Speaker 1: Hello, Welcome in Side Hour two, The Jason Smith Show

10
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,200
Speaker 1: with my base friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, every goal starts

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: with an assist on and off the field. That's why

12
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,159
Speaker 1: Haley On and US Soccer are launching for the Assist,

17
00:00:54,760 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: dot Com. Haley on Assist dot Com. So here we

18
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: are Monday night football. This dealers with the football and

19
00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: uh just about two twenty left to go. It's a

20
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:12,640
Speaker 1: twenty eight fifteen lead for Pittsburgh. The onside kick nearly

21
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: worked out for the Dolphins. Adam Thielen just bounced off him. However,

22
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: Heyward able to fall on top of it. So the

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: Steelers have the football. One first down is going to

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 1: end this, but we are gonna have the two minute

25
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: warning and the Dolphins still have a couple of timeouts left,

26
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: so still a little bit more execution for the Steelers

27
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: to win this game.

28
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,759
Speaker 3: That was one of my favorite on side kicks I've seen.

29
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: It's a good kick, all right, God spinning, whirling dervish,

30
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: Tasmanian devil like a fool the hell out of theeling

31
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 3: when you come in bad right underneath him, and he

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: had no idea how to judge it.

33
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: You know, the thing is is, there's the way you

34
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: see so many players with on sidekicks. Now, you see

35
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: the old way always would been, I'm gonna come down

36
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: kick the top of the ball, and you hope to

37
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: get a big bounce. Yeah right, you hope to get

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: a big bounce. That's kind of out because you know

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: players feeling that ball. It's a little bit easier. You

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: also have the forward momentum where even if the guy

41
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 1: doesn't catch it, it's gonna go out of bounds, So

42
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 1: it's a really difficult thing to try to just hey,

43
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: we're gonna get the hop or.

44
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 3: By time the hop comes down, it's gonna get blown up. Yeah,

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,080
Speaker 3: it could be like on both sides. It's it's a problem.

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. So the thing is to see on this is

47
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: that watching the kick when you can kick the kick

48
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: the ball and it's it's bouncing around on the side

49
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: and it's a bigger target. Like that was the whole thing.

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: This is a ball that that's that's side spinning. That

51
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: feeling doesn't get and so it just bounces away from

52
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: him like and it stays on the field because you're

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: kicking it that kind of way. Like I think that's

54
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 1: that's what you gotta see. That's like the way of oh, okay,

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: you can kick it like that, you can you get

56
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: much more fourth downs. But again I wonder what sometimes

57
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: when some kickers work on because not everybody can kick

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: it like that, and every single field goal kicker, every

59
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: single kicker, should be able to have an on side

60
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: kick down. Pat at this point, find some way this

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: is gonna give us the best chance recovering an on

62
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 1: side I don't know why.

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've always wondered because going to traveling training camps

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 3: like I used to do, guys are just kind of

65
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: sitting around most of the time. I remember Robbie Gold

66
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: used to just drive around the cart to deliver water, Like,

67
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 3: could you be working a little harder?

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Yeah on something, Thanks for the water, but like, how

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: about you work on y Like you're there for a

70
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: couple hours.

71
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,800
Speaker 3: I know you can't keep driving fifty yard field goals

72
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: for two hours. I get that, but now you're just

73
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:26,959
Speaker 3: driving a cart around. And he was great, one of

74
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 3: my favorites. And you know, I lamented his departure for

75
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: many years when he was kicking for the forty nine ers,

76
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: but it was just to kind of thing. If he

77
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 3: was emblematic of what kickers across the league were doing.

78
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 3: That's a lot of wasted time you get back to,

79
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: you know, operational efficiency as everybody starts thinking about their

80
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: own workplace practices.

81
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: On side kick, as we said, doesn't work out, but

82
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: it also doesn't work out for the Steelers. Aaron Rodgers

83
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: slides down rather than try to throw the football into

84
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: traffic and risk an incomplete pass, makes it fourth and thirteen.

85
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Dolphins use their final time out, so they have no

86
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: timeouts left, but Brandon Eckles is able to down the

87
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: subsequent punt at the three yard line of the Dolphins.

88
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: So To and.

89
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: Company have two to four to get the length of

90
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,360
Speaker 1: the field touchdown on sidekick length of the field touchdown,

91
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: and then hey, we got a game.

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 3: He's got a big arm. I mean it's.

93
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: So we'll keep you outdated here. Yeah, what you got,

94
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: frost ptop delaying your apology? Just get to it. I

95
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: got what you say to it. This is what's happening now.

96
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: Justin go back and watch video the Chargers beating the Chiefs.

97
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: Go ahead and do that, just really quick though.

98
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 3: The guy that like flipped the ball back former Northwestern

99
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 3: Wildcat bench Coronic.

100
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: Hey, he's had a nice long career in the NFL.

101
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: So again, two minute warning. Now that the Dolphins have

102
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: a rushing play for their first play, Okay, all right,

103
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: old strategy. Why not, Mike McDaniel, Now you're thinking, maybe, hey,

104
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe this is the one. Yeah, this one will get

105
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: him ninety seven yards and won't be expecting it. Oh no, no,

106
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: well they'll take us out of the two minute warning.

107
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 3: Okay, let's do it.

108
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: So Philip Rivers returned to the NFL a day ago. Now,

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 1: I want to be accurate. I want to be accurate

110
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 1: and I want to be correct, So just say so

111
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 1: as I said, stop I said last week, I said,

112
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: no one wants to be more wrong about Rivers coming

113
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,039
Speaker 1: back than me. This this comeback against the against the Seahawks,

114
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: not the week two. It's going to be awful. He's

115
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: forty four, he hasn't played. What are we really going

116
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: to get now? He finished the game, stayed up right,

117
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 1: He put him in the chance to win the game. Right,

118
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: You need a sixty fifty six yard field goal from

119
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,720
Speaker 1: Jason Myers. Your defense played out of their shoes offensively,

120
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: You got what you You got enough from the game,

121
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: but six field goals fifty six yard er a little

122
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: bit too much. Rivers, of course, had to juice the

123
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: ball down the field. The last pick I'm not going

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: to put on him. You got it. You only have

125
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: thirty seconds or twenty seconds to get down the field.

