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: me the demise. And it's not arguable of the sec

108
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: there was a singular play middle of the game, run

109
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: play for Miami against SEC team, Old Miss. Watch the play.

110
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: It is a run play and it would have gone

111
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: like for five or six yards. Watch the ACC team

112
00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: push the SEC team back twelve yards.

113
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 3: That didn't happen five years ago.

114
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: Nobody pushed Georgia around LSU, around Bama around Bama just

115
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 1: got housed by Indiana that play. Miami is bigger than

116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: the set team. They're stronger than the SEC team. They're

117
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: more physical than the SEC team. Well, it's old Miss.

118
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 1: Ole Miss this year is really good to the best

119
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: SEC team this year. They beat Georgia. Georgia couldn't stop them.

120
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: Bama couldn't stop anybody. Ole Miss couldn't stop Miami last

121
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: night when it mattered. But that play symbolized it. You

122
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: can't have a car dealer and a whiskey distributor and

123
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: a personal injury attorney be your number one nil booster.

124
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: You need a car maker. You need a billionaire. That's

125
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: what the Notre Dames and the Michigans, the big endowments

126
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: at some of these universities, Big City Miami, Like when

127
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 1: you watched how much time Carson Beck had or the

128
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: physical domination, I mean the running back for Miami is

129
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: bigger than the linebackers and defensive ends for ole Miss,

130
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: and that played to me. I mean, listen, the SEC

131
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: had five teams in the College Football Playoff. The only

132
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 1: team that SEC teams that wasn't an SAC SEC team

133
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: was Too Lane. In fact, SEC team's first non conference

134
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: power opponents this playoff and this postseason.

135
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 3: Do you know what they are?

136
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 1: One in eight minus sixty four point differential. I got

137
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: nothing against bourbon distributors, personal injury attorneys, and car dealers,

138
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: but if they're your number one nil moneybag guy, you're

139
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: not gonna beat Ohio State and going forward Michigan USC

140
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: is just right and checks left and right, Oregon right

141
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: and checks Notre Dame right and checks. This is easy.

142
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: This has been the last three weeks. BAMA getting pushed

143
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: around by Indiana's offensive line. I mean, I'm watching that

144
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 1: game last night. I'm like, why is Miami throwing just

145
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: run the ball forty straight times? You used to not

146
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: be able to run it twice in a row. There

147
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: were times the SEC would dominate a national championship game

148
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: against the Notre Dame.

149
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 3: The game was over the second series.

150
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: So not only are SEC teams getting posted, but like

151
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: National Letter of intentde this year. Forget the portal, the

152
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: National High School letter of Intent day USC Oregon Notre Dame.

153
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: Whoa what there was no Georgian there. So man, it's

154
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: a new world of college football.

155
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 3: Jmac.

156
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: People are freaking out about the hail Mary or the

157
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: pass interference. I'll get to that around the corner Bears Packers.

158
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 2: By the way, this game would not have been close

159
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: if Miami didn't drop like five interceptions.

160
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 5: I mean, I've never seen anything like that.

161
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,800
Speaker 1: Well we were in Yeah, just listen. They're a flood

162
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 1: of raw talent, speed, athleticism. Their O line play is dominant,

163
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: and you know, teams become the personality of their coach. Right,

164
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: so Mario Christobal loves UFC, big guy, warrior offensive line guy.

165
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: What's the strength of their team? Raw power offensive line?

166
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Right when Chip Kelly was at Oregon, it was the

167
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: no huddle. Chip's kind of a creative, a clever guy,

168
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: like they literally got rid of huddles in college football.

169
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: You become in college football, your personality, your head coach.

170
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,559
Speaker 1: That's what the team becomes. And Miami's going to be

171
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: a bully. Miami's gonna get in your grill They're not

172
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 1: going to be artistic, they're not going to be pretty.

173
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,439
Speaker 3: They're always going to be efficient.

174
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they dropped so many balls and so many picks,

175
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 1: so many penalties.

176
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 3: But man, that that that is they're back.

177
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, well, let's reserve judgment until they play Indian.

178
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:44,520
Speaker 3: Organ If you get to the Natty, your back.

179
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, fair, that's fair.

180
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: But Indiana or Oregon I think both would be favored

181
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 2: against Miami.

182
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: Indiana would be Oregon.

183
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: Okay, Oregans like every other team not named Indiana. Oregon

184
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 1: makes mistakes too, not as many is Miami, but they

185
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: don't have Miami's talent. So everybody's arguing about it's gotta

186
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: be pass interference. I want to add some perspective to this.

187
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 3: Next It's The Hurt.

202
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to hear this about our justice system. But

203
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: sometimes a judge will make an arbitrary ruling.

204
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 3: There's a very serious case.

