Speaker 2: Airtors here in the Los Angeles Tiracks Studios, jaymart In, Nashville,

9
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: jmart I was out last week one. It is great

10
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: to be back two, as we do every time. How

11
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: did it go with with the stick of Genius last week?

12
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Ernie Spanner?

13
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we went pretty good. You know, on the scale

14
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: of one to Arnie, where Arnie is insufferable, sure, we're

15
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: probably about a seven. Okay, on that scale, he was

16
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 3: fine for the most part. He was fine. He still

17
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 3: managed to upset the crew out there and disrespect them

18
00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 3: numerous times through the course of a three hour broadcast.

19
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,160
Speaker 3: But what that is is normal. Yeah, that's just a

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 3: standard kind of Arnie span your experience. So I had

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: a good time with him last week. It was three

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 3: hours that flew by pretty fast, so I can't complain.

23
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 3: I was all right. I'm glad to have you back, though.

24
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 2: Well, I appreciate it.

25
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:21,840
Speaker 3: Man.

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've been in and out a lot this summer.

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: One last trip basically here now, you know, you know,

28
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,479
Speaker 2: maybe one weekend here or there, but I'm basically here

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 2: through the end of football, the end of March madness.

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: I ain't going anywhere. So whether you love me or

31
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: hate me, or are probably indifferent, I will be here

32
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: going forward. And I'll tell you what, Jason Man. You know,

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 2: I was lucky enough to get away one last Saturday.

34
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: I traveled last Saturday, saw a lot of the stuff

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: that I know you and arready talked about, and then

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: to be home today. I know it's quote unquote only

37
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: the preseason. I know we quote unquote don't don't want

38
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: to overreact. It was really good to have football on

39
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: all freaking day. Yeah, it was. It was, And you know, listen,

40
00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: I know it's not We're not yet at that point

41
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 2: where where most of America is on the couch for

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: twelve hours on a Saturday or a Sunday or both.

43
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 2: But it just felt so good to have football and

44
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: by the way gonna start in a weird place. Want

45
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: to go ahead and give a quick shout out to

46
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: a couple people, specifically Andy Reid, Like, I just love

47
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: in this era. You know, it was funny as I

48
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: was getting ready to leave to do the show. I'm

49
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 2: here in La. I know Disaga, who will join us

50
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,920
Speaker 2: here in a little bit. Was at the Chargers of

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: Rams game. I just found it funny, you know, like

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 2: Sean McVay isn't even coaching. You know, in credit to him,

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: he's given his young assistants opportunities to call plays and

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,360
Speaker 2: do whatever and this and that. But Sean McVay, you know,

55
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,079
Speaker 2: when I was watching that game, he was barely anywhere

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 2: to be found. Whereas, of course Andy Reid has led

57
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 2: his starters play Patrick Mahobe's eight of fourteen passing ninety

58
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: three yards, including that behind the back pass. I would

59
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 2: just ask you point blank, you know, listen, you're a

60
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 2: fan of the Tennessee Titan or you're a fan of

61
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 2: Denver Broncos I should say you live in Tennessee, you

62
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: cover the Titans for years. Do you have a preference

63
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: on how you want your head coach to operate in

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 2: the preseason or is it just whatever any guy feels

65
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 2: his best for his individual team. You don't really care.

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 3: More of that. I mean you could easily say, oh gosh,

67
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 3: why would you put Mahomes in the preseason like he

68
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: needs it, and da da da da da. But I

69
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 3: remember Mahomes saying, either last year or the year before,

70
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 3: he likes playing some in the preseason, he likes getting

71
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 3: hit a couple of times, or just kind of getting

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: back out there. And who am I to tell Patrick

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 3: Mahomes how he should play quarterback or how he should

74
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: be a super athlete. I mean, at this point, I

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: think he's earned the right to do whatever he wants.

76
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 3: I tend to side on just I mean, be careful,

77
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,400
Speaker 3: but you can get bitten no matter what you do,

78
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: and you know, you can get hurt in practice, and

79
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: you can get hurt in a game. I don't really

80
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 3: I shrugged my shoulders either way. I think that what

81
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 3: Andy Reid does, and it's just what he's done year

82
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 3: after year after years. Fine, and obviously it hasn't hurt

83
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 3: them when it comes to what they're able to do

84
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: in the regular season and playoffs in the super Bowl,

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: And then you look at the rams, and I don't

86
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 3: have a problem with what Sean McVay does either, because

87
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 3: again I think you're right. I just think for me,

88
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: it's just subjective. Whatever that guy feels his best, if

89
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: you hire him and pay him the money, then I'm

90
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 3: okay with it either way.

91
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I tend to agree. And obviously it goes out saying,

92
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: you know, our job is to be critical of decisions

93
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,559
Speaker 2: of players and coaches and what happens on the field

94
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: and all that, but I think we also acknowledge that,

95
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: you know, Sean McVay probably has a better idea of

96
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: the day to day of how to run a football

97
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 2: team than you or I do. I guess the only

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 2: place that I find interesting I do think the young

99
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks is I do think it is kind of I

100
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: think it's kind of important to get the reps, even

101
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 2: if it's just Caleb Williams playing a quarter ja Jayden McDaniels,

102
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: not Jayden Jayden daniels, not Jayden McDaniels. Who's Jaden McDaniels

103
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 2: he plays, there's Jada McDaniels that plays in the NBA.

104
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,680
Speaker 3: That's what I thought. He's like Layer and the.

105
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 2: Fourteenth guy on the on the like Charlotte Hornets or

106
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: something Minnesota. Timber, Well, what am I talking about? He

107
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: actually plays Jada McDaniel's plays. I don't know why I

108
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 2: was thinking that it was some scrub.

109
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I knew his name. His name popped out to

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: me immediately when you said it. But yes, I know

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 3: what you were saying.

112
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,640
Speaker 2: Yes, that's Jaden. By the way, j A. D e

113
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: n not to be confused with Jaden Daniels the quarterback.

114
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: He played a little bit. That's really the only place

115
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 2: where I would say is you know, I I do

116
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 2: think it's good for the young guys to get reps.

117
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 2: You know, Michael Pennix has been shut down for the preseason.

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of interesting. But yeah, I

119
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 2: just I find it interesting. I also just I'm happy

120
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 2: that that we do have some old school coaches, just

121
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: so it gives us a little something to talk about. Again,

122
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 2: you don't want to overreact to too much from the preseason.

123
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: Tua got some snaps today obviously as a first string starter.

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, who we will certainly talk about later in

125
00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 2: the show.

126
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,320
Speaker 3: CJ.

127
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 2: Stroud actually played a little bit in that game as well.

128
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 2: One place I do think there's something.

129
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 3: Jason.

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's everything, but I do think

131
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 2: it's something. Was a game that just went final a

132
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: little bit before you and I went on air, and

133
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,040
Speaker 2: that was the Buffalo Bills at the Pittsburgh steel.

134
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 3: Was scoring fest.

135
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, nine to three. It sounded like old school LSU

136
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: baba back in the day. And yes, that's what I

137
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 2: was gonna say, is if you just see the final score,

138
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 2: probably you're not sitting there saying that was a game

139
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 2: that I needed to be in front of the TV for,

140
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: you know, taking copious notes from my fantasy draft or whatever.

141
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you this, Jason. Maybe I'm totally overreacting.

142
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 2: I don't know, but but I watched this game, we know,

143
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,239
Speaker 2: and it was It's interesting because you and I talked

144
00:06:58,240 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: about this the last time I was on air two

145
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 2: week weeks ago, about this very unique situation in Pittsburgh

146
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 2: with Russell Wilson and justin Fields where listen, I think

147
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: we all think expect or at least thought, that Russell

148
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: Wilson probably should be the guy to start. But it's

149
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: the weird situation where he has no equity with the

150
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 2: fan base, with the team, they don't owe him a

151
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: lot of money. And then on the flip side, you

152
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 2: have a young guy in justin Fields that you're trying

153
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: to figure out is this guy actually the future of

154
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: the organization. Well, I bring it up because the two

155
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 2: of them played today. Russell Wilson on paper eight of

156
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: ten forty seven yards. That looks good. Problem was he

157
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 2: got sacked three times, you know, really unfortunately looked a

158
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 2: lot like the guy that again I just mentioned you're

159
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 2: a Broncos fan, the guy that just you know, struggled

160
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 2: late last year or last year with Denver. On the

161
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 2: flip side, justin Fields again, I know, Pittsburgh only put

162
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: up three points, but eleven of seventeen passing ninety two yards.

163
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: More importantly, forty two yards on the ground. I don't

164
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: know that it's everything, Jason. I don't know that it's

165
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 2: nothing either. Justin Fields I thought actually looked reasonably good.

166
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: And I think it's going to add some spice to

167
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: this conversation coming out of this weekend and week two

168
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: of the preseason.

169
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 3: I mean it might, and it certainly will locally. I mean,

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,680
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh radio be lit up talking about all of this,

171
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 3: because that's what you do in the preseason. I went

172
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 3: into it. You just laid it out. I mean, I

173
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: said before, there's no reason to play Russell Wilson if

174
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 3: you're even close, if they're even close between the two

175
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 3: of them, evaluating them. I don't see any benefit whatsoever

176
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 3: in not giving Justin Fields as much as you can

177
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 3: so that you can get a good evaluation on him.

178
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 3: Because you've got him in house right now and you

179
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: have the opportunity to do something with him or make

180
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 3: a decision. Maybe he can be your guy going forward.

181
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: It's definitely a position that you don't know what you've

182
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: got at this stage. But Russell Wilson's washed. It's that simple.

183
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 3: I mean I watched it in Denver. You may have

184
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 3: even seen it in the tail end of Seattle, but

185
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: it was being masked by some other things that were

186
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 3: happening there. They got him for almost nothing. They wanted

187
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: to bring him in and see what he could do.

188
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 3: You know, he's a veteran guy that's won a Super Bowl.

189
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 3: He's used to winning a lot of games. Maybe that'd

190
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: be good for culture. I don't know, depends on who

191
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 3: you ask in terms of what Russell Wilson is for

192
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 3: your culture. But Fields, Fields is a guy with a

193
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 3: much bigger upside. He's a guy that's a much better

194
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: athlete at this stage in his career. Is it's not

195
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 3: remotely close, but it was probably always Fields, and he's

196
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,679
Speaker 3: the one that is young, that's still got a lot

197
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: of football left in front of him, that whatever you know,

198
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 3: might have whatever his ego or his just confidence level,

199
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,160
Speaker 3: whatever shots that they may have taken during a tough

200
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,760
Speaker 3: stretch in Chicago, you never know. I mean, he could

201
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 3: be a he could still be a gym. He was

202
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: picked early in a draft for a reason. He's a

203
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 3: guy that that somebody believed in and I think a

204
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,760
Speaker 3: lot of people believed in him, and you've now got him,

205
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 3: and you've got him on a team that has a

206
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 3: great culture and has a great head coach, and what

207
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 3: they do. I don't think that the preseason itself does

208
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,520
Speaker 3: much outside of just creating conversation. But I think in

209
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 3: house they already know that Justin Field is going to

210
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 3: be the guy that they need to be evaluating and

211
00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 3: getting on the field as much as possible in a

212
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 3: year where maybe they can't go to the Super Bowl anyway,

213
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 3: But I do think that they can be a tough

214
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 3: out for somebody every single week, and I think Justin

215
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 3: Fields is the guy that creates that electrifying play that

216
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 3: very few guys in the league can and can make

217
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 3: something out of nothing, and at this point, Russell Wilson

218
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 3: cannot do that.

219
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: I mentioned you're from the Tennessee. You live in the

220
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: Tennessee area. Obviously, Arthur Smith, the former Tennessee Titans offensive

221
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,840
Speaker 2: coordinator before he was the Falcons head coach, who is

222
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 2: now the Pittsburgh offensive coordinator, tell America a little bit

223
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: about him. And the only reason why I ask is

224
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: because with Justin Fields, Listen, it's never been perfect. It's

225
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: never been what CJ. Stroud was last year or whoever

226
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 2: fill in the blank, young Dynas at quarterback. But he

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 2: did win five of his last seven starts, you know

228
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: what I mean? Listen, there was a time down the

229
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: stretch last year where he was playing well enough where

230
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 2: there was a legitimate conversation on these airwaves from all

231
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 2: the great shows that we have of are we sure

232
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 2: you want to give up on Justin Fields to take

233
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: to draft to Caleb Williams that we're gonna be talking

234
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Kaleb Williams plenty tonight as well. But where Are you

235
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 2: sure you want to give up on Justin Fields? He

236
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 2: was coming along now obviously the last game of the

237
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: season really struggled against Green Bay. Uh, And I don't

238
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 2: think there was ever a moment where they weren't going

239
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 2: to go with Caleb Williams once they you know, once

240
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: they solidified that they had the number one pick. But

241
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 2: I just bring it up because you know that that

242
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 2: coach that that I'm not coaching staff, but you know

243
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith. You know what he's capable of, and you

244
00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 2: certainly obviously know what Justin Fields is capable of. Do

245
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: you think that's a marriage that can work? And do

246
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 2: you think that at the very least, like you said,

247
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh becomes a tough out, maybe to the point

248
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 2: where Justin Fields has looked at more beyond this season.

249
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 3: I think that's a really interesting question. I would say

250
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 3: there's one commonality with Arthur Smith working with Justin Fields

251
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 3: that I think if you're a Pittsburgh Steelers fan you

252
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 3: would like, and that's this. He got a guy who

253
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,079
Speaker 3: was kind of a secondary rehab project. He got a

254
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 3: guy at quarterback who had not been bad but had

255
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 3: got injured and got pretty much just kicked out of

256
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: town and ended up getting traded to Tennessee, and then

257
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,440
Speaker 3: that guy went on to be a top ten quarterback

258
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: in the league under Arthur Smith, who of course knew

259
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 3: how to utilize Derrick Henry. Pittsburgh still likes to run

260
00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 3: the football, and they've got a guy that can do it,

261
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: but they have not done a good job. They just

262
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 3: haven't had good scheming. They haven't had a great line.

263
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: They've struggled in that way. He's inventive at running the ball,

264
00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 3: even though I think he'd made a huge mistake in

265
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 3: underutilizing b John Robinson in Atlanta. But he took Ryan

266
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: Tannehill and he turned him into something coming out of

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 3: Miami when no one was talking about Ryan Tannehill. You

268
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 3: look at Justin Fields, Well, Justin Fields has a higher

269
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 3: upside than Ryan Tannehill does. Tannehill might be a better

270
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 3: just straight up pocket passer in terms of his accuracy

271
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 3: and things like that. But Arthur Smith is creative. He's

272
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 3: smart in the way that he moves guys around and

273
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 3: he finds ways to get his key guys the football.

274
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,719
Speaker 3: But he's he loves to use the tight ends. He

275
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 3: loves to get the ball out quickly. He doesn't necessarily

276
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 3: go deep ball deep ball, but he is a smart,

277
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 3: smart offensive guy who it just it was a bad

278
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 3: scenario for him in Atlanta. They just didn't have what

279
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 3: he needed. But he is a guy that has made

280
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:38,839
Speaker 3: made quarterbacks that are not going to be Hall of

281
00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 3: famers look really really good by putting them in situations

282
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 3: to succeed and giving guys targets. So if you like

283
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 3: what he'd like, if you like what Ryan Tannehill's second

284
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 3: act look like, then you know that Arthur Smith is

285
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 3: capable of something with a rehab project.

286
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an interesting point. You could see a lot

287
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: of parallels between where Ryan Tannehill was at his career

288
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,839
Speaker 2: and Arthur Smith got him where Justin Fields is at

289
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 2: his career right now. Again, if you're just looking at

290
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,599
Speaker 2: the box score, probably doesn't jump out that this was

291
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: a I think sort of meaningful moment for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

292
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:17,000
Speaker 2: And again, I think to the point Jason made earlier,

293
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 2: to the point you made earlier, j Mart, I think

294
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 2: the Steelers they know what the answer is long term,

295
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: They're probably looking for reasons to give Justin Fields a

296
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 2: benefit of the doubt because obviously again you want to

297
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 2: see what you have in him. And the other thing too,

298
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: really quick we come back and talk some other stuff.

299
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 2: But you know, Mike Tomlin like older dude had Big

300
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: Ben forever. I think the other thing is, and I'm

301
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 2: just thinking about this in real time, like does he

302
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,760
Speaker 2: really want to restart the clock with another quarterback again?

303
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 2: You know, I mean you just went through the Kenny

304
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: Pickett experience that didn't work. Again. I'm not saying Justin

305
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 2: Fields is the guy, but I think you're hoping that

306
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 2: you have enough so you don't have to go into

307
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:00,960
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty five draft and draft another quarterbacks. Start

308
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 2: that process again. Hope it works out, Hope you get

309
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: the right guy. So we will see with Justin Fields.

310
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,160

338
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio. Here Torris day Smartin

339
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Tyraq dot com studios. You just

340
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,200
Speaker 2: heard a bear of calls from another preseason game on Saturday,

341
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: this one coming from Soldier Field in Chicago. Chicago Bears

342
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: beat the Cincinnati Bagels twenty seven to three. Of course,

343
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,640
Speaker 2: scores kind of meaningless in the preseason, but I bring

344
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 2: it up because you know what wasn't meaningless some very

345
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 2: intriguing play and plays from Caleb Williams. You heard both

346
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,480
Speaker 2: of those plays courtesy of our buddy Iowa Sam. So

347
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 2: thank you Iowa Sam for your help there. The first

348
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: a deep pass which set up a field goal for

349
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. The second one a Caleb Williams seven

350
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: yard touchdown run that was much more than seven yards

351
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: on the ground, Jamrt. I'll tell you this a little

352
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 2: bit later in the show. We're gonna talk Deon Sanders.

353
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 2: But the reason I'm asking is because, to quote Coach Prime,

354
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: do you believe, J Mart? Do you believe that Caleb

355
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 2: Williams is the guy and is finally going to be

356
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,159
Speaker 2: the guy that the Chicago Bears and their fans have

357
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: been waiting so long for at the quarterback position.

358
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 3: Yes, but not because of anything I saw today.

359
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,359
Speaker 7: What a.

360
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: Too amazing plays, Jmart.

361
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 3: Yes, but I'm not basing anything on what I see

362
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:26,520
Speaker 3: in the presee. I know this is going to sound

363
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:31,840
Speaker 3: like wet blanket material, and I'm good with that. No highs,

364
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:34,959
Speaker 3: no lows for me in the preseason. I'm just I'm

365
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 3: gonna stay very even keeled. If you're a Bears fan then,

366
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: and any fan that their guy goes out there and

367
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 3: plays well, feel free to get excited about that, get

368
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 3: hyped because this is a season of hype. But I'm

369
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 3: gonna say something else to you. Hype makes you dumb.

370
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 3: You gotta be real careful with hype. You gotta be

371
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 3: real careful about hyping up that movie and going to

372
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 3: see it and it turns out to be a dud.

373
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 3: You gotta be real careful about hyping up the final

374
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 3: season a Game of Thrones only to discover oops, they

375
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,239
Speaker 3: actually didn't have a plan for how they were going

376
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 3: to finish this show. I'm not suggesting anything in terms

377
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 3: of Caleb Williams hype. I'm saying that because he made

378
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 3: a crazy throw, which is very similar to some of

379
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 3: the stuff we saw at Oklahoma, some of the stuff

380
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 3: we saw at US seats. Why is the number one

381
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 3: pick and the run? That's what I expected to see

382
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 3: from Caleb Williams. So it's not a bad thing. It's

383
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 3: just there's nothing that he can do in the preseason

384
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 3: that's gonna move the needle for me either way. CJ Stroud,

385
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 3: who may have had the best rookie season of quarterbacks

386
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 3: ever had in this league fifty five percent completion percentage,

387
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: had one touchdown, one interception last preseason in three starts.

388
00:19:41,160 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 3: So I just can't. I can't get too excited about it.

389
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 3: That's just what that's what I anticipate the number one

390
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 3: pick to do. It's not like the numbers just iepopped.

391
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 3: But you saw, you saw some flashes, you saw some potential,

392
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 3: and you can get excited about that if you're a

393
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 3: Bears fan. I was already on the Caleb Williams hype train.

394
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 3: But nothing to happen in a preseason. I allow myself

395
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 3: to turn into a sucker for.

396
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 2: It's tough because I sort of agree with you, like

397
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: like you know if again, and I think this was

398
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 2: part of the problem even with Caleb last year, was that,

399
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,840
Speaker 2: you know, he had great individual highlights, but obviously look

400
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,639
Speaker 2: that the games, you know, the results weren't what they

401
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 2: needed to be. And even if you look today, six

402
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 2: of thirteen, passing seventy five yards and five and a

403
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,119
Speaker 2: half yards per completion. So I mean, when you factor

404
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 2: in the deep ball to Romadonsa, you know, you start

405
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 2: to realize that there wasn't a lot there otherwise I

406
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: am excited. I guess I'm with you.

407
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 3: I I you know, I know I'm not trying to

408
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: ruin your excitement. I'm really not. Like I've been watching

409
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: a lot of preseason. I got a preseason on now.

410
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,200
Speaker 3: One of the weirdest things that I've experienced in a

411
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 3: while is us coming back from that break and playing

412
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 3: that highlight of Caleb Williams running that ball in at

413
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,440
Speaker 3: the same time that highlight was playing in the midst

414
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,679
Speaker 3: of this Dallas Raiders game that I have on right

415
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,200
Speaker 3: now at the like basically step first step with what

416
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 3: I was listening to on FSR. So that was strange.

417
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 3: Like I've been watching this stuff too. I enjoyed watching it.

418
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: I just kind of watch it. I just watched it

419
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 3: like an exhibition. I don't I don't take too much

420
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,280
Speaker 3: from it. I just I need to see this happen

421
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 3: in the regular season. The more good stuff I see

422
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: from him and from Jaydon Daniels and from bow Knicks

423
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 3: and anybody that's out there. That's gonna get me more

424
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,639
Speaker 3: hype for the season, but it's not gonna make me.