126
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 1: He needs something to get into field goal range, so

127
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: you have to kind of take a chance on that throw.

128
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: It was an overthrow. Okay, So I want to be

129
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: accurate about this. I was very happy to be sort

130
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: of wrong on Philip Rivers because how he looked. To

131
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 1: be honest about how Philip Rivers looked. He looked like

132
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 1: a quarterback that most teams have where the backup gets

133
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: no reps because the starter gets all of them, and

134
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: he is thrust into play at a moment's notice, and

135
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: you get as good a game as you could expect

136
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: from him in that situation. Meaning I don't expect him

137
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: to come in and throw four touchdowns, but hey, can

138
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: we get down the field enough. Can we be in

139
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 1: a position and maybe steal a game where offensive we

140
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: just don't look like we're absolutely bereft of everything. And

141
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: that's kind of how Philip Rivers played yesterday. He played

142
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: like a like when Lamar Jackson gets hurt and Snoopuntley

143
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: or someone else has to come in right when when

144
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: Torod Taylor gets hurting, Brady Cook has to play. Whatever

145
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: it is when a backup quarterback with no reps comes

146
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: in and is thrust in right away in a short

147
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: week preparing for a game, you would expect, Hey, what's

148
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 1: your realistic best case scenario? It was how Philip Rivers

149
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: looked on Sunday. We moved the ball, didn't look great,

150
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: not like Rivers went for three twenty and three touchdowns,

151
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,480
Speaker 1: like move the ball a little bit. Still was a

152
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 1: little slow in the pocket. You know, you could tell

153
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: his accuracy wasn't there the reason why he was retired.

154
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: But he looked better than expected, better than I thought

155
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: he was gonna be. But that's exactly what it was.

156
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: He looked like that kind of quarterback that well, if

157
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 1: you told the Colts you're gonna get this kind of

158
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 1: week where you're gonna score fifteen sixteen points and you're

159
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to win the game because your

160
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: defense is gonna play well, your office is gonna light

161
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: the world on fire. You know, he's not gonna be great,

162
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: but he's gonna be serviceable enough where you don't just

163
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: tank it and say, well good luck. Mil will try

164
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: to figure it out for next week. Maybe Riley Leonard

165
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: is back, maybe Anthony Richardson comes back, whatever it is.

166
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: But that's what you saw from Rivers was the best

167
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: case scenario you could see, like a backup that was

168
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,559
Speaker 1: thrust in. Hey, that's as good as we can expect

169
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: a guy to play.

170
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean Richardson now cleared to get back to work,

171
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: So that came out today. Leonard was off the injury report,

172
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 3: so in theory he should be good. But you look

173
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: at Rivers on the balance, was it overwhelming. No, you

174
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 3: didn't expect it to be. He finishes eighteen to twenty seven,

175
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: just one hundred and twenty yards, but made the plays

176
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 3: they needed and put him in position to win the game.

177
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: You get a big kickoff return, and nowadays, you know,

178
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 3: we extole the virtues of and lament the accuracy and

179
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: the aptitude of these kickers to be able to bomb

180
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 3: through stuff. In the mid fifties, once upon a time

181
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 3: you had like three guys in the game that could

182
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: do that right, You had Janakowski, Prader, and then you'd

183
00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 3: have a random guy that would come in right. And

184
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: over time, now it's become the norm that you could

185
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: at least tap into that with virtually every kicker. So

186
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 3: unfortunately you end up on the downside of it. But

187
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 3: when it's all said and done, I indict the effort

188
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,119
Speaker 3: of the Seattle Seahawks.

189
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed for them because that's all that's all the

190
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: excuse making. You know, started to drugs like, well, they're

191
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,199
Speaker 1: looking ahead the Thursday. It's like you still have to

192
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: win this damn game. So to suddenly say, well, we

193
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,119
Speaker 1: didn't take it seriously.

194
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 4: This isn't the.

195
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 3: NBA with eighty two games where guys don't play, guys

196
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 3: don't show up. No, everybody played, and you all.

197
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 1: Should run a bunch of extra laps or do something

198
00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: as penalty for a LA.

199
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 3: How do you not get at him?

200
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: You had one sack, you had a couple of things

201
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: where he was crumpling down.

202
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 3: It's like when he had to when he had to move,

203
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 3: it was not pretty.

204
00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,079
Speaker 1: Why are you not blitzing on every every sing overload,

205
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: every single if you could beat us downfield, have at it.

206
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 1: But but all that to say, it's like, look for

207
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: folks that want to dismiss it, and we keep going

208
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 1: in the it's the indictment of the Colts. How about

209
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: it's the indictment of the rest of the NFL that

210
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: there's not a that you say, Okay, he might be

211
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: better physically, but it's so hard to come in and

212
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: learn the system whatever, that we're not gonna bother, you know.

213
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: I remember I remember Jerry Glanville telling this story. Was

214
00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 1: it was really funny. Yeah, when Joe Namath was at

215
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,800
Speaker 1: the end of his Cret. He played that very briefly

216
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: with the Rams when he thought, Hey, I'm gonna go

217
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: out to Hollywood and be a big, big TV start

218
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 1: everything else. He goes played for the Rams and like

219
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,760
Speaker 1: his first or second game, I think they played whoever.

220
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Glanvill's defensive coordator for maybe the Falcons and Lehman

221
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: Bennett was the head coach right, and it was just

222
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,320
Speaker 1: absolutely awful for Joe Namath. Like he got hit, he

223
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 1: got sacked a whole bunch of times and everything and

224
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,719
Speaker 1: it was just a really bad like it's one of

225
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: those where all the video highlights of Joe Namath with

226
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: the Rams, like we're from this game. It's like, oh

227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: my god, Joe, like he couldn't run anymore yet, no

228
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 1: more mobility everything else. And he told a story where

229
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: I remember Jerry Glamville telling the story where he said

230
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: that after the game, the coach said to me, because

231
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 1: he was a defensive coordinator and he said, hey, uh

232
00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: you did you You blitzed you know, Nameth a lot, right,

233
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: Like you made sure you blitz Nameth a lot in

234
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: this game. And he said, I said to him, coach,

235
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: I think there was one play where I did not

236
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: blitz him like we flits him on every single play.

