That was Brady's U, Brady's pick. Yeah, 38 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 1: I don't yeah at a little underwhelming. I'm with you, 39 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: with you sorry, guys, So let me uh, let me 40 00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: ask you Albert, because we were talking about the benching 41 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: of Tuatakoba Low and he's the third quarterback and quin 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: yours is starting and Jack Wilson's the backup. Like my 43 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: read on it, was. This move makes me think more 44 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: so than before that Mike McDaniel has at least some 45 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 1: understanding that he's going to be back next year, because 46 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: if he was coaching for his job down the stretch, 47 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: I don't know how Tua would be the third best 48 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: option at quarterback for the team, And if his contract 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: is so unmovable because of the dead cap hit and 50 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: everything that comes along with it, this just doesn't feel 51 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,919 Speaker 1: like a move that means the end for either Mike 52 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 1: McDaniel or two after this season. 53 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, I can understand your logic on that. I mean, 54 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 5: I still don't know that a final decision has. 55 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 6: Been made on Mike McDaniels. 56 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 3: Fay, and I've sent to see. 57 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 5: Guys for two months. 58 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 6: Like, I think the barometer all along has been that 59 00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,079 Speaker 6: he still have the locker room, you know, And I 60 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 6: think that's going to be the barometer. 61 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 3: Coming out of the season too. 62 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 6: You know, can you reignite like that team under Mike 63 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 6: McDaniel in twenty twenty six and he's been able to 64 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 6: get Like last week notwithstanding and you know, obviously didn't 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:20,840 Speaker 6: go the way. 66 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 3: They wanted in Pittsburgh, but like outside of that. 67 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 6: They played really well since they fired their general manager, 68 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 6: Chris Career on Halloween, and you know, I think that 69 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 6: sort of thing obviously gets everybody's attention, and I think 70 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 6: the team's responded for the most part. 71 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 3: So you know, I I think. 72 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 6: There's a good chance he survives. 73 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 5: But I also wouldn't say they can just. 74 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 6: Roll over and die and he's going to be okay, 75 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 6: you know, over the next three weeks. I don't think 76 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 6: that's the case either. As for two, you know, I 77 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 6: hesitate to think that anything's final with two until a 78 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 6: new general manager's in there. 79 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 5: You know, we also have to. 80 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 6: Take a look at, like what the landscape looks like 81 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 6: from a quarterback perspective across the league, So like, can 82 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 6: they move his contract now? I don't think they're going 83 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 6: to be able to move at the number it's that 84 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 6: right now, which is fifty. 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 5: Four million dollars, right, But like, is there. 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 6: A team out there that's willing willing to take him 87 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 6: at twenty million or twenty five million or thirty million? 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 6: In other words, can you eat some of that money 89 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,159 Speaker 6: so you don't have to take on the full hit 90 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 6: and buy back a drast pick, you know, So that 91 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 6: could be one way to solve it, or you know, 92 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,039 Speaker 6: you can look at a new general manager coming in 93 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 6: and say, Okay, like we're already that's already sunk costs. 94 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 6: You know, we're already paying for two anyway, So why 95 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 6: don't we just use him as our bridge quarterback? And 96 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 6: that's kind of an awkward thing because he has senior 97 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 6: franchise quarterback for the last six years, But why don't 98 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 6: we just use him as our bridge quarterback? So either 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 6: we take one this April, we take one next April. 100 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 6: But either way, we've got a veteran who's been here 101 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 6: in the system. So I think there are a number 102 00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 6: of different ways they can go with it. You know, 103 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 6: I think right now, having been eliminated, you're sort of 104 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 6: going into evaluation mode anyway, and so like this gives 105 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,839 Speaker 6: him a chance to evaluate Quinn viewers, and you know, 106 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 6: then I think after that a few hours were to 107 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 6: go down, then maybe you get an evaluation of Zach Wilson. 108 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 6: I think you already know what you've gotten to. 109 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 4: Uh, what's the latest that you've gotten on the injury 110 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 4: front with especially in particular with Patrick Mahomes and Michael Parsons. 