425
00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:30,119
Speaker 3: It's not gonna affect how I feel like the regular

426
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 3: season is gonna go, if that makes any sense.

427
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 2: By the way, that's just great producing from Ian and

428
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:36,159
Speaker 2: Iowa samback there.

429
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 3: He's master so he is.

430
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,920
Speaker 2: No, he's got those Uh, i'd say magic fingertips what

431
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: it deals wildly inappropriately.

432
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 3: I feel like I feel like he has better offense

433
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 3: than Brian Farrens.

434
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,080
Speaker 2: Whoa, what about Brian Dable. We'll talk about it.

435
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 3: No, it's not hard to do that, right.

436
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, So what he said I was saying was

437
00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: that the Caleb Williams highlight that you played of the

438
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 2: of the touchdown run was in lockstep with what was

439
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 2: on his TV at that exact moment. Oh so glorious.

440
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 3: Yeah.

441
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 2: So, I don't want to say that NFL Network is

442
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,720
Speaker 2: completely ripping off our show, but I'm not not saying

443
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 2: it's what you got the full Imax experience there, that's right.

444
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 3: Except I got the ie of what's Sam experience?

445
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:13,399
Speaker 6: There?

446
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 2: You go, the Iowa Sam Max experience. I love it

447
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 2: so Kalb. By the way, I was saying, do you

448
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 2: have any hot Kleb Williams takes before I share my own?

449
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 8: Or I don't really, although I did read and this

450
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 8: is probably about a week old news now that he's

451
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,639
Speaker 8: going to be doing the TB twelve diet, which we

452
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 8: discussed on the Doug Gottlieb Show in brief last Wednesday,

453
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:34,760
Speaker 8: and just whether or not we could do the diet.

454
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 8: I couldn't personally, so good for him if he's a

455
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 8: frail little you know, a little stick in about two months,

456
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 8: then you know, at least he feels great, you know,

457
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 8: because you're not eating beans.

458
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:47,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I couldn't do the TV twelve diet.

459
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 8: Have you have you read about what? Really it's what

460
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 8: you can't eat. They should show you what you can

461
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 8: eat if you have a and if you have a

462
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 8: chef that makes a little easier too, but it's a

463
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 8: lot of what you cannot eat, and it's very depressing.

464
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 8: I know that the vodka is in very high up

465
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 8: on the list, and you know, I like a couple

466
00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 8: of those, and it's like the number one thing you're

467
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 8: supposed to stand from is like alcohol, and then sugar

468
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 8: and other things.

469
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 2: So yeah, no, so well that is and I did

470
00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 2: not know that. I don't actually know how I feel

471
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,359
Speaker 2: about that, but I actually, I hate to say it.

472
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 2: I am with jamrt Is. I'm a Caleb guy. But

473
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 2: it's not because of anything that he did today. I

474
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 2: think it's because we have a basically a two and

475
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: a half year sample size in college of him being awesome.

476
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 2: And I still go back to last year. And I

477
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 2: know we've recited this over the last couple of Saturdays.

478
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,080
Speaker 2: I obviously wasn't here last Saturday, but you know, last

479
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 2: year and what was deemed to be a down year

480
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 2: for him after winning the Heisman two seasons before, forty

481
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: one touchdown forty one touchdowns total, including eleven rushing, sixty

482
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 2: nine percent completion percentage. I just think the narrative on

483
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:49,200
Speaker 2: him got so far out of control, and I'm excited

484
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 2: to see what he can do. The one thing I

485
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 2: will say, and I'm not you know, Jordan Palmer or

486
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 2: some quarterback guru, but I was. I was kind of

487
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 2: reading some people that are today and the Roma Dunze

488
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 2: pass was kind of a probably a reflection of what

489
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,080
Speaker 2: he does best, which is kind of keeping plays alive.

490
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,439
Speaker 2: With his feet while yeah, while also keeping those eyes downfield.

491
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 2: And so I am excited, I am I scent real quick,

492
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,719
Speaker 2: you know, obviously we'll talk JJ McCarthy here in a minute. Obviously,

493
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 2: I think we all expect Minnesota to probably finish in

494
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,440
Speaker 2: fourth place in that division. If you don't, by the way,

495
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 2: please tell me, you know if I'm found crazy. But

496
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 2: really quickly, what do you expect given that Detroit is

497
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: maybe the most talented roster in the NFC. Obviously Green

498
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:36,959
Speaker 2: Bay is on the rise. What do you expect from

499
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears in that division?

500
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they're going to be competitive. I

501
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: mean it's going to be a process. They're not just

502
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 3: going to go worse the first They're not just going

503
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 3: to go I don't think they're winning ten games or

504
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,760
Speaker 3: anything like that. But do I think that they're going

505
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 3: to be a much better football team. Yes, because they're

506
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:57,080
Speaker 3: gonna have a quarterback that, provided he's able to stay healthy,

507
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 3: is going to kind of start building. They don't necessarily

508
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 3: have all the pieces in place, but they certainly have

509
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,359
Speaker 3: better weapons than they've had in the past. They've got

510
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 3: DJ Moore and now of course you've got adn't say

511
00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 3: you've got to start. You've got a spark and you've

512
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 3: got I think a leader at quarterback for yourself. It's

513
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,480
Speaker 3: a tough division to go into in year one. So

514
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 3: even if you end up right about five hundred, even

515
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 3: if you win, you win eight games, you win nine games,

516
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,200
Speaker 3: I think it's doable, and I think that that's a success.

517
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: You just want to come out of this year with

518
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 3: everybody healthy and feeling like, oh, we're coming like you

519
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 3: remember the Lions the year before. Of course that's what

520
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: you're thinking right now. You're looking at a team where

521
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,159
Speaker 3: you're just Okay, this is a football team's going to

522
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 3: be good. This is a team that and you don't

523
00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:46,919
Speaker 3: want it to be like a Jacksonville. Oh they're going

524
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: to be good and then they fall off a cliff

525
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: the next year. You just want to feel at the

526
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 3: end of that. You just want to kind of have

527
00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 3: this feeling that there's a lightning bolt and they're ready

528
00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 3: to strike. And I think that that's doable. I think

529
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 3: that that's possible. It's gonna be some highs and lows.

530
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: Kayleb Williams is gonna be boom er bust here and

531
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,840
Speaker 3: there He's gonna make his mistakes like anybody else is.

532
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 3: But I do think this is the brightest future Chicago's

533
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 3: had in a very long time.

534
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,920
Speaker 2: Don't disagree with that. Chicago Bears get to win. Caleb

535
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 2: Williams with a touchdown run and a couple of sweet

536
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:23,440

00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 2: but rare that I can say this. I'm gonna throw

561
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: to a man that was literally in a stadium an

562
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,640
Speaker 2: hour ago, Robin elbows with Jim Harbaugh.

563
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 6: What's going on, Steve Disager? Actually the traffic would prove

564
00:27:46,760 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 6: it was a little longer than that. Sure, I looked

565
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,960
Speaker 6: it up. It's twenty miles to get from the football

566
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 6: stadium to our beloved studios hour and ten minutes.

567
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,760
Speaker 3: I will tell you, uh, oh, well, I mean you

568
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 3: had to stay after. I mean Kaepernick's no, but who

569
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:05,600
Speaker 3: knows about the Sager? He was the backup plan.

570
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 6: I will tell you I could use Kaepernick as a

571
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,160
Speaker 6: backup quarterback at this point.

572
00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 3: Yikes.

573
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,720
Speaker 2: Some teams have a backup, some clearly do not.

574
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 3: Some have a backup, and some have Eastern stick.

575
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:22,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, and Luis Perez and somebody they drafted they've already cut.

576
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, Louis doesn't sound real.

577
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 2: That's that sounds like made like one of the great

578
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 2: Spring league quarterbacks.

579
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 6: And I've said.

580
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 2: Adrian Martinez younger cousin, yeah nine, I know. But what

581
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: the Saint Louis BattleHawks, let me tell you he was

582
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:37,119
Speaker 2: really good this year.

583
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 6: Or Birmingham or whoever it was. But we'll get to

584
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,200
Speaker 6: football at a moment. But there is one baseball game

585
00:28:43,240 --> 00:28:45,720
Speaker 6: still going and the Braves are killing it in an Anaheim.

586
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 6: It is now nine to two Atlanta over the Angels,

587
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,200
Speaker 6: and Chris Sale has ten strikeouts. It is six innings

588
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,080
Speaker 6: of work. What a season for him.

589
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: Have been a great year for my Braves, but it's

590
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 3: sure has been in terms of that acquisition.

591
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 6: But they're a little better than the Mets. Point so

592
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 6: you know, some of us work with a Mets fan

593
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,520
Speaker 6: on weeknights. So as long as you can say a

594
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 6: little better than the Mets, your team is fine. The

595
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,280
Speaker 6: Atlanta Braves, I'll just put it in the wing column

596
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 6: for tonight, and that will put them at sixty five

597
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 6: and fifty eight as we head toured the September Pennant Race.

598
00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 6: But Marcellos sooner, my goodness, three for three three RBIs tonight.

599
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 6: That included the three run homer in the first inning.

600
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 6: Osuna has thirty six homers and ninety three RBIs everything

601
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 6: else final. It was on Fox TV tonight from Saint Louis.

602
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 6: The Cardinals beat the Dodgers five two. Meanwhile, the Padres

603
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 6: won again eight three at Colorado, and in that one

604
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 6: Manny Machado had four hits. Among the many other games

Speaker 6: in baseball, Brewers over Cleveland two to one. Houston beat

606
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,920

Speaker 6: have a record of thirty and ninety four at this point.

608
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,479
Speaker 6: Twins won at Texas five to two. Orioles lost at

609
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,720

Speaker 6: a while. That was the bulk of the Raiders offense.

620
00:30:33,400 --> 00:30:36,959
Speaker 6: Final seconds before halftime it is ten to six, Dallas

621
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 6: in the lead. The Rams did beat the Chargers in

622
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,440
Speaker 6: LA thirteen to nine, and get used to these types

623
00:30:42,480 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 6: of preseason scores. It was the Bills winning nine to

624
00:30:45,720 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 6: three at Pittsburgh. Jets won fifteen to twelve at the Panthers. No,

625
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 6: Aaron Rodgers did not play again, and they would not

626
00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 6: say afterwards if he'll play in the finale next week. Mercifully,

627
00:30:56,840 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 6: there are only three preseason games these days in the NFL.

628
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: Phil other scores Bears twenty seven to three over the

629
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 6: Bengals and the Ravens beat the Falcons thirteen to twelve.

630
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 2: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve Sager, Fox

Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday Er Tours. Jason Martin broadcasting

632
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: live from the Tyreck dot Com Studios. Real quick, jmart

633
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 2: we were just talking NFC North Chicago Bears Caleb Williams

634
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 2: a couple of nice plays today. We're a couple of

635
00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 2: days late on this, so we don't have to spend

636
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: a ton of time on it. But JJJ McCarthy news

637
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 2: obviously a bummer out for the year, Torn meniscus. Any

638
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: quick thoughts on the JJ McCarthy news. Also what it

639
00:31:35,440 --> 00:31:39,040
Speaker 2: means for the Minnesota Vikings with Sam Darnold now the starting.

640
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 3: I'm in this thanks for him. I based on everything

641
00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 3: that we had seen, didn't look like he was going

642
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:47,800
Speaker 3: to be playing this year all that much. Maybe that

643
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 3: was going to change, but so maybe it doesn't set

644
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,240
Speaker 3: him back that much. He's at least gonna be able

645
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:54,840
Speaker 3: to He's going to be around the team, he's gonna

646
00:31:54,840 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 3: be able to watch and all this kind of stuff.

647
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 3: And you know, that has worked out for guys in

648
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,560
Speaker 3: the past, worked out for Jordan Love, It's worked out

649
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 3: for some people. The problem for Minnesota is you just

650
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,719
Speaker 3: paid your all world wide receiver who deserved every bit

651
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 3: of that money, but you don't have a quarterback to

652
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:09,920
Speaker 3: get him the football consistently. And maybe that change. I mean,

653
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:13,440
Speaker 3: Donald's not terrible, but I think at this point he

654
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 3: is what he is, and what he is is not great.

655
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 3: He's not a guy that in that division is going

656
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 3: to keep you competitive. He's just not. But and I've

657
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:24,920
Speaker 3: heard some other guys on our network say this over

658
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: the past couple of weeks just about the Vikings in general.

659
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, they won games with Josh Dobbs

660
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,920
Speaker 3: last year. Like Minnesota does have some talent, and they've

661
00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 3: got a head coach and knows what he's doing, so

662
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: it's not like they're going to go out there and

663
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 3: be terrible. But if you're going out there with Sam

664
00:32:40,640 --> 00:32:45,280
Speaker 3: Donald as QB one, you know your expectations have to

665
00:32:45,320 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: be measured. I just hate the set back for McArthur.

666
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:51,040
Speaker 3: You don't ever want to start your career with something

667
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 3: like that happening. But if he was not going to

668
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 3: be the guy this year, and if he's going to

669
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 3: be holding a clipboard anyway, then maybe get it out

670
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,120
Speaker 3: of the way now and then knock on woods, you

671
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 3: don't have that problem going forward.

672
00:33:02,760 --> 00:33:04,840
Speaker 2: Weird angle we could be quick on this. Is it

673
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 2: a weird blessing in disguise? I mean, one JJ McCarthy

674
00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 2: isn't forced into action, whether he would have been or

675
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,160
Speaker 2: not gets a year with the clipboard, a year to

676
00:33:13,240 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 2: kind of watch everything from a distance, and then to

677
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 2: the vikings obviously. I mean the counter to that is that,

678
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 2: you know, listen to it's professional sports. You're playing to

679
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 2: win every game, but maybe in better position. You know,

680
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,480
Speaker 2: they don't have a ton of needs. They obviously have

681
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:27,400
Speaker 2: their quarterback of the future, a lot of young talent

682
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 2: and other spots. But you know, it could be a

683
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:31,880
Speaker 2: situation where they get to draft high next year where

684
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:34,320
Speaker 2: they probably will end up with the last play schedule.

685
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 2: I could see it all kind of working out for

686
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:38,880
Speaker 2: the best. Again, it's it's a season ending injury. You

687
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 2: don't want that ever for any individual player. But I

688
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: do wonder if there's maybe some kind of silver linings

689
00:33:45,120 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 2: down the road.

690
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:48,240
Speaker 3: I mean, I think you're right. I mean, you would

691
00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,880
Speaker 3: never want it to happen this way, but that's a

692
00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:53,720
Speaker 3: good optimistic way to look at it. It does put

693
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 3: you in position in the future, and now you don't

694
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: have to concern yourself with when do you throw JJ

695
00:34:00,520 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: McCarthy into action. You know, win is too much and

696
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 3: win is too early and all this. You don't have

697
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 3: to worry about it. You know that it's going to

698
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,359
Speaker 3: be next year and he's going to be around the team,

699
00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:13,279
Speaker 3: he's gonna get to know them. He's certainly going to

700
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 3: have a chance with a clipboard to get better. One

701
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 3: would think a lot of times that has worked in

702
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,840
Speaker 3: the past, and you're right. If they come back and

703
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 3: they have a last play schedule next year, then you're

704
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 3: in a nice situation there. So I think those are

705
00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: all They're all positives that you could take away from

706
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:32,560
Speaker 3: a situation that you would never wish on anybody.

707
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:36,320
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy out for the year. Minnesota Vikings will obviously

708
00:34:36,560 --> 00:34:40,320
Speaker 2: turn their attention to Sam Darnold. And again, we know

709
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 2: that news is a day or two old, but we

710
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 2: were talking to NFC North anyway with Caleb Williams, so

711
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 2: it felt like a nice little button on the conversation.

713

Speaker 2: the Tyreck dot Com studios from the NFC North to

714
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:57,799
Speaker 2: the NFC East. One young quarterback looked really good today,

715
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,080
Speaker 2: another not so much. We'll discuss the both next. Fox

Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio.

718
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 2: Welcome back, everybody. Fox Sports Radio er Torris Jason Martin

719
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:15,040
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the TIREC dot Com Studios. One NFC

720
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:17,719
Speaker 2: East team is actually in action as we speak, the

721
00:35:17,800 --> 00:35:21,040
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys leading the Las Vegas Raiders at halftime in

722
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 2: Vegas thirteen to six. Unfortunately, for some reason, that game

723
00:35:24,520 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: is blacked out in La, so we are not watching

724
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: it in the TIREC dot Com Studios. Want to ask

725
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: you about two other teams in the division, though, Jason

726
00:35:32,120 --> 00:35:34,439
Speaker 2: the first one. I think I know where you're gonna

727
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: go with this. But on a positive note, Jadon Daniels

728
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: continues to look good starting quarterback number two overall pick

729
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: Washington Commanders ten of twelve seventy eight yards another thirteen

730
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 2: yards rushing. Based on your Caleb Williams reaction, I have

731
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 2: a feeling it's going to be the same. I mean,

732
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,240
Speaker 2: is that how you feel about Jaydon Daniels. It's cool.

733
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 2: I'm happy for him, but I need to see it

734
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 2: week one, week two, week three, week four and beyond

735
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 2: before I get too excited.

736
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, I want to see it in the

737
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 3: regular season, right. I mean, nothing they can't do more

738
00:36:09,440 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 3: than what they're being asked to do in the preseason,

739
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:15,360
Speaker 3: so I don't want to act like they shouldn't be

740
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 3: commended with what they're doing. It's just it's not going

741
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: to affect how I view them going forward, because, especially

742
00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,719
Speaker 3: in the case of the two guys we've spoken of,

743
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 3: we already liked them both, and the fact that they

744
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 3: come out and done some nice work shouldn't be a surprise.

745
00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 3: It should more or less be the expectation in the

746
00:36:33,400 --> 00:36:36,240
Speaker 3: preseason that even if there's going to be ups and downs,

747
00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,600
Speaker 3: that there's definitely gonna be flashes of special stuff. Here.

748
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:43,560
Speaker 3: Problem more for Washington, and it's sort of true. I'm

749
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 3: not sure about iber Flut's long time, long term for them.

750
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 3: I'm just not a big Dan Quinn as your head

751
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 3: coach fan, and that's Washington's. That's still my concern for

752
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 3: them is I don't know about that staff. I don't

753
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,080
Speaker 3: know how I feel about them on the sidelines. But

754
00:36:57,160 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 3: Daniels is electrifying and there's a reason he won the

755
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 3: Heisman with a lot of great quarterback play last year

756
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:06,200
Speaker 3: in college football, and he's a guy that I anticipate

757
00:37:06,320 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 3: doing some scintillating stuff. He's a special football player, and

758
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 3: I do want all these guys to come out of

759
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:17,080
Speaker 3: the preseason feeling confident. I'm just again, I'm not gonna

760
00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 3: look at the stats or look at this player or

761
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: that play and try to do it. I mean, I remember,

762
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:24,719
Speaker 3: I mean, what's the difference in a lot of ways

763
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:26,960
Speaker 3: that everybody who has played in the NFL has had

764
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,960
Speaker 3: some kind of a highlight reel play at some point

765
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:32,000
Speaker 3: in their career. I just again, you can't ask him

766
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,759
Speaker 3: to do more than what he is doing and what

767
00:37:33,880 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 3: he has done. Same thing with Caleb, same thing with

768
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 3: all these guys. Like look, I'm a Denver fan. Bo

769
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 3: Nicks looked really good in the first preseason game. Really

770
00:37:42,000 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 3: excited about it. Love everything that I'm hearing about it.

771
00:37:44,719 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 3: Same time, measured we'll get to the regular season, will happen.

772
00:37:48,040 --> 00:37:50,479
Speaker 3: I mean, he's gonna play again tomorrow. Maybe he's gonna

773
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,920
Speaker 3: look good again if they go, If Denver has a

774
00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:56,719
Speaker 3: great preseason, he ends up with twenty touchdowns or something

775
00:37:56,840 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 3: like that. Am I going to be a little bit

776
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:00,879
Speaker 3: more hype going into the season, Yeah, but I'm still

777
00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,040
Speaker 3: going to be measured on it because I understand the

778
00:38:03,080 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 3: difference between preseason football and what you see in preseason

779
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 3: football compared to the regular season.

780
00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 2: Let me ask you this, what if you see a

781
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 2: debacle from a guy who has been a starter previously,

782
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,680
Speaker 2: like we kind of saw from Daniel Jones today. Obviously, look,

783
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 2: you know, in Daniel Jones defense, he's recovering from ACL surgery.

784
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 2: Actually did not play in the first preseason game, so

785
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 2: this was the first time that we've seen him on

786
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 2: the field since November eleven of eighteen. Sounds good on paper. Unfortunately,

787
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:34,640
Speaker 2: two interceptions, including a pick six. Brian Dable after the

788
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: game saying, quote, actually, Iowa sim has this sound go ahead?

789
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 3: I was sim we had to play action pass call

790
00:38:42,680 --> 00:38:44,319
Speaker 3: a little bit of time, you move to the left,

791
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,600
Speaker 3: made a poor decision, backed up. What should he have

792
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 3: done there? Is that get the rid of the ball?

793
00:38:50,680 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 3: Quicker to go back and I'll go back and look

794
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Speaker 3: at it. We'll evaluate this what these games are for.

795
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 2: Okay, Jason, I have an important question for you. Pick

796
00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,920
Speaker 2: the thing that you hate in the world the most,

797
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 2: and then do you hate that more than Brian Dabele

798
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,000
Speaker 2: hates Daniel Jones. I just think Brian, Brian Dabele, I'm

799
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:15,040
Speaker 2: trying to give you know, Daniel Jones the better for

800
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 2: the doubt. I think it's pretty clear where Brian Dabele

801
00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,080
Speaker 2: stands on Daniel Jones. Is that fair to say?

