Speaker 1: over the Bears win this past weekend.

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 3: Well, I mean not really.

14
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: When I didn't hear from you, I thought you were dead.

15
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: I said, okay, this bear, the Bears game killed him. Well,

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 1: it's been a cardiac kind of season. I'm gonna time

17
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: after time. I'm gonna have to fly to Boise and

18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: get Ellie off to college and take your body back.

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: And body, what's that. It's a great thing. You have

20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 3: nine lives, that's it. I think I'm up to number seven.

21
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: I thought, okay, he I mean that he has this

22
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: game killed him. I can't say that. Probably this game

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 3: killed him. I gotta say, you know, as the clock

24
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:18,040
Speaker 3: struck zero and the ball falls harmlessly and complete, I

25
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 3: did one of the ray Leota Goodfellas things. Yeah, not

26
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: banging on the hood of the car. I like, yeah,

27
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 3: I probably just hit something wrong on this rental and

28
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna cost me thousands of dollars, but I don't care.

29
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: Blank the packers.

30
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's that's the thing, right, Blank the packers.

31
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: Blank the packers. Who knew Ben Johnson was this uh,

32
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: this chesty all the time?

33
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: Well, I mean you gotta be uh to call games

34
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: like he does.

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: That is true. That is true.

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 3: Also, I mean there's still the underlying issue that needs

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 3: to be addressed. Is it a chess match you're playing

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 3: when you can't really get anything going in the first half.

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 3: Are you playing a rope of dope kind of.

40
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: Growing darts and hoping to warm up at some point?

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: That's what it is.

42
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 3: I can't die there, it is. I'm warmed up now.

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: How thought you just come out and play tembo like

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: it's the final two minutes right off the jump?

45
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: Who's stopping pooka. Here's what we're doing. We are going

46
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: to uh hypnotize the Bears into thinking that every minute

47
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 1: of this game is the final two minutes of the

48
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,080
Speaker 1: four I.

49
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 3: Think that's the only way to operate. Just like life.

50
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: Man, guys, you're.

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: Always in a two minute jriill lived in the fullest

52
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: be Bears are up sixty seven and nothing. I can't

53
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: believe they're They're playing every minute like it's the Latin Ah.

54
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 1: Now, I see, now I want to know today. Baby,

55
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,919

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: the uh Sunday Friday night game. Man, everybody is leading.

57
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: That's the the point spread or the weather. It's actually

58
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 1: the temperature of the sausages.

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 3: This sausage, you know, the Wieners circle offering hot dogs

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: for life if the Bears win the Super Bowl.

61
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a that's a that's a bit of a

62
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: risk right now, this number number two in the AFC. Man,

63
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: you're you're one night, cold weather game away from the

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: NFC Championship game. I mean that's where you are. And

65
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: you play Sam Donald.

66
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, take down the Rams. Then you go get Sam

67
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: Donald and you're the most opportunistic defense in the game.

68
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: Doors open, man, Doors open for the Bears. I mean really,

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: doors open for the Bears. This may be their tough

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: We will.

71
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 3: Have by Al Franken remote helmet on right with my

72
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: satellite dish, reporting live from the mead streets of San

73
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: Francisco during Super Bowl week when that happens.

74
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: I heard this may be, this may be their toughest game.

75
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: We get past the Rams, We're going to the super Bowl.

76
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: Just think about that. How fantastic is this? Now I'm

77
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 1: living in the high life while that's happening, I know,

78
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: by the way, congratulations. Steve Winwood was trending earlier today

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 1: on social media speaking of being back in the high life.

80
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: Give us some eleven uh.

81
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: The Steelers now looking for a new head coach after

82
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin resigned earlier today. Last hour, we talk about

83
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: the Steelers' aspect of it, what's next for Tomlin, Why

84
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: it's good news for Pittsburgh that they can now get

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: a head coach who is much more modern and can

86
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: is okay with opening things up offensively, understanding you to

87
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: push the ball down the field. You can't just run

88
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: an offense like it was nineteen eighty seven, which has

89
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 1: been the big year for the show. Tonight, whenever we

90
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 1: play La Guns on the show, it's nineteen eighty seven,

91
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: so the guy to go after, right, and I know

92
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 1: that this is It's weird because I can kind of

93
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: see tomorrow playing out like the end of Iron Man,

94
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 1: when Tony Stark's gonna go out that has to explain

95
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: what happened and who the flying thing was and what

96
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: that flying being was, and they all tell him, hey,

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: don't say anything. You know it was it was you know,

98
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: one of your one of your jets that was out

99
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: there and it was an exercise. Just don't say anything.

100
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: Don't blow the lid off this.

101
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,119
Speaker 3: Okay.

102
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 1: He's got that big prepared statement. He walks after the

103
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: press conference. Everything's we're gonna get some sort of cover up,

104
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 1: and he goes, I am Ironman, So okay. I kind

105
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: of feel like we could be on the cusp of

106
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 1: that tomorrow because Marcus Freeman set to have a press

107
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: conference where he is going to announce he's staying as

108
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: head coach with Notre Dame. He had the legal issues

109
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: over the course of the past few days at his

110
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: son's wrestling event, and Notre Dame put out video that

111
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: they say exonerates him. It shows him and his son

112
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: leaving the event just been a really ridiculous headline, and

113
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,559
Speaker 1: I know that the overtures for the NFL not quite there.