205
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 1: The person has done something very bad and yet comes

206
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: into the courtroom with an attitude and is snarky, and

207
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 1: the judge says, I don't like your attitude, Meaning judges

208
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: in our justice system can be arbitrary. When you get

209
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 1: in your car and drive on the freeway, it's called

210
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: a speed limit. I think you deserve a ticket. You

211
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 1: went one mile per hour over the speed limit. The

212
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: truth is on LA freeways the four zero five, everybody's

213
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: going eight to twelve miles an hour faster than the limit.

214
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: You got to go about twenty five miles an hour

215
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,199
Speaker 1: faster to stand out and get a ticket. Yet it's

216
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 1: called the speed limit. Folks, there is nuance in every

217
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: part of our lives, law, law enforcement, our judicial system,

218
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: and it's the same with officiating. You're not calling pass

219
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: interference to end the game. You're not calling it. You

220
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: could call that play at the end of the game.

221
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: You could call pass interference on every Hail Mary in

222
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: the history of the NFL, every single one. It's jocking

223
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 1: for position, and they almost never do yes. If there

224
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 1: was an egregious face mask or two to pull him down,

225
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: you'd call it.

226
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 3: There wasn't.

227
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: You go to the last thirty seconds of the NBA Finals.

228
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 1: We don't want the game ending at the free throw line.

229
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 1: Michael Jordan to push off against Utah. That's a foul

230
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,199
Speaker 1: in the second quarter. Absolutely a foul in the second quarter,

231
00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,079
Speaker 1: sending a message to mj don't do that. But on

232
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 1: the final possession, you're not calling that. You're not calling that.

233
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: That's too iconic. It's history. Time and place matters for everything, marriage, speed, limits,

234
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: our justices, them, even officiating. The NFL change the catch

235
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 1: rule in a Super Bowl Philadelphia, New England. They change

236
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: the catch rule in the Super Bowl. The NFL often

237
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: will do it in preseason and in September. There'll be

238
00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 1: a point of emphasis in a rule change, and the

239
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:23,280
Speaker 1: NFL will overcall get hyper aggressive, calling certain things to

240
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: emphasize to the players and coaches. We want this habit

241
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 1: to end. Listen, Miami at a fifteen place, seventy five

242
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: yard drive to win. If All Miss makes one play

243
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: on that drive, they don't have to cross their fingers

244
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 1: and hope they get one call to save their butt

245
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:44,680
Speaker 1: because they got outplayed.

246
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 3: And out hit.

247
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: But there's nuance in everything everything, speed limits, law enforcement,

248
00:14:54,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: judges in courtrooms, you're not calling that. Whenever fans do this,

249
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: you want one call, but your team couldn't make one

250
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: play on a fifteen play seventy five yard drive. Thank

251
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: god the adult. Pete Golding, the coach for Old Miss,

252
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 1: understands how the world works.

253
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 7: Those situations are tough to call them them in those situations.

254
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,560
Speaker 7: But I mean, yeah, there was contact, but I mean

255
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 7: it happens a lot. You know, that's that's not why

256
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 7: we lost the game. But you know, we just had

257
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 7: a lot of opportunities late. But I mean, I think

258
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 7: it shows you the resiliency of the team, you know,

259
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,080
Speaker 7: I mean, they didn't care was at eighteen fifteen. They're

260
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 7: going to go out there and give it all they

261
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 7: got and.

262
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 3: You know, looks like you ran out of time.

263
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 10: But we didn't.

264
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 7: Execute well enough, didn't I'm prepare well enough and we

265
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 7: didn't coach good enough.

266
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Fan is short for fanatic. He's absolutely right. I

267
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: going into this game, I don't know if you liked.

268
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: I liked Miami to win, but I kept saying, if

269
00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: Ole Miss with Trinidad Chandler's came back and back door

270
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: to it, you wouldn't be shocked because they're all Miss

271
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 1: doesn't play normal football games. Every Old Miss game is crazy.

272
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:07,960
Speaker 1: Every game they play is crazy, and that's why they're

273
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: so endearing. And that's why I hope Trinidad Chambliss gets

274
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: another year. That's just fun to watch. Great heart, the

275
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: whole Kiffin thing. It's a fascinating story. But you know it,

276
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 1: and I know it. If you were if you were

277
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: an Old Miss fan and you had dominated Miami and

278
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: you had had a seventy play, five yard drive, fifteen plays,

279
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: they couldn't make a single play, would you want the

280
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: past interference? Go? No, you just don't call that now

281
00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: in that spot. It would have to be so overtly,

282
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,560
Speaker 1: ridiculously egregious, and it wasn't.

283
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 3: And the coach gets it. J Mack with the news, No, no,

284
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 3: turn on the news.

285
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 2: This is the headline news, all right, call it NFL

286
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 2: Playoffs this weekend Monday Night. The Steelers and Texans are

287
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,400
Speaker 2: an interesting matchup. Aaron Rodgers back in the playoffs and what.

288
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 5: Did you know it?

289
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 2: Colin yesterday while talking about Mike tom And he decided

290
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 2: to take a shot at his former team, my Jets.