802
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:23,040
Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I mean he's not. Let's just say he

803
00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 3: would he would not consider himself enamored with the guy

804
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,719
Speaker 3: that he is coaching at quarterback. Unbelievable. What do you think?

805
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:32,400
Speaker 2: What do you make of the performance that you know

806
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:33,400
Speaker 2: you heard the coach?

807
00:39:34,080 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 3: Uh?

808
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: You know, I think the coach is kind of in

809
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 2: job preservation mode. I think he's just trying to do

810
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: anything to get to next year and the opportunity to

811
00:39:39,920 --> 00:39:44,399
Speaker 2: coach another quarterback. But I mean, is it anything other

812
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,920
Speaker 2: than you know, you didn't expet necessarily two picks, but

813
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,280
Speaker 2: anything other than what you kind of expected from Daniel Jones.

814
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones is mid. He just is. He's a mediocre player.

815
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 3: And so that's actually worse.

816
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, yeah, that's a compliment to mid,

817
00:39:58,200 --> 00:39:59,120
Speaker 2: but continue.

818
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 3: He's just a He's a mediocre player. That's just what

819
00:40:02,280 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 3: he is. And they were well above what they should

820
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: have been a couple of years ago, and then they

821
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: paid him, which I thought was a mistake. He's like,

822
00:40:11,320 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 3: he is a bargain basement Derek Carr. He's that kind

823
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 3: of player. He's a guy that will be a journeyman

824
00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 3: that we'll go somewhere else and win eight games. He's

825
00:40:21,239 --> 00:40:23,320
Speaker 3: just he's not great. He does some good things, but

826
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 3: he's not great. I mean, Dable's voice tells you all

827
00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,320
Speaker 3: you need to know. He's just not very good. He

828
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: is not very good.

829
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:32,480
Speaker 2: The New York Football Giants fall to the Houston Texans.

830
00:40:32,600 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 2: Kind of worth noting in that game. By the way,

831

844
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. A bunch of the books We just spent

845
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,800
Speaker 2: an hour talking NFL preseason. If you missed any of it,

846
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 2: make sure to go back down to the podcast. And

847
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: we're actually gonna revisit the NFL in just about fifteen minutes,

848
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,680
Speaker 2: are so or so as we continue our look at

849
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:39,520
Speaker 2: over unders. Two weeks ago we did the AFC East

850
00:41:39,600 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 2: and the AFC North. Today we will look at the

851
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:44,399
Speaker 2: AFC West and AFC South. With that said, Jay mart

852
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: I do want to go ahead and switch gears to

853
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 2: college football, because, thank the Lord, we are now seven

854
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 2: days away from college football. The season opens week zero

855
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,440
Speaker 2: next week. A little bit of a quieter thank you,

856
00:41:58,600 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 2: I Iowa Sam.

857
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 3: What's up that's especially on this show in this timeslot.

858
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,560
Speaker 2: Yes, and by the way, for people who are new,

859
00:42:05,680 --> 00:42:09,120
Speaker 2: J mart and I are basically the official college football

860
00:42:09,160 --> 00:42:11,280
Speaker 2: postgame show. We're obviously gonna talk a ton of NFL

861
00:42:11,760 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 2: preview the Sunday games, but we come on at eleven

862
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 2: right after that big uh seven thirty eight o'clock kickoff.

863
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 2: We're on through are we calling it Big ten after Dark?

864
00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 1: Now?

865
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're calling it Big ten after

866
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:25,800
Speaker 2: dark or Big twelve after dark or whatever, but obviously

867
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:28,000
Speaker 2: there's gonna be plenty of West Coast games going on,

868
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 2: so make sure that you are tuned in. We'll be

869
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:34,360
Speaker 2: on again every week at eleven pm Eastern time, and

870
00:42:34,480 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 2: it starts next week with Florida State, Georgia Tech. The

871
00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:40,359
Speaker 2: Highlight or the marquee game of week zero Alost couple

872
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:44,680
Speaker 2: are intriguing ones, including SMU, which some people believe is

873
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:48,080
Speaker 2: a kind of a dark horse, interesting team as they

874
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 2: are now in the ACC. They're playing at Nevada. That'll

875
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,640
Speaker 2: be on during our time slot. J Mart Soabby Blunt.

876
00:42:55,719 --> 00:42:58,480
Speaker 2: You know, obviously, you know, I think most people probably

877
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:00,960
Speaker 2: have an understanding of this, but you and I, obviously

878
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:04,239
Speaker 2: along with producer Ian trade notes throughout the day and

879
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:06,400
Speaker 2: throughout the week on things that we want to talk about.

880
00:43:07,080 --> 00:43:10,520
Speaker 2: You told me that you have five college football hot

881
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,440
Speaker 2: takes that you want to get into or things that

882
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 2: you want to discuss. We could save some of them

883
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: for hour three. Why don't you go ahead? What is

884
00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 2: the first college football thing that is on your mind?

885
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,239
Speaker 3: All right? I've got my index card here where I

886
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,879
Speaker 3: wrote things down. I literally just went through the top

887
00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:32,000
Speaker 3: twenty five the AP and just things that made me

888
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:34,360
Speaker 3: kind of do a little bit more research or just

889
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,600
Speaker 3: kind of stop me. So here's the first thing that

890
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:44,040
Speaker 3: I wrote down, still the winner on October the twelfth,

891
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:48,880
Speaker 3: when Ohio State travels to Eugene and plays against Oregon.

892
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 3: The winner of that game is going to win the

893
00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 3: Big Ten, and I have them doing some really special

894
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,960
Speaker 3: stuff when we get into the twelve team playoff. I

895
00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: think both those teams will get into the twelve team playoffs.

896
00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:03,440
Speaker 3: But you want to talk about a game with a

897
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 3: whole lot going on that one now being in conference

898
00:44:07,600 --> 00:44:10,879
Speaker 3: and going to Eugene for Ryan Day and Ohio State

899
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:14,359
Speaker 3: don't play conservative against Dan Lanning or you're gonna get

900
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 3: beat player.

901
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:18,480
Speaker 2: Well, especially that game is again in Eugene, and I

902
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,440
Speaker 2: think you know what's interesting is, first of all, I listen,

903
00:44:21,920 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 2: you know, I wish we could have made the Pac

904
00:44:23,360 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 2: twelve work. It didn't happen. It's over. You know, we

905
00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:29,000
Speaker 2: don't need to, you know, mourn any longer because it

906
00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 2: is what it is at this point. But you look

907
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 2: at Ohio State their schedule. Now, first of all, I

908
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,240
Speaker 2: will mention and I'm not saying this just because Iowa

909
00:44:37,280 --> 00:44:39,359
Speaker 2: Sam's on the board, but they host Iowa the week

910
00:44:39,480 --> 00:44:42,600
Speaker 2: before Iowa was a Top twenty five matchup. That's one

911
00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 2: of those classic college football look ahead games. Listen. I know,

912
00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 2: you know, we all have jokes about Iowa's offense, including

913
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 2: j Martin just probably fifteen or twenty minutes ago, but look,

914
00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:56,480
Speaker 2: the defense was elite is elite. Obviously, Ohio State's breaking

915
00:44:56,520 --> 00:45:00,640
Speaker 2: in a new quarterback. What I'll say is, you know,

916
00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 2: I think a couple things stand out. One, I don't

917
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:07,160
Speaker 2: know if it's if it's gonna be the the winner

918
00:45:07,239 --> 00:45:08,839
Speaker 2: is gonna be the Big Ten champion, because I think

919
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,840
Speaker 2: there's a reasonably good chance that they could meet in

920
00:45:12,040 --> 00:45:15,560
Speaker 2: the Big Ten championship game, uh later on in the season.

921
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 3: But I'm with you.

922
00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:18,480
Speaker 2: I think they're the two best teams in that league,

923
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:21,040
Speaker 2: and I do think it's kind of a statement game

924
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,120
Speaker 2: for Ryan Day. You know, four of the first five

925
00:45:24,200 --> 00:45:28,359
Speaker 2: are at home. That'll be week six for them. Five

926
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 2: of the first six are at home. You have to

927
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:32,360
Speaker 2: go to Michigan State, which is not projected to be

928
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: very good this year, obviously with the new first year

929
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:37,520
Speaker 2: head coach. I mentioned Iowa is in town the week before,

930
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 2: but you know that's one where you know you lose

931
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:44,160
Speaker 2: that game, listen. I mean that's isn't that the Ryan

932
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,719
Speaker 2: Day narrative? J Mart, Like, we've seen we've seen you

933
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:49,680
Speaker 2: beat Rutgers, and we've seen you beat Indiana, and we've

934
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 2: seen you beat Northwestern. You gotta win some of these

935
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,600
Speaker 2: big games, in these big moments when the other team

936
00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: has as much talent as you. And I would also

937
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: say this too from the Oregon perspective. I think it's

938
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 2: kind of interesting because you know, Dan Lanning, like, I

939
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:09,160
Speaker 2: really like him. I think you probably really like him.

940
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 2: I think he is a rising star in the coaching business.

941
00:46:13,840 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 2: But I don't know that he does yet have that

942
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:19,360
Speaker 2: signature win, you know, zero to three against Kaylen to

943
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:21,520
Speaker 2: Boor when Kaylen de Boor was at Washington. Yeah, and

944
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, and it's easy to forget now

945
00:46:23,880 --> 00:46:26,279
Speaker 2: they went into that Pac twelve championship game last year

946
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 2: even after losing to Washington as a double digit favorite

947
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:32,359
Speaker 2: and ended up losing to Washington. Now that's a credit

948
00:46:32,360 --> 00:46:34,040
Speaker 2: to Kaylen to Borer. That's a credit to to to

949
00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,280
Speaker 2: the former Washington head coach. But you look at Dan Lanning,

950
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 2: it's kind of another one where he's got a lot

951
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:42,400
Speaker 2: of very very good wins. I don't know that he

952
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: has any great ones yet. So that is a very

953
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,319
Speaker 2: intriguing game. And I'm with you. I think those are

954
00:46:48,360 --> 00:46:49,880
Speaker 2: the two best teams in the Big Ten game up.

955
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's the first thing I wrote down. I

956
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 3: just it's gonna be so much fun to watch these

957
00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: two conferences with these new additions. And you know, I

958
00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:01,799
Speaker 3: think that there are two guys in the Big Ten,

959
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:06,439
Speaker 3: two coaches that the seat is warm. There's a whole

960
00:47:06,480 --> 00:47:08,200
Speaker 3: lot of pressure on those guys. One of them is

961
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: Ryan Day, who if you've watched it, listen to this

962
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:12,759
Speaker 3: show for any length of time, you know we have

963
00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:15,080
Speaker 3: been on Ryan Day now for a couple of years.

964
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,319
Speaker 3: And the other one is James Franklin. And I think

965
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 3: James Franklin this will be his last year at Penn State.

966
00:47:20,719 --> 00:47:23,879
Speaker 3: Oh that's not one of the things I wrote down,

967
00:47:23,920 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 3: by the way, but just throw that one out there

968
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,040
Speaker 3: for a bonus. I think this will be the year

969
00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 3: they move on because I don't think they make the playoff.

970
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 3: And if you don't make the team as a twelve

971
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,520
Speaker 3: team playoff, there's gonna be a problem there.

972
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, it's it is interesting because that is something that

973
00:47:39,800 --> 00:47:41,839
Speaker 2: is a narrative that I pushed back a little bit

974
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,359
Speaker 2: on and I do understand because I've heard a lot

975
00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: of the well, you know, I mean, no one benefits

976
00:47:47,960 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 2: more from a twelve team playoff than Penn State because

977
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, in whatever, it's something like seven of the

978
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: last twelve years they've finished in the top twelve and

979
00:47:59,160 --> 00:48:01,520
Speaker 2: would have made a t twelve team playoff. Like there

980
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:04,040
Speaker 2: is no team I think. I think the number is like,

981
00:48:04,080 --> 00:48:07,240
Speaker 2: there's no team that never made the college football playoff

982
00:48:07,280 --> 00:48:09,800
Speaker 2: in the four team era that would have made it

983
00:48:09,960 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 2: more if it was twelve teams in Penn State. But

984
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:14,480
Speaker 2: the counter to that is the league is now a

985
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 2: lot tougher. And again, you know, for people who are

986
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 2: not new to this show, you've heard j Martin I

987
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 2: talk about this. But for people that are new to

988
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:26,800
Speaker 2: the show, you know, James Franklin, it's not the issue

989
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:28,400
Speaker 2: against Northwestern.

990
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:32,120
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, it's it's never beat anybody good, never beats

991
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:32,560
Speaker 3: anything good.

992
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:34,880
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you I've been thinking about this as

993
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 2: I've kind of started to prep again. You know, I

994
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 2: go back to last year. Last year was the year

995
00:48:40,600 --> 00:48:42,439
Speaker 2: and I remember saying it at the time, I remember

996
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:45,640
Speaker 2: discussing it at the time. Your two biggest games were

997
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: against Ohio State, which I believe was as unstable at

998
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,279
Speaker 2: the quarterback position as it will ever be under Ryan Day,

999
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,800
Speaker 2: and then Michigan. It's easy to forget this. That was

1000
00:48:56,920 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 2: the game where Michigan flew to pay in State and

1001
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,840
Speaker 2: was not sure if Jim Harbaugh was going to be

1002
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:06,279
Speaker 2: allowed to be the coach. Yeah, they land, and then

1003
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,920
Speaker 2: an hour before not an hour, but probably two hours

1004
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:11,360
Speaker 2: before kickoff, they find out. You know, there was the

1005
00:49:11,440 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: talk of are they going to try to get an

1006
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,359
Speaker 2: injunction from a court, And I'm not a legal expert,

1007
00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't know how that would have worked. But you know,

1008
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 2: Michigan lands in Happy Valley, they're told their head coach

1009
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:26,719
Speaker 2: can't coach in that game, and so I just bring

1010
00:49:26,760 --> 00:49:29,200
Speaker 2: it up because just let's just talk that out Penn

1011
00:49:29,239 --> 00:49:32,359
Speaker 2: State last year. Ohio State's never gonna have a worst

1012
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:36,359
Speaker 2: quarterback situation. Michigan literally did not know who their coach

1013
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:40,600
Speaker 2: was two hours before kickoff, and Penn State still lost

1014
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,680
Speaker 2: both those games. So I'm out on them. And then

1015
00:49:42,680 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: the other thing I would add to Jason, I go

1016
00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,400
Speaker 2: back to what I just said a minute ago. You

1017
00:49:46,520 --> 00:49:48,720
Speaker 2: can say that you know, no one would have benefited

1018
00:49:48,760 --> 00:49:50,760
Speaker 2: more from a twelve team. Okay, but it's a different

1019
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 2: league now. And listen, I know everybody makes fun of

1020
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,040
Speaker 2: Lincoln Riley and USC, but Penn State has to go

1021
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,640
Speaker 2: to USC. You know, that's a game where listen, Lincoln

1022
00:50:00,680 --> 00:50:03,879
Speaker 2: Riley's team's gonna put up thirty five points. Now, maybe

1023
00:50:03,920 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 2: because Penn State's defense is so good, that's twenty seven

1024
00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: instead of thirty five, but that still means you gotta

1025
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: score twenty eight to beat him. And you know, I

1026
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,560
Speaker 2: think Wisconsin's gonna be improved in year two under Luke Fickle.

1027
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: You still have Ohio State. So and by the way,

1028
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,480
Speaker 2: at West Virginia first big new kickoff game of the season,

1029
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:24,320
Speaker 2: I don't think is a gimme. So I'm totally on

1030
00:50:24,560 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 2: board with you, with James Franklin and Penstack, I agree,

1031
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: by the.

1032
00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,120
Speaker 3: Way, on your take about the twelve team playoff, I

1033
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:34,520
Speaker 3: think you're right about that. I don't necessarily think about

1034
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,040
Speaker 3: I don't look at it from the terms of all

1035
00:50:36,080 --> 00:50:38,320
Speaker 3: they would have benefited or this or that. It's just

1036
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 3: it's gonna be easier to move on from a coach

1037
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,840
Speaker 3: who's not able to get into that field. Yep. Than before.

1038
00:50:45,960 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 3: And the thing that still hasn't changed for Penn State.

1039
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,480
Speaker 3: They can't seem to find a quarterback. But past that,

1040
00:50:50,680 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 3: right now, who's catching the ball for them? Like, go

1041
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:55,640
Speaker 3: look at their wide receiver talent that ain't gonna match

1042
00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:58,400
Speaker 3: up well in a Big ten, like they're not. I

1043
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 3: don't think they're gonna be this team. It's gonna go

1044
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:02,759
Speaker 3: win ten or eleven and get shut out like they're

1045
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,680
Speaker 3: like shut out of a playoff spot. I don't think

1046
00:51:05,680 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 3: they're gonna be worthy of one. I don't think anybody's

1047
00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 3: gonna be talking about them by the end of the year.

1048
00:51:09,680 --> 00:51:11,919
Speaker 3: And that's when the bloom is finally off that rose.

1049
00:51:11,960 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 3: Because here's the thing at Penn State. There's a lot

1050
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:16,960
Speaker 3: of dudes you can hire that can get you close

1051
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 3: with the advantages that they have. You bring in a

1052
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,960
Speaker 3: James Franklin to take you to the next level, and

1053
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's the next level coach. I

1054
00:51:25,080 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 3: think he's kind of about what he is right now,

1055
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 3: and that is good, real good at Vanderbilt, but at

1056
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,719
Speaker 3: Penn State. Eventually you kind of see through sort of

1057
00:51:34,840 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 3: the smoke screen and the politician of it all, and

1058
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 3: he can't win big games against anybody, and you can

1059
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:42,440
Speaker 3: get a lot of guys that you can overpay that

1060
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,080
Speaker 3: can come in and not win big games against anybody.

1061
00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: By the way. And it's so funny because I think

1062
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: these are all just questions that we all have about

1063
00:51:50,560 --> 00:51:53,160
Speaker 2: this twelve team play. We don't have answers to how

1064
00:51:53,280 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 2: is the selection conny going to view certain things? But

1065
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 2: I think one thing that you just mentioned, you know,

1066
00:51:58,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: ten and two has kind of been weirdly like the

1067
00:52:01,560 --> 00:52:02,360
Speaker 2: ceiling and the.

1068
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 3: Floor for that team every year.

1069
00:52:04,239 --> 00:52:07,600
Speaker 2: And and what I am curious about is it's easy

1070
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,480
Speaker 2: to sit there and say, well, I mean, ten and two,

1071
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 2: you'll probably be the third best team in the Big Ten.

1072
00:52:11,760 --> 00:52:14,440
Speaker 2: Well that gets you in the playoff. And it's like, well,

1073
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 2: if you're ten and two and you don't have any

1074
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:19,400
Speaker 2: good wins, you know, like like, does that nine and

1075
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:22,879
Speaker 2: three SEC team the heck does a nine and three

1076
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:25,279
Speaker 2: Big ten team? I mean, if you know, let's just

1077
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,400
Speaker 2: let's just and I know this is probably not the

1078
00:52:27,440 --> 00:52:29,879
Speaker 2: best example because it's probably not gonna happen, but let's

1079
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 2: just say USC is nine and three challenge themselves in

1080
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 2: the out of conference they lose to LSU, lose whatever

1081
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:40,920
Speaker 2: at at Michigan beat Penn State. So let's say they

1082
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:43,200
Speaker 2: have the head to head win over Penn State, a

1083
00:52:43,280 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: little bit worse of you know, of a win loss record,

1084
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,320
Speaker 2: but they challenge themselves out of conference and they have

1085
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 2: a couple nice wins to show for it, and so

1086
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:53,319
Speaker 2: this is all just hypothetical. But again, if you're Penn

1087
00:52:53,400 --> 00:52:56,120
Speaker 2: State and you're ten and two, but say you lost

1088
00:52:56,160 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 2: to sc and you lost to Ohio State and I'm

1089
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:00,440
Speaker 2: just looking at their schedule right now, that's a lot

1090
00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: of wins against Illinois and Indiana and Wisconsin that might

1091
00:53:03,680 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 2: not mean very much. So these are all fascinating conversations

1092
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,640
Speaker 2: about where we are college. But well, let me say this, Jason.

1093
00:53:12,800 --> 00:53:13,920
Speaker 2: I know we're going to save a couple of these

1094
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:15,080
Speaker 2: for hour three, but why don't you go ahead and

1095
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:16,719
Speaker 2: give me the third one? Because now I'm just fired up,

1096
00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 2: we got the music playing, I'm ready to talk to

1097
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:20,919
Speaker 2: college football. What's number three on your list?

1098
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 3: What is Notre Dame going to be this year? So

1099
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,400
Speaker 3: you had Sam Hartman from Wake Forest last year. Now

1100
00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:28,440
Speaker 3: you're going to stay in the state of North Carolina

1101
00:53:28,680 --> 00:53:31,720
Speaker 3: at another really good academic institution and bring in Riley

1102
00:53:31,800 --> 00:53:35,600
Speaker 3: Leonard at quarterback this year. I still really like Marcus

1103
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:37,719
Speaker 3: Freeman and I think a lot of us do. But

1104
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,440
Speaker 3: as usual, it seems like the expectations are huge for

1105
00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 3: Notre Dame, and the question is are they going to

1106
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:44,480
Speaker 3: be able to live up to it?

1107
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: So I find them to be very interesting. And it's

1108
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:51,880
Speaker 2: funny this kind of came up this week because there's always, historically,

1109
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,800
Speaker 2: you know, a couple teams that start ranked high, you know,

1110
00:53:55,920 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 2: and I think the stat is like one team that's

1111
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 2: in the preseason top ten always finishes unranked in like,

1112
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,880
Speaker 2: you know, twelve the last thirteen years or whatever. And

1113
00:54:03,960 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's going to be Notre Dame, but

1114
00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:10,160
Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame, first of all, first year starting quarterback,

1115
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,120
Speaker 2: this is the first time in a long time they

1116
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:16,640
Speaker 2: really actually lose a ton off that offensive line, which

1117
00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:18,520
Speaker 2: has kind of been their bread and butter. Obviously, Joe

1118
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:21,399
Speaker 2: All going into the Los Angeles Chargers in the top ten.