111 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 6: Sure, so, I so my understanding on Mike as it's 112 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,560 Speaker 6: a relatively clean tear, and they they are hopeful that 113 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 6: he'll be back to the start of next season. You know, again, 114 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 6: those things could be a moving target, and it's tough 115 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 6: to say, like, you know, less than a week after 116 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 6: the injury, he'll he'll be back on August first, or 117 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 6: September first, or October first, nobody knows that yet, but 118 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 6: but it does seem like that was a relatively clean tear, 119 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 6: uh LeVar, And so, like, I think they're optimistic that 120 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 6: they'll be able to have him back at the beginning 121 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 6: the last next year. Obviously, you know, like that sort 122 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,839 Speaker 6: of injury, you're probably going to miss most of the 123 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,119 Speaker 6: off season program and pieces of the training camp. 124 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 3: Mahomes is a little bit. 125 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 6: More complicated because the LCL is involved, and I you know, 126 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 6: my understanding is this is like week one is sort 127 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 6: of up in the air right now, and like that's 128 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 6: right at the line. 129 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 3: So, you know, are you going to have him back? 130 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 6: And I don't think anybody doubts, like he's going to 131 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 6: work his ass off to get back, but like, are 132 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 6: you going to have him back September fifteenth, or are 133 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 6: you going to have him back October first? Like, I think, 134 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 6: you know, a lot of that's not only going to 135 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 6: depend on, you know, how he comes out of the surgery, 136 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 6: but also like how the rehab goes. And so I 137 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 6: would say, like if you look at the two injuries 138 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 6: right now, I would say Mike has got a better 139 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 6: chance of being back in the lineup for the Packers 140 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 6: week one, then Mahomes has it being back for the Chiefs. 141 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 6: But again, knowing who Mahomes is. 142 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 5: I would you know, I think a lot of people 143 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 5: there would. 144 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:54,679 Speaker 3: Have been on him beating the clock. 145 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,960 Speaker 1: Albert Breers, Senior NFL reporter, Lead Content Strategies at the MMQB, 146 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,240 Speaker 1: joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. Get him on 147 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: ex at Albert Breer, What do you make of Joe 148 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,359 Speaker 1: burrows comments last week? This week? It just we were 149 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: kind of kicking this around earlier. It's it's kind of like, 150 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, the person back in the day on Facebook 151 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: who would just leave a post like, uh, just when 152 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,239 Speaker 1: just when you think you know somebody dot dot dot, 153 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: and they'd wait for everybody to ask what's wrong, like 154 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: what what is happening? Is he just not good at 155 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: this whole? You know, if you leave stuff open ended 156 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 1: and the media is going to run wild with it 157 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: or what. 158 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 5: I think he's just honest, you know, Like I I 159 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 5: I don't think. 160 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,440 Speaker 6: It's much more than that. Like I've dealt with him 161 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 6: enough over the you know, the time he's been in 162 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:39,120 Speaker 6: the NFL. 163 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 3: Like I think he's I think he's honest. I think 164 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: he's a good guy. Like I think he wears his 165 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 3: heart on his sleeve. 166 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 6: And you know, I think in a lot of these situations, 167 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: you know, there's frustration, you know. 168 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: And I and I think that's fair. 169 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 6: Look like he's been in the league six years. He's 170 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 6: only played three full seasons, and those three full seasons, 171 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 6: two of them got the AFY title Game. One of 172 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 6: those two he made a Super Bowl, and then the 173 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 6: other one was last year when he was coming back 174 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 6: off of a major wrist injury and threw for a 175 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 6: zillion yards and the defense was historically bad and that 176 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 6: cost him. So of course he's frustrated, you know. Of course, 177 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 6: this is something that is gnawing at him and eating 178 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 6: at him. And like I think, you know, like the 179 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 6: fact that the team wasn't able to kind of keep 180 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 6: the ship afloat to the degree they needed to get 181 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 6: him into the playoffs and at least give him a 182 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 6: fighting chance. I think frustrates him as well. 183 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: On the flip side. 184 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:36,040 Speaker 6: Of it, I would tell you guys, just from my 185 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 6: own conversations with him over the years, he takes a 186 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 6: lot of pride in being the guy who's changing the 187 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 6: Bengalis franchise right, and so, like he put their feet 188 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 6: to the fire on paying Tamar Chase and. 189 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 5: T Higgins and Trey Hendrickson, and you. 190 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 6: Know, you've seen some changes in the way the organization 191 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 6: conducts itself, and that they've extended their scouting department. 