114
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Would I leave Notre Dame for the Falcons, probably not.

115
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 1: Would I eave Notre Dame for any other job that's open,

116
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: probably not. Would I leave for the Giants, but they

117
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: seem to be down the road with John Harbaugh. The

118
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: Steelers is a job where you say, hey, sorry, Notre Dame,

119
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: I have to go to the Steelers because what the

120
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: Steelers offer you more than any other job in the

121
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: entire National Football League is you know I'm gonna get

122
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: years to get it right. I'm not leaving Notre Dame

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 1: for a job where I'm going to get fired after

124
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: two years. Where if by Falter they stick with guys

125
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: right now, they've had success, and you wonder are things

126
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: gonna change if if suddenly they start out three and fourteen,

127
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: four and thirteen. But you know this is a team

128
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: that went Chuck Noll, Bill Kawer, Mike Tomlin, like, you know,

129
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 1: they don't have a lot of guys right this is

130
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 1: their entire runs NFL at coach. That's the one job

131
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: you leave anywhere for because you know you're getting a

132
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: chance to succeed. They do it differently, which is good

133
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 1: for the head coaches. And Freeman is young, energetic, he

134
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: relates to the players. Now. Now he's a defensive head coach,

135
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: which doesn't lay in with the vision that the Steelers

136
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: need an offensive mind. But the Steelers have shown what

137
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: we want to do over the course of the last

138
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: sixty years of our playing is that we want to

139
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: hire a young head coach that is well versed everywhere

140
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and the team is going to grow

141
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: with him, and we're going to be able to win

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,479
Speaker 1: because of it. And we get the right guy. And

143
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 1: they're more concerned with getting the right guy. Bill Cower

144
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: was the right guy. Mike Tomlin was the right guy.

145
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,799
Speaker 1: Marcus Freeman checks all the boxes at being that next

146
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: young head coach that his team believes in. He's achieved

147
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: great everything you want in the resume so far, being

148
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: able to get to the National Championship Game in the

149
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: NIL era. Yes, would he be smart enough to bring

150
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: an offense corner to sa Hey, we got to throw

151
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: the football up and down the field. You know. CJ.

152
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: Carr is gonna be a Heisman Trophy finalist next year.

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: Just so you know, the odds came out for the

154
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy this year. He's number two. So Notre Dame

155
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have a problem being dynamic offensively.

156
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 3: Right.

157
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: It's not just hey, we're gonna run Jeremiah Love because

158
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: he's great. We know we gotta throw the football. So

159
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 1: it's not that he's got to come in with some

160
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: crazy offensive system that works. Doesn't have to be Mike

161
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: March showing up with the greatest show on turf, but

162
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: he needs to be open to we're gonna bring into

163
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 1: the modern NFL. We're gonna run a great offense. We're

164
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna be able to spray the ball all across the

165
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: field because this is what wins. I know. Marcus free Hey,

166
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: I'm stam staying, but this is a job where I

167
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: think both sides say, let's make one more run before

168
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: we go. And there had been internal talk with the

169
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: Steelers about Freeman before when Tomlin was still the if

170
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: he ever leaves, who would our next guy be? And

171
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: so knowing that, knowing that for Freeman, yeah, I think

172
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: it's worth one more phone call, one more situation. Hey,

173
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 1: at a really dicey situation at Notre Dame. Here, Yes,

174
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: it looks like he's getting past that the wrestling the

175
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 1: wrestling thing, and everything looks great for him going forward.

176
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: But man, I think you need that phone call because

177
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: this is the job you leave anywhere for.

178
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, the wrestling thing is more kind of a what

179
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: happened here and the Superti film comes out and whatever,

180
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 3: and they were quick to jump on that. The larger

181
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,800
Speaker 3: issue is there are very few times that we see

182
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 3: the outlier team pop into the cycle. Right, you'll have

183
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 3: a coach step down, Right, that's been theorized in the

184
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 3: next year or two. That might happen with Andy Reid

185
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 3: with the Chiefs. But all the other times that we

186
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: get into the coaching cycle, what are we looking at

187
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: eighty ninety percent of those teams. Do you're going there

188
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: because it's one of thirty two or because you have

189
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 3: the hubris and the idea that I can figure this out. Right,

190
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: it's like picking that quarterback off the scrap heap. Say

191
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 3: he was wounded mortally by the Jets as in his

192
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: first couple of years, and that after a couple of

193
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,320
Speaker 3: rehab assignments, you can turn them into a pro bowler. Right,

194
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 3: you could do that, But for the most part, we're

195
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 3: cycling these same damn jobs every year, Like all right, hey,

196
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 3: Cleveland's available, Okay, cool, Yeah, that makes sense. And there's

197
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 3: the Raiders. They're always out there for you. Your guy

198
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 3: staved off his short term execution there with the Jets,

199
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 3: so they'll get a second bite at the apple. But

200
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,359
Speaker 3: all of that to say, it's usually the same squads

201
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 3: that we're talking about in this coach at Karasel. All

202
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 3: of a sudden, Pittsburgh becomes open. Wait a minute, hold on,

203
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 3: hold on to your point. Yeah, you're gonna get a

204
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 3: chance to build essentially the college program. You're also going

205
00:09:57,400 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 3: to a division so as long as they are abolished

206
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,719
Speaker 3: the divisional systems, you're going into a place where you

207
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 3: can go and continue this run and win. Right, two

208
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: of your competitors have announced that they're getting rid of

209
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: the coaches.