1119
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,040
Speaker 2: And what I find interesting about Notre Dame is a

1120
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:29,120
Speaker 2: lot of the argument for Notre Dame isn't like, oh

1121
00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,840
Speaker 2: I love their talent, I love their personnel, you know.

1122
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:33,920
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, even like Penn State. We can

1123
00:54:33,960 --> 00:54:35,640
Speaker 2: make fun of Penn State. Their defense is awesome, like

1124
00:54:35,760 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 2: nobody questions that, right, But with Notre Dame it's kind

1125
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,239
Speaker 2: of like, well, you look at the schedule and it's like,

1126
00:54:42,280 --> 00:54:43,920
Speaker 2: where are the losses? You know, they open at A

1127
00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 2: and M. A and m's kind of new head coach whatever.

1128
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,240
Speaker 2: That could be a tough game they play. It's interually.

1129
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,280
Speaker 2: They open against A and M, they close against USC,

1130
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 2: both on the road, and then the only other ranked

1131
00:54:56,360 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 2: team they play is Florida State, but that game's at home,

1132
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,279
Speaker 2: and so I just bring it up because with them,

1133
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of the hype with Notre

1134
00:55:04,200 --> 00:55:06,880
Speaker 2: Dame is well, it's just hard to find the losses

1135
00:55:06,920 --> 00:55:09,880
Speaker 2: on the schedule, and it's like, well, if your quarterback's

1136
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,560
Speaker 2: coming off of major injury, the O line isn't quite

1137
00:55:12,560 --> 00:55:15,120
Speaker 2: as good as it's been. I'm not smart enough to

1138
00:55:15,120 --> 00:55:17,640
Speaker 2: figure out who could trip them up. But I'm with you,

1139
00:55:17,840 --> 00:55:20,600
Speaker 2: is like this idea that again another team, it's a

1140
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 2: twelve team pa. I mean, there's just no way they're

1141
00:55:23,360 --> 00:55:25,399
Speaker 2: going worse than ten and two with that schedule. It's like, well,

1142
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:27,400
Speaker 2: sometimes it works out that way, but a lot of

1143
00:55:27,440 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 2: times j Mart as we've seen when again a lot

1144
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,000
Speaker 2: of the a lot of the you know, a lot

1145
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 2: of the hype is based on a week schedule. You

1146
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,400
Speaker 2: tend to find losses if you have a lot of questions, you.

1147
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,680
Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, and it just I mean, you're bouncing quarterbacks

1148
00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:44,719
Speaker 3: m and that always concerns me. It's like they kind

1149
00:55:44,760 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 3: of remind me of a team that plays in the

1150
00:55:46,920 --> 00:55:50,120
Speaker 3: NFL that's relatively close to them. They kind of remind

1151
00:55:50,160 --> 00:55:52,839
Speaker 3: me of the Colts, sure, because the Colts have been

1152
00:55:52,960 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 3: trying to find a quarterback. But they'll bring in somebody

1153
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 3: for a year to be like a mercenary. And so

1154
00:55:57,239 --> 00:56:00,120
Speaker 3: they brought in Hartman last year. That started out k

1155
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 3: and it just didn't work out as well as you

1156
00:56:02,239 --> 00:56:04,319
Speaker 3: would have hoped. And now that you're doing the same

1157
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 3: thing with Riley Leonard, but you don't have like this,

1158
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:09,400
Speaker 3: there's there's a lack of cohesion. Now some of that,

1159
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 3: you know, you lose Brian Kelly, you bring in Freeman,

1160
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,080
Speaker 3: so things change a little bit. Even though Freedman was

1161
00:56:14,120 --> 00:56:16,560
Speaker 3: on that staff, but eventually you have to find a

1162
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:18,719
Speaker 3: guy that's going to be there for a while. So

1163
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:21,040
Speaker 3: that always makes me question too because you're having to

1164
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 3: change a lot if you're changing quarterback, because so much

1165
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,880
Speaker 3: shifts based on the way that that guy plays and

1166
00:56:27,960 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 3: the way that that guy processes information.

1167
00:56:30,680 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 2: I think there's no doubt, and I think that there's

1168
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,480
Speaker 2: something to that is, you know, and then the other

1169
00:56:35,680 --> 00:56:37,840
Speaker 2: the other counter to that is if you have to

1170
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 2: keep going to the portal to get a quarterback, then

1171
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:42,799
Speaker 2: you know, are you evaluating and getting the right guys

1172
00:56:42,840 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 2: out of high school? And so it's an interesting conversation,

1173
00:56:45,760 --> 00:56:47,640
Speaker 2: and I think it's an interesting point is that this

1174
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,040
Speaker 2: is now whatever year two or year three, where they've

1175
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 2: done the same thing, and we'll see if they get

1176
00:56:52,440 --> 00:56:54,239
Speaker 2: different results. Tell you what, Jason, I do want to

1177
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:57,960
Speaker 2: come back later in the show. We'll continue the college

1178
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,399
Speaker 2: football conversation about an hour from now. But as I said,

1179
00:57:01,520 --> 00:57:04,520
Speaker 2: we have done quite a bit on the NFL to

1180
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:07,680

Speaker 2: we just talked some college football. Now it is back

1207
00:58:29,920 --> 00:58:34,360
Speaker 2: to the NFL, and as we've been doing over the

1208
00:58:34,440 --> 00:58:37,160
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, we are looking at over underwin

1209
00:58:37,320 --> 00:58:40,360
Speaker 2: totals for all of the divisions in all of the

1210
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:45,400
Speaker 2: National Football League. Sam, give us a little music producer, Ian,

1211
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 2: I want to start with the AFC West today. The

1212
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:51,440
Speaker 2: floor is yours.

1213
00:58:51,480 --> 00:58:54,840
Speaker 7: My friend can do all right, So AFC West, we

1214
00:58:54,920 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 7: will begin with the Kansas City Chiefs. Who's over under

1215
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 7: a set at eleven and a half wins? Aaron will

1216
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:03,959
Speaker 7: start with you. You got over or under? J Mart,

1217
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:07,280
Speaker 7: I'm actually this was actually weirdly hard for me.

1218
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:12,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm gonna go over and let me explain

1219
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:18,720
Speaker 2: why is because we remember that debacle from a year ago. Oh,

1220
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs. They're totally falling apart. Went four

1221
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:26,800
Speaker 2: and four in their last eight regular season games, and

1222
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: you know what they did, they went eleven and six,

1223
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:33,560
Speaker 2: and I just look at it. I don't think it's

1224
00:59:33,640 --> 00:59:36,680
Speaker 2: going to be worse. You know, they've kind of figured out.

1225
00:59:36,720 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 2: First of all, they're obviously coming off a Super Bowl.

1226
00:59:38,880 --> 00:59:41,240
Speaker 2: They've kind of figured out who they are. Mahomes is

1227
00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 2: still very much just now entering his prime. The wide

1228
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 2: receiver position, which was obviously a weakness, has now been

1229
00:59:47,560 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 2: figured out to a degree. He zave you're worthy. Every

1230
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:52,200
Speaker 2: time I turn on social media, he's making another highlight.

1231
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:56,440
Speaker 2: So you know, I don't think this is like fifteen

1232
00:59:56,560 --> 01:00:00,919
Speaker 2: and two historic stuff type season. But if you're telling

1233
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,959
Speaker 2: me that last year was a disaster at eleven and six,

1234
01:00:04,840 --> 01:00:06,440
Speaker 2: is it gonna be better? I think it's gonna be.

1235
01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: So I'm going twelve and five and I'm taking the

1236
01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:08,960
Speaker 2: over here.

1237
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:11,560
Speaker 3: Man, That's exactly what I had. I literally had twelve

1238
01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,360
Speaker 3: and five when I was eyeballing the schedule. I think

1239
01:00:14,400 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 3: you could start zho and two because you're playing against

1240
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,919
Speaker 3: Baltimore and Cincinnati, And I factored that in and said,

1241
01:00:20,920 --> 01:00:23,080
Speaker 3: all right, let's start oh in two. I think you

1242
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,640
Speaker 3: beat the Falcons. I think you beat the Chargers. I

1243
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 3: think you beat the Saints. Forty nine Ers is a

1244
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,160
Speaker 3: tough game. So let's say you're three and three right there.

1245
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,480
Speaker 3: Then you get Raiders, Bucks Broncos. I think you can

1246
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,640
Speaker 3: win all three of those games. You go to Buffalo,

1247
01:00:35,800 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 3: that's tough, but I like your chances quite frankly. Then

1248
01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:42,640
Speaker 3: you play Carolina and the Raiders again, I think, like

1249
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 3: I literally came up with twelve and five. That's exactly

1250
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,400
Speaker 3: the way I see it. They could win more than twelve.

1251
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 3: I don't see them winning less than twelve.

1252
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 2: All Right, we both have Kansas Chiefs going over eleven

1253
01:00:55,520 --> 01:00:58,640
Speaker 2: and a half wins. We are in agreement there, all right.

1254
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:02,120
Speaker 7: Well, the Los Angeles Chargers in their first season under

1255
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:04,600
Speaker 7: Jim Harbaugh, they're over under a set at eight and

1256
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:09,760
Speaker 7: a half wins. Aaron, what do you think, I mean,

1257
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:12,040
Speaker 7: I gotta go over. I think part of it is

1258
01:01:12,080 --> 01:01:13,240
Speaker 7: the Herball effect, Listen.

1259
01:01:13,320 --> 01:01:16,880
Speaker 2: I mean year one, like That's the thing with Horrball

1260
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:20,919
Speaker 2: is everywhere he goes, they're awesome year one, like that's

1261
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:23,360
Speaker 2: you know, went thirteen and three. It is first year

1262
01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 2: at San Francisco. Obviously, you know we'd love to see

1263
01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,600
Speaker 2: a healthy Justin Herbert. We talked two weeks ago about

1264
01:01:28,600 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: how that can be a lingering thing PLANTI fasciitis. But

1265
01:01:32,040 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 2: at the same time you have that with a schedule

1266
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 2: that listen, you know, you start pretty manageable raiders at

1267
01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,200
Speaker 2: home at Carolina, at Pittsburgh who we talked about in

1268
01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:44,600
Speaker 2: hour one, and then you know, throughout the rest of

1269
01:01:44,600 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 2: the schedule. It's pretty manageable as well. So I'm gonna

1270
01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 2: go over eight and a half. The Harball effect is

1271
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:51,440
Speaker 2: real and it's spectacular.

1272
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,600
Speaker 3: I think the win eight games. Oh so I'll go

1273
01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 3: under just barely. I just I think it's gonna take

1274
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:00,240
Speaker 3: some time, and I don't think it's really because Ball

1275
01:02:00,320 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 3: is going to struggle. I just I'm a little bit

1276
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:07,439
Speaker 3: worried about Herbert being durable this year, and I still

1277
01:02:07,480 --> 01:02:09,720
Speaker 3: think there's some holes that they need to fill. If

1278
01:02:09,760 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 3: things go right, they can win ten eleven games. I mean,

1279
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:15,520
Speaker 3: they're certainly capable of it. But you're also taking Keenan

1280
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 3: Allen out of that equation. Just some things have changed

1281
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 3: and that defense to me, has not gotten better. You

1282
01:02:21,520 --> 01:02:24,480
Speaker 3: still have some aging players there. Maybe there's gonna be

1283
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:28,400
Speaker 3: some inspired to get another payday. But I'm just I'm

1284
01:02:28,480 --> 01:02:30,600
Speaker 3: not buying into the Chargers this year. I'm a little

1285
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 3: down on what I think they'll be in year one

1286
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 3: with Harble. I think going forward they're going to be

1287
01:02:35,320 --> 01:02:37,160
Speaker 3: pretty good, but I think it's gonna be I think

1288
01:02:37,200 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a down year. So I'll go under

1289
01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:41,120
Speaker 3: by half a.

1290
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 7: Game, all right, Well, the Las Vegas Raiders. They're over

1291
01:02:45,720 --> 01:02:48,479
Speaker 7: under is set at six and a half wins under

1292
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:50,080
Speaker 7: Antonio Pierce's first year.

1293
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:51,240
Speaker 3: So, Aaron, what do you think?

1294
01:02:51,720 --> 01:02:55,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's wild. They won five games with Antonio Pierce.

1295
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 2: I'm a big Antonio Pierce guy, you know, living in

1296
01:02:58,080 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 2: La Heatlessen. Even as a high school coach, people loved

1297
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 2: him and said, like this dude gets it. He's all

1298
01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 2: about about all the right things. Da da dah, this

1299
01:03:05,720 --> 01:03:09,240
Speaker 2: and that. And I know, but but I know this

1300
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,800
Speaker 2: is cliche, but I just I don't understand this win

1301
01:03:12,880 --> 01:03:15,640
Speaker 2: total at all. You know, you're talking about a situation

1302
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 2: where I don't care how hard they they. You know

1303
01:03:18,760 --> 01:03:22,680
Speaker 2: that the team plays for him. They don't have a quarterback.

1304
01:03:22,760 --> 01:03:23,160
Speaker 3: We know that.

1305
01:03:23,920 --> 01:03:26,160
Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, the schedule is not easy.

1306
01:03:26,240 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 2: First two at Chargers at Ravens.

1307
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:29,360
Speaker 6: Uh.

1308
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 2: You know, the back half of the schedule, you gotta

1309
01:03:31,280 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 2: play at KC at Tampa, which is obviously coming off

1310
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 2: a division title.

1311
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:35,400
Speaker 3: Uh.

1312
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,960
Speaker 2: Even like you got to travel to New Orleans late

1313
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 2: in the year. That's kind of weird. Uh, you know,

1314
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:43,680
Speaker 2: at Miami at Cincinnati. I just think it's a lot

1315
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:46,840
Speaker 2: of travel. I just I can't find the seven wins

1316
01:03:46,880 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 2: on this schedule.

1317
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:52,000
Speaker 3: I don't think you win seven either. I I don't

1318
01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 3: know if you win four. But and again, and I

1319
01:03:55,120 --> 01:03:56,560
Speaker 3: agree with you. I don't think it has anything to

1320
01:03:56,720 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 3: do with Pierce. But I mean you're rolling out there

1321
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 3: probably with Gardner Minshew and the Colts. You know, he's

1322
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:08,480
Speaker 3: he's done well and he'll be okay. You could do worse.

1323
01:04:09,080 --> 01:04:11,080
Speaker 3: But that's not the kind of thing that you want

1324
01:04:11,120 --> 01:04:13,160
Speaker 3: to say about a team you're expecting to do really

1325
01:04:13,240 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 3: good things. I do think they'll play well, and they'll

1326
01:04:15,760 --> 01:04:18,400
Speaker 3: have good chemistry and all of those kinds of things.

1327
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 3: Or they'll play hard, I should say, But just because

1328
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:22,520
Speaker 3: you play hard and you like the guy doesn't mean

1329
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 3: that you have the talent to compete. And I'm not

1330
01:04:24,280 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 3: sure they have the talent to come.

1331
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 2: By the way, do they want to win? They're one

1332
01:04:27,680 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 2: of the few teams that needs a quarterback. I know

1333
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 2: it's not a great quarterback draft next year, but it's like,

1334
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,040
Speaker 2: do they want to win? Is another conversation as well well.

1335
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, are they waiting to try and

1336
01:04:36,680 --> 01:04:39,720
Speaker 3: pay Dak Prescott next year? Are they waiting to try

1337
01:04:39,720 --> 01:04:42,600
Speaker 3: and pay somebody else next year? I mean, I had

1338
01:04:42,680 --> 01:04:45,600
Speaker 3: heard I've heard that rumor out there that they'll just

1339
01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:48,040
Speaker 3: open up the checkbook and pay whatever Dak Prescott wants

1340
01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,480
Speaker 3: to come be their guy, and maybe that is what

1341
01:04:50,520 --> 01:04:53,120
Speaker 3: they're gonna do. They certainly don't seem to be going

1342
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 3: into this season with any kind of long term plan.

1343
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:58,920
Speaker 3: Very good with well meaning with who they have on

1344
01:04:59,040 --> 01:04:59,439
Speaker 3: the roster.

1345
01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:03,560
Speaker 7: Go ahead, all right, Year two under Sean Payton for

1346
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 7: the Broncos. Their win total is set at five and

1347
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:07,560
Speaker 7: a half wins.

1348
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 3: Aaron, what do you think?

1349
01:05:09,080 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, filled in a few weeks ago with Steve Hartman,

1350
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,360
Speaker 2: we talked about this one. I've heard Kyle her talk

1351
01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 2: about this a lot. It's another one. It feels really

1352
01:05:16,800 --> 01:05:20,479
Speaker 2: low to me, and I'm gonna go over and bottom line,

1353
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: you know, bo Nicks is as he's not perfect, but

1354
01:05:23,760 --> 01:05:26,600
Speaker 2: he's as experienced of a quarterback as you're going to

1355
01:05:26,680 --> 01:05:30,120
Speaker 2: get as a as a rookie in this league. Schedule

1356
01:05:30,240 --> 01:05:32,360
Speaker 2: is manageable. I mean, listen, you look at the schedule.

1357
01:05:32,400 --> 01:05:35,360
Speaker 2: I mean they could legitimately start five and oh at Seattle, Pittsburgh,

1358
01:05:35,400 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: at home, at Tampa, at Jets Raiders. None of those

1359
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,520
Speaker 2: teams blow your socks off. Maybe the Jets to a

1360
01:05:40,600 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 2: smaller degree manageable schedule. I don't even think this is

1361
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 2: a debate. And oh, by the way, last year in

1362
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 2: a season where everything went wrong, kind of the same

1363
01:05:49,600 --> 01:05:52,120
Speaker 2: way we talked about the Kansas City Chiefs. Last year,

1364
01:05:52,160 --> 01:05:54,680
Speaker 2: they went eight and nine, So they're gonna be four

1365
01:05:54,800 --> 01:05:57,440
Speaker 2: games worse than that, three games worse than that. I

1366
01:05:57,560 --> 01:05:58,120
Speaker 2: just don't see it.

1367
01:05:58,360 --> 01:05:59,760
Speaker 3: I don't either. I mean I had when I was

1368
01:05:59,840 --> 01:06:01,680
Speaker 3: just going through it. I mean, this is my team.

1369
01:06:01,840 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 3: But even so I had them winning eight games. When

1370
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:06,640
Speaker 3: I looked through it, I could see him winning nine.

1371
01:06:07,160 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 3: It'll be like last year was. But I do think

1372
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:11,440
Speaker 3: that there's gonna be a lot of promise because I'm

1373
01:06:11,600 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 3: very I'm excited potentially if what Bonicks could do with

1374
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 3: Sean Payton, because that's his kind of quarterback. If that

1375
01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 3: thing clicks fast, this could be a surprise team. But

1376
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,480
Speaker 3: I definitely think like five and a half to me

1377
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 3: is stealing money. Like I think you go over by

1378
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,200
Speaker 3: two or three games at least.

1379
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think to me, that is the most obvious one.

1380
01:06:30,480 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 2: All Right, I'll tell you what, Jason, we'll come back.

1381
01:06:32,120 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 2: We will talk about the AFC South next to a division,

1382
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 2: you know, well, for de let's toss over the news

1383
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:39,280
Speaker 2: desk to Sega. What is trending.

1384
01:06:39,520 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 6: Well, we're talking about coach Santonio Pierce of the Raiders.

1385
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:44,160
Speaker 6: By the way, let's not forget he was the coach

1386
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 6: when last December in Vegas, they were actually in a

1387
01:06:47,160 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 6: zero zero NFL game in the fourth quarter against Minnesota

1388
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,200
Speaker 6: with Aid and O'Connell at quarterback, which brings us to tonight.

1389
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,360
Speaker 6: Aiden O'Connell has thrown a pick six and the Dallas

1390
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,720
Speaker 6: lead is now twenty to twelve at Vegas. Now, O'Connell

1391
01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:02,959
Speaker 6: had thrown a short touchdown pass in the third quarter

1392
01:07:03,040 --> 01:07:05,960
Speaker 6: to get him close, but the two point pass was missed,

1393
01:07:05,960 --> 01:07:09,080
Speaker 6: so the Dallas lead was thirteen to twelve. Now after

1394
01:07:09,160 --> 01:07:11,720
Speaker 6: the pick six sixty nine yards the other way, it's

1395
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,320
Speaker 6: Dallas twenty to twelve, and for the fourth quarter, O'Connell

1396
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 6: is sitting one touchdown, one interception for him Gardner Minshew

1397
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 6: before that ninety five yards passing ten of twenty one

1398
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 6: through the air. The story for Dallas Brandon Aubrey an

1399
01:07:25,680 --> 01:07:28,320
Speaker 6: early fifty four yard field goal and then at the

1400
01:07:28,440 --> 01:07:31,440
Speaker 6: end of the first half a sixty six yard field

1401
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,320
Speaker 6: goal that he made and by the way, he shouldn't

1402
01:07:34,320 --> 01:07:36,760
Speaker 6: have even had the chance at the attempt. But the

1403
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 6: Raiders in the final minute through three straight incompletions, and

1404
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,040
Speaker 6: that gave the Cowboys the ball back again. And what

1405
01:07:44,120 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 6: do you know, sixty six yard boot. It's twenty to

1406
01:07:47,680 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 6: twelve Dallas, early fourth quarter. Among the many other games today,

1407
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:54,360
Speaker 6: the Texans beat the Giants twenty eight to ten, as

1408
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:58,160
Speaker 6: Daniel Jones of New York through two interceptions, Bears twenty

1409
01:07:58,240 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 6: seven to three winners again the Cincinnati Bengals Ravens thirteen

1410
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:05,800
Speaker 6: to twelve over the Falcons. There was also a Dolphins

1411
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:09,920
Speaker 6: thirteen to six win against Washington. Bill's won nine to

1412
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 6: three at Pittsburgh, Rams thirteen to nine over the Chargers,

1413
01:08:14,240 --> 01:08:17,400
Speaker 6: Stetson Bennett getting more time a long touchdown pass as

1414
01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 6: well as an interception in this one. At Everything's Final.