237
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,280
Speaker 1: I think there was one play we did not blitz him,

238
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: and I think he said it was like the end

239
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: of the half and thought they'd throw a hell Mary.

240
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: That's the only play they didn't blitz them all mass

241
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: Head splits him every single time.

242
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,719
Speaker 3: But that's what I thought we'd see. I mean, you

243
00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: had we talked about it on Friday show. I mean,

244
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 3: and I was hoping for the best, which I thought

245
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 3: that the Colts could still win the game, and they

246
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,920
Speaker 3: were there, but that you would attack. They were what

247
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 3: fourth or fifth coming into this weekend's game with forty

248
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 3: one team sacks. They got him once.

249
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know. And here's the other part is that

250
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: maybe there was a quick because now Philip Rivers has

251
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 1: already been named the starter for Monday Night football against

252
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: the Niners, already already that he's been named the starter

253
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: for next week. I don't know if this was one

254
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:54,679
Speaker 1: of those Hey, if you come out and play, we'll

255
00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: guarantee you a couple of weeks. But if you are

256
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: the if you are the Colts, you want to say, Okay,

257
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 1: Riley Leonard is clear he's maybe coming back. Anthony Richardson,

258
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: as you said he was coming back, and you still

259
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: have three games left the regular season. He'll never come back.

260
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: Not that you're gonna keep Anthony Richardson, but boy, wouldn't

261
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: you want to put him out there? Wouldn't you want

262
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: to put Riley Leonard? Because Riley Leonard came in and

263
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: ran the offense pretty well, you know when he came

264
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: just just for that little bit in relief of Daniel Jones.

265
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 1: So I don't know if this was the case of where, hey,

266
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,599
Speaker 1: we promised Philip another game or we promised him to

267
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: start the rest of the way, but you would think

268
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: for them the rest of this season, it's, well, we

269
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: really we want to get guys on the field that

270
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,839
Speaker 1: can maybe get us to more points. Right, So it's

271
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: kind of it's it's I think there's a little more

272
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 1: drama surrounding Rivers comeback than you think, because it's not

273
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 1: like you suddenly let the world on fire. He's a

274
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: great it's a great story, but let's not get it

275
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:48,720
Speaker 1: confused that you know, he looked like a guy that

276
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:51,199
Speaker 1: was thrust in and at the minute you can get

277
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 1: back to your old quarterback, you go back there. Well,

278
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: the other part said that that was for River.

279
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:57,840
Speaker 3: That maybe you don't like either of those other quarterbacks,

280
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,439
Speaker 3: and you realize that the playoffs are a distant past

281
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 3: in terms of your aptitude and ability. So now it's

282
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 3: the all right, let's just finish out the string. By

283
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 3: the way, again, San Francisco terrible rushing the passer. So

284
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 3: for Philip hey Man, he was able to stand tall

285
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 3: against the Seahawks, should be able to sit in the

286
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 3: pocket nice and clean against forty nine ers.

287
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: A Christmas gift for us, we got to football was easy,

288
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: easiestly the softest apology I've ever heard of my life,

289
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: because I was only sort of wrong. I was only

290
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: sort of from here. I was only sort of wrong.

291
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 1: I didn't have to fully apologize. I sort of right,

292
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: do you I was? At first? Of all, they lost

293
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 1: the game. No, no, you thought he was gonna be

294
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: They lost the game. They lost the game. He did

295
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: everything you said he could. He threw one hundred and

296
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:46,680
Speaker 1: twenty yards. I thought he was known for about one

297
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty yards. He said he could. He didn't

298
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: know he did. By the way, the over under on

299
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 1: his passing yards was one hundred and fifty three pint Fay.

300
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: He wasn't even close. I was sort of wrong. I

301
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: was sort of wrong. You were very wrong. I was

302
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 1: sort of right. I would not be very wrong if

303
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: he went for two seventy five and three touchdowns and

304
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,480
Speaker 1: they won thirty one twenty three, that I would have

305
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,400
Speaker 1: been a hundred percent wrong.

306
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 5: No.

307
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,559
Speaker 3: I had people that don't care about football that were

308
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: texting me, going, this is not the greatest story ever.

309
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,959
Speaker 1: It's like I stopped watching when they left Sandy. Yeah, me,

310
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: look and all that stuff. Let's understand this. They're letting

311
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: a good story and and a really good showing. Like

312
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: he was. He was going to be sincere about it.

313
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 3: I don't need to be that fifty six goes wide.

314
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 3: Is Philip Rivers not the hero of the day, Okay,

315
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 3: but he's offensive players should ever happen.

316
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: But that's it should have never he put them in

317
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: position to win.

318
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they had the big kickoff return and then it

319
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 3: just took a little bit after it.

320
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 1: It did happen, it didn't not happen, wasn't happen, lost

321
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: Jets interception? Hey, egg, you know what else is not

360
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: The Steelers win it twenty eight to fifteen. It's a

361
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: nice night for Aaron Rodgers twenty three out of twenty

362
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 1: seven for ninety eight yard Okay for two hundred and

363
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: twenty four yards and two scores. Enough. The Steelers get

364
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: out to a big lead. The Dolphins get a couple

365
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: of cosmetic touchdowns at the end to make it look

366
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: like it was closer than it was. But Steelers improved.

367
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: Eight and six, They lead the AFC North by a game.

368
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 1: The Dolphins done for the playoffs at six and eight.

369
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: Now with a big loss. Now, let's deal with the

370
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins first, because this was a game that it kind

371
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: of surprised me because the Dolphins you look back and

372
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 1: you have this image of them at the end of

373
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 1: seasons when it's too cold and they can't function in

374
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,159
Speaker 1: the cold, and I get it, but hey, you know,

375
00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: last couple of years they have a couple of wins

376
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: in the cold in December. It's not like something. They

377
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,040
Speaker 1: show up and going ready for the offseason to start.