210
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 1: Now.

211
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore has the luxuries and they do have a quarterback.

212
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 3: Cincinnati doesn't have anybody on defense, although maybe Stewart actually

213
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 3: plays well as second year remains to be seen. Hendrickson'll

214
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 3: be gone and Joe Burrow still could put a flare

215
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: up in the sky saying I want out. But and

216
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 3: then Cleveland can't get out of its own way, good defense,

217
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 3: but still myriad questions on what they do offensively and

218
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: their next coaching higher. So all of a sudden, you

219
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 3: look at Pittsburgh. It's a model of stability because they're

220
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 3: going to give you everything you can to win for Tomlin. Again,

221
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 3: all those years we watched it with Roethlisberger, and I

222
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 3: would have loved to be a fly on the wall

223
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 3: when they were discussing what they were doing with the

224
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 3: quarterback position the next year. So if your Marcus Freeman like,

225
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: that's what I get to help pick that part of

226
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 3: the set, right, omar Con, that's not just you. We

227
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 3: have to be an agreement that we're pushing this thing

228
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 3: ahead because you do have some components yet, right, there's

229
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:09,199
Speaker 3: a lot.

230
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,880
Speaker 1: Obviously they're okay with that because Tomlin wanted this kind

231
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: of offense and this is the offense omark on game. Okay, great,

232
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: you want Russell Wilson, justin fields and Aaron Rodgers. Okay,

233
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 1: all right, great, go run it. I mean, I can't

234
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: believe that's the preferred way they wanted to do things,

235
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: but this is what Tomlin wants. Tomlin's been pretty successful. Okay,

236
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,559
Speaker 1: we give him what he wants. Now it's completely outdated.

237
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 1: And you know why they haven't won a playoff game

238
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: in ten years because they stuck with Roethlisberger too long

239
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: when he couldn't throw the football anymore, went to other

240
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that couldn't throw the football, tried to get by

241
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: with guys that weren't any good. So, yeah, you need

242
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: a change, You need a change for that to happen.

243
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 3: No, but that again, that goes to the difficult part

244
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 3: of trying to put yourself in that Pittsburgh bubble against

245
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 3: the rest of the NFL because all of us, all

246
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 3: of you listening across wherever you are across the globe

247
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 3: on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you're listening to the show,

248
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 3: like you're looking at your fan the man, I'd kill

249
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 3: for that stability. I'd kill for the idea that I'm between.

250
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 3: You know, eight and a half and eleven wins every

251
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 3: year as opposed to, Wow, we really suck again. Yeah,

252
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 3: and then you get one year of kind of a

253
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 3: hope of Hey, on paper, this line's up. Think about

254
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: how many times we talked about Baltimore even this year. Right, Hey,

255
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 3: this roster looks like it's assembled to be a world beating. No,

256
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 3: they couldn't even get away started at all. He gets

257
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 3: traded the Chargers, he finishes with what nine sacks total

258
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,840
Speaker 3: when you add the playoff run, like like what happened.

259
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 3: But in Pittsburgh it's been status quo and you've been

260
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 3: just good enough to stay above that line and stay

261
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 3: competitive and play meaningful football in December. So that's the standard, right,

262
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 3: that is the baseline that Marcus Freeman or whoever ends

263
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: up in the job. Some of the guys that are

264
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 3: in the heads of some of the betting odds, I

265
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 3: just scratched my head, going, really this these are these

266
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 3: are the guys that rise up. But Marcus Freeman with

267
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 3: a press scheduled, I mean, does he go Leo DiCaprio

268
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 3: and just I'm not bleeping leaving or is it something

269
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 3: far more?

270
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Uh? Other bigger on the line here, Other jobs I get.

271
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 1: But the steel because you want it, boy, The Steelers

272
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: give you what every coach wants. I want years and

273
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: years and years to succeed. I know, I don't know.

274
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 1: I gotta prove, I gotta build, but I want years

275
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,199
Speaker 1: and years. The Steelers is the only program that gives

276
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: that to you, right, I mean the Cowboys do a

277
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: little bit because Jerry Jones, when he hires somebody doesn't

278
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: want to hit a mistake, so I'll stick with a

279
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 1: guy longer than I have to. So there is that,

280
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,720
Speaker 1: but that comes with its own set of problems. The

281
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: Steelers like, yeah, come stay, you win, We'll give you time.

282
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: We like being relevant, we like winning games. I mean,

283
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: it's it's it's absolute paradise for an NFL coach. I

284
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: gotta go there and be there for eighteen years. Not

285
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: that you can't go other places and be there a

286
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: long time with John Harball's with the Ravens that long.

287
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,600
Speaker 1: But but it's only because hey, I've been able to succeed.

288
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: We want a super Bowl. But you know, going in

289
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 1: if my first couple of years a bed, they're gonna say, no, sweat,

290
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: keep building. Okay, great, that's what I want. I mean,

291
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: that's that's what anybody wants. That's like, that's the job

292
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: you leave Notre Dame for, that's the gig. Can't wait

293
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: for that attention to viewing. Maybe you'll call out his

Speaker 1: ad and everybody on the way out.