1415
01:08:20,680 --> 01:08:23,439
Speaker 6: In Major League Baseball, the Braves were eleven three winners

1416
01:08:23,479 --> 01:08:26,719
Speaker 6: in Anaheim over the Angels. Chris Saale another victory fourteen

1417
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 6: and three. He had ten strikeouts in six innings. Detroit

1418
01:08:30,400 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 6: shut out the Yankees four to nothing. Yanks are still

1419
01:08:32,800 --> 01:08:34,960
Speaker 6: a game ahead of Baltimore in the Al East, as

1420
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,559
Speaker 6: the Orioles lost five to one to Boston. Milwaukee's won

1421
01:08:38,680 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 6: four in a row at beat Cleveland two to one,

1422
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:44,240
Speaker 6: Minnesota a winner at Texas five to two, and Kansas

1423
01:08:44,280 --> 01:08:47,559
Speaker 6: City won at Cincinnati thirteen to one. Case right now

1424
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:50,519
Speaker 6: owns the final wildcard spot in the American League for

1425
01:08:50,640 --> 01:08:53,360
Speaker 6: the Red Star pitcher Hunter Green goes on the injured

1426
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:54,599
Speaker 6: list with a sore elbow.

1427
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 2: Back to you, thank you very much, Steve Seger, Fox

1428

Speaker 2: Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday in the Sunday air towards

1429
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:04,240
Speaker 2: Jason Martin broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios

1430
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 2: to Sager, of course, we'll be back with us in

1431
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 2: just a moment for his extended update. Tell you what, guys,

1432
01:09:09,360 --> 01:09:12,280
Speaker 2: let's get back that music. Let's put us in the mood.

1433
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:16,680
Speaker 2: Let's talk. AFC South over underwent totals, go ahead of you,

1434
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:18,559
Speaker 2: all right, AFC South.

1435
01:09:18,640 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 7: We're gonna start with the Houston Texans. They're over under

1436
01:09:22,040 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 7: a set at nine and a half wins. We started

1437
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,040
Speaker 7: with Aaron last time. We'll start with you, j Martin.

1438
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 3: What do you think I mean? It's I mean, it'd

1439
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,760
Speaker 3: be easy to say, oh, well, sophomore slump. Yeah, you

1440
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,160
Speaker 3: had that great first album. But what's that what's that

1441
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:37,200
Speaker 3: second one gonna look like? I still think it's gonna

1442
01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:39,320
Speaker 3: look good because I don't think that I don't think

1443
01:09:39,360 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 3: that CJ. Stroud is a guy that does a lot

1444
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 3: of gimmicky things that are going to be figured out,

1445
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 3: Like our defense is going to be a little more

1446
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:50,400
Speaker 3: prepared for him. Sure, but I mean, how much better

1447
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,479
Speaker 3: can you be prepared for somebody with a lightning quick

1448
01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:55,840
Speaker 3: release who's super accurate. I don't really know the answer

1449
01:09:55,960 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 3: to that. He made guys that generally no one was

1450
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 3: talking about. I'll look really good last year. I don't

1451
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,839
Speaker 3: think they've gotten worse. I think they've gotten more confident.

1452
01:10:05,920 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 3: But they have a good culture. I really like their

1453
01:10:07,800 --> 01:10:10,840
Speaker 3: head coach going into year two with Tamiko Ryans, I

1454
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:13,240
Speaker 3: think they go over I do. I think that's a

1455
01:10:13,720 --> 01:10:15,280
Speaker 3: I think that's a team that again is going to

1456
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,759
Speaker 3: win double digit games and is going to be really

1457
01:10:17,840 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 3: good throughout the year. The only struggle that you have is,

1458
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,400
Speaker 3: unfortunately you match up with the NFC North if you

1459
01:10:23,479 --> 01:10:27,000
Speaker 3: were the AFC South, and you get the first play schedule,

1460
01:10:27,240 --> 01:10:29,680
Speaker 3: so that could be the only kind of pitfall. But

1461
01:10:29,760 --> 01:10:32,320
Speaker 3: I really like Houston going into the season again, so

1462
01:10:32,360 --> 01:10:32,840
Speaker 3: I'll go over.

1463
01:10:33,200 --> 01:10:37,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am one that's a little bit lower on

1464
01:10:37,800 --> 01:10:41,680
Speaker 2: them coming into the year, and I just think I

1465
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,960
Speaker 2: think there could be a pseudo sophomore slump. Obviously, Stefan Diggs,

1466
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 2: how does he kind of mesh with the guys that

1467
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 2: have been there? But you went ten and seven last year?

1468
01:10:50,040 --> 01:10:52,240
Speaker 2: The division to me, I know, obviously, and we're to

1469
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,400
Speaker 2: talk about in just a moment Anthony Richardson. But Anthony

1470
01:10:55,520 --> 01:11:00,240
Speaker 2: Richardson's healthy, but the division isn't fundamentally better, and it's

1471
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,040
Speaker 2: just hard for me to see the team on paper

1472
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:09,120
Speaker 2: being worse than they were last year. So I don't know. Again,

1473
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,160
Speaker 2: I know I said this with Casey a few minutes ago.

1474
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,160
Speaker 2: I don't think this is like a fourteen and three

1475
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:17,560
Speaker 2: like way way way over, But ten and seven is

1476
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,280
Speaker 2: essentially a five hundred ball club a little bit over.

1477
01:11:20,720 --> 01:11:23,639
Speaker 2: So go ahead, give me the Houston Texas to hit

1478
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,479
Speaker 2: the over of nine and a half, all right? Next up?

1479
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,799
Speaker 7: You alluded to it a second ago. But the Colts,

1480
01:11:28,880 --> 01:11:32,719
Speaker 7: they have Anthony Richardson back here two under Shane Steichen

1481
01:11:32,760 --> 01:11:35,639
Speaker 7: almost in Waldron, they're over under a set at eight

1482
01:11:35,720 --> 01:11:36,160
Speaker 7: and a half.

1483
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:37,479
Speaker 2: Wins J Mart what do you think.

1484
01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm not sure because this is a big year for Richardson.

1485
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:46,000
Speaker 3: I know he's early in his career, but he can't

1486
01:11:46,080 --> 01:11:48,840
Speaker 3: take another injury, and you got to hope that he's

1487
01:11:48,880 --> 01:11:51,439
Speaker 3: grown a little bit takes a few less risks. I

1488
01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 3: mean the risk that he takes. You like his heart

1489
01:11:54,680 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 3: for it, but you also want him to still be

1490
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,360
Speaker 3: able to get up and play for you the next Sunday.

1491
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 3: I like stiking lot. That team kind of lost steam

1492
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 3: last year late, but they I think they did more

1493
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 3: than maybe you were anticipating them doing early on in

1494
01:12:08,439 --> 01:12:11,000
Speaker 3: the year. It's not a great division. That's another thing

1495
01:12:11,080 --> 01:12:13,799
Speaker 3: that you know, we will talk about throughout this segment

1496
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:16,080
Speaker 3: that you would say it benefits everybody, but there's a

1497
01:12:16,120 --> 01:12:18,280
Speaker 3: reason why. That's because none of the teams are like

1498
01:12:19,120 --> 01:12:21,920
Speaker 3: all world. I still think Houston's the best one of

1499
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 3: that lot. But you said eight and a half eight

1500
01:12:25,479 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 3: and a half.

1501
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:29,080
Speaker 2: Yep uh, I'm.

1502
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,120
Speaker 3: Gonna say they're eight and nine. I'm gonna say they're under.

1503
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,680
Speaker 2: I hate keep agreeing with you on everything, but I

1504
01:12:35,040 --> 01:12:37,280
Speaker 2: agree with you on this one. Is I just listen.

1505
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 2: We all love Anthony Richardson's tools, but injuries and you

1506
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 2: factor in not only the injuries, but also just he

1507
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:48,280
Speaker 2: didn't play a ton at Florida, right, and so it

1508
01:12:48,479 --> 01:12:51,280
Speaker 2: is all still the tangible things, and we just don't

1509
01:12:51,320 --> 01:12:53,080
Speaker 2: know about the intangibles. And I think the other thing

1510
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 2: is schedule's not super easy. To start Texans in week one.

1511
01:12:58,240 --> 01:13:01,000
Speaker 2: We just talked about them at Green. Hey, everybody likes them.

1512
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: Chicago Bears in week three. You know, if we think

1513
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:05,560
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams is as good as he could be, that

1514
01:13:05,800 --> 01:13:07,920
Speaker 2: could be zero to three, it could be one and two.

1515
01:13:08,600 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 2: And then oh, by the way, you got back to

1516
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 2: back division games by the middle of October in uh,

1517
01:13:13,240 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 2: both on the road, and they're both on the road exactly.

1518
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,080
Speaker 2: So I think you get off to a slow start,

1519
01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 2: and I think once you lose that momentum for a

1520
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:24,240
Speaker 2: young team with a young quarterback, I think it's hard

1521
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,800
Speaker 2: to pick it back up. And oh, by the way,

1522
01:13:25,800 --> 01:13:27,960
Speaker 2: the back half of the schedule isn't any easier, No,

1523
01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 2: with Dolphins and home at Texans, Bills, et cetera, Lions

1524
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:33,639
Speaker 2: as well. So I'll be quick here and just say

1525
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 2: the I'll take the under as well, all right. Next up,

1526
01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 2: we have the Jacksonville Jaguars, they're over. Under is set

1527
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:41,960
Speaker 2: at eight and a half wins. J Martin, what do

1528
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:42,240
Speaker 2: you think.

1529
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a big year for them. I

1530
01:13:46,240 --> 01:13:48,160
Speaker 3: mean they went ahead and paid Trevor, which I mean,

1531
01:13:48,200 --> 01:13:51,200
Speaker 3: I understand it. But I think that we're starting to

1532
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 3: think maybe his stealing is a little lower than we thought.

1533
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:56,640
Speaker 3: Maybe it isn't. Maybe this is going to be the

1534
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,200
Speaker 3: year where you get back to where they were trending

1535
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 3: at the end of the year where Brandon Stay we

1536
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 3: should have coached his last game as the Chargers coach,

1537
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:07,000
Speaker 3: but did not turn out to do it. You talk

1538
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:10,280
Speaker 3: about the way it starts, well at Miami, that's not

1539
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 3: going to be easy. Cleveland is not going to be easy.

1540
01:14:13,280 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 3: At the Bills, at the Texans, or your first four games.

1541
01:14:16,320 --> 01:14:19,400
Speaker 3: I think it's possible they're zer and four. Maybe you're

1542
01:14:19,439 --> 01:14:22,439
Speaker 3: one to three in that situation. Then you play Indy

1543
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:24,760
Speaker 3: and you play the Colts. But there are a few

1544
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 3: winnable games on this schedule. I still think it's under.

1545
01:14:28,120 --> 01:14:29,720
Speaker 3: I just don't think they're going to be very good.

1546
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:32,760
Speaker 2: Just for the sake of being interesting, I'll take it

1547
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 2: an over. You know, everybody's kind of, like you said,

1548
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 2: kind of soured on this team, I get it. The

1549
01:14:38,560 --> 01:14:41,599
Speaker 2: counter that is Trevor Lawrence was actually pretty good two

1550
01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:45,479
Speaker 2: years ago. Doug Peterson didn't forget how to coach. For

1551
01:14:45,600 --> 01:14:47,479
Speaker 2: the sake of brevity, because we're up against it, I

1552
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,760
Speaker 2: will take the over on the Jacksonville Jaguars, all.

1553
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:52,080
Speaker 7: Right, last's but not least the Titans over under six

1554
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 7: and a half wins.

1555
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 3: J Mart, What do you think? I think I've got

1556
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,160
Speaker 3: them going over. I think they've done some good things

1557
01:14:57,640 --> 01:14:59,960
Speaker 3: any all season. I think they're better a wide receiver.

1558
01:15:00,640 --> 01:15:03,320
Speaker 3: They went out and grabbed another guy and Ridley, you've

1559
01:15:03,360 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 3: still got Hopkins there. I like Levis a lot better

1560
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:09,120
Speaker 3: than I thought it was going to as a pro

1561
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,000
Speaker 3: Brian Callahan knows out of coach offense. He was doing

1562
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,559
Speaker 3: it in Cincinnati where they were racking up points like crazy.

1563
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:15,760
Speaker 3: I don't know what he's going to be as a

1564
01:15:15,800 --> 01:15:19,200
Speaker 3: head coach, but I kind of liked that move. I

1565
01:15:19,240 --> 01:15:21,240
Speaker 3: think they're a little bit better on defense than they

1566
01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:23,360
Speaker 3: have been. I don't know what their depth is, but

1567
01:15:23,479 --> 01:15:25,280
Speaker 3: I think that's a low wind total. And if I'm

1568
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 3: going under with both the Colts and the Jags, then

1569
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:29,200
Speaker 3: I'll go over with the Titans.

1570
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:33,840
Speaker 2: I'll go under, just you know, combination of inexperienced quarterback,

1571
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:37,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of a tough schedule NFC North so

1572
01:15:37,200 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 2: at Bears, Packers early along with the AFC East, so

1573
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,719
Speaker 2: you got the bills, you got. It's a tough schedule. Basically,

1574
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 2: by by the end of October, you've already played Green

1575
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 2: Bay at Miami, at Buffalo at Detroit. I'll take the

1576
01:15:53,560 --> 01:15:57,240
Speaker 2: under on the Tennessee Titans. All right, tell you what,

1577
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,439
Speaker 2: Jamart will come back. Toss it over the news desk

1578
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:01,800
Speaker 2: to Sega has all sorts of good stuff. By the way,

1579
01:16:01,840 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 2: we are doing over underwin totals. We will get to

1580
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:06,719
Speaker 2: a couple more divisions next week. But again to Sag're

1581
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 2: coming up next to catch it. Get you caught up

1582
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,880
Speaker 2: on everything you missed throughout today. This is Fox Sports Radio.

1583
01:16:13,120 --> 01:16:17,040
Speaker 2: Welcome back everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Eric Tors, Jason Martin

1584
01:16:17,080 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the tyreck dot Com studios as we

1585
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:22,880
Speaker 2: do every week around this time. Do want to toss

1586
01:16:22,920 --> 01:16:25,599
Speaker 2: it over the news desk to Saga, get us caught

1587
01:16:25,680 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 2: up on everything that we've missed throughout the last.

1588
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:30,600
Speaker 6: Couple Well, wet still got that late game going in

1589
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 6: Vegas and By the way, you mentioned earlier, this game

1590
01:16:33,240 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 6: is blackout in Los Angeles, so there are a lot

1591
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:38,840
Speaker 6: of Cowboys and Raiders fans in southern California not seeing that.

1592
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:41,639
Speaker 6: My only guess is because there is a local LA

1593
01:16:41,800 --> 01:16:44,720
Speaker 6: channel that is showing this game, just not live. They're

1594
01:16:44,760 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 6: showing it tomorrow afternoon. Oh so maybe that's the reason.

1595
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,600
Speaker 2: Is nineteen seventy NBA basketball.

1596
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:55,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not as bad as the blackouts rules that

1597
01:16:55,200 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 6: Major League Baseball has had where people in Vegas. Conversely,

1598
01:16:58,439 --> 01:17:00,760
Speaker 6: for a while we're not able to see games as

1599
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,600
Speaker 6: if they were just gonna get in the car and

1600
01:17:02,760 --> 01:17:04,800
Speaker 6: drive down here, it would force him to buy a

1601
01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,920
Speaker 6: ticket or something. Anyway, under five minutes are at five

1602
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:10,040
Speaker 6: minutes to go. In the late game in Vegas, it's

1603
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:13,760
Speaker 6: Dallas twenty to twelve. Aidan O'Connell with one touchdown that

1604
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,200
Speaker 6: got him close third quarter, but one interception returned sixty

1605
01:17:17,280 --> 01:17:21,160
Speaker 6: nine yards for a Dallas TV early fourth The story

1606
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:24,120
Speaker 6: for Dallas, well, I did need to make mention of

1607
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,879
Speaker 6: Trey Lance because he did have a one yard touchdown

1608
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:29,439
Speaker 6: pass with about a minute to go in the first half.

1609
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,200
Speaker 6: Looped the pass successfully to the back corner of the

1610
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 6: end zone for a score to get him the lead,

1611
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,799
Speaker 6: and amazingly, Dallas got the ball back because the Raiders

1612
01:17:38,840 --> 01:17:41,839
Speaker 6: threw three straight incompletions in the final minute before halftime.

1613
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,560
Speaker 6: Dallas got it back and it was Trey Lance with

1614
01:17:44,640 --> 01:17:48,480
Speaker 6: a twenty yard scramble that got the ball just past midfield.

1615
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 6: And so on the final player of the first half,

1616
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 6: they attempted a sixty six yard field goal. The Cowboys

1617
01:17:53,560 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 6: did and it was good from Brandon Aubrey. Guys, if

1618
01:17:56,760 --> 01:17:58,960
Speaker 6: this was a regular season game tonight, that would have

1619
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 6: tied the longest field goal in the history of the NFL.

1620
01:18:02,680 --> 01:18:04,880
Speaker 6: Justin Tucker three years ago won a game on the

1621
01:18:04,960 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 6: last play with a sixty six yarder. Brandon Aubrey had

1622
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 6: tried a sixty five yarder in La last week and

1623
01:18:11,400 --> 01:18:13,640
Speaker 6: did not make that against the Rams, but he hit

1624
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:16,679
Speaker 6: from sixty in his rookie year last year, made nearly

1625
01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:19,679
Speaker 6: every field goal attempt he had last year with Dallas

1626
01:18:19,800 --> 01:18:22,599
Speaker 6: thirty six of thirty eight. But we talk about spring

1627
01:18:22,680 --> 01:18:25,200
Speaker 6: football and does it produce anybody. It sure produced this

1628
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 6: guy because he played two years with Birmingham and was

1629
01:18:28,160 --> 01:18:30,599
Speaker 6: great and went straight to the Dallas Cowboys and had

1630
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 6: a good rookie season after being at Notre Dame, not

1631
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:35,840
Speaker 6: as a football player. He was a four year soccer

1632
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 6: player at Notre Dame when was drafted by Major League

1633
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 6: Soccer by Toronto, and now Brandon Aubrey certainly has an

1634
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 6: NFL career going. By the way, NFL Network has carried

1635
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:49,040
Speaker 6: eleven games live in the preseason so far and the

1636
01:18:49,160 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 6: ratings they're averaging one point four million, which impresses me

1637
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:56,760
Speaker 6: because a some of this is against the Olympics. B it's,

1638
01:18:57,360 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 6: let's be honest, it's preseason football, regular NFL product, and

1639
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,840
Speaker 6: as we saw in some of the games today, four

1640
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:07,599
Speaker 6: quarters is sometimes unwatchable. But also that's near the TV

1641
01:19:07,800 --> 01:19:11,280
Speaker 6: rating that the NBA was getting for regular season national

1642
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:16,400
Speaker 6: TV games, not just the ones TNT, ESPN, ABC. Their

1643
01:19:16,640 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 6: season average for the regular season was one point five

1644
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:24,800
Speaker 6: six million viewers. The Dallas Rams exhibition last weekend got

1645
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 6: over two million viewers. If you want to talk ratings,

1646
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:31,120
Speaker 6: close the lid on the Olympics. What a phenomenal two

1647
01:19:31,200 --> 01:19:34,639
Speaker 6: plus weeks If you include the streaming and USA Network, etc.

1648
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 6: The Olympic coverage was getting thirty million viewers a day

1649
01:19:40,080 --> 01:19:42,760
Speaker 6: for over two weeks. Just put it in perspective, the

1650
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 6: first weekend of the playoffs for the NFL was thirty

1651
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,160
Speaker 6: one million flow for wildcard weekend of those six playoff games.

1652
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 6: Just crazy ratings that, aside from the NFL, just doesn't exist,

1653
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 6: including in primetime in US television anymore. Michael Pennix did

1654
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,160
Speaker 6: not start for the Falcons today, the first rounder Op

1655
01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,680
Speaker 6: Ten pick from Washington. Not only didn't play today, he's

1656
01:20:03,720 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 6: not gonna play next week because his coach says he

1657
01:20:06,280 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 6: showed us enough last week. We don't have to play

1658
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 6: him again in the preseason. That's a head scratcher.

1659
01:20:11,600 --> 01:20:14,600
Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much, Steve Seger. I

1660
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 2: do agree that's a little bit of a head scratcher.

1661
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,280
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what. We will come back and

1662
01:20:19,400 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 2: we will talk about a busy Saturday in the NFL preseason,

1663
01:20:23,640 --> 01:20:26,240
Speaker 2: including a pair of rookies who did play, Caleb Williams

1664
01:20:26,280 --> 01:20:31,479
Speaker 2: and Jaden Daniels, among others. Also Pittsburgh. Some interesting stuff

1665
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:34,960
Speaker 2: there as well, plenty more football. This is Fox Sports Areio.

Speaker 2: Welcome in everybody, Fox Sports Radio, Fox Sports Saturday. By

1668
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 2: the way, I started this segment off with my mic off,

1669
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:48,280
Speaker 2: and I felt like there was just a weird echo

1670
01:20:48,360 --> 01:20:51,400
Speaker 2: in my ears where I couldn't hear anything. But then

1671
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,280
Speaker 2: I just figured out that my mic was not on.