378
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,199
Speaker 1: But the thing is, you watch the Dolphins at the

379
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: end of the season, and tonight is the night where

380
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: you have to understand that only one of two people

381
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 1: is coming back to the Dolphins next year. It's either

382
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: gonna be Mike McDaniel or two tongue Vailoa. And you

383
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: know what, it ain't gonna be to them. McDaniel has

384
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: the casheane. Now, they could have quit it one in six.

385
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 1: They revamped their team. They became a run heavy team

386
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 1: and they won six in a row, and it was

387
00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 1: great all of a sudden, Hey, way, they didn't quit.

388
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: That's what a big check mark in in Mike McDaniel's column.

389
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: But this was a night where the Dolphins needed points, right,

390
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: They couldn't impose their will on the game by running

391
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: the football like they have the last few weeks. Like

392
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: not a great night for h and though he didn't

393
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 1: really get a lot of carries, but they got behind

394
00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: and needed to throw the football. And you watch Tua

395
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:21,840
Speaker 1: when you get to when you get to this point

396
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 1: in the year, and you see he's got no zip

397
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: on the ball in the elements. He has a difficult

398
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 1: time throwing through them. It's a lot of it's a

399
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 1: lot of it's a lot of balloon balls. And he's

400
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: not the strongest guy obviously to throw the football to

401
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 1: begin with. It's not that he had a horrible night,

402
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,239
Speaker 1: it's that you watch tonight and you go, there's no

403
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 1: way he's bringing them back. He's not dynamic enough. I mean,

404
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,399
Speaker 1: you've seen enough from Tua over the past few years

405
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: to know that, all right, you're only gonna get him

406
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: to play a certain way. And when you don't have

407
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: playmakers everywhere, for him that you don't have Tyreek Hill

408
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 1: on the outside, don't have a really good tight end,

409
00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: you know, you know he'll and waddle together. Were great.

410
00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: When you don't have that, he's not He can't do it.

411
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 1: And to be a franchise quarterback, it's no longer the

412
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,120
Speaker 1: case where a guy signs and well, he's staying because

413
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,040
Speaker 1: they're paying them all that money. Yeah, no franchise quarterbacks

414
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 1: sign now for a couple of years. It's not working

415
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: out for a couple of years. Another team can take

416
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:18,479
Speaker 1: that on and think, Okay, we can do what we

417
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 1: need to with Tua, we can turn him into something else.

418
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: And so a guy gets traded, right. We may see

419
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: that with Joe Burrow, may see with some other guys,

420
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: but Tua especially. You watch the game tonight and go, yeah,

421
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 1: how many more Decembers can the Dolphins walk in and say,

422
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: you know, on a night where we need points, we're

423
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 1: just not gonna get him. You can't do that anymore.

424
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: You can't. You can't keep winning trying to work around

425
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: your quarterback. And as time goes on, it's clear that

426
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: the Dolphins have to spend more time working around their

427
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,480
Speaker 1: quarterback who is not getting a stronger arm. He's not

428
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: get We've seen the best of him, and Tua is

429
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: still somewhat serviceable. But in big games against big teams

430
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 1: in inclement weather, I mean this, these are the types

431
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,120
Speaker 1: of nights he has, right, I mean, his stats look okay,

432
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 1: but you watch the first two and a hal half

433
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,480
Speaker 1: quarters and they we're getting killed. Hey, a lot of

434
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: these stats are all in garbage time, and a couple

435
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: were just he just chucked it up in the end

436
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: zone to Darren Waller who made a big play. This

437
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,679
Speaker 1: was not a great night, right. The numbers look okay

438
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 1: for Tua, but overall in this night, this was they

439
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: were down big. He can't make the throws. They need

440
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: to move on. And the good news is with a

441
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 1: lack of great prospects in the NFL draft this year,

442
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: I mean, maybe the College Football PLAYFF will have something

443
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: to do with it, and maybe a couple of guys rise,

444
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 1: maybe Dante Moore rises a little bit. But going into

445
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: the offseason, the Dolphins are gonna have to say, hey,

446
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: we can make two available, and you know what, some

447
00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 1: teams that are unsure about drafting at the top, Hey,

448
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:39,720
Speaker 1: we're not drafting high enough to get a pick. Hey,

449
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 1: we can do something for Tua. Either, you know, you

450
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: help pay a salary down we give you a decent

451
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: draft pick, or we pay a salary and we give

452
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 1: you absolutely nothing and we're in it for a couple

453
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: of years with him. But there's no way the Dolphins

454
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: can come back next year and say, Okay, this is

455
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: it with Tua. You've had enough chance. You have enough

456
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: chance with Mike McDaniel And the way they started turning

457
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: their season around was when they decided to have less

458
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 1: of him and more of everybody else. So when all

459
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: those things happen, you know that it's time for a change.

460
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,920
Speaker 1: And I really I have a hard time seeing Tua

461
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 1: as the quarterback of the Dolphins next year.

462
00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 3: It's just tough to watch. Again. Some savor touchdowns. It

463
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,920
Speaker 3: becomes the if you check the highlights and box score

464
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 3: versus actually watching the game. Because he had a couple

465
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 3: of inexplicable sacks that he took to create ridiculous down

466
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 3: distant situations, which takes eight chan except in the passing game,

467
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 3: kind of off the board for you in a number

468
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 3: of those circumstances. And we've talked about his arm strength,

469
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 3: it's all timing, routes and everything for a long time, right,

470
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,480
Speaker 3: the occasional go get it once upon a time with

471
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,560
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill. Well, that guy's not on the field fifteen

472
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,879
Speaker 3: to twenty mile an hour wins all the way he

473
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: throws the ball. You're putting it up now, and when

474
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 3: he did, what happened disaster? Right, So you're trying to

475
00:21:55,640 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 3: work the run game, which they were inexplicably not willing

476
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:03,720
Speaker 3: to commit to early. No TJ Watt, I get it.