295
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,679

Speaker 1: six years ago today, we got this from mc Hammer.

316
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: You still have the pants I do?

317
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: I said Hammer pants were great, and they were so comfortable.

318
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: I felt like a sultan walking around, like, ah, yeah,

319
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: how many pockets? I used to, Oh, dude, the pockets

320
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: they go all the way down to your ankles. You

321
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: just put like I put a pair of keys instead

322
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: of keys. It's like I gotta go all the way

323
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: down here. And how many sandwiches did you stuff in them?

324
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Oh dude, you could put like one hundred in there.

325
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 1: When he used to go to the dining hall, fit.

326
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: Uh.

327
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: I used to be able to do the the MC

328
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: when he would put his hands on his hips and

329
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 1: would just do the side to side. I used to

330
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: be able to do that. Swear to God, I used

331
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 1: to be able to do that. I can't do it anymore,

332
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: but I used to be able to do that.

333
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 3: You peeked to Sager's interests. Oh yeah, his head popped

334
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 3: up like he was a mirror cat.

335
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: I used to when he doesn't when he goes when

336
00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 1: he goes side to side, I used to. I can't anymore,

337
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,160
Speaker 1: but I could do that up until probably it was

338
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,920
Speaker 1: about forty I could do that. People were people They're like,

339
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: I can't believe you could do I'm like, oh yeah,

340
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 1: I could do that now, not anymore. I used to

341
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:26,960
Speaker 1: be able to show you side quick feet. I can't

342
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: do it.

343
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 3: You're going side to side like you run around base

344
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 3: paths like Babe Ruth in those.

345
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 1: Who maybe a few years ago I could have showed

346
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: you something, but uh, you know, not anymore. And you

347
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: get a hat and you get at.

348
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 3: The whole sleeve of hats down me.

349
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 1: I'd go all the way to one side the start

350
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: and the clap, and then go all the way to

351
00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: the other side of you like your leg was broken. Yeah. No,

352
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: it's just you have your feet wide and you kind

353
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 1: of tap and move, and I just could always burgers

354
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 1: on each side. Suddenly I'm wimpy walking around in a

355
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: pop Eye car too, so like it's the wrong thing

356
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 1: I do that. I could do that, and I could

357
00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: do the David Lee Wroth from the Jump video when

358
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 1: he jumped off the stage and he touched his hands

359
00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: to his to his feet. I used to be able

360
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,959
Speaker 1: to I don't believe. I'll get my wife to call

361
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,439
Speaker 1: and she goes, yeah, no, I could do that. I

362
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 1: used to be able to do that.

363
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but that just means she'd be a liar on that.

364
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: Many people knew I could do that. I could do both.

365
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: People my friends would say, no, I've did that for years.

366
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: Bow up dolls, don't care. It's a big party trick. Hey,

367
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: do the do the jump. Okay, I'll do the jump.

368
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: And I could do the jump and do the David

369
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: ly Roth touch my hand to my feet. It was great.

370
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 1: And then the hammer dance?

371
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,680
Speaker 3: Who carries in tune better these days?

372
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: You were David?

373
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 5: Oh, well, okay, well that's that's a little that's a

374
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 5: little different. But God never no. But if I could

375
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: do it again, I would.

376
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: I'd give anything.

377
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: I would. I he at this point my life am

378
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a fall risk. He I don't know that I could

379
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,399
Speaker 1: still do it and still be healthy at the end.

380
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: Now that the mc hammer thing, I could try to

381
00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: do it, and that's not gonna hurt. The davidly Roth thing,

382
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 1: I could hurt myself, like if I don't land right

383
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,320
Speaker 1: like that, that could that could go really bad.

384
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: Well, the penguin walk, you can do it, you go bad.

385
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: But I could the mc hammer thing. I used to

386
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,439
Speaker 1: be able to do it, but now but now I

387
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: can't anymore. I don't know that he could do it anymore.

388
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 1: He's older than I am no.

389
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:23,959
Speaker 3: I get after it.

390
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: Of course he can do it, you can.

391
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 3: Still do it. I don't know. He's still on tour

392
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 3: at least a few dates. He can't do that movie.

393
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 3: He ain't getting out of stage. I just I guess.

394
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 1: I just judge when I go, because every time he

395
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,960
Speaker 1: comes into town, I go see Morris Day, and I'm like, boy,

396
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:41,520
Speaker 1: and Morris Day is getting old, like you know, he

397
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: doesn't quite do the whole moves and Jerome with the

398
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: mirror doesn't come out like it mirror out there. Yeah,

399
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:49,200
Speaker 1: there was one point when I went to see Morris

400
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: Day the last time, which is I think was a

401
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: year ago, and uh, like he were doing a song

402
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: and then they got to point where there was like

403
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: guitar solo and stuff, and like our seats were so

404
00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: much that I could see him walk off stage and

405
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: like he just walks off stage, just stands there and

406
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:08,159
Speaker 1: it's just like exhausted drinking water. I going, that's not

407
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: even you know, it's not even close to what he

408
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,920
Speaker 1: used to be able to do. So I could see

409
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: he look rock and roll would slow down earlier. There's

410
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: an extension of never meet your heroes.

411
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, make sure your vantage point is that you can't

412
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 3: see the side of the stage. You don't want to

413
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 3: see him. The magic is done under the stage.