1672
01:20:53,520 --> 01:20:55,559
Speaker 2: But thank you for all your hard work back there

01:21:14,320 --> 01:21:16,720
Speaker 2: East Coast as well as the Central time zones. We

1680
01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 2: are taking up till two am Eastern time. Bernie Fratto

1681
01:21:20,360 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 2: off The Bernie Fratto Show will be following us. Cannot

1682
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,960
Speaker 2: wait to see what Bernie has to say about what

1683
01:21:26,160 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 2: is obviously a busy and fun time, a lot of

1684
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:33,160
Speaker 2: NFL to react to, both for Bernie but also for us.

1685
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 2: In the final hour of this show and Jamark before

1686
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:37,439
Speaker 2: we get to some of the stuff that happened on

1687
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:41,120
Speaker 2: the field Saturday, Brendan is listening to us. He said

1688
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,680
Speaker 2: something interesting. I'm curious for your perspective, he said. He

1689
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,360
Speaker 2: was listening to our previous segments if you missed it.

1690
01:21:47,439 --> 01:21:50,639
Speaker 2: In hour two, we picked our over under win total

1691
01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:54,479
Speaker 2: selections for the AFC West, of course, featuring the defending

1692
01:21:54,520 --> 01:21:58,799
Speaker 2: Super Bowl champion kidsas City Chiefs, Chargers, Broncos, and Raiders,

1693
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:02,040
Speaker 2: and we also picked the AFC South. But Brendan was

1694
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 2: tweeting in specifically about the AFC West. He said, I

1695
01:22:06,920 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 2: think the Raiders are a mirror image of the Colts

1696
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 2: from twenty twenty three. Minshew is the QB for both teams,

1697
01:22:13,439 --> 01:22:16,479
Speaker 2: and the talent around him in Las Vegas is similar

1698
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,560
Speaker 2: to what he had in Indy. On top of that,

1699
01:22:18,680 --> 01:22:21,400
Speaker 2: Las Vegas defense is better than Indies last year, so

1700
01:22:21,720 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 2: I can see. How about this Jason eleven and six

1701
01:22:26,960 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 2: for Las Vegas, think eleven and six fields.

1702
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:31,040
Speaker 3: All that guy's wearing silver and black.

1703
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,160
Speaker 2: Eleven six fields a little aggressive for me.

1704
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 3: Not gonna lie, So look, I don't disagree with some

1705
01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:42,680
Speaker 3: of that, like Minshew in both places, Minshew with some

1706
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:46,240
Speaker 3: talent to throw the football too, and Antonio Pierce you

1707
01:22:46,479 --> 01:22:50,240
Speaker 3: like you're in a good situation. The difference, though, is

1708
01:22:50,320 --> 01:22:54,400
Speaker 3: that one team had that experience in the AFC South

1709
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:58,759
Speaker 3: last year and the other one has Kansas City Harball

1710
01:22:58,800 --> 01:23:02,519
Speaker 3: in year one, and I think a better Denver team

1711
01:23:03,280 --> 01:23:06,479
Speaker 3: this year. And they're going into this thing without a

1712
01:23:06,600 --> 01:23:08,560
Speaker 3: quarterback on day one, Like they're not even gonna have

1713
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:11,040
Speaker 3: the injury situation. They're just gonna have to roll with

1714
01:23:11,120 --> 01:23:15,000
Speaker 3: Minshew or Adan O'Connell. Like I just if they win

1715
01:23:15,080 --> 01:23:18,040
Speaker 3: double digit games, I'm not gonna make a foolish bet

1716
01:23:18,320 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 3: or anything like that. I just don't think that's possible.

1717
01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,280
Speaker 3: I don't think they're gonna be one of the worst

1718
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:26,200
Speaker 3: teams in the league. But this just seems like this

1719
01:23:26,400 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 3: is the very definition of the rebuilding year because it

1720
01:23:30,439 --> 01:23:33,519
Speaker 3: looks like they have a grander planet quarterback. This is

1721
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 3: a transition like this is this is an interim, almost

1722
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 3: like a lame duck year, because you don't have a

1723
01:23:41,240 --> 01:23:43,720
Speaker 3: quarterback for the future. And if you don't have a

1724
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,559
Speaker 3: quarterback for the future, I can't see you winning eleven games.

1725
01:23:46,600 --> 01:23:48,800
Speaker 3: Because you win eleven games, then you probably bring that

1726
01:23:48,880 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 3: guy back. I just don't see that.

1727
01:23:50,760 --> 01:23:52,640
Speaker 2: They win eleven games. You gotta let Brendan host the

1728
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:52,960
Speaker 2: show for.

1729
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:54,800
Speaker 3: You for one week, I think, okay, but yeah, that

1730
01:23:55,240 --> 01:23:55,840
Speaker 3: would be fine.

1731
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 2: Nah, I'm with you. First of all, obviously, look eleven

1732
01:23:58,880 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 2: and six is very grass. If I said it last hour,

1733
01:24:01,320 --> 01:24:07,040
Speaker 2: I love Antonio Pierce. You know, covering you know, youth

1734
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 2: football is in the right word, but you know the

1735
01:24:08,560 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 2: college scene, which kind of overlaps obviously with the pro

1736
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:13,719
Speaker 2: with the with the with the high school scene.

1737
01:24:14,200 --> 01:24:14,320
Speaker 3: Uh.

1738
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 2: He was a very successful high school coach for about

1739
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 2: four or five years before he went to Arizona State.

1740
01:24:19,400 --> 01:24:22,080
Speaker 2: And it's wild too. The other thing is, like we

1741
01:24:22,160 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 2: could criticize how it ended. You know, the Arizona State

1742
01:24:24,439 --> 01:24:27,840
Speaker 2: situation was uh, you know, the whole staff got fired

1743
01:24:27,840 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 2: because they were bringing recruits on campus during COVID. But

1744
01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 2: I mean, look at some of the guys that they

1745
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:34,919
Speaker 2: brought to Arizona during that time, Jadon Daniels, Brandon Ayuk.

1746
01:24:35,560 --> 01:24:37,360
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not gonna say the list goes on

1747
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,519
Speaker 2: and on, because it doesn't. Ricky Piersall, who was a

1748
01:24:39,560 --> 01:24:42,200
Speaker 2: first round pick who ended up transferring, uh, played his

1749
01:24:42,280 --> 01:24:44,080
Speaker 2: last couple of years at Florida, So I'm not gonna

1750
01:24:44,080 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 2: say the list goes on and on. But but the

1751
01:24:45,960 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 2: guy had an eye for talent. I know, high school

1752
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:51,200
Speaker 2: recruiting doesn't equate to success in the NFL. Uh, I

1753
01:24:51,280 --> 01:24:53,800
Speaker 2: think the I do think they'll be good. I think

1754
01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:56,000
Speaker 2: the last point you brought up Jason on the Raiders,

1755
01:24:56,040 --> 01:24:57,400
Speaker 2: then we'll get to some of the stuff that happened

1756
01:24:57,439 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 2: on the field on Saturday. The most important part that

1757
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:04,000
Speaker 2: you brought up, in my opinion, is exactly what you

1758
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:07,439
Speaker 2: ended with, which is, you know, if you're the Raiders.

1759
01:25:07,520 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 2: I mean, listen, nobody's throwing games in the NFL. We

1760
01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:14,920
Speaker 2: know that, but again, you know there are if you

1761
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:17,479
Speaker 2: really what's kind of crazy is if you really look

1762
01:25:17,560 --> 01:25:20,599
Speaker 2: around the league now, teams always pop up, but there

1763
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 2: really aren't a lot of teams that you really think

1764
01:25:24,640 --> 01:25:26,680
Speaker 2: a year from now are going to be in the

1765
01:25:26,760 --> 01:25:30,160
Speaker 2: market for quarterbacks. And so whether it is to the

1766
01:25:30,200 --> 01:25:31,840
Speaker 2: point you brought up earlier in the show I thought

1767
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,080
Speaker 2: was a great one. You know, if Dak in the

1768
01:25:34,320 --> 01:25:37,439
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys can't figure things out, are you the

1769
01:25:37,479 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 2: front runner for his services? Obviously there's a scenario where,

1770
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,080
Speaker 2: again you look at a lot of the teams that

1771
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:48,160
Speaker 2: are projected to be bad, most of them just aren't

1772
01:25:48,240 --> 01:25:50,120
Speaker 2: going to need quarterbacks, you know. I mean, the New

1773
01:25:50,120 --> 01:25:51,760
Speaker 2: England Patriots might be the worst team in the league,

1774
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:53,280
Speaker 2: they're not gonna need a quarterback. I mean, you go

1775
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:56,559
Speaker 2: on and on down the list. Indianapolis Colts probably won't

1776
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:59,760
Speaker 2: need one. I mean, the Colts probably aren't the right

1777
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:01,439
Speaker 2: team there. But the point I'm trying to make is

1778
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,840
Speaker 2: that you could draft somebody, you can sign somebody. So

1779
01:26:05,080 --> 01:26:06,800
Speaker 2: with the Raiders, I don't want to spend much more

1780
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 2: time on a Jason, But I don't even think it

1781
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:11,400
Speaker 2: behooves you to go eleven and six. If you go

1782
01:26:11,479 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 2: eleven and six, I mean, it's one of the great

1783
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 2: coaching jobs we've ever seen because I just I like

1784
01:26:16,960 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 2: Gardner Minshew. I don't think he's that dude at quarterback.

1785
01:26:20,240 --> 01:26:23,000
Speaker 3: No, I mean he's a He's a Ryan Fitzpatrick type quarterback.

1786
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 3: He's a guy can come in and do some good

1787
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:29,040
Speaker 3: things for you. You could do much worse than to

1788
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,679
Speaker 3: have him, But yeah, he's not your long term answer.

1789
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:36,200
Speaker 3: That guy is coming and you just have to If

1790
01:26:36,240 --> 01:26:38,800
Speaker 3: you're the Raiders, you hope that it's kind of the

1791
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:40,880
Speaker 3: long game that you're playing with Pierce, where you're like,

1792
01:26:40,920 --> 01:26:43,040
Speaker 3: all right, this year is going to be this year.

1793
01:26:43,240 --> 01:26:45,200
Speaker 3: Next year we're gonna go get somebody, whether we get

1794
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 3: him a free agency or whether or not we're bad

1795
01:26:46,960 --> 01:26:49,800
Speaker 3: enough where we go grab somebody in the draft that

1796
01:26:49,880 --> 01:26:52,880
Speaker 3: we really want. Our future is coming. Our future is

1797
01:26:52,960 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 3: not right now. Like they're not gonna win a Super

1798
01:26:55,080 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 3: Bowl anyway. I'm not saying they should tank, but it

1799
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:02,560
Speaker 3: definitely does not look like they coming out expecting to

1800
01:27:02,640 --> 01:27:04,640
Speaker 3: win a lot of games. They are not putting a

1801
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:08,800
Speaker 3: product on the field that leads me to believe that

1802
01:27:08,960 --> 01:27:11,120
Speaker 3: they care too much about w's and l's this year.

1803
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:13,720
Speaker 2: Raiders, by the way, are still on the field as

1804
01:27:13,760 --> 01:27:16,439
Speaker 2: we speak, the Dallas Cowboys closing out a victory in

1805
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:19,960
Speaker 2: Las Vegas. About a minute left in Vegas as the

1806
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: Cowboys have a twenty seven to twelve lead on the Raiders,

1807
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,080
Speaker 2: Jason really quick. Let's go through some of the other

1808
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:30,800
Speaker 2: games that happened on Saturday. Not wanting to go overreaction mode,

1809
01:27:30,840 --> 01:27:31,880
Speaker 2: but I think there were a couple of things that

1810
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:36,559
Speaker 2: were interesting. First off, Pittsburgh Steelers a very interesting quarterback

1811
01:27:36,600 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 2: in their own right. You got Russell Wilson on the cheap.

1812
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:41,840
Speaker 2: It's not as though he has great equity with this team,

1813
01:27:41,880 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 2: but I think everybody kind of believes that he's going

1814
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 2: to be a starter. He plays on Saturday eight of

1815
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 2: ten passing, but he was sacked three times. Kind of

1816
01:27:49,840 --> 01:27:53,400
Speaker 2: really did struggle to you know, basically when the pocket

1817
01:27:53,479 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 2: collapsed on him, to do much of anything. Now, it

1818
01:27:56,320 --> 01:27:59,959
Speaker 2: is worth noting after the game, Mike Tomlin kind of seemless,

1819
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:02,920
Speaker 2: seemingly took his defense, saying, we didn't do good enough

1820
01:28:02,960 --> 01:28:05,559
Speaker 2: job protecting the quarterback. That can't be a problem for us.

1821
01:28:05,640 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 2: We've got to be better than we were in that

1822
01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:10,400
Speaker 2: area tonight. But bring it up because Russell Wilson took

1823
01:28:10,400 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 2: three sacks in a game where Justin Fields eleven of

1824
01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:17,920
Speaker 2: seventeen passing, no touchdowns, no interceptions, but also showed what

1825
01:28:18,000 --> 01:28:20,400
Speaker 2: he can do with his legs. Eight carries forty two yards,

1826
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 2: about five and a half yards per carry. And I thought,

1827
01:28:24,240 --> 01:28:26,840
Speaker 2: you know, just watching with the blind eye, I'm not

1828
01:28:26,960 --> 01:28:29,920
Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin, I'm not Arthur Smith, the offensive coordinator. I

1829
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 2: thought Justin Fields just looked more comfortable. He just looks younger,

1830
01:28:33,120 --> 01:28:36,960
Speaker 2: he just looks more spry. And I think, I don't

1831
01:28:36,960 --> 01:28:39,840
Speaker 2: think it's long before he is your starting quarterback of

1832
01:28:39,840 --> 01:28:40,839
Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steel.

1833
01:28:40,800 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 3: I don't either, and I've thought that from the beginning

1834
01:28:43,280 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 3: and the Russell Wilson experience. Look He's had a great

1835
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,360
Speaker 3: career and it's been fun to watch, but it feels

1836
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:52,200
Speaker 3: like it's about over. And certainly the peak has been

1837
01:28:52,280 --> 01:28:55,080
Speaker 3: over now for probably four or five years at least.

1838
01:28:55,880 --> 01:28:59,120
Speaker 3: He's probably already looking towards this post playing career and

1839
01:28:59,160 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 3: what he's going to do. He's going to invest in

1840
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,400
Speaker 3: you know, he's got a bright life ahead of him.

1841
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 3: He does. He's done really well for himself, and he's

1842
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:08,880
Speaker 3: got a you know, a great family and a lot

1843
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 3: of things going on. And I'm acting like I'm doing

1844
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:13,040
Speaker 3: a eulogy for him, and I kind of am, because

1845
01:29:13,040 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 3: I think the career is about over, and there's not

1846
01:29:16,040 --> 01:29:18,960
Speaker 3: an advantage if you're the Pittsburgh Steelers in running him

1847
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,800
Speaker 3: out there to play when what you really needs as

1848
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 3: much intel and information as you can get on Justin

1849
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,639
Speaker 3: Fields to determine whether or not he can be your

1850
01:29:27,680 --> 01:29:30,760
Speaker 3: guy for the next half decade, or if you need

1851
01:29:30,840 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 3: to continue to look, because until you have a quarterback,

1852
01:29:33,479 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 3: you are always looking for one, and Justin Fields was

1853
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:40,040
Speaker 3: drafted pretty high. Justin Fields has a lot of things

1854
01:29:40,080 --> 01:29:41,640
Speaker 3: that you like and a couple of things that have

1855
01:29:41,720 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 3: worried you. But at the same time, how much of

1856
01:29:43,520 --> 01:29:46,840
Speaker 3: that was a function of the dysfunction that he experienced

1857
01:29:46,880 --> 01:29:49,120
Speaker 3: in Chicago. And is he playing with a chip on

1858
01:29:49,200 --> 01:29:51,839
Speaker 3: his shoulder now? And have you picked up somebody special?

1859
01:29:52,320 --> 01:29:54,559
Speaker 3: And as we mentioned when we talked about Arthur Smith

1860
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:59,360
Speaker 3: joining him as offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith has done this

1861
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:03,120
Speaker 3: before with guy who had left the place that drafted

1862
01:30:03,160 --> 01:30:04,680
Speaker 3: him where it didn't work out great for him and

1863
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:08,160
Speaker 3: Ryan Tannehill and Tannehill played great football under Arthur Smith

1864
01:30:08,200 --> 01:30:11,599
Speaker 3: and Arthur Smith maximized his strengths, ran the football around him,

1865
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:15,320
Speaker 3: and Tannehill did what he needed to do. Now. Tannehill,

1866
01:30:15,479 --> 01:30:17,240
Speaker 3: even though he is an athlete, he was not the

1867
01:30:17,320 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 3: kind of athlete that Justin Fields is. I think Arthur

1868
01:30:20,120 --> 01:30:23,720
Speaker 3: Smith is smart enough to do some really good things

1869
01:30:23,760 --> 01:30:27,519
Speaker 3: with Justin Fields. So I think you're right. I don't

1870
01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,200
Speaker 3: think it has anything to do with what they did

1871
01:30:29,320 --> 01:30:31,439
Speaker 3: or didn't do in a preseason game. I just think

1872
01:30:31,520 --> 01:30:34,760
Speaker 3: that there's no there's no benefit at all to playing

1873
01:30:34,800 --> 01:30:37,200
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson this year for you're the Steelers. Yeah.

1874
01:30:37,439 --> 01:30:40,240
Speaker 2: And I and the other thing too, is that you

1875
01:30:40,360 --> 01:30:44,519
Speaker 2: know I said this earlier, but I do think it is.

1876
01:30:45,360 --> 01:30:47,120
Speaker 2: I just don't think Mike Tomlin at this point in

1877
01:30:47,200 --> 01:30:51,759
Speaker 2: his career, wants to go through the draft another rookie

1878
01:30:51,880 --> 01:30:53,680
Speaker 2: and see if it works out. Now if he has

1879
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:56,559
Speaker 2: no choice, if both those guys completely flop, and I'm

1880
01:30:56,840 --> 01:30:58,599
Speaker 2: you know, nobody's wishing it well, but it's the truth.

1881
01:30:58,640 --> 01:31:01,479
Speaker 2: You know, like both of them completely, Justin Fields clearly

1882
01:31:01,560 --> 01:31:03,960
Speaker 2: is in a starting caliber quarterback, then you do what

1883
01:31:04,040 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 2: you gotta do. But I think I don't think you

1884
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,400
Speaker 2: bring in both if you're not thinking that one of

1885
01:31:09,479 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 2: them can't be the answer, at least for a couple

1886
01:31:12,080 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 2: of years. And obviously I think the hope would be

1887
01:31:14,920 --> 01:31:16,880
Speaker 2: that Justin Fields would be an answer for much more

1888
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:18,880
Speaker 2: than a couple of years, really quickly. A couple other

1889
01:31:18,920 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 2: results Jason Chicago the Bears win twenty seven to three

1890
01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:26,280
Speaker 2: over the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow did not play for

1891
01:31:26,320 --> 01:31:29,560
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals, but Caleb Williams did play in the

1892
01:31:29,600 --> 01:31:32,559
Speaker 2: first quarter for the Chicago Bears. Into the second quarter,

1893
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,240
Speaker 2: a pair of scoring drives, A deep pass to Roma

1894
01:31:36,280 --> 01:31:39,560
Speaker 2: Doonze sets up a field goal. A rushing touchdown for

1895
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:43,120
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams in this game as well, showed off some

1896
01:31:43,560 --> 01:31:48,120
Speaker 2: really bright flashes. The stats don't overwhelm me six or

1897
01:31:48,160 --> 01:31:52,280
Speaker 2: thirteen passing seventy five yards. Caleb's the guy. I mean,

1898
01:31:52,360 --> 01:31:53,960
Speaker 2: that's one place where we don't have to try to

1899
01:31:53,960 --> 01:31:56,720
Speaker 2: figure out who's gonna be the quarterback week one. But

1900
01:31:56,920 --> 01:32:00,720
Speaker 2: Caleb once again showing you know he can he can

1901
01:32:00,800 --> 01:32:02,400
Speaker 2: make playsoff script as well as anybody.

1902
01:32:02,479 --> 01:32:05,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, that's not that's not news to

1903
01:32:05,400 --> 01:32:07,679
Speaker 3: either one of us. We've been high on Caleb Williams

1904
01:32:07,720 --> 01:32:10,800
Speaker 3: for years. I'm thrilled that he's in the NFL. I

1905
01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:12,960
Speaker 3: can't wait to see what he actually looks like in

1906
01:32:13,080 --> 01:32:15,720
Speaker 3: games that count. I just don't get too high or

1907
01:32:15,720 --> 01:32:18,639
Speaker 3: too low. If you struggle in the preseason, I don't

1908
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,439
Speaker 3: think that that's necessarily an omen of you being a

1909
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:24,120
Speaker 3: terrible quarterback in the NFL. Even in that season. I mean,

1910
01:32:24,479 --> 01:32:26,800
Speaker 3: you know you had the famous you know Colts going

1911
01:32:26,840 --> 01:32:30,519
Speaker 3: winless and all that kind of stuff. There's you know,

1912
01:32:30,680 --> 01:32:33,360
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud last year, fifty five percent completion percentage

1913
01:32:33,360 --> 01:32:35,640
Speaker 3: in the preseason, had a touchdown and an interception, He

1914
01:32:35,720 --> 01:32:38,640
Speaker 3: started three games, He played a decent amount. He had

1915
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,719
Speaker 3: a pretty good rookie year. And I think Caleb Wiets

1916
01:32:40,760 --> 01:32:42,799
Speaker 3: probably will too. And he's gonna do really good stuff,

1917
01:32:43,680 --> 01:32:47,200
Speaker 3: and he's gonna he's gonna scare you to death if

1918
01:32:47,240 --> 01:32:49,920
Speaker 3: you're a defense because he's just he's one of those guys.

1919
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,000
Speaker 3: He reminds you of Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers in his

1920
01:32:53,160 --> 01:32:56,479
Speaker 3: prime in the way that the play is not over

1921
01:32:56,640 --> 01:33:00,360
Speaker 3: until he is officially out of bounds. That's That's one thing.