477
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: You get excited that you don't have the pass rusher

478
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,080
Speaker 3: out there, but that also weakens what they can do upfront.

479
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 3: So why are you not trying to take advantage of

480
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 3: It's been where your strength is. Your defense has been

481
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 3: great today Aaron Rodgers. It was all short completions and

482
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,760
Speaker 3: a lot of yak Like no tackling one on one

483
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: open field tackling was an absolutely atrocious Uh, this is

484
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,639
Speaker 3: a tape to show It's like, all right, this is

485
00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 3: how to not try to attack a runner in the

486
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 3: open field. They they had the run after Friar Moot's

487
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: third catch. He had forty five yards receiving thirty three

488
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 3: after the catch, like running free in the secondary was

489
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 3: like what.

490
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,720
Speaker 1: Are we Doing's that a threat to throw it outside

491
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: the numbers? Aaron Rodgers is smart because he fades back.

492
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: He drops back to pass further than ever before to

493
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: make it look like those passes are really lost. He's

494
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: really gonna fool you. So it's all an opted force perspective.

495
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: He's got a thirty seven step drop. When thirty seven

496
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: he threw it out tonight to Kenneth Gainwell, there was

497
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: a thirty seven strip step drop. It would wow. The

498
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: ball traveled forty yards, game three yards, but it traveled four.

499
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 3: It was good air yards, air yards per attempt. He

500
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 3: can pad those stats. But to also the narrative continues, right,

501
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,800
Speaker 3: what's the graphic you see? It was Mike Tomlin record

502
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 3: at home on Monday night football. Well, now he's twelve

503
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 3: and zero and for Tua, it's the sixth game. He's

504
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 3: zero and six. When the game time temperatures under forty degrees.

505
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 3: It was sixteen degrees, felt like what they say eleven

506
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,439
Speaker 3: or ten degrees or whatever. It was not quite as

507
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 3: cold as Chicago, but still the ball is a rock

508
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 3: as you're getting it out there, and it's a balloon

509
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 3: ball that he throws normally does to us, So it

510
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 3: becomes that much more difficult a proposition to get him

511
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 3: to drive it into spots. And even without TJ. Watt,

512
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,920
Speaker 3: they got heat on him dropping back and he's drifting,

513
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:51,199
Speaker 3: and again, how he doesn't throw the ball out of

514
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,119
Speaker 3: bounds live to see another play instead of absorbing the

515
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:59,040
Speaker 3: sacks is beyond me, particularly when he's rolling to the left.

516
00:23:59,359 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: That's the thing.

517
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,239
Speaker 3: And I'll never understand that, no matter the quarterback, if

518
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,680
Speaker 3: you're rolling to your arm side, you're throwing arm side,

519
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 3: how you don't just do the little flick out of

520
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:13,399
Speaker 3: bounds and just save the down, save the yardage instead

521
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:15,879
Speaker 3: of absorbing the sack because you're not suddenly gonna break free.

522
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 3: Two is not suddenly gonna do one of those Caleb

523
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 3: Williams throws like finding DJ Moore that ull it to

524
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 3: the back of the end zone and he goes. I

525
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: can make any throw. Jua can't do that.

526
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: No, he can make a couple of throws. Even even

527
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: though that first touchdown to Darren Waller was a beautiful

528
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: throw right in between two defenders.

529
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 3: At that point, it's garbage time. It's garbage time. You're

530
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 3: not making that comeback when he needed the throw. He

531
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 3: didn't have it.

532
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 1: What do you got Frostburg? Jason, you mentioned this.

533
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,920
Speaker 3: The Dolphins have had recent success in the cold.

534
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: At some point they've been okay, yeah, well their recent

535
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: success was beating the Jets. Its actually been nowhere near Okay,

536
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: when do you think their last win in the cold

537
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: has been?

538
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

539
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: No, they've won games in December. No, they haven't. Yeah

540
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,880
Speaker 1: they have hot cold games, yeah they yeah, they have.

541
00:24:56,960 --> 00:25:01,400
Speaker 1: They actually haven't won one since twenty sixteen, oh, including

542
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: the playoffs in Buffalo. But but ah, I think I

543
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: think they have.

544
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: A couple more wins than they actually don't. But it's

545
00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:10,360
Speaker 3: it's not just December.

546
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, but it's it's a cold it's it's the cold win.

547
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: It's it's in cold weather against other teams in twel

548
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 1: so women go back in twenty twenty four. Last year

549
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 1: in December, they won at Cleveland, okay, twenty to three,

550
00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: and they lost to the Jets. But okay, they won

551
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: at Cleveland, which was a cold game. Right last year

552
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: at Cleveland December twenty ninth, that's a cold game, right.

553
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: Are the four games they played in December. They won

554
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,600
Speaker 1: it home again San Francisco, they lost to Cleveland. They

555
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 1: lost to the Jets, so they won a game there

556
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,120
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty three. You want to go back because

557
00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: that was that was a cold game there twenty twenty three.

558
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 1: In December, the Dolphins lost at Baltimore fifty six to nineteen,

559
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: which is a bad lot. It's a bad l all right,

560
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not telling it's not a bad l. But

561
00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: they all they they beat Buffe at the end of

562
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: the season, Buffalo, they have it win. I'm tell you

563
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: that Buffalo. They haven't done that. But you want to

564
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: but go back that they can still play. Okay, it's again,

565
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: it's not great, But it's not that it's all on

566
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 1: the Dolphins that they can say, oh, they haven't won

567
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: this game. They won a game they beat New England.

568
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: So it's a it's a look, it's a case of

569
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: it's not just the Dolphins can't win in cold weather.

570
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: It's not it's it's not just that. It's you have

571
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: to have a team that can win in cold weather

572
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 1: at the end of the season, right, you can't. You can't.

573
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: You can't have a team that can't win in cold weather.