192 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: Which was really small. 193 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 6: They put up the practice bawl, which seems like a 194 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 6: little thing but with. 195 00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 3: A big problem. 196 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 5: And since Snetti, so, I think he's still at this 197 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:03,120 Speaker 5: point where. 198 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: He wants to be the guy who changes it. 199 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 6: He wants to be the guy who, you know, makes 200 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 6: the Bengals different than they were when he got there. 201 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 6: That said, I mean, you know it, could he eventually 202 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 6: get to the point that Matthew Stafford got to in Detroit, 203 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 6: like I certainly think so eventually. 204 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 3: I don't think he's there yet. And I think if. 205 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 6: I'm somebody in the Bengals organization and a position of power. 206 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,280 Speaker 6: My radar has to be up for it twenty four 207 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 6: hours a day, you know, and so I gotta make 208 00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 6: sure that I'm doing everything I can to put a 209 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 6: championship product in the field around Joe Burrow, so he 210 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,200 Speaker 6: doesn't get to that point of being Matthew. 211 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 3: Stafford in Detroit. 212 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 5: So I think there are some moving parts there, but 213 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 5: I don't think he's at the. 214 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 3: Point where he's gonna elbow his way out quite yet. 215 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: Abe. 216 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 4: The Steelers, some way, somehow find a way to always 217 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 4: be in the conversation of relevance. Now, this was a 218 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,160 Speaker 4: season where a lot of people had some very very 219 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 4: strong criticisms and not very far from you know where 220 00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 4: we are right now currently, but they sit on top 221 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 4: of the AFC North heading down the home stretch. What 222 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 4: what have you received in terms of just kind of 223 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:16,319 Speaker 4: the conversation points surrounding the Pittsburgh Steelers, obviously with Aaron 224 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 4: Rodgers and you know, the discussions of of Mike Tomlin 225 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 4: has this run its course type type deal? 226 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 3: Well, I looked engage the other day, didn't they my LaVar? 227 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 3: Like I thought. 228 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 6: I thought they looked like they were locked in, and 229 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 6: I thought that was probably as good as they've looked 230 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 6: all year, to be honest with you, and I I 231 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 6: mean people are quick to discount that, Oh it's Miami. 232 00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 6: Miami is playing really well, you know, coming into coming 233 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:41,800 Speaker 6: into that game. 234 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 1: So gang winning streak, yeah, I mean. 235 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 5: Like so, you know, and they completely I mean. 236 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,240 Speaker 6: They took them out, they took their they took her 237 00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 6: a breath away, you know, like it was twenty eight 238 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 6: to three, you know, before the Dolphins put. 239 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,600 Speaker 3: Some put them I call them some empty calories. 240 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,560 Speaker 5: Up there on the scoreboard, you know. 241 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 3: So so I like, I think, like what you're seeing 242 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: is like the evolution of a team that. 243 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 6: You know, I think that they've managed a certain way 244 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,360 Speaker 6: and I think is ready to, you know, at least 245 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,320 Speaker 6: give it its best shot now as we get closer 246 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 6: to the end of the season in January. Now, the 247 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 6: problem for them is going to be that there is 248 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:24,960 Speaker 6: really only I think there's only one way into the 249 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,439 Speaker 6: playoffs right now for them. They have to win the North, 250 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 6: right because if you look at it, I say the 251 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 6: Chargers probably have one of the wildcards. Then I would 252 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 6: say either the Texas or Jaguars, whoever doesn't win the 253 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 6: South is probably going to be another wildcard and then 254 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 6: either the Patriots or Bills, whoever doesn't win the East 255 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 6: is going to be the third wildcard. 