1922
01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,280
Speaker 3: Mahomes has taken advantage of what the rules is. Gods

1923
01:33:03,280 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 3: don't want to hit him because he steps out of

1924
01:33:04,800 --> 01:33:07,840
Speaker 3: bounds and you get that late hit penalty. But if

1925
01:33:07,920 --> 01:33:09,920
Speaker 3: you kind of sit there, then he'll get three more

1926
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,400
Speaker 3: yards on you and move the chains. Rogers was the

1927
01:33:12,600 --> 01:33:15,160
Speaker 3: master of doing that, and now you're seeing that with

1928
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:18,240
Speaker 3: Mahomes and Kayta Williams has that same kind same kind

1929
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:21,719
Speaker 3: of IQ. He's got that same kind of leadership ability.

1930
01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:24,240
Speaker 3: He's going to take advantage when he can. You saw

1931
01:33:24,320 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 3: the flashes of brilliance that make him the number one pick.

1932
01:33:27,240 --> 01:33:29,439
Speaker 3: I think he's going to be really good. There's nothing

1933
01:33:29,479 --> 01:33:31,240
Speaker 3: more that he can do than what he did in

1934
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,720
Speaker 3: terms of the special stuff. I just I don't care

1935
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:37,080
Speaker 3: that he did it in the preseason, like that doesn't

1936
01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,160
Speaker 3: mean anything to me. I was already high on him,

1937
01:33:39,240 --> 01:33:41,080
Speaker 3: so I'm not surprised one way or the other.

1938
01:33:41,640 --> 01:33:45,080
Speaker 2: Two other results from Saturday that are worth noting Jade

1939
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:48,040
Speaker 2: and Daniels ten of twelve passing seventy eight yards for

1940
01:33:48,160 --> 01:33:52,160
Speaker 2: the Washington Commanders in a loss. And oh, by the way,

1941
01:33:52,320 --> 01:33:56,439
Speaker 2: speaking of losses and staying in that division, Daniel Jones

1942
01:33:56,479 --> 01:33:59,479
Speaker 2: a pair of interceptions in his return to the field.

1943
01:34:00,080 --> 01:34:02,040
Speaker 2: You are looking for any sort of positive for the

1944
01:34:02,120 --> 01:34:06,360
Speaker 2: New York Football Giants the early first round pick Malik

1945
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 2: Neighbors four catches fifty four yards. Of course, question is

1946
01:34:10,040 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 2: who the heck is gonna be throwing him the ball

1947
01:34:12,160 --> 01:34:16,240

Speaker 2: your takes from the for the ap pole in a minute.

1974
01:35:51,640 --> 01:35:54,000
Speaker 2: We did some of them again in the previous hour,

1975
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:57,400
Speaker 2: but I'm curious about this. I know you and already

1976
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:00,960
Speaker 2: talked a lot last week about the Sanders kind of

1977
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:03,280
Speaker 2: blow up, but the CBS reporter who had nothing to

1978
01:36:03,320 --> 01:36:06,200
Speaker 2: do with the other CBS reporter that was mad. Of course,

1979
01:36:06,320 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 2: that was prior to or maybe I guess it was

1980
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:13,160
Speaker 2: probably right around the same time of the Athlon Sports

1981
01:36:13,400 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 2: piece that you know, I'll be honest, I not criticizing,

1982
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:19,840
Speaker 2: but think there were some holes in that story. But

1983
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,280
Speaker 2: the point I'm trying to make is that we are

1984
01:36:22,439 --> 01:36:26,440
Speaker 2: entering year two of the Dion Sanders experience at Colorado.

1985
01:36:27,320 --> 01:36:29,160
Speaker 2: As I mentioned a minute ago, and it sounded like

1986
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,160
Speaker 2: you were excited to talk about. They actually open in

1987
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,479
Speaker 2: exactly about well not exactly about ten days from now,

1988
01:36:36,560 --> 01:36:40,360
Speaker 2: on August twenty ninth. They will be that first Thursday

1989
01:36:40,400 --> 01:36:43,080
Speaker 2: of the college football season. They play North Dakota State

1990
01:36:43,160 --> 01:36:46,400
Speaker 2: at home. Doesn't really get easier from there. At Nebraska,

1991
01:36:46,439 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 2: which should be improved, at Colorado State, which we know

1992
01:36:49,080 --> 01:36:51,760
Speaker 2: was that thriller in overtime last year that they won,

1993
01:36:52,920 --> 01:36:54,640
Speaker 2: and then they jump right into Big Twelve play. And

1994
01:36:54,680 --> 01:36:57,559
Speaker 2: by the way, the Big Twelve has five ranked teams.

1995
01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:01,519
Speaker 2: Colorado plays all five of them, including the final three

1996
01:37:01,640 --> 01:37:04,840
Speaker 2: games of the year. They play teams that are starting

1997
01:37:04,880 --> 01:37:07,360
Speaker 2: the season ranked in the preseason top twenty five I'll

1998
01:37:07,400 --> 01:37:09,879
Speaker 2: just bring it up to say, I'm curious from your perspective,

1999
01:37:09,880 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 2: you love college football what like, So really two questions One,

2000
01:37:15,880 --> 01:37:18,559
Speaker 2: what is your expectation of this team? But I think

2001
01:37:18,880 --> 01:37:23,120
Speaker 2: more importantly what I'm curious about is what do you think, Like,

2002
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:27,600
Speaker 2: I'm just curious what you think would be considered a

2003
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:32,400
Speaker 2: successful season for this team, because obviously they create they're

2004
01:37:32,439 --> 01:37:35,479
Speaker 2: just such a polarizing group of guys out there in Boulder.

2005
01:37:35,880 --> 01:37:37,599
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they need to go five hundred

2006
01:37:38,320 --> 01:37:45,599
Speaker 3: at least to feel successful overall, eyeball on their schedule.

2007
01:37:45,640 --> 01:37:50,959
Speaker 3: I gave them five and seven. There's just too much turnover,

2008
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:56,240
Speaker 3: there's too much change. You've had more than ninety transfers

2009
01:37:57,000 --> 01:38:01,080
Speaker 3: since Dion's been there that have come in. It's a

2010
01:38:01,200 --> 01:38:04,600
Speaker 3: team that has nine on both sides now they have

2011
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:08,920
Speaker 3: nine new offensive and defensive line transfers. Now. They weren't

2012
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:12,760
Speaker 3: good in those spots last year. So maybe you're gonna

2013
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,200
Speaker 3: be a lot better there. But you just have so

2014
01:38:14,320 --> 01:38:17,280
Speaker 3: much new there that has to get, you know, kind

2015
01:38:17,320 --> 01:38:20,640
Speaker 3: of familiar with what's going on. They you know, they

2016
01:38:20,720 --> 01:38:22,719
Speaker 3: had the whole thing with Sean Davis where they demoted

2017
01:38:22,800 --> 01:38:26,520
Speaker 3: him from OC their defensive coordinator left in the offseason,

2018
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:29,920
Speaker 3: and I mean everything just trended down. They were one

2019
01:38:30,000 --> 01:38:32,360
Speaker 3: and seven in their last eight games, and it seems

2020
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,880
Speaker 3: like Dion doesn't like that they're picking him low, that

2021
01:38:35,960 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 3: they're picking them low. And that's what led to that

2022
01:38:38,560 --> 01:38:41,639
Speaker 3: whole deal with CBS, which is just that's Dion should

2023
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:44,320
Speaker 3: be above that, quite frankly, like who cares what they're

2024
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 3: what they've rated, you like, just go out there and

2025
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,479
Speaker 3: win games. Nobody's that's the best way to shove people

2026
01:38:49,600 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 3: up in sports, to just go perform and succeed. In

2027
01:38:53,520 --> 01:38:56,000
Speaker 3: the face of all of that, There's just there's so

2028
01:38:56,160 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 3: much here. And then the question that's always out there is,

2029
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:00,760
Speaker 3: I mean, how long is it going to be there?

2030
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:02,240
Speaker 3: He says he's going to be there past when his

2031
01:39:02,360 --> 01:39:04,400
Speaker 3: kids are there. We'll believe that when we see. It

2032
01:39:04,520 --> 01:39:06,000
Speaker 3: depends on how they are. If they if he can

2033
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:08,800
Speaker 3: get a better opportunity, he'll leave and he'll go somewhere else.

2034
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:12,320
Speaker 3: And so that's something else that you have to evaluate

2035
01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:16,000
Speaker 3: and look at. I don't like for it to feel

2036
01:39:16,080 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 3: successful in the eyes of the fans. I think you

2037
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 3: would want to go at least with six wins and

2038
01:39:23,560 --> 01:39:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't know that you can get there because the

2039
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:27,880
Speaker 3: schedule is going to be tough. The North Dakota State game,

2040
01:39:27,960 --> 01:39:30,360
Speaker 3: you you know, Dion joked and he said, why couldn't

2041
01:39:30,360 --> 01:39:31,960
Speaker 3: they have given us a layup on the way out,

2042
01:39:32,600 --> 01:39:34,680
Speaker 3: because you know, that's a really good football team. Even

2043
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:36,519
Speaker 3: though they're not the team that they were you know,

2044
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:38,280
Speaker 3: two three years ago, it's still a nine to four

2045
01:39:38,320 --> 01:39:41,519
Speaker 3: team last year. It's a team that UH is going

2046
01:39:41,600 --> 01:39:44,719
Speaker 3: to challenge them, that's always well coached, that's fundamentally sound,

2047
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:46,640
Speaker 3: and we're going to get a good look at what

2048
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:50,040
Speaker 3: they what they could potentially be before they get into

2049
01:39:50,080 --> 01:39:53,040
Speaker 3: their own conference play. So there's just there's just a

2050
01:39:53,160 --> 01:39:56,439
Speaker 3: whole lot of things in flux and too many things

2051
01:39:56,560 --> 01:39:59,040
Speaker 3: and too many question marks for my taste, which is

2052
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,759
Speaker 3: why I still think five wins is about the ceiling.

2053
01:40:02,200 --> 01:40:04,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, first of all, I'll say this, and this isn't

2054
01:40:04,360 --> 01:40:06,720
Speaker 2: a Dion think. I don't get why anybody's scheduled in

2055
01:40:06,720 --> 01:40:07,800
Speaker 2: North Kota State these days.

2056
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's just like that's just asking for it.

2057
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 2: It is, I mean, it is the cliche and it's

2058
01:40:14,200 --> 01:40:18,680
Speaker 2: true though, it's like it's the no, it's the all downside,

2059
01:40:18,840 --> 01:40:22,240
Speaker 2: no upside situation. You're paying them to come to your place.

2060
01:40:23,479 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 2: I get Listen. I guess if you feel like you

2061
01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:28,240
Speaker 2: need a little bit of a challenge in the out

2062
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:31,280
Speaker 2: of conference, but you're in a power conference, you know

2063
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:33,320
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like like, you're gonna be even if

2064
01:40:33,360 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 2: the Big twelve isn't what the Pac twelve was last year,

2065
01:40:35,600 --> 01:40:37,800
Speaker 2: You're going to be challenged. As I said, five teams

2066
01:40:37,800 --> 01:40:40,280
Speaker 2: in the preseason top twenty five. So I just don't

2067
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 2: get it. Yeah, I mean, I think, first of all,

2068
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,080
Speaker 2: you gotta get to a bowl game. I think that

2069
01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:49,679
Speaker 2: goes without saying. But I'm just fascinated by how it looks,

2070
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:53,960
Speaker 2: how it sounds, and you know, I think a lot

2071
01:40:54,040 --> 01:40:56,639
Speaker 2: of the stuff from last year, like like if you're

2072
01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 2: you know, let's say you beat North Dakota State, you

2073
01:40:59,240 --> 01:41:03,439
Speaker 2: lose to Nebraska, you beat Colorado State, like, you know whatever.

2074
01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:07,240
Speaker 2: Let's say you're you're four and three, like like, yes,

2075
01:41:08,320 --> 01:41:11,080
Speaker 2: if you're five and one after six games, it's really interesting.

2076
01:41:11,120 --> 01:41:13,680
Speaker 2: And if you're one in five after six games, it's

2077
01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:18,960
Speaker 2: definitely really interesting. I don't know, like does three and

2078
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:21,400
Speaker 2: four do people care? Four and three do people care?

2079
01:41:21,439 --> 01:41:24,000
Speaker 2: I think the answer is no. And I think the

2080
01:41:24,040 --> 01:41:27,120
Speaker 2: broader question I think that gets us to that point

2081
01:41:27,840 --> 01:41:31,000
Speaker 2: is the transfer stuff. Is that you know, listen, we

2082
01:41:31,880 --> 01:41:34,599
Speaker 2: on the one hand, on paper, they are a better

2083
01:41:34,720 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 2: team than a year ago. I mean, listen, you know,

2084
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:38,200
Speaker 2: you look at some of the transfers they brought in.

2085
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 2: I mean, these guys are productive players. And that is

2086
01:41:42,240 --> 01:41:46,400
Speaker 2: one thing I will defend him on is that. You know, listen,

2087
01:41:46,479 --> 01:41:49,280
Speaker 2: he took a million guys last year, but he obviously

2088
01:41:49,320 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 2: inherited the worst Power five team at the time, and

2089
01:41:52,360 --> 01:41:54,280
Speaker 2: then you know, felt like you kind of just filled

2090
01:41:54,320 --> 01:41:56,080
Speaker 2: for the sake of filling. This year, he did bring

2091
01:41:56,200 --> 01:42:00,599
Speaker 2: in guys at most of those crucial positions that can play.

2092
01:42:00,720 --> 01:42:03,680
Speaker 2: You know, a couple thousand yard receivers, running back from

2093
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:06,320
Speaker 2: Ohio State. You know, offensive tackle was the number one

2094
01:42:06,360 --> 01:42:09,800
Speaker 2: recruit in America. Other offensive tackle played for four years

2095
01:42:09,840 --> 01:42:12,040
Speaker 2: in the Big Ten in Indiana. A couple of nice

2096
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:14,240
Speaker 2: defensive linemen. You know, I listen, I don't think that

2097
01:42:14,360 --> 01:42:16,200
Speaker 2: they're going to have the depth to compete at the

2098
01:42:16,280 --> 01:42:20,719
Speaker 2: highest levels. But those frontline guys are actually on paper

2099
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:24,880
Speaker 2: much better than they've had. But you know, one is,

2100
01:42:25,439 --> 01:42:27,519
Speaker 2: you know, can they perform at the level that they

2101
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,240
Speaker 2: have at other places. And then two, I think to

2102
01:42:30,360 --> 01:42:32,800
Speaker 2: your point, you know, you're just asking a lot of

2103
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,240
Speaker 2: new guys to mesh together quickly. And you know, I

2104
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,600
Speaker 2: guess there are examples. You know, TCU the year they

2105
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 2: made the College Football Playoff and championship game was a

2106
01:42:42,320 --> 01:42:44,960
Speaker 2: lot of transfers, but there just isn't a huge track

2107
01:42:45,080 --> 01:42:48,840
Speaker 2: record of that much roster turnover in that short of

2108
01:42:48,880 --> 01:42:51,640
Speaker 2: an amount of time and just having the team be

2109
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:54,320
Speaker 2: able to come together and exceed expectations.

2110
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,320
Speaker 3: You know, Yeah, I mean I agree, And look, Travis

2111
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:57,960
Speaker 3: Hunter is one of the best players in the country.

2112
01:42:59,600 --> 01:43:01,600
Speaker 3: I kind of I wish they would pick aside and

2113
01:43:01,720 --> 01:43:04,439
Speaker 3: let him do one thing really well, even though he's

2114
01:43:04,479 --> 01:43:07,320
Speaker 3: good at both. I understand, but I mean, he's a

2115
01:43:07,400 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 3: dude that we're gonna be watching on Sundays for a

2116
01:43:09,080 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 3: long time. He's really good. And we know Chador is

2117
01:43:11,320 --> 01:43:12,800
Speaker 3: really good and he's gonna be obut to try and

2118
01:43:12,840 --> 01:43:15,680
Speaker 3: win Heisman this year. I think there's there's so much

2119
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:19,600
Speaker 3: of a circus atmosphere because of the celebrity of it

2120
01:43:19,720 --> 01:43:22,280
Speaker 3: all the way it's set up. I think that makes

2121
01:43:22,320 --> 01:43:24,720
Speaker 3: it tougher for them, even if they can go under

2122
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:28,679
Speaker 3: the radar and just play football, they get people's best

2123
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:32,880
Speaker 3: shot because people kind of just want that win over them,

2124
01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,560
Speaker 3: Like Oregon clearly wanted to put some stink on it

2125
01:43:36,320 --> 01:43:39,000
Speaker 3: against them, and Landing made no bones about that, and

2126
01:43:39,160 --> 01:43:41,400
Speaker 3: other guys did that. I think you're gonna get more

2127
01:43:41,439 --> 01:43:43,479
Speaker 3: of that kind of thing. And then you wonder, you

2128
01:43:43,520 --> 01:43:46,439
Speaker 3: talk to your point about three and four, four and three, Well,

2129
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:50,320
Speaker 3: what has Dion said at three and four four and three? Sure,

2130
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 3: is Dion just gonna be able to stay in his lane?

2131
01:43:52,720 --> 01:43:54,800
Speaker 3: Or is Dion going to be Dion? If Dion is

2132
01:43:54,880 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 3: Dion and he is out front, even if that team

2133
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:01,479
Speaker 3: is mediocre to bad, you know, I don't know what

2134
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:04,920
Speaker 3: that look is if they be. The best result that

2135
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:07,000
Speaker 3: you could have for college football is Dion to be

2136
01:44:07,240 --> 01:44:09,519
Speaker 3: full Dion, but then to win like seven or eight

2137
01:44:09,600 --> 01:44:12,720
Speaker 3: games and be really competitive and better than people think.

2138
01:44:13,120 --> 01:44:16,200
Speaker 3: That would be an incredible storyline this year, especially the

2139
01:44:16,240 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 3: way it all ended last year going one and seven.

2140
01:44:18,680 --> 01:44:20,640
Speaker 3: If you're able to kind of flip that script and

2141
01:44:20,840 --> 01:44:23,160
Speaker 3: prove that a lot of the things that Dion did

2142
01:44:23,800 --> 01:44:27,760
Speaker 3: that he's been criticized for, you know, he's been able

2143
01:44:27,800 --> 01:44:29,479
Speaker 3: to go out and back them up with the way

2144
01:44:29,520 --> 01:44:31,439
Speaker 3: his team has played on the field. I think that

2145
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:35,160
Speaker 3: would be a fascinating case study going forward, and I

2146
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 3: think it would be a great storyline to follow all year.

2147
01:44:38,160 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 3: The worst case, I think is what you're discussing, which

2148
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 3: is you're just kind of you're not awful enough for

2149
01:44:44,439 --> 01:44:47,040
Speaker 3: that to be a story. You're also not good enough

2150
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:49,080
Speaker 3: for that to be a story. So you're just kind

2151
01:44:49,120 --> 01:44:51,200
Speaker 3: of one of those middle of the road teams where

2152
01:44:51,640 --> 01:44:53,760
Speaker 3: we just want to see what Shadur's numbers look like

2153
01:44:54,160 --> 01:44:56,200
Speaker 3: and what Hunter is doing and maybe a couple of

2154
01:44:56,240 --> 01:44:57,120
Speaker 3: other guys and that's it.

2155
01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:01,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, and I think that's all very fair and

2156
01:45:01,640 --> 01:45:03,320
Speaker 2: I think it'll be fascinating to see. The only thing

2157
01:45:03,320 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 2: I would disagree on is I think the best case

2158
01:45:05,120 --> 01:45:09,080
Speaker 2: scenario for college football, you know, forgets seven or eight wins,

2159
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:12,120
Speaker 2: I think it's you know, ten and one in compete

2160
01:45:12,200 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 2: for playoff. But you know, we'll see if he gets

2161
01:45:14,360 --> 01:45:17,120
Speaker 2: at worth knowing by the way, Dion's last two years

2162
01:45:17,200 --> 01:45:19,240
Speaker 2: coach primes last two years at Jackson State, they were

2163
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:22,720
Speaker 2: twenty three and three overall, so he has won and

2164
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:24,360
Speaker 2: I think really quickly because I want to get to

2165
01:45:24,360 --> 01:45:27,360
Speaker 2: the saga like that is an important note that you know,

2166
01:45:27,479 --> 01:45:29,600
Speaker 2: you and I I think we fairly came back to

2167
01:45:29,720 --> 01:45:32,880
Speaker 2: time and time like. It's not just because he's Deon Sanders.

2168
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 2: It's not even just because he was bringing Travis Hunter

2169
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:37,880
Speaker 2: and Shadoor with him and all that. Like, he did

2170
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:41,479
Speaker 2: win at a very high level at Jackson State. But

2171
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,000
Speaker 2: we'll see if it continues to translate at the power

2172
01:45:45,280 --> 01:45:48,799
Speaker 2: four level now at Colorado Colorado again, opening August twenty

2173
01:45:48,960 --> 01:45:51,920
Speaker 2: ninth against North Korta State. Fox Sports Radio Raeors Jason

2174
01:45:51,920 --> 01:45:53,840
Speaker 2: Martin will come back talk a little bit more college

2175
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:56,040
Speaker 2: football for we do though for the first time, for

2176
01:45:56,120 --> 01:45:58,200
Speaker 2: the final time to CEF, I should say to Seager,

2177
01:45:58,320 --> 01:46:00,040
Speaker 2: what is trending power for that?

2178
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,760
Speaker 6: It's going to take some getting used to. By the way,

2179
01:46:02,800 --> 01:46:05,559
Speaker 6: you mentioned Colorado paying North Dakota State for the visit

2180
01:46:05,680 --> 01:46:07,679
Speaker 6: in that Thursday night game at the end of this month.