574
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,240
Speaker 1: And it's when it gets a point where, hey, you

575
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 1: need to win games to get to the playoffs, to

576
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:41,480
Speaker 1: get to the super Bowl. And that's about having a

577
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: quarterback that can make those kind of throws. Right, It's

578
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:46,720
Speaker 1: if they had a different if they had an all

579
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 1: weather quarterback, they had someone that could, you know, like

580
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: in Aaron Rodgers in his prime, or someone they didn't

581
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: won more game, they didn't won more games down the stretch,

582
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: it'd be more of a threat when he got to

583
00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: December and January.

584
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, it's funny because I immediately go, all right, let's

585
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: take that Cleveland win, you know, unseasonal high high forties

586
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 3: to sixty degree because was it temph so Joe shadd

587
00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 3: about an hour ago without the comeback, and this is

588
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 3: in the final minutes. I won fourteenth streak under forty.

589
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 3: Now again, game time temperature for that one last year

590
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,120
Speaker 3: was hot. Because this is where we could get into, well,

591
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 3: it's a little fuzzy manner is cold, but under forty

592
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 3: is where we're deciding.

593
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 1: It's under forties, not that forty and above is not

594
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: cold for four but here in California, thirty eight, sixty

595
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,520
Speaker 1: five and under is cold for some year. Thirty eight

596
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: is not cold. Thirty five is not coty twenty is cold.

597
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: Thirty seven in a row like twenty twenty is cold.

598
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: Ten is called, but like.

599
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 3: Even more so.

600
00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: They should have won some of those. Look they beat

601
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 1: the Jets two weeks ago. Oh wait, that ruined.

602
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 3: That ruins my point four and thirteen in prime time

603
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,679
Speaker 3: under Mike McDaniel. Twenty five straight years without a playoff,

604
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 3: and that's Joe shadd You.

605
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: Gotta know that two is not gonna look legit or

606
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: win games in December and January. Right, you have to

607
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: know and nothing's changing, that nothing's changing where you play.

608
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 1: We have to play in January. It's okay. We have

609
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: to make sure we go get a guy that you know,

610
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,680
Speaker 1: the ball can cut through the air, the guy can

611
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 1: make big throws that I can throw the ball downfield.

612
00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,200
Speaker 1: It's great in September and October in the in the

613
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:12,159
Speaker 1: heat of Miami when you can do all that, But

614
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 1: when your quarterback can't make those throws, right, I mean,

615
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:16,679
Speaker 1: what else you gonna do. Look, they've been winning all

616
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: the way through when they decided to go, hey we're

617
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: run heavy. They're winning all the games, right, winning all

618
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,280
Speaker 1: the games, winning all the games, winning all the games.

619
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 1: When they have to throw the football. Look what happens

620
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 1: right like that? Again, you want to talk about forty

621
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: degrees being called the temperature dipped under forty against the

622
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: Jets a couple of weeks ago. It didn't matter to

623
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:32,440
Speaker 1: it enough to do anything, and they ran for two

624
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty yards. All right, that's what we talk about.

625
00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: That the other part with you just I mean, we

626
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: danced around it. The guy's a turnover machine.

627
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,920
Speaker 3: He's like, he threw that pick today, but he's basically

628
00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: one to one for the season, right, he keeps the

629
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 3: the margin above that you know, even number because he

630
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 3: got the second touchdown pass to Waller, but he came

631
00:28:56,040 --> 00:29:00,120
Speaker 3: in at what seventeen and fifteen? Yeah, so it's he

632
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 3: giveth and he taketh away. So you're you're never getting

633
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:05,520
Speaker 3: over with that. It's not nineteen seventy eight anymore.

634
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, and just think about the think about mentally

635
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: for the team, right, if you're the team, if you're

636
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins nation, if you're that after this year, the Dolphins nation,

637
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: we are Every team has a nation, Okay, and they

638
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: going next season saying yep, we are coming back next year.

639
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:21,640
Speaker 1: We're gonna be healthy. And two was gonna do it that.

640
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: That's like, uh, you're taking all the wind out of

641
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 1: our sales before the season even starts, Like, oh, we're

642
00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna try it again with Tua. They've tried it enough.

643
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:29,600
Speaker 1: They need something.

644
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: Let me ask the question. We're deposits for season tickets already.

645
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 3: Do time now to find out what's trending in the

646
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: wide world of sports. But guy's been called the Aaron

647
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 3: Rodgers of Fox Sports Radio. He likes to drink aahuasca

648
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: tea very late at night. Nope, it's Steve Disager just relaxing.

649
00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 3: Oh just right, relax You.

650
00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 1: Tell me that that cup of tea you have it

651
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 1: is just relaxation in a cup? Is that what it is?

652
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: On the degrees as we give it the third degree,

653
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 4: that's that I can clear up. You're both correct. The

654
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 4: stat is that the Dolphins have gone almost a decade

655
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 4: without winning a game. When it's under forty degrees at kickoff, yes,

656
00:30:07,920 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 4: all more correct. Last week it was forty one degrees

657
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 4: at kickoff when they won the Jets.

658
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: I tried, but it dipped under me. But there was

659
00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 1: a big deal during the game. It dipped under four.

660
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: It's all about kickoff.

661
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 3: This is it's right we decide where are starting right

662
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 3: the last four weeks, for the last six weeks, it's.

663
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 4: Like the stat on the show before you of you

664
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 4: know Steph Curry when he's trying a game winning shot

665
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 4: with fifty seconds left, with what fifty how about just

666
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,760
Speaker 4: say the last two minutes? So the last one minute, boy,

667
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:41,480
Speaker 4: you really have an agenda here. And to a tongue

668
00:30:41,520 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 4: of iloa. With that early pick tonight, that is a

669
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 4: career high fifteen interceptions, most in the NFL this season.