291
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 10: I think the way that he creates the culture and

292
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,880
Speaker 10: allows guys to be themselves an important part of team

293
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 10: chemistry and a locker room being a healthy locker room.

294
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 10: One thing I really love, and it's kind of the

295
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 10: antithesis of where I was, is is not really any

296
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 10: leaks in the boat. Every year you have difficulties and adversity,

297
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 10: both on the field and off the field, and to

298
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 10: go through a season like this and to be able

299
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 10: to focus on football and not have a lot of

300
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 10: other out there has been really nice.

301
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: He's not wrong, Definitely, he's not wrong.

302
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, listen, he got Green Bay. Sometimes Aaron

303
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,960
Speaker 1: created the nonsense. I mean he knows it, everybody knows it.

304
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: But by and large, it's a great organization. And Pittsburgh,

305
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 1: for all their flaws, like Green Bay, it's about football

306
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 1: and the Jets are a circus.

307
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 5: Well, it's a.

308
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 2: Lot easier when you're winning, you know, you don't have

309
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,360
Speaker 2: to worry about all these leaks and nonsense and bs

310
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 2: when you're losing. And Rogers was a big part of

311
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 2: that with the Jets. Yeah, stuff's going to start to

312
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 2: leak out because people are unhappy. I mean, he's definitely

313
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 2: not wrong. By the way, this line now down to

314
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 2: a flat three, no more three and a half.

315
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 1: I will tell you, I will tell you that was

316
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 1: I talked about this all week that I like the

317
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh side, and the staff knows. At my blazing five,

318
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: this was my last one I pulled out. This was

319
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: my second favorite bet, three and a half. I thought

320
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:33,880
Speaker 1: it was great, But numbers matter in betting. At three,

321
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 1: it's an average bet. Yeah, but at three and a half,

322
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 1: you'd have to take Pittsburgh at home as a dog.

323
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: It just against the Houston team that struggles in the

324
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: red zone to put sevens on the board, not threes.

325
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:47,959
Speaker 5: Yeah. Right, we'll talk more about this on Monday.

326
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 2: All right, Let's go to the next story, and that's

327
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 2: John Horbaugh and his situation after getting fired.

328
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 5: By the Ravens.

329
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 2: He apparently has been linked to the Dolphins a lot,

330
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,879
Speaker 2: but according to the Athletic Miami is a serious threat.

331
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,640
Speaker 2: And Harball is also very interested in the Giants.

332
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 5: Well, and they've been a big admirer obviously.

333
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,679
Speaker 1: John Mara, Okay, if you were the agent for John Harball,

334
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: you'd want to make sure the Miami Dolphins know, Hey,

335
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: you think you have me. I'm very interested in the Giants.

336
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: Telling you, Harbaugh's probably going to Miami, but the deal

337
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: is not done yet. They haven't agreed to terms, they

338
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: haven't agreed to money yet.

339
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 3: So he's going to.

340
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: Play because the argument is, I could argue for some reasons,

341
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: Miami's a better job because you're going to.

342
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: Get control of the front office.

343
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 2: Well wait a minute, they apparently are in the process

344
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 2: or just announced a GM hiring this morning. Meanwhile, Joe

345
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: Sheen is still in place, a guy that Harball's not

346
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,520
Speaker 2: been connected to. I don't have his name off the

347
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 2: top of my head, but it's very interesting that they

348
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 2: would hire a GM knowing that Harball might want to

349
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 2: say something whacky's going on here, or Harbaugh's just wants

350
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: a bidding war.

351
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: The minute John was let go, within the hour, Miami

352
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 1: called and said, do you have here's a list of

353
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:13,200
Speaker 1: gms we've talked to which one do you feel most

354
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: comfortable with? And John Harbaugh said that one. This is

355
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: how the game works, and within forty eight hours they

356
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:20,320
Speaker 1: hire the GM.

357
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 3: John Harbaugh's most comfortable.

358
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: With taking I don't want to bash to this is

359
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know if he's a starter next year,

360
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: but taking a team with Tua in that contract versus

361
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 2: Jackson Dardan one year.

362
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 1: It's a one year contract. You're at all You're done

363
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: with the two a thing.

364
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: Fat tyreek Hill, Constantine, Denver still paying for Russell Wilson.

365
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 3: He's been out the door for years.

366
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, that dead cap, that was smart.

367
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 1: You can you can if you draft well and hit

368
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: on five picks. That doesn't I mean the Denver Broncos

369
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 1: hit on several picks. Suddenly the dead cap. I mean

370
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: Bo Nicks basically saved the dead cap.

371
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 5: Dolphins state. That's not great for the Jets.