414
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: Like I remember going to see him, going to see

415
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:28,760
Speaker 1: like like twenty twenty five years ago, and.

416
00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 3: Jerome would come out. He would be he would walk

417
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 3: with that mirror and he would just side to side.

418
00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:35,239
Speaker 3: He would pound it down and dance while And now

419
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 3: Jerome kind of holds the mirror and brings it out

420
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 3: and kind of just kind of just lays it on

421
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 3: the growd, holds it up for.

422
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: Morris to look into. And Morris used to do the

423
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: dance and his hair. Now he just looks into the

424
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: mirror and does his hair. So it's a little bit different.

425
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 3: Now, that's pretty good to have that kind of job

426
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 3: long Jevity. It's kind of like being a coach in

427
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 3: Baltimore Pittsburgh.

428
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: Well, I mean, nobody else can, but Jerome can bring

429
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: out the mirror. I mean there's nobody that's not like

430
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: you could say, hey, Paul Atte, bring out my mirror.

431
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't wan, But.

432
00:20:00,760 --> 00:20:04,280
Speaker 3: That's job security. Man. You are the mirror guy.

433
00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: Hey Jerry, bring out my mirror. No, it's Jerome. Where's

434
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: my mirror? That's really you have that, you have that

435
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:22,080
Speaker 1: whole thing. It's Jerome got a job. I think he does. Okay,

436
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,280
Speaker 1: he doesn't. I went to what was it six months

437
00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: ago for my wife's birthday. I took her. They had

438
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: a screening for Purple Rain and and Jerome was the moderator.

439
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: Like they had this whole big panel there that people

440
00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 1: for actors from the movie, you know, and uh no, no, no, dude,

441
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: it was you kidding. It was packed the prince gear

442
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: that people were wearing. I was like, I want all

443
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: of it, like T shirts that went to the floor

444
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: that had rhinestones on them, and and it was they

445
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 1: they showed Purple Rain, and they had like a like

446
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: a moderator like a stage, and Jerome was the moderator

447
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,439
Speaker 1: and and he's so he's coming out to the to

448
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 1: the to the crowd and he's asking people questions and everything,

449
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: and it was really good. And I'm like, I should

450
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,560
Speaker 1: say something, Fish, don't you say a word. Don't like

451
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: she thought I'm an embarrasser, or say something like, hey, Jerome,

452
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: come on, Like I just I should say something. It'll

453
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: be fun. She just don't say you speak enough on

454
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: the radio. Don't say it. I was like, okay, I

455
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 1: don't say anything. I won't say anything. It's fine. That's terrible. Yeah,

456
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 1: that was that was your chance. She was where, that

457
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:19,760
Speaker 1: was your opportunity. We go, we go see Morris and

458
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Jerome every time. I'm gonna have other opportunities. No, no,

459
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: I'll have other opportunities. But at some point they might

460
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: say I got enough. Adjason spits money, I don't need

461
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 1: to be back out there. By the way, did Nick

00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: Cage show up? No? Nick kg should not show up. No,

463
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,200
Speaker 1: but frostburg my face. Actually, my my favorite line from

464
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 1: uh uh from Morris day concert was I think it

465
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: was two years ago when we went Yeah when when? When? Uh?

466
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 1: It was the same night the Lakers eliminated the Warriors

467
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 1: from the playoffs, and his concert was right across the

468
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: street from when it was Staples Center. So we go in,

469
00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: we're in the con the concert's big, everybody's happy. Look

470
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 1: of course, it's a big scene outside with everybody running around,

471
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: and he comes out and he goes everybody, be honest

472
00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: with me, how many all of here? Because we couldn't

473
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 1: get tickets to the Lakers. Every hand went in.

474
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 3: Did he start the show late?

475
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: Because the Lakers. He said, Hey, if you guys want

476
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: to watch the end of the game, we'll wait another

477
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 1: ten minutes for the game to end and then we'll start.

478
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 3: We saw that the other day. Bill Murray's out on tour.

479
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: He sings and he's got a backing band.

480
00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:19,360
Speaker 6: Uh.

481
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 3: They were playing a show and behind them they were

482
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 3: playing the Bears game, and when he got into the

483
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 3: final two minutes, they just stopped playing and got out

484
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: of the way and.

485
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: Just walk vacation. We have to watch the end of this.

486
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 1: We have to.

487
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna watch the other of the game. Game

488
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 3: goes final and the guy immediately back out of the art. Alright,

489
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 3: let's go.

490
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,200
Speaker 1: So today we had a couple of teams make big

491
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: decisions that had really bad weekends. Right, let's deal with

492
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: the Eagles first. Nobody surprised that offensive corner Kevin Patulo

493
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: has been reassigned within the organization. Head coach Nick Sirianni

494
00:22:55,320 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: making that announcement today today after after big conversations with

495
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: Kevin Pittullo replacing him as offensive coordinator. We've aarre from

496
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: position to stay with the team. Maybe could be Big

497
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 1: Dom's assistant, you know, maybe that's what you're gonna help

498
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: Big Dom out of it. Now. He needs some help, right,

499
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 1: we need Big Dom to get some help. You're the

500
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: assistant to the traveling security assistant to the traveling security guy.