256 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 5: So but the only way they're going to be able to. 257 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 6: Get in is to win the North, and that's in 258 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,079 Speaker 6: front of them now. But if they get in, I mean, 259 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 6: I like what I saw the other night was the 260 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 6: defense that was playing faster and even without TJ. Watt 261 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 6: out there right which they hope they get TJ. Watt pass, 262 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 6: and then offensively that's the most comfortable And Aaron Rodgers has 263 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,319 Speaker 6: looked in a couple of years to me, and I 264 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 6: had somebody point this out to me. 265 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 3: I thought it was really interesting. 266 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 6: You know, if you go back and you look at 267 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,319 Speaker 6: Brady and Manning at the end of their careers, right 268 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 6: like great quarterbacks, those are Aaron's contemporaries. Those guys would 269 00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 6: always be at their best when they had veteran receivers 270 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 6: around them, right like guys that they felt comfortable with, 271 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:23,439 Speaker 6: Guys where I know He's going to be in the 272 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 6: right spot. Look at the group that was out there 273 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 6: with with Aaron, It's much different than the group that 274 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 6: was out there with them three months ago. 275 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 3: It was DK Metcalf. 276 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 5: It was Adam Ceelin. 277 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 6: It was Marcus Valdez Scantling who he played with and 278 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 6: you know in in Green Bay. 279 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, so like you have like all these. 280 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 6: Guys who I think Aaron feels like he can trust. 281 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 6: And so now you see him playing in rhythm, the 282 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 6: balls coming out quicker. 283 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 3: He's taking fewer hits. 284 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 6: It's just I'm really interested to see what this looks like, 285 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 6: you know, if. 286 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 3: They can get in. 287 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 6: So obviously like it's on them now to find a 288 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 6: way to get in, and because they haven't been great 289 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 6: all year, like you know, there's really only one way 290 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 6: to get in. 291 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 3: They have to win the division. 292 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 6: But they already got the one over Baltimore, and they'll 293 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:09,880 Speaker 6: get a shot at Baltimore. 294 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: Again in week eighteen. 295 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 6: And if they get in, I think, you know, they 296 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 6: become a team that's that's at least interesting going into 297 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 6: the playoffs. 298 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: You mentioned Baltimore. Lamar Jackson missed another Wednesday practice. I 299 00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: believe that's six weeks in a row he's missed the 300 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: Wednesday practice. This time it was for the flu. It 301 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: seems like he gets the flu a lot. Does he 302 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: have like the immune system of a corpse? I don't 303 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,559 Speaker 1: I don't understand what's happening there. 304 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: I don't know. 305 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 6: My kids are getting sick a lot, you know, like 306 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 6: when your kid maybe when your kids are young, they 307 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:36,840 Speaker 6: bring stuff home. 308 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 1: Right. It's just like, and I know this season has 309 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: not gone anywhere close to what they thought it was. 310 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: But is there concern about just how banged up he's 311 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,839 Speaker 1: been this year, how unavailable he's been. Is there are there? 312 00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 1: Is there long concerns? 313 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 5: I think there. 314 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 6: I think there has to be, you know, like I mean, 315 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 6: look like I like, the amount of of of carries 316 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,160 Speaker 6: he has over the course of his career is unprecedented 317 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 6: for a quarterback, you know, And so you know, I 318 00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 6: think this is always going to be the concern with Lamar. 319 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 6: This is his eighth year, you know, and and that's 320 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 6: eight years of you know, more carries than any other 321 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 6: quarterback in the history of football, you know. 322 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: So the idea that he would be banged up. 323 00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 6: The idea that eventually like this could catch up with him, 324 00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 6: I think has always been on the board, you know. 325 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 6: And I think, you know, because of the way that 326 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 6: that they play, like it's sort of you know, it's 327 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 6: always necessitated having Lamar involved in the running game and 328 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 6: so yeah, absolutely, you know, like I think that's something 329 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 6: that you know, if you're if you're the Ravens, you know, 330 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,320 Speaker 6: you you you look hard at and you know, I think, 331 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 6: you know, obviously you've. 332 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 5: Got your plan for this year and everything else, but. 333 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,240 Speaker 6: Going forward, I think you have to you have to 334 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 6: look at how you're deploying him, and you know, do 335 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 6: we do we look at pulling back a little bit 336 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 6: in the quarterback run game after this. 337 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 5: Year, you know, and I think for this year certainly, 338 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 5: I think, like honestly, guys, like. 339 00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 6: I think, like last week against the Bengals was the 340 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,640 Speaker 6: best he's look just. 341 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 5: As a runner and and and just. 342 00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 3: As far as how explosive he looks. 