372
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: So h we got very we would have hardball. We'll

373
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: see what happens with the Bills and the Jets have

374
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: Aaron Glenn. Not good final story Colin Niners Eagles. That's

375
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 2: a big one and not great news for the Niners. Yesterday,

376
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: Ricky Piersall did not practice. The good news is Trent

377
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:19,679
Speaker 2: Williams did return to practice in a limited fashion lines

378
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: at five and a half, and we got some numbers

379
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 2: on the team with and without Trent Williams. Colin, it

380
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: is staggering how bad they are. Remember how Lane Johnson

381
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 2: when he misses for the Eagles, they're a different team.

382
00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 2: Look at the numbers without Trent Williams if he's not

383
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 2: able to go four and thirteen, and the points per

384
00:21:35,359 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 2: game is down, the rushing yards way down.

385
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 3: You and I have talked about this. I don't think

386
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: we disagree.

387
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 1: Once you get the right coach, the most important player

388
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,959
Speaker 1: is the quarterback. I've argued forever. Left tackle a second,

389
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: not edge rusher, wide receiver. Third is a great defensive

390
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: frontline player, either Crosby or Garret. On the edge. You

391
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: know Chris Jones and his prime Jalen Carter, Aaron Donald.

392
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 1: But this this number left tackle says it all did.

393
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: This is what when you get one of these? I

394
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 1: always said the Keda Brady his career. Everybody says Belichick,

395
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: it's Dante Scarnecia. Brady never had a bad offensive line.

396
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Aaron and Brett Fahr never had bad offensive lines. So

397
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: you take Trent Williams out. It's a different team, totally.

398
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,880
Speaker 2: Different, and that pass rust that the Eagles have, it's

399
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 2: going to be hell for brock Perdy.

400
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 5: I'm I'm, I.

401
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 2: Mean, I think they if they could get an early

402
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 2: lead and Robert Slikin cook up some stuff, maybe there's

403
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 2: a chance here. But I'm with you, I think the Eagles.

404
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,679
Speaker 1: Inside blazing five top of thirty minutes.

405
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: Yeah. J Mack with the news.

406
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 6: Well that's the news, and thanks for stopping by the

407
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 6: herd Line news.

408
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: So, Bears Packers is interesting. Chicago is a long time.

409
00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: Chicago has not won a playoff game in fifteen years. Now,

410
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: you say to yourself, well, at least they're not the Jaguars.

411
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: In that fifteen year span, the Jaguars have won three

412
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: playoff games and been to an AFC Championship. Yeah.

413
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 2: That.

414
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 1: In that fifteen year span, the Browns have won a

415
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: playoff game, The Arizona Cardinals have won a playoff game,

416
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 1: The Titans have won playoff games, the Bengals have been

417
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. The Bears have not won a

418
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,600
Speaker 1: playoff game. And it's not just that the Bears are good,

419
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: and they are good, they're number two seed. They want

420
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: eleven and six. They have a top three rushing offense.

421
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,640
Speaker 1: They're a good team, very good team. It's just what

422
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: Ben Johnson did in six months. I mean, this is

423
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: a team that last year lost a Hail Mary game

424
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 1: because their cornerback was on the field during the play,

425
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 1: jawing with fans in DC, they were the most sacked team.

426
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 1: They were thirty first on third down. They found ways

427
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: to lose. Now they're arguably the best comeback fourth quarter

428
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: offense in the league. They don't turn the ball over

429
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 1: and they've surrendered the third fewest sacks. And the old

430
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:21,959
Speaker 1: line is sensational now and I sometimes and this is

431
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: why you cannot go cheap like the Bengals and the

432
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys on coaches. Ben Johnson had to fix the quarterback,

433
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: he had to fix the old line, he had to

434
00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: fix the culture. He had to fix three to four

435
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 1: different things. They were the most sacked team. Now they're

436
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: one of the team sacked fewest. So when I watched

437
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: these coaching opportunities, when I watch all these coaching openings,

438
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: everybody's like, Oh, let's go get this coordinator.

439
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 3: What are you doing?

440
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,719
Speaker 1: Go find your Vabel, Go find your John Harball you're

441
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:08,439
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh. You hire John Harball Giants Miami, or you

442
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: hire Kevin Stefanski, who won playoff games in Cleveland. Like

443
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,639
Speaker 1: that's who you hire. Don't outthink the room. These owners

444
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 1: get so and the Bears owners can be a little cheap.

445
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 1: The Bears owners are poorest or second porest in the league.

446
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,400
Speaker 1: They have to spend some real money on Ben Johnson.

447
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:31,719
Speaker 1: So you're what they've done to change the culture, the

448
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: O line, the quarterback. It is so dramatic to me.

449
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: And now they face their art Drival at home. I

450
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: just feel they've got momentum. I think they're roma Dunze's backed.

451
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: I think they're healthy. Here's Ben Johnson on facing the

452
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 1: Packers again.