501
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: So obviously they needed a move. But the thing about

502
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: the Eagles right now, I'm gonna give you a hot

503
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,880
Speaker 1: take about the Eagles now, them getting knocked out this weekend.

504
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 1: So now they've had a run in the Nick Sirianni

505
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts era that has seen them win a Super Bowl.

506
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: I'm saying this in the era that they have won

507
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: a super Bowl. But when we look back at this

508
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: when it's all said and done in a couple of years,

509
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,199
Speaker 1: when Syrianni's gone or Jalen Hurts is gone he's on

510
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 1: another team. When in three weeks, when aj Brown is gone,

511
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 1: when this era of the Eagles is done, right when

512
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 1: it hurts and Barkley is finished playing because he's too old,

513
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna look back and say that era was a failure,

514
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: even though they won a super Bowl. Right now, honestly,

515
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:09,639
Speaker 1: they should have two super Bowls and be steaming towards

516
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 1: a third. But they can't get out of their own way,

517
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,320
Speaker 1: whether it's the quarterback and the head coach can't get

518
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 1: on the same page. The players don't like the quarterback.

519
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: The quarterback then the main receiver don't get along. Nobody

520
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,879
Speaker 1: likes the receiver. They bathe in controversy, and they were

521
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: able to succeed at and it was awesome to watch, right,

522
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 1: it was really impressive. But now what happened at the

523
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: end of this year. They fell apart, just like they

524
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,280
Speaker 1: did two years ago at the end where it was

525
00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: we really can't wait for the season to end. They

526
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 1: have so much talent on this team. This is the

527
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: most talented roster in the NFL, top to bottom, and

528
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out to this and say, well, they

529
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,439
Speaker 1: won a Super Bowl, but overall the era is going

530
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: to be a failure because what they should have been

531
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:48,639
Speaker 1: able to accomplish while this is look at some of

532
00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: these teams that are left. Man, the Seahawks aren't great,

533
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers are pretenders. The Bills aren't great, right,

534
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos aren't great. The Patriots are pretenders. But

535
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: one of these teams is gonna win the Super Bowl,

536
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,080
Speaker 1: and it should be the Eagles. It should be the Eagles.

537
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: Like that, you win the suit. It's hard to say that.

538
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: It sounds I sound insane when I say that. But

539
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: when you look back at this era, this six seven, eight, whatever,

540
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,919
Speaker 1: it's gonna wide it beating, it's how do we not

541
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: win more? What a failure that was? Red Like you,

542
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: like you look back at the Seahawks era when uh

543
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 1: with Pete Carroll, and you're gonna say, boy, they won

544
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but that was kind of a failure

545
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: because they should have had two maybe three. But Pete

546
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 1: Carroll throws his way into losing a Super Bowl there.

547
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:32,200
Speaker 1: It should have been different, it should have been better.

548
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: Seattle should have won more and they didn't. And and

549
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 1: as much as you're a Seahawks fan, you would have

550
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 1: been wake up every morning and you think, boy, is

551
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold gonna suck? You think, okay, uh, we got

552
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: the game coming up. But man, if we had just

553
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: given the ball to Marshall Lintz would have won the Super Bowl,

554
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 1: right Like that's every Seal. You think that every single day.

555
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 1: If you're a Seahawks when you think about the Seahawks,

556
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: that thought gets into your head every day. So when

557
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,159
Speaker 1: you look at what the what it's gonna be for

558
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,560
Speaker 1: the Eagles where it's gonna they're gonna say, how could

559
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: we knock it out of our own way? How can

560
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: we have so many problems with our quarterback, head, coach,

561
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 1: wide receiver. How can we have this happen? How do

562
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,359
Speaker 1: we have this go on? How do we not able

563
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,320
Speaker 1: to figure things out better going forward? Other teams not

564
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: everybody gets along. They figure out a way to get

565
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:16,600
Speaker 1: it happened, right. No, No, not everybody's going to the

566
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: going to the movies together or going out to the

567
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: bar together at the end. But they still find a

568
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 1: way to get it done and win football games. But

569
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: the Eagles simply find a way to be their own

570
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: worst enemy. And this is yet another situation. Is replacing

571
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:30,760
Speaker 1: Patulo going to be the right call? Yeah, you have

572
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:32,879
Speaker 1: to do something on offense and you're not saying about it.

573
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: Jalen hurts this year. You're probably moving on from aj

574
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: Brown and you're not moving on from Nick Sirianni yet.

575
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 1: But you know there's all kinds of tension. Something has

576
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: to happen there. So will that help? Yeah? But is

577
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 1: it gonna be enough? This is a lost year this year,

578
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 1: or the Eagle should have been the overwhelming favorite when

579
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: you see who's left in the play A Super Bowl

580
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: playoffs and say, well, I'm not gonna bet against the

581
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,119
Speaker 1: champs until they lose because they still have the best team.

582
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: And yet you're gonna look back at the end of

583
00:26:57,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: this and say, man, that was an underachieving for the Eagles.

584
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: I certainly have some questions. You can go into the

585
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 3: final possession in the twenty three to nineteen loss to

586
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,880
Speaker 3: San Francisco this week, you are first and ten from

587
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 3: the San Francisco twenty with a minute twenty eight remaining.