343 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 6: So you know, if you take that and like maybe 344 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 6: you hope that missing the Wednesday practice was just kind 345 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 6: of a freak thing at that time of year, you know, 346 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 6: when people get sick and and and and and you 347 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 6: hope that you can get the best out of them 348 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 6: going forward based on how he looked against the Bengals. 349 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 6: But you know, absolutely, certainly is something that you know, 350 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 6: you're I think you're you're constantly monitoring and you got 351 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 6: to be concerned with to to to. 352 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: Some degree, if you're if you're the Ravens, how will 353 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 4: Pete Carroll be judged by seasons in they have the 354 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 4: Texans next. I don't see that being a win because 355 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 4: the Texans are very well, Yeah, the Texans are still playing. 356 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: They don't get them in the last game where they're 357 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 4: getting ready for the playoffs and make rest guys, they 358 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 4: can get the Giants and they can get the Chiefs 359 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: without Mahomes. So they're potentially looking at a four wins 360 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 4: season Albert and well last year, I believe in twenty 361 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 4: twenty four the Raiders finish with oh yeah, four wins 362 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: last season. How do you handle things? Is this the 363 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,480 Speaker 4: one time where you say, oh, yeah, we won't fire 364 00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: our coach after the first year. We're going to actually 365 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,800 Speaker 4: give them time to try to figure it out. And 366 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: how do you justify that? Because to me, I felt 367 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 4: like you were in a good position to build off 368 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 4: of what you did in four wins and four twenty four, 369 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 4: but you get rid of the coach, so now you 370 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 4: got to start to do it all over again with 371 00:16:45,600 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 4: a new coach, and he has seemingly done the same exact, 372 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 4: if not potentially worse than what you saw take place. 373 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: Last season. 374 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:57,400 Speaker 4: How should how should we be viewing this as onlookers 375 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 4: to the Las Vegas Raiders. 376 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would just. 377 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 6: Tell you, I I know people there who feel like 378 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 6: they're getting fired, you know, and so like that's always 379 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,679 Speaker 6: an ominous thing when you know you you sort of 380 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 6: hear those whispers like that so and so or so 381 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:18,439 Speaker 6: and so feels like that's it for them, you know, 382 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 6: not the greatest sign in the world. 383 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 3: When when when. 384 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 6: When guys are starting to snip around at other jobs 385 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 6: and stuff, you know, so I you know, I think 386 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 6: that there's real concern internally that they are going to 387 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 6: be wanting done as. 388 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,879 Speaker 3: A staff and new owners just going to play into this. 389 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 6: You know, like this is not like the Raiders of 390 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 6: of of five years ago. 391 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 3: Even you know, like this is you. You you have. 392 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 6: Mark Davis still there, yes, but like you've also got 393 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 6: the you know, like and it's not just Brady but 394 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 6: the big money guys like Egan Durban and Michael Melvine. 395 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 6: I know those names don't mean mean a lot to people, 396 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 6: but there's been this infusion of cash there and you know, 397 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 6: like this kind of commitment to like, okay, we're we're 398 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 6: going to change the faith of the Raiders, and it 399 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 6: hasn't looked good this year, you know, And like, you know, 400 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,680 Speaker 6: the one thing that Pete Carroll was forty two years old. 401 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,440 Speaker 6: I think Pete Carroll's age works. 402 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 3: Against him in this case. 403 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 6: Whether that's fair or not, Like I think that's that's 404 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 6: the reality of it. 405 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 3: So, you know, I think they you see. 406 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 6: How the rest of the year plays out and where 407 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 6: that goes. 408 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,679 Speaker 5: I would tell you, like I was there in the summer, 409 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:28,360 Speaker 5: and it looked. 410 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 6: Like everybody was locked in and it looked like Pete's 411 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,639 Speaker 6: program was was getting ready to roll.