453
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 11: I'm rooted a I've been saying it all week. I'm

454
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 11: rooted in the fundamentals, particularly on games like this. It's

455
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 11: about blocking, it's about tackling, it's about catching the ball,

456
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 11: it's about ball security. Things of that nature come come

457
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 11: out to the forefront, and so I'm more concerned with

458
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 11: playing sound football, making sure that we're putting our guys

459
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 11: in a good spot. I meant, we got a lot

460
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 11: of talented players and you just want them to play fast,

461
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 11: play confident, and put them in a good good spot.

462
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: You know, watching that college game last night, Jay McK

463
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,719
Speaker 1: and I are watching this and we both remarked how

464
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,320
Speaker 1: bad the tackling was. So that's why I don't like

465
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: Denver and Seattle getting a week off. You don't do

466
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:28,359
Speaker 1: a lot of tackling in that week off. When you

467
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:31,520
Speaker 1: watch these college football games Indiana, you can see the

468
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:35,600
Speaker 1: Indiana coaching. They tackle well. Bama didn't like the tackling

469
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 1: last night was bad for both teams. And so you know,

470
00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 1: that's my takeaway is in college, you know, you give

471
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 1: eighteen year olds and nineteen year olds ten days of

472
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: not practicing that they got a lot of things to do.

473
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:52,959
Speaker 1: In the pros, time off usually doesn't affect tackling. And

474
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,959
Speaker 1: the one thing Tom Brady came on this show yesterday

475
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: and he said it, this week off of those teams

476
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: like Seattle and Denver, that's a week of prep, not

477
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,280
Speaker 1: a week of rest. I think Chicago, because of their youth,

478
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: even though they're in a two game losing streak, I

479
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 1: think Chicago wants to play right now. I think they're

480
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: better as a two seed in Chicago than a one

481
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 1: seed I think Caleb Williams and Ben Johnson need reps,

482
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: need that. This is an offense that plays with a lot.

483
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: You see it in games. The Bears can be awful

484
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: for half, great for a half. Say with Philadelphia, Philadelphia

485
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,360
Speaker 1: can be awful for a half, great for a half.

486
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: Like Philadelphia gave guys off last week. They were banged out,

487
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:34,760
Speaker 1: and they are older, like a Chicago team. To me,

488
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: it's better as a two seed than a one seed.

489
00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 1: They're young, they're growing, they're developing. I think when you

490
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: watch college football, the younger the team, the more time

491
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:52,000
Speaker 1: they waste with extra time. The older the team uses

492
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: that extra time for By the way, what team tackled

493
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,359
Speaker 1: well in college football with time off? Indiana? Look at

494
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 1: Indiana's roster. It's an older, more mature roster. They had

495
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four. So you watch those teams last night,

496
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:07,640
Speaker 1: a lot of young players.

497
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 5: Yeah.

498
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,680
Speaker 2: The other question, so with the talent so spread out

499
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 2: now in college football, right, so it's not concentrated. Georgia

500
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 2: doesn't have like seven starting NFL players, so it's spread out,

501
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,440
Speaker 2: And I just I wondered, like last night's game was fun,

502
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 2: but it didn't feel like a heavyweight championship.

503
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 5: Did it with a bunch of supersings.

504
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:29,920
Speaker 1: No, I think Miami against Indiana could feel that. Oh,

505
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,240
Speaker 1: I think you'll have the most talented team and the

506
00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:35,919
Speaker 1: best coach team. That's not that Mario Christopaul isn't a

507
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 1: good coach. I mean, he obviously is, but his style

508
00:28:38,920 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 1: of coaching is raw and aggressive and punitive. Whereas I

509
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: look at Indiana, it's almost mathematics. It's efficients. They haven't

510
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: had an errant snap all season, not one. They haven't

511
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: had a fumble at Indiana since the eighteenth play of

512
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 1: the season.

513
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:56,520
Speaker 3: They had the fewest draw passes.

514
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,440
Speaker 1: So it's a real you judt opposed those two teams,

515
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not in Indiana is going to blow out Oregon.

516
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,240
Speaker 1: I think they'll beat them. Oregon is your typical, really

517
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 1: good college team. They make mistakes. Miami makes a ton

518
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,120
Speaker 1: of mistakes. Indiana makes no mistakes. So you're going to

519
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: get a clash of styles potentially.

520
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 5: By the way, now you said it right, So.

521
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:16,719
Speaker 2: Ten days until the national Championship. They're stringing this out

522
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: too far. This is too much, too much time off.

523
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,120
Speaker 5: Can we just do a week?

524
00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 2: It's like the Super Bowl. Sometimes you hate waiting two

525
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:27,600
Speaker 2: weeks for it. Right, it's just ten more days before

526
00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 2: the Natty.

527
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: All I know is you and I sat there knocking

528
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: down diet cokes and watched a fantastic three four hours

529
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 1: of American sports.

530
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 5: Football is not bad, not a bad sort.

531
00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: That game does not exist without the transfer portal nil

532
00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:47,840
Speaker 1: college playoff that that oh, miss Miami.