588
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,560
Speaker 3: You have all of your timeouts. Guess who's been running well,

589
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: Sakuon Barkley. Guess who doesn't see the ball? A lah

590
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: shades of Derrick Henry out there in Baltimore. Yes, Saquon

591
00:27:24,520 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: Barkley doesn't see it again, despite starting to run for

592
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 3: chunk yardage and getting a lean against the depleted, battered, bruised, outgunned,

593
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,199
Speaker 3: out manned, as our guy Kevin Burkhart said on the

594
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 3: Fox broadcast forty nine or defense. But yeah, you have

595
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl loss, you have a Super Bowl win

596
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: and a bunch of wild card exits along the way,

597
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,080
Speaker 3: and you look at his overall record for Sirianni. It's insane, right,

598
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 3: fifty nine and twenty six in his five years there,

599
00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 3: and yet this year was every week, what's going to

600
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,800
Speaker 3: be the thing to fell them? Right early on, you

601
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 3: couldn't get the run game started, and Barkley was a

602
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: full yard and a half or thereabouts lower than his

603
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: rushing average from a year ago. Okay, some injuries on

604
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 3: the offensive line, you overcome it. But even in this game,

605
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 3: AJ Brown, you just just highlight a couple of the

606
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 3: would be catches to what we're easy throws and Jalen

607
00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 3: Hurts takes a lot of incoming. But while on these guys'

608
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 3: hands repeatedly, Barkley had a big drop that would have

609
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 3: been a first down to extend a drive as well.

610
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 3: That overall, you know you're looking at down distance. You

611
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: gotta have a fall guy, and it's uneven and unfortunately

612
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: for Petullo. Also, you know you have the claims of well,

613
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 3: that's his friend. Guy's got a long career. I mean, yes,

614
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,640
Speaker 3: he wants coach with the Jets, but he's been around

615
00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 3: a while. This is not a fresh faced new guy

616
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 3: that it was his first bite at the apple of

617
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 3: really coaching on a grand scale he's been with the organization,

618
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: So now you go to that next phase and try

619
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 3: to figure out how you keep your offensive line healthy.

620
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 3: But for Nick Siriani, I mean, the sort of Damocles

621
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,040
Speaker 3: is certainly swinging right they we saw it a few

622
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,200
Speaker 3: years ago. Doug Peterson. It's like, how do they get

Speaker 3: coaches of the years get fired the next year? It's

625
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:22,120

696
00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 1: I know there are so many.

697
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,560

701
00:33:03,800 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 1: I think they're in India, right, I think, yes, it's long,

702
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 1: it's a long roadcheck of our roadtrick. No, I want

703
00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: to say, I think there's like sixty Sunni schools technically,

704
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,400
Speaker 1: because they just had a they did something in the

705
00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 1: last five years where a bunch of schools became Sunny Sea.

706
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 1: Isn't Syracuse one of them? Serious? No, Syracuse, unfortunately, is

707
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: private and it's a lot more money to go there

708
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: than go to Sunny schools. Like when I was going

709
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 1: to college applying there, like Sunny Binghamton was the big one.

710
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,480

711
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: There was about fifteen or sixteen. Now, I really I

712
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: think there's like sixty. I looked this up on the map.

713
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 6: Apparently it's roughly halfway between Syracuse and New York City.

714
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 6: But the Broncos of Sunny Delhi, Yeah, shot nineteen percent

715
00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 6: from the floor tonight.

716
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 1: Well, that's what happens when you leave sandwiches before the

717

751
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:28,200

752
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:31,880

754
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,240

755
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:43,520
Speaker 1: because they didn't win enough.

756
00:35:43,600 --> 00:35:46,719

Speaker 1: Man, Whenever Jason rule gets introduced here, it's Jason Derulo.

758
00:35:51,200 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: Like that's how they say it's Kevin Patula. I'm not

759
00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:57,279
Speaker 1: familiar with the man's process. Well, it's not like you got.

763
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 1: who's not getting introduced anymore. But today, also the Chargers

764
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 1: wave goodbye to their offensive coordinator Greg Roman. And there

765
00:36:11,160 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 1: is no team in the as bad as things. I'm

766
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 1: telling you, the Eagles won a Super Bowl in this era,

767
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:16,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna look back at it and say it was

768
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,920
Speaker 1: a failure because they should have won more than their

769
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: own worst enemy. No team had a worse weekend than

770
00:36:21,480 --> 00:36:25,239
Speaker 1: the Chargers, because what you saw was a team that

771
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 1: you thought was this close, one step away, and now

772
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,760
Speaker 1: they look like they're further away than when the season began.

773
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,280
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert spend most of the season running for his life.

774
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: You have to upgrade the offensive line. I get it right.

775
00:36:37,960 --> 00:36:39,920
Speaker 1: You lost Joe Walt, who probably is the MVP of

776
00:36:39,920 --> 00:36:45,160
Speaker 1: the league. But Justin Herbert had chances on Sunday. Yes,

777
00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:48,520
Speaker 1: he got sacked, but he missed some plays, he missed

778
00:36:48,560 --> 00:36:51,759
Speaker 1: some open receivers. This was not a big game from him.