And you know 450 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 6: it's strange too because they they had like they had 451 00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 6: they had like pretty pretty decent offers on the table 452 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 6: from Pittsburgh and New England to trade for him last 453 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 6: year when the contract negotiation went the wrong way. And 454 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 6: that organization I think generally has been really good as 455 00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 6: far as like figuring out who to pay, how to 456 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 6: pay them. You know, they've obviously done a great job 457 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 6: identifying talent and developing talent and all that different stuff there. 458 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: They get a lot of things right, you know. 459 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 6: But this one, this one's interesting because it's not like 460 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 6: this is a free agent that you struck out on. 461 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 6: This is a guy you had in your building, you 462 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,120 Speaker 6: know what I mean, Like, and you made the conscious 463 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 6: decision after four years to pay him, and you you know, 464 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 6: you turned away like really really good trade offers for him, 465 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 6: and you know, like now this is happening less than 466 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 6: the less than two years later. You know, it's it's 467 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 6: a weird situation. 468 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 5: I think it goes the saying that he'll be on 469 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 5: some other. 470 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,439 Speaker 6: Team in twenty twenty six and what that looks like 471 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 6: and how they get there. I'm not sure whether they 472 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 6: can trade them, Like I think it'd be difficult to 473 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 6: trade that contract now. 474 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: So he is, he is healthy enough to play, He's 475 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: just not showing up. 476 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, like like I don't I don't know 477 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,080 Speaker 6: exactly where his health is, but I but I can 478 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 6: tell you this, like for a fact, like they thought 479 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 6: like okay, like and I'm talking like a few months ago, 480 00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 6: like their target was like week nine, week ten, week eleven, 481 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,040 Speaker 6: somewhere in there, that that. 482 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 3: That was when he was going to be back on 483 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 3: the team, but back in the roster. 484 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 6: And if you just look at the designation they gave him, 485 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like, I mean, the things 486 00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:04,560 Speaker 6: they did were in preparation to have him back for 487 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 6: the back half of the season. And obviously that that 488 00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 6: hasn't happened. 489 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:10,400 Speaker 5: And it's not like this is a team that's not. 490 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 3: Winning or couldn't use him. 491 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 6: You know, they've had a ton of injuries, like at 492 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,880 Speaker 6: the receiver. 493 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 5: Position early in the year they were without Kittle. 494 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 6: They you know like they didn't they They've had Pearce. 495 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,040 Speaker 3: All in and out of the lineup.