533
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 2: Didn't we watch Notre Dame Penn State last year? That

534
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 2: was kind of a thriller too, right, I'm pretty sure

535
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 2: they were. They met in the semi final and Aller

536
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 2: had that brutal pick late.

537
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 6: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

538
00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,520
Speaker 6: noon Easter not a em Pacific Sunday.

539
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 2: It's a top twenty five showdown in the Big Ten,

540
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 2: as sixteenth ranked Illinois takes on number nineteen Iowa at

541
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 2: noon Eastern only on Foxing.

542
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: So of all the playoff games week this weekend, I

543
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: have a feeling, you know, if Trent Williams plays and

544
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: Ricky Pearsoll does, I think San Francisco Philly could be

545
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,080
Speaker 1: really interesting because just all Eagle games are kind of interesting.

546
00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 3: They're really good at home in the playoffs.

547
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bill's Jacksonville game is really, to me the

548
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 1: most consequential. There are fourteen teams in the playoffs, only

549
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,360
Speaker 1: one team has one way to win and reach the

550
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. The team is Buffalo, and the way is

551
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen puts on a cape and is Superman for

552
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,360
Speaker 1: multiple weeks.

553
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:50,160
Speaker 3: Now.

554
00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 1: San Francisco can be very reliant on Christian McCaffrey, but

555
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo doesn't have Kyle Shanahan's schemes and play design to

556
00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:01,720
Speaker 1: elevate other players. This team not good on the perimeter,

557
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 1: can't stop the run. Don't trust them sometimes with special

558
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: teams most teams like justin. Herbert means a lot to

559
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 1: the Chargers, but they have a great defense, an amazing

560
00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,280
Speaker 1: head coach, and a stupendous kicker CJ. Stroud. Jalen hurts Herbert.

561
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: Don't have to have their A game to win. C J.

562
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,200
Speaker 1: Stroud's won three games this year twenty points re fewer anytime.

563
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the Bills offense has twenty points for

564
00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 1: fewer all all of them they lost. So there's got

565
00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: one way, and that's why I don't like them.

566
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:35,760
Speaker 3: This team.

567
00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 1: Also constantly I feel like Josh Allen is carrying units

568
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,400
Speaker 1: that have let him down. Your wide receiver group can't

569
00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 1: be this week. You know, the running game is really

570
00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:51,960
Speaker 1: basically Josh and one player, James Cook. There's not a

571
00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 1: lot of depth there to me, so special teams I

572
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,360
Speaker 1: don't always trust. I mean Josh Allen's. If you look

573
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:02,400
Speaker 1: at his twelve wins, he had one hundred lever one

574
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 1: hundred and eleven passer rating and his losses it was

575
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 1: eighty seven. He plays poorly, He's off his game. He

576
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: didn't have his fastball, he didn't spot the off speed stuff.

577
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 1: They lose and that's not the case with Herbert or c. J.

578
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: Stroud or Jalen Hurts, even brock Perty. So pro athletes

579
00:32:21,280 --> 00:32:23,960
Speaker 1: want to be the man. They don't want to be

580
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:28,680
Speaker 1: the only man. And Tom Brady talked about that, carrying

581
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: the load as the quarterback, knowing you are the way

582
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: in which your team can excel.

583
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 12: I think it's very psychological, very emotional. When they've been

584
00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 12: in these situations, they haven't played the type of winning

585
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,760
Speaker 12: football needed in order for them to advance. Ken Buffalo

586
00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,080
Speaker 12: find it within themselves to play their best football in

587
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,000
Speaker 12: the biggest moments and looks. Some weeks they've looked great.

588
00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 12: The passing game looks great. Obviously, they're runners. One of

589
00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 12: the top backs in the NFL. And the way Josh

590
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 12: plays when he's playing and his rhythm, you know, he's

591
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 12: virtually impossible. MVP caliber season last year, and I thought

592
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,600
Speaker 12: he played very well this season.

593
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,440
Speaker 1: So I want to go back to the Miami Hurricanes.

594
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: So I remember when I worked at the other place

595
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: and I had said, yeah, I know Tim Tebow's forty

596
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,760
Speaker 1: eight and seven at Florida, but he's not an NFL

597
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: starting quarterback.

598
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:28,680
Speaker 3: Colt McCoy forty five and eight at Texas.

599
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: You're not building a pro team around Tim Tebow or

600
00:33:32,200 --> 00:33:35,280
Speaker 1: Colt McCoy. Maybe they could be a backup, but don't

601
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: confuse really great college quarterback due to what's around him,

602
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:47,480
Speaker 1: and really great college quarterback who is a great Sunday

603
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: quarterback too. Carson Beck's a great example. He is a

604
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:55,440
Speaker 1: classic great college quarterback. Good for him. He could win

605
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:59,280
Speaker 1: his third Natty next Monday. But this team is great

606
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 1: because they dominate the line of scrimmage and have tons

607
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: of perimeter talent edge rushers. I mean, did you notice

608
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,680
Speaker 1: how many times he threw behind the line of scrimmage

609
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: just getting the ball to these supreme athletes. At Miami,

610
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: that's the game. At Georgia, it was a dominating defense,

611
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: suffocating pass rush and good run games and an occasional

612
00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: really nice weapon.