2181
01:46:07,840 --> 01:46:12,360
Speaker 6: Reportedly it's a seven hundred thousand dollars guaranteed payout. Don't

2182
01:46:12,400 --> 01:46:14,680
Speaker 6: get it for an FCS team to come visit and

2183
01:46:14,800 --> 01:46:17,240
Speaker 6: everybody has one easy home game like that. I mean

2184
01:46:17,320 --> 01:46:20,680
Speaker 6: in future seasons, year after year, they'll get one at

2185
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,720
Speaker 6: Colorado Delaware one year, and then Weaver State, and then

2186
01:46:23,800 --> 01:46:27,200
Speaker 6: Colgate and then UMass and so forth. What I like

2187
01:46:27,280 --> 01:46:29,360
Speaker 6: about the schedule this year is the week after that

2188
01:46:29,479 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 6: it's gonna be Colorado at Nebraska. I know it's not

2189
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 6: the same as years past, but at least once one time,

2190
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:37,400
Speaker 6: this one time in future years, we're gonna get a

2191
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:40,799
Speaker 6: Colorado Nebraska matchup. And the week after that is Colorado

2192
01:46:40,880 --> 01:46:43,760
Speaker 6: at Colorado State. And that's not listed on Colorado's future

2193
01:46:43,800 --> 01:46:47,600
Speaker 6: schedule at all after this year for about four years, unfortunately.

2194
01:46:47,920 --> 01:46:49,880
Speaker 6: But the Buffaloes will have home and home with the

2195
01:46:50,120 --> 01:46:54,240
Speaker 6: Georgia Tech and with Northwestern and other seasons. UFC three

2202
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:17,320
Speaker 6: was the star, kicking fifty four yard field goal early

2203
01:47:17,439 --> 01:47:20,800
Speaker 6: in the game. Aubrey made a sixty six yard field

Speaker 6: the Chiefs twenty four to twenty three. We mentioned last

2217
01:48:04,280 --> 01:48:06,920
Speaker 6: hour that it's a former spring football kicker who was

2218
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:09,920
Speaker 6: entrenched at the kicking job for Dallas these days. Well,

2219
01:48:10,280 --> 01:48:13,160
Speaker 6: the Michigan Panthers this spring had a kicker in the

2220
01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:17,200
Speaker 6: UFL that made three field goals of sixty yards or longer.

2221
01:48:17,560 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 6: He's with the Detroit Lions now and had the game

2222
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:24,320
Speaker 6: winner as time expired at Kansas City. Today, Jake Bates

2236
01:49:03,040 --> 01:49:03,800

Speaker 2: Back to you, Thank you very much to Sega, to

2254
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:53,560
Speaker 2: sag Up. A great evening to say, of course, coming

2255
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:58,400
Speaker 2: to the studio straight from that Chargers Rams game where

2256
01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:00,439
Speaker 2: he was working with the Chargers. Fox Sports Radio aeron

2257
01:50:00,439 --> 01:50:03,639
Speaker 2: towards Jason Martin broadcasting live from the Tyreck dot Com studios.

2258
01:50:03,960 --> 01:50:06,679
Speaker 2: Weren't taking up till two am Eastern time, really quick,

2259
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 2: jmart College football. So we've talked a lot throughout the show.

2260
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:18,439
Speaker 2: You had five takeaways from the ap pole that dropped

2261
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:22,000
Speaker 2: earlier this week. We hit on the first three earlier

2262
01:50:22,080 --> 01:50:24,040
Speaker 2: in the show. Let's get to number four right now.

2263
01:50:24,160 --> 01:50:25,800
Speaker 3: Jason all right, So there's I mean, there's a few

2264
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 3: obvious ones that I'm kind of looking past Kaitlyn to board.

2265
01:50:29,400 --> 01:50:32,599
Speaker 3: Alabama's gonna be fascinating. I really looking forward to seeing

2266
01:50:32,640 --> 01:50:34,680
Speaker 3: what that looks like. And you talk about stepping in

2267
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:38,400
Speaker 3: shoes that no one wants to step in. That's gonna

2268
01:50:38,400 --> 01:50:43,599
Speaker 3: be tough. But what I wrote down is Utah question, Martin.

2269
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 3: You get camerasing back. They're always well coached, they're always

2270
01:50:50,040 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 3: difficult to match up against, they're always ready to play,

2271
01:50:54,560 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 3: But how good can they be? Like they're kind of

2272
01:50:56,479 --> 01:51:00,680
Speaker 3: twelve or thirteen on most people's list, that seems they

2273
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,680
Speaker 3: could be that kind of sleeper team that ends up

2274
01:51:03,720 --> 01:51:06,719
Speaker 3: in the top ten, maybe even in you know, top seven,

2275
01:51:06,840 --> 01:51:09,960
Speaker 3: top eight in the country because they're always sneaky good

2276
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:13,040
Speaker 3: as long as they are healthy in the right positions.

2277
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:15,000
Speaker 3: And you know, you didn't have Cam rising pretty much

2278
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,720
Speaker 3: at all last year. I'm just curious to see what

2279
01:51:17,800 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 3: they are this year. And maybe maybe that's just me,

2280
01:51:20,520 --> 01:51:23,080
Speaker 3: but I'm pretty pretty interested to see what Utah looks like.

2281
01:51:23,240 --> 01:51:25,760
Speaker 2: Well, two big picture things. First of all, they you know,

2282
01:51:25,840 --> 01:51:28,840
Speaker 2: they basically played a third string quarterback the entire year. Yeah,

2283
01:51:29,080 --> 01:51:32,400
Speaker 2: and still went eight and five. You know, eight and

2284
01:51:32,520 --> 01:51:34,599
Speaker 2: five for them was a disappointment off back to backpack

2285
01:51:34,680 --> 01:51:38,800
Speaker 2: twelve titles. But you did that without cam rising at all.

2286
01:51:38,920 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 2: You beat obviously USC on the road, you beat Florida

2287
01:51:42,439 --> 01:51:44,720
Speaker 2: at home, so that was impressive. I just think the

2288
01:51:44,760 --> 01:51:48,280
Speaker 2: bigger picture is, you know, listen, as much as we

2289
01:51:48,400 --> 01:51:50,479
Speaker 2: love the SEC and the Big Ten, it's gonna take

2290
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:52,800
Speaker 2: up most of the oxygen in the room. We talked

2291
01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:54,640
Speaker 2: earlier about the Big Ten. It feels like it's going

2292
01:51:54,720 --> 01:51:57,560
Speaker 2: to be kind of an Ohio State Oregon thing. I

2293
01:51:57,600 --> 01:51:59,280
Speaker 2: think both of us would be surprised if it was

2294
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:01,840
Speaker 2: anyone other than that. And then the SEC is probably

2295
01:52:01,880 --> 01:52:05,280
Speaker 2: gonna be Georgia, maybe Alabama, maybe Texas whatever Big twelve

2296
01:52:05,320 --> 01:52:07,799
Speaker 2: I mentioned in a minute ago. There are five ranked

2297
01:52:07,800 --> 01:52:12,280
Speaker 2: teams in this conference, and like, I don't think it'd

2298
01:52:12,320 --> 01:52:15,680
Speaker 2: be that surprising for just about any of them. And then,

2299
01:52:15,760 --> 01:52:17,720
Speaker 2: by the way, there's also a bunch of teams that

2300
01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:20,479
Speaker 2: you know, you read reports out of their fall camps

2301
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:22,960
Speaker 2: that they feel like they're better than they're being credit for.

2302
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,559
Speaker 2: GI given credit for. West Virginia opens in Week one

2303
01:52:26,760 --> 01:52:30,280
Speaker 2: against Penn State at home. Iowa State. I think feels

2304
01:52:30,320 --> 01:52:32,280
Speaker 2: like they're gonna be better than they're being given credit for.

2305
01:52:32,760 --> 01:52:35,800
Speaker 2: And again, J Mart, that's on top of Kansas, Kansas State,

2306
01:52:35,920 --> 01:52:40,519
Speaker 2: Oklahoma Yeah, and Utah al or Oklahoma State excuse me,

2307
01:52:40,600 --> 01:52:43,479
Speaker 2: along with Utah and Arizona, who of course is coming

2308
01:52:43,520 --> 01:52:46,920
Speaker 2: off a ten win season that they're all ranked in

2309
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:48,679
Speaker 2: the top twenty five. I'll tell you what, j Mart,

2310
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:53,000
Speaker 2: why don't you save number five? The intrigue that you

2311
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:56,760
Speaker 2: have from the college football ap Top twenty five will

2312
01:52:56,880 --> 01:52:59,439
Speaker 2: come back. We'll wrap the show with some college football.

2313
01:53:00,080 --> 01:53:06,000
Speaker 2: That's next. Fox Sports Radio, Welcome back everybody. Fox Sports

Speaker 2: Give a standing ovation to Bernie Freaky Fratto. He is

2320

2321
01:53:27,840 --> 01:53:29,960
Speaker 2: into him and I can't wait to listen to him

2322
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,480
Speaker 2: on the way home. By the way, this is officially

2323
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:39,559
Speaker 2: our last show before football season starts. That's right, next

2324
01:53:39,640 --> 01:53:42,080
Speaker 2: week listen. It's a little bit of a light slate

2325
01:53:42,240 --> 01:53:45,799
Speaker 2: Week zero, but we do get Georgia Tech and Florida

2326
01:53:45,880 --> 01:53:49,599
Speaker 2: State in Week zero in Dublin. College football is coming

2327
01:53:49,960 --> 01:53:52,240
Speaker 2: throughout the show. We've been kind of sprinkling in some

2328
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:56,679
Speaker 2: college football conversation. Jmart had five takeaways from the first

2329
01:53:56,840 --> 01:54:00,200
Speaker 2: AP Top twenty five, which dropped earlier. This week, we've

2330
01:54:00,280 --> 01:54:03,439
Speaker 2: gotten to four of them so far, Jmar, what's number

2331
01:54:03,479 --> 01:54:07,120
Speaker 2: five on your list? Usc Oh, fight on baby?

2332
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:12,759
Speaker 3: I mean post Caleb, you are, you know, twenty third

2333
01:54:13,360 --> 01:54:16,640
Speaker 3: somewhere in that neighborhood depending on who you're looking at.

2334
01:54:16,760 --> 01:54:20,040
Speaker 3: Twenty two to twenty three. You paid Lincoln Riley a

2335
01:54:20,080 --> 01:54:22,280
Speaker 3: lot of money and he has said a lot of stuff,

2336
01:54:23,400 --> 01:54:26,200
Speaker 3: and now you're going to this big ten. You have

2337
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 3: a new defensive coordinator again, what is Miller Moss gonna be?

2338
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 3: What are they gonna do with a tougher schedule. I

2339
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:35,480
Speaker 3: just I'm looking at them, just like, are you getting

2340
01:54:35,480 --> 01:54:37,320
Speaker 3: your money's worth out of Lincoln Riley? I think you're

2341
01:54:37,320 --> 01:54:40,200
Speaker 3: gonna know after this year, Moss, if Moss is good,

2342
01:54:40,800 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 3: and you go out there and you you know, beat

2343
01:54:42,640 --> 01:54:45,400
Speaker 3: Penn State and you beat Notre Dame, and you know

2344
01:54:45,720 --> 01:54:48,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna have opportunities you're gonna have big time games

2345
01:54:48,800 --> 01:54:52,760
Speaker 3: that can be statement kind of wins for your program.

2346
01:54:52,880 --> 01:54:54,760
Speaker 3: I just don't know what they're gonna be. I don't

2347
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:58,320
Speaker 3: and I don't think that the Lincoln Riley, the bloom

2348
01:54:58,360 --> 01:54:59,640
Speaker 3: on the Lincoln Riley rose.

2349
01:54:59,520 --> 01:54:59,920
Speaker 1: Is not off.

2350
01:55:00,280 --> 01:55:02,640
Speaker 3: But it's not what it was two years ago either.

2351
01:55:02,760 --> 01:55:04,000
Speaker 3: I think a lot of people thought that was a

2352
01:55:04,040 --> 01:55:06,760
Speaker 3: whole lot more Caleb than it was Lincoln Riley. So

2353
01:55:07,080 --> 01:55:09,880
Speaker 3: this year you're looking at it and it's a big

2354
01:55:10,000 --> 01:55:13,080
Speaker 3: year for Lincoln because this is just a lot bigger

2355
01:55:13,200 --> 01:55:15,720
Speaker 3: question mark and also a bigger target going into the

2356
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:16,160
Speaker 3: Big Ten.

2357
01:55:16,600 --> 01:55:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, a couple of things. One, you know, I've said

2358
01:55:19,320 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 2: this a few times. I think as we've kind of

2359
01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:25,240
Speaker 2: ramped up towards the season, you know, born to this

2360
01:55:25,320 --> 01:55:28,680
Speaker 2: twelve team playoff era where nobody you know, there's no

2361
01:55:28,960 --> 01:55:31,000
Speaker 2: one loss that's going to put you out of anything.

2362
01:55:31,800 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 2: But I do think that Week one game LSU USC

2363
01:55:37,360 --> 01:55:40,879
Speaker 2: Sunday Night, remember they play Sunday of Labor Day weekend

2364
01:55:41,080 --> 01:55:45,120
Speaker 2: in Vegas. That one, to me, it feels like the

2365
01:55:45,320 --> 01:55:48,320
Speaker 2: loser of that game because LSU, despite having a Heisman

2366
01:55:48,400 --> 01:55:51,360
Speaker 2: Trophy winner and two first round picks, a wide receiver

2367
01:55:51,600 --> 01:55:54,080
Speaker 2: like they were disappointment last year too, went nine to

2368
01:55:54,200 --> 01:55:56,560
Speaker 2: three loss to the three best teams on their schedule,

2369
01:55:56,680 --> 01:56:01,320
Speaker 2: and you look at the schedule that follows, it's hard

2370
01:56:01,360 --> 01:56:04,400
Speaker 2: to see the pathway for that team that loses that

2371
01:56:04,560 --> 01:56:07,840
Speaker 2: game to kind of meet expectations. I know you're talking

2372
01:56:07,880 --> 01:56:11,880
Speaker 2: about USC, but LSU has you know, Ole Miss at home,

2373
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:14,880
Speaker 2: they have Bama at home, so they have a tough

2374
01:56:14,880 --> 01:56:16,840
Speaker 2: schedule ahead. What I would say really quick on USC,

2375
01:56:16,960 --> 01:56:19,880
Speaker 2: I think what'll be interesting is this is that listen.

2376
01:56:20,880 --> 01:56:22,480
Speaker 2: I know what I just said about the LSU game.

2377
01:56:22,480 --> 01:56:23,920
Speaker 2: If you lose to LSU, it's not the end of

2378
01:56:23,920 --> 01:56:26,000
Speaker 2: the world. If you lose at Michigan, it's not the

2379
01:56:26,120 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 2: end of the world. I think even if you lose

2380
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:29,160
Speaker 2: to Notre Dame in the end of the season, it's

2381
01:56:29,200 --> 01:56:31,680
Speaker 2: not the end of the world. I do think those

2382
01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:33,280
Speaker 2: middle tier games count.

2383
01:56:33,360 --> 01:56:33,520
Speaker 3: Though.

2384
01:56:34,360 --> 01:56:37,320
Speaker 2: You can't lose to Wisconsin at home. You know, Wisconsin's

2385
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 2: second year head coach Luke Fickle can't lose to Nebraska

2386
01:56:40,600 --> 01:56:44,320
Speaker 2: at home. Nebraska's second year head coach in Matt Ruhle,

2387
01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:47,360
Speaker 2: can't lose to Washington. I know it's on the road,

2388
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:52,200
Speaker 2: it's late in the year, cold, rainy weather. But it's

2389
01:56:52,320 --> 01:56:55,560
Speaker 2: like those are the kind of games that to your point, Jmart, like,

2390
01:56:55,840 --> 01:56:58,400
Speaker 2: if you're Lincoln Riley, you're getting paid eleven million or

2391
01:56:58,440 --> 01:57:01,840
Speaker 2: whatever it is dollars a year, Like you gotta beat

2392
01:57:02,240 --> 01:57:04,840
Speaker 2: those kind of teams. So I think if you're nine

2393
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:08,160
Speaker 2: to three and you lose to an LSU on a neutral,

2394
01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 2: you lose to a Penn State at home, you lose

2395
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:13,480
Speaker 2: at Michigan, that's okay. It's when you start losing maybe

2396
01:57:13,520 --> 01:57:17,200
Speaker 2: to a potential Wisconsin as I said, uh, Nebraska, somebody

2397
01:57:17,240 --> 01:57:18,960
Speaker 2: like that. I think that's when the fan base really

2398
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:19,360
Speaker 2: starts to.

2399
01:57:19,400 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 3: Turn on you, you know. And then I think, I

2400
01:57:20,640 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 3: think you know a larger point that's similar. It is

2401
01:57:23,200 --> 01:57:24,840
Speaker 3: just you look at USC and you look at Oregon.

2402
01:57:24,880 --> 01:57:26,160
Speaker 3: You look at a couple of these teams that are

2403
01:57:26,160 --> 01:57:27,720
Speaker 3: moving into the Big ten, and the same thing is

2404
01:57:27,720 --> 01:57:29,360
Speaker 3: true in the SEC. But I think it's even more

2405
01:57:29,400 --> 01:57:32,600
Speaker 3: true than a Big ten. The sheer physicality that you're

2406
01:57:32,640 --> 01:57:37,720
Speaker 3: gonna see up front if you're USC on a week

2407
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:40,200
Speaker 3: to week basis, I mean, you guys are gonna get

2408
01:57:40,240 --> 01:57:42,120
Speaker 3: beaten up in a way that I don't know that

2409
01:57:42,200 --> 01:57:45,960
Speaker 3: they were getting beaten up historically in the Pact twelve,

2410
01:57:46,320 --> 01:57:49,320
Speaker 3: the physicality is different, the temperature is going to be different.

2411
01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:52,920
Speaker 3: There's just there's a lot of stuff here that could

2412
01:57:52,960 --> 01:57:55,760
Speaker 3: be treacherous. So I mean, I'm not like saying USC

2413
01:57:55,920 --> 01:57:58,200
Speaker 3: is going to be bad, but it's gonna be a

2414
01:57:59,040 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 3: If he comes out of this year and they somehow

2415
01:58:00,960 --> 01:58:02,960
Speaker 3: are really good, then you're gonna be able to say

2416
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:04,960
Speaker 3: a lot of really positive stuff about Lake and Raleigh

2417
01:58:04,960 --> 01:58:06,880
Speaker 3: because they're going to have earned it if they do this.

2418
01:58:07,560 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah. A couple other notes from the top first, top

2419
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:13,680
Speaker 2: twenty five, We've hit on most of them. I think

2420
01:58:13,720 --> 01:58:16,640
Speaker 2: A and M at number twenty is interesting. First year

2421
01:58:16,640 --> 01:58:20,520
Speaker 2: AAD coach, Mike Elko. They open with Notre Dame. You know,

2422
01:58:20,680 --> 01:58:23,000
Speaker 2: Miami is interesting at nineteen for this reason, Jason, you

2423
01:58:23,280 --> 01:58:27,440
Speaker 2: mentioned Utah a minute ago. Remember, top four teams, top

2424
01:58:27,480 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 2: four conference champions, excuse me, get an automatic buy. So

2425
01:58:31,400 --> 01:58:34,160
Speaker 2: this isn't you know, Georgia finishes one, they beat Bama,

2426
01:58:34,200 --> 01:58:36,880
Speaker 2: Bama finishes three, doesn't matter. Those top four teams get

2427
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,800
Speaker 2: to buy. Miami is I think a lot of people

2428
01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 2: think might be the most talented team in that league.

2429
01:58:41,760 --> 01:58:45,360
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens with Mario Christobal and that team,

2430
01:58:45,440 --> 01:58:49,360
Speaker 2: by the way, Clemson also along with Miami. Both teams

2431
01:58:49,400 --> 01:58:52,080
Speaker 2: play big Week one games. Florida State plays Week zero,

2432
01:58:53,040 --> 01:58:58,480
Speaker 2: Miami plays Week one at Florida, Clemson against Georgia. Really quickly,

2433
01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 2: because we're about to get out of here, jmr. Any

2434
01:59:00,320 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 2: last last last thoughts. Remember we have one weekend left,

2435
01:59:04,400 --> 01:59:07,440
Speaker 2: no real college football except for week that one big game.

2436
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:11,760
Speaker 2: We'll reveal our preseason Top twelve college football playoff teams

2437
01:59:11,800 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 2: next week, Jam Martin.

2438
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:13,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I think one thing we can do next

2439
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:15,640
Speaker 3: week is talk about some coaches we think are on

2440
01:59:15,680 --> 01:59:19,080
Speaker 3: the hot seat. I mentioned Franklin earlier, and that's certainly

2441
01:59:19,160 --> 01:59:22,200
Speaker 3: still true. But you know, there's some guys that really

2442
01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,280
Speaker 3: need to get some things done this year. And then

2443
01:59:24,320 --> 01:59:26,560
Speaker 3: you have the opportunity for something like Elco to go

2444
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:29,120
Speaker 3: in and really make Jimbo Fisher look not very good.

2445
01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:31,800
Speaker 2: And I think it's very possible because they're another one.

2446
01:59:31,840 --> 01:59:33,360
Speaker 2: You look at their schedule, by the way, and and

2447
01:59:33,520 --> 01:59:35,440
Speaker 2: m one of the only two teams in the SEC

2448
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:39,400
Speaker 2: no Georgia, no Bama on the schedule this year, also

2449
01:59:39,520 --> 01:59:41,840
Speaker 2: no Oklahoma, and they get a couple of their big

2450
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:43,880
Speaker 2: games at home, but I'll tell you what. As I said,

2451
01:59:44,440 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 2: we will reveal our twelve team playoffs. Next week we'll

2452
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 2: talk hot seat because college football is here. But for tonight,