670
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:51,480
Speaker 4: So you know Gino Smith today off so to it

671
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: takes the lead. That's the most interceptions by any Dolphin

672
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 4: in over a decade. And what really the Dolphins have

673
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 4: needed is some thing the Chargers exhibited throughout the second

674
00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 4: half yesterday is they need a guy with minimum protection

675
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,479
Speaker 4: who can still run the offense and a team in

676
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: general that's toughness, shows toughness even in cold weather. When

677
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,560
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow was drafted twenty twenty and he was taking

678
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:17,040
Speaker 4: number one overall, that was the year the Dolphins were

679
00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 4: taking a quarterback. They had the fifth selection overall, Chargers

680
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 4: had number six. Dolphins took to it and then the

681
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 4: Chargers got Justin Herbert and then Green Bay took Jordan

682
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 4: Love later in the first round, and then Jalen Hurts

683
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 4: went to Philadelphia early in the second round. By the way,

684
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 4: Steelers beat the Dolphins twenty eight to fifteen. Tonight, Steelers

685
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 4: were down three to nothing late first half. I did

686
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 4: not realize this. The Steelers have scored seven points or

687
00:31:44,040 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 4: less in a first quarter in sixty four straight games, now,

688
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 4: all under Mike Tomlin, and that is the longest set

689
00:31:50,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 4: streak by any head coach in NFL history. Aaron Rodgers

690
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:58,280
Speaker 4: was barely pressured tonight, had two touchdown passes. He was

691
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 4: twenty three of twenty seven for two hundred and twenty

692
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,480
Speaker 4: four yards. He was pressured on four of his dropbacks tonight,

693
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:08,840
Speaker 4: four out of his thirty, so he completed eighty five

694
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 4: percent of his passes, his highest in a game in

695
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:15,480
Speaker 4: over a year. And just to compare the kind of

696
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 4: pressure we saw last night in Dallas, for example, Dak

697
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 4: Prescott was pressured over fifty percent of the time he

698
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 4: dropped back to pass, which was the highest pressure rate

699
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 4: he has faced in a game in three years. Steelers

700
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: now eight and six, and yes, Pittsburgh's franchise has won

701
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 4: twenty three straight at home on Monday Night football dating

702
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,440
Speaker 4: back to nineteen ninety one. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes had

703

Speaker 4: surgery tonight on his torn ACL. The Jets fire defensive

Speaker 4: again next Monday Night. Washington shut down QB Jaden Daniels

Speaker 4: and Yes, Packers defensive end Micah Parsons does have a

00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,520
Speaker 4: Detroit is now twenty one, one and five after winning

710

Speaker 4: at Boston one twelve to one oh five final seconds.

732
00:34:09,320 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 1: friend Mike Harmon. Oh, we got a big basketball story

733
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,560
Speaker 1: coming your way in about ten minutes.

734
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:16,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, but uh, one.

735
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: Quarterback going one way, one quarterback going the other way.

736
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: This quarterback saying, hey, what do you want for me? Uh?

737
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,720
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels will not play the rest of the season.

738
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: The Commanders shutting him down right call you're done. You

739
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 1: don't want him to turn into RG three. If we

740
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 1: talked about it last week, that that seems to be

741
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: the career path he is on year one he was terrific.

742
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: Three separate injuries year two, you want to make sure

743
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,760
Speaker 1: that you haven't protected as much as possible. No reason

744
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: to keep him up right this year. Your season's done.

745
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 1: You need playmakers next year. There's gonna be big changes

746
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,520
Speaker 1: in Washington because of the dive they took this year

747
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: from one step before the Super Bowl to where they

748
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: sit now. So yeah, no reason to play him. The

749
00:34:57,600 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: right call to sit him out the one hundred percent.

750
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: I'm with the commanders on fully expected the regression from

751
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 1: a year ago, right, all of those one score wins,

752
00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:09,520
Speaker 1: just like we talked about with the Chiefs all the

753
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: way through that there would be some reckoning. Did you

754
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,839
Speaker 1: think he would go completely the other way for both

755
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: those squads? No, But when Daniels came back against the Vikings,

756
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,160
Speaker 1: that made absolutely no.

757
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,080
Speaker 3: Sense to me. Given the severity of that injury. It's

758
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,799
Speaker 3: kind of like, you know, some of the other quarterbacks

759
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 3: that we'll talk about, but with Daniels, the initial response

760
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,760
Speaker 3: and diagnosis and what we got as far as information

761
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,839
Speaker 3: about that injury, it's like, why are you gonna push back,

762
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 3: especially a guy that wants to still be mobile, a

763
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 3: guy that wants to get you know stretch plays and

764
00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:47,880
Speaker 3: make plays with his legs. You're just putting yourself in

765
00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 3: harm harm's way against a team that is known for

766
00:35:50,840 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 3: blitzing the hell.

767
00:35:51,640 --> 00:35:52,000
Speaker 1: Out of you.

768
00:35:52,960 --> 00:35:55,720
Speaker 3: Right, Why would you put him in harm's way behind

769
00:35:55,760 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 3: a bad offensive line when your season is already lost.

770
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:01,840
Speaker 1: Yeah. And the other part, and this is why I disagree,

771
00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,719
Speaker 1: is that Joe Burrow is going to play the rest

772
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:08,200
Speaker 1: of the season for the Bengals, Zach Taylor saying in

773
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,960
Speaker 1: a press conference today, we want to win. Okay, I

774
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:17,399
Speaker 1: get it, I understand. Wow, dude, Joe Burrow wants out. Right.

775
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 1: We talked about this last week his happiness conversation. Joe

776
00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,240
Speaker 1: Burrow is a kind He's got a lot of lebron

777
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:27,560
Speaker 1: He's got a lot of media savvy in him. He

778
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 1: knows what he's doing when he says things to the media.