613
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 3: That is not a knock on him. It's different.

614
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:33,960
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza leads the nation in yards per attempt per throw.

615
00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:38,720
Speaker 1: Carson Beck is twenty ninth. Yet Mendoza's got fewer picks.

616
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,799
Speaker 1: So Indiana has less talent, and they ask him to

617
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: throw the ball down the field more, and yet he's

618
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: giving you an insane completion percentage and he's not throwing picks.

619
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:55,920
Speaker 1: That's a Sunday quarterback. That's a build around quarterback. Now,

620
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza, you build a franchise around you. Draft players

621
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:02,880
Speaker 1: that fit him. Carson Beck maybe backs up in the league.

622
00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,080
Speaker 1: Seems like a great kid, great story arms okay, athletic

623
00:35:07,160 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: ability is okay.

624
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 3: He needs great playmakers.

625
00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 1: If you watch Miami's game plan, when you watch Indiana play,

626
00:35:14,280 --> 00:35:17,439
Speaker 1: they are going down field. They are throwing the ball

627
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 1: up the sideline, down the field, hard seam throws, hard

628
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:25,840
Speaker 1: flag throws. That's how they win. They're telling you we

629
00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: have this supreme Sunday quarterback. Who can make difficult throws

630
00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 1: not everybody can make. If you watch Miami play, they're

631
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: telling you, Yeah, Tony's unbelievable. Our speed is great. We

632
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:42,319
Speaker 1: just got to get the ball quickly to those guys

633
00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 1: and get it out of Carson Beck's hand. So the

634
00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,880
Speaker 1: game plans tell you where your quarterback's gonna play Saturdays

635
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:53,919
Speaker 1: or Sundays. Miami's game plan tells you, you know, it's

636
00:35:53,960 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: not that he can't make throws over the middle. They

637
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:59,799
Speaker 1: wanted to get the ball out quickly to playmakers.

638
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:01,680
Speaker 3: How Indiana plays.

639
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I was looking at this Fernando Mendoza at

640
00:36:03,960 --> 00:36:08,680
Speaker 1: Indiana and Col. Not exactly Juggernauts until this year. Sixty

641
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 1: nine percent completion percentage and first in yards per attempt.

642
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy. To complete almost seventy percent of your throws

643
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 1: at Indiana and Col throwing the ball deep downfield often.

644
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:27,840
Speaker 1: Carson Beck awesome college career. Could when his third Natty,

645
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 1: he talks about Mario Crystal Ball and the program.

646
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 9: I remember me and coach Chris Ball talking on the

647
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 9: phone for the first time. I was sending Jacksonville in

648
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 9: my house, in my room, and I just had a

649
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 9: big smile on my face, and he had a big

650
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:43,759
Speaker 9: smile on his face, and he said, like he said,

651
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:46,279
Speaker 9: let's get to work. And you know, I believed in

652
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 9: his vision. I believed in you know what he's been

653
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:50,800
Speaker 9: able to build here and add on to the culture

654
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:54,680
Speaker 9: of what Miami is and and I mean, what an

655
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:56,920
Speaker 9: unbelievable year. And it was never easy. You know, it

656
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 9: was never perfect. There's a lot of ups and downs.

657
00:36:58,600 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 9: There's a lot of adversity that not the I face

658
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 9: and individually, but that we faced as a team.

659
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 3: I mean, it's just a great story.

660
00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 1: Did you notice he also said this, this is what

661
00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:11,200
Speaker 1: Vrabel did, This is what Jim Harbaugh did, this is

662
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 1: what Sean Payton. Did you hear what he said? What

663
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:19,360
Speaker 1: a great culture Mario Christobal has built. That's what Barry

664
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,200
Speaker 1: Alvarez that at Wisconsin. He took over Wisconsin and it

665
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: was like god, they were bad. And he went to

666
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:27,400
Speaker 1: three Rose Bowls, one all of them. And Barry Alvarez said,

667
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:29,839
Speaker 1: why do we rebuild a stadium? Our stadium is great.

668
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 1: We're gonna add some paint here and there, but there's

669
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: got to be self belief. Barry Switzer is one of

670
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,440
Speaker 1: the great college football coaches of all time. If you

671
00:37:36,480 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 1: know what Wisconsin was pre Barry Switzer, it was unwatchable,

672
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 1: it was bad, and it's not great now. They were

673
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:47,680
Speaker 1: winning Rose Bowls when he was there, three different ones,

674
00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: I believe. So it is about building the culture. Now

675
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: you're seeing a lot of that right now at Indiana.

676
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 1: And by the way, Indiana was good last year they

677
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 1: got into the playoffs, and Indiana now is really good.