You know, is anybody interested in this 646 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,480 Speaker 1: crap that they roll out from time to time. But 647 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 1: they landed on a good one because a lot of 648 00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 1: times they'll schedule these out and you have no idea 649 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,000 Speaker 1: whether or not. You know, these teams are going to 650 00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: be good. You hope that they're good. You hope the 651 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: game means something, especially this late in the year when 652 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 1: the schedule comes out. So we got the Rams and 653 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 1: we got the Seahawks could determine the number one seed 654 00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:54,200 Speaker 1: in the NFC. This is in Seattle. Later on tonight. 655 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: The Seahawks are a point and a half favorite. It's 656 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: kind of the best two teams in the NFC. Yeah, 657 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,239 Speaker 1: like Seattle's Seattle's defense is real and Sam Darnold, I mean, 658 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 1: he hasn't played as well down the stretch, but yeah, 659 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:11,720 Speaker 1: you would, you would, you would think that this would 660 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,320 Speaker 1: be a game that would get him real fired up 661 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 1: based on the fact that not only is an important 662 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,440 Speaker 1: game for the team, but also for him because he's 663 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: had some low moments against the Rams, especially recently, Like 664 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: you know the game earlier this year, you know, Seattle 665 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,920 Speaker 1: was was down big, still had an opportunity to win 666 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 1: that game, but missed a field goal late. Like it 667 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 1: Just so, this is shaping up to be a really 668 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: good game. Puka Nakua, he was on Aiden Ross's stream, 669 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,800 Speaker 1: and there's some stuff out there that maybe he was, 670 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, doing a celebration that's like an anti Semitic celebration, 671 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:50,240 Speaker 1: like that was sort of the spell. Really it's going on. Yeah, 672 00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:53,240 Speaker 1: there's that out there. I don't I'm not well versed enough. 673 00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,720 Speaker 1: Yeah I won't either, but at least you know, just 674 00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 1: it's part of the story that's making the rounds of 675 00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:03,400 Speaker 1: some people. In my y, not mine either, But we 676 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:04,080 Speaker 1: can mow. 677 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 4: This one because Phoka Nakua mowed the hell out of 678 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 4: a law that I need to mob. 679 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you will mess with another one. He's saying 680 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:18,320 Speaker 1: that NFL officials that they they want some of that shine. 681 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: Let's take a listen, because there's just some of the rules, 682 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: aren't that. 683 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 4: Like, these guys want to be These guys are lawyers 684 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,120 Speaker 4: and relative they want to be on TV too, brothers 685 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 4: like the game, you don't think he's. 686 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:30,560 Speaker 1: Touching his friends and. 687 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,160 Speaker 5: The group chat like yo, you guys just saw they Sunday. 688 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,960 Speaker 1: Night football like that.

I mean, whether it's 692 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 4: true or not, I don't care. I don't really care, 693 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:50,560 Speaker 4: because I mean, a referee is a referee, Like you're 694 00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 4: always going to have built in personalities that are exposed, 695 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 4: and those are referees, you know, and it's usually the 696 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 4: white hat that that gets that type of attension. But 697 00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 4: who cares like that? That's a corny It's a corny conversation. 698 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:08,040 Speaker 4: It's a corny conversation.

It's a it's a cornball conversation. 709 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,160 Speaker 1: Is but you know, the NFL is not gonna be 710 00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,680 Speaker 1: happy about this, you know, because I don't know if 711 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,800 Speaker 1: it's a big deal. Well okay, but if you have 712 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: a player saying officials are the worst. They're just making 713 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: calls so they can get on TV. And with the 714 00:32:43,600 --> 00:32:47,200 Speaker 1: you know, gambling and everything that's been infused into the league, 715 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:48,880 Speaker 1: like the NFL is probably looking at this going eight. 716 00:32:48,960 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 1: The last thing we want is for people to think 717 00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,480 Speaker 1: this isn't on the up and up, Like we don't 718 00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: need any more of this crap.

We don't want 722 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: that to happen here. So I don't know if this 723 00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,640 Speaker 1: results in him getting fined. 724 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think he was. I don't 725 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 4: think what he was saying was coherent enough for it 726 00:33:13,160 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 4: to be of consequence. 727 00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: What do you mean by that? 728 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 4: Like it was just like you just you're you're poking 729 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 4: fun at the referees. There was no real substance to 730 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:26,600 Speaker 4: what he was saying, you know, there was no real 731 00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 4: like uh like valid information connected to it. Like it 732 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 4: wasn't like he was whistleblowing or anything like that.