779
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 1: He's not someone that's just gonnay. Hey, I wore my

780
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: heart on my sleeve for a few minutes than I

781
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:36,359
Speaker 1: shouldn't have. He's not happy, you know, he wants out

782
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 1: and this is his beginning of doing it. You want

783
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:41,600
Speaker 1: to make sure he is happy more than anything else,

784
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 1: and is putting him out there to potentially get him

785
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:48,239
Speaker 1: hurt or be more unhappy the way to go. Look,

786
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: you watch him play yesterday was terrible, right. Jason locking

787
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,959
Speaker 1: Forward joined us last couple hours ago and said, look,

788
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:58,000
Speaker 1: I've never seen him more disinterested in a football game

789
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:00,759
Speaker 1: than I saw him play yesterday. The main thing you

790
00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:03,799
Speaker 1: have nothing to play for now is just you want

791
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,239
Speaker 1: Joe Burr to be happy going forward in Cincinnati and

792
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,080
Speaker 1: is playing the next three week when it looks like

793
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play anymore, and when you're not

794
00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: playing for anything, and you want to keep him in

795
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: a positive frame of mind. Now, I'm not somebody that

796
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: always feels like, hey, hand holding is what has to

797
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 1: be done, but you got to keep your franchise quarterback happy.

798
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,839
Speaker 1: And I don't know what plus you're gonna get all

799
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,560
Speaker 1: of a Sudden's he gonna rediscover his love for the

800
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: Bengals the next three weeks or is it gonna be.

801
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: There's no way you can make it better, but you

802
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,440
Speaker 1: can make it worse. If he goes out there and

803
00:37:31,440 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 1: gets his ass kicked the next three weeks, that's just

804
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 1: gonna hasten the decline and his desire to get out

805
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:39,720
Speaker 1: of town. What you're doing is you're kind of holding

806
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,800
Speaker 1: it if you don't play in the last three weeks. Okay,

807
00:37:41,800 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: you can maybe repair things in the offseason and talk

808
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: to him, make adjustments to the offense, the offensive line,

809
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,160
Speaker 1: whatever it's going to be to keep him upright, and

810
00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:52,440
Speaker 1: things can be better. But if he has a bad

811
00:37:52,560 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 1: last three weeks, if you're not gonna have a chance,

812
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:56,759
Speaker 1: he's gonna say I went out the day after the

813
00:37:56,800 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: season ends. So there's no good that can be done

814
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: for this. This is where the Bengal no matter what

815
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,880
Speaker 1: kind of conversations we got to understand, keeping him happy

816
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,560
Speaker 1: is the best way, and the best way is to

817
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: just take some time away now and look at things

818
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:09,840
Speaker 1: in the offseason.

819
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:12,760
Speaker 3: Can I be honest with you here, Let's be honest

820
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 3: with you. Be in America and the globe.

821
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:19,759
Speaker 1: He absolutely torpedo all the high thoughts I had of

822
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:23,600
Speaker 1: him with that effort or lack thereof. Yesterday he was.

823
00:38:23,520 --> 00:38:28,439
Speaker 3: So disinterested and air mailing walls. There was one where

824
00:38:28,440 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 3: he kind of stopped instead of getting out of bounds,

825
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 3: he went to flick it and then he got mad

826
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 3: that someone hit him. It's like, no, you're still in

827
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,759
Speaker 3: the field to play. If you don't want to be there.

828
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:40,000
Speaker 1: Walk off, walk off, Like I really thought that when

829
00:38:40,040 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 1: we had that happiness thing, It's all right, I'll still

830
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: find my happiness on the field.

831
00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 3: I could be mad about all of this stuff. And

832
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,799
Speaker 3: I was the first to try to yell from the mountaintops, like, no,

833
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 3: there's no Andrew Luck situation here. That's a bunch of nonsense.

834
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,759
Speaker 3: He fought back and after all that fighting, that's the

835
00:38:56,840 --> 00:38:59,240
Speaker 3: effort you're gonna put out there against the division rival,

836
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:01,000
Speaker 3: your division.

837
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 1: Yeah no that.

838
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 3: If I'm a teammate, I'm pissed beyond all belief that

839
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:07,760
Speaker 3: you went out there and gave that kind of effort.

840
00:39:08,080 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 3: You could say what you want. You can be selling

841
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 3: about the team and whatever, and you maybe you need

842
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 3: a hug. Fine, But for those sixty minutes, you got

843
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 3: eleven guys on the other side that want to kill you.

844
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,480
Speaker 3: And that's what you do. That is the effort you

845
00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:22,920
Speaker 3: come out with.

846
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: You got shut out. This is it's hard.

847
00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:28,040
Speaker 3: To get shut out and the nation, unless you're the Raiders,

848
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 3: it's hard to get shut out in the National Football League.

849
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,200
Speaker 1: This is the playbook that stars have to play by

850
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 1: when they want out.

851
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: I divest any shares in liking Joe Burrow. This is

852
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 3: the man.

853
00:39:40,960 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: This is the playbook that guys have to play by

854
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: if you're a star and you want out, because you

855
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: know the Bengals the way they operate, it ain't gonna

856
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: be easy. Ain't gonna be easy. It's not gonna be Hey,

857
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: it's not working. Where where we're looking at this now,

858
00:39:53,080 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be all we're gonna sit at you and

859
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 1: not trigguing. We watched Mike Brown do it with Carson

860
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 1: Palmer all those years ago, and he sat for a

861
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 1: long time like, get what you're saying. But this is

862
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,160
Speaker 1: him starting to throw that out there. I came back,

863
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 1: I don't know why you even played last night.

864
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 3: But that's the thing, I don't know why saying I'm

865
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: not doing it. There's no point in this point where

866
00:40:11,040 --> 00:40:14,960
Speaker 3: mathematically eliminated. It's better for me mentally, physically and for

867
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 3: the team that I'm right going on.

868
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: But that's where the team has to do that and

869
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 1: step up for him instead of letting him say I

870
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: want out the team, No, we're sitting you out like

871
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: That's where the team has to has to take it.

872
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:27,480
Speaker 3: But either way that can all happen behind the scenes

873
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:30,520
Speaker 3: and you don't end up. It's one thing to let

874
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:33,960
Speaker 3: everybody have the wide open interpretations of your press conference.

875
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:36,920
Speaker 3: It's another thing to go put forth a lackluster effort

876
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 3: when everybody's waiting to see what happens on a Sunday

877
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 3: against the Ravens.

878
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: Well, I'm more on this story, plus another big breaking

879
00:40:43,640 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 1: story out of college football next fall.