678
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:03,720
Speaker 1: This is not a knock on Kurt Signetty, who's excellent,

679
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: or their players. They have like seven and eight NFL guys.

680
00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,319
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna still argue Fernando Mendoza is the difference here.

681
00:38:11,840 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 3: If you put.

682
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza on Miami and Carson Beck on Indiana, Miami

683
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 1: blows Indiana out. I think Fernando Mendoza is that unique.

684
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:28,440
Speaker 1: His personality, his gratitude, his arm, his size. Not everybody

685
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 1: thinks that. A lot of people think he's a B prospect.

686
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I think he's an A prospect here he is. I'm

687
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 1: getting ready for Oregon tonight.

688
00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:37,680
Speaker 13: Actually a system that I follow that I go and

689
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 13: I really intricately do and make my system with my coach.

690
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 13: When I'm going to do that system, that means, Hey,

691
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 13: I've done everything possible to prepare for this game, and

692
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 13: so when I go step on that field, I am

693
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 13: confident as I know that my preparation is unmatched, and

694
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 13: I know that's the most that I could do possibly,

695
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 13: and so when I go on the field, I'm confident

696
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 13: that my process take me here and that I can

697
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:02,399
Speaker 13: compete at the highest level.

698
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly what you there are one of

699
00:39:06,400 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 1: the things I like. And people think I get too

700
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 1: worked up over this. What you say at the podium matters.

701
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts is not the biggest arm great at the podium.

702
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Dak Prescott is as good as anybody I've

703
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 1: ever seen in the podium. Than there are guys I

704
00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:24,440
Speaker 1: don't need to mention them that started fires at the podium.

705
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: Fernando Mendoza is on the podium. NFL All Star Team.

706
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 1: He's not in the league yet. Brady never gonna get

707
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 1: get trouble at the podium. You don't want to start fires.

708
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: You want to put him out. If you have to

709
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 1: be a little cringey, a little cliche, I can live

710
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 1: with it. Try to be authentic, but I think this

711
00:39:43,040 --> 00:39:45,359
Speaker 1: is who the Fernando Mendoza is night. I don't think

712
00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,359
Speaker 1: this game will be as good as last night's game

713
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:50,240
Speaker 1: because I think there is a gap between Indiana and Oregon.

714
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 1: I think what last night provided Miami was the physical,

715
00:39:54,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: raw talent squad. Ole Miss was the underdog with a

716
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,279
Speaker 1: ton of offensive firepower.

717
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:03,799
Speaker 3: So it just you knew in that game.

718
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 1: You're what I mean, even in the first half, you

719
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:07,600
Speaker 1: and I are like, this should be thirty to three,

720
00:40:08,120 --> 00:40:12,720
Speaker 1: and You're like, all Miss is just this wild come

721
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:15,200
Speaker 1: from behind, What a wonderful story.

722
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: Trinidad Chambliss is well.

723
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,319
Speaker 2: Miami also self inflicted wounds with the penalty. He has

724
00:40:19,360 --> 00:40:23,120
Speaker 2: some dumb penalties too, undisciplined stuff from college kids to

725
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 2: pick near the red zone from beck on the tip,

726
00:40:27,160 --> 00:40:28,880
Speaker 2: Like you said, they should have just been running the football.

727
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,480
Speaker 2: They're gonna run for two fifty last night easily.

728
00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:32,479
Speaker 3: Yeah.

729
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,600
Speaker 1: I don't like to criticize play calling usually and the

730
00:40:36,640 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. One of the reasons Mario Cristobal like him.

731
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: Likes him.

732
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:43,600
Speaker 1: He's considered kind of conservative. He's kind of a run guy,

733
00:40:44,239 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: uh Dawson kind of it. He likes to run. Last night,

734
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,960
Speaker 1: I thought he got way too cute. They were trying

735
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:52,279
Speaker 1: to flee flicker. It's like, bro, this is not the

736
00:40:52,360 --> 00:40:55,240
Speaker 1: time for a flea flicker. This is the last time.

737
00:40:55,640 --> 00:40:57,399
Speaker 1: Let all miss try to pull bows off.

738
00:40:57,440 --> 00:41:00,560
Speaker 2: Now they get to play in basically a whole game

739
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 2: in the National champions If that's kind of cool, Wow.

740
00:41:04,920 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: That actually helps Miami. I think Miami needs every little

741
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:13,640
Speaker 1: edge to potentially beat Oregon or Indiana and that that

742
00:41:13,800 --> 00:41:17,520
Speaker 1: that's for college kids home fields, a touchdown. I think

743
00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:20,040
Speaker 1: for college kids it's a big deal and NFL it

744
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:24,840
Speaker 1: doesn't mean much. All Right, blazing five. What a regular season?

745
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,839
Speaker 1: We had sixty percent. We begin our postseason blazing five.

746
00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: Neck