779
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,319
Speaker 1: And now he still hasn't won a playoff game. And

780
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:56,240
Speaker 1: you have to come around to the fact that, Okay,

781
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 1: maybe this is Justin Herbert. He's a very good core

782
00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,440
Speaker 1: and this is just who he is. And that's the

783
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,080
Speaker 1: worst part for the Chargers because it tells you that

784
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 1: if this is who Justin Herbert is, it means he

785
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:11,560
Speaker 1: needs better weapons around him to succeed. Like most quarterbacks

786
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 1: that are really that that are good, they're better with

787
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: great weapons around them. We thought Herbert was someone who

788
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: raised the level around him, but look, Lad McConkie barely

789
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,759
Speaker 1: saw the football this year. He was upset at the

790
00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:22,439
Speaker 1: end of the game.

791
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, his postgame comments and exit comments were not. Yeah,

792
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 3: we're pretty damning of what was going on with a

793
00:37:29,120 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 3: lot of You might as well have just been pointing

794
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,959
Speaker 3: at Keenan Allen the entire time.

795
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:34,600
Speaker 1: I mean, really get it, because you know he and

796
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen are gonna run the same routes and catch

797
00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,680
Speaker 1: the same passes. Okay, that doesn't help your offense, right.

798
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,040
Speaker 1: And and McConkie as great a year he had last year,

799
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,359
Speaker 1: he's terrific. He was not a weapon at all. This year.

800
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 1: He'd have games with with two catches in it, which

801
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,319
Speaker 1: probably is why they fired Greg Roman, because dude, Lad

802
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: McConkie is fantastic man. He's like Wes Welker, get him

803
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 1: the bleep in football. But you saw, you saw the

804
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,399
Speaker 1: way they played against the Patriots, which was awful. Then

805
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 1: you heard the reports after some pay players said Chargers

806
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:03,279
Speaker 1: players talked him after the game and said, we had

807
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,080
Speaker 1: no idea what defense you guys were in all game.

808
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:06,760
Speaker 1: You guys did a great job. And it's like, whoa,

809
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 1: that's true, Like you had no idea what defense the

810
00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:11,760
Speaker 1: other team was in. Now that's a story the Patriots

811
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 1: are telling. But watching the Chargers play that game was

812
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 1: there for them, Like this wasn't a game where ah,

813
00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,800
Speaker 1: you know, things went it was. It was negative thirty

814
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: degrees and all their players were hurt, Like Herbert still

815
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: had a chance to make some plays. They still had

816
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 1: a chance to win. And what they had out there

817
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 1: was not nearly good enough. Man, you're not nearly good

818
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,919
Speaker 1: enough for your first playoff game. You're not as close

819
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,200
Speaker 1: as we thought. Nobody had a worse week in the

820
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,399
Speaker 1: Charge and getting a new OCN, Yeah that's gonna be great.

821
00:38:39,440 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, now I look back and go, man,

822
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,200
Speaker 1: are the weapons still really that good? Can you still

823
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:47,680
Speaker 1: get by with McConkey as your one Quinton Johnson Gasden,

824
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,360
Speaker 1: the running back situation you have, can you still get by?

825
00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,680
Speaker 1: Is that still good enough? Like nobody had a worse

826
00:38:52,719 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: weekend than the Chargers did.

827
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,240
Speaker 3: Oh, you come away from that game and it was gettable.

828
00:38:56,320 --> 00:39:00,560
Speaker 3: You know, we watched all three days of a playoff

829
00:39:00,560 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 3: football and even last night the Pittsburgh Houston game. Defense

830
00:39:04,600 --> 00:39:06,680
Speaker 3: was good enough to keep them in it until it

831
00:39:06,760 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 3: wasn't right. Fourteen points off of the Aaron Rodgers turnovers,

832
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 3: the fumble that shouldn't have ever been, and the pick

833
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 3: six to end it all. But you go back to

834
00:39:15,960 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 3: that Charger game, defense did great. They had a couple

835
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 3: of chunk plays. They're at the Stevenson catch and run

836
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:24,040
Speaker 3: from this shadow of their own end zone and all

837
00:39:24,080 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 3: of that stuff. But for the most part, they gave

838
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:30,960
Speaker 3: every chance to Herbritt and that offense to find some spark.

839
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:34,279
Speaker 3: Still curious as to what went down with Hampton, why

840
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 3: he was up and then wasn't available because they couldn't

841
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,520
Speaker 3: get anything going in the run game, so there's no

842
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 3: play action. Keenan Allen with a couple of drops and

843
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 3: some lackadaisical in and out off the sideline, not getting

844
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 3: McConkey involved. They were just a lot of questions for

845
00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:55,439
Speaker 3: an offense that they cobbled together. What was it twenty

846
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,799
Speaker 3: nine different line combinations. I think what Steve said, I mean,

847
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:02,280
Speaker 3: you got to that point, but in the biggest moment

848
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:07,000
Speaker 3: in a gattible game, you had nothing. And Herbert's gonna

849
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,600
Speaker 3: wear more of it because as more of the All

850
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,800
Speaker 3: twenty two comes out, you'll go back to the first

851
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:13,799
Speaker 3: half because he finished giving it, taken six sacks. Those

852
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,279
Speaker 3: weren't on the offensive line necessarily.

853
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: Nobody had a worse weekend of the Chargers. I mean

854
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,360
Speaker 1: that that they they went from hey, they're they're this

855
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: close to now maybe they've taken steps back.

856
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 3: I want to know how the line coach gets fired

857
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 3: that you get screwed
